Executive producer Mark Infante and pro pickleball star Anna Bright join Kate to talk about PARTNERS, the six-part Prime Video documentary series following the meteoric rise of the Professional Pickleball Association (PPA), the league that, in less than five years, has gone from scrappy upstart to the center of an international phenomenon. Anna Bright is a former Division I tennis standout at UC Berkeley turned top-ranked PPA and MLP pro, known for her aggressive style, lethal two-handed backhand, and high-profile partnership with world No. 1 Anna Leigh Waters. She gives a rare inside look at life on tour: how the sport actually works, what sets it apart, the wild financial transformation of pro pickleball, and the rivalries and romances that make the league must-watch TV.

Your staging environment just saved you tens of millions of dollars in half an hour. Your MVP shipped on time but isn't actually viable anymore. Your team is surprised by their performance review. If any of these sound familiar, Nakul Goyal has thoughts. Nick and Chuck are bringing back one of their favorite episodes featuring Nakul Goyal, now Chief Marketing Officer at Carfax.Join hosts Chuck Moxley and Nick Paladino as we revisit Nakul's counterintuitive take on friction: the goal shouldn't be zero friction, but rather the right friction in the right places. For high-stakes, low-frequency purchases like cars, removing trust signals like reviews, security badges, and testimonials actually kills conversion. Nakul shares the staging environment story from a previous employer where stakeholders thought he was crazy for requesting a million dollar investment to preview taxonomy changes before production until they found catastrophic issues in 30 minutes that would have cost tens of millions. He breaks down his four prong framework for building high-performing teams: hiring people with the right DNA, setting clear goals with constant visibility, building rituals around outcomes not outputs, and practicing radical candor. We explore Carfax's evolution from one-trick-pony accident reports to a lifecycle product with the Car Care app that notifies you about needed repairs, registration deadlines, and real-time car value estimates. Nakul doesn't just talk ROI, he bleeds it. He calculates team time as money. And he flips the script on MVPs: teams under deadline pressure strip scope until products are no longer viable, shipping broken experiences that become permanent because priorities shift. Key Actionable Takeaways:Add the right friction to build confidence in high-stakes transactions - For infrequent purchases, consumers need trust signals like reviews, security badges, testimonials, and clear payment confirmation wording even if it adds steps; speed without confidence kills conversionMeasure outcomes not outputs and shift from MVP to MLP - Teams incentivized to hit dates will strip scope until products aren't viable; delay launch if needed to ship a Minimum Lovable Product rather than leaving broken experiences that never get fixedBuild performance transparency into team rituals - Implement monthly reviews (15-20 minutes), RAG dashboards (red/amber/green visible from 10 feet away), and clear accountability so annual reviews are summaries not surprises; if employees are shocked, leadership has failedWant more tips and strategies about creating frictionless digital experiences?

Episode 176 centers on a week where real-life disruption and storyline momentum collided across the wrestling landscape. We start with TNA Sacrifice 2026, where the main event between Mike Santana and Steve Maclin was stopped early due to a legitimate injury, immediately destabilizing the world title picture heading into Rebellion. Eddie Edwards' involvement shifted the finish into an angle, but the bigger story is the uncertainty now at the top of the card. Elsewhere on the show, Leon Slater retained the X-Division Championship in a decisive performance, while Mustafa Ali and Tasha Steelz vs. Trey Miguel and Jada Stone stood out despite interference shaping the result. Across the board, strong in-ring work was consistently influenced by outside factors rather than clean resolution. TNA also introduced 21-year-old Ricky Sosa, a high-upside international prospect, in a segment grounded by Chris Bey's real-life recovery story. We then shift to Global Wars, where ROH and Maple Leaf Pro delivered meaningful crossover momentum. The Good Brothers became inaugural MLP Tag Team Champions, followed by Bishop Dyer turning on Kaito Kiyomiya, while the promotion also announced a new weekly TV deal launching in July. That momentum takes a hit with Josh Alexander confirming a severe knee injury and upcoming surgery, leaving no timetable for return and forcing adjustments across AEW, TNA, and MLP. We also break down Kyle Fletcher's comments about AEW All In stirring internal reaction, highlighting the balance between personal frustration and locker room perspective when injuries impact major moments. On the business side, ESPN has moved to intervene in the WWE PLE lawsuit, aiming to push the case into arbitration, while WrestleMania 42 ticket sales show a more aggressive discount-driven approach despite strong projected attendance. Plus, Sami Zayn forces his way onto the WrestleMania card by winning the United States Championship and setting up a defense against Trick Williams, Chris Jericho files a new "Cornerstone" trademark, Toni Storm's absence shifts into a mystery angle, and NJPW begins rolling out the Best of the Super Juniors field.

