Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central.
Speaker 2: M from the most trusted journalists. At Comedy Central, It's
Speaker 2: America's only source for news. Here's the Daily Show with
Speaker 2: your host, my Goel Costa.
Speaker 1: Welcome to another show. I'm Michael Cossa.
Speaker 3: Wow, hop croud.
Speaker 1: We've got some much to talk about to night. The
Speaker 1: had of Social.
Speaker 4: Security learns what social Security is, Tulca Gabber tries to
Speaker 4: turn terror threats into mussy TV, and racism joins the
Speaker 4: Mile High Club. So let's check in with the best
Speaker 4: cabinet ever in another installment of The Worst Wing, What.
Speaker 1: A Bunch of Losers.
Speaker 4: One of the most heartwarming stories at the Trump administration
Speaker 4: so far has been the beautiful friendship between Donald Trump
Speaker 4: and Elon Musk, two men who had previously never had
Speaker 4: a friend.
Speaker 1: But today that friendship got doged.
Speaker 5: You're gonna want to hear about this breaking moments ago
Speaker 5: Elon Musk speaking out in a big way on the
Speaker 5: Big Beautiful Bill. He took extra short time ago write
Speaker 5: in quote, I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore.
Speaker 5: This massive, outrageous, pork filled congressional spending bill is a
Speaker 5: disgusting abomination, shame on those who voted for it.
Speaker 1: You know you did wrong.
Speaker 4: You know it, Jameson, Oh no, not my two favorite
Speaker 4: people fighting.
Speaker 1: Don't make me choose who I love more.
Speaker 4: But Yes is worried that Trump's bill will raise the
Speaker 4: deficit too high. And when Elon is worried about something
Speaker 4: getting too high, you know it's too high.
Speaker 1: And he may be right, but Elon has to be careful.
Speaker 4: You come out that hard against Trump's central legislative achievement,
Speaker 4: you're going to be the first white person to get deported.
Speaker 4: But while you're shaming supporters of this bill, be sure
Speaker 4: to save a little shame for yourself. Elon, you're the
Speaker 4: one who spent two hundred and eighty eight million dollars
Speaker 4: getting Trump elected. You even showed whole to support them. Now,
Speaker 4: granted the whole was a belly button, but still whole
Speaker 4: is whole. So let's move on whole as whole. Let's
Speaker 4: move on to the Federal Emergency Management Agency or FEMA.
Speaker 1: If you're nasty.
Speaker 4: FEMA is always ready to come to the rescue no
Speaker 4: matter what sort of disaster that megabitch Mother Nature throws
Speaker 4: at us, like wildfires, tornadoes, shark natos, horny dolphin natos.
Speaker 1: Those are the worst.
Speaker 4: But it turns out not everyone at FEMA is as
Speaker 4: prepared as they should be.
Speaker 6: FEMA staff were apparently caught off guard on Monday when
Speaker 6: the disaster agency's new acting leader told them that he
Speaker 6: was previously unaware that the US had a hurricane season.
Speaker 4: The head of FEMA doesn't know what hurricane season is.
Speaker 4: I would expect Trump to hire someone who's not qualified
Speaker 4: to handle hurricanes, but to not even know when they come.
Speaker 4: I mean it's almost like Trump picks his cabinet the
Speaker 4: way you select a jury.
Speaker 1: Do you have any opinions on hurricanes? Have you ever
Speaker 1: heard of hurricanes?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 1: Great, you're hired.
Speaker 4: This guy's the head of the Emergency Management Agency. He
Speaker 4: doesn't know about hurricane season. There's only like three emergencies
Speaker 4: in life you really need to know. There's hurricanes, wildfires,
Speaker 4: and when you're taking out the garbage and it starts
Speaker 4: dripping from the bottom of the bag. Only life's emergencies.
Speaker 4: But if that comment freaks you out, you're not alone.
Speaker 4: The administration had to come out and say, ah, psych
Speaker 4: I was joking.
Speaker 6: A spell twitch for the Department of Homeland Security tell
Speaker 6: CNN that the comment was made in jest.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sure, it was a joke. It's a joke. You know.
Speaker 4: That reminds me of the time I as a joke
Speaker 4: shit my pants and it was so funny to do
Speaker 4: that on that airplane.
Speaker 1: Everyone was laughing and loving a.
Speaker 4: Let's say he was actually joking about being a total dumbass.
