1
00:00:01,011 --> 00:00:02,178
So, how many of you accidentally
2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:03,580
or purposefully eat
the sticker on the fruit?
3
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:04,748
Does anybody do that?
4
00:00:04,848 --> 00:00:05,982
'Cause this was
a big thing online.
5
00:00:06,082 --> 00:00:07,484
People were arguing
about whether or not
6
00:00:07,584 --> 00:00:10,186
you can eat the sticker
that they put on the fruit.
7
00:00:10,287 --> 00:00:11,755
And, like,
a lot of people are like,
8
00:00:11,855 --> 00:00:12,956
"Yeah, you're supposed
to eat it. It's edible."
9
00:00:13,056 --> 00:00:14,324
And then other people are like,
10
00:00:14,424 --> 00:00:15,926
"You should not be eating
stickers on the fruit."
11
00:00:16,026 --> 00:00:18,228
It was, like, a whole fight.
It was a whole fight.
12
00:00:18,328 --> 00:00:20,864
My thing was...
Really, there were two things.
13
00:00:20,964 --> 00:00:23,266
Number one, who are you
that you do not have time
14
00:00:23,366 --> 00:00:25,168
to, like, take a sticker
off of your fruit?
15
00:00:25,268 --> 00:00:28,004
What is happening in your life
that you're just like,
16
00:00:28,104 --> 00:00:29,406
"Oh, there's a sticker.
I don't have time."
17
00:00:29,506 --> 00:00:31,575
(imitates munching)
"I have to save lives."
18
00:00:31,675 --> 00:00:33,376
Like, who are you?
Take the time,
19
00:00:33,476 --> 00:00:35,378
look at the thing and peel it.
Do you know what I'm saying?
20
00:00:35,478 --> 00:00:37,747
It's like...
But then at the same time,
21
00:00:37,847 --> 00:00:39,115
there's also the people
who are like,
22
00:00:39,216 --> 00:00:40,483
"You can't eat a sticker.
23
00:00:40,584 --> 00:00:42,118
It is the worst thing
that'll happen."
24
00:00:42,219 --> 00:00:44,621
It's not the worst thing.
They're biodegradable.
25
00:00:44,721 --> 00:00:47,057
It's not good,
but it's not the worst thing.
26
00:00:47,157 --> 00:00:49,192
People gonna act
like hot dogs don't exist.
27
00:00:49,292 --> 00:00:51,261
You know what I...
If you eat hot dogs,
28
00:00:51,361 --> 00:00:52,629
I mean,
you're the kind of person
29
00:00:52,729 --> 00:00:54,030
who, like, looks at life
and just goes like,
30
00:00:54,130 --> 00:00:56,166
"Yeah, man, (bleep) around.
Let's find out."
31
00:00:56,266 --> 00:00:58,401
That's what a hot dog is.
32
00:00:58,501 --> 00:01:00,103
Do you know what I'm say...
You're just the kind of person
33
00:01:00,170 --> 00:01:01,338
who's just like, "Yeah."
34
00:01:01,438 --> 00:01:02,672
And it's, like,
a good combination
35
00:01:02,772 --> 00:01:04,808
of, like, threat
and, like, you know, security.
36
00:01:04,908 --> 00:01:06,610
'Cause the bread is, like...
We understand what bread is.
37
00:01:06,710 --> 00:01:08,378
And then the hot dog,
you're like, "Uh, let's see.
38
00:01:08,478 --> 00:01:10,113
"Let's see
what's going on, baby.
39
00:01:10,213 --> 00:01:11,882
I'm all about that life."
40
00:01:11,982 --> 00:01:14,317
But, I mean, I don't know
if you should eat the sticker,
41
00:01:14,417 --> 00:01:15,852
you know what I'm saying?
42
00:01:15,952 --> 00:01:17,621
I didn't know
you could eat the sticker
43
00:01:17,721 --> 00:01:19,122
until this argument, by the way.
44
00:01:19,189 --> 00:01:21,124
Till I saw this.
Then the New York Times
45
00:01:21,191 --> 00:01:22,626
did a piece on this.
46
00:01:22,726 --> 00:01:24,494
And then the FDA has stepped in.
47
00:01:24,594 --> 00:01:26,529
I was like,
"Wow. Of all the things
48
00:01:26,630 --> 00:01:28,431
the New York Times
could be doing."
49
00:01:28,531 --> 00:01:30,133
Yeah.
50
00:01:30,166 --> 00:01:31,968
It's weird to be, like,
in a newsroom,
51
00:01:32,135 --> 00:01:33,837
and there's just people
like that, you know?
52
00:01:33,937 --> 00:01:34,905
"What are you looking at?"
53
00:01:35,005 --> 00:01:36,172
"I'm looking at what's happening
54
00:01:36,273 --> 00:01:38,008
at the Russian border
with Ukraine."
55
00:01:38,141 --> 00:01:39,342
"What are you looking into?"
56
00:01:39,442 --> 00:01:41,511
"I'm investigating
these new vaccines."
57
00:01:41,611 --> 00:01:42,646
"And you?"
58
00:01:42,746 --> 00:01:45,148
"You guys notice
the sticker on fruit?
59
00:01:45,181 --> 00:01:47,150
"You think we should eat it
or not eat it?
60
00:01:47,183 --> 00:01:48,952
"I'm gonna do a...
I'm gonna do a 300...
61
00:01:49,052 --> 00:01:52,422
300-word article on this, guys.
We're all journalists here."
62
00:01:52,522 --> 00:01:55,158
(chuckles)
63
00:01:56,159 --> 00:01:59,029
Countdown to that person
writing a hit piece on me.
64
00:01:59,162 --> 00:02:02,098
Well-played,
New York Times journalist.
65
00:02:02,132 --> 00:02:05,936
"Why Trevor Noah is worse
than the stickers on fruit."
66
00:02:06,102 --> 00:02:08,438
Well-played.
67
00:02:08,538 --> 00:02:10,941
ANNOUNCER: Coming to you
from the heart of Times Square
68
00:02:11,107 --> 00:02:13,810
in New York City,
the only city in America,
69
00:02:13,910 --> 00:02:15,679
it's The Daily Show.
70
00:02:15,779 --> 00:02:19,482
Tonight,
anime can get you in trouble,
71
00:02:19,583 --> 00:02:21,885
marching bands are racist,
72
00:02:21,985 --> 00:02:24,754
and Dwyane Wade.
73
00:02:24,854 --> 00:02:29,226
This is
The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.
74
00:02:29,326 --> 00:02:31,127
Hey, what's going on, everybody?
75
00:02:31,228 --> 00:02:33,029
Welcome to The Daily Show.
I'm Trevor Noah.
76
00:02:33,129 --> 00:02:34,965
And joining me
for today's headlines
77
00:02:35,131 --> 00:02:37,267
is our very own Desi Lydic.
78
00:02:37,367 --> 00:02:38,935
-What's going on, Desi?
-Hey, Trevor.
79
00:02:39,035 --> 00:02:40,971
-How you doing? Yeah?
-I'm good. I'm good.
80
00:02:41,137 --> 00:02:42,872
I'm just, you know,
prepping for Thanksgiving,
81
00:02:42,973 --> 00:02:44,274
Getting ready.
82
00:02:44,374 --> 00:02:47,143
I'm not hosting this year,
which is a huge relief,
83
00:02:47,177 --> 00:02:48,879
but I am in charge
of the dressing,
84
00:02:48,979 --> 00:02:51,848
which is kind of
a huge responsibility.
85
00:02:51,948 --> 00:02:54,050
Dressing all of my uncles?
86
00:02:54,150 --> 00:02:55,785
(exhales)
87
00:02:55,886 --> 00:02:58,154
Finding clothes
for all 16 of them?
88
00:02:58,221 --> 00:02:59,723
That's... That's a lot.
89
00:02:59,823 --> 00:03:01,825
I think the dressing has...
90
00:03:01,925 --> 00:03:03,860
You know what, Desi?
Good for you.
91
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,963
By the way, do you know where
I can find a bunch of camo hats?
92
00:03:07,931 --> 00:03:09,299
No.
93
00:03:09,399 --> 00:03:11,201
No, I don't.
94
00:03:11,301 --> 00:03:12,936
Sorry, I took an edible
before I got here.
95
00:03:13,103 --> 00:03:14,938
I didn't know
I was gonna be on today.
96
00:03:15,105 --> 00:03:16,473
Well, that's fine, Desi.
97
00:03:16,573 --> 00:03:18,942
Just relax and breathe,
and we'll be... we'll be good.
98
00:03:19,109 --> 00:03:20,677
-Okay.
-Yeah.
99
00:03:20,777 --> 00:03:22,879
-You okay?
-Happy Thanksgiving.
100
00:03:22,979 --> 00:03:24,881
Happy Thanksgiving, Desi.
101
00:03:24,981 --> 00:03:26,683
You good?
102
00:03:26,783 --> 00:03:28,718
Hmm?
103
00:03:28,818 --> 00:03:30,787
Okay. We'll-we'll come back.
104
00:03:30,887 --> 00:03:32,923
-You shout if you need anything.
-Okay.
105
00:03:33,023 --> 00:03:35,926
All right, let's jump
right into today's headlines.
106
00:03:36,026 --> 00:03:38,161
♪ ♪
107
00:03:38,261 --> 00:03:39,496
We kick things off
108
00:03:39,596 --> 00:03:41,398
with today's
big basketball story.
109
00:03:41,498 --> 00:03:42,599
And, no, I'm not talking
110
00:03:42,699 --> 00:03:43,767
about everyone dunking
on the Eternals.
111
00:03:43,867 --> 00:03:46,303
I'm talking
about an iconic stadium
112
00:03:46,403 --> 00:03:49,372
that's taking on
a brand-new identity.
113
00:03:49,472 --> 00:03:51,908
After 22 years, Staples Center
in Downtown Los Angeles
114
00:03:52,008 --> 00:03:53,043
is getting a new name,
115
00:03:53,143 --> 00:03:54,377
and it's a real sign
of the times.
