Dosey Sloan finds out what racial slurs you can't use in Scrabble anymore, and a police shooting trial is interrupted by a police shooting. So let's do this, people. Welcome to the Daily Social Distancing Show. From Trevor's couch in New York City to your couch somewhere in the world. This is the Daily Social Distancing Show with Trevor Noah. Ears Edition. Let's kick things off with this weekend's sad news for the British royal family. And no, they didn't get another black grandchild.

I'm talking about the death of Prince Philip at age 99. And as heartbroken as I'm sure you were, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was th, it was thi, it was to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thoomome, thoomoomorrow, thoooomorrow, the thoooome, thoooomorrow thooooome, thooooomorrow, thoomorrow, thi, grandchild. I'm talking about the death of Prince Philip at age 99. And as heartbroken as I'm sure you were, it was nothing compared to how some people felt. For a tribe in the Pacific Islands, Prince Philip's death is also difficult. Villagers believed him to be a god, and he maintained a relationship with them for decades. On tana, one of dozens of islands that make up the Pacific nation of Vanuatu, it's a place

of mourning right now. For a prince, half a world away. For the past 50 years, villagers here have regarded Prince Philip as a god. And Philip, known at times for his off-color remarks and gaffs, maintained a respectful relationship with them. Over several decades, with them. Over several decades, sending them gifts, some were even invited for a visit to the UK.

Anthropologists say, there was a legend in Vanuatu in the 60s that a pale-skinned son of a mountain god would travel across the seas and marry a rich and powerful woman. Villagers would have likely seen pictures of Philip and the Queen in government offices. Somehow, the connection stuck. That's right. While to many people, Prince Philip was just that mean that mean that mean the thrown, to these Pacific Islanders, he was literally a god. And I know that may seem silly, but honestly, it's not any weirder than how the British saw him. Oh my God, these silly villagers.

He's not a god, he's a prince, which is a real thing that we didn't make up. My only issue with Philip being a god is that the guy said a lot of racist and xenophobic things over the years. I mean, how do they deal with that in church every Sunday? We will now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now th th th that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that the. that that that that that that that that that the. the. that that that that that that the. that the. that that that that that th. that th. that that that that that that that that that that that is is that is that is th. th. that is th. that is that is th. that is th. that is the. that is the. that is the. the. that is the is the is the. the. the. that that the is the. the. the. that the. that the. that is that of Philip. Okay, not that page. Maybe the... Okay, no, no, not that one. You know what, let's just go straight to communion. Fish and chips for everyone. Now, you know, the thing I found interesting is that they chose him as their god because their legend said a god with pale skin would marry a rich woman. And if that's true, well, then news, guys, because I have found a new god for you.

You know what's gonna be awkward? Is if Prince Charles tries to take his dad's place now? Well, now that my father is gone, I guess you will be looking for a new deity. Ah, you know what, we're good. We're just gonna convert to Buddhism. Thank you, though. Moving th now. Moving now, to to to political now, to political now, to political now, to political to political to political to political to political to political to political to political to political to political to political to political to political to political to political to political to political just going to convert to Buddhism. Thank you, though. Moving on now to political news. Matt Gates, Florida congressman and fraternity brother who wants to show you something in his room has been under fire since news broke of him being under investigation over possible

sex trafficking. But like a Karen, in a bath and body works, he refuses to back down. Tonight, Florida Congressman Matt Gates defiant. I'm built for the battle, and I'm not going anywhere. The House Ethics Committee launching a new bipartisan investigation into Gates, examining allegations of sexual misconduct, elicit drug use, and accusations that the congressman may have shared inappropriate and explicit images on the House floor. The Justice Department investigating whether Gates and his associate Joel Greenberg paid women who were allegedly recruited

online for sex and travel. According to the Daily Beast, Gates sent Joel Greenberg $900 in two late-night Venmo transactions in 2018. Greenberg used the same app to send three young women including one who had recently turned 18 varying sums of money that amounted to $900. Greenberg made the payments to the three young young young young young young young young young young young young young young young young young to to theeeoleoleoleoleoleoleole. to to to the to to the the the to to the to to the to to to to to to to to to to to to the the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to women. their women. their women. their women. their women. their women. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the they. the they. they. the they. the the the they.e.e. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the sums of money that amounted to $900. Greenberg made the payments to the three young women with the descriptions tuition, school, and school. Okay, we have to wait for all the facts to come in. But you have to agree, this is not a good look for Matt Gates.

