If it wasn’t for Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias, a trip to Footlocker could have ended Trevor’s career.

A Case for Compassion
This week on the podcast… Amazon’s Wizard of Oz moment. Plus, Trevor invents a new dating app, why Josh has the perfect name for big corporations, and Christiana announces she’s raising the first Nigerian president of the United States. But the big idea Trevor, Christiana, and Josh get into: masculinity, violence, and why young people, especially young men, are harming others out of a genuine sense of alienation. And Josh makes a case for compassion (let the record stand, he’s no incel!).

Customer Reviews
The one podcast I just can’t wait to listen to!
I’m in love with this podcast!!! Every week I look forward to a new episode!!! The only podcast where I can laugh and yet hear intelligent conversations and not so intelligent ones 😝 and also maybe shed a tear . LOVE IT!!! it’s the perfect mix! Trevor Noah you are one funny smart cookie! 😉 You must listen to this beautiful, smart and funny trio!
Boys Like Me
I really appreciated this conversation-especially the part of trying to understand incel culture. There was a Canadian podcast that came out a few years ago that spoke to this issue directly -“boys like me” - it gave me a whole new insight & understanding I never would have thought of. I’m so glad you are continuing these hard & needed conversations. Thank you.
A Breath of Fresh Air
Love Trevor’s sense of humour and outlook on life. We need more media like this which is the total opposite of most of the provocative, negative and divisive junk that assaults us everyday. The banter with his regular friends on the show (Josh Johnson and Christiana Mbakwe Medina) is super funny and as much fun to listen to as his interviews.
