HR 1 - Rich takes it all in for his 1st time broadcasting from Fenway

In this high-energy episode of WEEI Afternoons, hosts Rich, Ken, and Ted Johnson kick off their first live broadcast from Fenway Park with a lively celebration of their on-air identity, complete with a viral-worthy 'Rich, Ken, and Ted Johnson for life' chant. The trio dives into the shocking collapse of the Boston Celtics in Game 6 against the Philadelphia 76ers, dissecting their predictable one-on-one offense, poor coaching decisions, and the alarming performance of stars Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. The hosts express disbelief at the Celtics' inability to respond, with Ted Johnson calling it a 'shameful' display and Rich admitting he’s never felt this anxious about the team all season. They debate whether Tatum should play in Game 7 despite injury concerns, with some fearing a career-ending injury. The conversation shifts to the Atlanta Hawks’ historic 140-point meltdown against the Knicks, which sparked a bench-clearing brawl, and the hosts reflect on the emotional toll of humiliation in sports. They also recommend the cult film *Mandy* as a perfect post-loss mood match. The episode closes with a passionate call to action for Bruins fans to rally behind their team in Game 6, as both franchises face existential questions about their futures.
