Sylvia and Madeleine recap a week in the WNBA on their Double Drivel podcast, covering game results, records, and standings, then playing “Two Truths and a Drivel,” and ending with upcoming matchups and wish lists. They discuss the Wings’ loss to the Valkyries (91–80) and dramatic win over the Sky (93–92) featuring a late Paige surge, plus key scorers on both sides. They review the Fever’s two losses to the Dream (108–101, 113–96, a Dream franchise-record 113), highlighting defensive issues, turnovers, foul trouble, roster construction concerns, and challenge usage. League notes include Angel Reese’s fastest-to-1,000 rebounds record, Olivia Miles’ rookie first-half scoring record, Mystics upsets of the Liberty and Lynx, and the Sparks’ 30th anniversary win over the Liberty on a Nneka buzzer-beater. Standings and Commissioner’s Cup matchup (Liberty vs Aces) are updated, and they preview next week’s games and mention Caitlin Clark’s Nike “Caitlin 1” shoe release date in October.

Sylvia and Madeleine recap a WNBA-heavy episode focused on their Portland trip and Wings coverage, plus game highlights, Commissioner’s Cup/standings, and early All-Star voting. The Fever are on a four-game win streak, beating the Mystics 78-76 on a Caitlin Clark buzzer-beater, Chicago 114-106 in overtime with 30+ point double-doubles from Aaliyah Boston (34/12) and Clark (32/10), Connecticut 85-75 with Sophie Cunningham’s late 11-point burst, and Toronto 113-91 led by Kelsey Mitchell (27) and Cunningham (24, 6/7 from three).
