Uhh, Basketball?

This week Sean and Katie chat about the NBA's long-awaited return to action and Sean's continued ignorance of all things Kate Bush before discussing their thoughts on NBA scrimmages, Lou Williams' Magic City adventure and Kyrie Irving donating $1.5 million to supplement the salaries of WNBA players sitting out their seasons. Next they tackle some troubling anti-vaccine social posts from Michael Porter Jr. and Terence Davis before addressing the recent ESPN report on abuse at the NBA's athletic academies in China. They close things out by making some predictions for the NBA's post-season in the Segment They're Trying Out This Week.

This week Sean Woodley and Katie Heindl open things up with a discussion of what the Rasheed Wallace experience might have looked like had he ever played games in cavernous empty gyms before digging into the latest good and bad news updates from inside the bubble. They also talk about Mark Cuban's crusade against the National Anthem Police and the WNBA's inconsistency in dealing with medical exemptions. Next they revive "Mascot Theory" to do a deep dive on Mickey Mouse, who is the worst of the Disney characters; like seriously, why does he exist. Lastly, inspired by Hassan Whiteside's belting out of "Jessie's Girl" on IG, Sean and Katie test out a new (excellent) segment where they try to match NBA teams up with hit bangers from the 80s. All that, plus their Posters of the Week!

Katie and Sean start off by delving into what life seems like for players in the bubble thus far and discuss the positive tests for James Harden, Russell Westbrook and Michael Beasley. They also get a bit steamed on the WNBA screwing over Elena Delle Donne when it comes to not exempting her from playing in their bubble, and not paying her, due to her Lyme diagnosis. There's a meandering walk through the summer camp antics of week one in the bubble, and much like an overwrought letter home from a homesick camper, Camp Disney's got a bit of everything. They wrap by trying a new segment which is really an old segment but now with way more people involved.

This week Sean Woodley and Katie Heindl chat about their new biggest fan, The Great Canadian Baking Show, before diving into the steady stream of news coming out of the freshly-opened NBA bubble at Disney. They discuss room tours, players partaking in dangerous hotel behaviour, and what's on the bubble's menu before addressing the less-than inspiring list of approved social justice messages that players have the option of wearing on their jerseys. Next they're joined by Lindsay Gibbs (Power Plays, the Burn It All Down podcast) to chat about the WNBA's bubble in Bradenton, Florida, early returns on the quality of the accommodations, which on-court storylines are the most exciting heading into the season, and the ongoing controversy with Atlanta Dream part-owner, Sen. Kelly Loeffler, who is a very bad person. They wrap up the show with a new segment they're trying out this week called Sean Marks Simulator, where Katie and Sean each attempt to fill out the remainder of the decimated Brooklyn Nets roster. All that, plus their Isolators / Posters / Instagrammers of the Week!

Katie and Sean dive back into the NBA Bubble because it turns out you can do that, you can come and go from it, just like Adam Silver is planning to do. Bubble price, bubble cops, bubble ageism — all here.

Plus: Sean tries to cancel Adam Silver and is Katie a seer now?

Sean and Katie start strong by getting fired up about what an absolute loser Jason Kidd is and continue into the increasingly untenable (but still happening) return to play in the NBA's Orlando bubble. Increasing positive Covid-19 test results among players, the NBA's new insurance policy around career-ending Covid-related injuries, it's all depressingly here. Then Sean introduces a new segment called NBA Cottage Life to try and turn things around, tell us if it worked?

This week Sean and Katie begin by wondering which Disney character Rasheed Wallace likes the most before diving into the many questions they have with the NBA's return to play plan. They address Kyrie Irving leading a group of players who believe the NBA's return will distract from the ongoing, nationwide social justice movement, as well as some of the more intelligent counters to their arguments. Next they address the NBA's 113-page return protocol and some of its more bizarre stipulations, including the noted lack of doubles ping pong and potential hijinks the hotel arrangements could incite. Lastly they take a trip to robotics camp with mechanical whiz Jarrett Allen and hand out their isolators of the week.

This week, Katie and Sean kick things off with a discussion of which whales Rasheed Wallace likes the most before diving into the growing list of issues with the NBA's Disney World bubble plan, including the locking in of media members and the possibility of needing replacement players to fill roster spots. Next they chat about the inspiring work being done by the NBA's players amid the current social movement, with LeBron James' support of Black voters' rights leading the way. They also chat about the gross trend of body shaming NBA players that may or may not be out of shape. To close out the show they discuss Michael Jordan's successful fishing trip before giving out their Instagrammers of the Week.

On today’s episode, Yasmin (@carmelohdrama), cohost of Dishes & Dimes, joins Katie and Sean to talk about the NBA’s response to the murder of George Floyd. We talk about team statements, player responses, what’s lacking and what’s next, as well as all the unwieldy ways this season is proposed to return in a very expensive, potentially dangerous(!!) bubble.

This week Sean and Katie open up by discussing their favourite era of Rasheed Wallace. Next they imagine what an NBA World Cup style tournament might look like, and some outside-the-box ways the league should go about seeding. Later they try to figure out which teams and players are secretly hoping they don’t have to return to play, before they try out a new segment called I’m Worried About Paul Pierce. Of course it all wraps up with Sean and Katie’s self isolators of the week.
