So proud to know you, so grateful for all you do for this team and this city at Jayen Brunson at New York Nick go Nicks with a picture of her embracing Jayen Brunson on the court.

I forgot the name of the podcast there. It was for a split second But I got it in time. Welcome to Casuals, the sports podcast that loves you and means it. Joined today. I'm Katie Nolan, joined today by my casualties, the production crew here at SeriesXM. We got Isabella our spports newbie. Hello We got Chris our master editor And we got buubub, buub,ub,r It's a pre tape. I have to I know that mostly most people would just pretend it's the day of the thing, but I don't like doing that. It makes me feel like a liar. So it's aemorial Day pre tape, so we can take Memorial D weekend. So we figured what we do is dive into a mailbag. We get a ton Of amazing emails and voicemails every week. and every week we have to cut them because we don't have time because we talk too much is basically it. if you want me to put it as quickly as possible. So today, we're just going to go through all of our favorite or a lot of our favorite emails and voicemails. that we've gotten over the last, I don't know, what would you say, Chris, you painstakingly combed through all of these. Is this month's worth of correspondence There was at least one from twelve months ago. Damn. Okay. So we're within the year is But we've got all of some of our favorites here and we're going to try to get to as many as possible. If you would like to email us casuals with Katie Nolan at gmail. com. that's where you can do that Our voicemails six four six eight zero zero zero four three on IG and Tikok we arere at Casuals podcast and we're going to really run the gamit here. We're gonna talk about music a little bit. We talk about sports, obviously, we've got walk up songs. That's a popular one that people like to know Um, probablyroably not able to play any though, huh No. Well, let's just all just hum them Maybe we will all try to hum our walk up songs. And so we have a lot of that to get you. Another thing we have to say, Chris, because this is a holiday weekend podcast, Chris is actually leaving in mere moments to go to Australia, right? You fly tonight Yep, flying out tonight, going to leave the house in a tick over an hour. Okay And then traveling for over twenty four hours. Crazy. Maybe by the time this comes out hopefully I'll be in Australia. I was going say by the time by the time you're in Australia, we'll be done recording, maybe. exactly More likely.. Yeah, so we get an hour of Chris, which, you know, in planning, you go, that's all we need Theoretically, but I have a funny feeling we're going to get to the se bllock and you're going to have to go. So in that case, you do still have a list of stuff that we can watch if we want to watch sports Oh yeah, of course. Okay. And we will just try our best to deliver it even though you wrote it in Australian And we'll just let everybody down so we don't let anybody down. Basketball, basketball is at some time It's on the Kang on. It's on kangaroo TV. I don't know what this is. We'll have squares at it. Well we'll give it a TV is a YouTube channel for the North Melbourne Kangaroos Perfect So it does exist. And I did know that Cause I'm in deep in the trenches on sports So really, without further ado, that's what it is and that's how we're going to do it. So let's go ahead and get started with Oh, I guess that's the other question. if when Chris Lee is if Brady, can you read? I am literate. yeah, I can read. I just didn't know if you had access to all the stuff because I don't That's an important thing to know. If you're emailing us, just know, I won't see it. I don't even have the password I can't have the password to that. I'll go in it. I don't even have the password. I don't think to our Instagram. I can't know. I can't, That's not for. We can't give Katie access to more social media. No, please. No please, please, please. I'm trying to pull myself out. I can't be getting more into. Does anyone ask a question about video games too, by the way, 'causeuse I got video game stuff I wanna get off my chest No. I guess I'll just hold it here. Okay, let's go ahead and dive right in Wh where are we starting, Chris? Give me a giveim me something Let's start with Ben from Chicago. K writes in and says, I was curious which professional athlete which you think would be the most entertaining on the challenge, Not talking about the eliminations or the daailies, but just for the amount of chaos and unhinged confessionals In know vintage CT punching through a wall type of events, you would like to see that only the mid two thousands MTV could bring Anyway, thanks, love you mean it. byye. Does everybody here watch the challenge I' never watched it. No Sorry, in order in one at a time, Chris never watched it. Brady said Yes. I have recently not as much, but definitely I have like so Johnny banas in my back. Yeah I mean, that and that tracks to me. And then Isabella, your answer was,. Okay. So we'll speed through this question because it doesn't feel worth spending a ton of time on if only two of us have really ever seen The show, But I guess the question would be like a professional athlete that you think would be good on reality TV. Isabella, it's basically like they all live in a house gath from at this point, I think they cast it from other reality shows. It's from challenges past and those were originally cast from real world and rooad Rules. then R Isaba I know, then Road rules stopp being a show. So it doesn't really matter for the sake of time. And then it used to be called real world Road Rules challenge then became challenge and now it's MTV reality show stars mixed with people who have played the challenge mixed with like Love Island UK was on there, I think at one point or one of those other show and so now it's just kind of reality stars come together to compete and live together and form alliances and vote and all of that Do that make sense? Yeah. And so we're picking athletes we would like to see on there or that would make good TV on there. So I would say the obvious answer from the jump is like Draym on Green. Whether you like him or not, that's a great reality TV show contestant. He will stir the pot. like because listen, there's times that Johnny Banas gets on your nerves. There's times where you're like, Johnny. And it takes a minute before he becomes before hes becomes his fully realized character where you go like This is just what Johnny Banas does. He pokes here and then watch what happens from it over here. like he's controlling the same thing with Wes. West gets annoying sometimes, but you're like, I do see the strategy. CT had some down seasons. He also has a positive narrative, I think M mainly because of the growth we saw from him because of what happened with DM, which was a real tragedy. But I'm getting too in the weeds for a group of people who don't Watch the challenge. Do you have any athlete you guys are thinking of you think would be good on a reality TV show I had so many I bet. You have you need the Sitsts and then you need the Sitsterees. I think the one that jumps out like right now and I think he actually might do it. give it twelve months. Diego Pavia. Oh no Diego Paviia on the challenge. He's about the exact size and shape of Derek So You absolutely would have him being like the way too small dog running around the house, starting fiire, starting shit with everybody You need the person who is going to be way too outspoken politically and think he's right all the time. So I would have Nick Bosa in there Um I think you need the guy that's the absolute wild card and might just throw a baseball at anything at any time. Framber Valdez can be in my challenge. Geez. I mean, what a he's really not been making headlines for being a good teammate recently Absolutely not. Interesting If you have an open bar, which they always do I'm going to invite Alexo Vechkin Right because I just don't think he'd be helpful to the game. I don't think he would play the game. I think he would just go, whyy fight We got twenty four contestants here. They're not all going to be winners. I don't need everybody to be going for the trophy. I need some of them to just show up for the zip line. I need some of them to just be there for a good time. Pkanakkua easy one because the man's unpredictable. I'm gonna throw in Bryon to shhambo as a ch. He's annoying me. Can we talk about it He's being very annoying to me. Didn't he say that he doesn't know if he's going to golf or do content He said Yeahah, Bryon D Sambo basically like golf only fans at this point. Like he said, I'm not even going to play golf anymore. I'm just going to do YouTube content Yeah he's like And then but I saw somebody circulating. I'd never seen his online content. and I saw somebody like, You'd rather do this than play golf professionally. and it was pretty embarrassing need men and women Also he's just pivoting back to the bit, I guess, so go ahead Mid Purse Mid Purse is on the Yeah, because Mid Purse is would because she's the reality the reality show. She'd want to br the game is the problem. but yeah, she could be and it she'd be good. She would game the system. She could know how it could easily win Emilys on it if we're just loading it up players because I need a psychopath in there. Yeah. I also think she would just be friends with everybody and then would have to have it like I think at some point she'd go, o, I don't know. I thought we were just like hanging out I could see her forgetting that you were supposed to also scheme and move through the world. This feels like you' we. Okay. fourour from the WNBA, Diana Torzzi Sophie Cunningham and both stud buds just because that just be entertainment value if we put the stududs. I say put the studud buds on triters I wantud have to pretend they don't know each other That's Well it worked for Johnny and Tara. They let those two stay there deep into the show. They were there at the end This should have been about the first people out U didid that answer whatever question they asked Ben from Chicago? