0:00.0	In today's episode of The Sixers Beat, Rich and I talk about Ben Simmons showing up to the Wells Fargo Center unannounced.
0:09.7	Just ridiculous.
0:11.2	What the next phase of this circus could look like and then give some of our impressions of the preseason so far, including the fact that Isaiah Joe needs to be in the rotation.

0:31.8	Enjoy the podcast. All right, welcome, everybody.

1:34.8	lead this episode off with. We'll talk about it a little bit, but nobody really cares. And
1:39.9	unfortunately, I wish I cared. Maybe we'll start caring in the regular season a little more.

1:50.7	that is the hell that we live in.
1:52.6	But other than that, Rich, how are you doing?
1:55.4	I'm good.
