Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central.
Speaker 2: From the most trusted journalist at Comedy Center.
Speaker 1: It's America's only sorts for news. This it's the Daily
Speaker 1: Shot with your host show stupid.
Speaker 2: I didn't know.
Speaker 1: Tell you that I didn't know where was coming from.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Daily Show. Please, my name's got Seorte.
Speaker 3: We got a lot.
Speaker 1: We got a lot going on in the world today,
Speaker 1: very consequential, the things that you're seeing on the news
Speaker 1: and all that, huge consequences. But I would be remiss
Speaker 1: if I did not comment on the big news and
Speaker 1: broadcasting Pat Sayjack. Patrick Sajack stepped down from Wheel of
Speaker 1: Fortune after forty one years. It was incredibly emotional, and
Speaker 1: I just want to say to Pat Sajack, have you
Speaker 1: thought about just doing Mondays because you can phone that.
Speaker 1: But of course he is gone, just in time for
Speaker 1: Pride Months. Ironically, a little bitch you. Why Pride Months
Speaker 1: is of course that time of year when corporations get
Speaker 1: together and financially exploit the decades long struggle of gay
Speaker 1: people for acceptance and equality. Hey, remember when you a
Speaker 1: fire it from that bad job after you were outed. Well,
Speaker 1: Burger King does with a burger that has two bottom buns. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's not a funny make them up scarred by
Speaker 1: conversion therapy. Skittles is releasing a colorless version of Skittles,
Speaker 1: apparently not wanting to confuse gay people with competing rainbows. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then there's this ad showing a family overcoming a
Speaker 1: father's deep conservative values. As you watch it, try and
Speaker 1: guess exactly what it is they're selling.
Speaker 3: Mom, this is Amy, Hi, Amy, Hey, I'm.
Speaker 2: What does he doing?
Speaker 1: Did I do it right?
Speaker 3: What the fuck? Yeah?
Speaker 1: The next time you waste an enormous amount of paint
Speaker 1: to apologize to your daughter for making a herd a
Speaker 1: girlfriend walk on bigshells up weekend, not even saying anything,
Speaker 1: just standing there with your little glowering beard face in
Speaker 1: the shadows. Just take the face and give her an oreo.
Speaker 1: And then, of course there's Target. Pride Months means so
Speaker 1: much to them that they set up one small area
Speaker 1: in their twenty thousand square feet of store to sell
Speaker 1: you a Pride T shirt they had made in Indonesia
Speaker 1: for twenty nine cents landing because they believe so much
Speaker 1: in the cause. Well, Target will be dialing back. It's
Speaker 1: Pride Month merchandise this June. What how will I learn
Speaker 1: to live? Laugh? Lesbian? That's right. Target is apparently less
Speaker 1: proud of pride this.
Speaker 4: Year, but why retail giant Target is grappling with backlash
Speaker 4: from conservatives over its most recent collection celebrating the LGBTQ community.
Speaker 1: Not shop at Target or else. You're gay and you're
Speaker 1: a perbert, even if I'm just getting paper towels. That
Speaker 1: But that's the burden corporations must bear. They care almost
Speaker 1: too much about the human condition, often finding themselves in
Speaker 1: the crosshairs of ideologues and fundamentalists. But they stand by
Speaker 1: their values, sometimes for a couple of months. For instance,
Speaker 1: post January sixth, hundreds of corporations announced the end of
Speaker 1: donations to senators or congressmen who voted to overturn the election,
Speaker 1: and that moral stand in defense of democracy itself lasted
Speaker 1: almost a month. Yeah, they ran the numbers, and apparently
Speaker 1: you can sell more cell phones in the dictatorship. But
Speaker 1: that month appears almost gandhiesque when compared to bud Light,
Speaker 1: whose foray into inclusion was last April's incredibly not in
Speaker 1: the public Space small promotional social media video with a
Speaker 1: transgender influencer named Dylan mulvaney, prompting a conservative bud Light
Speaker 1: murder purge Gode Man. Those beers had families, bud Light
Speaker 1: sales plummeted, stocks tank and it only took two weeks
Speaker 1: for Budweiser to issue an apology and run a new
Speaker 1: ad campaign designed to win back the kind of people
Speaker 1: who shoot at their products.
