I'm Trevor Noah, and joining me for today's headlines is the one and only, Desi Lydicick. What's going on Desi, how you doing? Hey, I'm great, I'm great. I'm great.

Just as long as you want to celebrate it for. Thank you. I'm gonna write it out. I like that. Okay. I mean your birthday is only on one day though, that's different. Well for you. But I celebrate for the entire week, top to bottom. You'll see in June. I hope not but yeah. Oh yeah. Happy. Happy birthday. Thank you. All right, let's jump straight into today's headlines. We kick things off with the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Or as Prince William calls it, the brown thing happening to white people war. Today, Russia and Ukraine held their first high-level peace talks,

but please do not get your hopes up. Not only did Russia not agree to end the war, it wouldn't even admit that it started a war. Yeah, Russia's foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, was asked if they planned to invade any other countries, and his answer was, quote, we are not planning to attack Ukraine, end quote. Which is obviously a lie.

And it's also not reassuring for the rest of Europe. Yeah, now we are not attacking Poland. Now we are not attacking Paris. Now we are not taking Paris. Now we're not taking Pace tockes. Now we're not taking the world. What? theyrace. to stop blowing up Russian missiles with their maternity wars? And by the way, if Lavue the war is unfortunately, thii. thia. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. tho, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, tho, thi. thi. thi. Now, thi. Now, thi. Now, th. Now, now, now, thi. Now, th. Now, now, thi. Now, now, thi. Now, thi. Now, thi. Now, thi. Now, thi. Now, thi. Now, thi. thi. thi. thi. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. the. tho. th tho. tho. tho. Now, the. Now, missiles with their maternity wars? Get the f-b-a'-a'-a'-maid-a'er here, man. So for now, the war is unfortunately continuing. And not only is the war continuing, it's even spilling over into space. This morning, the International Space Station in political crosshairs as Russia retaliates against American sanctions. The head of the Russian space agency, Dmittergoze. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thine, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th. th. th. the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, itri Ragozen, posting this video on social media,

threatening to abandon American astronaut Mark Vandahehi at the station. He's supposed to return home on a Russian ship in just three weeks. Rigoss in also making an ominous threat that without Russian help to move the ISS away from space junk, the ISS would crash into America or other countries. Wow, this is wild. Russia is so mad about sanctions that it's threatening to abandon an American astronaut in space and allow the International Space Station to crash into Earth. And I mean, this is obviously a horrible threat to make, but I will admit this.

I do kind of see Russia's side. I do. I'm a for Russia, but I see it. I mean, flying someone home from space is a huge favor to do, especially for an enemy. You know, it's like picking them up from the airport a million times over. And also, why didn't America get this astronaut down before this war escalated? They knew he was hitching a ride on a Russian thing. It's like when you quit a job and then you storm out of the office, cursing at everyone. Yeah, suck my d'e-eck. And then you realize you left your phone behind. Oh, man.

Oh, shit. Yeah. I'm sorry about that, sir. I didn't realize it was still charging. Yeah. But text me about it. You know people, this is exactly why American needs to start some sorts of military force, to defend space. Think about it, right?

What they could do is have it up there defending all of space on America's behalf. What's that? Oh, it did? It did? And I called it the military's version of the University of Phoenix? Huh, that's funny, but that doesn't sound like something I would say. Yeah, no, that's not me. Desi, would you fetch someone stranded in space? No, no, never. I won't pick anyone up at the airport, not even my husband.

My husband's been living at LaGuardia for the last three and a half months. Like that Tom Hanks movie? Sometimes I'll then mow him for a cinn, you know, just to keep keep keep keep keep keep keep keep keep their their their to keep to keep to keep to keep their to keep their to keep to keep their to keep to keep their their to keep their to keep their to keep their to keep the sparks alive. But no. No. Also, this really proves my point that you have to overpack for everything because you never know. People are like, oh don't overpack, it costs more money, it takes up more space. No, now you're strained in space and you're going to want those two extra books in your Diva Cup. I hear you there. Not that my, not that my Diva Cup takes up a lot of space. It's a very normal, compact item. Doesn't take up much space. You know. No, I don't know.