He venmosed it to sleazy friend, and then that same friend, Venmoves it to three young women for tuition? $300? For tuition? Yo, this is how much college education you can afford with $300. Welcome, everybody, to Physics 101. But at the same time, it looks like Matt Gates is so stupid that he might have paid girls for sex on Venmo. I mean, you think you know a guy. And then it turns out, yeah, you're totally right.

You do know him pretty well. Now, the reason I don't think it was for tuition is because he wrote tuition. People. Nobody writes the real thing for a Venmo payment, all right? You always write something funny or weird, like for butt medicine. If these guys wanted to hide that they were paying for sex, they should have actually written money for sex.

Then people would have been like, well, obviously, the money wasn't for sex. It was probably for his butt medicine. And, honestly, most people don't even use theeeeeeeee emoges. You'd think a guy who hangs out with teens would know that. And emoges actually make the most sense if you're trying to cover something up. That's how I got away with clown-faced, Belgian flagged sushi dolphin without the feds, ever finding out. But let's check in now on Iran.

The last country that America needs to get tick-tac-toe. Iran has been racing to enrich as much uranium as it can while talks over its nuclear program continue, but it just hit a bit of a snag. A developing story overseas concerning Iran's nuclear program. An incident and one of Iran's uranium enriched sites triggered a power outage and there are suggestions that Israel is behind the sabotage. It comes a day after Iran started testing its newest, most advanced, nuclear centrifuge. American intelligence officials say the site could be out of business for months. Iran may be pointing the finger directly to Israel, but Israel is not officially commenting

as of yet on what happened. However, we have seen some possible hints in the last 24 hours. Israeli media for their part are citing unnamed sources saying that it was the Israeli Masa-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-nucli-nucli-nucsonuch. the the the the the the th. thi-nuch. th. thi-nuce-n. thi-nu. their-nu, the-n't-n. the-n. the-n. the-n. their-n. the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th-n. th-n. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi-n. thi-n't-n't-n't-n't-nc just-nc-nc-nclargea-ncenea-nui-nc which, ttttttttttttttttttttttttriu.a-nc. thau. thau.. Israeli media, for their part, are citing unnamed sources saying that it was the Israeli Massad agency behind this attack. And we've seen some comments from Israeli officials that seem to hint at some sort of involvement. Damn, again? They did this again. Yo, how does Israel keep wrecking Iran's shit like this? They sabotaged the centrifuges, they assassinated scientists, and now they shut down an entire plant?

I mean, we know they probably have people on the inside. You don't need to be a genius to figure that out. But now, I'm starting to think that Iran's entire nuclear program is just Israeli spies. I mean, it's probably a giveaway that they gave everyone the day off for Passover. That was probably a sign, right? But apparently, this blackout was an incredibly complicated operation. You see, what they did was, Israeli agents took the whole nuclear site and plugged it into the Texas power grid.

Honestly, they may never get it back online. The one silver lining for Iranian nuclear scientists is that they can always blame Israel if they screw up on the job. You're two hours late for work, Paviz! Arjahan, it's not my fault. Israel forgot to set my alarm clock. Oh, okay, then don't worry about it. Oh, and by the way, Israel ate your yogurt from the fridge. Ugh, those Israelis. Now, while Iran's nuclear program may be on hold,

one thing that's definitely not on hold is coronavirus. It's the pandemic that keeps on going long after it should, like a zombie on the walking dead, or just the walking dead. Even as millions of Americans are getting vaccinated every day, there are places where coronavirus is still as out of control as a Zoom kindergarten. And no state has it worse right now than Michigan. Has new cases of COVID-19 surge in Michigan? State leaders are begging for a surge of vaccines.

Think about surging vaccines into the state of Michigan. Some national health experts are rallying behind them. We need to get in the habit of trying to to surge to surge to surge to surge to surge to surge to surge to surge to surge to surge to surge to surge to surge to surge to surge the the the state of Michigan. Some national health experts are rallying behind them. We need to get in the habit of trying to surge resources into those hot spots. And Michigan is a hot spot. COVID-19 positivity rates haven't been this high here since the start of the pandemic. And hospitalizations are nearing peak levels. The Biden administration so far, sticking to its plan of doling out vaccines based on population. When you take it away from one state you never know where you're going to have another surge. Okay look this is a complicated situation but I

don't know if the Biden administration's logic makes sense here. You can't move vaccines from other states because they might get a surge. Yo, Michigan has a surge right now. That's like having a rhino on the loose. An animal control says, sorry, we can't help you, because if we come over there, a hippo might pop up over here. We can't take the risk. If you ask me, the simplest and fairest way to decide where the vaccines should go, is you get a giant map of the United States, and then you have Dr. Fauci throw a dart at it. Yeah. And with the way he throws, some doses might finally go to Africa.

