The Sports Gossip Show opens on an actually serious note today with LA Dodger Kiké Hernandez and his very important support of the immigrant community of Los Angeles. Then, because this is the world we live in, Madeline and Charlotte do some real compartmentalization and get into the fact that Donna Kelce, mother of NFL and podcast stars Jason and Travis, has been cast on the next season of Traitors. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce went to a Stanley Cup game and they wore shorts. Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers says he’s married, but his family doesn’t believe it. Is he married the way he was “immunized?” The gals have questions. Bill Belichick’s gf, Jordon Hudson, posted on her Instagram grid again for the first time in a long time, and is she….telling us something about her relationship? The Red Sox traded star player Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants, once again proving SGS’s point that your employer is not your friend, and that they only want Company Men. Hailee Steinfeld sent out pictures of her wedding to Bills quarterback Josh Allen on her newsletter — it turns out that Madeline and Charlotte called her whole wedding. Plus, the etiquette of wedding rules and commenting on other people’s weddings. The gals have an update on WNBA star Paige Bueckers and UConn star Azzi Fudd, and the vibes are bad on the Dallas Wings because of the coach with a man bun. LSU star Flau’Jae Johnson says she and former teammate Angel Reese aren’t friends (but she’s very cool about it?). And, finally, someone get Reggie Miller a stylist! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Madeline and Charlotte have a bone to pick with Ben Stiller: he presented Best Play at the Tony Awards and joked that that isn’t an overlap between people who watch the Tonys and like sports — but we are the place for that overlap, Ben!!! Secondly, a few corrections about Spike Lee and his best friend Al Palagonia. And an update about Hailee Steinfeld’s dad. Coco Gauff took home her first French Open win on Saturday, beating Aryna Sabalenka. Sabalenka said some stuff that she had to walk back at her press conference, and Coco’s dad is very relatable because he’s too stressed to watch his daughter. Carlos Alcaraz continued Rafa Nadal’s tradition of winning on clay, beating Janick Sinner in one of the longest matches ever. Also, some info about Alcaraz’s barber, and Skinner recently announced he’s single and met the pope. An Aaron Rodgers update: He signed with the Steelers, and he might be married (of course news broke after the gals recorded confirming that he’s married). The Knicks fired Tom Thibodeau, and the players went clubbing. Madeline details some drama between the US Men’s National Team drama starring commentator and former player Landon Donovan and USMNT star Christian Pulisic. And, finally, the Dallas Cowboys went dancing. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Madeline and Charlotte start the show off with a few admin orders of business and a couple quick and important “informercials,” then it’s down to business. The Knicks are out of the NBA Playoffs, and the Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers will be facing off in the Finals. But before they get to that, the gals go over some of the last Knicks gossip of the season (full disclosure: this episode was recorded before New York fired Tom Thibodeau). Including: Is Jalen Brunson annoyed at Karl-Anthony Towns? Are Allie Brunson and Jordyn Woods promoting a specific narrative? Who is the guy who sits next to Spike Lee and why is he a white collar criminal? And how did Timothée Chalamet get Kylie Jenner to go to Indiana on a Saturday night? Then, on to Indiana and Oklahoma City — this matchup might be exciting, but it’s not sexy yet. The gals explain. Charlotte tells a story about how she once had to sleep in a train car inside a hotel, and Madeline tells everybody that she listens to Soulja Boy when she feels claustrophobic on the subway. Let’s be honest, this episode is a little unhinged (complimentary). Actress Hailee Steinfeld and Buffalo Bills star Josh Allen got married! The gals break down the flowers, the venue, and the fact that Larry David was there — and three of Josh’s teammates were groomsmen! Then it’s time for a little NHL, because the Stanley Cup Final matchup is set, and it’s a rematch of the Florida Panthers and the Edmonton Oilers. Which, of course brings the gals to check in on the flowers at Oilers star Conor McDavid’s wedding. Then, Steph Curry really loves Benson Boone, as evidenced by a video that came out at a music festival. And, finally, Tom Brady might want a specific person to reply to his Instagram story, and the gals explain why. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Madeline tells Charlotte about her disastrous travel day yesterday, which is why The Sports Gossip Show is coming to you on a Wednesday instead of a Tuesday. But the good news is that Madeline still got her Tuesday Chick-fil-A, and she also found the cheese shop from that Capital One commercial. The gals start off with the NBA Playoffs. The Minnesota Timberwolves and the Oklahoma City Thunder have been playing to see who comes out of the Western Conference, but the real drama has been in the East. Simply put: The Knicks’ vibes are totally off. There has to be some co-worker interpersonal drama going on, because nothing else could explain the kind of strange collapses the team has had (also, the President of the Knicks, Leon Rose, is star Jalen Brunson’s godfather). The Pacers have been cookin’ thanks to Tyrese Haliburton, whose dad was banned from games after getting into a fight with Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo. His dad is allowed back at the arena now, and Haliburton is ballin’. Karli Kloss is joining the ownership group of the New York Liberty — and does anyone else think she and her husband are strategically trying to tie themselves to Taylor Swift still? Real Swifties know. In other women’s basketball news, did former UConn teammates Azzi Fudd and Paige Bueckers just hard launch their relationship on TikTok? Then, a quick check in on football coach Bill Belichick, who once again renamed his boat — potentially because he’s engaged to Jordon Hudson. Unless it’s just commemorating her cheerleading national championship. Tough to say. Staying in New England for a moment, the Humphrey sisters from Darien, Connecticut won a lacrosse national championship at UNC, which is a story Charlotte tells Madeline that involves some serious tangents. F1’s Lando Norris hard-launched his girlfriend, Margarida Corceiro, at the Monaco Grand Prix, so Madeline explains what that’s all about. NFL rookie Travis Hunter’s new wife wore a very compressed flower veil, and he gave her a car at their wedding. And, finally, Andy Murray is no longer coaching tennis star Novak Djokovic, which that gals could’ve told you was never a good idea. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Today, Madeline and Charlotte welcome a very special guest: Thanks to the NBA, the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy came to visit at the studio (aka Charlotte’s apartment)! A true dream guest who helped the gals with their Sports Gossip Show Eastern and Western Conference Finals preview episode. The Knicks haven’t made it this far in 25 years, and it’s against the Pacers, the last team they played in the ECFs, and the team that knocked them out of the playoffs last year. In the West, the Oklahoma City Thunder are facing the Minnesota Timberwolves, and it’s a war of the young stars: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Anthony Edwards. Also, Shai is playing his cousin, Nickeil Alexander-Walker. Plus: Knicks WAGs, Myles Turner has a huge collection of legos, “Doin’ it for Mike,” and more!Also, Giannis Antetokounmpo did a very intriguing Q+A on Twitter, and the gals talk about their trip to the Liberty home opener on Saturday. Then, the big announcement: Jordon Hudson followed The Sports Gossip Show on Instagram. So Madeline and Charlotte invite her to make an appearance! The new Bill Belichick PR machine seems to be working, because the narrative is changing. Also, are they engaged?A quick shoutout to Toronto Maple Leaf fans, who are really going through it. Then, some Premier League gossip: two people were arrested on charges of blackmailing Son Heung-min — a player for Tottenham Hotspur and one of South Korea’s most famous athletes — with paternity claims, the police said on Sunday. Also, a golfer threw a club at the PGA Championship, and Larsa Pippen says she dated Detroit Pistons player Malik Beasley because she “had Covid brain!” Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The gals are back from Maine and they have a few new bits of information about the Miss Maine Pageant before getting right into the daily grind of sports gossip. Which, unfortunately for Boston-fan Charlotte, means talking about the injury to Celtics star Jayson Tatum and the fact that the Knicks are now up 3-1 in the second round of the NBA playoffs. But, for new Knicks fan Madeline, these playoffs are the start of something beautiful. A lot happened at the game. Sitting courtside we had Timothée Chalamet, his girlfriend Kylie Jenner, Kylie’s sister Kendall Jenner, Bad Bunny (Kendall’s ex), and Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns’ girlfriend/Kylie’s ex-best friend, Jordyn Woods. Not only that, but the rapper Cardi B and Patriots player Stefon Diggs appeared to hard-launch their relationship? Lots of drama coming out of Madison Square Garden. Speaking of the Knicks, there’s a new pope (listen to the show, you’ll get it). And the basketball gods have been busy, because the NBA Draft Lottery happened last night, and the Dallas Mavericks shocked the world by receiving the No. 1 pick in this year’s draft after trading away superstar Luka Doncic. Also, Michael Jordan is going to be an announcer for the NBA on NBC??? What a recession indicator!Then, a few updates on Jordon Hudson and Bill Belichick, even though the gals are having an existential crisis about how to cover this story now. Is Aaron Rodgers engaged?? Mallory Pugh and Dansby Swanson announced they’re having a baby and there were no compressed flowers! Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were spotted in Philly with Jason and Kylie Kelce for Mother’s Day. Finally, Caitlin Clark’s nice quote about Taylor Swift. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
When it comes to covering the saga of current UNC head coach and former Patriots head coach Bill Belichick and his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, Madeline and Charlotte will stop at nothing to provide you with the best possible information. Which, this weekend, meant driving to Portland, Maine, to attend the Miss Maine Pageant that Jordon was competing in. The gals simply felt that they wouldn’t be able to talk about the Miss Maine Pageant fairly without seeing it for themselves. And see it they did. They attended both days of the pageant and watched Bill cheer on Jordon, got very invested in the contestants, and gained a lot of insight into how Jordon presents herself. They came away with the feeling that Jordon still wants to be the center of the story, and with a huge amount of respect for anyone who competes. So here, without further ado, is their full recap and analysis of Miss Maine 2025. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Madeline and Charlotte start this episode off with a recap of their CNN appearance over the weekend (and say happy birthday to Charlotte’s mom!). Then, a quick update on Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson: they’ve gone quiet. And the gals miss Jordon’s posts! Will she still compete in Miss Maine this weekend? Time will tell. Then, it’s on to the Met Gala! The event’s theme was "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," and tons of athletes showed out for the event: the NY Liberty’s Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu, and Jonquel Jones, Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, GOAT gymnast Simone Biles, Chicago Sky player Angel Reese, tennis great Serena Williams, Savannah James (LeBron didn’t make it due to injury), and many more. And the gals think that Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and his new wife Bry Burrows might have made their first official red carpet appearance at the Met gala. Then it’s time for an NBA Playoff update, a check-in on Charlotte’s Knicks-Celtics marriage, and Charlotte’s admission that she’s a soft fan. The second round saw two upsets last night — the New York Knicks beat the Boston Celtics at home, and the Denver Nuggets beat the Oklahoma City Thunder at home. Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards has been on a tear recently, so the gals give an update on his recent antics, and a quick update on Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo’s fight with Pacers star Tyrese Halliburton’s dad. A much-requested F1 update: Madeline fills everyone in on driver Max Verstappen and his girlfriend Kelly Piquet, who just welcomed a daughter. Piquet already has a child with F1 driver Daniil Kvyat. Then, the gals analyze a video of Notre Dame basketball star Hannah Hidalgo and former teammate, current TCU star Olivia Miles. They appear to be having a tense exchange at a WNBA preseason game, and there is a lot of body language to decipher! The gals end the show with A Relationship Update: which Olivia is Joe Burrow dating? Larsa Pippen has a new younger basketball-playing boyfriend, and Aaron Rodgers could be….married? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Madeline and Charlotte are back with another emergency episode about Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson. This week, the most famous relationship in college football somehow became the biggest story in the sports world — and has leaked out into the world beyond it. More reporting has been coming out all week at a rapid clip, and Madeline and Charlotte have tracked it so that they can break down and analyze all the new developments for SGS listeners. The story picks back up where SGS left off on Monday. Information came out from the set of the CBS interview that Jordon was very difficult to work with, which is why they included evidence of her interrupting. In the aftermath of that story, Jordon posted an email from