CHARLES: LET'S FACE IT FOLKS. IT'S TAKING THE NATION BY STORM AND SOON, WELL IT'S GOING TO BE TAKING EMERGENCY ROOM BY STORM AS WELL. NOW THERE'S A NEW REPORT OUT SAYING PICKLEBALL INJURIES COST BETWEEN 250 AND $500 MILLION A YEAR. TALKING HIP REPLACEMENT, KNEE SURGERIES, ALL OF THE OTHER CONDITIONS THAT OLDER FOLKS GET WHEN THEY ARE TRYING TO BRING BACK THAT PAST SPORTS GLORY. NOW, THE
SPORT IS A PHENOM. THEY ESTIMATE 22 MILLION PLAYERS THIS YEAR UP FROM 4 MILLION IN 2020 TO TALK ABOUT 150% GROWTH THIS YEAR ALONE. WHAT I FOUND INTRIGUING 45% OF THE PLAYERS MAKEOVER IS HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR SO MAYBE SOME PEOPLE ARE GIVING UP GOLF FOR THIS STUFF. I DON'T KNOW. HERE IS THE THING. EVERY TIME I LOOK UP THERE'S SOME NEW SPORT OUT THERE
AND THEY ALREADY GOT TV CONTRACTS. TAKE A LOOK AT THESE SPORTS. I MEAN, SUPER-PUNT, BLOW-BALL, I MEAN, WHAT ARE THESE THINGS? SO HERE IT IS FOLKS. I'M TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW. MY MISSION IS TO COME UP WITH A NEW SPORT. NOW I FIGURE IT'S GOT TO BE SOMETHING WE ALREADY GOT THESE THINGS LAYING AROUND OUR HOUSE. MAYBE WE RETROFIT A SPORT USING OLD BOWLING BALLS, BUT
I'M GOING TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. GIVE ME TIME AND I'LL BE THE FIRST COMMISSIONER OF THE LEAGUE AS WELL, BECAUSE THIS IS MADNESS. EVERY TIME I TURN ON THE TV THERE'S SOMETHING I HAVEN'T SEEN BEFORE