116
00:03:54,477 --> 00:03:55,712
Beginning Christmas day,
117
00:03:55,812 --> 00:03:57,314
the home of the Lakers,
Clippers and Kings
118
00:03:57,414 --> 00:04:00,116
will be known
as Crypto.com Arena.
119
00:04:00,217 --> 00:04:02,686
The cryptocurrency
trading platform reportedly paid
120
00:04:02,786 --> 00:04:05,188
more than $700 million
for the naming rights.
121
00:04:05,288 --> 00:04:07,857
NEWSMAN: The Lakers won six
championships in this building.
122
00:04:07,958 --> 00:04:09,993
The Sparks won three titles.
123
00:04:10,093 --> 00:04:11,561
The Clippers play here, too.
124
00:04:11,661 --> 00:04:13,630
You know, it'll be weird.
This is, uh...
125
00:04:13,730 --> 00:04:16,266
You know,
I grew up this being Staples
126
00:04:16,366 --> 00:04:18,635
and Staples being, you know,
the place to play
127
00:04:18,735 --> 00:04:20,103
and the place to be.
128
00:04:20,170 --> 00:04:22,939
It's kind of, like,
just stripping the history here.
129
00:04:23,106 --> 00:04:24,374
Well, I mean,
130
00:04:24,474 --> 00:04:27,110
I don't know if you need
to get that sentimental, Paul.
131
00:04:27,210 --> 00:04:28,712
You know, it's not like Staples
132
00:04:28,812 --> 00:04:30,814
is a sacred name
from the ancestors.
133
00:04:30,914 --> 00:04:33,783
It's a store where you buy
50 packs of binders
134
00:04:33,884 --> 00:04:35,285
even though you only need one.
135
00:04:35,385 --> 00:04:37,120
You know?
Then when you get home,
136
00:04:37,187 --> 00:04:38,555
you find out
they were the wrong size anyway.
137
00:04:38,655 --> 00:04:40,123
You don't need
to get that nostalgic about it.
138
00:04:40,223 --> 00:04:41,625
Like, it's a company.
139
00:04:41,725 --> 00:04:43,426
And if you do want
to get nostalgic, just wait.
140
00:04:43,526 --> 00:04:44,628
Just wait. I promise you, soon,
141
00:04:44,728 --> 00:04:46,763
we'll all get used
to Crypto.com Arena,
142
00:04:46,863 --> 00:04:49,032
and in 20 years
when they change that name
143
00:04:49,132 --> 00:04:50,834
to Nanobot X Arena or whatever,
144
00:04:50,934 --> 00:04:52,602
your kids will be upset
about that.
145
00:04:52,702 --> 00:04:55,839
"Back in my day, this stadium
wasn't about the latest fad.
146
00:04:55,939 --> 00:04:58,308
"It was about swapping
blockchain currencies
147
00:04:58,408 --> 00:05:00,944
"on a digital market exchange.
148
00:05:01,077 --> 00:05:02,913
"There was culture
attached to it.
149
00:05:03,079 --> 00:05:03,914
"You know?
150
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:05,181
NFTs."
151
00:05:05,282 --> 00:05:06,816
And, look, this shouldn't come
as a surprise,
152
00:05:06,917 --> 00:05:08,418
but anywhere a team
can advertise,
153
00:05:08,518 --> 00:05:10,086
they're gonna advertise. Right?
154
00:05:10,186 --> 00:05:12,556
The stadiums,
the jerseys, the court.
155
00:05:12,656 --> 00:05:14,858
They literally started showing
commercials during free throws.
156
00:05:14,958 --> 00:05:16,192
You realize that?
157
00:05:16,293 --> 00:05:18,995
We're two months away
from the NBA selling name rights
158
00:05:19,095 --> 00:05:20,897
to the score.
It's gonna be like...
159
00:05:20,997 --> 00:05:24,534
"And the game ends with a score
of 84 to Mountain Dew.
160
00:05:24,634 --> 00:05:26,369
"A big win for the Lakers.
161
00:05:26,469 --> 00:05:28,638
Or a big loss.
I can't tell what's happening."
162
00:05:28,738 --> 00:05:30,407
But, I mean,
can you blame the arena though?
163
00:05:30,507 --> 00:05:32,175
If people are offering you
a shitload of money
164
00:05:32,275 --> 00:05:34,110
to use their name, you do it!
165
00:05:34,211 --> 00:05:35,679
I mean, that's what I did.
166
00:05:35,779 --> 00:05:39,716
I sold my naming rights to a guy
named Trevor Noah for 40 bucks.
167
00:05:39,816 --> 00:05:40,917
What, you didn't know this?
168
00:05:41,017 --> 00:05:43,019
Come on.
Do I look like a Trevor?
169
00:05:43,119 --> 00:05:44,988
My real name is Bert Pakowski.
170
00:05:45,121 --> 00:05:46,790
(Lydic chuckles)
171
00:05:46,890 --> 00:05:48,892
I'm sorry,
I just can't stop picturing them
172
00:05:48,992 --> 00:05:50,660
removing the Staples logo
173
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,163
with one of those giant
staple removers.
174
00:05:53,263 --> 00:05:55,498
(laughing)
175
00:05:55,599 --> 00:05:57,834
Just a giant claw.
176
00:05:57,934 --> 00:06:00,170
Sorry, it-- The edible's
kicking in, I think. (chuckles)
177
00:06:00,270 --> 00:06:01,771
I need to know
what edibles these are.
178
00:06:01,871 --> 00:06:04,441
All right, let's move on
from sports to music
179
00:06:04,541 --> 00:06:06,810
and the woman that everyone
is talking about right now,
180
00:06:06,910 --> 00:06:08,078
Taylor Swift,
181
00:06:08,111 --> 00:06:09,679
pop star, songwriter
182
00:06:09,779 --> 00:06:11,882
and inventor of the color red.
183
00:06:11,982 --> 00:06:14,084
Personally, I love Taylor Swift.
184
00:06:14,117 --> 00:06:16,486
Huge fan. Really nothing bad
to say about her.
185
00:06:16,586 --> 00:06:19,155
But even if I had something bad
to say about her, I wouldn't.
186
00:06:19,256 --> 00:06:20,590
I wouldn't say it.
187
00:06:20,690 --> 00:06:23,293
Because Taylor Swift's fans
are super protective of her.
188
00:06:23,393 --> 00:06:25,428
Like-like, they're like one
of those old-fashioned dads
189
00:06:25,528 --> 00:06:27,898
with a shotgun who doesn't want
you to marry his daughter,
190
00:06:27,998 --> 00:06:30,300
'cause he wants to marry her.
191
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:31,968
You see, Taylor Swift
has been rerecording
192
00:06:32,102 --> 00:06:33,303
all of her old albums,
193
00:06:33,403 --> 00:06:35,872
which means
people are relistening
194
00:06:35,972 --> 00:06:38,608
to all of her old songs
about her famous exes
195
00:06:38,708 --> 00:06:42,112
and then getting mad
at those exes all over again
196
00:06:42,145 --> 00:06:43,580
on her behalf.
197
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,349
And while Taylor may be content
to address her old boyfriends
198
00:06:46,449 --> 00:06:48,752
with heartfelt lyrics
and songs that are--
199
00:06:48,852 --> 00:06:51,655
again, I want to stress this--
perfect in every way,
200
00:06:51,755 --> 00:06:54,491
some of her fans
are a lot less subtle.
201
00:06:54,591 --> 00:06:55,992
This is going a little too far.
202
00:06:56,126 --> 00:07:00,063
While Jake Gyllenhaal is taking
incoming fire from the Swifties,
203
00:07:00,163 --> 00:07:01,865
another one of Taylor's exes
204
00:07:01,965 --> 00:07:04,134
is being bombarded
with messages now.
205
00:07:04,234 --> 00:07:06,603
NEWSMAN: A user on Instagram
sent John Mayer
206
00:07:06,703 --> 00:07:08,705
a direct message, telling him...
207
00:07:12,208 --> 00:07:14,444
Mayer then responded
to the user,
208
00:07:14,544 --> 00:07:16,846
saying that he'd been getting
many messages like that
209
00:07:16,947 --> 00:07:19,449
over the past couple of days
and asking,
210
00:07:19,549 --> 00:07:21,384
"Do you really hope I die?"
211
00:07:21,484 --> 00:07:24,721
To which the user responded,
"OMG. What?
212
00:07:24,821 --> 00:07:27,390
I don't want you to die.
I'm sorry."
213
00:07:27,490 --> 00:07:29,726
The user apologized again
and admitted
214
00:07:29,826 --> 00:07:32,362
they didn't really think
Mayer would see the message.
215
00:07:32,462 --> 00:07:34,798
You see, people, this is
what I hate about social media--
216
00:07:34,898 --> 00:07:38,201
it makes people act shittier
than they actually are,
217
00:07:38,301 --> 00:07:40,003
which then makes us think
218
00:07:40,103 --> 00:07:42,806
that people are shittier
than they actually are.
219
00:07:42,906 --> 00:07:44,507
Because social media
makes us forget
220
00:07:44,608 --> 00:07:45,976
that we're all human beings.
221
00:07:46,109 --> 00:07:47,644
You know,
we just see that little avatar
222
00:07:47,744 --> 00:07:49,913
and then we all talk shit to
each other, but we're all human.
223
00:07:50,013 --> 00:07:52,549
Even celebrities
are real people. All of them!
224
00:07:52,649 --> 00:07:54,751
I mean, obviously
except Timothée Chalamet.
225
00:07:54,851 --> 00:07:56,686
He's got to be CGI.
No one can be that good-looking.
226
00:07:56,786 --> 00:07:58,622
I mean,
just look at that person.
227
00:07:58,722 --> 00:08:00,857
Now I'm craving spice. Goddamn.
228
00:08:00,957 --> 00:08:03,493
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm.
