Summary

On today's episode of The Right Time, Bomani Jones is joined by Van Lathan, host of the Higher Learning podcast at The Ringer. The show begins with Bo asking about Van's lasso behind him that belonged to his father (1:28) before a brief conversation about Angola Prison in Louisiana (5:00). They react to the Hunter Biden interview with Channel 5 (21:35) and discuss Biden's crack use, including why he most likely got many others addicted to crack (27:11). After the break they reminisce about the life of Malcolm-Jamal Warner (30:27) and emotions that are evoked when a celebrity you loved dies (38:19). The show rounds out with Bo saying how immersed he was in Prince's death and how that was only three months after David Bowie's passing. (53:45) . . .
