The Sports Gossip Show

The gals hopped on a live on a Friday night, because sports gossip never sleeps.

Madeline and Charlotte are back with a very loopy, old-school Sports Gossip episode for their dear shareholders! First up: LeBron stopped posting inspirational quotes — did the gals influence this? Also, Jay-Z hired himself to perform the Super Bowl halftime show. His company is his friend!

The WNBA Finals and the Atlanta Dream have done a magnificent job of botching the scheduling for a potential Championship-clinching game in Atlanta on Thursday, but at least the game will be played at a real arena…just at 12:30pm. Former Celtics teammates Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum are kind of fighting with each other, but it’s mostly Jaylen Brown egging the whole thing on. 

And finally, some news about one of SGS’s main characters: Tom Brady is dating his ex-wife Gisele’s Bünchen’s ex-coworker Candice Swanepoel. The two have been hanging out for a while, apparently, and it appears that Tom has a thing for Victoria’s Secret models. Is Gisele bothered by this? Listen to find out!

Madeline and Charlotte are thrilled to be joined by Coach Jackie, the content creator and host of the new podcast “Is She Game?” 

The gals talk to Jackie about how she became an internet sensation and where she comes from, the WNBA Finals between the Dream and the Valkyries, Golden State head coach Natalie Nakase’s intense practice strategy, the importance of investing in women’s sports (it’s just good business!), a wild story in international cricket, and much more!

Madeline and Charlotte are back with another deep dive into a very famous athlete’s Instagram — this time, it’s LeBron James. LeBron is about to kick off his 24th season in the NBA, when the Sixers face the Knicks, and the gals have a feeling that he may be subtly crashing out on the internet. 

Madeline has been taking screenshots of LeBron’s Instagram Story posts since he announced he was joining the Sixers in July. He’s been posting up to 16 quote cards a day, seemingly of AI text. After an overview of LeBron’s career and history on social media, the gals get into their theories about how he’s facing his own mortality, his family, what happens when athletes retire, and why they think LeBron is really going through it. 

Madeline and Charlotte are back with another episode about one of SGS’s main characters, Mr. Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. A new book just came out by Lars Anderson called Brady: An American Story and the Price of Greatness. 

The gals read the book and invited Jennifer Wilson, a staff writer at The New Yorker, to join them on the show, since she reviewed it. Madeline and Charlotte first talk about how the book backs up all their theories about what Tom has been going through recently via his social media. Then, the gals talk to Jennifer about what “the price of greatness” really means, missing political context in the story, the framing of his marriage to Gisele Bündchen, and who, at his core, the book reveals Tom to be. 

Madeline and Charlotte are back with a jam-packed episode! 

First up: NFL updates — Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and his coach Mike McCarthy got into it on the field, and Aaron won’t stop talking about his “pregnant wife.” Former Steelers coach Mike Tomlin spent 12 years building a Minecraft house, so there’s that. The coverage around Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson, who was accused of sexual assault by 27 women, was shameful. 

Victor Wembenyama said that he will not be doing any gambling ads, and LeBron is using the Fanatics corporate helicopter to commute from Philly to New York City. 

And finally, the big story today: the unfortunate series of events that are going on surrounding the Indiana Fever and their players and fanbase. Kelsey Mitchell gave an exit interview in which she said it’s hard playing when Fever fans don’t like you, and that it can be hard to be on Caitlin Clark’s team. The Fever’s response was…not great, and a bunch of former players are speaking out. The gals break it all down.

Madeline is off today, so Charlotte is back with dear friend of the show Jessica Smetana to give you all the gossip you need for the WNBA playoffs!

First up: Fever-Aces. The series is tied 1-1 after Caitlin Clark went off for 27 points on Tuesday night — but will the interaction Aja Wilson had with a fan fuel Las Vegas to a win in Game 3? Then, a quick tangent to talk about the senate hearing where a Republican confused the Atlanta Hawks with the Iowa Hawkeyes. Plus, some fun facts about the Fever head coach Steph White and a dissection of WNBA head coach style. 

The No. 8-seed Liberty swept the No.1-seed Lynx — did Minnesota’s vibes just run out? Where was star Olivia Miles? Charlotte reveals some fun facts about Minnesota head coach Cheryl Reeve and her wife, and the gals talk about whether Lynx star Napheesa Collier will resign. 

Wings star Paige Bueckers and soccer star Megan Rapinoe had a strange interaction before the Wings played the Valkyries, Jess loves the Mystics because of Sonia Citron, and the Dream are vibing. Finally, Jess talks about her beloved Chicago Sky.

Madeline and Charlotte are back with an episode full of SGS main characters! They start off with Taylor Swift, who released a sports video in the form of the “Patient Zero” music video. Along with Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, the broadcasters Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson both had significant others featured in the video. 

UNC head coach Bill Belichick was spotted at a high school football game scouting players with his girlfriend, Jordon Hudson. The Patriots’ vibes couldn’t be worse, and the gals think head coach Mike Vrabel and owner Robert Kraft have brought remarkably bad karma to the team. The WNBA playoffs started (don’t worry, full episode coming soon), the Liberty beat the Lynx, and Breanna Stewart has been posting about it. Jalen Brunson was on SNL as the season opening guest, and most of the sketches were…quite horny. 

Finally, Manchester City has been found guilty of doing a lot of corruptions, proving that men really don’t ever think about PR!

Madeline and Charlotte are back with a jam-packed episode! 

First up, Raiders quarterback Fernando Mendoza’s partnership with OpenAI and a Tom Brady surprise. Texas quarterback Arch Manning issued an apology for laughing at a horrible AI video of ESPN’s Holly Rowe, and the gals dissect it. On Tuesday, many major men's sports leagues sent a letter to state gaming regulators saying they’re worried about the harassment athletes deal with because of sports betting. They didn’t include any women's sports leagues and the WNBPA was like….pardon?

There’s going to be increased security when LSU head coach (and former Ole Miss head coach) Lane Kiffin goes back to Oxford for Ole Miss-LSU — specifically, 19 officers on horseback. And, finally, the rapper Macklemore recently said Free Palestine when he opened for Ed Sheeran. He was then dropped from Sheeran’s tour, and it turns out that Patriots owner Bob Kraft led the charge. The gals talk about what people with money will do to try to silence messages they don’t like.

Madeline and Charlotte are back with another episode of Sports Gossip, in which they dissect a very bad week for women in sports. 

First, a few fun things: Taylor Swift was at Travis Kelce’s home-opener (in which the Chiefs beat the Broncos) with…Tom Cruise? Also, Widow’s Bay won a bunch of Emmy’s, which isn’t sports, but sort of is. The US women won their fifth-straight FIBA World Cup gold medal, and the content coming out of it from Angel Reese and all the players was great. 

Okay, time for the bad stuff. Elena Rybakina won the US Open, and there are some not-great things going on with her coach, Stefano Vukov. Alexander Zverev also won the US Open, and multiple women have accused him of domestic violence, yet the ATP has done nothing about it. Texas quarterback Arch Manning publicly laughed at an AI-generated clip of his head coach, Steve Sarkisian, slapping ESPN reporter Holly Rowe. And the actress Sydney Sweeney appeared in a very sexist ad for a sports betting company in which she has equity. The gals talk about where we are as a society, and how all of these things are related.
