Host Shannon Leigh & little bro Tyler record their first stand-alone episode of Philly Bro-Talk and there's a lot happening this week in Philly! The bold acquisitions of the Sixers, adding veteran leadership with Redick & Johnson to their uprising star squad create an excitement that overshadows the Phillies shitty season-to-date. The pair comes up with movie no one would watch, called Finding Dorial: a tale of Green-Beckham f'ing his NFL career. The pair also talks about Iverson, why he is a shining example of dedicated athleticism and how he, just like Philly fans, are universally misunderstood.
