Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central. What is Christmas without money
Speaker 1: changing hands? Think about it. Imagine Santas coming to your
Speaker 1: house to do what just eat cookies and tell you
Speaker 1: he was there. The whole point is he's delivering the gifts.
Speaker 1: The gifts are brought with money. Christmas is a celebration
Speaker 1: of capitalism. Jesus when he was born. What did the
Speaker 1: people do? They brought gifts, didn't come they're empty handed
Speaker 1: because they were wise men. They knew you come there
Speaker 1: like a broke ass bitch. Oh, the son of God
Speaker 1: has been born. What did you bring? Oh? I didn't
Speaker 1: think I needed to bring anything. No, it's the other
Speaker 1: way around. Christmas is all about giving. First thing you
Speaker 1: do is you give things to people. They brought in
Speaker 1: th most expensive gifts as well, gold, frankinsense, and mer
Speaker 1: It's not about that. It's about investment. You buy them
Speaker 1: ship that they can use like later on in life.
Speaker 1: I'm sick of people buying babies baby things. Babies can't
Speaker 1: use baby things. I brought you like a jumper, like
Speaker 1: they buy like a onesie. The child has outgrown it
Speaker 1: in two months. By kids, functional things. I buy babies bitcoin.
Speaker 1: That's what I do. If your baby gets born, your
Speaker 1: baby's got bitcoin. Yeah, you can thank me in twenty years.
Speaker 1: Coming to you from the vert of Times where in
Speaker 1: New York City, the only city in America. It's the
Speaker 1: Daily Here tonight, Tody Turner Smith is the Daily Show
Speaker 1: with Hey, what's going on? Everybody? Welcome to the Danny Show.
Speaker 1: I'm Trevor Noah. Let's jump straight into today's headlines. We
Speaker 1: kick things off with Omicron. It's the reason Santa ain't
Speaker 1: coming into your house this year. You can find your
Speaker 1: gifts in the front yard. Today, Dr Fauci announced that
Speaker 1: three doses of the current vaccines off a good enough
Speaker 1: protection against Omicron that as of now, we don't need
Speaker 1: any new oh Macron specific vaccines. And that, my friends,
Speaker 1: is great news. You know. It's like finding out that
Speaker 1: your old charger works with your new phone. And this
Speaker 1: is actually good news for anti vaxos because that means
Speaker 1: like your old conspiracy theories will work for Omicron too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you don't have to think of new conspiracy theories because
Speaker 1: that ship is hard. Be like this, this new O
Speaker 1: Macron vaccine is gonna make your blood gay. Oh man,
Speaker 1: this is hard. But just because the current vaccines seem effective.
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean that O Macron isn't turning into a big problem.
Speaker 1: You see, the CDC says that it could soon lead
Speaker 1: to a major COVID wave in America, and it looks
Speaker 1: like when it comes to America's sports leagues, that wave
Speaker 1: is already here. Professional sports are being hit hard by
Speaker 1: a surgeon COVID cases. The league's source tells CNN the
Speaker 1: twenty eight NFL players testing positive yesterday, that's in addition
Speaker 1: to thirty seven players testing positive on Monday. The two
Speaker 1: day total more than doubles the number of cases in
Speaker 1: previous two weeks. The NHL postponing is ninth game this
Speaker 1: season because of multiple players testing positive and the NBA
Speaker 1: plethora of players will mistime result of being placed in
Speaker 1: the league's health and safety protocols. Thirty one players are
Speaker 1: on the list, according to CBS Sports, including Buckstar janisans
Speaker 1: It's Kupo, the reigning finals m v P. He'll be
Speaker 1: out for tonight's game against the Pacers in Brooklyn. The
Speaker 1: Nets they were nearly forced to cancel their matchup with
Speaker 1: the Raptors. Seven players in the NBA's health and safety protocols,
Speaker 1: including superstar James Harden. They had the league minimum eight
Speaker 1: players available for this game. Almost nobody on the Brooklyn
Speaker 1: bench tonight at Barkley Center. Look at that. Oh no,
Speaker 1: not this ship again, Not this ship again. You remember
Speaker 1: what happened last time? Right one week we were all like, huh, well,
Speaker 1: some NBA players getting COVID, and the next week we're
Speaker 1: all at home showering without Amazon packages. I mean, so
Speaker 1: many players in the NBA are getting COVID right now
Speaker 1: that they're gonna have to change the logo. In fact,
Speaker 1: there's so many players who have COVID that I actually
Speaker 1: feel bad for the players who don't have it, because,
Speaker 1: I mean, that's one of a way to find out
Speaker 1: that everyone on the team was hanging out without you.
