Josh Harris said he was going to do a deep dive into what went wrong with the Sixers and change it. Elton Brand, who is apparently not one of those things, gave some hints as to what might change. We talked about Brand's comments, the three key people he'll make decisions on (aside from the coach), and the constant ass backwards way the team decides things. We say farewell to Brett Brown, and Thea Gallagher, Sixers fan, Ricky person, clinical psychologist, assistant professor at Penn, and Director of the outpatient clinic at The Center for Treatment and Study of Anxiety joins us to tell you how to get through the pain of being a Sixers fan.

Mercy Me: Sixers Go Down 3-0 To The Celtics, And A Special Guest
We just tried to have some fun on this one. At least they didn't quit? Maybe? The Sixers were in the game, but go down 3-0 to the Celtics in their first round playoff series. Mike continues to do the podcast in darkness, and now lays out how dumb he thinks everyone is. For the second half of the podcast, we surprise Mike with a special appearance from Andrew Sharp of Greatest Of All Talk (which you have to pay for). Sixers Adam had to cancel so the Sharp surprise both delighted and infuriated Mike. Sign up for the Ricky Bark In The Park team for Providence Animal Center here. Raise $50 and get the shirt.
