You won’t believe who we have on the podcast today. She’s a Phillies fan and a Gritty stan  🔔 she’s anti-youth culture 🫶and she washed these guys 💇‍♀️that’s right it’s… KELSEY MCKINNEY.

Kelsey McKinney—beloved Normal Gossip queen, Defector co-founder, and Philly’s own sports mascot oracle—joins the pod for a completely deranged round of FMKHFDCGT with Philadelphia sports mascots. From the chaotic genius of Gritty to a suspiciously off-brand cat from Villanova, Kelsey herself ranks, judges, and makes forward-thinking marital commitments to our most beloved and accursed icons.
