Who is behind “LES PIPES”?

The Daily “LES PIPES” makes a sensational entry into the world of padel. Thibault Perreon and Pierre Gadras, the founders of “PADEL FOR DUMMIES”Launched this new daily column obviously in the tone of“ 7th degree ”in the face of this historic health crisis.

Pierre Gadras (PG): I'm afraid the Padel for Dummies be behind this little daily ... For those who are lucky enough not to know us, we are the specialists of the crusaders: Thibault Perreon and Pierre Gadras, more injuries than victories!

Thibault Perreron (TP): Pierre is a very humble person except padel since he won P500s… The truth is that it is a lot of his initiative and I am content to provide some ideas and to read every evening this little daily newspaper of which I am already a fan!

PG: With Thib, we wanted to do something in this rather special period… We launched ideas, and I couldn't even tell you why we started with that, but it all started with the title… (we weren't talking about That, I reassure you ahah) A word which resembles the famous French sports daily and which is in adequacy with our page: LES PIPES seemed obvious to us. We had to pay a little more homage to the community Padel and all the thank you and practice posts we were going to miss. It's a nice appetizer while waiting for the return of the sport.

PG: As long as the confinement is maintained, we will try to print one page per day. We are not going to lie: we have a lot of stock and files on many players… We are going to tackle everyone, and we are obviously on the tone of humor so we hope that nobody take it badly and everyone will have fun with our nonsense. But we are very happy that the first ones please. It's also adorable on your part to make us this little ITW but don't worry, we're not going to steal your job 😝

TP: Pierre has summed up everything, the objective is to be able to write a column a day and why not at the end of confinement make a newspaper a week with the news, anecdotes, some funny interviews… We don't set any limits (laughs).

PG: Day by day (laughs). For now, we have about thirty articles that are ready… We are lucky to have a little time to think about it at the moment so the next editions are likely to sting again… We will try to do a special every Saturdays (we already have ideas for next Saturday). We set up an editorial office, we have a daily “call” that must be 3 min during which we throw as much bullshit as smash in the window, so for those who know us, they know it is leaking!

TP: You know on “the padel for dummies ”the key word is disorganization… Nothing is planned, not much researched but the ideas come and we publish them… We try to be funny without ever being heavy (I must also not poorly contain Pierrot at this level haha). We also try to change targets regularly so that everyone can have a good time otherwise it's not funny.

PG: If you only knew… For now, we have a few players that you know who are giving us leads and tips on certain personalities of the padel... And these "scales" are very funny so we are going to use some jokes they gave us 😝 The "newspaper" has only three days so for the moment, we do not receive any complaints but I suspect that at one point, one of our jokes will not make people laugh and we will take a "scud" but you tell us know, it never stopped us, on the contrary!

TQ: I have some players who throw me a lot of info and files especially on tournaments where we can not be present due to lack of time or level simply. We look at all the complaints carefully to try to be even more spicy behind, it is super important to listen to its audience and to make fun even more of those who take things badly, personally I love it! (Laughs)

PG: Out of the norm… Out of the category, you mean! And in a lot of areas: money, food, relationships, melon, etc. Obviously we can't swing everything because it would rhyme with divorces, layoffs, and other bullshit 😝 But it is sure that the padel is full of talent and potential and in my opinion, when the recovery will take place by the end of November, we will have to be careful because there is a risk of this coming from all sides and we will fall on pearls again! We just don't want to take the lead, wait all together for this bad moment to pass and we will all be happy (or almost) to see each other again, to go have a beer with our friends and to take the same jerk off by the same people than before!
