Episode Overview

This episode of Casuals blends playful sports banter with smart pop culture commentary. The crew covers the latest in football (and its dumbest moments), wild baseball playoff stories, meme-worthy pop star feuds, and somehow a deep dive into Taylor Swift’s most wink-nudge lyricism. Special guest Tara Davis-Woodhall, gold medalist and world champion long jumper, joins to talk about the new Athlos women’s league, jump dreams in Times Square, and what really happens in the Olympic Village.

Main Discussion Segments

1. Pop Culture & Sports: Taylor Swift and Charli XCX “Beef”

(03:35 – 16:41)

• Katie and Isabella break down the rumored feud between Taylor Swift and Charli XCX, specifically whether Charli’s song "Sympathy is a Knife" is a diss track and if Taylor’s "Actually Romantic" is a response.
• The panel largely agrees that the supposed "diss" aspect is exaggerated online, with Isabella remarking:

  “It sounds like a woman who's being very honest about her insecurities… not a diss track at all." (07:51)

• Katie jokes about the wild depths of Swiftie numerology and internet theorizing, such as whether Taylor used track timings to signal Travis Kelce's, uh, “measurements”:

  “If it were that Taylor Swift purposely coded in the size of her famous fiancé’s penis... Wouldn’t you then go like what? I like almost hope it’s not true.” (16:11)

2. NFL: Chiefs Lose and Dumb Football Moments

(16:41 – 47:41)

• Discussion of the Chiefs losing to the Jaguars, Taylor Swift lore, and Travis Kelce stats turning into a numbers-turned-meme.
• Trevor Lawrence’s game-winning scramble and the Jaguars' rising profile.
• Reference to Heidi Gardner on ManningCast and reactions to wild plays.
• Talk of devastatingly dumb moments, like players dropping the ball before crossing the goal line (Amari DeMarcado, Adonai Mitchell), and Vikings' kicked field goal hitting a camera cable.
• Katie’s relatable moment:

  “When I saw him fall down and then try to get up and... fall again... most I’ve related to a football player where you’re like, just try to fix the mistake you’ve just made and immediately make another mistake.” (18:23)

3. Noteworthy NFL/College Stories

(47:41 – 64:45)

• Mark Sanchez’s Arrest: Summary of the bizarre story where Mark Sanchez is both victim (stabbed) and alleged aggressor (attacked a truck driver), with Trump weighing in:

  “I feel bad... He’s a nice guy. I don’t know what happened.” — Donald Trump, via Newsmax (34:14)

• Revisiting “The Butt Fumble” as Isabella is introduced to its lore.
• Dueling moments from college football:
  • Pat McAfee’s $300,000 field goal contests: “What are we doing? Whose money is this?” (64:00)
  • Theo Von’s awkward attempt to flirt with Jess Sims on College GameDay; the panel cringes along.
  • UNC and Texas losing, with jabs about bad quarterbacking and failed ad campaigns.

4. MLB: Playoff Drama & Moments

(53:02 – 61:13)

• Blue Jays routing the Yankees—rookie pitcher Trey Savage’s debut (10 Ks through four innings), Toronto’s big bats, and schadenfreude for Yankees misery.
• Mariners win a home playoff game for the first time since 2001, emotional moments in the crowd, and good vibes for Seattle fans.
• Phillies-Dodgers, Shohei Ohtani’s struggles at the plate, and the first Japanese-born win/save combo in the same playoff game.
• Phillies’ “999 Challenge” mini-kits (nine beers, nine mini hot dogs for $54.99) receive panel mockery:

  “You’re insulting your fans. They can do full size.” (58:53)

• Brewers/Cubs: focus on Brewers’ flamethrowing rookie Jacob Misarowski and more playoff oddities.

5. WNBA & Women's Sports Surge

(51:03 – 53:02, 66:42 – 83:30)

• Las Vegas Aces up 2–0 in the WNBA Finals; first seven-game finals format.
• Plans for deeper analysis with Sarah Spain upcoming, especially regarding league growth and the CBA.
• The shift in investment and visibility into women's sports and the sense that “women’s sports are finally having a real money moment.”

---

Interview: Tara Davis-Woodhall on Athlos & the Athletic Grind

(66:42 – 83:30)

1. Why Are Track Athletes So… Hot?

• Katie opens directly:

  “Why are women in track and field so fucking hot?” (66:43)

• Tara laughs, credits the community, and notes "beef" does exist but so does camaraderie.

2. Launching Athlos: All-Women Track League

• Athlos is a new annual women’s track and field event, giving stars a bigger post-Olympics platform.
• Alexis Ohanian (Serena Williams’ husband) founded Athlos to listen to athletes.
• Tara’s Times Square dream comes true:

  “My dream is to compete in Times Square. Like, that would be insane. And he said, okay... and a couple months later, [he] puts his word out there and he does it.” (68:08)

3. Olympic and World Champion Life

• Tara describes winning gold as “a feeling you can’t really describe” (71:50).
• The post-Olympics experience: emotional whiplash, endorsements, and the challenge of returning to normal.
• The delight in mixed Olympic-Paralympic national events and finally being able to compete/travel with her partner, Hunter Woodhall.

4. Paris Olympic Village: The Honest Truth

• It “sucked”—subpar beds, lack of air conditioning, and bland food (“boiled chicken”). Tokyo was better food-wise.
• Yet the emotional energy and exposure to elite athletes like Steph, LeBron, and Coco were highlights.

5. The Future for Women in Sport

• Tara notes the impact of finally seeing women pushed into the sports spotlight, not just Serena Williams but also herself and her peers.
• “It’s wild and it’s super special... I just want to be there for all the other little girls.” (80:59)
• Katie wants Alexis Ohanian to “get her to the moon” next for long jump.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Katie, on cryptic Taylor Swift lyrics:

  “Girls, I don’t need to catch the bouquet to know a hard rock is on the way...” (13:14)

• Isabella, on learning about the Butt Fumble:

  “Bro, I’m dumb. I’m looking at the wrong team. That’s why.” (38:38)

• Katie on life after sporting mistakes:

  “He just gave up and rolled onto his back like I would have: just like full turtle…” (18:23)

• Tara Davis-Woodhall, on her journey:

  “It is a feeling you can’t really describe. I’ve been dreaming of this moment since I was four years old.” (71:50)

• Katie when learning the NFL’s camera cable goalpost incident:

  “It’s like the camera’s always there. The camera’s not like there. It’s not part of the game. It’s part of the outside of the game, which is not to interact with the inside.” (45:03)

Hey Isabella, did you see that? Alona Mar is a Barbie doll.

[Brady]

Oh really?

[Katy Nolan]

That's cute. You have to look it up right now and then we have to get your reaction because I have to say it like fundamentally changed. It healed something in me. Barbie.

[Isabella]

Let's see. Rugby star. Aw, with the little ball too. That's so cute.

[Katy Nolan]

Isn't that amazing?

[Isabella]

I love that. I wonder, do they come with different outfits?

[Katy Nolan]

Probably. I think so. They usually do. When LeBron. Hey Chris, when you bought LeBron's Barbie, did it come with. Did it come with different outfits for your little LeBron?

[Chris]

Just the one.

[Katy Nolan]

Whoa.

[Isabella]

I see a Barbie dollhouse in the background. Chris, what else do you have there?

[Katy Nolan]

Another visual bit from Isabella.

[Brady]

Oh, God damn it.

[Katy Nolan]

Start the podcast. Hello, and welcome to Casuals, the sports podcast. That is a sports podcast, right? Technically. But in certain lights, you might be like, is that just like a regular podcast about pop culture? Are those just four best friends plus me talking? Is that good?

[Isabella]

Wait, who's the.

[Katy Nolan]

One, two, three, four. You and me. Yeah, we said four best friends plus, plus me. I was quoting the listener. You might just be like, is that just four best friends and me talking? I wanted them to feel included. Oh, yeah, that's exactly right. And please do.

[Chris]

Makes sense.

[Katy Nolan]

It's that podcast. It's Tuesday, so the casualties are here. You heard them. Isabella. Hi. Brady. Hello, Chris.

[Chris]

Hi.

[Katy Nolan]

And. And we're just gonna chat about some sports news if you wanna reach out to us. Casualswithkatynolanmail.com is our email. 646-801-0043 is our voicemail on IG and TikTok. We are at Casuals, the podcast. We have sports news today. Taylor Swift. A little bit later in the podcast, we have Tara Davis Woodhall, the gold medal Olympian, is here. We talked to her for about 15 minutes. She's doing a long jump in Times Square, which is insane. Hilarious as a person who commutes in this city, but insane. What a beautiful visual. So she's doing that this week. So she came by here and she's just very cool. She's very cool. And we got to the bottom of why track and field athletes are also hot. I mean, truly, one of my main takeaways from the Paris Games. We just have a beautiful track and field team, but before that, we have a lot to get to. Taylor Swift dropped the album of the century. Isabella.

[Isabella]

Yes.

[Katy Nolan]

Where are you? I am so I am at the period where I am intaking everyone's opinions about this album. I don't know that I'm ready to output, but I am in taken like crazy. And so what. How are you feeling?

[Isabella]

I'm on. I'm on the same page, but also, I have not listened to the album.

[Katy Nolan]

What?

[Isabella]

I personally. I just. I don't personally have an interest in listening to the album.

[Katy Nolan]

Okay, fair enough.

[Isabella]

Am I allowed to say that you are okay? But I have heard parts of, like, some songs because everyone's talking about it and stuff. But, yeah, I. I'm sorry. I love, you know, love that people love Taylor Swift.

[Katy Nolan]

Right? You know that is. Is that how we phrase it? Because I've been looking for the phrasing to go. I'm happy you like it.

[Isabella]

I'm happy you're happy.

[Katy Nolan]

I'm happy you're happy. If you like it, I love it. You know what I mean? But like. But not. But I am not there. I was wondering, Chris and Brady, you know how we sometimes will help show Isabella things in sports that she's not familiar with. I was. I was wondering if when you heard that there was Taylor Swift and Charli XCX beef, if the two of you were like, I know what they're talking about, or if you had absolutely no idea or context about it at all.

[E]

I was psyched that I know who they are.

[Katy Nolan]

Okay.

[E]

It's like I feel so inside on this.

[Katy Nolan]

You're like, I know both those names. Check. I win. Okay. Chris.

