13
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,360

00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 3: That's true. But before we go there, we want to

Speaker 3: spotlight our favorite moment of the week, brought to you

16
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 3: by our friends at BMW. Yes.

17
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: This week, we're celebrating a woman who is making history,

18
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: the incredible formidable Sophia Vergara. So Emmy nominations were announced

19
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, and Sophia scored a Lead Actress nomination for

20
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: her role in Griselda, which follows the life of cartel

21
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: boss Griselda Blanco. Now here's the thing. This nomination makes

22
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: Sophia the first Latina woman born in another country to

23
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: be nominated for lead actress in a limited series.

24
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's also the first time she spoke Spanish

25
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,839
Speaker 3: significantly in an acting role. So she took to social

26
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 3: media to acknowledge the accomplishment, writing, Wow, Griselda was my

27
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 3: first dramatic role ever and it took us fifteen years

28
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 3: to bring her to life. I'm incredibly grateful to everyone

29
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 3: who was a part of this series.

30
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: Sophia has been nominated four times in the past for

31
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: her role as Gloria in Modern Family, but she's proving

32
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: that she has some serious dramatic chops as well. I

33
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: love seeing her breath and her range as a performer.

34
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: If you haven't seen Griselda, you can binge it now

35
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: on Netflix. It's dark, but it's so good. Additionally, we

36
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: also want to shout out Lily Gladstone and Callie Reese

37
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: for making history as the first Indigenous woman to be

38
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: nominated for acting in their roles in Under the Bridge

39
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: and True Detective Night Country.

40
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 3: Congrats to these incredible women. It's a huge accomplishment and

41
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 3: we'll be rooting for you.

42
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: All right, y'all, it's time to pop off. Oh, and

43
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,680

Speaker 1: can do the ok that's the best way to start today.

46
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: That was pretty good. It was really good. Okay, we

47
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: need to just gas up our guests a little bit.

48
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,679
Speaker 1: God So. Not only was she the network's youngest sideline

49
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: reporter during the NBA's twenty twenty season, but in twenty

50
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: twenty two, she became the first woman to host the

51
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: NBA Draft. I mean, badass, fory all around, Milika, welcome

52
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: to the bright side. I also happy to be here.

53
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 4: Blake Lively recently was talking about how she was described

54
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 4: as a crown straightener.

55
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: Did you guys see this? I just I loved that.

56
00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 4: And when I was coming here this morning, I said,

57
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,119
Speaker 4: you know what, I get to be with Danielle and Simone,

58
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 4: two crowned straighteners to start my day.

59
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: There is no better way to kick off a morning.

60
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: That's so sweet. I am so excited to be this.

61
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: What does it mean? So?

62
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 4: I mean instead of you know, you want to let

63
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 4: a lady know, not that her crown maybe has shifted

64
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 4: off to the side, but almost just straightened without even

65
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 4: making somebody feel some type of way about it. And

66
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 4: so you all just walk through the world, sharing women's stories,

67
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 4: straightening crowns, and leaving the world a little bit brighter.

68
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 4: And I just think that you guys are awesome. So

69
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 4: I am so excited to be here with you too.

70
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: You're already our favorite guests already. I'm not competitive at all.

71
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 3: So look, yes, that's super kind. Thank you.

72
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 4: Well, No, I'm so happy to be here and I

73
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 4: feel so honored to have been invited to share your space.

74
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,839
Speaker 3: Well, I want to guess you up a little bit more.

75
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 3: You're only twenty nine, and you've already made history in

76
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 3: the sports world. You were named Forbes thirty Under thirty

77
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 3: just a few years ago. I can't believe you're twenty nine.

78
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 3: You carry yourself like.

79
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: Just like I'm old.

80
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 3: No, like just like.

81
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: A woman, you know what I mean. Thank you appreciate that.

82
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 4: My friends would tease me it's because I'm old the

83
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 4: same thing, exactly right.

84
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: I am a chill at home type of person.

85
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 4: But no, I just I feel like I stand on

86
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 4: the shoulders of so many amazing women who have paved

87
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 4: the way in the sports industry, and we.

88
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 1: Have get to jobs, not half two jobs.