Yes, we did it Africa! Oh, and now, the CDC is saying that instead of more vaccines, what Michigan needs is another shutdown. But instead, Governor Whitmer is just suggesting that people stop gathering in groups and going to restaurants. I know a lot of people are like, why would you do that, governor, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thoaa. thoaa. thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. thii. thi. thi. thi. groups and going to restaurants. I know a lot of people are like, why would you do that, Governor, why not do something stronger? Yo, in the Governor's defense, don't forget, the last time she try to mandate safety precautions, the state capital got stormed and a bunch of crazy people try to kidnap her. So I can see why this time she's like, you guys do your own things. I'm th what tho tho tho tho tho th. tho thu thu thu thu thu thu thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thr- thr- thr- thr. thr-s, you thrown. thi. tho-s, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, th. tho, th. th. th. tho, tho, thi. thi. thi. thi. thr. thr. thr. thr. thr-s. thr-s. thr-s. toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo- fissuers don't want to order a take out. And here's why the CDC says more

vaccines aren't the solution. If a community starts getting vaxed up now, it will still take six weeks before people they have immunity, which means it's far more important for people who are still waiting for the vaccine to just continue wearing masks. And while this should be easy for most people to understand, well, Florida still exists. A new study found continued mask use could save 14,000 lives across the US. They say even the vaccinated should wear masks because of new COVID strains.

But down in Florida, defiance in Fort Lauderdale, where a crowd in the hundreds, gathered for what was billed as a million maskless-marching............... their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th. th. thiia. thia, thia, thii. thiol-in. th. th. th.

Lauderdale, where a crowd in the hundreds gathered for what was billed as a million maskless march, burning their face coverings, all while Florida continues to see increases in cases and deaths, experts pointing to mostly mask-less spring break celebrations as a factor. Wow, what a dream protest for Trump supporters. You get to destroy your mask and increase carbon emissions. Woo! And in fact, according to a new poll, burning pile of masks is

now the frontrunner in Florida's next Senate race. For real though, people, this protest was ridiculous, especially at the end when Matt Gates threw his phone into the fire. I mean, I was just weird, why would he... On the other hand, though, we are talking about Florida here. So I'm just impressed that they took off their masks before they let them on fire. Oh, and just by the way, can you please stop calling your shit million-something march?

Right? If you're not gonna get a million people, then, then to use it. do is call it the 12-person march so that when 40 people show up we'll all be like, damn look at that turnout. But let's move on now to our main story. Policing in America. We are now entering week three in the trial of Minneapolis police officer Derek Shelvin for the murder of George Floyd and it says just about all you need to know that even as the trial is going on protests are raging once again in Minneapolis over the the killing the killing the killing the killing the killing the killing the the the the the the the the the the the ofing ofing ofing to to to to to the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to do. to do. to do. to do. to do. to do. to do. to do. to do. to do. to do. to do. to do. to do. to do. to do. to do. to do. to do. to do. to do. to do. to do. to do. to do. to do. to do. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. to te. to to te. to to even as the trial is going on, protests are raging once again in Minneapolis over the killing of another unarmed black man. Dante Wright.

Overnight, protest erupted in Brooklyn Center, a suburb of Minneapolis after a fatal police shooting of a black man during a traffic stop. The Minnesota National Guard deployed police deploying tear gas to clear the crowds.

The Minnesota National Guard deployed police deploying tear gas to clear the crowds. Police say officers tried to arrest a driver on an outstanding warrant when the man tried to get back into his vehicle. That's when police say an officer shot him. According to the police chief, the officer was attempting to draw her taser but accidentally pulled her gun and fired it. You have got to be fucking kidding me. A man was killed at a traffic stop

because the police officer mixed up their gun and their taser? Is that even supposed to be a legitimate excuse? Like we're supposed to watch that and go, oh, okay, one time I use sugar instead of salt so I can relate. And look, I'm not saying that tragic mistakes will never happen. But what I am saying is that maybe if the police weren't so quick to draw any weapon, then maybe people wouldn't die because of a mix-up from Officer Urkel over here. And by the way, don't you find it amazing that cops think everything is a gun except their own gun? If you have a cell phone in your hand, th.... the th, if you're the their th, if you're their th, if you're th, if you're th, if you're th, if you're their th, if you're their th, but their their their their their their their their thi their thi thi thi thi thi thi the way, don't you find it amazing that cops think everything is a gun except their own gun?

