Summary
It’s election day in America, and Madeline and Charlotte are very glad they can bury their heads in sports gossip — hopefully this is an escape for you, too, in the days to come.
So let’s get into it: Taylor Swift was at the Chiefs game and wore shorts again, which the gals have thoughts about. Kelly Stafford, wife of LA Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, said that the NFL showed Taylor Swift too much at the games that it outshone the players. But then she dressed as Taylor Swift for Halloween? Madeline and Charlotte have questions. Also, Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen threw a Halloween party, which seems like a lot of work.
Then, a few crucial updates: more evidence that Bill Belichick’s 23-year-old girlfriend is running his Instagram, plus what his ex-girlfriend dressed up as for Halloween (hint: it was the same thing as Karlie Kloss). Madeline provides a key follow-up to Tom Brady finding out his ex-wife Gisele was pregnant (it has to do with his vlogs).
The rapper Drake and former Raptor DeMar DeRozan got into a fight. Sort of. It was really one-sided, but the gals dive into it anyway. How does LeBron factor into this? Listen and learn. Then, Jordyn Woods’ has a new song and her boyfriend, Knicks star, Karl-Anthony Towns, appears in the music video. Speaking of the Kardashians, Tristan Thompson is still on the Cavs. Madeline and Charlotte end by talking about how Jaylen Brown wants to meet Bill Nye (who doesn’t?).

| 0:00.0 | Hi, Charlotte. Oh, hey, Madeline. We're back. We are back. It's Election Day. Yeah. Honestly, really glad we're doing this because otherwise we would just be doom scrolling. |
| 0:21.8 | We'd be doom scrolling. This is at least 50 minutes to an hour or so of time where I'm not |
| 0:27.1 | continuously checking poll numbers. Yeah. And we had to think about it before we did this. |
| 0:32.7 | And we'll have to edit it and write the description afterwards. So that's like a whole other |
| 0:36.7 | chunk of time that we're using up. Yeah. It's like a whole other chunk of time that we're |
| 0:38.0 | using up. Yeah. It's kind of like girl math of time. You're like, well, okay, that adds another hour. And then if I'm like also waiting for the video to upload to YouTube, that's like another 22 minutes. Right. So it just like adds on a little bit more time where you're not doom scrolling. And then after that, I think I'm going to watch the Great British Bake Off. |
| 0:54.9 | Yes. |
| 0:55.5 | But the bottom line here is that if you are listening to... not doom scrolling. And then after that, I think I'm going to watch a great British bakeoff. |
| 0:55.0 | Yes. |
| 0:55.2 | But the bottom line here is that if you are listening to this, it is either Tuesday, |
| 1:00.8 | afternoon, evening, and you are also trying to escape the world for a little bit, |
| 1:05.4 | or it is a day later or a few days later. |
| 1:08.2 | And you know what happened and you're either really happy or you're really sad, but either way, you can listen to this and pretend you're in a more innocent time when you still didn't know. Yes, I think that is the best way to put it. And thank God we don't record on Wednesdays. No, no. I couldn't. It all worked out. I'm going to be in bed. I don't know what I'm going to be doing. |
| 1:28.2 | You voted today? |
| 1:28.9 | I voted today. Yes, if you're in the United States and have not voted. And you're hearing this. Do it. Get line and vote. I check your polling location. Voted by mail and it is now too late. So you got to go. You got to go. if you have a mail-in ballot, go drop it off. |
| 1:42.5 | You can't put it in the mail. |
| 1:43.4 | Yeah. |
| 1:43.6 | It's too late. |
| 1:44.2 | Yeah. |
| 1:44.9 | Anyways. |
| 1:45.6 | Okay, let's talk about sports gossip. |
