    Apr 8 2025
    Paige Bueckers and co. brought UCONN’s women basketball to its first March Madness win in almost a decade. After tearful celebrations, Coach Geno Auriemma shared some choice words for the NCAA.

    LeBron is not holding back anymore on all his foes. Caroline and Blake take a chance to react to their favorite details from his latest ESPN interview.

    Mar 25 2025
    Blake and Caroline predicted a Trinity Rodman and Ben Shelton hard launch, but Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump? Not on our bingo cards. Several couples made their relationships IG official this week, and there might be a potential power couple budding between JuJu Watkins and Jayden Daniels. That is, unless Jayden’s mom can help it.

    Before Simone and Suni came Shawn Johnson, the Olympic gold medalist who shot to fame during the Olympics 17 years ago. Yup, we feel old too. Shawn joins Blake and Caroline in the studio to talk about fans literally crawling under bathroom stalls to get her autograph, why she couldn’t go back to high school, and her biggest piece of advice to teenaged athletes on the brink of stardom.

    Mar 4 2025
    Commentators nationwide took a hard look in the mirror when LeBron called out the “weird energy” in sports media, where coverage of NBA players is nothing but negative. Seattle Storm player Lexie Brown joins us in the studio to chat about how that negativity led her to delete her Twitter, how she trained her brain to always see the positive, and why she finally took her own mental health seriously, thanks in part to a partnership with Love, Your Mind.
