Jon Stewart rips off the mask of corporate “values” and examines how corporations will perform caring about issues like DEI, climate change, or patriotism, as long as it means bigger profits, and how quickly they backtrack on those moral stands when it no longer suits their bottom line. Jon is also joined by basketball analyst, host, ESPN reporter, and NY Knicks Radio analyst, Monica NcNutt, who breaks down her viral debate with Stephen A. Smith about Caitlin Clark and the WNBA. She discusses the larger underlying issues of gender, race, and class that impact the way people talk about women’s basketball as well as the WNBA’s journey to this moment of boosted popularity and what new fans of the league should know about the women who have spent the last 30 years building it.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Comedy Central.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
From the most trusted journalist at Comedy Center.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
It's America's only sorts for news. This it's the Daily
Shot with your host show stupid.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Tell you that I didn't know where was coming from.
Welcome to the Daily Show. Please, my name's got Seorte.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
We got a lot.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
We got a lot going on in the world today,
very consequential, the things that you're seeing on the news
and all that, huge consequences. But I would be remiss
if I did not comment on the big news and
broadcasting Pat Sayjack. Patrick Sajack stepped down from Wheel of
Fortune after forty one years. It was incredibly emotional, and
(01:11):
I just want to say to Pat Sajack, have you
thought about just doing Mondays because you can phone that.
But of course he is gone, just in time for
(01:33):
Pride Months. Ironically, a little bitch you. Why Pride Months
is of course that time of year when corporations get
together and financially exploit the decades long struggle of gay
people for acceptance and equality. Hey, remember when you a
fire it from that bad job after you were outed. Well,
(01:55):
Burger King does with a burger that has two bottom buns. Yeah,
that's that's not a funny make them up scarred by
conversion therapy. Skittles is releasing a colorless version of Skittles,
(02:19):
apparently not wanting to confuse gay people with competing rainbows. Yeah.
And then there's this ad showing a family overcoming a
father's deep conservative values. As you watch it, try and
guess exactly what it is they're selling.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Mom, this is Amy, Hi, Amy, Hey, I'm.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
What does he doing?
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Did I do it right?
Speaker 3 (03:24):
What the fuck? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:28):
The next time you waste an enormous amount of paint
to apologize to your daughter for making a herd a
girlfriend walk on bigshells up weekend, not even saying anything,
just standing there with your little glowering beard face in
the shadows. Just take the face and give her an oreo.
(03:54):
And then, of course there's Target. Pride Months means so
much to them that they set up one small area
in their twenty thousand square feet of store to sell
you a Pride T shirt they had made in Indonesia
for twenty nine cents landing because they believe so much
in the cause. Well, Target will be dialing back. It's
Pride Month merchandise this June. What how will I learn
(04:18):
to live? Laugh? Lesbian? That's right. Target is apparently less
proud of pride this.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Year, but why retail giant Target is grappling with backlash
from conservatives over its most recent collection celebrating the LGBTQ community.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Not shop at Target or else. You're gay and you're
a perbert, even if I'm just getting paper towels. That
But that's the burden corporations must bear. They care almost
(05:02):
too much about the human condition, often finding themselves in
the crosshairs of ideologues and fundamentalists. But they stand by
their values, sometimes for a couple of months. For instance,
post January sixth, hundreds of corporations announced the end of
donations to senators or congressmen who voted to overturn the election,
and that moral stand in defense of democracy itself lasted
(05:26):
almost a month. Yeah, they ran the numbers, and apparently
you can sell more cell phones in the dictatorship. But
that month appears almost gandhiesque when compared to bud Light,
whose foray into inclusion was last April's incredibly not in
the public Space small promotional social media video with a
(05:47):
transgender influencer named Dylan mulvaney, prompting a conservative bud Light
murder purge Gode Man. Those beers had families, bud Light
(06:12):
sales plummeted, stocks tank and it only took two weeks
for Budweiser to issue an apology and run a new
ad campaign designed to win back the kind of people
who shoot at their products.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Let me tell you a story about a beer rooted
in the heart of America.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
A talking horse. You're apologizing about a transmitter influencer using
a talking horse. Well, tell us your story.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
National Velvet, found in a community where a handshake is
a sure contract.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
This is a story.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Bigger than beer. This is the story of the American spirit.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
First of all, I think that horse is scared shitless.
And second of all, the apology gift to the people
upset about Budweiser is a Budwiser curious but don't be sad,
for this is only following in a long line of
hollow corporate pandering meant to convince you that not only
are corporations people, they're good people, decent people who care
(07:29):
about the systemic ills of this great nation. We saw
this very clearly in the wake of George Floyd's murder.
