Casuals with Katie Nolan

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

Hello! It’s the podcast that's talking to the old bearded leprechaun shackled to the top of the backboard during free throws. Today, Katie and the Casualties react to the NBA “canceling” Magic City Night while still selling the wings and merch, Dak Prescott’s ex-fiancée making her first statement post-breakup, the Hofstra(!) men making their first actual trip back to the NCAA Tournament in 25 years, and Miami (OH) trying to get into the tournament despite being… undefeated? Then, comedian Joey Avery joins the show [23:24] to talk about his new special and watching sports from a green room, Clavicular and the Manosphere waging a war on sports, prediction markets, the war on betting, and betting on war, NFL Free Agency and Maxx Crosby’s canceled deal with the Ravens, the 49ers signing Mike Evans and our prayers for his ligaments, Daniel Jones and his Achilles tendon returning to Indianapolis, the Jets reuniting with Geno Smith, Team USA’s performance at the WBC and the travesty of their manager thinking they had already advanced to the next round of the tournament before losing to Italy, Italy’s dugout vibes vs. ours, Cal Raleigh and Randy Arozarena’s confusing feud, Bam Adebayo’s 83-point game and the likelihood of A’Ja Wilson now going for 84, and an epic celebration of the 25th Anniversary of Disney Channel’s Luck of the Irish, with a look at the movies five most absolutely insane plot points. The team wraps the show with a mailbag featuring Ryan Blaney’s parking brake and fans yelling at Brady, and the question of “What fictional headline about Tom Brady in 2026 could possibly sound unbelievable?” Love you, mean it.

Today, Katie breaks down her weekend trip to Boston and her apologies to one of you, Jayson Tatum's return to action for the Celtics, Tom Brady trading Maxx Crosby to Baltimore because he reportedly would "never" trade him to New England, a brief history of Tom's wellness guru Alex Guerrero and the diseases he never cured, and Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr's attack on the people of Boston, or namely their Dunkin' beverages. Then, Katie and the Casualties take a look at the weekend action in the World Baseball Classic, Team USA getting off to slow starts in two wins, Tarik Skubal potentially pitching a second game, a seventeen-year-old getting Aaron Judge to ground into a double play, Ozzie Albies' walkoff home run, and Vinnie Pasquantino's espresso drip in the Team Italy dugout, the 24 hours over the weekend where we thought Joe Burrow was dating Jessica Alba and whether Danny Ramirez should be mad, Dak Prescott and his fiancee calling off their engagement, Jack Hughes and Tate McRae, an in-depth discussion about the LA Marathon, Timothee Chalamet, and United Airlines' new headphones policy, and a shout-out to Oksana Masters, Team USA soccer, the Unrivaled champion Mist BC, and beers in shoes.

Hello! It's the podcast that isn't nearly athletic enough to eat authentic Italian food in a white sweatshirt. Today, Katie and the Casualties celebrate Alysa Liu, Paul Rothrock, and athletes finding inspiration post-Olympics, before briefly getting into most of the USA men's hockey team attending the State of the Union, the five who didn't, and the women being invited to celebrate with Flavor Flav in Las Vegas, AFTER already celebrating with Megan Thee Stallion over pasta in Italy. Megan is manifesting both an engagement and an EGOT; what are Katie and the team manifesting in 2026? Katie and the Casualties then get into Angels owner Arte Moreno saying that he believes winning is not a top priority for his fans, Mavericks minority owner Mark Cuban saying his fans should embrace when they try to lose on purpose, NFL owners saying making players stop giving them bad grades, and none of it making sense. Fresh off the Olympics, Team USA luger Sophia Kirkby joins the show [47:03] to talk about representing the USA, her relationship with her luge partner, what makes a strong luger, dating at the Winter Olympics and being called "The Olympic Village's Most Eligible Bachelorette", going on a first date at a spa with a man who flew in from the UK just to say her, flirting via DM while waiting on an Olympic drug test, the much-reported Olympic condom shortage and the art of international condom collecting, her custom ceramic pins and her Amazon Handmade shop, Olympic lava cakes, Olympic apple juice, and drinks at the top of an Olympic mountain, rubbing elbows with Alysa Liu and Mikaela Shiffrin, what her future holds, and the one true difference between a luger and a bobsledder. Then, the team wraps with Nicolas Cage, Jeff Kent, buckets of coffee, and a memorable round of "Did Ya See THAT?"

Hello! It's the podcast that will graciously accept any stuffed animal it's handed, any time. Today, Katie and the Casualties wrap up the Winter Olympics with a look at the figure skating exhibition gala, Kung-Fu Panda, and new boundaries being pushed, before getting into Team USA's gold medal in men's ice hockey, a historic game on Sunday, and the unsettling reality of the president interjecting himself into the postgame celebration to diminish the accomplishments of the women's team. In a happier conversation, the team then takes a  look [23:05] at the accomplishments of the athletes themselves, Connor Hellebuyck being unbeatable, JACKHUGHES scoring the game winner with his front tooth missing, Team USA's celebration of Johnny Gaudreau, Nathan McKinnon's performance, Nathan McKinnon's acceptance of the Olympic stuffy, Nathan McKinnon's assertion postgame that Canada was the better team, and a dramatic re-enactment of an all-time Olympic moment - Mike Tirico interview the Hughes brothers and Connor Hellebuyck after significant postgame celebration. Katie and the Casualties then award the Winter Olympics Superlatives - taking a look at the most dominant, most romantic, most impressively non-human, and most relatable performances throughout the games in Italy, from Alysa Liu and Elena Meyers Taylor to giant wolf dogs and benevolent robots. And finally, Chris wraps the show with a look at what to watch in sports this week, and the Paralympics ahead.

Then, the team wraps with Isabella fixing college baseball for good.
