You're listening to Comedy Central. Twitter has a new feature now where they're gonna let people fact check other people's tweets, which is yes, another world that's about a start. I don't know why they're gonna do that, but apparently they're gonna let you like go like, no, this is not true. Actually read this article, here's the research, here's the thing. You know. I think that's a terrible feature for Twitter. I think that's a great feature for real life. I think in real life it would be great if we could like fact check strangers. That will be soon. You know how many times I'm in a restaurant and then I hear someone at the other table say some ship that's not true, and they're like, yeah, you know, actually careful. I don't want to just leave it and be like, hey, actually, Kevin keV wasn't it hasn't been taken over yet. Yeah. And by the way, it's not pronounced bullabesi. It's weir base all right, have a good night. By the way, he's been here three times this week and he's told women the same story. Coming to you from the heart of times in New York City, the only city in America it's The Daily Sure, here's edition tonight, Who's Leaving Ukraine? The History of Over the Shoulder, Boulder Holders and Serena Williams is the Daily Show with Hey, what's going on? Everybody? Welcome to the Daily Show. I'm Trevor Noah. It is now day eight of Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine and things are escalating quickly, So let's catch up on all the latest developments in our ongoing segment war in Ukraine. Let's start off with the battlefield as of now, that forty mile long convoy of Russian tanks and trucks, it's just sitting outside Kiev, that's all it's doing. It's just sitting there and nobody knows why. Right, Maybe they're waiting for the right moment to strike, or maybe someone double popped their car in front and they have to wait for the driver to come and back it out and move it. Nobody knows. While that convoy has stalled, Russia has been ramping up its bombing of civilian areas and they've captured at least one major city in South Ukraine. But despite seeing their country decimated by the Russian military, the Ukrainian people have still shown some remarkable compassion, and believe it or not, they've shown it to the Russian soldiers themselves. Among all the chaos and Ukraine humanity still prevails. This video going viral this morning, appearing to show Ukrainians helping a captured Russian soldier, giving him tea and food and allowing him to call his mother to tell her that he's okay. You see him right there in the hat. The soldier is seen fighting back tears, apparently telling his mom he didn't want to be there. Ukrainians on social media are telling Russian soldiers if they surrender, people will feed them and take care of them. Wow. Look, man, I don't know all of them, but right now Ukrainians seemed like some of the best people in the world. They're standing up to one of the biggest militaries on the planet, and on top of that, they've captured an invading soldier and they're giving him food and drink. You don't see humanity like that in war. In fact, you don't even see humanity like that on Twitter. Yeah, Like one time I said hot dogs weren't sandwiches and I still get death threats to this day. I mean, look at that soldier. Just look at it like they're giving him sustenance and letting him FaceTime his mom. Do you know, do you know what that means? Like you know, like you know you're being treated humanely when the worst part of being a prisoner of war is trying to get your mom off the phone. Yes, yes, I am seef Mom. No, no, I didn't hear about Linda's office yet. Listen, Mom might have to go. I'm still in the war zone. Yes, I know they were only together for eight months. It is surprising, mom. Yes, yes, I told you, mom, when I find someone, I will get me. Yes, Mom, I mean think about it. Just think about it for a second, free tea, free food, free WiFi. Uh yeah, Russian prisoners are getting better service than passengers and Spirit Airlines. Spirit Airlines, you wish you were a prisoner of war. Meanwhile, the rest of the world continues to rally behind the Ukrainian people. And it's not just big steps like more sanctions on Russian oligochs or the International Criminal Court investigating Russia war crimes. Note, lots of places and lots of people you might not have even heard of, by the way, or not even thought of, are turning to Russia and saying yet e A Sports is now removing Russian teams from some of its biggest sports games. They include NHL two, FIFA twenty two, FIFA Online, hand FIFA mobile. The Russian flag removed at Miami International Airport. Miami Dade County Mayor Daniella Levin Cava gave the order this morning and solidarity with Ukraine. The International Cat Federation has banned Russian cats from competition. Officials announced the rule against any cat belonging to Russian breeders or exhibitors, saying they could not quote witnessed these atrocities and do nothing. Wow, even the International Cat Federation, it's turning against Russia, which, by the way, I didn't even know existed. I don't know about you, but I did not know. And honestly, I'd be worried about pissing off the cat people. I mean they take that ship. Seriously, You think Putin is scary, imagine a Russian Carol Baskin. Hello, cool cats and kittens, and look, it is great. It is great that everyone is showing solidarity against Russia, but even cats are getting banned like it's wild cats. I mean, where does it go next. At this point, I wouldn't be shocked if Donald Trump comes out and he's like, from now on, I will only get paid on by Ukrainian women. We're all in this together. I'm doing my part, doing my part. And E Sports, Yeah, E Sports are taking Russian teams out of their video games, but Ukraine wants them to go even further. Right, they're calling on video game companies to boycott Russia entirely. No games, turn out a Fortnite, Wars on everything, turn it off, And if you ask me, that's the opposite of what they should be doing. Yeah, if you want to disrupt the Russian war effort, I'll turn off the games. You should send everyone in Russia a free copy of Elden Ring. We'll stop the war den in its tracks. Yeah, good luck invading when you're spending forty hours just to get past the first boss. Is he an old man? Is he a tree? How is he so hard to fight? So? Yes, video game companies, airports, the cat community, everyone is coming together to do their part to show Russia that what they're doing is not cool. And one of the many reasons that this is not cool, it's not just because Russia is bombing a peaceful country that did nothing to antagonize them. No, it's also because by doing this they've unleashed one of the worst humanitarian crises that Europe has ever seen. This Russian invasion is leading to another emergency unfolding at this hour, the humanitarian crisis just across Ukraine's borders. The United Nations Refugee Agency says at least one million Ukrainians have fled to neighboring countries, and then millions more could soon join. Tonight, the crush to flee Ukraine. We were in this tunnel at the train station in Lviv. Refugees packed so tightly they could only shuffle forward, parents clutching their children's hands. They've got to be a thousand people in this tunnel right now, all of them pushing their way towards the last track. Here a railway spokesperson saying every hour five to ten thousand more people arrive at the Laviv station in western Ukraine. Ukrainians are queuing for up to twenty hours trying to cross the border. Official'll say this humanitarian crisis is only going to get worse. This exodus we're seeing from Ukraine is the biggest number of people displaced in Europe in the shortest amount of time since World War Two. God damnit, Vladimir Putin. Just imagine, Just imagine one day you're living a normal, peaceful, modern life and the next day you're trekking to the Romanian border on foot. Just think about that for a second. Right we think the world has ended when our WiFi goes down. These people don't know if they'll ever get to go home. One of the major costs of war is how many people get displaced. They have their lives totally uprooted. Like we all think war is like call of duty. You know, you're running your shoot and then you reboot. But for most people it's more like