Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central now coming to you from
Speaker 1: New York City. Please lose me City an America. It's
Speaker 1: The Daily Shown, hanging out with Mike Pinn the World's
Speaker 1: Oldest Young People, and Tonight Carrera This He's the Daily
Speaker 1: Show with Forever coming on. Thank you so much for
Speaker 1: tuning in, Thank you for coming out, and Puston, thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you. Come you don't come in, everybody, We've got
Speaker 1: a great shot into that. Take a seat. Let's get
Speaker 1: into this. America denies the election, deny us. Louis Black
Speaker 1: exposes people who are secretly old and if you don't
Speaker 1: like crowds, well you might be living on the wrong planet.
Speaker 1: So let's do those people. Let's up straight into today's headlines.
Speaker 1: All right, Before we get into the big stories, let's
Speaker 1: catch up on a few other things going on in
Speaker 1: the world, starting with Taylor Swift. This morning, tickets went
Speaker 1: on sale for the singer's first tour in four years,
Speaker 1: and so many fans rushed onto the ticket Master site
Speaker 1: that it immediately crashed and no one can get tickets.
Speaker 1: And yeah, ticket Master to Taylor Swift so wrong. She's
Speaker 1: already put out three albums about them. They're gonna learn
Speaker 1: their lessons. And look, I know everyone thinks getting these
Speaker 1: tickets is the most important thing in the world, but
Speaker 1: it's really not all it. If you don't get them,
Speaker 1: just relax, log off, you know, just give the site
Speaker 1: like a chance to cool down and repair itself, and
Speaker 1: then you know, don't bother you, just you just chill.
Speaker 1: All right, I got mine. You can go back on,
Speaker 1: you can go back on, you do whatever you want.
Speaker 1: In in labor news, Amazon is reportedly planning to lay
Speaker 1: off up to ten thousand employees this week. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: largest job cuts in the company's history. And I don't
Speaker 1: even know how this is possible, right, Me and everyone
Speaker 1: I know buy something on Amazon every day and then
Speaker 1: returns up the next day when we realize we didn't
Speaker 1: actually need it anymore. How are they not making money?
Speaker 1: And I feel full the Amazon workers who are getting
Speaker 1: laid off. But the silver lining is at least you
Speaker 1: can steal great ship on the way out. Yeah. No,
Speaker 1: at most offices you can only take what like a stapler.
Speaker 1: But if you get fired from Amazon, you've got like
Speaker 1: seven air fryers. I was walking out of the warehouse
Speaker 1: like my prime day came early oh in uh in
Speaker 1: international news. Europe is on high alert tonight after Russian
Speaker 1: missiles aimed at Ukraine hit Poland instead. Yeah, which apparently
Speaker 1: could trigger a full natural response. And honestly, like, why
Speaker 1: do these world wars always gotta start in Poland? It's
Speaker 1: like the waffle house parking a lot of Europe And
Speaker 1: I look, I don't want to scare anyone. I don't
Speaker 1: want to scare anyone, but this could be the beginning
Speaker 1: of World War three. I don't want to scare you.
Speaker 1: Though I'm not saying it will be, it could be.
Speaker 1: So remember this is a good time to just like
Speaker 1: spend time with your family, you know, put down your
Speaker 1: phones and just spend some more tickets. Suckers, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be the front vote by myself. All right, all right,
Speaker 1: let's move on to some of the bigger stories of
Speaker 1: the day. Start saying with the latest on the mid terms, which, yes,
Speaker 1: the votes are somehow still being counted. I think election
Speaker 1: officials are like using their fingers. I don't know. The
Speaker 1: point is we need to be patients. But it's becoming
Speaker 1: increasingly clear that the American people, or at least the
Speaker 1: half of them who actually voted, have delivered a split decision,
Speaker 1: with Democrats taking the Senate and Republicans all but certain
Speaker 1: to win control of the House, which means that in
Speaker 1: order for Americans will succeed, Democrats and Republicans will have
Speaker 1: to work together, so America will not succeed. And you know,
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's kind of a weird situation for
Speaker 1: Americans to vietin. You know, having a split Congress is
Speaker 1: like being raised by two parents who don't see eye
Speaker 1: to eye on anything. Like one parent wants you to
Speaker 1: take ballet lessons and the other parent thinks ballet lessons
Speaker 1: are a Communist plot to turn your trans and neither
Speaker 1: parent wants you to ask questions about who killed Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 1: But the mid terms weren't just about who runs DC.
