Speaker 1: and it was super exciting. It's been so much fun.
Speaker 1: But I do want to acknowledge something really quickly, and this,
Speaker 1: this is completely true. After the show aired, there were
Speaker 1: a number of people on social media who said they
Speaker 1: were sad because quote, it's not just me and Trevor anymore. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I felt that, and I just wanted to say
Speaker 1: to all of those people, Yes, what we had was special.
Speaker 1: We had two very good years together and I will
Speaker 1: always treasure that. I really will. I'll treasure that in
Speaker 1: my heart but but ultimately, I just I needed to
Speaker 1: see other people, a lot of other people, you know,
Speaker 1: and and please remember this, Please remember this, Please remember
Speaker 1: we still have our thing. Okay, there's just gonna be
Speaker 1: a lot of people watching while we do it. Okay, Anyway,
Speaker 1: we have a really good show tonight. Our guest led
Speaker 1: South Carolina women's basketball to the championship. And she's a
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer and she's a gold medalist. Don't slayle
Speaker 1: is here, everybody. That's gonna be a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: I hope she can help me up in my game.
Speaker 1: But fun. Let's do it. Let's shop into today's headlines.
Speaker 1: All right, let's kick things off with some big economic
Speaker 1: news about inflation. You know, inflation, the reason your grandfather
Speaker 1: is always bragging about. I paid seven stands for a movie.
Speaker 1: Check it in nine h seven, eh Joe, And there
Speaker 1: was a porno movie. Yeah, back in my day. You
Speaker 1: have to see them in the theaters. Yeah, you couldn't
Speaker 1: just pull them up on pub hub like you kids do.
Speaker 1: You have to remember the shade and go home and
Speaker 1: try and recreate the failing. Sometimes you see a friend
Speaker 1: on the way home and you'd have to be like
Speaker 1: Jerry stopped talking. I'm trying to remember the bulbs. And
Speaker 1: then I'd finally get home and your grandmother would say,
Speaker 1: were you at one of those movies again? And I'll say,
Speaker 1: shut up, Cheryl, I'm trying to remember those bulbs. And
Speaker 1: then finally I got to yank my crank and it
Speaker 1: will be bubs and Jerry and your grandmother and my head.
Speaker 1: And the point is things cost a lot less back then.
Speaker 1: So yes, inflation, it's getting worse and it's affecting everything.
Speaker 1: The break news this morning. The US Labor Department out
Speaker 1: with new inflation numbers this morning. They're high, the highest
Speaker 1: inflation in fact rate in the US in more than
Speaker 1: forty years. When you look at the sectors, it is gas,
Speaker 1: it is shelter, it is food, it is used cars.
Speaker 1: These are numbers that year over year have had big,
Speaker 1: big increases in prices. This is a situation where just
Speaker 1: about everything is going up. Eight and a half percent
Speaker 1: inflation increased year over year. That's a strong, strong number,
Speaker 1: the highest since December one, when Raiders of the Lost
Speaker 1: Arc was number one at the box office, Ronald Reagan
Speaker 1: was president and unemployment was pushing ten Seriously, this inflation
Speaker 1: is taking us back to one I don't want to
Speaker 1: go back to. First of all, there's no WiFi. Secondly,
Speaker 1: I could never pull off a Jerry Coode people. Actually, actually,
Speaker 1: I take that back. I take that back. Yeah, maybe
Speaker 1: I can. It doesn't look bad. It look sonic. You
Speaker 1: call me baby. Yeah, we're doing this. But yeah, people,
Speaker 1: because the economy opened up suddenly and the government gave
Speaker 1: everyone money, everyone is spending again. But the supply chain issues,
Speaker 1: so there's not enough products for the people to buy,
Speaker 1: and that drives the prices up. And then on top
Speaker 1: of that, Vladimir Putin decided that, oh and I would
Speaker 1: be a nice time to airbnb Eastern Ukraine by force
Speaker 1: raising oil prices, which makes everything more expensive. And that's
Speaker 1: what's happening. It's gonna happen to all of us. And
Speaker 1: so because of all of that, inflation is rising faster
Speaker 1: or higher than the price of bitcoin, you know, which
Speaker 1: is sorry, wait, no, no bitcoins down again? Sorry, my bad,
Speaker 1: I know that. Even all that, so bait, wait, oh
Speaker 1: it's up again. It's up again. It's the future, all right,
Speaker 1: it's the future. So the point is it, Wait, it's
Speaker 1: down again, which which is it a scam boys, that
Speaker 1: the future guys. The point is everything has gotten expensive,
Speaker 1: so expensive that even bed buffing beyond coupons are starting
Speaker 1: to get old cocky with us. Well wow, wow, who's
Speaker 1: the junk man now? Used to throw me away? I
Speaker 1: guess my off isn't clogging up your mail box anymore,
Speaker 1: is it? Mother? Yeah, here's the thing, man, Inflation is
Speaker 1: bad for everybody, all right. It doesn't just hurt your wallets.