Speaker 2: Let me tell you a story about a beer rooted
Speaker 2: in the heart of America.
Speaker 1: A talking horse. You're apologizing about a transmitter influencer using
Speaker 1: a talking horse. Well, tell us your story.
Speaker 2: National Velvet, found in a community where a handshake is
Speaker 2: a sure contract.
Speaker 1: This is a story.
Speaker 2: Bigger than beer. This is the story of the American spirit.
Speaker 1: First of all, I think that horse is scared shitless.
Speaker 1: And second of all, the apology gift to the people
Speaker 1: upset about Budweiser is a Budwiser curious but don't be sad,
Speaker 1: for this is only following in a long line of
Speaker 1: hollow corporate pandering meant to convince you that not only
Speaker 1: are corporations people, they're good people, decent people who care
Speaker 1: about the systemic ills of this great nation. We saw
Speaker 1: this very clearly in the wake of George Floyd's murder.
Speaker 1: Corporations saw people's demand for a reckoning with America's races passed,
Speaker 1: and they said, sure us too.
Speaker 5: We are on a four hundred year long journey and
Speaker 5: scars don't fade, but neither does hope.
Speaker 2: And in the fight against systematic racism and inequalities, the
Speaker 2: Riders is committing to amplifying black voices.
Speaker 4: General Mills served the world by making food people love
Speaker 4: and inclusion.
Speaker 1: It's one of our secret ingredients.
Speaker 2: Times.
Speaker 5: Our purpose is to make life devicious, and we believe
Speaker 5: we can't achieve that.
Speaker 1: No one essential ingredients diversity. Are you sure you don't
Speaker 1: mean sodium trifoss? Meanwhile, while corporations forcefully pronounced their deeply
Speaker 1: held value of promoting diversity on network television, their commitment
Speaker 1: only lasted until the protests died down time for the
Speaker 1: morning buzz.
Speaker 5: Major tech giants including Google and Meta quietly slashing their diversity,
Speaker 5: equity and inclusion jobs this year and laying off workers
Speaker 5: in those departments. DEI related job postings in twenty twenty
Speaker 5: three declined forty four percent.
Speaker 1: Ah, I guess they only needed to use much less
Speaker 1: of that ingredient than they thought they need It turns
Speaker 1: out the recipe Craft wanted called for just a dash
Speaker 1: of inclusion, just a sousson of diversity. So they're very
Speaker 1: clearly conflicted between the high moral values that they think
Speaker 1: we want and the amorl values that serve their shareholders. So,
Speaker 1: if I may address corporate America quickly in this moment, stop,
Speaker 1: we don't need any of this. We don't need to
Speaker 1: know that your products are used by only the most
Speaker 1: diverse families walking down sidewalks, are camping or diverse families
Speaker 1: doing a ride or getting a loan or doing laundry
Speaker 1: or a diverse I don't know what they are. This
Speaker 1: guy doesn't thing. He's got a skin condition, and no
Speaker 1: way is he dating her. No way, no way, there
Speaker 1: is no way. Oh sure, we're supposed to believe how
Speaker 1: many beautiful, multi racial young ladies are dating ezema opie.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, okay, very believable. I apologize. I apologize sincerely
Speaker 1: to that gentleman. And by the way, for those on
Speaker 1: the right who wish corporations would just ditch the woke
Speaker 1: performances and go back to good old fashioned patriotic values,
Speaker 1: that's all bullshit too. For God's sakes, Spaghettios told us
Speaker 1: not to forget Pearl Harbor. By the way, why is
Speaker 1: the Spaghettio so happy about Pearl Harbor, see remembering it
Speaker 1: or celebrating it. I wouldn't be surprised if Spaghettios supported
Speaker 1: Pearl Harbor attack. Technically, a can of Spaghetios is a