Oregon trail, less exciting, much harder, and way more depressing. And I think we can all agree that it's a bad thing. Man. It is a bad thing when anything comes close to World War two levels, whether it's refugees fighting or waistlines, it's always bad. And this is what people forget about war, you know, because sometimes you hear about a war in a in another country, right you hear about one another country and you think, oh, well, that's sad, But it's over there, So why should I care? But you should care. You should care, you know why, because we all interconnected in the modern age, and that means the fallout of that war spreads all over, whether it's the refugee crisis, or the rising gas prices or the stock market, the ripple effects are everywhere. So in a way, Putin didn't just invade Ukraine. He's also invaded your gas tanks, right, he's invaded your grocery bill, he's invaded your social media feeds. Yeah, you just want to scroll and look at thoughts not Instead, it's thoughts and prayers. One glom of hope, one glomb of hopefull these refugees is that all of Ukraine's neighboring countries are welcoming them with open arms. Ukraine's neighbors welcoming the refugees with open arms, A warm drink and a hug in Moldova, in Slovakia, a chance to watch cartoons. Ukrainians welcomed by Hungarian officials and aid workers, each handed a solidarity ticket a free seat on another train to the Hungarian capital were more help weight. You've got one European country after another saying that they will fast track applications for asylum. The European Union is talking about giving them three years of temporary residency so they can work, they can access benefits. In Poland, they have opened their borders, opened their arms to as many Ukrainian refugees as will arrive. We keep our borders open. The nationals of old countries who suffered from Russian aggression or whose life is at risk can six in my country. Poland's Commissioner to the EU personally offered to host a family of refugees in his own home and warsaw, but the refugees had found an alternative place to stay. This is amazing people. All these countries in Europe have stepped up to take in all of these refugees. And what's also amazing is if I heard correctly, the Polish commissioners to the EU offered to host a family of refugees in his home, but they said, no, thanks, we found another place. I don't care what you say. That's got to hurt. Yeah, you think you're helping refugees and they're like, wow, so is is that your kitchen. That's only been eight days. My standards haven't dropped that much. But still seeing these refugees being greets with open arms and full hearts. It gives me, It gives me a glimb of hope in this world, you know, to see like people helping people in need. I mean. It is interesting though, that Eastern Europe has been so willing and able to accept a million people coming into their countries in just a few days, when just recently, just recently, didn't seem to have any space for a different group of refugees. The humanitarian crisis in Europe continues to grow and increasingly exposed fault lines, hundreds of thousands of refugees streaming in from Syria and elsewhere. But as the arguing continues, so does the suffering. As Europe struggles for a solution, refugees forced to zig zag from one country to another with no clear path. The EU has effectively paid Turkey to keep Syrians from getting to Greece. Woland it pledge to take in a number of the refugees, saying now that it is not going to do that, we will not be receiving migrants from the Middle East and North Africa in Poland. This is Hungary solution to the flood of refugees pouring in a thirteen foot fence topped with razor wire, running about a hundred fifteen miles along its border with Serbia. Police and ridegear told they can shoot rubber bullets at anyone who tries to cross hostility. Here in Hungary, video shocking the world. The Hungarian camera woman kicking that girl as she runs from police and this as a man runs by carrying a small child, she trips him and he falls to the ground. Hungry's Prime Minister, Victor Urban had a message for the migrants themselves. The moral human singer is to make clear, please don't come. That's really strange. When it's Syrians who are fleeing a war. It's all we do not have space, do not come. But now the space and people must come. What changed? I mean, when the Syrians needed refuge, even the camera crew was drop kicking families. Yeah, but now Ukrainians are getting accommodation, they're getting visas, they' getting work benefits, which by the way, is good, it is a good thing. But I'm just saying, where's their drop kick? And look, we don't even have to speculate, we don't have to speculate about why they're treating Ukrainians so differently than refugees from Africa or from the Middle East. It's because the Prime Minister of Belgaria, he came out and said it right, he said, these are not the refugees we are used to. These people are Europeans. These people are int legant, they are educated people. Yeah, sir, kind of a shocking thing to say. But at the same time, I will say I'm impressed that the Prime Minister of Bulgaria has found the time to get to know all one million refugees that have fled Ukraine in the past week. You must be very efficient and making small talk. So are you're from? What you do? What do you think? HI like you and please don't get me wrong. Don't get me wrong here. I understand the arguments, right, I understand the arguments that these countries will make. Right that they have to think about how easy it is for refugees to integrate into their culture and society. I get that. I truly get that. It's just like it's easier for you to take in a family member who's in trouble than a random person who needs help. You know, like lots of kids got in one little fight with a couple of guys who are up to no good. But there's reason Uncle Full and not Viv only took in. Will I get it, But it doesn't mean it's impossible. It doesn't mean it's impossible. And the problem I have is that when it's Syrians or Africans on a boat, these countries didn't even try to integrate them. They didn't even say women and children only know. They reject even the chance that anyone brown could assimilate. Your skin is too dark, you couldn't possibly be bushed. And I know right now, I know right now that somebody was like Trevor again with the racisim what is it with black people? I'm no racism always talking about it? You know, I go years at a time without even thinking about raciship. It's jeez, why don't you try? Well, maybe the reason black people always talking about racism is because racism is always happening to the black people, and we're seeing it again now in Ukraine. African and Indian students stuck in Ukraine are accusing officials of discriminating against them and pushing them back from getting to the border. This video posted to Twitter reads watch how they are threatening to shoot us, saying there after Ukraine Poland border, the police and army are refusing to let Africans cross, they only allow Ukrainians. Foreign students who faced segregation and racism at the border cross seeing to Poland. Some say they were told they can't board buses there because they were meant for Ukrainians only. Videos have been posted on social media said to show black people being prevented from boarding a train and left stranded at a railway station in Naviva as Ukrainians were allowed on. One Congo native saying he was discriminated against while trying to board a train out of Ukraine. David told us like, we are going to give you guns and you're gonna fight for Ukraine. Said, Hi, we're gonna fight for Ukraine. We are not Ukrainian, we are black, So ow can you fight? How can we fight for Ukraine? Yeah? Just think about this for a moment. Black people, students, tourists, visitors, many of them are saying they cannot get out of the country. They can't get out because they're black. They just get blocked at the border. And for this guy, I mean this is wild. Imagine being prevented from leaving the country. And not just that, but they say like no, not only can you not leave, you have to grab a gun. And that is insane. People from other countries haven't been told that they have to fight. Why does he huh? The British person gets to go the African guy, No, no, you're staying. We've watched Beasts of No Nation. We know you guys know how to handle yourselves. That's what you guys do. That's not fair. Man. When you go to another country, you don't expect that they might be conscripting you into a war. You don't think you're gonna be fighting in their army. Like I'll tell you now, the Louver would get a lot few visitors if they were like, oh, come and see them on Na Lisa, take a selfie with Venez. Maybe you fight for us in the well. Have you seen that? Bramans welcome. It's extremely weird. It's extremely weird. To awesome, random African guy to fight for Ukraine. Why is that expected of him? Why can't he join the fight the way white people from other countries do. By posting an instant story of the Ukrainian flag with a little heart emoji, I'm here for the Ukraine that's not the point. The bigger points is that there seems to be a widespread discrimination against people of color who are trying to flee a war zone. And it's nuts. It's really nuts to see border guards suddenly turn into club bounces. Everybody on the bus, every other but hold on, hold on, no hoodies, no sneakers. Yeah, oh yeah, and the hot the hot friend, yeah, she can come up. Not to mention, it's gonna be super confusing for the Russian army when they roll into Kiev and then there's only black people left. Comrades, I think we two go long turn somewhere. I told you don't use upple maps, use ways and look. I know because of these stories, there are many Africans and many Middle Easterners who are seeing these videos and they're like, you know what, screw Ukraine. If they're going to be racist, Putin can take Ukraine and he can have Poland for desserts. For real. That's what a lot of people are saying. You can see it online. People are angry because they're like, how can you let racism get in the way of getting people out of the way of war. But I think rather than this being a moment to turn on each other. This refugee crisis should be a reminder that refugee is not a synonym for brown person. Anyone could become a refugee. It's a thing that happens to you. It's not who you are and who knows you know, maybe one day you might be a refugee. I hope it doesn't happen to you, but it could. And if God forbid that day comes. Wouldn't you want someone without any prejudice in their heart to open their doors to you, to welcome you into their home so that you can look around their house and say thanks, I think I can do better? All right. When we come back, Dasie Lyde will take a look at the history of bras and the one and only Serena Williams is joining us on the show. You don't want to miss it. Welcome back to the Daily Show. As you know, as you should know, March is Women's History Month, and to celebrate we turned to Dasilideck, where she doesn't explore history, but his hurry. Bras also known as braziers or more formally, over the shoulder boulder holders. The histories of women and their bras have been pushed together and held there for as long as we can remember. And you can always tell a lot about what's going on with women in society by how their breasts are being stored. From the ancient Romans wearing bando style sports bras for athletic competitions to the women of the early Afts who shot whipped cream out of their bras is a way to destigmatize public breast beating. I was nursing, I could never quite get my milk to come out that frothy. One of the earliest versions of the bra was in the Middle Ages, when women could wear two fabric bags over their breasts inside their clothing. These ladies didn't have time for cute underwear. It was the thirteen hundreds. They were more concerned with finding new recipes for gruel and not dying from a paper cut. For a while, during the French Revolution and Victorian eras, bras took a back seat two corsets, which ever so gently molded a woman's body into that super desirable hour glass figure, because nothing is sexier than a woman who might be filled with sand. Luckily, by the end of the nineteenth century, a frenchwoman named aremony. Caddal had designed the first modern brawl by cutting a corset in two and sewing it into something that was then considered lingerie and would now be considered school clothes on euphoria. It gave women more freedom than the traditional corset, but was still impossible to take your bra through your shirt in the locker room at Planet Fitness. Be right there, don't start zooma without me, thankfully. In nineteen fourteen, and nineteen year old named Caress Crosby and bent at a bra that ditched the corset altogether. Crosby wanted a broad away to her debutant ball that was actually comfortable, so she made one herself out of two handkerchiefs tied together with a ribbon. It turned out to be a huge hit at the ball, probably because in a corset bral, the only dance women could do was the robot, and no one likes the person at the party doing the robot it, especially before robots were invented. She's possessed fetch father Okay With her new bra, Caress Crosbie and women everywhere were liberated, except for the fact that they were still women in nineteen fourteen, but aside from that liberated. Crosbie's braw was a hit, but it continued to evolve, and by the nineteen fifties, new styles led to an all out buber party. Bras became an intrinsic part of fashion, with underwires and padding allowing women to emulate the stars of the era like Marilyn Monroe and Jane Mansfield, and ample bosom was as synonymous with nineteen fifties womanhood is not having a bank account or getting excited when you get a vacuum for your anniversary. And it wasn't just about the curves thanks to torpedo bras, it was also about the tweetiness, which may look a little odd now, but at the time it was the Cold War, so it made sense to have extra missiles on hand in case Russian invaded. But while bras were supporting women, not all women were supporting bras. In fact, by the late nineteen sixties, going brawles became a fashion statement. Boobs were free to hang and move around and swing as much as all the couples at the party. It was a great time for boobs, except for all the polyester they were rubbing against for the first time, but contrary to popular belief, burning bras was never actually a thing. What did happen is that in nineteen sixty eight, demonstrators were protesting the Miss America pageant for being sexist, racist, and forcing women to solve world peace in ten seconds at least five minutes to do that. So protesters tossed symbols of their oppression into what they referred to as the freedom trash can, which also happens to be what I call the dumpster outside Whole Foods. And those symbols of oppression included bras, but they never actually set them on fire. That's just a myth, like my old menstrual cramps or the male orgasm. I'll believe it when I see it. But by that point, braus were so ingrained in society that many people struggled with the idea that they can be optional. The idea took hold that not wearing a bra was somehow inappropriate or unprofessional, like in nineteen ninety when a woman in Arkansas was found in contempt of court when the judge said her breasts were obviously showing through her shirt. Objection, your honor, my right to a fair trial is up here, and only a few years ago, a Florida high school student was forced to put band aids over her nipples at school. That's a trip to the school nurse that will also send you to the school psychiatrist. I'm just kidding. American schools can't afford those, but for those who want to wear them, it's a great time for bras Right now, brad designers are no longer telling women what they should be wearing. Instead, they're listening to what women want to wear. There are so many comfortable options now, from at leisure to sports bras. Women can live a life where they aren't being squeeze like an empty tube of toothpaste. And there's no telling what the future of bras will be like. Maybe twenty years from now, all bras will be n f T s. Who knows, not me. I literally don't know what that means. But whatever form Bro's take, there's one thing that you can always count on. They will lose their shape in the dryer, but only if you wash them in the first place. Thank you so much, Daisy. All right, when we come back, the one and only Serena Williams will be joining me on the show, so don't go away. Welcome back. To The Daily Show. My guest tonight is legendary tennis champion and entrepreneur Serena Williams. She's here to talk about her venture fund and being an executive producer of the hit film King Richard. Serena Williams, Welcome to The Daily Show. Thank you for having me. It's truly an honor to have you here, especially at a at a moment like this in life, you know, because it's not every day that I or anybody gets to talk to one of the greatest of all time in any aspect. You know, You've you've conquered the tennis court, but now it seems like Serena is going to be conquering the business world in a really meaningful way. Serena Ventures, Congratulations. The last I heard you raised a hundred and eleven million for for the venture capital firm. Yes, yes we did, and you know, I realized I've actually been investing for about nine years, and then I realized that, you know, the venture capital ecosystem really needs more inclusive people. Really, um, when I learned that less than two percent at the time of women got funding from obviously money, I just honestly I didn't believe that stat and so I thought it was necessary for me to enter in a legit way, and so I just kept building Serena Ventures for years and now here we are, we're raising our first fund at a hundred eleven million. It's it's a really powerful place to begin a journey because you know a lot of people, uh, you know on the ground, I mean myself included. Many years ago, I didn't know what venture capital was. I didn't understand the importance of venture capital. I didn't understand that like that becomes the seed that essentially grows the tree that is the biggest companies that we see on every stock exchange, you know. And so if you can get people in on the ground there, you can change their lives forever. Why did you decide to jump into a world that, I mean does not play nice? Isn't like the the friendliest environment, especially to women and then especially to women of color. Yes, So for me, um, it was really important just just that, like, it's on the ground floor where you want more diversity and where you want more people involved. And that's where if you're looking to create you know, wealth or however you want to look at it, that's where it starts. You know, and it's no better way to start there. Also, I love technology. I have a natural love and just thing that I just love about technology, And I've always wanted to invest in these companies and always wanted to just kind of be a part of it, which hence my journey that started so long ago, um into interventure and then eventually when you invest in early stage. So we do early stage investing, and when you do that, you're really able to not only help how a company thinks and how company performs, but also the first hires of a company. Um So those first five, the first ten are so key. But if you really help a company shape how they hire, then it has a better chance to succeed. But it also has a better chance. To think of inviting everyone to the table. One of the craziest things I saw, um, I mean everyone saw it, you responded to on Twitter was the New York Times posting about you know, like they had an article about your your venture capital firm and the money and everything, but then they used your sister's picture. What you said was really powerful. But I wondered from your point of view, like what was the what was the motion behind it? Like when you hurt, Were you disappointed, were you angry? Honestly, UM, me playing tennis and a sport that has been predominantly you know, white, especially when I first started. You can't allow yourself to get too upset about those things and emotionally take that home, especially if your mom or you have a family. It's it's definitely not something you want to be involved in. You definitely have to just you know, just understand, say something about it like I did, and let it go. For me, it was really just about letting people know that there's still that This is why I've started this fun you know, because there's still space that needs to happen. There are things that need to happen that we need to grow upon, and so that was really important for me. I couldn't help feeling from your response that like that was a little bit of you know, your mom and dad coming through. Now. I haven't met them, but I'm one of the millions of people who've watched the movie, and I feel like I've met your family because it's true though. It's that's how I felt. But thank you for that. Um. It's it felt like, you know, the Williams family has this tenacious attitude. The Williams family goes like, hey, we're gonna address bs when we see it, but we're not gonna let a derail us from what we do. Is it weird to see Will Smith as your dad? You know? It was? It definitely was. I've gotten so used to it now that now when I said, I'm like, hey dadum, But in the beginning, it was definitely weird because it just was just weird. But he did such a great job of just becoming Richard Williams to a point where it was it was actually like I was looking at my dad or really remembering those moments when um, when we were together and when we were younger, and um, it's really amazing how he everything that he did in that film. It does feel like King Richard was just the origin story for you know, a burgeoning world, like you know, the sequels. Because when the movie ends, and I won't spoiler few people haven't seen it, all I want to do is see your movie. Now. I want to see your sister's movie. I want to see your friend. Yeah. I'm like wait, wait, wait, wait, what what do you mean this is it? I want to sit wait. I couldn't believe it was over. I thought it was just getting started. Um, that journey is a really special one. I would love to know how your family managed to keep the love between and your sisters so intense, even when there were so many moments for the two of you to have resent towards each other because you don't you love each other, you support each other, and yet you compete against each other. M hmmm. And that's really important because again, like when you asked me about the New York Times piece, it was like, well, we can't allow that to affect our lives. And we grew up and we still are extremely spiritual people and um really have a great grind, great base of faith, and we know that we have so much more to look forward to. And then we also know that at the end of the day, like tennis a last you know, ten years, twenty years or whatever, but family lasts forever. And even when I'm playing my sister, I always think, Okay, this is just for this moment, this is just for this day, and even if you know we're emotional about it for a couple of days later, like she's always going to be my flesh and blood and nothing else is going to ever come in between that, and so it was it's really important for um us to kind of feel that and just why so much just kind of roll off our shoulders and we just kind of just just go with it. Um. I have a few puss whum. I have a few personal questions, just as a fan from my side. So number one, who, so, who's responsible for your backhand? We didn't really get the onswaer in the movie. I mean, your mom claims the credit, your dad wants to claim the credit. Who made the Serena backhand? Um, it was definitely a combination of both. But I spent a lot of time on the court with my mom growing up, Um, when I was in that age, but when I got a little older, it was just I spend more time with my dad. So it's definitely a mix, okay. And then with regards to your daughter, she has two parents who come from extremely different worlds. I mean, the world's are emerging now, funny enough, but you know you've got the tech dad, and then you've got like the superstar sports mom. What's the thing that she sort of gravitates towards more if you put like a computer in front of her or a tennis record what's the first thing she'd grab. Well, probably the computer because it has you know, all her little TV shows on it, and you know, the movie, so definitely that. Um. But you know, I'm just I'm a fan of tend Is and I definitely root for her to play, but also I'm like, you know, it could be a lot of pressure, so definitely looking at her playing different sports and you know, we haven't quite decided, and it's so it's so interesting now how parents I could say, I think think of it because it's like, you know, my parents had a whole plan and we're just like, well, you know, we'll see if she wants to do this or it's a completely different thing. And yeah, that's just I don't Yeah, I don't know. My dad and my mom were really amazing, and personally, I don't know if I could have done it. I think you.

