All right, welcome everybody. This is Derek Bonder, joined by Rich Hoffman on this week's Sixers Beat, a part of the CLNS Media Network.

How you doing, Rich?

Richard Philip Hoffman.

I don't actually know your middle name.

But I'm going to go with Philip.

You'll be Philip today.

How you doing, buddy?

What are you talking about, man?

What an intro.

The, uh, I am, uh, I am still amazed that there was an NBA trade that was agreed due

and then canceled because two guys on the team had the same last name.

That was the craziest shit I have ever seen.

So we're sitting back there.

The way post game works nowadays is they bring Brett Brown out into a press conference room.

We do that there.

And then they bring the two or three stars of the game into that press conference room.

And a lot of time there's a pretty lengthy weight in between each person. And in that time, we can go into the locker room and try to get other people on the side. So we're in that press conference room kind of just shooting the shit. And, you know, we all start, like, we're all on our phone constantly. We're all checking the mobile notifications that we get and it's like could the only real explanation of this happening is they asked for um they asked for the

player they asked for brooks and they didn't specify and then we're walking back to the press room

uh the work room and the woe came out, and it was the craziest.

And we specifically as Sixers reporters, but NBA fans have seen a lot of crazy shit over the years.

That was one I've never seen before.

That was one I don't think I'll ever see before.
