Katie should have formally joined the LeBatard's crew at ESPN. Katie's target audience at ESPN was LeBatard fans. Dan would have given her the leash to succeed or fail. I'd love to see a Billy Gil v Katie Nolan show. Billy would drive Katie crazy. It would be magic.

[@codysterling9974]

Don’t know if Dan had that power when skipper left. Don’t think they loved having any “talent” without the suits being in Miami compared to having that in bristol/ny/la.

[@Metfan722]

@@caughtashotSmetty is awesome. As is Lucy. So is Katie, Mina, Sarah, and whomever else amongst the Lebatard crew I might be forgetting. I don't know why there's a competition between everyone.

[@maynardthegreat]

Katie and Soder are a great couple and I feel like a sports show with those 2 would actually be pretty good

[@BioHizzle.]

I've always enjoyed Katie Nolan's stuff when I've gotten to see it. I always felt like she was the "Talk Soup" for sports, which is something she's really good at.

[@foxshadow11]

I am such a huge fan of Katie Nolan. Her Sports? With Katie Nolan Podcast helped me through the pandemic.

[@fiatche]

1000%, Sports? was the best damn podcast on earth and ESPN just had no idea.

[@daniels2353]

I CRAVE content from Katie and have ever since ESPN demolished her podcast on a whim. I was once the voicemail for a pod episode and it was so fun. Someone out there has to know she can produce excellent content for us to enjoy!

[@Johnny82Utah]

One of the most underrated personalities in sports media. I've always appreciated the realness of Katie. Imagine her on McAfee, I think that marriage would be a fun watch.

[@antoniotruong5647]

Always liked Katie Nolan. ESPN really underutilized her.

[@genius179]

I think it wasn’t a good fit for both sides. ESPN didn’t know go to fit her personality in their shows. I mean they only gave her an ESPN+ show and I don’t think she is a person for ATH or PTI despite the fact I think she did on both of those shows. I think her and Bomani were dare I say shunned by ESPN in their talents once Skipper left.

[@johnjames502]

Because she's a talentless hack

[@TheKoolasstone]

Never understood why they didn't just give Garbage Time a regular slot on the main ESPN channel.

[@spectre244mc]

Ya she was one of my favorite ESPN people. I think it's because I got to see her with the lebatard crew and she was able to be herself

[@Captainpuntymidgets]

@@TheKoolasstoneyeah I might be completely wrong on this but I think airing a show like that later at night would’ve worked for them.

[@KK-pm7ud]

The real Katie is the best Katie. I wish people could speak freely more often without worry of a corporation suing you or getting punished on social media.

[@sixthorder]

My favorite part of that interview was when Katie talked about when Dan tried to recruit her to Meadowlark

[@tfive24]

When HQ went off the air, I thought she would have followed Dan and them.

[@Bild0zer]

I was excited, only to find out it’s a clip from the one I already watched :(

[@Bild0zer]

Will still watch it though

[@dougmacwilliam7391]

LOVE Katie! Hope she gets a gig soon.

[@johnedwards5738]

Yo that was a fantastic interview guyz 🤘

[@flopadoo8991]

Katie, if you see this. We miss you and Ashley and Jay and the POD and we hope to comes back. We need pupdates and dinosaur facts!

[@randallmartin2538]

I could listen to Katie talk about ANYTHING....#swoon 😌

[@naruto73syfy]

Loved Dan and his dad

[@ryanbachatarockstar]

Katie is the best! Anything she does, i would watch.

[@nicholassmith6701]

Now I want to know who released her contract to the media??

[@Eagle7433]

Not even gonna lie. I started watching Garbage Time just to look at her like a creep, but the show was actually good. She makes good content and was a welcomed change of pace from the typical sports shows. Wish she had her own show again.

[@markomunyokol]

It seems ESPN effectively paid her to not be on FOX. Take the money, and stop her building competition on a different network.

[@TheRichyrich1281]

They were pushing women at the time. And she was one of the biggest women stars. But those idiots didn't know how to use her.