[Chris]

Very much in the same boat as Brady. Know who they are. Don't really know anything about their beef.

[Katy Nolan]

Isabella, this.

[Isabella]

Oh, this is. Well, so this is what I have been seeing online.

[Katy Nolan]

This kind of feels like your time to shine. I mean, you can. We can explain away to the boys.

[Isabella]

Okay.

[Katy Nolan]

This is.

[Isabella]

Okay, so sympathy is a knife.

[Katy Nolan]

Well, no, go back sooner. Earlier than that. They. They did a show or a tour together where Charlie opened for Taylor on a few dates, I believe. Oh, yeah. And she was then quoted as saying that. That it felt like she was performing to an audience of 5 year olds. She just was. You could tell. She was like. It's just. It was an audience I had to adjust to. I wasn't used to it. I've never performed for like an audience of 5 year olds like that. And that was taken great offense. Whether she meant it that way or not. I don't know Charli XCX like that. So we're just gonna kind of go treetops on this. So that happened. Taylor Swift fans responded and they didn't like it. Then I think that there was a. That's when we get to Sympathy is a knife, Isabella.

[Isabella]

Yes. Sympathy is a knife. It came out on Brat. So I had. I was aware. I didn't realize at the same time, I guess that was when Taylor Swift and Matty Healy from the 1975 were dating boys.

[Katy Nolan]

Any reference point, show of face that you recognize that name?

[Chris]

No, only as Taylor Swift's ex.

[Katy Nolan]

Oh, okay. Okay, okay.

[Isabella]

And then Charlie XCX is, well, now married to, I think, the drummer from the 1970s.

[Katy Nolan]

Someone else in the band.

[Isabella]

Yeah, yeah, someone else. So, like, she was in the similar circles I guess they were in similar circles. Now people are thinking that sympathy. People are thinking that sympathy is a knife.

[Katy Nolan]

Right.

[Isabella]

Is a diss track. But if you listen to the song, in my opinion, it does not sound like a diss track.

[Katy Nolan]

It's not a diss track at all.

[Isabella]

It sounds like a woman who's, like, being very honest about, like, how Insecurities. Her insecurities. And how, like, you know, like, for example, a famous line. Do we have it here? Oh, my God. Don't want to see her backstage at my boyfriend's show. Fingers crossed behind my back I hope they break up quick. That's not the best line to reference here. But you know what? When she's basically like. It's basically so hard because you're everything that I'm not. And it, like, really digs into my insecurities. And that's kind of like the theme of the song.

[Katy Nolan]

Right.

[Isabella]

She's not saying, like, I hate this bitch, whatever. And so to me, that's more of, like, a personal reflection on a certain emotional experience you're having with this other woman, which I think a lot of.

[Katy Nolan]

Women can relate to, because I couldn't be. I couldn't even be her if I tried. I'm opposite. I'm on the other side. I feel all these feelings I can't control. Oh, no. Who don't know why all this sympathy is just a knife. Yes. Great. Thank you. Yes.

[E]

So I need diss tracks to be more direct.

[Katy Nolan]

Yeah. I just. I don't know, man. I saw people do. Okay, but I saw people online, like, earnestly comparing this to Kendrick and Drake and being like, why did we spend the whole summer breaking down their beef? But we can't talk about blah, blah, blah, blah. And I'm just like. Because the. It's not the same. I don't think you guys.

[Isabella]

And also, I think a lot of people. And obviously this. I don't know. I don't think any of us will ever really know. Are People are pulling from that. Apparently, like, there were things that were said behind the scenes and that Charlie was, like, making fun of Taylor or something, like. And it's like, you don't know that. I don't know that.

[Katy Nolan]

But you don't know that, and that's parasocial. E, sorry. E, E, E, I'm so sorry, but it's true. You can't. You don't know. We don't know.

[Isabella]

All I know is this song.

[Katy Nolan]

Right? We can all write fan fiction in our heads, but that doesn't mean you get to go and say that now that's the canon. It's fan fiction. So we have to stick with what we know. And this is what we know. And it feels to me. I'm annoyed. I'm. Now I've reached the level with this album of. With Taylor for the way that she handles her. Her. Her conflicts with other female artists. It's starting to bug me. It's just like a. A such a simple unders. Like, misunderstanding of an interaction that you're just like, what? Why are you still harping on this? Like the last album when she capitalized K, I and M in that song so that, like, people knew for sure she was still talking about Kim Kardashian was like, what do we. What is this? I don't like this.

[Isabella]

I don't even know about that one. Oh, and then another thing for you guys to know. So her song, Taylor's song actually Romantic. Why another People think it's a response to Charlie Sympathy. A knife is because Charli XCX has a song called Everything is Romantic off of Brat.

[Katy Nolan]

So now that's the new. The newest chapter of the beef, you guys. That's where we arrive, where we are. Which is that Taylor has this song called Actually Romantic on this album where she says, I heard you call me boring Barbie when the cokes got you brave high fived my ex. And then you said you're glad he ghosted me. It's just.

[Isabella]

What do you. What are you guys thinking right now? Just for audio listeners, which is what you guys are. I don't know if there's no other kind of listening other than audio. Brady is scrunching his face and Chris looks confused.

[Katy Nolan]

What if we make him say words?

[Isabella]

Oh, yeah, that could happen too.

[E]

Because I like when Kendrick's just like, you are a pedophile. And it's very correct. And I can understand what is happening here without needing to know the lore.

[Katy Nolan]

Yeah, it sounds like that probably is exactly what happened. And also it sounds like it's. Is that okay? Is a woman allowed to dislike you? Is that okay? Because as a woman, I do. I have felt. I will say very quietly that I have felt like it is illegal to dislike you. I don't. I don't know. I'm trying, you know, But I now know way too much about Travis Kelce's dick. I, as a woman who works in sports, am like, I'm not supposed to know any, but yet I know nothing of him sexually. Isn't that interesting?

[Isabella]

Would you like to.

[Katy Nolan]

No, I'm Just saying if you were gonna write a song about him, you know, and it was about how you love that D. Well, then tell me about it as if it's been experienced. It was just like a. A bunch of winking at the camera, like. And a penis. Mine has a penis. Theoretically, I'm gonna do stuff to it. Winkin. But no ever. Like a. Talk of the way he holds her in any. Whatever.

[E]

Just a very cryptic description of it.

[Katy Nolan]

Sure. Kind of more talk about these lyrics to it. Okay, I'll pull these up right now. The song is called Wood. Song's called Wood. Forgive me. It sounds cocky. Hematized me. Dickmatized me is what that is. I don't. Dickmatized me. And opened my eyes. Redwood tree. Okay. Big girthy forest item. Redwood tree. It ain't hard to see. It's nice. Big. I guess his love was the key that opened my thighs. Isabella. And now for our audio listeners. Not that there's any other type. Isabella's hand is clasped over her mouth.

[E]

Respect to the mere density of how many penis metaphors. She got into like two lines of text.

[Katy Nolan]

Girls, I don't need to catch the bouquet to know a hard rock is on the way. Now listen, I've. Oh, my God. Wait, we're not even sorry. Now listen. I have heard people say, can't she have fun? Can a girl just write a silly little song? Absolutely, babe. Absolutely. I love a silly little song. This is this. She is too accomplished of a songwriter for this to be the level of silly. This is Sabrina Carpenter, you could say, writes silly. She's silly in her songs and it's endearing. It's sweet. It's. She does this. She alludes. But it's not. It's so. And baby, I'll admit I've been a little superstitious. The curse on me was broken by your magic wand. Oh. Seems to me does his vibration.

[Isabella]

Now a magic wand is kind of.

[Katy Nolan]

Does his vibrate is. Oh. Questions need to be asked.

[Isabella]

You and I had very different dismantle associations. I was saying because magic wands are thin and so that's not what to you.

[Katy Nolan]

That's. Grow up. You know?

[Isabella]

Sorry.

[Katy Nolan]

It's okay. Where are we in this? Seems to me that you and me, we make our own luck. I'm gonna cringe. Chris is gonna disappear into a puff of bats. Are you ready? New heights of manhood. I ain't got a knock on wood. N and H capitalized in new heights. The name of his podcast. What are we doing, you guys? That's the subtlety is a knife. This is. That's crazy.

[E]

Does Dan drop casuals in his dress?

[Katy Nolan]

No, he did drop it on his appearance on the Rich Eisen Show. So if you're here from that shout out, that's my husband and he's got a hard microphone in his pants. Bam. Look, if you love the album, please love the album. Don't let us stop you. I was stopped dead in my tracks by some of these lyrics. And you're right, maybe I don't get the bit and I'm. I. There's so much going on in the world that I have to just go, okay, I laughed at that. I laughed at that. And I'm moving on. I wish them all the best. Chief's loss.

[E]

Do you need the coded lore about the actual size of it that she has embedded into the track placement and length of the song?

[Katy Nolan]

No. What's. No. What's the theory?

[E]

No, but you're like, no, I don't want this.

[Katy Nolan]

No, but I'll turn sideways but say it.

[E]

The.

[Katy Nolan]

The.

[E]

The rumor, the innuendo going around on the Taylor Swift tick tock. Is that so? This is track nine of the album no Chance. And the song is 2 minutes and 30 seconds long. And that coded to 23 centimeters is exactly 9 inches long.

[Katy Nolan]

That would. Is that not annoying?

[E]

The numerology of it or the.

[Katy Nolan]

If it. If it. If it were that Taylor Swift purposely coded in the size of her famous fiance's penis? Are we. Is this not sounding crazy as it's coming out of my mouth? If that were found to be true, wouldn't you then go like what? I like almost hope it's not true? Because what?

[Isabella]

Yeah, like I don't wanna know.

[Katy Nolan]

Why would I need to know that? Again, I don't need you to describe it to me like you've looked at it. I want you to sing to me like you've used it. The Chiefs lost Owen 1. Since we know the size of vaguely Travis Kelce's penis, it's flustering. He caught seven balls divided by the 61 yards and that's seven points.

[E]

That's like roughly 0.9. So.

[Katy Nolan]

Yeah. How'd you do that? Wait a second.

[E]

Yeah, that's SAT math right there.

[Katy Nolan]

Wait a second. Brady can do. You can do division on those types of numbers, like that two digit number. Yeah. This guy was seven by 61. How did you do that?

