First up, we’re talking Jason Kelce’s unexpected viral moment. After a young fan dropped a slur about his brother Travis Kelce, Jason gave a lesson in respect…by spiking the fan’s phone. Was it a justified reaction? We break down the story, Kelce’s response, and what this says about fan interactions in the age of social media.

In NBA news, Joel Embiid made headlines after calling out Philly columnist Marcus Hayes for a scathing article. Did Hayes cross the line, or was Embiid’s reaction overdue? We dive into what Hayes said, Embiid’s response, and why we’re all about players standing up for themselves (especially if it’s Embiid). Philly fans, you’ll want to tune in for this one!
