Summary
Madeline is back from vacation (thank the good lord) and the gals are back in action! They start off by examining the recent breaking news that the Denver Nuggets fired head coach Michael Malone and GM Calvin Booth, which proves that companies will even kick star employees to the curb (3:19). March Madness has officially wrapped up, and Paige Bueckers and the UConn Huskies are champions after a ten-year drought (9:43). They’ve also broken the Candace Parker Curse, which you can learn all about here. The Florida men beat Houston to win a championship, but Madeline and Charlotte were not happy with the outcome.
Notre Dame star Olivia Miles announced that she’s transferring to TCU (20:38). Speaking of TCU, star player Hailey Van Lith is now on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swim, so the gals decide where they’ll do their inevitable swim photoshoot (21:04). Then it’s time for a few couples updates: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been popping up in ski locales (24:09), soccer star Trinity Rodman hard-launched her tennis star boyfriend Ben Shelton (29:22), and LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne and Pittsburgh Pirate star Paul Skenes were featured in GQ (30:36).
In news nobody saw coming, a biotech company backed by Tom Brady and Tiger Woods brought back the formerly-extinct dire wolf (do it to a dinosaur and the gals will be impressed) (36:05). Gisele Bünchen and her Jiu-Jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente will not be attending the Met Gala which makes Madeline think that Tom Brady will be there (39:55). And, finally, an update on everyone’s favorite couple: Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson (41:21).