Speaker 4: That doesn't make it better. The head of FEMA is
Speaker 4: a serious job. I don't want my EMTs to be like, okay,
Speaker 4: you know, where do I push to make the heart
Speaker 4: beat again?
Speaker 1: Just kidding? I got it? Hey, wake up.
Speaker 4: So the head of FEMA is either an idiot who
Speaker 4: never heard of hurricane season or just an idiot. We
Speaker 4: may never know, but another new Trump and Pointe has
Speaker 4: been very clear about the fact that he has no
Speaker 4: no idea what he's doing. In a new audio recording,
Speaker 4: Social Security Commissioner Frank Bisignanu reveals that he had no
Speaker 4: idea what the job entailed when it was offered to him.
Speaker 4: It's about social security.
Speaker 7: There's Google and social security.
Speaker 4: You know, one of my great skills on my great
Speaker 4: googlers on the East Coast.
Speaker 7: Come on, what's a commissioner of Social Security?
Speaker 4: First of all, can you google how to clear your throat?
Speaker 4: I mean, I mean, how do you not know what
Speaker 4: the Commissioner of Social Security does? He's the one who
Speaker 4: you know, hands out the championship trophy at the end
Speaker 4: of the Social Security season.
Speaker 1: But yeah, you knew that. But don't worry.
Speaker 4: Don't worry because he's one of the great googlers. Now,
Speaker 4: not in the whole country, just the East coast, but
Speaker 4: that's still a big population area.
Speaker 1: It's pretty cool.
Speaker 4: That the guy who's in charge of a one point
Speaker 4: two trillion dollars agency is using the same tool I
Speaker 4: use to look up the name of the one black
Speaker 4: guy in Maroon five?
Speaker 1: What up page?
Speaker 4: Now at this point you might be asking yourself, does
Speaker 4: anyone in this cabinet even know what their job is? Well,
Speaker 4: based on what Education Secretary Linda McMahon has been up to,
Speaker 4: still know.
Speaker 3: Education Secretary Linda McMahon weighed in on Long Island's continuing
Speaker 3: mascot battle. She was in Massapequa yesterday. It's one of
Speaker 3: thirteen districts fighting to keep Native American school nicknames and mascots.
Speaker 3: The state says if the mascots are not changed by June,
Speaker 3: funds will be withheld, but McMahon says the band violates
Speaker 3: civil rights because names and mascots of other racial and
Speaker 3: ethnic groups are still allowed.
Speaker 6: We reserve the right to turn over this investigation to
Speaker 6: the Department of Justice, because that's how serious we are
Speaker 6: about there.
Speaker 4: Great use of your time, Education Secretary, China's schools are
Speaker 4: producing a mill engineers a minute. But it's okay because
Speaker 4: our students will know how to do the tomahawk chop.
Speaker 1: Look, we can't keep having.
Speaker 4: Endless disputes about Native American mascots, especially when every mascot
Speaker 4: in Philly is clearly addicted to cocaine. I mean, the fanatic.
Speaker 4: The fanatic is like perfectly designed anyways. Look, either we
Speaker 4: don't allow mascots at all anymore, or every mascot is
Speaker 4: an offensive ethnic stereotype.
Speaker 1: Including white people.
Speaker 4: How about that, you know, the drunken Irish, okay, the
Speaker 4: horny Italians, the emotionally unavailable British, that kind of thuff.
Speaker 1: The point is, when it comes to mascots.
Speaker 4: You can't make both liberals and conservatives happy unless all
Speaker 4: the Native American mascots are trans and then everybody gets
Speaker 4: something something. Now let's move on to Tulci Gabbert, Director
Speaker 4: of National intelligen and woman who gives snow White the
Speaker 4: poison apple and big.
Speaker 1: The audience loves. Tulci gabbers.
Speaker 4: She's in charge of the President's Daily Brief, which is
Speaker 4: where the intelligence agencies gather all the top secret information
Speaker 4: they need to go the president into a war with
Speaker 4: their ron. Excuse me, to defend our national interests. Of course,
Speaker 4: the problem with giving Donald Trump a PDB to read
Speaker 4: is that reading's not really a thing.
Speaker 8: From inauguration till the end of May, he had had,
Speaker 8: according to his public schedule, fourteen pdbs.
Speaker 1: Fourteen PDB since inauguration. What the hell? It's the daily Brief.
