The Sports Gossip Show

Madeline and Charlotte are back with a TedTalk — sorry, episode — about the why the Knicks are modeling great leadership and how the team is winning despite a ton of distractions. The gals talk about what it was like to be in the building for the insane Game 4 comeback, the celebrities they saw, and the passion of fans who couldn’t be in the building.

Then they go on a deep dive into how the Knicks are exhibiting the psychological traits needed to win it all. From Karl-Anthony Towns and Jose Alvarado’s press conference, to Jalen Brunson’s ability to believe, to OG Anunoby’s incredible game-winner, to coach Mike Brown’s embracing of adversity, New York is behaving like a true team with great leadership.

They can visualize success, and they should be a lesson for everyone who is in charge of (or wants to make a meaningful difference within) an organization.

Madeline and Charlotte are live from the floor of Madison Square Garden at 12:30 in the morning after the Knicks completed the most insane comeback in NBA Finals history. The Spurs led by as many as 29 points, but New York managed to win, 107-106. It was an absolutely insane night made possible by the power of male friendship, healthy co-working habits, unwavering belief, and Taylor Swift.

The gals will be back with a full-length episode on Friday morning, but for now, enjoy this dispatch from the room where it happened.

Madeline and Charlotte are back with a normal episode from Brooklyn after a whirlwind trip to San Antonio and Madison Square Garden for Games 1 and 3 of the NBA Finals. They talk about what it was like staying at the same hotel as all of ESPN’s major broadcasters in Texas, the state of vibes in San Antonio, and how crazy New York City was after the Game 2 win on Saturday.

Then, the gals take listeners behind the scenes of Game 3, which was the first Finals game at Madison Square Garden since 1999. The whole operation was messed up thanks to Donald Trump. He decided he was going to show up, after being invited by Knicks owner James Dolan, and make everyone’s lives miserable by causing a massive disruption to Manhattan and at the Garden.

The vibes were definitely skewed by his presence, but the Knicks did their best to fight them off. The Spurs ultimately won — is this a harbinger of things to come? The gals take Shareholders to the Garden for a play-by-play of the most memorable night in New York in decades.

Madeline and Charlotte are back with Part II of their NBA Finals extravaganza! The Sports Gossip Show was honored to be one of nine podcasts that the NBA invited to their first-ever Podcast Row. This episode is the second of two shows made up of interviews the gals conducted against the backdrop of the Spurs’ arena before Game 1.

First up is DeAndre Jordan, current NBA player, NBA All Star, and Finals champion. He talked about what it takes to be a good teammate, the wildest prank that was ever pulled on him in a locker room, and what it feels like to be traded and then have to play a game immediately with your new team. Then, a conversation with Head of Referee Training & Development, Monty McCutchen, who tells the gals how refs are chosen for the Finals, and much more. Finally, the gals talk to Will Reeve, who is covering the Finals for Good Morning America, about the spirit in New York City when the Knicks are this good.

A huge thank you to the NBA for making this possible!

Madeline and Charlotte are back with one of the most exciting episodes yet before the NBA Finals kick off! The Sports Gossip Show was honored to be one of nine podcasts that the NBA invited to their first-ever Podcast Row. This episode is the first of two shows made up of observations from the Finals — and then interviews the gals conducted against the backdrop of the Spurs’ arena before Game 1.

The first guest is ABC/ESPN broadcaster Malika Andrews, who talks about sitting down with Karl-Anthony Towns, Jalen Brunson, and Victor Wembenyama, what it takes to work on the national stage, and how she decides who she thinks will win it all. Then, the gals talk to two dear friends of the show from The Athletic, Fred Katz and Jared Weiss. Fred spills some tea from his forthcoming book about the resurgence of the Knicks, and Jared talks about getting to know Wembenyama and the Spurs in his year covering the team. Fred also tells an unhinged story about Josh Hart and the candy Mike & Ikes.

Then, last but certainly not least, the gals sit down with NBA legend Gary Payton. He talks about why he won’t retire his number for anyone but the Seattle Supersonics, what it’s like having his son play in the league, and then he completes an absolutely ridiculous task that Madeline and Charlotte throw his way.

You don’t want to miss this one. The gals want to send a huge thanks to the NBA for this opportunity — and stayed tuned for Part II!