Corporations saw people's demand for a reckoning with America's races passed,
and they said, sure us too.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
We are on a four hundred year long journey and
scars don't fade, but neither does hope.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
And in the fight against systematic racism and inequalities, the
Riders is committing to amplifying black voices.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
General Mills served the world by making food people love
and inclusion.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
It's one of our secret ingredients.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Times.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
Our purpose is to make life devicious, and we believe
we can't achieve that.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
No one essential ingredients diversity. Are you sure you don't
(08:39):
mean sodium trifoss? Meanwhile, while corporations forcefully pronounced their deeply
held value of promoting diversity on network television, their commitment
only lasted until the protests died down time for the
(09:01):
morning buzz.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Major tech giants including Google and Meta quietly slashing their diversity,
equity and inclusion jobs this year and laying off workers
in those departments. DEI related job postings in twenty twenty
three declined forty four percent.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Ah, I guess they only needed to use much less
of that ingredient than they thought they need It turns
out the recipe Craft wanted called for just a dash
of inclusion, just a sousson of diversity. So they're very
clearly conflicted between the high moral values that they think
we want and the amorl values that serve their shareholders. So,
(09:42):
if I may address corporate America quickly in this moment, stop,
we don't need any of this. We don't need to
know that your products are used by only the most
diverse families walking down sidewalks, are camping or diverse families
(10:04):
doing a ride or getting a loan or doing laundry
or a diverse I don't know what they are. This
guy doesn't thing. He's got a skin condition, and no
way is he dating her. No way, no way, there
is no way. Oh sure, we're supposed to believe how
(10:30):
many beautiful, multi racial young ladies are dating ezema opie.
Oh okay, okay, very believable. I apologize. I apologize sincerely
to that gentleman. And by the way, for those on
(10:53):
the right who wish corporations would just ditch the woke
performances and go back to good old fashioned patriotic values,
that's all bullshit too. For God's sakes, Spaghettios told us
not to forget Pearl Harbor. By the way, why is
the Spaghettio so happy about Pearl Harbor, see remembering it
(11:17):
or celebrating it. I wouldn't be surprised if Spaghettios supported
Pearl Harbor attack. Technically, a can of Spaghetios is a
sneak attack on your digestive system. Spaghettios, Spaghettios, they are
(11:41):
base of pasta. Why are we allowing ourselves to get
worked up over whether giant multinational corporations are pro gay
or have traditional American values? Because corporations have put one value,
shareholder value. That's all they have. That Budweiser horse that
(12:03):
wants to restore our American spirit is actually owned by
a Belgian Brazilian beverage conglomerate that all American Clydesdale's name
is probably Jean Locobo scenario. Even the corporations you think
are sincere, like Dove and their multi year commitment to
body positivity, are owned by Unilever, also the owner of
(12:27):
Axe Body Spray, and they're decades long commitment to anything
that moves. There is nothing corporations do that is not
in service of their bottom line. Even when you go
to the checkout at the grocery store and the little
card reader thing says, do you want to round up
to help feed some children? Well, the first thing I
(12:49):
think is, you're the one with all the food, why don't.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
You round some of that off?
Speaker 1 (12:56):
And then they got the balls. They got the balls
to put out a press release talk about how much
money they donated to stop world hunger. Than's my money,
you tell those kids, that's my money. Let's stop pretending
that a corporation can even be woke or unwoke, or
(13:17):
patriotic or unpatriotic. Let's just let corporations live their truth
as the profit seeking Patrick Bateman psychopaths they are, at
the very least, we might finally, we might finally get
some honesty from them as well. Take a look, Hi,
(13:41):
we're corporate America, not any specific one, all of them.
And over the years we've pledged our commitment to some
important causes like gay rights, democracy, and something to do
with black people. But this month we're proud to celebrate
our biggest commitment of all. No longer pretending that we
give a shit about any of that. Part of our honesty, we.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
Pledge no more mission statements or awareness campaigns or promises
to increase diversity and management.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
You think a year ago would be putting up two
straight white people as spokesman, got No, we have hired
two diverse actors to pretend they worked here. What all.
But from now on, we're just going to go back
to doing what we are designed to do, making products
as cheaply as we can and selling them to you
at the highest price possible. Yes, but we'll still be
carbon neutral because it's important to get to net zero.
(14:32):
We never did that in the first place. I don't
even know what it means. And here at Corporate America,
love is love.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
No, we're not doing that. You already told me.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
I just got. When we come back to Moduct, we'll
be joing us. We'll go up. What about it go down?
(15:04):
So my guest tonight a basketball analyst, host and reporter
for ESPN as well as the voice of the New
York Knicks radio broadcast. Please welcome to the program, Monica McNutt.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Welcome, Welcome, Thank you, John.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
It's so nice to see you. Everyone is aware there
was a huge viral moment in sports reporting, and you, Monica,
were at the center of it concerning an appearance on
Stephen A. Smith's show and a young basketball player on
the Fever who's apparently generating quite a bit of controversy.
(15:56):
Tell us a little bit about that viral moment.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
All right, So the conversation, John, it started about the
foul over the weekend that Kenny Carter for the Chicago
Skuy foul Kaitlyn Clark of the Indiana Fever. And I'm
not gonna lie to you, John, if I take you
through my day that morning, I get the call or
the text rather than I'm like, are we really leading
sports with this?
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Are we really leading sports with a foul person got
knocked over in a marketball game in sports?
