You're listening to Comedy Central. It's been already rough. I just want to check in on all of you, everybody who works here. I know it's been a really rough time this past week. Um, A lot of cartoon characters have been changing their outfits, and I just want to make sure you guys are all feeling safe and secure. The Eminem's thing rock people. Um. Now, Disney announced that Many is going to be wearing a pant suit. People are losing their ship over this because apparently they liked
those sexy, sleek legs of hers. A lot of people don't know what this means for the future of the country. I'm not gonna lie. I I didn't ever think a country could be this angry about cartoon characters changing their outfits. Like people are angry Many Mouse should be wearing that Many skirt. Okay, it's Calledge's called Many Mouse, not not pants mouse. Okay, I want to see that ash. Okay, people literally on the news being just destroying the fabric
of society. Huh, what's next, Donald Duck? You're not gonna be able to see Dick were different outfits. The only people who shouldn't wear different outfits is like people who are geniuses because they don't want to waste time, Like like Albert Einstein. He says he wore the same clothes every day because he didn't want to waste time thinking about what he was gonna wear. He's like, I'm trying to solve the universe. I can't figure out if like check goes with polka dot. You know what I mean,
trying to figure it out. Steve Jobs, same thing. He was like, Yo, same outfit. I'm not wasting my brain power. A lot of people do that in like life. Now they go like, yeah, I don't waste time thinking because I want to. But people don't realize not picking your clothes doesn't mean you're automatically become smarter. Some people are still dumbasses. But now you just wear the same clothes
every day. I don't think people realize that that might be the one saving grace that you have, because now you're coming with the same dumb ship every day and you look the same. At least if you switch things up, people like that ship was dumb again, but nice shirts coming to you from the heart of times. He knew York City the only city in America. It's the Daily Show here's edition tonight. Schools in americrant white football is weird, Lindsay even. This is The Daily Show with Trevor no Hey,
what's going on? Everybody? Welcome to The Daily Show. I'm Trevor Noah. Let's jump straight into today's headlines and we begin with the Supreme Court. The world's lamest gospel choir today major news people. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Bryan has officially announced that he is retiring. And I know you're thinking, wait, we spoke about this yesterday. No, that wasn't officially. That was unofficially. That was like a tweet that was official,
but it wasn't official. This is official, official, right, and this is gonna have ramifications. But before we get into the politics, let's take a moment to honor Justice Bryan's career. And that's enough of that, alright. So, Joe Biden, you may remember, promised during the campaign that he was going to nominate a black woman if an opening on the Supreme Court came up, because he cares deeply about representation and winning Georgia. And so now it looks like that's
what he's planning to do. But everyone is not happy about that. Right off the bat, he is excluding all potential candidates who are not African American women. So if you're a man, if you happen to be white, an Asian American, Hispanic American, Joe Biden will not even look at your resume. To exclude certain candidates based solely on race and gender is beyond extremely divisive. Uh, it may
even be illegal. I don't think the president should ever ever insult the first he's going to nominate by saying you're not the most qualified person, You're just the most qualified black woman person. Well, what kind of a qualification is that being a black woman? I mean, is this our standards now in terms of the highest court in the land. You almost got the impression that Joe Biden believes all black are the same, They're identical. This is
exactly why decent Americans hated segregation. It's humanized people. And why isn't there an American Indian on the court or a gender queer. Why isn't there an Afghan refugee under consideration? Yeah, and why isn't there a sexy eminem under consideration? I'm talking about one of those M and m's that goes right from the legs straight to the shell. Did we all just get horny? Just me? Look, man, there's a lot to unpack here. But most importantly, being a black
woman isn't the qualification? All right, Joe Biden is gonna pick a black woman who is also qualified. These people act like Biden is just going to show up at the mall and be like, Yo, Shaniqua, come with me. My name is Regina. It doesn't matter. Just put on these roads. I need to help with abortion. No, she's going to be qualified. And why is that a bad thing? Why not trying to make the Supreme Court a little
more representative of the country it represents. I mean, their rulings impact the lives of every person in the country, So it would be nice to have at least one justice on there who's had to ask the Walgreens guy to unlock the shampoo shelf. But at the same time, at the same time, I also hear what these Fox people are saying. You know, it shouldn't matter whether you're black or white. This position should only go to the most qualified judge who also thinks that guns of people.
