Summary
The gals are back from Maine and they have a few new bits of information about the Miss Maine Pageant before getting right into the daily grind of sports gossip. Which, unfortunately for Boston-fan Charlotte, means talking about the injury to Celtics star Jayson Tatum and the fact that the Knicks are now up 3-1 in the second round of the NBA playoffs. But, for new Knicks fan Madeline, these playoffs are the start of something beautiful.
A lot happened at the game. Sitting courtside we had Timothée Chalamet, his girlfriend Kylie Jenner, Kylie’s sister Kendall Jenner, Bad Bunny (Kendall’s ex), and Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns’ girlfriend/Kylie’s ex-best friend, Jordyn Woods. Not only that, but the rapper Cardi B and Patriots player Stefon Diggs appeared to hard-launch their relationship? Lots of drama coming out of Madison Square Garden.
Speaking of the Knicks, there’s a new pope (listen to the show, you’ll get it). And the basketball gods have been busy, because the NBA Draft Lottery happened last night, and the Dallas Mavericks shocked the world by receiving the No. 1 pick in this year’s draft after trading away superstar Luka Doncic. Also, Michael Jordan is going to be an announcer for the NBA on NBC??? What a recession indicator!
Then, a few updates on Jordon Hudson and Bill Belichick, even though the gals are having an existential crisis about how to cover this story now. Is Aaron Rodgers engaged?? Mallory Pugh and Dansby Swanson announced they’re having a baby and there were no compressed flowers! Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were spotted in Philly with Jason and Kylie Kelce for Mother’s Day. Finally, Caitlin Clark’s nice quote about Taylor Swift.
