Summary
What a whirlwind week! In this episode of Certified McNasty, Matt Manasse and Jason Adler recap the star-studded premiere of the new pickleball mockumentary, Pickle Heads, at the iconic Chinese Theater in Hollywood. Matt shares what it was like acting alongside legendary John O'Hurley and gives the film its official "DUPR Rating". Then, Matt heads to the desert for Desert Smash to play with Nick Kyrgios and Anna Bright. Was the tennis superstar actually trying, or was it a "piss poor" effort?. Plus, we dive into the "grunting" incident between Hunter Johnson and Federico Stacksrud—is it a legitimate hindrance or just a sign of frustration?. Finally, Jason recounts his "journalism" moment at the PPA Newport Beach where a confrontation with Kate Fahy almost turned into a TMZ headline.
