We don't spell patriotism without the eh! A podcast about where pop culture and sports culture collide… inspired by the relationship between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. Culture critic and novelist Zan Romanoff and journalist and Scamfluencers senior producer Sarah Enni discuss the baseball pants–are they still see-through?!; who hates Joe Buck and why; Deal With the Devil Watch is retired; Taylor and Travis are happy to be losers together; the 4 Nation hockey game slash boxing match; and we talk to The Ringer's Mirin Fader about the Luka trade; making the transition from playing to writing about basketball; enshrining NBA history in her work; the Diana bun; and what fans expect of sports stars and sports writers.
