Dishing and Swishing

On this very “Giannis Antetokounmpo” edition of Dishing and Swishing, Mickey Swish is out, leaving us temporarily without the Greek Freak’s most loyal compatriot. Stepping in this week is the returning New and Improved VERY Rational Heat Fan, Matt. Matt joins the Vibe Navigator to break down all things Giannis, the Miami Heat, the Boston Celtics (including the ongoing Jaylen Brown fallout), and th...

Go New York, Go New York, Go! There you have it, folks, the New York Knicks are YOUR 2025-2026 NBA Champions. After 53 years one of the greatest droughts in sports is over and the City is lapping it up. We recap the Finals and break down where things went right for the Knicks and wrong for Wemby and the Spurs. These truly were one of the most entertaining postseasons in recent memory and we had a...

The boys are back! It’s the NBA Finals, Jerry! And We. Have. A. Series. The guys talk all things Knicks, Spurs, and the culmination of the season. Tune in!

The Western Conference Finals went seven games, and when the smoke cleared, it was the San Antonio Spurs left standing. OKC is DONE. SGA dropped 35 in Game 7 and it still wasn’t enough to get the reigning champions back into the last round. Mickey Swish and the Vibe Navigator break down how the Spurs knocked off the No. 1 seed, what Luke Kornet’s block means for Western civilizaiton, and why Wemba...

Welcome back to Dishing and Swishing, your courtside seat to all things NBA, powered by Orb Analytics Limited. First things first: a quick note from Ari Podcasts. Some technical difficulties on my end cost us a full breakdown of Vibe Navigator’s season-long gambling ledger. Hand up. My bad. We WILL be hitting that next week. In the East, the Knicks have cooked and the Cavs are officially stick-a-f...

He’s 22. He’s in the Conference Finals. He might be *is* the best player alive. Wemby week on Dishing and Swishing. Mickey Swish, the Vibe Navigator, and a bleary-eyed Ari Pods explain why none of this is surprising, but boy oh boy is it entertaining. Technically there are still four teams competing, but our eyes are all on Wemby. Just pull up a chair and watch the alien work. Tune in.

The boys return for another episode without their producer. Raw AND uncut! They start by recapping the NBA draft lottery and the WizArds fortunes and continue to analyze the playoffs, with some more jabs thrown at the Boston Celtics along the way.

The boys give an autopsy on the Celtics collapse and cover the rest of the NBA playoffs without their fearless producer. Resulting in a record length for a podcast!

Playoffs, playoffs, and more playoffs. Plus, a quick stop-in from Red, and a brand new guest on this week’s episode. Tune in!

The play-in is done, the bracket is set, and it’s time to get into it. Eight series, eight takes. We go deep on every first-round matchup, break down the key storylines so far, and figure out who’s actually built for a deep run and who’s liable to get exposed. Meanwhile, the Vibe Navigator lays some SERIOUS units in a desperate bid to dig out of the red. He’s trying his hardest, we promise. Tune i...

The title says it all, folks. Pretty simple one this week as we look ahead to the final play-in games Friday night and real-life NBA playoff basketball starting Saturday. It was a long season, but we made it. We walk through every first-round series, hand out our picks, and the Vibe Navigator even drops a couple units on the board. Tune in.

We’re in the final stretch of the ’25–’26 season and the league is held together with athletic tape and vibes. Half the stars are hurt, the other half are playing through things they probably shouldn’t, and Adam Silver is telling us we’re supposed to be excited about these playoffs. We are, though. We absolutely are. Plus, award season is here and we’re locking in our final picks. And, the Chicago...

Episode 52 is here, and we brought a guest. Newly minted RATIONAL Heat Fan Matt joins the pod from the road. We appreciate his commitment and his suspiciously reasonable takes. Duke goes down. We have thoughts. Lots of thoughts. Did we mention Matt is a Duke fan? Then we get into our favorite prospects from the upcoming draft class. Who’s built for the league and who’s about to find out that colle...

The boys are back and things continue to spiral… hopefully in a good way this time. We start off with the situation around Cade Cunningham’s collapsed lung. Scary, to say the least. We wish him well and look forward to seeing #2 back on the court whenever he’s ready. Then we dive straight into the league-wide chaos: Is Wemby already the MVP? Should Luka be higher in the conversation? Lower? Both??...

