A recent lawsuit filing alleges the Sacramento Kings of pregnancy discrimination, sexual harassment, and more. This is yet another worsening layer of rot and mess that fans and employees alike have seen from the franchise over the last many years, and it wouldn't be the only case of an NBA team being a toxic boys club.

(likely taking the next week off as Jared is sick, if you couldn’t already tell. It was a struggle to ep prep with the sickness so thanks for hanging around)

As gambling and "trading" take a more prominent and intrusive place in our basketball viewing experience, so too comes betting scandals and questionable partnerships. For this spotlight episode we're joined by old friend of the show, Donald, to dig into these scandals, the Giannis + Kalshi partnership, and wonder why anyone would lie about when they first tried milk's favorite cookie.

NBA fandoms can be strange, toxic, parasocial. funny, yet genuinely special. They can be cult-like or part of a healthy local community. For this special themed episode we're joined by Marcos, host of the Homie Vulgaris pod, author of the Homie Manifesto, and online homie, for some help dissecting the state of NBA fandoms and a connection to homieism. And K-pop. We also discuss foul language analytics, classic tweets, and more.
