  • Fights and unhinged press conferences at Real Madrid, what does LeBron do next?, immaculate Knicks vibes, and Luka Doncic’s icky press release
    May 14 2026

    Madeline and Charlotte are back with a real wild ride of an episode that starts with Tom Brady’s Mother’s Day posts. Then, NBA Playoff gossip: LeBron and the Lakers are out, so what will he do next? Stay in LA? Play for the Cleveland Cavaliers again? Retire? The Knicks’ vibes are insanely good and Philly got absolutely destroyed by a Josh Hart zinger. Plus: Daryl Morey is out as the 76ers president of basketball operations.


    Luka Doncic put out an icky press release about his custody battle, Portland Fire upset NY Liberty at the buzzer, and F1 is taking employee feedback. And, finally: Real Madrid is an absolute disaster: Federico Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni are fighting each other, Kylian Mbappé is laughing, and club president Florentino Perez held the most unhinged press conference the gals have ever seen. Which is saying something.

  • Do Caitlin Clark and Morgan Wallen actually need each other? A deep dive into how the country singer has used the most famous and controversial athletes to sportswash his image
    May 12 2026

    Madeline and Charlotte are back with another deep dive, this time into Caitlin Clark and Morgan Wallen. The WNBA star recently walked out with the country singer at his concert in Indianapolis, and some fans are angry that she would associate herself with the controversial musician.


    The gals go down a rabbit hole of Caitlin’s history of saying or not saying things when it comes to denouncing racism that some of her fans hurl at other WNBA players. They talk about Caitlin’s attempts at being apolitical and why those fail. Then they dive into Morgan Wallen’s history of being an athlete, the number of controversies he’s gotten himself into, and all the athletes he’s brought out at his concerts, including scandal-plagued guys like Mike Tyson, Brett Favre, Hulk Hogan, and more.


    This episode even includes a deep dive into the tax records of Morgan’s charity and his attempts to sportswash his image through philanthropy. The gals then answer the question: What if Caitlin Clark and Morgan Wallen actually need each other?

Plus: A’ja and Bam Adebayo went to the GQ Met Gala after party together in coordinating custom outfits, Angel and Magic’s Wendell Carter Jr., Kiki Rice and OKC’s Cason Wallace, and why it’s a great idea that Kelsey Plum and Napheesa Collier ended up with high-level athletic trainers.