Speaker 4: Daily means you're supposed to get it every day, like
Speaker 4: we're the Daily Show and we're on the air four
Speaker 4: days a week.
Speaker 1: That's about. That's about exec that's about as president.
Speaker 4: Even President Biden had read ninety of them at this point,
Speaker 4: although to be fair it was really just forty five.
Speaker 4: They had to read them to him twice. But obviously
Speaker 4: the president not having a grasp of national security is
Speaker 4: a huge problem.
Speaker 1: But luckily Tausy Gabbett has a solution.
Speaker 9: Toulci Gabbard is considering bringing on a Fox News producer
Speaker 9: and a network personality to present the briefing, tailoring it
Speaker 9: to how the president actually prefers to consume information by
Speaker 9: watching Fox News.
Speaker 4: Look, I love how Trump's people are like, we gotta
Speaker 4: cut government spending, and also we need ten million dollars
Speaker 4: for a fake TV show because the president can't read. Now, obviously,
Speaker 4: converting the brief into a Fox News broadcast won't be easy.
Speaker 4: To make it realistic, you have to cast someone who's
Speaker 4: had sexual harassment allegations. Then you're going to need to
Speaker 4: find time for the three dozen ads for catheters. But still,
Speaker 4: at least Tulcy gabtt is thinking outside the box here,
Speaker 4: and finally we can get some Fox News people in
Speaker 4: the White House. Aside from the Secretary of Transportation and
Speaker 4: the Secretary of Defense and the borders, are the Deputy
Speaker 4: Director of the FBI, the Deputy Special Envoy for Middle
Speaker 4: East Peace, the Senior counsel to the Assistant Attorney General
Speaker 4: for Civil Rights, the US Attorney for the District of Columbia,
Speaker 4: the Ambassador to Greece. I missed my kid's birthday, but look,
Speaker 4: I'm glad that Tulci's trying something new although, knowing Donald Trump,
Speaker 4: there is one other format that might work better than
Speaker 4: imitating Fox News.
Speaker 10: Hello, miss a stepmom, I have an extra large package
Speaker 10: for you. Oh my, so big, almost as big as
Speaker 10: the recent rocket deployment in the Kashmiri region.
Speaker 1: Oh god, that's so dangerous. It couldn't mean war. No, seriously,
Speaker 1: people could die.
Speaker 11: We need to move assets out of the region and
Speaker 11: have a seal team on standby, ready to launch and encourage.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm about to launch an accursions so freaking deep.
Speaker 7: Let me get out of this hot robe.
Speaker 11: I think this area needs a little special attention. It's
Speaker 11: a real hot zone full of secretary and violence that
Speaker 11: threatens to explode without a meaningful peace process.
Speaker 10: That's not the only thing that's about to explode. Yeah,
Speaker 10: there's also reports of shahab too, short range holistic missions
Speaker 10: like this held by gorilla groups.
Speaker 7: Show me where there?
Speaker 1: Yes, about here?
Speaker 7: Yes?
Speaker 1: Right there?
Speaker 11: Yeah, right there, yes, Yes, we have reports of an
Speaker 11: ISIS sleeper.
Speaker 1: Cell in Dallas. Wait we're in Dallas.
Speaker 11: Oh no, I have to my hot steps on.
Speaker 4: Are weakme back if I know how to calm down
Speaker 4: White pass on planes the fall.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Daily Shows.
Speaker 4: Since taking office, President Trump has dismantled DEI because not
Speaker 4: only did it ruin the Little Mermaid, but it's been
Speaker 4: responsible for one hundred percent of all plane crashes.
Speaker 12: They want to put black women in the cockpit because
Speaker 12: they want to inspire more black women. Meanwhile, pay no
Speaker 12: attention to the planes plummeting towards the ocean or smashing
Speaker 12: into the runway, which is happening right now. If I
Speaker 12: see a black pilot, I'm going to be like, boy,
Speaker 12: I hope he's qualified.
Speaker 4: DEI diversity equity inclusion nonsense really should be called de
Speaker 4: die because lives are at risk.
Speaker 1: Or d.
Speaker 4: Or de for ADDY issues to the extreme, because.
Speaker 1: That's what I got Dad. If you see this, call me.
Speaker 4: But for those customers still nervous that diverse employees aren't
Speaker 4: qualified for the positions, a new service is here to
Speaker 4: ease their minds.
