Ringer NBA. You know, unless you're wearing a Philly, or you're a Philly, they don't like you.

You know, and I love that.

So you're off in your life.

Yeah. It's Philly, man, they hate you.

Welcome to the Ringerers Philly special.

I am your host, Sheil Kapati, and you know what?

We said, we got to bring back the Sunday night pod this week because there's too much going on.

There is the first three games of the Phillies season.

Maybe not the most exciting opening series in baseball history. But still, we have some first impressions we had to get off our chest. And then Saturday night, Sixers, I was sexton Cliff, Sixers played, you know, one of the most entertaining games of the season. And now this kind of wacky year has taken maybe a little bit of a different turn, or maybe not. We'll get to that as well.

So that's what we're going to do today. We figured why wait until Monday? Why wait until Tuesday?

Let's just get some of these takes off our chest. So we've got our friend who's on three and a half

hours of sleep. He was in Vegas doing the ringer gambling show live out there. He took a red eye because he's got young

bones and he can do a red eye and still feel like he can function the next day, unlike people

like me. His name is Tony Bunce, Anthony Dubundow. You look great. You know, I wouldn't say you

look like you're, you don't have to lie. You're dragging. I think you look great.

I appreciate the compliment, uh, even though it doesn't feel like it. I got like the dark circles under my eyes. I haven't really slept well. I actually texted Bo, uh, mid-flight to ask if he was able to play tennis on Monday, what his schedule looks like this week. And he texted me, go to sleep. It was like 4 a.m. Eastern, 5 a.m. Eastern. So one, you know, what was Bo doing up that early? Great. That's a good question. Two, I did not sleep for more than about 10 minutes on the flight. Had a layover. It was a disaster. Great weekend in Vegas. Had a great time. But that place, man, three days there.

And it's like, please get me home as soon as possible.

I slept.
