Is pickleball already old news? On What’s Trending, Hongbin Jeong and Nadiah Koh look at whether TYPTI — a new racquet sport dubbed the “snowboarding of the racquet world” — could be the next big hype. Backed by celebrities and pro athletes, TYPTI promises longer rallies, more spin, less noise, and a fresh alternative for players who find pickleball too simple or too loud. 

They also dive into the world of Lego. First, the hype: Lego Crocs are here — yes, real, yes, $300 — combining childhood nostalgia with fashion-forward clogs. But it’s not all glitz. They also share the inspiring story of an 85-year-old grandmother from China who discovered Lego for the first time while recovering from a hand injury in Canada. Brick by brick, she built massive sets like Hogwarts Castle, proving that play can be transformative at any age.
