    So far up their own buttholes
    It’s staggering the stuff they say about the rest of the NBA while hammering non-Philly media about misunderstanding the Sixers.

    I remember first listening to RTRS after Paul Harvey on NPR in the early 80s. The Bobby Jones discussions and tangents into Dallas Green and the Vets turf were pure gold. Looking forward to all the forthcoming years, especially the Maxey HOF pod. (Side note: James Naismith had the worst winning percentage in KU basketball history, after inventing the game? How is this not discussed more? Worth its own pod?) Thanks to Spike and Mike, CJ and others.

    Al Horford
    I’m a Celtics fan. I loathe James Harden’s game. This podcast was a honeypot of schadenfreude for me. I came to really enjoy and empathize with Spike & Mike’s perspective. Now that Harden is gone, I wish them luck. They’ve always been wrong about Al Horford tho.

    Wish this was a Phillies podcast instead
    This podcast is my favorite podcast about a sports team I barely like anymore. If they feel like slowly transitioning to a Phillies podcast that’s cool with me.
  • Brian5259
    Maybe start a Knicks pod spike
    5 stars for Mike, 0 for Spike. Round up to 3 stars

    We were right yall
    💍🃏 even when it went wrong all along we were right
  • C-Slim
    Spike
    Literally a lovely showcasing of entitlement and nepotism wrapped up into one incredibly loud and almost always incoherent with his contradictory takes. Flip flops worse than a fish on land and he’s in love with hearing himself talk. Sickening to the body to suffer through this abortion
  • Paul from Ventnor
    We Were Right Y’all?
    Were we right? We still don’t know. What I do know though, is Mike nailed it on the last pod with the comment about having a knife to his throat! We can’t be taunted. This is the best NBA pod out there. #saythename
  • Larry is bad
    Best sports podcast ever?
    Here’s a jigsaw: every time you orgasm you whisper “I’m a little wiggly piggly piggy oink oink oink” into your partners ear. Or Brian Colangelo lives under your bed and you have to feed him bread crusts twice a day or he climbs out and licks your toes while your sleeping.

    The Only Sixers Pod you need
    And the only basketball podcast out there in which you’ll hear the word ouroboros. Keep up the good work guys.
  • Either or anon
    Dedmon is back!
    Sometimes I feel like I’m the only one who remembers that Spike had a Powerman 5000 drop for Dewayne Dedmon.
  • Don't worry about my name Dawg
    8 too many ads
    Spike must not listen to podcasts to understand how terrible having so many ads are for the listening experience. I’d pay $5 a month to just hear the pod with no ads. Catch y’all 2 months from now when I forget they have 13 ads a episode
  • cris70802
    Heating up
    Tune into this one folks. A couple of weeks ago they fielded a listener email asking how they manage to get along so well. Ever since then, tensions have been ratcheting up. They do it from remote locations, so if you’re looking for actual violence, go elsewhere. But if you’re looking for snide comments about who was right about Ben Simmons, this is required listening.
  • Mark from Allentown
    Great pod!
    Can’t wait for Michael Bivins to come on and talk about the Ringer’s top 100
  • Ryan11246828481828482
    Adam’s defense of Glenn Rivers
    Boy did that age like milk as I’m writing this after the disgrace that was the Lakers game on Friday. On top of the column not coming close to addressing what Glenn Rivers actually does well (which is nothing), he writes it two days ahead of what should have been an all time embarrassing loss if not for Anthony Davis missing a free throw. I wish he’d made it. Anyway, love the show and 5 stars. fire the coach immediately.
  • Sickles from Albany
    Thanks Mike and Spike
    Hands down the best sixers pod there is. Been a listener for years and continued through the ups and downs. As of 22Nov; Paul Reed HAS TO BE officially officially out the mud. There’s no way Doc can continue to play a marginally functional Montrez over Reed. 19 points on 9 attempts with 10 boards, 3 steals and 2 blocks. I’m holding you both personably responsible for getting doc to adjust.. be the change you want to see in the world! Thanks again for a great pod. Makes my day each day I listen to you guys on the way to work. Keep it up and I’ll be with you for life.

    The go to sixers podcast
    A great podcast from guys that are just like us regular sixers fans…always very candid about the team and the strengths and weaknesses..a must follow!
  • Kbraidz
    Best NBA podcast
    The best nba podcast out there. You don’t even have to be a Sixers fan to enjoy this. But if you are this is a must. Sixers are easily the most chaotic team in all of sports. And this show perfectly captures the craziness and hilarity that can only come from Philly.