Speaker 3 (16:19):
All right, I'm like, fine, let's just do it.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
So we have the conversation with colleagues and friends, Steven
Nick Smith, Shannon Sharp. And my larger point in the
conversation was the tenor and the prevailing narrative that has
been created around this season's WNBA play is that it's
the league versus Kaitlyn Clark, and that is just absolutely false.
It is unfair to the women that have been there
building this league to this moment. So that Kaitlyn Clark's
popularity could take it to the next level. And so
(16:44):
by the end of the show, John, the tone had
changed and I just kind of needed to put my
foot down a little bit.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
There was some defensiveness on the part of the individuals.
You've covered basketball for many many years, you played basketball,
you follow the NBA for many years. You know what
you're talking The tenor of the conversation, as I could tell,
was they were saying to you, now, we know what
we're talking about, even though we just tuned into this
whole thing flashed Wednesday.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
And there it is, right And so, as I have
said about this, it was a little bit of a challenge, right,
two gentlemen that I admire in terms of what they've built,
because if you haven't been here, I need three years.
I need you to kind of have jumped in when
Sodona Prince went viral for calling out the NCAA, I
needed you kind of to be here as this league
has seen its best viewership year to year.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Now, yes it has.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Absolutely been taken over the top this year, but this
has been a snowballing effect to get to this moment.
And so while Kaitlyn is fantastic and I think she's
gonna have an incredible career in the w NBA. There
are women that were worthy of coverage prior to her arriving,
and I just will not be silenced when it comes to.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
That, right beautifully said now, and I'm gonna.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Tell you this comach.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
I have not particularly followed the WNBA on a day
to day. I follow when it's basketball sometimes more in college,
I think, and and in the old days, uh uh,
Don Staley and and those players. I did follow that, yep,
but I have incredibly strong opinions about it anyway. But
(18:15):
what did strike me when I started watching the highlights is,
you know, this is a very physical league. You know,
so many people complain about the NBA now as the
league is soft and they don't play like they did
like the Knicks did in the nineties with Oak and
with all Mason and all those guys. And then you
see this physical league and now they're saying, hey, why
(18:35):
so physical? And I guess I'm struggling to understand. Is
it because so many new fans are being introduced to
this who don't have the context, bingo.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Nail that you can you can have a talk show.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Let's go get out. Let's do it. I nailed. Let's
do the first take.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
First take a kidding? Is that? Yes? Right? And listen again?
Speaker 4 (19:00):
And I am by no means gonna be naive to
the popularity of Kaitlyn Clark, but there is a contingent
that followed her. And if let's expand it out to
bigger other women's college programs that have been terrific South Carolina, LSU,
we'll just go with those three Stanford if you will, right,
if you've only watched the college game for however long
and not follow the WNBA, you don't know that not
only are these one hundred and forty four of the
best women basketball players.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
In the world, most of them in their offseason, they're
not kicking it.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
They're in Europe playing in leagues that are arguably even
more physical, and so the brand of basketball just has
a level of toughness. Now to me, I think the
part of this conversation John that has been daunting for
me is sports is about competing.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
It is literally the foundation we need to score.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
We got to compete, and in the conversation around how
we navigate the attention on the women's game, somewhere in there,
competition should be watered down to protect the asset.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Yeah, now that's but you know in your heart, there
is another layer of conversation right going on beneath this
that has been introduced onto the stage, and that is, Look,
we all know everything that underlines society in many ways
goes along race, class and gender, and race, class and
(20:14):
gender has entered the conversation in a very large way.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
And I think what is interesting, And I'm hoping that
more folks are like, yo, this basketball is great, Like
I want to learn more about these women. Race, culture,
gender are things that the women of the WNBA have
never shied away from. Right, a part of the bubble
in twenty twenty, they impact the election that goes down
in Georgia in terms of standing on their values.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Right, But if we have a conversation about the societal.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Totem pole, if you will, black women, a large representation
of queer women, like these are all things that sit
at intersectional identities. That just opened up your show talking
about valuing these things.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
That's exactly.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
And so there are all these isms that have made
the WNBA beautiful for twenty eight years, including this season,
and even the WNBA has had to have its arc
in terms of growth and leaning into who they are
are and who these women are both on and.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Off the court. But it is at the base of it.
If we fir a second, can take all that out.
You really about to tell women how to compete. And
you just got here right well were doing.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
And what's so amazing about it is what I have
heard from some of the commentary are people who just
got there saying this is so unfair to the sweet
white girl. Now, first of all, Kaitlyn Clark looks like
a competitor. She looks like somebody who's really a competitor.
But the odd part is, I'm always interested in this
(21:34):
idea that sports exist outside of the fault lines of
regular society, and isn't a reflection of those things and
a continuation in some respects of those battles.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
That existence is for probably like twenty percent of men's sports.
And then you got to deal with race, and then
there's other things that you got to deal with. But
like we said, women's sports sits right in the midst
of all of that. We could be not talking about basketball,
and we got plenty of women's issues that we know
have our country on fire, right, and so I think
it's a beautiful time. And I don't think anybody that
(22:08):
is a part of this league or has covered this league. Sure,
we lament kind of keeping this little thing that we love,
to protect it from all of the noise, right, but
in the same breath, the eyeballs and the visibility and
the growth is better for all involved.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
I mean, frankly, John, like Gayln Clark got me here, right,
you know what I mean, And it's not true.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
So let me tell you this. So I am going
to tell you this. The viral moment maybe brought you
to some national attention. I have been loving what you do.
