The smartest way to hire. Hey, what's going on everybody? Welcome to the daily social distancing show. I'm Trevor Noah. Today is Monday the 30th of November, which means there's only 51 days left until Trump can start his new job,

wishing white nationalists a happy birthday on cameo. Happy birthday to you Brian and all your Nazi friends on both sides. Anyway coming up on tonight's show, Why Santa is going to be sober this year. America's new president is already broken and basketball superstar Steph Curry is joining us on the show to show us his underwear. 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 it off with some news from the world of boxing.

The only sport where it always looks like the athletes are just about to kiss. Watching grown men punch each other is the perfect way to work off some of that post-thanksgiving aggression. And over the weekend, there were two big fights that showed how the sweet science is as sweet as ever. Saturday night, 54-year-old Mike Tyson fought 51-year-old Roy Jones Jr. Eight two-minute rounds over at Staples Center. The fight was unofficially ruled a draw by the judge's ringside. The other match of the night, YouTube star Jake Paul took on former NBA star Nate Robinson. Eventually Paul hit Robinson. that's right.

Knockout punts, sitting right to the canvas. Wow, that's the first time I've ever seen a human get dunked. It looked like one minute he was trying to catch a bus, and then he was like, oh no, I'm supposed to be taking a nap. And can someone tell me why a YouTube star is fighting an NBA star anyway? What is this? This is just 2020 making shit up. It doesn't make sense. It sounds like they were just matching up professions out of a hat. And in the next fight, we'll see a Nobel physicist

versus musical legend, Tony Bennett. To me, the better fight was the main event between Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. It was so much fun to watch, you know, two great boxes going head. th. And, and th. And, and th. And, and th. And, and th. And, and th. And, and th. And, and th. And, and th, and th, and th, and th, and thi, and thi, and thi, and they were, they were, they were, they're, thi, and they're they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they's, they's, they, they, they, they, they, they, they's, they, they, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, they're, they're, the th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the, the, tho, thee, thean, thean, theee, the, thi, thi, their, their, Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. It was so much fun to watch, you know? Two great boxers going head to head, you know, and they were moving, they still knew how to fight, although obviously they're still in their 50s, you know? So it was kind of like watching a fight scene from the Irishman, except with double the amount of black people from the Irishmen. Now, I know some some people people people people people people people people people people some some some some people people people some some some some some some some people the their people their people their people their people their people their people their people their people the worth the 50 bucks that they paid on pay-per-view. But right now people, this is the only place you can see two middle-aged men fighting. I mean now that COVID has canceled all the little

league games, where else are you going to get that action baby? Speaking of older men, let's move on to Joe Biden. President elects and the guy Don Jr. thrown, thrown. thu. thi. thus. thi. thu. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. t t t toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. tode. toe. toe. toda. toda. toda. toda. toda. toda. toda winner of the 2020 election and he's already hit the ground running maybe a little too hard. This morning president-elect Biden on the men spending Sunday night at the doctor's office after twisting his ankle while playing with his dog major according to his transition team. Biden's doctor saying the president-elect following a CT scan sustained hairline fractures in his right foot and will likely require a walking boot for several weeks. Wow, Biden broke his foot playing with his dog?

That is such a strange accident, or was it? Someone check who that dog voted for. And why does Biden need a walking boot? He shouldn't be walking? He should be riding a golf cart everywhere. It's a walking. It's a walking. It's a walking. It's a the. It's, it. It's, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, the the walking, the walking, the walking, the walking, the walking, the walking, the walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a walking, a And why does Biden need a walking boot? He shouldn't be walking. He should be riding a golf cart everywhere. It's called being presidential. Also, I know this is a hard one to figure out, but the president-elect, getting hurt by a dog, really puts the secret service in a difficult position. Because how do they handle this?

Done on the ground! Hennens in the air! Roll over! Oh my God, he's so cute. Look at him, look at him, look at him, guys. He wants a belly-rob. Oh, oh, oh. I can't stay mad at that face.

