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...

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,...

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...

Our friends Amos Lee and Mutlu are stuck at home like the rest of us.

Toni Tony Tatone and Tommy From Down The Shore join u...

You’re here for us, and we love you for it. The mailbag has been pretty unbelievable since basketball went away, and we thought we owed it to you to cover all we could, topics include but aren’t limited to Kyle Lowry, the ending of How I Met Your Mother, the best American cities, playoffs without fans, time machines, player empowerment, a former Sixer doing a Wizards podcast and much more. We also...

Sam Hinkie has a new company that has nothing to do with sports, and Mark Eversley of the Sixers Front Office Collaborators got new jobs, and we talk about them both.

Then Alyssa Litman and Taylor Misiak from The Table Flipping Podcast join us to talk Reality TV, The Bachelor,...

Philadelphia legend G. Love joined the pod to talk about his love for the Sixers and Allen Iverson, why Philadelphians care so much about being from Philly, the Love From Philly Festival and the current situation for musicians.

An oddly timed profile on Ben Simmons talked about his health, attitude, and of course, why he doesn’t shoot three point shots. We discuss what Simmons said, and what the people around him said. We go over the six Al Horford trades that SixersAdam proposed, added a new album to the Carl Landry Record Club, discussed handsome NBA players, why Philly doesn’t have a WNBA team, what the best cereal is...

The 72 hours have elapsed, and the JJ Redick story closes with some controversy, as Spike and Mike work through the details. We catch up with Andrew Unterberger, who has continued to follow the Sixers season in an alternate reality, and start their 4 vs. 5 seed series with the Heat today. We come back to the Ricky Record Club (now named Carl Landry Record Club) to review Margo Price, discuss the n...

Somehow during the NBA’s awful H.O.R.S.E. competition, a brief Twitter flurry between Spike and JJ Redick resulted in a few jabs back and forth, and an unfulfilled promise from Redick. What will be the consequences? We discuss Michael Jordan’s upcoming docuseries, legacy and the need to see basketball players to appreciate them, whether history starts at 2002, the Jigsaw Finals and world champion,...

Somehow in all of our podcasts we’ve never discussed the idea of Joel Embiid needing to discover what his identity of a basketball player is (thanks Uriah!). We discuss that, we do the semifinals of the Jigsaw Final Four, decide on doing the weekly Ricky Record Club, revisit the Ship Of Theseus, discuss a Ricky mention in a Phd dissertation at the University of Michigan, sitings of both Bryan and...

What would have happened if the Sixers never traded up for Markelle Fultz? We discuss the possible and most likely outcomes of the scenario that Derek Bodner wrote about in The Athletic.

The Jigsaw Final Four is set as Mike does the Elite Eight matchups, a new Vallone’s Deli com...

When the Sixers owners attempted to make every non-contracted Sixers employee making $50,000 or more take a pay cut, Joel Embiid stepped in with a superstar moved and publicly shamed them into changing their minds. We discuss the PR blunder of the century by the owners and team CEO, the Sixers victory in the Yahoo NBA simulated NBA2K playoffs, some huge, exciting additions to the Rights To Ricky S...

The Covid-19 offseason continues with a talk about when the NBA will resume and if the players will get their next paycheck, replacing Flip The Switch with the five-hour Rights To Ricky Sanchez Charity Zoomathon (next weekend), and a monster mailbag, including which non-Embiid Sixers player is the most likely to get out of shape, the most controversial basketball fantasy trade of all time, and the...

Kevin O’Connor of The Ringer was unbanned because of his beard and sweetness and talked about what he’s doing with his free time, the fact that the Patriots should have kept Jimmy G and traded Tom Brady and then he did a WEEI audition, the Sixers playoff rotation, who his favorite guitar player ever is, up and coming female pop artists, and he has to choose the winners of two matchups of the Field...

The Ricky has been social distancing for seven years, we were born for this. In the first episode of the Most Offseason Podcast series we’ve ever done, we talk about what it’s like to be stuck at home (surprise, Spike is fine with it), some analysis of the JJ Redick podcast with Jimmy Butler, and Mike takes part in the first ever Field Of 64 Jigsaws. You can access a Google Drive version of the Fi...

This is quite clearly the most ridiculous podcast we’ve ever done, as it was recorded immediately after the Sixers beat the Pistons, and the NBA suspended the regular season. Do we get the OKC pick now? Does Mike have to do Field Of 64 Jigsaws? What percentage of men wash their hands after going to the bathroom and wasn’t the Process always going to end with a new disease that ends the season? We...

After a loss in Golden State to a G-League team, we discuss why we have an influx of emails, tweets, and reviews talking about how much people hate the Sixers. Mike gives his theory about why we’re going to be watching them for a long time this season, update the status of the OKC pick, we analyze audio from the owners and CEO, decide on who the kinkiest Sixers player is, talk about the firing of...

We’ve relitigated The Process on podcast a thousand times, but it’s finally relitigated in book form. The first book about Sam Hinkie’s controversial Sixers rebuild has been written by Yaron Weitzman is called Tanking To The Top, and it’s out March 17th ( pre-order here ). Yaron joined us to talk about the behind the scenes stories he was able to uncover about Sam Hinkie, Brett Brown, Joel Embiid,...

Sure, the Sixers lost to the Clippers, but Shake Milton tied an NBA record for consecutive threes, scored 39 points, and became an instant “he’s going to help in the playoffs guy.” We give an update on the Top 20 Protected OKC Thunder Pick, our new logo, whether we have revisionist history about Sixers front office moves, and a huge announcement from Sixers Adam. Finally, Spike tries to convince M...

Joel Embiid has a sprained shoulder and is out for who knows how long. Ben Simmons has a back injury that the Sixers are lying about. The Sixers lost on the road to the Cleveland fucking Cavaliers and nobody seemed to care except Kyle O’Quinn, who somehow is still on the team even though he asked to leave. But at least we figured out how the Sixers are so much better at home, and it has to do with...
