All right, welcome everybody.

This is Derek.

I'm joined by Rich on this week's episode of the Sixers Beat,

where we actually have current relevant news to talk about

and not something that happened a week ago.

How you doing, Rich?

I'm good, man.

I'm a little confused.

Not going to lie. I think there's a lot of confusion going on. I want to get to side of the way. I want to apologize if the audio quality is not what you're typically used to. If there's a bird chirping in the background or a car driving by. I have a – there's somebody sick in my house right now, and I'm trying to be respectful and not wake them up.

So I'm recording out on respectful and not wake them up.

So I'm recording out on my back porch, which don't have the greatest control over the noise in the environment.

But I will make do as I can.

This is obviously a situation where we don't want to wait too long to get a podcast out that we couldn't do one last night.

We can't really do

emergency podcasts because we both have responsibilities to write about the news that would

trigger an emergency podcast. And we have to give that our focus. But we do want to get

something up before it's, you know, before we're too far away from it. So here we are.

What a start to the Elton brand era, man.

Your podcasting outside.

Yes.

It is, the process behind this podcast is not going to be A-plus, but we will make do with

it as we can.