[@danj4842]

Playing the algorithm game. What is, Meadowlark Media Video team?

[@naruto73syfy]

Katie is so good

[@Widemouth1832]

Katie is one of those people that was ahead of her time. Things have been different if she just quitting ESPN and did her own KZbin thing. I don't know if she would have made the same amount of money though as monetization wasn't the same way. Feels like she missed the boat in some ways.

[@MingRose]

ESPN has built quite the army of former employees they’ve screwed over.

[@desi_no_aka]

Love Katie

[@MrWwefan93]

Maybe i'm wrong, but i think Katie and Mina would be great together.

[@adp023]

Sounds like ESPN hired her, gave her a staff, a budget and the freedom to create anything she wanted with no one constantly bossing her around. And according to her, it wasn't a good thing??? What am I missing here??

[@craigtidwell7492]

Agreed she got millions and didn't do anything

[@Arcanenix]

Why exactly was espn statement?

[@hypersphere]

you missed most of what she said, apparently.

[@richardschulz2371]

Loved her and her show garbage time. Shame haven’t seen any of her stuff since being moved all over place.

[@Bman32x]

Honestly surprised Katie Nolan wasn’t a formal LeBatard AF member. I saw her in the same boat as Amin, as soon as the show left ESPN I knew Amin was following them wherever they went. I still see her that way.

[@rayreese8924]

Not knowing who Ian Darke is and being a sportscaster is absolutely criminal

[@JustinFoSho]

She is still under utilized... she's got a great personality, she's a very big sports fan, she is subjective and can take criticism... her podcast was absolutely amazing and yet sadly... ESPN said she can't be the cool person she is... because they're a terrible industry... she also had a pretty good episode of drunk history xD

[@johnedwards5738]

We nead a Katie and Beadle podcast

[@RonJohnson43]

How dare she disrespect Ian Darke like that!

[@905north9]

This women vanished from my media and I never noticed

[@Arcanenix]

lol just thinking the same

[@Ynkno]

how intolerant

[@markarren7480]

Love you. Mean it.

[@craigtidwell7492]

Espn made her a millionaire but it never worked out content wise at least she got the bag.

[@petercofrancesco9812]

This interview was from Oct of 2023 why is it being posted now like it's new?

[@LeBatardShow]

Hey Peter, this isn’t being posted like it’s new. Sorry for any confusion but it’s common to repurpose clips from the video at different times. Katie talking about what she experienced at ESPN is very similar to the things in the news this week about the network.

[@BeatUofA]

Understand clips being repurposed, but this did pop up as a recommendation and was titled as if it were new content or a new interview. I feel tricked but then again I also watched the clip again, which I guess...well played?

[@petercofrancesco9812]

I'm not mad and I enjoyed the interview when it first aired. But that doesn't prevent me from pointing out it's not new.@@LeBatardShow

[@marcboss6]

She has always been fascinating to me. Cuteness and snark

[@louisloother301]

She completely set back her career with her moves 😂😂😂

[@strikerreese4795]

and yet here you are watching her

[@MinisterManDan]

The Norbster put another notch on his gun

[@johnjames502]

​​@@strikerreese4795 What does she do?

[@Arcanenix]

What exactly she do to set back her career ?

@@Arcanenix be talentless

Dan get her on the team

[@MaddieLivingston42069]

I’m happy this small clip got more views than the A-Rod interview #hater #FJ #FootJob

[@josephsedqy8168]

I don’t like this guy asking Katie all these questions, there’s only one Dan in her life sir! lol

[@ace1gl]

ESPN gave her a golden opportunity and she dropped the ball. Did very little with a lot and has almost no accountable of her short coming in the situation.

[@Arcanenix]

How exactly did she drop the ball?

[@ZachHall]

It's almost like you didn't listen to her at all

[@hypersphere]

lol, what. a show that ran occasionally on ESPN+ when nobody had it, you think this is some kind of massive opportunity lol

[@awaloumohammad]

Katie Gets the Show

[@whyimsmarterthanyou]

Ian Darke is a freakin' legend. Who the heck is this chick? She's cute . . . at least more so than Darke.