You are such a good basketball analyst and announcer. I've
been following you on the New York Dates, you and Okee.
Some of my favorite moments.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Are the two of you, the battle Keeper my partner
play play.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
By play guy. I mean, you're so knowledgeable. I love basketball.
I've been following the Knicks for one hundred and thirty years,
all right, yep. I was in the stands in Madison
Square Garden at the very top of it when they
played the Celtics in double overtime. When they won the
championship in seventy two, and that against the Celtics when
it looks like A, I've loved it for a long time.
(23:08):
Your voice, your knowledge, your passion has cut through it.
For me. It's very rare that I turn on the
radio or hear a new voice and go, oh, that
person they can explain this to me, and you really do.
You're a wonderful I wholeheartedly that's how you got here. Okay,
(23:30):
by the way, I'd have had you on every day
during the playoffs?
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Oh wow, yeah, guy, we had fun.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Is there some sense of like a little bit of
like when an indie band hits it big? Are there
people within the w NBA community who feel like, I
don't want this to belong to everybody. I want it
to belong to this band of sisters that have worked
so hard to make it something. WHOA.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
I have had that moment a few times because as
much as the conversation has been dictated by the audience, right,
we still haven't really sat up and talked about the
actual basketball.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Love it, John.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
I don't know how many.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
People just join the WNBA understand that the Las Vegas
aces are chasing down a three p which hasn't been
done since the formative years of the league. In the
Houston comments, I don't know how many people how many
people know that the Connecticut Sun just lost their first
game the other day.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
They were nine to notice start the season. Right, what
names can I help introduce you to?
Speaker 4 (24:27):
I mean, if you pick up a rolling stone, Asia
Wilson and Brandon Stewart are part of the next issue,
I believe. And so we've opened the door, but we're
still like looking in instead of walking in.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
If that makes if?
Speaker 1 (24:38):
I may absolutely rightoutely, and.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
So I think it's a really unique time.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
And even with this Olympic team stuff, right, Kaylen Clark,
who you mentioned is a tremendous competitor, said herself, that's
the toughest team to make.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Not surprised.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
And she's a rookie. She's just coming out of Iowash.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
She can say that, and she can also feel as
if something in her has been awoken in terms of
making that a goal of her. Right, I would hope,
and I know this is not a thing in sports.
We got to remember that two things can be true.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Right.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
She's been great for the league, but there were one
hundred and forty four women prior to her and this class, right,
that have gotten this thing up to year twenty eight.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Right, no question. And I think one of the difficulties
of it is because it's a small league. I think
people don't realize as small as the NBA is, there's
still two rounds of a draft, and there are guys
that get picked up out of a G league and
there's space on a team. There's a big roster. When
you're in the WNBA. Boy, there's just not that many teams,
and you're talking about a draft even when it's eighty
(25:34):
twelve d some of those people may not make the team.
There's a women that have been playing the game for
a very long time to that point.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
John likes the conversation about marketing. Yeah, sure, got it
makes sense, right, But there's also got to be a
realization that these women that have made this thing, they're living,
they are not necessarily chasing the financial benefit the w
Your highest played player is Max two hundred fifty.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Thousand dollars, right, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (25:57):
And so there is not how Brittney Grinder up in
Russia she was playing overseas, because it doesn't make that
that's exactly it.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
So many of these women supplement their income in the
league that they play out of love, to play at
home with their teammates in front of their families, and
they go get their real money overseas.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
That is changing. I do think that this class and
Clark is all a part of it changing.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
But I think just to slap on do this kind
of the money again is disrespectful and unfair to the
women that have gotten its lead to.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
This point as a broadcaster, in your story in some
ways mirrors the story of the WNBA in terms of
having to fight for attention with people who, in some
respects are not particularly humble about their position and slightly
(26:43):
defensive about those who may come at it from a
different perspective. Do you see that reflected in how what
you had to go through and your journey to get
to the desk that you're at now, And does that
give you hope for the WNBA's future.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
I'm first of all rolled about the WNBA's future. And yes, right,
I didn't go to the WNBA, but I played sports
all the way through college. Shout out to my Georgetown hoyas, right,
And so that foundation, that base, that understanding hard work, improvement,
that understanding of competition, all of those things have helped
me to be able to stand ten toes down in
these various rooms, in these various conversations.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Right, It's intimidating, it is.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
And in the same breath, the people that I'm having
conversations with, whether they are well established television personalities or
former athletes, they have done the same in their own way.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Right. But it is a reminder because of.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
My background in sports, shout out to keeping young girls
in sports For this exact reason, I too can be
confident in the work that I've done to get to
this place and for.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Me that has been beautiful.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Who that is beautiful? And it really brings up the
intersome question, who does have the worst takes?
Speaker 3 (27:49):
He ain't given day?
