Speaker 2: Now? I want twenty husbands, I have, I have a sworn,
Speaker 2: have a gang of outfits.
Speaker 1: You know, the princess. So what was you thinking when
Speaker 1: you created my ouse? My? Uh uh?
Speaker 3: You know it's just we need powerful people on screen
Speaker 3: like that. You know that show so inclusive and you know,
Speaker 3: everyone's represented, and it's I mean, it's like it's about
Speaker 3: the hitcher and that's and then and then it's about
Speaker 3: the sexual character in that show, which is beautiful. It's
Speaker 3: a great thing to have. Also, you know that we
Speaker 3: we just need more shows that are different and feel
Speaker 3: like that, you know. I mean, I don't know if
Speaker 3: you've seen All the Amazing Fan which is basically.
Speaker 1: Just so so good.
Speaker 3: Yes, there's an incredible soft porn out.
Speaker 1: Of South the.
Speaker 3: People getting my face.
Speaker 1: I found one.
Speaker 3: My head is black Ben tattooed on the body of
Speaker 3: a dog.
Speaker 1: But you're such a good black Beard. Oh my god.
Speaker 2: I would watch the show even if I wasn't on it,
Speaker 2: that's how good that.
Speaker 1: Show is so good.
Speaker 2: I love the relationship of black and black Beard. I
Speaker 2: just it's one of my favorite things on the show
Speaker 2: because it shows such like vulnerability and love and like
Speaker 2: a tough man finding his feelings.
Speaker 1: I think it's so important that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the show that on screen, do you know what
Speaker 2: I'm saying that tough men are supposed to have feelings too?
Speaker 2: Is like the way you found your way to love
Speaker 2: and everything. I love everything about it.
Speaker 3: You know, when you look at human beings in general.
Speaker 3: When people, yeah, when tough guys say things like, you know,
Speaker 3: let anyone get too close.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not gonna never fall in love.
Speaker 3: That's because they have a tendency to let people get
Speaker 3: too close and want to get close, and it suckers
Speaker 3: for love.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And people who're saying, oh, I can't.
Speaker 3: Get too close, that they love getting close to people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's something I've.
Speaker 1: Learned about you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's something when I first got out, I was like,
Speaker 2: he's just a big old softy and he just.
Speaker 3: Loves love and he wouldn't think it big love lover.
Speaker 2: Well, okay, including me. You had some serious cameos. Come
Speaker 2: on there, Mini driver Bronson pen Jolt Is, how you
Speaker 2: say this name is? Balki will Arnett, Fred Armisen, Like,
Speaker 2: how do you get them to come?
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean it's like I would like to
Speaker 3: think it's just me, but I think that I think that,
Speaker 3: you know, whatever the pop ularity of the show was,
Speaker 3: and like how people and people got to see some
Speaker 3: of the stuff that we'd made in the first season,
Speaker 3: I think that just was testament to the good job
Speaker 3: we were doing, and people wanted to sign on to
Speaker 3: that and you know, I think comedians follow comedians and like, yeah,
Speaker 3: we're all friends and we all like everyone. So yeah,
Speaker 3: it's a lot easier for us to get each other
Speaker 3: to convince each other. We're also massive extroversts. That's it's
Speaker 3: not that hard to get people to be in your show.
Speaker 2: Yes, now, I'm pretty sure you get this question all
Speaker 2: the time, but I'm going to ask them because you know,
Speaker 2: I'm crazy.
Speaker 1: Do you know you find as hell?
Speaker 2: I mean, you like you like one of those guys
Speaker 2: in high school that don't know that they're cute.
Speaker 3: Oh I know, and I knew then too. So the
Speaker 3: thing is, you know, I don't know if you get
Speaker 3: like you know, some of you will get this when
Speaker 3: you walk past a shiny surface like a reflection, and
Speaker 3: you catch a glimpse of yourself and you're like.
Speaker 1: Nice, is that.
Speaker 3: He's doing it?
Speaker 1: Why is he looking at me like that?
Speaker 3: I'm not going to say no.