I understand. Do you think you can actually use a Diva cup in space? Gravity is a tricky thing, huh? How does gravity work? Work? How does gravity work? Work. I'll circle background. Okay, okay, cool. Okay, I've limited experience in this field, so you got that.

All right. We're going to be talking more about Russia and Ukraine later on in the show, but let's move on. Because it turns out there is another terrifying invasion that's in the news right now. Very soon you may be seeing a massive new spider right in your own backyard. Now comes the Juro spider. Native to Asia, it was first spotted in Georgia nearly a decade ago. They've since spread across the southeast with some using their parachute-like silks to travel in the wind.

So a new study at the University of Georgia predicts the Juro spiders will make their way up the east coast this spring. It's unclear how far north they'll go, but they'll be hard to miss growing up to three inches long and to end that's as wide as your palm. People are going to have to learn to appreciate spiders because this spider isn't going anywhere. Okay, this guy's clearly never met humans, right? Because when we're afraid of something, we don't try and learn to appreciate it. We try and destroy it at all costs. That's what humans do.

The scientist's gonna sit there and tell us. We need to sit back and learn to appreciate spiders. What kind of rational bullshit is that. Pick up a broom and join the fight. fight you coward! You know sometimes I don't understand nature. Why did it feel the need to create something like this? Huh? Spiders that have parachutes and fly around? You know with some things you get why they exist, like how plants put oxygen into the atmosphere and how birds evolve into chickens so we can't make delicious sandwiches. But giant spiders! Was Mother Nature like

people's nighers have become too boring. Let's spice things up. You can't even kill that thing with a regular shoe. Do you see the size? You probably need like a Shaq-sized shoe. Yeah, so thanks, spiders. Now I've got to break into Shaq's house and steal his shoes again. And by the way, if you think a giant spider is bad. And by the way, if the thin, if you're thin, if you're, if you're, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. It's a disaster. I don't know why everyone isn't panicking. I mean it's probably because scientists say that we actually shouldn't be worried. That's what they say. These spiders are actually completely harmless to people. Yeah.

They're not even bad for the ecosystem, which actually makes me feel a little bit better. I'm not going to lie. Yeah, because last night I had a dream that those spiders crawled into my ear and they laid eggs in my brain. And then now, every time I keep quiet, I feel like I can hear something. Anyway, dreams are weird. Desi, are you freaked out by spiders? Nah. I'm not afraid of these spiders coming to New York at all. No, because nothing can be more devastating than Spider-Man on Broadway. Like, the thirtu. th-e, every, every, every, every, every, every, every, every, every, every, every, every, every, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, every, every, every, thi, every, every, every, every, every, every, every, every, every, every, every, every, every, every, every, every thi, every thi, every thi, every thi, every thi, every thi, every thi, every thi, every thi, every thi, every, every, every, every, every, every, every, every, every, every, every, every, every, every, every, thi, thi, th. And, thi, th. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th afraid of these spiders coming to New York at all. No, because nothing

can be more devastating than Spider-Man on Broadway. Like ruptured eardrums, broken bones, bad reviews? Terrible. Nothing can be worse than that. Plus, I feel like the Manhattan cockroaches have just kind of gotten complacent lately with the pandemic. Like they don't even scatter when you turn the lights on anymore. I come home and turn the lights on and they're like, ah, Desi, you're home late. Like, very confident. So I'm excited about these spiders. You have an interesting perspective on life.

I like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah I do. All right. Let's move away from spiders to someone else who's got America ensnared in her web. I'm talking about Kim Kardashian, influencer, business mogul, and Instagram's final boss. To promote the new Kardashian show that's launching on Hulu, Kim and her sisters gave an interview to Variety where they talked about their lives and their business strategies, but one clip that's gone viral has rubbed many people the wrong way. Kim Kardashian has sparked outrage among some people after offering women career advice during a recent interview with Variety Magazine. Here's what she said.

I have the best advice for women in business. Get your fucking ass up and work. It seems like nobody wants to work these days. That's so true. You have to surround yourself with people that want to work. No toxic work environments and show up and do the work. Okay. Okay. Okay. I know. I know a lot of people are pissed off at Kim.

