Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central, Yeah, you know, we're watching.
Speaker 2: So we're watching this story about the Toy Hall of Fame,
Speaker 2: which is in Rochester, and we're seeing like all the
Speaker 2: toys that are being inducted, and so everyone in the
Speaker 2: office starts talking about their favorite toys growing up. Right,
Speaker 2: So some people are like, oh, yeah, no, for me,
Speaker 2: it was shoots and ladders, and for me it was
Speaker 2: the sled, and for me it was this was that.
Speaker 2: And then the people like, what was your favorite favorite
Speaker 2: toy growing up? And I was like, genuinely, my favorite
Speaker 2: toy growing up was a brick, all right, which sounds crazy,
Speaker 2: but Spinny, why do you walk away like I'm a crazy,
Speaker 2: Like you literally walk away like I'm saying the wildest thing. No,
Speaker 2: because we So what happened was no we had when
Speaker 2: we were growing up, Like I'd live at my grand's
Speaker 2: house in Soeto, and then what happens is a lot
Speaker 2: of kids didn't have toys.
Speaker 1: But it wasn't like a sad thing like oh I
Speaker 1: don't have toys. We just like, we play with whatever
Speaker 1: we find.
Speaker 2: And so the most popular thing little boys would play
Speaker 2: it was bricks, and you're brick was you play with
Speaker 2: it like a toy car, so you'd like walk around
Speaker 2: the neighborhood searching for the best brick. Right, because the
Speaker 2: game you would play, we didn't put wheels on anything,
Speaker 2: like someone asked me, then, officer, because you put wheels
Speaker 2: on it.
Speaker 1: No, there's no wheels. We're gonna find wheels. If we wheels,
Speaker 1: we wouldn't have these problems. So we just took bricks.
Speaker 2: So you would find bricks and then the game you'd
Speaker 2: play is you'd like drive around in the dirt with
Speaker 2: your brick car and then you would smash into the
Speaker 2: other boys bricks and then if your brick was the
Speaker 2: last brick.
Speaker 1: Standing, you won the game. So like all of us,
Speaker 1: it was like a mission.
Speaker 3: You're like, man, I gotta find bricks. Like you just
Speaker 3: like walk around the whole day, just like searching for bricks.
Speaker 3: And there's just one brick that we had called the
Speaker 3: face brick, right. It was basically like a really beautiful
Speaker 3: brick that you can you know, bricks that you don't
Speaker 3: plaster over. You just have that at the face of
Speaker 3: your house. That's what we call the face brick, right,
Speaker 3: And so that was like the dream brick. It was
Speaker 3: the most expensive brick though, like you couldn't.
Speaker 1: You could find everyone.
Speaker 2: With like the gray bricks and like the like the
Speaker 2: dark black bricks and like all those but those bricks breke.
Speaker 1: You come with a face brick, someone would like everyone
Speaker 1: would see you, like you'd pitch up. You'd be like
Speaker 1: a pimp rolling up in a Rolls Royce fantom, like
Speaker 1: Jen you.
Speaker 3: I remember like one day I found the face brick
Speaker 3: and like you, I.
Speaker 1: Got there with like old other kids are like meme,
Speaker 1: move meme.
Speaker 2: I'm like got there like all swagged and then like oh, Trevor,
Speaker 2: are you playing?
Speaker 1: Are you playing? And then I was like yeah, I'll
Speaker 1: pull my brick out from behind my back.
Speaker 3: And they're like, oh, face break, face break, and then
Speaker 3: it's like yeah, yeah, it's been a face brick, face brick,
Speaker 3: and it's like let's go. And then you drive and
Speaker 3: then like everyone rams in and I'll be like you
Speaker 3: guys ram me first.
Speaker 1: I'll I'll just chill and I'm gonna tries to ram
Speaker 1: your brick.
Speaker 2: Because the face brick it's like compact, it doesn't crack,
Speaker 2: and like everyone's bricks cracking. Half people are devastated, like
Speaker 2: you see like kids smash their break and the brick
Speaker 2: cracks dead in the middle, like ah, brief in that side. Miss,
Speaker 2: It's like a big thing, and then you like play
Speaker 2: and you take the brick. And it was such a
Speaker 2: popular thing that you had to be careful if you
Speaker 2: lived in the townships because kids would steal bricks from
Speaker 2: outside your house if you were doing renovations. So if
Speaker 2: you weren't careful, you would have like all your bricks
Speaker 2: outside because you're like, oh, I'm gonna build a wall.
