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