    Conrad and Steven’s Kiss Cam, Kiffin’s Messy (CFB) Divorce, and a Silent Struggle in Women Sports
    Dec 3 2025
    Caroline breaks down the soap opera drama of Lane Kiffin’s recent divorce from Ole Miss for the younger, hotter LSU. Who knew a middle-aged white guy would occupy so much of our brain space? It’s also high-season for celeb-watch on the NBA sidelines, from Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez cuddling up to Conrad and Steven giving us an alternate ending for “The Summer I Turned Pretty” on the kiss cam. In this episode, we also cover: The NWSL’s Sydney Leroux reveals how her silent health struggle is more prevalent in women’s sports than we believe Recapping DWTS season 13, plus Alix Earle shutting down rumors about her boyfriend, Braxton Berrios Why Ben Johnson went shirtless for the city of Chicago How Post Malone’s Cowboys fandom goes beyond hometown loyalty Petty Boys of the NFL week 13 edition, ft.

In other ick-worthy news, Sky Sports addressed the patronizing launch of their women-centric sports TikTok account, “Halo”. Matcha lattes and hot girl walks not included – thank God.

    Nov 12 2025
    Bengals fans, rejoice. The streets are saying Joe Burrow will return by Thanksgiving after healing his turf toe. Shocked he’s already making a comeback? Us too. Blake and Caroline suspect it’s all thanks to an Etsy witch – with a side of Joe’s crystal collection. Meanwhile, Dua Lipa spends a sporty day off. In this episode, we also cover: Why Prince Harry issued an apology to Canadians post-World Series Dak Prescott’s heartfelt speech surrounding the death of Cowboys defensive end, Marshawn Kneeland Which swatch of red lipstick Daniel Jones wore during the Colts game Why Jaedyn Shaw shut down the “underdog” comments surrounding Gotham FC Serena Williams and Ciara break it down – and which one of them couldn’t get back up SEND IT: Klay Thompson is the greenest flag: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQw_i1qEsvK/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Jonas Brothers + Jason Kelce – aka girl dads – unite: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQ4N2THCvud/?igsh=MTNuc3Q2MzZ5NWszMQ== Origins of Dua LaPeep: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jar6nzgmm4 Dua Lipa’s book club: https://tertulia.com/editorial-list/dua-lipa-complete-book-club-picks?srsltid=AfmBOoryU4Vl7KA_lYJvoyJ3_21MKtbkGI78xO-NB33wz-brVyLWOdo3 Ciara, Serena, and Venus: https://www.instagram.com/p/DQzWxmCiUEW/ Blake’s IG: @blaaakkkke Caroline’s IG: @cghendy theSkimm’s IG: @theskimm Want more sports?

  • The Beckhams Go Royal, Simone Shares Candid Confessions, and the IRL Pink Pony Club

    The Beckhams Go Royal, Simone Shares Candid Confessions, and the IRL Pink Pony Club
    Nov 5 2025
    David and Victoria Beckham graduated from “Mr. and Mrs.” to “Sir and Lady” after the soccer legend was knighted for his service in sport and charity. It was a decade-long process – and apparently included some expletive-filled emails when he got passed over years ago. The family gathered to celebrate, but we couldn’t help but notice one noticeably absent Beckham. Meanwhile, Simone Biles shared a “get unready with me” TikTok we didn’t know we needed full of cultural confessions. Simone, if you’re reading this: it would be our honor to show you how to use a dishwasher. In this week’s episode, we also discuss: Caroline’s crash out over the Jets trade of Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams Hellen Obiri breaking the NYC Marathon course record – and her parents adorable reaction Clayton Kershaw’s dad bod on full display, plus whether Shohei Ohtani is secretly fluent in English What we want out of the next Cardi B and Robert Kraft sighting Joe Burrow’s Halloween costume that had us asking…why so serious?

