What do porch naps, expired toilet paper, paddle stacking drama, and popcorn hacks have in common? Somehow…pickleball. In this episode, we dig into on-court etiquette, community quirks, accidental naps, and whether leaving voicemails is a generational curse.
Then we hit the courts with Jon “The Glove” Beasley from Chesapeake, Maryland, who shares how pickleball is exploding across YMCA locations and what it’s like to get married mid-tournament.
Fun, feisty, and full of dinks—this episode is all about the culture, chaos, and connection pickleball brings.
