Dinks On Tap: The Happy Hour Pickleball Podcast
by Casie & Lauren
Ever wondered what the big deal is about Pickleball? Welcome to Dinks on Tap, where the pickleball paddle meets the margarita. We’re Casie and Lauren, your pickleball partners in crime, here to spill the beans on why pickleball is more than just a game. It’s that “more” part we’re so drawn to. That “more” part which we highly suspect is about rediscovering PLAY in our lives and bringing FUN into focus. Let’s be clear, we’re not pros. We’re just a couple of recreational players who notice, marvel, and revel in the nuances that make up the juice to this fruit’s fine squeeze. In each episode we’ll look at the life breathing behind, within, underneath and alongside the game... That momentum shift on the court, (“Why am I so ‘off’ today?”), the Fourth Man Struggle (“Seriously, who else can we get to play?”), the camaraderie that turns strangers into friends (“Do you want to exchange numbers?”) and various other dynamics that go beyond the dink to make up the humor, heart, and hard-won wis

How College Football's Wild West is a Warning Every Pickleball Player Should Hear with Jay Paterno
This week, Casie and Lauren sit down with Jay Paterno, son of Penn State coaching legend Joe Paterno, and author of Blitzed: The All-Out Pressure of College Football's New Era. This one is part sports conversation, part cultural temperature check, and we did what we do best: take a sports story and find the human behavior hiding underneath it. Because it turns out that money, pressure, loyalty, ego, and identity do not stay neatly on the football field. They show up everywhere people care deeply about something, including a 20X44 pickleball court with a plastic ball and a surprisingly complicated rulebook. In this episode we talk about: The trick Jay uses to tell the truth (and why it lands better when it comes with a little plausible deniability) The NIL era, and what happens when college football starts operating more like a franchise than a tradition What the pickleball community should probably get in writing before growth outruns the pickleball culture Why the most intense person in any pickleball competition is rarely having the most fun The chaos of a game growing faster than its guardrails and what a pickleball strategy looks like when the rulebook is still being written The women in Jay's book who keep asking the inconvenient questions And the question underneath it all: when something you love becomes valuable to everyone else, does it still feel like yours The pickleball lessons here have nothing to do with your backhand and everything to do with what happens when a sport you love starts growing faster than the values that built it. So whether you're following NIL headlines or just wondering where pickleball goes from here, this episode gives you plenty to chew on. Pour something cold, hit play, and spend some time with the man who knows what happens when a game gets bigger than its guardrails.