All right, but dogs are not, Joe Biden's got to look like the vase your dad tried to fix. But once again, I am just relieved that America doesn't choose its leaders the same way Wakanda does, because right now, that dog would officially be the new president of the United States. Is this your king? Moving on to the coronavirus pandemic, it's the reason your aunt finally stopped kissing you on the mouth. Dr. Fauci and other experts are warning that the United States is about to enter a wave within a wave, as the already skyrocketing number of cases gets a post-thanksgiving surge. It's the only Thanksgiving left over you don't look forward to, well, after Brussels

sprouts. And let's be honest, guys, another surge is exactly what America doesn't need right now. Cases and hospitalizations are already breaking new records, and I know nobody wants to give up Christmas. But guys, maybe there are some traditions that we can do without. You will not see a lot of red noses in the city this year. That's because Santa Con, that pub crawl has been canceled. The flash mob meets pub-crawl event, brazes money for charity, pub crawl, has been canceled. The Flash Mob meets, pub crawl event raises money for charity, but they've been criticized because of some participants booze-fueled antics. An announcement of the Santa Con website says, quote,

remain home and stay on the good list. We're all in this together. What? Santa Con is canceled? No! Now, how will children ever get to see Santa Claus pass that on the sidewalk without pants? Those poor kids are losing out on a tradition. Can I be honest? I never thought Santa Con would get canceled before Santa. Yeah, because I thought for sure that Santa would have been canceled by now. I mean, let's face it. The dude is problematic as hell.

He sneaks into everyone's homes. He goes to malls to have kids sit on his lap. And he's kissed all of our moms? Yo, how is this dude still around? But if you ask me, they don't need to cancel Santa Con. Just make it virtual like everything this year. You know, do the whole thing over zoom. And then instead of throwing up on the sidewalk, you throw up on your keyboard. It's not perfect, but it's the next best thing. Now, some people are happy that Santa Con is canceled,

because they say that those santas just get drunk and act obnoxious in the streets. But I don't know about that, guys. I mean, every year want for Christmas. A brand new sled and a piece of that ass. Oh, oh, oh, that's right. Give it to me, James. Ah, yeah, maybe that should stay canceled. All right, we're going to take a quick break. But when we come back, we'll look at how President Trump is conceding the election without conceding the election. And Steph Curry Steph S S us on the show.

Listen on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. 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 on Apple podcasts starting September 17. Welcome back to the daily social distancing show. Although Donald Jingle Bells Trump has finally given his government permission to begin preparing for a Biden presidency, he's also made it clear

that he is not yet conceding because he still got a shot people and don't tell me that the numbers are impossible, all right? This is the season of miracles. I mean if Santa Claus can visit two billion houses in one night, Pennsylvania can find a hundred thousand more Trump votes. Come on! Unfortunately though, Trump's th thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu-a thu-a thu-a thu-in-in' thu-in' thu-a thu-a thu-a thu-a thu-a thu-a thu-a thu-a thu-in-in-in-in-in thu-in thu-in thu-in thu-in' thu-a thu-a thu, thu-a thu-s thu-s thu-s thi thi thi thi thu-s thin th-s th-s teeeanananananananan-s'-s'-s'-s'-s'-s'-s'-s'-s'-eee-n-e-s hundred thousand more Trump votes. Come on! Unfortunately, though, Trump's latest efforts to convince people that he actually won the election have been going about as well as all his previous efforts. The latest reality check, Wisconsin.

The Trump campaign spent $3 million on a recount there, only to come up short. Their demand for a doover leaving Biden with 87 more votes than the first time around. President Trump says there is no amount of evidence that will sway his opinion that he won the election. If you watched the election, I was called by the biggest people, saying congratulations, sir, you just won the election.

It was 10 o'clock, and you looked at the numbers this election was over, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and thi thi, and thi, thi, thi, thi, thum, thum, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, their, their, their, their, their, 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the thi, the the thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiwoo theananananananananananananannewo., thean, thi, thi, th over and then they did dumps. They call them dumps, big massive dumps. Oh man, sometimes I feel bad for Donald Trump because the more serious he wants people to take him, the more hilarious he sounds. Something stinks about these massive dumps, Maria. They're gonna leave such a huge stain on American democracy. Why is everyone laughing at my massive dumps? And this latest news is especially embarrassing. Because he paid Wisconsin to do a recount and

the recount gave Biden 87 more votes. I almost want Trump to pay for a third count just so that they can be like, oh yeah and you have a small dick too, Mr. President. You know what Biden should do is he should get Trump to double check everything in his life now. You know, Biden will be like, wow, I've been exercising and I lost five pounds and then Trump will go, no way, let me check the scale. It's actually 10 pounds. But look, part of Donald Trump understands that he's not going to be president after January 20th. Because ever since election day, he and his administration have been working overtime to rush through policies and regulatory changes as fast as they can.

