Summary

Hello! It's the podcast that's disputing the legitimacy of the Flavortown elections. Today, Katie and the Casualties welcome Isabella back from her trip to Hello Kitty Night at Dodger Stadium, and discusses Jorginho's attempt to walk away from his feud with Chappell Roan without an apology, Guy Fieri saying he was devastated by reactions to his camaraderie with Andrew Tate, Dianna Russini resigning from The Athletic amid the investigation into her relationship with Mike Vrabel, and Donald Trump saying he's not a fan of Riley Gaines. Then, the team dives into Monday's WNBA Draft, from the reactions to Azzi Fudd going #1 overall and the joy of six UCLA players being selected, to the confusion surrounding the Valkyries trading Flau'Jae Johnson and Cathy Engelbert oddly claiming sexism in a reporter's question, and they break down the headlines of the WNBA's free agency frenzy. The team also takes a look at the NHL and PWHL playoff pictures as they near completion, and discusses Utah Mammoth allegiance, whether this was the last season of Alex Ovechkin's career, and the five most embarrassing headlines for FIFA and the World Cup this week. And finally, Katie and the Casualties wrap the show with your e-mails for the week, from hockey fights to guernsey etiquette.
