After over three months, the pod is back. We talk about the Sixers expectedly shitting the bed against the Nets during Ben Simmons' return to Philadelphia, what the team's playoff ceiling is and the joys of Tyrese Maxey.

Brandon and Jesse are back. The two discuss the Sixers latest win over the Hornets and their overall apathy towards Sixers regular season games after all of the disappointing playoff exits of years past. Is it time to blow things up? Jesse might think so. Does anyone want Tobias? Who knows.

The Sixers tipped-off their 2021-22 campaign against the Pelicans to the tune of a 117-97 victory. Embiid was himself, Furkan caught fire and the bench looked very promising. We talk about the win and the latest updates in the Ben Simmons saga.  Follow us on Twitter @GarbageIntoGold!
