And finally, we have another round of If You Haven't Heard stories involving weight loss products, air conditioning in the summer and a dating app based on your search history (35:28). Then Bomani listens to some voicemails about the time a fight broke out during a pickup basketball game. (45:57)

Bo still predicts Jason Kidd will end up as head coach (32:03) and Monica believes the team needs to explore the availability of Kevin Durant (40:21). They round out the show by saying that the organization is left in a great spot but there is now pressure to win in New York. (51:05)

On today's episode of The Right Time, Bomani Jones discusses the Oklahoma City Thunder winning Game 2 of the NBA Finals over the Indiana Pacers. Bo starts off the show by declaring why Tyrese Haliburton shouldn't be considered a superstar yet (1:12) but Shai Gilgeous-Alexander can certainly be the best player on a championship winning team (7:31). Bo also makes the prediction that Chet Holmgren will end up in the Hall of Fame at the end of his career (9:34). Bo moves onto criticizing the NBA Finals presentation because it just feels like a regular game - not a championship (18:55) and why ABC/ESPN needs to stop trying to sell the NBA like it's football (24:18). And finally, we have another round of If You Haven't Heard stories involving ketamine clinics, expensive bachelorette parties and what we got wrong about the universe (34:22).

Bo wraps up the show by telling us why he was the best option for the Steelers at QB this season (23:06) and if he somehow gets Mike Tomlin fired, it'll be the end of Rodgers career. (26:04)

Knicks Collapse, Caitlin Clark-Tiger Woods Comps & Angel Reese Next Steps | 5.23

Fri, 23 May 2025 11:00:00 -0000

On today’s episode of The Right Time, Elle Duncan of ESPN joins Bomani Jones to discuss The New York Knicks' collapse and the ongoing WNBA drama. The show starts with Elle describing the events she witnessed at Madison Square Garden Wednesday night by saying why she won't make fun of Knicks fans (3:14) and that every A-lister was at this game (4:35). Bo explains why he wished the Knicks won the game in overtime (5:53) and loves that Tyrese Haliburton has become a villain in New York (12:12). They switch gears to the WNBA where Bo and Elle agree that it's ok for Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark to not like each other (15:49) and that this discourse prevents the league from making any positive strides (21:34). Bo states that Caitlin Clark is a Tiger Woods-like phenomenon but the WNBA is not capitalizing on it (24:39). They transition to the news that flag football will now be an Olympic sport in 2028 (36:58), which has Bo and Elle questioning if we're really going to see Justin Jefferson vs Team Japan (40:10)? To wrap up the show, Bo and Elle have fun discussing the time she covered the Atlanta Hawks. (48:05)

Caleb Williams & Bears' Future, Cam Newton's Aura, Kobe Bryant & LeBron's Legacy | 5.21

Wed, 21 May 2025 16:00:00 -0000

On today’s episode, Jason Goff of The Ringer & Chicago Sports Network joins Bomani Jones to mainly discuss Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams. The show starts with Bo saying how people get very angry when he criticizes Scottie Pippen, who happens to be Jason's favorite all-time Chicago Bulls player (1:17). They get into Seth Wickersham's new book, American Kings: A Biography of the Quarterback, where Caleb Williams' father, Carl, says how he told the Bears not to draft him and thought about trying the UFL route instead (18:40). After the break, they continue with the Caleb Williams story comparing it to Shedeur Sanders saying if Shedeur was as good as Caleb he would've been selected higher in the 2025 NFL Draft (27:26). They round out the show by saying how incredible Cam Newton's aura was (40:16), how Bo Jackson was the best athlete Bomani has ever seen (43:32) and they joke about the outfits Ciara makes Russell Wilson wear.

NBA's Future with Knicks, Timberwolves is FUN; Angel Reese vs. Caitlin Clark Isn't | 5.19

Mon, 19 May 2025 16:00:00 -0000

On today's episode of The Right Time, Bomani Jones reacts to the NBA Conference Finals being set and the newest Caitlin Clark vs Angel Reese tussle. Bo starts off the show by saying this is the most fun outcome we could've gotten for the NBA Conference Finals because we are exiting the dynasty saga era (2:14). Bo continues to explain why we're trending towards a 1 superstar per team phase in the NBA (9:10) and why these remaining four teams still may feel incomplete (11:17). Bo transitions to the WNBA where we saw another scuffle between Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark, which prompts Bo to ask how can we enjoy the WNBA without being chronically online (27:01)? Bo declares that it's hardly ever about just basketball with the WNBA lately (27:42) and it's obvious Clark and Reese do not like each other (30:08). And finally, we have another round of If You Haven't Heard stories involving the Diddy Trial jury members, why fur is making a comeback and the United CEO pleading that Newark Airport is safe (38:30). Then Bomani listens to some voicemails about someone you knew that had brothers you wanted no problems with (47:28).

