Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central.
Speaker 2: From the most trusted journalists. At Comedy Central, It's America's
Speaker 2: only source for news. This is the Daily Journ with
Speaker 2: your host Briny Day.
Speaker 3: Welcome to our Dan the Show. I'm your host, Royan Shang.
Speaker 3: You got so much to talk about tonight. The Federal
Speaker 3: Reserve is flexing Don Trump as a new side hustle,
Speaker 3: and celebrities are telling me who to vote for. Why
Speaker 3: don't you shut up, big bird, Let's get into the headlines.
Speaker 4: That's not the big news.
Speaker 3: If there's one issue that voters say is the most
Speaker 3: important to them in this election, it's the economy. It's
Speaker 3: the top of the list of crime, healthcare, and Haitian
Speaker 3: immigrants a eating my grandmother. Oh wait, sorry, she's just
Speaker 3: outside goddening.
Speaker 4: My bad, my bad.
Speaker 3: But today the Federal Reserve told all the people bitching
Speaker 3: about the economy to shut the fuck up.
Speaker 4: This is CNN breaking news.
Speaker 5: We do have breaking news.
Speaker 6: Just into CNN the Federal Reserve making its announcement on
Speaker 6: interest rate cuts.
Speaker 7: The Fed just delivered its first interest rate cuts since COVID,
Speaker 7: and it is a big one.
Speaker 5: Half a percentage point.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, it's you.
Speaker 3: I assume, Uh, from the way he said it, I mean,
Speaker 3: I guess this is a big deal. A Lowes's interest
Speaker 3: rates mean lower cop payments, Craig cop payments, and of
Speaker 3: course cheaper home loans.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: So you know that house you couldn't afford, Well, a
Speaker 3: half point decrease means that now you can afford a
Speaker 3: bus ticket to drive past it. American dream alive. But
Speaker 3: who cares about a federal reserve?
Speaker 4: What about those of.
Speaker 3: Us outside the system? US rebels so we don't keep
Speaker 3: up money in social constructs like banks, so we don't
Speaker 3: have to pay taxes. Well, you're in luck, my friend,
Speaker 3: because the last real American has just announced the new
Speaker 3: investment opportunity that's gonna make your wallet blow up like
Speaker 3: a hezbollup pager in.
Speaker 7: The crypto space, Donald Trump has officially rolled out World
Speaker 7: Liberty Financial, a crypto adventure that will sell tokens to
Speaker 7: wealthy investors. Or this just one day after an apparent
Speaker 7: assassination attempt on his life.
Speaker 3: Yes, having a near death experience has made Trump focus
Speaker 3: on what truly matters in life, selling crypto and this
Speaker 3: is great news. Donald Trump, the world's most trustworthy businessman,
Speaker 3: is now in crypto the world's most trustworthy business. And
Speaker 3: what could make this deal better than Trump? How about
Speaker 3: more Trumps?
Speaker 5: Also involved in the crypto adventure are Donald Trump's sons
Speaker 5: Donald Trump Junior, Eric Trump, and even eighteen year old
Speaker 5: Baron Trump, whose official title is D five Visionary.
Speaker 3: Oh shit, they got four Trumps now, I mean, forget
Speaker 3: Nepo babies. That's a whole Nepo nursery. Look, I'm one
Speaker 3: hundred percent in this. Okay, shut up and take my money.
Speaker 3: I just have a few questions, like, how does this
Speaker 3: work and what is it?
Speaker 4: So?
Speaker 8: This new Trump backed business called World Liberty Financial, yet
Speaker 8: to releast key details about it's finances or exact purpose.
Speaker 8: Its website, though prominently features photos of Trump and touts
Speaker 8: a digital currency kind of like bitcoin, but the value
Speaker 8: of that currency would be pegged to the US dollar.
Speaker 9: World Liberty Financial announced it will sell tokens to accredited investors.
Speaker 9: Those don't be transferable or earn a yield, but they
Speaker 9: will allow holders to vote on the company's future. Users
Speaker 9: can transact directly with each other without the middleman of
Speaker 9: a bank, and everything is going to occur on the blockchain.
Speaker 9: And that's essentially a public digital letter.
Speaker 4: I'm in.
Speaker 3: I'm just not sure what I mean. It's a little confusing.
Speaker 3: So maybe we could, I don't know, do that thing
Speaker 3: from the Big Short and have mogl Robbie explain this
Speaker 3: Trump business to us in a bathtub.