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, I'd say so. All right, then let's go to the next question Next one, we have a voicemail from Rachel from Columbus. Let's have a listen Hi, Katie and the Casualties. This is Rachel Calling from Columbus, Ohio I am a fairly casual sports fan And I do really like sports and lots of different sports. I just do not have the brain capacity to know all the ins and outs And so as a woman to is a sports fan and claims to be a sports fan But doesn't always know all the stuff and blah, blah, blah and everything that happened in every game How do you Or how do I? because I know you are a bigger and don't do that, but but I do How do you still answer or feel like you're not an imposter This now for you, maybe Isabella and answer some of this too as a sports community evenven though I wouldn't consider myself a fourth movie I still want to enjoy sports and talk to people about sports But maybe I don't know all of the specific tiny, minute details when I am talking about sports with other people who maybe know a little bit more than me So thank you. I hope you have a great day. Love you it, bye. Love you mean it, Rachel. Look, this is exactly who this podcast was created for. It was created to make people like Rachel and people like me feel like empowered to like you can talk about sports. You say that you like them and that you even said I wouldn't consider myself a sports newieies and you've been watching sports for long enough doesn't, um actually matter. I think it was kind of a couple of steps for me that got me to this realization. Number one, was realizing that a lot of people who talk confidently about sports are just getting it wrong and don't care Once I realized that those was very freeing where I was like, o, that person saying, Oh that was in nineteen ninety two. And I go, wow, how'd you do that And then later you look it up and you go, it was nineteen ninety four. So they actually didn't do that. They just had false confidence and nobody questioned them. So that's one part of it. The other part of it for me was that I was like, You know, because I hear this a lot. I get this a lot from people saying it to me about me, or they go like, you don't know anything. You got this wrong, so you don't know. So why would I listen to you? And um A conversation I've had with one of my girlfriends was that like our brains don't process sports. The only way that seems to be acceptable for brains to process sports. For some reason, when you say you're a sports fan, people go, oh, you must know everything. You must know who's the leader in goals right now in the NHL and you go like I don't know, but I watched a hockey game last night. And so to me, what I default to was like Nobody can tell me I'm not watching these games and enjoying them becausecause I'm watching the games and enjoying them. I'm there for that And just because my brain doesn't remember where in the second period that goal was scored or if it came before or after the goal that the other team scored doesn't mean I didn't watch the game, enjoy the game and like feel something for the game And so I think for me, the way to fight through that is to go like, well You're not lying be an imposter If you say you like sports, no one can tell you that you don't. They can tell you that you don't like it the way they do that you aren't retaining information about it the way that they do, but that doesn't mean that you don't like it. People like things in different ways. And it's part of why I wanted to make this podcast so bad because I wanted to be like this sports fandom can look like this. when it goes, who scored that Or like, what was that team when I vaguely remembember the connection between things without always remembering the exact form and name and who it's like that that exists and is just as valid. U and so I say You're doing it. You called into a sports podcast, you asked a question, and you're a sports fan. And you even know that you watch more sports than you give credit for. So I say no one can tell you if you like sports or not And if anybody asks you a question you don't answer, you don't know the answer to I go, you either just lie confidently or go Yeah, I don't know that, but can you shut up? I'm watching the game.a And there you are. Isabelle, I don't know if you had anything you want to add on that. Yeah, the main thing is like honestly, just associate with sports fans that don't Yeah, that's a great That That's honestly been the biggest thing for me is like once you come across sports fans that like don't care about how much you know, it makes enjoying your sports fand up so much more. and you feel more connected it. Like For example, today, I was thinking about how I put on this next jersey. and like I've always felt sometimes throughout the years, I've had this jersey for years, like since high school And I would always be like scared to wear it sometimes because I'm like, I's gonna invite The annoying man to be like Tell me your who the team Yeah exactly. like all these different questions and I'm like, I just don't feel like answering questions. And today I'm like walking through the city. and instead I come across all these different sports fans who are like, let's go Nigs, let's go Nigs. And it's like, you know, none of them did that. you know? And so like I'm sure there maybe will be some person eventually down the line who wants to be annoying, But like once you just like decide, all right, I don't want to be around those kind of sports fans and just the ones who are just like happy that you're here, it's a lot more enjoyable. Yeah, this is a hobby. And so just like reject the energy of anybody who makes it into homework and go like Oh, that sounds cool. I actually don't know about that. And if you do and you want to tell me about it, great, but if you're going to tell me about it to sort of prove that you're better than me at liking this thing that just doesn't register for me. So thanks, but no thanks. And I think like that shift in energy helps. sometometimes it's like cool when somebody knowsuff I don't and they can help me fill in the blanks. It's kind of the goal. but like You don't have to know stuff to like watching humans do awesome stuff ext Next, we have another voicemail, this one from August. awome. The month? o a person. I can be the casualties This is August Seattle, Washington I call to ask what bo would be most improved if you change the ball, flush, puck, whatever to a balloon So soccer, play with the balloon. hockey, playays with a balloon, et cetera, et cetera. M improve You, love you mean it by August. I love this question and love you and mean it. Now we gott to distinguish impproved for the viewer or improved for the player. I think we have to go forer. Okay, because if we were doing player, which we aren't, it's dodgeball, right? It is immediately better if we're playing that with a balloon than it is with one of those big hard balls from gym class. U But for the viewer I also feel like there's kind of one definitive answer on this as well And it feels like volleyall Yeah. that feels like the the mount of times that I think all of us have played balloon volleyball. just keep you upppy at that. keep you upy. I was gonna say it it's my niece's favorite game. It's the only one she knows. It's So you hold it you hold it by like a knob. Yeah and then they're just bonking each other. Okay, that's not bad. That's not bad. And that airs on the Oo, I think at night. So the viewing experience will be better I mean, pillow fighting actually does err on ESPN oe. Yeah, O of course it does. Do There is one that has dramatically improved by replacing the object with a balloon The four by one hundred meter dash If you replace the baton With a giant balloon. Imagine trying to haul ass and sprint as fast as you can while holding a giant balloon. and then you have to hand that balloon to the next person who will then take off. Handing a balloon to another person while you're both running by the knot is very funny., no take take this Yeah, filled with heleli. is great We don' Where we just an air buallet? the panic of you dropping it and you're like you've gott to go to stop Oh shit, turn around and go back and get it in your're le and take off again. Actually a really, really good point. I was gonna say the pillow fighting one could be U What's this Fencing. Yeah fencing. I can't believe I holding it by the knot and just like popping it into each other is kind of funny And I wonder table tennis, that could be kind of fun if make it. If you're just whapping a balloon with a paddle Kind of fun Rugy be another one. just tackling someone with a balloon Yeah trying at all costs to protect said balloon It's just funny visually off like, it's just a balloon. Its you can get it from tents and what is it? What could it cost, Michael Dollar U Okay, I love that. That's fun. Did we leave any this is why these take forevers because I go, let's not leave anything on the table. Did we answer every sport that could pos I think volleyball. I think got. I think bowling becomes the worst. Jordan Yeah, Jordan Luke is playing balloon volleyball. Tell me you're not tuning in for that. Siking it on my little niece on the other side of the net and then sassing away Please. Okay, next Next, I'm gonna say Aaron from New York. A R E N. Are we saying Aaron? Yeah. Yeah. Wh not All right, Aaron from New York. He says a longt time fan of viewer. I just wanted to say thanks for putting together such a great show every week. It's the highlight of my usually crappy midwek work days. sorry to hear that Aaron What sports, if any, would you put on a bucket list to travel to see internationally? O list includes Bundus Laguea football in Germany Auszie rules football in Australia cricket in India I just think those sports would be awesome to see in those countries. Yeah, this is a fun one. I went to an Aussie Rules football game In Australia I think. I was think it waszzie R. Pretty drunk. I thought, but now I also realize you guys have a lot of different ones and I like rugy like I easily could have beenen it and it was like a rugby. their jersey was like a rugby kit It was yellow and green and it was was it the wall parking lot? Is there a team the Austral team? Yeah, the Australianyam Yeah probably what But is that the national team? No. Yeah. But then I wouldn't have gone to a national team game. I don't think that feels like a bigger deal. I don't think it was a the Brumbies's a t called the Brumbies, but I don't know They got the jersey at home somewhere.n't It was just like I was in Australia. I was like, let me go watch a sporting event. It was fun. It was great A lot of meat pies A lot of meat pies. I would like to go to a Korean or Japanese baseball game Very badly It's a long trip. That's the only part that I go like. Long trip and I got no hope of knowing the language. It's just not I don't know it at all. I can't see myself being smart enough to learn it at my big age. would really love to go to that. It sounds. O friend Danny Wexman went to the WBC games in Tokyo. sounds look like the best awesome. abolutely So cool. I've also just seen You just cataloging eating, going up and down all the street food all into the stadium in the f. I've watched random TikToks where people are like, yeah, you can go in, you can leave and come back, you