Hilary Duff’s LeBron Moment, Tom Brady the Nose Pincher, and Olivia Ponton Gets Joe Burrow’s Family Pass
\Hilary Duff is making the rounds like LeBron James, bouncing from Florida to L.A. to Philly during her Lucky Me tour. Who’s gonna tell her she needs to make a pilgrimage to Cleveland? Meanwhile, Caroline recaps the snooze fest that was the Hall of Fame game, an unhinged speech by one of its inductees, and why the Hall of Fame voting committee should consider Tom Brady’s nose-pinching-when-swimming for his future candidacy.
In this episode, we also cover:
Cooper Kupp’s surprise invite to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding
Why Dijonai Carrington and Sophie Cunningham are in the WNBA spotlight yet again
The first two-time winner of the Tour de France Femmes, and why it took so long to get a women’s race in the first place
The 97-year-old woman who broke her own Guinness record
Listener messages, including a shout out for a listener who produces Hard Knocks, how to make supporting a team your entire personality, and why the Liberty waived Betnijah Laney-Hamilton