Speaker 1: It makes life harder for people, and it makes you
Speaker 1: feel crazy, you know, because you'll be in the store
Speaker 1: and you'll be like, yesterday, this avocado was three dollars,
Speaker 1: now it's six. Are you gas lighting me of a cardo?
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on to someone who is definitely
Speaker 1: not affected by inflation. Elon Musk, billionaire businessman and proud
Speaker 1: African American. One of Musk's favorite things to do is
Speaker 1: get high and post truly memes on Twitter, but recently
Speaker 1: he transformed himself into the most powerful Twitter troll of
Speaker 1: all time. You see, Musk recently bought enough stock to
Speaker 1: make him the company's largest shareholder. Yeah, and apparently he
Speaker 1: was supposed to join the board of directors as well,
Speaker 1: But now for some reason, there's been a change of
Speaker 1: plans Elon Musk deciding not to join Twitter's board of directors.
Speaker 1: That's according to Twitter CEO. But even as an outsider,
Speaker 1: Musk may still be able to influence the company. His
Speaker 1: decision means he's no longer limited to owning just about
Speaker 1: fift of Twitter. That would have been a condition if
Speaker 1: he had joined the board. Now some manalist suggesting he
Speaker 1: could bolster his stake and eventually established control of the company. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right. Elon Musk has his sights set on Twitter
Speaker 1: and whether or not he decides to take it over.
Speaker 1: You do realize he is still the largest shareholder, which
Speaker 1: means Twitter is his baby. Now. Yeah, that means any
Speaker 1: minutes he's gonna rename it's t w Ampers. And look,
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people don't like Elon Musk.
Speaker 1: They think he's controversial, all these things. I will say
Speaker 1: this man, One thing you have to admit is that
Speaker 1: he makes being a billionaire look fun. You know, No,
Speaker 1: it has its perks. Elon was annoyed by Twitter, and
Speaker 1: so what do you do he bought it? Yeah, tell me,
Speaker 1: we all wish we didn't have that power. Huh. Imagine
Speaker 1: if when the airline told you that you were bumped
Speaker 1: from your flight, you can just buy the airline, as
Speaker 1: opposed to now where we just act like does anything
Speaker 1: we can do? Oh oh really the flight's overbooked. Well
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm just gonna buy another seat on
Speaker 1: a less convenient flight. Yeah, you gonna know my name?
Speaker 1: You can? Can I get my money back? First? I
Speaker 1: needed moving over to the fourteen days. I can't wait
Speaker 1: for you. Yeah yeah. Now, apparently one of the things
Speaker 1: Elon wants to change about Twitter is he wants to
Speaker 1: stop the censorship of conservative voices, and there's even speculation
Speaker 1: that he could force Twitter to let Donald Trump back
Speaker 1: onto the platform. Yeah, oh, you guys don't like Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: I didn't make a note of that, all right, And
Speaker 1: you have to admit getting Trump back on Twitter would
Speaker 1: be weird, guys. I mean, he thinks about he's soul behind.
Speaker 1: He's got like a whole year of heart takes that
Speaker 1: he saved that he's gonna come back on the planet with.
Speaker 1: Apparently there's a big ship stuck in the Suez Canal.
Speaker 1: What a loser. I like ships that don't get stuck
Speaker 1: fresh take all right, But let's move on to another
Speaker 1: global problem, COVID nineteen. Here in America, life has pretty
Speaker 1: much returned to normal as cases have fallen drastically around
Speaker 1: the country. You know, you don't even have to cancel
Speaker 1: plans as a safety precaution anymore. You can just go
Speaker 1: back to canceling plans because you don't actually like any
Speaker 1: of your friends. But but in parts of China right now,
Speaker 1: COVID is actually infecting more people than ever before, and
Speaker 1: in Shanghai, one of the most populous cities in the country,
Speaker 1: Chinese authorities are taking some of the most extreme measures
Speaker 1: you've ever seen to try and keep COVID under control.
Speaker 1: China's biggest city, Shanghai, remains eerily empty, twenty six million
Speaker 1: people under a massive COVID lockdown, relying on government deliveries
Speaker 1: and anger is sorry social media showing videos of protests
Speaker 1: over food and medicine. A supermarket ransacked at a building
Speaker 1: where residents have been locked down for two weeks. They shall,
Speaker 1: we only want supplies. Why are you beating people? Some
Speaker 1: citizens in the authoritarian nation are losing it. Define the
Speaker 1: lockdown by screaming from their apartment windows into the nine.
Speaker 1: It's straight out of a dystopian sci fi movie. Some
Speaker 1: people are yelling out, we're starving at night between the
Speaker 1: high rises, a drone tells people to follow COVID rules
Speaker 1: and bizarrely not to sing on their balconies. Wow. You know,
Speaker 1: every time you think you know what oppression is, China
Speaker 1: takes things to it to a whole new level. They
Speaker 1: really do. Yeah, because like everyone in the U s
Speaker 1: is like, how dare you tell me to wear a
Speaker 1: mask when I go to Walmart? And people in China like,
Speaker 1: you're allowed to go to Walmart? I mean, they even
Speaker 1: have a drone flying around telling people it's against COVID
Speaker 1: rules to sing on the balcony. That's terrifying. And also
Speaker 1: why didn't we have that drone when they were making
Speaker 1: that Imagine video. I mean, at least at least the
Speaker 1: drone is telling everyone not to sing though you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: it would be It would be way worse if it
Speaker 1: was just like targeting one guy like Mr Wong, Please
Speaker 1: you can't hit those high notes. Shut up, because I
Speaker 1: don't care what anyone says. This is insane. Yes, COVID
Speaker 1: is a serious disease. Yes we need to be careful,
Speaker 1: but if people are locked in their apartments starving. Surely
Speaker 1: that's worse, right, The solution cannot be worse than the problem.
Speaker 1: You know, it's like a pilot crashing a plane because
Speaker 1: the in flight movie was terrible. Oh no worry, folks,
Speaker 1: morbus can't hurt you in the afterlife. Thank you so
Speaker 1: much for flying and people. I don't want to make
Speaker 1: anyone panic. I really don't, really don't. But have you
Speaker 1: ever wondered why China has the most extreme reactions to
Speaker 1: COVID in the world. Like I just found myself wondering this.
Speaker 1: Every country in the world, every other country is now like,
Speaker 1: it's time to move on. Let's say we're done, COVID
Speaker 1: has finished, and Chinna is like, no, it is not
Speaker 1: time to move on. And yeah, that has me wondering
Speaker 1: what do they know that we don't. That's probably nothing,
Speaker 1: all right. Our final story is about self driving cause
Speaker 1: you know, someday they'll rusher in a utopian future where
Speaker 1: we can all text and drive without wiping out a
Speaker 1: family a fall over and me and our friends have
Speaker 1: already seen. But for now, smart cause are still in
Speaker 1: testing mode, and it seems like there are a few
Speaker 1: kinks that still need to be worked out, and we
Speaker 1: turned down to California and a bizarre encounter between police
Speaker 1: and a driverless car. This morning. This video going viral
Speaker 1: showing a self driving car being pulled over by police
Speaker 1: in San Francisco. The car was pulled over because it
Speaker 1: was driving at night without headlights on. At first, it
Speaker 1: looks like an ordinary traffic stop. An officer gets out
Speaker 1: of his cards speak to the driver, only to discover
Speaker 1: and then the car speeds away from the officers, passing
Speaker 1: through an intersection. Oh man, oh man, that was amazing.
Speaker 1: I'm driving this car just drove away from the cops.
Speaker 1: Those one. It's just like it just drove away. Yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe a computer, but it's got the confidence of a
Speaker 1: white person. That was That was swag. I don't have
Speaker 1: the time for this officer. Send me the ticket in
Speaker 1: the mail. Now. Apparently the company who owns this car,
Speaker 1: they say it was a glitch. That's why that happens.
Speaker 1: Not supposed to do that. But I think we all
Speaker 1: know what happened here. Man, that car had weed and
Speaker 1: was freaking out. Yeah, you could see that car was like,
Speaker 1: oh shit, oh shit, act cool act cool et coo,
Speaker 1: Hello office. A ship drive drive drive drive driver, and
Speaker 1: you realize it's only gonna happen more. It's only gonna
Speaker 1: happen more as more drivingless cars become more common. This
Speaker 1: is gonna happen, which puts police in a weird position.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to be a cop in that position.
Speaker 1: Like a driving this car starts acting up. What do
Speaker 1: you do? Do you taste it? That's gonna charge The
Speaker 1: battery makes things worse. And this is how you know
Speaker 1: the robot takeover is inevitable. People, the autonomous cars are
Speaker 1: already disrespecting human authority figures. Just get ready. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: starts with them driving away from cops. Next thing is
Speaker 1: gonna be usk in out houses. You're gonna say something
Speaker 1: to Alexa and she's gonna be like, play your own music, bitch.
Speaker 1: This is the future we've been waiting for. People. If
Speaker 1: a driving this car breaks the law, there's no one
Speaker 1: to punish it. What are you gonna do? Arrest the
Speaker 1: corporation laws don't apply to them. It's the perfect crime.
Speaker 1: You can't do anything. By the way, I heard you snort.
Speaker 1: That was amazing, all right, these are things you don't
Speaker 1: get without an audience. That was that made my read

Speaker 1: oh by way Ippy, Happy Tuesday. Don't forget to check
Speaker 1: out running a new special. Everybody, all right, we gotta
Speaker 1: take a quick break, but don't go away because when
Speaker 1: we come back, Royal Junior is going to expose the
Speaker 1: secret world of black classical music. You don't want to
Speaker 1: miss it because taken off, Welcome back to the daily
Speaker 1: show classical music. It's hip hop for white people, but
Speaker 1: it's actually more black than you might think. As Roywood Jr.
Speaker 1: Explains in another edition of CP Time, well hello, welcome
Speaker 1: to CEP Time, the only show that's for the culture.
Speaker 1: Today we'll be discussing black classical music. Now. I know
Speaker 1: you might be thinking that classical music it's just for
Speaker 1: old white men whose hair looks like they spend a
Speaker 1: day inside of a tornado. But black musicians have an
Speaker 1: often overlooked history of contributions in the classical music space.
Speaker 1: Take our first musician, George Bridge Tower born in Britain
Speaker 1: in seventy eight. George was a young musical prodigy, driven
Speaker 1: into show business by his overbearing father. The eighteenth century
Speaker 1: version of Joe Jackson, Weren't You Better? Get back in
Speaker 1: there and learn that violin. Before George was ten years old,
Speaker 1: he was performing for Kings and Princess all over Europe.
Speaker 1: One concert was even attended by Thomas Jefferson. It's rumored
Speaker 1: that Thomas Jefferson was so impressed by the talents of
Speaker 1: this mixed race baby that he was heard saying, maybe
Speaker 1: I should make one of these for myself. Rich Dower
Speaker 1: was so famous that Beethoven himself even wrote him a sonata,
Speaker 1: which they performed together in eighteen o three. On the
Speaker 1: sheet music, Beethoven wrote a dedication to George which read,
Speaker 1: and I quote Mulatto Sonata composer, the Mulatto Bridge Tower,
Speaker 1: great lunatic and Mulatto composer. Keep in mind Beethoven was
Speaker 1: famous for knowing how things sound. Another black classical musician
Speaker 1: the Ciscaretta Jones, a world famous opera singer from Providence,
Speaker 1: Rhode Island. Jones toured the world and even performed for
Speaker 1: then President Benjamin Harrison, who, like many presidents from the
Speaker 1: eighteen hundreds, also worked part time as a mall center.
Speaker 1: Despite being unable to perform and fully staged operas because
Speaker 1: of segregation, Jones was still too talented to ignore. She
Speaker 1: became the very first African American woman to headline a
Speaker 1: show at Carnegie Hall, which actually reminds me of the
Speaker 1: old joke, how do you get to Carnegie Hall? You
Speaker 1: take the cute training to fifty seven Street. It's funny
Speaker 1: because it's true. Our next musician, Roland Hayes, the first
Speaker 1: African American artist to make a commercial recording, and, judging
Speaker 1: from these photos, the first Mr Steel Your Girl. Although
Speaker 1: he's always presented raw musical talent, his career only begin
Speaker 1: because of a workplace accident. His clothes got caught in
Speaker 1: an assembly line built and it dragged him through a
Speaker 1: machine three times, nearly killing him. And while he recovered
Speaker 1: at home in a fool by the cast. It was
Speaker 1: then that Roland started taking singing seriously. Hay His career
Speaker 1: took off, and at the peak of the nineteen twenties,
Speaker 1: he was the world's highest paid singer, reportedly making around
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars a year. That's not very rich
Speaker 1: these days, but back then that made Roland basically Kanye
Speaker 1: and Drake. Roland was also the first African American concert
Speaker 1: artist to record his own record. He hired orchestras, scored
Speaker 1: the music and out Columbia studios and promoted himself as
Speaker 1: the great Negro tenor. He would even go through the
Speaker 1: phone book and if he found a name he liked,
Speaker 1: he'd call that name and try to sell them tickets,
Speaker 1: Which you mean if he didn't call you, your name
Speaker 1: was boring? What no Adam Jones is at those concerts
Speaker 1: at the ticket booth? That be people saying two tickets
Speaker 1: for Mofisto Bolonese. Please, So the next time you think
Speaker 1: of classical music, don't just think of Bach and Chopin,
Speaker 1: think of the ice stout players like Hayes. Well that's
Speaker 1: all the time we have for today. This has been
Speaker 1: CP time and I'm Roy Wood Jr. And remember well
Speaker 1: for the culture. See if I can do a little
Speaker 1: bit of what old Roland did here, pull a name
Speaker 1: at the phone book. Hello is this Charise Dumont? Yes?
Speaker 1: Can you loan me two hundred dollars? Thank you so
Speaker 1: much for that, Roy. Don't go away, people, The Daily
Speaker 1: Show will be right back after this with Hot Stayley.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Daily Show. My guest tonight is
Speaker 1: basketball Hall of Fame player and coach Don't stay she's
Speaker 1: here to talk about her legendary w NBA career and
Speaker 1: making history as head coach of the national champions South
Speaker 1: Carolina women's basketball team. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome. Don't
Speaker 1: stayle coach stay welcome to the Daily Show. Thanks for
Speaker 1: having me. This is pretty cool. This is pretty cool, right,
Speaker 1: you know. I mean it's not as many people as
Speaker 1: you are normally in front of when you're coaching. But
Speaker 1: if we would make do we make? Do you know?
