| 0:00.0 | All right, we need to talk about this Joel and B thing with how he was after the game on, what was that, on Friday night, where the Sixers beat the Minnesota Timberwolves. |
| 0:10.2 | They improved to eight games, or pardon me, nine games over 500 at that time. |
| 0:15.0 | And with it, Joel talked about not being able to play Derek in the game against the Washington Wizards on Wednesday. |
| 0:22.3 | Frustrated that he could not play, he took the social media, he called out Darry |
| 0:27.3 | by name, and that one was not as bad as the James Harden thing. No. But he called him out |
| 0:34.2 | and talking about, I don't know what's going on and so on and so forth. |
| 0:55.8 | You were there. Can you take us in the locker room with it? There was a lot of reaction nationally after you put that video out there of Joel and Bede saying what he said.