[E]

It's like rounds to 0.9.

[Katy Nolan]

Is this hard for anyone else? Someone else, please express how crazy this is. No, you can all do this?

[Chris]

No, I definitely can't.

[Katy Nolan]

I might be the dumbest lady I hate.

[Chris]

I don't even think. I don't even try to do it.

[Katy Nolan]

Yeah, exactly. So when Brady just did that, I was like, should I have been trying you at least? Yeah, you crazy.

[E]

Travis Kelsey's stat line intentionally give away the size of his penis.

[Katy Nolan]

Oh, whoa. Well, the Jaguars won 31 to 28, so maybe if you subtract 28, which is 3, you know, you'd get 328 from 31, then that is how many inches. I heard he has a 3 inch penis.

[E]

Numbers don't lie.

[Katy Nolan]

Allegedly. How about Trevor Lawrence on that last play? I love the accidental typo we have in our doc that says Lawrence, Trevor Lawrence.

[Brady]

There's like so many W's in there.

[Katy Nolan]

Falls down, gets up, scrambles. Game winning touchdown with 23 seconds to go crazy. When I saw him fall down and then try to get up and like slip and immediately fall again. Oh, my God. It was the most I've related to a football player where you're like, just try to fix the mistake you've just made and like immediately make another mistake and you're like, oh, shit. But then instead of just giving up and rolling onto his back like I would have just like full turtle, he gets up, runs, then like identifies the defenders coming at him. So he changes, jukes himself into the fucking end zone, scores a touchdown. That was awesome.

[E]

It's incredible.

[Katy Nolan]

Amazing.

[E]

Chris Jones from the Chiefs just standing in the middle of the field like he thought the play was over. Just hanging out.

[Katy Nolan]

Yeah, he kind of gave up on that, huh? Who's that? There's also that the. The defensive player on Jacksonville last week, he intercepted the 49ers twice.

[E]

Devin Lloyd.

[Katy Nolan]

Devin Lloyd. What a year he's having.

[E]

99 yard touchdown return.

[Katy Nolan]

Crazy. 99. That's as Heidi. Oh, did you see Heidi? Heidi Gardner was on the Manning cast for the game and she was on for the pick six that they ran back. Patrick Mahomes from the Chiefs threw an interception and it was returned for a touchdown. 99 yards. And Heidi was on camera for it in between two, sandwiched between two fucking Mannings. And she was like, no, no, the other way. No, no, not that. No, not all.

[E]

Frantically writing post it notes in real time.

[Katy Nolan]

I was looking to see if they came up, but no. God, she was like, no, no, no, no. And then it happened. And then she goes, that was like all of the yards. And she's right. It almost was all of the yards. Pretty brutal. The Jaguars are good question Mark Duvall, I know. Do you guys remember that? It was a million episodes. Goes last season. Duvall, that's their new head coach, that. That dork. But he's taken these like crazy calls. He's like going for it. He's kind of exciting, but that can't get over that.

[E]

He looks like he's aged 10 years already since taking that.

[Katy Nolan]

I love when that happens to a coach. When a coach starts working and you like McDaniel, you were like, oh, boy, you're tired.

[E]

Like Mike now versus Mike when he took that job. He's like, Obama end of term versus Obama beginning of term.

[Chris]

Just the difference.

[Katy Nolan]

Also, Spoelstra. I feel like watching Spoelstra through those. A couple of those years, you were like, yo, he got old very quickly. Speaking of Which. Kind of. LeBron has an announcement today at noon. This episode will have been recorded right before that and it'll be out right after that. So I don't think he's retiring. But it doesn't. We're not gonna. We don't have that answer. And if he. We're sorry. We'll talk about it on Thursday's episode with Sarah Spain. Very exciting.

[E]

I checked in with the NBA radio staff, like, that announcement is in 90 minutes. And they said we have no idea what it is. I. I worry it could be groundbreaking or it could be full. Al Capone's vault. It could be like, hey, I have a new shoe coming out.

[Katy Nolan]

Great. Yeah, it could be. Hey, check out my new commercial with Kevin Hart for On behalf of Bleep out. Bleep that out. Bleep out the word. The rocks. Movie came out much hyped. He got that big long. I don't remember how many minutes, but I know it was ridiculous. I'm gonna guess 15 minute standing ovation at one of the film festivals that it premiered at.

[E]

Nine and a half minutes.

[Katy Nolan]

Sorry. Nine and a half minute. Thank you. Is that wink wink.

[E]

That was wink wink. I don't know what the actual number was.

[Katy Nolan]

The Smashing Machine is the name of the movie. It's about MMA fighter Mark Kerr. It bombed in its opening weekend. Makes just price for this $6 million. Oh, no.

[Isabella]

That's a lot of money to me.

[Katy Nolan]

Right? But then hear me out to a movie. Not a lot of money.

[Isabella]

But it could also be because it came out the same weekend as Taylor Swift.

[Katy Nolan]

Taylor Swift's what? Don't think Taylor Swift's what?

[Isabella]

The release party.

[Katy Nolan]

Showgirl have the same. If your movie that is supposed to Be this hu. Draw can't pull because Taylor Swift put a music video at the end of a commercial for an album and sold tickets to it, then I don't think it's that good of a movie or people just don't care. I never understand why, like, box office numbers. It's like, it just. That only measures if you wanted to get out and go see it. The second weekend's more interesting to me because then it means, like, people talked about it enough to keep people going to see it. Yeah, but it didn't sound like that many people saw it. Taylor Swift release Party of a Showgirl. It's such a creative name. $34 million in its. In the. In its opening week. And I don't think it's. Is it doing more weeks? I thought it was like a limited. Which is why you bought all six tickets, right, Brady?

[E]

I bought six tickets, man.

[Katy Nolan]

She also is doing. On itunes or. I think that's an old reference. I just said there. Apple Music, whatever. She's doing it like, this is available for 24 hours. These special versions. Doesn't that feel like blatant market manipulation?

[E]

I mean, can it be market. She's just selling something.

[Katy Nolan]

Right. But for 24 hours only.

[E]

She's not a stock.

[Katy Nolan]

During the first week of a. Yeah, but it. But in a world where we use numbers to define success and other artists are like, I didn't achieve my thing. I don't know. Just a question. God.

[E]

I worry that the thing with Johnson, the thing with the Rock, I feel like didn't read the room very well. Like, MMA is a really tough sell right now. When you have, like, this weekend was also the announcement of, like, the date of the UFC fight on the White House.

[Katy Nolan]

And what is that again? I want to put that in my calendar. I. June something. It's June. June.

[E]

June 14th or something. It's not on the 4th of July.

[Katy Nolan]

Wait, where is it in June? We actually kind of need to know.

[E]

It's not Juneteenth.

[Katy Nolan]

Okay. I just need to, you know, I just need to make sure.

[Brady]

Immediately. I was like, I just need to make.

[Katy Nolan]

Okay. June 14th. Fucking Christ.

[Chris]

It'll read Trump's 80th birthday.

[Katy Nolan]

Good God, he's old. Oh, good. Too many more. Okay.

[Isabella]

What's Trump's zodiac sign?

[Katy Nolan]

Good question. Don't mind.

[Isabella]

Don't mind.

[Katy Nolan]

One Battle after another only did 11 million in its second week. I thought this was supposed to be the greatest movie of all time. Everybody's talking about it. I thought, Chris, have you seen it yet?

[Chris]

I'm in the middle of a move right now, so I haven't really been.

[Katy Nolan]

Doing anything we should hear.

[Brady]

Yes.

[Katy Nolan]

I should be looking at the fact that it's an empty. Except for that giant Barbie Dreamhouse.

[Isabella]

Yeah.

[Katy Nolan]

Nothing in the room.

[Chris]

That's the only thing that I've unpacked so far.

[Katy Nolan]

It gets unpacked first. Yep. The Rock said, in our storytelling world, you can't control box office results. But what I realized you can't control is your performance and your commitment to completely disappear and go elsewhere. And you know what? I'm with him on that. It's not your job to get people out to go see the thing. Your job is to do your best job you possibly can in the thing. So until I see it, I won't be criticizing the film. I don't know. I think it could be good. It's a sad story, right? Yeah.

[E]

It's an A24. So, like, the bar is pretty high.

[Katy Nolan]

Yeah. I think the. The. And I mean this in that I know what they do is very. I think the Safdies and I resonate on different frequencies. Does that make sense where. Like, a lot of the stuff they do makes me always feel like my all. All my, like, anxiety is up. And that's not my idyllic experience. So I don't. I'm. I will see it, probably, but I just need somebody I love and trust who knows me to see it first and tell me if I'd like it. You know what I mean?

[E]

Did you make it through uncut Gems?

[Katy Nolan]

No, I haven't even start. I think I haven't even started it. Somebody said it felt like an anxiety attack, and I was like, yeah, I don't think I did the TV show with what it was the HBO show about the HGTV couple with. Oh, God damn. With Emma Stone in that. Yes. And Nathan Fielder. The Curse.

[Isabella]

I know.

[Katy Nolan]

Is that what it's called? I tried that. I. I don't think I got it. I wasn't in the right headspace for it because people were like, that was mind blowing. And I was like, is that also a sketchy. I think so. He's in it. He's definitely in it.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Katy Nolan]

Yeah.

[Chris]

He co created it.

[E]

I mean, he was in Happy Gilmore too. I don't know if that really.

[Katy Nolan]

That stunk. And I'll say that with my chest. I. That is. That movie was brutal. I wish it wasn't. And then. Okay, good news, bad news in nascar. Which do you guys want first?

[E]

Good.

[Katy Nolan]

Oh, wow. Okay.

[E]

What in this economy.

[Katy Nolan]

I want good, but then you're gonna get the bad, and then that's gonna be the taste left in your mouth. Ryan Blaney's in second place in the playoffs. Our boy Ryan Blaney, part of, famously, part of our studio, is in second place in the national playoffs. That's right. He's sitting right here staring at me. And Bubba, though, has been eliminated.

[Isabella]

Damn.

[Chris]

I know who my favorite guest is out of the two.

[Katy Nolan]

Bubba. Right? Cause you would never kick a man while he's down like that.

[Chris]

Sure, Bubba.

[Katy Nolan]

Bubba. Three races before it gets knocked down to four. So I guess, let me know then. These things are long, huh? NASCAR playoffs. It feels like half the season, and.

