    Bryce Harper's Toothpaste, the Giants PR Team, and HOLY S***, THE KNICKS

    Hello! It's the podcast that's been watching old Jason Williams highlights for the last 96 hours straight. Today, Katie and the Casualties (minus Chris, who's in Australia, 14 hours into the future) catch you up on the lackluster and possibly pointless Enhanced Games from Sunday, and break down the Knicks' first run to the NBA Finals since 1999, Isabella's celebration, Travis Kelce's contraband Game Three chug, Ben Stiller's postgame videography, the Knicks players LOVING Mike Brown, a pop quiz for Isabella on what 1999 was like for the olds, Cavaliers coach Kenny Atkinson's comments on winning the series analytically, James Harden still believing the Cavs were the best team, a listener's thoughts that we've overhyped the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals and an examination of why it's so hard to root for SGA and the Thunder as a casual fan. Then, the team gets into the tragic loss of Kyle Busch, the photo finish in the Indy 500, Bryce Harper's viral toothbrushing technique and whether it registers on the strangest Bryce Harper stories of all time, the psyop of shampoo labels, an epic hot mic moment in Austin, a French Open competitor who made the right request, Jaxson Dart taking the stage on Friday and being pleasured by President Trump, Abdul Carter's response, the responses to Abdul Carter, a general tough offseason for Giants PR, the Vegas Golden Knights making the Stanley Cup Finals and Bam Adebayo having to buy a new Panthers jersey, and an unbelievable weekend of softball in the Super Regionals, featuring Mississippi State's upset and Texas Tech and Florida nearly coming to blows in Gainesville after Mia Williams was hit for the FIFTH time. And finally, the team wraps with the best and worst of AI this week, and all of the stories that didn't make the show. Sorry, Astros. Casuals merch!

    Enhanced Games, English Spygate, and Jalen Brunson’s Playoff Heroics

    Hello! It’s the podcast that knows not to anger Hello Kitty. Today, Katie and the Casualties get into this weekend’s inaugural “Enhanced Games” in Las Vegas, where elite athletes will compete and every drug is legal (except apparently cocaine), discussing the funding and structure of it, the dubious ethics of it, the obvious purpose of it, and even the broadcast team and their Human Enhancement Analyst. How is this allowed to exist? Who thinks it’s a good idea? And who is the best looking non-enhanced older gentleman on the planet today? Then, the team breaks down Pablo Torre’s investigation into Oz the Mentalist, the Trailblazers owner’s latest embarrassment, Aaron Rodgers’ return and the false reports about his wife, the Knicks’ epic comeback against the Cavs, whether Danhausen or Hello Kitty has been better luck, and whether Mitchell Robinson should shoot his free throws underhand, Victor Wembanyama’s incredible performance in the Western Conference Finals, the latest on the road to the Stanley Cup, the Wife Line bringing Montreal to the brink of the Walter Cup, Brendan Sorsby’s lawsuit and the latest revelations about his gambling, Jaxson Smith-Njigba’s misspelled trophy, Arsenal’s Premier League title, Southampton and the English Spygate scandal, the newest Messi statue, Ace Hardware, and the minefield of corporate jingles. And the team wraps with your best e-mails of the week. Casuals merch!

    Vanderbilt, College Gameday, and Being the Next Chalamet | with Nate Bargatze

Then, Stephen Colletti joins the show [56:51] to talk about his new season of "Everyone is Doing Great" on Netflix, the legacy of Laguna Beach, looking back on it and both the good and bad cringe, rewatching himself like athletes watch tape, the surf shop phone and how often it rang, his season of Traitors, learning to play the game, and Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski pretending to not know each other, his aspirations as a sports broadcaster, whether LeBron James' career is done, his golf game and winning Closest to the Pin at the Netflix is a Joke Invitational, his marathon career, marrying a NASCAR reporter and picking a driver, and a quick game of Steve In/Steve Out on the world of sports.

Today, Katie and the Casualties congratulate friends-of-the-podcast Pablo, Mina, and Stavros on three very different success stories, lament the near impossibility of finding verified news on the internet anymore, and break into a game of Mad Libs for the day's top headlines. Then, volleyball sensation Jordan Lucas of Cal State Northridge, and most likely your algorithm, joins the show [41:21] to talk about getting into volleyball, going viral for his celebrations, volleyball being the outlet for his emotions and helping him to gain the confidence to come out, being an inspiration to younger gay athletes, traveling then world and falling back in love with volleyball, his partnership with Major League Volleyball, the controversy of the UC-Irvine broadcaster's comments and why certain people can't handle his energy in sports, opponents who hate him, opponents who love him, and being the same person he's always been regardless, the best celebrity outreach he's gotten since going viral, his career at Grand Canyon University and GCU dropping volleyball as a varsity sport, the Heated Rivalry effect on sports, hockey, little league, tennis, the Met Gala, pickleball, music, and being surprised that he has the internet's least detailed Wikipedia page.