PicklePod 2.0 is presented by Marek Health. Use our code THEDINK for 10% off your $299 Intake Assessment at https://MarekHealth.com/ The MLP draft just BROKE the internet… and we're unpacking all of it. From Anna Bright going for over $1 million to the Dallas Flash meltdown, this Major League Pickleball offseason might be more entertaining than the actual matches. We break down the bidding wars, the strategy behind youth vs. win-now rosters, whether Jack Sock is still a “fool me three times” situation, and why MLP might desperately need a salary cap (and floor). Then things get unhinged. James Ignatowich returns to the pod to talk about: - His UPA contract termination - Building RPM from scratch - Selling 10,000 paddles in a month - Why he's moving to China - Getting blocked by the PPA - Whether he's ever playing pro again - And yes… the Johnson siblings rumors We also dive into: - The new post-match cheating fines system - Why more transparency could grow the game - Whether one superstar pro is worth the ROI for a paddle brand - And the wild reality of manufacturing in China - This one is chaotic, honest, and surprisingly insightful.

Use our code THEDINK for 10% off your $299 Intake Assessment at https://MarekHealth.com/ The PicklePod is back on The Dink Pickleball YouTube channel with one of our most wide-ranging episodes yet. This week we cover: MLP Trade Deadline Fallout Ana Bright. Georgia Johnson. Jack Sock. Major names dropped ahead of the deadline. We break down which teams won, which teams fumbled the bag, and whether Major League Pickleball just reshaped the power structure for 2026. Pickleball and the Olympics Are we overhyping the Olympic dream? Would 2032 in Australia change everything for the sport — or is the pro tour already the real prize? We debate what Olympic inclusion would actually mean for player development and global growth. Does Pickleball Need an All-Star Weekend? If the NBA can reinvent its format, why can't we? From Ernie contests to reset challenges and paddle toss competitions, we design what a true pickleball skills showcase could look like. Grayson Goldin Update We react to the news of Grayson's stroke, discuss player health coverage in pro pickleball, and send our support as he works toward a full recovery. The Dink Awards Finale We wrap up the 2025 Dink Awards with: - Best Facilities across the country - Best International Tournament - Paddle Reviewer of the Year - Paddle of the Year And yes, things get a little spicy during the paddle reviewer segment. We also sit down with APP Chief Marketing Officer Tom Webb for a direct conversation about the future of the APP, the evolving pro landscape, and where the sport is headed long term.

After being guided by her doctor to take the pill for twenty years to manage painful periods, breathwork practitioner Harriette Wight was still dealing with challenging bleeds and decided to try something different. She was guided by a friend to try seed cycling, then learned how to track her menstrual cycle and then - via her Yoga teacher - she discovered breathwork. The combination of breathwork and cycle awareness changed everything for her. Breathwork, as Harriette defines it, is the practice of using the breath to consciously change how we feel physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. And today in our conversation we explore the ancient roots of breathwork and the modern day expression, and why it is such a powerful tool for health and wellbeing, particularly when it's used in combination with menstrual cycle awareness. Harriette is a graduate of Red School's Menstruality Leadership Programme, and through her own intimacy with her cycle, she's created a body of work designed around specific breathwork practices to support each of the inner seasons of the menstrual cycle. In our chat today, she shares her MLP experience including how it changed how she sees herself, how she wants to show up in the world, and how she delivers her work. We explore:How the inhale and exhale correspond to the two movements of energy within the menstrual cycle, which Alexandra and Sjanie have named: the via positiva and the via negativa. Simple breathwork practices to support you to rest when you bleed, manage the rising energy in your inner spring, to help you feel confident in your inner summerA ‘recovery breath' practice to manage premenstrual emotional reactivity.---Receive our free video training: Love Your Cycle, Discover the Power of Menstrual Cycle Awareness to Revolutionise Your Life - www.redschool.net/love---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

Zane and Nico break down everything that went down at the Masters—from heated on-court moments and crowd chirping, to new paddle deals shaking up the pro scene. Blaine shares stories from competing at the highest level, what it's like adjusting to new partnerships, and why high-variance pickleball might be the only way to challenge the top teams. The crew also dives deep into Major League Pickleball's new format, including substitutions, expanded playoffs, and whether singles specialists are about to change the Dreambreaker forever. Plus, Nico relives the painful moment he realized he missed an email that could've made him an MLP GM. Other topics include: - New paddle deals and which switches actually mattered - Whether Ben Johns wins another singles gold - Jack Sock's ceiling in pro pickleball - Anna Leigh Waters' dominance (and who could possibly stop her) - The lob serve debate

The PicklePod closes out the year with a wide-ranging look at the stories that will shape pro pickleball in 2026. This episode breaks down what actually mattered at PPA Daytona, why the Jorja Johnson–Anna Lee Waters discourse has gone off the rails, and how recency bias continues to distort conversations around Anna Bright.