Speaker 1: The one thing I don't think they should be doing
Speaker 1: is canceling games. Yeah, I said it because everyone hates it,
Speaker 1: and I get that the teams barely have any players left,
Speaker 1: but like, just make them play anyway. I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't know about you, but I would watch the hell
Speaker 1: out of a basketball game that was one on five.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine watching a football team or a quarterback
Speaker 1: has no one to protect him. What the Giants already
Speaker 1: do that. Wow, that doesn't seem safe. In fact, this
Speaker 1: might end up being great for the fans because you
Speaker 1: know how deep down inside, when you're at a game,
Speaker 1: you always hope, you always hope secretly that the coach
Speaker 1: is going to look up into the stands and be like, hey,
Speaker 1: we need you to help us win this game. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's the real reason people wear jerseys. You know, you've
Speaker 1: got to be prepared. Well. Now everyone is so short
Speaker 1: on players, that might actually happen, although knowing how quickly
Speaker 1: Oh Macron spreads, it'll probably be like, hey, you come
Speaker 1: help us win. Just get a quick COVID test and
Speaker 1: he can come in. What. Oh, he's also got a Macron.
Speaker 1: Look at you, loser, Yeah, you suck. You got O
Speaker 1: Macron and you don't play basketball. I'll tell you what
Speaker 1: I'm not looking forward to, though, is hearing what the
Speaker 1: old timers have to say about this at the bobershop,
Speaker 1: because you know they're gonna go in man NBA players
Speaker 1: these days, A stuck Patrick Ewing would never let O
Speaker 1: Macron spike proteins penetrated. He has said it the membrane
Speaker 1: she But let's move on from Corona to something else
Speaker 1: that goes off to your body without permission. Andrew Cuomo.
Speaker 1: Back when he was governor, Cuomo took a break from
Speaker 1: getting people in nursing homes killed to write a book
Speaker 1: about how brilliantly he was handling the pandemic. And that
Speaker 1: book made him very, very rich, at least until now.
Speaker 1: Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is facing new troubles.
Speaker 1: This morning, the state Ethics panel ruled that Cuomo must
Speaker 1: now repay five point one million dollars that he earned
Speaker 1: from a book that he wrote during the COVID nineteen pandemic.
Speaker 1: That book was a memoir on the handling of the pandemic.
Speaker 1: The panel determined Momo used state resources and government staffords
Speaker 1: to help prepare that book, even though his lawyer previously
Speaker 1: said otherwise. The five million dollar bill must be repaid
Speaker 1: by next month. But some of those funds have already
Speaker 1: been donated to charity and also added in a trust
Speaker 1: for his daughters. Oh, I mean, if the money is
Speaker 1: in a trust fund for your adult daughters, just keep that.
Speaker 1: But the money to charity, he's going to have to
Speaker 1: give that back. Actually feel bad for the charities though,
Speaker 1: I mean losing that money right before Christmas. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: orphans no presence this year because Governor Cuomo used the
Speaker 1: office printer. I know, I know, but yes, Cuomo may
Speaker 1: have to give back all five million dollars of his
Speaker 1: book money, which is fine by me. I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't understand why politicians are writing books while they're in
Speaker 1: office in the first place. He's just kind of flaunting
Speaker 1: how you got distracted with the side gig. Honestly, between
Speaker 1: being governor and writing this book. It's a wonder that
Speaker 1: he found time to sectually harass you one at all.