Speaker 9: It's a scam.
Speaker 3: Oh right, yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 4: See it now.
Speaker 3: But still, I mean, that's just one person's opinion. Is
Speaker 3: there anyone else who's an expert on scams, who's had
Speaker 3: some thoughts a few years ago on crypto bitcoin?
Speaker 2: It just seems like a scam.
Speaker 6: Quote, I am not a fan of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies,
Speaker 6: which are not money and whose value is highly volatile
Speaker 6: and based on thin air.
Speaker 4: Okay, pretty persuasive, but.
Speaker 3: I think I'm gonna need to see him say that
Speaker 3: in a bathtub naked.
Speaker 4: There you go.
Speaker 3: There you got Now, I know it's a scam and
Speaker 3: I'm turned on. I'm sorry, guys, I really thought this
Speaker 3: was a sure thing, but of course not. Trump doesn't
Speaker 3: know anything about crypto. Now, if he had some actual
Speaker 3: financial experts who are running the company for him, that
Speaker 3: would be a different story.
Speaker 10: One of the deal makers behind World Liberty Financial is
Speaker 10: Chase Hero, who previously sold collon cleansers online after serving
Speaker 10: time in prison for dealing marijuana.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 3: Trump's partner in this is a wee dealer turned prisoner
Speaker 3: turned colon cleans Marketer. I mean, clearly he understands the
Speaker 3: concepts of diversifying your portfolio.
Speaker 4: I mean, maybe I can trust this thing.
Speaker 3: But is there anything Chase Hero said that makes it
Speaker 3: clear he understands how the crypto business works.
Speaker 11: You can literally sell in the can wrapped in pissed
Speaker 11: covered in human skin for a billion dollars if the
Speaker 11: stories right, because people will buy it. And that is
Speaker 11: what is going on in the crypto space. And that
Speaker 11: guy said by other video, I'm not going to question
Speaker 11: the right and wrong of all that. All I'm saying is,
Speaker 11: as a human being, you have the ability to make
Speaker 11: a ton of money right now.
Speaker 3: So the guy running Trump's crypto company says, crypto is basically,
Speaker 3: and I quote, a can of shit wrapped in piss
Speaker 3: that you can sell to idiots.
Speaker 4: I mean that is crazy. I did not know you.
Speaker 3: Could wrap something in piss's that's a liquid. This guy's
Speaker 3: a genius. I can't wait to give him my money.
Speaker 3: I just wish there was just one more guy who
Speaker 3: could lend his credibility to this company.
Speaker 5: World Liberty Financial also has Chase Heroes longtime partner Zachary Folkman,
Speaker 5: a former pickup artist who under the name Zach Bauer,
Speaker 5: founded a company called Date Hotter Girls.
Speaker 10: How many guys came?
Speaker 7: I'm here to learn how to take girls home and
Speaker 7: bang them?
Speaker 3: Finally the answer, Finally, the answer to the question what
Speaker 3: if Jesus had herpes? So to sum it up, I
Speaker 3: could not be more excited to trust my kids insulin
Speaker 3: money with these three guys, Donald Trump, a shit in
Speaker 3: a can salesman, and Timu Russell Brand. But the question
Speaker 3: is is this investment right for you? Only you can
Speaker 3: answer that. But I must say I found that new
Speaker 3: ad very persuasive.
Speaker 12: Attention Donald Trump fans, introducing World Liberty Financial, the President's
Speaker 12: latest venture.
Speaker 5: How does it work?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 12: Using the blockchain? We meant a crypto coin, or we exchange.
Speaker 10: Other crypto coins.
Speaker 12: Maybe we platform the DFI blah blah blah.
Speaker 10: Look, we don't know what this is yet, but you
Speaker 10: know the deal.
Speaker 12: Trump's name is on it, so you buy it, okay.
Speaker 12: Crypto is a complex intersection of finance and technology, and
Speaker 12: we don't know shit about it either.
Speaker 10: But what we do know is you like Trump.
Speaker 12: Trump like money, You give Trump money.
Speaker 10: Don't actly. You need to do your due diligence here.
Speaker 12: Oh, let me read the perspectus and make sure this
Speaker 12: is a sound financial decision.
Speaker 10: Thank you pay us.
Speaker 12: Oh you want a chart, fine, here's a chart.
Speaker 10: This is you giving money to Trump.
Speaker 5: You're comprehending all this warm buffet.
