  • Katie Nolan is fantastic, and she's found a great group of casualties to help her shine. Funny, curious, and passionate about sports and belonging. Great for the most casual to the most immersed sports fans.

  • Weak

    You speak of women’s rights and leave out Shane Gillis. I really like the show but as a soder and you fan. You have to draw a line. It’s weak to pick and choose what you value. So some jokes are ok but not others? When rules aren’t made or always changing, it’s hard for people but easy to manipulate towards your belief.

    Jokes are jokes

    Opinions are the same.

  • Best Sports Pod

    I would say Katie Nolan should have the prime time spot on any major sports network, but they don’t deserve her. Great pod, great crew.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Digger, Devils, and Hockey for the Casuals | with DJ Bean & Pete Blackburn
Q: How do I follow the puck on the TV? That thing is tiny. How do I train my eyes?
DJ Bean says viewers' brains adapt as they learn the game, and that anticipation matters more than visually tracking the puck every moment. Katie Nolan adds that she often follows the player's movement rather than seeing the puck directly.
Digger, Devils, and Hockey for the Casuals | with DJ Bean & Pete Blackburn
Q: When a player requests a trade despite having a no-trade clause, should that clause be voided, and why is this becoming more common?
Pete Blackburn and DJ Bean say no-trade clauses have become leverage tools, while suggesting a clearer process and deadlines could help balance player choice with teams' ability to make a trade.
The Brewers Roll, the Niners Fall, and Could You Beat Luke Littler?
Q: What do you, how do you feel about that?
The caller asks about defenders punching the ball out while a receiver is being held by other players. Katie says players have been punching the ball out for years and notes that ball security can help prevent it.
The Brewers Roll, the Niners Fall, and Could You Beat Luke Littler?
Q: I need you to talk me down because as a Minnesota sports fan, I know the collapse is inevitably coming for probably all of them.
Katie advises the caller to stay even-keeled, enjoy the teams' success, and practice gratitude without getting ahead of himself.
MAILBAG! Walkoffs, Horse Sports, and the Return of Wagatha Christie
Q: How would you rank a game-winning NHL overtime goal, an NBA buzzer beater, an MLB walk-off home run and an NFL game-winning drive?
The panel favors different moments: Katie chooses an overtime hockey winner, Chris and Isabella choose a buzzer beater, Brady picks a walk-off home run, and Isabella also likes the team effort of a game-winning drive.
