Chapter 1: What health crisis did Lamar Odom face?
Chapter 2: How did Lamar Odom get sober?
Here's something I really wanted to ask you because you come off like a real genuine human being and someone who's sensitive, something that somebody who feels a lot. Okay. I don't know how you felt about this, but I always assumed that because the Lakers were like a family when you got traded to Dallas and I felt like you were heartbroken and it made me heartbroken.
Oh, I definitely was. Cause I was, you know, I've been through so much, um, you know, like you said, I'm off the court and, you know, I filmed the reality show there and I'm in season, won an award. So I came with it.
Um, but
I guess that maybe that was just me being into me too much and not really, everybody's really susceptible to trade. That's just a part of the business. You aren't into you too much. No, I'm just saying, but you know, if you, you know, take a look back and, and, and, and think, take a step back, you know, everyone's susceptible to trade right now.
As good as he is, even LeBron James right now could be traded. He's got a no-trade clause, but... You know what I'm saying? You know what I mean? But it's just like that. No, you got it.
You got it. Hey, can we talk about something that... And if you don't want to talk about it, man, we don't have to talk about it. Because this is the most unnatural thing that anybody can do is bury their child.
Yeah. Like, see, that's some of the things I went through as a Laker. Like, you know, so they were... on that journey with me. They supported you. Yeah, they did. You got a good relationship with them now?

Chapter 3: What was Lamar's relationship with Khloé Kardashian like?
Yeah, I can call Jeannie and ask her for things if I need her. Shit, I can call Jeannie too. She gave me her phone number. There you go. She looked at me like I was a weirdo. I was sitting at courtside and I met her and I said, listen, if you want me to deal with this Westbrook thing, I can deal with this for you and get his head right because I love him.
Yeah, me too. Right?
He's definitely one of my favorites. Yeah, and she looked at me like I was on glue.
Yeah.
Yeah. You were brought up by your grandparents like I was.
45.
Nice. But then it hit me like, damn, I've lived 11 years more than my mother. My mother passed away when she was 34. And she died of cancer. Yeah. The big C took out. I'm so sorry, man. It's all right. You learn. It never goes away, though. How old are your children?
My daughter is now, I said she was 14, but she just turned 15 a couple weeks ago. And my son's 11. How old are your children?
My son is, my daughter's 26, and my son is 23. And their brother that passed away, he was six months. I'm sorry, what? What happened? My child that passed away, he was six months years old. He died from SIDS.