I know. But if I'm being perfectly honest, I can see this thing from both sides. I honestly can. Like I can see it from Kim's side. I can see it from Kim's side, you know? She's like, you guys think I just take a few pictures and I go to a few events and then suddenly I'm rich and famous and you think it's easy but it's not easy and I understand that. Kim does a lot of work. She grinds all the time, she's a shrewd business woman and she's and she's and she's and she's and she's and she's and she's and she's and she's and she's a mom. And she's a mom. And she's a mom. to do. to do. the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thin. thin, thin. thin. thin. thin. th. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thee. thi. theee. You's thi. You thi. You thi. You thi. You thi's the kids. But part of this idea that people have of Kim is Kim's fault. I mean, think about it for decades. The thing that she's sold is not work. Yeah, in fact, she works really hard to look like she's not working hard.

Every photo on Instagram, she's either on a beach or in a, or in a hot tub. Basically, any relaxing body of water, she's there. You know, so I get why people have the idea that she doesn't work, because you don't see it. You know, I mean, maybe Kim should put that stuff on Instagram, you know, put up photos of late night meetings, constant calls on product design. I mean, you can still do it in a bikini if you want, People should see more of the work. They'd understand. Like, take the rock. Here's an example. Look at the rock, right? Because of his social media, I know what it takes to become the rock.

I know if I'm going to try to become like him, I've got to wake up at 4 a.m. every day, lift every weight in the gym, and try not to laugh every time I have have to to to's like the, he's a human, but he's like the size of like a little dog, Kevin, I got him. Kevin, he's like, he's in my pocket right now. Damn! But here's the thing that maybe Kim Kardashian doesn't understand. It can come off as extremely condescending to tell women that the reason they're not successful is because they're too lazy to get off their asses and actually work. Because yes, Kim Kardashian works hard, but you know who else works hard? Most women.

But what their asses don't have is Kim's luck to be born into a rich family with a famous lawyer parent and an even more famous Olympian step parent and all the access and the connections that that brings you. Think about it, if you're lucky, if you're lucky to have that, then yeah, there's a good chance that your hard work is gonna make you successful. But don't forget how much luck has to do with that success. Anyone who says, just work hard and things will work, thooooo, tho you are, the harder you probably work. Yeah, my grandmother worked ten times harder than me, but

I'm bowling circles around that woman. Yeah, you hear that, Gogggo? You can't touch me? And by the way, happy birthday, Gogo. She just as a failed Instagram influencer yourself, like, what do you think about this? Well, I'm not so much failed as blocked. It's more of a legal issue, but we're getting into semantics. I know, I feel like for Kim, she didn't really have the that she was born into privilege in such an expanded way. So I feel like this was her short answer, right? It's the, it's the, I drink a lot of water of the finance world. Like when you know celebrities spend 30 hours a week looking as gorgeous as they do and they're like, I drink a lot of

water. I feel like that's kind of what she was doing, right? But telling women to work hard isn't wrong. I mean, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thui, thui, thui, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thrown their, thrown, thi, thi, their, their, I their, I their, I their, I'm their, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I their, I their, I their, I their, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I their, I their, I their, I their, I their, I'm thr-a, I'm thr-a, I'm thr-a, thr-a, I'm thr-s, I'm thr-a, I'm thr-a, I'm they, I drink, I'm that's not bad advice. In fact, it's kind of inspiring to me. I mean, she's right. I gotta get off my ass and stop doing nothing with my life. I mean, literally nothing. Look at me, like doing nothing. What am I even doing? What? I don't think you're doing nothing. You gotta do something.

