Boston, Brawls, and Baseball | with Matt Damon, Ben Affleck & Joe Carnahan of "The Rip"

Hello! It's the podcast that knows if you're really just here for Matt & Ben, you can go ahead and skip to [45:10], but we love you and hope you stick around. Today, Katie and the Casualties discuss Spit Takes, the Payts, Eight-year-olds in hockey brawls, the Olympic hockey venue, UConn's newest Etsy witch, and the worst headlines of the week, before getting into the sports news of the day and talking about the Steelers' loss, Mike Tomlin's resignation, Nolan Arenado's trade to Arizona, and the Red Sox bringing in Ranger Suarez. Then, Katie welcomes in Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, and director Joe Carnahan of "The Rip" to talk about their latest venture with Netflix, bringing a high-intensity Miami police drama to life, having to pick between watching Teyana Taylor at the Golden Globes or the Patriots in the Playoffs, their first on-screen fight after forty years of friendship, Patriots football and the revelation that is Drake Maye, Mike Vrabel turning the team around, and the Payts' Super Bowl chances, the 2026 Red Sox, the front office, and the sadness and anger of losing Alex Bregman, their history with Fenway, whether they've softened their stance on the Dodgers, and the true test of just how well Matt and Ben know each other's fandom.
