Laughter is the Best Medicine

Episode 47: Devin Armand (TikTok Youth Sports Superstar)

🎙 In this episode: I sit down with Devin Armand—former college softball player and coach turned viral youth sports comedian on TikTok. With a wig, a phone, and a whole lot of sharp wit, Devin is flipping the script on toxic sports culture by making us laugh and think.

🔹 From Dugouts to TikTok
Devin’s journey from college softball to youth sports satire is one-of-a-kind—and it’s blowing up for a reason.

🔹 Wigs, Skits, and Brutal Truths
She throws on wigs and becomes every sports parent you’ve ever encountered. It’s hilarious, but it’s also hitting a little too close to home.

🔹 Laugh First, Reflect Later
“When you’re scrolling, nobody likes to be told what to do. But if it’s funny? If someone’s in a wig? You just might stop, laugh… and think twice.”

🔹 Calling Out Mean Girl Culture
Devin uses comedy to highlight how some women, especially in sports parent circles, tear others down—and how it’s time to shift that energy.

🔹 Social Media Isn’t Helping
We’re in a world where everyone’s on defense. Instead of being open to growth, too many parents are just trying to save face on Instagram.

🔹 The Youth Sports Parent Starter Kit
Yes, it includes multiple oversized Stanley cups. And maybe a sprinkle of delusion.

🔹 Are We Creating Entitlement?
Parents are doing so much—but is it too much? Devin asks if all this effort is actually backfiring by removing the need to earn things.

🔹 Keeping Up With the Sideline Joneses
Is it really about what’s best for the kids—or are parents just trying to one-up each other for the ’gram?

🔹 “They’re Not Even Playing Anymore. They’re Performing.”
One of the most sobering lines of the episode. Devin breaks down the growing disconnect between what kids want out of sports—and what their parents expect.

🔹 Paranoia in the Bleachers
Everyone thinks their kid’s being slighted. But here’s a thought: maybe your kid is batting 9th because... they should be. And maybe they already know why.

🔹 Michelle Makes Her Appearance
In the most entertaining part of the episode, Devin throws on the Michelle wig and answers the juiciest youth sports questions. It’s chaotic, honest, and laugh-out-loud funny.

🔹 🔥 Hot Take of the Week: Bachelorette Parties, You’re on Notice
We take a hard left turn into party culture and why the whole thing might just need a reset.
