Digger, Devils, and Hockey for the Casuals | with DJ Bean & Pete Blackburn
Hello! It's the podcast that loves sports more than Jaylen Brown loves having the fanciest toilet in Boston. Today, Katie and the Casualties break down the sports highlights of Election Night, Michele Tafoya, Jay Feely, Mark Teixeira, and the dubious claims of a caked-up Jon Husted, the craziest angles of the release of the first College Football Playoff rankings, Alabama over Tennessee, Indiana over Notre Dame, Utah over UCLA, the hats, the committee, the SEC, and Dabo Swinney asking for applause for another six-win season. Then, DJ Bean and Pete Blackburn of What Chaos! [31:49] join the show to talk about everything we've missed from the start of hockey season, Tuesday's historic Jets comeback, the Canadiens goalie, the curse of the NHL's Hometown Remix jerseys, the best looks and the worst, Katie's history with Hurricanes mascot Stormy, Tom Cruise's Digger as the underrated gem of 2026, Halloween and turning the late out early, why so many stars have requested a trade this season and whether the NHL needs to change its system, Dylan Larkin alienating Red Wings fans, the case defending him and the case against him, the likelihood of the Hughes brothers all ending up together, Isabella's questions of the best way for a super-casual fan to get into hockey, coldest arenas, best concessions, Heated Rivalry, the league's best fighters, Connor McDavid's hot start, Alex Ovechkin's new role, Macklin Celebrini's GQ spread, and the potential boycotts at the upcoming World Championships. Then Katie and the team wrap with your best e-mails of the week, from fantasy football and Cowboys fandom to the most appropriate weaponization of Malört.