    LL is the GOAT
    My now fiancé Sarah and I are both travel nurses currently on assignment in Nashville and LL made ring shopping SO easy. He took the time to work around our schedules and was available via phone when I was able to sneak out to the gym. I recommend anyone nervous about ring shopping to do it while on a treadmill for 40 minutes. LL is a great workout partner and motivator! (He probably could have fixed both Markelle and Ben, and we’d have at least a three peat championship run right now). Moral of the story is to get LL to Camden ASAP, but as long as that means he doesn’t close shop because he’s the ONLY person to buy a ring from no matter where in the country you might live.

    I could watch 24 hours of Mike’s facial expressions as he listens to Spike reading things, like a full transcription of Tobias Harris’s contract negotiation meetings.

    Denver’s “advantage”
    I hate the false narrative that Denver has some sort of “altitude advantage”. Have you looked at their fans? 90% are morbidly obese. The only altitude they need is from walking up stairs.

    Levin-Clancy '24
    Glad to see the mention of Rodney Carney (and his socks). I shook his hand at a meet and greet at the Spectrum before it got demolished. Loved Mike's paraphrased impressions of Spike's segments!

    Great obscure graphics and phrases and so comfy.

    Great show and content
    I think Spike and Michael are terrific. Always the right amount of content. They understand what they are watching and their opinions are super solid. I don’t miss any episodes and support their sponsors as well! Keep up the great work!!!!!

    No More Paddington Slander
    Great podcast about both the 76ers and the experience of being a 76ers fan, but I was troubled by Spike’s suggestion on a recent episode that listeners recommending Paddington 2 during the “underrated movies” segment was a bit. I now find myself with no choice but to go to bat for Paddington 2, a family comedy that I would put toe-to-toe with most dramas in terms of heart and thematic weight. Sure, it’s about a naïve and impossibly kind bear getting into trouble in London, but it’s got a powerful message about the immigrant experience and our shared humanity that doesn’t feel unearned or insincere. It’s also got a vibrant visual style that tries to synthesize Buster Keaton’s physical comedy with Edgar Wright’s manic editing and Wes Anderson’s ornate framing and set design. It’s mostly successful in doing so. Paddington 2 is sentimental without being cloying, a genuine warm hug of a movie, simply delightful. Or maybe this really is all just a bit. Keep up the good work and Trust the Process.
  • MSecrest
    5 stars, except Mike’s politics
    Really a great basketball podcast, except for Mike’s ignorant LA brainwashed 1984 groupthink. Keep up the basketball takes and for love of god Mike, no more woke politics please!
  • FORMER RADIO SPORTS LISTNER
    Mike please answer the questions
    Spike asked Mike who would play more, number 25 or Harden. Mike spoke for two minutes but still wouldn’t answer. He never answers questions Spike asks. We’re not going to hold it against you if you’re wrong. It’s annoying
  • Dov+
    trash
    I stopped listening when I realized I don’t like either of these people. Also, too many ads.
  • Ausomejp
    Fultz, Simmons, Maxey
    Fultz is that summer crush that you meet at camp and everything seems so great. At the end of summer, they’re family moves and you never see them again. You lament all that could’ve been. #25 is that person in college who seems to check all the boxes, but has one huge red flag. You try to look past it and date for a year or two, but at the end you just can’t see eye to eye, and you break up when you graduate. Your friends then tell you they always thought you weren’t a good fit and are excited for you to date again. Maxey is that person you meet at a friend’s dinner party after dating around in your new city. You’re shocked they’re single as they are smart, funny, and gorgeous. You quickly find out they’re even more amazing as you get to know each other more. You start spending all your time together and all of a sudden they have a toothbrush at your place. You never look back.

    Why can’t Spike just be happy?
    Just when vibes are declared “Immaculate” in Sixers land by this Pod, Spike has a hissy fit after Mike claims “it’s not radio”. The moment was so cringeworthy I actually turned it off and had to take a moment to myself to wash off the negativity. I’ve come around on Spike over the years after initially judging him a douche because of his name. No Spike you are not your Dad and you don’t have to take offense at Mike’s or anyone else’s view of sports radio and your relationships to it. Hope this spat didn’t carry over to much and that you can bury the hatchet and enjoy the good vibes in Sixers land.

    I never miss it — no matter how weird
    Last week, Daryl Morey. Incredible episode. This week, bizarre performance art in a Philadelphia accent from some guy named Tony T. If I’m laughing the whole way through the worst podcast episode they’ve put out in a year, they’re doing something right. (Ordinarily, the only downsides are Mike’s occasional episodes of psychotic optimism, and Spike’s genuinely offensive body shaming of anyone with body fat.) But I’m praising with faint damnation here. These guys know their stuff, love the team, and more often then not are genuinely funny. Sixers fans should not miss it. I never do.
