Welcome to Brunettes Who Bitch! In this episode, we step off the field and into the minds of athletes as we dive into the often-overlooked topic of mental health in sports. From the pressures of performance and the weight of expectations to injuries and isolation, we explore the psychological toll that competition can take at all levels. We share real stories from athletes who have opened up about their struggles, discuss how the sports world is slowly shifting toward prioritizing mental well-being, and examine the stigma that still lingers. Whether you’re a fan, a former player, or just someone trying to understand what goes on behind the scenes, this conversation is a reminder that strength isn’t just physical—and it’s okay not to be okay.

Welcome to Brunettes Who Bitch! In this episode we meant to talk about the biggest stories in sports right now — and we kind of did. There’s definitely some mention of playoffs, our special guest came in hot with some major sports knowledge that had us straight-up applauding… and also questioning if we’ve ever actually watched a game, and then we had a few heated takes that start off sports-related and spiral quickly. Somewhere along the way, we go full deep dive on Pitch Perfect, rediscover the cinematic brilliance of Barbie as The Princess and the Pauper, and take a hard left turn into high school glory days. It’s part sports, part chaos, all vibes.

Welcome to Brunettes Who Bitch! This week, we’re giving the spotlight to the unsung (and often unhinged) heroes of the sports world: mascots. In this “Hear Me Out” list, we’re defending the mascots that don’t get enough credit—not just for their antics and in-game hype, but for their looks too. That’s right. Sometimes, it’s the weird ones, the cursed ones, or the unexpectedly adorable ones that win us over.

We’re talking about mascots who are chaotic in the best way, terrifying in a way we oddly respect, or just so uniquely designed that we had to give them their due. From Gritty’s gremlin energy to the Stanford Tree’s fever dream aesthetic, we’re building our case one mascot at a time.

It’s part defense, part roast, part beauty pageant—because sometimes, it’s what’s on the outside that counts.
