The Beckhams Go Royal, Simone Shares Candid Confessions, and the IRL Pink Pony Club

Listen Later

David and Victoria Beckham graduated from “Mr. and Mrs.” to “Sir and Lady” after the soccer legend was knighted for his service in sport and charity. It was a decade-long process – and apparently included some expletive-filled emails when he got passed over years ago. The family gathered to celebrate, but we couldn’t help but notice one noticeably absent Beckham. Meanwhile, Simone Biles shared a “get unready with me” TikTok we didn’t know we needed full of cultural confessions. Simone, if you’re reading this: it would be our honor to show you how to use a dishwasher. 


In this week’s episode, we also discuss: 

  • Caroline’s crash out over the Jets trade of Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams
  • Hellen Obiri breaking the NYC Marathon course record – and her parents adorable reaction
  • Clayton Kershaw’s dad bod on full display, plus whether Shohei Ohtani is secretly fluent in English 
  • What we want out of the next Cardi B and Robert Kraft sighting
  • Joe Burrow’s Halloween costume that had us asking…why so serious?
