🎤 Zumba. Shimmies. Flirting mid-rally?! This week’s Kitchen Talk kicks off with a wild story from the court—when one player turned open play into open season for single men. Spoiler: he was married. And yes, we name names (sort of). 💅
Then we serve up an interview with Ellie Santra, the viral singer-songwriter behind the “Big Dink Energy” pickleball song that’s blowing up Spotify and TikTok. She shares how a casual game turned into a creative explosion, her favorite pickleball moment, and why she’s never apologizing for being cringe and proud. 💖
🔥 Dink or Destroy: Are subtitles ruining your binge-watching or making you smarter?
🗞️ News You Can Use: Why Gen Z is entering their “Villain Era” and how a group of senior citizens just schooled high schoolers (again) in a heated pickleball tournament.
📈 This episode is packed with:
- Pickleball drama you won’t believe
- Viral song origin stories
- Mental health + community talk
- A little chaos and a lot of laughs