89
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 4: And I just I try to keep that in mind

90
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 4: because this is supposed to be fun, and it doesn't

91
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 4: mean not every day that's it's work, because it is.

92
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 4: And there are some days that you don't feel like going,

93
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 4: and there's some days that you would rather stay in bed,

94
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 4: and there's some days where you spill your coffee all

95
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 4: down your white jacket that I maybe did this morning.

96
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 4: But I just try to keep that in mind and

97
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 4: keep that perspective and not think of, oh, now I'm

98
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 4: sitting in this chair hosting the NBA Draft and making history,

99
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 4: because then I think I would start to get really nervous,

100
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 4: which I do already, but more think of it in

101
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 4: terms of, Okay, how can I leave my mark in

102
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 4: order to make our world a little bit better and

103
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 4: a little bit easier for the women that are coming

104
00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 4: up behind all of us. And I think that if

105
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 4: we can and all do that, then we move the

106
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 4: collective benchmarks forward for everybody.

107
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 3: So I love watching you talk about basketball. I know

108
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 3: you talk about a lot of things, but I love

109
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 3: watching you talk about basketball, and I'm a basketball fan.

110
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 3: You're a basketball journalist, like you are a sports journalist,

111
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 3: so I'm curious as to when you really fell in

112
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 3: love with basketball. Was there a moment or a player.

113
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great question to know. It was really

114
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: growing up.

115
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,679
Speaker 4: It was my dad because when I was a kid, right,

116
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 4: this was when you only had one screen in the house,

117
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 4: there was a television and there wasn't everyone could watch

118
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 4: their own individual shows. And he would let me stay

119
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 4: up late if it was watching basketball with him, right,

120
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 4: And so I kind of figured out, like, all right,

121
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 4: like maybe if I want to stay up late and

122
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 4: I want to enjoy a little bit of quality time

123
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 4: with my dad, then that's something that we would do together.

124
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 4: And so we watched the Golden State Warriors and they

125
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 4: were terrible, like this is back when they were Gosh,

126
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 4: they were so awful, and I hated them lose because

127
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 4: I perceived it as my dad being upset every time

128
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 4: that they lost. But for me, that's really when I

129
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,679
Speaker 4: fell in love with basketball. My dad's a personal trainer.

130
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 4: I played every sport I could growing up. It was

131
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 4: something that was just a lot of fun for me,

132
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 4: and the NBA sort of became what we did together

133
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,359
Speaker 4: as a family, watching games, going to games when we

134
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 4: could afford to go to games as a family, and

135
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 4: so fast forward, it still sort of feels like this

136
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 4: familial touchstone for us. Whenever, like the conversation lulls around

137
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 4: the dinner table, we all turned to all right, but

138
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 4: did you see was Zion Williamson did the other night?

139
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 4: And then like the conversation kind of comes back into

140
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 4: this bag.

141
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 3: So that every family has their exactly that's our thing.

142
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 3: That's funny. I've never really thought about that. That's our thing,

143
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 3: the thing that gets the conversation buzzing.

144
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 4: And so whenever you're like, oh, you know, I need

145
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 4: to I haven't called my dad in a few days.

146
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: I need to call my dad.

147
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 4: But maybe life stressful or all these other things are happening,

148
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 4: and you know, he's so perceptive. He's going to know

149
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 4: when something's going on with me that I maybe don't

150
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 4: even want to talk about. I'm like, we always have basketball.

151
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 4: That's always something that whenever we need to get pull

152
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 4: it back and light like then we can kind of

153
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 4: go back to basketball.

154
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: So that's where that love kind of came from for me.

155
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 1: Your dad must be so proud of not just you,

156
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,679
Speaker 1: but also your younger sister Kendra. I mean, she covers

157
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: the Golden State Warriors for ESPN. Yeah.

