Woah! Justin and Pete on the same pod...together?! You heard it right, we are BACK from our two-month hiatus as co-hosts, and we're diving right into it. Sunday was unreal exciting in the NBA, we give WOJ #godstatus and delve into the Sixers moves. We look at the Jimmy Butler sign-and-trade, Josh Richardson and Al Horford's immediate impact, and how this humungous team will be able to space the floor. Then we hit on the halfway point in the MLB season and talk Phillies: where they've gone wrong,...

We have been silent for too long! Life has been hectic to say the least, but Justin found some spare time to go over the recent happenings in Flyers country and to RANT about the Phillies! What an abysmal series against the Marlins. Swept by the Marlins. That shouldn't be a thing, yet it just happened before our very eyes. Unfortunately, this recording came before Sunday's final pitch, but the mood hasn't changed, it has only worsened. Nonetheless, things need to change fast if the Phils see a p...

We are BACK again after some time off. Unfortunately, Justin was not able to join for this rendition of the pod and we missed him dearly - anticipating his return in a future episode TBD. Pete was joined by Jake Meluskey, Editorial Assistant at the Morning Call where he served as the exclusive source of Eagles draft coverage. We distracted ourselves in the days following the quad-doink by delving deep into the 2019 Eagles draft class! It was a blast talking Birds, even though Jake's heart truly ...

While it seemed like the Sixers would never get past the demon inside their heads, last week they finally beat the Celtics. Before a dreadful loss to the Hawks, Justin and Pete got together to cover the incredible week that was for Brett Brown and company, focusing on how they're primed for a playoff push (then they lost to the freakin' Hawks, SMH). We discuss the positive notes in another up-and-down streaky season for the Flyers with their playoff hopes dwindling and go over the Eagles moves o...

Pete is joined by special guest Brian Roam (who will be referred to as BEEF from here on out) for an incredibly random tangent-filled, Philadelphia lovin' interview. Beef runs the social media account, National Holiday Celebrations, which is catching the interweb by storm. In a hilariously enjoyable interview, we covered what it feels like to buy 26 gallons of milk at Walmart, life as a transplanted Philly Phan ripped away from our beloved city, Beef's run-in with Sidney Jones' cell phone at the...

Justin and Pete are back at it, predicting (or suggesting) what the starting lineup for the new look Phillies should set come opening day.

Wow, wow, wow. What a week for Philadelphia sports and the wait is over. 100+ days of agony, uncertainty and false excitement on social media. We thought he was ours, then he wasn't, then he was definitely going to LA or the Giants, and finally...he came home. We talk everything there is you need to know Bryce Harper. Break down the deal, how it went down, what he brings to this city as a player and a person, and of course we tinker with some possible Opening Day lineups! Be sure to subscribe to...

Two for two, holy smokes! After our post-Eagle depression hiatus, we're back with our second episode in two days! Once again, missing Justin more than you could imagine and we recognize him in an Ode to the Co-Host (1:39). Don't fret, he'll be back next week. Hopping back on that positive train. We were incredibly lucky to have our very first guest interview with Ryan Haase, co-host on the podcast The Phifth Quarter. Haase and I talk about every aspect of every move the Sixers made over the past...

EB is making moves. Following the loss at home yet again to the Raptors, Elton Brand said enough is enough and completed a blockbuster trade. Giving up three players and four picks for a fourth star is a risky trade. Especially when said star could opt to walk away as an unrestricted free agent at the end of the year. But either way, Tobias Harris is now a Sixer. And goodbye Landry :( Pete flies solo as he reflects on the positive and negatives of the trade, how it impacts the team this season, ...

We aren't exactly certain who the Philadelphia Eagles are and what team we are watching, but Sunday night's loss to the less than stellar Cowboys is another ding in a far from perfect season. We cover Al Michaels and Peter King's failure to understand the phan's role in Philadelphia sports and vice versa, go over our initial thoughts on what went wrong in this game and the season as a whole and discuss why Chris Collinsworth belongs headfirst in the toilet. We'll cover the game in depth tomorrow...