Speaker 12: I'm sorry, but we have less than fifty days to
Speaker 12: the election to cram in all the cash grabs we can,
Speaker 12: so we don't have time for a bunch of questions
Speaker 12: like are we ensured by the FDIC Are you kidding me?
Speaker 12: The only fdicee here is you the fucking dummies investing cash.
Speaker 4: Give us your money.
Speaker 12: If you don't have money, then get it, take out
Speaker 12: a loan, steal it from your daughter's wallet, rob a bank,
Speaker 12: rob a blood bank, and sell the blood on the
Speaker 12: black market. Don't get Trump involved unless it works, then
Speaker 12: he wants a cut.
Speaker 5: I have a financial disclosure.
Speaker 12: We legally have to read.
Speaker 10: This is a grift.
Speaker 3: You are the mark.
Speaker 10: Ignore that or don't.
Speaker 5: You're gonna fall for it?
Speaker 1: World Liberty Financial Trump crypto blockchain, blah blah, blah money please.
Speaker 3: When we come back, we find out the celebrity endorsement
Speaker 3: that will decide the election.
Speaker 4: So don't go awhere. Hey oh the Magna Daily Show.
Speaker 3: A week after Taylor Swift endorse Kamala Harris, the Vice
Speaker 3: President has picked up another pop star endorsement. Billie Eilish
Speaker 3: is now team Kamala. I can't wait to see it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I can't wait to see how Trump spells Billie Eilish
Speaker 3: when he tweets about how much he hates her. And
Speaker 3: if you're saying, hey, what's you all the pop well,
Speaker 3: all the endorsements for us dudes, Well, Josh Johnson was
Speaker 3: wondering that too.
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift's endorsement of Kamala Harris was a boom for
Speaker 1: her campaign with women, but a lot of people say
Speaker 1: she still needs to do bear with men. So I'm
Speaker 1: here outside one of the bastions of masculinity, a gym
Speaker 1: to talk to real men about which celebrity endorsement would
Speaker 1: move the needle for them. Hopefully I don't get mistaken
Speaker 1: for Terry Crews. What celebrity endorsement carries the weight for
Speaker 1: you that like a Taylor Swift would carry for women.
Speaker 4: Do there have to be alive or alive?
Speaker 13: Would help?
Speaker 1: Alive is probably one of the most important things that
Speaker 1: they could be, because the first thing I said was Prince.
Speaker 1: The Prince came back from the dead and was like,
Speaker 1: my man, you gotta vote for Kamla. Would that move
Speaker 1: the needle for you?
Speaker 5: Absolutely?
Speaker 1: Okay, Colonel Lank Why because you just saw a ghosts?
Speaker 1: What about some non paranormal endorsements. Is there a male
Speaker 1: celebrity that would make you vote for Kamala Harris.
Speaker 5: Kendrick Lamar, Maybe Lebron He's a big guy.
Speaker 1: I feel like Lebron can move the needle a little bit.
Speaker 5: Okay, probably try to Travis Scott.
Speaker 1: Those selects were so twenty twenty four. How about some throwbacks?
Speaker 1: I would say, Payon Manning, Peyton Manning, do you understanding
Speaker 1: Deon Sanders and Celene Dion that's my girl, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean? Celen Dion, Yes, So everyone that you've mentioned, yes,
Speaker 1: and Celene Dion yes. And it doesn't matter to you
Speaker 1: that she's Canadian all it doesn't matter. So what male
Speaker 1: celebrity endorsement would move the needle for you?
Speaker 9: I leave Michael jih White, Michael joh White.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, and why is.
Speaker 10: That he works out?
Speaker 11: I work out.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 10: We'll have to sit down and like really think.
Speaker 1: For myself, look at the issues, look at the candidates,
Speaker 1: and then maybe of Michael joh White.
Speaker 11: Maybe we gotta sit down together and chit chat.
Speaker 1: Yeah all right, I feel like you just try to
Speaker 1: meet Michael John White.
Speaker 14: Now, none of that.
Speaker 1: But sure he's tough, he's talented. He got killed by
Speaker 1: the Joe, I get it. But maybe I could prove
Speaker 1: to these swow voters that they could look to me
Speaker 1: for political guidance.
Speaker 14: There you go. Men.
Speaker 1: So when it comes to bench press right now, I'm
Speaker 1: hitting like a clean one. Okay, that's pretty good.
Speaker 4: Right, fantastic? Really?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Oh okay, I was.
