Rights To Ricky Sanchez: The Sixers Podcast

The NBA was heading smoothly toward its Orlando arrival, and then Kyrie said that "something is fishy." We discuss the different issues in restarting, what would happen if Ben Simmons played with Michael Jordan, whether shorts are pants, and Sixers Adam gives a take that will most likely cause outrage.  The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook.  The Ricky is now on YouTube with full video. This week’s Carl Landry Record Club album is Brian Fallon’s ‘Local Honey.’

Ike Reese, who once jumped on Mike's back after the Sixers won the Lottery, joins the show to talk about his afternoon show on 94WIP, Ben Simmons and the Sixers after the layoff in the weirdo Orlando playoffs, and his experience on the air in the last two weeks during the George Floyd protests. We also discuss Larry Brown's comments about Simmons and Embiid and whether Joel is actually working out six times a week. The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook. 

Friend of the Ricky Bill O'Neill was screwed by the Pro Bowlers Association, Spike has an aggressive and possibly controversial take about the Sixers coaching situation, the guys discuss the release of Mike's Brotherly Love script on 6/25 for charity (thanks Touchstone!), which Sixers would be the best two on two team, whether Furkan looks a little hefty in his latest social media posts, we return to the Ship Of Theseus, and look at some Sixers Adam trade proposals. The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook. 

The Sixers will be one of 22 teams competing in empty gyms in Disney World. We discuss how we think the team will fare, the continuing protests across the country, and we welcome World Champion Bowler, Sixers fan, and Ricky guy Bill O'Neill to ask him a million bowling questions he never expected. Bill is on Twitter here, and will be bowling live on Fox, Friday night at 7pm. He'll donate 10% of his winnings to Coded By Kids. The Rights To Ricky Sanchez podcast is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook. We'd like to thank Draft Kings for their support, and donations to our charities. 

We open up the podcast talking about the George Floyd protests and demonstrations, then move to the two-year anniversary of the Bryan Colangelo Burner Accounts discovery (21:05), your chance to get the Brotherly Love script (38:20), Andrew Unterberger's Top 20 Food List (44:13), and head into the Lorenzo Brown mailbag to talk about a pandemic parade, the rules of signing free agents, and some Bryan Colangelo relationship advice (55:42).

Butch Walker is on the Mount Rushmore of Spike’s favorite musicians, and joined us to talk about his new album American Love Story, a rock opera about our divided country, how he’s ended up with only superfans, the two cafes in Australia named in his honor, when he knew he made it, his dog Aldo, and producing mega-acts like Green Day and Weezer. We also discussed the NBAs potential playoff setups in Orlando, as well as the players desire to have nice hotel rooms (amazingly we did not hear anything about the owners who are probably happy with whatever!). You can listen to American Love Story here, buy the vinyl here, follow Butch on Instagram and Twitter. Here is a Spotify playlist Spike made for Mike of Butch Walker essentials.

The NBA is going to try it, and we're going to talk about it. We discuss the plan to restart the season at Disney World, and the different options the league has presented to the teams, along with the reality of fewer than ten games from now until December. We talk about a new Process book that has the support of the team, and how a pro-CEO story ends up sounding. A return to relationship advice, our best memorabilia, These Uncertain Times and what we've grown to appreciate most. 

Tommy From Down The Shore finally makes his first appearance on 94WIP, in a surprise call about Donovan McNabb, the Hinkie discussion on 94WIP brings back the worst memories, the NBA’s plan to play in Disney World and the reality TV implications, and Ricky legend Eliza Hardy Jones finally joins the pod to talk about her musical contributions to the pod, her history as a Sixers fan, the music quilt project, covering Toni Tony Tatone and her life as the child of a sex therapist. Follow Eliza on Twitter and go to her website to check out her music!

We discuss the legal age you should have to be to be held accountable for your takes, and an age limit, Brett Brown watching Ben Simmons throw up from back pain, Mike has to play JJ Redick Poetry or Nephew Kyle Rap, the potential coming over of Vasilije Micic, Sixers Adam’s list of the Top 20 Foods in existence. we revisit the Mike Weber Memorial Banned List, and talk about a potential Process 30 For 30 for the 50th time. To play Redick Poetry or Nephew Kyle rap for a free Zoomies session from the Brandywine SPCA, email us or tweet us two lines of your own rap or poetry. We’ll do the contest live on Zoom with the contestant.

Tony Wroten is a legend, the guy who said Trust The Process first, and one of our favorite players since the Process began. We harassed Tony on Twitter to let us call him and talk to him during the Summer of 2017. While he was sleepy, he gave us 50 minutes of every story we wanted.  The podcast will return with a new one on Wednesday. Sorry for the missed Sunday, use it as an opportunity to catch up!