Speaker 1: sneak attack on your digestive system. Spaghettios, Spaghettios, they are
Speaker 1: base of pasta. Why are we allowing ourselves to get
Speaker 1: worked up over whether giant multinational corporations are pro gay
Speaker 1: or have traditional American values? Because corporations have put one value,
Speaker 1: shareholder value. That's all they have. That Budweiser horse that
Speaker 1: wants to restore our American spirit is actually owned by
Speaker 1: a Belgian Brazilian beverage conglomerate that all American Clydesdale's name
Speaker 1: is probably Jean Locobo scenario. Even the corporations you think
Speaker 1: are sincere, like Dove and their multi year commitment to
Speaker 1: body positivity, are owned by Unilever, also the owner of
Speaker 1: Axe Body Spray, and they're decades long commitment to anything
Speaker 1: that moves. There is nothing corporations do that is not
Speaker 1: in service of their bottom line. Even when you go
Speaker 1: to the checkout at the grocery store and the little
Speaker 1: card reader thing says, do you want to round up
Speaker 1: to help feed some children? Well, the first thing I
Speaker 1: think is, you're the one with all the food, why don't.
Speaker 3: You round some of that off?
Speaker 1: And then they got the balls. They got the balls
Speaker 1: to put out a press release talk about how much
Speaker 1: money they donated to stop world hunger. Than's my money,
Speaker 1: you tell those kids, that's my money. Let's stop pretending
Speaker 1: that a corporation can even be woke or unwoke, or
Speaker 1: patriotic or unpatriotic. Let's just let corporations live their truth
Speaker 1: as the profit seeking Patrick Bateman psychopaths they are, at
Speaker 1: the very least, we might finally, we might finally get
Speaker 1: some honesty from them as well. Take a look, Hi,
Speaker 1: we're corporate America, not any specific one, all of them.
Speaker 1: And over the years we've pledged our commitment to some
Speaker 1: important causes like gay rights, democracy, and something to do
Speaker 1: with black people. But this month we're proud to celebrate
Speaker 1: our biggest commitment of all. No longer pretending that we
Speaker 1: give a shit about any of that. Part of our honesty, we.
Speaker 5: Pledge no more mission statements or awareness campaigns or promises
Speaker 5: to increase diversity and management.
Speaker 1: You think a year ago would be putting up two
Speaker 1: straight white people as spokesman, got No, we have hired
Speaker 1: two diverse actors to pretend they worked here. What all.
Speaker 1: But from now on, we're just going to go back
Speaker 1: to doing what we are designed to do, making products
Speaker 1: as cheaply as we can and selling them to you
Speaker 1: at the highest price possible. Yes, but we'll still be
Speaker 1: carbon neutral because it's important to get to net zero.
Speaker 1: We never did that in the first place. I don't
Speaker 1: even know what it means. And here at Corporate America,
Speaker 1: love is love.
Speaker 2: No, we're not doing that. You already told me.
Speaker 1: I just got. When we come back to Moduct, we'll
Speaker 1: be joing us. We'll go up. What about it go down?
Speaker 1: So my guest tonight a basketball analyst, host and reporter
Speaker 1: for ESPN as well as the voice of the New
Speaker 1: York Knicks radio broadcast. Please welcome to the program, Monica McNutt.
Speaker 3: Welcome, Welcome, Thank you, John.
Speaker 1: It's so nice to see you. Everyone is aware there
Speaker 1: was a huge viral moment in sports reporting, and you, Monica,
Speaker 1: were at the center of it concerning an appearance on
Speaker 1: Stephen A. Smith's show and a young basketball player on
Speaker 1: the Fever who's apparently generating quite a bit of controversy.
Speaker 1: Tell us a little bit about that viral moment.
