Welcome to Karen Hunter is awesome. I am Karen Hunter and while yes, I am awesome. This podcast is about

people and the things that they have to offer to you. I believe in speaking things into existence.

So it is with that, I offer you these amazing

people, these awesome topics. Sit back and enjoy. This brother, I feel like I'm known him forever

because he joined me during my trial run before Sirius XM actually said, you're hired. It was

August of 2014. I was an over-the-moon fan for his role on Sleepy Hollow

before that show went left. I'm not going to get into that. But he came on and we had this

conversation about guns and violence and grown up in Alabama and he shared some intimate

stories. It was the first time I was like, this man is more than just somebody I see on TV. He's got a lot of depth. I love him. His name is Orlando Jones. Hello. Hello, hello. How are you? Good to see you. It's good to be seen. And I didn't realize we've been knowing each other for eight years.

It's like, we go together.

We go together. We go together.

We really girlfriends now are a girlfriend.

But how would we do it?

I don't know.

We ain't chose pronouns, but I just know we close.

For you, and I was like, I could talk with you about everything.

Politically, there's a lot happening in the world. And you somehow are able to express yourself and still laying roles on Abbott Elementary, which I saw you're playing the father of Tyler's character.

I was like, that's perfect casting.

I know, you know, he's probably been said that he looks like you. You're to me very handsome. Please. How did you get this role? Quinticult me and was like, hey, would you, you know, it was last season. I think they were just getting off the ground. It was a pandemic. And, you know, I've known Tyler since everybody hates Chris and, you know, Ali Leroy ran that show along my friend Rodney Barnes and Allison and all those writers are over there. So yeah, I got a call from Quentin. She was like, well, you come do it? And I was like, of course. So and then I won an award for it. And then now I'm back. So that's been the trajectories, but a lot of fun.

Cheryl Ree Ralph is awesome and Tyler's awesome.

I mean, I love the show.

I love all the characters.
