Summary

Hello! It's the podcast bringing you your annual allegory of Doc Emrick smut, right here, right now. Today, Katie and the Casualties get into Thanksgiving and plugging our Thanksgiving episode, the Spanish soccer president and why we should supported the return of public eggings, an upcoming episode dedicated to the intersection of spicy hockey fiction and the NHL's latest controversies, a shout out to Sports? fans and Ashley's hall pass, Bryce Harper's new look, and the NFL driving us to take the side of report cards. Then, comedian Beth Stelling joins the show [18:30] to talk about her comedy career, her field hockey career, the US Masters squad and her silver medal at the Pan Am Continental Cup, being "in the zone" in sports versus comedy, going to college at Miami but not THAT Miami, the rise of crowd work comedians and whether that's been bad for comedy in general, playing field hockey into her 60's, airport lounges, cigarettes for the apocalypse, scaring young people, what anyone turning 40 can learn from Lebron, Matthew Stafford, Clayton Kershaw, and the old men of the year, throwing a first pitch and learning to critique yourself as both an athlete and a comedian, Erin Matson and the USA Field Hockey controversy of the 2024 Olympics, Bill Belichick attending an adult cheerleading competition on Sunday, porn, Mormon Housewives, bleaching it, and where to find Beth's comedy. And then the team wraps with a look at another week of Isabella's unstoppable fantasy football team, and finding an inconsequential replacement for JK Dobbins.

0:00.0	Hey, Isabella, did you see a man in Sweden inspired by his children shoved eight matches
0:06.8	up his nostrils and earned a Guinness World Records title in the process?
0:12.1	That's 81, Katie.
0:13.4	What did I say?
0:14.5	Eight.
0:14.9	Eight isn't very impressive.
0:16.1	Who says eight when it's 81?
0:17.5	Wait, 81 matches?
0:18.4	Sorry, he shoved 81 matches in his nose. Did he light something up? I don't know. He didn't light him, did he? I was just saying his nostrils rough enough to light up. Can you imagine it's smelling like hair because it's your nose? God, the smell of hair is the worst. Inspired by his children. What does that mean? I don't know. They said... I don't know. When I was a kid, I shoved a red bead up my nose, and it didn't inspire anybody, but made everybody mad at me. Because then I was trying to get it out, but my nose was bleeding. And so there was a lot of little red things coming out of my nose. And so we were trying to dig out. I had to go to the
0:54.3	hospital. My grandmother was upset with me. I'm scared. But this guy got a Guinness World Record.
1:01.1	Just because you can do it doesn't mean you should. Hey, who knows? Maybe he just likes the way it
1:05.7	smells. Ew. Hello.
1:24.4	And welcome to casuals, the sports podcast that does its best to keep you entertained.
1:45.4	We talk a little bit about sports, but mostly we're just here to laugh and have a good time because everything's on fire. You know, doesn't they sometimes feel like everything's on fire? Like that man's nose. That's exactly. With that many matches, all eight to 81, which honestly, if you could get eight in there and it stayed, that's impressive. I got small nose holes. I'm a little insecure about them. I don't think I could get 81 in there. There'd be a lot of, I hate to say it, folks, but gaping necessary. Can you widen your nostrils right now? Let me see. I can't do the thing where I do that on command. But if I hear, no, what? Why are you making me so insecure? I'm about dose to podcast. I mean, don't worry. That's not something you need to be confident about.
2:03.7	Nope,
2:04.1	now I don't think I can do it. I didn't realize I struck a nerve with this story. Yeah, I'm sorry. It's the, it's really staying with me. Um, that's the, those are the casualties. We're not going to, we got a guest today. Beth Stelling is here. We're going to get to her in a little bit.
2:17.7	We're going to keep it quick up top.
2:19.0	I know.
2:19.8	I know I say that all the time.
2:21.4	But we're really going to do that this time. If you want to reach us, Casuals with Katie Nolen at gmail.com. Our voicemail 646, 801.0043. on IG and TikTok, we are at Casuals the podcast.