Speaker 1: That's that's good news for me. Are there any male
Speaker 1: celebrities right and we don't and we don't have to
Speaker 1: talk about a list. They could be in front of
Speaker 1: you right now in this moment, whose opinion means something
Speaker 1: to you?
Speaker 4: By a long cause clearly.
Speaker 1: He was intimidated by meeting such a famous and yoke
Speaker 1: celebrity IRL, So I decided to change the subject to
Speaker 1: the candidates. What do you think, Kamala Harris would have
Speaker 1: to do to appeal to more men if she agreed
Speaker 1: to a boxing match with Logan Paul, What do you
Speaker 1: think that would do? If that move the needle for her?
Speaker 5: I think if she knocks a mountain, no doubt.
Speaker 7: Wow, Okay, knock him out, gold, drag him out the ring,
Speaker 7: all right, President.
Speaker 1: Round after round. He kept me back to the same
Speaker 1: question about masculinity, like, is Trump like.
Speaker 4: A man's man to you?
Speaker 1: No, he's not not really.
Speaker 5: He's not an honest person, gotcha.
Speaker 3: And that's a big part of being a man. To me,
Speaker 3: it's being vulnerable, admitting your mistakes.
Speaker 1: So if I'm vulnerable with you right now, that's that's manly. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: I may have fived earlier with the one twenty five,
Speaker 1: it's really one fifteen.
Speaker 3: It's okay, you move now.
Speaker 1: Does Trump seem manly to you when you think about
Speaker 1: like a man's man?
Speaker 10: I'm being honest.
Speaker 1: The reason why I respect what he says sometime because
Speaker 1: he speak his mind. So for you, it's speaking your mind.
Speaker 1: That's like the manly thing that you like. Yeah, could
Speaker 1: you tell you straight up now?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: So you you like that Trump lets you know from
Speaker 1: far away, far away, I'm crazy yay. At the end
Speaker 1: of the day, it seemed like the only way to
Speaker 1: get some men to go Overcomma might be to trick
Speaker 1: them into it. What if they put a forty five
Speaker 1: pound kettlebell on the lever to vote for Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1: Do you think more guys would do it?
Speaker 3: We would do it. Yeah. Put a sign that says
Speaker 3: like like, try and try and pull this, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean?
Speaker 1: Oh man, don't even tell them the way, Just be like,
Speaker 1: I bet you can't.
Speaker 14: There you go.
Speaker 3: Bet you can't.
Speaker 5: Okay, Yeah, that you can't. That's that should be the slogan.
Speaker 3: You can't.
Speaker 5: I bet you can't.
Speaker 1: I mean it might if you don't understand the context,
Speaker 1: look pretty bad. Just say Kamala Harris, bet you can't.
Speaker 1: That's that that that may backfire.
Speaker 3: Cot Yeah, thank you, Josh. When you come back, my
Speaker 3: good friend Daniel day Kim will be joining you.
Speaker 4: On the shelf.
Speaker 13: And don't go away.
Speaker 4: Welcome back to the Dare we Show?
Speaker 3: My guest tonight is an actor who starts in a
Speaker 3: new Broadway play Yellow Face. Please welcome my good friend
Speaker 3: Daniel day Care.
Speaker 4: Wow, what a warm house.
Speaker 3: Everybody loves you man, you're the man everyone loves Ronnie.
Speaker 4: Who doesn't love Ronnie Chang?
Speaker 3: That's that's forcing it, that's forcing it. So, yeah, you
Speaker 3: one of those guys who's become so rich and famous.
Speaker 3: You have to do Broadway now to get your kicks.
Speaker 14: Yeah, that said, I'm slumming it in theater because you came.
Speaker 4: You came from theater I did.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I started my training here in New York and
Speaker 14: went to drama school here at n y U. And
Speaker 14: uh that's where oh yeah n YU uh and so
Speaker 14: uh and so yeah, I did theater for a number
Speaker 14: of years before heading out to l A.
Speaker 3: Right, And so this was that, you'll that's where you
Speaker 3: learn your craft and you were running around town just
Speaker 3: being a theater kid in New York City.
Speaker 14: Yeah, well, whatever little I know I learned here, Yeah,
Speaker 14: well learn about little, but definitely I wish, you know,
Speaker 14: we all could learn as little as union fact.
Speaker 4: And what does this play about? Uh?
Speaker 14: So it's a semi autobiographical play. I don't know if
Speaker 14: you know the playwright, David Henry Wallah.
