Summary
Welcome back to the Sports Gossip Show! Madeline and Charlotte are coming at you today with a jam-packed show full of the latest updates in the wild world of sports. But first, they start with the debacle at the Coldplay concert in Boston and explain why it was sports.
Then it’s time to dissect WNBA All-Star weekend, which looked like the best party on earth. Dallas Wings star Paige Bueckers and UConn star Azzi Fudd are officially together. The StudBudz — the duo of Minnesota Lynx teammates Courtney Williams and Natisha Hiedeman — broke the internet (Google them and Megan Rapinoe and thank us later). WNBA players advocated for fair pay with T-shirts. It was amazing.
Then, a quick detour down Millennial Memory Lane, followed by the huge news that artist Megan Thee Stallion is dating NBA player Klay Thompson, and the gals couldn’t be more into it. Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce got added to the Swift family group chat after Taylor’s dad had a health scare. Friends of the show (lol) UNC head coach Bill Belichick and his young girlfriend Jordon Hudson will be in a docuseries on Hulu. President Donald Trump is once again fighting with the NFL. There is huge drama in the NFL Players Association. And, finally, a round-up of athlete weddings and their florals over the past few weeks!

Bright as a red light. Okay. A couple rows ahead of me. We land. A woman stands up. No. Also has red hair. No way. What are the odds? Three are you? |

| 0:22.3 | What are the odds? Three are you? Three natural redheads are on a flight within a seat of each other, but then a few rows. And I thought to myself, we couldn't all audition to be on the Dallas Cowboys cheerlers. |
| 0:34.7 | There are too many redheads on this plane. Kelly Finglass would say out of there. Out of there. Except someone did tell me that she apparently does like redheads and I was like, well, it doesn't look like she likes redheads. Yeah, prove it. Prove it. Actions speak louder than words. Perf it. Also, one bone to pick with what you just said. What? You don't know they're all natural redheads. Oh, no, they were for sure. |

| 1:36.5 | credentials provided? Not only did I say it's not working. I said an email. She did. To a couple people. |
| 1:42.2 | To multiple people on a threat site. It's not working. |
| 2:00.7 | I go up to her computer and I said you copy and paste the username and password. Charlotte goes, no, I click the link. And I go, well, you have to log in. Yeah. To then, you know, be logged in. I think subconsciously I didn't want to log in because I had to log out of something else to then log in. It's too many steps. |
