Hey everyone, Danny Hyphitz here from the Ringer Fantasy Football Show.

We're coming to you multiple times per week to tell you who to draft, who not to draft.

Honestly, that's kind of most of it.

The Ringer Fantasy Football Show, YouTube, Spotify, wherever get your podcast, The Ringer Fantasy Football Show. Hello, media consumers.

Welcome to Pressbox.

You've got me, Joel Anderson and producer Kyle Crichton on the ones and twos.

Our fearless leader, Brian Curtis, is out this week and hopefully we'll return Monday. Let's send him and his

family some good wishes and vibes, and that's all I'll say about that until he returns. But

coming up on today's show, we've got a very special guest. If you follow sports media

at all in the past couple decades or so, we're at old. We are really that old. You say a couple

decades that covers it. You're almost certainly familiar with my good friend Bomani Jones.

Bomani is host of the thrice weekly podcast, the right time with Bobani Jones. And prior to that,

man, Bomani was one of the very few black men in American history to have his own late night TV show when he hosted two seasons of game theory with Bumani Jones and HBO.

But I figure most of our listeners are more familiar with his years at ESPN, where he was the co-host of Hally Questionable with Dan Lebertard, and then the lead host of

High Noon with his co-host Pablo Torre, and he was also one of the foundational panelists on

Around the Horn for a number of years. Some of you might know that Bimani occasionally invites

me onto the right time, mostly to mock me for his adoring fans. And I try not to hold it against

him. And my promise to him

and you, dear listener, is to be better to him on here than he is to me on there. So I'm lying.

How are you doing? I cannot believe. I cannot believe that you have the audacity.

Audacity. Just all hate him. He started out calling me a hate it before. Yeah, because you started off talking about, oh, we don't have a special shirt for us. You out here wear a Haynes shirt. I'm like, it's not Haynes, Joel, it's just white. But you started off hating. And you're like, oh, well, you know, I'm just not used to seeing you slum it off the motherfucking rip. Like, this is. I mean, you just, I mean, when I've never seen you wear a regular white t-shirt before. I'd expect it. Well, it's not a regular white t-shirt. It's a t-shirt that's white, number one. And number two, let me make sure, before we get any misunderstanding, I was, the co-host the high noon, with no, no lead. That's his own discussion for another day. But it was a co-hosting situation. We was, we went no 70-30. Wasn't talking about 60-40. It was 50-50. Oh, it's 50. Right? Just showing you a little humbleness off the top after I endured your unnecessary slings and arrows. I knew it was difficult for you to be humble. So I, you know, I was going to- No, it's actually very easy for me to be humble. The problem is when haters are around, sometimes you got to do things to like adjust. Right. Another example right there. That wouldn't even don't need for you to say that. Man, see, I was trying to give me your props, but see, that, and that's how you do me.

I'm just going to push on through it because there's a lot going on in media news today. But Monty told me, he came on. He's like, I got a hard out at 2 o'clock. I don't know what he got to do, you know. I mean, what- I have my Spanish lesson at 2 o'clock, Joe.