Speaker 1: It turns out they were also about who runs the states.
Speaker 1: And in Arizona, a closely watched governor's race has finally
Speaker 1: been called this morning, another major symbolic defeat for former
Speaker 1: President Donald Trump in the mid terms. Democrat Katie Hobbs
Speaker 1: narrowly beating Republican Kerry Lake for Arizona governor. Lake had
Speaker 1: been one of Mr Trump's most prominent allies in the
Speaker 1: mid terms and one of the stanchest supporters of his
Speaker 1: false claims, denying the results of the election, Lake continuing
Speaker 1: to question her own races results last night, tweeting Arizonans
Speaker 1: no bs when they see it. Yes, apparently they do,
Speaker 1: but I guess in in the least surprising plot twist ever,
Speaker 1: a woman who ran on a platform of denying election
Speaker 1: results is now denying her election results. And in a way,
Speaker 1: I bet she's relieved that she lost. Yeah, because if
Speaker 1: she won, then what she would have to deny herself.
Speaker 1: It would have would have shattered her reality. It would
Speaker 1: be like t LC meeting a scrub and liking him.
Speaker 1: What it turns out a scrub as a guy who
Speaker 1: can get love from me? What? Well, you know what,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go chase some waterfalls. Anyway, this this is
Speaker 1: a lot for Carry Lake, So please please let's give
Speaker 1: her some space as she goes through the five stages
Speaker 1: of Republican grief, denial, denial, denial, pooping in Nancy Pelosi's office,
Speaker 1: and denial. But remember, remember the reason this result has
Speaker 1: big implications is because with Carry losses, With Carry Lake's loss,
Speaker 1: rather every election denial running for governor or secretary of
Speaker 1: state in a swing state has now lost their races,
Speaker 1: which is huge for democracy. Did you directly? You know
Speaker 1: this is this is just like in those horror rooms
Speaker 1: where they killed the monster and then he never comes
Speaker 1: back again. You did it? Democrats, Now leave the knife
Speaker 1: on the council and go take a sexy shower upstairs. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but enough about the midterms, enough about that. The campaign
Speaker 1: is over and it's time for the parties to govern.
Speaker 1: I'm shooting you, it's not gonna happen. It's actually time
Speaker 1: for the parties to campaign for the next election. I
Speaker 1: don't know why, but American loves campaign. Is that you
Speaker 1: campaign to campaign, campaign to campaign. It never ends. It's
Speaker 1: like seeing someone who's only interested in full play. You
Speaker 1: like that, You're ready? Yeah, well, let's put your clothes
Speaker 1: back on and start again. Oh yeah, oh yeah, what's
Speaker 1: your name? Oh yeah, let's do that again. Anyway, as
Speaker 1: everyone prepares themselves to what race will be like with Trump,
Speaker 1: there's one parts. There's one parts that will be different
Speaker 1: this time, and that is one of Trump's biggest ass
Speaker 1: liquers is going to be leaving his ass very dry.
Speaker 1: Nearly two years after a mob of Donald Trump's supporters
Speaker 1: attacked the capital, disrupting the transfer of power and chanting
Speaker 1: Hang Mike, and Trump's once loyal vice president is finally
Speaker 1: telling his story about what happened that day. The President's
Speaker 1: words were reckless and his actions were reckless. President's words
Speaker 1: that day at the rally endangered me and my family
Speaker 1: and everyone at the Capitol building. Given all that you
Speaker 1: witnessed in the Capital on that day, this is a
Speaker 1: pretty straightforward question. Yes or no? Do you believe that
Speaker 1: Donald Trump should ever be president again? David? I think
Speaker 1: that's up to the American people, but I think we'll
Speaker 1: have better choices in the future. Oh yeah, good for
Speaker 1: Mike Pence telling Donald Trump, you almost got me and
Speaker 1: my family killed, which is why I'm now prepared to
Speaker 1: say that it's possible there are better alternatives to you
Speaker 1: in the next election called THEO. That decision will be
Speaker 1: up to the American people. You tell them, Mike Pence,
Speaker 1: you tell him thrilled event, it's a simple question, do
Speaker 1: you support Trump or not. I don't believe Mike Pence
Speaker 1: is the one leaving us hanging, and I know I
Speaker 1: know why he's doing this right, and he's doing it
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to go too hot against Trump because
Speaker 1: he's still hoping to win over Trump's voters if he
Speaker 1: runs for president, which is so delusional. Trump's people were
Speaker 1: the ones who wanted to kill him. The only reason
Speaker 1: they would elect him president so that they know for
Speaker 1: sure where he lived. Why would they vote for you?