Nervous Knicks vs. Corny Celtics, Anthony Edwards' Future, Diddy on Trial | 5.16

Fri, 16 May 2025 11:00:00 -0000

Bomani Jones is joined by The Kid Mero of 7 PM in Brooklyn to discuss the New York Knicks vs Boston Celtics playoff series. Bo and Mero start off the show joking about their bodies failing them once they reached the age of 40 (0:50) and how they can't recover from injuries like they used to (2:13). Bo praises Mero for wearing a Knicks Dominican Republic version of a Karl-Anthony Towns jersey (6:30) and Mero says why KAT and Mitchell Robinson could turn into a version of Tim Duncan & David Robinson (10:26). Bo shares his doubts about the Knicks winning this series (18:14) and Mero explains why the Celtics are the corniest NBA team (23:40). They move onto the other NBA topics where they compare Anthony Edwards to an IMAX movie (33:24), why the bad commercials weren't Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's fault (37:59) and that Nikola Jokic's brothers look like henchmen from a movie (46:26). They round out the show imagining Cooper Flagg's life on Duke's campus (52:01) and the ongoing Diddy trial. (59:28)

Cooper Flagg-Mavericks Conspiracies, Celtics Future, Giannis Trades | 5.14

Wed, 14 May 2025 11:00:00 -0000

Bomani Jones is joined by Tom Haberstroh of Yahoo Sports to discuss the Jayson Tatum injury and NBA lottery results. Bo starts off the show by saying this seems like a career-altering injury for Jayson Tatum (1:17), similar to Derrick Rose, and why we never saw these types of injuries years ago (9:31). Moving onto the NBA lottery results, Bo says if you believe the NBA rigged the lottery for the Dallas Mavericks you're stupid (29:05) and if Cooper Flagg is a star or high end second option (37:27)? Bo and Tom also float the idea of Giannis Antetokounmpo being traded to Dallas for the 1st pick (38:15) and why San Antonio may make the most sense to pair him with Wemby (45:02). They round out the show by asking if the Draft Lottery actually works (58:46) and suggesting an NBA national signing day may be a better option than an NBA Draft? (1:04:36)

Knicks Might be Cooked, Jokic Struggles vs. Thunder, Shedeur Sanders' Turnaround | 5.12

Mon, 12 May 2025 16:00:00 -0000

On today's episode of The Right Time, Bomani Jones reacts to the NBA playoff semifinals and NFL rookie mini-camp beginning. Bo starts off the show by saying why the Cleveland Cavaliers can still win this series vs the Indiana Pacers despite being down 3-1 (3:08) and why there isn't any semifinals series he feels has been decided yet (8:44). Bo also predicts the Boston Celtics will win their series vs the New York Knicks after their Game 3 victory at Madison Square Garden (15:45). Bo rounds out his NBA talk by saying neither Nikola Jokic or Shai-Gilgeous Alexander have been playing like MVP candidates (26:08). Shifting gears to the NFL, Bo says why a different Shedeur Sanders showed up to Browns mini-camp (32:27) and that he will eventually start games for Cleveland this season (43:27). And finally, we have another round of If You Haven't Heard stories involving American breakfast potentially changing, what actually goes on at the Met Gala and the jury selection for the Diddy trial (44:10. Then Bomani listens to some voicemails about when a white guy shocked you on the basketball court. (51:58)

Celtics Collapse to Knicks, Steph Curry's Superpower, Nikola Jokic vs. Larry Bird | 5.9

Fri, 09 May 2025 11:00:00 -0000

On today’s episode, Vinnie Goodwill of Yahoo Sports joins Bomani Jones to recap some of the NBA Semifinals games. They start off the show shocked with the New York Knicks completing their second comeback in a row vs the Boston Celtics (0:46) which makes Bo and Vinnie question if Jayson Tatum is that guy (7:19)? Sticking with the Knicks vs Celtics series, they wonder if Joe Mazzulla is limiting Tatum's game (12:57) and why is there no alternative to shooting only 3 pointers (15:53)? Switching to the Indiana Pacers vs Cleveland Cavaliers series, Bo says why the Pacers had to have that game with the Cavs dealing with injuries (37:31) and that Tyrese Haliburton does not miss clutch shots (40:20). They round out the show by asking if the Oklahoma City Thunder are truly 40+ points better than the Denver Nuggets (46:01) and reminiscing on the legendary career of Larry Bird (48:33).

