Hello! It's the podcast that wants you know that Tarps Off was not meant to be a Where's Waldo for sports bras. Today, Katie and the Casualties break down the terrors of deep sea rowing, the NBA Finals' arrival in NYC, Isabella's Watch Party experience, Donald Trump being both the first sitting AND first sleeping president to attend a Finals Game, the crowd's reaction, justice for Avery Wilson, an update to the Brendan Sorsby controversy, the uselessness of the NCAA, and the declaration that it's apparently OK to gamble on college football now, the World Cup and travel restrictions for Iran and the referees, and the joys of living vicariously through Freddy, the German fan who's experiencing the American south for the first time at the World Cup. Then, Michael Schur (Parks and Recreation, The Good Place) and Joe Posnanski (The Baseball 100) stop by [38:30] to discuss their new book, "Big Fan", about what it means to be a sports fan across the world, mental health stigmas in education, watching football at a Buffalo Wild Wings in Dallas, 20-year-old darts prodigies and an entire arena full of fans dressed as various bobsled teams, chess fans, the Boston Red Sox, the Cleveland Browns, and why cheapness is worse than incompetence from an ownership group, Liverpool and the fan experience of English football, pickleball, WrestleMania, and the joys of learning there is no wrong way to be a sports fan (mostly), Rulon Gardner, gambling in sports, bandwagon fans, Yankee fans, leaving games early, foul balls, doing the wave, and the joys of watching every single game of your life on tape delay. Then, the team wraps with your best e-mails of the week, and a special nod to a Stanley Cup name we can all get behind. Casuals merch!