Speaker 1: And even if that strategy works, it's still makes him
Speaker 1: a punk ass bitch, it does. I'm sorry for this.
Speaker 1: Not the type of man you want leading the United States?
Speaker 1: All right, Well do you quite even say the thing
Speaker 1: out loud? If Pence was president, forget China, Canada would
Speaker 1: be invading. Yeah. I was like, oh, sorry, sorry, We're
Speaker 1: gonna take Oregon. It just seems so easy. Sorry, sorry,
Speaker 1: but let's move on to some international news right now.
Speaker 1: If you're going through a breakup, your friends might be
Speaker 1: telling you that there were lots of people out there
Speaker 1: and they're right. In fact, they're more right today than
Speaker 1: ever before. UN says that there will be a new
Speaker 1: milestone in human development as the world population is expected
Speaker 1: to hit eight billion today. The agency adds that this
Speaker 1: unprecedented growth is due to improvements in public health, medicine
Speaker 1: and high levels of fertility in some countries. This is
Speaker 1: staggering when you consider that one hundred years ago, according
Speaker 1: to the U n the global population was two billion
Speaker 1: or under eight billion. Hell yeah, eight billion people, everybody,
Speaker 1: eight billion people on Earth. I didn't need the UN
Speaker 1: to tell me this. I could already tell they were
Speaker 1: eight billion people because every single one of them was
Speaker 1: ahead of me. For Taylor Swift tickets in line. And
Speaker 1: I'm proud. I am proud of all of us people
Speaker 1: because say what you want about the human race, but
Speaker 1: one thing is for sure with Yeah, congratulations to everyone
Speaker 1: for smashing and yes, some people are working harder than others,
Speaker 1: but the rest of us deserve some credit to I
Speaker 1: kind of I kind of wish that the UN didn't
Speaker 1: even announce this because it feels like bragging, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like I feel like COVID is gonna see that we
Speaker 1: hit a new population milestone and be like, well I
Speaker 1: saw them hit a billion, and I took that personnel.
Speaker 1: I saw that, and I was like, I might come back.
Speaker 1: And by the way, I get now why the United
Speaker 1: Nations never actually does anything. Yeah, people are like, can
Speaker 1: you maybe stop the war in Ukraine? And they're like, sorry,
Speaker 1: we're kind of busy seven billion, two hundred million and
Speaker 1: one seven billion, two undred million and two seven billion,
Speaker 1: and a lot of people, A lot of people are
Speaker 1: worried that eight billion people is too much and that
Speaker 1: we need some weight control overpopulation. Although I find it
Speaker 1: interesting that those people never think of themselves as part
Speaker 1: of the problem, because those people are like Earth, there's
Speaker 1: two crowded. We gotta get rid of some of these people.
Speaker 1: You're like, how about you your people? No, not not me.
Speaker 1: I met like China or something. Come on, how are
Speaker 1: you talking about? And honestly, I don't think it's a problem. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it's a myth. I think we can handle
Speaker 1: the Earth's population if we just do a better job
Speaker 1: of distributing its resources. Right. But but if if we
Speaker 1: are going to reduce the population, I think the smartest
Speaker 1: way to do it, it's just to get rid of
Speaker 1: identical twins. No, because it's a waste. It's a complete waste. Right,
Speaker 1: we already have one of you, and it's like having
Speaker 1: two copies of the same picture on your phone, just
Speaker 1: the leak one easy at least. Wait, don't don't don't
Speaker 1: twist my words. Don't get it twisted. I don't want
Speaker 1: to hear identical twins being like, Oh, Trevor, are you
Speaker 1: saying you're gonna kill my brother? No, I'm not saying that.
Speaker 1: I'm saying you have to. All right, that's it for
Speaker 1: the headlines. Before we go to break, let's chime, let's
Speaker 1: check in on the weather with the one and only.
Speaker 1: Desn't like like everybody says to have your back seasons
Speaker 1: are changing, So of what's that? What's the weather looking like?
Speaker 1: I don't know, Trevor. It's cold. It's called outside. It's
Speaker 1: cold in hair. You can't escape it, although your nipples
Speaker 1: are trying to I can see him through your shirt.
