I am tentatively planning to convince my wife to name our soon-to-be-born son Ian in part because that’s the name of the guy from Fugazi. My reasoning: I am finding the naming process is losing meaning (ie I can’t decide what is or isn’t a good name any more) so why not – at least it might imbue him with a punk ethos that would serve him well in life. Is that cool, lame or neither? What would you think if you found out you were sort of named after a guy from some band?
Even if Joel is close to 100 percent healthy, do you think the "new" way fouls are being called will be too much of an adjustment for him given the short timeframe before the playoffs? Non-basketball question: You have co-workers who are sensitive to deodorizing bathroom sprays. What's the call after taking a dump in the employee bathroom? A short spritz? Let it linger? I feel like I should do *something* more than the standard courtesy flush but I also don't want my co-workers gagging on potpourri.
Can Abbie create a graphic novel anthology of all of Chip Mitchell’s emails? Spike and Mike are both great, but the reason I still come back to the pod is for Chip. I would throw my money at you and whatever charity you support for a graphic novel of all of chips e-mails beautifully illustrated by the Ricky’s own Abbie.
In the long list of process mistakes (firing Hinkie, drafting Okafor, Simmons over Butler, drafting Fultz, letting go of Bridges, Harden over Haliburton, Spike and Mike not being allowed to ring the bell, and whatever others), which would you rank #1 on its ultimate impact on us not winning a title during this era?
Is there a dramatic difference between the kind of sets Nurse runs when Embiid is out vs when he was playing? How will the offensive play calling/style change when Embiid is back?
Related, how much of an issue will it be that Embiid will only have a week or two with the new players before the playoffs?
Could you rank the RTRS staff according to their basketball skills, from what you know of them (and by that I do NOT mean their knowledge of basketball history nor their willingness to murder their loved ones)?
basketball question - in the offseason, would y'all prefer to go after PG13 or make a trade for someone like Lauri/Mikal and potentially have the space to sign buddy and/or oubre
non-basketball question - given we are now seeing baggy jeans, nirvana tees, short sleeve shirts over long sleeve shirts, what 90s trend do you hope comes back and what 90s trend do you hope never comes back
What level of likeliness do you guys think it is that B-Ball Paul chose DePaul University as his college entirely because it had 'paul in the name?

Basketball: what would be more painful…. losing to Jimmy in the play-in then Boston in round 1 or winning the play in and losing to Doc in round 1.
Non basketball: rank these sensations when they are a 10/10 need
-pissing
-shitting
-🥜ing
-drinking water
What’s your ideal closing line up if everyone is healthy? I’m thinking Maxey Melton Oubre Batum Embiid.
Spike, have you heard the Varejao screen before?

Who's a nicer guy, Tobias or Mo Bamba?
Now that Spike is an Oubre guy, how important is resigning our team poet laureate, whatever the cost?

Will there be a live Ricky this year?
Why wasn't Spike at Mike's wedding ?