Speaker 4: All right, So the conversation, John, it started about the
Speaker 4: foul over the weekend that Kenny Carter for the Chicago
Speaker 4: Skuy foul Kaitlyn Clark of the Indiana Fever. And I'm
Speaker 4: not gonna lie to you, John, if I take you
Speaker 4: through my day that morning, I get the call or
Speaker 4: the text rather than I'm like, are we really leading
Speaker 4: sports with this?
Speaker 1: Are we really leading sports with a foul person got
Speaker 1: knocked over in a marketball game in sports?
Speaker 3: All right, I'm like, fine, let's just do it.
Speaker 4: So we have the conversation with colleagues and friends, Steven
Speaker 4: Nick Smith, Shannon Sharp. And my larger point in the
Speaker 4: conversation was the tenor and the prevailing narrative that has
Speaker 4: been created around this season's WNBA play is that it's
Speaker 4: the league versus Kaitlyn Clark, and that is just absolutely false.
Speaker 4: It is unfair to the women that have been there
Speaker 4: building this league to this moment. So that Kaitlyn Clark's
Speaker 4: popularity could take it to the next level. And so
Speaker 4: by the end of the show, John, the tone had
Speaker 4: changed and I just kind of needed to put my
Speaker 4: foot down a little bit.
Speaker 1: There was some defensiveness on the part of the individuals.
Speaker 1: You've covered basketball for many many years, you played basketball,
Speaker 1: you follow the NBA for many years. You know what
Speaker 1: you're talking The tenor of the conversation, as I could tell,
Speaker 1: was they were saying to you, now, we know what
Speaker 1: we're talking about, even though we just tuned into this
Speaker 1: whole thing flashed Wednesday.
Speaker 4: And there it is, right And so, as I have
Speaker 4: said about this, it was a little bit of a challenge, right,
Speaker 4: two gentlemen that I admire in terms of what they've built,
Speaker 4: because if you haven't been here, I need three years.
Speaker 4: I need you to kind of have jumped in when
Speaker 4: Sodona Prince went viral for calling out the NCAA, I
Speaker 4: needed you kind of to be here as this league
Speaker 4: has seen its best viewership year to year.
Speaker 3: Now, yes it has.
Speaker 4: Absolutely been taken over the top this year, but this
Speaker 4: has been a snowballing effect to get to this moment.
Speaker 4: And so while Kaitlyn is fantastic and I think she's
Speaker 4: gonna have an incredible career in the w NBA. There
Speaker 4: are women that were worthy of coverage prior to her arriving,
Speaker 4: and I just will not be silenced when it comes to.
Speaker 1: That, right beautifully said now, and I'm gonna.
Speaker 3: Tell you this comach.
Speaker 1: I have not particularly followed the WNBA on a day
Speaker 1: to day. I follow when it's basketball sometimes more in college,
Speaker 1: I think, and and in the old days, uh uh,
Speaker 1: Don Staley and and those players. I did follow that, yep,
Speaker 1: but I have incredibly strong opinions about it anyway. But
Speaker 1: what did strike me when I started watching the highlights is,
Speaker 1: you know, this is a very physical league. You know,
Speaker 1: so many people complain about the NBA now as the
Speaker 1: league is soft and they don't play like they did
Speaker 1: like the Knicks did in the nineties with Oak and
Speaker 1: with all Mason and all those guys. And then you
Speaker 1: see this physical league and now they're saying, hey, why
Speaker 1: so physical? And I guess I'm struggling to understand. Is
Speaker 1: it because so many new fans are being introduced to
Speaker 1: this who don't have the context, bingo.
Speaker 3: Nail that you can you can have a talk show.
Speaker 1: Let's go get out. Let's do it. I nailed. Let's
Speaker 1: do the first take.
Speaker 3: First take a kidding? Is that? Yes? Right? And listen again?
