I'm I'm All right, welcome back to the PHLY Sixers podcast.

I'm Derek Bonner, joined once again by Kyle Newbeck.

We, it's, it does feel like it's here. It's a very distinct change in the schedule. We had Media Day today. Some of the Sixers had Media Day. We'll get to that in a second. We had to be in front of people who are not PHLY staffers, which has been a change from our past few weeks. I mean, then again, we're in front of a lot of people almost every day, but that's

virtually.

I guess that's true.

We're about to head out to Colorado. It was great to see a whole, but it's almost like you get reunions at this time of year with players and whatnot, including some with like Danny Green, who's been gone for a little while. But we're going to spend most of today's podcast probably talking about the guy who wasn't here.

I'm hanging in, Derek, you know, as much as you and I are maybe cynical about the whole hardened thing.

I'm not cynical.

Not ever.

I'm always happy, go lucky.

I was going to say, Mr. Sunshine and Rainbows over there.

Yeah, look, it was good to see mr sunshine and rainbows over there yeah look i

it was good to see a lot of people i haven't seen in a while people within the organization

players it's a new coaching staff too so it's you know this is all going to be a getting to know you

period so that part of it is fun and then you show up and prior to any interviews being done, the text went out, obviously,

to all the most connected reporters in the NBA.

20 minutes before we're going to talk to dinner.

You just got to get that out there a few minutes before we were all going to hear it anyway.

Yeah.

And now here's what I would say.
