New year, same hosts, as Wine & Dime returns to discuss the continuing labour strife between the WNBAPA and the league including what the union's strike vote means, why the players have the most leverage possibly ever, the lack of trust between both parties, and how a strike ultimately hurts everyone. They close the episode by recapping all of the NBA news they missed.

Chris and Lyndsay are back, and popping open the Cava. They start with the messy breakup between Chris Paul and the Clippers, where Chris could wind up (Wolves?), and the general disaster that is the Los Angeles Clippers before hitting on the Suns connecting deeper with the Indigenous community in Arizona, Norman Powell the renaissance man, the state of North American sports ownership (James Dolan sucks, but private equity sucks worse), an update on the WNBA-WNBPA negotiations and the ever stranger landscape that is college athletics.

Chris and Lyndsay are back, this time with an assortment of wine and wine adjacent beverages, covering all the latest news in women's basketball including; the new Big Tech funded league that sounds like a Dr. Evil plan, the Chicago Sky's tragic asset management, what kind of players the Tempo will target for their inaugural season and the unnecessary but not bad Phoenix Mercury rebrand. After that they spend some time on a couple of surprising NBA teams (Suns and Raptors) and the joy of just having a decent team to cheer for.
