Casuals with Katie Nolan

Hello! It's the podcast that may still be celebrating in the streets of NYC by the time you read this. Today, Katie and the Casualties toast the New York Knicks, Hello Kitty, Isabella, Colin Quinn, JP, Stavvy, Sam, Timothee, and all of the Knicks faithful for bringing home an NBA championship, and get into Isabella's rollercoaster of emotions and postgame experiences, the Game Four comeback, the Game Five clincher, Jalen Brunson's legendary status, Monica McNutt's comments about Taylor Swift in Game Four and Jalen's defense of her, the Knicks fans in the streets, their mayor, their bagels, and the pope, and whether anyone's opinions of Victor Wembanyama changed during the Finals. Then, the team breaks down the US Men's Team's 4-1 victory over Paraguay in the World Cup opener, the energy around the watch parties, the cheers, the flag-waving, and the reasons to believe we may actually have a chance this year, the commentary teams in English vs. Spanish, Alexi Lalas, and Rebecca Lowe's reaction to him dropping "The W Word" on American TV, the joys of watching foreign fans enjoy American culture and why THAT is the greatest possible display for the country's 250th birthday, the opposite of that and the UFC White House event, and Eric Trump reportedly fishing for insider betting information, the Stanley Cup Final and the Hurricanes wrapping up a championship in real time during recording, Carter Hart being no match the power of Bussi, a look at the Men's College World Series through the lens of the ten greatest names in the tournament this week, and a special nod to Auburn's Ja'Kobe Tharp, who happened to just become the fastest hurdler in world history on a Wednesday afternoon. Then, Katie and the Casualties wrap the show with What to Watch in sports this week, from a World Cup showdown with the Socceroos and the US Open at Shinnecock Hills, to a NASCAR road race on a naval base.

Hello! It's the podcast that wants you know that Tarps Off was not meant to be a Where's Waldo for sports bras. Today, Katie and the Casualties break down the terrors of deep sea rowing, the  NBA Finals' arrival in NYC, Isabella's Watch Party experience, Donald Trump being both the first sitting AND first sleeping president to attend a Finals Game, the crowd's reaction, justice for Avery Wilson, an update to the Brendan Sorsby controversy, the uselessness of the NCAA, and the declaration that it's apparently OK to gamble on college football now, the World Cup and travel restrictions for Iran and the referees, and the joys of living vicariously through Freddy, the German fan who's experiencing the American south for the first time at the World Cup. Then, Michael Schur (Parks and Recreation, The Good Place) and Joe Posnanski (The Baseball 100) stop by [38:30] to discuss their new book, "Big Fan", about what it means to be a sports fan across the world, mental health stigmas in education, watching football at a Buffalo Wild Wings in Dallas, 20-year-old darts prodigies and an entire arena full of fans dressed as various bobsled teams, chess fans, the Boston Red Sox, the Cleveland Browns, and why cheapness is worse than incompetence from an ownership group, Liverpool and the fan experience of English football, pickleball, WrestleMania, and the joys of learning there is no wrong way to be a sports fan (mostly), Rulon Gardner, gambling in sports, bandwagon fans, Yankee fans, leaving games early, foul balls, doing the wave, and the joys of watching every single game of your life on tape delay. Then, the team wraps with your best e-mails of the week, and a special nod to a Stanley Cup name we can all get behind.

Hello! It's the podcast that's flipping a grunt with K-Smog at the Stanley Cup Final. Today, Katie and the Casualties react to Isabella's Knicks taking both games in San Antonio, and discuss sympathizing with Wemby for his bad pass at the end of Game Two, the MSG workers' reactions to his arrival, the greatest sounds of the Knicks fans' celebration in Fame Two and the conspiracy theories that a certain predictions market may be astroturfing the celebrations, Timothée Chalamet's knees, Landry Shamet's existence, Josh Hart's take on ticket prices, Donald Trump's alternative take on ticket prices, the general idea of whether Trump's appearance will kill the entire vibe at Madison Square Garden and why no other present has ever gone to the NBA Finals because it's such a genuinely bad idea, why it's OK to make politicians have to prove their fanhood, and whether Knicks fans were right to revolt against Elmo. Then, the team breaks down an absolutely epic Game Three in the Stanley Cup Final, the twists, the turns, the tattoos, the reattached noses, Danhausen's role, the joys of a red hot Bussi, the "stars being out" according to the NHL's Instagram and Fernando Mendoza furiously cranking that... siren, three stories about Taylor Swift, including whether she's really getting married at MSG, who is paying $6,000+ for a folding chair she sat on, and whether Brooks Koepka's wife understands the concept of a Hall Pass,  a look at two Dodgers' refusal to participate in Pride Night and what it says about who they don't want as their fans, and then every story we just aren't talking about but probably should have. And finally, Katie and the Casualties look ahead to what to watch in sports this week, from the opening of the World Cup, to a Miles-Fudd WNBA showdown and the start of the Men's College World Series.

Hello! It's the podcast would've just let Brenden Aaronson have the weekend off. No Biggie. Today, Katie and the Casualties check in on Isabella before the opener of her first NBA Finals and get into the top storylines, best ways to watch, best gameday fit options, Jalen Brunson throat tattoos, Landry Shamet vibes, bandwagon fans, and a gameday cocktail of gin and Modelo, before discussing the Women's College World Series, NiJa Canady's gem, how Texas landed on "eating ladybugs" as a good luck ritual, and Jordy Frahm nearly throwing a no-hitter in the WCWS WHILE PREGNANT, the vibes around the USMNT after their win over Senegal on Sunday, and Brenden Aaronson getting married during the team's training camp and being late for his own rehearsal dinner. Then, comedian JP McDade stops by [29:42] to talk about his latest basketball injury and having to miss the Big Walkowski this year, his girlfriend's response to the description of a ruptured patella tendon, the biggest headlines from his last appearance on Casuals and how poorly they've aged (from us laughing that the White House said they might host a UFC event to  Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson maybe dating?), the Knicks' Finals appearance and JP's fandom, how the city has reacted, embracing Mike Brown, imploring Mitchell Robinson to shoot free throws underhand, being terrified of a watch party, being unsure of how the MSG crowd will send, his experience with James Dolan's spy tech, the potential disaster of a game five concurrent with a World Cup game at MetLife, Wemby taking the Spurs to see Obsession on an offday, his picks for the series, Air Corgi's picks for the series, and why we can't trust stubby English dogs, the Stanley Cup, the Sphere, ESPN's Chirp Line, the World Cup, and the death of LIV Golf. And the team wraps with your best voicemails on your best tall hot sports dads.