Speaker 3: Legend, legendary, what I want.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he wrote a.
Speaker 14: Play called m Butterfly that ended up winning a Tony
Speaker 14: and uh and uh. At the time, in the late eighties,
Speaker 14: there was a play called Miss Saigon that came to
Speaker 14: the US, and uh, that play was famous because it
Speaker 14: was a white actor playing an Asian role with taped.
Speaker 1: Up eyelids that kind of stuff, as they should.
Speaker 13: That's right, And that's.
Speaker 14: No that kind of is it kind of is. So
Speaker 14: he ended up protesting that, David David Henry Long. Yeah,
Speaker 14: so he ended up protesting that and then ended up
Speaker 14: this This play is about him writing a play where
Speaker 14: he actually for his next play, it's a little bit meta.
Speaker 14: He he ends up mistakenly hiring a white actor to
Speaker 14: play an Asian lead in his own play. And so
Speaker 14: that's what this show is about, right, I play David
Speaker 14: Henry Wong.
Speaker 3: Sure, And and that actually is based on a true story, right.
Speaker 14: Yeah, So so much of this play is actually based
Speaker 14: on true events, the Messagon stuff. And uh, you know,
Speaker 14: he actually wrote a play called Face Value right after that,
Speaker 14: which was based on Misson and that play the story
Speaker 14: of the casting of that play is in this play.
Speaker 3: So this is this is play in set And I
Speaker 3: guess you just get attracted to extremely convoluted plot lines.
Speaker 3: I lost that's and the idea. One of the main
Speaker 3: themes of the play is the idea of whether or
Speaker 3: not people of different races can play other races as actors.
Speaker 3: So the if we go to the source of the inception,
Speaker 3: the genesis of it was Jonathan Price playing Asian a
Speaker 3: half Asian man in Miss Saigon's and that's what caused
Speaker 3: the initial and David Henry Juan, being an Asian American activist,
Speaker 3: kind of spoke out about it. Yeah, and then he
Speaker 3: accidentally casted a white guy to play Yeah, because but
Speaker 3: I guess what is your stance on that as a
Speaker 3: as a actor, a respected actor in the theater community.
Speaker 14: Well, I think it requires a lot of thought whatever
Speaker 14: whatever you decided to do. And I think part of
Speaker 14: the reason there was so much controversy around it then
Speaker 14: and now is because it was just assumed that people
Speaker 14: of color, we would not be able to play themselves,
Speaker 14: and that it was okay for people who are not
Speaker 14: African Americans, say, to be to put on blackface and
Speaker 14: then you know, pretend to be African American and it's
Speaker 14: the same thing with Asian Americans. But you know, we're
Speaker 14: in a situation right now where there's so many great
Speaker 14: Asian American performers, you being among them, you know, right.
Speaker 6: And so.
Speaker 14: There is absolutely no reason why Asian performers should not
Speaker 14: be playing Asian characters now, you know there. I think
Speaker 14: the thing that gets a little bit more nuanced now
Speaker 14: is whether we should be nationality specific among Asian Americans.
Speaker 14: And that is an interesting question too, like should people
Speaker 14: of Japanese descent only be able to play people characters
Speaker 14: who are Japanese, or even more nuanced, should they be
Speaker 14: able to play Japanese American characters who have no connection
Speaker 14: to being Japanese nationals. So these are really interesting questions
Speaker 14: and one's worth exploring.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and as president of all actors, what is the answer?
Speaker 4: Can we played or not? Well?
Speaker 14: Honestly, like, I have an opinion about it, and it's
Speaker 14: kind of a hot take, but I think so, clicks.
Speaker 4: Let's go, Here's what I think. No, I think I
Speaker 4: think that.
Speaker 14: We shouldn't be limited to playing people of our own nationality,
Speaker 14: because you know, I always think about the eight year
Speaker 14: old who's watching TV. Can an eight year old or
Speaker 14: ten year old watching TV tell that I'm not Japanese
Speaker 14: or you're not Chinese or you know, if they cannot
Speaker 14: and there are a couple of criteria that I actually
Speaker 14: think about. Is this character historically based there is there
Speaker 14: a cultural significance to a particular country in the character
Speaker 14: that's being played, Or is there a language requirement that
Speaker 14: requires a level of authenticity, or is it based on
Speaker 14: a real character that that that is of that ethnicity.