158
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 4: No, there's a moment the other day and she actually

159
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 4: texted it to me where I was doing NBA today

160
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 4: And Kendra's in Las Vegas this week doing the NBA

161
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 4: Summer League sidelines, And can I say she's just so

162
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 4: good on the sidelines. It's so infuriating. Like the first

163
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 4: time she did, I thought I was going to give

164
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 4: her all this advice and like, you know, this and

165
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,679
Speaker 4: the other, and then she gets up there the first time,

166
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 4: and she's a natural at it. She's so very good

167
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 4: at She's a great writer, she's a very good reporter,

168
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 4: but she's very very good on the sideline. So everybody

169
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 4: knows I'm two and a half years older. Everybody with

170
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 4: the sibling knows. These little they are always in your stuff.

171
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 4: They are always in your stuff. We're on DV one day,

172
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 4: Kendra's joining NBA today and wrapping up her very professionally

173
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 4: delivered report and at the end, I kind of look

174
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 4: over to the side. She's like, you know, gesticulating using

175
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 4: her hands, and I look over and I'm.

176
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: Like, Kendra, thank you so very much. But is that

177
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: her watch?

178
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 4: And because of the tape delay, it looks like for

179
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 4: a second she's like bobbing her head saying yes it is,

180
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 4: and then she goes, no, no, it's not your watch.

181
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 4: To set the record straight, it's my watch. However, it

182
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 4: is now her watch. She this is she has she

183
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 4: has worn it for so many years at this point,

184
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 4: this is now.

185
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,719
Speaker 1: This clip was like two years ago that.

186
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 4: Now it's her common law watch. It's her common law watch.

187
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 4: She has a common law relation with the watch.

188
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: It is now her watch.

189
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 3: We have to take a quick break stick with us.

190
00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 3: We're back to popping off with Malika Andrews. It's it's

191
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 3: the end of the week, so we want a kiki

192
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 3: about the biggest moments in pop culture. Malika. First things first,

193
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 3: it's WNBA All Star weekend.

194
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 4: Well, everyone is going to Phoenix right now, and it's

195
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,439
Speaker 4: funny that we're talking about cultural moments. I was having

196
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 4: a conversation with a colleague this morning because a year

197
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 4: ago there was this conversation around WNBA All Star about

198
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 4: should it be moved to Las Vegas to coincide with

199
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 4: the Men's Summer League, because that's how fans right are

200
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 4: going to be attracted to this event, like, why not

201
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 4: kind of exactly, why not sort of ride that sort

202
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 4: of the coattails there and see and now fast forward

203
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 4: one year, one year, and this is the place to be, Like,

204
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 4: I have so much fomo right now.

205
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: I'm enjoying sitting here with you all.

206
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 4: I'm so much pomo that I am not now immediately

207
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 4: headed to the airport to get on an airplane to

208
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 4: go to Phoenix, because this is sort of the place

209
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 4: to be. And I think, of course, part of that

210
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 4: is this this sensational rookie class. We saw Caitlyn Clark

211
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 4: have nineteen assists, set a single game record as a

212
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 4: rookie with nineteen assists in a game. This week we

213
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 4: have Angel Reese who is making history of her own

214
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 4: with double doubles all over the place, just a machine

215
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 4: on the floor. Getting to see them as teammates for

216
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 4: the first time because they are playing against the US

217
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 4: Women's Olympic team. That's sort of the setup of this

218
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 4: All Star game. And Angel Rees kind of told me, Yeah,

219
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go to Paris and I'm gonna watch, but

220
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 4: you know, book it in twenty twenty eight, I'm gonna

221
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 4: be there and her and Caitlyn together because we've been

222
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:37,959
Speaker 4: saying over and over again, this.

223
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: Is competition, it's not cattiness.

224
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 4: And I think people get confused when women start to

225
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 4: get competitive in sports about what that line is.

226
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: Don't be confused. This is the best in the world

227
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:48,719
Speaker 1: doing what they do.

228
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, at All Star Weekend in Phoenix, it's the

229
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 4: place to be, and not being there we're missing out.

230
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: Well, It's funny how when men do it, it's competition,

231
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: when women do it, it's cattiness. Yeah, exactly.

232
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 3: There's a woman I think that really exemplifies what you

233
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 3: just said, Maliko, which is Serena Williams. Competition right, like

234
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 3: she talked, I'm gonna swear she talks shit all the time,

235
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 3: and she does it in an amazing way. I saw

236
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 3: her do it at the Spies and I'm wondering if you.