229
00:08:03,593 --> 00:08:05,962
And I know her fans are like...
230
00:08:06,062 --> 00:08:08,531
"But he hurt her.
Listen to her song."
231
00:08:08,632 --> 00:08:11,768
Yes. That's all you're supposed
to do-- listen to the song.
232
00:08:11,868 --> 00:08:14,704
You know, Taylor Swift writes
songs to express her emotions
233
00:08:14,804 --> 00:08:17,374
in a way
that touches other people,
234
00:08:17,474 --> 00:08:20,176
not to order a hit
on her ex-boyfriends.
235
00:08:20,277 --> 00:08:21,778
So death threats
are not the way to go,
236
00:08:21,878 --> 00:08:23,146
especially with someone
like John Mayer.
237
00:08:23,246 --> 00:08:24,548
Don't-don't send him
death threats.
238
00:08:24,648 --> 00:08:26,349
He gets them all the time.
239
00:08:26,449 --> 00:08:27,717
If you really want to upset him,
240
00:08:27,817 --> 00:08:30,086
tell him that Ed Sheeran is
a better guitar player.
241
00:08:30,186 --> 00:08:31,821
-That's gonna hit his heart.
-(chuckles)
242
00:08:31,922 --> 00:08:33,123
You know,
it's-it's weird how people get--
243
00:08:33,223 --> 00:08:34,891
like, they're so hateful
on the Internet, Desi.
244
00:08:34,991 --> 00:08:36,226
Yeah. I know. It's bad.
245
00:08:36,326 --> 00:08:38,094
But if you think
John Mayer's DMs are rough,
246
00:08:38,161 --> 00:08:40,564
you should see the DMs
of any woman on the Internet.
247
00:08:40,664 --> 00:08:41,598
-Really?
-Yeah.
248
00:08:41,698 --> 00:08:42,732
It's either death threats
249
00:08:42,832 --> 00:08:45,101
or requests to see your feet.
250
00:08:45,135 --> 00:08:47,103
-Every time.
-Like-like, just your feet feet?
251
00:08:47,137 --> 00:08:49,239
Yeah. Just your feet.
252
00:08:49,339 --> 00:08:50,340
-Or a death threat.
-Huh.
253
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:51,775
One of the two.
254
00:08:51,875 --> 00:08:54,244
-Wow. -It's either, like,
"Why are women in Star Wars?"
255
00:08:54,344 --> 00:08:56,813
Or "Send me a picture
of your feet."
256
00:08:58,748 --> 00:09:00,617
-That's really intense.
-Yeah.
257
00:09:00,717 --> 00:09:03,687
-Yeah. -I know they're both bad,
but which one do you prefer?
258
00:09:05,121 --> 00:09:06,156
(sputters)
259
00:09:06,256 --> 00:09:08,225
Well, I'm pretty proud
of my feet,
260
00:09:08,325 --> 00:09:09,359
so...
261
00:09:09,459 --> 00:09:12,062
I got no problem
sending foot pics.
262
00:09:12,162 --> 00:09:14,364
A-Again, bad.
I just wondered which one.
263
00:09:14,464 --> 00:09:16,099
Have you ever requested
a foot pic?
264
00:09:16,199 --> 00:09:17,867
No. No.
265
00:09:17,968 --> 00:09:21,304
Wow, look who's a gentleman.
266
00:09:21,404 --> 00:09:23,573
I think "normal" is the phrase
you were looking for, maybe.
267
00:09:23,673 --> 00:09:25,709
Well, okay. It all depends.
268
00:09:25,809 --> 00:09:27,577
-Yeah.
-No, but, to be totally fair,
269
00:09:27,677 --> 00:09:29,913
it is completely inappropriate
270
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,082
for anyone to send
a death threat on the Internet.
271
00:09:32,115 --> 00:09:33,950
-Okay.
-It's-it's not cool.
272
00:09:34,084 --> 00:09:36,219
-I agree. -You got to do it
the old-school way.
273
00:09:36,319 --> 00:09:40,223
You know, you got to, like,
cut out from the magazine.
274
00:09:40,323 --> 00:09:42,192
This is the real way to do it.
275
00:09:44,527 --> 00:09:45,862
That is better than a DM?
276
00:09:45,962 --> 00:09:47,330
-Yeah.
-Still not good.
277
00:09:47,430 --> 00:09:48,565
Yeah.
278
00:09:48,665 --> 00:09:52,202
I always have this with me,
just in case.
279
00:09:52,302 --> 00:09:53,470
I don't even know who it's for,
280
00:09:53,570 --> 00:09:55,338
but it takes so long to do it
that I figure,
281
00:09:55,438 --> 00:09:56,940
by the time I'm done,
I'll figure it out.
282
00:09:57,107 --> 00:09:58,909
I'll be pissed at somebody.
283
00:10:00,110 --> 00:10:02,412
By the way, you're out of glue.
284
00:10:02,512 --> 00:10:04,447
Yeah, and all my magazines
have been destroyed.
285
00:10:04,548 --> 00:10:05,916
-Thank you, Desi.
-Yeah. No.
286
00:10:06,016 --> 00:10:09,486
-This is from your book cover.
-Oh. Well, thank you.
287
00:10:09,586 --> 00:10:12,489
I thought you wanted it signed
because you wanted to read it.
288
00:10:13,823 --> 00:10:15,025
You wrote that book?
289
00:10:15,125 --> 00:10:16,927
Yeah, I-I did. I-I wrote it.
290
00:10:17,027 --> 00:10:18,562
All right, let's-let's move on
to the big story
291
00:10:18,662 --> 00:10:19,863
from Washington today.
292
00:10:19,963 --> 00:10:22,365
Last week,
Arizona congressman Paul Gosar
293
00:10:22,465 --> 00:10:27,003
tweeted an anime video of him
chopping off AOC's head, right?
294
00:10:27,103 --> 00:10:28,972
Easily
the most disturbing cartoon
295
00:10:29,072 --> 00:10:30,974
since that Family Guy
fan fic porn
296
00:10:31,074 --> 00:10:33,176
I accidentally watched
seven times.
297
00:10:33,276 --> 00:10:34,878
Brian has stamina.
298
00:10:34,978 --> 00:10:38,048
And Democrats were so furious
about this video,
299
00:10:38,148 --> 00:10:41,451
that today,
they voted to censure Gosar
300
00:10:41,551 --> 00:10:43,720
and kick him off
of his committees,
301
00:10:43,820 --> 00:10:47,824
the first member of Congress
to be censured in over a decade.
302
00:10:47,924 --> 00:10:49,392
Yeah, it's pretty bad.
303
00:10:49,492 --> 00:10:53,163
But Gosar-- well, he seemed
to take it as a badge of honor.
304
00:10:53,263 --> 00:10:56,700
I rise today to address and
reject the mischaracterization,
305
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,469
accusations
from many in this body
306
00:10:59,569 --> 00:11:02,872
that the cartoon from my office
is dangerous or threatening.
307
00:11:02,973 --> 00:11:05,008
If I must join
Alexander Hamilton,
308
00:11:05,108 --> 00:11:07,744
the first person attempted
to be censured by this House,
309
00:11:07,844 --> 00:11:10,480
so be it. It is done.
310
00:11:10,580 --> 00:11:13,617
Uh, yeah, I... I don't know
311
00:11:13,717 --> 00:11:16,119
if this makes you the same
as Alexander Hamilton.
312
00:11:16,186 --> 00:11:17,487
You know, this is like...
this is like
313
00:11:17,587 --> 00:11:19,189
Jeffrey Epstein's girlfriend
taking the stand like,
314
00:11:19,289 --> 00:11:20,924
"If I must be tried in court
315
00:11:21,024 --> 00:11:23,126
just as Jesus was,
then so be it."
316
00:11:23,226 --> 00:11:24,928
"No, no, lady, lady,
it's the same process,
317
00:11:25,028 --> 00:11:26,730
but these are
very different crimes."
318
00:11:26,830 --> 00:11:31,167
Now the fact is that this
didn't surprise anybody, right?
319
00:11:31,268 --> 00:11:33,603
Seeing something like this from
Paul Gosar is not surprising,
320
00:11:33,703 --> 00:11:36,706
because over the years, Gosar
has made a name for himself
321
00:11:36,806 --> 00:11:39,409
as possibly
the most controversial person
322
00:11:39,509 --> 00:11:40,777
in all of Congress.
323
00:11:40,877 --> 00:11:42,245
Which is actually
pretty impressive,
324
00:11:42,345 --> 00:11:43,780
when you think about it.
325
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,849
So, let's talk
about what makes Gosar
326
00:11:45,949 --> 00:11:47,784
one of Congress's
most extreme extremists
327
00:11:47,884 --> 00:11:49,986
in another installment
of Fringe-Watching.
328
00:11:50,153 --> 00:11:53,490
♪ ♪
329
00:11:53,590 --> 00:11:57,694
Paul Gosar was first elected
to Congress back in 2010,
330
00:11:57,794 --> 00:11:59,729
riding the wave
of the Tea Party,
331
00:11:59,829 --> 00:12:02,732
the movement that pretended
to care about the national debt,
332
00:12:02,832 --> 00:12:05,201
but only
while Obama was in office.
333
00:12:05,302 --> 00:12:06,670
(whispering):
He's Black.
334
00:12:06,770 --> 00:12:09,739
And like many Tea Partyers
who were elected that year,
335
00:12:09,839 --> 00:12:11,541
he didn't come
from a career in politics.
336
00:12:11,641 --> 00:12:14,744
No, he was a dentist,
which as far as he's concerned,
337
00:12:14,844 --> 00:12:17,380
is all the experience
a congressman needs.
338
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,217
I was a dentist, and so every
patient that walks in my office,
339
00:12:20,317 --> 00:12:22,152
I have to be prepared
for an emergency.
340
00:12:22,252 --> 00:12:24,588
I'm a dentist,
so science is a big deal to me.