Speaker 4: And I am by no means gonna be naive to
Speaker 4: the popularity of Kaitlyn Clark, but there is a contingent
Speaker 4: that followed her. And if let's expand it out to
Speaker 4: bigger other women's college programs that have been terrific South Carolina, LSU,
Speaker 4: we'll just go with those three Stanford if you will, right,
Speaker 4: if you've only watched the college game for however long
Speaker 4: and not follow the WNBA, you don't know that not
Speaker 4: only are these one hundred and forty four of the
Speaker 4: best women basketball players.
Speaker 1: In the world, most of them in their offseason, they're
Speaker 1: not kicking it.
Speaker 4: They're in Europe playing in leagues that are arguably even
Speaker 4: more physical, and so the brand of basketball just has
Speaker 4: a level of toughness. Now to me, I think the
Speaker 4: part of this conversation John that has been daunting for
Speaker 4: me is sports is about competing.
Speaker 3: It is literally the foundation we need to score.
Speaker 4: We got to compete, and in the conversation around how
Speaker 4: we navigate the attention on the women's game, somewhere in there,
Speaker 4: competition should be watered down to protect the asset.
Speaker 1: Yeah, now that's but you know in your heart, there
Speaker 1: is another layer of conversation right going on beneath this
Speaker 1: that has been introduced onto the stage, and that is, Look,
Speaker 1: we all know everything that underlines society in many ways
Speaker 1: goes along race, class and gender, and race, class and
Speaker 1: gender has entered the conversation in a very large way.
Speaker 4: And I think what is interesting, And I'm hoping that
Speaker 4: more folks are like, yo, this basketball is great, Like
Speaker 4: I want to learn more about these women. Race, culture,
Speaker 4: gender are things that the women of the WNBA have
Speaker 4: never shied away from. Right, a part of the bubble
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty, they impact the election that goes down
Speaker 4: in Georgia in terms of standing on their values.
Speaker 3: Right, But if we have a conversation about the societal.
Speaker 4: Totem pole, if you will, black women, a large representation
Speaker 4: of queer women, like these are all things that sit
Speaker 4: at intersectional identities. That just opened up your show talking
Speaker 4: about valuing these things.
Speaker 1: That's exactly.
Speaker 4: And so there are all these isms that have made
Speaker 4: the WNBA beautiful for twenty eight years, including this season,
Speaker 4: and even the WNBA has had to have its arc
Speaker 4: in terms of growth and leaning into who they are
Speaker 4: are and who these women are both on and.
Speaker 3: Off the court. But it is at the base of it.
Speaker 3: If we fir a second, can take all that out.
Speaker 3: You really about to tell women how to compete. And
Speaker 3: you just got here right well were doing.
Speaker 1: And what's so amazing about it is what I have
Speaker 1: heard from some of the commentary are people who just
Speaker 1: got there saying this is so unfair to the sweet
Speaker 1: white girl. Now, first of all, Kaitlyn Clark looks like
Speaker 1: a competitor. She looks like somebody who's really a competitor.
Speaker 1: But the odd part is, I'm always interested in this
Speaker 1: idea that sports exist outside of the fault lines of
Speaker 1: regular society, and isn't a reflection of those things and
Speaker 1: a continuation in some respects of those battles.
Speaker 4: That existence is for probably like twenty percent of men's sports.
Speaker 4: And then you got to deal with race, and then
Speaker 4: there's other things that you got to deal with. But
Speaker 4: like we said, women's sports sits right in the midst
Speaker 4: of all of that. We could be not talking about basketball,
Speaker 4: and we got plenty of women's issues that we know
Speaker 4: have our country on fire, right, and so I think
Speaker 4: it's a beautiful time. And I don't think anybody that
Speaker 4: is a part of this league or has covered this league. Sure,
Speaker 4: we lament kind of keeping this little thing that we love,
Speaker 4: to protect it from all of the noise, right, but
Speaker 4: in the same breath, the eyeballs and the visibility and
Speaker 4: the growth is better for all involved.
Speaker 3: I mean, frankly, John, like Gayln Clark got me here, right,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, And it's not true.