Speaker 14: If those things are in place, I do think it's
Speaker 14: really important that that the actor be of that same
Speaker 14: nationality or of that same specific ethnic origin. But if not,
Speaker 14: and we're talking especially about Asian Americans, then I think
Speaker 14: it's perfectly fine for someone who's not, say, Korean, to
Speaker 14: play a Korean American because if we're just playing Americans,
Speaker 14: that's the emphasis, right, because uh, you know, we're not
Speaker 14: talking about people of specific countries and those specific things.
Speaker 3: So for example, someone who looks like me, why can
Speaker 3: I play extremely good looking person? Well, you know, why
Speaker 3: should I be limited?
Speaker 14: That's a different conversation.
Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah, So you know you've been you've been in
Speaker 15: show business for like almost eighty five years now, so
Speaker 15: like what based on your you know, I hate to
Speaker 15: ask the generic questions, but like you actually have the
Speaker 15: authority and perspective to talk about this.
Speaker 4: So what all have you felt.
Speaker 3: The industry has changed since when you flist started, when
Speaker 3: you were running around Hell's kitchen.
Speaker 4: Oh, back in the old days, running.
Speaker 3: Around with Charlie Chaplin.
Speaker 4: That's right, so.
Speaker 14: When movies just started getting sound. You know, we've made
Speaker 14: a lot of progress, we really have. Like when I
Speaker 14: first started in this industry, there was a common uh
Speaker 14: uh misunderstanding that Asians were not funny. Like like back
Speaker 14: in the nineties, people thought, oh, Asian people are not funny,
Speaker 14: but there are no Asian comedians out there. And it
Speaker 14: took people like Margaret Cho Ken Jung and you and
Speaker 14: and Jimmy o'yang and so many others just to show that, yeah,
Speaker 14: we've always been out there, we just haven't been seen
Speaker 14: that way. So, you know, so we that had that misperception.
Speaker 14: You know, there have been a lot of stereotypes that
Speaker 14: we've worked under for a long time, but we're breaking
Speaker 14: through them. The fact that you're here right now hosting
Speaker 14: this show is a big breakthrough.
Speaker 4: You know, it's true. What Yeah, well, yeah, that's great.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what can I What can I say?
Speaker 14: I'm making history of every dig joke and bow and
Speaker 14: Yang on SNL for instance, like first Asian American cast
Speaker 14: member and there you know, well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the context in which I know you. You've
Speaker 3: always been very supportive everyone. I first met you at
Speaker 3: the Comedy Celler. You're always very cool to the new guys,
Speaker 3: and so I really appreciate, you know, you being a
Speaker 3: mentor and showing us the ropes and looking out for
Speaker 3: us and all that. So thank you to.
Speaker 4: Yourself and the old Jews divacum.
Speaker 3: And uh, you know this, this one, this one play
Speaker 3: was actually a yellow Face was already uh it's been
Speaker 3: mounted before in two thousand and seven, right, so this
Speaker 3: is like a rem mounting of the play. So do
Speaker 3: you feel like it's is it just as you feel
Speaker 3: the relevant the context of it is different now, Yeah,
Speaker 3: like it was first put on in two thousand and seven, Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's not in twenty twenty four now.
Speaker 14: Yeah, And I actually think it's as well, if not
Speaker 14: more so, because the stuff David was talking about and
Speaker 14: trying to address in two thousand and seven wasn't really
Speaker 14: topical then. He was actually ahead of the curve and
Speaker 14: talking about things like you know, ethnic authentic casting. You know,
Speaker 14: people now kind of see like, well, of course that's
Speaker 14: that's what we should be doing. But back then they
Speaker 14: didn't think that. So now in the wake of George
Speaker 14: Floyd and BLM and you know, stop Asian Hate, there
Speaker 14: is more of an awareness of, you know, what's appropriate
Speaker 14: culturally and what we should be trying to aspire to.
Speaker 14: And so what's crazy about this show is that there
Speaker 14: are a lot of real life figures, very prominent people
Speaker 14: like Dick Cavitt and Frank al.
Speaker 4: Yeah, character yeah.
Speaker 14: And during the time when David was protesting, they were
Speaker 14: on the other side of the issue. They were supporting
Speaker 14: yellow face casting. But you know, now they've all changed
Speaker 14: their minds and said, you know what, We've evolved on
Speaker 14: the subject, and they they're a direct barometer of how
Speaker 14: far we've come. It's a great testament to all of
Speaker 14: them that they're willing to be in the play and