237
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: Thought it landed. I'm going to speak for myself.

238
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'm going to say yes, okay, because I

239
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 4: was sitting there, you know, I went to the SP's

240
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 4: with Kendra thinking to myself, my goodness, you were saying

241
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,839
Speaker 4: so many things that so many women wish that they

242
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 4: could say out loud, that certainly we all think yep,

243
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:36,559
Speaker 4: and that all of us are like trying not to

244
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 4: stand up and like start hitting the table and be

245
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 4: like oh yes, like thank you for giving this voice

246
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 4: to women who maybe can't make that joke. And that's

247
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 4: what the humor is for, right, They're the best kind

248
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 4: of humor.

249
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: It lives in a truth.

250
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 4: And I think that it's really refreshing to see Serena

251
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 4: kind of step into that, because I do think you're right,

252
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 4: she does kind of have that smack talk on the core.

253
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 4: But I also think that she has been very conscious

254
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 4: for many years. And I've only had the pleasure of

255
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 4: meeting her once, but from my outside perspective and I

256
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 4: don't want to put anything on her, it seems like

257
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 4: she's been very conscious for years of where that space

258
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 4: is keeping it to being on the court, and now

259
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 4: we're getting to see her step into her comfort in

260
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 4: all of these other places as a strong black woman

261
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 4: that's been beat down in so many.

262
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: Ways by society.

263
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 4: So for her to look around and say, you know what,

264
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 4: I'm kind of done with this and I'm going to

265
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 4: stand up for myself is something that I say, you

266
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 4: know what, yeah with me, with me, that lance with me,

267
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 4: that lance, well.

268
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: She was specifically calling out Harrison Butker for his comments

269
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: about women choosing careers versus families homemaking. Homemaking. Yes, and

270
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: he very specifically pointed to his wife who chose to

271
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 1: go the homemaking child rearing route, which we celebrate that

272
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 1: for the women who choose that. But it's just so

273
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: interesting to think about the contrast between the kind of

274
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: woman that Harrison Bucker was describing in his speech and

275
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: who Serena Williams is. And I'm just so thankful that

276
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: she didn't succumb to this pressure to choose one or

277
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: the other. Like, she is still one of the greatest

278
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: of all time, and like, can you imagine if she

279
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: if she had listened to someone like Harrison Butker and

280
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,359
Speaker 1: suppressed all this talent, I mean, we would be there

281
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: would be a huge void in the world if she

282
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: hadn't done that.

283
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 4: Right, suppressed all of that talent, but also not to

284
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 4: the point of suppressing her own ambitions as a mother.

285
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 4: As a mother, Like I think holding that duality is

286
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 4: something that is so important and it's not the path

287
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 4: for everybody. Yes, that's sort of I think that the

288
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 4: point that Serena was making. Yes, by the way, I

289
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 4: love the joke that she made, like Lebron, you want

290
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 4: to play with your son brawny, which is great and

291
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 4: it's so much fun to see that excellence on the floor.

292
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: But then her saying, well, I did it with my

293
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: daughter in my belly.

294
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 4: And it was sort of like just reminding us of

295
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 4: sort of the greatness of women and the multitudes that

296
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 4: a single person can contain, because I think that right

297
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 4: now we're sort of in this place where we're being

298
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 4: asked not to be able to hold multiple truths exactly.

299
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 3: That's super well said. I think she's one of the

300
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 3: only people that could have made the joke, and so

301
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 3: I'm really glad she did. She like used her power

302
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 3: for good.

303
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: I loved it.

304
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 3: Okay, Malika Simone, let's talk TV's biggest moments. Emmy nominations

305
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 3: were announced this week, and a show that seems to

306
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 3: be a crowd favorite, The Bear, was nominated for twenty

307
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 3: three awards.

308
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: That's my lucky number. I hope it's their lucky number. Two.

309
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 3: There you go, and that's a record for a comedy series. Okay,

310
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 3: it is such a good Chicago show, Milika. I'm a Chicagoan,

311
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 3: so I have like a specsher.

312
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,600

Speaker 3: a Chicago show. I want to love it. I have

318
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 3: to be honest. It is frenetic and it is hard.