Speaker 1: And then like the next day you would come there
Speaker 1: and you'd be like, where the fuck are my bricks,
Speaker 1: and like all the bricks.
Speaker 3: Were gone, and then it's just like kids driving around like.
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, those are my bricks. I don't know
Speaker 1: what you're talking about. Man, this is my favorite toy.
Speaker 1: This makes you really like you just you can just
Speaker 1: have fun with anything.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: I was like, that's genuinely my favorite.
Speaker 2: Even now, when I see bricks, I get, like I said,
Speaker 2: I'm such a friend. That's the one thing I don't
Speaker 2: like about living in New York. You don't see bricks often,
Speaker 2: like like just loose bricks hanging around.
Speaker 1: You take that for granted. I woke around. I'm like, man,
Speaker 1: no bricks, no bricks, SnO bricks, no bricks.
Speaker 3: And if I see a brick, there's a thing in
Speaker 3: me still till this day that wants to.
Speaker 2: Take the brick, and I have to stop myself being like,
Speaker 2: you're the host of the Daily Show.
Speaker 3: You can buy all the bricks you want, and it's like, yeah,
Speaker 3: but take that brick, Trevor, come on, you know you
Speaker 3: want to and always think it.
Speaker 1: Man, if TMZ caught me.

Speaker 2: and then I'd.
Speaker 1: Be trying to explain it. No, it's a car.
Speaker 3: No it's not is Trevor no on drugs, no weights,
Speaker 3: it's so strong.
Speaker 1: What were you doing, Trevor. That's what's you guys.
Speaker 2: You should let down from bull the wall and then
Speaker 2: just bring like all the South African kids overnight.
Speaker 1: I was just like stake.
Speaker 2: So in my grandmother's house, we didn't have a tap
Speaker 2: in the house. We had one tap shared amongst four houses,
Speaker 2: and that seemed like cool compared to my cousins because
Speaker 2: in the villagers they had one.
Speaker 1: Tap, which is like a mile away.
Speaker 2: So I'd go to my cousins visit them for the
Speaker 2: for the holidays, and then I would like my cousin
Speaker 2: would wake me up at like five am. I'll be like,
Speaker 2: do what are you doing. He's like, we gotta go
Speaker 2: get water, and I'm like what. And then you get
Speaker 2: the wheelbarrow and then you go. And it's fun when
Speaker 2: you're on the way there because you're like, this is fun.
Speaker 2: You got your wheelbarrow and your rolling and then you
Speaker 2: fill them. You forget that you have to fill them
Speaker 2: up with water.
Speaker 1: These giant, giant, giant drums of water. And then you
Speaker 1: bring them back and you're like fuck. Like the whole time,
Speaker 1: you're just like, I don't need water. I don't need water.
Speaker 2: I don't like one day, I too, because my cousin
Speaker 2: was shredded, like just because of that.
Speaker 1: Every single day was him just lifting a barrel.
Speaker 2: It's like four hundred pounds on a wheelbarrow, just pushing
Speaker 2: that every single day.
Speaker 1: And then one day I remember, I was like I
Speaker 1: can do this, and I took it and then I
Speaker 1: was like whoa and then all the water gone, just
Speaker 1: like all of it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And then I was like, well, well you shouldn't
Speaker 2: have let me take the wheelbarrow.
Speaker 1: I just pulled the bend cast and I was like,
Speaker 1: that was your bad.
Speaker 2: Did I know my life would turn out like this
Speaker 2: since I was a kid, Yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember
Speaker 2: when I was like four years old and then there
Speaker 2: was like this little kid who like pushed me to
Speaker 2: the ground. And then I was like, one day I'm
Speaker 2: gonna be host of the Daily Show. No, I get
Speaker 2: what you're saying, and I'm joking. Obviously I'm in facetious. No,
Speaker 2: I had no clue, nor did I wish for that.
Speaker 2: I'll be honest with you, like I was. I still
Speaker 2: joke with my mom about that till this day.
Speaker 1: I go.