This episode of the Picklepod is absolute chaos—in the best way possible. We break down the UPA contract terminations involving James Ignatowich, Vivian Glozman, Ryan Fu, and Paris Todd, and debate whether the league is enforcing rules fairly or simply protecting exclusivity at all costs. Is this about contracts… or relationships? From there, we hit a packed slate of pickleball news: The Tesla pickleball paddle that sold out instantly and is already reselling for up to $1,000 (and may or may not be lost at a restaurant
This week on the PicklePod, we switch things up — no PPA or MLP action to recap, but a massive week of storylines, debates, and one of our favorite interviews of the year. Zane and Tice debut a brand-new segment: Build-A-Player — where each builds the “perfect” pro pickleball player using only 11 unique skills… but they can't use the same player twice. The results? Chaos, controversy, and an absolutely stacked conversation that you'll want to vote on in the comments. We also break down:

Got a story? I got a subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ReddX... In this episode of r/NeckbeardStories we partake in some brony cringe! Both of our OPs are pretty big into MLP, but they are not doing any favors for the fanbase. I appreciate one of them supporting artists on Tumblr, but I gotta say that the kind of art he's commissioning isn't something that I can sign off on... Luckily, despite the cringe both of these stories turn out to have a happy ending to them. It doesn't matter what your background is, you always need to treat people like people and not use them simply to get off. Neckbeards seem to learn this lesson particularly slow and it really does make my blood boil... So we must bring it to light so others don't suffer alone. For your fill of neckbeard stories we've got you covered with the freshest weeaboo, niceguy, and neckbeard happenings on reddit. Stick with ReddX for your daily dose of cringe with a side-dish of relatability. You might even feel good for dessert...

Some of the top rSlash entitled parents channels I recommend checking out are the original rSlash, Redditor, fresh, r/Bumfries, VoiceyHere, Mr Reddit, Storytime and Darkfluff. These Reddit story channels inspired me to start my own Reddit story channel, with a focus on Entitled Parents stories and at times going into the r/pettyrevenge and r/choosingbeggars subreddit as well. Because most of my audience prefers Entitled Parents stories of Reddit, I tend to just stick with reading the r/EntitleParents Top Posts of All Time.

Zane is back from Asia with wild stories, record-breaking crowds, and gold medals galore. This week on the PicklePod, he sits down with Eric Oncins, who just took back-to-back golds in Malaysia and Vietnam with Tyson McGuffin. They relive the 8,000-fan crowd, the chaos of Southeast Asia, and Eric's unbelievable journey from Brazilian tennis player to pro pickleball star. The guys break down international play, the rise of Asian talent, and that controversial call that rocked the finals. T-Dog rejoins Zane later to unpack what Asia means for pickleball's future — from China's booming scene to Vietnam's meteoric rise — and how international play might reshape the sport.
This week we're celebrating Jocktober by reviewing multiple radio shows. We start with the biggest name in morning radio, Howard Stern. On Tuesday the king of all media had a ridiculous argument with his wife about whether or not he's “fun.” It's pretty obvious that this marriage is on the ropes based on the conversation and the specific words that are being used by Beth. Erik Nagel joins the show along with first-time guest and Howard Stern expert MLP. NYC news station 1010 WINS had a very unfortunate x-rated broadcast earlier this week. Tom Myers is back with his political podcast after taking the entire summer off and his monologue does disappoint. Morning radio staple War of the Roses had a short-lived and ill-advised animated series that iHeart quickly removed from Earth. Opie addresses the purchased views and complains about $2 superchats from “haters.” Jeffrey from the morning duo Brooke and Jeffrey sings a parody song about Cal Raleigh and there isn't a joke to be found. We help the very stable Pulper connect with Erock. Stuttering John might have a new lawsuit on his hands as Anthony Cumia claims John SA'd a woman in Vegas. Finally, we play a round of To Poke A Dabbler, get caught up on Internet News, and listen to recent voicemails.

The PicklePod is back, and this week we've got a jam-packed episode. James Ignatowich (aka Iggy) stops by to reveal how he went from pro pickleball player to paddle engineer with the launch of his new company, RPM. He breaks down the grind of designing paddles, the wild stories behind his prototypes, and what sets RPM apart from the competition. Meanwhile, Zane and T-Dog dive into one of the craziest weeks in pickleball yet: - PaddleGate 2025 – why 15 of 16 pros used different paddles on Championship Sunday. - PPA Cincinnati Slam – shocking results as the Kawamoto twins take down Anna Bright & Anna Leigh Waters. - Cheating drama – Tyson McGuffin vs. Mo Alhouni and the calls that shook the tour. - Sports betting in pickleball – the PPA partners with Kalshi to make wagering on pickleball legal in the U.S. Plus: streakers, celebrity owners, and the latest MLP team shakeups. This episode has it all—gear talk, controversy, and the future of the sport.
Alex Geesbreght is part of the investment group that purchased the majority stake in MLP's LA Mad Drops. Alex opens up about how pickleball became a family passion, what inspired him to buy into MLP, and how his ownership group plans to grow the game. We dive into:
