Episode description as stored
Have you ever made it to the front of the paddle line at pickleball open play, only to have your partner dis you because she didn't want to play with "a beginner"?
Yeah, that happened to today's guest, Academy Award winner Mary Steenburgen, one of the celebrities who play pickleball when no one's filming.
After sharing drinks with Mary and her husband, Ted Danson, we knew we had to have her on the pod to talk all things pickleball community, how to keep growing at any age, and the weird "gift" she was given after what was supposed to be a routine surgery (that's the Mary Steenburgen music story).
She's spilling the tea on who got her into the game, how she won her first sports ribbon at 40 by a complete fluke, and how she and Jake Johnson became friends through improv on the set of The Dink movie. We also get into what beginner pickleball is like when strangers expect a movie star to be good, and her take on pickleball for seniors, court shoes included.
We talk about:
How Mary scored most of her team's 6 points alongside the partner who called her "a beginner," back before The Dink Movie came out
The crash course in pickleball open play etiquette she needed first, starting with how the paddle line works
Who got Mary to pick up a paddle, and the support that kept her enthusiasm going
The word Mary makes her 5 grandchildren add to the sentence "I can't do this"
The night of pickleball with the crew of The Dink that Mary will never forget
Why pickleball people are the best, and how the sport spans generations
The "gift" Mary got after a bit of anesthesia, which she didn't see as a gift and which turned into a whole other career
Why aging by accomplishment, over aging by diminishment, is Mary's case for pickleball for older adults
We also serve up Mary's take on why pickleball friends are some of the best friends you'll make. And if you've ever Googled "is pickleball good for seniors," her love letter to the game at the end is your answer.
Pour something cold and press play.Cheers,Casie and LaurenDinks on Tap