Speaker 2: I did not know where life would take me or
Speaker 2: how life would end up. All I knew is that
Speaker 2: I wanted to be able to afford to buy as
Speaker 2: much food as I wanted to buy, like at any time,
Speaker 2: that was like the big thing in my life because
Speaker 2: like when you don't have money in a family, like
Speaker 2: the food decision is the biggest decision you can make.
Speaker 2: So like, let me put it this way, we would
Speaker 2: go out for like takeout maybe once a month if
Speaker 2: we were lucky. And I remember the pressure that I
Speaker 2: was under because you get the menu and then they'd
Speaker 2: be like.
Speaker 1: Do you want a burger? Oh, do you want pizza all?
Speaker 1: And I was just like, ah, don't mess zob, don't
Speaker 1: mess de zab.
Speaker 2: It was such a big decision. And I remember one
Speaker 2: day I said to my mom. I was like, one
Speaker 2: day I'm gonna be rich enough to buy two. And
Speaker 2: then my mom could have been like shut up, kid,
Speaker 2: but she was like, yeah, you will be rich enough.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And I was like, and I'll buy dessert. She's like,
Speaker 2: you go buy all the dessert, all of the dessert.
Speaker 2: And so then now my mom was like, do you
Speaker 2: did you buy the dessert? Did and it's your point
Speaker 2: of my time? And she like, looks like you bought
Speaker 2: the dessert in Africa. Like so, my mom she would
Speaker 2: let me watch like a sex scene in a movie.
Speaker 2: She would be like, I don't care about that, but
Speaker 2: if kids were playing with food, she'd make me.
Speaker 1: Turn the movie off.
Speaker 2: So whenever, So then whenever it was like I used
Speaker 2: to watch those high school movies, those American movies, and
Speaker 2: then you know, there'd always be a food fights in
Speaker 2: the cafeteria.
Speaker 1: Then Mama would be like, turn it off, turn it off.
Speaker 1: And then I'll be like, what do you mean. She's like,
Speaker 1: why they're wasting food. Then I was like it's a movie.
Speaker 1: She's like, but it's real food. It's real food, it's
Speaker 1: real food. How can you.
Speaker 2: Waste food like that? And then I was like like, look,
Speaker 2: it's like my mom was going, you know you like
Speaker 2: parents would go their children stopping. My mom was like,
Speaker 2: we are stopping in Africa, We're stopping.
Speaker 1: Why they're wasting food.
Speaker 2: The first time I remember hearing a joke as a
Speaker 2: child was actually I was with my grandfather and we
Speaker 2: were at a protest in the streets.
Speaker 1: In South Africa. And I don't know what the protest
Speaker 1: was for.
Speaker 2: I'm assuming it was anti apartheids or whatever, but I
Speaker 2: was very young and I was with my grandfather walking
Speaker 2: marching through the streets and a policeman came by on
Speaker 2: a horse and like policemen on horses is like you like,
Speaker 2: no one is comfortable, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Like just generally as black people.
Speaker 2: Were never like, hey, hey, he's going to do the thing. No,
Speaker 2: you're terrified at least me on the horse. And and
Speaker 2: this guy was like trying to move the crowd.
Speaker 1: Along, moved and he's like, move, move, bloody hell, move move.
Speaker 1: And he got to my grandfather and then my grandfather
Speaker 1: turned to and the guy looked. He's like, hey, why
Speaker 1: an't you moving? And my grandfather turned to him and
Speaker 1: he said, he said.
Speaker 2: Muster, Muster, can I ask you a question?
Speaker 1: And this guy was like what what? What did you say?
Speaker 1: He said, can I ask you a question? Master? And
Speaker 1: he was like and then he asked him a question.
Speaker 2: And to give you the context, that weekend, the previous weekend,
Speaker 2: the there was an hour version of the Kentucky Derby
Speaker 2: took place, and then the winning horse was celebrated and
Speaker 2: the president went and gave a kiss to the to
Speaker 2: the horse that won, I kissed and it was like
Speaker 2: on the front page of the newspaper, the president kissing
Speaker 2: the horse. And so then so that's the context. So
Speaker 2: my grandfather turns to the company.
Speaker 1: He's like, can I ask you a question? And the
Speaker 1: company's like what what do you want?
Speaker 2: And he says, muster, why is it that your president
Speaker 2: can kiss a horse but he won't.
