On this globe-trotting episode of The McGuffin Show, Tyson and Meg take you behind the scenes of an unforgettable few months filled with packed stadiums, cultural immersion, family milestones, and major brand moves.
They dive into their whirlwind Legends Tour through Vietnam and China, where pickleball fans showed up in force (counterfeit tickets and all) and the sport’s global boom is very real. From backflips in Ha Long Bay to signing thousands of paddles, the McGuffins reflect on the surreal rise of pickleball abroad and their growing international presence with Skechers, JOOLA, and Reignstorm.
Back in the States, it’s all about balance - Tyson finishes his back piece with Mad Rabbit, the family celebrates Sky’s graduation with a ramen bar and pink drinks. Meanwhile Mac and Banks take on jiu-jitsu and gymnastics with a whole lot of personality. Plus, there’s golf redemption, community giveback with RiteWay court resurfacing, and what’s next for the Phoenix Flames and MLP.
You'll also hear updates on Tyson’s YouTube schedule (new videos every Monday!), their upcoming pickleball camps across the U.S. and abroad, and a sneak peek at big projects ahead.
