Chris and guest Donnovan Bennett travel back to the year 2002, where rapper Nelly was the biggest thing in music and he was preparing to go to university. Once they arrive, Donnovan spends time talking about the value of friendships and how they helped shape him into who he is today. The lesson he leaves for himself at the end is a good one!

A multi-talented host, producer, and writer, Donnovan Bennett is one of Canada’s most prominent and progressive storytellers. Renowned for his unapologetic style and multiplatform dexterity, Bennett continuously dares to challenge the status quo through influential content that intersects sports, race, politics, gender, and pop culture.
A member of the Sportsnet team since 2013, Bennett’s work has been widely recognized for its influence on cultural conversations in Canada and beyond. In addition to a Ted Rogers Business Excellence Award nomination for his work honouring the legacy of George Floyd with #Remember929, Bennett’s Ending Racism: What Will it Take? special with Cityline’s Tracy Moore won a 2021 RTDNA Canada Award. He was also named the 2021 recipient of the L.B. “Mike” Pearson Award for exemplifying the ideals and purposes of interuniversity athletics and amateur sport, and he was previously nominated for both a Gemini and Digital Publishing Award.