00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 3: I get anxious watching. It's anxiety, are you guys big fans?

324
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: much Do you really feel it's very much drama with

325
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: some levity in it? Yeah. I have to be in

326
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: the right mood to watch the show. It's not that

327
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: I don't love the performances and the direction, their grasp

328
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: of like the culinary language, and it's so immersive. It's

329
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: so immersive.

330
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's also fun to watch the two of them,

331
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 3: like Jeremy Allen White and Iowa Debris are just I

332
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 3: have this chemistry and this mastic.

333
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: She is funny. She's very very funny. There you go.

334
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 4: I agree with you. Yeah, Simone, I I do. I

335
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 4: do get a little stressed out. Yes, at times, watch

336
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 4: I have to. It's not the last show I can

337
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 4: watch before bed. If I am going to watch that,

338
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 4: I need to watch that an episode of also nominated

339
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 4: ABBT Elementary afterwards to kind of cleanse the palette. And

340
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 4: I do think you were you know, you mentioned this

341
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 4: sort of record number of nominees that they I wonder

342
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 4: if they are going to, for lack of a better pun,

343
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 4: sort of maul the competition because of all of the

344
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 4: attention that is on. I don't know why I keep

345
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 4: doing the Bear. Yeah, I'm making my hands as a bear.

346
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: Well, that's the thing. This cast is so beloved. People

347
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: are rooting for them both on and off screen, and

348
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: they've just become such a cultural moment, like just rooting

349
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: for them, following them. So I'm definitely here to support

350
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: the Bear, support the cast. I just have to be

351
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: in the right head space to watch. It's a little

352
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: stressful sometimes.

353
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 3: I'm glad that you guys agree with confident. I want

354
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 3: to love the show, but it stresses me out.

355
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: Anybody who's worked in restaurants too, It just like immediately

356
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:58,960

Speaker 1: deal with job I've ever had.

358
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:01,880

369
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: dynamic actor on screen, Like I just can't take my

370
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 1: eyes off of him whenever he's on screen.

371
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 4: And as someone who works in TV, can I just

372
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 4: say their attention to detail on that show.

373
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 3: We always talk about this, right like.

374
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 4: Oh, wait, you like that's not something you think about

375
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 4: until you see. Oh, they take the ear piece out

376
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 4: to talk to the person who's acrossing and they put

377
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 4: the earpiece back in. Just the tiniest little details that

378
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 4: really make it come to life in a very realistic way. Yeah,

379
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,439
Speaker 4: so so good, And I loved the Actors on Actors

380
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 4: with Jennifer Anison and Kinta.

381
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: I just thought that that was Quinta. I thought that

382
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 1: that was great. It was so good.

383
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 3: I always think, too, when you see great acting, it

384
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 3: means that it starts with great writing, and so it's

385
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:25,719
Speaker 3: just a very talented cast and crew. So there's this

386
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 3: quote that I share on the show sometimes that Michelle

387
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 3: Weiner told me that life is just a series of

388
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 3: pep talks, and Malika, you came in here and you

389
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 3: kind of gave us a different way of saying that,

390
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 3: like a crown straightener, which I loved. So there was

391
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 3: a moment this week that I think backs up both

392
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 3: of those notions. You guys may have seen this video

393
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 3: that went viral earlier this year, but Natalie Portman and

394
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 3: Rihanna or Rihanna, I always want to say Rihanna, but

395
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 3: it is Rihanna met at the Door Fashion show in

396
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 3: Paris and they had a moment. So Rihanna went up

397
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 3: to Natalie and she said that she is the baddest

398
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 3: bitch in town, and they both just like gushed over

399
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,919
Speaker 3: each other and it went viral because it was so adorable.

400
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 3: It was so great to see like two grown women

401
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 3: just loving.

402
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: On each other.

403
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 3: Well, fast forward a few months, Natalie Portman made an

404
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 3: appearance on Jimmy Fallon This Week and she said that

405
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:21,479
Speaker 3: that moment with Rihanna was a quote formative moment in

406
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 3: my life. She said it just happened a few weeks

407
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 3: before her divorce was finalized, and that every woman going

408
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 3: through a divorce should have Rihanna say to her that

409
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 3: she's a bad bitch. This really warmed my heart. Yeah,

410
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 3: it's really not like you don't know what somebody's going through.