Speaker 1: Why would you tell the people that you know? Why?
Speaker 1: You know? Why, Trevor, Because it's the truth, Okay. And
Speaker 1: if there's one thing that we learned from the mid terms,
Speaker 1: it's the power of telling the truth. The candidates who
Speaker 1: lied about the election they lost and the ones who
Speaker 1: told the truth one. So from now on, I am
Speaker 1: addicted to telling the truth and also uplifting, which I
Speaker 1: needed to say because I'm now telling the truth. No,
Speaker 1: I feel like I shouldn't be wearing that watch that
Speaker 1: you got me for my birthday. Oh no, no, don't worry.
Speaker 1: I didn't shoplift that I founded in Ronnie's dressing room.
Speaker 1: Here's another truth, Katie Hobbs's victory wasn't just a win
Speaker 1: for truth. It was a win for women. Now there
Speaker 1: are a record twelve women governor serving at the same time. Twelve.
Speaker 1: That's amazing out of fifty. That's almost half of half,
Speaker 1: and only one of them almost got kidnapped last year.
Speaker 1: We're doing it ladies now. Yeah. You know, hopefully what
Speaker 1: happened in Arizona leads to more politicians telling the truth. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: I mean we even saw Mike Penn's coming around to
Speaker 1: the truth today, you know. I mean, he won't admit
Speaker 1: that his body is seventy manna's yet, but he did
Speaker 1: come out and say that he doesn't like when people
Speaker 1: try to hang him. So brave of him to speak
Speaker 1: his truth while promoting a book. You know, this just
Speaker 1: goes to show that people need to stand up to
Speaker 1: their bullies and tell them the truth. Speaking of which, Trevor,
Speaker 1: you got anything you want to say to me a
Speaker 1: little bit? No, ma'am, no, no, no, on the whistle
Speaker 1: torn No, that's what I thought. What I thought. Look um,
Speaker 1: I'm the bully here I laughed at you. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Look Um, I just want to say, as long as
Speaker 1: we're telling the truth, I'm going to tell one of
Speaker 1: the hardest truths of all right here on the air tonight,
Speaker 1: in front of eight billion people. I assume they all
Speaker 1: watch Trevor. I. I don't know how to do the weather.
Speaker 1: I don't. I really don't. Thank you. They get it,
Speaker 1: thank you. I don't know what a low pressure system is.
Speaker 1: I don't know how tornadoes work. What even is a
Speaker 1: wind chill? Does it make us cold? Or is it
Speaker 1: the wind that's cold? I don't know. Well, um, as
Speaker 1: as long as we're all telling truths, um des he,
Speaker 1: we all knew you couldn't do the weather. What did
Speaker 1: you say to me, bitch? Nothing? Nothing? Doesn't like to
Speaker 1: thank you for the weather. There's from plastic whoever. I
Speaker 1: appreciate your so much. All Right, when we come back,
Speaker 1: Bluest Black, it's gonna chose young people who are faking
Speaker 1: being old. So don't go away. Welcome back to the
Speaker 1: Data Show. When a new story falls through the cracks,
Speaker 1: Lewis Black catches it for a segment we call back
Speaker 1: in Black as a man in the entertainment industry. I
Speaker 1: do everything I can to cling to youth like a
Speaker 1: sixty year old Tom Cruise clinging to the side of
Speaker 1: a helicopter. Oh and don't tell the casting people at
Speaker 1: Euphoria that I'm not actually in my early twenties. I'm
Speaker 1: up for a juicy role. Is Zenda's little brother who
Speaker 1: wish me lucked? But lately I've been noticing a new trend.
Speaker 1: Young people are starting to act like older people. It's subtle,
Speaker 1: but once you notice it, you start seeing it every where,
Speaker 1: especially if you're a dinner at four PM. It's the
Speaker 1: early bird special for young folks. The elderly have long
Speaker 1: been the butt of jokes about early bird dining, but
Speaker 1: now a younger generation is embracing the early bird special.
Speaker 1: The busier times used to start at eight p m.
Speaker 1: But nowadays it's definitely starts on the earlier side. A
Speaker 1: pizza joint in Lower Manhattan is also booking tables earlier
Speaker 1: and earlier. Just look at all these early bird reservations.