Speaker 2: Well, people, next Goal Whiz is in the theaters now
Speaker 2: everywhere on Novem seventeenth. We're gonna take a break. Thank
Speaker 2: you Tyger for coming up. Go back to the Daily Show. Look, look,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be honest with America right now. I'm known for,
Speaker 2: you know, not sugar coating stuff, you know, and I'm
Speaker 2: pretty loud, really loud actually kind of probably known for yelling.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm loud even when I'm whispering. So I just,
Speaker 2: I just, I just and you all get it right,
Speaker 2: you know, everybody right now? You know the upset and
Speaker 2: just getting upset. Everyone's on edge. The world is falling apart.
Speaker 1: But this is what I want to do.
Speaker 2: I want to be the example to the show to
Speaker 2: show that y'all can stay calm okay.
Speaker 1: No matter what you see, you can stay calm okay.
Speaker 2: So that's why I created this new segment called Leslie
Speaker 2: Jones tries not to lose her shit. There was a
Speaker 2: time when election stories would really get me upset, but
Speaker 2: now I'm better at staying.
Speaker 1: Uh huh okay. So let's see what's going on with
Speaker 1: the election.
Speaker 4: Third party candidates could prove to have a major impact
Speaker 4: in this next presidential election. Robert F.
Speaker 5: Kennedy Junior is pulling higher than any independent or third
Speaker 5: party candidate in more than thirty years.
Speaker 6: It's not like RFK is going to win, but he
Speaker 6: could hurt Joe Biden from winning.
Speaker 1: Oh well, that's not good. But you know, it's really
Speaker 1: not good. You know, the races. The race is tight enough.
Speaker 2: As it is without some random Kennedy dude jumping in
Speaker 2: to cause all kinds of chaos.
Speaker 1: But you know what, that's democracy, Okay.
Speaker 2: Everyone got a right to run for office. And who knows,
Speaker 2: who knows this dude might actually have some good ideas.
Speaker 5: Kennedy the candidate best known for his anti vaccine advocacy
Speaker 5: and history of promoting ugly conspiracy theories.
Speaker 7: He's linked chemicals in our water supply to gender dysphoria,
Speaker 7: antidepressants to school shootings, and assisted COVID vaccines were a
Speaker 7: tool to control people via microchips. RFK Junior said last
Speaker 7: week that somehow COVID nineteen was engineered to not target
Speaker 7: Asians and Enthgnazi Jews.
Speaker 1: Jesus wept.
Speaker 8: Uh who Now that doesn't make me happy, But then again,
Speaker 8: it's a free country, okay.
Speaker 1: Everyone has the right to believe in what they believe.
Speaker 1: See see, I did it. I did it. I didn't
Speaker 1: lose my shit, Robert Kenny. I did it. I didn't
Speaker 1: lose over Robert Kennedy. I'm so proud of myself. We
Speaker 1: did it.
Speaker 2: Everybody now, is there anything else I need to know?
Speaker 5: Recent photo on a flight is sparking an age old debate.
Speaker 5: Is it ever okay to remove your shoes on a plane?
Speaker 5: Passenger's not? This photo of presidential hopeful Robert Kennedy Junior
Speaker 5: with no shoes and key point here no socks. Kenny
Speaker 5: was actually coming back from the bathroom with no shoes,
Speaker 5: no socks.
Speaker 2: I tried, y'all saw me, right, y'all all saw me,
Speaker 2: y'all sign I tried right, You witnessed me trying. Now
Speaker 2: I'm about to go in on an ass.
Speaker 1: This mother went to the he went to the playing bathroom, bathsket.
Speaker 2: This is the disturbing video I have ever seen of
Speaker 2: a Kennedy, and that includes the one where a guy's
Speaker 2: head its valves, Like, how are you the worst?
Speaker 1: Kennedy?
Speaker 2: Your uncle killed a lady by driving off a bridge.
Speaker 1: But then I see your nasty feet.
Speaker 2: And I wish I was in that car. The only
Speaker 2: reason you should come out the play bathroom barefoot is
Speaker 2: if you got robbed in there by someone who only
Speaker 2: needs socks and shoes.
Speaker 1: Eddie, he doesn't he doesn't even believe in vaccines.
Speaker 2: How far have the Kennedy's fallen JFK was.
Speaker 1: Raw dog and Marilyn Moroe.
Speaker 2: But the only thing that's Kennedy is raw dogging.
Speaker 1: It's tetanus.
Speaker 2: Why's that playing even allowed to land?
