Rights To Ricky Sanchez: The Sixers Podcast

In honor of Joel Embiid's performance against the Lakers, Ben Simmons' trascendence, and Robert Covington's contract, we're reporting our October 3rd, 2013 interview with Sam Hinkie. We were all so young and innocent. We'll be back this weekend!

Sacramento, home of Sam Hinkie's greatest swindle, is where the current Sixers win streak ends. We talk about the Utah and Sacramento games, the torturous interview with Jerry Colangelo, Joel Embiid's load management, Markelle Fultz's left handed jumpers, and our baby, Robert Covington (he's our baby).

The Sixers beat the Mavericks. Then they beat the Rockets. Then they beat the Hawks. THEN THEY BEAT THE PACERS! What is going on?! It's possible the Sixers are too good, and it's here to stay. We talk about the amazing play of both Simmons and Embiid, the growth of Robert Covington, the new starting lineup, and of course, TJ McConnell. We also dive into the never ending Jahlil Okafor fiasco.

Everything has been awfully serious and sometimes depressing over the last week, so we decided to lighten the mood with an all-mailbag Ricky. We picked creative questions. We'll talk about getting into a hot tub with Sixers, all-time spin moves, seeing John Gonzalez naked, some Jigsaws for Mike, running over Lou Bega, and more. If we didn't get to your question, we will next time! Or the next time! We will do more of these.

Just as we all predicted, the Sixers had a lead in the fourth quarter and lost to the Rockets. Are we at the point yet where we can start being mad at losses like this? We discuss the TJ McConnell game, the performance of the young stars Simmons and Embiid, and Brett Brown's coaching decisions down the stretch. We also discuss the most Sixers controversy of all-time, the Markelle Fultz injury-non-injury-what's-wrong-with-his-shot fiasco.

Playoffs! Five seed! 45 wins! The Sixers start 0-3 against the Wizards, Celtics and Raptors and nobody is happy (especially the new people!). We go through the games and tell you exactly how much you should be panicking. We discuss the Markelle Fultz situation and how to fix it, the play of Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid, and if this is, in fact, the moment.

They came, they saw, they played basketball. We discuss the Sixers opening night loss to the Wizards with an old school Sleepy Mike. Thanks to everyone who came out to hang with Spike and Marks at XFINITY Live! Remember, Bus The Process III is on sale now. Reserve your spot before we fill up. It's three nights in Chicago (March 2nd-5th), with our bus trip going to Milwaukee on Sunday, March 4th for the Sixers game against the Bucks (which will be televised on ESPN).

We did it! The very first live Rights To Ricky Sanchez podcast!  TJ McConnell joined us, and was just the best. We can't explain how great TJ was. Wait till you hear it. We were also joined by The Athletic's Derek Bodner, who showed up without a paywall, The Ringer's John Gonzalez, who walked here from Los Angeles, and SportsRadio 94WIP's Jon Marks (who was there but not on the pod), who is now one of us. Thank you for coming and for supporting us. It means the world to us.

It happened! We have actual basketball to talk about it. We survived another offseason. In a bonus midweek podcast, we talk about the game, Ben Simmons Markelle Fultz, and the rest of the guys. HEY BY THE WAY, THE LIVE RICKY IS ON SATURDAY! You're lucky, there are still some tickets left. Godner will be there. Gonzo will be there. Friggin TJ McConnell will be there.