[Chris]

Then all the other drivers are still racing around just with nothing else to play for.

[Brady]

It's crazy.

[Katy Nolan]

It's so strange. But they get money, I guess, and that motivates some people, but not Chris and I. Not Chris and I.

[Chris]

Just. Success. Just win a NASCAR race.

[Katy Nolan]

Just. We're in it for the love of. The love of the game. We just like the. We just like the lefts, you know, love turning left. Okay, let's take a quick break.

Former NFL quarterback Mark Sanchez was pepper sprayed, stabbed, went to the hospital, subsequently arrested on multiple charges. So this weekend Mark Sanchez was in Indianapolis to call the Colts game and apparently we found out about this on Saturday, Sunday, Saturday. And it was like the news first broke that Mark Sanchez had been stabbed and he was taken to the hospital and a lot of people rushed to the Internet to talk about how they were praying for him and he was there. They told their little Mark Sanchez story a little early I would say and then it came out and we are now kind of following as it develops that Mark Sanchez was stabbed in self defense because he was the aggressor in an attack on a 69 year old truck driver who according to the police affidavit was backed into a hotel's loading docks in downtown Indianapolis. And this is all alleged 38 year old Sanchez smelling of alcohol accosted that man leading to a confrontation where Sanchez went inside the vehicle, then followed the driver outside the vehicle which prompted the driver to first pepper spray Sanchez and then pull out a knife to defend himself. After multiple stab wounds, Sanchez then ran off and was apprehended at a nearby bar. He was hospitalized, hospitalized with stab wounds to his upper right torso. And the truck driver, identified as PT had a cut to his left cheek that penetrated and lacerated his tongue. I looked at the picture. They're redacted online because they're pretty. He. The guy got. The guy's pretty effed up. His cheek is sliced through. 69 years old. Mark Sanchez. Did I say 38 years old? That's my age. No. President Donald Trump did not weigh in on Monday. I didn't see that. That's real.

[E]

You're damn right he did.

[Katy Nolan]

What? President Donald Trump weighed in late Monday, saying he knew Sanchez, quote, a little bit. Okay, hey, I know him. And was surprised by the incident. Quote, I feel bad. Trump told Newsmax. He's a nice guy. I don't know what happened. Insightful. Thank you, President Donald Trump. I feel I've learned so much, and we can all move through this, I would say. Reports have said he's not always a nice guy, but those are alleged, so we won't even get into that. What a. He was replaced by Brady Quinn. Brady Quinn took his spot. This is, I heard, felony charges.

[E]

Felony with. It's a battery with severe injury. It's a penalty of one to six years in prison.

[Katy Nolan]

I mean, do you think. I mean, I. Every time I hear that and it's a famous person, I go, like. And they won't be serving those. Right. Like, Jay Cutler just did. I think three days, was it. He just served three or four days. Now, listen, that's three or four days more than I've ever been in jail. So I'm not saying it's not. It's nothing. I'm sure it's still something. But three days, it's like, what's the point of that?

[E]

You know, the. The perspective I'm waiting on. I'm waiting on hearing a story of the person who is in this bar in Indianapolis that Mark Sanchez walked into after being stabbed in the torso.

[Katy Nolan]

Did you see the surveillance. Did you see the surveillance video of him just, like, walking around the corner with blood on his shirt? Just like, kind of stumbling, but, like walking, you know, just like, fuck, I need a drink. Isabella, have you ever heard of the Butt Fumble?

[Isabella]

No.

[Katy Nolan]

Oh, okay. So the Butt Fumble. It was. It was.

[Isabella]

Can I guess?

[Katy Nolan]

If you want. But it was Thanksgiving of 2012. Okay. The jets played the Pats in primetime. It was a night game. Everybody was watching. Sorry. The Pates.

[Isabella]

Thank you.

[Katy Nolan]

The New England Pates. Rex Ryan, the head coach of the jets at the time, the guy who likes feet. The guy who called Mike McDaniel nerd boy. Okay, I'm trying to find him in your brain. If we've talked about him, he's a character. And then Bill Belichick was the head coach of the New England Patriots at the time. Yes. Okay. Mark Sanchez is the quarterback for the New York Jets. Okay, 20 million people watching. This has been voted and listed in, like, history as one of the most embarrassing moments in sports history. I believe it has been named by ESPN the most embarrassing moment in jets fan history. It is really, truly ranked as the most embarrassing moment in jets history by espn. Often considered one of the most inept plays in NHL history. NFL history. Side note, and we won't get into this today, but another, I think probably one of the most inept plays in NFL history involves Pat McAfee. Someday we will tell you about that play. Wait, the host of. Yes. Yes, he did. He was a punter, so he played. You know.

[Chris]

Hey, punters are people, too.

[Katy Nolan]

Just joking, you guys. Just a joke. Okay, so Mark Sanchez ran into his own teammates. Wikipedia says buttocks.

[Isabella]

Okay.

[Katy Nolan]

His own offensive lineman ran into him and then fumbled the ball because of that, which was then recovered by the Patriots and returned for a touchdown. It happened in between two. Other plays people forget were also embarrassing. It was like a string of defensive touchdowns for the Patriots. But the link is in the doc, and I think that you should watch the butt fumble.

[E]

Okay, well, years ago, we talked to Tom Moore.

[Katy Nolan]

Then at Indianapolis, the offensive coordinator. You got a busted play here. And then.

[Isabella]

Wait, where's the. Where's the butt?

[Katy Nolan]

Go back.

[Isabella]

Wait, he's. Okay, Wait, wait. Mark Sanchez, quarterback.

[Katy Nolan]

Yes. Okay, so that's. You see him look around. The play that he was looking for, it was run incorrectly. So he's looking around, trying to find the person he was. He turned to the wrong side, I think.

[Brady]

Think so.

[Katy Nolan]

Then he starts to. He tries to turn nothing into something, and he just goes to run. So he's right there and he's running, and he ran right into 65 and flipped the ball over.

[Isabella]

Bro, I'm dumb. I'm looking at the wrong team. That's why.

[Katy Nolan]

Oh, my God.

[Isabella]

I've been looking for a purple this whole time. And I'm like, what the hell is.

[Katy Nolan]

Okay. Oh, damn. Six.

[Chris]

Okay, good.

[Katy Nolan]

It really. It is so humbling. It reminds me of, like, what I have to keep in mind. I have to help. I'm not being helpful to you. I did not set you up to succeed in that club.

[Isabella]

No, that was my fault. You said jets, like, three Times I just for some reason, was looking for some reason at the right side.

[Katy Nolan]

Yeah.

[Isabella]

Of the.

[Katy Nolan]

No, that's all right.

[Isabella]

I don't know why.

[Katy Nolan]

It's my fault. It's my fault. But I. But I really Butt fumbled that. I ran into my own teammate's butt, so it was super embarrassing. And. Yeah. And now that guy's in jail.

[Chris]

We should call the Ospash. We had the Ospash as an alternative name.

[Katy Nolan]

Oh, yeah. Tush Bush, Butt Fumble. These are good.

[Chris]

The Ospash for. For the Butt Fumble makes a lot of sense.

[Katy Nolan]

Didn't somebody get fined once for pretending to poop a football?

[Chris]

Oh, oh, that mascot absolutely rings a bell.

[Katy Nolan]

Yeah. For butt. All butt related stuff.

[Chris]

I also feel like whoever you're talking about, the. The Tasmanian Devil.

[Isabella]

Yeah.

[Katy Nolan]

He poops footballs.

[E]

I mean, Randy Moss pretended to moon the crowd.

[Katy Nolan]

Oh, maybe.

[E]

I'm thinking Doug Baldwin pretends to poop out football after scoring.

[Katy Nolan]

And I'm pretty sure the. Whoever called it was like, this is a disgrace.

[E]

Oh, Joe Buck. Joe Buck called the. The Randy Moss one.

[Katy Nolan]

Oh, yeah, that's right.

[E]

Joe Buck's significantly more chill these days.

[Katy Nolan]

Yes, significantly more. The Bills. The Bills lost to the Pates.

[Chris]

Hey, hey.

[Katy Nolan]

Who saw that coming? Drake May has arrived. Isn't that fun? Isabella.

[Isabella]

Wait, that's your quarterback?

[Katy Nolan]

Correct. Yeah. The team you were looking at that you shouldn't have before is the one we're talking about now. The Pates.

[Isabella]

Oh, okay. Okay.

[Katy Nolan]

Yeah. First primetime game in the NFL. Finished 22 of 30. That means he threw. He tried to throw 30 passes and 22 of them got caught for 273 yards. First game winning drive as a pro. And our kicker, our little kicker's good too. These Pates. So mama's feeling excited about her pates. Didn't think this was gonna happen. Not gonna get too excited already. People are like, are they closer to the Bills in the AFC east than we think? And it's like, yeah, just cause the. The Dolphins and the jets stink so bad. I don't think it's that the Pats are. That the Pates are that good.

[E]

Drake May Elite quarterback name.

[Katy Nolan]

Yeah, perfect quarterback name. Stefon Diggs. 10 catches, 146 yards. That's Cardi B's baby. I don't know what they're calling each other and I don't want to offend, but they are having a baby together. I think they're still dating, but I'm not sure. And I'll say it gives open relationship, but I don't know. So I just. I want to give the context for the people at home. That man was a great wide receiver before famously with the Bills for a while. Also previously with the Vikings. But he was really good. And then this was like a return home. And he was really good in this game, which Stefan Diggs needed. He hadn't had a game where he gone off like this yet as a Patriot. So this is exciting and good stuff. Also, Cardi B. I found out during the wild card series, which we haven't probably even said this here yet, Red Sox got eliminated. We don't have to talk about it. It's fine. It's what you do when your team lose. You just go like. And no, they didn't. And you move on.

[Chris]

But I found out right before a different country. Like I did.

[Katy Nolan]

Right. Cardi B. Is a Red Sox fan. Oh, so she's a Red Sox fan. Pregnant by a Patriot. That is my queen. I just had to say I thought people would be a lot more excited for me. A lot of dumb moments in the NFL in week five. So our quick recap is just going to be by telling you some of the dumbest moments that happened in week five. Remember a week or two ago, we had some. It was a week ago we had somebody drop a play, drop a ball at a goal line, and we made fun of him for it.