If you have a cell phone in your hand, oh that's a gun, if you're holding a wallet, oh that's a gun, their own gun, no, not a gun, not a gun. And even if it was just a mistake, that you just forgive and walk away. Especially since you know the people jumping to her defense for using a gun instead of a taser, those are the same people who want their waiter fired for bringing them a regular coke instead of diet. Now regardless of the specifics of how it happens, incidents involving police getting out of control with black suspects are still far too common. And you know that because this shooting in Minnesota isn't the only example of police brutality people are talking about today. Developing this morning in the state the state state state state state state state state the state the state the state the state the state the state the't the only example of police brutality people are talking about today. Developing this morning in the state of Virginia, the governor there is calling for an independent

investigation after the release of a disturbing police body cam video. It shows officers drawing their guns on an army lieutenant in uniform and pepper sprang him during a traffic stop that took place last December. That army lieutenant says the two officers violated his constitutional rights, and now one of those officers has been fired. Put your hands out the window! A Windsor police officer says in his report, he spotted a vehicle with dark-tinted windows and no license plate displayed that was eluding police.

Though a lawsuit says a paper license plate was visible in the rear window of the new car. Nizarrio admits in his complaint complaint plate the complaint the complaint the complaint the complaint the complaint the complaint the complaint the complaint the complaint the complaint the complaint the complaint the complaint the complaint the complaint the complaint the complaint the complaint the complaint the complaint the police the police the police the police the police the police the police the police. the the the their. to. the police. to to to to to. to. to. the officer. to. to. the officer. to. the officer. the officer. to. to. the officer. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. the officer. to. the officer. the officer. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the t. t. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. the the the the the the te. te. the rear window of the new car. Nazario admits in his complaint that he didn't immediately pull over, driving nearly two minutes with his hazard lights on so he could stop at a well-lit gas station. What's going on? Get out of the car now! Nizario, who is black and Latino and was wearing his military uniform, asks repeatedly why he's being detained. I'm serving this country and this is how I'm treated. What th. What th. What tho. What the the the thin, thin, thi. What thi. What thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. N. Niz. Niz. Niz. Niz. Niz. Niz. Niz. Niz. Niz. Niz. Niz. Niz. Niz. Niz. Niz. Niz. Niz. Niz. Niz. Niz.

You're fixing to ride the lighten, son. And then this exchange. I'm honestly afraid to get out.

Can I? Yeah, you should be. Get out. Back up. Officer Joe Gutierrez then pepper sprays Nazario in the face. Hold on. What is? This is fucked up. This is fucked up. Lieutenant Nazario had his hands hanging out of the window, but he still got threatened. He still got pepper sprayed and he still got thrown on the ground. And the whole time, mind you, the whole time, these cops are saying the craziest shit to him.

You should be scared. Oh, you're fixing to ride the craziest shit to him. You should be scared. Oh, you're fixing to ride the lightning. How the fuck is that professional? Ride the lightning? You're not hyping a ride at six flags, man. You're dealing with someone's life. And how crazy is it? That this driver, think about it.

He knew to get to a gas station so that he would have decent lighting for the encounter. Imagine, just think about that for a moment. Police brutality has forced everyday black Americans to become lighting experts. Oh yeah, the lighting here is great. You'll be able to see the cops whip my ass. This is much better. And don't forget, please don't forget. This is how cops treated one of the troops, huh? The troops while he was wearing his uniform. Not a hoodie, not baggy. th. thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi to to to to to to to to to toe toe to toe toe toe toe toe toe to to to to be to to to be to be to be to be to be to be toe toe toe toe toe toe toe toe toe toe toe toe toe toe toe toe toe toe toe toe. So to police police police police police police police police police toe. Police toe. Police toe. Police their their their their their their their their their their the police police police. their thea. thea. toa. toea. toease toease toe. toe. toe. treated one of the troops, huh? The troops while he was wearing his uniform, not a hoodie, not baggy pants. So what's the excuse this time? Huh? I mean, if a black man in military uniform can't get humane treatment from the police, then what chance does every other black person in America have?