Speaker 1: With so many people working from home during the pandemic,
Speaker 1: employees are eager to get out of their homes as
Speaker 1: soon as the workday ends, which is definitely contributing to
Speaker 1: the shift. Are you shipping me young people stealing all
Speaker 1: the early bird reservations? Seniors need those spots. They have
Speaker 1: to be in bed by seven thirty or else all
Speaker 1: their organs slide into their ankles. This has to end, though,
Speaker 1: old people eating early as part of the social contract.
Speaker 1: Old people get the early restaurant spots and exchange. Young
Speaker 1: people get to not watch old people eat. It's about privacy.
Speaker 1: All people don't walk into your bedroom and watch you
Speaker 1: have energetic, robust sex. They watched through the window because
Speaker 1: they respect boundaries. And it's one thing for young people
Speaker 1: to claim seniors restaurant reservations, but now they're claiming something
Speaker 1: even more sacred, the discounts. One surprising trend now among
Speaker 1: young people signing up for benefits from the A A
Speaker 1: r P. The Wall Street Journal finding twentysomethings as new
Speaker 1: card carriers in an effort to snag discounts a mid inflation,
Speaker 1: showing it's not just for the fifty and older crowd.
Speaker 1: In my head, it was always something for senior citizens.
Speaker 1: Year old Marissa schwartzays she la a lot about a
Speaker 1: a ARP benefits through TikTok and couldn't help but join
Speaker 1: in on the savings. Contrary to popular belief, you can
Speaker 1: be any age to join a ARP and the benefits
Speaker 1: are awesome packed the ball. Old people earn those A
Speaker 1: RP membership those A RP memberships fair and square by
Speaker 1: not dying, and a bad economy is no excuse. Did
Speaker 1: I worn in on a senior citizen discount and get
Speaker 1: me through the Great Depression? No? Because I wasn't alive
Speaker 1: during the Great Depression? Uss Holes, How old do you
Speaker 1: think I am? You're gonna blow my shot at euphoria.
Speaker 1: I just hope these under age A RP members don't
Speaker 1: find out the secret perks of the card. I don't
Speaker 1: want to break egg, but I can shoplift as much
Speaker 1: as I want. And if I get caught, I flashed
Speaker 1: this and they assume I'm just senile and let me go.
Speaker 1: You thought I was a deranged man, but now I've
Speaker 1: got a free giant bag of bird seed, suckers. I
Speaker 1: don't even have a bird. All that seed is for me.
Speaker 1: Who's the deranged man? Now? But I get it. I
Speaker 1: get it. It's fun to eat early and get discounts
Speaker 1: on Captain's. But there's one there's one aspect of elder
Speaker 1: culture that the youth might want to avoid getting scammed.
Speaker 1: From TikTok to Instagram, Teens are being victimized on everyday apps.
Speaker 1: In fact, a new study finds some tech savvy gen
Speaker 1: z ears are falling for a line scams at a
Speaker 1: higher rate than their grandparents. A study from Social Catfish
Speaker 1: shows the top scams targeting teens or sex stortion plots
Speaker 1: against boys. The FBI says scammers poses attractive women on
Speaker 1: social media and send nude photos to the victim, demanding
Speaker 1: they do the same and send the money. Talent scout
Speaker 1: scams are on the rise. To users on Instagram and
Speaker 1: TikTok received d m s offering modeling and acting opportunities.
Speaker 1: Scammers then asked for a fee to apply, but of
Speaker 1: course there's no talent job inside. Another common scam is
Speaker 1: student loan forgiveness. Scammers are creating fake student loan websites,
Speaker 1: tricking people into providing their bank info. Who's ratter technology,
Speaker 1: now your pimply little but love. It's a guy who
Speaker 1: was only recently a keen boy, a wink uh. I
Speaker 1: sympathize if I had TikTok in my youth. My brain
Speaker 1: would also be a gullible bowl of warny Barridge. But still,
Speaker 1: I'm worried about where this acting older trend could go.
Speaker 1: I mean, what's next stealing all the best rooms at
Speaker 1: the retirement community, over crowded bingo halls, quitting your steady
Speaker 1: job behind a desk before you're even forty? Can you
Speaker 1: even imagine something doing something that crazy? Trevor? Anyway, here's
Speaker 1: something I came up with that will help the kids
Speaker 1: from getting screwed. Take a look. Hi, I'm Louis Black.