So let's take a look at some of those new things that Trump is trying to squeeze in on his way out. In another episode of Donald Trump, go big and go home. Throughout his presidency, one of Trump's signature issues has been cracking down on immigration. Whether it's building a wall, ending Dhaka, throwing out Jared's Shakira CDs, or renaming San Antonio, St. Tony. And now, Trump is spending his last weeks, making it much harder for legal immigrants to become citizens. Behind the scenes beneath the surface, this administration is rushing to complete a series of tasks as the president's term winds down, cementing a number of immigration actions, like making the citizenship test harder for people who are trying to become American citizens.

Immigrants hoping to become U.S. citizens will have to answer more questions about American history and politics. Immigration Services says it's expanding the naturalization civics test, adding more questions and topics. Starting December 1st, applicants will have to answer 10 more oral questions, a total of 20. The civics test is one of the final steps to becoming a U.S. citizen. Okay, okay, hold on, guys. This isn't fair. How's Trump going to create a citizenship test that even he himself couldn't pass? He may as well make immigrants do a pull-up. But if Trump is going to expand the civics test,

I think it's only fair to let applicants answer the questions the question. To become a citizen, thx, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, the, the, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, tha, tha, tha, te, te, togu. te, togu. togu. togu.a, togu.a, togu.a, togu.a, togu.a.a.a, togu.a, te, te, te, you need to answer this question. What did the Stamp Act of 1765 Institute? Yo, that's a good question, man, because nobody knows the stamp act better than me. So many stamps. Some say the greatest stamp act there ever was, if you think about it, but we're looking very strongly into it,

and I'll have more to tell you in two weeks, I say. Uh, I guess you're in? What's worse is that it's going to be even harder to study for this test now that so many Confederate statues have been taken down. Oh, what have we done? There's no other way to study US history. I do have one question, though. Are we sure that making the citizenship test harder was Trump's idea? Because I don't know. Maybe it was Melanias.

I'm sorry, Donald. They say I have to go back to my country because I don't know enough to be US citizen. I don't understand, Melania. You answered all the questions. Ah, they just added new questions so much harder. And if you think Trump is being hard on immigrants, just wait until you see what the the the the the, the, the, the, thiiiii, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tionionionionn't tape, thi, thae, thae, thae, thae, thae, thae, thae, thae, thae, thae, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t. t. t. t. t. ta, ta, ta, ta, ta. ta. ta. tauuuauauaua.a.a. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta, ta, tbye. And if you think Trump is being hard on immigrants, just wait until you see what he's trying to do to prisoners. And federal execution policy also seeing some significant last minute changes here, the Justice

Department creating new regulations allowing for the use of more methods for federal executions including firing squad and electrocution. That's right, people. Trump is expanding the ways the federal government can execute someone. You know, there's old ones coming back like like like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the the the the the the the the their theiring, theiring, theiring, theiring, their their, and the ways the federal government can execute someone. You know, there's old ones coming back, like the firing squad and the electric chair, and the new ones, like getting in the ring with Jake Paul. And look, I don't know about you guys, but honestly, I would prefer being executed by firing squad than a lethal injection. I mean, first of all, there's always the chance that I'll get saved by Zorro. And second, a firing squad requires a lot more people. So I'm creating jobs for the economy.

Also, if you are gonna have executions, a firing squad is just a lot more bad-ass. You know, you get to wear blindfold, you get that cigarette. Come on guys, do your worst. Whereas with lethal injection, it's like, oh, man, I've got to go to go go go go go go go go go go go go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the to 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tho., thexxxx., thea., thea., thea., thea., thea., toxxxx. toxx. toxxxxxx. the way, one thing I've never understood about firing squads is, why do you need a whole squad? Like, how bad is their aim that they need eight people to shoot at you? This is America. One person can kill 30 people in a minute with a gun. You don't need eight people to kill one person.

