    Taylor’s Wedding Weekend, Channing’s Haaland Cosplay, and the WNBA Enters the Villa with Mia Hamm

    It’s happening…Taylor and Travis’ Madison Square Garden wedding is here. Despite Blake and Caroline being major skeptics, they spend the episode pretending all tabloid wedding rumors are true, plus they make predictions about the affair.

In this episode of Well Played, we also cover: Justin Bieber taking center stage at the NHL draft – plus, the first-pick’s nod to his Indigenous heritage The backstory behind Dutch striker Cody Gakpo’s emotional goal  Why the “Love Island” girls are giving Megan thee Stallion hope post-Klay Thompson breakup The lore behind Naomi Osaka’s Wimbledon whites from day 1  Sophie Cunningham’s point seen around the world  Mia Hamm’s reflections on her time with the USWNT — and who she has her eye on leading up to the Women’s World Cup The Well Played hotline is LIVE!

    Messi Makes History, A’ja’s Pride Cake, and Haaland’s Half-Bun ft. Kelley O’Hara and Ali Riley

    To continue the World Cup this week, Blake and Caroline bring in some pros. Kelley O’Hara and Ali Riley, former NWSL players, World Cup competitors, and hosts of “Time Wasting," join Well Played to discuss the convos that matter most this week — like the history-making all-American women officiants, why Jérémy Doku will be a better athlete after leaving the World Cup to be present for his son’s birth, and how Haaland’s half-bun is the secret to his scoring. In this episode of Well Played, we also cover: - How Marta was the original inspiration for Haaland’s half-bun - The Scottish fans — the Tartan army — drinking Boston dry - Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld revealing their baby girl’s name - How Messi made history in his recent match against Austria - Why Trinity Rodman and Ciara’s crossover is confusing us with Ciara Miller and Trinity from “Love Island” Follow Kelley: @kelleyohara Follow Ali: @rileythree Follow and subscribe to Time Wasting: @timewastingpod Thank you to our sponsor, Ally Bank.

    A Very Sportsish Well Played: Jordyn Woods’ Lucky Purse, Taylor Swift’s Stadium Wedding, and Prom in the NIL Era with Lily Shimbashi

    While Caroline is honeymooning in the Dolomites, Lily Shimbashi, founder of Sportsish, joins us to break down the most important news in sports and pop culture. Madison Square Garden is on our minds this week – and it’s not just because the Knicks lost at home. Rumor has it that Taylor Swift’s wedding will take place at the iconic New York City arena on July 3. Are we buying it? No. What’s are people *actually* buying when it comes to the pop star? The literal chair she sat on during the Cav’s Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals. We hate it here too. In this episode of Well Played, we also cover: Serena Williams’ return to the grass – and why “mom brain” got the best of her  Breaking down the World Cup stages, and which teams to watch  Kim Kardashian re-entering the WAG world, thanks to Lewis Hamilton  The Hockey Canada 5, and why Lily thinks it’s been a hard Stanley Cup for female fans  Send Its: Serena v. mom brain: ⁠https://www.reddit.com/r/tennis/comments/1u05nx8/serena_forgetting_where_she_has_to_serve_and_it/?solution=6fade7a9855ac5106fade7a9855ac510&js_challenge=1&token=7afd7253fec22262ff1c52b1703fe9ecba37f2c27935c160fc00b397029b5e0f&jsc_orig_r=⁠  Does Trey Jemison know he’s getting married?: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/p/DNEl36Nukmi/?img_index=1⁠  Kim K re-enters her WAGdom: ⁠https://people.com/kim-kardashian-wears-low-back-dress-lewis-hamilton-f1-monaco-11993179⁠ Plus: check out The Athletic's FIFA World Cup group stage breakdown: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/interactive/world-cup-2026-group-stage-draw-live/ Follow Sportsish on Instagram: @sportsish  Subscribe to Sportsish on Substack: ⁠https://sportsish.substack.com/⁠ Follow Well Played on Instagram: @wellplayedbytheskimm  Follow Blake on Instagram: @blaakkkke Learn more about your ad choices.

    Sexism at the French Open, Serena’s So Back, and Sports Have Entered the Villa // an Athlete Goes to “Love Island”

    The French Open is no stranger to accusations of sexism (see: rare night sessions for women). But Adolfo Daniel Vallejo decided to make it his legacy when he blamed a female umpire for his loss at Roland Garros. Luckily, the tournament organizers hit him where it hurts – his wallet. Elsewhere in the tennis world, Serena Williams will make her return to pro-tennis next week, and Caroline shares why she saw this coming.  PS: We’d love to hear from you.

    The last time the Knicks made the NBA finals, Britney Spears dropped the generation-defining Baby One More Time, Napster gave us permission to illegally download music, and T9 word just became a thing.

    Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift not only made an appearance in Bushwick, Brooklyn – because apparently that’s where A-list weddings are now. Even wilder: the event took place at Blake’s former workplace. She shares the inside scoop on their attendance, while Caroline shares everything we know about the Royal American wedding.

    Carlos Alcaraz's Tennis Tush, SI Swimsuit Covers Lack Body Diversity, and Celebrating Athlete Moms

    The 2026 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue hits newsstands on Thursday. This year’s cover stars departed from what we’re used to seeing from on the cover of the swimsuit issue in recent years – diverse ages, races, and especially body sizes. With conversations around GLP-1s, the death of body positivity in our culture, and the general shrinking of high profile women that’s hard to ignore, Blake and Caroline wonder: why the sudden shift? In this episode of Well Played, we also cover: Whether Justin Herbert will be the next victim of the “music video curse” Olivia Culpo’s controversial baby announcement ft. a donut cake and a used pregnancy test The WNBA’s 30th season kickoff – and whether we’re in a post-Caitlin Clark era Why Caroline wouldn’t call her ex, even if it guaranteed a Jets Super Bowl win Carlos Alcaraz showing off his tush – we mean talents, in his Vanity Fair cover story Send Its: The 17-month-old baby ball knower https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYGE6nBADWI/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Pope Leo is all in on Nike: https://www.gq.com/story/pope-leo-xiv-wore-nikes Bennett Scheffler attends PGA Championship in full PJs: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYM9v2lREw8/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Vanity Fair Carlos Alcaraz edition: https://www.vanityfair.com/news/story/carlos-alcaraz-cover-story Learn more about your ad choices.
