Welcome to the first show of 2025!

After two weeks away, The Sports Gossip Show is starting the new year off with a bang by announcing that you can call or text us 712-7GOSSIP (712-746-7747)! Send your hottest takes, your juiciest tips, and your best jokes — if they’re funny enough, Madeline and Charlotte might even play them on the show.  

Now onto the good stuff: The thirst trap artist returns. AKA, Tom Brady posted another picture where he is shirtless. This time he wasn’t fishing, but he did show off how he throws a football. Then Madeline gives a rundown of all the athlete engagements you missed over the break, and discusses her deep dive on Impersonal Foul into athlete flower arrangements. 

Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones is waiting for his EGOT: Madeline and Charlotte dissect his star turn in Taylor Sheridan’s show Landman. Spoiler alert: He’s a very good actor?? Speaking of dramatic turns, NBA star Jimmy Butler and the Heat are locked into a war of the wills because Jimmy wants out. Is this like a marriage? Maybe! Speaking of NBA, Draya Michele brought her 22-year-old son to see her 22-year-old boyfriend/father of her child/NBA star Jalen Green play basketball. 

Kristen Cavallari wants us to think she’s dating Tom Brady, and Bill Belichick’s 24-year-old girlfriend is bedazzling UNC gear. Madeline talks about how Notre Dame beat her Georgia Bulldogs, and why she’s rooting for the Irish now (spoiler alert: their head coach Marcus Freeman is hot). There’s a lot of drama with the San Diego Padres ownership, and it’s almost exactly like a plotline from the TV show Succession. In other baseball news, Shohei Ohtanhi and his wife Mamiko Tanaka are expecting a baby! And, finally, some coaches got fired, Joe Burrow isn’t in the playoffs, and actress Edie Falco wants to punch NBA player TJ McConnell in the face. Happy new year!

Madeline and Charlotte watched Enigma, that three-hour long documentary about Aaron Rodgers on Netflix and are telling you what they thought about it.

It’s quite an experience: the footage takes viewers along with Rodgers as he contemplates becoming Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s running mate, as he tries to return to the football field with the New York Jets after tearing his Achilles tendon, and as he does Ayahuasca in Costa Rica. Rodgers also touches on his brother Jordon’s appearance on The Bachelorette, where Jordan revealed that Aaron and his family are no longer on speaking terms.

The gals also figured out the key to Rodgers’ happiness using astrocartography. Find another podcast doing that.

The series itself was pretty boring, but it was fascinating to look at the broader meaning of the whole project. What is a true documentary? Why do we still watch stuff about and care about Aaron Rodgers? Why does this series perpetuate dangerous ideas that don’t get fact-checked? And what does it all say about us as a society?

All that and more!

This week’s episode of the Sports Gossip Show starts where you all knew it would: talking about how Magic Johnson went to Erewhon to try D’Angelo Russell’s new expensive smoothie. Madeline and Charlotte learn that a LeBron James meme greatly influenced Gracie Abrams’ music, and Charlotte reveals her personal connection to Gracie.

Travis Kelce had to go to a Chiefs’ holiday party on Taylor Swift’s birthday, but they made it work (he’s a company man!). Taylor also visited kids in a Kansas City hospital and joked about the 49ers, which was all very sweet and wholesome. And the gals shoutout Kylie Kelce’s new No. 1 podcast.

Bill Belichick is the new head coach of the University of North Carolina’s football team because the NFL didn’t want him. Madeline and Charlotte wonder if his girlfriend, 24-year-old Jordon, is pulling the strings? And then a quick Aaron Rodgers update involving…curses?

Joe Burrow’s house was robbed while he was playing the Cowboys in Dallas and a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, Olivia Ponton, was there. Madeline and Charlotte don’t really know what’s going on, but they do that Joe really seems to be going through it. Heisman winner Travis Hunter also seems to be going through it — because people are mad that his girlfriend, ​​Leanna Lenee, didn’t stand up at the Heisman ceremony. She attempted to set the record straight, and it’s all pretty silly.

Plus: Ohio wants to make planting flags a felony, and the Pop Tart bowl just keeps getting better and better.

Madeline and Charlotte start off The Sports Gossip Show today with a few updates. The first photos of Gisele Bündchen (Tom Brady’s ex-wife) surfaced after she announced she’s expecting a baby with her jiu-jitsu-instructor boyfriend. She looks very happy on the beach!! And women’s former soccer star Ali Krieger issued a masterful non-statement statement about her divorce from former soccer player Ashlyn Harris — is this because of what Harris said on a podcast?