Why Donald Trump & Nick Saban can't fix NIL, Bill Belichick won't succeed at UNC | 5.7

Wed, 07 May 2025 16:00:00 -0000

On today's episode of The Right Time, Bomani Jones is joined by Spencer Hall, writer for the Channel 6 Newsletter and host of the Shutdown Fullcast, to discuss NIL legislation in College Football and Bill Belichick. But first the guys talk about why Spencer's super power is napping (2:22) and his high school classmates whose family members did time at Rikers Island (4:45). Bo and Spencer move onto the NIL problem in college after Nick Saban asked Donald Trump to fix the issue (10:45). Sticking with the NIL topic, they say why college boosters love paying top dollar for athletes (17:57) and why the NCAA will face another tough time in court (27:15). Next, Bo and Spencer break down the Bill Belichick saga by saying it's been an embarrassment so far at North Carolina (33:38) and that Belichick and GM Mike Lombardi will be learning their limitations real soon (38:07). They round out the show by making jokes about Jim Tressel enjoying Pam Grier (45:10) and why Uncle Baby Billy from Righteous Gemstones is very relatable (52:46).

James Harden & Clippers lose again, Warriors & Steph Curry to face Anthony Edwards | 5.5

Mon, 05 May 2025 16:00:00 -0000

On today's episode of The Right Time, Bomani Jones reacts to the end of the 1st round of the NBA playoffs. Bo starts off the show by saying he won't call anyone a "loser," but there is a strong correlation with James Harden and losing (2:43). Sticking with Harden, Bo says why big moments swallow him up (4:30) despite thinking he is a top 5 shooting guard of all-time (12:22). Bo transitions to previewing the 2nd round of the NBA playoffs where he says why he'd take Tyrese Haliburton over Donovan Mitchell (18:50) and why he believes the Oklahoma City Thunder will win the Western Conference (26:36). And finally, we have another round of If You Haven't Heard stories involving the demise of outdoor dining in NYC, why you've already met your best friend and why chicken breasts are now losing out to dark meat (32:44). Then Bomani listens to some voicemails about unexpected significant others showing up to a family event (42:18).

Shannon Penn joins to discuss Giannis on the move, Knicks Issues, Giants pass on Shedeur Sanders | 4.30

Wed, 30 Apr 2025 17:00:00 -0000

On today’s episode, Shannon Penn of ESPN Radio joins Bomani Jones to discuss the New York Giants Draft and the New York Knicks playoff series. The show starts off with Bo saying why he has trouble with certain people who agree with his take on Shedeur Sanders (4:21) and why he is starting to hate both of the Giants 1st round picks (9:41). Bo and Shannon explain why it's absurd for Abdul Carter to request Lawrence Taylor's #56 (12:07) and that they feel bad for Dak Prescott having to face the NFC East pass rush (20:44). Sticking with the Giants, they criticize the front office for never investing in a young, black quarterback (26:20) and say they would never draft Shedeur Sanders because they were afraid Deion would want to replace Brian Daboll as head coach (29:49). Bo and Shannon transition to the New York Knicks where they have lost yet another series clinching game at home (33:48) and if they lose this series to Detroit, Tom Thibodeau will be on the hot seat (38:40). Bo and Shannon both agree Giannis Antetokounmpo has played his last game as a member of the Milwaukee Bucks but there's no great situation he can move to next season (43:35). They round out the show discussing Outkast making the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and why they're still underrated (52:10).

Shedeur Sanders "slides" in NFL Draft, Anthony Edwards takes down Lakers | 4.28

Mon, 28 Apr 2025 16:27:00 -0000

On today's episode of The Right Time, Bomani Jones reacts to the 2025 NFL Draft and the first round of the NBA playoffs. Bo starts off the show with a deep dive on Shedeur Sanders sliding to the 5th round and why the Cleveland Browns drafted him despite already taking Dillon Gabriel (3:14). Bo proceeds to say why mock drafts are for stupid people (9:35) and that we see plenty of college players fall every year in the NFL Draft (13:20). Bo pushes back at the idea that Shedeur's situation is similar to Colin Kaepernick's (14:29) and that ultimately Deion Sanders is at fault for overplaying their hand (27:32). Next, Bomani moves onto the NBA playoffs where he says why we knew this wasn't the Los Angeles Lakers year to win it all (36:11) and that he's ready for Anthony Edwards to continue to "slay the dragon." (39:07) And finally, we have another round of If You Haven't Heard stories involving the 'worst job in America,' why robots can't make Nike's and Uber's shady practices (41:36). Then Bomani listens to some voicemails about the craziest thing you've heard playing pickup basketball (48:54).

Mon, 03 Feb 2025 20:50:11 -0000

On today's episode of The Right Time, Bomani Jones reacts to the Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis trade that rocked the NBA world.