411
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 3: And so sometimes that sweet moment, that little pump up,

412
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:43,479
Speaker 3: it really gives you something.

413
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 4: That's why, you know, whenever I walk past to a

414
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 4: woman who I like their outfit, it's small, it's not

415
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 4: Ranna saying it to you, because you wouldn't be Andrew, stop.

416
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,239
Speaker 1: Don't do that. Don't do that. We're not doing that.

417
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,439
Speaker 4: But I tried, you know what I mean, Like, I

418
00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 4: try to say it because you're making someone day. I

419
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 4: when a stranger comes up to me, I don't dress

420
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 4: for other men, I just for women. And so when

421
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 4: someone comes up to me and says, you know what

422
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 4: your hair looks great today? I love your outfit and

423
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 4: you know if they caught the show or other things

424
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 4: like say say it, say it to someone, sprinkle a

425
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 4: little bit more kindness in the world, and that clip,

426
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 4: I mean, I just I love it because I'm sure

427
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:23,199
Speaker 4: you can think back to a time that maybe you

428
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 4: were feeling a little bit down though someone said something

429
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 4: to you right, and you just felt your crown was

430
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:30,239
Speaker 4: straightened because of it.

431
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 3: Malika gen Z, girls make me feel better than anybody else.

432
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I'm going to tell you a quick

433
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: small story.

434
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 3: I was on a date one time and the woman

435
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 3: that was the hostess at the restaurant says, you are

436
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 3: so beautiful. And the guy I was with it was

437
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 3: like a first date, and he looked at me and

438
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 3: he was like, oh my.

439
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 1: God, that's so nice.

440
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 3: Like she just like gave me so much in that moment.

441
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 3: And so I started doing that to people, yeahcause I'm like,

442
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 3: it's not just a compliment for you, Like it makes you.

Speaker 4: I mean again, this was didn't didn't introduce it, just

469
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:09,199
Speaker 4: like a tiny little because I didn't want to bother her.

470
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,120
Speaker 4: She didn't want, but it was a two second thing.

471
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 4: She meets one hundred bazillion people in a day. But

472
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 4: then the flight attendant was this.

473
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: I loved this.

474
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 4: He was this man with like this beautiful curly hair,

475
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 4: and he went up to her and was like, I

476
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 4: don't want to bother you, but can I ask you

477
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,919
Speaker 4: about my curl pumping? And she just had all the

478
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 4: time in the world just so yep. I was I

479
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 4: would do this to try this from this line, and

480
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 4: I was, you know what, that's that's the kindness we

481
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 4: want to see in the world.

482
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: That was the curl optimism that we want to see

483
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: in the world.

484
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 3: Because you're a sports curly, I'm going to give you mine.

485
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: It's Jimmy V. That's a good one. So laugh every day,

486
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 1: cry every day. That's living life to the fullest.

487
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 3: Oh see, I knew you know that speech. If anybody

488
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 3: doesn't know it, I please go look it up on YouTube.

489
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,880
Speaker 3: It's from nineteen ninety three and he gave it right

490
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 3: before he passed away, And I dare you not to

491
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 3: cry and laugh in that speech, like watch, it's just beautiful.

492
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: All right, We've got to take a quick break, but

493
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: we'll be right back. Don't go anywhere. We're back and

494
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: still popping off with Malika Andrews. Okay, next up, we

495
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: are hyped that the Olympics are just a week away.

496
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: And here's the thing, y'all. This year's custom emblem is

497
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 1: catching fire online. Okay, do you remember the trend the

498
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: gold dress or blue dress divided the internet. I always

499
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: saw it as blue. I think I was a gold

500
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,439
Speaker 1: dress card. Okay, okay, Well, this year's emblem is just

501
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 1: as polarizing. So here's the deal with the emblem. The

502
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 1: background is a gold circle to symbolize a gold medal,

503
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,360
Speaker 1: and then there's this white flame in the middle, which

504
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: is symbolizing the Olympic Flame. And I think we are

505
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 1: going to need to pull up a picture here so

506
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,360
Speaker 1: that you can see it, because it kind of ends

507
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: up looking like a face with a gold blonde layered haircut,

508
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,360
Speaker 1: or some people think it looks like the Tender Flame.