Now, what's really interesting is that Donald Trump isn't the only one who's trying to go big before he goes home.. of his international allies know that when Joe Biden steps into the White House, they won't have as much leeway to do whatever they want, which is probably why Israel decided that now is as good a time as any to take their shots. This morning, mystery surrounding the assassination of Iran's top nuclear scientist. An Iranian official now saying Israel used electronic devices to kill Mosin Fakrizarz. the White the White the White the White the White the White the White the White the White the White the White the assassination of Iran's top nuclear scientist. An Iranian official now saying Israel used electronic devices to kill Mosin Fakrizade remotely. Reportedly been traveling with his wife and this bulletproof car you see when he heard gunfire and got out of the car to check out what happened and

that's when reports say that a machine gun apparently operated by remote control attached to a Nissan pickup truck gunned him down. That Nissan apparently then exploding in what Iranian media claims was a self-destruct function. God damn! Remote control machine guns? Self-destruct buttons? We thought the new James Bond movie was delayed. It turns out that shit was playing out in real life. It almost feels like Israel is getting its assassination ideas from video games. Soon Iran scientists are going to start getting killed by Kirby. They even had that Nissan self-destruct.

Which by the way is a terrible ad for Nissan. We need a car to use once, then blow up. So we'll take the Nissan. Although if I'm perfectly honest, I don't know if I believe I believe I believe I believe I believe I believe I believe I believe I believe I believe I believe I believe I believe I believe the the the the the the the the the the the the to believe the to believe the the to believe to believe the the to to to to to to take the Nissan. Although, if I'm perfectly honest, I don't know if I believe every part of the story right now. Because like, I struggle to understand the concept of a nuclear scientist getting out of a bulletproof car to check out where the bullets were coming from. Why would he do that? He's a nuclear scientist.

Like some guy who eats paint for a living. Also, I think there's a broader take to the the the their their their their their their learn here, which is that you only want to be your country's second most important nuclear scientist. So remember, kids, study hard, but not too hard. Now it turns out that this assassination may have been illegal, but it was also a very slick move diplomatically because Israel knows that Joe Biden wants to bring Iran back into the world, but killing their top scientists is going to make that a lot harder. Because now Iran is going to want revenge, right? And then Joe Biden's trying to make peace.

He's going to come out like, oh, come on, guys, come on, let's all just get along. Come on, Iran, what do you say? We deserve revenge, Joe Biden? Wouldn't you want to revenge, to to to to their their tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, to tho, to to to to to tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, to to tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi. thi. thi. thr. thr. thr. thr. to to to to to to to too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. the. tho, the who did this to you is a dog! Yeah, he's my best friend! You are a very strange man. Now, even though the United Nations is begging every country to just pump the brakes, I don't think this kind of thing is going to stop with Israel. I think in the next two months, you're going to see all of Trump's friends trying to cram in as much as they can before he leaves of Vladimir Putin might just invade all of Ukraine. Saudi Arabia could execute everyone else at the Washington Post.

And Kim Jong-un, he's going to be the worst. He's going to take advantage of everyone being distracted and finally get those bangs that he's always wanted. All right, when we come back, Dulce tells you how climate change could impact your wallet, besides it being underwater. And Steph Curry is joining us on the show, so don't go away.

So everyone knows that climate change could wreck the planet and destroy all life on earth. But even worse, it could cost you some money. Dose Sloan looks into it in another episode of Count on it. Good news, everyone. The election felt like it was the end of the world, but it wasn't. Bad news, the actual end of the world is coming up.