can bring your own food. It's just like a nice A cleans up after cra the cleanest stadium least relatable to our culture in its current state, I guess I would say. It's a lot of accountability for your own mess, you know? And I also think Olympics. I worked in Olympics for NBC, but it was during the COVID year, so we didn't go anywhere. Everything we did was filmed for my stuff, at least was filmed in Connecticut at NBC's wonderful headquarters, but not we weren't actually in the mix. would to go Olympic gymnastics, Olympic swimming U mayaybe like track and field. I love the Olympics, so I would love to go to like anlympic a nice Olympic event, but it doesn't I don't have the specific country in mind. I'm sure you guys have really good answers, toss them out so that it's not just me happening. Oh, we gotta get you to Wimbleden or the French open, not the Australian openpen. She doesn't care, Chris. Sorry. that Why you leave that one''t care I love to go to that one. It was mainly. I was like, oh, it's a different court. I've never seen a different court like a surface I mean. Yeah French is like that. That's what it is. It has nothing to do with who you are as people or like I played most of my tennis career on clay. I like clay. And how long was your tennis career? Oh, I played for ten years. He said. Yeah. so ask me another question B. Yeah. s did you rank? What was your rank on the ATP or whatever I was every tennis player. That was that was the sport that I was bested at growing up. But you really were very good Yeah, I was fucking shit. I prefer playing basketball Because I haven't really like I had a bad season when I was like I don't want sort of fell out. Like, please I was ranked number three in the country. But I was much better tennis player than I was basketall player but I just preferred playing basketball moreore. We had a whole Maria Saripoa in here. I know you single word about this Interesting. What's the what would you want to travel to see, Chris O Premier League Dots Yeah, of course. In England. Is that fun to watch live? I feel like I'd be doing a lot of to match in Australia And it was a lot of fun. But I had like front row seats because the companany that I was working for were sponsors. So we got seats right up the front free alcohol, free hot dogs, it was awesome. so Yeah, but I would like like the atmosphere at those matches, events, whatever you call them, just incredible. so I'd want to say that for sure. I learned today that the word they use when describing let's say, the hot doog eating contest is spectacle Probably not what they call the darts, but it's close enough. because you can't call it a sport. they just call it a spectacle want to do in like a good English soccer rivalry like not like man United and Man City Like not one in the giant like home No, go to the Merseyside Derby. That'll be I want to go to like Liverpoolampton in Dunford, Birkonhireborough. That's not L one of like a rickety old stadium where the beer is warm and it's like a little dangerous. You can't drink beer in your seat And also isn't everywhere in the UK anyway. Yeah true. They don't do ice. whatever reason. T be good and sauced up on the way in there. Yeah. that's makeaking it a little bit so vue.. The other one, This not going to shock you. I really really at one point in my life want to do Luchador wrestling at Arena, Mexico. Not surprising. This is what A Ari Shafir was trying to plan a vacation for Dan and I. And he said, you guys should go down to Mexico City and go to like a Luchidor So the mistake is we pitch that to both of you at the same time No, he pitch it to me. No, he pch it to me for me and Dan. for like something we can do quickly while also being like international Be sometimes we try to bite off more than we can chune and we go, we want to go to Japan. Well, that's going to take a whole big This is just, you can go easily, right down there, see a cool cultural spectacle. And it's like everybody goes in Mexico City as far as I know. Like it's like the thing to do and they's been there forever Yeah, I'm in too. Okay, next, we're flying through them Bro from Austin. Bro. Bro. Bro's back Hot, You lo me, right? I remember. Oh yeah, I think so Lets see if that's still the case Hey, it's Broll from Austin, fififth time caller longongtime listener. This is for the summer Mailbag I have just a general question that I wouldd love to hear your thoughts on I think that it's kind of bullshit that referees or umpires are completely like objective or subject with objective. I think When it comes to the game You grow up, you love a team. There's a reason why you love the game and it's usually a specific team or player or something And so when I watch these guys make the calls, I feel like there has to be a bias based on is a passion that feel for the game itself Lo to hear your thoughts Oh that's it. Oh. And no update on how he feels about Isabella Yeah, it's fine. No. I'm over you too I think he's abellarokeies pretty earllly, so I can bro' just protected himself. Damn, Bro. Okay, so Bro says I find it hard to believe that refs are objective. There's no way that they know enough about the sport. without having gotten into it through liking it and that must leak through in their calls. And I'll say this, I'm I hear you and I hear what you're saying. I've taken this stance in regards to media before where I'm like they tell people not to have teams that they root for, but I find it very strange that this many people would love sports enough to get into working in them and talking about them if they didn't have a natural allegiance to one team that they grew up watching. I find it strange that they make people do the like, no, but I'm neutral At the same time When it is your job does kind of you can kind of click into it and lock in and that part you kind of forget The refs, especially like a hockey ref, I feel like you have so much going on and there's so much little stuff to watch that like you might not even realize until you look up from like which team you're calling it on. There's not even, I don't think they're operating at a level of like, I've always loved the Tampa Bay Lightning, so let me make sure every call goes in the favor of whatever Right. And so like even as a as like a Bruins fan, as I've worked in sports, I've not become less of a B and Mat at them. So I'm like less of a Bruins fan in that way. but not because I'm like having to cover all sports. it's just that now I sort of objectively can see when there's a call that shouldn't go in our favor where you go like, I'd love that not to be true, but that was clearly, you know, a cross check and they're going to call it. Like you can still see, you're just not as blinded because he's a ref. So he can't be going like what because he's the ref. So he's looking at it just making it and I think they make mistakes. Now what I think their bias that leak might leak through could be against certain players. that would be difficult to mitigate because if you're going into a game and going, okay Nber twenty two on the other team, famously pretty dirty player. So let's just make sure we're not ever really letting him out of our sight because he has a tendency to do like that I could then see costing that player, which is why you don't ever want to be that player But I don't think I don't think about refs and go, wow, that guy must really love It's like the New York Giants, so he's never gonna to make the same call. At this point, I'd be more willing to believe it would be for corrupt reasons than for like a fandom. It's likere if you're gonna take the risk Yeah like I'm not out here roughing. Right. If you're gonna take the risk of like blowing a call, at least do it for money from whoever gives you money in those situations Don't be out here doing it for free becausecause you like a team. That's kind of Be then you lose your job and you lose money. That's right. Exactly. Chris gets it all.

Its I think it's raining pretty much everywhere, I feel like So our vibe would be higher, I guess it's Tuesday when this comes out. from Memorial Day weekend. Good job. You guys did great back there. What a fun time we had Yeah just then. those last few days in the rain clouds, you know, But it was, oh,' I feel refreshed. it's And I'm going to play a lot of Lego Batman. just came out today. So that's how I'm spending my weekend. Lego Batman. Also, I do want to give a quick shout out. I know I said nobody asked any questions about video games, but somebody recommended the other day on the air or sent me a tweet that was like, you should play this game called South of Midnight. I had never heard of it. I'm not too plugged into video games the way I should be. I like playing them but I don't follow the trades, I guess. This game rules I'm not done with it yet, but it's an incredible story. It's beautifully done It' It's really hard to describe, so I'm not going to attempt to do it. But if you're looking for a game that's like story based, you can play it alone. It's not online. It's not against other people and it's like got a mix of like, you know, good storytelling and stuff.. She's so cute and she's so fun to play. So what is the genre here? It Well, its it's like a It's kind of like a I guess you do there are fights parts in your magic, you are magical. You play like you've got magic And you fight these demons that are taking over. but it's really based, it's honestly, I don't want to I'll tell you what I love about it because I think it'll make people go like, that's for girls, but it is a really it's a great game and it's a lot of it it's about like trauma and generational trauma and like lore around weavers and their It's really hard to explain and I hate that you've backed me into this corner. playay it. It's really fun. and it was on sale when I bought it. So if you're a gamer and you're looking for a game one's very fun. I'm not done with it yet, but it's really fun. Okay, back to questions. Let's get in the mail This one's kind of like a segment It's called Kids Corner. Welcome to the too the McDonald's playlayplace. Welcome to the McDonald's playaypl. This is No, Isabelle and I learned fan service the other day. Somebody called in and said that their job was to clean the kids playplace and it was like four hours a night they would set aside to clean that I was shocked. I don't even know if that's enough. And it's it's barely enough, but it's more than I thought they were putting towards it. and it's more than they're putting towards making that ice cream thing work every night They just let that thing rot into oblivion. All right, G, let's go to the these are emails about like parenting and Kids, which you know My area of expertise. so let's hit it This