And I mean I feel bad for Tucker Carlson. Of course he's upset. You think about it. For almost all of American history, the entire Supreme Court was white dudes with both ties and weird hair. And now that's all gone. It's all gone. Where has Tucker's representation? Lacrosse lives matter? People?
All right, let's move on from America to America. As a strange dad, Great Britain, their Prime Minister Bars Johnson has been embroiled in scandal ever since it was discovered that while Britain's were in lockdown, he broke the rules and threw a bunch of office party. And apparently they were partying for everything. Retirement parties, birthday parties, regular hangout parties. Ship they were throwing parties just because someone figured out
how to unjam the printer. It's working, It's rarely working well. Dis calls for a spot of bubbly Greg Greg Greg Greg Greg Greg And as if that wasn't bad enough, now Boris has another scandal brewing. British Privateister Boris Johnson get this is once again on the defense over another issue. This time it's whether he authorized the evacuation of cats
and dogs from Afghanistan. The batchel of leaked emails of here to contradict Johnson's claims of having nothing to do with the evacuation of animals from a British charity in Afghanistan as the country fell to the Taliban and human beings were scrambling to find a way out of that country. And the Prime Minister has always denied intervening and denial,
he repeated this lunchtime. This whole thing is is total rub The military always a prioritized human beings and that was quite right, and I think we should be incredibly proud of about picking and what it achieved. Can I be honest, this is the most white people scandal of all time. You rescued pets before human beings. Guys, you have to prioritize saving people over animals because people will be grateful about it. You rescue a cat from Afghanistan,
act like it's doing you a favor. Yeah, thanks. Now. Boris says that this whole scandal is total rule bomb, so you can tell his stress because British people only bust out the obscure vegetables when their backs are against the wall. Prince Andrew, what were you doing on Jeffrey Epstein's island Old Brussels sprouts? It's not what you think. This is where you realize how special Trump was at
getting out of a jam. Right, remember that guy, because where most politicians try and undo the scandal that Trump was a genius man, he would just add another one to throw us off the trail. I know you're upset, but why are we talking about me sleeping with a borne star when I'm about overthrow the government? Huh? After real story, folks, throwing over my own government, and I'm gonna overthrow it with me and shade it. Now I'm down, all right. Finally, let us turn to today's big education
use I before E except after sea. Apparently it's not true. You can just flip that ship. I based my whole personality on that. Also, another education story is over the last few months, they have been big movements by conservatives to put limits on what kids can learn in schools. Laws saying that you can't teach divisive concepts about race, laws saying that books should be pulled from libraries for
talking about gender identity. Basically, at this point, if it's not math science or how to hide from a shooter, they don't think it's appropriate for kids to know about. And now one school board is going After a surprising new targets, a Tennessee school board decided to ban the pool Serprize winning graphic novel Mouse. It's the only graphic novel will ever to win the Pulitzer, but the mckinn
County school Board in Tennessee has banned the book. One board member said, quote, it shows people hanging, It shows them killing kids. Why does the educational system promote this kind of stuff? It's not wise or healthy. Mouse is widely seen as the gold standard when it comes to teaching kids about the Holocaust, given its unique voice, it's unique approach. This decision baffling the author of Mouse, Art Spiegelman.
He was interviewed by CNBC about this decision and he said this, it's leaving me with my jaw open, like what. I also understand that Tennessee is obviously demented. There's something going on very very haywire there. Now, if you don't know Mouse, the whole reason this book is taught in middle school is that it's a serious book about the Holocaust that kids actually want to read and adults too, right, because a subject this huge and horrifying is hard to
get your head around. So what Mouse does is it turns all of the people into cartoon animals. Right. The Jews are represent it by mice, the Germans are represented by cats. And because that's a trope that we're familiar with from comic books, it helps people process this event that's unthinkable otherwise, I mean, it's either a comic book or that Peanuts special. It's genocide, Charlie Brown. No. But seriously, though, just because you show something doesn't mean you're promoting it.