The life-threatening and devastating flooding emergency. A crippling drought. Some people driving through flames to escape. Climate change is getting worse. And even though the election was a small victory for the planet, Biden is still going to need to deal with Republicans who don't think fixing it is worth the price tag. The Paris Accord, I took us out because we were going to have to spend trillions of dollars. The American economy, it will die if we get rid of oil and gas. Where are they going to get all the money from? Um, one of the people supporting this says we can just print money, Congressman. I'm not taking economic advice from someone who looks like he spends most of his money on eight balls. But I'll admit, after the way 2020 is gone I myself have wondered if the world is

even worth saving. So I want to know what costs more. Doing something like the Paris Agreement or a green new deal or this kind of plan which is wait for it nothing. Nada. Luckily we found an expert in doing nothing, Professor Marshall Burke. In a sense we study the cost of doing nothing, although doing nothing here really means doing a lot. I do nothing all the time and it doesn't cost me a penny. So we have studied this. The Paris Climate Agreement said we want to limit warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. But let's say we do nothing at all. The best estimates suggest we're going to get about 3 degrees Celsius, 5 or 6 degrees Fahrenheit of warming over the next century. Hotter temperatures reduce

agricultural productivity. Hotter temperatures make us less productive at work and this could cost us tens of trillions of dollars in terms of lost economic output. If I hear trillions of dollars in terms of lost economic output. If I hear trillions of dollars, I'm thinking of monopoly money and unicorn tears. So what will doing nothing cost the average person? You're right, trillion is hard to understand. So a hundred billion is a Jeff Bezos. So a trillion is like ten Jeff Bezos. Should we just kidnap Jeff Bezos and make him pay for it?

I don't know if our research speaks to a kidnapping approach. What Marshall's research does speak to is that if we don't meet the 1.5 degree goal set by the Paris Accord, it could cost $6 trillion in the US alone. And Miami will be underwater, and not in a fun way. If we go past that, the world's GDP drops by 20%. And the pirates of the Caribbean ride will have direct access to the Caribbean. On the other hand, what if we actually did something and pass some of the ambitious proposals laid out in the Green New Deal?

People talk about like the Green New Deal, like AOC is going to personally come in your house and instill your Christmas presents and then replace it with a lump of coal and then come back and replace the lump of coal with a solar panel. A lot of the hand wringing about the Green New Deal has focused on its potential costs. Imagine you have a loved one who's been diagnosed with a serious illness. So do we say, oh, it's going to cost $10,000 to fix grandpa, like let's not bother, $10,000, wow. No, we think about the benefits of that too. We like having grandpa around.

So we need to think of the earth as a grandpa we like, is what you're saying. Yeah, the metaphor works when you like your grandpa. And we find that that that that that that that the cost the cost the cost the cost the cost tha the cost the cost thii thi thi the cost thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thoomo, 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, thin, thooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, too, too,. Yeah, the metaphor works when you like your grandpa. And we find that the cost of inaction are actually a lot larger than doing something about the problem. I knew it. I knew it. I knew it. But what do you do if you're lazy, deadbeat, ain't shit government, refuses to see the logic in these numbers?

You take their assets to court, even on the local level. And I talked to one hardened veteran of the US judicial system who is doing just that. I'm actually suing the state of Florida. All we want for them is to cut our carbon emissions. How old are you? I am 21 years old. Is it the Doogie-Houser situation? I know you don't get that reference because you're 21. No, not quite.

Okay, how much you sue them for? Absolutely nothing. You're suing them for nothing? What, do you play Lado for the thrill of the game? Do you go to Vegas just for the weather? So it's kind of like we're suing on behalf of the environment. Could I recommend one thing? Sue to get enough money to buy a the the to buy the to get enough money to buy a submarine. We want them to spend the money on the environment.

So we know that it's going to cost us as a society trillions of dollars. But if we continue to wait, it's only going to be more expensive in the future to pay for those solutions that we need. For example, the property value of the land that's at risk from five feet of sea level rise is about 27 billion dollars. And for those following along, that's a quarter Jeff Bezos. Don't get your hopes up, you know, because there's a chance that Florida isn't going to change. Florida's still going to be on your couch, eating on your food while you're at work, asking to borrow your car.

