Lamar Odom LEAVES interview when asked if he'd have sex with trans woman as star reveals he hates 'corny' Keeping Up With The Kardashians inspired name of his podcast with Caitlyn Jenner
Lamar Odom awkwardly left an interview when asked if he would consider having sex with a trans woman - as the star opened up about his new podcast with Caitlyn Jenner.
Former NBA star Odom, 44 - who was married to Jenner's stepdaughter Khloe Kardashian from 2009-2016 - also slammed the 'corny' name of his new podcast with Jenner, 74 during an appearance on No Jumper.
When host Adam22 asked 'do you think you'll end up giving trans women a chance due to Caitlyn being such a big part of your life?' Odom said: 'What do you mean chance?... They all have a chance.'
Adam22 responded: 'You gotta follow your heart' with Odom saying: 'This guy is crazy!' before walking out.
Odom has recently launched his Keeping Up With Sports podcast with Jenner and Zach Hirsch - with the star saying: 'It’s kind of corny because it’s like Keeping Up with the Kardashians, but it’s because it’s me and Bruce.'

The last time Caitlyn and Lamar were pictured together was at Kanye West's Yeezy Season 3 event and The Life Of Pablo listening party at Madison Square Garden in New York City back in February 2016
After referring to Jenner as 'Bruce' once again before he was swiftly corrected by Hirsch, he said the show, despite its name - would not reference the Kardashians.
He said: 'Business is business. If our business doesn't include them, then it doesn't.
'But the show is not about [The Kardashians]. You know what I mean? It's about life and sports. Combination.
'Caitlyn is an incredible host. Keeping Up With The Kardashians star, Olympic gold medalist, drafted to the NBA.
'Transformation from the most masculine of men to a woman. That's enough for me.'
The wide-ranging chat also saw Odom open up about his sex life, past drug addictions and near-death experiences.
The star said he has 'friends with benefits' and is intimate every once in a while, saying: 'I enjoy masturbation, to tell you the truth... Get up and do it. It ain't no ritual.'

The event famously was Lamar's first public outing since a nearly fatal overdose in October 2015 after being found unconscious in a Nevada brothel.

Odom has since invested in rehab centers, saying: 'I lived it. You know what I'm saying? So my heart is into it. A lot of people since 2005, s**t, have OD'd. More deaths than World War I, World War II, and Vietnam combined.
'That's a lot of people… It's crazy. Marijuana is the way to go, I would say. Marijuana is probably the healthy high, I would call it, right? The healthy alternative?'
He also heaped praise on Kanye West, saying: 'He's a boss. He's an owner. I look up to him. He's black. Right? He owns his own s**t. I f**k with him. He's a genius, as well. Probably the biggest artist that we had in my generation.”
'I haven't been around him, probably since I woke up from the coma.'
Lamar and Khloe married in 2009 after just 30 days of knowing one another.
They ultimately split in 2013, with their divorce being finalized on December 9, 2016.

Before and after announcing his retirement from professional basketball in 2014, Odom would often find himself in the news for the wrong reasons. In 2013, he was arrested for driving under the influence and was thought to have been abusing drugs.
At the time, he had also been married to Khloe for five years, since 2009, and the couple's publicized marriage was even part of a show called Khloe & Lamar in 2011 before it was cancelled a year later because it had 'worn down' the basketball star.
Two years later, in 2013, after months of speculated separation, Kardashian filed for divorce from Odom and for legal restoration of her last name.
The divorce was signed by both parties in July 2015 but did not receive final approval from a judge before being dismissed by request in October 2015, the same month that Odom was found in a comatose in a Nevada brothel after taking a deadly mix of cocaine, alcohol, and a sexual stimulant.
The ex-NBA player was hooked on life support at a Las Vegas hospital and only regained consciousness three days later. He was eventually transferred to a LA hospital and Kardashian decided to withdraw her request for divorce, citing that she wanted to support her estranged husband in making medical decisions during his recovery.

Their surprising joint venture together aims to take a 'fresh look' at what it takes to be the best in different athletic fields; they are seen in July 2012
Odom fully recuperated from the near fatal overdose three months later, in January 2016, before Kardashian filed for divorce again in May of that year. Their separation was finalized in December 2016.
Back in October Caitlyn revealed that she no longer communicates with ex-wife Kris Jenner, 68, despite 22 years of marriage and welcoming two children together; Kendall, 28, and Kylie, 26.
Upon tying the knot with Kris in 1991, Caitlyn became the stepfather of her children whom she welcomed with late attorney, Robert Kardashian: Kourtney, 44, Kim, 42, Khloe, and also Rob, 36. He notably passed away in 2003 after a battle with esophageal cancer.
Throughout the course of Caitlyn and Kris' marriage, they also welcomed daughters Kendall and Kylie. However, the former couple finalized their divorce in 2015, the same year Jenner came out as transgender.