Speaker 1: Kiss my sister? And like you could see, the cop
Speaker 1: was just like he was like what and he's like what,
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 3: Know, and I was like, And then my grandfather turned
Speaker 3: to me and he's like, because you haven't seen my
Speaker 3: sister e And I'll never forget the policeman's face, like
Speaker 3: he burst into tears laugh because he.
Speaker 1: Was like, well, and then he just started laughing at
Speaker 1: my grandfather's laughing.
Speaker 2: And I'd never seen two things. I had never seen
Speaker 2: like a policeman laughing.
Speaker 1: With black people ever before.
Speaker 2: It was my first time seeing that, and it was
Speaker 2: just my first time seeing like how a joke could
Speaker 2: diffuse tension, how you know what I mean? And then
Speaker 2: I just remember growing up. I was like, oh, I
Speaker 2: want to do that thing. I want to yeah, I
Speaker 2: want to.
Speaker 1: Do that thing.
Speaker 2: More diapers. I hate changing diapers. I don't have kids, well,
Speaker 2: I just hate changing diapers. Actually younger brothers, so I
Speaker 2: changed their diapers when I was growing up. And then
Speaker 2: at some point with my youngest brother twenty years younger
Speaker 2: than me, I was just like, you just you're gonna
Speaker 2: keep shitting, so just don't wear pants. And I was like,
Speaker 2: it's easier to poop a scoop this person than it
Speaker 2: is like. So then my little brother would just come
Speaker 2: I teach him.
Speaker 1: The thing was he just come running up to me,
Speaker 1: and then he'd be like Trevor, pooh pooh.
Speaker 3: And then I'd be like all right, and then we
Speaker 3: just run outside and then i'd make him shit in
Speaker 3: the garden like I would.
Speaker 1: I would like fold him.
Speaker 2: I would hold his legs and his body and then
Speaker 2: like I would hold him like this, and then he'd
Speaker 2: like he'd like a little turtle in my hands.
Speaker 1: And then i would hold him.
Speaker 3: And then he would ship and then he'd be like dojoos,
Speaker 3: do doos, and I'll be like finished.
Speaker 1: Then he's like dojoos. Then I'm like, all right, cool man.
Speaker 1: I'll shake him a little bit and then I'll take him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then I'll take him.
Speaker 3: And instand and the and then i would spray him
Speaker 3: down with a hose pipe so take him.
Speaker 1: And he loved it. He wasn't.
Speaker 3: He was like, this is the greatest experience ever. And
Speaker 3: then I'd be like, just don't tell mom what we're doing.
Speaker 3: And then he'd always tell mom.
Speaker 1: You know, it's be like a mommy. Trevor sprayed me with.
Speaker 3: Those vibe Then I'm like, Jesus, kid, you're killing me here.
Speaker 1: He would love it.
Speaker 3: It was like a fun and then I remember like
Speaker 3: one of the funniest things, like like a year or
Speaker 3: something later, we're sitting together watching TV and we're watching
Speaker 3: footage of police spraying people with like a like like protesters.
Speaker 1: With the water hoss. And then he looks at me
Speaker 1: like I did they do do?
Speaker 3: Like like no, no.
Speaker 2: So in my family, my two younger brothers are so
Speaker 2: from my mother's second marriage, and so I'm still the
Speaker 2: only person in my family looks like this. So my
Speaker 2: mom is African woman, black passa woman. My father's Swiss
Speaker 2: from Switzerland, so he was a white man, and so.
Speaker 1: I look like this. And then my mom remarried a
Speaker 1: black man.
Speaker 2: So my brothers don't look like me either, right, And
Speaker 2: I remember what was really beautiful was my brothers. We
Speaker 2: always spoke about this stuff. So my parents they were
Speaker 2: like yeah, different dads, we get how this works. So
Speaker 2: my brother one day, I pick him up from school. Right,
Speaker 2: he's like he's really young at the times, maybe like
Speaker 2: try I think it was the nineties, maybe ten years old,
Speaker 2: and he gets in the car and he's like just deflated.
Speaker 2: He gets in the has your seat and he fastens
Speaker 2: his seat belts, and I'm like, what's going on? Isaac, and
Speaker 2: he's like, hey, Trevor. He's like, oh, kids, man, I
Speaker 2: can't do this kids.
