Straight Shooter with Stephen A.

0:15.0

What's up, everybody?

0:16.8

Welcome to the latest edition of Straight Shooter with yours truly, Stephen A. Smith coming at you as I love to do every Wednesday night from 6 to 8 p.m. over the airwaves of Sirius XM, POTUS Radio, Channel 124.

0:29.8

It is an honor and a privilege to be with you this week, and especially this week, rather especially on a night like tonight.

0:35.8