341
00:12:24,688 --> 00:12:27,123
As a dentist, I love the KISS
theory-- keep it simple, stupid.
342
00:12:27,224 --> 00:12:29,125
By the way, I'm a dentist, okay,
343
00:12:29,226 --> 00:12:32,362
so I read body language
very, very well.
344
00:12:32,462 --> 00:12:34,564
Okay, half of those
didn't even make sense.
345
00:12:34,664 --> 00:12:36,032
He was just adding
"as a dentist"
346
00:12:36,132 --> 00:12:37,500
to the beginning
of unrelated thoughts.
347
00:12:37,601 --> 00:12:38,969
Yo, I'm a dentist,
348
00:12:39,135 --> 00:12:41,271
so can I get this dry cleaning
back on Tuesday?
349
00:12:41,371 --> 00:12:42,639
I'm a dentist.
350
00:12:42,739 --> 00:12:43,773
No, you're not currently
a dentist.
351
00:12:43,873 --> 00:12:45,141
You're working at another job.
352
00:12:45,242 --> 00:12:46,543
You can't just use
your previous job at this job.
353
00:12:46,643 --> 00:12:47,911
"I'm a dentist."
354
00:12:48,011 --> 00:12:49,512
"Would you like, uh,
number two, as well, with that?"
355
00:12:49,613 --> 00:12:51,948
And look, I agree being
a dentist is the perfect job
356
00:12:52,048 --> 00:12:53,516
to prepare you
for being in Congress, you know?
357
00:12:53,617 --> 00:12:54,818
Since you already have tons
of experience
358
00:12:54,918 --> 00:12:56,353
with people hating you.
359
00:12:56,453 --> 00:12:58,889
But it turns out, there was
one part of being a dentist
360
00:12:58,989 --> 00:13:01,825
that Gosar did bring
to Congress-- teeth whitening.
361
00:13:01,925 --> 00:13:03,460
Except,
instead of whitening teeth,
362
00:13:03,560 --> 00:13:05,528
he's trying to whiten America.
363
00:13:05,629 --> 00:13:06,730
NICOLLE WALLACE:
"Few Republicans
364
00:13:06,830 --> 00:13:07,964
"have been more linked
365
00:13:08,098 --> 00:13:09,332
"to extremist groups
that Mr. Gosar.
366
00:13:09,432 --> 00:13:11,635
"'He's been involved
with anti-Muslim groups
367
00:13:11,735 --> 00:13:12,936
and hate groups.'"
368
00:13:13,103 --> 00:13:15,972
In 2018, he dined
with an extremist
369
00:13:16,106 --> 00:13:17,707
anti-Muslim Belgian politician
370
00:13:17,807 --> 00:13:20,877
at a London event organized
by Steve Bannon.
371
00:13:20,977 --> 00:13:23,313
And last month,
he tweeted, then deleted
372
00:13:23,413 --> 00:13:26,316
a reportedly
neo-Nazi-themed video.
373
00:13:26,416 --> 00:13:29,119
WALLACE: Gosar has aligned
himself closely with leaders
374
00:13:29,152 --> 00:13:31,187
of white nationalists
and extremist groups,
375
00:13:31,288 --> 00:13:34,024
people like Nick Fuentes,
the 22-year-old leader
376
00:13:34,124 --> 00:13:35,692
of the America First movement.
377
00:13:35,792 --> 00:13:38,261
"Other conservative
organizations have denounced him
378
00:13:38,361 --> 00:13:40,430
as a holocaust denier
and a racist."
379
00:13:40,530 --> 00:13:42,766
"The Arizona Republican was
the keynote speaker
380
00:13:42,866 --> 00:13:46,136
"at a conference hosted by
Mr. Fuentes's group in February,
381
00:13:46,236 --> 00:13:48,572
the only member of Congress
to participate."
382
00:13:48,672 --> 00:13:50,740
Congressman
Marjorie Taylor Greene,
383
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,743
along with Republican
congressman Paul Gosar,
384
00:13:53,843 --> 00:13:56,446
have been working
to create a new House caucus
385
00:13:56,546 --> 00:14:01,284
to help return America
to its "Anglo-Saxon roots."
386
00:14:01,384 --> 00:14:03,820
The document reads,
"America is a nation
387
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,623
"with a border
and a culture strengthened
388
00:14:06,723 --> 00:14:09,292
"by a common respect
for uniquely
389
00:14:09,392 --> 00:14:12,329
Anglo-Saxon
political traditions."
390
00:14:12,429 --> 00:14:15,398
You know, I always find it funny
how white supremacists want
391
00:14:15,498 --> 00:14:17,567
to take America back
to its roots.
392
00:14:17,667 --> 00:14:20,437
But not like
the original roots, you know?
393
00:14:20,537 --> 00:14:22,505
Just like the roots of when
white people were in charge.
394
00:14:22,606 --> 00:14:25,242
We need
to take this country back.
395
00:14:25,342 --> 00:14:27,477
To when Native Americans
were in charge?
396
00:14:27,577 --> 00:14:30,213
No, no, no, no, too far back.
Too far back.
397
00:14:30,313 --> 00:14:31,414
Go forward, go forward.
398
00:14:31,514 --> 00:14:32,482
Mm, to MLK?
399
00:14:32,582 --> 00:14:34,117
No, no, no, too far forward.
400
00:14:34,150 --> 00:14:35,352
Back, back, back.
Back, back, back.
401
00:14:35,452 --> 00:14:36,786
The Irish coming over?
402
00:14:36,887 --> 00:14:38,188
Stop. Perfect.
403
00:14:38,288 --> 00:14:39,689
Because let's be honest.
404
00:14:39,789 --> 00:14:42,492
That's what he means by
Anglo-Saxon traditions, right?
405
00:14:42,592 --> 00:14:44,027
Like, when he says that,
he's not talking
406
00:14:44,127 --> 00:14:47,264
about knights in armor
roaming the land on quests.
407
00:14:47,364 --> 00:14:49,532
Although, that-that would be
pretty cool.
408
00:14:49,633 --> 00:14:53,303
"People of Arizona, I'm off
to slay the mighty dragon
409
00:14:53,403 --> 00:14:55,005
as a dentist."
410
00:14:55,138 --> 00:14:57,807
Now the only thing that Gosar
loves more than whiteness
411
00:14:57,908 --> 00:15:00,710
is a really, really good
conspiracy theory.
412
00:15:00,810 --> 00:15:02,145
In fact he's claimed
413
00:15:02,245 --> 00:15:05,282
the Democrats stole
a Senate race in 2018,
414
00:15:05,382 --> 00:15:08,084
he's claimed that the neo-Nazi
rally in Charlottesville
415
00:15:08,151 --> 00:15:10,720
was a false-flag operation
secretly carried out
416
00:15:10,820 --> 00:15:14,658
by George Soros,
and he's claimed that the FBI
417
00:15:14,758 --> 00:15:17,994
was behind the Capitol riot
on January 6.
418
00:15:18,094 --> 00:15:21,264
And that last one is especially
weird, because one of the people
419
00:15:21,364 --> 00:15:26,636
who arguably was responsible
for January 6 was Paul Gosar.
420
00:15:26,736 --> 00:15:29,773
NEWSMAN: Arizona congressman
Paul Gosar firing up crowds
421
00:15:29,873 --> 00:15:32,709
with lies
about the election results.
422
00:15:32,809 --> 00:15:35,679
Imagine this,
that you go back home
423
00:15:35,779 --> 00:15:37,214
once we conquer the Hill,
424
00:15:37,314 --> 00:15:41,451
-Donald Trump is returned
to being president, -(cheering)
425
00:15:41,551 --> 00:15:44,921
and amazing things will happen
with four more years.
426
00:15:45,021 --> 00:15:47,390
NEWSWOMAN: In just the days
before the riot, he tweeted:
427
00:15:47,490 --> 00:15:50,227
Patriots, the time is now,
hold the line,
428
00:15:50,327 --> 00:15:52,762
join me in D.C. January 6.
429
00:15:52,862 --> 00:15:54,764
#FightForTrump.
430
00:15:54,864 --> 00:15:58,001
And in another he tweeted:
Sedition and treason
431
00:15:58,134 --> 00:16:01,338
for stealing votes
is appropriate.
432
00:16:01,438 --> 00:16:03,707
NEWSMAN: On the morning of the
seige, he would send followers
433
00:16:03,807 --> 00:16:07,244
this image,
stating "Biden should concede."
434
00:16:07,344 --> 00:16:09,479
He promptly went to Congress,
stood up
435
00:16:09,579 --> 00:16:13,884
and opposed the certification of
the electoral college results.
436
00:16:13,984 --> 00:16:17,487
I rise for myself and 60
of my colleagues to object
437
00:16:17,587 --> 00:16:21,725
to the counting of the
electoral ballots from Arizona.
438
00:16:21,825 --> 00:16:24,928
NEWSMAN: The end of his speech
interrupted by the very mob
439
00:16:25,095 --> 00:16:26,329
he helped stir up.
440
00:16:26,429 --> 00:16:29,466
Ah, the irony:
interrupted by his own mob.
441
00:16:29,566 --> 00:16:31,668
You see, this is why
when you are fomenting a coup,
442
00:16:31,768 --> 00:16:34,304
you got to coordinate,
you know, send out a Doodle,
443
00:16:34,404 --> 00:16:36,606
let the mob know you're speaking
to overturn the election
444
00:16:36,706 --> 00:16:38,575
at 1:30, so maybe they could
overtake the police barricade
445
00:16:38,675 --> 00:16:40,610
at 2:00, maybe, you know?
446
00:16:40,710 --> 00:16:43,113
You know, the only thing worse
than your mob showing up early
447
00:16:43,146 --> 00:16:44,948
is your mob showing up late.
448
00:16:45,115 --> 00:16:46,716
Because then you're
just on the floor of Congress
449
00:16:46,816 --> 00:16:49,986
going: And if you think Joe
Biden is going to be president,
450
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:55,158
I have a few thousand friends
who disagree!