[Chris]

Adonai Mitchell.

[Katy Nolan]

That's right. Adai Mitchell. Another player has done that. Amari DeMarcato from the Cardinals. Am I saying that right?

[E]

Close enough.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Katy Nolan]

Okay. Am I saying it right?

[E]

DeMarcado.

[Katy Nolan]

DeMarcado. No, that's. Sure. Cardinals running back Amari DeMarcado just dropped the ball across the. Stop doing it. What do you need us to say to you? Stop doing that. That's so embarrassing. You got it all the way there. Hold on to it for one more day.

[Isabella]

Oh, my God. For a second I thought you were, like, going off on Brady. I was like, confused on what just happened.

[Katy Nolan]

Hold on for one more yard.

[Chris]

It doesn't. Doesn't make sense. I don't know why these plays feel the need to celebrate prematurely like that.

[Katy Nolan]

You didn't do anything yet.

[Chris]

Haven't done it.

[Katy Nolan]

It's full of air.

[Chris]

Famously trying to look. Look cool.

[Katy Nolan]

But I don't know, man.

[Chris]

It's just dropping.

[E]

Hey, look.

[Chris]

Look what I just did. I'm just gonna drop.

[Katy Nolan]

Frustrating. Just.

[Chris]

It's. It's so dumb.

[Katy Nolan]

Very stupid.

[E]

Up some cool to do with the ball. Like if everybody had a dance or some sort of Celebration prepared. You would need the ball. Like, take your key prop. Take it in there.

[Katy Nolan]

Yeah, yeah. I just think he got screen. He got yelled at enough on the sideline for doing that. Did you see that? His coach a week ago?

[Chris]

Like, it's bad enough that AD did it.

[Katy Nolan]

Yeah.

[Chris]

This one's even worse.

[Katy Nolan]

You calling ADNAI AD that's what.

[Chris]

That's what. He goes by AD Mitchell as well.

[Katy Nolan]

Okay, okay. But AD Mitchell, I feel like AD we already have had one of those. Anthony Davis, have another. What? No. Isn't that Adrian Peterson and his initials were not A.D. right, but he was A.D. that's. I'm just not ready to call Adnai A.D. i don't know, you know, as like a nickname. Right. Isn't this. Is this crazy? This is crazy. You're looking at me like I'm crazy.

[E]

I think you get exclusivity of initials because, like, Ladanian Tomlinson was lt. Well, sure, but Taylor was lt.

[Katy Nolan]

But it was. But it's not. Okay. Yeah, fair. Fine. Moving on. Vikings field goal attempt hits a camera cable and it deflects and nobody noticed. I saw today a push notification that they actually have gone back and looked at it and I guess it did, but nobody noticed. Live in the game. This was the morning game in London, which I'm already having an out of body experience watching football that early. I'm already going, is this the singularity? What is this? And then to see a ball redirect itself, at first you're like, why did that happen? And then when you look closer and you see it's the cable, it just is. Like when there was one time there was like a car fire or something outside of a baseball stadium and the smoke from it came into the game. So while you were watching the game at home, it was really getting like progressively cloudier in the stadium and the guys in the booth had to go, hey, sorry if it looks bad at home. The stadium is full of smoke. There's been a fire outside on the highway. And it's these moments where you're like reminded of the game being on TV and the world existing outside of it. And it always makes me go like, what do you mean the camera got in the way? The camera's always there. The camera's not like there. It's not part of the game. It's part of the outside of the game, which is not to interact with the inside of the game. And what's crazy is it happened twice on Sunday. It happened in the jets game, the Cowboys. Jets game. A path Hit the sky cam. It bounced off of someone's helmet and hit the sky cam. And again, the refs didn't notice. Not great. And. And they should have been able to replay the down, but instead they just were like, incomplete pass. Isn't it. Isn't anyone else not freaked out by. All of a sudden the cameras are being involved in the game. It's weird that it happened twice.

[E]

I mean, you think the cameras are doing it on their own? That's the only part that would freak me out. The camera's, like, leaning in.

[Katy Nolan]

Aren't they?

[E]

Better look like the AIO it is doing it.

[Katy Nolan]

Yeah. I just feel like. But at that point, you're. It's a. The camera's doing it on what you just say AI is doing it.

[E]

Like, if the camera was controlling itself. I'm just leaning in a little.

[Katy Nolan]

I imagine they're in a booth going, like, get to this shot. And it goes and does it on its own. It's like autopilot. I don't think they're manual. Are they manually doing it?

[E]

Well, somebody's got to.

[Katy Nolan]

I don't know. I just need to hear that. It was like a new guy in. In London, I guess I would understand it. They're not usually playing this type of football in that type of stadium. But to happen in the. It was in the Meadowlands, right? Yeah. MetLife. It. For it to happen in New York is crazy. You do football games for two teams. You do a football game there, like, every week. You should never have your camera be in the way of a play.

[E]

My favorite with the Cowboys is that they have that giant scoreboard that hangs over the top of their whole field that you watch from both sides. And every now and then, just a punt hits it. Like you put a scoreboard low enough that the football hits it every now and then.

[Katy Nolan]

Shouldn't be allowed to do that. Everybody wants a screen that big. Duh. But they can't have it because it's in the way of the football. So I don't know if those are. Those are. Those are dumb. That was dumb. It's dumb that that happened. The Chargers returned a punt for a touchdown. That would have put them up 17 nothing at the end of the second quarter. But they roughed the punter so there's no touchdown. And then Washington gets a field goal in the drive.

[Isabella]

Can you remind me what a punt is really quickly?

[Katy Nolan]

It's when you are giving the ball back to the other team. You've had your tries. You did not get your first down. That you needed. And so now you're going, I have to give it back to them. So you punt it to them and.

[Chris]

You'Re trying to kick it as far away as you possibly can. Because once, starting from really bad feelings.

[Katy Nolan]

Once they catch it, they want to bring it to your end zone. Usually they get stopped, but sometimes they'll just break free and go all the way to the end zone. And that's a punt return touchdown. And that's what they did. But because somebody hit stupidly, unnecessarily, the punter, the guy who did the kicking, that entire play was invalidated. And then they lost. Yeah, stupid. Isn't that stupid?

[E]

Awesome.

[Isabella]

Okay.

[Katy Nolan]

And then Al Michaels, Mac Jones and the bananas. What in the hell was this? So the prime video broadcast showed Mac Jones from The San Francisco 49ers who showed up dressed in a weird Cruella de Vil suit, half red, half black. I don't know what he was going for with that. I did not like it. I know she's half white, half black, but it was like half red, half black. But it was Cruella de Vil styled. If you had seen it, it would make sense. Anyway, he is scarfing down a banana with 2 minutes and 52 seconds left in the game. Al Michaels points out that Jones was nearing a dozen bananas consumed during the game. So on the broadcast he goes, that's like his 12th banana. Basically, he's eaten about 11 bananas tonight. Michaels said, Now 11 isn't five, it's not 10. It's not a round number that you could assume was a guesstimation. How many bananas in this jar type of a situation where he's just guesstimating. He said about 11 bananas, which to me sounds like he was counting and lost track around seven. During his postgame media availability, Mac Jones set the record straight and said 11. That's definitely wrong, but haha, I think I had three. Yeah, that banana figure was incorrect. But they can believe whatever they want.

[Chris]

What such a weird thing to make is.

[Katy Nolan]

I have so many questions. Is three bananas to Al Michaels, 11 bananas? Is it like the thought of eating three is the same as to me, the thought of eating 11? Is that what's happening here? Or is it just that he was looking to he. Is it one of those moments where you have nothing to say, where you go, hey, Mr. Guy wearing pants, look at those pants on that guy. Like he just was like, he's eating a lot of bananas tonight?

[E]

Al Michaels very famously has claimed that he has never knowingly eaten a vegetable in his life.

[Katy Nolan]

Yikes.

[E]

Al may have a very strange view on food.

[Katy Nolan]

I must not understand the way the world works, because to me, if I haven't eaten a vegetable in a month, I'd be like, I'd die. I think you'd die from the lack of nutrients that vegetables give to you. They are from the earth in the same way we are meant to be. It is a connection to the soil. And he just doesn't eat a vegetable and does and is proud.

[Chris]

That's the thing that's weird about it is that he's using it as a bread.

[Katy Nolan]

What does he eat?

[Chris]

Like, that's bad.

[Katy Nolan]

What do you eat? It's like when people go, like, I don't. I don't. I've never read a book. You're like this at this point reflects very poorly on you. This is not a cute, fun joke. You. This. You should try it.

[Isabella]

Start with chicka chicka boom boom.

[Katy Nolan]

Yeah. Dare I say, let's start right now. I'm not gonna leave the room till you pick up a book. Till you eat a vegetable. The WNBA news. A lot of big news to get to good news is we have Sarah Spain on Thursday's episode of this podcast this week. So we're going to dive into all of that there. But I will say so that you're caught up on the news as this podcast purports to do. The Aces are up in the series two nothing. This is the first year that the finals is seven games for the wnba. So by the time you're listening to this, this may be different as there is a game on Wednesday night, right? Yes, yes. So. But it. But yes, it's. They're up to nothing. The first game came down to missed free throws. That was kind of a bummer for at uh. In the second game they. It was a little more of a close, a less close win. A little more of a less close win, if that makes any sense.

[E]

It can only good.

[Katy Nolan]

It can only good happen from the Tylenol. 91, 78 was the score of the second game. So now they are traveling and the next game will be game three in Phoenix, Wednesday night at 8pm Eastern only on ESPN. And we'll get into all the stuff with the commissioner and Nafisa Collier. Sarah Spain's like, I trust her voice so much in that space. So I'm actually very excited to have that conversation with her. And not a person who didn't even know who won the game when he reported on it. No offense, Brady, but I'm Talking about you. It's no offense, but it is you that I'm talking. Talking about baseball. The Blue Jays and the Yankees. Has anyone checked the score on those games? I'm sorry if I'm smiling and it's coming through, but they.

[E]

According to Al Michaels, that game was 700 to nothing.

