April 10, 2025 Bo & KO: The Sports Edition – Legends, Conspiracies, and the Wildest Moments
In Part 2 of Bulldog and Friends with Bo and KO, the conversation shifts from movies to sports, bringing big debates, bold takes, and hilarious stories. Bulldog, Bo, and KO dive into dream rosters, legendary sports moments, and the craziest conspiracy theories in the game.
KO picks Ricky Henderson as the missing piece to his ‘84 Cubs, while Bo argues that Tom Brady on the 49ers would have sealed multiple Super Bowls. They also explore which historic sports moments would make the perfect Oscar-worthy movie—from Madison Bumgarner’s postseason dominance to Derek Redmond’s emotional Olympic finish.
The hosts take on heated topics like the all-time greatest NBA starting five, sports conspiracy theories (was MJ really forced into retirement?), and what rule changes would make sports more entertaining (hint: golf needs a shot clock and the NBA should allow players to fight heckling fans).
The episode wraps up with wild personal sports stories, including KO running with the bulls in Spain, Bo’s infamous JV basketball "Bark Like a Dog" play, and Bulldog’s unforgettable encounter with a very unfortunate referee wardrobe malfunction.
This episode is a must-listen for sports fans, packed with debates, laughs, and classic Bulldog banter.

The trio debates which director’s entire filmography they would keep forever, with KO championing Stanley Kubrick’s artistry while Bo defends the versatility of Martin Scorsese. They also go to bat for terrible movies they unapologetically love, recast The Godfather with modern actors, and break down which sports films get the action most right (and hilariously wrong).
The conversation takes an entertaining turn as they imagine what a movie about The Bo and KO Show would look like, who would play them, and which classic films deserve a sequel but never got one. Expect hot takes, wild casting choices, and plenty of laughs as Bulldog, Bo, and KO bring their film-nerd energy to the table.
