Casuals with Katie Nolan

Hello! It’s the podcast that was only $300 million away from saving the Connecticut Sun. Today, Katie and the Casualties take a look at a week full of sports headlines that AREN’T April Fools jokes, but might as well be - are the Golden Knights really hiring John Tortorella with 8 games left in the season? Did Tortorella really try to spear a fan with a hockey stick between panes of glass? Is the Phillies third baseman really suing his parents? Did LSU football just sign a 26-year-old rapper? Is Donald Trump really trying to move Madison Square Garden? Did Dana White… whatever?Then Katie and the team get into March Madness and the insanity of UConn’s buzzer beater, from the Duke hometown call to the UConn women’s team’s reaction, where the shot ranks on Chris’ list of all-time March buzzer beaters, whether the UNC men are getting a new coach, whether the LSU women are losing one, the Olympics banning transgender athletes for 2028 and Bob Costas genuinely thinking he’s the voice of reason, Tiger Woods’ car crash, his latest disappointment, and the concept of accountability, and an update on the latest in the 2026 World Cup, from the US team’s confusing loss to Belgium, and a ban on tailgating in New Jersey, to Jelly Roll being our nation’s chosen cultural representative - plus a special look at a historic day for the NWSL in Denver. And Chris wraps the show with What to Watch in sports this week.

Hello! It’s the podcast that now knows pigs can’t write poetry. Today, Katie bids a heartfelt farewell to Liverpool legend Mo Salah as he announces he’s leaving the team, and celebrates two historic moments in women’s sports - the new CBA for WNBA players, and the second straight national championship for University of Wisconsin women’s hockey. Then, comedian Michael Cruz Kayne joins the show [23:02] to talk about his new special “Sorry For Your Loss”, his love of WNBA Games, his daughter’s love of Alysa Liu, and no one’s love of the end of Game of Thrones, their relationship with Pablo Torre and his role in the future of sports journalism, Michael Jordan vs. Michael Phelps, the horrors of being a middle schooler that drove him to play sports, winning the 2019 Big Walkowski MVP, the viral story of the dogs, a much worse conversation about dogs, and a look at the Most Insane Sports Headlines of a week that was FULL of insane sports headlines, from soccer injuries to cocaine sharks. Alan Ritchson didn’t even qualify. Then Katie and the Casualties wrap with your e-mails and voicemails from the week.

Hello! It’s the podcast that truly does not play about its breakfast. Today, Katie and the Casualties take a deep deep dive into the international scandal that dominated the news cycle this weekend - Did Chappell Roan really ruin the birthday of the stepdaughter of Brazilian football star Jorginho? The team examines, hearing the sides and backstories of Chappell, Jorginho, Cat Cavelli, plus the relevance of third parties like Jude Law, Sia, Trixie Mattel, Will.i.am, TISM, Rey Mysterio, and Brazil’s least experienced mayor, all to find out: Who is truly the villain in this story? Then, Katie and the Casualties break down all of their favorite stories from the first weekend of March Madness, from the team dynamic of the Texas women and the shape of the Florida men, to near buzzer beaters for the Vanderbilt men and Clemson women. Plus, what exactly is High Point University? And who greenlighted Old Ball? The team then goes through this week’s edition of “Should I Have Said That Out Loud?” with the voices of Cam Skattebo, Luka Doncic, and more, and Katie’s reaction to actually sitting down and watching the Fanatics flag football game. And then as always, they wrap with What to Watch in the world of sports this week.

Hello! It's the podcast that isn't afraid to sing Sinatra with the reigning US Soccer Player of the Year. Today, Katie and the Casualties react to the World Baseball Classic final, Team Venezuela taking down the USA in front of a very pro-Venezuela crowd, whether or not the US is really trying to win if Mark DeRosa is the manager and Mason Miller isn't pitching, Rob Manfred's silver medal presentation, and what part of the human anatomy is best represented by the WBC logo, plus Katie's thoughts on the WNBA's new labor deal and Team USA's gold medal in Paralympics Sled Hockey. Then, the stars of the reigning NWSL champions - Rose Lavelle, Emily Sonnett, Jaedyn Shaw, and Lilly Reale of Gotham FC - sit down with Katie in front of a live audience [20:33] to talk about their 2025 championship run, whether or not they were truly the underdogs, Jaedyn's quotes making t-shirts, the feeling of three straight games with late heroics in the postseason, what brought the team together, how they follow it up in 2026, the investment in players after the league kept Trinity Rodman from leaving for Europe, what's truly changed about professional soccer for women in the United States over the last decade, the international stage and taking home the Shebelieves Cup again this year, competing against the world's best and developing at that level, the World Cup in the United States in 2026, and the growth of the game in the United States, before a crazy game in the studio where we find out how truly had the best time at the championship celebration, who's the best future coach, who's best with the aux cord, who's really mad they missed out on Halloween 2025, and so much more. Then the group takes questions from the studio audience, and Katie and the Casualties wrap with the week's best e-mail, and a South Dakota legend.

Hello! It's the podcast that may eventually Google what a Catamount is. Maybe. Today, Katie and the Casualties react to a busy Sunday night in sports with the WBC and The Oscars going head to head, Marty Supreme getting shut out, Kevin O'Leary wearing another bedazzled lanyard on the red carpet, Michael B. Jordan and Jesse Plemons' bromance, Leonardo DiCaprio's mustache, Pedro Pascal's lack of a mustache, and the tied award that put way too much weight on Kumail Nanjiani's shoulders. Then, Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament champion Andrew He stops by [16:06] to break down Katie's performance in Celebrity Jeopardy! on Friday, the advanced metrics behind her and Rachel Dratch, the difficulty of Celebrity Jeopardy! versus regular Jeopardy!, Tupac, Jay Cutler, pupusas, and the missed answers that keep a player up at night, the interview segment, making Ken Jennings proud, and why Jeopardy! contestants seem to have so much trouble with sports. Katie and the Casualties then touch on Team USA's sled hockey gold, Hofstra, Miami of Ohio, the Goo Goo Dolls, and the Men's NCAA Bracket, before diving into an in-depth look at the Women's Bracket. We asked the communications departments of all 68 teams in the tournament about the single most fun fact about their roster, and then picked the first-round matchups based on it. Who has a pet hedgehog? Who bakes? Who does Legos on road trips? Whose mom was in Degrassi? Who has a TikTok account strictly for Tall Girl Fashion? Are we blacklisted in Baton Rouge? And will any of this help us pick the winners? And finally, Chris wraps the show with a look at What to Watch in sports this week.