You need to include certain stories because they represent reality. Right. It's like having the N word in Huckleberry Finn, or the N word in to Kill a Marking Bird, or the N word in Of Mice and Men, or the N word Goodnight Moon. Wow, they said the N word a lot. So listen, Tennessee school Board. You don't need to be denying the Holocaust. Okay, that's YouTube's job. Stay in your lane. And when you teach kids, teach them the whole truth. You can't teach it while avoiding some
of the unpleasant parts. That's not the thing. That's history. Is supposed to teach it properly, and it's gonna make these kids look really dumb later on in life. Ah. Yes, the Holocaust when are millions of people were given free pajamas? No, Okay, enough of that. Let's move on to our main story, which is once again about the coronavirus pandemic. And I know it seems like we talk about COVID every single day,
but don't worry, this is a new variant. One thing everyone agrees on is that sooner or later kids need to be back in school because zoom classes are a nightmare, and they were especially hard for the teachers at that Euphoria High school. Well, everyone, please turn on your cameras. Everyone turn out. Wait wait, wait, is that a penis is a turn it off? Turn it off? Now. Unfortunately, schools have to contend with COVID, which also likes everyone
being inside classrooms. So how are schools dealing with in person classes during a pandemic. Well, let's find out in another installment of Getting Back to Normalish. If there's one thing we've learned about COVID is that it spreads most when people are crowded indoors. And if there's one thing that schools are about, it's crowding people into tight spaces classrooms, hallways, lockers. So as you can imagine this has caused a lot
of problems for students. Since ol Across started, countless kids around the country have gotten infected or they've had to isolate because some kids in their class got infected. And when you think about it, it's disorienting not to know what each day is going to bring. Are they going to be in class, are they going to be home? Is the bullying going to be in personal or cyber You need to plan. It's been chaos for students, which is why some schools have decided to do away with
the indoor parts of indoor learning altogether. The pandemic has many parents in school districts still struggling with remote versus in person learning, but some schools are finding a compromise in the great outdoors. Despite frigid temperatures in Wisconsin and Maine, these schools moved some classes outside to help prevent the spread. Seventeen schools in Portland, Maine built outdoor learning spaces, plenty of winter gear and WiFi with windschill it's minus seven. Ye,
that's right, COVID. You're not gonna get these kids because they're gonna freeze to death. First checkmate, And look, I know those classrooms might be colder than the middle of a trade to Joe's Burrito, but there are probably a lot of benefits for the students. Yeah, younger kids get to play in the snow, and high schools they don't have to worry about spontaneous erections anymore. Everybody wins not
to mention. These kids will be the first generation that can outflex their grandparents about how hard they had it. I used to walk ten miles in the snow just to get to school. Bitch, snow was my school. But if kids are stressed out by everything that's going on, it's also hard on the teachers. A lot of them are staying home because they're either worried about getting COVID or they already have it, which is why there's a
big teacher shortage right now all across the country. And that's a problem because without teachers, you don't have a school. I mean now, it's just JUVI. So schools around the country are trying to solve their staffing problems with whoever they can find. As O Macron surges on, teachers are calling out with COVID, leading to a potential crisis across the nations. Schools with record numbers calling in sick. Thousands
of schools have been forced to close. Schools scrambling to keep kids in the classroom, forced to come up with creative solutions. In Miami, a staggering sevent d teachers called in sick today. It was all hands on decks. Even the district superintendent filled in as a substitute science teacher. In Michigan, lunch ladies and school bus drivers are stepping in to supervise classes. School districts facing teacher shortages are
asking parents and alum to fill in as substitutes. Hundreds of parents in Palo Alto, California are volunteering at schools, doing anything from light custodial work to food services, clean tables. I've swept floors. In New Mexico, the governor now calling on the National Guard to teach kids. In Oklahoma, off duty police officers are now stepping into teach wow, using cops as substitute teachers. I mean, that's one way to get the black kids raising their hands in class. Kevin,
did you did you have a question? Sir? I just don't want any trouble. It would actually be pretty funny if the teachers and cops switched jobs permanently because you gotta. It would be so nice to get pulled over by a teacher for a change, because they just be like, sir, do you know how fast you're going? Because you see you left Tulsa at three oh a pm and arrived here two hours later, which means I'm not hating, though I'm not hitting. I think it's great that people from
the community are stepping up. But let's not forget there's no way to replace a professional substitute teacher. Yeah, do you think anyone can just show up, pass out a worksheet, and then get roasted for eight hours by a bunch of eleven year old No, that is an art form. So a lot of these pandemic policies have been hard on students and teachers, but the people making the policies aren't getting off easy. And I'm talking about the local
school boards. Yeah, they're stuck in the middle between parents who are terrified of their kids safety and parents who are terrified that the mosques their kids wear will turn their kids into tiny little Fauci's. I'm home from school, mom, and all the data supports me getting some mac and