Speaker 1 (27:51):
He ainy given to day? All right, final question. I
am an Enormousknicks fan. Yes, we know, and I want
desperately to know if what I'm seeing if the love
that I'm feeling. I have opened my heart again, you know, Monica,
it's been so long. Thank you so much. I've opened
up my heart again to a basketball team. I never
thought it would happen again.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
I'm proud of you. I'm so proud of you. That
was a big move.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
But Monica, I have to tell you something. I'm afraid
to be hurt and will will the Knicks hurt me?
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Life is full of That was a hesitation.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
That was not That was a hesitation. I want them
to be great.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
I look, I think they are on the right track.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
All right, But you got to play the games. That's
why we go to them. And I don't want to
be in sad meme anymore, which is always what happens
when I'm at the games. Monica. What a delight to

This has been a Comedy Central podcast
You're listening to Comedy Central.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
From the most trusted journalist at Comedy Center.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
It's America's only sorts for news. This it's the Daily
Shot with your host show stupid.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Tell you that I didn't know where was coming from.
Welcome to the Daily Show. Please, my name's got Seorte.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
We got a lot.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
We got a lot going on in the world today,
very consequential, the things that you're seeing on the news
and all that, huge consequences. But I would be remiss
if I did not comment on the big news and
broadcasting Pat Sayjack. Patrick Sajack stepped down from Wheel of
Fortune after forty one years. It was incredibly emotional, and
(01:11):
I just want to say to Pat Sajack, have you
thought about just doing Mondays because you can phone that.
But of course he is gone, just in time for
(01:33):
Pride Months. Ironically, a little bitch you. Why Pride Months
is of course that time of year when corporations get
together and financially exploit the decades long struggle of gay
people for acceptance and equality. Hey, remember when you a
fire it from that bad job after you were outed. Well,
(01:55):
Burger King does with a burger that has two bottom buns. Yeah,
that's that's not a funny make them up scarred by
conversion therapy. Skittles is releasing a colorless version of Skittles,
(02:19):
apparently not wanting to confuse gay people with competing rainbows. Yeah.
And then there's this ad showing a family overcoming a
father's deep conservative values. As you watch it, try and
guess exactly what it is they're selling.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Mom, this is Amy, Hi, Amy, Hey, I'm.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
What does he doing?
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Did I do it right?
Speaker 3 (03:24):
What the fuck? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:28):
The next time you waste an enormous amount of paint
to apologize to your daughter for making a herd a
girlfriend walk on bigshells up weekend, not even saying anything,
just standing there with your little glowering beard face in
the shadows. Just take the face and give her an oreo.
(03:54):
And then, of course there's Target. Pride Months means so
much to them that they set up one small area
in their twenty thousand square feet of store to sell
you a Pride T shirt they had made in Indonesia
for twenty nine cents landing because they believe so much
in the cause. Well, Target will be dialing back. It's
Pride Month merchandise this June. What how will I learn
(04:18):
to live? Laugh? Lesbian? That's right. Target is apparently less
proud of pride this.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Year, but why retail giant Target is grappling with backlash
from conservatives over its most recent collection celebrating the LGBTQ community.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Not shop at Target or else. You're gay and you're
a perbert, even if I'm just getting paper towels. That
But that's the burden corporations must bear. They care almost
(05:02):
too much about the human condition, often finding themselves in
the crosshairs of ideologues and fundamentalists. But they stand by
their values, sometimes for a couple of months. For instance,
post January sixth, hundreds of corporations announced the end of
donations to senators or congressmen who voted to overturn the election,
and that moral stand in defense of democracy itself lasted
(05:26):
almost a month. Yeah, they ran the numbers, and apparently
you can sell more cell phones in the dictatorship. But
that month appears almost gandhiesque when compared to bud Light,
whose foray into inclusion was last April's incredibly not in
the public Space small promotional social media video with a
(05:47):
transgender influencer named Dylan mulvaney, prompting a conservative bud Light
murder purge Gode Man. Those beers had families, bud Light
(06:12):
sales plummeted, stocks tank and it only took two weeks
for Budweiser to issue an apology and run a new
ad campaign designed to win back the kind of people
who shoot at their products.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Let me tell you a story about a beer rooted
in the heart of America.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
A talking horse. You're apologizing about a transmitter influencer using
a talking horse. Well, tell us your story.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
National Velvet, found in a community where a handshake is
a sure contract.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
This is a story.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Bigger than beer. This is the story of the American spirit.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
First of all, I think that horse is scared shitless.
And second of all, the apology gift to the people
upset about Budweiser is a Budwiser curious but don't be sad,
for this is only following in a long line of
hollow corporate pandering meant to convince you that not only
are corporations people, they're good people, decent people who care
(07:29):
about the systemic ills of this great nation. We saw
this very clearly in the wake of George Floyd's murder.