Speaker 1: You know. The bigger issue here for me, actually, when
Speaker 1: I think about it, it's like the money shouldn't go
Speaker 1: back to the government just because he used government resources. No,
Speaker 1: the money should go back because he wasn't doing the thing.
Speaker 1: If you write a book about a thing that you
Speaker 1: weren't doing, then you shouldn't get the money for the
Speaker 1: book because it wasn't real. If we found out that
Speaker 1: the person who wrote the Comma Sutra was a virgin,
Speaker 1: I'd be like, yo, yo, money back, all the money back.
Speaker 1: You were just no wonder. You know, no one's legs
Speaker 1: goes like that. Just made this ship up, just making
Speaker 1: it you just like you put your legs and then
Speaker 1: the other legs. I had a heard here because of
Speaker 1: your ship man. Anyway, let's move on. For the last
Speaker 1: few months, we've been talking about how millions of people
Speaker 1: around the country have been quitting their dead end jobs
Speaker 1: to pursue their true passions. Yeah, you might find this
Speaker 1: hard to believe, but most people's dream job is not
Speaker 1: being berated by a customer at Applebee's. So people acquitting
Speaker 1: to write that screenplay or start that small business, or
Speaker 1: whatever their dream is. And one enterprising young woman is
Speaker 1: making headlines for selling something that everyone else get it
Speaker 1: away for free. Reality star Stephanie Motto of Fance has
Speaker 1: gone viral and a TikTok where she claims to have
Speaker 1: earned over nine dollars selling her farts in a jar
Speaker 1: for fis each. Hey guys, today I'm gonna be showing
Speaker 1: you a day in the life of a girl who
Speaker 1: sells her farts in a jar. So I like to
Speaker 1: get things A roll in with some beans, a protein muffin.
Speaker 1: Sometimes even a yogurt less sugar is better, some hard
Speaker 1: boiled eggs. While I wait for those parts to develop,
Speaker 1: I like to read. I'm very smart. Love to read.
Speaker 1: And then after I'm ready to go, I go ahead,
Speaker 1: and you know, do my word, do my job. I
Speaker 1: don't need to show you that, guys, but I like
Speaker 1: to add a little flower petals. I feel like they
Speaker 1: attach the scent and make it last longer. And when
Speaker 1: I'm finally finished with my jar, I like to leave
Speaker 1: a personalized note mm hmm the smell of success. America
Speaker 1: truly is the greatest country in the world. And props
Speaker 1: to this woman. Props to her for making that money.
Speaker 1: And look, no, this isn't the corbon capture technology we
Speaker 1: were hoping for, but I guess if everyone did it,
Speaker 1: we could solve climate change. Yeah, why didn't you think
Speaker 1: of this, Greta. Now, look, I know a lot of
Speaker 1: people will see this story and wonder who the hell
Speaker 1: is blowing hundreds of dollars on a fot But I mean,
Speaker 1: it's no dumber than n f T s. People are
Speaker 1: dropping millions of dollars on things that don't even exist.
Speaker 1: At least with a fart jar, you get to keep
Speaker 1: the jar, So I'm not gonna judge anybody for buying
Speaker 1: one of these jars. You are into what you're into,
Speaker 1: what I will say I am confused about is what
Speaker 1: you actually do with the fart jar once you have it, Like,
Speaker 1: do you open the jar right away and just get
Speaker 1: one hits? Or do you keep it in its packaging
Speaker 1: forever like a collectible? Oh? Do you keep it for
Speaker 1: a few years and then open it on a special occasion,
Speaker 1: just like, Hey, honey, great news, I finally got that promotion.
