(0:00-8:52)

We take another look at the situation surrounding Joel Embiid, particularly focusing on the mystery of who may have leaked details about a team meeting to the media.

(8:52-19:52)

Embiid has stated that he will not advocate for his return to the court, which is not unexpected; however, it is surprising to hear him express uncertainty about how the 76ers view his comeback. Ricky suggests that Embiid is likely finished with attempts to play until he feels physically prepared to do so.

(19:52-31:23)

Meanwhile, Bill was listening to the Kincade and Salciunas show when a comment regarding the Eagles' offense for the 2025 season caught his attention so intensely that he nearly had to pull over while driving.

(31:23-41:09)

We present the conclusive results of the Twitter poll along with our final insights regarding Kyle Schwarber's upcoming free agency.

Sylvana kicks off the hour with her "Give Me More At 4" segment, where she delves into the latest stories surrounding AJ Brown, Jalen Hurts, and Pete Alonso.

(10:53-20:23)

In relation to the ongoing narrative about Kyle Schwarber's potential re-signing, Ricky notes that Schwarber has positioned himself well to secure a salary increase in his upcoming contract negotiations.

(20:23-30:52)

If the Phillies decide to offer Schwarber a substantial contract, Bill believes it may hinder their ability to re-sign both JT Realmuto and Ranger Suarez. This raises questions about whether the team needs to reassess its financial strategy to ensure they can build a competitive roster around Zack Wheeler.

(30:52-39:55)

The ABS system was implemented during the All-Star game, and we share our thoughts on its application, which left a positive impression.

We respond to the remarks made by former Eagles safety Chauncey Gardner-Johnson Jr. during his appearance on Ryan Clark's The Pivot Podcast, where he discusses his perspective on the reasons behind the Eagles' decision to trade him to the Texans.

(10:59-19:36)

In addition, we reflect on an article featuring Joel Embiid's interview with ESPN, particularly focusing on a significant incident from last season involving a leak within the 76ers organization. This leak pertained to a team meeting where Tyrese Maxey confronted Joel, raising questions about internal dynamics.

(19:36-30:57)

As we delve into the potential identity of the leak, our discussion is enriched by contributions from the text line, where listeners share their theories.

(30:57-39:40)

Lastly, we provide an update on the ongoing Twitter poll, with Ricky expressing his belief that Kyle Schwarber stands out as the most valuable player on the Phillies roster.

Kyle Schwarber triumphed in the Home Run swing-off for the National League during last night's All-Star Game, prompting us to reflect on the thrilling match. Ricky expressed his approval of the decision to implement the swing-off, recalling the disappointment of the 2002 game that ended in a tie.

(10:34-19:01)

We also launched a Twitter poll to gauge fan sentiment on whether they would be willing to invest significantly in retaining Schwarber, who is set to enter free agency. Additionally, we played a clip of Schwarber discussing his thoughts on free agency earlier this year.

(19:01-30:45)

As we consider the Phillies' roster, we question whether they can afford to lose catcher JT Realmuto, especially since there appears to be no suitable replacement in the farm system, making it imperative for them to re-sign him.

(30:45-39:21)

The discussion has sparked considerable interest among fans, so we turned to the text line to see their reactions regarding Kyle Schwarber.
