Summary

Hello! It's the podcast that's still not blaming the electromagnetic fields in San Francisco, but it's getting close. Today, Katie and the Casualties announce the latest merch sale, examine the proliferation of the "Aaron Rodgers' Wife is an AI Chatbot" conspiracy, and take a look at the somewhat-more-feasible-now scenario of Team USA winning the World Cup. Then, the team breaks down an incredible weekend in the NFL Playoffs with two all-time classics, including the Bears dropping a heartbreaker after Caleb Williams' legendary throw to end regulation, Isabella taking blame for the loss, Matthew Stafford defeating the weather, Microplane losing sponsorship of Cheese Grater Guy to Miller Lite, the Payts moving on (!), Drake Maye and Ann Maye taking over New England, Mike Vrabel and DeMeco Ryans losing way too much heat energy through their heads, whether CJ Stroud should've been benched, Azeez Al-Shaair paying fines for his anti-genocide eye black, the emotion in Josh Allen's voice after the Bills' loss, the definition of a catch, Hailee's 2016 photos coming back, the Bills firing their coach after the loss but promoting the man who picked the players, Bo Nix's injury and temporary dreams of Drew Brees, whether Niners fans are OK, and why Niners fans aren't OK, the Casual fans' guide to "who to root for for the remainder of the playoffs", John Harbaugh getting $100 million to teach each Giants player not to use his head as a weapon, Kyle Tucker and "of course the Dodgers did", the tragedy of Bo Bichette coming to the Mets post-haircut, Carson Beck admitting he hasn't gone to a class in two years and the enigma of college football, the latest in the trasnfer portal, and an update on the Turning Point USA halftime show. Then the team wraps with Chris' look at what to watch this week in sports: 1. Australian Open - 7:00pm ET on ESPN 2. Kitzbuhel Downhill - Saturday, June 24th at 5:30am ET on Peacock 3. Cricket - Hobart Hurricanes vs Melbourne Stars - Wednesday, January 21st at 3:30am on Fubo/Willow TV