Speaker 1: How about we celebrate with a jar of Chateau Dapu
Speaker 1: was a great year. Everyone was stuck inside powerful farts.
Speaker 1: The only thing that bothers me about this is how
Speaker 1: expensive the thoughts are. I mean, for five hundred dollars,
Speaker 1: ship that job better work like a large coke at
Speaker 1: the cinema. Every time I bring it back, I better
Speaker 1: get a free refill. Do the thing, lady, Do the thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because at five dollars fought, there's gonna be a lot
Speaker 1: of people out there who can't afford to buy a
Speaker 1: fought of their own. I don't care what anybody says
Speaker 1: that's not right. The fact is people fought inequalities of
Speaker 1: growing issue right now, and it affects millions of people
Speaker 1: around the world, which is why if you can I'm
Speaker 1: asking you to consider donating to the International Flatulence Fund,
Speaker 1: because nobody should have to deal with the shame and
Speaker 1: embarrassment of telling their children that there will be no
Speaker 1: thoughts under the Christmas tree this year. Thank you. When
Speaker 1: we come back, Dulcay Sloan takes a look at a
Speaker 1: holiday you might have forgotten, but welcome back to the
Speaker 1: Daily Show. We all know the sites of the holiday season,
Speaker 1: Christmas trees, menorah's, frat guys, and Santa costumes passed out
Speaker 1: in their own puke, but you might also see one
Speaker 1: of these. What is it? Dulce Sloan explains in another
Speaker 1: episode of dul saying towards the night before Kwanza, and
Speaker 1: all through the house, everybody was asking what is this
Speaker 1: holiday all about? Kwanza? It's the holiday your white friends
Speaker 1: think your Black friends celebrate. But if you'd like to
Speaker 1: know more about it, I'm happy to tell you. Starting
Speaker 1: on December, black families gathered for seven days to honor
Speaker 1: their African heritage and celebrate the values of the Black
Speaker 1: community like unity, self determination and Beyonce. And some think
Speaker 1: Kuanza has ancient roots, and it does if you think
Speaker 1: doing the mashed potato smoking menthols on a shag rug
Speaker 1: is ain't you because Kwanza was actually created in nineteen
Speaker 1: sixties six by Molana Karenga. He was a Black nationalist
Speaker 1: leader who changed his birth name from Ronald because no
Speaker 1: one wants to celebrate something invented by a guy named Ronald.
Speaker 1: You would even bean my best friend if your named Ronald.
Speaker 1: I'm not even coming to see a birthday for it.
Speaker 1: After seeing the nineteen sixty five riots in l A,
Speaker 1: Karina wanted away for African Americans to honor their African
Speaker 1: roots and reaffirm their cultural connections. So he created Kwanza,
Speaker 1: naming the holiday after the Swahili phrase matunda ya kwanza,
Speaker 1: which means first fruit and then adding an extra reminds
Speaker 1: me of when I copy someone's homework but change a
Speaker 1: little bit so the teacher didn't know how cheated. Karina
Speaker 1: studied a variety of African tribes, pulled from their traditions
Speaker 1: and added thing about candles because candles were on cell
Speaker 1: a baby have been beyond each side of Kwanza. A
Speaker 1: candles lit that represents a different principle unity, more job
Speaker 1: self determination? Couldgi could could Gi? Chocola who hey man,
Speaker 1: I don't know these words. I'm trying all right. Collective
Speaker 1: work and responsibility, Jima cooperative economics, the Jama purpose, Nia creativity,
Speaker 1: Komba faith, Emani Animani the Seventh Night. People exchange gifts,
Speaker 1: and the gifts are often handmade. Why because Kwanza is
Speaker 1: meant to stand against the commercialism of Christmas and because
Speaker 1: handmade gives them much harder to regive. At first, Kwanza
Speaker 1: had a hard time catching on, in part because there's
Speaker 1: a lot of holiday competition during this time of year Christmas, Hanukkah,
Speaker 1: the Lexus December to remember sales of it. Also because
Speaker 1: seven days is a lot of time to spend with family.
