Thinking basketball podcast. My name is Ben. No, nay, I changed my mind. Today, I am playoff, Ben. That's right. Not in any, not in any podcasting sense, is that I actually get to watch the NBA playoffs.

Cody, how you doing? What an opening weekend we're here to talk about, I mean, probably at least three or four series.

I don't think we have to get into the one-eighths and things like that unless you want to celebrate the Oklahoma City Thunder getting a 71 point lead in a basketball game.

bruncheon you know one of the my wife's brothers he's like hey let's check in on the Thunder game. We turned on at halftime. And we're like, oh, so that's how this one is going.

And I was not, I mean, I was surprised to see them like doubling them at half time,