Speaker 1: So I go, kids, tell me more. And then he's like,
Speaker 1: I just I just don't know what to do with kids, Trevor.
Speaker 2: You know, like today one of my friends said, oh,
Speaker 2: are we walking home? Then I said, no, my brother's
Speaker 2: picking me up. Then he said, ah, who's your brother?
Speaker 1: Then I said, Trevor.
Speaker 2: Then now when we're walking, he sees you in the cart.
Speaker 1: Then he says who's that? Then I say it's my brother.
Speaker 2: Then he says, ah, but how can your brother? How
Speaker 2: can your brother be white? Then I said he's not white,
Speaker 2: he's not white, he's mixed. Then he said, but you're
Speaker 2: not mixed. You don't look the same. How can your
Speaker 2: brother not look the same. Then so now I'm like, oh, man,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to like go through this. So then
Speaker 2: I'm like, so, so, what did you say to him?
Speaker 2: He's like, oh, Trevor, like.
Speaker 1: I'd have to explain it the way kids understand, he said.
Speaker 2: I just said to him, I said, Zueally, you gotta
Speaker 2: understand like people are like chocolates, okay, like like you
Speaker 2: can have like a white chocolate, and you can have
Speaker 2: a dut chocolate and you can.
Speaker 1: Have a milk chocolate, but it's all nestle.
Speaker 4: Okay, any questions, O, You're good?
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, house, Oh how's Foofy?
Speaker 1: Wow? That's a deep cut man. You can just ask
Speaker 1: me that, like just random.
Speaker 2: You gotta be like, hey, Trevor, so I read in
Speaker 2: your book and you can just be like, how's foofy?
Speaker 1: Because my mind knew who the hell no, because because
Speaker 1: Foofye died, so for those of them.
Speaker 2: So I had a I had a dog when I
Speaker 2: was growing up, like one of the dogs we had.
Speaker 1: We my mom was working.
Speaker 2: At a at a pharmaceutical company and her colleague came
Speaker 2: came to work one there was like, hey, my neighbour's dog.
Speaker 1: Impregnated my dogs.
Speaker 2: And I have all these puppies that don't want and
Speaker 2: they're like this weird mix of like a bull terrier
Speaker 2: and a Maltese poodle.
Speaker 1: So do you want to take them? And them was like,
Speaker 1: all right, I'll take two.
Speaker 2: And then my mom brought them home and I'd never
Speaker 2: had a dog before, and I was like, this is
Speaker 2: the most amazing thing in the world. And so we
Speaker 2: raised them and it was two beautiful dogs. They looked
Speaker 2: completely different, but they were sisters. They were the best
Speaker 2: Foofie and Panther, and my mom called the one panther
Speaker 2: because she had a pink nose or the pink panther
Speaker 2: and then uh, and Fufi was like the dumbest, most
Speaker 2: beautiful dog ever and Panther was the smartest, ugliest dog
Speaker 2: you've ever seen. And so like, like I loved Fufi
Speaker 2: the most because she just like looked really vicious, and
Speaker 2: I used to think that Fufi was really stupid.
Speaker 1: And then one day what happened was.
Speaker 2: Like at our house, somebody was trying to like come
Speaker 2: into the house like a family friend, and they were
Speaker 2: trying to open the gate and then they moved the
Speaker 2: gate and then the gate fell and then Panther.
Speaker 1: Ran away because they liked to sleep by the gate.
Speaker 2: And then Panther ran but then Fofie didn't, and then
Speaker 2: the gate hit her and then like it broke her spine.
Speaker 1: It was devastating.
Speaker 2: So then we went to the vet and then like
Speaker 2: the vet was like I can't help her, you know,
Speaker 2: we got to put it down, put out of a misery.
Speaker 1: And it was like but this was amazing. How were
Speaker 1: you guys? Like, how did you guys raise a deaf dog?
Speaker 1: And we were like what and he was like, we're
Speaker 1: like what do you mean a deaf dog? And he
Speaker 1: was like oh.
Speaker 2: Like afterwards, like I just when I was just going
Speaker 2: through examining her or she's still like living, I realized
Speaker 2: that that she wasn't born with I guess a certain
Speaker 2: part of the cocklear or something is We're like, wait,
Speaker 2: this dog was deaf the whole time, and we just
Speaker 2: genuinely I literally just be like, foofee, set listen to me,
Speaker 2: sick Foofee.