Speaker 1: Even Jesus gonna only take three days in heaven when
Speaker 1: his dad before he came back to Earth because he
Speaker 1: needed a break. It also didn't help that Karenga himself
Speaker 1: wasn't the best dude. He spent some time in prison
Speaker 1: for abusing women. If Santa went to prison for smacking
Speaker 1: around Mrs Clauds and then tried to come down my chimney,
Speaker 1: Rudolph wouldn't be the only one with a red nose.
Speaker 1: Kwansi didn't pick up seam until the late seventies, when
Speaker 1: the black middle class began to grow and suburban black
Speaker 1: parents wanted to connect their children to their heritage. And
Speaker 1: of course, for there's black people with money, there's companies
Speaker 1: pretending to care about black culture. So, like every other
Speaker 1: major holiday, soon Quanza became commercialized, the dream Bear advertisements,
Speaker 1: Power Rangers, cell phone commercial Sesame Street, even white ladies
Speaker 1: than the food networks making kwans a cake at least,
Speaker 1: I think that's a cake that looks like something you
Speaker 1: make when you're drunk. At four. I am point is
Speaker 1: Kwanza had a ride. Thirty years after its first celebration,
Speaker 1: ten million Americans were celebrating Kwanza. Even the US government acknowledges.
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton made the first presidential declaration marking the holiday.
Speaker 1: Although I bet you we're just trying to get another
Speaker 1: invites are sentium and the US Postal Service even commissioned
Speaker 1: to Kuanza stamps. Check it out. It's the closest thing
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to reparations. But Kwanza's moment in the
Speaker 1: sun didn't last long. After the nineties, interest in the
Speaker 1: holiday decline, and now only four percent of Americans celebrated,
Speaker 1: which to me just reflects the changing of the times.
Speaker 1: Younger black people don't feel the need to have a
Speaker 1: holiday to affirm their blackness. From Black culture is way
Speaker 1: more visible and easy to engage with nowadays, there's black Twitter,
Speaker 1: black panther, slicked down baby hairs, and honestly, Kwanza is
Speaker 1: a complicated holiday. It's got a problematic beginning and can
Speaker 1: sometimes come off as African cosplay. But on the other hand,
Speaker 1: it brings families together, sent us a black experience and
Speaker 1: as an excuse to have some good food. You But
Speaker 1: maybe the best part of Kwanza is whether you celebrate
Speaker 1: it or not, you can pretend to celebrate it. So
Speaker 1: my white friends will buy me get ha ha bariganny, y'all,
Speaker 1: what does the bargunni made? Oh she's a white lady.
Speaker 1: She don't know. Thank you so much, still say all right.
Speaker 1: When we come back, the star of the new show
Speaker 1: and Berleyn, Jody Turner Smith, will be joining me in
Speaker 1: the studio, So don't go away. Welcome back to the
Speaker 1: Daily Show. My guest tonight is actor Jody Turner Smith.
Speaker 1: She's here to talk about portraying and Boleyn in the
Speaker 1: new mini series that chronicles her final days. Jody Turner Smith,
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. How are you doing wonderful? Um,
Speaker 1: you're you're, you're you're much friendlier than than you appear
Speaker 1: in the show. Um, but welcome to it. It's it's
Speaker 1: good to have you here. Like many people, I became
Speaker 1: a fan of yours because of Queen and Slim, and
Speaker 1: here you are now playing another queen, your majesty, but
Speaker 1: a very different kind of queen. Let's talk a little
Speaker 1: bit about about the journey that you've been on. What's
Speaker 1: it been like. It's of funding. Everyone always says like
Speaker 1: ten year overnight success, right, because you're they're like working
Speaker 1: away and nobody sees it and then they see you
Speaker 1: and then suddenly it's like, oh you're here, and it
Speaker 1: happens so quickly for them it's overnight. Yeah, but even
Speaker 1: once it happens, it happens. I mean, I was so
Speaker 1: blessed to get that movie. I mean, Cleenlandsom changed my life.
