I’ve known Bomani for about as long as I’ve been in this business and yet I never know what to expect when we catch up, beyond a great conversation. On this pod, he was candid about his adventures in sports television and insightful on a wide range of other subjects. The conversation includes, but is not limited to:

* What it’s like to host a show

* The time Bomani called me after I got fired

* What prediction on his show is Bomani most proud of?

* Sports and the crypto collapse: Why were athletes main characters?

* Why doesn’t the NBA do promos like this?

* We reflect on Bomani’s contention, “College basketball was better when Duke was the official team of White America.”

* Does America benefit from sports rivalries as proxies for ethnic conflict?

* Why did White America give up on basketball?

* Why didn’t High Noon totally work and why was Bomani open about that reality?

* What it’s like to perform your friendship for an audience when things aren’t working

* Bomani’s thoughts on Skip Bayless vs. Shannon Sharpe

* Bomani’s thoughts on his (perhaps) imitators

* Is Chat GPT-style technology going to replace musicians?

* Can the human love for music be wholly gamed by robots?
