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

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.

We’ll do the contest live on Zoom with the contestant.

One year since the Kawhi Leonard quadruple doink, why it still hurts, and what would have happened in overtime. We discuss the NBPA conference call with seven people who we can’t imagine on one conference call talking about restarting the NBA. And Matt from Mt. Joy joins us to talk about whether we’ll remember the Sixers season better if they never play again, the artistic merit of Here They Come, the creative process during Quarantine, if Kevin O’Connor is a liar, and more. Matt also performs his cover of a Tony T. classic, and “Death” from Mt. Joy’s new album. Follow Mt. Joy on Twitter, on Instagram, get merchandise from them, and check them out on Spotify.

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!

Our friends Amos Lee and Mutlu are stuck at home like the rest of us. They joined us for a monster podcast talking about whether Joel and Ben will ever get it together, their friendship, drinking and sobriety, the future of music and how it finds a way through Covid-19, the best TV theme songs of all time, Mutlu’s love for 94WIP and a lot more. Toni Tony Tatone and Tommy From Down The Shore join us sporadically through the podcast to bring a little hoagie to the experience.
