The Rights To Ricky Sanchez: The Sixers (76ers) Podcast

Before we get to tons of questions from our Ask Me Anything that was posted on Reddit, we check in with Lakers fans with Mike. Are they worried? Can LeBron come through? Are their neighbors complaining? We quickly discuss Mike O'Connor's Top 12 Overrated Foods list, and then get into the AMA, which includes a heated debate about Jimmy Butler, and the sports take economy. We're sending our love to Joel Embiid and Anne De Paula, who lost their loving dog Klaus this week. We also send our love to Jaron "The Chef" Olevsky and his family who lost their dog Cedar this week. Rest In Peace.  The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook.

BIG NEWS! The Sixers are interviewing people for an executive position in the front office underneath Elton Brand. Does this mean an intern? Does it mean they will be physically under a giant Elton Brand chair? We talk about Doc Rivers' intro press conference, and what say he'll have over personnel. We discuss the falling NBA ratings, a rousing episode of relationship advice, and a listener whose life was changed forever. We also briefly discuss calling Doc Rivers, "Glenn." The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook. 

Doc Rivers is officially the head coach of the Philadelphia 76ers, and we go over the pluses and minuses of the hire, Embiid and Simmons reactions, and what is next. We dive deep into the mailbag to discuss the facts and fiction of Ben Simmons, proof of aliens vs. discovering the source of Burnergate, the ideal thermostat temperature and what makes us qualified to do this podcast. Also: what's Mike going for with his hair and is Spike an anti-vaxer? The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook. 

With Doc Rivers in town to have an awkward dinner with Josh Harris and David Blitzer, it seems like he'll be the next Sixers coach. We talk about personnel control and what Rivers would bring to the team. We talk about Jimmy Butler in the NBA Finals, and give our predictions for the Bubble Finals. Finally, we bring on comedy writer Doug Mand (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, How I Met Your Mother, Doodie Calls), to settle the standing vs. sitting debate once and for all. The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook. 

The Sixers still have not made meaningful changes in the front office. We discuss what we do if they don't, the hilarious Mike D'Antoni and James Harden rumors (why not!), Joel Embiid becoming a dad and the amazing World War III of takes if he had left during the Eastern Conference Finals (why not!), why basketball has been better in the bubble, the Phillies, and the standing vs. sitting wiping debate rages on.  The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook. 

Ranking Joel Embiid vs. Nikola Jokic and Anthony Davis, talking about Scott O'Neil's upcoming ridiculous book, Mike's quest for Twitter verification, what Mike D'Antoni's hire would mean for the roster, where Ben Simmons ranks among the best under-25 players in the NBA, the continuation of the standing vs. sitting wiping debate, and Tony T and Tommy from Down The Shore announce the finalists for the autographed Embiid Ones.

Jimmy Butler tormenting Sixers fans every other day in the Eastern Conference Finals. We discuss what we can learn from the Butler time in Philly, and whether we should move on (LOL, move on!). We disparage Sixers ownership for not caring about the team, Alyssa The Lakers Fan from the Table Flipping Podcast joins us to talk about success in the fake NBA playoffs, and we discuss what Mike D'Antoni would mean for Simmons and Embiid. "I don't think it's good business when all of your rival teams think you're a fuckin joke." The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook. 

Once again, the CEO of the Sixers is in the crosshairs of the podcast, Spike gets his comeuppance as every team he's ever made fun of is in the NBA Conference Finals, we discuss Mike D'Antoni as the "lead candidate" for the head coaching job, new Sixers arena locations, a stunning relationship advice segment that involves bowling, having two favorite teams, and the reality of standing wiping.

In the ultimate comeuppance, the Celtics will meet the Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals. We discuss who we'll be cheering for, who will shame the Sixers the most, and our picks for this ECF of nightmares. We talk about the prospect of running back basically the entire 2020 roster to keep the Sixers from fucking it up worse, trading for Terry Rozier, who Ben Simmons will shoot for. and who was really worse, Jahlil Okafor or Shawn Bradley. Wow this is dark. The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook.   

After all the pain they’ve caused, we all win a round against the Sixers owners, as their arena plans get denied. Mike theorizes that this is one of the darkest Sixers times in modern history, we discuss Jimmy Butler’s success, Spike’s deleted tweets, the rumor about Billy Donovan and the Sixers, whether Embiid and Simmons are actually Top 15 players, and what you’d say to Adam Silver if you saw him on vacation. We’re also giving away a pair of autographed Under Armor Embiid 1s in Joel’s size.
