What's that? The Sixers are fun to watch? They absolutely are! That's why we brought onto the show this week Josh Wilson from TheSixerSense.com. We discussed the Sixers culture change, Joel Embiid's impact, the future of Ben Simmons, and much more.
But first, on the Brief News & Views segment:
1. Does Villanova's ranking really mean that much? (5:10)
2. Shayne Gostisbehere's second healthy scratch this past weekend. (10:55)
3. If there's one Philly sports player you wish lasted just a little bit longer with the team, who would it be? (20:20)

Our Listener Feedback this week focused on the FIFA World Cup and it's soon-to-be expansion of teams, an Eagles hypothetical and whether or not the Phillies could be a .500+ team this year. (31:30)
Then what we're throwing down on the Table is a great interview with writer and contributor at The Sixer Sense, Josh Wilson. We discussed Joel Embiid's impact on the team so early in his rookie season and what it has meant to the overall culture in the locker room and on the court. Is T.J. McConnell earning a secured spot for the future? We also went in-depth about head coach Brett Brown, his style and his own job security. While the team is finally fun to watch, another superstar will be joining the team soon enough. Ben Simmons and his future impact was a topic we dove into as well, plus much, much more. (46:05)