No, Desi, you're working here. You're you're doing something. Desi, you have a job. I'm gonna get a job. I'm gonna get a job. Desi, you have a, you have a job. No, I mean like a real job. You can keep me on payroll though. Did she just say a real job like what we do here isn't? Wow, that, that hurts. Good luck out there, Deszy. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi. thi, thi, thi, you. thi, you you, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you you, you you thi, you to you, you you, you you have you have you have you have you, you you, you you, you you, you you, you you, you you, you you, you you, you you, you you, you you, you you, you you, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, toda, today, tip, today, today, today, thi, thi, thi, thi, you thi do here isn't... Wow, that hurts. Good luck out there, Desi. All right. I'm going to take a moment to process that pain, and while I do that, don't go away. Because when we come back, we're going to be looking at the Russian oligarchs who might be the key to stopping Putin's war.

Welcome back to the Daily Show. Ever since Russia invaded Ukraine, America and Europe have been trying to find a balance

between helping Ukraine, whilst also avoiding going to war with Russia themselves. Because nobody wants World War III. I mean, other than defense contractors and those people who sell merch in the trenches. But one of the weapons the West has been using against Russia is sanctions, yes, which comes from the Latin sanctio, meaning to mess with someone else's shit. Yeah, whether it's military, diplomatic, or financial,

the ultimate goal of these sanctions is to turn up the pressure on Russia so that it ends Ukraine's conservators and finally sets it free. And one of the most significant sanctions America and Europe have imposed is going after oligarchs. Tonight the US is moving to tighten the squeeze on Vladimir Putin and the oligarchs, the richest Russians who surround him. The administration, along with Britain and Europe, introducing a raft of sanctions, targeting oligarchs and their families, even President Putin. These tough new measures are designed to hurt those closest to Putin, figures who until

now have seemed untouchable, now clear targets. Britain's threat to the Russian oligarchs, seven of them sanctioned, including Roman Abramovich, the owner of the Chelsea Football Club. That club can't sign new contracts contracts and it cannot be sold. Italy sees an oligarch 70 million dollar yacht. French officials seized the Amore Verro, about 280 feet long, with multiple VIP suites and a pool that turns into a helipad. Damn!

A guy has a boat that has a pool that turns into a helipad? Who? Do you know how rich a person has to be to have a mode a mode to have a mode mode that has a pool that turns into a helipad? Who? Do you know how rich a person has to be to have a mode of transportation that carries another mode of transportation? And it sits on a body of water while it carries a body of water. That's money. I mean, think about a pool that tuare that tur-a pool. I mean, think about a pooling, thoompipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipa, the that's that's that's that's a pool, that's a pool, that's a pool, that's a pool, that's a pool that's a pool that's a pool that's a pool that's a pool that's a pool that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that stays a pool. Yeah, maybe it's just me, but one of my favorite things about relaxing in a pool is not worrying

if a helicopter's gonna land on me. It's part of the pleasure I get. But yes, Europe and America are handling Putin the way you handle any breakup, by blocking him and all his friends. And you might be wondering, well, the oligarchs didn't start the war. They're not ordering troops to bomb hospitals, so why are they being targeted by the sanctions? Well, let's find out why. Who are the oligarchs? And I know oligarchs sounds like a creature chasing Frodo in Middle Earth,

but it's actually just a fancy term for a group of super-rich billionaires in Russia. But it's how these billionaires got that way that makes them interesting. After almost 70 years of Russian communism, where the state controlled everything, the Russian people saw huge political and economic change practically overnight. For a select few businessmen known as oligarchs, they managed to rise to the top. Soviet Union, all land and all property was owned by the state. In the 1990s it was privatized and the most valuable companies were landed in the hands of these business people, mostly oil and gas and mineral companies under the Putin era.

He took some of the assets from the oligarchs who had made their money in the 1990s and gave them to his friends. A lot of money that is his. He has basically handed over to oligarchs for safe keeping. They include Yuri Kavalchuk. The billionaire chairman of Bank Rosia is also the bank's thiiiiiiiiii, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi,alchuk, the billionaire chairman of Bank Rossia is also the bank's largest shareholder and has been called one of Putin's cashiers, Arkady Rodenberg. He grew up alongside Putin in St. Petersburg, and for a time was Putin's judo-sparring partner.

