Girl At The Game

Dive into Boston legend this week as the girls are joined by the Barnicle brothers, Colin and Nick, to discuss their new Netflix docuseries, "This Is A Robbery," a fascinating and chilling dive into the infamous and still-unsolved Gardner Museum heist of 1990.

They also get into their expansive work in sports, talking about a wide range of topics, including (but not limited to) the Red Sox, WooSox, ARod, Robert Redford, the reunion of Bennifer, and being in a fantasy baseball league with their father, famed journalist Mike Barnicle.

Raul Shah has become known as "the hardest working man in professional baseball," and his journey is only just beginning. From college ball at Johns Hopkins, to Indy Ball, and now MLB's partner league with the Ogden Raptors, Shah has excelled at every stage of his career so far. He chats with Gabrielle about how he fell in love with baseball, working towards MLB during the pandemic, what it feels like to take a baseball to the face during an at-bat, and how hard work has gotten him to where he is and will get him where he's going, the Big Show.

One of MLB's brightest rising stars, MASN broadcaster Melanie Newman, joins the show for a very special and important episode. The gals discuss the latest sexual harassment revelations in MLB and what it's like to experience these behaviors firsthand, and the double standards and difficulties of being a woman in baseball. They also dive into Melanie's journey from the minor leagues to the big show, and what baseball is really like behind the scenes.

The Boston Bruins are pretty much the only bright spot for Boston sports fans, so Gab and Al welcome on their friend (and Al's coworker) Lauren Campbell of NESN to discuss Chara's departure, their playoff chances, the Lake Tahoe trip, the teams that scare Lauren, and of course, Pastrňák's Barbie Girl soundbite!

2020 Red Sox hero Martín Pérez is back on the pod to talk about his offseason, the fun new fitness activity he picked up to prepare for the upcoming baseball season, why he chose to return to Boston, and what fans can expect from the Red Sox this year.

And of course, the NFL season is over (much to Gabrielle's delight and Al's chagrin), so the girls recap the Super Bowl and the Halftime Show. The girls also talk about Gab finally binging the entire Kardashian television universe, New Englanders' obsession with drinking iced coffee in the winter, the new Dunkin drink you have to try, and so much more!

The first episode of 2021 is all about basketball! Gab and Al are joined by Boston.com sportswriter Tom Westerholm to discuss the James Harden trade, Kyrie Irving's latest shenanigans, the chemistry of the Brooklyn Nets, Jaylen Brown's fiery start to the season, is Payton Pritchard for real, COVID walloping the NBA, and so much more!

It's New Year's Eve, and the girls are reviewing the terrible, awful, no-good, mostly-bad year that was 2020. This episode has a little bit of everything, including Zdeno Chara unexpectedly leaving the Bruins yesterday, the Padres making big moves, James Harden versus Jaylen Brown for the Celtics, and more. On the non-sports end, Gab and Al swap some funny stories about strip clubs and Post Malone, before sharing what they are manifesting for 2021.

Happy New Year, and thank you for listening!

You know it's been a peak MLB week when the hirings of AJ Hinch and Alex Cora aren't even the most insane thing to happen around the league. Gab and Al discuss the two newly-reinstated and re-hired managers as well as recently unretired White Sox Manager-Elect Tony La Russa's Draco Malfoy moment during his arrest, and what all of these hirings mean for their various teams. They also discuss MLB handing out Gold Gloves during the Election and talk about crazy cyber-bullying incidents from the week.

Later in the episode, the girls pay tribute to Celtics' legend Tommy Heinsohn, who passed away on the day this episode was recorded. Heinsohn was a part of the Celtics organization for six decades as a player, coach, and broadcaster, for each of the 17 championships. Celtics Nation will not be the same without him.