Why do you need a car, Florida? You don't have a job. Yeah, so to be candid, if there's no change, if we don't have to do with Florida anymore, if we don't do anything to solve our climate change, thrown fa. Florida is extinct, then we wouldn't have to deal with Florida anymore. But then again, Florida's part of Earth. And even though it's been hard on us this year, we should still do something to save

instead of nothing, because I still love Earth. Some people I like live here, even some people that I love. And I wouldn't trade them for all the Bezos in the world. Thank you so much for that, Doseoseoseoseoseose. Dulse. Dulse. Dulse. Duelseuu se se se th. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thi. thi. th. thi. 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. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. tho. tho. to to to to to to to to to to to thooooooooooooooo. th. th. th. th. th. th. I wouldn't trade them for all the Bezoses in the world. Thank you so much for that Dulce. All right, stick around because when we come back, Steph Curry will be joining us right here. Don't go away. It's been said that nice guys finish last. But is that really true? I'm Tim Harford, host of the Cautionary Tales podcast, and I'm exploring that very question.

Join me for my new miniseries on the Art of Fairness. We'll travel from New York to Tahiti to India on a quest to learn how to succeed without being a jerk. We'll examine stories of villains undone by their villainy and monstrous self-devaring egos and will delve into the extraordinary power of decency. We'll face mutiny on the vast Pacific Ocean, blaze a trail with a pioneering skyscraper and dare to confront a formidable empire. The art of fairness on cautionary tales. Listen on the I-Heart radio app, Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

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 on Apple podcasts starting September 17.

Welcome back to the Daily Social Distancing Show. Earlier today, I spoke with NBA Superstar, Steph Curry. We talked about the upcoming NBA season, his new partnership with Under Armour, and that infamous tweets. Steph Curry, welcome back to the Daily Social Distancing Show. I appreciate you having me, man. Always a good time talking to you. Yeah, man, I would appreciate you telling you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you tell tell to to to to to to to to to to the to to to to 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 to to to to to to to to to to to to to toe toe toe toe toe toe toe toe toe the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their the the thea.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.time talking to you. Yeah, man.

I would appreciate you telling me about your wardrobe choices before you come on the show. I don't like the fact that now we both wearing the same hoodie. Like, one of us has to change, man. I feel like, as we all know, as we all know, the hair is the only thing that's going to differentiate us right now. So at least we got it. I do my cornrows on the weekend. I'm a weekend cornrose guy and then like afro during the week. So like that. I take most of my meetings on the weekends and I'm back in the gym on the weekday so I'm dude. Good to have you back. We got a lot to talk about today. Before we get into the business, before we get into the big announcement that Steph Curry's

making, before we get into all the major moves that you're making, we've got to talk about that tweak. Uh-huh. This weekend, we saw some of the craziest boxing fights that anyone has that, th fighting against Roy Jones Jr. That was just like history and then Nate Robinson fighting against Jake Paul from YouTube also history. Now Nick Robinson is a former teammate of yours. Yes he is. And he he tweeted out he's like I'm fighting for my family I'm fighting for the NBA I'm fighting for all of us and you were like yo go get them Nate and and then he said I'm gonna shock the world and then after his knock out the the he he he he he he he hehe he.. he. the to. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tm. tm. tm. tm. tm. tm. tm. tm. th. tm. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to to to to to to th. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He. He. He. He. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. t t t t t t t t t t ttttttttttt. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. He's. He's. He's. He's. And then after his knockout, you responded to that tweet and you're like, yeah, I see no lies, man.

Yeah. So I know one thing about Nate is one, he can dish out the trash talk and he can take it. And I know based on how the whole match went, or the whole event went, it wasn't supposed to be that entertaining entertaining entertaining entertaining entertaining entertaining for Nate, he is the most resilient dude in the world. So if there's one person that I know that's going to find like, you know, that comeback type of situation, I don't know if you're going to be back in the ring, but whatever he's

going to be amazing, we can always know Nate's going to be in good shape. Do you think like the NBA took this personally? Because I felt like it was like YouTube versus the NBA and I was shocked that the NBA got knocked out by YouTube. I'm not going to lie, Steph. That's the best part of just sports. There's always a narrative that kind of materializes. So definitely, this is why I tweeted at Nate right before, like I was hype, I was ready for him to go in there

and do his thing. When you cross over sports, I think we all have this irrational confidence. And I love that about just athletes in general. I do the same thing in golf. I was over there embarrassing myself in front of Phil Milkinson for four hours on national TV. You know, so I kind of know the, you know, that experience, but for him, we definitely, you know, took it serious or took it personal in terms of that YouTube versus NBA type of situation. We might have to go like tip for tat on, you know, top NBA fighters, if you will, we can throw our list out, don't worry about that. So I'm not on there, don't worry about that either.