Then it’s time for actual breaking news: the FIRST EVER EXCLUSIVE Sports Gossip Show scoop regarding actor Timothée Chalamet’s picks on College GameDay. Listen and learn!

The gals then dive into how Caitlin Clark is Time’s Athlete of the Year and was photographed by Cass Bird (this leads to a brief tangent about Cass Bird and her fiancé Jenna Lyons). We watched a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader watch her boyfriend kick a field goal against the Cowboys...and it’s fine. Also, Tennis star Taylor Fritz dyed his hair blonde and regretted it, so he dyed it back to brown.

Speaking of bleached hair, Bengals’ quarterback Joe Burrow wore an eccentric suit and bought a Batmobile for….a lot of money (this leads to a brief tangent about flared pants and boat shoes). Is it because his Saturn is in return? And WNBA player Kate Martin got drafted to be a Golden State Valkyrie. Martin’s girlfriend Claire Gransee posted a very cute video about it.

And finally, the trailer for the Netflix documentary about Aaron Rodgers called “Enigma” dropped….and it seems like he is anything but an enigma. He says he’ll disappear after he retires, and the gals aren’t buying it. Finally, Shailene Woodley spoke about being engaged to Rodgers and how depressed she’s been since they broke it off.

This week kicks off with two facts that Madeline and Charlotte learned from their followers on Instagram — keep the tips coming! Then it’s time for the Taylor Swift update of the week: she hosted Travis and the entire Kelce family at her home in Nashville (including our favorite, Kylie Kelce)!

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen got engaged to actress Hailee Steinfeld in Malibu, and then his ex-girlfriend claimed she was hacked after her account posted a wild comment on Instagram. Do Madeline and Charlotte believe her? Where will Josh and Hailee get married? The gals cover it all.

Then they dive into how Ali Krieger medium-launched a new girlfriend, Scottish soccer player Jen Beattie. Madeline and Charlotte also cover the big brawls that took place over rivalry weekend in college football. Maybe because there were no Black Friday sales? Ohio State and Michigan (and many other schools) showed why college football might have to ban flags at football games.

Speaking of college football, former football coach Urban Meyer was seen at a grocery store bar in Ohio, seemingly alone. Also, Aaron Rodgers once again threw his teammates under the bus, and The Sports Gossip Show is talking about it, because he is in the 27th season of a bad reality show that they can’t quit. The episode rounds out with Tom Brady’s latest Instagram post, which is a shirtless thirst trap featuring a fish. Is this a call for ladies to slide into his DMs?

The gals start out the Thanksgiving Week podcast by talking about Wicked, which is basically the Iron Bowl from 2013. Then, Madeline and Charlotte go into one of the most important updates of the week: Kylie Kelce — Jason Kelce’s wife and Travis Kelce’s sister-in-law — announced she’s pregnant and is also starting a new podcast! Kylie, if you’re reading this, we’d like to be friends and please come on The Sports Gossip Show. Also, Ed Kelce, Jason’s and Travis’ father, went to the Eras Tour, which is basically a proposal. One more Taylor Swift-related update: Khalen Saunders went to the Eras Tour. If you don’t know who that is, listen to the show.

Then it’s time for the Aaron Rodgers update of the week, which is that the Jets are falling apart. Madeline explains why the Jets are basically a celebrity brand at this point. The Giants are also falling apart — and Tommy DeVito is back with his Italian hand gestures. Charlotte is upset that her favorite steakhouse in New York City just sold to Tilman Fertitta, the owner of the Rockets. Celtics star Jaylen Brown met Bill Nye The Science Guy and immediately had an incredible game.

Then it’s time to talk about Tom Brady’s auction at Sotheby’s — which is for aesthetes? The show ends with two very important stories about butts. Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

This episode of The Sports Gossip Show starts with the important stuff — Joe Burrow wore a baby blue suit. So Madeline and Charlotte discuss it, as well as the Bengals’ struggles despite heroics from Joey B. Beyoncé is performing at the Netflix Christmas games…that is, if the stream works. Then it’s time for your weekly Tom Brady update, because he went to a Knicks game, and so did Anne Hathaway (she lost her popcorn).

Then the gals discuss the great news that “Inside The NBA” sticking around — and find an apt comparison in the reality TV space. Livvy Dunne and Paul Skenes had a very awkward video go viral, so naturally Madeline and Charlotte dissect it and end up talking about snacks and being tall.

The Chiefs undefeated streak ended last weekend, and somehow this leads to wondering if Jordyn Woods and Tristan Thompson will be reunited at MSG in April? The Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla has been saying the weirdest things, and Madeline has a revelation that breaks Charlotte’s heart. Also, the Cowboys are quite literally falling apart, and Jerry Jones needs to let go. Plus: New Pop-Tart bowl mascots!