I mean, at this point, black people should just start singing the Star-Spangled Banner when they get pulled over. Then maybe, just maybe the cops will be like, well, I don't want to pepper-spray the anthem, what do I do? But if you're surprised that a member of the military is having his rights abused, then you need to understand, the police don't give a shit. They don't care if you're a member of their, their, their're recording him. Shit, they don't even care if they're recording themselves. And the reason they don't care is because they know they're gonna get away with it. And until that changes, they're just gonna keep not caring.

All right, when we come back, D'O'Seloan finds out if you can use the N-word in Scrabble. And Miguel is still joining us on the show, but don't go away. When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it. This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television. Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives. But that's all about to change. Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible.

I'm Seth Done of CBS News. Listen to 60 Minutes a second look, starting September 17th, wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back to the Daily Social Distancing Show. Over the past year, it seems like every American company has taken steps to advance racial progress, from children's books to pancake syrups, and now even a board game. Dosey Sloan has more. Scrabble, it's the game that's missing pieces in the Airbnb you rent, but it turns out people do play it. And right now, they're having some drama. The North American Scrabble Players Association

may soon get rid of offensive terms from its official word list. Hold up. They're only getting rid of slurs now. So words they could get you kicked off of Twitter used to help you win a scrabble tournament. I ask tournament player Lisa Odom why she supported the band. I mean playing at home I don't think you're as aware that those words are allowed, but when you're playing a club situation or a tournament situation, they're definitely allowed there.

Everyone has that initial shock and then you kind of explain and then I was like, why don't we have to give them that shock and, you know, do they really need to be in the game? Now I know you want you want you want you want you want you want you want you want you want you want you want you want you want you want you want you want you want you want you want you want you want you want you want you want you want you want you want you want you want you want you want you want to to take you want to take you want to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the their their their the the the the the the the the the the the the try the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to the to to is it because you're trying to make sure other people don't get more points in you? This is a safe space, you can tell me? I mean, if they're not there for me, they're not there for you, and so then we would have to make the next place play without it? What if only people in that group that the slurs are against play the words. No, no I don't agree. So what kind of slurs are we talking about?

To find out, I chat with Will Anderson, 2017 North American Scrabble Champion and NASPA veteran. So the words that we've specifically targeted are ones that are racial, ethnic, gender, anything relating to a person's identity. Okay, let's take a look at the list. Greybeard, isn't it a Game of Thrones family? I think Greybeard is like an ageist word. What is Pepsi? Is that a term for black people?

It's actually an offensive word for French Canadian people. Then if you have super bitch you need to put mega bitch on there as well. I, that one I honestly have no idea the the the the the th th th th th th th th th th th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi to to to thi, to thi, thi, the the the the, to to thi, the, the, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. th need to put mega bitch on there as well. I that one I honestly have no idea why that's here. The list is 255 words long and they're so bad we can't even show them to you. Wow! People are awful and it's not surprising which demographic it's the most words. What the hell's a blackamore? Blackamore is an archaic word for a black person. Okay, we've got darky, jigaboo, mulatto, picatinny, shfarts. Honestly, it's nice to see that white people took a lot of time to call black people a lot of different things. So Will, what kind of person would play an offensive slur just to win a board game? Well, in my very, very first tournament, I played the C word against an elderly woman.

To an 80-year-old woman? To a very elderly woman. I had a lot of consonants and it scored well and she didn't bat an eye. Now, after that, did she play the word micro penis? And why were all these words even used in Scrabble tournaments right up until the year the year the year the year th........ the year th. I th. I th. I th. I the the the year the thi-a thi-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-c-c-c-c-a-s the-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-cied-cied-a-a-a-cied-a-cied the Ca-cied the Ca-cied the Ca-cene the Ca-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-ss theaea-s thea-s thea-s thea-sa-sa-sa-sea-sea-sea-sa-sea-sea-sea-wordea-wordea-c-wordea-c-c-wordea-c-c-wordea-curedea-curedea-cured word word word word us, did that happen? And why were all these words even used in Scrabble tournaments right up until the year 2020? I don't think anybody approves of the use of slurs to offend or demean other people in the Scrabble community, but once you're a tournament Scrabble player for long enough, the definitions of the words almost cease to matter to us at all. It's just that the words words words the words the words the words the words the words the words the words the words the words the words. the words. the words. the words words words words words words. the words words words words words words words words words words. the words words the words. the word words the word words words. the word words words words the word words the word words the word. the word words the word words the word. the word words. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to. to. to. the word. the word. the word. the word. the word. the word. the word. the word. the word. the word. the word. the word. the word. the word. the word. the word. the word. the word. the word. the word. te. the word. the word. today. the word. to. the word. to. almost cease to matter to us at all. It's just that the words are playing pieces.

