or your family members but i think our household for the first couple of months of quarantine were in full organization mode, marie kondo'ing one room and organizing another one. putting all the junk in another room. we were definitely not primetime nady at this house. >> so it was a little s b treaso the ease of filming in the comfort of your own home which was really, really different for us. >> without that commute. tell you that much. >> the commute is quick. >> yes. >> and you play a married couple dealing with life in quarantine. we're going to take a quick look at a clip. let's go. >> do not touch your face, do not forget to wipe your credit card down with san tie wipes. >> got it. >> i usually do the quarantine shopping. i can get in and out. >> give me the list, i'll cross everything off. you're not the only one that wants to get out of the house. >> okay. >> good luck. >> should i kiss the baby good-bye. >> if you don't come back, i

will tell her how brave her daddy was. >> how similar is the couple you play in the show to you in real life? >> they look a lot like us. their home is not too bad. we gave -- we offered up a lot of our relationship actually. we thought if it was relatable to us that somebody else might relate to it. if it was happening in our house it was most likely happening in someone else's house so we offered up a lot. >> i mean that scene that you just saw was definitely an instant that took place in our real lives. he really did forget to look at the back of the list when he went grocery shopping and made it into the script. >> that's extremely relatable in my house too as well so, yeah, i got that. leslie, before we let you go, we want to wish you a belated happy birthday. it was about a week and a half ago, correct? i understand your daughter made you a cake? >> she made me the sweetest cake, a little hollow in the nt

♪ i do my hair toss better buckle up. we are back with the two women who are launching a cutting-edge late night show unlike any we've ever seen before. ladies and gentlemen, jemele hill and cari champion are known for their sports reporting but now these colleagues and good friends, they're anchoring "cari & jemele: stick to sportse news of the day and more, cari and jemele join us from their gorgeous studio. i'm a little envious. i lo it's a morning show. you're not late night yet. this is a morning show. but you both are known for speaking your mind. >> we will be on our best behavior. >> oh, sure, promises promises.
7:56 am
who is going to stir it up first when you're on tonight, when the show launches? who will be the first to stir things up? >> it'll probably be me, robin, becae you know, as america t ve said a few things and she likes to stir things up, so i think it will be a new opportunity to see me in a late night role not talking sports or giving out stats, and talking about sports actually in a very different way. how it intersects with politics and pop culture and entertainment. >> jemele, i thought it was going to be you to be the first things to stir things up. it's going to be cari. is that true? >> it's going to be cari. look, i live in the bubble of trouble, as you know, robin. so people are accustomed to me saying these things. they are not accustomed to her, so i can't wait until they hear all these spicy takes from cari are not familiar, jemele, why
7:57 am
the title of the show, "stick to sports." tell everybody. >> well, as you know, robin, for the last few years, i think up until recently that was what the mantra seemed to be. there were a lot of people who were being very intellectually dishonest about what was happening in sports and as you know, sports, politics, race, gender, culture, they have always mashed together. in many cases, sports has been ahead of the rest of the world when it comes to social change. look no further than jackie robinson and muhammad ali and plenty of other instances but there was this loud minority that kept saying that people like cari and i, black athletes, anybody who expressed an opinion that was counter to theirs to stick to sports as if they don' tir >> so tell us what people can expect from your show, cari. >> i think we're going to have all of those things, i think we're going to have everything or, i think our first guest,k to
7:58 am
he is probably the poster child for stick to sports. we'll have lebron james on. he has so many wonderful initiatives happening right now, more than a vote. he'll talk about that, what that community is trying to do and most importantly what they're expected to do and that is to really talk about voter suppression and stop it. so that's one of our guests for our premiere episode, robin. and hopefully sometime soon we >> i see what you're doing, oh, i saw what you're doing here. but love how you just, oh, by the way, lebron is our first guest. just, oh, by the way, no big >> you shouldn't be -- we shouldn't be shocked that the first guest is a laker because this one is a big laker fan so we should knot be surprised. -- not be surprised. >> uh-oh. so that's why the purple chairs? is that why you have the laker purple chairs that you have?
7:59 am
oh, i see. >> i also have laker shoes in the back, robin. do you see the laker shoes in the back? there's a lot of things happening here. >> there's always things happening when you two are around but you know what, you say this so well, but, jemele, sports can a microcosm of society and we're seeing athletes step you now and -- up now and speaking out about social injustice and wanting to right that, and the demonstrations that we've seen, kneeling. do you think, both of you, do you think that's something we're going to continue to see from athletes? >> oh, definitely. >> oh, for sure. >> i think they're in this moment and they plan to not only make it a moment but a movement and i yok inu' sll athletes -- they'll go beyond just the gesth he ei own inittis. lebr ione example.player alway been vocal in the wnba and now they're finding themselves to be
8:00 am
exposed to a new platform, a new audience so i expect them to take it to the next level but these issues, the athletes are insistent that they will stay in the forefront of our conversation in america. >> you mentioned kneeling specifically. we will see kneeling more and more often. it will become commonplace. i think the unfortunate thing about kneeling is colin kaepernick had to lose his career because of it, but it is not a symbol of disrespect. it's a symbol of respect in itself, and so i expect to see that throughout all sports, throughout all major league sports. >> all right. all right, you two. well, cari and jemele, cannot wait for this show, "stick to sports." it will premiere on vice tv on wednesday and thank you, thank you for being here with us and dropping some knowledge and letting us know that lebron is going to be one of your guests but i'm so proud of you guys. >> you got the exclusive, robin and, again, we would love to have you and michael on for that matter and tell him we said hello. >> i love how you included