[Katy Nolan]

Yeah, exactly. That game was bananas. They've been absolutely kicking their ass that we've talked about. This kid before, Trey Savage, the pitcher from Toronto, he's a rookie. He had his debut like a few weeks ago and his dad was at the game and it was really like, his reaction was really sweet. You just see the moment of him realizing, like, his son is a major league pitcher and he had a bunch of strikeouts in his debut. And then he pitched against the Yankees in the second game and was unreal. He had a no hitter. They took him out because they. He. There was like actually a long inning because the. I think it was the fourth where Toronto scored a billion runs. And because of that, his arm cooled down like, because they were so good, it like ruined their pitcher. And then they were worried about him not being around for the rest of the postseason, so they took him out of the game with a no hitter. But Isabella threw four innings and there's three outs in inning, right? So three, six, nine, 12, 12 possible outs in four innings. Ten of them were him striking people out. Damn, he was unstoppable. And then the second they took him out, they went through like four relievers because the Yankees were like, finally, the foot is off our neck. But it wasn't enough and they lost and they've lost two and they're on the brink of being eliminated and I feel so sorry.

[Isabella]

Weren't they down by like 00:13 or something?

[Katy Nolan]

Yeah, I don't. Who taught her that? That's Chris. I blame Chris for that. How dare you. 00:13. Look what you've done to our girl.

[Isabella]

I was talking about it from the.

[E]

Perspective of like, it was 13 love.

[Katy Nolan]

Oh. Oh, no, it wasn't. Stop misinforming our sweet Isabella. It's all, I think in a. Correct me if I'm wrong. Let us know in an email. But I'm fairly certain it is standard in American to say the higher number first, regardless of who you're talking about. So if I say.

[Isabella]

But if I'm saying in the sentence, like, I'm talking about gang.

[Katy Nolan]

Chris, you're not. Now, I'm not going to yell, but Chris is from Australia and we've had this debate before that in Australia, that is not the case and that's fine. I don't want to sound like one of those bad guys, but like, we're in America. We got to do the American rules here. And she this where she lives. So I'm trying to educate her on the way to sound to an American fan, not like she doesn't know what she's talking about. Okay.

[Isabella]

The Yankees were down 13 0.

[Katy Nolan]

Yeah, that's exactly right.

[E]

Coriolis effect perfect.

[Brady]

Okay.

[Katy Nolan]

I don't care which way your toilet spins. The Mariners won a home playoff game for the first time since 01. And it was cathartic to watch. My friend texted me and said, I'm. I'll have you know I'm watching Mariners playoff baseball for the first time in my life. And I'm like care because of how much you've made me think that this series is great. And then when the ending happens and I was like. And how great was that? She was like, I feel healed. Something in me has healed from this. It was. It's so. They're so happy. Did you see that moment in the crowd where that woman hugged her, crying. I don't know if they were married or what, but it was such. After a year of like nightmare kiss cam moments after a year of bad jumbotron. It was such a nice moment. These two just like so congrats to them. And that series is tied 1 1. As at time of recording this, the Dodgers were looking like the Phil they were going to let the Phillies come back last night. The Phillies really needed that win and they didn't. So the. The Dodgers have now won both of the games against the Phillies in Philly. And then the series will now go to La Isabella. If the Dodgers win one more game, the Phillies are out.

[Isabella]

Damn.

[Katy Nolan]

Yeah. Did you want to apologize for what you said to me the other day about rooting for the Dodgers?

[Isabella]

I mean, in this one, I'm low key kind of rooting for the Dodgers.

[Katy Nolan]

Okay.

[Isabella]

Aren't I not supposed to like the Phillies?

[Katy Nolan]

Oh, yeah, because you're a Mets fan. Yeah, you're right. I was sorry. I was putting my friendship with you over your fandom and that's.

[Isabella]

Listen, I rooted for your Red Sox.

[Katy Nolan]

You're right.

[Isabella]

When they were actually. Yeah, I did.

[Katy Nolan]

Can we roll that date back then? Because I feel like maybe you didn't. I feel like you said you were not gonna watch baseball any. That baseball was a.

[Isabella]

Well, it's on the tv. I can't not look at the TV when I walk in the living room.

[Katy Nolan]

I will Say cool thing from the first game when the Dodgers meet the Phillies is sh started. He was the starting pitcher. And then Sasaki came in as the closer. And all you need to know, Isabella Sasaki got the save and Shohei got the win. That's the first time that two Japanese American play like Japanese born players got the save and the win in a playoff game. Isn't that cool?

[Isabella]

That's really cool. Actually there was one game, I don't know if that was the most recent one where I saw Shohei pitching and at bat in one game.

[Katy Nolan]

Yeah, he struck out four times. So I wouldn't even count that as being at bat. He's been pretty bad at the plate that Shohei Ohtani. I also saw him got quote unquote mad at an ump the other day for a bad call. But when show I gets mad, he just puts his hand up and goes like. And then walks away. It was just like. He was like I disagree but. And then walks away.

[E]

You know, the ump felt that one.

[Katy Nolan]

I know he was like, this is not the right call.

[E]

I'm not mad. I'm disappointed.

[Katy Nolan]

I think the Phillies are losing because they sell a 999 challenge. That's an insult to the city of Philadelphia and what it would be able to do. For those who don't know 999 is the nine beers, nine hot dogs in nine innings challenge. It is a challenge that predates the pitch clock and has become complicated by it as the time moves a lot quicker in a pitch clock game now. But you're supposed to eat nine hot dogs and nine beers at any pace within the span of a nine inning game. They're the Phillies for the postseason. Started selling these little 999 kits for 54.99. So 55 bucks and it's just tiny little. Nine tiny beers and nine tiny hot dogs. How dare you?

[Isabella]

Yeah, I could do like nine pigs in a blanket.

[E]

That's.

[Katy Nolan]

Like. Make it like nine. Make it like a dollar a beer and a dollar a dog. If you want to attempt the 999 like that. The fact that they're charging this much and it's less. It's just like I saw. I didn't watch the video, but I saw that swilly from John Boy did it. I. I gotta see it just is like. I wish it was a. You're insulting your fans. They can do full size.

[E]

She did it and she spoke perfectly coherently and made it sound like the only challenge to it was the fact that the Last hot dog was just cold and the bun was like, dry and hard by the end of it. It's not enough beer or not enough hot dog to really make it sound like a challenge.

[Katy Nolan]

But it'll sell someone. People will do it, and it's, you know, that's what they're going for. So congrats to them, I guess. The brewers and the Cubs. I'm less interested in this series because it just feels like the brewers keep hitting like the brewers keep getting way ahead of the Cubs. And it's not close. These aren't as close of games.

[E]

Jacob Mizaroski came out of the bullpen in that game. Game. That's it, through three innings for the brewers. He's a six foot seven inch rookie and he hit. He broke 104 miles per hour on the radar twice.

[Katy Nolan]

That's fast.

[E]

Like, him coming out of the bullpen in short stints is the kind of like, freak show historic. Like, no one's ever done this that you want to see in the postseason. Like, no one's throwing harder than this. Like Mason Miller maybe, but he's out of it because the Padres are out of it. Insane to watch them have that weapon of the bullpen.

[Katy Nolan]

Yeah, they were last night. They traded a couple three run home runs in the first. Didn't they both have home runs? Yeah, it's crazy. Okay, I heard a lot happened in college football, but Brady, you know, I don't care. You just know I don't. And so let the big ones are what? Texas lost to Florida.

[E]

Texas lost to Florida. So Arch Manning and Texas fell out of the top 25. And the Warby Parker ads for Arch Manning are now hilarious because he cannot hit a receiver.

[Katy Nolan]

Oh, it's so risky to do any sort of glasses advertisement before your season. You guys, you've got to Wait. That's a mid season advertisement. You've got to be like, let me see if I'm good first, then do an ad for like, you know, it's. You're setting yourself up.

[Isabella]

Wait, is it the fact that he did a big ad that's embarrassing, or is it.

[Katy Nolan]

No, it's that he did an ad for glasses and he can't seem to find his receivers on the field to.

[E]

Hit them with passes like Mr. Magoo out there.

[Katy Nolan]

So you could argue that he's like, these glasses must really suck. Because if he's the spokesman, he doesn't. I know.

[E]

UNC got crushed by Clemson. They're now two and three under Bill Belichick. And ESPN interviewed A UNC student for their broadcast who said, chris, you want to roll the tape real quick?

[Brady]

That was one of the saddest feelings I've had in university so far. And I've failed midterms before, so that's saying something.

[E]

Crushed, Just crushed. Things aren't going well.

[Katy Nolan]

I mean, as they shouldn't. Also Clemson, in my mind, they're good.

[Chris]

So of course they're not having a great season, though.

[Katy Nolan]

Oh, they're not having a great year. I thought Dabo said he was going to be done as soon as the kids start getting paid. Whatever happened to that?

[E]

Turns out that Dabo's also getting paid and he may enjoy that more than the coaching.

[Katy Nolan]

Interesting.

[E]

Theo Vaughn was on college game day with ESPN, man. Theo tried to hit on ESPN's reporter Jess Sims, and let's say he got shot down with that one, Chris.

[Katy Nolan]

Well, we'll, we'll talk about that later. Well, the guys are ready for your second round of picks, so go ahead right up there. Oh, I'm already going. You're already going. See you later. See you again.

[Brady]

Oh, I hope not.

[Chris]

His reaction is just as funny as her. Her bit there at the end where he's just like, oh, am I going.

[Brady]

To see you again?

[Katy Nolan]

A. Oh, my God.

[E]

During college game day, Pat McAfee was giving away money again. $300,000. This time for a student to make a field goal. She missed badly. And then Pat said, let's run it back. I'll give you $300,000 just if Kirk. Herb street can throw the ball through the uprights. Now, Kirk Herbstreet is a former quarterback at Ohio State 8. This is just him picking up a football and throwing it. And of course he did and it was great and she got the money. But it just seems really weird. Like, what are we even making them compete?

[Katy Nolan]

What happens if he doesn't like? What happens if he doesn't? Because you're telling her that that can get her the money. Because you don't want the segment of your TV show to be, we just told you you could have life changing money. And then we watched you not even come close to getting it. The girl, the kick that she made was bad and she would be so disappointed. So he goes, if he can throw it through, you can have it. What if he didn't?

[Chris]

Would have been hilarious.

[Katy Nolan]

Hilarious. But then what does she. Can she beat him up again? It's crazy.

[Chris]

They would have just told him to go again.