Speaker 1: So let me tell you this. So I am going
Speaker 1: to tell you this. The viral moment maybe brought you
Speaker 1: to some national attention. I have been loving what you do.
Speaker 1: You are such a good basketball analyst and announcer. I've
Speaker 1: been following you on the New York Dates, you and Okee.
Speaker 1: Some of my favorite moments.
Speaker 3: Are the two of you, the battle Keeper my partner
Speaker 3: play play.
Speaker 1: By play guy. I mean, you're so knowledgeable. I love basketball.
Speaker 1: I've been following the Knicks for one hundred and thirty years,
Speaker 1: all right, yep. I was in the stands in Madison
Speaker 1: Square Garden at the very top of it when they
Speaker 1: played the Celtics in double overtime. When they won the
Speaker 1: championship in seventy two, and that against the Celtics when
Speaker 1: it looks like A, I've loved it for a long time.
Speaker 1: Your voice, your knowledge, your passion has cut through it.
Speaker 1: For me. It's very rare that I turn on the
Speaker 1: radio or hear a new voice and go, oh, that
Speaker 1: person they can explain this to me, and you really do.
Speaker 1: You're a wonderful I wholeheartedly that's how you got here. Okay,
Speaker 1: by the way, I'd have had you on every day
Speaker 1: during the playoffs?
Speaker 3: Oh wow, yeah, guy, we had fun.
Speaker 1: Is there some sense of like a little bit of
Speaker 1: like when an indie band hits it big? Are there
Speaker 1: people within the w NBA community who feel like, I
Speaker 1: don't want this to belong to everybody. I want it
Speaker 1: to belong to this band of sisters that have worked
Speaker 1: so hard to make it something. WHOA.
Speaker 4: I have had that moment a few times because as
Speaker 4: much as the conversation has been dictated by the audience, right,
Speaker 4: we still haven't really sat up and talked about the
Speaker 4: actual basketball.
Speaker 1: Love it, John.
Speaker 3: I don't know how many.
Speaker 4: People just join the WNBA understand that the Las Vegas
Speaker 4: aces are chasing down a three p which hasn't been
Speaker 4: done since the formative years of the league. In the
Speaker 4: Houston comments, I don't know how many people how many
Speaker 4: people know that the Connecticut Sun just lost their first
Speaker 4: game the other day.
Speaker 3: They were nine to notice start the season. Right, what
Speaker 3: names can I help introduce you to?
Speaker 4: I mean, if you pick up a rolling stone, Asia
Speaker 4: Wilson and Brandon Stewart are part of the next issue,
Speaker 4: I believe. And so we've opened the door, but we're
Speaker 4: still like looking in instead of walking in.
Speaker 3: If that makes if?
Speaker 1: I may absolutely rightoutely, and.
Speaker 3: So I think it's a really unique time.
Speaker 4: And even with this Olympic team stuff, right, Kaylen Clark,
Speaker 4: who you mentioned is a tremendous competitor, said herself, that's
Speaker 4: the toughest team to make.
Speaker 3: Not surprised.
Speaker 1: And she's a rookie. She's just coming out of Iowash.
Speaker 4: She can say that, and she can also feel as
Speaker 4: if something in her has been awoken in terms of
Speaker 4: making that a goal of her. Right, I would hope,
Speaker 4: and I know this is not a thing in sports.
Speaker 4: We got to remember that two things can be true.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 4: She's been great for the league, but there were one
Speaker 4: hundred and forty four women prior to her and this class, right,
Speaker 4: that have gotten this thing up to year twenty eight.
Speaker 1: Right, no question. And I think one of the difficulties
Speaker 1: of it is because it's a small league. I think
Speaker 1: people don't realize as small as the NBA is, there's
Speaker 1: still two rounds of a draft, and there are guys
Speaker 1: that get picked up out of a G league and
Speaker 1: there's space on a team. There's a big roster. When
Speaker 1: you're in the WNBA. Boy, there's just not that many teams,
Speaker 1: and you're talking about a draft even when it's eighty
Speaker 1: twelve d some of those people may not make the team.
