Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central. It really is a complicated legacy,
Speaker 1: you know. I know everybody wants to try or many
Speaker 1: people want to try and distill it down into one idea,
Speaker 1: one moment, one feeling. But I think it's far more
Speaker 1: complicated than that. I have some members of my family
Speaker 1: in South Africa who are like sad, and I was like,
Speaker 1: but you know, it's why why are you sad? And
Speaker 1: it's interesting because I think for some people the queen
Speaker 1: symbolized something and someone, you know, it could be anything
Speaker 1: that she could have symbolized, you know, a world that
Speaker 1: was moving in a certain direction. For some people, she
Speaker 1: symbolized a woman being in power, which you know wasn't inspiring.
Speaker 1: And then obviously for other people she inspired colonized, you know,
Speaker 1: she she fokes those of colonization. She makes people think
Speaker 1: of the worst of the British Empire. It's it's complicated,
Speaker 1: it's nuanced. It's interesting because um my grand passed away
Speaker 1: earlier this year and at the time my mom said
Speaker 1: she was shocked, and I was like, well, but we
Speaker 1: we knew Gobo was getting old. And she's like yeah,
Speaker 1: And my mom says, some of the strangest things to
Speaker 1: me ever, and so my mom says to me without
Speaker 1: even betting and iland nothing. My mom goes she's like yeah,
Speaker 1: but she's like I was so I was so shocked.
Speaker 1: But because she's like, because I thought that as long
Speaker 1: as the Queen is alive, your grand will be alive.
Speaker 1: I was like, I was like, what is it like
Speaker 1: Harry Potter and Baldemort what is like, what is this? No?
Speaker 1: And she's like no, because they were born at the
Speaker 1: same year and they're the same age. And she's like,
Speaker 1: I'm just shocked. I'm shocked. And she's like, I guess
Speaker 1: the queen. The Queen is stronger, but I I thought
Speaker 1: I thought they would they would both go at the
Speaker 1: same time. And when today the news came out and
Speaker 1: then I messaged my mom and I was like, I
Speaker 1: was like, wow, I guess you were right. And she's like,
Speaker 1: what are you talking about? And I said the Queen
Speaker 1: and she's like she's gone, and I was like yeah.
Speaker 1: She's like I told you, but not even like laughing anything.
Speaker 1: She's just like I told I told, I told you.
Speaker 1: I knew it's I knew it. I knew it. She's
Speaker 1: like she's like their sisters in heaven. They'll go be
Speaker 1: just doesn't happen. What a strange relationship you think, My
Speaker 1: grandhasard the Queen. Watch the Daily Show weeknights at leven