Speaker 1: Actually actually some some teams only get this amount people
Speaker 1: in the stands? Yeah, yeah, we we average about twelve thousand. Oh,
Speaker 1: I mean you got you got twelve thousand. I mean, um,
Speaker 1: let's start with with the most important part of the interview.
Speaker 1: Congratulations first of all, champions, Thank you. Um. I'd love
Speaker 1: to know which victory is sweeter, because the first time
Speaker 1: is like, wow, we did it. The second time it's
Speaker 1: like you said, we couldn't do it, but we did it, right.
Speaker 1: I think the second time is sweeter only because the
Speaker 1: first time that we that we won, we didn't play
Speaker 1: against Yukon, and Yukon is considered, you know, the very
Speaker 1: best tradition, their history and all of that, so it
Speaker 1: wasn't really validated in seventeen, but this year we got
Speaker 1: a chance to play them and and it felt great
Speaker 1: beating them. How do you control your urge to be
Speaker 1: frustrated because you are a gold medal winner, you are
Speaker 1: Hall of Family, You've done it at the highest level,
Speaker 1: like shooting at a moment where you're like, give me
Speaker 1: the ball, I'll shoot you. What I'm telling you, like,
Speaker 1: how do you not do that? Because I actually do it.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's the thing. It's just like, you know,
Speaker 1: I got a dog, Champ. His name is Champ right
Speaker 1: named after named after our seventeen team. Um, so Champ.
Speaker 1: I wasn't a dog, like, I'm not really a dog person.
Speaker 1: I'm a Champ person. So yeah, so I I trained
Speaker 1: Champ like I tell him when something is good and
Speaker 1: I give him, you know, great, good job, good job,
Speaker 1: my god. And then if he does something bad, party
Speaker 1: in the house. No, no party in the house. No.
Speaker 1: So you you have to flow with what's happening. Now
Speaker 1: he doesn't party in the house. He's made it to
Speaker 1: my bed, Like we get our best sleep when he's
Speaker 1: in the bed next to me. So it's the same.
Speaker 1: I don't mean I don't mean to just say, you know,
Speaker 1: training people is like training my No, But I just
Speaker 1: your mentality is what you're saying, the way you have
Speaker 1: to approach what you're trying to do. I understand it
Speaker 1: highs and lows. Like like if one of our players,
Speaker 1: if she does something that's that's terrible, I'm saying that's terrible, Like,
Speaker 1: that's really terrible. But if they if they do something great,
Speaker 1: I'm chest bumping, I'm pumping, I'm I give it. It's
Speaker 1: emotion that's needed. I love that. You know, you don't
Speaker 1: just inspire your players, though, you have become a motivational
Speaker 1: force within the sport as a whole. I mean, first
Speaker 1: of all, congratulations on the contract renewal. Right, that's like
Speaker 1: one of the biggest deals ever. M What I what
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed about it is you didn't just push
Speaker 1: for your contract. You said, I want this deal to
Speaker 1: be negotiated through my lawyers because I want to set
Speaker 1: a precedent so that female coaches are the same as
Speaker 1: the male coaches who also kicking ass in the sport.
Speaker 1: And it was really amazing that you did that because
Speaker 1: you look beyond yourself. I want to know why you
Speaker 1: felt it was that important to do it the way
Speaker 1: because some people just go, I've got the money, thank
Speaker 1: you very much. You said, no, I want to make
Speaker 1: sure that everyone in this position gets the money they deserve.
