32:04. Fredo.
Good show with Elle Duncan. Finally got to hear a women's perspective on Tom Brady and Giselle Bunchan situation.
The King is back!! , Pod King that is. Welcome back to you and Gabe , Bo . Another 5 star effort with this episode. I have been a listener to the Pod for over 3 years. I am continually amazed and impressed with the entertainment you provide with your sports takes, and the information you folks share regarding other topics. You and Domonique chatting it out on Fridays is very cool, but so many of the first two pods of the week where you look at of some current cultural occurrence along or sports, and the ICYHH portion are outstanding. Congratulations to you on the new ESPN deal, and looking forward to watching Game Theory on HBO once it resumes. You, Gabe and rest of crew take care.
yo where's the content. nothing for a month
45:15
LeBron haters bo get real
Bo gotta be honest, you sound like a dumb ass with that DNA testing rant. Ever been in the hospital or had surgery? They got your DNA. Shit man, you really think you could keep your DNA from the feds if they want it? You work for Disney my nigga. We lost that battle a while ago.
Another great show. Folks always lying 🤥 lol!
Bo....LL the solo GOAT?? Imma have to call cap...BIGGIE, Big Daddy Kane, NAS???? I got love for LL too.
This is a superb episode. This discussion is so valuable in context of how one sees her/himself in the world.
Bo the GOAT
Bomani is the shit
Minute 38.
Bo I hate to say this cause I respect you, but you don't have a fuckin clue what most of us are going thru trying to buy a house. You ain't been a "Real/Regular Person" for like 10 yrs man.
Bo and Fox need a show!!!
yo can we please have a Bo and Fox show!? I would listen every day

the word is "resource" to avoid incorrectness of "asset" ... i.e. human resources