451
00:16:58,295 --> 00:17:00,830
Guys, where-where are you?
452
00:17:00,931 --> 00:17:03,300
Don't use the bathroom now.
Use it after.
453
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,869
This is the time.
This is the time.
454
00:17:05,969 --> 00:17:07,571
So, when you look
at what he has done in Congress,
455
00:17:07,671 --> 00:17:09,372
I'm not surprised
the GOP doesn't care
456
00:17:09,472 --> 00:17:11,508
about Gosar's anime video.
457
00:17:11,608 --> 00:17:13,877
I mean, between the coup
and the white supremacy,
458
00:17:13,977 --> 00:17:16,079
this is the least offensive
thing that he's ever done.
459
00:17:16,146 --> 00:17:18,882
And the GOP might not be
condemning Gosar's behavior,
460
00:17:18,982 --> 00:17:22,752
but his own family is definitely
picking up that slack.
461
00:17:22,852 --> 00:17:24,321
NEWSMAN: Arizona congressman
Paul Gosar
462
00:17:24,421 --> 00:17:26,690
was whacked with this attack ad
463
00:17:26,790 --> 00:17:29,192
by six
of his brothers and sisters.
464
00:17:29,292 --> 00:17:30,460
My name is Tim Gosar.
465
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:31,428
David Gosar.
466
00:17:31,528 --> 00:17:32,162
Grace Gosar.
467
00:17:32,262 --> 00:17:33,129
Joan Gosar.
468
00:17:33,230 --> 00:17:34,164
Justin Gosar.
469
00:17:34,264 --> 00:17:35,398
Jennifer Gosar.
470
00:17:35,498 --> 00:17:37,534
Paul's absolutely not working
for his district.
471
00:17:37,634 --> 00:17:39,302
He's not listening to you.
472
00:17:39,402 --> 00:17:41,371
And he doesn't have
your interests at heart.
473
00:17:41,471 --> 00:17:43,540
NEWSMAN:
Gosar fired back on Twitter...
474
00:17:49,713 --> 00:17:51,281
Goddamn!
We need to get Paul Gosar
475
00:17:51,381 --> 00:17:53,316
out of Congress
and onto a Bravo show.
476
00:17:53,416 --> 00:17:55,418
You telling me
you wouldn't watch
477
00:17:55,518 --> 00:17:57,554
The Real Gosars
of Maricopa County?
478
00:17:57,654 --> 00:17:59,756
I'm a dentist!
I'm a private investigator!
479
00:17:59,856 --> 00:18:01,725
I hate you!
We hate you, too!
480
00:18:01,825 --> 00:18:02,792
Eh!
481
00:18:02,893 --> 00:18:04,060
Tune in.
482
00:18:04,094 --> 00:18:05,729
I don't even want to imagine
how stressful
483
00:18:05,829 --> 00:18:08,064
Thanksgiving must be
for Gosar's parents.
484
00:18:08,164 --> 00:18:10,634
Think about it. You go to cook
for a bunch of children,
485
00:18:10,734 --> 00:18:14,638
and the entire mob
that Paul brings.
486
00:18:14,738 --> 00:18:17,274
You're not serving pumpkin pie
this year?!
487
00:18:17,374 --> 00:18:20,911
Well, let's see what my friends
have to say about that!
488
00:18:24,214 --> 00:18:26,650
Wait, where are you going?
The bathroom again?
489
00:18:26,750 --> 00:18:28,184
Come on, what did you guys eat?
490
00:18:28,285 --> 00:18:31,087
You're killing me here.
My mom is waiting.
491
00:18:31,187 --> 00:18:33,156
Yeah, we got to prove
a point to her.
492
00:18:33,256 --> 00:18:35,091
Okay. Okay, I'll see you soon.
493
00:18:35,158 --> 00:18:36,459
I'll be honest, though,
494
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,094
as awkward
as this family dynamic is,
495
00:18:38,128 --> 00:18:41,131
it's more surprising to me when
someone does endorse a sibling.
496
00:18:41,231 --> 00:18:42,832
I can't front.
I mean, think about it,
497
00:18:42,933 --> 00:18:44,868
siblings have experienced
too much with you.
498
00:18:44,968 --> 00:18:46,636
Like, I don't care
if my sister and I
499
00:18:46,736 --> 00:18:48,238
believe in all the same things--
500
00:18:48,338 --> 00:18:52,442
she put my hand in warm water
to make me pee in bed.
501
00:18:52,542 --> 00:18:55,445
Nobody should do that
to a 37-year-old.
502
00:18:55,545 --> 00:18:57,747
So that's Paul Gosar.
503
00:18:57,847 --> 00:19:00,116
Fringe politician. Anime fan.
504
00:19:00,217 --> 00:19:02,285
And a man so awful
he couldn't win votes
505
00:19:02,385 --> 00:19:03,720
from his own family.
506
00:19:03,820 --> 00:19:05,088
And I don't know about you guys,
507
00:19:05,188 --> 00:19:08,358
but someone this awful,
508
00:19:08,458 --> 00:19:10,093
they shouldn't be running
anything in government.
509
00:19:10,193 --> 00:19:12,862
And I don't say this
as a talk show host.
510
00:19:12,963 --> 00:19:18,134
I say this as someone who's been
to the dentist.
511
00:19:18,235 --> 00:19:19,269
All right, when we come back,
512
00:19:19,369 --> 00:19:20,804
we won't just hear
some marching bands,
513
00:19:20,904 --> 00:19:22,906
we'll listen to them.
514
00:19:23,073 --> 00:19:24,941
What does that mean?
I don't know.
515
00:19:25,075 --> 00:19:27,110
So stick around to find out.
516
00:19:30,014 --> 00:19:31,348
Welcome back to The Daily Show.
517
00:19:31,448 --> 00:19:33,017
If you've ever watched
a college football game,
518
00:19:33,117 --> 00:19:34,552
you know two things.
519
00:19:34,652 --> 00:19:37,955
One, you could definitely
have coached that team better,
520
00:19:38,055 --> 00:19:41,325
and two, the marching band
is pretty awesome.
521
00:19:41,425 --> 00:19:44,194
But how much do you know
about the history
522
00:19:44,295 --> 00:19:45,696
of the marching band?
523
00:19:45,796 --> 00:19:47,231
Well, Dulcé will fill you in
524
00:19:47,331 --> 00:19:49,633
with another installment
of Dul-Sayin'.
525
00:19:49,733 --> 00:19:51,769
♪ ♪
526
00:19:55,439 --> 00:19:56,607
Black marching bands.
527
00:19:56,707 --> 00:19:58,842
It's the one time
Black people get to march
528
00:19:58,943 --> 00:20:00,911
without Fox News
calling them rioters.
529
00:20:01,011 --> 00:20:02,046
And we all love them.
530
00:20:02,146 --> 00:20:04,448
Even those of us
who got cut from one
531
00:20:04,548 --> 00:20:07,952
just because our baton twirling
was deemed dangerous.
532
00:20:08,052 --> 00:20:09,286
Maybe those trombone players
533
00:20:09,386 --> 00:20:11,855
should have stayed out
of my strike zone. Hmm?
534
00:20:11,956 --> 00:20:13,757
But marching bands
are even more amazing
535
00:20:13,857 --> 00:20:15,593
when you learn
about their history.
536
00:20:15,693 --> 00:20:17,695
For example
you may not know this,
537
00:20:17,795 --> 00:20:20,164
but Black marching bands
actually started
538
00:20:20,264 --> 00:20:21,198
in the same setting
539
00:20:21,298 --> 00:20:23,200
as all your dad's
favorite movies:
540
00:20:23,300 --> 00:20:25,336
times of war.
541
00:20:25,436 --> 00:20:27,104
You see, in colonial times,
542
00:20:27,204 --> 00:20:29,506
Black men weren't allowed
to carry weapons,
543
00:20:29,607 --> 00:20:31,642
but they still had to serve
in state militias.
544
00:20:31,742 --> 00:20:34,411
So they were assigned
to fife and drum corps instead,
545
00:20:34,511 --> 00:20:36,847
and they needed
a fife and drum corps back then
546
00:20:36,947 --> 00:20:38,449
in case the armies
ran out of bullets
547
00:20:38,549 --> 00:20:40,451
and had to resort
to a rap battle.
548
00:20:40,551 --> 00:20:44,221
So, yeah, not letting the Black
servicemen have guns was racist,
549
00:20:44,321 --> 00:20:46,757
but there was actually
an interesting side effect
550
00:20:46,857 --> 00:20:49,793
of this racism,
because over the next century,
551
00:20:49,894 --> 00:20:51,228
the military pumped out
552
00:20:51,328 --> 00:20:53,464
thousands
of trained Black musicians
553
00:20:53,564 --> 00:20:55,532
who took
their marching band skills
554
00:20:55,633 --> 00:20:57,334
back to their communities.
555
00:20:57,434 --> 00:20:59,270
And that's definitely
one of the best skills
556
00:20:59,370 --> 00:21:00,771
to take out of the military.
557
00:21:00,871 --> 00:21:02,373
I mean,
who do you want at a party,
558
00:21:02,473 --> 00:21:04,141
the guy who knows
how to play drums
559
00:21:04,208 --> 00:21:07,144
or the guy who knows
how to dig a hole to poop in?
560
00:21:07,177 --> 00:21:08,712
And all
of this marching band culture
561
00:21:08,812 --> 00:21:11,048
found a new home in 1890
562
00:21:11,148 --> 00:21:15,386
when Tuskegee University started
the first HBCU marching band.
563
00:21:15,486 --> 00:21:17,154
It turns out
college and marching bands
564
00:21:17,254 --> 00:21:18,322
are a natural fit,
565
00:21:18,422 --> 00:21:20,190
like college and STDs.
566
00:21:20,291 --> 00:21:22,760
Over the next 50 years,
marching bands popped up
567
00:21:22,860 --> 00:21:25,162
at Alabama State, Florida A&M,
568
00:21:25,229 --> 00:21:27,731
Kentucky State and other HBCUs.
