So the 2018 Lottery Party itself sold out in just a few hours (potentially more tickets will be made available at a later date!), but the Lottery Party shirts are here. And they are sliiiiiiick. There are 4 designs this year, and only most of them will necessitate a long explanation for the uncomfortably friendly lady at the gym ("No, history is over here, see, and we, that is to say, this podcast subculture I belong to, are on the right side of it"). Here's a taste, with a phrase that's been whispered in Process circles since MCW led the boys to three straight wins to kick off the 2013-14 season, and is said here with a bit less sarcasm.
That shirt - along with THREE others, huge year for swag - is available via Cotton Bureau, which Spike has legally bound me to say are "the nicest ever. They are Next Level tri-blend t-shirts.. That means they whole shirt, even the image, will be super soft, and not digital prints like you get from others. Digital prints are fine, but these are better. This is without question the highest quality t-shirt we can offer." Those words were definitely my own. Big thanks to Tanner at Cheesesteak Tees for once again delivering the fresh designs. They're dope, and you have from now until 4/23 if you want them to arrive in time to wear to the Lottery Party. After that, they'll be available until May 16th, then possibly gone forever. Get the shirts here. Don't wait!
This week on the pod, the boys talked about THE SIXERS CLINCHING A PLAYOFF SPOT, WHAT?! That, along with a 6-game winning streak and much fun & whimsy behind Molly Sullivan's reports, meant it was time to once again re-litigate The Process, reflect on our feelings for this team, and restate how very right we were. Also Mike has a classic nonsense Markelle take and some measured Coach Of The Year discussion. It's going to be two pods a week once the Playoffs start, so get ready for double the hot basketball talk of back cuts and lineup tinkering. We'll all know, indeed.