What's the Daily Show weeknights at eleven central on Comedy Central and stream full episodes anytime on Paramount Plus. This has been a Comedy Central podcast

You're listening to Comedy Central. Twitter has a new feature now where they're gonna let people fact check other people's tweets, which is yes, another world that's about a start. I don't know why they're gonna do that, but apparently they're gonna let you like go like, no, this is not true. Actually read this article, here's the research, here's the thing. You know. I think that's a terrible feature for Twitter. I think that's a great feature for real life. I think in real life it would be great if we could like fact check strangers. That will be soon. You know how many times I'm in a restaurant and then I hear someone at the other table say some ship that's not true, and they're like, yeah, you know, actually careful. I don't want to just leave it and be like, hey, actually, Kevin keV wasn't it hasn't been taken over yet. Yeah. And by the way, it's not pronounced bullabesi. It's weir base all right, have a good night. By the way, he's been here three times this week and he's told women the same story. Coming to you from the heart of times in New York City, the only city in America it's The Daily Sure, here's edition tonight, Who's Leaving Ukraine? The History of Over the Shoulder, Boulder Holders and Serena Williams is the Daily Show with Hey, what's going on? Everybody? Welcome to the Daily Show. I'm Trevor Noah. It is now day eight of Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine and things are escalating quickly, So let's catch up on all the latest developments in our ongoing segment war in Ukraine. Let's start off with the battlefield as of now, that forty mile long convoy of Russian tanks and trucks, it's just sitting outside Kiev, that's all it's doing. It's just sitting there and nobody knows why. Right, Maybe they're waiting for the right moment to strike, or maybe someone double popped their car in front and they have to wait for the driver to come and back it out and move it. Nobody knows. While that convoy has stalled, Russia has been ramping up its bombing of civilian areas and they've captured at least one major city in South Ukraine. But despite seeing their country decimated by the Russian military, the Ukrainian people have still shown some remarkable compassion, and believe it or not, they've shown it to the Russian soldiers themselves. Among all the chaos and Ukraine humanity still prevails. This video going viral this morning, appearing to show Ukrainians helping a captured Russian soldier, giving him tea and food and allowing him to call his mother to tell her that he's okay. You see him right there in the hat. The soldier is seen fighting back tears, apparently telling his mom he didn't want to be there. Ukrainians on social media are telling Russian soldiers if they surrender, people will feed them and take care of them. Wow. Look, man, I don't know all of them, but right now Ukrainians seemed like some of the best people in the world. They're standing up to one of the biggest militaries on the planet, and on top of that, they've captured an invading soldier and they're giving him food and drink. You don't see humanity like that in war. In fact, you don't even see humanity like that on Twitter. Yeah, Like one time I said hot dogs weren't sandwiches and I still get death threats to this day. I mean, look at that soldier. Just look at it like they're giving him sustenance and letting him FaceTime his mom. Do you know, do you know what that means? Like you know, like you know you're being treated humanely when the worst part of being a prisoner of war is trying to get your mom off the phone. Yes, yes, I am seef Mom. No, no, I didn't hear about Linda's office yet. Listen, Mom might have to go. I'm still in the war zone. Yes, I know they were only together for eight months. It is surprising, mom. Yes, yes, I told you, mom, when I find someone, I will get me. Yes, Mom, I mean think about it. Just think about it for a second, free tea, free food, free WiFi. Uh yeah, Russian prisoners are getting better service than passengers and Spirit Airlines. Spirit Airlines, you wish you were a prisoner of war. Meanwhile, the rest of the world continues to rally behind the Ukrainian people. And it's not just big steps like more sanctions on Russian oligochs or the International Criminal Court investigating Russia war crimes. Note, lots of places and lots of people you might not have even heard of, by the way, or not even thought of, are turning to Russia and saying yet e A Sports is now removing Russian teams from some of its biggest sports games. They include NHL two, FIFA twenty two, FIFA Online, hand FIFA mobile. The Russian flag removed at Miami International Airport. Miami Dade County Mayor Daniella Levin Cava gave the order this morning and solidarity with Ukraine. The International Cat Federation has banned Russian cats from competition. Officials announced the rule against any cat belonging to Russian breeders or exhibitors, saying they could not quote witnessed these atrocities and do nothing. Wow, even the International Cat Federation, it's turning against Russia, which, by the way, I didn't even know existed. I don't know about you, but I did not know. And honestly, I'd be worried about pissing off the cat people. I mean they take that ship. Seriously, You think Putin is scary, imagine a Russian Carol Baskin. Hello, cool cats and kittens, and look, it is great. It is great that everyone is showing solidarity against Russia, but even cats are getting banned like it's wild cats. I mean, where does it go next. At this point, I wouldn't be shocked if Donald Trump comes out and he's like, from now on, I will only get paid on by Ukrainian women. We're all in this together. I'm doing my part, doing my part. And E Sports, Yeah, E Sports are taking Russian teams out of their video games, but Ukraine wants them to go even further. Right, they're calling on video game companies to boycott Russia entirely. No games, turn out a Fortnite, Wars on everything, turn it off, And if you ask me, that's the opposite of what they should be doing. Yeah, if you want to disrupt the Russian war effort, I'll turn off the games. You should send everyone in Russia a free copy of Elden Ring. We'll stop the war den in its tracks. Yeah, good luck invading when you're spending forty hours just to get past the first boss. Is he an old man? Is he a tree? How is he so hard to fight? So? Yes, video game companies, airports, the cat community, everyone is coming together to do their part to show Russia that what they're doing is not cool. And one of the many reasons that this is not cool, it's not just because Russia is bombing a peaceful country that did nothing to antagonize them. No, it's also because by doing this they've unleashed one of the worst humanitarian crises that Europe has ever seen. This Russian invasion is leading to another emergency unfolding at this hour, the humanitarian crisis just across Ukraine's borders. The United Nations Refugee Agency says at least one million Ukrainians have fled to neighboring countries, and then millions more could soon join. Tonight, the crush to flee Ukraine. We were in this tunnel at the train station in Lviv. Refugees packed so tightly they could only shuffle forward, parents clutching their children's hands. They've got to be a thousand people in this tunnel right now, all of them pushing their way towards the last track. Here a railway spokesperson saying every hour five to ten thousand more people arrive at the Laviv station in western Ukraine. Ukrainians are queuing for up to twenty hours trying to cross the border. Official'll say this humanitarian crisis is only going to get worse. This exodus we're seeing from Ukraine is the biggest number of people displaced in Europe in the shortest amount of time since World War Two. God damnit, Vladimir Putin. Just imagine, Just imagine one day you're living a normal, peaceful, modern