Speaker 1: Show my guest tonight as an award winning actor and
Speaker 1: Tony nominated playwright who is currently starring in Black Panther
Speaker 1: Wakanda Forever. Please welcome day, Dana Garria, Welcome back to
Speaker 1: the Daily Show. Thank you. It's amazing to be bad.
Speaker 1: It is amazing to have you here, especially on the
Speaker 1: heels of yet again, one of the most successful films
Speaker 1: to come out. The last I checked Black Panther gross,
Speaker 1: I think it was like three hundred and thirty or
Speaker 1: forty million. Everybody is loving the movie. People are loving
Speaker 1: you in the movie. I just watched it a few
Speaker 1: days ago, and I know I'm biased because you're sitting
Speaker 1: here with me. But I think you had some of
Speaker 1: the funniest lines in the film. I also think you
Speaker 1: have some of the baddest, like like amazing fight scenes
Speaker 1: and choreography. How does it feel Because this was such
Speaker 1: a long project, there were so many ups and downs,
Speaker 1: There was a pandemic, there was the unfortunate loss of Chadwick.
Speaker 1: Everything came together to create this moment. Have you taken
Speaker 1: a moment to process it all? Thank you? Not yet?
Speaker 1: Not yet, I'm getting there, but um, you know, it
Speaker 1: has been an amazing journey and and the tremendous one
Speaker 1: and a painful one and an intense one. Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: starting from the beginning when we you know, tragically lost
Speaker 1: our brother and our king, our leader, Chadwick, and so
Speaker 1: really coming back was all about honoring him. So really
Speaker 1: it was like Ryan always mentions the line my character says,
Speaker 1: which is, you know I gave, I gave everything like that.
Speaker 1: Basically we came back with that like it was just
Speaker 1: about giving all we had to and honoring him. And
Speaker 1: so to have it, um come to a place where
Speaker 1: people are enjoying it this much and and responding to
Speaker 1: it this well, I mean, it just it just feels
Speaker 1: it feels very full circle in the sense that the
Speaker 1: goal was to honor him and the way Ryan beautifully
Speaker 1: arctd to be something that honored him, um, which involves
Speaker 1: I think something that I think he would love, which
Speaker 1: is that it is a full experience as well. It
Speaker 1: really walk through our grief with it. Is it really is.
Speaker 1: I I noticed people crying in the cinema. Obviously people
Speaker 1: were cheering, people were laughing. But it reminded you of
Speaker 1: what you want movies to be, you know, an experience,
Speaker 1: and it was it was. It was an authentic experience.
Speaker 1: I I enjoyed seeing how both the audience and then
Speaker 1: I felt like the cost had an experience of cathosis
Speaker 1: that everyone everyone got to say goodbye in a different way.
Speaker 1: Everyone got to go through that. You know, when you
Speaker 1: when you look at this journey and where it's come,
Speaker 1: look at how Black Panther has reshaped how we see superheroes.
Speaker 1: People have talked about how diversity has never been the
Speaker 1: same on screen. You know, this is the first woman
Speaker 1: black lead film that Marvel has ever put out, and
Speaker 1: it's crushing it. People are loving it. It's it's it's huge,
Speaker 1: it's momentous. Yeah, I mean that's just been so much
Speaker 1: to hear because I mean it is really something I
Speaker 1: grew up. You know. The other big thing is that
Speaker 1: it's also African and and like I grew up next
Speaker 1: door to you in Zimbabwe and it's not too painful
Speaker 1: to the year are close up, but you know, I appreciate.
Speaker 1: I think I always love with Ryan Coogler is the director.
Speaker 1: I say, like, you chose one of the hardest languages
Speaker 1: to just like Cossa. It's like, first of all, it's
Speaker 1: an African language, but it's like, what if we added
Speaker 1: clicks into it as well? And I think the cost
Speaker 1: does really well, not just with the passa, but I
Speaker 1: mean you've got some some like you could take Mayan
Speaker 1: in the movie, and that's that's what makes us. I'm
Speaker 1: not going to spoil the plot for anyone, so if
Speaker 1: there's gaps, I'm doing that on purpose. But you have
Speaker 1: a movie that now isn't just talking about the African
Speaker 1: diaspora around the world. You're also you're also in this
Speaker 1: conversation about where we've come from, as people's in South
Speaker 1: America and Central America, and it's all coming together in
Speaker 1: a really gripping way. Well, the beauty of it is
Speaker 1: like that aspect of that shared conversation that Africa could
Speaker 1: have with that part of the world, which is we
Speaker 1: were both we both went through a lot of imperialism,
Speaker 1: we both went through colonization, we both lost indigenous cultures,
Speaker 1: lost a lot through that very you know, wretched process.
