This is a good. All right. Welcome everybody to the inaugural episode of the P-H-L-Y-Sixers podcast.

I am Derek Bonder.

Join by Kyle Neubach here.

How you doing, Kyle?

Oh, you know, just missing our third person here that we've been talking about getting a cardboard cut out of.

I will be respectful on day one in line, say I'm happy to see you as well.

even if it is a miserable Sixers season that we can make this fun and we can have fun doing all this.

Am I a little bit jealous of the Eagles squad who might be covering the best Eagles team I can

remember in my lifetime? Am I jealous of the Phillies as they gear up for another Red
