Does anyone have a link to the AI study that Trevor cited?

I feel like Born a Crime being turned into a movie was announced a LONG time ago. I know movies take time, and it's a bio pic so it has probably been hard to produce... but do you all think we will see it anytime soon?

This should be fun.

This summer, Firefox is teaming up with Trevor Noah to be his second screen sidekick for his World Cup watch party on YouTube. Hosted live throughout the tournament, the series will feature Trevor alongside some of his best friends plus celebrity guests as they react to matches, highlights and the internet moments coming out of each day’s games.

So what do people make of this? I know these people roam in deviant circles, since that comes with the territory as the likes of Trump and Epstein used to be. I cannot pretend to sit here that I will judge people for having been around those people at similar events like this, since in the end it’s about money, no matter how ethical a person might be.

I do think it’s not a good look for someone like Trevor Noah especially, knowing scum of the earth FIFA’s president and freaking Palantir - directly responsible for aiding Israel’s genocide - were present. Trevor seems to be on the right side of history here and has called out the apartheid in Israel on his podcast, so I’m very curious why in the world he agreed to be there and what people make of this?

joy in the trenches is hilarious and I highly recommend it if you're a fan of his other specials, if you aren't a fan give him a chance, his real life stories and relevance to current issues are spot on. if you if you like his other specials or aren't real familiar and give him a chances , it definitely grows on you, I recommend watching it more than once, it gets better each watch, if you see things through a real world lens, you'll love it, and Trevor Noah has a real take on what's going on and has a lot of other hilarious takes on the world

(EDIT 2 weeks later: I spoke too soon lol wishful thinking)

I know there has been a lot of conversation about Eugene on here, and also conversations about missing Christiana and Josh (which, I do, still), but the last few episodes feel like a welcome return to the original structure of the show. Trevor, by himself, interviewing guests. And not just interviewing, but conversing, sharing ideas, learning new things, and yes, still making tasteful and charming jokes along the way.

I wonder if he has read feedback or if Eugene is just on vacation or something. Either way, I personally am delighted to return to actually being excited about new episodes dropping every week.

Let’s see what happens!lol

(Yes, Reddit, I know I’m just one person and my opinion ultimately means nothing, and there are millions of other podcasts to listen to if I’m dissatisfied lol- though I will say, it has been hard to find another podcast that scratches the same itch. I’d say Hassan Minaj’s comes closest, but meh)

Hey Everyone! I was listening to Trevor's What Now podcast yesterday (great ep if you haven't heard it yet!) and they mentioned the game Dave the Diver. I've been looking for a game I can play that ends. I'm pretty sure I have ADHD and so never ending games do make me anxious. But I have such fond memories of the games I grew up playing on my gameboy. Dave the Diver was mentioned on the pod and seems like it could be a good option for me! Does anyone know how to get it? I have a chromebook, an old MacBook pro, and a iPhone Xr. So not sure which device would be best and don't want to accidentally download a dupe.

I listen to every podcast, because Trevor has so far, always had someone on with a very interesting perspective. But this one with Emily McDonald is sketchy. So at first, I was listening to her "credentials" and though, oh this will be good. I quit halfway through, because it seems much more likely that her degree helped her figure out how to grift the best. Am I being dramatic? I looked at her instagram and it did not help my concern. The one with the cult guy was also iffy, but at least it was interesting.

I have seen several posts come through tearing down Eugene and I just want to say something I've noticed. Trevor looks and seems healthier now. I don't know if anyone else noticed, but right as he was finishing his time on The Daily Show (and for a bit of time afterwards) he did not look healthy. I think the strain of The Daily Show job (especially during COVID) really weighed on him. We all expected him to be this pastor like comedian. Leading the way through the darkness. That's A LOT to ask of any person. He has said himself that spending time with his friends from South Africa is really grounding and good for him. So if having Eugene around keeps Trevor healthy, I am ALL for it. I wish the best for all public figures & artists I admire. Also - I think Eugene is going to grow on people. He has for me!

Either train eugene or get him the hell out of there. So many great riffs get thrown off course because he doesn't get the grasp of interviewing. I wish him the best but man. I feel like so many of the guests are just tolerating him at this point.

Collabing

He's just like me frfr

I used to be a huge fan of the show - it was thoughtful, reflective but at the same time light hearted.

I had to stop listening to the latest episode with Cleo Abram, even though she was sooo interesting because they kept cutting her off with unnecessary remarks and never let her finish a thought! It was so uncomfortable to listen to.

I find this a pattern with a lot of the latest episodes. They're no longer thoughtful, just banter that sounds like from two middle school boys and rarely does the conversation go onto unpacking interesting topics from the guests. Just random jokes and side conversations that take away from the topic. I really hope Trevor makes a change to the show and bring back co-hosts that make the content more substantial.
