Pickleball, Therapy & Gen Z Slang Battles | Michelle w/The Dink Shrink
Manage episode 487981301 series 3652125
What do Gen Z slang, paddle throwing, and OnlyFans all have in common? Apparently, this episode.
We kick things off with a generational slang trivia battle—Boomers to Gen Alpha—where words like “mid,” “skibidi,” and “gag me with a spoon” cause complete chaos. ("Wait… yacht means big booty now?!")
Then we’re joined by Michelle, aka The Dink Shrink—a 5.0 pickleball player and licensed therapist—who breaks down what your court rage really says about you, how to survive “divorce alley,” and why pickleball might just be the best therapy on the planet.
🔥 In this episode:
- The OnlyFans pickleball reality show that has us nervously laughing
- Mental health and pickleball: how they intersect
- Relationship red flags spotted on the court
- MLP jerseys, face paint, and full sports cosplay—dink or destroy?
Whether you're a rec play regular or just here for the therapy tea, this is one episode you don’t want to miss.