Bill in April that seemingly referenced the interview and said that a statement was coming soon. Bill’s literary agency then put out a statement that reads a lot like something Jordon would have written. The Athletic published an article about how Jordon was the reason UNC’s Hard Knocks season — a docu-series set to follow Bill and the football team in the offseason — got canned. Information also came out that Bill’s friends are concerned, and Jordon was seen wearing a ring on her ring finger at a gala in New York City. Then, the big statements: Bill put out a statement about the CBS interview through UNC, saying that CBS violated terms of the interview agreement by asking about his personal life and that Jordon was just doing her job (if you know you know). CBS then countered with a statement saying there were no interview parameters agreed to, and everything was fair game. Finally, news broke that Jordon has recently purchased close to nine million dollars worth of real estate in the Boston area since 2023. Phew! The gals are exhausted! Thanks to all the new listeners out there — Madeline and Charlotte would love you to stick around for non-Belichick news as well. Lot of fun to be had in the Sports Gossip Show Cinematic Universe. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The gals are back with their regularly scheduled programming after the emergency episode on Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson yesterday. Madeline and Charlotte start off with some updates from the NFL Draft, including the fact that the Giants took a quarterback with a very gen Z haircut. Charlotte uses this as an excuse to talk about the time in 2022 that a rumor started about former Jets quarterback Zach Wilson — that he was sleeping with his mom’s best friend. Then, it’s obviously time to dig into the biggest story from the NFL Draft: The fall of Shedeur Sanders. Is the Sanders family the Kardashians of college football? Given that the Draft is the gossipiest thing about the NFL, there’s a lot to unpack here as to why Shedeur was taken so much later than analysts expected him to. But, as loyal listeners will know, it comes down to the fact that your employer is not your friend. Then, an update on Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, who the gals haven’t talked about in a minute. Because Travis unfollowed Taylor’s (former?) best friend, the actress Blake Lively, and her husband, actor Ryan Reynolds. Blake is embroiled in a messy lawsuit, and Taylor might be dragged into it, and Travis is out here making social media moves. Also in the Taylor Swift universe, her friend Gigi Hadid turned 30 over the weekend, and Gigi’s boyfriend, actor Bradley Cooper, wore an Eagles varsity jacket to her party. The gals also talk about how Ben Stiller flew to Detroit to go to the Knicks game, as did Timothée Chalamet and super-fan Spike Lee, and how everyone’s fighting everyone in the first round of the NBA playoffs. Finally, former NFL player Mel Owens will be the next Golden Bachelor, and the gals may have to bring back recaps. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Over the weekend, CBS News Sunday Morning ran an interview with former Patriots coach, current UNC coach Bill Belichick that featured his young girlfriend, Jordon Hudson. It was ostensibly to promote his new book, but it was so bizarre, so concerning, and so confusing that fans of The Sports Gossip Show begged Madeline and Charlotte to cover this strange development in the saga that is Bill and Jordon’s relationship. You asked, SGS delivered. The gals are here with an emergency episode about everyone’s favorite age-gap relationship on which they have, for better or for worse, become experts. Before Jordon enters the frame in CBS’ interview, viewers learn a fair amount about how Bill conducts himself with the media these days. Spoiler alert: Very similarly to how he always has. CBS’ Tony Dokoupil asks Bill about his upbringing and success with the Patriots. He presses Bill on why Patriots owner Robert Kraft doesn’t appear in his new book. Then, Dokoupil reveals that Jordon has been “a constant presence” during filming of the interview, and viewers see her interrupt the process to say “we’re not talking about this” when Dokoupil asks how the two met. Viewers also learn that Bill does not operate his own social media channels. Madeline and Charlotte dive deep into why this interview seems more concerning than any content Bill and Jordon have put out so far. They also discuss the potential psychology behind what’s going on here, how the people who were in Bill’s life before Jordon must feel about this, and wonder where things go from here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The gals are playing hurt today, but the show must go on, and it’s as good as ever. Things kick