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 wisdom we find between the lines. So join us! Pour a glass, squeeze a lime, and let’s get under the hood of just how good it feels to rediscover PLAY in our lives.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-17T20:18:39.739177+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dinks-on-tap-the-happy-hour-pickleball-podcast-7127357"},"episode":{"title":"DUPR Reset: The Ratings Rollercoaster, the Reality Check, and Tito Machado’s Take","slug":"dupr-reset-the-ratings-rollercoaster-the-reality-check-and-tito-machado-s-take","published_at":"2026-05-20T08:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dinks-on-tap-the-happy-hour-pickleball-podcast-7127357/dupr-reset-the-ratings-rollercoaster-the-reality-check-and-tito-machado-s-take","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dinks-on-tap-the-happy-hour-pickleball-podcast-7127357","url":"https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pdst.fm/e/pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/GEMINIMEDIA2344709438.mp3","audio_url":"https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pdst.fm/e/pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/GEMINIMEDIA2344709438.mp3","summary":"This spring, DUPR hit pause on your history and asked a simple question: Who are you right now, without all that baggage? Turns out that's a harder question than it sounds. We know because Casie did the Reset, knew it didn't count, watched her number drop, and still had to talk herself off the ledge on the way home. So we brought Tito Machado, CEO of DUPR and the man who's spent years trying to convince the pickleball community that a number is just a number, back to Dinks on Tap for a second time, fresh off a DUPR Reset period that generated more player data than anyone anticipated. We get into what the Reset actually was, what it wasn't, and why so many people signed up hoping it was a cheat code, plus: Why \"DUPR Reset\" was never meant to be a path to a higher pickleball rating, and why everyone heard it that way anyway The myth that playing up is the fastest way to move your number (the algorithm disagrees) How DUPR accidentally became a social gatekeeper, and why Tito says that's their fault Career High, Age Ratings, and DUPR Impact: the new metrics, who loves them, and who's already mad about them Why DUPR forecast might be the perfect gambling tool (Tito's words, not ours) The AI + camera integration coming that could finally account for what everyone knows matters most: chemistry And why, when asked what the Forecast would look like if Tito's team played Casie and Lauren, he bet against himself Pour something cold and press play, this one's for anyone who's ever refreshed their DUPR after a loss and told themselves it doesn't matter.