one' from Den says Hey, Katie the casualties, My daughter I bond over the WMBA and it's the one sport she enjoys watching with me. My question is for Katie and Isabella, what sport or sports did you bond with your father over? And Brady and Chris, what sports do you bond with your daughters over? L you. This is cute. Isabelle, you go first I mean, it's definitely tennis for me. That was always like the main sport that my dad always liked would like take me to lessons and you know, that was our sports connection. And then the only other one that's like a little bit is boxing ' Bxing. Yeah. I don't know that we've ever even dipped our toe. Oh my God. parties growing up with Manny Pacquiao playing. it was of course. Of course. Of course That was one of them too. Yeah, that does make perfect sense. Thank you for making it click for Brady and I. I feel like that happened at the same. So with my dad, it was I would say hockey because hockey is sort of, I think our whole family, if you had to sum us up in one sport, it was hockey. Hockey brought us all together Um, And It's just because Kevin played it. It's like my brother played it and and was very good at it. I think my dad and brother probably have the stronger hockey bond. Me and my dad are mostly, I think through baseball. Even though he I mean, my Godd, he hated the Red Sox. He hated the Red Sox because he loved him so much through all the years that they We disappointed him. So by the time we got to zero four, which Isabella even the year two thousand four. Does that ring any bells for you? two thousand I was like four I mean But when two thousand four happened, like my dad was very much like Don't don't have hope. It's over. Don't let this team hurt you. You're looking at me. I'm proof. They've only ever disappointed. and I was like bright eyed bushy tailed. I think I was like sixteen. And so I was like, they're gonna do it down And then they fucking did it. And so it was like this beautiful moment of like, I actually think that was one of the times I saw my dad cry. And so like he always brought me to games. He encouraged me to love and hate people on my own team, even though they weren't based in facts, like famously, I hated Trot Nixon for no reason. One game that my dad took me to, Trot Nixon missed what to me to my twelve or eleven year old eyes was a routine ground ball. He let it go right under his glove. It bothered me. and I hated Trot Nixon to that day. That doesn't make sense, but my dad was never like that Doesn' it make sense? My dad said, yeah, he wronged you that day We came all the way out and he did that right in front of you and it was messed up He needed you to experience the pain of someone having a ground ball go through the. Yeah. And Brady, that's exactly what it was. He said, Look, you are allowed to hold a grudge. He of course said his was strong his hate was stronger than mine and he was had every right to be. But yeah, I would say that's the main sport is baseball. What about you guys and your daughters? I feel like Chris, we talked recently about minor league baseball, you and your daughter. Yeah, isz he loves baseball. That's definitely number one, but This is a bit of a tease for what to watch this week. hoping that we can bond over Australian football a little bit because she's going to see Jaga Smith for the first time. ext weekend. So I'm looking forward to taking her to a in person. Als football game. Yeah,'re gonna. My go. We're got two games where we're down there. the first one's gonna to be next weekend. Is it too? Is it an overstep of boundaries to ask you to capture some content while we're there? Can you like you know, let us know how it goes. Let us know. I was gonna interview her afterwards and see if she has the same excitement Yes. Yeah, we interviewed her after the women's basketball game college basketball game last year at the end of last year and then, um, Yeah, she was just really excited after the baseball game. So I'm hoping that she has that same level of energy for Carlton football, but knowing my luck, we're going to lose by a hundred points and then we're going to leave early and then she's not gonna to speak about it ever again. Or you'll learn that she's that specific brand of sick where you guys lose and she goes like, I'm in. whatever. Let's ride. She starts throwing a tangent. We've made sure to pack her Jagie Smith Gernsey. so she's going Y. Clton Gernsey, I'll be wear mine U never going to call it a Gernsey, but I do love that for you guys and that's very exciting. Brady, what about you and your daughters It was it was So there's their own sports. they play Lacrosse, they play field hockey But I think before you and that we bonded over baseball because kids are so about the experiential aspect of it and they will they are not just old jaded sports fans like me. like they will they will see heroes in real time, seeee these larger than life people and the first time I took my daughters to an Oris game Austin Hayes hit two home runs And in their mind, no one had ever No one's better than that. g. You can't you hit the ball over the fence and this guy did it twice. the greatest baseball player to ever play. Put him in the haall. Absolutely. and my God. Like I shook his hand and said like, next time I saw him, I said, you know, thank you. You created this amazing thing for my daughters Um the first the only multi Homer game you've ever had was the first one they experienced. And they just want to follow your career forever now because you are the greatest and. you got them excited about sports. And we did that from within the ballpark in Baltimore. That's perfect Yeah And what a ballpark too to do it in. By the way, field hockey, Lacrosse It's always stick season in your house, huh Always the season of the st. That's wild All right, we got more kid Kid based email? I mean, God, what a terrible thing to say in the year twenty twenty six. Any more kid based emails? Anything we want to? Some files. The next email that we have is from Eden. He says, hello, longt timee listener, first time email. I hope you can help me out with solving a long running family debate. Oh, let's go. This is my type of content which for occasionally better but mostly worse has made me a lifelong Minnesota sports fan in particular of the Minnesota twwins. The last time the twins reached a worldorld sereries was in nineteen ninety one Which still stands as one of the greatest world series ever played, highlighted by Jack Morris pitching a ten inning shout out to lead the twwins to a one zero victory in game seven. I was six years old in nineteen ninety one, and I learned about the series win and Morris's masterpiece the next morning from a post it note that my dad left on the kitchen cabinet because he made me go to bed before the game was over. I'm now forty one and my dad is seventy five in this travesty of good parenting comes up nearly every time I see him. He thinks I should let it go, but I've long held that I would forgive him For not letting me see the end of the game the next time the twins Win a World series Is this unreasonable of me? A I being an asshole here frankly, I think I'm being generous and then I still speak to him at all after that. But I will leave it to the greatest female sports voice of my generation, the greatest fantasy football savant slash future New York Nicks coach the world has ever seen the dreamiest Australian accent currently on air and also Brady give such a big adswer. Oh my sex in the city This That's tough Oh Okaykay. so I know the breakup on a post it note. It's hard to find out any news of with Gravitas on a post it note. It's like what if what if the sticky stuff stopped working and it fell to the ground and I missed it. You can't tell me something important on a piece of ephemera, but okay, This is funny because Isabella, were you there the other day when Adam Sine He made Theo, his son go to bed before the Nicks made that big comeback against the calavves because he was already up past his bedtime. He'd been sick a couple days before and missed school and baseball. And so he was like, you got to go to bed. there it's over And then it wasn't over. and Theo was very upset the next day that he didn't get to see the game. And I said to Shine, I was like, I wonder if that was a stressful moment for you where you're like, I could be harming his fandom U he was like, no, you idiot. He's my son. I used to go to bed. A the same time, It's like and it was only game one. Luckily it was only game one This is game seven. of the World series This is a close game nothing. that' this is or she, I don't know, Eden, do we have any pronouns anywhere in there, Chris I don't know. Eden could go either way. So let's just be vague. But I do think I would Be upset. I would be upset Because I was a little upset and now mines stupider And if I preface it with that Will everybody get less mad when I say it? Mine is stupider but I still kind of hold it against my family in general that we were in Italy when two thousand four happened, that we did not watch the Red Sox Yankees series live because it a it was so the time difference, I don't remember it off the top of my head, but it wasn't right. and we and nobody cared over there because Vinnie Pasquintino hadn't happened yet because so they didn't know about baseball and we couldn't really watch it. And so like I am a Red Sox fan. I obviously watched it a million times since and anything made about it. I've either watched or was in I just it's it is like a stain on my fandom personally that I carry around of like, yeah, I can't rememember where I was, I was in Italy on an amazing trip I was grateful to have, but at the same time kept me from like a what would have been awesome to be a part of. So'm I'm on the side that Eden shouldn't let it go. Now don't let it make you go no contact. I think you should keep your father in your life. but like Rz him about it. The way that we Rz family members about I was going to mention one and then thought of what my mom L the horror on my mom's face if I brought a home, you know, the thing you do within your family where you go, rememember the time mom did terrible thing out of context that we all laugh and love her for? And you say it on a podcast and people are like Ah. But like, you know, make fun of your family for that and hold it against him for sure. And then honestly, if I were booking this, if I were writing this movie, I'm really pulling for that World Series win that you guys can enjoy together. becausecause you know They ha't won since. Life is short You know, and your dad is seventy five. So it's not make, you know, I would like you guys to have that moment together. Wouldn't that be nice But if anybody disagrees, you can say