Salty Pickles – A Pickleball Podcast

19. THE MEN'S SIDE OF THE NET: DAD JOKES, EGO & PICKLEBALL

Two Salty Pickles + Two Men = Mixed Talk, Dad Jokes Included Big thanks to The Picklr in Centereach, NY for hosting us on court and making this episode happen. And shoutout to Kyle Watts and Rob Sarraga for joining us on the courts then jumping on the pod with us to defend ALL men on the pickleball courts. We put our guests on the spot with questions straight from our Instagram followers, like how they’d feel getting unsolicited advice from women on the court and whether they think men need to take the lead in mixed doubles just because they’re guys. Honest takes, a little heat, and plenty of laughs.

17. DUPED BY DUPR

Got 15 minutes? Tune in to Episode 17 of Salty Pickles where Dieu and Alexis dive into the DUPR reset and the numbers that have everyone in their heads. Ever notice how games suddenly feel way more intense when DUPR is on the line? Like every rally matters just a little more… and somehow those 0.3 points feel like everything? We’re breaking down our thoughts and how this could possibly be one of the most well-thought out marketing schemes ever. Listen now and don’t let the numbers control your game 🏓 #saltypicklespod #dupedbydupr #podcastepisodedrop

16. ORGANIZED CHAOS: TOURNAMENT EDITION

This episode, we’re talking tournaments… and we’ve got a lot to say. After playing in what honestly feels like a ridiculous amount of tournaments, we’ve experienced the best, the worst, and everything in between. Now that we’re hosting our own, we’re taking everything we’ve learned and putting it into action. We get into what actually makes a tournament run well, the small details that make a big difference, and the mistakes that can throw everything off. Plus, we share some behind-the-scenes insight into what it’s really like trying to run a smooth event while keeping players happy. Whether you’re a player, a host, or just curious about how it all works, this one gives you a real perspective.

15. ALL IS RIGHT UNTIL A LEFTY SHOWS UP

In this episode of Salty Pickles, we investigate a serious problem: lefties. From awkward angles to moves that make zero sense to our right-handed brains, playing against lefties is pure chaos. We share salty stories, dramatic complaints, and fully reasonable excuses for every loss. We share funny stories, salty moments, and try to figure out if it’s skill, strategy, or just lefty magic. If you’ve ever blamed a loss on someone being left-handed, this one’s for you. 🥒 Is it skill? Is it strategy? Or are they just built different? Either way… we’re blaming the left hand. 🥒

14. WHAT'S IN YOUR BAG?

In this episode of Salty Pickles, we’re unzipping our pickleball bags and showing you exactly what we carry 🎒🥒 We’ve got the essentials, paddles, grips, towels, water, snacks 🏓💦🍌 and then the extras we probably don’t need 🙃 Alexis reveals the dirty tissues hiding in her bag 🤧🧻, and Dieu somehow carries four different hats at all times 🧢🎩👒🧢 It’s a simple bag check with a little chaos mixed in 😂🔥 Unzip it. Dump it out. Let’s see what’s really in there. 👀🎒🥒 Yes, we went a little emoji crazy with this one.