Corporations saw people's demand for a reckoning with America's races passed,
and they said, sure us too.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
We are on a four hundred year long journey and
scars don't fade, but neither does hope.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
And in the fight against systematic racism and inequalities, the
Riders is committing to amplifying black voices.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
General Mills served the world by making food people love
and inclusion.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
It's one of our secret ingredients.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Times.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
Our purpose is to make life devicious, and we believe
we can't achieve that.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
No one essential ingredients diversity. Are you sure you don't
(08:39):
mean sodium trifoss? Meanwhile, while corporations forcefully pronounced their deeply
held value of promoting diversity on network television, their commitment
only lasted until the protests died down time for the
(09:01):
morning buzz.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Major tech giants including Google and Meta quietly slashing their diversity,
equity and inclusion jobs this year and laying off workers
in those departments. DEI related job postings in twenty twenty
three declined forty four percent.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Ah, I guess they only needed to use much less
of that ingredient than they thought they need It turns
out the recipe Craft wanted called for just a dash
of inclusion, just a sousson of diversity. So they're very
clearly conflicted between the high moral values that they think
we want and the amorl values that serve their shareholders. So,
(09:42):
if I may address corporate America quickly in this moment, stop,
we don't need any of this. We don't need to
know that your products are used by only the most
diverse families walking down sidewalks, are camping or diverse families
(10:04):
doing a ride or getting a loan or doing laundry
or a diverse I don't know what they are. This
guy doesn't thing. He's got a skin condition, and no
way is he dating her. No way, no way, there
is no way. Oh sure, we're supposed to believe how
(10:30):
many beautiful, multi racial young ladies are dating ezema opie.
Oh okay, okay, very believable. I apologize. I apologize sincerely
to that gentleman. And by the way, for those on
(10:53):
the right who wish corporations would just ditch the woke
performances and go back to good old fashioned patriotic values,
that's all bullshit too. For God's sakes, Spaghettios told us
not to forget Pearl Harbor. By the way, why is
the Spaghettio so happy about Pearl Harbor, see remembering it
(11:17):
or celebrating it. I wouldn't be surprised if Spaghettios supported
Pearl Harbor attack. Technically, a can of Spaghetios is a
sneak attack on your digestive system. Spaghettios, Spaghettios, they are
(11:41):
base of pasta. Why are we allowing ourselves to get
worked up over whether giant multinational corporations are pro gay
or have traditional American values? Because corporations have put one value,
shareholder value. That's all they have. That Budweiser horse that
(12:03):
wants to restore our American spirit is actually owned by
a Belgian Brazilian beverage conglomerate that all American Clydesdale's name
is probably Jean Locobo scenario. Even the corporations you think
are sincere, like Dove and their multi year commitment to
body positivity, are owned by Unilever, also the owner of
(12:27):
Axe Body Spray, and they're decades long commitment to anything
that moves. There is nothing corporations do that is not
in service of their bottom line. Even when you go
to the checkout at the grocery store and the little
card reader thing says, do you want to round up
to help feed some children? Well, the first thing I
(12:49):
think is, you're the one with all the food, why don't.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
You round some of that off?
Speaker 1 (12:56):
And then they got the balls. They got the balls
to put out a press release talk about how much
money they donated to stop world hunger. Than's my money,
you tell those kids, that's my money. Let's stop pretending
that a corporation can even be woke or unwoke, or
(13:17):
patriotic or unpatriotic. Let's just let corporations live their truth
as the profit seeking Patrick Bateman psychopaths they are, at
the very least, we might finally, we might finally get
some honesty from them as well. Take a look, Hi,
(13:41):
we're corporate America, not any specific one, all of them.
And over the years we've pledged our commitment to some
important causes like gay rights, democracy, and something to do
with black people. But this month we're proud to celebrate
our biggest commitment of all. No longer pretending that we
give a shit about any of that. Part of our honesty, we.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
Pledge no more mission statements or awareness campaigns or promises
to increase diversity and management.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
You think a year ago would be putting up two
straight white people as spokesman, got No, we have hired
two diverse actors to pretend they worked here. What all.
But from now on, we're just going to go back
to doing what we are designed to do, making products
as cheaply as we can and selling them to you
at the highest price possible. Yes, but we'll still be
carbon neutral because it's important to get to net zero.
(14:32):
We never did that in the first place. I don't
even know what it means. And here at Corporate America,
love is love.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
No, we're not doing that. You already told me.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
I just got. When we come back to Moduct, we'll
be joing us. We'll go up. What about it go down?
(15:04):
So my guest tonight a basketball analyst, host and reporter
for ESPN as well as the voice of the New
York Knicks radio broadcast. Please welcome to the program, Monica McNutt.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Welcome, Welcome, Thank you, John.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
It's so nice to see you. Everyone is aware there
was a huge viral moment in sports reporting, and you, Monica,
were at the center of it concerning an appearance on
Stephen A. Smith's show and a young basketball player on
the Fever who's apparently generating quite a bit of controversy.
(15:56):
Tell us a little bit about that viral moment.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
All right, So the conversation, John, it started about the
foul over the weekend that Kenny Carter for the Chicago
Skuy foul Kaitlyn Clark of the Indiana Fever. And I'm
not gonna lie to you, John, if I take you
through my day that morning, I get the call or
the text rather than I'm like, are we really leading
sports with this?
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Are we really leading sports with a foul person got
knocked over in a marketball game in sports?