Yous gott a lot of to stay. Yeah. kids got to stay up. gott's going to be the deciding moment in the World Series. a Minnesota spports fan Morris is thring possibly the greatest game ever pitched G step Yeah, of course, that's one of my Chris, wouldould you let your kids, would you let your kids st up Yeah, for a close out game like that, absolutely. If it was game one, Even of the World Series U don't Six is tough. Six, you can still screw a sleep schedule and ruin your w. Yeah. So game one, probably not any close out game one hundred percent. If if they if my kids are interested enough to watch it with me, Yeah, I'm letting them do it. I asked Shine if when they went to overtime If you if he thought about waking up Theo and he was like, no I was like And this is probably why I don't have kids. I know because as was on here, I'm like, hell yeah, stay up, broke, crrack a beer. I know I was like I would shake I'd go and shake the kid and go. They made it to OT, getet up. donon't tell your mom. Don't tell your teacher Yeah, come. you got to see this. Okay. And then we've got another another one in this genre, Chris We do. this is from Taylor who says, Hi Kating the casualties, I'm runninging to ask an important question. Am I in the wrong for singing swweet Caroline to my three month old that I agreed to raise a Yankees fan? Whoa This is layered. Yeah. So my husband and I are big sports fans. We have moderate to strong fandoms of the four major male sports leagues and we broadly follow the women's Leagues and small male sports leagues. We share fandoms of our Villan overa Wildcats men's and women's baskball teams and by extension V over Nicks U but that's where our shared interests end. My husband is a Yankees, dolphins, and golden knife. Okay, pause, pause, pause, pause. So the husband is a Yankees Dolphins. Dolphins Golden Kights and and golden and large gap Golden Kights fan. So that's the ranking for the husband. Yankees U what was the second one? Dolphins. Large gap Golden Knights. Okaykay? And then for the wife I am a Patriots Bruins and smallm gap Red Sox fan. Okay. Patriots Bruins. Sorry, I'm just picturing this. Y. Small gap. Red Sox fan. Okaykay, so they must have gone with Yankees because it's his number one. Patriots because it's her number one And then I assume Bruins because he doesn't because he doesn't care about the Golden Knights Yes. Yeah That makes sense to me until she can choose for herself. Okay, I see that's go ahead, sorry, keep going. Yes. Taylor continues on saying last week, which is probably a few months ago at this point. I can't see Min. The baby was feeling particularly fussy and I was singing every song I could think of to get her to calm down. I got to take me out to the ball game where I said root for the home team because I couldn't bring myself to say root for the Yankees. When that didn't work to settle her, I moved on to the next song that popped into my head, which was Sweet Caroline and it worked Baby settled down and smiled Since then, Sweet Caroline has continued to settle her. So am I in the wrong for continuing to sing the Red Sox song to my Yankees fan Baby. Love the show. Thankks for keeping me company on my walks every Tuesday and Thursday. I love you mean it. Taylor. the blanks for What the hell is Seet Caroline? Red Sox It's a song heavily associated with the Red Sox. We sing it at Red Sox games. And so it makes sense that like I tried I'm going through my arsenal of every song I know. I get to take me out to the ball game. That's not working. So I go to the next one would be Sweet Caroline. I see the connection obviously, but I also see the moral conundrum, which is that if your baby connects with this song as your baby gets older and realizes that song's deep connection to Mom's team You could be like, well, I like the I just don't think Seet Caroline' iss going to be enough of a tether to make the kid want to like the Red Sox. If anything, I think the Yankees fan kid might grow up And when they hear this story, resent that you sang them that song because they love the Yankees so much. But I don't know, Isabele, you still have like a strong connection to the songs that you're and either of your parents sayang to you when you were little to help you go to sleep I' not even Yeah, see talks through. Right. So I think I think you're safe. Look from what I understand, getting the baby to sleep If that's all you got to do is sing a song that if your husband has an issue with this, I might even say divorce because it's like the baby is sleeping. So technically having to put a It's working. like transcends all this sports fans exactly what I was ching. It's about. Go ahead. it's all about survival at that. whatever you can do to get the baby to sleep If you got a chant Yankees suck, Yankees suck to get the baby to go to sleep, I think it's worth it. I think we should try it.. I think a lot of babiesothing I had one kid that only fell asleep to total eclipse of the heart And one kid only fell asleep to hands downown by dashboard. And you know I for years. I haven't listened to hands. I'm gonna to listen to that this weekend. I haven't listen to hands down and A long time Sam I had a heavy dashboard confessional face. Does that track? track? Does that track? I cortleort little track. What do you mean? I didn't wear my choker, you're welcome. Okay. alsoso that reminds me and this is unrelated, but Brady, did you watch that thing? I sent you that wrestling thing? People are going nuts about it. Notet. I'm gonna get your. I haven't watched it yet. Dan was on a wrestling podcast that everybody loves and he was on with Will Sassso, who Dan loves. And I love too, but like it was like a a like a fantasy booking for Dan and everybody's going nuts about it. I'm saving it because Dan's away this weekend and so I'm going to watch it when he's gone and I miss him becausecause yout it's weird to go like, hey, can you go play video games so I can watch this YouTube video of you? It's just a weird. thing to say, I haven't seen it, but I want to see it. and wrestling fans Google it I don't I don't how to say that guy's name Oh, Chris Van Vleet Van Vleet I didn't know because you know, you got Greta Van Fleet, you've got Chris, it looks like Villet. I didn't want to say it wrong Chris Van Vleet He's great People really like fantastic. Like the nicest guy. Yeah. Oh, good to know. I love nice people. Okay, let's keep going. let's keep going. We're making good time. Chris has to go Next one, we' got a voicemail from Dave. Let's listen to what Dave has to ask Hey, Katie. It's Dave from Humbt County, California. I burned myself at work this week. It was unfortunate. It was my fault, but what do you do? So I'm all laid up with like Second degree burns on five percent of my body, which doesn't sound like a lote, but was enough in the moment. Let me tell you U All right. so if you were me, And you were to recommend Or if you were actually recommending to me a movie that I should watch this week while I'm off of work What movie would you recommend U I have watched Surprisingly few, even though I love sports Anyway, I also love you and I mean it and I thank you for your consideration ave I hope you're okay. But what happened percent of your body's enough for me What? So what you have more info? No, This is the voicemail that came in twelve months ago though, so I'm hopingco This is almost mean of us to include now. He needed this so long update from Dave. I want to hear an update I thought we were doing a kindness. I was like, Well, we can't cut this one. He needs a movie to watch. It was a year ago. he asked for this It' take a while to heal Yeah, I want to see let's get up. I say I was mostost surprised by burning five percent of your body giving you one week from work. I don't know I feel like give him too. I know it was his fault, but certainly not on purpose I also want to know where on the bot It's not important. Okay. And what he does for work? And where's Humble County, Up or down, California Up No idea. I'm guessing up the gap Nobody Google it.iddle W Perfect. Lets let's also use this as an opportunity to say, this is not the only summer pret tape we will be doing. and we don't want them all to just be mail bags, right? And so we have an awesome guest coming in. But what we need from you is something very specific for this. So we are soliciting from you while we're about to talk about movies. We're going to do an episode kind of around sports movies and what we need from you Is your name, where you're from, what your favorite sports movie is and a quick reason why So if you want to do that in an email or a voicemail, our email again is U casuals with Katie Nolan at gmail d. com Our voicemail is, what is it It's not in front of me Um Oh God someomebody, please know it off the top of six four six four six eight zero one zero zero four three. That is the voicemail that you can call and leave us. So it's name where you're calling from or writing from, Name of a movie, one movie please. We can only do one movie per person. so you pick your absolute favorite and then the reason why And we're going to use that with an awesome guest we have booked. We have like a fun idea plan. So if you've got a favorite movie that you want to tell us, sports movie U do that Soon, E, then later, within the next Two weeks erm Cubo County by the way, Northwest. Thank wayay up. Thank Almost Oregon. Way up there. Great. Fantastic. I was right, then. let the record reflect All right, sports movies. I know we all have tons of favorites, but let's follow the same rules that we're giving to the listeners and do one and why Who wants to go first? I choose Isabella I'm going to choose an unconventional one. Some they say it's not even a sports movie, but I'll let it count bottoms. Yeah in twenty twenty three. Yes. I liked Butter. Yeah. It's a really good movie. for those that don't know, it's basically about these two high school girls that create a self defense fight club But they're really doing it just as a way to get to girls that they like. Yeah, it's in a high school all girl self defense fight club is sports. Yeah. So I think technically, Marsha Lynch is in it And that's sports sports. How much more sports do you want? There go And it's really, really funny. It is very funny. All right, good. Chris, favorite sports movie Everybody wants them. The Richard Linkladder movie from twenty sixteen. It's sort of like the spiritual sequel to Days the Confused And the sport is Baseball. It's a baseall movie. It's a collegeaseall movie. Yeah,es, of course. And so Brady's probably upset that he can't pick it. Brady favorite sports movie I was gonna pick two baseball movies, but both were cancellled because Timothy Buszfield got arrested