Before Darren heads to SDFC training, he and John discuss the new stresses of international travel, plus how it relates to USA hosting the World Cup in 2026 and the Club World Cup in 2025. The guys spend a couple of minutes on a bad game in Detroit by the Padres before moving on to two very good NBA Playoffs games last night, highlighted by Kawhi Leonard's masterful performance in Denver and leading to the question of if the Clippers are becoming the team of San Diego.

Finally, the guys talk about WWE Wrestlemania taking over Las Vegas and ESPN, a topic that will be explored in more depth in the coming days.

Darren and John recap a weekend with "a lot of losing" for the San Diego teams. The Padres lost a series in Houston, and maybe Luis Arráez after a scary collision at first base, and their injuries are starting to pile up. SDFC lost a bad one in Charlotte that can partially be blamed on Adrés Reyes' terrible debut with the club. And SDSU's football team left their most die-hard fans wanting more.

But it's not all bad! The guys also discuss Fernando Tatis Jr. leading the league in WAR, their fascination with the upcoming papal conclave, and a great start to the NBA Playoffs.

Steve Sands from NBC and the Golf Channel joins Section 1904 to talk about "one of the best Masters we've ever seen" and Rory McIlroy's long journey towards winning a grand slam. Also, find out why Darren is struggling to find pants he likes, why the guys are not fretting the Padres' loss to the Cubs last night, what the hell happened at the end of the Warriors-Grizzlies play-in game, an idiotic move by the Dallas Mavericks to try and control the local media, and fun takeaways from an interview with an SDFC player.

Darren and John talk for about an hour about the white-hot San Diego Padres, led by early MVP candidate Fernando Tatis Jr. (and Darren's desire for a Tatis Cam during every game), and the start of the 2025 NBA Postseason with the play-in games happening tonight.

Listen to find out why Darren is already looking at who should be the next coach of the New York Knicks, why John thinks the Clippers are an awful lot like the Padres, why the crowds at Petco Park have us wondering about a TV deal, and why playing with joy matters.

Steve Sands from NBC and the Golf Channel was unable to join us today. We'll work on interviewing him later this week.