[Katy Nolan]

I've my. I'm like annoyed by my own opinion on that. Segment of that show. But I'm just like, guys, what are we doing? What are we doing? Whose money is this? Stop telling me it's Pat McAfee's money. If it's Pat McAfee, there's. It's not possible that it's Pat's. It's not possible that it's Pat's because I saw Shane Gillis's face when he said to Shane on air, shane will throw in however much he said. And Shane looked at him like, no, no, I won't. And then Pat was like, yeah, it's fine. It's not your. And he was like, it better not be my money.

[Brady]

It.

[Katy Nolan]

I will not be. So I'm just confused by. It just feels like, watch us obviously milk emotion. Like I said, I'm embarrassed of my own take. I just feel like it's a weird time to be giving away 300. I don't know. I don't like it. I'll think about it. I'll let it cook, and I'll bring that take back.

[E]

On the flip side, if you find out that it is just Pat's money and he's doing this, then great.

[Katy Nolan]

Then I love that. Then I love that. What did you want me to say? Something else.

[E]

Florida State, Miami, Saturday night, huge game, epic rivalry. Holly Row on the sideline for espn took a shot and everyone had a little trepidation because Holly is a national treasure. Popped back up, did an injury report on herself. Chris, you want to roll it? This is Chroma and they are swarming.

[Katy Nolan]

To the sidelines and bring him down. Is there going to be.

[E]

Yeah, there is a flag.

[Katy Nolan]

So Miami get a little over aggressive.

[CDC Announcer]

After they rounded him up, but Holly.

[Katy Nolan]

Holly went down.

[Chris]

Holly, you're all right.

[Katy Nolan]

You're all right, girl. I have an injury update on myself. I'm good, but what I wanted to point out before I got wiped out.

[Brady]

Was just look at the.

[Katy Nolan]

That's a lot. It's an. That's a lot in my ears. But that is so funny. I have an injury report on myself. Is so funny.

[E]

Oh, protect her at all costs. I know, but she may not even need it.

[Katy Nolan]

Yeah, clearly she's a tough. She's a tough gal. So that's mostly your sports news. That's most of the stuff. I feel like we did a good job of updating you guys on every single thing that happened. Like I said, we'll do more. More WNBA stuff and whatever comes along, whatever LeBron does, announce at noon, unless it's a partnership with Bleep Bleep. In which case we won't talk about it. We'll do that on Thursday. Okay. So that's pretty much all of the sports news. I think we did an okay job of getting everybody caught up on everything that's happening, but we also had the opportunity this week. Tari Davis Woodhull was in. In town because she's doing, like I said, a long jump at. In Times Square. There's an Athlos meet happening this weekend in New York. Athlos is the all women track and field league that will be launching next year. And so she was here promoting that, and we got to chat with her a little bit about the Olympic village, et cetera. So here is that. Tara Davis Woodhall's here.

[Brady]

Hello.

[Katy Nolan]

Hi.

[Brady]

How you doing?

[Katy Nolan]

Thank you for being here. I'm doing so good. It's so nice to meet you. Yeah. First question. Why are women in track and field so fucking hot? What is up? What's going on in track and field?

[Brady]

Hey, we just got it like that this last Olympics.

[Katy Nolan]

I was like, are you guys serious? Face is being served in track and field. What's up? Are you all friends with each other or is it, like, bitchy and catty?

[Brady]

It just depends on the day. But most. I would say most of them are friends, but you got your beef in every.

[Katy Nolan]

Yeah, of course. Yes, of course. And it makes sports better. Absolutely. But people always get personal when it's women. They're like. Those women don't like each other because they're athletes competing at the top of their sport.

[Brady]

Absolutely.

[Katy Nolan]

But you're all hot. And I think it's rude. Honestly, I think it's rude. You guys are talented and attractive. I was told we had to pick one. Let's talk about what you're in town for, first of all. Yes. So the Athlos NYC 2025 is a event that has six track events and one field event, the long jump, and musical performances from acts like Sierra.

[Brady]

Oh, yeah. Hell, yeah.

[Katy Nolan]

Talk to me about Athlos and what this is, because I think, you know, we're a podcast for casual sports fans, and I know track and field is, like, such a big deal during the Olympics, but I'm sure you feel this on the off years. People have less access to you or, like, know what you're about. And I think Athlos is gonna fix that, hopefully.

[Brady]

So track and field, it feels like it's every four years for the Olympics, but it's every year for us. We have a world championship every year, and athlos is a woman's only event. It's the first of its kind, and it's where women come after the world championships and compete. It's like, world championships, that's a peak. But Athos, it's a double peak. And it's so cool to have this league or this event happening because we get to show the world who women are on the stages that they shine the best. And I'm so excited to be a part of this. I'm so excited to have my opinion be validated. And Alexis. This is Alexis Ohanian. He's the one who founded Athos in 776. And he is just one of the most kindest persons I've ever met. He listens to the athlete first instead of doing what he wants. And what he sees that, like, oh, I'm just going to do it this way. But, like, he actually asks us, how do you see yourself on the track? Where do you want to see yourself in X amount of years? And he listens. And for the Times Square event, he asked me, me, what is your dream and how do you want to see your dream of long jump play out? And I was like, my dream is to compete in the streets, but my dream is to compete in Times Square. Like, that would be insane. And he said, okay. I said, okay. He said, okay. And little, like a couple months later.

[Katy Nolan]

Months.

[Brady]

Yeah, months. Alexis.

[Katy Nolan]

He.

[Brady]

He puts his word out there and he does it like. It is insane how like. Like he can talk the talk, but also walk the walk.

[Katy Nolan]

Yeah.

[Brady]

And I feel like a lot of people can't do that. Yeah.

[Katy Nolan]

Certainly in sports as well.

[Brady]

And so for him to have this event in Times Square, to put long jump on this map, I'm so excited. It's such a special event for me. And October 9th. October 10th. October 9th is Times Square. That's the prelims for long jump. October 10th is the big show where all the events are happening. And. Yeah, Sierra, Times Square was your idea. Yeah.

[Katy Nolan]

That's crazy, because when I heard you were doing long jump in Times Square, I was like, in front of, like, fans. Elmo. Yeah.

[Brady]

And Spider Man. That's a Wild and Minnie Mouse.

[Katy Nolan]

And this was just. You just wanted in your dreams. You just were like, jumping in the streets is cool.

[Brady]

Yeah. We have street meats here and there for field events.

[Katy Nolan]

See, for us, street meat is what you eat when you're drunk at the end of the night and there's a cart and you order it from. But for you, a street meat is like, literally A meat in the streets.

[Brady]

Yes. And so it's so much fun because it's, like, out of your normal element, and the crowd is, like, right next to you, like, literally breathing on you. And I find that so fun to just, like, be engaged with the crowd and have them see it in a not normal place in the streets.

[Katy Nolan]

Are you gonna be in my way when I'm trying to get to the subway?

[Brady]

You know what? Probably.

[Katy Nolan]

I swear. And I'm just like, oh, this lady's long jumping. I have to get to work.

[Brady]

But then you're gonna be like, oh, shit, this lady's long jumping. Look how far she's jumping.

[Katy Nolan]

No, I think it's gonna be amazing. I think people in Times Square are going to be bewildered, and I think, like, visually, how cool.

[Brady]

The photos are gonna be. Sick. Yeah, it's gonna be sick doing it for the photos.

[Katy Nolan]

Absolutely sick. As you should. It's a fair reason to do anything. Okay, Paris. Let's talk about Paris. Because we watched you win a gold medal.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Katy Nolan]

You two. I'm not acknowledging you, but I know.

[Brady]

Hunter's over there in the corner.

[Katy Nolan]

You also did it, too, Hunter. I'm sorry to ignore you. Talk to me about it. Is that like a. Like, what's next after you win a gold medal? Like, what is the. How does. What does it feel like to win an Olympic gold medal?

[Brady]

It is a feeling that you can't really describe. I've been dreaming of this moment since I was 4 years old. I started track and field when I was four, and the Olympics has always been my main goal. And going to the Olympics was a really big goal of mine. But winning the gold medal, obviously, is just, like, the pinnacle of sport.

[Katy Nolan]

And it's.

[Brady]

Sometimes it's imposter syndrome. Sometimes it's like, oh, yeah, I did that. But then, I don't know, I look back on everything, and I just like all the hard work that I have put into this, this needs to be the outcome. Like, we work so hard, and I feel like I work so hard, and the dream was just so there, and I got it. And, yeah, the aftermath of winning the Olympics is super surreal. Hunter and I were blessed enough to get all these endorsements and brand deals and be able to share a story with the world, and it's been awesome. It's been such a wild ride. And I just got my first World championship gold medal. So after the Olympics, I wasn't done yet. I still had another goal, which was to get the gold medal at Worlds, and I did that. That I think. How long ago? About a month ago, almost. And that was. That feeling was so surreal as well. We have world championships every single year, so. Except for the Olympic year. And that is just like our main goal, if it's not the Olympics.

[Katy Nolan]

Yeah, but coming out, out of the.

[Brady]

Olympics, it's a hard transition year.

[Katy Nolan]

Would you. Did you keep training, like, from the moment you stopped, like you won the gold, or do you get a break?

[Brady]

Yeah, we took some time off and we took, like, I don't know, two months off. We did all the, you know, showboating with our medals. Like, it was so much fun. And then, yeah, we started training back in around January, February to, like, get our bodies going. And then first competition was in April, and it's just been going ever since.

[Katy Nolan]

You had nationals too? Weren't nationals. This year was the first time that Paralympic and Olympic were together in this same amate. How great was that for you? You guys, like, the ambassador of that. I feel like.

[Brady]

I mean, I. We helped a lot. They asked us a lot of questions. We've given a lot of feedback, but I feel like we definitely helped them be put together, which I don't know why they weren't ever put together. It keeps track of it and I.

[Katy Nolan]

Don'T know anything, but to me, I'm like, if you have the facilities and all of the stuff set up, it would make sense if you have the weekend.

[Brady]

If you're like, yes, so. But you know what? That was the past headed to the future. And I'm super excited for the future for us para and us track and field athletes. It was so fun. Our parents loved it. They didn't have to go across different state, like, for last year, Olympic trials and Paralympic trials two weeks after each other. I was in Oregon. Hunter had to go to Miami, and like, that sucks. It was just not the ideal situation for us. But it worked out. It paid off. Which makes. Made combining them so much, you know, more feeling and more, like. I don't know, it made it more special, I would say, for us to be able to compete together and having my parents get to watch him, having his parents get to watch me, all within the same weekend, like, so special. There's nothing you can.

