Casuals with Katie Nolan

Hello! It’s the podcast that truly does not play about its breakfast. Today, Katie and the Casualties take a deep deep dive into the international scandal that dominated the news cycle this weekend - Did Chappell Roan really ruin the birthday of the stepdaughter of Brazilian football star Jorginho? The team examines, hearing the sides and backstories of Chappell, Jorginho, Cat Cavelli, plus the relevance of third parties like Jude Law, Sia, Trixie Mattel, Will.i.am, TISM, Rey Mysterio, and Brazil’s least experienced mayor, all to find out: Who is truly the villain in this story? Then, Katie and the Casualties break down all of their favorite stories from the first weekend of March Madness, from the team dynamic of the Texas women and the shape of the Florida men, to near buzzer beaters for the Vanderbilt men and Clemson women. Plus, what exactly is High Point University? And who greenlighted Old Ball? The team then goes through this week’s edition of “Should I Have Said That Out Loud?” with the voices of Cam Skattebo, Luka Doncic, and more, and Katie’s reaction to actually sitting down and watching the Fanatics flag football game.

Katie and the Casualties then touch on Team USA's sled hockey gold, Hofstra, Miami of Ohio, the Goo Goo Dolls, and the Men's NCAA Bracket, before diving into an in-depth look at the Women's Bracket. We asked the communications departments of all 68 teams in the tournament about the single most fun fact about their roster, and then picked the first-round matchups based on it. Who has a pet hedgehog? Who bakes? Who does Legos on road trips? Whose mom was in Degrassi? Who has a TikTok account strictly for Tall Girl Fashion? Are we blacklisted in Baton Rouge? And will any of this help us pick the winners? And finally, Chris wraps the show with a look at What to Watch in sports this week.
