Colin Kaepernick

Colin Kaepernick joins Dax Shepard to talk about growing up Black in a white adoptive family, finding belonging in a Modesto barbershop, and the path that took him from baseball prospect to NFL quarterback. They discuss the racial code words used to evaluate quarterbacks, his rapid rise to the Super Bowl in his tenth career start, and the teammate who helped turn his anthem protest from sitting into kneeling. Kaepernick reflects on how reading Malcolm X reframed his childhood and why loving parents can still have blind spots. The conversation also touches on seeing his daughter inherit his refusal to back down.
