The Women's Game, the NWSL, and Tom Brady in English Soccer* | with Sam Mewis Aug 07, 2025

Show notes

Hello! It's the podcast with absolutely no crypto advice. And we can't legally stress that enough. Today, Katie and the Casualties take a look at the top five least self-aware things said by Tom Brady in his new documentary about buying (part of) Birmingham FC, then recap the responses to the "DQ the Baby" debate from Tuesday's episode, update the most disappointing possible explanation for the WNBA's sex toy scandal, and explain to Isabella what a meme coin is, with the opposite intended result. Then, former USWNT star and World Cup champion Sam Mewis [32:18] joins the show to talk about her new broadcasting career and her live show in NYC, her World Cup experience, the newest stars of women's soccer, her experience playing in England and how the Boston and Manchester accents just don't blend, her new coaching gig with Vermont Green, Tom Brady's lack of awareness of the existence of Aston Villa, the WNBA's expansion into Boston, and how one can resist the urge to be an absolute jerk with a resume like that of Sam Mewis. Love you. Mean it. And seriously, don't take crypto advice from Isabella.

Baby Racing, Baseball, and Is Milwaukee Sexy? | with Dani Wexelman Aug 05, 2025

Show notes

Hello! It's the podcast that's half Mike McDaniel, half Michael McDonald. Today, Katie and the Casualties discuss the very different, yet equally public takes on fatherhood from both Scottie Scheffler and Tom Brady, plus the WNBA's move to Boston and Katie's moral dilemma, Gilbert Arenas publicly declaring his intent to snitch on the Israeli mob, Hollywood's upcoming sports movie slate and the ideal length of a film in 2025, Sydney Sweeney and whether two pairs of jeans is too many to be wearing at one time, baby racing, Banana Ball, Trinity Rodman's return to play, a US Open dating show, and the dry-nacho hellscape of MLB's Speedway Series. Was it MLB's Fyre Fest? Many are calling it that. Many. Then, Dani Wexelman returns to Casuals [1:08:36] to discuss baseball at the two-thirds mark, Milwaukee as the league's sexiest destination, Seattle as a dark horse World Series contender, Toronto and Boston atop the American League with the Yankees fading fast, and the dichotomy of the breakout star known, for now, as Big Amish. And Chris prepares you for the rest of your week with a look ahead at Korfball, Orienteering, Casting, and the rest of the World Games 2025.

WNBA All-Star, NFL Names, and Coldplay | Plus MJF & The Sons of Happy Gilmore Jul 22, 2025

Show notes

Hello! It's the podcast that's cool with radio being your side piece. Today, Katie reflects on her first day on Mad Dog Sports Radio and invites you to check it out through the end of the week, then updates the epic confusion of the "The Ville vs. Boston vs. Cancer" triple threat match, and gets into WNBA All-Star, the unbridled joy of the StudBudz stream, Cathy Englebert knucking if she buck, Courtney Williams calling out Diplo for not reading the room, Kelsey Plum calling out Team Clark, the players' pregame statement, and Napheesa Collier's MVP ceremony, the president's demand that Commanders and Guardians change their names again, his lack of understanding of the team's history, and what's not actually being said in his statements, the pervasiveness of the Coldplay meme at Major League kiss cams, and Scottie Scheffler winning the British Open in a blowout. Not his first blowout. Then, Maxwell Jacob Friedman, Ethan Cutkosky, Philip Schneider, and Conor Sherry - the four actors playing the sons of Happy Gilmore - stop by to talk about Friday's release of "Happy Gilmore 2" on Netflix, becoming Adam Sandler's kids, their bond with each other, their inability to tell a pro golfer from a production assistant on set, whether or not they're all old enough to know who Marshall Mathers is, Rory McIlroy, John Daly as history's greatest functioning drinker, wrestling MJF, and stunt butts.

Hear Casuals Live on SiriusXM's Mad Dog Sports Radio from 12-1 ET, 7/21 through 7/25.