life and the next day you're trekking to the Romanian border on foot. Just think about that for a second. Right we think the world has ended when our WiFi goes down. These people don't know if they'll ever get to go home. One of the major costs of war is how many people get displaced. They have their lives totally uprooted. Like we all think war is like call of duty. You know, you're running your shoot and then you reboot. But for most people it's more like Oregon trail, less exciting, much harder, and way more depressing. And I think we can all agree that it's a bad thing. Man. It is a bad thing when anything comes close to World War two levels, whether it's refugees fighting or waistlines, it's always bad. And this is what people forget about war, you know, because sometimes you hear about a war in a in another country, right you hear about one another country and you think, oh, well, that's sad, But it's over there, So why should I care? But you should care. You should care, you know why, because we all interconnected in the modern age, and that means the fallout of that war spreads all over, whether it's the refugee crisis, or the rising gas prices or the stock market, the ripple effects are everywhere. So in a way, Putin didn't just invade Ukraine. He's also invaded your gas tanks, right, he's invaded your grocery bill, he's invaded your social media feeds. Yeah, you just want to scroll and look at thoughts not Instead, it's thoughts and prayers. One glom of hope, one glomb of hopefull these refugees is that all of Ukraine's neighboring countries are welcoming them with open arms. Ukraine's neighbors welcoming the refugees with open arms, A warm drink and a hug in Moldova, in Slovakia, a chance to watch cartoons. Ukrainians welcomed by Hungarian officials and aid workers, each handed a solidarity ticket a free seat on another train to the Hungarian capital were more help weight. You've got one European country after another saying that they will fast track applications for asylum. The European Union is talking about giving them three years of temporary residency so they can work, they can access benefits. In Poland, they have opened their borders, opened their arms to as many Ukrainian refugees as will arrive. We keep our borders open. The nationals of old countries who suffered from Russian aggression or whose life is at risk can six in my country. Poland's Commissioner to the EU personally offered to host a family of refugees in his own home and warsaw, but the refugees had found an alternative place to stay. This is amazing people. All these countries in Europe have stepped up to take in all of these refugees. And what's also amazing is if I heard correctly, the Polish commissioners to the EU offered to host a family of refugees in his home, but they said, no, thanks, we found another place. I don't care what you say. That's got to hurt. Yeah, you think you're helping refugees and they're like, wow, so is is that your kitchen. That's only been eight days. My standards haven't dropped that much. But still seeing these refugees being greets with open arms and full hearts. It gives me, It gives me a glimb of hope in this world, you know, to see like people helping people in need. I mean. It is interesting though, that Eastern Europe has been so willing and able to accept a million people coming into their countries in just a few days, when just recently, just recently, didn't seem to have any space for a different group of refugees. The humanitarian crisis in Europe continues to grow and increasingly exposed fault lines, hundreds of thousands of refugees streaming in from Syria and elsewhere. But as the arguing continues, so does the suffering. As Europe struggles for a solution, refugees forced to zig zag from one country to another with no clear path. The EU has effectively paid Turkey to keep Syrians from getting to Greece. Woland it pledge to take in a number of the refugees, saying now that it is not going to do that, we will not be receiving migrants from the Middle East and North Africa in Poland. This is Hungary solution to the flood of refugees pouring in a thirteen foot fence topped with razor wire, running about a hundred fifteen miles along its border with Serbia. Police and ridegear told they can shoot rubber bullets at anyone who tries to cross hostility. Here in Hungary, video shocking the world. The Hungarian camera woman kicking that girl as she runs from police and this as a man runs by carrying a small child, she trips him and he falls to the ground. Hungry's Prime Minister, Victor Urban had a message for the migrants themselves. The moral human singer is to make clear, please don't come. That's really strange. When it's Syrians who are fleeing a war. It's all we do not have space, do not come. But now the space and people must come. What changed? I mean, when the Syrians needed refuge, even the camera crew was drop kicking families. Yeah, but now Ukrainians are getting accommodation, they're getting visas, they' getting work benefits, which by the way, is good, it is a good thing. But I'm just saying, where's their drop kick? And look, we don't even have to speculate, we don't have to speculate about why they're treating Ukrainians so differently than refugees from Africa or from the Middle East. It's because the Prime Minister of Belgaria, he came out and said it right, he said, these are not the refugees we are used to. These people are Europeans. These people are int legant, they are educated people. Yeah, sir, kind of a shocking thing to say. But at the same time, I will say I'm impressed that the Prime Minister of Bulgaria has found the time to get to know all one million refugees that have fled Ukraine in the past week. You must be very efficient and making small talk. So are you're from? What you do? What do you think? HI like you and please don't get me wrong. Don't get me wrong here. I understand the arguments, right, I understand the arguments that these countries will make. Right that they have to think about how easy it is for refugees to integrate into their culture and society. I get that. I truly get that. It's just like it's easier for you to take in a family member who's in trouble than a random person who needs help. You know, like lots of kids got in one little fight with a couple of guys who are up to no good. But there's reason Uncle Full and not Viv only took in. Will I get it, But it doesn't mean it's impossible. It doesn't mean it's impossible. And the problem I have is that when it's Syrians or Africans on a boat, these countries didn't even try to integrate them. They didn't even say women and children only know. They reject even the chance that anyone brown could assimilate. Your skin is too dark, you couldn't possibly be bushed. And I know right now, I know right now that somebody was like Trevor again with the racisim what is it with black people? I'm no racism always talking about it? You know, I go years at a time without even thinking about raciship. It's jeez, why don't you try? Well, maybe the reason black people always talking about racism is because racism is always happening to the black people, and we're seeing it again now in Ukraine. African and Indian students stuck in Ukraine are accusing officials of discriminating against them and pushing them back from getting to the border. This video posted to Twitter reads watch how they are threatening to shoot us, saying there after Ukraine Poland border, the police and army are refusing to let Africans cross, they only allow Ukrainians. Foreign students who faced segregation and racism at the border cross seeing to Poland. Some say they were told they can't board buses there because they were meant for Ukrainians only. Videos have been posted on social media said to show black people being prevented from boarding a train and left stranded at a railway station in Naviva as Ukrainians were allowed on. One Congo native saying he was discriminated against while trying to board a train out of Ukraine. David told us like, we are going to give you guns and you're gonna fight for Ukraine. Said, Hi, we're gonna fight for Ukraine. We are not Ukrainian, we are black, So ow can you fight? How can we fight for Ukraine? Yeah? Just think about this for a moment. Black people, students, tourists, visitors, many of them are