Summary

Hello! It's the podcast that will analyze Fergie lyrics with you in real time, and you probably won't enjoy it. Today, Katie breaks down Napheesa Collier's scathing comments on WNBA leadership and the ripple effect across the W, before Lauren Gardner of MLB Network and NHL Network joins the show [24:37] to talk candidly about her recent family tragedy, and how she found comfort and healing in the family of baseball, before getting into [36:13] the MLB Postseason, the anxiety of a short Wild Card series, Garret Crochet taking down the Yankees in the Bronx, her love of Larry Walker, her love of the 2022 Phillies postseason run, why this October may be make-or-break in Philadelphia, Orbit, Blooper, Gritty, Brewers manager Pat Murphy and the pocket pancakes, the dominance of small ball in Milwaukee and the presence of Bob Uecker, the Jays' chances against the Red Sox/Yankees winner, the Mariners as the most likable team in the league in 2025, Cal Raleigh as the story of the year and whether that gets him an MVP, her postseason picks, next week's puck drop on the NHL season, hope for the Oilers and Jets, a lack of hope for the Bruins, the inevitability of the Panthers, and her dark horse contender for the Stanley Cup. THEN, Katie sits down with former One Direction singer, pop star, and football enthusiast Louis Tomlinson [1:22:30] to talk about his love of Doncaster Rovers, scheduling a tour around the 2026 World Cup, American soccer, and the Three Lions' chances in the World Cup. And finally... we wrap with the impossible tale of Isabella's fantasy team, which may finally have a name.
