Yeet the Yo: Spin Stories of YoYo Players

So Excited to Launch the Guest Portion of the Podcast with MamaYoYos Michelle Dauer! We met at Nationals and again at Spirit, and she's such a supportive person and active member of the yo-yo community, hailing from DXL in Long Beach! We discuss routines, practice, yoyo way of life, and her inspiration from Val Oliver and watching yoyo kids grow up :) Her yoyo is the Duncan Evolve (the signiture yoyo of her son Justin Dauer :) Use YeettheYo for 10% off - Get it on YoYoSame here

In this episode, I share how I came across the GenAlpha word 'yeet' and how I've utilized it in my show and how it morphed into a math adventure with activity playstation - measuring your yeet to get your YES (Yeet Efficiency Score) - so fun and funny right?!  I went to the Spirit YoYo Contest to test out my Yeet device on real Pro YoYoers! Listen to what happened and enjoy the audio talking and music tidbits experience! Like/Review if you please - the podcast is new and algorithm clicks do matter in this day of age, so thanks for your support in my effort to share joy with you and fellow listeners <3