off with a few news items about the Boston Marathon, Paige Buecker’s Day in Minnesota, and how Duke star Cooper Flagg declared for the draft. Then, some relationship updates: the Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark went to the NBA playoffs with her boyfriend, the Fever’s Lexie Hull is engaged to Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Will Matthiessen, and UMiami basketball star Haley Cavinder and Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson got engaged. Madeline notices footwear and rates how compressed the flowers are, and Charlotte notices the captions, and they both go on a tangent about Vera Bradley and American Girl Dolls. Plus: Eagles’ quarterback Jalen Hurts got engaged and was very chic about it. And Dodgers’ star Shohei Ohtani and his wife, Mamiko Tanaka, had a baby. Then, a hard pivot: Anthony Edwards got fined $50,000 for taunting the fans at the Minnesota Timberwolves-Lakers playoff game over the weekend (Timberwolves won). And the gals go right into some gossip about the NBA Playoffs! Clippers’ star Kawhi Leonard had amazing comeback game, Ben Stiller made a Severance hype video for the Knicks, and Knicks star OG Anunoby plays well when Anne Hathaway or Suni Lee are at the game…but Suni went on Monday and they lost. Plus, Celtics’ coach Joe Mazzulla is intense, and Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green sent a message to the public before going dark on social media for the 2025 NBA Playoffs.And, finally, a deep dive into the disastrous season that the Dallas Mavericks just completed. After making the shocking decision to trade former-Mavs star Luka Doncic to the Lakers in the middle of the night, general manager Nico Harrison is back on his heels in weird press conferences. An explosive report from ESPN’s Tim MacMahon sheds some light on what seems to be a very, very dysfunctional environment down in Texas, and the gals once again remind you that your employer is not your friend! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Madeline and Charlotte could not be more thrilled to have ESPN's Elle Duncan on the show! Elle is the anchor of the 6 p.m. SportsCenter, co-host of her YouTube show and podcast “The Elle Duncan Show,” women’s college basketball host for ESPN’s College GameDay, and host of WNBA Countdown’s studio coverage throughout the WNBA season with Chiney Ogwumike and Andraya Carter. Elle just wrapped up a very busy women’s college basketball season and is heading into the WNBA season, so who better to talk about the draft and look ahead? Elle talks about why this year’s ratings can't be compared to last year’s and why there’s such exponential growth in women’s basketball. She tells Madeline and Charlotte whether anything in this year’s draft shocked her, why she loves Hailey Van Lith’s story, why she’s intrigued to see how Paige Bueckers and Arike Ogunbowale play together in Dallas, why the women’s college game seems more popular than the men’s these days, and why this year’s WNBA draft was “the social media draft.”Elle also tells the gals what it felt like to start working in women’s sports, how welcoming the women’s basketball world has been, and why hockey fans are the most intense. She reveals her favorite sports gossip moment of all time (when Tony Parker cheated on Eva Longoria with his teammate’s wife). And, finally, the show ends with Elle’s signature vibe check, but she's the one who has to answer the questions! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
It’s the week after the Masters, and there’s a lot to unpack. First, Madeline and Charlotte trade off some fun facts about the Masters, and talk about how pro golf is basically Comic-Con. Then it’s time to dive into all the drama surrounding Rory McIlroy and his historic win on Sunday — it involves fellow golfer Bryson DeChambeau, former tennis star Caroline Wozniacki, and his current wife, Erica Stoll. It also involves Tiger Woods’ divorce lawyer. The WNBA draft took place last night, and UConn star Paige Bueckers went No. 1 overall as expected, and managed to make the moment about her teammates because she seems absolutely delightful. ESPN’s Holly Rowe appears to have hard-launched basketball star Hailey Van Lith and NBA star Jalen Sugg’s relationship, the Golden State Valkyrie’s Shayenne Sellers got engaged and drafted in the same week, and everybody in basketball knows everyone else. Plus — the emergence of super athletes. An update on the Denver Nuggets’ firing of head coach Michael Malone and general manager Calvin Booth with only three games left in the regular season. Team president Josh Kroenke acknowledged that the timing was “crazy” and said neither Malone nor Booth “deserved it.” The gals reiterate that your employer is not your friend. And now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for: a conversation about The Athletic’s explosive Jordon Hudson reporting. UNC head coach and notorious 72 year old Bill Belichick’s 24-year-old girlfriend has been active on the school emails, talking about how hiring Bill’s son shouldn’t be advertised as nepotism. Also, she’s trademarked a lot of new companies for Bill lately, and her email signature says she’s the COO of a fake company. AND, she’s competing to be Miss Maine in the hopes of going on to compete in the Miss USA pageant. Finally, US vice president JD Vance dropped Ohio State’s trophy. A real metaphor! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The gals had too much to talk about this week, and LeBron James has been up to a lot, so they put together a quick special episode on the NBA star for your Thursday. First off, a quick update to the prolonged fight between LeBron and ESPN talking head Stephen A Smith (0:44) (for a full primer, listen to this episode of SGS). It turns out that Mattel is making a LeBron James Barbie (3:00)? And the gals….love it? Someone send them a doll ASAP. In other commercial news, Savannah James, LeBron’s wife, is starting a high end skin care brand (5:02), and resident skin-care expert Madeline tells you everything you need to know about it. Finally, the gals talk about actual basketball, and Charlotte issues an apology to the Lakers (10:24). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Madeline is back from vacation (thank the good lord) and the gals are back in action! They start off by examining the recent breaking news that the Denver Nuggets fired head coach Michael Malone and GM Calvin Booth, which proves that companies will even kick star employees to the curb (3:19). March Madness has officially wrapped up, and Paige Bueckers and the UConn Huskies are champions after a ten-year drought (9:43). They’ve also broken the Candace Parker Curse, which you can learn all about here. The Florida men beat Houston to win a championship, but Madeline and Charlotte were not happy with the outcome. Notre Dame star Olivia Miles announced that she’s transferring to TCU (20:38). Speaking of TCU, star player Hailey Van Lith is now on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swim, so the gals decide where they’ll do their inevitable swim photoshoot (21:04). Then it’s time for a few couples updates: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been popping up in ski locales (24:09), soccer star Trinity Rodman hard-launched her tennis star boyfriend Ben Shelton (29:22), and LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne and Pittsburgh Pirate star Paul Skenes were featured in GQ (30:36). In news nobody saw coming, a biotech company backed by Tom Brady and Tiger Woods brought back the formerly-extinct dire wolf (do it to a dinosaur and the gals will be impressed) (36:05). Gisele Bünchen and her Jiu-Jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente will not be attending the Met Gala which makes Madeline think that Tom Brady will be there (39:55). And, finally, an update on everyone’s favorite couple: Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson (41:21). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
This episode of The Sports Gossip Show is going to be a little different. Madeline is on vacation, so Charlotte takes you through a few of the major stories in sports before getting to a pre-recorded mailbag episode (starting at 13:15) with the two of them (because of course the dynamic duo still makes an appearance!). The updates start with March Madness and Charlotte’s UConn/Duke bias, but don’t worry, she’ll explain (1:34). Notre Dame’s Olivia Miles shocked the basketball world by deciding to stay in college instead of going to the WNBA draft, where she was projected to be taken second — but there’s a catch. She’s entering the transfer portal! LeBron James started another media beef, this time with ESPN’s Brian Windhorst on The Pat McAfee Show (6:07). Savannah James is starting a new beauty line, but Madeline needs to be the one to talk about this. The Yankees had an MIT physicist design new bats for them (10:09), and the Timberwolves and Pistons got into a huge fight on the court. Tom Brady has a fake new girlfriend (it was just his friend’s wife going to a party with him, at which the friend was at) (12:17), and Tiger Woods is doing too much for April Fool’s Day (12:17). Then, it’s time for the mailbag (13:15): the gals answer a bunch of questions! Including: Is Jordon Hudson being a good momager for Bill Belichick? Funniest current sports gossip stories to tell non-sports friends (14:46 )? Like the Mahomes, if you had to name children after a theme what names would you pick (20:33)? What sports generate the most gossip (23:35)? Who is the best power couple in sports? What sports needs to be more dramatic? What sports did Madeline and Charlotte play growing up(34:48)? Favorite story each of them have written/covered (40:33)? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The show starts off with a little birthday talk, because Charlotte is a year older today! The gals then dive right into some fun announcements. Tennis star Ben Shelton medium-launch soccer star Trinity Rodman on Instagram, and wide receiver DK Metcalf is engaged to singer Normani (a discussion about wedding florals ensues). Track star Gabby Thomas is also engaged! Plus: Is announcing your engagement in legacy media cool again? Then it’s March Madness time! Juju Watkins, the star player for USC, is out for the season (and possibly longer) with an ACL tear. But, before she got hurt, she and Jayden Daniels, quarterback for the Commanders, were spotted hanging out… with his mom. UConn’s star Paige Bueckers is helping her teammates and balling out while doing so. Amir Khan, the student manager for McNeese State, is the first student manager to get NIL deals. What do the gals need to do to go viral like this? And UConn men’s coach, Dan Hurley, got very angry on camera!Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump, Donald Trump Jr.’s ex-wife, are dating, and Tiger posted a very hard launch on Instagram. The caption is bizarre, and the photos are even weirder, so the gals break it all down (also, never forget that Tiger Woods once dated LeAnn Rimes). Also, apparently the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, got Bill Belichick the UNC job? Sophia Bush, actress and girlfriend of soccer player Ashlyn Harris, was spotted with the initials SBH on her phone case — are they married?? Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra’s ex-wife, Nikki, was rumored to be hooking up with young Heat star Jamie Jaquez Jr…but she quickly debunked that in an Instagram Reel. Quick Aaron Rodgers update: He’s not employed, and Madeline is worried. Plus: UMiami quarterback Carson Beck and UMiami basketball star Hanna Cavinder broke up. And the Mavs are still struggling. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Most of you probably know this by now, but Bill Belichick — former Patriots head coach and current UNC head coach — has a much-younger girlfriend named Jordon Hudson. Now, Madeline and Charlotte have been talking about this story for as long as this show has existed. But recent events have catapulted Bill and Jordon into the news even more, so they’ve put together a timeline of the relationship, complete with analysis. Listeners asked, so you shall receive. It starts off with last week’s news — that Bill asked UNC communications staff to CC Jordon on all of his emails. Bill and Jordon also posed in very acrobatic ways on the beach. Thank you to everyone who reached out to the gals in light of these developments. The show starts at the beginning: When Bill and Jordon met on a plane in 2021. The story takes some crazy turns from there, and involves philosophy, meeting on a plane, cheerleading conventions, The Roast of Tom Brady, social media, corn mazes, mermaid and fisherman Halloween costumes, Ring camera footage, a feud with Boston radio, the University of North Carolina, the president of Croatia (???), the Super Bowl, Maine fishermen, trad wives, and, finally, AcroYoga on the beach. The gals also talk about what this relationship — and the fascination with it — says about gender roles in America right now, and how maybe Jordon and Bill are soul mates after all. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Madeline and Charlotte are very excited to welcome Kelsey McKinney to the show! Kelsey is the foremost expert on gossip, having written The New York Times and USA Today bestseller You Didn’t Hear This From Me: (Mostly) True Notes on Gossip, a co-owner and features writer at Defector, and one of the co-creators of the hit podcast Normal Gossip.Kelsey is also a die-hard Philadelphia sports fan and sports gossip enthusiast. She joins the show to talk about her great new book, and the importance of sports gossip. She helps the gals answer some very important questions, such as: Why does it matter how we talk about sports? Are sports statistics actually just vibes? Is gossip actually the best way to bet on sports? Should you adopt the team of the city you live in if you didn’t grow up there? Are the Phillies cursed because they’re playing the wrong version of a Robyn song? Why do recreational and youth sports breed so much gossip? How is gossip about in-groups and out-groups? Is gossiping about one person actually the best way to make a sports team successful? Are there rules to gossip? The episode ends with Kelsey telling the gals the most amazing pieces of gossip related to a Super Bowl they’ve ever heard. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