Speaker 1: So I just try to work really hard and and
Speaker 1: hope to learn something from everybody that I'm with, because
Speaker 1: I understand that I have so much to learn and
Speaker 1: I'm just growing and it just feels like the world
Speaker 1: is my oyster and that feels really nice. It really is.
Speaker 1: It really is because of like everything that you're doing,
Speaker 1: Like you inspire people in your personal life, just like
Speaker 1: by being you. You know, for those who are fans
Speaker 1: of Dawson's Creek, they know who your husband is and
Speaker 1: you know, congratulations, you have a five month old. Yes, no,
Speaker 1: she's twenty months old. Wild Yeah, what I think was
Speaker 1: five months because so I did Anne Berleyn when she
Speaker 1: was five months That's why that's when I went back.
Speaker 1: So that's what's sticking in your heads. I mean, look
Speaker 1: just the way that you're like, what, I feel the
Speaker 1: same way. I'm just like so shocked that she's that age.
Speaker 1: So if you were, if you're if you're daughter was
Speaker 1: five months old when you were when you were taping this. Now,
Speaker 1: this this is a very like painful story. You know,
Speaker 1: for those who aren't familiar with Anne Berleyn, you have
Speaker 1: this monarch who in many ways was defined by her
Speaker 1: lack of ability to to birth a male heir. And
Speaker 1: and you know, in the series, we see her struggling
Speaker 1: with miscarriages, we see her struggling with, you know, with
Speaker 1: giving birth to a stillborn like it's it's it's a
Speaker 1: really painful journey to be on. Do you think that
Speaker 1: you being a new mom helped you bring like a
Speaker 1: different understanding to the role that you were playing. I
Speaker 1: mean definitely. I mean certain nuances that I think I
Speaker 1: definitely took into Anne Berleyn because I mean, I just
Speaker 1: it's just so specific to to that knowledge that suddenly
Speaker 1: you get tapped into and you have that, and then
Speaker 1: obviously as an artistan as an actor, you then imagine
Speaker 1: further to a you've never existed in, which is like
Speaker 1: so many of the situations that Anne was in, you know,
Speaker 1: and think about like what does the experience that I've
Speaker 1: been through, Like what does that add to what I
Speaker 1: think this story means or is or any sort of
Speaker 1: truth that I'm trying to get to. And I you know,
Speaker 1: given performance, I love that the clip you guys chose
Speaker 1: for the show was like one of the really bit
Speaker 1: cheesy well you know what, Okay, maybe maybe that's that's
Speaker 1: something that we should talk about then, is like and
Speaker 1: Berleyn and and I think many other you know, famous
Speaker 1: women in history, especially like in royal terms, have always
Speaker 1: been defined as one thing, defined as one thing or
Speaker 1: the other they go like, you're the Madonna, You're the
Speaker 1: whole you know, you women in general, what not famous.
Speaker 1: It's just like it's yeah, and so you have this
Speaker 1: character where you've you've got to portray her in a
Speaker 1: way that I think a lot of us have never
Speaker 1: seen her. On the one hand, she can be this queen.