Speaker 1: And so it's actually this reclaiming that we're getting to
Speaker 1: see these two cultures mirror each other as they do
Speaker 1: that well Wakanda has kept it and protected it, and
Speaker 1: then and so has that have so have the Talkmill.
Speaker 1: So it's this beautiful kind of reflection on each other,
Speaker 1: which I just think is kind of unprecedended and really
Speaker 1: really exciting. I think your character shines. Some of my
Speaker 1: favorite lines genuinely in the movie are yours, because here's
Speaker 1: the thing. We met you as this badass on screen,
Speaker 1: kicking ass running. You know. I always said, do you
Speaker 1: know how bad as you have to be to be
Speaker 1: the bodyguards for the Black Panther? Do you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? That scene of in the casino, that first
Speaker 1: fight scene where everyone's just like, who are you and
Speaker 1: what are you doing? And your character comes back. The
Speaker 1: fight scenes are even more intense, you know, there's parts
Speaker 1: where you're fighting in the water and then you're you're
Speaker 1: not were you actually doing that? By the way, yes,
Speaker 1: I have a little bit of a torn muscle in
Speaker 1: my shoulder to prove it. But it's it's all good
Speaker 1: now it's healed. It's healed. So you don't like water
Speaker 1: fight scenes and yeah, and the scene well my character, Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is the key thing that, um you know, the
Speaker 1: stuff on the bridge, all that stuff. Yeah, I had
Speaker 1: to because there's no way I could. To me, it's like,
Speaker 1: how do I do the role if I'm not doing
Speaker 1: the role. She's a warrior. And like I was coming
Speaker 1: from from Walking Dead as well, so I was used
Speaker 1: to In Walking Dead it was just like get out
Speaker 1: there and do it. Go be somebody, you know, it
Speaker 1: was like get it done. So like I was used
Speaker 1: to just getting out there and just getting it done
Speaker 1: like I And that's and and really acquainting myself with
Speaker 1: the weapon. And we did that so hard in the
Speaker 1: first one, so in the second one there was no exception.
Speaker 1: I had to do my fights. I had to learn
Speaker 1: my fights, and yeah, it was it's a it's a
Speaker 1: lot of work. It's um, there's there's no way around
Speaker 1: the work. But to me, that's actually how you become
Speaker 1: the character. You can't become a Koy outside of how
Speaker 1: she knows how to fight, and you have to keep
Speaker 1: doing it a part of who she is. It needs
Speaker 1: to be a part of who you are, Like I
Speaker 1: had to I had to win. That was my thing,
Speaker 1: Like I could not win. The general accoa this is
Speaker 1: you Oh crap, you might be right, yeah, this is
Speaker 1: this is because we see your character on this journey
Speaker 1: and again I won't spoil it, but what we see
Speaker 1: is your on your on your character's journey, is her
Speaker 1: grappling with the idea that she's not in control, her
Speaker 1: grappling with the idea that she cannot protect everybody, including herself,
Speaker 1: Her grappling with the with the idea of failure, which
Speaker 1: is such a personal experience, you know, for anybody to share,
Speaker 1: first of all, but it's also vulnerable to have is
Speaker 1: to go, yeah, I I am not what everybody needed
Speaker 1: me to be. And you felt that pain in your character?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that and that That's what I loved about
Speaker 1: how Ryan like bifurcated the grief process in different characters.
Speaker 1: And my character she just doesn't really take care of
Speaker 1: herself that way. So to actually to have to get
Speaker 1: confronted with it that way was the only way she
Speaker 1: was really going to be because she is so I
Speaker 1: have to take care of everybody else. I have to
Speaker 1: make sure this. You know, she's got the country on
Speaker 1: her shoulders. I've got to keep it protected and secure.
Speaker 1: I gotta keep this family protected and secure that she
Speaker 1: feels she's a part of UM. So the lines are
Speaker 1: all blurred between you know, her job and her personal
Speaker 1: experiences of losing her brother and and taking care of
Speaker 1: his family. So yeah, it is definitely that sort of
Speaker 1: aspect of not being able to UM to to hold
Speaker 1: everything down and not being able to process her pain
Speaker 1: and her grief for herself. Can I just say, on
