Hello! It's the podcast that's Today, Katie and the Casualties congratulate friends-of-the-podcast Pablo, Mina, and Stavros on three very different success stories, lament the near impossibility of finding verified news on the internet anymore, and break into a game of Mad Libs for the day's top headlines. Then, volleyball sensation Jordan Lucas of Cal State Northridge, and most likely your algorithm, joins the show [41:21] to talk about getting into volleyball, going viral for his celebrations, volleyball being the outlet for his emotions and helping him to gain the confidence to come out, being an inspiration to younger gay athletes, traveling then world and falling back in love with volleyball, his partnership with Major League Volleyball, the controversy of the UC-Irvine broadcaster's comments and why certain people can't handle his energy in sports, opponents who hate him, opponents who love him, and being the same person he's always been regardless, the best celebrity outreach he's gotten since going viral, his career at Grand Canyon University and GCU dropping volleyball as a varsity sport, the Heated Rivalry effect on sports, hockey, little league, tennis, the Met Gala, pickleball, music, and being surprised that he has the internet's least detailed Wikipedia page. And the team wraps with your e-mails for the week, featuring a look ahead to the tipoff of the WNBA season. Casuals merch!