Speaker 1: On the other hand, she can be at the mercy
Speaker 1: of a king. When you're playing a character like that,
Speaker 1: and when you're thinking of her as a woman and
Speaker 1: as a human being, what do you think a lot
Speaker 1: of people didn't know about Ane Berlin that maybe you
Speaker 1: even learned about when playing the character. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: one of the most interesting things to me about her
Speaker 1: was that because we feel like we know so much
Speaker 1: about her, we've seen her played so many times and
Speaker 1: she's endlessly fascinating, and the reality is that we don't
Speaker 1: actually have a record of her in her own words,
Speaker 1: you know, like everything at like literally except for like
Speaker 1: you know this little that little inscription that she wrote
Speaker 1: in her Book of Hours, you know that said the
Speaker 1: time will come, I am berleyn. There's no letters from
Speaker 1: her to Henry, there's no diaries, there's no there's no
Speaker 1: like record of really what she was thinking and feeling. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, so everything is speculation, which I think is
Speaker 1: so fascinating ultimately because it's just like we've never when
Speaker 1: telling her story, sort of focused on how her past
Speaker 1: would have influenced a woman that she was, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean she was in her girlhood around powerful women queens,
Speaker 1: you know, in the French court, rubbing elbows with like
Speaker 1: the most important thinkers at the time, philosophers, artists, like
Speaker 1: of course she would be inspired by that and feel
Speaker 1: like she had this greatness that she wanted to bring
Speaker 1: back to England and like us into everything that she
Speaker 1: was doing. I love that when when you when you
Speaker 1: played the character, I mean, you've gotten great reviews for
Speaker 1: your portrayal of am Berlin. What was sad to see
Speaker 1: was you know, people who were angry, like really racist,
Speaker 1: I mean it's the best way to put it. They
Speaker 1: were just like, wow, how can you You should never
Speaker 1: be playing a Berlin you're black. And I was surprised
Speaker 1: that this was happening, especially in the UK, because I mean, like,
Speaker 1: let's say Shakespeare. Everybody's played Shakespeare in every way, shape
Speaker 1: or form. Sometimes even like the genders have shifted etcetera. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, with Hamilton's that really switched up everyone's ideas
Speaker 1: of how you could cast. But but you seem like
Speaker 1: you took that in your stride. You were you shaken
Speaker 1: up by that or did you have a different perspective
Speaker 1: on like, no, I'm playing a Berlin and yes, no
Speaker 1: other black person has ever played her. But but I am, like,
Speaker 1: I mean, of course I was shaken that by it
Speaker 1: because I care so as much as you know, you
Speaker 1: try to separate yourself from the things that are toxic
Speaker 1: and the things I don't really serve you in your artistry.
Speaker 1: Like I mean, I care, and I'm a caring and
Speaker 1: feeling person. So you know, it definitely is something where
Speaker 1: it's like when people have a strong reaction, they and
Speaker 1: you know they're not afraid to oh yeah, no, no,
Speaker 1: you know, people are very strong on the internet, very
Speaker 1: very strong. You know, they will come to find you
Speaker 1: to let you know exactly how they feel. Um. So yeah,
Speaker 1: and I mean it's it's intense, But the hope is
Speaker 1: that there are some people who it makes uncomfortable, who
Speaker 1: will watch it anyway and watch it for the human
Speaker 1: story that we were trying to tell and see what
Speaker 1: resonates differently for them because they're just looking at it.
Speaker 1: They're looking at it out of the frame of reference
Speaker 1: of race and more just about like this is a
Speaker 1: human woman, and and we all share these experiences in life.
Speaker 1: I mean as human beings. There is no divide between emotion.
Speaker 1: You know, We've all experienced hurt and fear and loss
Speaker 1: and pain and ambition and desire and love, and so
Speaker 1: it's like it's really just trying to tell a story
Speaker 1: about that, and just to say, like we knew that
Speaker 1: Ada Valin was not a black woman. We were not
Speaker 1: trying to say that she was. I just want to
Speaker 1: just just to say, you didn't discover this on the
Speaker 1: first day. No, an Vilain was not black. Oh man,
Speaker 1: here first. This has been so much fun having you. Um,
Speaker 1: congratulations on everything. Um, Like I said, your journey is
Speaker 1: just beginning. Thank you for allowing us to be part
Speaker 1: of that. And congratulations on a fantastic portrayal. Thank you,
