Summary
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.
