On tonight's episode of The Gastroenteritis Blues, Emily, Dan and Steve discuss the Sixers getting blown out by the Cleveland Cavaliers and Doc Rivers; hilarious quotes from after the game. Is there anything to be learned from the contest? Should anyone be concerned with the Sixers' overall lack of concern for a loss like that?

They also discuss Embiid's game-winner over the Hawks, and James Harden's imminent return to the lineup on Monday and its ripple effects on the rest of the roster, namely guards Shake Milton and De'Anthony Melton.

They also play some three-point trivia and rank the best liquids (?) before they round out this episode with some predictions for this week's two games.

They break it down frame-by-frame.

On tonight's episode of The Gastroenteritis Blues, Steve, Emily and Dan have an extremely special guest, as Philadelphia legend Alexander Tominsky joins the podcast. Alexander recently achieved city immortality for eating a rotisserie chicken for 40 consecutive days and lived to tell the tale. He joins the pod to tell the gang what that experience was like, how it came to be, and what the fallout has been like both socially and bodily.

Also, this is a Sixers podcast! They talk about Joel Embiid's tremendous weekend, which was capped with the big man's 59 point outing versus Utah. What is our hosts' current level of optimism? They discuss a health update on James Harden, and a 'yikes!' article about former Sixer Ben Simmons as the Nets get set to head to Philadelphia.

On tonight's episode of The Gastroenteritis Blues, Steve and Dan discuss another bleh Sixers loss, this time at the hands of the Atlanta Hawks on the road. Why does this years team feel and look so utterly uninspiring? Sure, James Harden is out, but so often the team's effort and zip seems to drift and lead to performances like tonight, where they could neither get enough key stops nor score enough points to stay in the game. They talk about Joel Embiid's demeanor in the early part of this season, Tyrese Maxey's shooting struggles of late, and P.J. Tucker's workload.

Plus: they go through the article from that circled Philadelphia media this week about how Doc Rivers shoudln't be the scapegoat for the Sixers' troubles. What does the piece imply about Rivers' standing with the team? How much longer will he remain the coach? All that and some assorted thoughts on the Sixers' new uniforms and the ongoing saga in Brooklyn, as well.

On tonight's episode of The Gastroenteritis Blues, Emily and Steve begin by discussing the unfortunate news of the day: James Harden is set to miss a month's time due to a foot injury. How will Harden's injury impact the following: Joel Embiid? Doc Rivers? Tyrese Maxey? De'Anthony Melton? Kemba Walker?? Listen to find out whether or not the hosts find Harden's elongated injury to be a big problem or not.

They also discuss the week of games, where the Sixers went 3-1 and held its weight without Embiid. This week showcased to the gang Maxey's star potential (or reality) Melton and Georges Niang's value, and just how much Doc Rivers seems to loathe Paul Reed.

In the second half of the pod, they discuss the NBA's decision to dock the Sixers' two future second round picks due to improper offseason contact with P.J. Tucker and Danuel House -- a decision both hosts found to be completely random and hypocritical.

And finally, they talk about the mess going on in Brooklyn, from Kyrie Irving's devolution into antisemitism to the team's shambolic pursuit of suspended head coach Ime Udoka.

On tonight’s episode of The Gastroenteritis Blues, Steve, Dan and Drew (no Emily, sadly) discuss the Sixers’ disappointing start to the season after consecutive losses to the Celtics and Bucks.

What has contributed to Joel Embiid’s especially poor beginning to the season, and how much of a cause for concern should it be for Sixers fans? How much should fans read into Embiid’s body language and moping on the court during poor shooting efforts like Thursday night against Milwaukee as bad omens for going forward or — at the least — something the big man needs to get in order quickly.

Then, they get on to a much happier topic: James Harden. With the guard looking like his All-NBA self, the trio discusses the most heartening aspects of his first two outings on the season. Plus assorted thoughts on Tobias Harris, Tyrese Maxey, Danuel House, P.J. Tucker, Montrezl Harrell and many more.

Also covered: a vibe check on the Phillies in the NLCS and reactions to Ben Simmons’’ first game as a Brooklyn Net.

On today's episode of The Gastroenteritis Blues, the Emily and Steve discuss a plethora of media day quotes from Monday, first. James Harden says he lost "100 pounds" and our hosts are inclined to believe him! Joel Embiid is giving Ben Simmons the Voldemort treatment, everyone loves PJ Tucker, there's a glimmer of hope for Matisse Thybulle (perhaps), and the Sixers' social media team did a cute thing with 'first day of school' photos.

Then, training camp opened in South Carolina, and the hosts discuss the viral clip of Doc Rivers' sidebar conversation with Harden. What were the big takeaways? Paul Reed claims he's the only one who can guard Tyrese Maxey, folks seem bullish on Jaden Springer, and listen to hear what prompted Emily to say the following:

"I think Joel moved to the suburbs."

They discuss his new American citizenship, as well.

Finally, Drew joins the show to shepherd Steve and Emily through a Most Likely game wherein they compete in naming the Sixers' versions of Swole Batman, Skinny Batman, and Fast Batman, shoutout Darius Slay.
