Porch Naps & Popcorn Secrets | Jonathan "The Glove" Beasley | Big Dink Energy Podcast

What do porch naps, expired toilet paper, paddle stacking drama, and popcorn hacks have in common? Somehow…pickleball. In this episode, we dig into on-court etiquette, community quirks, accidental naps, and whether leaving voicemails is a generational curse.

Then we hit the courts with Jon “The Glove” Beasley from Chesapeake, Maryland, who shares how pickleball is exploding across YMCA locations and what it’s like to get married mid-tournament.

Fun, feisty, and full of dinks—this episode is all about the culture, chaos, and connection pickleball brings.

Speaker 4 (00:00.364)
Listen, I'm the protector of this house. Was the dog awake and paying attention?

Yes.

weren't protecting much if I- The dog was out front taking a nap with you.

This is Big Dink Energy, the pickleball podcast that's half insight, half nonsense, and all entertainment. If you love pickleball, don't take yourself too seriously and think a little trash talk makes the game better. Welcome home. This is the place where life and pickleball intersect. We celebrate the chaos, call out the nonsense, and put the fun back in dysfunction. You're either in or you're out. And if you're still listening, you're in. So let's go.

Big Dink Energy starts now. Welcome back to the official podcast of Pickleball. And gosh, I'm really excited that we're here tonight. We're gonna be doing some kitchen talk. And kitchen talk, if you all have not been listening, why, number one. But number two, that's just like us sitting around a counter talking and we invite you in with that. So go to bigdinkenergy.com and jump into the conversation. Paddle Princess, I know you had something you wanted to bring up.

Speaker 3 (01:00.238)
I do. So I wanted to talk about when

I was not in on this, so I'm just going to say that up front.

Well, you're like the star of the story. So I would like to talk about accidental naps.

Axis sna- nope. No, I was gonna try the- Extra sna- Extra snacks are good, but I was gonna say ax- an apple. It doesn't work. Never mind. Okay.

Next.

Speaker 4 (01:22.51)
Okay, that's why we're mediocre.

So when I first started thinking about it, it was those times where you just like lay down to take a quick like 30 minute nap and you wake up six hours later and you're like, my God, like it's dark outside and you have no idea what's going on, what day it is, anything along those lines. But then it brought back a fun story of gun

Here we go, folks. Buckle up.

Yeah, so paddle princess is coming over to our house for our thirsty Thursday and she shows up and nobody's here and I'm calling guy. Okay, and so you asked her like, have you seen guy and she's like, no, he was here and I'm calling him and.

cleaning lady was here.

Speaker 4 (02:03.726)
She's walking all over the house.

Stephanie's telling me search the garage is his bike in the garage. Maybe he went for a ride on his bike. We cannot

Yes. Not pedicycle. Right.

Absolutely.

See it now. And so we're looking all over, all over. Then the cleaning lady calls me and she says, I found your husband, like silver alert.

Speaker 3 (02:23.586)
Because she went outside and Zeke was out there by himself.

That's our dog.

Yeah, and you had fallen asleep on the front porch.

Well, okay, so in my defense, there's a couple things going on here. Number one, the cleaning lady's here, so I'm not gonna be in the house getting in her way, number one. Number two, it's like 78 degrees outside and it's sunny and it's nice. It's just that ambient temperature.

You went out there with a cigar. Yes. And you were just relaxing and you accidentally took a nap.

Speaker 4 (02:55.981)
Listen.

I pulled up into your house, like into the driveway. opened and closed your garage door. I went through your back door. came in, I made myself a there you are passed out on the...

We were ready to call. We were ready to call. thought you

Seriously freaked out about where you could be

Turns out you were just sleeping.

Speaker 4 (03:18.67)
Listen, naps are my halftime. This is where I get my second wind. Yeah, I had a great cigar. I was sitting out there, probably a little bit of scotch, and the temperature was just right. And so I leaned back in the chair a little bit. closed my eyes on purpose.

The rest is history.

don't think so because people were coming up. I don't know. feel like I've had an accidental nap before, but I just wake up like emotionally unprepared. This is strategy, right? Like you just wake up and you're just like, what? Thursday or so like if you took Nyquil as a kid, three days long.

I don't have narcolepsy.

Speaker 3 (03:50.829)
is happening.

Speaker 4 (03:55.534)
So I mean, I do, and listen, I do take a nap. I take a nap once a day. I try to, and you know, a 30 minute nap. And I'm on time for my 30 minute. Like I'm not doing, like you said, with the six hour. I'm not just laying down and playing Russian roulette with it. I'm getting up at 30 minutes. A lot of times it's 23 to 24 minutes that I get up. And so, I mean, that's heart health. That's just health in general. So I didn't get my nap that day. So I took it later in the day. I mean, that's just.