Speaker 13: Hey, Airlines, are your passengers uncomfortable with the look of
Speaker 13: your pilots EI, then you need White Flight, a revolutionary
Speaker 13: news service offering racial support pilots. Sign up and your
Speaker 13: diverse pilots will be given one of our white flight
Speaker 13: stand ins. Passengers will be reassured by a handsome Caucasian
Speaker 13: pilot with a penis. He'll give everyone peace of mind.
Speaker 1: Whoa a white pilot gave me a pig.
Speaker 13: When the flight begins, your white flight pilot will control
Speaker 13: his video game.
Speaker 1: Kick this out. I'm about to clear this level.
Speaker 13: Well, the actual pilots fly the plane.
Speaker 7: That's not easy.
Speaker 13: Need to make an announcement. Our special PA attachment will
Speaker 13: put your passengers at ease.
Speaker 1: Folks.
Speaker 7: This is your.

Speaker 13: to reassure you I can name all five members of
Speaker 13: the Dave Matthews Band.

Speaker 1: We're going to be okay.
Speaker 13: Upon landing, your passengers will feel relaxed and grateful.

Speaker 13: White flight. Racial support pilots also available in Firefighter, Boat, Captain,
Speaker 13: and surgeon.
Speaker 1: Don't worry. I'm a professional and he's out. You're up.
Speaker 1: Good luck with all the blood and gut stuff. Dame
Speaker 1: this Parkile, join me on the show. That's all that.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the show.
Speaker 4: My guest tonight is a three time w NBA champion,
Speaker 4: a two time Olympic gold medalist, and sports commentator. Her
Speaker 4: new book is called The Can Do Mindset. Please welcome,
Speaker 4: Candace Parker.
Speaker 1: Don't you love hearing your stats?
Speaker 4: Don't you love that three time WNBA NCAA Champion League MVP?
Speaker 4: I mean, how much of that is the can do mindset?
Speaker 4: How much of that is just you're really good at basketball?
Speaker 8: Well, I'm grateful for my parents and instill in that
Speaker 8: mindset in me. But sometimes I have to tell people
Speaker 8: when they're like, man, can you believe you played basketball?
Speaker 8: I was like, well, I am six foot four, so.
Speaker 7: I was like, I think that had a little bit
Speaker 7: to do with it.
Speaker 8: But it's definitely where I come from, the mindset instilled
Speaker 8: in me as a kid. And I grew up with
Speaker 8: two older brothers that I idolize more than anything even now.
Speaker 8: So I'm just super grateful for that.
Speaker 4: You know, one of your nicknames growing up was can do?
Speaker 4: That sets you up for success? People used to call
Speaker 4: me Michael Pasta. What is that set me up?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 8: I have to give a nod to my mom. It's
Speaker 8: her birthday today, actually.
Speaker 13: Happy mom.
Speaker 8: And it's crazy growing up Candace Short can you know whatever,
Speaker 8: and then my mom extended it to can do because
Speaker 8: she saw, you know, sometimes I looked at the shadows
Speaker 8: of my brothers and was like a little bit overwhelmed.
Speaker 8: My older brothers of a professional NBA basketball player, played
Speaker 8: ten years, actually played with somebody you might know, Lebron
Speaker 8: James for a couple of years. And then my middle brother,
Speaker 8: he's like the black sheep of the family.
Speaker 7: He's a doctor.
Speaker 8: So I grew up with two older brothers that just
Speaker 8: from a very.
Speaker 7: Early age knew they wanted to be great.
Speaker 8: And so my mom would say, can do became my mantra,
Speaker 8: and it became something whether I was hitting big free
Speaker 8: throws or whether I was trying to ace a test,
Speaker 8: whatever it was, and so it just became something I
Speaker 8: would tell myself. And then in writing this book, it
Speaker 8: became an acronym community, authenticity, negativity, the dash, which is
Speaker 8: the journey and you know, seizing opportunity and creating it.
Speaker 1: I love this.
Speaker 4: I am glad you mentioned your siblings. I the youngest
Speaker 4: of four. My siblings are just such a foundational part.
Speaker 1: Of my life.
Speaker 4: And hearing you talk about why your older brothers have
Speaker 4: success in their mindset, I think more should be discussed
Speaker 4: about how important siblings are and that.