Speaker 3 (16:19):
All right, I'm like, fine, let's just do it.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
So we have the conversation with colleagues and friends, Steven
Nick Smith, Shannon Sharp. And my larger point in the
conversation was the tenor and the prevailing narrative that has
been created around this season's WNBA play is that it's
the league versus Kaitlyn Clark, and that is just absolutely false.
It is unfair to the women that have been there
building this league to this moment. So that Kaitlyn Clark's
popularity could take it to the next level. And so
(16:44):
by the end of the show, John, the tone had
changed and I just kind of needed to put my
foot down a little bit.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
There was some defensiveness on the part of the individuals.
You've covered basketball for many many years, you played basketball,
you follow the NBA for many years. You know what
you're talking The tenor of the conversation, as I could tell,
was they were saying to you, now, we know what
we're talking about, even though we just tuned into this
whole thing flashed Wednesday.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
And there it is, right And so, as I have
said about this, it was a little bit of a challenge, right,
two gentlemen that I admire in terms of what they've built,
because if you haven't been here, I need three years.
I need you to kind of have jumped in when
Sodona Prince went viral for calling out the NCAA, I
needed you kind of to be here as this league
has seen its best viewership year to year.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Now, yes it has.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Absolutely been taken over the top this year, but this
has been a snowballing effect to get to this moment.
And so while Kaitlyn is fantastic and I think she's
gonna have an incredible career in the w NBA. There
are women that were worthy of coverage prior to her arriving,
and I just will not be silenced when it comes to.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
That, right beautifully said now, and I'm gonna.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Tell you this comach.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
I have not particularly followed the WNBA on a day
to day. I follow when it's basketball sometimes more in college,
I think, and and in the old days, uh uh,
Don Staley and and those players. I did follow that, yep,
but I have incredibly strong opinions about it anyway. But
(18:15):
what did strike me when I started watching the highlights is,
you know, this is a very physical league. You know,
so many people complain about the NBA now as the
league is soft and they don't play like they did
like the Knicks did in the nineties with Oak and
with all Mason and all those guys. And then you
see this physical league and now they're saying, hey, why
(18:35):
so physical? And I guess I'm struggling to understand. Is
it because so many new fans are being introduced to
this who don't have the context, bingo.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Nail that you can you can have a talk show.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Let's go get out. Let's do it. I nailed. Let's
do the first take.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
First take a kidding? Is that? Yes? Right? And listen again?
Speaker 4 (19:00):
And I am by no means gonna be naive to
the popularity of Kaitlyn Clark, but there is a contingent
that followed her. And if let's expand it out to
bigger other women's college programs that have been terrific South Carolina, LSU,
we'll just go with those three Stanford if you will, right,
if you've only watched the college game for however long
and not follow the WNBA, you don't know that not
only are these one hundred and forty four of the
best women basketball players.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
In the world, most of them in their offseason, they're
not kicking it.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
They're in Europe playing in leagues that are arguably even
more physical, and so the brand of basketball just has
a level of toughness. Now to me, I think the
part of this conversation John that has been daunting for
me is sports is about competing.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
It is literally the foundation we need to score.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
We got to compete, and in the conversation around how
we navigate the attention on the women's game, somewhere in there,
competition should be watered down to protect the asset.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Yeah, now that's but you know in your heart, there
is another layer of conversation right going on beneath this
that has been introduced onto the stage, and that is, Look,
we all know everything that underlines society in many ways
goes along race, class and gender, and race, class and
(20:14):
gender has entered the conversation in a very large way.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
And I think what is interesting, And I'm hoping that
more folks are like, yo, this basketball is great, Like
I want to learn more about these women. Race, culture,
gender are things that the women of the WNBA have
never shied away from. Right, a part of the bubble
in twenty twenty, they impact the election that goes down
in Georgia in terms of standing on their values.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Right, But if we have a conversation about the societal.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Totem pole, if you will, black women, a large representation
of queer women, like these are all things that sit
at intersectional identities. That just opened up your show talking
about valuing these things.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
That's exactly.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
And so there are all these isms that have made
the WNBA beautiful for twenty eight years, including this season,
and even the WNBA has had to have its arc
in terms of growth and leaning into who they are
are and who these women are both on and.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Off the court. But it is at the base of it.
If we fir a second, can take all that out.
You really about to tell women how to compete. And
you just got here right well were doing.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
And what's so amazing about it is what I have
heard from some of the commentary are people who just
got there saying this is so unfair to the sweet
white girl. Now, first of all, Kaitlyn Clark looks like
a competitor. She looks like somebody who's really a competitor.
But the odd part is, I'm always interested in this
(21:34):
idea that sports exist outside of the fault lines of
regular society, and isn't a reflection of those things and
a continuation in some respects of those battles.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
That existence is for probably like twenty percent of men's sports.
And then you got to deal with race, and then
there's other things that you got to deal with. But
like we said, women's sports sits right in the midst
of all of that. We could be not talking about basketball,
and we got plenty of women's issues that we know
have our country on fire, right, and so I think
it's a beautiful time. And I don't think anybody that
(22:08):
is a part of this league or has covered this league. Sure,
we lament kind of keeping this little thing that we love,
to protect it from all of the noise, right, but
in the same breath, the eyeballs and the visibility and
the growth is better for all involved.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
I mean, frankly, John, like Gayln Clark got me here, right,
you know what I mean, And it's not true.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
So let me tell you this. So I am going
to tell you this. The viral moment maybe brought you
to some national attention. I have been loving what you do.
