Listen Later

NFL Week 1 served up more drama than we could chew. Josh Allen & co. pulled off a comeback for the ages (yes, we know it’s only Week 1). Swifties mobilized to defend Taylor’s fiancé after a slap on the field. And a bright green dildo made its NFL debut – cue Caroline’s public apology for potentially playing a part. Plus, Golden State Valkyries star Kate Martin joins us to talk about making franchise history and reacting to Caitlin Clark’s season-ending injury.
