The First Ever 'The Homie Dario Podcast' for the Bored, Bedridden, or Insane

I was testing out some new equipment for another podcast I'm doing and decided to practice my talking skills. It's basically just me talking to myself for an hour so if you're bored, bedridden, or just plain insane, feel free to take a listen. It's not riveting. I can promise you that.

Dear Mom, It's me, Sixers


The big homie J.P. Melle dropped this response on LibertyBallers and, well, it's way better than my original post. Make sure to check him out on twitter @jp_melle. A great follow.

Damn, I got murdered on my own post...

Dear Sixers,
Hi, It's Your Mother, When Are You Getting Married?

Hi Sixers!

     It's me your mother. I'm just writing you to say "hi" and let you know I still exist. It's been a while since you've called. Maybe you got a new phone?
     Anyway, I was talking to some of my friends in the media, and the topic of marriage came up. Mrs. Lacob son, who's from the Bay Area, just got married a few months ago. Said it was an amazing time. They threw a freakin parade for them!
      So I just wanted to write and ask, "So when are you getting married?" I'm worried about you Schmoopy. Ever since you met that guy Sam (Heinke? Is that jewish? Sounds jewish) I just feel like I'm not sure when you're going to get married. It's getting harder and harder to explain to my friends, which makes me sad.  I know you'll just say, "I'll know when I know." It would just help your loving mother a lot if you could tell me a date. You do want your mother to be happy right?
      Me and your father were fine with you dating that 8th Seed for all those years. I know you said that's not what you wanted and that what you really desired was for real love and being with "Mr. Right," but have you thought about just accepting "Mr. Right Now?" Do we really need to spend all these years looking for someone special if your mother can't have something to tell her Media friends? Maybe you could date a veteran or two for a bit? He could teach some of your younger dates how to be a gentleman and other things that veterans do.
      Let me make this clear: I don't want to pressure you. I just want what's best for you! I was online on the facebook the other day and saw that you've been meeting some new guys, which is great and exciting (You can ALWAYS CALL ME and talk about them). You seem to like them young and tall! That Nerlens from Kentucky with the hair looks good. That Jameal from Duke looks promising. And poor Joel!!! What a nice boy. Please let him know your mother and your father are hoping for his recovery. We think he's an angel!!! (You're pretty than Rihanna btw. He's just in a phase).
       I know that there's a "process" in all this, and I get it. I really do. I'm just writing to wish you well and remind you that your mother has been with you since you were inside my tummy and that I'll be with you until the very end. Which could be any day now... (I was at the doctor the other day and we had to do some tests. Not sure what they were testing. But WHEN YOU CALL ME we can talk about it and I'll let you know how much longer the doctor said I have. But hurry).
       So again, just letting you know that we love you and we want what's best for you. We just think that what's best for you is telling us exactly when you're going to get married. It's been two years of trying, can't you just have all the answers right now?


                                         Love,
                                         Sixer's Mom


P.S.
Call me!!!

Have you met any Point Guards yet?

The Definitive Sixers Podcast Theme Song Power Rankings 2014-2015 Edition

Wow. What a year to be a Sixers fan.

With the season wrapped up and the draft looming, there's really only one last question on every Sixers fans mind: Which podcast had the best theme song? So we at TheHomieDario.com (really just me) have decided to end the debate once and for all so that you no longer have to think for yourselves.

We've compiled the top five Sixers centric podcasts and ranked their theme songs. Note: This has nothing to do with the actual content of the podcast or which one we think is the best (it's the Ricky btw's) but this is strictly about the theme song and theme song alone. Your podcast could be 45 minutes of Franklin Farts on loop but if that theme song is banging? Then you might find yourself winning this:



That's right, this year's first place award is The Golden Iverson for #1 Sixers Podcast Theme Song Presented by the Good Folks (really just one dude) at The Homie Dario.com

These rankings are based on a few criteria: Creativity of song. Sixers Relevance. And last but certainly not least, Does this song bang in the Prius on my way to Whole Foods?

So let's get started...

The 2014 Sixers As Run the Jewels 2 Songs

I’ve decided to assign a song from Run the Jewels 2 to each player on the Philadelphia 76ers. This is going to be one of those indie pop culture articles that like four people are going to get. That’s cool though because those four people are probably awesome and I would like to be their friend. It also gave me another excuse to listen to RTJ2, as if it wasn’t bumping constantly in the Prius already.

If you don’t know already, the Philadelphia 76ers are in the middle of a rebuild. They are really bad at basketball. I love them.

If you don’t know about EL-P and Killer Mike’s Run the Jewels 2, then you should go download it now. It’s free. It’s dope. It’ll also make you want to bodyslam anything in your way so be careful.

So here is goes. Songs in order:

1. JEOPARDY — Tony Wroten and MCW

Oh man, they really go hard on this first song. No one in the history of the world has ever said, “I’m finna bang this bitch the fuck out!” and then just rolled over and shown their bitch side.
