Pickleball noise complaints? HOA drama? Some people just wake up looking for things to be mad about. We’re diving into the so-called “pickleball noise wars” and why some folks think a plastic ball is ruining their peace (spoiler: it’s not).

Then, we sit down with James from Side Out Coffee, the first-ever pickleball coffee brand, to talk about the intersection of caffeine, competition, and community. From World of Warcraft pro to pickleball entrepreneur, James shares his wild journey and what’s next for Side Out.

PLUS:
 🔥 Dink or Destroy – Are joint Facebook accounts a red flag?
🏓 Found, Learned, Heard – The $1.25 Dollar Tree pickleball set, pickleball as an endurance sport, and a new chaotic way to play.

🎧 Grab your paddle, sip some coffee, and let’s get dinking!