saying they cannot get out of the country. They can't get out because they're black. They just get blocked at the border. And for this guy, I mean this is wild. Imagine being prevented from leaving the country. And not just that, but they say like no, not only can you not leave, you have to grab a gun. And that is insane. People from other countries haven't been told that they have to fight. Why does he huh? The British person gets to go the African guy, No, no, you're staying. We've watched Beasts of No Nation. We know you guys know how to handle yourselves. That's what you guys do. That's not fair. Man. When you go to another country, you don't expect that they might be conscripting you into a war. You don't think you're gonna be fighting in their army. Like I'll tell you now, the Louver would get a lot few visitors if they were like, oh, come and see them on Na Lisa, take a selfie with Venez. Maybe you fight for us in the well. Have you seen that? Bramans welcome. It's extremely weird. It's extremely weird. To awesome, random African guy to fight for Ukraine. Why is that expected of him? Why can't he join the fight the way white people from other countries do. By posting an instant story of the Ukrainian flag with a little heart emoji, I'm here for the Ukraine that's not the point. The bigger points is that there seems to be a widespread discrimination against people of color who are trying to flee a war zone. And it's nuts. It's really nuts to see border guards suddenly turn into club bounces. Everybody on the bus, every other but hold on, hold on, no hoodies, no sneakers. Yeah, oh yeah, and the hot the hot friend, yeah, she can come up. Not to mention, it's gonna be super confusing for the Russian army when they roll into Kiev and then there's only black people left. Comrades, I think we two go long turn somewhere. I told you don't use upple maps, use ways and look. I know because of these stories, there are many Africans and many Middle Easterners who are seeing these videos and they're like, you know what, screw Ukraine. If they're going to be racist, Putin can take Ukraine and he can have Poland for desserts. For real. That's what a lot of people are saying. You can see it online. People are angry because they're like, how can you let racism get in the way of getting people out of the way of war. But I think rather than this being a moment to turn on each other. This refugee crisis should be a reminder that refugee is not a synonym for brown person. Anyone could become a refugee. It's a thing that happens to you. It's not who you are and who knows you know, maybe one day you might be a refugee. I hope it doesn't happen to you, but it could. And if God forbid that day comes. Wouldn't you want someone without any prejudice in their heart to open their doors to you, to welcome you into their home so that you can look around their house and say thanks, I think I can do better? All right. When we come back, Dasie Lyde will take a look at the history of bras and the one and only Serena Williams is joining us on the show. You don't want to miss it. Welcome back to the Daily Show. As you know, as you should know, March is Women's History Month, and to celebrate we turned to Dasilideck, where she doesn't explore history, but his hurry. Bras also known as braziers or more formally, over the shoulder boulder holders. The histories of women and their bras have been pushed together and held there for as long as we can remember. And you can always tell a lot about what's going on with women in society by how their breasts are being stored. From the ancient Romans wearing bando style sports bras for athletic competitions to the women of the early Afts who shot whipped cream out of their bras is a way to destigmatize public breast beating. I was nursing, I could never quite get my milk to come out that frothy. One of the earliest versions of the bra was in the Middle Ages, when women could wear two fabric bags over their breasts inside their clothing. These ladies didn't have time for cute underwear. It was the thirteen hundreds. They were more concerned with finding new recipes for gruel and not dying from a paper cut. For a while, during the French Revolution and Victorian eras, bras took a back seat two corsets, which ever so gently molded a woman's body into that super desirable hour glass figure, because nothing is sexier than a woman who might be filled with sand. Luckily, by the end of the nineteenth century, a frenchwoman named aremony. Caddal had designed the first modern brawl by cutting a corset in two and sewing it into something that was then considered lingerie and would now be considered school clothes on euphoria. It gave women more freedom than the traditional corset, but was still impossible to take your bra through your shirt in the locker room at Planet Fitness. Be right there, don't start zooma without me, thankfully. In nineteen fourteen, and nineteen year old named Caress Crosby and bent at a bra that ditched the corset altogether. Crosby wanted a broad away to her debutant ball that was actually comfortable, so she made one herself out of two handkerchiefs tied together with a ribbon. It turned out to be a huge hit at the ball, probably because in a corset bral, the only dance women could do was the robot, and no one likes the person at the party doing the robot it, especially before robots were invented. She's possessed fetch father Okay With her new bra, Caress Crosbie and women everywhere were liberated, except for the fact that they were still women in nineteen fourteen, but aside from that liberated. Crosbie's braw was a hit, but it continued to evolve, and by the nineteen fifties, new styles led to an all out buber party. Bras became an intrinsic part of fashion, with underwires and padding allowing women to emulate the stars of the era like Marilyn Monroe and Jane Mansfield, and ample bosom was as synonymous with nineteen fifties womanhood is not having a bank account or getting excited when you get a vacuum for your anniversary. And it wasn't just about the curves thanks to torpedo bras, it was also about the tweetiness, which may look a little odd now, but at the time it was the Cold War, so it made sense to have extra missiles on hand in case Russian invaded. But while bras were supporting women, not all women were supporting bras. In fact, by the late nineteen sixties, going brawles became a fashion statement. Boobs were free to hang and move around and swing as much as all the couples at the party. It was a great time for boobs, except for all the polyester they were rubbing against for the first time, but contrary to popular belief, burning bras was never actually a thing. What did happen is that in nineteen sixty eight, demonstrators were protesting the Miss America pageant for being sexist, racist, and forcing women to solve world peace in ten seconds at least five minutes to do that. So protesters tossed symbols of their oppression into what they referred to as the freedom trash can, which also happens to be what I call the dumpster outside Whole Foods. And those symbols of oppression included bras, but they never actually set them on fire. That's just a myth, like my old menstrual cramps or the male orgasm. I'll believe it when I see it. But by that point, braus were so ingrained in society that many people struggled with the idea that they can be optional. The idea took hold that not wearing a bra was somehow inappropriate or unprofessional, like in nineteen ninety when a woman in Arkansas was found in contempt of court when the judge said her breasts were obviously showing through her shirt. Objection, your honor, my right to a fair trial is up here, and only a few years ago, a Florida high school student was forced to put band aids over her nipples at school. That's a trip to the school nurse that will also send you to the school psychiatrist. I'm just kidding. American schools can't afford those, but for those who want to wear them, it's a great time for bras Right now, brad designers are no longer telling women what they should be wearing. Instead, they're listening to what women want to wear. There are so many comfortable options now, from at leisure to sports bras. Women can live a life where they aren't being squeeze like an empty tube of toothpaste. And there's no telling what the