Slander & Slay

Tracy and Nikki break down a packed October week, starting with the MLB playoffs. Tracy tells Dodgers fans to calm down in a five-game NLDS, while they dig into Shohei's injury, a cold lineup, and the Padres' 0-2 hole against the Brewers. In the NFL, Tracy shares her first trip to Levi's Stadium as a fan in over ten years (with a ranking of NFL press boxes), and they call it a week-to-week league where only the 49ers and Chiefs have looked great. Plus: Stafford's interceptions in the Rams' comeback, the "Fugazi" Eagles, and JJ McCarthy's trade to the Giants. Then they review Taylor Swift's four new songs, and close with Michigan's struggles and a Jim Harbaugh homecoming idea. Don't miss it!

Tracy and Nikki kick things off with breaking Taylor Swift news — four new songs dropping Friday! Plus speculation on whether wedding photos are coming too — before diving into Week 2 of the NFL. They debut a new segment, NFL Tiers, naming their "Legitimately Contenders", then break down the Giants' quarterback mess as Jameis Winston's vibes-only tenure raises questions about a trade for Mac Jones or JJ McCarthy. Plus: the wave of Week 2 injuries, and a pop culture close covering the Alo Yoga backlash and Justin Bieber's surprise acoustic set in MacArthur Park. Tune in!

On this week's episode of Slander and Slay, hosts Tracy Sandler and Nikki Kay kick off the NFL's Week 1 slate in style, breaking down the league's unconventional Wednesday start (Patriots-Seahawks) and the Rams-Niners showdown in Australia, plus Baker Mayfield's new three-year, $165 million extension with the Buccaneers and a spicy hot take on the Chiefs heading into Mahomes' return from ACL surgery. The duo also dives into college football chaos, including Michigan's shaky quarterback situation with Bryce Underwood before welcoming special guest Marcus Thompson of The Athletic for a wide-ranging conversation touching on his new NBA book, Game Changers, the Kawhi Leonard/Clippers salary-cap circumvention saga, and early Super Bowl predictions. Along the way, expect plenty of the show's signature banter — from Earl Meets World reality TV tangents to relentless Cowboys slander — all wrapped up with technical difficulties that somehow only made it more fun.

Nikki and Tracy are back for another round of Slander and Slay, and this week's news cycle did NOT disappoint. The ladies kick things off by giving their respects to the late great, Dolly Parton. They then dive into a wild week of headlines everyone's talking about: Jed York, Deshaun Watson being names the Browns starter, and the growing trend of NFL players heading back to college. Plus, they break down what's going on with Callaway Golf and GoodGood. Then Nikki takes us down her internet rabbit hole of the week with a K-Pop deep dive you didn't know you needed.

This week, Slander & Slay dive into the Lakers sale and the newly released NBA schedule, including a Christmas Day matchup between the 76ers and Lakers. Then it’s all things NFL training camp: Travis Kelce talks wedding plans, the latest surrounding Puka Nacua, and whether there was ever really a quarterback competition in Minnesota. Plus, love is in the air around NFL camps, PCA continues to build a compelling MVP case, and Brooks Nader turns heads during a family yacht trip.