Speaker 1: Relationship with siblings can mean so much.
Speaker 4: And I assume they're still in your life and you're
Speaker 4: still supporting each other with the same level of enthusiasm.
Speaker 8: You know what's crazy is our family we grew up
Speaker 8: just supporting one another. And you know, being the youngest,
Speaker 8: like you have to fight for everything. I mean, like
Speaker 8: the last chicken wing on the table, you're fighting for
Speaker 8: whatever it was.
Speaker 7: But I wanted to be just like them.
Speaker 8: And as a little girl, I'm grateful for my parents
Speaker 8: not shrinking me because I was a girl, not telling
Speaker 8: me I couldn't do things because I was a girl,
Speaker 8: and as a result, I mean sometimes I tell the
Speaker 8: story in the book about how I was three. I
Speaker 8: went to the park. My brothers took their shirts off,
Speaker 8: and I took my shirt off.
Speaker 7: My dad was like my dad was like, you can't
Speaker 7: do that, and I was like, but it's can't.
Speaker 8: Do like I I can't do that, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4: You know, my brother would kick the shit out of me,
Speaker 4: but that if someone else said something negative about me, exactly,
Speaker 4: it was on And I still think about that even
Speaker 4: though I can kick his ass.
Speaker 7: Right you got the mic too.
Speaker 1: I got the I got the mic. You played in
Speaker 1: the WNBA for sixteen seasons. That's a lot you finished
Speaker 1: up last year.
Speaker 7: Long time, yeah, a long time.
Speaker 4: You know you're honest in this book, which I love.
Speaker 4: There's a lot of humor in this book as well.
Speaker 4: But one of the things that as a as a
Speaker 4: tennis player an enthusiast, hearing you talk about playing in
Speaker 4: the WNBA early on and it was sponsored by Holliday
Speaker 4: and Express and you're staying in Holiday and Expresses, and
Speaker 4: you're some of the games are being played in almost
Speaker 4: high school like gyms.
Speaker 1: It reminded me of Billy Jean King.
Speaker 4: And how much she fought for almost no money at
Speaker 4: the time, sacrificed her athletic ability and efforts. But now
Speaker 4: the women are getting huge money. Now it's not as
Speaker 4: necessar as much as the men. But how can we
Speaker 4: celebrate how far the WNBA has come and also still
Speaker 4: be eager to grow it.
Speaker 8: It's so interesting when I think society sometimes like limits growth,
Speaker 8: and for a long time we looked at women's sports
Speaker 8: as like a charity and it's not. And I think
Speaker 8: now people are seeing it as a business and as
Speaker 8: a result of the pioneers like the Billy Jean Kings
Speaker 8: and the Cheryl Millers and all of them. And so
Speaker 8: for me to look at the WNBA today, I think
Speaker 8: it's the game has grown, for sure, the players have
Speaker 8: become more skilled and it's more of a positionless basketball.
Speaker 8: But honestly, it's a visibility like now you can find it.
Speaker 8: You know the players, you identify with them, you root
Speaker 8: against your rival. Like I grew up a Bulls fan.
Speaker 8: I didn't like the Pistons because we didn't like them.
Speaker 8: That's just what it was, you know. And so I
Speaker 8: think now when you establish that you're able to fall
Speaker 8: in love with the stories, then that's where real growth happens.
Speaker 7: And we're seeing that in the WNBA now.
Speaker 4: Caitlin Clark, I think we looked it up today, is
Speaker 4: making seventy eight thousand dollars a year, which is insane
Speaker 4: because they're literally moving games to bigger venues because she's
Speaker 4: selling so many tickets.
Speaker 7: And that's up for my rookie years. Just up right,
Speaker 7: I see is that growth for my rookieyears.
Speaker 4: To tell you, in a few years when she's on
Speaker 4: the free market, that's going to be a huge contract.
Speaker 4: Are we gonna is the WNBA? Is it about to
Speaker 4: take off even more?
Speaker 8: I'll say this in five years, I truly believe. I'll
Speaker 8: say five to ten, I think there will be a
Speaker 8: WNBA franchise that will be worth a billion dollars.
Speaker 1: I love that. That's great.
Speaker 4: You used to have to go play overseas to make
Speaker 4: more money. That's a very common endeavor that all players
Speaker 4: would have to do, or it was.