You are such a good basketball analyst and announcer. I've
been following you on the New York Dates, you and Okee.
Some of my favorite moments.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Are the two of you, the battle Keeper my partner
play play.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
By play guy. I mean, you're so knowledgeable. I love basketball.
I've been following the Knicks for one hundred and thirty years,
all right, yep. I was in the stands in Madison
Square Garden at the very top of it when they
played the Celtics in double overtime. When they won the
championship in seventy two, and that against the Celtics when
it looks like A, I've loved it for a long time.
(23:08):
Your voice, your knowledge, your passion has cut through it.
For me. It's very rare that I turn on the
radio or hear a new voice and go, oh, that
person they can explain this to me, and you really do.
You're a wonderful I wholeheartedly that's how you got here. Okay,
(23:30):
by the way, I'd have had you on every day
during the playoffs?
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Oh wow, yeah, guy, we had fun.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Is there some sense of like a little bit of
like when an indie band hits it big? Are there
people within the w NBA community who feel like, I
don't want this to belong to everybody. I want it
to belong to this band of sisters that have worked
so hard to make it something. WHOA.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
I have had that moment a few times because as
much as the conversation has been dictated by the audience, right,
we still haven't really sat up and talked about the
actual basketball.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Love it, John.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
I don't know how many.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
People just join the WNBA understand that the Las Vegas
aces are chasing down a three p which hasn't been
done since the formative years of the league. In the
Houston comments, I don't know how many people how many
people know that the Connecticut Sun just lost their first
game the other day.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
They were nine to notice start the season. Right, what
names can I help introduce you to?
Speaker 4 (24:27):
I mean, if you pick up a rolling stone, Asia
Wilson and Brandon Stewart are part of the next issue,
I believe. And so we've opened the door, but we're
still like looking in instead of walking in.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
If that makes if?
Speaker 1 (24:38):
I may absolutely rightoutely, and.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
So I think it's a really unique time.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
And even with this Olympic team stuff, right, Kaylen Clark,
who you mentioned is a tremendous competitor, said herself, that's
the toughest team to make.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Not surprised.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
And she's a rookie. She's just coming out of Iowash.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
She can say that, and she can also feel as
if something in her has been awoken in terms of
making that a goal of her. Right, I would hope,
and I know this is not a thing in sports.
We got to remember that two things can be true.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Right.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
She's been great for the league, but there were one
hundred and forty four women prior to her and this class, right,
that have gotten this thing up to year twenty eight.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Right, no question. And I think one of the difficulties
of it is because it's a small league. I think
people don't realize as small as the NBA is, there's
still two rounds of a draft, and there are guys
that get picked up out of a G league and
there's space on a team. There's a big roster. When
you're in the WNBA. Boy, there's just not that many teams,
and you're talking about a draft even when it's eighty
(25:34):
twelve d some of those people may not make the team.
There's a women that have been playing the game for
a very long time to that point.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
John likes the conversation about marketing. Yeah, sure, got it
makes sense, right, But there's also got to be a
realization that these women that have made this thing, they're living,
they are not necessarily chasing the financial benefit the w
Your highest played player is Max two hundred fifty.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Thousand dollars, right, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (25:57):
And so there is not how Brittney Grinder up in
Russia she was playing overseas, because it doesn't make that
that's exactly it.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
So many of these women supplement their income in the
league that they play out of love, to play at
home with their teammates in front of their families, and
they go get their real money overseas.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
That is changing. I do think that this class and
Clark is all a part of it changing.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
But I think just to slap on do this kind
of the money again is disrespectful and unfair to the
women that have gotten its lead to.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
This point as a broadcaster, in your story in some
ways mirrors the story of the WNBA in terms of
having to fight for attention with people who, in some
respects are not particularly humble about their position and slightly
(26:43):
defensive about those who may come at it from a
different perspective. Do you see that reflected in how what
you had to go through and your journey to get
to the desk that you're at now, And does that
give you hope for the WNBA's future.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
I'm first of all rolled about the WNBA's future. And yes, right,
I didn't go to the WNBA, but I played sports
all the way through college. Shout out to my Georgetown hoyas, right,
And so that foundation, that base, that understanding hard work, improvement,
that understanding of competition, all of those things have helped
me to be able to stand ten toes down in
these various rooms, in these various conversations.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Right, It's intimidating, it is.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
And in the same breath, the people that I'm having
conversations with, whether they are well established television personalities or
former athletes, they have done the same in their own way.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Right. But it is a reminder because of.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
My background in sports, shout out to keeping young girls
in sports For this exact reason, I too can be
confident in the work that I've done to get to
this place and for.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Me that has been beautiful.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Who that is beautiful? And it really brings up the
intersome question, who does have the worst takes?
Speaker 3 (27:49):
He ain't given day?