That's strategy. Listen, I'm the protector of this house.

You weren't protecting much if I came in and like, I literally made myself a drink in your kitchen.

Is the dog awake and paying attention?

was out front taking a nap with you and woke up when the cleaning lady took the trash out and she was like, Zeke's here.

Speaker 4 (04:39.97)
This is my third shot drop. I'm waking up fresher. I'm ready to go. Let's go play some pick up. You know what I mean? I'm dinking circles around people with my nap. This is my superpower.

So have you ever taken an accidental nap?

several times.

It's not even accidental. You're like, I'm going to lay down.

Yeah, but then when you wake up hours later, you're like, my gosh, did I just time travel?

Speaker 4 (05:02.124)
Now the one thing I do that's close, it's snack-sidental, where I will have too many chips. I snack-sidentally ate all that. did not mean, I wanted a couple, but geez, they're so tasty.

Then you ate the whole bag and now you have to take a nap.

Yes. So chime in if fellas, especially if you've taken what they're calling an accidental nap. It was a nap on purpose is what I'm calling it. And it's all about health. Listen, if you take a 30 minute nap a day, it's you have a 60 % less chance of heart disease. So get your naps in fellas.

This is not medical advice.

Just

Speaker 2 (05:37.582)
you

Just a tip, quick pickleball wisdom in and out before you.

So this tip is stay out of the kitchen. You can't volley the ball while standing in the non-volley zone. If you step in there when the ball bounces, you want to get out of the kitchen as soon as possible. Along that line, if you are volleying and you hit it and you step into the kitchen, it's still considered a fault.

Just a tip.

Speaker 4 (06:14.574)
That's right, either we dink it, we pass it over the net, or we destroy it. It's not for us, thumbs down. Paddle Princess, bring it.

have something I want to talk about. All right, it is 2025. How do we feel about leaving voicemails?

Okay, so we got a couple generations in here just for you all to know.

voicemail.

Speaker 2 (06:34.752)
I feel like if you're leaving me a voicemail, am 100 % reading the transcription. Actually, I'll look at the transcription and I probably won't read it. That's how I feel about that.

You know, when you come up to it though, it's like a, it's not a surprise, but what do you do? You're at the crossroads now. They didn't pick up and the voicemail goes off. Do you hang up right away? Yes. Why?

When I see a voicemail like notification on my phone, I'm angry at that person.

I get it. mean, whatever I'm gonna leave in my seven to 10 seconds is not gonna be as cool as my text for sure, because I can use emojis and stuff like that.

I have so many voicemails on my phone right now. Like, if I want to hear an awkward voicemail, I'll go back to middle school.

Speaker 4 (07:16.91)
Yeah, I mean, I guess is it caveman times if you're leaving a voice?

Yeah, it's like somebody now like it was somebody like in the 2000s saying they'll do a

the 2000s. So far away. Yeah, but my generation, I mean, we leave voicemails. We get voicemails, we leave voicemails, for sure. Like, if I'm calling Jim, I'm going to leave him a voicemail, let him know what's up. And that way he's prepping for what he's going to respond. Sure, I can do that, for sure. But I mean, voicemail is like more personal. Like, I like you if I'm leaving you a voicemail.

in a bag.

Speaker 2 (07:41.323)
Tim.

Speaker 3 (07:47.118)
I think the only people who leave me voicemails are like the doctors off it Somebody like somebody who's like calling like I signed up for information on something and so they're like calling to sell me a car I have like five of those a day But then there's people like my father who will call and go, you know, hey Steph. This is your dad The time is 1 32 on Saturday afternoon. I'm calling to tell you what I'm like dad. I have caller ID

Yeah, doctors and collectors.

Speaker 2 (08:16.214)
I know what time it is, I know who you are. Yeah, he does. It's like, hey, it's your dad. But I try to always answer when my parents call. I think that's very important.

Your dad does that too. It's me, your dad. I know.

Speaker 3 (08:26.942)
I think so too. think if my dad's calling me then there's something important happening.

that he couldn't text.

But here's something along these lines, and I know we haven't Dinka destroyed yet, but this is something that I started asking people to do, like my family, is to text me and say, hey, is it a good time to call? Yes. Because I feel like we would, like, they would call me and I would always be like, getting in the car, getting out of the car, trying to get the kids, trying to make dinner, trying to do this. And it's like, you're like, yes, what? And you're not agitated. It's just not a good time. Right. So when my family started

doing that, I would be like, no, not now is not a good time. I'll call you in five minutes. Then I was prepared to, answer questions. And it has worked wonders.

conversation.