Speaker 1: Where is the Malaysian pilot when you need him? And
Speaker 1: you know what? And you know what else? You know
Speaker 1: what else?
Speaker 2: One more thing? You for stilling Larry David's wife. Okay,
Speaker 2: that didn't go well. I guess we'll try again next time.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Daily Show.
Speaker 2: My guest tonight is the most decorated track and field
Speaker 2: athlete of all time. She's also the.
Speaker 1: Co founder and president of Safe.
Speaker 2: Please welcome seven time Olympic gold medalist Allison Fixes.
Speaker 1: Oh my, now, perskyball.
Speaker 2: You already know I'm obsessed, obsessed with the Olympics.
Speaker 1: You know anything.
Speaker 2: Olympics now you I know you'd have seen all of
Speaker 2: the clips.
Speaker 6: Your commentary, it's everything top tier.
Speaker 1: I love, y'all. I love.
Speaker 2: I love giving Olympic athletes they love.
Speaker 1: I mean because you guys deserve it, Like let me
Speaker 1: let me, let me read your aw I'm gonna read
Speaker 1: your sauce.
Speaker 2: She has been in five Olympic Games from two thousand
Speaker 2: and four to twenty twenty. She has eleven Olympic medals,
Speaker 2: seven gold, three silver, one bronx.
Speaker 1: She has twenty.
Speaker 2: She has twenty World Championship medals. God, girl, Yes, that's
Speaker 2: what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: I got this question when you were in high.
Speaker 2: School and running track. Did you ever think you was
Speaker 2: going to do all of that?
Speaker 4: Not at all.
Speaker 6: Now, in high school they called me chicken legs. I
Speaker 6: was just concerned with making friends, and you know, I
Speaker 6: was like, maybe I could get a scholarship to college,
Speaker 6: and that was my big thing. But I had no
Speaker 6: idea or even really aspirations to take it this far.
Speaker 2: Really, when when did you get aspirations?
Speaker 1: Like when did it click on?
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was somewhere in the middle, towards the end
Speaker 6: of high school where I was like, oh, you know,
Speaker 6: maybe I could go to the Olympics, maybe I could
Speaker 6: make this a career. But I wanted to be an
Speaker 6: elementary school teacher, so it was.
Speaker 2: Yeah, wow, And you would have been running fast after
Speaker 2: them kids.
Speaker 4: You got back.
Speaker 2: Well, okay, now, I know this is crazy because you know,
Speaker 2: I'm going to ask this because I'm.
Speaker 1: A black girl like you.
Speaker 2: When you're running, how do you choose how to do
Speaker 2: your hair, because see, people don't know that Black women,
Speaker 2: you know, we got to put our hair in a
Speaker 2: certain way, you know, explain all of like the hairstyle.
Speaker 6: I'm a braids type of girl, and so I just
Speaker 6: don't want to be bothered. And so yeah, usually some
Speaker 6: type of braids or corn rows or something that makes
Speaker 6: it really easy so I can focus on what I
Speaker 6: have to get done.
Speaker 1: Exactly, exactly.
Speaker 2: Now, this is my big question, and this is always
Speaker 2: going to be the big question. And men, y'all don't
Speaker 2: even understand how insulting you are that you don't even
Speaker 2: understand the stuff that female athletes go through.
Speaker 1: We got to have babies, y'all want to have babies.
Speaker 1: Y'all get your wife to do it, and you ain't
Speaker 1: got to go through that.
Speaker 2: So tell this, Tell this America how it feels to
Speaker 2: have to not only be this Olympic Icon, but then
Speaker 2: turn around have a baby and then have people tell
Speaker 2: you that you can't do it after you'd had your baby.
Speaker 1: Tell us about that.
Speaker 6: I mean, it's so hard and women have been doing
Speaker 6: it forever, and the thing about it is just not
Speaker 6: being supported. You know, everyone wants the glory moment when
Speaker 6: everything is great and when you've come back and you've
Speaker 6: gone through the struggles, but they don't want to support
Speaker 6: you through that. And that's what I experience and really
Speaker 6: wanted to fight on the behalf of other mothers to
Speaker 6: say we have to do this differently. You know, we
Speaker 6: need to support every athlete holistically and that means motherhood
Speaker 6: as well.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, absolutely absolutely. Now, now, was that criticism and all
Speaker 2: of that stuff coming towards you the like the meaning
Speaker 2: of you doing your shoe your own shoe?