Evgeny Prygosen, a secretive oligarch dubbed Putin's chef because his company oversees catering for the Kremlin and other state agencies. Putin's cashier, Putin's chef, Putin's dog walker. They call him that because he walks Putin's dogs. But yeah, essentially when the Soviet Union fell and communism ended in Russia, a bunch of lucky dudes would just hand the keys to entire industries that used to be owned by the government. And they became super rich. Yeah, those are the oligarchs.

And when Putin came to power a decade later, a new generation of his buddies became oligarchs too. So clearly it pays to be Putin's friend. I mean, sure you're the one who is to to those shirtless horse picks, but, I mean, in the end, you get an oil company. Yeah, make sure you get entire horse, and think a lot so I have options. But still, why sanction Putin's friends over the war in Ukraine? Well, it's because they're Putin's friends. And that means that if you maybe, maybe make their lives shittier,

maybe they'll try talk some sense into him. And let's be honest, man, that's life. Rich people complaining is how shit always gets done. That's how colonization happened. Rich people were like, my food has no flavor. And two days later, the British took over India. Now, of course, sanction these oligarchs, America and Europe need to access their wealth. That's a question, right? I mean, how can you get to all of this Russian money?

Well because it turns out none of the money is actually in Russia. Oligarchs around the Putin regime use Western banks and Western jurisdictions as havens for the wealth they'reir stealing from the people of Russia. Billions and billions of dollars stolen and then laundered through Western banks like Deutsche Bank, laundered through real estate in Europe and the United States. Russian oligarchs have long used New York City as a place to park their cash in the form of large apartment buildings, often that sit empty. Russian oligarchs have as about as much money in financial wealth stashed in offshore accounts as the entire Russian population has in Russia.

That is, in many ways, Russia's Achilles heel in all of this. Suddenly now, governments suddenly start seizing hotels, football teams, yachts, homes. It will certainly get the attention of the most powerful people in Russia by hitting them where it hurts. That's right. The oligarchs own shit everywhere. Real estate in New York, oligarch money. Sports teams in Britain, oligarch money. That couch you're sitting on right now. I mean you bought that but check between the cushions. There's some rubles in there. And look, man, I get why. I get why these guys want to buy football teams in London,

or luxury apartments in New York, or park their yachts in San Trope, because, I mean, let's be honest, spending money in Russia, that isn't as much fun. I mean, the yacht experiences just not the same if you have to wear a to wear a a a a to wear a to wear a to wear a to wear a to wear a to wear a to wear a to wear a to wear a to wear a to wear a to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their to the to to to the the the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the t.., te., teat., teat., teat., teat., teat., teat., teat., teat., t Bosch boilers kept all their wealth in the West, but that changed real quick when these sanctions started getting past. And now, they're all well aware that their assets are in bigger danger than Mike Pence at a Trump rally. Russian oligarchs are scrambling to secure their assets as the US works to enforce

sanctions against the ultra-rich surrounding President Vladimir Putin. Here at the Plaza Hotel, a 50 million dollar Russian-owned apartment is reportedly up for sale before it can be seized. Oligarch scrambling the commercial-sized aircraft to safe havens they hope will be beyond the reach of U.S. and international law enforcement. They are also moving their yachts. Tracking data showing many of their largest vessels sailing toward the Maldives where they will be harder to seize. Now as pressure grows on the ultra-wealthy, some oligarchs are starting to call publicly for an end to the war. We've counted up to eight billionaires who have spoken publicly, which is really unprecedented. This has never happened before. Yeah, because of these sanctions and because they're afraid of losing stuff, a bunch of these

oligarchs are already speaking out against Putin's war. Please, we must think of this war's impact on innocent children. That is the name of my yacht, innocent children. She does not deserve this. Please look at her. Oh. But you can see how spook these oligarchs are, right? They're moving their planes, they're sailing out to sea, they're swallowing condoms full of gold. And like, I know all of this stuff is complicated. But it does seem a little counterproductive that these guys have enough warning to take all of these measures internet history. By the time you get there, all you're gonna find is a Google search for, why isn't there a second Mother's Day?