Speaker 3 (09:13.634)
I do that a lot, especially with friends. Like if I need to call or talk about something, I'll be like, hey, can you talk? You know, is now a good time or do you want to talk tomorrow? know, whatever's going on.

But as far anyways back to voice messages. I'm a destroy I'm not I'm not gonna I'm not gonna listen to it I'm not gonna read it. I probably don't even know who you are

I'm kind of in the middle because sometimes I will leave a voicemail. If I know somebody's going through something and they weren't able to answer the phone, I'll just leave them a sweet little voicemail like, hey, I was just calling to say I love you and I hope that you're having a good day. If you need anything, give me a call. If it's not an emergency or anything like that. If you don't have the opportunity, I completely understand, just wanted you to know that I'm thinking about you.

Like a voice text. Do you guys do voice text? I would do voice text. Oh, text. Oh. to text. Either that or the actual voice chat.

Your Talk to Tex.

Speaker 4 (10:05.976)
Yeah, yeah, you can send a I awkward doing that. Yeah, well, if you screw up, mean...

Well, and then I don't know. don't you have to play it out loud on speaker like you can't put it up to your ear? So then like everyone around you listening to that.

Yeah

Speaker 2 (10:18.338)
I don't know, I always leave them but I don't get them. So, I don't know.

I always feel weird, maybe I don't want everybody around me hearing that s-

I'm a dink on it. I'm still old school enough where if I need something from you, I'm gonna let you know ahead of time. are. Yes, thank you. I take naps on the porch too, apparently. Yeah, you do. I'm gonna let you know. I'm gonna tell you ahead of time, this is what I called about, and this is what I need from you when you call me back. I'm leaving a message. I'm dink. All right, let us know in the comment section, bdepodcast.com. You can leave us a voicemail over there as well. Let us know what you think. Do you leave voicemails? Do you not like voicemails?

Speaker 4 (11:53.774)
All right, welcome to this section of the podcast, which is our players and our spaces around the nation that have pickleball. And my gosh, today, I've got a big one for you. We're talking with John from the Glove Pickleball and Chesapeake, Maryland. John, thanks for taking the time for us. Let's get into it. So how'd you get into pickleball?

funny, the funny part of the story is we were just going to the Y working out every day and there were people coming out of the facility all with their gear and they're like, Oh, you should come out and play, come out and play. And I was like, I don't think and we did it one time. And just like every cliche, I was online buying paddles, buying bags, taking clinic. Like I was like, it became.

a huge part of my entire personality, much to my children's chagrin.

Sure. Yeah. I played one time. I'm like, I'm an athlete now. So I need all that athletic gear. Of course.

You know, as the pickleball director at the Y, I have nine branches and I travel all around the Eastern Shore Maryland. And I really truly believe that it taps into a part of an adult's brain psyche that they like where they dreamed when they were a kid, you know, like when you dreamed about being a professional athlete or you dreamed about being on stage or you dreamed about just being something bigger.

Speaker 1 (13:24.478)
It seems to be that that is tapping into for people that I meet every day. It just gives them a sense of like, I don't want to belittle it because I call myself the glove.

Right, right.

It's like, it gives you a little bit of fun, you know, it's like you can have a completely different outlet in and unto and above just the actual playing of the sport. Yeah.

So let's get some of the cool stuff out of the way too. Tell me about the YMCAs. Tell me about how that started there, your involvement with it. Just give us the backstory there on that too.

So I was in food service for 30 years and everything from being a bus boy at a restaurant to being a GM of a restaurant and everything from private clubs to franchises. my wife worked for the Y or works for the Y and she told me when they were coming up with this position of pickleball director that I should apply. And I was like, you know, I don't know, maybe, but it's definitely not something I've ever done. So.

Speaker 1 (14:31.69)
I gave it a shot and basically, my home branch is in Easton, Maryland, but I go to Salisbury, Cecil County, Cambridge, Centerville, all the local WISEs. And I basically do clinics, I do ladder leagues, organize tournaments or help organize tournaments, play in tournaments. And it just has been a very fun, fulfilling new chapter for me in my life.

Why?

what people may not know about you. And I found out through my research and I mean, how can I not talk about this, buddy? You got married on a pickleball court. So I got to, was that your idea or your wife just loved you enough to go along with it?

No, no, was actually, it might've been her idea. It certainly wasn't anything either of us had to be talked into. It was our second marriage each, so we went sort of a different route. No big wedding, no big party. were organizing a tournament at this Y, and it just like, let's do it, let's try it. And it was great. They showered us with pickle balls instead of a glass at the end.

