Rich.

What do you mean you're not? You're not podcasting. You're done with me. What? Rich, it's in your contract. Well, that was unexpected.

All right.

Welcome, everybody.

Did you hit it?

Okay.

We'll see if we keep this.

Usually I hear you hit your keyboard. I didn't hear you hit your keyboard.

Welcome, everybody. This is Derek Bodner, joined by Rich Hoffman on the Sixers Beat, a part of the Athletics Podcast Network.

How you doing, Rich? You made it. I'm glad you made it. I'm happy to have you here.

go too much farther than that. They are a bad NBA team. The Sixers took care of them pretty

furkin run that was amazing, a furkin amazing run. And then they came out and controlled the Brooklyn

Nets, a much better NBA team who I'm playing, well, at least they're playing at the Brooklyn Nets

The Nets came, took the lead with an and one from Marcus Aldridge, and never looked back.

The Sixers ended the game being outscored 16 to 1 over the final 532.

It's a good point by you.

If you were going to pick a minute to lead, it would be the 48th one.