Episode 50. Fifty. 5-0. Yeah… we didn’t think we’d get here either. We’re celebrating the only way that makes sense: a  March Madness bracket challenge . FREE to  enter . Go head-to-head with the guys at The Orb, flex your college hoops knowledge, and take a shot at a $150 cash prize. Did we mention it’s free? Because it is.  Free . On the pod: Bam puts up a historic night and the guys are NOT on...

If you’re looking for a BAD Red Auerbach impression, this is the podcast for you. The boys talk hoop this week (surprise, surprise). Thirty minutes of Jayson Tatum and the Celtics right out of the gate. Young man looks spry. Fingers crossed. Then, like it or not Ja Morant IS your MVP. And finally, Wemby. Does Victor Wembanyama actually have a championship run in him this year…already?? It sounds r...

This week Mickey Swish and the Vibe Navigator talk all-things NBA. Jokić and Lu Dort got feisty, Giannis is playing again (and no-one’s quite sure why), and the enigma of Luka Dončić continues to confuse…where does the superstar actually stack up amongst NBA players. Plus, a new segment! Mickey Swish or Mickey Dish? We like it. We’re gonna do it again. Lots of nonsense. A bit of yelling. A whole l...

Welcome back to Dishing and Swishing! On Episode 47, we had to call in reinforcements. Not one. Not two. Not… Okay actually yes, two guests join the program. First up, we’re joined by the Orb Apprentice, the mind behind the Orb NBA Gambling Model, a cold, calculating machine which is, frankly, “outperforming” our beloved Vibe Navigator. We dive into the numbers, the methodology, and what happens w...

We kick things things off with a healthy discussion of last weekend’s All-Star Game. We liked it! A lot!! The dunk contest, on the other hand, did not get the same love. We also play a game, highlight a few teams to watch down the stretch, and check in on what may officially be a generational slide from the Vibe Navigator. Tune in!

Episode 45 is here and we had a guest! Shout out to Irrational Heat Fan Matt for pulling up and bringing the energy. We had a great time. Mickey Swish paid his debts and yes, he ate paper on the pod. Thank you Giannis. We also revisit the tanking debate and admit we were wrong. It is a problem. From there we get into Beef Stew, some of our favorite NBA brawls, and a little trip down chaos memory l...

The NBA trade deadline waits for no man, especially not James Harden. Early reports of Garland for Harden come true, and the Fat Suit Man does it again, forcing his way to Cleveland. The Giannis paper bet watch officially continues. One of your favorite hosts will be eating paper live on pod next week. Give a listen to find out who. Plus, we get some live NBA trade reactions as things start really...

The boys are back with a new episode and the Giannis conversation has officially reached a new level. We are not asking if he is getting moved anymore. We are betting on when it happens, and the fellas pony up quite the stakes. We also check in on the Clippers, who are suddenly on an absolute heater, and run through a handful of other hot stories from around the league. With the trade deadline loo...

Another week and another packed episode. We kick things off with a full postmortem on OUR Chicago Bears… one hell of a season. Back to hoops, we talk about Jimmy Butler’s torn ACL and what it means for both him and the Dubs moving forward. Then, we head East and check in on the flailing Knicks and the Celtics’ rise, including the nearing return of JT and what that changes in the conference. We als...

The whole crew is back for the first time in the New Year! Mickey Swish, the Vibe Navigator, and Ari Pods sit down to talk early-January hoops. We hit Trae Young heading to Washington, whether there is actually a trade market for Ja Morant, and Kevin Durant passing Wilt on the all time scoring list. We get into Luka and LeBron and whether either of them can drag the Lakers on a real run this year,...

Episode 40 is here. Mickey Swish is out sick, so it’s just the Vibe Navigator and Ari Pods back in the booth after the holidays. We missed you. We talk about the Celtics. Then we talk about the Celtics some more. And yes, eventually we get to other things too. Turns out we really do need Doc Swish to keep us in line. We debate whether a 65 game minimum should really decide player awards, dig into...