And then we went on to play that day and get totally rolled over, but it was fine because, you know, it was, it was still fun. We had a great day.

Speaker 4 (15:49.538)
Man, that's awesome. That's one for the history books there. And yeah, you know, when you bond over something like that, especially some athleticism, some sports like that, I think that's just a recipe for a long and healthy marriage for sure. So, you know, where in the Maryland area, you're very adjacent to a very important part of our country. So, you know, we always ask the courts, are you seeing some characters on the courts? But I would imagine,

soon.

Speaker 4 (16:18.134)
without people knowing about it, you've got some real spooky spies probably that show up on your courts too, right?

You know, it's, it, happens for sure. It happens for sure. I think, you know, the best part about being in this area is that, it's a short hop, skipping a jump over the Bay bridge into Annapolis, Baltimore and DC. we can check out the DC pickleball team and their home facility at DTL in DC. we can go to the put away, we can go to pickle rage.

And there's nothing like that on Eastern shore yet. There's no franchise privately owned clubs. They did just open a big lifetime facility in Annapolis. So that's all well within our ability to go to over on our side though. It's very much the ground or ground level roots level, you know, open play three O's to four O's just coming out every single day or why and playing at our

Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:22.478)
We have 10 courts that are practically brand new and probably 80 players on an average on the weekends and on days when everybody should be working. We still have 50 out there. it's, it's, it's a blast.

Yeah. And so, you know, that is one of the things about pickleball. It brings all walks of life together. Absolutely love it. And I can only imagine that is only amplified by the YMCA being who they are in their communities, that it's just bringing so many different people together. And then you combine pickleball with it. I mean, it's just a natural recipe for amazing things.

Yeah, you know, we, I think basketball will always be the official sport of the YMCA. that being said, the reason they hired me was there's such a giant influx of membership based around pickleball and people just want a place to play. And there are of course popping up public courts in the area, but they're nothing compared to what we have. So it's worked out really well.

Now, did I see a number like 3,000, you have 3,000 players across all the YMCAs, is that? Yeah. Wow.

We have probably about 2500. Every Y in my group is different.

Speaker 4 (18:44.568)
So, okay, let's get to something the audience wants to know as well. What's the weirdest, funniest, or most bizarre thing you've seen on any of the courts? So, Either costume-wise or what?

So I played in the Mideast Regional Tournament in Philly last year, and we're actually hosting that same tournament here in Easton this year. There were about 325 participants, and I don't know the man's name, but there was a man that came out in a full three-piece suit and wingtips and was playing in the tournament in that suit.

And everybody said he goes to all these tournaments. Everybody knows of it. I could not tell you his name. He was very nice, but I was like, how can you play an entire tournament? And that's so he never took off the jacket. He didn't sweat through it. I don't know what it was made out of, but it was amazing.

Dang, that's all right. I love that. That is a boss move right there. I I don't care what level you are. When you see that on the other side of the net, you're thinking, okay, this guy's got some skill.

And that's what I get back to like what I said at the beginning where everyone's got their own personality they bring to it. I was christened the glove in my morning ladder league a few years ago because I was the only one out there that wore like a racquetball glove. And it just stuck. And that's just where everybody started.

Speaker 4 (20:03.051)
So is it just one glove? Just one glove. Can you sequin it out and maybe do a Michael Jackson leather with that at some point? Absolutely.

I will do it just for you.

Awesome. Yeah. Yeah. Send us a video of that if you're going to do that. Maybe around Halloween so it doesn't look so weird,

I don't know, people probably be like, yeah, that's John, it's fine.

Yeah, right. So someone's listening to this and they haven't picked up a paddle. What's the one thing you'd say to convince them to try it?

Speaker 1 (20:32.982)
man, I do this all the time with my friends. can tell you what I wouldn't tell them. wouldn't tell them how much money they'll spend on gear once they become addicted. Right. But I just tell them that it's mean it's everything for me. Like the sound of the ball popping, the satisfaction in that when you hit your first ATP, when you hit your first terrible earning. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It just man, but it's it's the best feeling. Yeah. But I will say that I've made so many new friends. It's been a great

Yeah.

Speaker 4 (20:54.08)
That's an ankle breaker.

Speaker 1 (21:02.52)
feeling of community, people I would never have met before. And then I just try to steer them in the right direction for a battle.

Yeah, goodbye disposable income, but hello to a good community. All right, now the glove here. If you had some walk-on music that was played when you walked onto the court, what would that be?

Absolutely.

