Craft & Comedy with Godfrey

This Naked Sports episode with Godfrey swings from hilarious to heavy in the best way. He shares his family’s story, born in Lincoln, Nebraska, because his parents fled the Biafran War, and how that immigrant grind shaped him.

From there, he gets into why he’s a purist about craft, whether it’s comedy, boxing, or music, saying the common thread is “the love of the craft,” and reminding people it takes years to really get good. He also riffs on Jordan vs.

LeBron, and goes all-in on music history, from Michael Jackson’s “Victory Tour” to the industry’s racism, and how Black artists built the culture in this country. The real takeaway is his no-filter honesty about America: “subtract by a hundred, and you’ll know what year you’re in; it’s 1926.” We tried to wrap and tease a part two, but the story unfolded, describing a wild early New York, living with Viola Davis and his life as a podcaster.
