Summary

This episode of The Sports Gossip Show is going to be a little different. Madeline is on vacation, so Charlotte takes you through a few of the major stories in sports before getting to a pre-recorded mailbag episode (starting at 13:15) with the two of them (because of course the dynamic duo still makes an appearance!). 

The updates start with March Madness and Charlotte’s UConn/Duke bias, but don’t worry, she’ll explain (1:34). Notre Dame’s Olivia Miles shocked the basketball world by deciding to stay in college instead of going to the WNBA draft, where she was projected to be taken second — but there’s a catch. She’s entering the transfer portal! LeBron James started another media beef, this time with ESPN’s Brian Windhorst on The Pat McAfee Show (6:07). Savannah James is starting a new beauty line, but Madeline needs to be the one to talk about this. The Yankees had an MIT physicist design new bats for them (10:09), and the Timberwolves and Pistons got into a huge fight on the court. Tom Brady has a fake new girlfriend (it was just his friend’s wife going to a party with him, at which the friend was at) (12:17), and Tiger Woods is doing too much for April Fool’s Day (12:17).

Then, it’s time for the mailbag (13:15): the gals answer a bunch of questions! Including: Is Jordon Hudson being a good momager for Bill Belichick? Funniest current sports gossip stories to tell non-sports friends (14:46 )? Like the Mahomes, if you had to name children after a theme what names would you pick (20:33)? What sports generate the most gossip (23:35)? Who is the best power couple in sports? What sports needs to be more dramatic? What sports did Madeline and Charlotte play growing up(34:48)? Favorite story each of them have written/covered (40:33)?

Okay, testing, testing, one, two, three.

Very strange to be talking to myself, but let's see how this sounds.

0:11.0

Hey there, everybody.

0:25.0

This is Charlotte, and I'm just going to get right ahead of this before I start talking.

0:31.9

This is not going to be as much fun as our episodes normally are because Madeline is not here.

0:37.1

And I couldn't do this without her, which is why we have pre-recorded a mailbag episode

0:42.9

for you that will come after this.

0:46.3

But there's just been a lot going on.

0:48.5

And we didn't want to put out an episode that didn't have some of the wild current stuff

0:53.4

happening.

0:56.9

And when Madeline is back next week,

1:02.3

I'm sure we will dive back into some of this, but we had to keep the good sports gossipers of the world informed. So here we go. First of all, though, I'm going to say I was going to do something

1:09.2

where, you know, it's April

1:11.3

Fool's. It's April 1st. Oh, it's April Fool's. And Madeline's not here. What could we do?

1:15.2

And then I open Instagram today. And the amount of people who are out of control on that app on April

1:23.4

1st, every app, every internet. As soon as brands got involved with April Fool's Day, it just absolutely, they ruined it.

1:32.2

The internet ruined something.

1:33.9

Who would have thought?

1:34.6

Let's start with a little March madness because I've been pretty obsessed.

1:40.5

And I also want to get out ahead of something else and say that I'm rooting for the teams that

1:44.5

most people hate. I'm rooting for the Yukon women and I'm rooting for the Duke men. My father-in-law is

1:49.6

the biggest Yukon women's fan that I've ever met and it has rubbed off on me. It is also,