509
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: Have you seen the logo? You know what I'm talking about.

510
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 1: It it's not you look at it and you don't

511
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: say what is that? You say, who is that? Exactly?

512
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:12,120
Speaker 1: And you know who it is?

513
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 4: Look up the emblem and then look up missus incredible.

514
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 1: Yes, right, yes, it totally looks like exactly.

515
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 4: That is Missus Incredible, which is who's Missus Incredible from

516
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 4: The Incredibles?

517
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: And that that is.

518
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 3: That's her face, her cartoon.

519
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 4: Face and not her super suit exactly. I love that

520
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 4: or belongs on a lipstick advert.

521
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: I mean obviously the lips had to have been intentional, right, Like,

522
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: you're not just going to put those lips there without Yeah,

523
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: of course you're going to make people think it's a face,

524
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 1: So that actually is intentional. Okay. It symbolizes Mary Anne,

525
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 1: which is the personification of the French Republic. God it.

526
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: I love the female empowerment. People love this emblem.

527
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 3: I like, this is incredible.

528
00:24:55,960 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: Better it can be both. We can hold multiple things.

529
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,199
Speaker 3: We we well, we also want to honor some people

530
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 3: that we lost in this last week. So Shannon Doherty,

531
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:12,400
Speaker 3: Richard Simmons, and the groundbreaking sex researcher doctor Ruth Westeimer.

532
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 3: All three of them modeled resilience and honestly positivity in

533
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 3: their own ways. Richard Simmons promoted fitness and body positivity.

534
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 3: He died on July twelfth, just one day after his

535
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 3: seventy sixth birthday. You know, I read a piece in

536
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,959
Speaker 3: the Atlantic by Gall Beckerman that pointed out how he

537
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 3: was practicing a form of body positivity way before his time,

538
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 3: and if you go back and watch old Sweaton to

539
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 3: the Oldies videos, you'll see people of every shape and

540
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 3: size doing the moves along with him. He wanted fitness

541
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 3: and exercise to also belong to people who didn't look

542
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 3: like athletes or movie stars. And I also saw a

543
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 3: tribute that Jane Fonda wrote about him saying he always

544
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 3: wanted to bring joy to people and went out of

545
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 3: his way. Do you guys remember Richard Simmons? Was he

546
00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 3: like a figure in your life and.

547
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: Dark to Ruth? Especially for me? Yeah, I was like

548
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 1: for me in college. I remember my college roommate and

549
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 1: I would always be like, well, what would doctor Ruth say?

550
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: Really Ruth say?

551
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 4: And we would you know, that was kind of our Yeah,

552
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,880
Speaker 4: I think just I loved it. I think that that

553
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 4: Jade put it perfectly. Accessibility for a lot of different

554
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 4: people to feel comfortable in their bodies is something that

555
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 4: they did before that it was trendy to do.

556
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well.

557
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 3: Doctor Ruth died one day later at age ninety six,

558
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 3: and was known as Grandma Freud. As a young girl,

559
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 3: she survived the Holocaust and went on to have a

560
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 3: storied career as a sex therapist, a professor, and the

561
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 3: host of the sex positive syndicated radio show Sexually Speaking,

562
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,919
Speaker 3: which ran for ten years. Malika, I love that she

563
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 3: was a figure in your life. I used to watch

564
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 3: her growing up, Like in my parents would go to

565
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 3: bed and I would like secretly turn doctor Ruth on.

566
00:26:55,200 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 3: She just she was so ahead of her time. Yeah, yeah,

567
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 3: do you remember her, Simone, I do.

568
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,880
Speaker 1: I grew up in a home that was very conservative

569
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 1: when I came to discussing sex sexuality, so I can't

570
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 1: say that I ever watched her at home. She was

571
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 1: certainly a larger than life cultural figure who had a

572
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 1: really widespread influence. Yeah.