Aw. But the real question is, will putting pressure on these oligarchs be enough to end this war? Well, to help answer that, we go to our very own Roy Wood Jr. Who is reporting live from International Waters? Roy, what is your is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is your is your is your is your is your is your is your is your is your is your what is your reporting telling you? You know, Trevor, I've been hearing all this noise about how evil and corrupt these oligarchs are,

but I've been doing some personal investigating and it turns out, these oligarchs are very decent, kind people. They're just good people. Oh, more caviar. Thank you, Oxana. Passiva. Right. Are you in a super yacht right now? That's right. I needed to investigate firsthand. That's why I searched up and down this yacht for dirt on these oligarchs.

Trevor, I looked in the massage parlors. I looked in the cigar lounge, I looked in the casino, then back to the massage parlors. Then I was on the deck checking out the sunrise yoga. Then back to the massage parlors again. I keep forgetting what we was talking about, man. Damn, this is a nice-ass-yack man. I tell you this much, boy. Roy.

Roy, what's it? thanks, John. Roy, what's happening? Your journalistic ethics have clearly been compromised, Roy. Whoever's yacht this is, has bribed you. Brib? What? What? What?

What? What? the the the the. the the the. theyrown. Do you not understand? They use their money to corrupt everyone around them so that they can get away with their evil deeds. Oh, so now it's evil to build a fortune

on the back of a murderous regime? Yeah. And I, oh, the next thing you know, you're gonna tell me it's evil for be used to help the Russian people? Yeah. And if I accept their dirty money and allow their personal assistant, Oxana, to rub me head to toe and truffle oil in return for favorable coverage, you're saying that I'm somehow complicit in this evil. Yes, Roy. Damn, I was hoping you'd say no, man, this some heavy shit. There's a lot to think about. Better think about this over some Dodo Bird wings.

Oh yeah, that's Dodo right there. That's a good Dodo Bird right now. Wait, aren't Dodo Bird's extinct? But they are now. It was worth it. You know what, that's enough, Roy. I'm suspending your reporter license. Just get back to America, Roy. All right, we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we're we. We we're th. We we're th.

And congratulations on being part of, I think it's an instant classic immediately. I mean it's then then then then then then tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho, thi tho, to to to tho, to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to be to part of, I think it's an instant classic immediately. I really, really hope so. I mean, it's an amazing thing to be a part of like the Pixar canon. It's like crazy. You know what I mean? And then it really, really unabashedly talks about puberty, about a changing of a young woman's body, about menstruation, and then also about like, the to be, thaping, thaping, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin', thin', thin', thin' thin' to be to be a to be a to be a to be a thin' to be a thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, I I th, th, thi, thi, thin' thin' thin' thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thiiiiaa'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a, thi, thi, thi, thia' Mom, you gotta give you some space. So, you know, playing the mom, it was a really great thing to kind of lend that voice, my little way of voice to that. You know, it's so interesting to me how Pixar has found a way to tell stories that people are almost afraid to tell in any other medium now.

You know, Pixar's talking about mental health. That's exactly. Picks I was now talking here about puberty. And in like a very real way where I think parents, kids, it's almost like Pixar is taking over the role of, you know, the conversations that people don't want to have. You know, if you have kids, oh, puberty's coming.

Let's go have a pixel moments. their kids, particularly like 8 to 12, who are right before it, they've struck a conversation. My friend, she has a you know, a 9-year-old kid and he was like, what's a pad? I love that, right? And then she's like, okay, he's asking me a question about it. Let's talk about this. These, what are hormones? Oh my gosh, someone was telling me that they had a conversation with their 12-10-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-a-in-in-year-year-in-in-year-year-year-year-year-year-year-year-year-old-old-old-old-old-year-old-old-old-year-year-a-a-year-year-old, th-year-year-year-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a, what, what, what's, what, what, what's, what's, thi-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a- 10-year-old about metaphor. Do you mean, so like the panda, like, so basically the main character, Mainlan Lee, she's like a 13-year-old Chinese-Canadian girl, right? When she gets overwhelmed, like puberty that she poofs into this giant red panda, right? But the panda is like a metaphor for a lot of stuff. So even just to have the discussion of what is metaphor. I mean, come on. I love that.