on sexual assault charges. What's happening?am's no little. is happening? What's happening Okay. I'm going to go with Friday Night Lights, the original from two thousand four Um It madeade me feel things. It is the greatest soundtrack I've ever heard in a sports movie. Like the whole thing was scored by explosions in the sky. L Texas instrumental outlet They are I don't know, Just let him go. you know The whole got to catch. The whole thing just captured high school and you know, not knowing your future And knowing your future and suddenly being uncertain uncertain about it and you know, disappointment, success, you know, can you live up to expectations It's wonderful and it spurred the whole TV series, which was S essence, set in a different town, different team, but really carried that torch The movie was great. If you haven't seen the Friday Nights movie go back to it. Okay. And then because I'm the host, the rules don't apply to me. So my one is kind of two anyway, but it's different when I do it than when Brady does it. When Brady does it, it's insubordination And when I do it, it's a creative, it's poetic license And so I'm it's either mighty Ducks one and two Or it's a major league one and two. I feel like was too good of Major League. I think it was they blurred together The reason I'm doing both of them is because they blur together to me into one movie. I get the scenes confused because I like them both so equally. but I feel like those are two great movies with like Watching those two, if I were like laid up in bed with any percent of my body covered in burns, my fault or not. I would just want to like laugh And I think that maor the major Lag movies always are genuinely funny, like make me laugh. So That would be my recommendation. But we will get way deeper in on sports movies and what your favorite sports movie says about you on a future episode that you won't know, it's just gonna hit out of nowhere and you'll go whoa. they recorded this before. crazy. U next Gys I think's going to have to be my last one because I'm going to leave Pretty pretty soon. But let's have one more. Okay. O onene more voice I' to get me through. This is from Jalen. let's have a listen to what Jaylen has to ask. Too many Jails Hi Ci Imaterial feeds. My name is Jlena My kid has been sick this palf week, which means we've been watching on repeat My question for you guys is in the card universe equal people. So would lightning Mceen be considered like a track athlete or more like a marathon runner. I know they're supposed to be NASCAR, but then what would be the NASCR equivalent? in cars. Right Lo you and I mean it. B B let me it B sounds like there could soon be too many Jayals in the W NBA as well. I had even considered the fact. Okay, so here's the thing I gotta say, I have no kid So I've never seen cars. I got a couple like nephews who are super into cars. I just it's not, I've never seen it. How many films are there now in the Cars universe? Three I think there's threeeous planes. Yeah. I'm sorry, there's planes. Yeah planes is about planes That makes sense to me Has Mad Dog seen that? I think you might like that one. Doesn't Mad Dog love planes Okay, and so in the movie the planes two apparently. Whoa, okay Are we going to get to trains at some point That will be should Who, call me when that happens, please. I'd like to know Um, What So in cars, the cars are the people. Are there any people in the Cars cinematic universe? No, no. You never see You do not have drivers. They just have eyeballs on the windshield. Okay, and everybody is either a car or a truck Do we ever see like newscasters on the news? Are they cars? They are also cars. Okay. What type of cars give us the news? M Oh I think Because I'm not trusting a pickup truck, no offense. Cars three had a whole ESPN set up. I'm trying to think And the cars sit at a desk or they just at a desk. They sit at a desk behind des The stands at the racetrack are full of other cars. Okay. interestnteresting. Okay, That's really good visual representation. Thank you, Isabella, who just pulled two items from the office Hopefully not. Okay. And so yeah, I guess I would say they are track athletes. I figured this made it in because Brady's got a hot take. Does Brady have a hot take on the Cars universe? Once you start asking questions about the Cars universe, it gets very uncomfortable. In cars three, you suddenly have all of these new generation cars, these new race cars that are being madeade in laboratories. They're being made in the factories with aerodynamics and new technology and it's a threat to all of the old school cars. callalls into question very directly the fact that if these cars are just being created in a lab They're all just created. We have We want the cars to fuck But if the cars don't fuck so there's no baby cars, but then like everyone's just playing God You're just creating new generations of your own offspring by hand. Which you know it's very uncomfortable. Sure, but I think also if you couldn't if car sex doesn't exist, but then they're always my high school experiences I'm kidding you guys. U they Then I then it's then how else do you want them to do it? Are you suggesting that the that the cars should die with the cars? But then mortality is also a strange thing because the automobiles can be repaired But then you still have other cars that age. So are used car lots a thing because those become very problematic if If these cars are people So the whole thing I think really maybe they never they backed themselves into a log. Right. I think maybe we're taking a kids movie and we're applying a pretty tight scrutiny. I get what's I get you know where this bothered me more was in that whichever one that was that came out where the elements was it called elemental Yeah Yeah. But it did' it, but like the but they didn't act like their element. So like The fire one could like hold a piece of paper and you're like, well, that doesn't It should light on fire. This is fire. It like it didn't hold its own weight. Whereas the car is one, it's like we can look past the fact that except Brady, I guess, it bothers Brady that You never see the insertion of the gas thing into the into the tank. If you're going to build a world, build a world. Okay T you got it right. Cit all the way through. invvent languages for these things. Be beep honk honk. You know what I mean Okay cool jump by, I guess. Have fun in Australia. tell everybody if you see Anz Tell Anez I said hello. That's my friend who lives in Australia I absolutely will. And as a tease, the answer to the next question, My answer is ninety six quiteet of Bes by CKY. Okay, and what could it possibly be? Hell of a te It' be Bonvoyage, Chris. G everyone. Watch a lot of good stuff because that's was my experience to Australia and that and also that. Carlton, I assume, bye. This is the longest goodbye I've ever had. Okay And there he goes and leave every second of it in. Next question, we now know, what could it possibly be? What actually would be the funniest thing it could be? We should set him up for failure. and go someomeone wrote in to say, What song do you hate and you wish you could fight the band. Yeahes. When you run into a band, you'd like to fight them about this song I've Is it an email or a voice nameail? Saking of high school car seacks, what was it email to ninety six quiet beings? What do we got next? Well the thing is that sounds only good for the first fifteen seconds and then it just says you. It does drop in quality, but it is still a fine song. the original. Please read the next email. Jace. Jase asks us, what would you and the crew pick for your walk up music? For me, I always imagine stepping out of the on deck circle and into the batters box while the Golden Eyed sixty four theme plays. feeles dramatic, nostalgic, and just threatening enough parentheses to go over four. Yes, exactly And that is the fun part. Well, we know that Chris would go up to ninety six quite bitter beings by CKY and He's not going to hum it, I guess. Brady you wantan to humm it It just it. It starts out, d no, no, no, no, no, no, no no. And then it's bad after that. Well it's a little basic after that It's a little repetitive and there's a lot of the kind of sh like monster singing is what Isabella calls. But everyone exactly our age remembers that song from the original shopping cart sketch from Jackass. And here's the thing, you also don't need a walk up song to be good all the way through, which is why like right now by Van Halen would be good because that song great at the beginning. They're like Bound Yeah, that part I don't really need as much. I don't like that part as much as that for. But even then, if we're ranking parts of Van Halens's right now, which we are, that's what the podcast is I told Isabella that mine I would want it to have a strong beginning where the beginning would start and then once the quick intro was over, they would go now batting. It's Katie Nolan, who stinks and it would be. so the song that I chose. was a milkshake by Calice because it starts with that like down and down and down and down now batting. And then I just be walking up there with my bat over my shoulder, obviously. I might Watch college softball. they really might. It' they do a great job of picking theirs Um ner Henderson does that. Gunner Henderson walks to the for the Oriols, The Oriel short stab walks to the plate to sweet escape like Gen Stefani. Cute. And the intro oven is just the whole thing is. Tin never mad And the crowd once they stop, the crowd is then spurred to do the Wihoos. Now that we don't have to get into, but I for me That's a little panderry to me. You're trying to get the you want the crowd to do your thing What's wrong with that? Sometimes I like it whenhane Victorino did it I liked it But I just the Yahoo, wehoo, I'm not into Guen Stefani in that era. That's not the Guen Stefani my brain wants to preserve By the way, see didid you see there they're doing a residency or whatever at the sphere Have you seen any clips from it Heavy she's wearing the full like she's doing the hold I don know Can you cosplay yourself? I don't know. I do like that out of respect, we waited til Chris left to talk about this because I know he's got strong formative memories tied to that polka dot dress or whatever of hers. But the performance was just like, did you guys practice at all?'s kindind of upsetting, but We're being positive. Isabella, unfortunately, I don't know that you can say the name of the song you would use on the podcast. I look forward to you trying to explain this. It's a great pick I'm gonna say it anyway. Great. How about that? Okay you can bleep it. Chris Chris who's on a plane can figure it out. Okay. It's called