Speaker 1: There's a women that have been playing the game for
Speaker 1: a very long time to that point.
Speaker 4: John likes the conversation about marketing. Yeah, sure, got it
Speaker 4: makes sense, right, But there's also got to be a
Speaker 4: realization that these women that have made this thing, they're living,
Speaker 4: they are not necessarily chasing the financial benefit the w
Speaker 4: Your highest played player is Max two hundred fifty.
Speaker 3: Thousand dollars, right, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: And so there is not how Brittney Grinder up in
Speaker 1: Russia she was playing overseas, because it doesn't make that
Speaker 1: that's exactly it.
Speaker 4: So many of these women supplement their income in the
Speaker 4: league that they play out of love, to play at
Speaker 4: home with their teammates in front of their families, and
Speaker 4: they go get their real money overseas.
Speaker 3: That is changing. I do think that this class and
Speaker 3: Clark is all a part of it changing.
Speaker 4: But I think just to slap on do this kind
Speaker 4: of the money again is disrespectful and unfair to the
Speaker 4: women that have gotten its lead to.
Speaker 1: This point as a broadcaster, in your story in some
Speaker 1: ways mirrors the story of the WNBA in terms of
Speaker 1: having to fight for attention with people who, in some
Speaker 1: respects are not particularly humble about their position and slightly
Speaker 1: defensive about those who may come at it from a
Speaker 1: different perspective. Do you see that reflected in how what
Speaker 1: you had to go through and your journey to get
Speaker 1: to the desk that you're at now, And does that
Speaker 1: give you hope for the WNBA's future.
Speaker 4: I'm first of all rolled about the WNBA's future. And yes, right,
Speaker 4: I didn't go to the WNBA, but I played sports
Speaker 4: all the way through college. Shout out to my Georgetown hoyas, right,
Speaker 4: And so that foundation, that base, that understanding hard work, improvement,
Speaker 4: that understanding of competition, all of those things have helped
Speaker 4: me to be able to stand ten toes down in
Speaker 4: these various rooms, in these various conversations.
Speaker 1: Right, It's intimidating, it is.
Speaker 4: And in the same breath, the people that I'm having
Speaker 4: conversations with, whether they are well established television personalities or
Speaker 4: former athletes, they have done the same in their own way.
Speaker 3: Right. But it is a reminder because of.
Speaker 4: My background in sports, shout out to keeping young girls
Speaker 4: in sports For this exact reason, I too can be
Speaker 4: confident in the work that I've done to get to
Speaker 4: this place and for.
Speaker 3: Me that has been beautiful.
Speaker 1: Who that is beautiful? And it really brings up the
Speaker 1: intersome question, who does have the worst takes?
Speaker 3: He ain't given day?
Speaker 1: He ainy given to day? All right, final question. I
Speaker 1: am an Enormousknicks fan. Yes, we know, and I want
Speaker 1: desperately to know if what I'm seeing if the love
Speaker 1: that I'm feeling. I have opened my heart again, you know, Monica,
Speaker 1: it's been so long. Thank you so much. I've opened
Speaker 1: up my heart again to a basketball team. I never
Speaker 1: thought it would happen again.
Speaker 3: I'm proud of you. I'm so proud of you. That
Speaker 3: was a big move.
Speaker 1: But Monica, I have to tell you something. I'm afraid
Speaker 1: to be hurt and will will the Knicks hurt me?
Speaker 3: Life is full of That was a hesitation.
Speaker 1: That was not That was a hesitation. I want them
Speaker 1: to be great.
Speaker 3: I look, I think they are on the right track.
Speaker 1: All right, But you got to play the games. That's
Speaker 1: why we go to them. And I don't want to
Speaker 1: be in sad meme anymore, which is always what happens
Speaker 1: when I'm at the games. Monica. What a delight to
