Let's Go Visit Dario And Rock
That's right, we're going to Minnesota in March to see the Sixers visit the Timberwolves with Dario Saric and Rock Covington, and you should come with us. We were going to Atlanta, but this seems so much more important. Scroll down for the full details.
The first year of Bus The Process, we went to Brooklyn because it was... there. Year two, we went to Washington DC because we hate Andrew Sharp. Year three it was Milwaukee, to reclaim the Rookie Of The Year trophy that was rightfully Joel Embiid's. This year, we're going for love.
No matter what you thought of the trade for Jimmy Butler, Rock and Dario gave their blood, sweat and tears to the team and the fans, and both were great guests at Live Rickys. At the end of March, we're going to fly to Minneapolis to reunite the Core Four of The Process, TJ, Joel, Roco and Dario.
SPACE IS LIMITED on this trip and it is filling up. It's only $150 per person to reserve your spot, so don't wait. This is family and significant other friendly!
* if you already made a deposit for the Atlanta trip, you should have an email from Joe from Friday, the deposit will transfer over. If you want a refund, you can do that too. Any questions at all, email us or Joe.

Commemorative Rights to Ricky Sanchez Fly The Process shirt; and this shirt, let us tell you, it's amazing.
Continuing with the 80s rock t-shirt theme from last year's Justice For Joel shirt, Tanner Lowry used Guns N' Roses' Appetite For Destruction album cover for inspiration. Joel is up top, Dario to the right, TJ to the left, and Roco on the bottom. In the middle, the father of the Process Core Four, Sam. The shirt alone might be worth the cost of the trip. It will be in demand.

Final Thoughts (From Spike)
First of all, this is going to be a great time. As great as the first two bus trips were, last year really took it to another level as far as fun and camaraderie. It was really something to see Sixers fans randomly take over Chicago in March. I'm so proud of what all of us have built and accomplished and this has been quite a celebration.
Next, we're always working on some special extras during the trip. The last two years, Joel has come out and addressed as and taken photos after the game (Milwaukee, Washington), and Brett Brown has addressed the group as well. And while I will not promise anything (because nothing has been promised), you know I won't rest until something cool happens.
Obviously seeing Jimmy Butler go back to Minnesota will be very cool. But everyone knows what Covington and Saric have meant to the team, us as fans, and The Process as a whole. Imagine their faces when we're cheering like maniacs every time they make a shot in warmups. It'll be special.
Minneapolis is a really awesome city. The people are nice, it's a very good restaurant town, and HELLO, PRINCE WAS FROM THERE. In your free time you could always go visit Paisley Park studios. This will be a cool trip if you're bringing friends, kids, or even a significant other.
Finally, we're excited to really do some good with this trip. Thanks to the trip itself, we're going to make a $10,000 donation to the Timberwolves Fastbreak Foundation, which supports hands-on programs that positively impact the youth in Minneapolis. You know we love a good charity.
Atlanta would have been fun, for sure. But this is going to be special. I can't wait to go with you. We talked about it on Saturday's pod.
