Casuals with Katie Nolan

• The History of the Sexiest Man Alive | with Christopher "Mad Dog" Russo

  Hello! It's the podcast that admits it had a moment during 1988's "Working Girl". Today, Katie and the Casualties celebrate the return of Hilary Duff to the music industry and the lasting impact of "Cadet Kelly", touch on the Jets' firesale at the NFL trade deadline and Steve Ballmer's latest lawsuit, and debate whether Commanders coach Dan Quinn should be getting blamed for Jayden Daniels' injury. Then, sports radio icon Christopher "Mad Dog" Russo joins the show [26:00] to discuss the beginning of his sports fandom, his love of Bruce Springsteen and weed gummies, Jeremy Allen White and the Springsteen biopic as they compare to Chalamet playing Dylan, the right time to get married as a sports fan and how Chris would plan Katie's wedding, his career, his success, and how he maintains his passion for sports after forty years of broadcasting, the World Series, the Dodger dynasty, and why we shouldn't be concerned with how much they're paying their players, who he considers the actual contenders in the NFL this season, learning about Cardi B in real time, and an epic breakdown of the greatest controversies in the history of People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive. Was Harry Hamlin sexier than Don Johnson in 1987? Was Sean Connery too old to be sexy in 1989? Are we sleeping on how sexy Nick Nolte was in 1992? And can any of them compare to the great Robert Mitchum or Sidney Poitier? PLUS, Mad Dog learns about Adam Levine's absurd texting history for the first time, as you buy this episode a steak dinner and whisper sweet nothings into it. And finally, Katie and the team wrap with a recap of Isabella's fantasy squad and a look ahead at the weekend's NFL action. Casuals merch!

• The World Series, the NWSL Playoffs, and a Legal Quantity of Pelvic Thrusts

  Hello! It's the podcast that asks that if you're going to tattoo us onto your back, please tell us about it first. Today, Katie and the Casualties break down an absolutely epic World Series that reminded us of every single thing we love about baseball, from a Game Six ballpark anomaly to a Game Seven legendary national anthem and a home run from an injured Bo Bichette and benches clearing and a manager's gut feeling about Miguel Rojas and a debatable slide at home plate and a collision in center and Yamamoto pitching in zero days rest and everything you could ever want from a baseball game. The team gets into the best celebrity reactions on social media, Caleb Joseph's postgame comments about the Blue Jays, Clayton Kershaw's final game, and Alex Vesia's presence in the hearts of both teams, and then make closing arguments for why every casual fan should be all-in on baseball in 2026. Then [48:50], the team runs through the biggest sports stories of this week, including Cardi B and Bob Kraft becoming besties, the longest field goal ever kicked, the costliest twerk ever twerked, Sydney Sweeney's boxing biopic and the lack of marketing, a preview of the NWSL playoffs and where your rooting interests should lie, the NWSL coach who may have used ChatGPT a little too much, bidets, thorns, and labor unions, Paige Bueckers getting a starring role in Hollywood, Jalen Green's new back tattoo, Jaxson Dart's new girlfriend, and the definition of the word "influencer", Kathy Hochul and the "Let's Go Bills" chant, AJ McCarron's run for backup governor, and a look at what to watch this week in sports.

  Hello! It's the podcast that Gilbert Arenas will never snitch on. Today, Katie and the Casualties welcome you in for a conversation about gambling, the NBA, the scandal that's only going to get bigger, the league's reputation being in jeopardy, and the alleged existence of organized crime. Like, at all. We said alleged, don't come for us. Then, the team gets into Justin Herbert and Madison Beer celebrating Halloween together a week early, Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau celebrating something, and Sophie Turner and Chris Martin celebrating something else, the Jonas Brothers performing at the World Series, the Toronto fans politely trash talking Shohei Ohtani, and what probably happened during Game Three, the disappearing act of Jaylen Brown's hairline onto OG Anunoby's jersey and why we should all be our true selves, the NBA on Prime video, naked Ducks in Oregon, Cam Newton vs. mascots vs. hats, Brian Kelly's expensive exit at LSU, what exactly Mike Lombardi does, Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers uniforms, Terry Bradshaw and Pig Dealers, the New York Jets and appropriate embraces of mental health, and the magic of Judi Jupiter and the San Jose Sharks.