Speaker 1: So just to be clear, I was actually making a
Speaker 1: lot of money before the contract. But timing, timing is everything,
Speaker 1: Like I thought the time was right for me to
Speaker 1: ask for it. One was last year at the n
Speaker 1: C Double A Tournament. Um, we saw there was a
Speaker 1: lot of inequities, um in the women's game and the
Speaker 1: men's game, Like we didn't get the same things are
Speaker 1: student athletes didn't get the same things as the men's
Speaker 1: tournament student athletes got. So I'm out there on the
Speaker 1: national level, I'm writing letters saying this has got to change. Right.
Speaker 1: So I get home and I'm just like I'm out
Speaker 1: here nationally asking for things to change when they're not
Speaker 1: either there there worse here at our university. So I thought,
Speaker 1: with our success that it was the best time to
Speaker 1: ask for it. And it wasn't really for me, It
Speaker 1: was more for other coaches who who just equal pay
Speaker 1: is a law. I think everybody knows that, right, it's
Speaker 1: a law, Like it's a law, um, But but it's
Speaker 1: not just for sports, but other professions like women. Again,
Speaker 1: women have been fighting for this for the longest. And
Speaker 1: you know, if we do the same work and we're
Speaker 1: as successful, I mean, what's what's what's the difference? Right?
Speaker 1: I love that. I love that you pushed for that.
Speaker 1: I love that you set a presson from the sports,
Speaker 1: and I love that you're doing your thing. You know,
Speaker 1: people love your style on the court. They go like,
Speaker 1: like you you you'll you'll put together outfits that people love,
Speaker 1: you know, you know, I remember there's that letterman jacket
Speaker 1: that you had, and you had like the Louis Va
Speaker 1: tons and people were like, this is the most stylish
Speaker 1: coach and she's winning. At the same time, you you
Speaker 1: you advocate for other women in the industry. And what
Speaker 1: I love is that you you you proudly advocate for
Speaker 1: black people to succeed within the sport. You do something
Speaker 1: that's really special with with the nets that I really loved,
Speaker 1: and everyone cuts that championship nets and and they've got to.
Speaker 1: But what you do with this really special help If
Speaker 1: you don't mind, would you share there with everyone? I
Speaker 1: will well in UM in two thousand and seventeen, UM
Speaker 1: the first black coach that won a national championship. Her
Speaker 1: name is Carolyn peck Uh. Probably two years before we won,
Speaker 1: she gave me a piece of her nineteen nine championship
Speaker 1: net and she said, I want you to hold this
Speaker 1: until you win your national championship, and then I want
Speaker 1: you to return it. And then I was able to
Speaker 1: do that two years later, which was two thousand and seventeen,
Speaker 1: and then she said, now I want you to go
Speaker 1: find the next coach that you give your piece of
Speaker 1: the net too. And it took about two years for
Speaker 1: me to find the right coach, and then finally I
Speaker 1: was I was actually just talking talking with a reporter
Speaker 1: and he asked me who am I gonna give it to?
Speaker 1: And I hadn't and I was like, okay, well this
Speaker 1: is what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna give it to
Speaker 1: every black female Division one coach because they're looking at
Speaker 1: me and and and and dreaming of what I just
Speaker 1: accomplished by winning the national championship. And I I bestowed
Speaker 1: that on them just to give them a ray of hope. Now,
Speaker 1: I don't think all of them will win a national championship,
Speaker 1: and the national championship is is um coaching the first
Speaker 1: generation college graduate. That's a that's a national championship in
Speaker 1: some people's eyes. Or or if they're having a hard day,
Speaker 1: just touched that piece of Nightline to give them the
Speaker 1: hope and the push to get through a hard day.
Speaker 1: Um now not yeah, yeah, now, no, we want another
Speaker 1: national championship. So what I've promised is to give them
Speaker 1: to black men because their instinct and our and our
Speaker 1: and our sport. And also a black journalist because we
Speaker 1: need we need black journalists in the room to give
Speaker 1: a different perspective. Doesn't mean it's right or wrong, it's
Speaker 1: just a different perspective when we can world. That's why
Speaker 1: you're the coach. Thank you so much for joinning on