[@gabdex83]

Definitely testing the algorithm to see if just adding "ESPN" = viral. For this channel, for better or worse, it works.

[@josephberg1586]

She’s the bomb 😂 this will get erased. Crackle crackle forever. Dan got my dream girl. Soder not Patrick or Lebatard

[@rodstudemire6966]

Huge Katie Nolan fan

[@vdoggydogg3922]

She was a one trick pony...was hard to use her at espn. Bad hiring for them if you ask me.

[@andrewoolman]

At least fox sports used her right

[@jackie2joints248]

They have the same owner

[@4biz]

LOVED KATIE NOLAN.I WISH DAN WOULD'VE HAD HIRED HER.AT LEAST DAN WOULD HAVE CARED FOR HER.HE HELPED HER,TAUGHT HER&NOURSHED HER&ALL OF THE PEOPLE THATS HE HELPED ALONG THE WAY.HE HELPED PABLO,DOM,SARAH,MINA,JEMELE,ETC.DAN HAS A LOVING HEART&CARED FOR THEM OUT THE GOODNESS OF HIS HEART.

bro caps lock

[@timmytv7554]

All Katie needs is a few more 7 figure opportunities and it will finally happen for her.

[@KK-pm7ud]

So we never got to see Garbage Time anymore because ESPN and Fox fumbled a trade???

[@johnedwards5738]

... failure , the best teacher is...

[@lukehferris]

Garbage Time forever.

[@IHJello]

As time goes on I see Katie was way too involved. Ok you got your foot in the door. That doesnt mean you own the house. Dan is too stoned to realize his weed medicates him from Katie.

[@stevemad123]

Katie is always full of excuses

[@j4vice]

zz zzz ...

[@thedrizzle619]

katie got shafted bad by espn

[@ctwwtc8761]

Limousine liberals

[@biggmaki]

shes still hot

[@mikegray5826]

YES, she is AND she does NOT shave or laser, she is a NATURAL woman with a Thick Full SHRUB!!!!

And how 😊 does one find this discovery ?

[@Rico513]

I read this in Greg Cote's voice

[@biggmaki]

Hahahahaha

[@DannyXXXXX]

Sexiest feet I've ever seen in real life.

[@DannyXXXXX]

She had to because her soon to be husband Dan Soder's career is in the tank.

[@Metfan722]

Mind explaining that?

[@danielandrewgrant]

I miss the days when sports reporters actually knew something about sports.

[@GabGotti3]

Katie is 10z funnier than Pat McAfee

[@carldavies4990]

Was not a fan at all.

[@Anthonycheesman33]

She should have stayed with fox

Is katie nolan another college graduate, childless woman??

[@GruneD]

Nothing against Nolan but I never liked her show 😅

[@stefanharris659]

Dan sucks

[@conantheagrarian]

the decision should have been an Invisalign sponsorship but some of us are just too good for straight aesthetically pleasing teeth in the extreme close up industry.

[@kfishback71]

What in the holy...?

[@jongranlund-washingtoniant6371]

She should have gone to barstool. She would be the biggest star in sports media

[@droctagon529]

I thought she did? I remember her doing some content with the PMT guys. Maybe that was just a one off though?

[@omgjimmyboy]

Yeah she was up and coming on the internet and instead went legacy sports media and disappeared

[@jaycepero8069]

I always liked her until we had a Twitter disagreement. It was awhile ago but her Stan’s came to her rescue.

[@timbrown6715]

Dan in every interview you do, you lead the witness to fit your narrative…it’s sickening

[@johnjames502]

Remember when they tried to make this woman a thing? Lol, what a disaster.

[@LeBatardShow]

Remember when you clicked on the video to see what she had to say?

[@johnjames502]

@LeBatardShow It was like clicking on a link of a former reality TV star you thought was dead. Of course she's not dead, just her career.

[@omgjimmyboy]

@@LeBatardShow she’s not going to sleep with you bro.

[@MrAaronchicago]

What Career she's horrible and knows absolutely nothing about sports!
