Summary

Hello! It's the podcast would've just let Brenden Aaronson have the weekend off. No Biggie. Today, Katie and the Casualties check in on Isabella before the opener of her first NBA Finals and get into the top storylines, best ways to watch, best gameday fit options, Jalen Brunson throat tattoos, Landry Shamet vibes, bandwagon fans, and a gameday cocktail of gin and Modelo, before discussing the Women's College World Series, NiJa Canady's gem, how Texas landed on "eating ladybugs" as a good luck ritual, and Jordy Frahm nearly throwing a no-hitter in the WCWS WHILE PREGNANT, the vibes around the USMNT after their win over Senegal on Sunday, and Brenden Aaronson getting married during the team's training camp and being late for his own rehearsal dinner. Then, comedian JP McDade stops by [29:42] to talk about his latest basketball injury and having to miss the Big Walkowski this year, his girlfriend's response to the description of a ruptured patella tendon, the biggest headlines from his last appearance on Casuals and how poorly they've aged (from us laughing that the White House said they might host a UFC event to Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson maybe dating?), the Knicks' Finals appearance and JP's fandom, how the city has reacted, embracing Mike Brown, imploring Mitchell Robinson to shoot free throws underhand, being terrified of a watch party, being unsure of how the MSG crowd will send, his experience with James Dolan's spy tech, the potential disaster of a game five concurrent with a World Cup game at MetLife, Wemby taking the Spurs to see Obsession on an offday, his picks for the series, Air Corgi's picks for the series, and why we can't trust stubby English dogs, the Stanley Cup, the Sphere, ESPN's Chirp Line, the World Cup, and the death of LIV Golf. And the team wraps with your best voicemails on your best tall hot sports dads.