569
00:21:27,831 --> 00:21:31,101
But the big turning point
came in 1946,
570
00:21:31,201 --> 00:21:34,104
when Dr. William P. Foster
at Florida A&M
571
00:21:34,204 --> 00:21:36,240
discovered
the missing ingredient,
572
00:21:36,340 --> 00:21:38,108
choreography.
573
00:21:38,175 --> 00:21:41,645
Dr. Foster taught his marching
band new dance moves,
574
00:21:41,745 --> 00:21:44,281
with help from a P.E. teacher
named Beverly Barber.
575
00:21:44,381 --> 00:21:46,617
And that must have been cruel
for all those band nerds
576
00:21:46,717 --> 00:21:49,320
who thought that going to
college meant no more gym class.
577
00:21:49,420 --> 00:21:51,755
Oh, you thought
you were done running?
578
00:21:51,855 --> 00:21:54,425
Mm-mm. Now you got to do it
with a tuba.
579
00:21:54,525 --> 00:21:57,127
But it was worth it, because
choreography took marching bands
580
00:21:57,161 --> 00:21:58,128
to the next level.
581
00:21:58,162 --> 00:21:59,930
Adding dancing to anything
582
00:22:00,030 --> 00:22:01,332
makes it more entertaining--
583
00:22:01,432 --> 00:22:03,934
karaoke,
in-flight announcements,
584
00:22:04,034 --> 00:22:05,936
finding out
you are not the father.
585
00:22:06,036 --> 00:22:07,838
(cheering, shouting)
586
00:22:07,938 --> 00:22:09,607
But the 1960s and '70s,
587
00:22:09,707 --> 00:22:12,209
HBCU bands had gone mainstream.
588
00:22:12,309 --> 00:22:13,711
They were playing Super Bowls,
589
00:22:13,811 --> 00:22:16,714
and they even marched
in JFK's inaugural parade,
590
00:22:16,814 --> 00:22:18,883
which had to be
the most memorable parade
591
00:22:18,983 --> 00:22:20,651
JFK was ever in.
592
00:22:20,751 --> 00:22:21,652
Wait.
593
00:22:21,752 --> 00:22:23,053
That seems wrong.
594
00:22:23,153 --> 00:22:26,223
Then Southern University's band
changed the game again
595
00:22:26,323 --> 00:22:28,158
when they started doing
their own rendition
596
00:22:28,259 --> 00:22:29,827
of Top 40 radio hits.
597
00:22:29,927 --> 00:22:32,429
That earned them the nickname
"the Human Jukebox,"
598
00:22:32,529 --> 00:22:34,932
and it's a tradition
that goes on to this day.
599
00:22:35,099 --> 00:22:36,100
I'm telling you,
600
00:22:36,166 --> 00:22:37,568
you haven't lived
until you've heard
601
00:22:37,668 --> 00:22:39,136
a marching band cover "WAP."
602
00:22:39,236 --> 00:22:41,338
There's no lyrics,
so all these old people
603
00:22:41,438 --> 00:22:42,773
are dancing to it in the stands
604
00:22:42,873 --> 00:22:44,909
and they don't even know
they're getting down to a song
605
00:22:45,009 --> 00:22:46,510
about lubrication.
(chuckles)
606
00:22:46,610 --> 00:22:48,178
Get nasty, Grandma!
607
00:22:48,279 --> 00:22:49,613
It was also during this time
608
00:22:49,713 --> 00:22:51,815
that bands made
their next big move,
609
00:22:51,916 --> 00:22:53,150
dancelines.
610
00:22:53,250 --> 00:22:55,286
These started with
the Golden Girls of Alcorn State
611
00:22:55,386 --> 00:22:57,655
and spread to the J-Settes
of Jackson State,
612
00:22:57,755 --> 00:23:00,124
whose J-Setting technique
became a big influence
613
00:23:00,157 --> 00:23:01,425
on hip-hop dance.
614
00:23:01,525 --> 00:23:03,827
And the J-Sets only happened
because a majorette
615
00:23:03,928 --> 00:23:06,330
named Shirley Middleton
demanded that they be allowed
616
00:23:06,430 --> 00:23:08,332
to dance in a more modern way,
617
00:23:08,432 --> 00:23:10,668
and "Put down their batons."
618
00:23:10,768 --> 00:23:12,937
I wish someone had gotten rid
of batons
619
00:23:13,037 --> 00:23:14,605
back when I was twirling.
620
00:23:14,705 --> 00:23:16,473
Then I wouldn't have gotten
sued so much.
621
00:23:16,574 --> 00:23:19,910
The band got more CTE than
the football team that year.
622
00:23:20,010 --> 00:23:22,146
Today, the impact
of HBCU bands
623
00:23:22,179 --> 00:23:24,348
and their dances
is all over pop culture.
624
00:23:24,448 --> 00:23:27,184
They're in songs, movies,
and they were even part
625
00:23:27,284 --> 00:23:30,120
of Beyoncé's iconic
Coachella performance.
626
00:23:30,221 --> 00:23:31,655
That show changed
the conversation.
627
00:23:31,755 --> 00:23:33,324
It changed the culture.
628
00:23:33,424 --> 00:23:34,658
I mean,
just watching that again,
629
00:23:34,758 --> 00:23:36,260
it changed my outfit.
630
00:23:36,360 --> 00:23:38,796
Here's how popular
Black marching bands are now.
631
00:23:38,896 --> 00:23:40,264
Even Trump had one perform
632
00:23:40,364 --> 00:23:42,566
at his inauguration.
Between that
633
00:23:42,666 --> 00:23:46,437
and all the cheating on
his wife, he was just like JFK.
634
00:23:46,537 --> 00:23:47,838
And just this year,
635
00:23:47,938 --> 00:23:49,873
Vice President Kamala Harris
was escorted
636
00:23:49,974 --> 00:23:52,176
at the inauguration
by the marching band
637
00:23:52,276 --> 00:23:54,845
from her own alma mater,
Howard University.
638
00:23:54,945 --> 00:23:56,614
What an incredible moment
that was.
639
00:23:56,714 --> 00:23:59,116
Most people only reconnect
with their alma maters
640
00:23:59,216 --> 00:24:00,885
when they're getting hit up
for donations.
641
00:24:00,985 --> 00:24:02,319
I already made a donation.
642
00:24:02,419 --> 00:24:05,890
It was called my tuition,
and I had a full ride.
643
00:24:05,990 --> 00:24:08,259
So the next time
you see a Black marching band,
644
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,128
you'll know how they became the
phenomenon that they are today.
645
00:24:11,195 --> 00:24:13,998
Now, play me out. Aha!
646
00:24:14,131 --> 00:24:16,300
Still got it.
647
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,302
Aha. See? Not so bad.
648
00:24:18,402 --> 00:24:20,004
-(thudding)
-Ooh.
649
00:24:20,137 --> 00:24:21,472
-(clattering)
-I'm not paying for that.

Welcome back to The Daily Show.
656
00:24:33,384 --> 00:24:34,752
My guest tonight
is NBA superstar
657
00:24:34,852 --> 00:24:36,421
and businessman Dwyane Wade.
658
00:24:36,521 --> 00:24:38,723

Dwyane Wade,
welcome to the show.
662
00:24:44,862 --> 00:24:46,264
-Man, thank you.
-And good to have you here
663
00:24:46,364 --> 00:24:48,399
with, like, you know,
a book that I...
664
00:24:48,499 --> 00:24:50,401
I-I didn't know what to expect
when I started reading it,
665
00:24:50,501 --> 00:24:53,037
but it feels like a memoir
in pictures.
666
00:24:53,137 --> 00:24:54,205
It feels like a story
of your life
667
00:24:54,305 --> 00:24:55,640
and some of your
inner monologue thoughts.
668
00:24:55,740 --> 00:24:57,875
Like, what inspired
this version of the book?
669
00:24:57,975 --> 00:24:59,844
It is. It...
That's exactly what it is.
670
00:24:59,944 --> 00:25:01,379
I didn't...
I didn't want to go at it
671
00:25:01,479 --> 00:25:03,681
from a standpoint of, like,
just words on a... on a paper.
672
00:25:03,781 --> 00:25:05,616
-I've done that once,
and it was great. -Uh-huh.
673
00:25:05,717 --> 00:25:07,051
But, like, this time,
674
00:25:07,151 --> 00:25:08,820
sitting down,
thinking about, uh,
675
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:10,421
my responsibility and my role.
676
00:25:10,521 --> 00:25:13,391
And I take it very seriously,
uh, as a public figure.
677
00:25:13,491 --> 00:25:15,226
-Mm-hmm. -And, you know,
just understanding
678
00:25:15,326 --> 00:25:18,763
that little Dwyanes
need something to see.
679
00:25:18,863 --> 00:25:21,165
-Right. -You know, like,
reading something is great,
680
00:25:21,265 --> 00:25:22,834
but when they can actually see
the image
681
00:25:22,934 --> 00:25:25,803
of the... of-of something,
of someone,
682
00:25:25,903 --> 00:25:27,805
I think that right there
is more powerful.
683
00:25:27,905 --> 00:25:31,075
So, for me, it was important
that I show the human side
684
00:25:31,242 --> 00:25:33,244
of, you know, what people
look at as an athlete,
685
00:25:33,311 --> 00:25:34,512
-because they met me
as an athlete. -Right, right.
686
00:25:34,612 --> 00:25:35,847
-Okay. Okay.
-But I'm a human.
687
00:25:35,947 --> 00:25:37,348
And so I wanted to show
a little bit of that.
688
00:25:37,448 --> 00:25:39,584
Yeah, it's a beautiful book
divided into quarters, you know?
689
00:25:39,684 --> 00:25:41,719
Uh, you know, like,
your life has been this game
690
00:25:41,819 --> 00:25:43,054
that you've been playing out.