Speaker 8: Now because of leagues like unrivaled, players are able to
Speaker 8: stay home. But I played six years in Russia, I
Speaker 8: played two years in China, and I played one year
Speaker 8: in Turkey. I mean my daughter, I had my daughter
Speaker 8: when I was twenty three years old, so we've kind
Speaker 8: of grown up together. And with that being said, the
Speaker 8: world has been her playground. So she went to school
Speaker 8: in Russia.
Speaker 1: I mean our Russian's huge basketball fans.
Speaker 8: I mean, what's crazy is the number one club over there.
Speaker 8: I mean we had chefs, we had drivers, we had
Speaker 8: we flew private we had I mean, these diamonds are
Speaker 8: from Russia.
Speaker 1: There we go.
Speaker 7: But it's one of those things.
Speaker 8: It's one of those things where basketball over there is
Speaker 8: a big deal, and you know they were able to
Speaker 8: kind of drive the game forward because they were able
Speaker 8: to pay the type of contracts that I think the
Speaker 8: players deserved.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think enough.
Speaker 4: I'm really thankful in the book you have a lot
Speaker 4: of pictures of you in a cast, yes, and you
Speaker 4: also have this great head to toe picture of and
Speaker 4: a listing of all your different injuries, including total foot
Speaker 4: reconstructive surgery. I don't think enough people watching at home
Speaker 4: as we eat potato chips, watching our athlete and criticizing
Speaker 4: them to understand the physical toll that our bodies take.
Speaker 4: Excuse me, real professional athletes body stead. The reason I
Speaker 4: was about to say it was you talk about how
Speaker 4: your kids know that mommy has bad knees.
Speaker 1: Yes, and my daughters know that my back is bad.
Speaker 1: But I don't have a gold medal to point too.
Speaker 4: Talk a little bit about the physical toll and how
Speaker 4: are we doing now?
Speaker 7: Oh my goodness. Yeah.
Speaker 8: Ten knee surgeries, two foot surgeries, one shoulder surgery.
Speaker 7: So I've had my fair share of injuries.
Speaker 8: And I'll say this, I think the toll it takes
Speaker 8: to play at a high level.
Speaker 7: I always look at.
Speaker 8: The years, but really, to me, it's the mileage, right,
Speaker 8: And I think. You know, every athlete knows that feeling
Speaker 8: of getting out of the bed mid season. And to
Speaker 8: be honest with you, the reason why I retired. I
Speaker 8: was going to try to come and come back and
Speaker 8: play a seventeenth year. But the reason I retired was
Speaker 8: just because it was I was like activating to activate,
Speaker 8: you know, like you wake up and you're like, okay,
Speaker 8: I gotta get out of bed, I gotta stretch. Okay,
Speaker 8: then I gotta go to practice, but you got to
Speaker 8: activate to then do the pre practice and the cold
Speaker 8: tubs and things like that.
Speaker 7: And so it just got to be too much.
Speaker 8: And so my kids now will look at my scars,
Speaker 8: and you know, my daughter remembers, but my sons don't remember,
Speaker 8: and so they know Mommy's bad. You know, got a
Speaker 8: bad back and can't do the swings at the park.
Speaker 8: But you know, overall, I'm you know, I'm healthy, and
Speaker 8: I keep trying to stay active.
Speaker 4: As an athlete at your level for so many years.
Speaker 4: You know, the public cares, the public sees your results.
Speaker 4: You win, you lose, It's on the ticker down below.
Speaker 4: But that's gone. Now, that's done now, And now, you know,
Speaker 4: is it hard to transition to nobody gives a shit
Speaker 4: about what you're.
Speaker 1: Doing day to day.
Speaker 8: True, Here's what I will say. I've had some amazing
Speaker 8: role models. I really would challenge anyone to love the
Speaker 8: game of basketball more than me. I think that I
Speaker 8: grew up in a city and I say that, and
Speaker 8: I evolved as a basketball player in Los Angeles. Seeing
Speaker 8: Kobe Bryant play, I think he might rival me in
Speaker 8: somebody that loved basketball more than me. And to watch
Speaker 8: him seamlessly transition into being an author, and you know,
Speaker 8: the time that he spent with his family, I think
Speaker 8: not only did he inspire me on the court and
Speaker 8: what he did between in between the lines, but off
Speaker 8: the court and how I wanted to kind of plan
Speaker 8: for the transition, because it really is like athletes die twice,
Speaker 8: it really is.
