Two Wiffle Dudes Podcast Network

Episode 48 was given the honor to be the first media platform to unveil the 2017 NWLA Tournament Regional Schedules. There will be a video of the random drawing, and the schedule will obviously be on the tournament website, but 2WD is here to give it to you first. Justin Tomkins hopped on for the first segment, and he quickly ran down each of the 14 regional team’s schedules. Jeremy Ray from the Huntington Wiffleball League then joined the show. He talked about which format he likes best for the HWL, how he doesn’t feel bad for the tough luck HWL has had in the NWLA Tournament, and the future of his league. Great show!

The boys from WWF have put out a few podcasts already, but this is the first one on the 2WD Podcast Network, so let’s just call it ‘Episode 1’. Anywho, for their first episode on the network, they started their series of interviews with their NWLA Tournament Regional opponents, and started off with Dylan Harshaw, commissioner of the Ridley Park Wiffleball League. We are thrilled to have Wiffle on Tap join the network, and look forward to many more great shows from them!

Leroy Wiffleball Association is a league on the rise, so on this episode, the dudes talked to the man in charge of it all, Tim W. Before Tim joined the show, Carl and Josh talked about TBW, HRL, and a little NWLA Tournament talk. Tim W. then answered all the tough questions, and then stumped Josh. He stumped him good.

Longtime rivals, Mike Boyles and Josh Smith faced off on Episode 46, but as per usual, 2WD brought people together. Everyone acted friendly, but it was still very entertaining. Before Mr. Mequon joined us, Josh and Carl talked about the new NWLA Tournament Regional format. Give it a listen wiffle nation, shall you?

We have an action packed show, nation! Carl started the show catching up with Nate Fudala from Wiffleworks. Fill-in co-host Sam Skibbe then joins in and he and Carl talk about this and that. Finally, the guest, Tyler "Smallpox" Flakne joins the show, and we ask him some hard hitting questions. Tyler doesn't shy away from any of them. Great show!

Few people in wiffle nation have put a stamp on this sport as much as Billy Owens. It was truly an honor to have him on. Before talking with Billy, Josh and Carl talk about the aftermath from last week's show, how to succeed in the NWLA Tournament, and their favorite styles of wiffleball. Billy then joins in, and talks about the history of Fast Plastic, the hay-day of his tournaments, and much more. Great show that any wiffle enthusiast will thoroughly enjoy!

Few episodes have been more anticipated, and this one lived up to its hype. The Palisades WBL vs NWLA (Tomkins) twitter feud caused wiffle nation to anxiously wait for this show, and both Joe Gallo and Justin Tomkins got to talk. Not at the same time, but this is the best we could do. Of course, the show opened with Josh and Carl having a friendly discussion about the current wiffle happenings, but if you want to skip that part, we understand. Tomkins Segment: 20:25 Gallo Interview: 26:25

Longtime friend of the show, Jeremy Ratajczyk joined us for Episode 42. Before that, Josh and Carl talked about the things they miss in the wiffle world. Jeremy then joins in, and they talk about GBL's NWLA Tournament failures, ignoring Tim W., and hating grass.

Josh and Carl open up the show with Michael Sessions, and they talk about the 2017 NWLA Tournament located in Michael's city of Morenci. They then welcome in Trent Steffes, MNWA founder and commish. Trent is a young wiffle enthusiast who is loved by all of wiffle nation. We talk to Trent about MN wiffle, his obsession with socks, and the deep down truth of HRL.

Josh and Carl reunite, and the first segment proved how much they missed each other. They then talk to Rob Mix, longtime wiffler, but unknown national wiffle figure. Rob has recently teamed up with Jimmy Cole, to help grow the AWAA into the next big east coast wiffle organization.

It’s a WSEM reunion, as Brandon Corbett guest hosted, and Alex Shore was interviewed. In the first segment, Carl and Corbs catch up and talk about both WSEM and national wiffle topics. Alex Shore then joins the Dudes, and the fun doesn’t stop. Seriously, it never stopped. Thanks to Stephen Werner for providing the new intro and outro music!

Justin Tomkins is the guest co-host, and the Dudes start off the show by breaking down the new NWLA Tournament requirements and rule change. Both Justin and Carl are on the NWLA Tournament Host Committee, so their analysis on the subject goes deep. The Dudes then interview Ian Crosby and Adam Milsted, who play for the traveling wiffleball team, Way Too Beautiful. W2B play out of New Jersey, and both of the guys were informative and entertaining.

Josh Smith returned and the Dudes kicked off the show with some New Year wiffle predictions. The Dudes then welcomed in Spencer Bogad from the Skibbe Wiffleball League. Spencer is a fan favorite in the national scene, and he had an incredible 2016 wiffle year.

Josh Smith was a late scratch, so Sam Skibbe returned for his third straight show. Sam and Carl opened the show with some insightful wiffle talk, before welcoming Jack Shannon. Jack is an ace pitcher from the Potomac Wiffleball League, and the reigning National Columnist of the Year. He told us many great stories and dropped a big bomb at the end. This was a fun show, many LOL moments.

Sam Skibbe, the man in charge of the NWLA website once again joined us to announce the award winners of the eight most prestigious Wiffys. Some big names won, some upsets were had, and Nate Miller got talked about a lot. Sorry for the delay, and I hope you enjoy!

Josh made it on for this show, and the Dudes were joined by Sam Skibbe, Justin Tomkins, and Derek Linderman. Those three guys along with Carl make up the existing NWLA Tournament host committee. The big news of the show was the future of the tournament without Chris Gallaway. It won't be easy to keep it going without one of the most legendary wiffleball figures of all time, but the committee will try. We broke the big news about the date and location of the 2017 tournament, and then answered a lot of the tough questions. If you care about the future of this great tournament, you will want to listen. I promise you that!

Welcome Baaaaaack! Stephen Farkas replaced Josh last minute and the Dudes caught up a bit. After catching up, they talked to Regis Pollard. Regis was the face of the Washburn Wiffleball League, before taking his talents to the OCWA Freaky Franchise, where he helped them take home the 2016 NWLA Tournament Cup. It's nice to be back, wiffle nation!

32 is a big one. Chris Gallaway makes his decision regarding his involvement with the NWLA Tournament in 2017. He then answers the Who, What, Where, Why, When & Will Questions. It's a must listen podcast, so give it a listen!

Busy day at the fields, but Carl managed to sneak in one interview during the jam packed wiffle Saturday. He talked with Caleb Jonkman from Leroy Wiffleball Association, fresh off their Double Elim Round 1 win over Hess Field.

Evan pops the Two Wiffle Dudes Dublin interview tour cherry. The WSEM pitcher just got in after driving 14 hours from Nebraska, and isn't awkward at all.
