Friend of the pod Chris Pennant (cjpvoice) joins the show to talk about all things WNBA including the Discourse Wars, the MVP race, the Chicago Sky's season, where Skylar Diggins-Smith goes from here, the rise and fall of the Phoenix Mercury, why Sandy Brondello has not been the problem, and why the Mystics are the most fun team in the league.

The LeBron James Final Decision has finally dropped and the King is now in Philadelphia! Chris and Lyndsay return to breakdown LeBron's decision to go to the City of Brotherly Love, what that means on and off the court, and where that puts the Sixers in a revamped and deep Eastern Conference. After wrapping on LeBron, they discuss All-Star, the Stud Budz, Marina Mabrey's meaningful gesture during the Allie Quigley Invitational 3pt Contest, Sophie Cunningham and her transphobic/hateful comments and the W's response (or lack thereof), the brother/sisterhood in professional sports, and why Skeletor (Adam Silver) needs to make sure the Portland Trailblazers stay in Portland. 

Chris and Lyndsay are back, joined by Imman from the Dishes and Dimes podcast to discuss the latest news in the league(s). They discuss LeBron's continuing free agency, Kawhi's pending status as a Raptor and the nightmare fuel provided by the investigation, and LaMelo Ball's choices in tattoos before assessing what's wrong with the Mercury and giving Marina Mabrey her flowers.

It's officially NBA trade season and there have already been some tectonic shifts. Giannis is finally on the move after the most arduous trade saga in recent memory. LaMelo is, shockingly, a Timberwolf. And everybody - even some teams who aren't that good! - is tying themselves in knots to make sure the Knicks don't repeat as champions.

Chris and Lyndsay are back to discuss THE New York Knickerbockers as your 2026 NBA Champions. They talk about how it feels as a Knicks fan to win after 53 years, the blend of optimism and pessimism always carried by Knicks fans, OG's tip in and why Raptors fans will always root for him, Josh Hart's $20,000 bottle of wine, Wemby's flagrant fouls, and what the Spurs need to get back to this stage.

Chris and Lyndsay are back to talk about the NBA Finals and everything that lead up to now. They discuss how Wemby was created to personally make Chet's life hell, SGA and his free throws, the San Antonio Public Library's player sized stacks, how the Sacramento Kings influenced these Finals, KAT's playmaking, and the power of friendship.

On this episode of Wine & Dime, Chris and Lyndsay are back with some Spanish wine to discuss all things WNBA and NBA playoffs. They begin with the messy start in Dallas, the surprising (and once again kind of depressing) Chicago Sky, Portland's atmosphere being fire, and the impact of international scouting being apparent so far in teams like Phoenix and Toronto. They close the episode by declaring the Sixers frauds, attempting to figure out the path forward in Minnesota, recapping Spurs/Thunder and previewing Knicks/Cavaliers.

Happy WNBA season to all who celebrate, the season is finally here! Chris and Lyndsay are back, this time joined by Christan B, to discuss which WNBA teams had the best offseasons, whose were the most baffling (looking at you, Valkyries and Sky), and the influx of college coaches into the league. They finish the episode with some NBA playoff thoughts, including the Knicks beating up on Philly, and fraud watch in Houston and Cleveland.