But if a word is just a word, would someone be so bold to play the N-word when my melonated self is sitting across from this table with these tiles in my hand? You know? A lot of people felt that that's the one that we can all agree shouldn't be in there? If we're doing the wrong wrong wrong wrong wrongthen we should change it because it's the correct choice for us to do. Okay, so a ban on the n-word especially seems reasonable. But surprisingly, some people disagree.

Like Randall Kennedy, the author of... Oh wow, that's bold. Okay, so I'm just, who, I'm glad to see you're black. So you disagree with the decision to take the slurs out of tournament play. If we're talking about Scrabble, you know, what's the purpose of the game? The purpose of the game is for people to identify words and that there's points attached to identifying the words. Well, is the N word or the S word, the answer is yeah, the words.. their their their their their their their words. their words. their words. their words. their words. their words. their words. their words. their words. their words. the words. the words. the words. the words. the words. the words. their words. the words. the word the the the the the the the the n-word or the S word or the F word are those words? The answer is, yeah, their words.

Well, if their words, why not use them in this game? Okay, so if you're sitting across from someone playing a nice little game of scrabble on a Sunday afternoon and someone laid down the n-word, you wouldn't be offended. No. You know, if someone was using the infamous infamous N-word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word. the word word word word word. the word word word word. Is word. Is word.

Is the word. Is the word. Is the the word. Is the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their words, is, is, is, is their their words, is their words, is, is their words, is their words, is their someone was using the infamous in word to demean somebody I would say repress it but that's not what's going on here. I think we need to be very careful even the use of the word use. Are they using the word or

are they simply reciting somebody else's use of the word? You just lawyered me. No, no, no, no, you just lured me. That's what just happened. Because now we're in a court of law, and it's like, your honor, I did customer service for a long time. Customer service and lawyering is the same thing, Dr. Kennedy.

Well, one thing that can be used in a hateful way by making them taboo. Maybe Professor Kennedy has a point about giving the N-word too much power, but if you ask me, why use a word that invokes centuries of racist hatred and oppression to score points, when there are plenty of non-offensive words you can use. What the fuck? Dulce, stop. Seriously, it's, ugh, it's not funny. Sorry, carrot top. You're not on a bad list. Thank you so much, Doolsay.

All right, when we come back, the Incredible Miguel will be joining us on the show to talk about his brand new EP, so stick around. When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it. This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television. Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives. But that's all about to change. Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible.

I'm Seth Done of CBS News. Listen to 60 Minutes, a second look, starting September 17th, wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back to the Daily Social Distancing Show. My guest tonight is Grammy-award-winning artist Miguel. We talk about what he's been up to over the last couple of years, his brand-new EP, and so much more. Miguel, welcome to the Daily Social Distancing Show. Yeah, thanks for happening, man. You know, you're one of those people who sticks in my memory because you're one of the memories I have pre-pandemic of enjoying life, going out with other human beings, and it's because I saw your performance at Coachella. I remember how crazy was, it was amazing, you know,

like you were just, you were rocking it and we were all outside and you take those things for granted. I remember being like, man, there's too many people here. And now I dream for a day when there'll be too many people again. As somebody who spent so many years entertaining human beings on stage, what has it been like for you not being on stage for this long? It's been such a weird groundhog day. I thought I really thought I wanted to take a break from touring and then I felt really responsible when it all happened it

was like we can't when I was like oh my bad I did this was this my fault but right right yeah now it's like you know it's definitely something I miss the most and and Just also the the things that you can't You can't convey through a screen, you know, like energy of a crowd is just a that feeling is is unanimous, you know, Right, right? It's just hard to capture, but you know, we're all doing our best and I'm really grateful to You you know, to see that and know that our family was okay and just, you know, hope the best for everyone who had to do with any of the tragedy, because it's just a lot of tragedy over the last year. You're one of those artists who's just like, you've inhabited the space, their own niche that can't easily be filled by somebody else. And people have tried to place you.

