Hello! It's the podcast that's officially petitioning for an RL Stine-themed NWSL squad. Today, Katie and the Casualties talk about Spanish bullfighting for probably the only time ever, and only because the bull won, and get into barefoot heroics at the Boston Marathon, a new American women's record for an old friend, the Celtics dropping Game Two, Bill Simmons dropping the boomer-est take of the NBA Playoffs, a potential gentleman's sweep, the Bruins bouncing back, Mike Vrabel's surprise press conference and his quasi-apology for the thing he said he didn't do, an update to the World Cup, FIFA's ticket sales, and a bit of good news for fans in Philly, Leicester City being relegated AGAIN, Tottenham being on the brink, and potential names for the brand new $205 million NWSL squad in Columbus. Then, Tennis Hall of Famer Maria Sharapova joins the show [40:18] to talk about being part of the long engagement club, her new podcast "Pretty Tough" (Available now on all major platforms and YouTube!) talking to top performers across industries and its celebration of female ambition, what she's learned about how hard it can be for some people to acknowledge competitiveness in women, starting her professional career at 14, growing up in the public eye and staying centered, her first social media page, when she first started to understand the power of her fans, her boy band preferences, criticisms of her inability to be friends with other tennis players, winning Wimbledon at 17, her relationship with Serena Williams and going from fierce rivals to then asking her to speak at her Hall of Fame induction, and the respect that persisted through it all, the isolation and pressure of being alone on a tennis court, her coaches, her father, her love of candy, eating someone else's birthday cake, owning her sense of style, her business ventures, her competitiveness, parenting and the advice she's traded with Serena, pickleball, and finally getting to be a tennis fan. And finally, Katie and the team wrap with your e-mails and voicemails from the week, with a particular focus on Portland Trailblazers ownership.

Hello! It's the podcast that's trying it's best not to spoil the WrestleMania results for any of New York's top comics. Today, Katie and the Casualties open by lamenting the separation of America's #1 sports power couple (Megan and Sue), and discuss the Dallas Wings' strange handling of Azzi Fudd's relationship with Paige Bueckers at her first press conference, Madison Beer and Justin Herbert officially announcing their relationship, Austin Hedges proposing postgame and the etiquette of public proposals, the drama of the Summer House hookup scandal hitting Yankee Stadium, and Skip Bayless and Ernestine going all-in on why celebrities shouldn't discuss public policy... while discussing the war in Iran. Then, the team discusses WrestleMania weekend, the lack of wrestling at WrestleMania, George Kittle's beer chugging, iShowSpeed, Logan Paul, Jelly Roll, and Pat McAfee all going through the same table, Night One being a drag compared to Night Two, Mya Lesnar's dad retiring after his loss, and a crypto-billionaire paying to sit at the commentary desk without a microphone, the most viral moments of the weekend with Jordan Lucas making men's volleyball cool again, Charles Barkley bringing up the Ice Spice video during a McDonald's ad read, and Coachella Weekend Two being marked by a flying tent, the best of the Stanley Cup playoffs so far, Florence and the Machine fans raging at the Flyers, Boston losing to a team with a sabre-shaped pretzel, the Senators falling behind the Hurricanes thanks to history's worst hype song, Dallas trying to pick a fight with the fan base they abandoned 33 years ago, and Utah fans celebrating the Uath Mammoth, and a discussion of who truly had the worst week in baseball - from the Mets not scoring any runs, to an umpire with plenty of them. Then Chris wraps the show with a look at the upcoming NFL Draft, and what to watch in sprots this week.

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.
