The Afternoon Show 06-21-22

(00:00-13:56) On today’s Afternoon Show, the word of the day is “sneaky”. Tyrone talks about how important this next week is for the Philadelphia 76ers.  It is a “sneaky” important offseason.  If the 2022-23 Sixers season turns out like this past season, will Joel Embiid want to move on.  The Sixers need to get it right and make sure this upcoming season is successful and not just another second round exit.  Tom mentions that the NBA is a player driven league and Embiid might want out if he doesn’t see progress with this team.  The old school/new school topic of the day is beauty (male/female), and parents.  Is old school beauty different/better than new school? Is old school parenting better than new school parenting?  Tom and Jen weigh in with their thoughts.

(13:59-44:42) Jen introduces today’s Twitter poll.  If the Sixers screw up this offseason and have another underwhelming finish to next season, would you blame Joel Embiid if he wanted to leave the city and try and win somewhere else? Your options are Yes-Where’s The Honor and No-Sixers Failed Him.  The early leader is no, the Sixers failed him.  Tyrone, Jen and Tom give their thoughts then Tyrone heads to the phones.

(44:45-59:58) Sixers beat reporter for the Philadelphia Inquirer, Keith Pompey joins the show to talk about the Sixers draft and offseason.  He talks about his recent article about the Mikal Bridges/Zhaire Smith trade, what would make Embiid happy this offseason, Jaden Hardy, if Embiid would want to leave the team and more!

(59:59-1:18:48) Tyrone heads back to the phones and continues the old school vs new school talk.

(1:18:50-1:28:00) Jen dives into some interesting stories outside the world of sports on “What’s Brewin With Jen” to include a squirrel delaying a baseball game and a limited edition Canadian ketchup flavored popsicle.

(1:28:03-1:48:46) The crew talks more old school/new school before heading back to the phones.  Tyrone also tells a story about a Burger King employee that has worked there for 27 years and the horrible gifts he was given by the corporation.

(1:48:48-2:02:47) Former 76ers player are current analyst on NBC Sports Philadelphia, Marc Jackson joins the show.  He would love to have PJ Tucker on the Sixers but feels there are going to be suitors that can offer him more than the Sixers. He also talks about the draft, Matisse Thybulle and more!