Speaker 4: Absolutely? You know.
Speaker 6: I parted ways with Nike over that fight for maternal protections.
Speaker 6: I was looking for another footwear sponsor and I couldn't
Speaker 6: find it, and so in talking with my brother, we
Speaker 6: just decided to do it ourselves.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 6: Yeah. We thought we were making Yeah, we thought we
Speaker 6: were making shoes that I could wear in the Olympics.
Speaker 6: But then we learned as we went down that path
Speaker 6: that shoes haven't been made for women. And what that
Speaker 6: means is a shoe was made off of a last,
Speaker 6: which is just a mold of a foot, and it's
Speaker 6: been the mold of a man's foot to make women sneakers.
Speaker 4: So we do things differently.
Speaker 6: Our shoes are built off the mold and off the
Speaker 6: function of the woman's body, and they're they're just specifically
Speaker 6: made for her.
Speaker 1: That's right, right, women looking out for women. Now, you know,
Speaker 1: I got to ask you.
Speaker 2: You know, I know you retired, but I know you
Speaker 2: got some favorites. So who should we be looking at for,
Speaker 2: you know, coming up Olympics.
Speaker 6: I mean, we have so much talent. I'm really excited
Speaker 6: about Gabby Thomas.
Speaker 4: She's doing so well.
Speaker 6: Anna Hall, and then of course you know I have
Speaker 6: to my mother's Shelley and Fraser Price.
Speaker 1: You know, Oh my god, love a man.
Speaker 4: I think this is going to be her final Olympics.
Speaker 6: That's my girl, and just excited to see what she's
Speaker 6: gonna do as well.
Speaker 2: Now now I know what Skari is. I mean, like
Speaker 2: so exciting, like exciting, exciting, right, because let me tell
Speaker 2: you I've I've gotten the chance to go to Olympics,
Speaker 2: which you guys, if you ever get a chance, I
Speaker 2: mean seriously, just to even go to one event, try
Speaker 2: to go to track and field.
Speaker 1: It will change your life.
Speaker 2: It is so beautiful to watch and it's it's out
Speaker 2: and it's green, and it's not just the running that's
Speaker 2: going on. It's the middle, the all the events in
Speaker 2: the middle. Yeah, the people throwing spears and stuff. Now,
Speaker 2: I got to see you saying bolt run and it
Speaker 2: was you guys. And I hate to say it this way,
Speaker 2: but y'all look like horses almost, like.
Speaker 1: Your legs are so strong. And these these dudes was running.
Speaker 2: I'm talking about the veins and they's like.
Speaker 1: That's what you're saying. And you're saying it was just like.
Speaker 4: Fast.
Speaker 1: Now, how do you get that fast? Is it build
Speaker 1: on legs? Is it like? What is that?
Speaker 4: I mean, it's a combination.
Speaker 6: It's definitely, you know, a god given talent, but it
Speaker 6: comes with a lot of hard work and so you
Speaker 6: get faster in the weight room, you know, all the weights,
Speaker 6: the pliometrics, all of those things, and a lot of practice,
Speaker 6: a lot of dedication.
Speaker 1: Wow, what is your favorite event to run?
Speaker 4: I love the two hundred.
Speaker 6: I always used to call it my baby, but then
Speaker 6: I had a baby and I was like, okay, I
Speaker 6: don't think I do that, But that's the perfect distance
Speaker 6: to me, really, okay, because my start isn't that's all.
Speaker 1: You have to have a good start.
Speaker 4: You have to have a good start and the four
Speaker 4: hundred is just too long.
Speaker 1: It's lack of acid.
Speaker 6: And anybody who's run a four hundred they know about that.
Speaker 6: So the tour does like the sweet spot.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I just want to ask you everything,
Speaker 2: and I have all these questions.
Speaker 1: Okay, last question.
Speaker 2: What does it feel like to be Oprah's Favorite Thing?
Speaker 4: It's so special. I feel so proud.
Speaker 6: We just launched our running shoe and so to have
Speaker 6: the Felix Runner on Oprah's Favorite Things again, it's our
Speaker 6: second time being on.

Speaker 1: You got to sell it.
Speaker 2: I want to say, as another black woman, if no
