The full edition of The Christian Arcand Show from Thursday, April 16th, 2026.

We do some reflecting on the Red Sox off-day to begin the show and realize just how important this upcoming series with the Tigers is. How a good homestand could put the Sox right back into the race? Then, Red Sox writer from MassLive Sean McAdam joins the show to describe if he has concern about Garrett Crochet after his last start and the exasperated issue about the lack of power from the lineup. And, Jarren Duran should not feel bad for speaking up about his mental health, but does need to improve his reactions because unfortunately these situation may come up again.

We now know it'll once again be the Celtics and 76ers meeting in the playoffs which Arcand is more than happy with. Why does he believe Philly was the best opponent the C's could've drawn? Then, Dan Greenberg from Barstool Sports joins the show and expects Jayson Tatum to look like he always has in the postseason despite returning from his Achilles injury. And, the more time Mike Vrabel doesn't speak about the situation with Diana Russini, the more bad it looks so he needs to make a statement before the NFL Draft next week.

The third hour begins with tonight's Headlines featuring Luka Doncic and Cade Cunningham potentially hurting Jaylen Brown's award chances and how much money the Dodgers have actually spent. Then callers weight in about Mike Vrabel and a new development with Karen Read in the New England Nightly News. And, Drake Maye has been forgotten amidst this Vrabel/Russini scandal, but there shouldn't be any concern about him as we get to draft season.

The fourth hour of fun starts with the Arcand Fire featuring a wire fraud from a former college player impersonating NFL guys and producer Joe Braverman gives his thoughts on how far the Celtics and Bruins can go in the postseason. Then, another night of dongs in the MLB means its time for ano0ther installment of The Dong Report. And, we go through more numbers related to tonight's dong total.

In a baseball league full of dongs, there has to be someone to report them.

A man impersonating NFL players gets arrested on wire fraud, Blue Jackets bring back the coach that called his roster out, and reminiscing on the infamous pizza throw at Fenway Park in Arcand Fire.

We hear thoughts from callers about the Mike Vrabel-Dianai Russini situation and a new development from Karen Read in the New England Nightly News.

Jaylen Brown's chances for MVP and All-NBA First Team chances take a hit, Tiger Woods fights the subpoena in his DUI case, and much more to talk about in tonight's Headlines.

Celtics' writer from Barstool Sports Dan Greenberg joins the show and explains why he was indifferent on the C's drawing the 76ers in the first round, his confidence in Jayson Tatum looking like himself, and how the NBA is benefitting from this year's play-in games.

From all the first round opponents the Celtics could've drawn, Christian explains why he wanted the 76ers and if Philly poses any threat at all to Boston's title hopes.

MassLive Red Sox writer Sean McAdam joins the show to share his feeling about if there's something going on with Garrett Crochet, which part of the lineup is the biggest concern, and if more will come from the incident in Minnesota with Jarren Duran.

Even though its early, this upcoming four-game series for the Red Sox at Fenway against the Tigers is very important for getting out of their early season rut.