future of bras will be like. Maybe twenty years from now, all bras will be n f T s. Who knows, not me. I literally don't know what that means. But whatever form Bro's take, there's one thing that you can always count on. They will lose their shape in the dryer, but only if you wash them in the first place. Thank you so much, Daisy. All right, when we come back, the one and only Serena Williams will be joining me on the show, so don't go away. Welcome back. To The Daily Show. My guest tonight is legendary tennis champion and entrepreneur Serena Williams. She's here to talk about her venture fund and being an executive producer of the hit film King Richard. Serena Williams, Welcome to The Daily Show. Thank you for having me. It's truly an honor to have you here, especially at a at a moment like this in life, you know, because it's not every day that I or anybody gets to talk to one of the greatest of all time in any aspect. You know, You've you've conquered the tennis court, but now it seems like Serena is going to be conquering the business world in a really meaningful way. Serena Ventures, Congratulations. The last I heard you raised a hundred and eleven million for for the venture capital firm. Yes, yes we did, and you know, I realized I've actually been investing for about nine years, and then I realized that, you know, the venture capital ecosystem really needs more inclusive people. Really, um, when I learned that less than two percent at the time of women got funding from obviously money, I just honestly I didn't believe that stat and so I thought it was necessary for me to enter in a legit way, and so I just kept building Serena Ventures for years and now here we are, we're raising our first fund at a hundred eleven million. It's it's a really powerful place to begin a journey because you know a lot of people, uh, you know on the ground, I mean myself included. Many years ago, I didn't know what venture capital was. I didn't understand the importance of venture capital. I didn't understand that like that becomes the seed that essentially grows the tree that is the biggest companies that we see on every stock exchange, you know. And so if you can get people in on the ground there, you can change their lives forever. Why did you decide to jump into a world that, I mean does not play nice? Isn't like the the friendliest environment, especially to women and then especially to women of color. Yes, So for me, um, it was really important just just that, like, it's on the ground floor where you want more diversity and where you want more people involved. And that's where if you're looking to create you know, wealth or however you want to look at it, that's where it starts. You know, and it's no better way to start there. Also, I love technology. I have a natural love and just thing that I just love about technology, And I've always wanted to invest in these companies and always wanted to just kind of be a part of it, which hence my journey that started so long ago, um into interventure and then eventually when you invest in early stage. So we do early stage investing, and when you do that, you're really able to not only help how a company thinks and how company performs, but also the first hires of a company. Um So those first five, the first ten are so key. But if you really help a company shape how they hire, then it has a better chance to succeed. But it also has a better chance. To think of inviting everyone to the table. One of the craziest things I saw, um, I mean everyone saw it, you responded to on Twitter was the New York Times posting about you know, like they had an article about your your venture capital firm and the money and everything, but then they used your sister's picture. What you said was really powerful. But I wondered from your point of view, like what was the what was the motion behind it? Like when you hurt, Were you disappointed, were you angry? Honestly, UM, me playing tennis and a sport that has been predominantly you know, white, especially when I first started. You can't allow yourself to get too upset about those things and emotionally take that home, especially if your mom or you have a family. It's it's definitely not something you want to be involved in. You definitely have to just you know, just understand, say something about it like I did, and let it go. For me, it was really just about letting people know that there's still that This is why I've started this fun you know, because there's still space that needs to happen. There are things that need to happen that we need to grow upon, and so that was really important for me. I couldn't help feeling from your response that like that was a little bit of you know, your mom and dad coming through. Now. I haven't met them, but I'm one of the millions of people who've watched the movie, and I feel like I've met your family because it's true though. It's that's how I felt. But thank you for that. Um. It's it felt like, you know, the Williams family has this tenacious attitude. The Williams family goes like, hey, we're gonna address bs when we see it, but we're not gonna let a derail us from what we do. Is it weird to see Will Smith as your dad? You know? It was? It definitely was. I've gotten so used to it now that now when I said, I'm like, hey dadum, But in the beginning, it was definitely weird because it just was just weird. But he did such a great job of just becoming Richard Williams to a point where it was it was actually like I was looking at my dad or really remembering those moments when um, when we were together and when we were younger, and um, it's really amazing how he everything that he did in that film. It does feel like King Richard was just the origin story for you know, a burgeoning world, like you know, the sequels. Because when the movie ends, and I won't spoiler few people haven't seen it, all I want to do is see your movie. Now. I want to see your sister's movie. I want to see your friend. Yeah. I'm like wait, wait, wait, wait, what what do you mean this is it? I want to sit wait. I couldn't believe it was over. I thought it was just getting started. Um, that journey is a really special one. I would love to know how your family managed to keep the love between and your sisters so intense, even when there were so many moments for the two of you to have resent towards each other because you don't you love each other, you support each other, and yet you compete against each other. M hmmm. And that's really important because again, like when you asked me about the New York Times piece, it was like, well, we can't allow that to affect our lives. And we grew up and we still are extremely spiritual people and um really have a great grind, great base of faith, and we know that we have so much more to look forward to. And then we also know that at the end of the day, like tennis a last you know, ten years, twenty years or whatever, but family lasts forever. And even when I'm playing my sister, I always think, Okay, this is just for this moment, this is just for this day, and even if you know we're emotional about it for a couple of days later, like she's always going to be my flesh and blood and nothing else is going to ever come in between that, and so it was it's really important for um us to kind of feel that and just why so much just kind of roll off our shoulders and we just kind of just just go with it. Um. I have a few puss whum. I have a few personal questions, just as a fan from my side. So number one, who, so, who's responsible for your backhand? We didn't really get the onswaer in the movie. I mean, your mom claims the credit, your dad wants to claim the credit. Who made the Serena backhand? Um, it was definitely a combination of both. But I spent a lot of time on the court with my mom growing up, Um, when I was in that age, but when I got a little older, it was just I spend more time with my dad. So it's definitely a mix, okay. And then with regards to your daughter, she has two parents who come from extremely different worlds. I mean, the world's are emerging now, funny enough, but you know you've got the tech dad, and then you've got like the superstar sports mom. What's the thing that she sort of gravitates towards more if you put like a computer in front of her or a tennis record what's the first thing she'd grab.