You, you put yourself down, but Steph, you are really good at golf. I've met golfers who've been like, Steph Curry is legit when it comes to playing golf. You played a tournament for charity. It was yourself, it was Phil to him, but you lost. What would you think is a worst defeat? You losing to Charles Barkley or Nate Robinson getting knocked out by Jake Paul? Which one is worse?

Well, you, for me, this guy, I mean, he got, I'm not, I didn't get physically harmed. Like, we know, putting ourselves out there. Losing the Chuck and anything as much trash as he's talked about me and our team and all that, that made it, oh, that hurt, that hurt. So I'm gonna have to find him on a course somewhere after the season and redeem myself. Let's talk a little bit about the season before we get into the new brand and what you got coming up. The NBA was the most successful franchise in launching a bubble format to play sports in a system where people weren't getting sick. You know, they did the best they could.

But the season has just been weird. We've got another season coming up now. And on top of like corona and everything that's going on, like everything at Golden State has just been, I mean, it's been a tumultuous timeime, t, t, of arguably the most dominant team over the past decade, you know, going to five finals, like coming away with three rings, like, just like, I mean, there was a point, I remember when people started writing article stuff where they were like, we need to, we need to change, we need the scoring of a three pointer because these guys have like, thaken..... These th. These th. These th. These these th. These th. These th. These th. These th. These th. These th. These th. These guys have th. These guys have th. These guys have th. These guys have th. These guys th. These guys have th. These guys th. These guys have they, they, th. These th. These 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, 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, their, the game. That's how dominant you guys were. And now it's just been injuries. No, you got injured. Clay got injured. He's injured again. Durant got injured. Like, what is the feeling in the team right now and what do you think you guys need to do to get ready for the next season with how many challenges you now face? It's weird because all the

things you just said, like I got overwhelmed just hearing you talk about it. And now I'm like, we're about to start a training camp and, you know, this week and gearing up for the 22nd to start our season. So there's a lot of unknowns. There's a lot of anxiety around, I got my kids running around here. There's a lot of the tea tea. their thanuste, they, theyrowns, to to to to too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, to, and, and, to, and, and, and, to, and, to, to, to, and, and, too, to, to, to, and, and, to, and, to, and, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, too, to, too, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, too, too, too, the, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, thethere's a lot of amazing teams out there that have taken strides as contenders and you see what LA has done as champions. So we know the work is cut out for us, but our culture remains the same.

You know, me and Dramond as the elder statesman will call it. You know, we've been around and we know what it takes to win championships so we're excited for the challenge and like all the noise around us in terms of you know the different cast of characters and the new guys like we're gonna take that and run with it and and do what we're gonna do this year so it's gonna be exciting man I just want to play a competitive basketball game it's been it's been too long sitting the the th I th I th I th I I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I thus I thus I'm thi thi thi thi the thi the the the. thi thi the thi. 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 the the the the the th is is is is the the th is is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi toooooooo' ty. ty. the today the the the the the the the th and I'm excited about that. One of the biggest reasons you here today man we're gonna talk about the Curry brand. This is a major moment for you and a major moment for any athlete where a major brand like you've worked with under armor for a long time but we all know in sports and in any apparel line it is huge when a, you know what, your name is so big and so powerful

that your name is gonna sort of stand alone within this brand. We saw it with Jordan. Steph Curry has now gone to the next level. Talk us through the Curry brand. Because what I really like about this is, it's not just about you having your own line. You have an interesting idea of what you want the curry brand to stand for? No doubt. I mean you hit on a lot of points and I is one surreal to know that this is actually happening and it's been you know conversation and strategizing over two years now with you know my team with Under Armour in terms of like you said

