The Sports Gossip Show

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.