They go like, oh, he reminds us of Prince or maybe it's a little bit of this, but it's Miguel. That's really what it is. It's Miguel. And for fans of yours, like myself, 2017 was the last time we got our dose of Miguel. It has been a long, long time since then, especially of the pandemic. And now finally, I'm hearing good news, and that is, Miguel is back in the music. We saw the drop, Adita Sheik, volume four.

Tell me about why you thought now was the right time to drop the music. Yeah, it's been such a long time. I was trying to figure out what was real to share, because I think that's pretty much what I always start with, and I try my best to have offerings that reveal something new about me, and as much as I love to have fun, and I want to help add to those moments for other people, I just feel like there's a ton of reality that we're all sort of processing in real-time, and we're seeing how important is to sort of just be honest. I think that's what gets us us us us us us us us us us us us us us us us us us us us us us us us us us us us us us us us thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. to, to, to, to have, you, you, you, to have, to have, to have, thi. thi, thi, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, their, we're seeing how important it is to sort of just be honest. I think that's what gets us to human empathy, like honestly, have so much to do with each other. So I just felt like the best thing I could do and the best way to be of service was to do what I do best and hopefully give people music that allows them to feel like or reminds him that it's normal

and natural to to you know sort of feel the pressure of society of social media to smile in the face of you know everything that we're dealing with when in reality there's so many things happening for everyone behind the scenes that we don't share that affects us and makes it a challenge. So I just kind of wanted to, you know, it's really coming from a place of how can I be of service and yeah, I think music is always going to be that first place for me. What's really fascinating to me about Art De Lauchique is like your EPs, like a different avenue to express yourself. What do you think it is about the EPs versus the albums that gives you the opportunity to give us an unfiltered taste of Miguel?

It's probably, yeah, I think it's probably the name, Art Dealer Sheik and the concept behind it, and that really just is about choosing and curating the way that we think or act, the way that we feel and being, being at the helm the helm the helm the helm of the helm of the helm of the helm of the helm of the helm of the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the that we think or act, the way that we feel and being at the helm of that as opposed to sort of being on autopilot, or, you know, sort of so coming to any pressures. It's just like really about the freedom of choice. And because that's sort of the premise of the whole, you know, it's just a place that feels like, you know, it's really easy to do.

And my fans expect, so it's really beautiful, it's awesome. It feels like you're doing everything. It feels like you're comfortable doing everything, which is what I really enjoy about watching you work, you know, whether it's creating new music, whether it's working with Rihanna for Fenty.

I mean that a few years ago wasn't the sexiest thing in the world but you were someone who came out or you you've always talked about therapy whether it's for couples or for individuals.

I will keep myself that, but talking

about mental health is something that I'm going to instill in everybody. Why did you feel the need to do that? I mean, the real thing is a platform to reach people. You start to realize that there's opportunity to help somebody somewhere. And I guess just just not wanting to take that for granted. And realize there's a kid like the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need need need need need need need need need need need need need need need need need need need need need need need need need need need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need the need to to to to not wanting to take that for granted and realize there's a kid like me somewhere that grew up in some neighborhood that was underprivileged like I was or came from a, you know, broken family or is of mixed heritage like I am or, you know, just all the different things that you could be because everyone's dealing with something, you know, I would have loved to have someone reminding me that I have the choice to choose to choose the the way the way to choose the way to choose the way to choose to choose the way to choose to choose the way to choose to choose the way to choose to choose the way to choose the way... to choose to choose to choose to choose to choose the way to choose to to choose the way the way to choose to to to to to to to to th. thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to thi. to to to to the to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi. thi. thi. to to the. to to to to to the. to to to te. to to te. tea.

You can, right? Those things are, that's the thing is like, we get operating systems on our phones like every two, I don't know, two months now or something like that and, you know, what's the personal operating system upgrade? Oh, and I think the earlier we can instill that in, you know, other, you know, younger kids or younger people, the more likely they're, they're going their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th.. their, th. th. th.

That's the future, so I just think of that kind of thing. Yeah, man. I appreciate it, I appreciate what you speak on. I appreciate the music that you put out. I appreciate you being you being, throwne. think it's inspiring to see people who work at being comfortable being themselves, because I think it inspires everyone to try and do the same thing. So I'm excited, thank you for the music. Thank you.