the Vogue session. That's right by Kevin Jay Z Prodigy All right and I There's a very long intro where he's kind of setting up the vibe. So I would start it right when the beat drops and it basically goes M. And the thing, the word that I'm saying is the word that's in the title. C word C, word C word. A lot of that. It's so good. It good I would walk up. I would vogue my way to the plate. Yeah. I would get my bat and like move like Yes. You just like what is it? like dead drop or whatever it is into the batter's box Eactly Yeah, perfect. I would be going nuts in the crowd. Yeah losing my mind. We were listening to it in like the prechet when we were eating our Caesar salads and French fries girl lunch. and we were like trying to having fun scrolling to where in the song would be when she would walk out. It's I highly recommend it. Brady What do you got I want the pandering crowd. them sing you along. Okay I want to walk out to like a prayer by Madonna. What part? The beginning I think the beginning. And then once the drums kick in, I think then we're done. because I if I can get the crowd going, when you call my name? And they'd be doing one of these everybody clapping Yeah. I'm right because they have an absurdly long Like getting into the bot. Yeah, you've got to do your Nomar with your with all of your gloves and the tabs. Do the Ierro shirt tug? Yeah, of course, of course. You do that wasas it Bryce Harper does the like, up, down, up, down and out up? That's you Yeah, you got a lot of and that's I think that could be really nice. I also will say underrated part of that song is the like Just your voice there. That part's fun. That part's really intense and fun. So just something to think aboutady before your next g. subversive do I go with I go with the bridge? You know, it's just, you know, maybe keep maybe in the post season You switch, I don't know. I just wanted to shout out like like completely like changing The way people think about walkout music. Fernando Perez used to be in was an outfielder for the Rays in like two thousand eight. He had like two or three year run Really smart guy went to Columbia. W, used to walk out to the to the plate to the Price's rightite theme song I just ran him like, d du du d. And I asked him one day, I was like, So what's up of that? And He goes, It's just like the funkiest horns I've ever heard, man That's it. Nothing more than that. He just loved it Love the funk of the horns. I'm like, right. I think' been considered that it was horns. I guess of course it is I be associated with like Bob Barker and Drew Crey for so man, I forget, it's actually just funky as hell. I go deep into that song because they play that at the end too when you're seeing them celebrate the showcase. And that's sneaky, one of my favorite parts of the show because that's we see real humans experiencing real joy really awkwardly. Most of the time they just don't know where to go or what to do What if you did like the Wh who wantants to be a millionaire, like concentrated music? Oh yeah. ress me do do do do Well that's when you're just like what can throw the hitter what can throw off the pitcher as much as possible? If I know it's coming and he doesn't Walking out to Eric Caaping's tears in heaven And then when you hit a home run, you go, fininal answer. Sorry, I was still going on the millionaire I saw. All right, let's next Mike Booble you know So I'm sorry, is this just Michael Booble and he doesn't want to say. Now spelled Mike Booble. Boob Ellie. Hello, Katie and the casuals. Just some random thoughts I have while listening to the pod. A. Brady said goddamn ass before Katie said And I'm glad someone said something. It wasn't me who ruined it thir No and I knew you would take exception. I knew you would think that it wasn't a real curse word, but it is counts. Mike also chimes in swearing fucking rules. Okay, Mike. Niceice. This one is ransom. I think he means random. Ransom evergreen content But has Isabella ever heard of Steve Ho Ufat Steve Ho Y Fat, very famous former French professional basketball player. literally his name is Ho Uufat internally Chinese. And other various funny names. PS, the Oregon State Beavers, that will be funny in a second. just signed basketball player. Oh my gosh, Pinis. Peterus penis. It's Okay, so I looked it up, It's petteris. I know that's disappointing I know that's disappointing, but it is Petteris tenennis. It is Penis and that's funny enough I think it's okay that it's Petteris Penis is still very funny. Like I'd be annoyed if the IS was silent like Peni. Yeah if it was like Petteris peny and you go, well, that's I guess that's actually still pretty funny. Peny. He and Woody Johnson, doing the Sidererman Pen. Yeah. Pteris Petteris penis, penisy penis two, penis penisy penis junior on the beavers is is is funny. I'm so sorry. I regret to inform But it is very funny Um, Lvian is is Pateras is Latvian. So Mike Bubble asks if Isabella has heard An of the funniest names in the history of sports. Isabella, we're going to run through an impromptu two truths and a lie here. I havebody play somebody play the the theme song to the gameesh we were just talking about Bam bama Bampa And you go through the intro and I'll do it. od I have three names from each of basketball, football, hockey, and baseball history.

I'm going to go a Johnny Dick shot Johnny Dick Shot, real outfielder for the Pittsburgh Pirates even had a nickname they used to call him ugly Johnny Dick Shot So ugly dick shot. Dick Trickle, real human, but a race car driver. It's such a fake game because either way it's a real guy aliensan Dick Trickle, if you came up with that would be an HR complaint. If Brady put in front of you a guy a guy he came up with named Dick Trickle would be crazy A yi. good bit. good bit. U Next, should we do another voicemail Let's do another one from Andrew from Chicago Hi, Katian Casualties, this is Andrew from Chicago. As the college basetball tournament is ending, we're at that point where we get the special montage of amazing plays set to a mediocre song being vag because I'm not sure if you guys have the rights to actually say the name of the thing. Anways all these sports related speats you have accomplished in your lifetime whichich ones would you submit to be included in a montage of amazing plays that to a metediocre song I love be mean it Love you meana Andrew Um, o, of all the highlights of my sporting career Which ones would make it to a one shining moment Which we can't say, right? You can say We can say it. We just can't play it. And And why would we want to? It's a mediocre song. It I don't really I don't have I don't know if I remember o I remember one specific play that would make it in Unfortunately think I've already told the story of. that's few of them there are. But I was pitching once for I think it must have been a travel league summer League and a girl bunted. I think there was a runner on third girl bunted and I in it popped it up and I ran from the mound and dove and caught it and flipped my like feet flipped over my head But I had it, I caught it. And there was also a girl at first, I think we picked her off. So I think it was like a double play that ended the inning that we needed to get out of. So that would make it in. That's one of the only positive like specific positive sports memories I have. I'm sure I did other I'm sureocre stuff. I just oh, I don't know Um It's maybe something by Dunkan Chk Something just real D barely Exactly. It's exactly that. 'ause me running the bases I was fast then. I just don't have it anymore. I'll confess mineorready exists What do you mean by that My buddy Luke, many years ago cut together the highlight tape of our final football game together. The Thomas Johnson High School Homecoming game from two thousand two is on YouTube set to Creed's My sacrifice. Wow. And it is as mediocre nostalgic as possible. That's right at matches watch it every now and then. Have I tried to show it my kids and they've been very unimpressed? Every now and then being once a O what's not what's not depressing twice a year I'd say once once a year Once a year feels like a, you know, once every two years, you know Now you're in the wrong direction. I'm going to watch it way more than once a week. Once a week now. it was once a week. he was lying anyway. He wanted to sound regular. My answer is, I don't have One particular moment, I'll just say my entire I think it was my junior year sports season of playing tennis. I was undefeated Excuse me. I was uated Excuse me. song is because I think every song is very single cars I'm just getting. I don't know, mayaybe do like shake it off. counting cars is a good song And is that by Dishhuala? No counting blue cars. Counting blue cars is by Dishwuala. Counting cars is by snow patrol, snow patrol Mm. And here we are we're a music. cast What I've heard so far in this pod is that both Isabella and Chris are great at tennis and have never said it to each other. Right, We should be having them play against each other in a casuals tournament that Brady and I commentate. He's play by play. I'm color. have two things that can compete against each other, makeake them compete together. Battle of thexes Battle of the Sxes and our fan correspondent, Chris is Kids Oh, love that. I really think that we should be putting this event together, selling tickets. others would making merch. If's tennis, Russo would do a pregame show from it. Okay All right. Okay, next, what do we got We have from Ben. Hey, it's Ben. I'm just wondering Great st. I was just wondering. Who are some of y'all's favorite musicians or artists from your hometown Chris, you can include all of Australia. Oh what? That's not fair? It's a town. That's not fair at all Also, does that mean like can I do Boston? I don't have to do like Framingham. No, right? New Jersey Okay, yeah.so I'm not trying to out my hometown like that. Yeah, that's right. That's exactly right. We're protecting our data from the big centers. All right, Isabell, you go first then. All of Jersey. I chose Lauren Hill. Shout out. Shout out Lots of greats coming out of jersey. That's rightick. Okay. Chris picked silver chair He has a lot of them in here But we're not going to it was one, right? They said favorite. So silver chair and that's a great one. an on. Silver chair also more very Okay. Brady saying there was an S on it. Do you think that's because Brady has a list of five? Brady, who's yours I'm going to go with I will always go with OAR. OAR from Rockville, Maryland was like my house band growing up. like that was we saw them a dozen times in high school. Right. We saw them before they blew up. of course Cing back Coming back through Columbia they have to see them again. I'm