cheese right now. Follow the science mommy. So school boards are in a tough spot, and uh not every parent is showing their appreciation this school board meeting in Virginia taking a wild tern Thursday as a Page County parent was rested and released on a five thousand dollar bond after she was captured on tape threatening to bring guns to her children's school if a district continued to enforce their mask mandate. My children will not come to school
on Monday with a mask on. All right, that's not happening, and I will bring every single gun loaded and ready to I will call every that's three minutes if you've gone past your path. It's a policy, thank you. M hmm. I'll see y'all on Monday. So you don't want to hear the end of the threat. I mean, I know there's a time policy, but if someone's threatening to kill me, I want to hear what they have to say, so
I don't know how to escape. I mean, this does show you how often school boards get death threats screened at them. Do you see how calm those people were. This woman is talking about bringing every loaded on to the school, and they're like time is out. Thank you. The next speaker is Jennifer Higgins, who has a proposal for burning down our houses. Go ahead, Jennifer, and please remember keep it to three minutes. For more on the
disruption that oh Macron is causing with schools. Let's go out now to Roy Wood Jr. Who is standing outside a random school. Do I have to be out here? Trevor? It's gold as hell. I could just talk to you in the studio. I'm sorry, Roy, that's not possible. This is how the news is. You see, we're talking about a school, so you have to be at a school. Otherwise, how old the people trust what a school is? Anyway, let's talk about all the chaos in schools right now, Roy,
It almost feels like we're back in rights. It's sure as ship does. I'm so fat up with Oh Macron. Man. It's ruining everything. It's ruining things for students, for teachers, parents, everybody. Not to mention all the money I'm losing on these shirts I printed up a couple of months ago. Look at this man and sold a single one of these. Damn, Oh my Cron. You don't know the overhead on that really gives you a new appreciation for all those chill viruses.
We have out there. Yeah, that's so well. I'm sorry, did you say chill viruses? I don't think there's such a thing as a chill virus, Roy, No, I think that's where you're wrong, Trevor. There are plenty of viruses out there just keeping to themselves, not stirring up trouble all the time, like hepatitis A. I'm sorry, Roy, are you saying that hepatitis A is a chill virus? Yeah, totally chill virus, Trevor, calm as hell. Nobody's getting hepatitis
A just standing in line at Walmart. Only why you're getting it is if you go out to eating the cook don't wash his hands after wiping his ass. You don't have to worry about mask or boost shots with hepatitis. Just don't order a sloppy Joe the truck stop and you're good. Well, Roy, I wasn't planning on it, But yeah, I see what you're saying. You know, like, maybe we should give credit to all those viruses out there that I'm next annoying day today, Like, like, what's that virus
that causes mono? You're talking about? My boy Epstein barr Or also known as the kissing disease. Now you may not know this, Trevor, but you know why they call it the kissing disease because you get it from kissing. It's one of a few diseases where the diagnosis comes with a half five. That's so true, Roy, You know, the doctor's just like I got good news and bad news. The bad news is you got Mono. The good news
is my man. Yeah. By the way, did you know that Epstein Bar is named after Jeffrey Epstein and former Attorney General Bill Barr. It's the first collapse before Bar killed Epstein in the jail cell. I did not know that, Roy, Well, now you do. I don't preach. I teach. And here's one other virus that I've never really appreciated until Corona came along, Her Pies. I don't I don't know, man. I don't think I'm ready to throw my support behind her Pies. Well you should be. Did you know, Trevor.
Two hundred million people in this country have herpies. But it's such a chill virus that most people don't even realize they have it. It's just like Cinemax sitting up their Channel six thirty seven just minding his own business. Sil I bet you have herpies. No, I don't. I don't have her piece. I do not. Roy, Statistically, you probably do. I don't. I'm sure that I don't. Roy. Thank you so much, Chad. Look, it doesn't matter if
or how you got herbies, man. The point is I want to take a moment to apologize to all the chill viruses out there. We took you for granted before, but no longer. We appreciate you and all you do for us. From Heape all the way to Trevor Noah's herpies. Thank you. I do not. I do not have her pies. Thank you so much. All Right, we're gonna take a quick break and when we come back, Ronni Chang will explain why American football makes no sense. You don't want
to miss it. We can cut out all the herpes stuff, right, we just cut off the herpes. We we're live. Okay, she's just gonna have herpes, my herd pieces one. I don't have herpet. I'm just saying the thing he said about my herpes on TV. Now it's confirmed he has it. Yes, yes he does. Okay, just making sure. Welcome back to the Daily Show. If you spent your whole life in America, you might not know what other countries think about this great country. Well, luckily, Ronnie Chang is happy to tell
you in his new segment America w CF. As someone who has lived all over the world, it's my responsibility to let Americans know that the rest of us think a lot of what you guys do is super weird. For example, American football, did you guys think of as the most normal thing ever? But let me assure you everything about it is crazy. Before the game even starts, everyone has to stand up and sing the national anthem together.
