Summary

Hello! It’s the podcast that knows not to anger Hello Kitty. Today, Katie and the Casualties get into this weekend’s inaugural “Enhanced Games” in Las Vegas, where elite athletes will compete and every drug is legal (except apparently cocaine), discussing the funding and structure of it, the dubious ethics of it, the obvious purpose of it, and even the broadcast team and their Human Enhancement Analyst. How is this allowed to exist? Who thinks it’s a good idea? And who is the best looking non-enhanced older gentleman on the planet today? Then, the team breaks down Pablo Torre’s investigation into Oz the Mentalist, the Trailblazers owner’s latest embarrassment, Aaron Rodgers’ return and the false reports about his wife, the Knicks’ epic comeback against the Cavs, whether Danhausen or Hello Kitty has been better luck, and whether Mitchell Robinson should shoot his free throws underhand, Victor Wembanyama’s incredible performance in the Western Conference Finals, the latest on the road to the Stanley Cup, the Wife Line bringing Montreal to the brink of the Walter Cup, Brendan Sorsby’s lawsuit and the latest revelations about his gambling, Jaxson Smith-Njigba’s misspelled trophy, Arsenal’s Premier League title, Southampton and the English Spygate scandal, the newest Messi statue, Ace Hardware, and the minefield of corporate jingles. And the team wraps with your best e-mails of the week.

0:22.2	But you did speak on Mike during fan service this week for the first time. I also laughed really well on that show. Yeah, you do nicely in the background. It helps me. It's my favorite part. I get a really great ambient noise. Yeah. And they must give away, Brady, you must know inside and out what could be at the radio hall. They honor people who do ambient noise stuff. Yeah, there's the Andy Richter
0:40.2	Ed McMahon Award for just Brady, you must know inside and out what could be won at the radio hall. They honor people who do ambient noise stuff.
0:39.3	Yeah, there's the Andy Richter Ed McMahon Award for just ambient laughs. Exactly. And Isabel is obviously a shoe in for that.
0:45.9	You also get some of my size. Mm-hmm. Size, S-I-G-H-S. And also, sometimes we get some of her yawns. That's my favorite. I'll be in the middle of an ad read and she'll go like, ooh! Like you're in a radio studio. That is live on the air. I haven't done it since that one time. And her face, always to her credit, is like, oh! Like, she's just like, oh my God, I forgot. The other day we started the show, and she looked at me with her bag of chips, as if to ask, cool if I do this right now. God damn it, Katie, that was the privacy of our safe space. My face went, I wouldn't. I don't think I would do it right now. But then we did.
1:28.3	We did and those were delicious chips.
1:29.3	And I offered them to you.
