    Aaron Rodgers bites back, are Dak Prescott and Luka Doncic both going through break-ups?, Travis Kelce isn’t retiring, and another marathon debacle

    Madeline and Charlotte are back with another episode! This one starts out with Arike Ogunbowale allegedly punching a security guard in the face outside the nightclub  E11EVEN in Miami. Then it goes into relationship drama: Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and his fiancée, Sarah Jane Ramos, broke up just five weeks before they were supposed to get married in Italy. No, Joe Burrow and Jessica Alba are not dating. Luka Doncic and his fiancée Anamaria Goltes, whom he has known since middle school and with whom he has two daughters, may have broken up — Goltes seems to have deleted all photos of Luka from her Instagram. A source confirmed to Us Weekly that singer Tate McRae and hockey star Jack Hughes are indeed dating.  In a bit of déjà vu from last week’s half marathon drama, LA Marathon leader Michael Kimani Kamau followed the lead pacer off-course with ~400m to go. Tom Brady’s Fanatics flag football game moved to the US from Saudi Arabia, and Travis Kelce is returning for 14th season with the Chiefs for $12 million. The Dolphins released Tua Tagovailoa and the Falcons picked him up…which leads to many questions about the Falcons and Tua’s concussion history.  And, finally, Aaron Rodgers went on McAfee and gave a whole big speech that may have been partially directed at…us?

Tennis star Aryna Sabalenka is engaged to Brazilian businessman Georgios Frangulis, but are the flowers compressed? US gold-medalist Alysa Liu and Rob Rausch from Traitors hung out at the Tonight Show.

    The US hockey drama is driving us crazy, Cameron Brink’s fiancé went full send in an email, the electric Unrivaled semifinals, and Charles LeClerc’s wedding flowers

    Madeline and Charlotte are back with another jam-packed episode! They discuss that wild Traitors finale, then get right into the sports drama with the Unrivaled semifinals. The stars were out, Kelsey Plum and Arike Ogunbowale hit game-winning threes (also it was Arike’s birthday), Azzi Fudd was there (for Paige Bueckers?), and the championship is set between the Mist and the Phantom. Plus: The email that Cameron Brink’s fiancé sent her to shoot his shot, and a WNBA CBA update.   F1 driver Charles LeClerc married Alexandra Saint Mieux — were the wedding flowers compressed? Michael Jordan’s NASCAR won the first three races of the NASCAR season for the first time ever. There was drama at the U.S. Half Marathon Championships when a pace car led the fastest women in the wrong direction. And, finally, the US women’s and men’s hockey teams are still trying to clean up the damage done at the Olympics.

    Katia Reguero Lindor on politics in sports, being married to Francisco, WAG relationships, and rumors about the Mets clubhouse

    Madeline and Charlotte are thrilled to be joined by Katia Reguero Lindor, the host of “The Unaparent” podcast, and wife of MLB player Francisco, star of the Mets. Katia tells the gals why she feels the responsibility to speak about her left-leaning politics in a traditionally conservative sport, the reality of being married to an athlete, and her upbringing in Puerto Rico. She also talks about parenting, her podcast, “The Unapparent,” and whether the wives and girlfriends of players all actually get along. Plus: The wild rumors she’s heard about herself.

    The US Men’s hockey team laughed at Trump’s joke about women and we really couldn’t be more pissed off + Tara Lipinsky and Johnny Weir on Traitors, Canadian cheaters

    Well, Madeline and Charlotte are back and they couldn’t be madder at the US men’s hockey team!  Before they get to that, they talk about the wild and wonderful figure skating gala, Canadian cheaters winning curling, skier Breezy Johnson’s text to teammate Mikaela Shifrin, Lindsey Vonn’s update about almost losing her leg, and Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinsky on Traitors (spoilers, so skip that part if you aren’t caught up!).  Then, the gals get into the mess that everyone’s talking about: The US men’s hockey team partied with FBI director Kash Patel and laughed at a bad “joke” that Donald Trump made about the US women’s team. Madeline and Charlotte talk about internalized sexism, how women are supposed to just “take jokes,” how Kash Patel and Trump are huge losers, how the Hughes brothers are going to the State of the Union, and what horrible PR strategy this whole thing has entailed.  Plus: Did Kash Patel and JD Vance just watch Eastbound & Down and decide to act like Kenny Powers?  Hosted on Acast.

