It's been too long. Welcome to the rights to Ricky Sanchez podcast. I'm Spike Eskin, along

with Liberty Baller's own and America's sweetheart, Mike Levin. Mike's showing why he is America's

sweetheart. That's right. Mike, you were up late last night. I got a text from you about

430 in the morning, Eastern time. Yeah. Well, you're really on point today. Yeah. Well, as I mentioned

to Mike before we started recording, Mike's is normal sleepy morning self and I am suffering from,

are you an allergy guy? Do you get allergies like when the season came? I'm Jewish. I'm here with

Jewish Catholic. Oh, well, then I guess that that points towards me when it usually only happens to

me when the weather changes. And for some reason, it happens when it gets cold too. So it's gotten

warm and you know, but every time it happens for me, and I don't know if you're similar,

but I could never tell whether it's allergies or I'm actually sick. I'm always in that battle

whether I have a cold or something or whether I have allergies. So I can't quite tell. I just know

I didn't sleep for a while last night. At a tummy ache, you know, tummy ache, my body hurt,

it's coughing. It's pretty rough. Yeah, it was pretty rough. So it's been a while since we've

done a podcast. I have a bunch of things online to talk to, including Evan Turner ruining the

Pacers. I'm going to bask in for a little while. I actually have a hot take about the surprising

topic that has nothing to do with the Sixers, but it is an NBA hot take. We have two jigsaws.

We of course have to mourn the loss of James Nunnally. Talk about draft positioning for the Sixers

and for the Pelicans. The improved play of Michael Carter Williams. And before we get on to the first

basketball topic, I just wanted to say we had another rights to Ricky Sanchez out in public

meeting. I guess I guess you could say I was at a charity event for the Alzheimer's Association

on last Saturday night. And it was really nice like everyone's dressed up super. It was like a

masquerade ball. So everybody's dressed up super nice and they have masks like it's like eyes wide