Nobody else on the planet does that. We just assume everyone knows what country that in before the game starts. And then there's a game itself. First of all, the teams all have like three people. That's not a sport, that's an army. There's so many people that everyone has their own special little job to do. Like one guy throws the ball, one guy kicks the ball, one guy throws the ball to the guy who throws the ball.
And speaking of the ball, this is a normal either. Okay, balls are supposed to be around, that's the main thing that makes it a ball. But in this insane sport. Even the ball has brain damage. And what's if the scoring six points for a touchdown, one point for the kick after you make it, but if you make the same kick before you scored, it would have been three points. And you can also score touchdown again after the touchdown, but this time it's only worth two points. Who came
out of the ship? If you ask me, a touchdown should be worth one hundred points. The player deserves it. He basically dodged a mugging with a slippery almond in his head, and one hundred points would be way easy to keep up within all these other numbers. How do you people get drunk at these games and still follow along without a spreadsheet? And speaking of drinking, you guys realize how weird tailgated is. Right, Like, I don't care how you want to brand it. Getting drunk in a
parking lot isn't a family activity. It's assigned to get a life together. I feel like the whole thing started because a bunch of pickup trucks broke down in a stadium parking lot and they just tried to play it off like, oh no, no, no, we meant to park here for five hours before the game. But if you're tailgating at a game, better not be too young, because don't forget about America's super weird drinking age. You gotta be twenty one to drink in this country. That doesn't
make sense. Okay. I guess to try and keep college kids from becoming alcoholics or something, but I'm pretty sure that experiment has failed. College dorms are so soaked in booze that if you lit a mad the whole building would explode. So maybe you're not going to a game. Maybe you're watching at home instead, in which case you'll probably see about fifty TV ads for prescription drugs, which I know you think is normal, but trust me, you're the only ones. There's a reason this doesn't happen in
other countries. Most of the people watching TV on doctors, so there's no reason to market to them directly, especially the way they do it. They always ask you questions like, hey, are you sad or achy or fighting? Yes, I'm all those things right now because I'm a person. If someone needs a drug, the doctor will prescribe it. You shouldn't have to ask them if it's right for you. This doesn't happen in any part of medical care. Okay, there's no TV as asking you to ask your doctor whether
they should cut your balls and make you cough. Your perfect doctor will do that on their own. Look, do your thing, America, Okay. Just know that whenever you're ready, you're more than welcome to join the rest of the world and stop following soccer, a sport where the ball is around, the scoring is simple, and the only thing fans are doing in the parking law is fighting each other to the death like God intended. Thank you so
much for that, Ronnie. All Right, when we come back, Olympic champion Lindsey Vonn will be joining me right here on the show, so don't go away. Welcome back to The Daily Show. My guest tonight is Olympic gold medalist and the most decorated female skier of all time, Lindsey Vonne. She's here to talk about her new memoir about her record breaking skiing career and her new journey as an entrepreneur.