    Bieber Balls Out, a Taylor Touchdown Celly, and College Football’s Firing Boom
    Oct 29 2025
    It was a big week in basketball news. Justin Bieber played in a rec league designed for “CEOs, VIPs, and people from all walks of life” (you may raise your eyebrows) while the NBA faces two scandals of its own. One deals with illegal sports betting and rigged poker games. The other? Jaylen Brown’s hairline. Also: Blake and Caroline surprise each other with sporty Halloween costumes for the pod, so watching on YouTube or Spotify is a must this week. In this week’s episode, we also discuss: The moment we became Justin Fields stans A World Series game so crazy, Blake and Caroline are even intrigued U.S. Soccer’s work to support pregnant and post-partum players on the USWNT Why getting fired as a college football coach is almost as lucrative as being an active one How to watch the NWSL Decision Day games this coming Sunday Send Its: The Lions fan who welcomed a new member into the fandom: https://www.instagram.com/p/DQPezPlgcIC/?img_index=2&igsh=NHU0NWI4ajRuYW14 Panthers players got us feeling old: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQKT1fSkRJC/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link The A’ja Wilson effect on Bam Adebayo’s game: https://www.instagram.com/p/DQO_avMga6L/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Travis Kelce hits the “The Fate of Ophelia” touchdown celly: https://www.tiktok.com/@courtneymarycrain/video/7566093931478273335 Blake’s IG: @blaaakkkke Caroline’s IG: @cghendy theSkimm’s IG: @theskimm Want more sports?

  • Simone’s First Flip Back, Sho-Time at the Series, and the Gross Trend in Women’s Sports Betting

    Simone’s First Flip Back, Sho-Time at the Series, and the Gross Trend in Women’s Sports Betting
    Oct 22 2025
    Shohei Ohtani showed us why he’s Him while the uncs of the NFL faced off in Thursday Night Football. Vintage Joe Flacco and Aaron Rodgers game to play, which left fans with a 2010s sense of whimsy. Simpler times. Meanwhile, Simone Biles flipped for the first time since getting her new cherries (IYKYK) and NFL WAGs Kylie Kelce and Olivia Culpo got clear on two things: 1) men need to stop saying “we’re pregnant” when expecting a baby and 2) that becoming a mom will probably give you an identity crisis – and that’s OK. In this episode of Well Played, we also cover: Drake Maye putting up Tom Brady-esque numbers Which WNBA star is Dallas Cowboys’ CeeDee Lamb’s good luck charm Why Mike Vrabel always addresses women first in press conferences Whether Joe Burrow is emo or dressing up as Conrad Fischer from “The Summer I Turned Pretty” for Halloween Thanks to our presenting sponsor, Beats!

    Timmy Takes Kylie to the Ballgame, Women Track Stars Get their Purse, and Frat Bros Run the Giants
    Oct 15 2025
    Thursday night was tough for the city of Brotherly love. The Eagles, Phillies, and Flyers fell to their foes. Giants rookies Cam Skattebo and Jaxson Dart – aka the frat bros running the Giants – showed Jalen Hurts and friends who’s boss. Meanwhile, we learned the solution to the so-called male loneliness epidemic: gather hundreds of male sports fans, let them take their shirts off, and swing in unison. Turns out camaraderie might just be the secret sauce. In this episode of Well Played, we also cover: Which Olympian recognized us at ATHLOS, the women’s only track-and-field invitational (yes, this is a brag) Whether Baker Mayfield is Him, aka: MVP Why Phoenix Mercury fans actually stayed after the WNBA Finals (hint: it has nothing to do with good sportsmanship Our favorite Send Its of the week, including the Colts cheerleaders winning our hearts, the Parent Trap nostalgia on DWTS, and the star-studded Lakers pre-season hype video Send Its: Lakers pre-season hype video: ⁠https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/46533657/los-angeles-lakers-natalia-bryant-preseason-hype-video⁠ Colts cheerleaders win us over: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/p/DPuHdh4ARBU/⁠ / ⁠https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPlw-b8jZje/⁠ Timmy takes Kylie to the ball game: ⁠https://people.com/timothee-chalamet-kylie-jenner-step-out-at-yankees-game-day-after-revealed-new-shaved-head-11827077⁠ Elaine Hendrix and Lisa Ann Walter reenact our favorite Parent Trap scene: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/p/DPrNR41ke8Q/⁠ Caroline’s IG: ⁠@cghendy⁠ Blake’s IG: ⁠@blaaakkkke⁠ theSkimm’s IG: ⁠@theskimm⁠ Want more sports?
