    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.

    We were wrong about the Patriots and Seahawks but right about Bad Bunny, Hornets-Pistons fight night, Lindsey Vonn crashes out, and Olympic ice dancing drama continues

    Madeline and Charlotte are back with a jam-packed episode! First, the Hornets and the Pistons got into the biggest fight since Malice at the Palace in 2004 — four players were ejected and will probably get suspensions. And then the Hawks-Timberwolves got into a fight right after that! Then, what you’ve all been waiting for: a recap of the gals’ Super Bowl trip and experience at the Thom Browne show for the GQ Bowl. They admit that they had vibes-based blindness towards the Patriots and Charlotte is going through the seven stages of grief after New England lost. Things discussed include Stefon Diggs and rapper Cardi B’s alleged break-up, Tom Brady and Alix Earle potentially canoodling again, Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton dating, offensive lineman Will Campbell’s injury, Sam Darnold’s Super Bowl win after mono eight years ago, and Mike Macdonald.  And Bad Bunny’s amazing halftime show made up for everything!  Now, Olympics! Ice dancing drama continues: Madison Chock and Evan Bates didn’t score as high as people wanted, and the French team is still in first. Skier Lindsey Vonn had another awful crash and released a statement. The USA pulled off a curling upset, won gold in the team ice skating event, and US women’s hockey faces Canada today. Team USA’s Breezy Johnson also won gold after Vonn crashed out. Also, several speed skating crashes occurred and there is drama going on about the ice itself.  Hosted on Acast.

    NFL owners in the Epstein files, Tom Brady is crashing out online again, Kylie Kelce brought Paige Bueckers a present, and Kim Kardashian with Lewis Hamilton?

    Madeline and Charlotte are back with an episode full of sports gossip and then some not-so-fun Epstein Files-related information at the end.  First, Madison Beer and Chargers QB Justin Herbert were spotted at pre-GRAMMYs party. Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza officially has a LinkedIn sponsorship! Tom Brady had a weird time on his couch with his Instagram stories, and Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton were spotted in Paris together.  Unrivaled set a record for women’s basketball attendance with its huge Philly crowd, and Kylie Kelce gave star Paige Bueckers all the fixins’ for a Shirley Temple after the two talked about the drink on Kelce’s show. On a broadcast, Reggie Miller compared Caitlin Clark to Payton Pritchard — and she was understandably not happy about it. In final basketball news: a Giannis trade!? It’s looking good for Jordan Chiles receiving her 2024 bronze medal. Singer Benson Boone is playing in the flag football game at the Super Bowl. Robert Kraft will not be in The Hall of Fame this year, his first year of eligibility.  And, finally, a dive into the NFL owners who were mentioned by Jeffrey Epstein — Giants owner Steve Tisch, Patriots owner Robert Kraft, and Jets owner Woody Johnson all come up a fair amount.  Hosted on Acast.

    More athletes need to speak out against ICE, Madeline’s step-cousin is the Bills head coach, LeBron James responds to Lakers drama, and the Olympian who ran a drug cartel was arrested

    Madeline and Charlotte are back, and before they get into any sports drama, they want to make it clear that they stand with the people of Minnesota and Maine and are very anti-ICE! The list of athletes who’ve spoken out is not quite as long as it should be.  In lighter news, Charlotte’s Patriots will be in the Super Bowl against the Seahawks! The gals will discuss more on a Thursday episode about WAGs and off-the-field SB storylines.  Olympic track and field star Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone is expecting her first baby, and the “Heated Rivalry” stars were Olympic torchbearers. Madeline finds out in real time that her step-cousin Joe Brady is the new Bills head coach! The gals then dive into the drama with Bills owner Terry Pegula, who threw the former head coach, Sean McDermott, under the bus.  Clemson head coach, Dabo Swinney, accused Ole Miss head coach, Pete Golding, of tampering with Clemson player Luke Ferrelli by having the Giants’ quarterback text him, and Duke reached a settlement with quarterback Darian Mensah.  Australian Open drama! Naomi Osaka withdrew due to injury and Coco Gauff smashed her racket away from cameras, and Carlos Alcaraz and Jannick Sinner are best friends. Lakers star LeBron James responded to ESPN’s article about the Buss family drama and his relationship with former owner Jeannie Buss. Trinity Rodman re-signed with the Washington Spirit on a three-year contract paying more than $2 million per year. And, finally, Canadian Olympic snowboarder Ryan Wedding was arrested and pled not guilty to murder and drug trafficking on Monday. The full story is wild.  Hosted on Acast.