[Katy Nolan]

Are they gonna keep it that way for, like, ever now?

[Brady]

I hope so. I. That's the plan right now.

[Katy Nolan]

Yeah. I mean, it makes sense. I loved that. I saw that story and I was like, oh, you two were the first thing I thought of. I was like, that must be so huge.

[Brady]

For me. It was. And we got to train the same. Like, we have cycles in our training and, like, we got to stay on the same. Obviously, we got to be on the same cycle each week.

[Katy Nolan]

Oh, wow.

[Brady]

Because we had LinkedIn. Yeah, we did.

[Katy Nolan]

So sweet. Thank goodness. Talk to me about the Olympic village in Paris. I know you had things to say.

[Brady]

It sucked.

[Katy Nolan]

She's very grateful for the opportunity and she's super thankful, but it sucked. I mean, we have heard from athletes before that these Olympic villages.

[Brady]

I think it could. I feel like we are at the pinnacle of our sport. We should be, I think, treated that way. But I guess it is hard to put like 4,000 athletes in one place and expect it to be luxurious. Like, this is hard. You're having so much sewage problems. You have to cook every single day in the cafeteria. But it's also so much fun. And the energy in the village is. Is unmatched. Like, that's why there is the post Olympic depression, because you're in this two week fever dream of so much energy in one village. And there's all these people walking around you talking to all these people. And when you go home, you're like, whoa, what the heck? It just happened.

[Katy Nolan]

It all happened at once. And now it's over. And now it's. Do you remember? Because I feel like if I ran into that many people at once in that short amount of time, I would forget, like, interactions that we had. Like, do you remember any interactions you had at the village or with athletes or with celebrities at the Olympics?

[Brady]

I try to remember everything as best I can because these moments are so short. And I think the moment I remember the most is the opening ceremony, where we've truly got to see all of Team usa. When you're out there, you don't really get to see much of us because we're all spread out. Like, there are Team USA athletes in the village, but the basketball team, since they're so big, they have to stay in a hotel. The gymnasts stay there. Soccer team so big they have to go to a hotel. So the opening ceremony is where you got to see everyone. And I got to meet LeBron and Steph and Coco and who else? There's so many people I met. It was actually insane. And yeah, it was. It was one of those moments where I'm like, okay, this is the Olympics. This is real. Because I went to 2021 Olympics and not good during COVID Oh, yeah, that's right. There was no one around in Tokyo. It felt so eerie. We had to wear a mask all the time. So it wasn't like I could see people face to face, talk to them.

[Katy Nolan]

What a strange experience.

[Brady]

Yes.

[Katy Nolan]

Yeah.

[Brady]

And competing in the stadium that is sitting for like, 70,000 people, completely empty.

[Katy Nolan]

Crazy.

[Brady]

So going to Paris, there was just so much. There was no expectation for me. I was like, I'm gonna come here, enjoy the moment, and take it all in. Because 2020 was not the same at all. And, yeah, it was.

[Katy Nolan]

I'd say you enjoyed the moment.

[Brady]

I enjoy. I enjoyed the moment. So you did a really good job enjoying the moment.

[Katy Nolan]

You let us enjoy the moment, too, as people who are rooting for you. What would cause the Olympics are coming here.

[Brady]

Yes.

[Katy Nolan]

The next time you compete will be the Olympics. Will be the 2028 Olympics. What. What can the United States make sure to do with the Olympic Village that they didn't do in Paris so that the same mistakes aren't made again?

[Brady]

Ac. Real beds.

[Katy Nolan]

Real beds. What were they? Oh, they were like, those sustainable cardboard headboards.

[Brady]

And then, like. I don't know what is, like, not. It wasn't foam. It was plastic, basically, like mattresses.

[Katy Nolan]

Okay. So don't do that.

[Brady]

Don't do that. I don't know. Bring those chocolate muffin muffins.

[Katy Nolan]

I heard about those. Those chocolate muffins are really that good. Did you have one out of the village for me?

[Brady]

I was sneaking them out. Hell, yeah. And then after, a company called Pastry Art actually sent me the replica.

[Katy Nolan]

Were they the same? Did they taste the same?

[Brady]

I didn't get to taste it because I was in the middle of a season.

[Katy Nolan]

But it looked disciplined like that.

[Brady]

It looked identical.

[Katy Nolan]

Oh, my God.

[Brady]

And the paper of it was identical. I'm like, I. They need to bring the chocolate.

[Katy Nolan]

Should have popped it in the freezer like it was the top of a wedding cake and then taken it out and eaten it in a year when you could.

[Brady]

You're not wrong. I should have done that. I should have texted you or something.

[Katy Nolan]

Yeah, but usa, get those muffins and make sure they're there, please. Cause we want her to keep winning, and she needs a muffin in order to win.

[Brady]

Please season the food.

[Katy Nolan]

Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Not to anyone in spec. Not to anyone in particular. We don't know who cooked that food in Paris. Okay. But it was probably a lot of boiled chicken. I feel like maybe they have good. They have. Should have good food. Culinary Tokyo, though.

[Brady]

Tokyo Olympics. That food was really good during COVID Yeah.

[Katy Nolan]

It's like that they had an excuse.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Katy Nolan]

For it to just be sandwiches in a bag. Okay. Let's talk about women's sports having a moment. It's something that, like, people have been saying as women, I. And especially as a woman in sports, I'm sure you're like, yeah, they're always saying women's sports having a moment. But truly with the WNBA is making a big push. They've got their, like, CBA thing they're working through right now. But looking at this Athlos women's league, it feels like there is a real investment, money wise, which has always been lacking, is like the putting people putting their money where their mouth is. People always love to say, I am so supportive of women.

[Brady]

Pay up.

[Katy Nolan]

But it seems like that's starting to happen. So do you feel. What does it feel like to be, like, boots on the ground on the forefront of, like, this big moment in women, women's sports?

[Brady]

It's kind of insane. I feel like, yeah, growing up, I was only watching men play sports. Like, my dad had sports on all the time in the house, and it was only men. And the only woman that would be on our TV was Serena Williams and love her to death. Love, love, love. And it's like, only her on the television. When, like, there's track events going on, there's soccer events going on, I'm like, why aren't we. We pushing the other athletes as much as we were pushing Serena? Like, Serena is the goat, but there's also goats everywhere else in our sport, right? And I feel like now being at the forefront of pushing women's sports to the. To the front, it's insane. I talked to my dad about it the other day, and he was like, isn't it crazy how we were just watching this on TV and now you're the one on tv and I'm like, like, you're gonna make me cry. Like, that's. It's wild and it's super special. And I'm definitely enjoying the moment, and I just want to be there for all the other little girls who are inspiring to be elite athletes and have their dreams and lights. And that's why Times Square is literally the craziest thing ever, because Empire State of Mind, the song, it's like seeing my name in shining lights. And I was like, oh, I'm never gonna see my name in shining lights because I do, like, long jump. And the fact that we're going to Times Square and have long jump in the middle of Times Square, it's like the closest thing I'll Closest thing to get to it. So you deserve it.

[Katy Nolan]

This is very exciting. I also am thinking if all you have to do is say you want to do it in Times Square and Alexis makes it happen, how we should come up with the next thing you want to do and we should tell him that. And then we should. Let's get nuts with it. Go to the Grand Canyon, jump across it or something. I don't know.

[Brady]

Hunter says go to the moon.

[Katy Nolan]

Yeah, go to the moon.

[Brady]

Why not?

[Katy Nolan]

Alexis, get on it.

[Brady]

Build me a pink aircraft.

[Katy Nolan]

Yes, please. That's all I had. That's all I wanted to talk to you about. I am so. It's such an honor to meet you both. Honestly, I'm ignoring you, but both of you, thank you for giving us something to be like, proud and excited about. The Olympics as Americans. Where can people watch this event this weekend?

[Brady]

You can watch on X, YouTube, ESPN, ION.

[Katy Nolan]

It's everywhere.

[Brady]

Everywhere. Yeah.

[Katy Nolan]

Google it. A T H, L O S athlos, N Y C. Okay, Great. Amazing. Good luck.

[Brady]

Thank you.

[Katy Nolan]

You don't say. Break a leg, do a track hell. Right? Okay.

[Brady]

So good luck.

[Katy Nolan]

Have fun.

[Brady]

Jump far, run fast.

[Katy Nolan]

Yes, jump far, run fast. And thank you for being here.

[Brady]

I was like not able to acknowledge, but he was sitting right there with us. Brady, you said you've got the LeBron announcement.

[E]

I do. Just came across Twitter right now as we're recording it. Breaking. The decision has been made. Cheers to year 23. It is an video that LeBron released with Hennessy. It's a goddamn ad partnership.

[Chris]

We knew it.

[Katy Nolan]

What? I don't know. Yeah, I have to go. I'm going to go. Chris, will you tell them what to watch if they want to watch sports this week? I'm leaving. I love you. I mean it. Bye.

[Chris]

All right. The first thing to watch this week if you want to watch sports is Mariners versus Tigers. Specifically game four, Wednesday at 3:08pm Eastern. Big dumper. If you haven't had a chance to watch him so far this postseason or this season, this is your chance to do it. The second thing to watch if you want to watch sports this week is College football. Saturday, 3:30pm Eastern on CBS. That game will be number seven, Indiana at number three, Oregon. Both teams are undefeated so far this season. Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza is projected as a top two pick in the 26 NFL Draft. Some places that I've looked at have him as a number one overall pick. And the Oregon QB Dante Moore is a projected top five pick in the 26 draft. So some mock drafts that I've seen have him 1 and 2, respectively. So if you want to see some high QB play against two undefeated teams, check out that game, 3:30pm Eastern on CBS. And the final thing to watch if you want to watch sports this week is the NWSL. We've got Kansas City Current against Gotham FC on Saturday at 5pm Eastern. That game will be on ion. Casey is on top of the table. Gotham sits at third. Also, you will want to watch Midge Purse. Watch some Midge. Those are three things to watch if you want to watch sport this week. But we'll chat to everyone in a couple of days.
