About this episode

Katie Nolan and Ashley Braband discuss recent sports stories and personal experiences in sports parenting.

Hello! It’s the podcast that isn’t at all jealous over Katie’s ex joining the show. Today, Ashley Braband, former co-host of “Sports?”, joins the show to discuss the biggest sports stories since Ashley and Katie stopped working together, including Kyler Murray’s homework clause, the Shohei Ohtani gambling saga, Raygun’s viral Olympic performance, and the Chicago Pope. Then, Katie and Ashley talk about the joys of becoming a sports parent, Off Campus vs Heated Rivalry, and why Doc Emrick is the ultimate hall pass, before diving into the Mailbag to answer all of your Ashley-specific questions.
