Welcome to Karen Hunter is awesome. I am Karen Hunter and I'm using this space. First of all,

let me say thank you for listening. Thank you for tuning in. And I'm loving this podcast because

it's giving me an opportunity to have some conversations

that I cannot have on the radio just because of all the mechanics and the callers and the

clock. So many of you know Stephen A. Smith and I have known each other for a long time. He

actually reminded me. It was 1993. The year was 1993. I didn't realize it was that

long ago. And over the years, we have been close. We have not been close. We have always kind of

kept each other in the sites. But recently, all of this political conversation, him throwing out or

people throwing out, he might be running for president.

I was like, sir, I had to reach out to have a conversation. I was like, let's do a podcast together.

So we did. And up next is our conversation. All of the rumors have been put to rest. Breaking news

here on Karen Hunter's awesome.

Stay tuned.

You talked about us being differently minded as it relates to the game and playing and this and that.

I will never have problems with you, which are sports takes because I was sports.

It's like you and LeBron, you know, and I loved that you said that was a father that approached you.

It was. It was a parent and you understood that. I thought in response that was chef's kiss.

But politically, there's too much riding on political takes. And this is where we're going to really, you know, for me,

I find myself struggling with you because like some of your political takes are problematic

to the health and wellness of humanity.

And then you talk about running for president.

Sir, what is this?
