Summary
Hello! It's the podcast that's about to find out what studio lights do to Fudgie the Whale. Today, Katie and the Casualties take a look at a crazy first week of action in the World Cup, Spain falling flat against Cape Verde, Vozinha becoming an overnight sensation, Messi's hat trick, Argentina's World Cup justice, Justin Trudeau skipping the Canadian opener for the American opener, FIFA covering EVERYTHING in blue tape and the Big Tape conspiracies that follow, Tunisia's new coach, Algerian fans and flares, German fans and Boosie, Norwegian fans and escalators, Japanese fans and the hoys of Texas, and the best One-Star Reviews from this year's team hotels. Then, Katie and the team break down the worst of the week, with abhorrent rhetoric at the UFC fights, and the latest MLB team to disappoint on Pride Night. Plus, Katie and the Casualties discuss Isabella's NEW plans for the Knicks parade tomorrow, the Jalen Brunson Hello Kitty crossover, the Hurricanes Stanley Cup celebration, Rod Brind'Amour's abs, and Stormy going AWOL, Hockey Night in Canada coming to an end, new 76ers President Mike Gansey immediately jinxing the Phillies, an end to the Brendan Sorsby drama at Texas Tech, Katie nearly losing her mind, and being saved by the wonders of a PWHL MVP and her caesar salad review blog, and a wrap with Chris' last words on Friday's USA-Australia matchup.