Is it true that somebody told you, I think it was an agent, that you should just leave America? They were like, go home. There's no room for you. And they weren't saying it to you, like, get out of here. They were saying, hey, I'll be honest with you. crushing? Do you mean like you're 21 and you have like a certain amount of credits you know you know having been born and raised in Canada at that point I've already done films I've already done like A-list theater.

Yes won awards and it just like didn't matter at that time so but we're talking about you know the mid 90s right so it's like again it's like some of the projects that I'm working with, it's amazing to age because you get like perspective, right? So like I'm doing like a press tour with Domey. She's a millennial, our director, right? And these two, all these young girls, right? Rosalie Chang, she's 16, my tramie, Ramakrushin, she's like 20, and it's like, I feel like so great to go, girls, you know, welcome, and to kind of help them out a little bit.

Right, right. Because I'm not saying that everything has changed and we can't stop kind of working at, you know, I hate kind of like the word, like diverse storytelling, because I feel it's like, well, you know, sometimes sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, it's like marginalized and you know you know what it is sometimes sometimes it feels like people use it as like a tokenism thing people uses like a pandering I think of it as originality that's how I think of it's that's exactly it you know it's like it's like at some

point stories all become the same yeah okay and then the more you try and try and try and branch out and to try and to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the to the to to the to to to to the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the try. try and branch. try and branch try and branch try and branch try and branch out try and branch out try. try and branch try and branch try and branch out try and branch out to to to to to to to try and branch people to tell those stories with. And I find that becomes more interesting. That, you know, it... Absolutely. I totally agree. And the fact that it's also like, so dumby, right? She, she did an Oscar-winning short bow. And then so, right? So she was picked up by Pixar, I want to do this because they're smart. I'm sorry Pixar smart. They're like they the way that they consciously make films it's all about the filmmaker right and that whole thing about originality uniqueness it's like we want to grow the story telling canon

because I feel you know I get this question a lot which is like oh you work like women a lot and it's like it's true it's true it's true because that's who hires me by the way so all throughout my career the majority of people who I've worked with regarding like writer-directors right? Women? Women of color right so what is it? One why did I work with? Why do I w work with them? they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. I thi. I th. I th. I work work work w. I work w. I work w. I work w. I work th. I work th. I work th. I work th. I work th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I the. I the. I the. I the. I the. I the. I the. I the. I the. I the. I the. I the. I the One, they hire me, but two, I think now it's like, oh, because, you know, Shonda Rimes is writing characters from her perspective as a woman. Phoebe Waller Ridge is writing her perspective as a woman. Yes.

Same with, obviously, Domi Shee and this other movie that I'm coming out, coming out, umma by Irish shim. It's like a young woman's perspective so she wants, so that's what's interesting because it's like coming from a point of view that I'm interested in, they're interested in like, you know, me doing that work for them and so that's how it's worked out so far. I think it's working out for the best. I mean, no, really, as a viewer, as a consumer, I love it, I get to enjoy it. I mean, I'm sad that Killing Eve is coming to an end. You know, that's been quite a journey, and you've left your imprint on that.

What are you looking forward to? You know, I gotta tell you, like, I'm sure, like many of us, this time during the pandemic, it makes, it really brought the thought inward. And also also, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thus, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi., that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, thr-a.a.a.a. And, that's, that's, that's, thi. And, thought inward. And also at this deeply in the midlife part of my life, I think the assessment of what is important and what I choose to put my time into is becoming more and more important. That's like an actor. It's just like you just want a job. You just want to work. So one of the things that I was able to practice after Graze is, I'm just going to sit. I'm going to sit and be uncomfortable because the usual desire to make a move or

to try and get work or like, you know what I mean? Which is eventually, hopefully, the stuff that you have to grow out of. Right, it's hard. It's hard. Right? So I feel just kind of continuing that, taking, it's not like a little break, but like being discerning. I love that.

Disserning, enjoying the moment. And yeah, at least we get to enjoy all the work that you've been doing for the last few years because it's coming out now. Thank you so much for joining me on the show. And congratulations. Congratulations on everything that you've done. Oh, thank you so much. Appreciate you so much. All right, thanks. Thank you so much.