691
00:25:43,154 --> 00:25:44,255
I was a little disappointed,
'cause I was like,
692
00:25:44,355 --> 00:25:45,523
"Well,
it can't be four quarters,
693
00:25:45,623 --> 00:25:46,824
because your life's
not finished yet."
694
00:25:46,924 --> 00:25:48,359
So then the next one's
gonna be overtime.
695
00:25:48,459 --> 00:25:49,560
You realize that, right?
696
00:25:49,660 --> 00:25:51,062
-Didn't think of that.
-(laughing)
697
00:25:51,162 --> 00:25:52,964
I didn't... I didn't think
of writing another book.
698
00:25:53,064 --> 00:25:54,465
-I didn't... (laughs)
-There's gonna...
699
00:25:54,565 --> 00:25:56,034
-Your life is... -I was like,
"This is... This is it."
700
00:25:56,134 --> 00:25:57,902
Your life is... Do you ever
think about that as an athlete?
701
00:25:58,002 --> 00:25:59,303
It's like, you know,
a lot of the time
702
00:25:59,404 --> 00:26:01,539
for athletes and for the public,
703
00:26:01,639 --> 00:26:05,009
sometimes your life "ends"
when your career ends.
704
00:26:05,109 --> 00:26:06,411
You know?
Do you ever think about that
705
00:26:06,511 --> 00:26:08,479
and-and how hard it is
706
00:26:08,579 --> 00:26:11,049
to think about your next journey
as a human being?
707
00:26:11,149 --> 00:26:13,317
I mean, I know, you know,
you're a husband. You're a dad.
708
00:26:13,418 --> 00:26:15,687
You're a businessman now.
But were you ever worried?
709
00:26:15,787 --> 00:26:16,988
Was there ever a moment
where you were like,
710
00:26:17,088 --> 00:26:19,057
"Man, who is Dwyane Wade
without the ball?
711
00:26:19,157 --> 00:26:20,491
Who's Dwyane Wade
without the hoops?"
712
00:26:20,591 --> 00:26:22,994
1,000%. I mean,
basketball is what I know.
713
00:26:23,094 --> 00:26:25,296
Right? From the standpoint
of I've focused my whole life
714
00:26:25,329 --> 00:26:26,497
on trying to be great.
715
00:26:26,597 --> 00:26:27,999
If you're trying to be great
at something,
716
00:26:28,099 --> 00:26:30,301
you understand that it takes
all of your-your attention.
717
00:26:30,368 --> 00:26:31,602
It takes all of your time.
718
00:26:31,703 --> 00:26:33,604
And once I got to, like,
my last year,
719
00:26:33,705 --> 00:26:35,840
when I was like, "All right,
I think I'm ready to walk away,"
720
00:26:35,940 --> 00:26:37,709
I was like,
"What am I gonna do next?"
721
00:26:37,809 --> 00:26:40,244
And everybody tells you along
the way, "You're gonna be fine.
722
00:26:40,278 --> 00:26:41,579
-You're gonna have so many
things going on." -(laughs)
723
00:26:41,679 --> 00:26:43,414
You're like, "How? Where?"
724
00:26:43,514 --> 00:26:45,950
And, you know, I took a few--
took a few months off,
725
00:26:46,050 --> 00:26:47,385
maybe, like,
two or three months,
726
00:26:47,485 --> 00:26:48,653
and then I just said,
"You know what,
727
00:26:48,753 --> 00:26:50,254
"I'll talk with my team
and let's say,
728
00:26:50,288 --> 00:26:52,056
"'Let's get back to it. Let's
just hit the ground running.
729
00:26:52,156 --> 00:26:53,558
"'Let's take meetings
and let's just see.
730
00:26:53,658 --> 00:26:55,326
Let's see
where my interests lies.'"
731
00:26:55,426 --> 00:26:56,561
Because I didn't know. You know?
732
00:26:56,661 --> 00:26:58,363
All I knew was I love
the game of basketball
733
00:26:58,463 --> 00:27:00,465
and I enjoy business
and I enjoy making money.
734
00:27:00,565 --> 00:27:02,934
I enjoy creating things.
I enjoy designing things.
735
00:27:03,034 --> 00:27:06,270
So, for me, it was like, let's
find what that next step is.
736
00:27:06,371 --> 00:27:09,307
So I feel that I'm in
my rookie season in life again.
737
00:27:09,407 --> 00:27:11,542
-I'm in the pregame. I'm in the
pregame again. -Oh, I like that.
738
00:27:11,642 --> 00:27:14,746
In-in this-- in this new--
this new step, this new walk.
739
00:27:14,846 --> 00:27:16,414
If I-- if I had guessed
740
00:27:16,514 --> 00:27:17,882
before reading the book
and someone said to me,
741
00:27:17,982 --> 00:27:19,083
"Okay, what are
Dwyane Wade's passions?"
742
00:27:19,183 --> 00:27:20,284
I would have gone,
"Okay, basketball
743
00:27:20,318 --> 00:27:21,719
-is definitely one of them."
-Yes.
744
00:27:21,819 --> 00:27:23,888
-I would have said fashion is
definitely one of them. -Yes.
745
00:27:23,988 --> 00:27:25,890
You know, Dwyane Wade's never
been afraid to take a chance.
746
00:27:25,990 --> 00:27:28,159
-(laughs)
-Um, you know, I would have said
747
00:27:28,292 --> 00:27:30,428
-wine is one of them. You know?
-Yes.
748
00:27:30,528 --> 00:27:32,697
But one thing I would have never
said before reading the book
749
00:27:32,797 --> 00:27:35,233
-was karaoke.
-Oh. Listen...
750
00:27:35,333 --> 00:27:36,834
You-You're a humble person,
751
00:27:36,934 --> 00:27:38,936
but the one thing
you have no humility about--
752
00:27:39,037 --> 00:27:41,672
you-you call yourself
the greatest karaoke singer
753
00:27:41,773 --> 00:27:43,241
in the league. You're just like,
754
00:27:43,307 --> 00:27:44,575
-you're the GOAT.
-Well, when I was in the league.
755
00:27:44,675 --> 00:27:45,943
-Yeah. You're the GOAT.
-Now I'm out of the league,
756
00:27:46,044 --> 00:27:47,945
-I'm-I'm the GOAT.
-Oh, you're just the GOAT now?
757
00:27:48,046 --> 00:27:49,480
It's not that--
it's not that I can sing.
758
00:27:49,580 --> 00:27:51,049
I cannot sing to save my life.
759
00:27:51,149 --> 00:27:55,653
It's that I will get up onstage
anywhere to sing karaoke.
760
00:27:55,753 --> 00:27:57,989
Like, I would go to local bars
and just jump onstage.
761
00:27:58,089 --> 00:27:59,891
-That's-that's the kind
of person I am. -Wow.
762
00:27:59,991 --> 00:28:01,693
I got to know the song.
But you know what I mean.
763
00:28:01,793 --> 00:28:03,995
-Yeah, but you-you just...
-I do it anywhere.
764
00:28:04,095 --> 00:28:05,596
-I do it anywhere.
-Do you have a favorite song?
765
00:28:05,697 --> 00:28:07,365
Like, what is, like,
Dwyane Wade's...
766
00:28:07,465 --> 00:28:08,933
Well, my wife told me
I need a new song,
767
00:28:09,033 --> 00:28:11,436
because I've been doing the same
one for about six, seven years.
768
00:28:11,536 --> 00:28:13,471
-What-What's that song? -Montell
Jordan, "This Is How..."
769
00:28:13,571 --> 00:28:14,939
-You know. It's easy.
-Okay.
770
00:28:15,039 --> 00:28:16,674
I-I--
Why I like M-Montell Jordan,
771
00:28:16,774 --> 00:28:18,276
-because it brings the energy.
-I hear you.
772
00:28:18,309 --> 00:28:20,278
Everybody know the words.
Even if you don't the words,
773
00:28:20,311 --> 00:28:21,746
-you know some of the words.
-Right. Right.
774
00:28:21,846 --> 00:28:23,681
-And so it's kind of
crowd participation. -(laughs)
775
00:28:23,781 --> 00:28:26,417
And I don't have to sing.
I can deep-voice it.
776
00:28:26,517 --> 00:28:29,187
So... But, yeah, I love it, man.
I love it.
777
00:28:29,287 --> 00:28:32,590
I-I did like the human side
of, um, your story with LeBron.
778
00:28:32,690 --> 00:28:33,658
You know?
779
00:28:33,758 --> 00:28:34,926
I wasn't in...
I wasn't in the U.S.
780
00:28:35,026 --> 00:28:36,894
-When-when the whole move
to Miami happened. -Yeah.
781
00:28:36,994 --> 00:28:38,229
I wasn't in the U.S.
for that chaos.
782
00:28:38,296 --> 00:28:39,764
What do you think was
the biggest thing
783
00:28:39,864 --> 00:28:43,234
that people missed
from LeBron coming to Miami?
784
00:28:43,334 --> 00:28:45,236
You know, you-you share
a few thoughts in the book
785
00:28:45,336 --> 00:28:47,405
that I really enjoyed. You know,
the conversation you had,
786
00:28:47,505 --> 00:28:49,774
what were you trying...
you were trying to achieve.
787
00:28:49,874 --> 00:28:51,376
But what do you think
people missed in that story?
788
00:28:51,476 --> 00:28:52,543
What do you think the...
789
00:28:52,643 --> 00:28:53,878
you know,
people just didn't understand
790
00:28:53,978 --> 00:28:56,247
about that move
and the big three?
791
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,116
Well, I mean,
I'm sure it was a lot
792
00:28:58,249 --> 00:29:01,319
that-that people didn't...
you know, didn't understand.
793
00:29:01,419 --> 00:29:05,356
I mean, as athletes, you know,
when you're-you're touted
794
00:29:05,456 --> 00:29:08,459
-as one of the-the goods and the
greats in the game... -Mm-hmm.