    A shocking and golden day for Alysa Liu and US Women’s Hockey at the Olympics, plus an exclusive interview about taxidermy with Hannah Stolz, sister of speedskater Jordan

    Madeline and Charlotte are back after a wildly exciting day of Olympics — Alysa Liu won gold in figure skating with an absolutely stunning performance, and the US Women’s Hockey Team took home gold in a stunner against longtime rival Canada. The gals talk about how Alysa’s vibes were immaculate and how US captain Hilary Knight got engaged to speedskater Brittany Bowe and won gold in the same week! Also: Tom Brady was at the gold medal game, Amber Glenn skated a redemption performance, and US skier Mac Forehand seems to be dating Canadian skier Maia Schwinghammer. Lindsey Vonn posted a video showing how she got home from Italy with a complex tibial fracture, and ski GOAT Mikaela Shifrin won the women’s slalom by 1.5 seconds, the largest margin in any skiing event in decades.

    The Canadian cheating scandal rocking the curling world, Taylor Swift shouts out Breezy Johnson and the Blade Angels, Ilia Malinin’s cryptic post, and Kevin Durant’s burner account?

    Madeline and Charlotte are back with the gift that keeps on giving — gossip from the Olympics! But first, Tom Brady is online again. Also, NBA All-Star was over the weekend, and Devin Booker was asked about the Bad Bunny half-time show…which was juicy, because they have both dated model/influencer Kendall Jenner. Also, longtime NBA star Chris Paul retiring after 21 seasons. Now, Olympics! The gals have a few couples updates for the Shareholders: skier Breezy Johnson got engaged and Taylor Swift commented (Taylor also narrated the promo for the Blade Angels, aka the US women’s figure skaters). Plus, a few other skeleton and hockey relationships for you all to know about.  Speed-skater Jordan Stolz’s family is fascinating: He and his sister Hannah learned to skate after watching the 2010 Olympics, and she is now a championship taxidermist. Bobsledder Elana Meyers Taylor captured her first gold in her fifth Olympics and NBC ran a very sweet segment about her sons. The women’s figure skating starts today, and Ilia Malinin posted a cryptic Instagram after his heartbreak in the men’s free skate.  The US women’s hockey team plays Canada on Thursday in a thrilling rematch of 2022, and there is a big cheating scandal rocking the curling world!

    Don’t take back your groveling biathlete ex after he wins a bronze medal, Jordon Hudson’s shot at Robert Kraft, US women’s hockey + caesar salads, and new Tom Brady/Alix Earle video

    Madeline and Charlotte are back with another jam-packed episode of messy sports gossip and Olympic drama. But first, a few updates on the big NBA fight and a shoutout to the Commanders for their gesture to the decimated Washington Post. Jordon Hudson wore a totally wild tee-shirt that took a shot at Patriots owner Robert Kraft, and a new video of Tom Brady and Alix Earle from Super Bowl week just dropped. Now, Olympics! Speedskater Jordan Stolz broke an Olympic record in the 1,000-meter and won gold for the US. Something is up with biathlon: before the Olympics, French biathlete Julia Simon was found guilty of theft and credit card fraud after admitting to using her teammate’s credit card. Norwegian biathlete Sturla Laegreid admitted he cheated on his ex and tried to get her back on live television. There are several reasons why this story gets worse. Plus: A history of the biathlon! Brown’s star Myles Garrett was spotted in Italy cheering on his girlfriend, Chloe Kim. Team USA hockey beat Canada, and Laila Edwards made history as the first Black woman to represent the U.S. women’s hockey team at the Olympics. Goalie Aaerin Frankel has an entire Instagram dedicated to reviewing caesar salads, and Haley Winn’s brothers are showing up to support in matching outfits. Ilia Malinin, the Quad God, put on a great performance in the men’s short program, and Cory Thiesse became first American woman to win a curling medal.  Hosted on Acast.