Speaker 5: I was like, you're so dumb, You're so dumb.
Speaker 1: And I never knew that the dog.
Speaker 2: And then we realized what used to happen was when
Speaker 2: we'd call the dogs, we'd be like foofee panther and
Speaker 2: Foofee would never come, but Panther would come running sometimes
Speaker 2: and then she'd like look at you, and then she'd
Speaker 2: run back, and then they would both come.
Speaker 1: And I always used to be like, Foofee's just.
Speaker 2: Dumb, And then I realized Panther was like, ah, she
Speaker 2: didn't hear, and then she'd go back and fetch her
Speaker 2: and then she would then both of them would come
Speaker 2: and then like now I went back and was like.
Speaker 1: I missed you with me. So that's how Foofe's doing.
Speaker 1: She's yeah, what happened to Teddy?
Speaker 2: From my book What's Funny is randomly, one day I
Speaker 2: was I was driving to a car dealership. I had
Speaker 2: bought an Audi and I went to the car dealership
Speaker 2: because I needed them to help me with something, and
Speaker 2: they said, we will.
Speaker 1: We'll call our top.
Speaker 2: Mechanic and just give you a bit of a backstory.
Speaker 2: Teddy was my best friend in primary school and him
Speaker 2: and I used to.
Speaker 1: Go shoplifting together.
Speaker 2: And then one day like we were like busted shoplifting
Speaker 2: and then we ran away and then they caught Teddy,
Speaker 2: but then they didn't catch me, And then they got
Speaker 2: they had security footage of what happened, and they went
Speaker 2: to all the schools in the area looking for who
Speaker 2: was shoplifting with Teddy, and then they didn't know it
Speaker 2: was me because the security camera was black and white.
Speaker 1: It was like the old school black and white cameras.
Speaker 2: And so they were like, we're looking for a white
Speaker 2: kid because on the camera it just in black and white.
Speaker 2: It chose the camera shows white. So then at the
Speaker 2: school they me. They were like, Trevor coming here. They're like,
Speaker 2: you're friends with Teddy.
Speaker 1: I was like, uh.
Speaker 2: Huh, and they're like, well, Teddy was court shoplifting.
Speaker 1: I was like, uh huh. They're like there was someone
Speaker 1: with him. I was like, uh huh. They're like it
Speaker 1: was a white kid. Who was he. I was like ah.
Speaker 1: And then they just never caught me.
Speaker 2: And then Teddy never snitched or anything, and I'm like,
Speaker 2: and then but he got expelled from the school, and
Speaker 2: then I thought like he went to jail or something.
Speaker 2: So and I never I never knew why he ended
Speaker 2: up in life. Ten years later maybe even more, I was, yeah,
Speaker 2: I had an Audi. Drove to an Audi dealership because
Speaker 2: they wanted to help me with something. And I pulled
Speaker 2: in and I said, can you help me? They said, oh,
Speaker 2: this is complicated. Let's call out a top technician mechanic.
Speaker 2: And then they called the guy and they're like, see, oh,
Speaker 2: come out, and then he came out, and then it
Speaker 2: was Teddy.
Speaker 5: And I was like, Tedy, Teddy, Teddy, and I yeah, so.
Speaker 1: That's what happened to Teddy. All right, let's do this.
Speaker 2: I was there and He was just like, what are
Speaker 2: you crying about there? I was like, dude, we're stealing
Speaker 2: chocolate bars. Why would you be thinking? Why do you
Speaker 2: think I go to another uented day by life?
Speaker 1: It's funny.
Speaker 2: In South Africa, we have a saying and you must
Speaker 2: remember because of so many of the struggle leaders in
Speaker 2: South Africa were either imprisoned or exiled. The movement in
Speaker 2: South Africa was held together in large part by women
Speaker 2: in the country. And so it's weird for me because
Speaker 2: I understand, you travel the world, you understand that everywhere
Speaker 2: feminism is different and the idea of women is different.
Speaker 2: But I grew up in a world it was very
Speaker 2: matriarchal and where women were the most dangerous freedom fighters
Speaker 2: that existed.
Speaker 1: This is true.
Speaker 2: You read up on, you read up on Winni Mandela,
Speaker 2: like Nelson Mandela was an icon. But the police in