Von Welcome to The Daily Show. Thanks for having me. Um. I've known you for a few years, so I knew some of the stories in this book, but like I didn't know how much of a let me choose my words carefully, crazy person like no, no, no, you know what, I'll tell you what. I'll tell you why, because like I struggle to plan what I'm gonna do next week. In life, you had a ten year plan to make it to the Olympics. And this is a plan as a nine year old, I have to add on top
of that. So at nine years old, you're like, I want to go to the Olympics in ten years. Yeah. I mean my dad definitely helped me with the planning. Um, but we had like, yeah, I met Pigby Street, my idol when I was nine, came home and I was like, this is it. This is what I want to do. And I was like, okay, let's make a plan. We printed out calendars, we had highlighters. It was like a whole thing. What are you planning in that tenures? I mean,
like you're the greatest, but what takes ten years? I need to understand what it's When you're nine, you have to like build up a point profile. You know, certain requirements that you have to make in order to kind of make the progression to even get to the USC team and then to the Olympics. So and my dad was a racer when he was growing out junior rator, so he knew kind of all the levels that I
need to get. And you know, obviously I had to start expanding my repertoire because I was from Minnesota, so three vertical feet is not a place where you learned downhill skiing. So we had to move to Colorado when I was twelve, and it was like, you know, the ten plan was extensive. I understand. I mean, yeah, Minnesota might not have been great for your repertoire, but it was great for preparing you for the doldrums of the cold. Do you even feel cold anyway? Like everyone is dying
here in New York, Everyone's freezing. And then today when you came in, I was like, Oh, she's just gonna come in like a tank top and be like, oh summer day, everybody. How are you doing? Hate there? Like the bane of the cold? Like that's the cold? You are the bane of the cold. I mean, why don't you think I ski fast to get out of the cold. Exactly? Literally, I make it to the bottom as fast I can. I put my clothes back on. Okay, yeah, I also didn't know and this was really cool to read in
the book. You're an interesting human being in that you you talk about how like how hard life was for you. In some instances, athletes used to be told, hey, don't don't tell people really depressed. You're gonna lose everything, endorsements, don't people don't want you on a team. You came out and said, Hey, I'm struggling with depression and this
is what I'm doing about it. But what was interesting to me is the fact that you you don't you don't seem to have fear when it comes to the slopes though, like life is the scary thing, and then you're going down a hill and I don't know how many miles an hour fur miles not correct, and there's no fear. No, I mean the skiing is like the most simple thing in my life, the easiest thing. Everything else was hard, and skiing was like my sanctuary. How
many times have you crashed? I mean we don't have enough, you know hours in the show too. After the first crash. No fear, No, it's just that's part of the job, you know, like that's that's the risk factor and skiing and that's honestly one of the things that makes exciting. Wouldn't wouldn't be exciting if every time you fell you fell into a pile of pillows. Well, that's what I thought it was. I wanted to go skiing. I don't know how to ski, and I always wanted to learn
how to ski. And then and then no, and then I saw all of your injuries, and I was like, I thought, the whole point of skiings that you fall into like clouds and then you don't get hurt. And then though it's not as soft as it may appear. Yeah, you see, that's ridiculous. It's hard. Um, Lindsey Vonna has gone on to inspire so many people. You know, you're mentoring, you know, some of the skiers, some of the athletes who are going to to the to the Winter Olympics.
You're gonna be commentating on that when you when you're watching, um, the Olympics. Do you have favorites? Do you have sports that you love? Is it always going to be skiing? Or there's someone to like sports where you're like, no, this is like my secret passion. Like curling is my ship, that's how our role. I mean, I'm from Minnesota, so curling should be my ship. But it's not. Sorry, I love figure skating. I just think it's really cool, like
figure skating in gymnastics or my jam. But you know, I always love alpine skiing. And of course I'm gonna be taring for people that you know, I've helped over the last couple of years and throughout my career UM and obviously t USA UM. But it's also gonna be you know, hard a little bit to watch because I would be missed. I will miss computing a little bit. One of the hardest things athletes face is the fact that their careers are essentially over when life sort of begins. Yeah,
you know, athlete talk about this all the time. You know, with it's you know Chris Bosh, you know, with it's doing Wade, with it's yourself, everyone goes, yeah, I'm I'm thirty six years old, thirty seven years old, and now life is over. How have you dealt with that? It was a tough transition. I think the first year was was really hard. And even though I had set up business and I had so much to do, it didn't take away from the fact that you know, skiing was
was gone. You know, it's something you've done your entire life, and it's not like a career change where you know I could change your mind and go back to it. It's like one day you wake up and literally what you love to do is no longer possible. So it was just I don't know, it's a hard moment for me, but I figured it out and I found new passions and new ways to challenge myself. I think that's the
most important thing. You know, athletes are very driven and goal oriented, and we just need something to push ourselves towards. And for me, that's become business us. And you know, I've been venture capital bit now, so there's just a lot of things that are going on which you know, excites me. It's not going any five miles now are down a mountain, but you know, I will make do with what I have. Are there any things that you that you miss, that you that you try and apply
to your life now? Like I didn't know, for instance, that before you went downhill you would you would spit. I don't know if I was reading that correctly. You you were spitting all the things that pick out my book. You know, we can talk about spinning, but the like I didn't understand this, well, I don't know. I think that's just something that I naturally did. But I guess it's like boost test saucetone. I think some athletes do it.
It's not very s before like you do the thing. Yeah, it's just like I don't know, it's a it's a thing. Do you do that now? Before big meetings. I could bring back the throne.
