In today's episode of the Sixers Beat, Rich and I discuss the Sixers wins over the Portland Trailblazers and the Washington Wizards before diving into a little discussion about the MVP race.

Enjoy the podcast. All right, welcome everybody.

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

Hey, doing, Rich?

Derek, I'm doing fine.

It's a rare Monday podcast for us, but again,

singers just keep winning. Monday podcast, it's not going to be dark at 5 p.m. anymore. I love that.

This is my favorite week of the year. I'm so much happier now that we have sprung forward.

It's actually your favorite week of the year. I get a lot more optimistic when, like, I leave the house at 6 o'clock and it's not pitch

dark.

Yeah.

I'm not going to say it's my happiest week of the year, but it is certainly a nice little

jolt in my step for sure.

And then you add in the tournament.

You add in the legal tampering period in football which i fucking love that

name you add in the playoff run gearing up or the stretch run gearing up leading into the

playoffs for the NBA it is a good time of year it's a it's a it's a happy point for me for
