Bing Bong! The Sixers beat the Knicks again, even with a subpar first half from Joel Embiid in James Harden's first game at home for the Sixers. We discuss the two stars, and the emergence of the third star, Tyrese Maxey. We also discuss the Shake/Furk quiet tournament, and the upcoming signing of DeAndre Jordan. We then talk about Nik Stauskas' 57 point game, and whether Ben Simmons will play this season.

We discuss the first game of the Harden era, his play, and how all of the pieces fit and will continue to fit around him and Embiid. After a brief argument, Spike and Mike move on to the rumors that Joel Embiid wanted the Sixers to trade for Bradley Beal instead of Harden, that Tyrese Haliburton thought he'd be a Sixer, the teams we'd least like to face in the playoffs, and the right way to use toilet paper.

On the very same day, almost the very same time, James Harden spoke to the Philadelphia media, and Ben Simmons spoke for the first time since Game 7. We talk about what both players said, and the reaction nationally to the Simmons press conference. We lead off with the Sixers nearly 50 point loss to the Celtics, as Spike tries to convince Mike to ignore it. Also, some snack talk and sex music talk.

LL Pavorsky Jewelers is where Rights To Ricky Sanchez listeners go and get engaged.

As the trade deadline heats up, so does the Harden to Philly talk. We discuss what a deal could look like, the forces at work, and if Tyrese Maxey could be included in such a deal before the deadline or in the offseason. We also discuss another dominant Joel Embiid performance against the Bulls, and take a look at the Color World metaverse from Color Star. ** The pod is now on video on Spotify!**

We talk very little about the loss to the Wizards, then Spike finally comes around on the Maxey love and we discuss how far he's come, and the idea of him being included in a star trade. Then we take a few moments to break down and roast the new ESPN inside story about Ben Simmons, and some clips from Woj and Ramona Shelborne on his podcast. We discuss the likelihood Simmons gets traded as well. Finally, Mike is confused by crypto and gives some recommendations about kitchen sponges. *The Ricky is now available on video on Spotify.*