Speaker 4: But I mean you you, your competitiveness is unparalleled.
Speaker 8: It like now it's Domino's Like, I'm like, you bring
Speaker 8: it all the way back?
Speaker 7: Are you?
Speaker 1: Are you like dunking on your kids?
Speaker 8: Listen, I'm like smacking their shot.
Speaker 7: There's no easy layups.
Speaker 8: I'm like, I'm crazy on the peloton, like crazy on
Speaker 8: the peloton and pedals By almost.
Speaker 7: Got me the other day she did not get me.
Speaker 8: So it's just anything I can find competition in. I
Speaker 8: think my wife and kids are sick of me because
Speaker 8: it's like you want to play Domino's, you want to
Speaker 8: play spades, Like what are we doing?
Speaker 1: You want to They're a competitive void there.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I really need to sell that.
Speaker 4: Tom Brady retired for two weeks. He was a parent
Speaker 4: for two weeks, and he was.
Speaker 1: Like, I gotta go back to learn. Look.
Speaker 4: You you write beautifully about coaches in here, in particular
Speaker 4: your coach at Tennessee Pat Summit, And I would love
Speaker 4: if the rest of us can steal from you, or
Speaker 4: even steal from her, something that you could share with
Speaker 4: us that would help us all, something.
Speaker 1: That she instilled in you.
Speaker 4: And also not just Pat Summit, because there's there's other
Speaker 4: coaches and athletes lives that aren't just winning national championship.
Speaker 4: But please share your wisdom of all the coaches that
Speaker 4: you've worked with.
Speaker 8: Coach Summit was not only a coach, she was an
Speaker 8: educator and she was a leader of women. And I
Speaker 8: say that in I think we grew up. My family
Speaker 8: grew up. I'm with my parents always saying that bosses
Speaker 8: push and leaders pull. Leaders get to where they want
Speaker 8: their team to go, and they take them there. And
Speaker 8: Coach Summit never asked of us what she wouldn't do herself,
Speaker 8: and so I'm super grateful, even though she's passed on,
Speaker 8: to still be learning lessons from her. And it comes
Speaker 8: to life in everything I do, whether I'm parenting, whether
Speaker 8: I'm being a teammate.
Speaker 7: Working on television, whatever it is, it comes out how
Speaker 7: is a parent well as a parent? You know, we
Speaker 7: like to kids.
Speaker 1: Run suicides, but it doesn't seem to change their behavior.
Speaker 7: As a parent.
Speaker 8: We like to say a lot of things, but I
Speaker 8: really think they're watching, and so a role model really
Speaker 8: doesn't just it's not do as I say, it's do
Speaker 8: as I do. And so my daughter has allowed me
Speaker 8: the opportunity to look in the mirror and really, you know,
Speaker 8: have to hold true to some of the things I say,
Speaker 8: and Coach Summit was the best at that. I think
Speaker 8: it's what you do and how you honor someone. My
Speaker 8: youngest son is named after her. It's Heart Summit after Coach,
Speaker 8: And you know, my goal is to continue to keep
Speaker 8: her legacy alive because she was one of the greatest
Speaker 8: coaches male or female that has ever lived.
Speaker 1: I love the way you wrote about her.
Speaker 4: I heard in a different interview you did that one
Speaker 4: of the one of the things that you mentioned about
Speaker 4: Pat Summo was making eye contact. And it is wild
Speaker 4: that we have to learn that and instill that because man,
Speaker 4: some of the kids you talk to today it's you know,
Speaker 4: it's and I was like, Wow, that is some real
Speaker 4: ship right there. And I want to just say during
Speaker 4: this interview, we've had really strong iconry.
Speaker 1: I've done a great job.
Speaker 8: That is something that Coach Somemmer would be very proud of.
Speaker 8: But listen, if you didn't stare at her crystal blue eyes,
Speaker 8: you were running suicides. So I learned to look her
Speaker 8: in That fear.
Speaker 4: Is an important one. Thank you very much for coming.
Speaker 4: The can do mindset is available. Candy things, but right
Speaker 4: right back after day, you're the best week that's ourself
Speaker 4: with that before we go, are you not seeing yourself
Speaker 4: represented in your local government and take matters into your
Speaker 4: own hands and be the leader that you've been waiting for.
