I think it's time you told us how you know that James Harden has so much sex

This is kind of a one-sided jigsaw. Would you shit your pants (no bringing spare clothes with you) once a week while in public if it made Joel's knee return to 2022-2023 levels of health?

Bruh, what mentally sane person is taking this deal? I love Joel, but I’m not shitting my pants once a week for his knees. You gotta make this enticing. Once a month maybe? Or it’s only a Hershey’s squirt. Or it doesn’t smell, and you just have to deal with it… once a week of real human shit on your pants in public is insane. Anyone who takes this needs to be locked up and medicated… and must donate their meniscus.

Hey guys, I'm an amateur screenwriter from the Philippines. And thanks to the Ricky, I've began writing a movie inspired by how you guys talk about Tommy Alter. The basic premise being, what if a vanilla-ass generic guy just keeps winning in life without really any discernible talent. The perspective would be from his assistant who lives a much more humbling life. The tone is sort of like a mix of Parasite and Burning (2018). If this movie gets made in the next 10 to 15 years, I'll make sure to say the name in the credits

Can Spike now disclose the contents of the email recevied on 7 December 2015 in the wake of the Jerry Colengelo hiring?

Spike forwarded the mail to Mike during minute 36 of the podcast, to which Mike laughed histerically while Spike declared "I've never received correspondence from him" and "I didn't even @ him!". No other details were shared on the podcast and I believe we deserve answers after 9+ years.

How much would you be willing to give up with PG to get Durant? Also where’s the lottery party going to be?

How much do you feel like a traitor to LL after you do an ad read for another jeweler on the radio?

Haha I don't do endorsements for other jewelers but I do have a sponsorship I need to read for one. Those are the breaks!

Other than top contenders (say top two teams in standings for each conference) and the Spurs, which franchise are you most envious of for the next 3-5 years? Non basketball: best condiment?

If you could go back in time to last summer, knowing everything that you know now, which current contract would you have preferred the Sixers give out — Paul George’s, or Tobias Harris’?

Given the contract, go fuck yourself Jason.

Really an AU question but Spike can answer too - Long Long Way to Go is actually better than In the Air Tonight, right?

It feels like Joel's career is starting to mirror David Robinson's pre-Duncan: MVP, All-Star, regular-season success, but no championship. If the Sixers landed a generational talent after an Embiid injury-plagued season, and then won a title with him, how would that redefine Embiid's legacy in Philly?

Who would win in an all star game between team smoker arms and team doughboys? And who would be in your starting five

What team-specific podcasts come closest to capturing a Ricky-like relationship to the team they cover? Would love to hear your answers both as to other NBA teams and as to other Philly sports teams.

If you were to create a a Mount Rushmore of Ricky contributors, who would be on it?

They need to be people who aren’t paid to work on the Ricky (i.e. people like Weekly Becky, not Zo).

They also don’t need to be a regular contributor (i.e. that person who contributed the phrase “smoker’s arms” seems to have had an outsized contribution to this podcast).
