Summary

Hello! It's the podcast that asks that if you're going to tattoo us onto your back, please tell us about it first. Today, Katie and the Casualties break down an absolutely epic World Series that reminded us of every single thing we love about baseball, from a Game Six ballpark anomaly to a Game Seven legendary national anthem and a home run from an injured Bo Bichette and benches clearing and a manager's gut feeling about Miguel Rojas and a debatable slide at home plate and a collision in center and Yamamoto pitching in zero days rest and everything you could ever want from a baseball game. The team gets into the best celebrity reactions on social media, Caleb Joseph's postgame comments about the Blue Jays, Clayton Kershaw's final game, and Alex Vesia's presence in the hearts of both teams, and then make closing arguments for why every casual fan should be all-in on baseball in 2026. Then [48:50], the team runs through the biggest sports stories of this week, including Cardi B and Bob Kraft becoming besties, the longest field goal ever kicked, the costliest twerk ever twerked, Sydney Sweeney's boxing biopic and the lack of marketing, a preview of the NWSL playoffs and where your rooting interests should lie, the NWSL coach who may have used ChatGPT a little too much, bidets, thorns, and labor unions, Paige Bueckers getting a starring role in Hollywood, Jalen Green's new back tattoo, Jaxson Dart's new girlfriend, and the definition of the word "influencer", Kathy Hochul and the "Let's Go Bills" chant, AJ McCarron's run for backup governor, and a look at what to watch this week in sports.

Well, I mean, I think before it was just going, mm-hmm. But I wonder now if it's going to be like, sorry, we cannot answer that question. And you could argue which one's worse? I think the first one's worse. So I think it's good. I think this is ultimately a good