I've been with them since 2013 we've done amazing things in the signature business and built a substantial business that has not had a lot of options downs but it's been an amazing learning process and we've grown a lot. And so taking the foundation of what that is and a relationship that we've had and being able to launch curry brand where you know you have an opportunity to have purpose and a part of the bottom line of what we do and everything that you participate in with the brand, product, apparel, whatever it is, all the different campaigns that we're going to run, there's a message in a meeting behind it. And that is to ensure that our next generation has equal and equitable access to sports across the country. We're starting here in my home, you know,

my backyard in the Bay Area. But there's the there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's their there's their their their their their their their. We're starting here in my home, you know, my backyard in the Bay Area, but there's some crazy numbers about participation in youth sports, how it's declining year after year and obviously the impact that COVID has had. We know our role. And we're going to play our role to the best of our ability and use again the platform that I have the story that I have been able to be a part of and and, the the the the the the the the the to to to the the the the th, the the the th the th 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 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 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 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 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 the the the the have, the story that I've been able to be a part of and even looking ahead into the future that you know when it comes to doing amazing things and putting out dope stories and dope product that you're changing people's lives over the course of this journey and that's something for us that is exciting and hopefully can be something unique that you haven't seen before. Well I think there are a lot of parts of it that are unique, you know, it's not the th. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, their, their, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're th, you're thi, you're thi, you're th, you're th, you th, you th, you th, you th, you th, you're th, you're th, you're th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thin, thrown, thrown, thrown, thin, thin, thin, thin, thi, thin, thi. thi. thi, th are unique, you know. It's not just the partnership, but it's what you're trying to do. One of my favorite parts of the partnership is how you guys are going to be setting out to create safe places where kids can play sports. And a lot of people take that for granted. Like, you know, if you grew up and you You know, and you just, you know, like they're like my grandmother used to say, idle hands of the devil's playground, you know, and sports has been shown time again.

It teaches you responsibility, it just gets your mind going. It's great for mental health. It gets the kids out of the streets. It is a wonderful way to build camaraderie and just self-esteem. So you're going to be doing to be doing to be picking the cities and where do you hope to see the program expanding? No doubt. And the biggest part is we're not reinventing the wheel with this, we're just being able to draw attention, awareness, resources, and support to not only certain communities that need to your point and safe spaces to play, but coaches and leaders in these communities, being able to train them and the ways to reach the next generation,

be able to create that connection. But also programming, we know to your point when you talk about what sports teaches us and just being able to participate. Not every kid's gonna be a pro athlete and whatever sport they decide, but sports gives you that perseverance, that discipline, that determination that you carry

into whatever career path you choose and whatever opportunity is in front of you. So the one thing that I looked at in my journey is I never had to worry about, you know, I want to go play basketball, oh, where do I go? Where is there a place that I can go hoop and work on my game in that kind of scenario? A lot of kids don't have an answer to that question that question that question that question that question. tho thi thi thi th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to be thi. thi. thi. to be to be to be to be to be th. thi. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I. I. I I. I. I. I. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to to tee. tea. tea. th. th. th. thi. the the the thi. the game in that kind of scenario. A lot of kids don't have an answer to that question, and we want to be that answer. And we talk about where we decide to go, that's listening to community.

That's how we started here at Manzanita Park right in downtown Oakland. The community had been petitioning and campaigning trying to get, you know, that community center refurbished for years and years. and we and we and we and we and we and we and we and we and we th and we th and we th and we th and we th and we th and we th and we th and we th and we th and we the the the the the the to to to to to to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the an the an the an the an the an the an the an thean igning trying to get, you know, that community center refurbished for years and years and we heard their call and got it done. So that's going to be the gas and the tank as we launch this brand and live out our purpose and mission. We've got to talk about it now so people know what we're talking about but you'll be able to execute that out and live it out with everything that we do. That's the challenge. Well, you're doing it, man. It's a challenge, but you're doing it every single day. Feeding over a million kids in Oakland, you know, getting back to the court in one of the most challenging seasons the NBA is going to see. And of course, having your voice, Stavio thi thii. th. th. th. thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thi. thi. thi's thi's thia' tha' thi's thi. thia' thi's thooomk. thoomk. thoomk. thoomk. thoomuuan thoom. thoing it thoing it thoing it thuuu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. than. to than. toeea. toea. toea. toea. toea. toea. toea. toea. toea. toea. ta. toda. toda. toda. toda. toda. toda. toda., just send me to color a sweatshirt and we'll match it up.
