Summary

Hello! It's a glorious Thursday episode with more Doechii than Super Bowl talk. Katie and the production team dive into Jimmy Butler's disintegrating relationship with the Miami Heat, how things for the NBA superstar got to where they are, and what the NBA could look like after next week's trade deadline, Bronny James' struggles with the Lakers and the pressures of working for your Dad's company, Naomi Girma's record-breaking move OUT of the NWSL, Caitlin Clark turning down the NBA's Three-Point Shootout and why it's the right move, trash cans full of popcorn, the Paul brothers disappointing Katie yet AGAIN, Utah hockey names, and a full set of picks for this weekend's top Grammy categories. PLUS [58:10], Katie sits down with new Golden State Valkyries Head Coach Natalie Nakase to talk about her unique rise to a top job in the WNBA, her approach to building her roster, her career, her family, her idols, and her role as a role model for both young girls and adults.