573
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 3: People when she passed, people really came out with stories

574
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 3: of how much she impacted their lives.

575
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

576
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 3: Why did you in your roommate love doctor Ruth?

577
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 4: Because you know, you're figuring it all out in college

578
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 4: and if you know, a nana is telling you all

579
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 4: these nasty things, and maybe, you know what, we can

580
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,360
Speaker 4: figure out a way that this all works within our

581
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,679
Speaker 4: own lives, you know. Like I just thought that she

582
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 4: was tremendous and to go from being a survivor of

583
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 4: the Holocaust to then embrace which was your body in

584
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 4: so many ways. I'm Jewish, and you know, talking to

585
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 4: Holocaust survivors about, you know, the branding of their bodies

586
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 4: and what their bodies go through in these heinous, heinous camps.

587
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 4: To go from that perspective to the perspective of fully

588
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 4: and holly not only embracing your own but helping other

589
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 4: people to do the same is a pretty incredible journey

590
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 4: and mark to leave on the world.

591
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a radical shift. Yeah, to still go into

592
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: what in many ways is still a life of service,

593
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 1: you know, after its taboo in a lot of ways.

594
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

595
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 3: You know, my grandma was a Holocaust survivor and to

596
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 3: come to America, she said at sixteen, was for her

597
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 3: even more traumatic than the Holocaust because she was like,

598
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 3: I didn't understand I was a kid in the Holocaust.

599
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 3: I didn't understand what any of these customs where people

600
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 3: spoke different, they it was made fun of. So to

601
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 3: your point, Malika, for doctor Ruth to come out of

602
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 3: that move to America and then embrace like an American

603
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 3: way of life and build this persona for herself is

604
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 3: just it's tremendous.

605
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 4: Like this kind of tiny woman like I just I

606
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 4: love that kind of dichotomy too, Like this tiny woman

607
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 4: with this amazing accent that just I.

608
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 1: Don't know, I just I love all of that exactly

609
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: pint sized.

610
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 3: Lastly, we're remembering actress Shannon Doherty, who lost her battle

611
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 3: to cancer on July thirteenth. She was a fixture on

612
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 3: eighties and nineties TV Little House on the Prairie, Charmed

613
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 3: nine oh two, one oh Brenda. I mean, in recent

614
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 3: years she bravely chronicled her battle with breast cancer, including

615
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 3: on her podcast as recently as a few weeks ago.

616
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 3: I grew up watching all of her shows, So that

617
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 3: was a sad one too.

618
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, A Little House on the Prairie was definitely that

619
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 4: was the really Yeah, that was my little sister and I.

620
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: We really really enjoyed Little House on the Prairie.

621
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 4: But that vulnerability to be able to share not with

622
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 4: the perspective of hindsight, to know that everything is going

623
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 4: to be okay, to share in real time with the

624
00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 4: goal I imagine of helping other people, but all so

625
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 4: to kind of come to terms with your own battle mortality.

626
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 4: I just think that's something that I admire tremendously because

627
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 4: I'd like to think that that's something that I could

628
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 4: find within myself, but I'm not sure. Like your natural

629
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 4: instinct is to protect, to protect yourself, and to be

630
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 4: so selfless as to share what you are going through

631
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 4: with other people and the hope that that can help

632
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 4: them and their journey is something that I just have

633
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 4: the utmost respect for.

634
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, and she did it in a really raw, real way, Yeah,

635
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 3: which doesn't happen on social media all the time.

636
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 4: No, it's something that's really I know, you guys talked

637
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 4: recently about the Selene documentary too on the show, Like

638
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 4: we don't get to see that very often, particularly from

639
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 4: these celebrities that are in so many ways larger than life.

640
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 1: These are the things that sort of connect all of us. So, yeah,

641
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,840

Speaker 1: Breast cancer rates among young women under fifth are surging,

644
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: and so you know, this is a great opportunity, reality check,

645
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 1: to just do a check on your own health and

646
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: make sure that you're getting your mammograms regularly. There have

647
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 1: been several instances of notable breast cancer cases in the news,

648
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: and also I've been touched by it in my own life,

649
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: so just a great reminder to do those regular checkups.