psych. Oh Oh, good. no fun. No, no, crap on it, please. No. I'm gonna to have a good time. I'm gonna to have a good time and inving you, Kaden. Of a revolution. That song was every that crazy game of poker was everywhere. We all loved it and then heard it a million more times, you know, but I'm sure it's like a it's like a it's like a fun concert, right? They're like a jam band. Yeah. Yeah. So it's I totally understand that being a fun concert to go to U I mean, there's so many. And I won't list them, though the rules don't apply to me famously. So like Aerosmith does feel like you have to say Aerosmith right from Boston. Yeah I think I would I mean, if we're going with actual like my actual favorite, it's the Receiving u sirens. Now. Everybody's turning their head like a dog that doesn't understand. But if you ask me, that is the answer. It's the receiving under of sirens or it's bad rabbits, T twoo bands I very much love and recently got to see in concert together that aren't very similar Ecepted for the fact that they are both loved by me. And so would be those are my top answers U Okay, look at us flying through these and not wasting a moment. We've got more. fromom Kat via email. Hello, Katie and the casualty.. I wanted to reach out because I recently found your podcast via We're here to help. Shout out. Binging and I am binging the fuck at it I just listened to Isabella interviewing to be the head coach of the Kicks. This is my shin Perfect podcast for me is I am a woman and I would consider myself a casual fan of a lot of sports. My boyfriend would disagree in that I know quite a bit and he knows practically not. I love that. loveove that dynamic My question is, I've gotten into hockey over the past few years. I live in Maryland, so I'm awesome, editorialized So I've Yeah already added that. You can't just add that. I've latched on to the Capitals, with Ovie probably retiring soon. who do you suggest I pay attention to in terms of players to root for? Okay, so Kat, I wanted to make sure I got you a good answer on this. so I reached out to my hockey experts. I texted Pete Blackburn and DJ Bean, Mah hockey boys from from the What Chaos podcast, which I would recommend to any women that like hockey, it's like the number one podcast I would recommend U but you don't have to do that. just if you don't replace Us with them. stay with us I'll just tell you what they said. So they recommend Alexi P Is it Potos Pr Protus. Alexi Protus, Pete said Alexi Protus Rocks just a gigantic dude who is good and funny. Also Cole Hudson is a bit of a little shit and unsure of how good he's going to be at the NHL level, but he was great in college and on the US junior team and his older brother is one of the best defensemen in the league. So they'd say Protus, Hudson or Ryan Leonard. I reached out to my buddy, the Capitol's DJ and he gave me two completely different answers. That's so did he get Tom Wilson who is the defenseman and is just phenomenally good looking. This has been covered before. Bry just loves to talk about hot dudes. It's kind of becoming your corner I can live on that corner. Nice. Logan Thompson, the capital's goalie, topop five goalie in the league, and does huge amounts of charity work for the Humane Rescue Alliance in DC rescuing dogs. And then DJ said PLD, which is Pierre Luke Dubois, I believe, PLD high draft pick and every team he's been on has hated him. That's my guy. Maybe we don't take advice from DJ. DJ's got he's got that kind of taste. where you go, yeah, he likes him because everybody hates him. So But if that's your type of move, Kat then there is a You know, we gave you plenty of options. So hopefully one of them. and OV not retiring yet He still hasn't said anything, right So I assume he'll at least be back for the beginning of season, which I think I genuinely think he doesn't know. He just doesn't carery. He's not even to think about it until it's time I think He's like I'm going to play until I drop dead and then I'll go Allright, is that it or we have one more. Let's wrap it up here. Okay. C! Hi Katie and casuals. When I watch Jeopardy, I tend to treat it like I'm watching a sporting event. I'll choose a person to root for during the intros and then root for them throughout the game Do you do this too? If so, what to you is the ideal Jeopardy contestant What could be revealed in the intros or throughout the game that would cause you to root for someone? For me, the ideal contestant should be someone involved in academia, like a teacher, student, or librarian They should also be visibly nerd, slash socially awkward. Great example of this is recent champ, Liam Starn. spoiler alert recent competitready. No, I just meant for me, because I'm behind theVR. Sorry, keep going. On the flip side, I don't like rooting for people with too much charisma, like Buzzy Cohen. You shouldn't be allowed to be cool and good at Jeopardy unless you're cool because you're good at Jeopardy like Ken Side note that these rules don't apply to celebrity jebers. I don't want you to think I find you lacking charisma or that I was rooting against you. loveve you, mean it. That's so funny because my dumb ass you could see if you're watching this on YouTube was going Wait a second. Do I lack all charisma or am I? But thats thank you so much for saving it and for making me feel better, Paul. I appreciate it. I'm exactly the same way. Dan, also my fiance, exactly the same way The things that during their intros pique our interest is if they're from, I mean, if they say Aurora, I know there's a lot of them, but we immediately listen to see if it's Aurora, Colorado. If they're from your hometown, we're rooting for them. If they're from like if someone's from Massachusetts, I'll usually root for them unless they end up being really annoying in the way they move around the board or like the They're little ticks, you know and that's no offense. And I would never attack any regular person who was on jeopardy personally. But sometimes people have annoying ways of like moving. What's annoying way to move around the board? Just like if they're b used to go top to bottom you guys got too cool I don't m it's not going bottom to top. It's hunting daily doubles. And I don't mind when people hunt daily doubles by starting in those like lower middle categories and going across the board that way it used to bother me doesn't anymore. Now an annoying way is to just go like two hundred from this category. just going all over on a whim. Or if the way that they go like, And you're like, okay, get to the, we got to get to as many questions as there's just little ways that anoy things can be annoying And I think I'm kind of with Paul on the If they're over conffident, I sometimes get a little like All right Let's not let's all chill out and, you know, I also sometimes people in the inflection of the way they answer, they don't mean to, but they sound like they're like kind of talking down to you. have you ever heard that one where they'll go like what is? Machu Pichu And you go like, Wh is Aristotle? Oh, yeah, whoo is Aristotle? And you're like, okay, we could just And then me at home, I'm like, sorry bitch, I didn't know that. Yeah. I' like Wh is Aristotle? Is anyone gonna answer these God. So yeah, if they're from where I'm from and Dan loves a scared nerd. Nothing notothing makes Dan go. That's my guy. Like there have been times I've looked over and I swear I've caught him with Tears welling up in his eyes. lookingking at a dor trying to get through a story about their cat and having a hard time and Dan's just going like my love them I loveve them if w to win. It's the job doesn't really factor in. It's like looking at the TV like this Yes, he's just like, oh, he's such a cutie. I hope he gets all of them right. Like he just really is rooting for the underdog in that way. And this is another thing that's going to make me look like a dick because of where I'm sitting and where you're listening to this on a podcast. But if somebody says their job podcast host. I do go like I don't know why. it's just because it's Unfair, but you asked and it's my answer Um Pro athlete that would make a great Jeopardy great Jeopardy contestant athlete that would make a great jeopy. I mean, didn't Aaron Roders do pretty okay? I thought. He did. I even credit? Well, yes, technically. Somebody called into the radio today or yesterday to specifically tell me that the picture that you thought was kind of real looking of Aaron Rogers and his baby wife. They were like, you should know not real looking at all. So I just want you to know, people out there have beef with you me right? Yeah. I think was what were looking until you realize like it's defitely not hurt. Like it's it's not like and it's truly realistic. the question would be like, how quickly did you realize, you know, like how long did it take If you had to put an ar on I also did not get duped by this. Okay. I feel bad for people who did. Okay o, that's fair, then. Hey, listen, I thought those rabbits on the trampoline. I still do. I stand by that they were, and it's rude that anybody tried to tell me they were AI. Those dogs walking down the road. They were real. They had to go. Um, Brady, who do you think would be good at Jeopardy Andrew Locke is the one jumps out to me. Becauseuse' so sm. Because he's so smart and he got out of football early enough to protect his brain And much like this email, Andrew Luck has no charisma or discernible speech patterns This has no charisma No, you've heard Rulk talk or Rulk's about the deep voice. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow. just you want to you want scared nerd Yeah, like elite athlete, but with the outward display of scared nerd, I think Andrewuck would be the guy. I know who I want to see I want to see Paul Seinesessage Je Just I don't know where it's going to go, how he's going to take it. And I just think it would be interesting. Yeah, I think it's going to go right where they leave it. I don't see his energy doesn't necessarily move a needle, but I would like to see him lock in and try to answer ions Did you see Becky Lynch on celebrity Jeopardy? No This was not this season. this was a season or two ago, but I felt so They had to give her money so she could go into the final Jeopardy because she was But she was like, listen, I'm not I didn't grow up here, so I don't know any of this. And I was like, that's totally fair and fine. and it actually made me like her even more because I was like, why say yes to that? I would never say yes to go on a to go on a trivia show That's true. It's definly got to be a pro American bias. Yeah. I'm not going to go to Ireland and go on an Irish trivia show. be like I'm not gonna to know any of this. obbviously