795
00:29:08,559 --> 00:29:10,628
...they say these are the things
you have to accomplish.
796
00:29:10,728 --> 00:29:13,364
You have to get rings,
you have to get MVP.
797
00:29:13,464 --> 00:29:15,867
Like, it's all of these things,
and so, you can't knock someone
798
00:29:15,967 --> 00:29:18,302
for-for listening to that
and going out and making sure
799
00:29:18,403 --> 00:29:20,872
-that you put the best team
around you to win. -Right.
800
00:29:20,972 --> 00:29:23,374
-Mm-hmm. -So I think at that
time, you know, I was come...
801
00:29:23,474 --> 00:29:25,376
I had won a championship at 24.
802
00:29:25,476 --> 00:29:26,978
I've been losing, losing,
losing, losing.
803
00:29:27,078 --> 00:29:29,280
I was tired of that.
LeBron, you know,
804
00:29:29,313 --> 00:29:31,249
for seven years is...
you know, he got close once,
805
00:29:31,349 --> 00:29:33,584
-but he was ready to, like,
get over that hump. -Right.
806
00:29:33,685 --> 00:29:36,354
Uh, Chris Bosh
was an emerging star in Toronto.
807
00:29:36,454 --> 00:29:37,689
Um, he was ready
to get a little bit more light,
808
00:29:37,789 --> 00:29:38,756
a little bit more attention.
809
00:29:38,856 --> 00:29:40,758
So, I just feel like, man,
810
00:29:40,858 --> 00:29:43,695
just to be young
and to decide as young men
811
00:29:43,795 --> 00:29:45,663
-that we want to do this,
as friends. -Mm-hmm.
812
00:29:45,763 --> 00:29:47,765
Um, and we understood
at that moment
813
00:29:47,865 --> 00:29:50,835
that we were shifting
the culture of what the NBA was
814
00:29:50,935 --> 00:29:52,537
-in that moment. -Yeah, it
has... It'll never be the same.
815
00:29:52,637 --> 00:29:54,105
-You know?
-Player empowerment.
816
00:29:54,238 --> 00:29:55,273
-Right. -That's what
that move was about.
817
00:29:55,373 --> 00:29:57,408
Your life has been one
that is filled
818
00:29:57,508 --> 00:30:00,344
with both tragedy and triumph.
819
00:30:00,445 --> 00:30:04,015
I can't help wondering if that's
why you've been as dedicated
820
00:30:04,115 --> 00:30:06,484
to your family as you have been.
You know, it feels like
821
00:30:06,584 --> 00:30:07,752
Dwyane Wade has gone like,
822
00:30:07,852 --> 00:30:09,120
"I want to win championships
on the court,
823
00:30:09,253 --> 00:30:11,322
but I want to win
championships at home, as well."
824
00:30:11,422 --> 00:30:13,624
And you know, I see that,
you know, with, for instance,
825
00:30:13,725 --> 00:30:16,260
-your son Zaire, who's playing
in the game now. -Yeah.
826
00:30:16,361 --> 00:30:17,729
I've seen your face light up
when you watch him
827
00:30:17,829 --> 00:30:18,996
and when you play against him.
828
00:30:19,097 --> 00:30:20,965
And I've also seen,
like, the journey
829
00:30:21,065 --> 00:30:22,934
that you've been on
with your daughter,
830
00:30:23,034 --> 00:30:25,870
and just, like,
talking through the challenges
831
00:30:25,970 --> 00:30:28,106
of having a child who's trans
and learning about it.
832
00:30:28,272 --> 00:30:30,575
And I want to know
a little bit more about that.
833
00:30:30,675 --> 00:30:33,344
Everyone thinks the journey
to understanding transpeople
834
00:30:33,444 --> 00:30:35,213
and the conversation
happens overnight.
835
00:30:35,279 --> 00:30:37,048
-It wasn't overnight for you,
and you had to learn. -No.
836
00:30:37,215 --> 00:30:39,684
If you were to talk
to another parent out there,
837
00:30:39,784 --> 00:30:42,320
or somebody who just goes like,
"Dwyane, this is just,
838
00:30:42,420 --> 00:30:44,322
I don't get, this is wrong,
I don't get it,"
839
00:30:44,422 --> 00:30:46,524
what helped you
to begin to understand
840
00:30:46,624 --> 00:30:49,460
so that you could be
the best parent to her?
841
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:54,032
Well, I think when
things happen personally to you,
842
00:30:54,132 --> 00:30:56,601
when you have a personal
connection to something
843
00:30:56,701 --> 00:30:59,670
or someone, you take it
a little bit more serious.
844
00:30:59,771 --> 00:31:03,374
But when it happens to you, you
have to look at it in the face.
845
00:31:03,474 --> 00:31:06,244
You have to, you know,
right on, like my daughter
846
00:31:06,344 --> 00:31:07,812
looking at me across the table,
847
00:31:07,912 --> 00:31:11,315
I have to... this is something
I need to deal with, right?
848
00:31:11,416 --> 00:31:13,551
In the sense of,
I don't know everything.
849
00:31:13,651 --> 00:31:16,387
You know, and as a parent, you
want to make sure that your kids
850
00:31:16,487 --> 00:31:18,723
-come to you, you have answers.
You know what I mean? -Mm.
851
00:31:18,823 --> 00:31:20,692
You have the right words,
you have the right, you know,
852
00:31:20,792 --> 00:31:23,895
support, whatever it is,
you have the right motivation.
853
00:31:23,995 --> 00:31:26,297
And so at that moment
I had no answers.
854
00:31:26,397 --> 00:31:28,366
The only answer that I knew
and that I had
855
00:31:28,466 --> 00:31:30,401
that this is my child,
I love them,
856
00:31:30,501 --> 00:31:33,071
-and I hate the pain that
my child is in, right? -Wow.
857
00:31:33,204 --> 00:31:35,073
You know, seeing the pain of,
you know,
858
00:31:35,206 --> 00:31:38,676
not being able to feel...
feel, you know, confident
859
00:31:38,776 --> 00:31:40,712
-and comfortable in who you are,
-Right.
860
00:31:40,812 --> 00:31:42,747
That's not, you don't want
to see no one live like that,
861
00:31:42,847 --> 00:31:45,316
no one you love,
and so immediately
862
00:31:45,416 --> 00:31:49,520
wants to hug and embrace and...
you see the just delight.
863
00:31:49,620 --> 00:31:51,122
Like, I see Zaya's light.
864
00:31:51,222 --> 00:31:53,057
And for me to...
to be in a place
865
00:31:53,224 --> 00:31:54,892
where I'm not trying
to dim her light,
866
00:31:54,992 --> 00:31:56,327
I'm trying to move
out of the way
867
00:31:56,427 --> 00:31:58,062
-and let her get all the light.
-(laughing)
868
00:31:58,229 --> 00:32:00,365
I just see a-a beautiful,
you know,
869
00:32:00,465 --> 00:32:03,368
blossoming 14-year-old girl
who's, you know,
870
00:32:03,468 --> 00:32:05,603
trying to find, you know,
trying to pass her tests
871
00:32:05,703 --> 00:32:07,405
at school
just like everybody else.
872
00:32:07,505 --> 00:32:09,140
-Yeah. Yeah. -She's trying
to find friends that are new...
873
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,142
you know, this year,
going back to school
874
00:32:11,242 --> 00:32:12,677
-like everyone else.
-Mm-hmm.
875
00:32:12,777 --> 00:32:14,912
And, you know, my wife and I,
you know, our whole role
876
00:32:15,012 --> 00:32:17,248
and our whole job,
and we understand this,
877
00:32:17,281 --> 00:32:20,551
is, you know, to provide,
to protect,
878
00:32:20,651 --> 00:32:22,520
to love, um, to facilitate.
879
00:32:22,620 --> 00:32:24,489
You know,
we have all these rules.
880
00:32:24,589 --> 00:32:26,057
It's not to... to own.
881
00:32:26,157 --> 00:32:27,692
It's not to say:
You're gonna be this
882
00:32:27,792 --> 00:32:29,527
-and you're gonna do that.
-Right.
883
00:32:29,627 --> 00:32:31,696
It's to find out who they are,
find out what their likes
884
00:32:31,796 --> 00:32:33,998
and, you know,
and what are their dislikes.
885
00:32:34,098 --> 00:32:36,100
And try to help them,
you know, through life,
886
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:37,502
-you know...
-Be the best they can be.
887
00:32:37,602 --> 00:32:39,604
Find themselves.
It's not about us.
888
00:32:39,704 --> 00:32:41,472
You know what I mean?
It's not about us.
889
00:32:41,572 --> 00:32:43,474
-That's hard to accept
as a parent, huh? -Yeah.
890
00:32:43,574 --> 00:32:44,942
But you're doing it.
Dwyane Wade,
891
00:32:45,043 --> 00:32:46,411
thank you again
for joining me on the show.
892
00:32:46,511 --> 00:32:48,546
-Congratulations. This is
a really fantastic, -Thank you.
893
00:32:48,646 --> 00:32:51,582
Uh, coffee table book
-slash-memoir-ish vibe.
894
00:32:51,683 --> 00:32:54,585
And I'm excited to see what
Overtime is gonna bring, man.
895
00:32:54,686 --> 00:32:56,621
Congratulations.
Thank you, my dude.
896
00:32:56,721 --> 00:32:58,423
-Oh, you got it?
-Ooh...
897
00:32:58,523 --> 00:33:00,591
That was quick.
You still got those reflexes.
898
00:33:00,692 --> 00:33:03,294
I like that. Dwyane Wade's new
book Dwyane is available now.
899
00:33:03,394 --> 00:33:04,529
We're gonna take a quick break,
900
00:33:04,629 --> 00:33:06,330
but we'll be right back
after this.
901
00:33:08,666 --> 00:33:10,034

who might have been shitty
to her,
913
00:33:39,998 --> 00:33:42,066
you might want to change
your name to crypto.com.
