Speaking to the camera in full costume as Highland warrior Jamie Fraser, Sam reveals most of the "Outlander" cast is going to see Taylor in concert ... and that she's going to leave Travis for him once she sees his orange wig in the crowd.

The WNBA is the talk of the town right now, but that doesn't stop its star players from getting their cars towed ... just ask Phoenix Mercury guard Sophie Cunningham, who had to find that out the hard way.

The six-year vet documented the whole thing on Instagram on Wednesday ... saying she had to go all the way to "bum f*** nowhere" in the middle of Arizona in order to get her whip back.

She explained she got home around 2 AM and must've planted her car somewhere unauthorized ... 'cause when she woke up, it was gone.

It all went down in the second half of the contest when the Moroccans were up 2-1 ... and tensions boiled over following a foul by DR Congo forward Ruth Kipoyi.

You can see in video from the game's broadcast, Morrocan players raced over to Kipoyi to get in her face over the aggressive foul ... but things became heated.

Dirty feet are apparently commonplace in households with Kelces in them ... 'cause just days after Jason Kelce admitted he doesn't wash his feet, Travis Kelce revealed he, too, sometimes showers without soaping up his little piggies!!

The Kelce bros dove into the topic on Wednesday's episode of "New Heights" ... after Jason caused internet uproar earlier in the week when he posted on his X page that his bathing routine doesn't include scrubbing his tootsies.

Jason reiterated on the pod he thinks it's a complete waste of time ... telling Travis, "Who the f*** washes your legs or -- what kind of psychopath washes your feet?"

A trio of "Jeopardy!" contestants clearly needed to brush up on their sports knowledge prior to appearing on the game show Tuesday night ... 'cause they missed on some serious softballs, including one that simply asked them to identify NBA superstar Russell Westbrook.

The category that the three hilariously botched was titled "21st CENTURY SPORTS" ... and it became very clear quickly why it was the last subject the contestants took on in the first round of the contest.

In one of the first clues, host Ken Jennings asked the three which MLB team won the 2008 World Series. It offered up hints that the squad featured superstars like Cole Hamels and Ryan Howard.

The Chicago star's spat with the game official happened with 2:31 left in the fourth quarter of the Sky's tilt with the New York Liberty at Wintrust Arena.

The 22-year-old was whistled for a personal foul ... and she made it clear immediately she didn't agree with the call. She appeared to hurl some words at the ref -- before waving him off in disgust. However, after she made the motion with her hand, the official quickly called her for two technical fouls, and threw her out of the game.

If Caitlin Clark's teammates won't protect her from cheap shots on the court, Angel McCoughtry will ... saying she's down to sign with the Indiana Fever in a return to the league where she starred for years!
