On today's part of my take, we have a great guest, great interview, Jake Arietta, former Sai Young, Champion World Champion, talks all baseball. I think he'll be a guest going forward talking baseball because it was great to talk to him some cool stories We also have the opening weekend of NBA playoffs ball his life some awesome games even games that were blowouts were awesome I don't know I don't know if it's too late to say this but crowds being back. It's fun crowds are all the back. Is this the first time that the crowds have been officially back in the NBA?

It was like half Z's last year for the first round.

This is, I think, yeah.

No, you know what it's going to be?

When Toronto fans come back for NHL playoffs. Yes. At that point, we have to stop crowds back. Yes. Crowds back. We're going to talk a little kairi, who's back, and then we got a Monday reading for everyone.

Get $200 off your matchers order and two free pillows. Today is Monday, April 18th and ball is life. NBA playoffs baby. What a weekend. Great start. The game that we're all looking forward to was the bucks, excuse me, not the bucks. The Celtics and the Nets. That's the Wamp bet. Everyone's here is invested. Jake probably more so than anybody else where we'll have to take a full tin of dip if there's a Wamping. And nobody Wamp'd anybody. Really, really, it was just a great game.

It's, I'm excited to watch the rest of the series, Hank. I'm curious to know your thoughts. I know that you probably went from like being super confident to being like, oh shit, the sky is falling, to being like, oh shit, great job. I'm glad that we won that one, but still a little bit concerned. Yeah, you had a moment where it was like, this could be a very bad loss because it's held its for cruising.

So this for cruising and then Kyrie dominated in a way that you haven't seen since like he

was on the calves and it was was like this could be a very bad loss because it's held it's for cruising. So this was cruising and then Kyrie dominated in a way that you haven't seen since like he was on the calves and it was just like this is the worst.

He was talking shit before and he's backing it up.

He's hitting every single shot.

The Celtics blew a 13 point lead.

They have like they were they had to execute perfectly at the end of the game and they did

somehow and it was an unbelievable finish. So can I ask a question about Kyrie because it's gonna be the big story going into Monday? Yes. Where do you stand with him? Because from a neutral party perspective and I think PFT probably greased me. I love every second of it. At this point, it feels like it's fair play across the board. If you miss the game, Kyrie at halftime, someone called him like a bitch And he said suck my dick to a fan. He was giving and suck my dick bitch. He was giving fans the middle finger. He was giving fans the middle finger behind the head, which was a super sneaky great move. He was doing the cry face and what we'd like in sports. He was backing it all up and he was playing out of his fucking mind and at the end of the day as long as it like doesn't cross a line I think this is great for sports I think Celtics fans should boo the fuck out of them should hate him with the fire of a thousand sons and Kyrie should do everything back to them and that is what sports is all about I fully agree I mean it's like you want the villains to embrace being villain. He's embracing it.

Sort of.

Sort of.