Speaker 1 (21:20.184)
So I do have a playlist before tournaments that I listen to, but I would probably pick, you're the best from Karate Kid. I don't remember who sings it. But like that original Karate Kid, the big montage scene at the end.

You're the best. Yeah. Yeah. Love it. I love it. Okay. How do people get to you? How do they find you? How do they connect to you? Yeah.

If you're in the area and you ever want to come by the YMCA at the Chesapeake, you know, my email is jbeasley.org. And please drop me a line. I would be glad to bring you in, show you the facility, play a couple games with you, introduce you to a lot of great people. And like I said, if you live in this area and we haven't met yet, come see me because I'd love to get in touch and...

and bring some more people into the fold.

Yeah, and what are the locations they can find a game at?

Speaker 1 (22:16.664)
So we've got Easton, Maryland. We've got Centerville, Maryland. We've got Chestertown, Maryland and Salisbury, Maryland that all have outdoor courts or indoor courts that you can access. I have a few other branches that are super small, but those are the four I would start with.

Okay, and one last thing, if I'm coming to play with you, we're done, you've whooped my butt with your glove on, where are we going to eat? What is the food I gotta try when I come there?

Man, I tell you, the company I worked for before I took this job is called Rude Food Company. And they've got three restaurants just in East in their local group. They've got La Bodega, which is Mexican food. They've got Rude Burger and Rude Barbecue. All three are amazing. That's what I would try.

I thought you were gonna go crab cakes all the way.

You know, when you live here, it's like, the crab cakes are great.

Speaker 4 (23:13.346)
Yeah, yeah. They're like macaroni and cheese for you, right?

So I did want to before you let me go though, can I give you my embarrassing moment? Okay. So last year we went to the PPA in Atlanta, me and my men's doubles partner, shout out to GC. And we went down there and he had won tickets to Tyson McGuffin's awesome clinic. It's like two days, six hours a day and very intense. Like my quads were killing me. Cause he's got you squatting all the time.

I wish you would.

Speaker 1 (23:46.67)
But anyway, we're running the clinic and he's walking around and he's got other instructors, but he's walking around doing his thing and he finally gets to me and I'm just like, oh, it's Tyson Mcguffin's right here. I gotta do something cool. And all I could manage was a giant overhead directly into the net.

Nice. That's the kind of big dink energy we love. That's absolutely it right there.

My proudest moment was going to MLP in DC last year and my wife and I bought, you know, like the tickets for under the tent just to get out of the sun because the sun was killing. And when I got in there, I'm milling around and I met like Tina Piznik and I met Alex Trunk and then somebody from across the tents like, the globe. I turn around and it's like, it's like the main media guy for DC pickleball. And he recognized me because I always repost their stuff.

So that was when I realized, hey, this social media stuff actually is really cool and it can be super positive. I know it has some drawbacks too, but I got to meet him and talk to a lot of really cool people.

You made it. You're under the tent and people recognize you. That's it, buddy. That's it. John, it's been an absolute pleasure spending some time with you. When I come out that way, we're definitely going to hook up. We're definitely not going to have crab cakes. We're going to go somewhere else. You can have it. No, no, not my thing. Wherever you want to take me, though, I'm good. And we're going to play a game. I'll let you beat me right away and then we'll go have some drinks and have some fun. Thanks for being on here. I really appreciate it. Have an awesome day.

Speaker 1 (24:56.149)
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:07.352)
Crab cakes.

Speaker 1 (25:19.918)
Thank you, you have a good one as well.

you

Speaker 2 (25:26.062)
you can use.

Speaker 4 (25:30.488)
Last step, had something when we were talking about this, news you can use.

Yeah, I thought this was really interesting. So the average pickleball point lasts five to seven seconds. What? Like the rally. Really? Yeah, that's the average five to seven seconds. So I have realized now that because I talk and laugh and joke so much, that's why my games take forever.

Five to seven is a good number, right? Seconds, seconds, yes, five to seven, that's a good average. Okay.

Five to seven seconds.

Speaker 2 (26:00.255)
Yeah, I think so.

My games just take 30 minutes because I'm horrible.

agreed. You're definitely horrible. but we all are. We're just semi-pro mediocre pickleball.

Speak for yourself. did do a tournament and I won. One to eleven. So, step did it. Step off.

Did lose.

Speaker 3 (26:20.696)
proud of you for doing that.

I'm sorry tournament queen.

Yeah, now when we were playing that tournament, they lasted about .5 to one seconds. Yeah. Because it was just, serve and I'm out. Serve and I'm out.

yeah even as you're playing against one

They did win. Celebrate and switch for us. I could tell you that right now.

Speaker 4 (26:33.708)