In this week’s episode of The Sports Gossip Show, Madeline and Charlotte thank everyone who’s listened so far, because the show has surpassed 500,000 downloads! They couldn’t do it without all of your support, so please keep listening and telling your friends. 

Then they dive right in, because Taylor Swift wore an interesting outfit to the Chiefs game, where she watched her boyfriend Travis Kelce tie a Chiefs’ record (this prompts a discussion about cake at work and performance reviews). Taylor and Travis also posed with tennis star Frances Tiafoe, who was at the game with his tennis player girlfriend, Ayan Broomfield. Madeline and Charlotte dive into the lore of Taylor and Travis at the US Open (also, someone should send the Sports Gossip Show to Wimbledon next year, just saying). Travis’s ex-girlfriend, Kayla Nicole, said a few things that raise the question: what’s the etiquette on friends post-breakup slash being in weddings in your 20s? 

Madeline and Charlotte give the latest Aaron Rodgers update (keep this man employed!). Then, they talk about how the Auburn men’s basketball team had to turn a plane around on the way to a game because two players got into a fight. Speaking of fights, NBA stars Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jaylen Brown got into a “childish” fight…or was it? The sports gossipers also provide an update about Tom Brady’s vlog. Plus, more evidence for the theory about when he found out his ex-wife, Gisele Bunchen, was pregnant. 

The gals close out the show by psychoanalyzing LeBron James’ dreams and explaining why Duke University needs him to play for them, followed by a quick update on the DeMar DeRozan/Drake feud, which involves the owner of the Sacramento Kings. Oh, and Freddie Freeman got a cat.

It’s election day in America, and Madeline and Charlotte are very glad they can bury their heads in sports gossip — hopefully this is an escape for you, too, in the days to come. 

So let’s get into it: Taylor Swift was at the Chiefs game and wore shorts again, which the gals have thoughts about. Kelly Stafford, wife of LA Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, said that the NFL showed Taylor Swift too much at the games that it outshone the players. But then she dressed as Taylor Swift for Halloween? Madeline and Charlotte have questions. Also, Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen threw a Halloween party, which seems like a lot of work. 

Then, a few crucial updates: more evidence that Bill Belichick’s 23-year-old girlfriend is running his Instagram, plus what his ex-girlfriend dressed up as for Halloween (hint: it was the same thing as Karlie Kloss). Madeline provides a key follow-up to Tom Brady finding out his ex-wife Gisele was pregnant (it has to do with his vlogs). 

The rapper Drake and former Raptor DeMar DeRozan got into a fight. Sort of. It was really one-sided, but the gals dive into it anyway. How does LeBron factor into this? Listen and learn. Then, Jordyn Woods’ has a new song and her boyfriend, Knicks star, Karl-Anthony Towns, appears in the music video. Speaking of the Kardashians, Tristan Thompson is still on the Cavs. Madeline and Charlotte end by talking about how Jaylen Brown wants to meet Bill Nye (who doesn’t?).

Madeline and Charlotte start off this week’s episode of The Sports Gossip Show with an update about Love Is Blind and the Washington Wizards. Then, it’s time to talk about tennis player Taylor Fritz’s new hairdo à la Joe Burrow — is bleaching your hair the athlete equivalent of getting bangs? WNBA MVP Aja Wilson and NBA player Bam Adebayo finally showed up together in public at Dwyane Wade’s statue unveiling at the Miami Heat arena. Wade’s statue looks funky but he defended it, and the gals have some questions. 

Aaron Rodgers update: He’s learned some new big words, and he’s talking about the darkness. Also, Madeline tells Charlotte that the Jets former coach is now working for the Green Bay Packers, Aaron’s old team. 

And then, the biggest news of the week: SUPERMODEL GISELE BÜNDCHEN (TOM BRADY’S EX) IS PREGNANT WITH HER JIU-JITSU INSTRUCTOR’S BABY! In fairness, they’re dating. Madeline and Charlotte give the background of Gisele and Tom Brady’s divorce and their life together in Boston. Tom Brady then posted an Instagram story of a beautiful landscape with Fleetwood Mac lyrics accompanying it — was he wishing her well? The Sports Gossip Show also receives its first “no comment” ever. 

Then, to round out the show, Madeline and Charlotte tell everybody to vote. Then, Charlotte tells a story about Knicks and Madison Square Garden owner James Dolan, and Madeline wonders why the Democrats chose Milwaukee coach Doc Rivers to close out the election cycle, given that he has a record of blowing 3-1 leads in the playoffs.
