    as a South African performer, artist & comedy lover, I’ve struggled with the airwaves being essentially American. The content, the format is largely one-dimensional. Then came Trevor & Eugene and inhliziyo yam’ igcwele. Halala bafo 👋🏽

  • Good show but……

    I do like this show but and I rarely critic but please get Cristina off this show; she takes away from it rather than add. How does a sexist man hater get away so much. This show will be cancelled if it was the other way around and a man called women chimps. She comes across as condescending, a hater of men and entitled. Which man hurt you so much? I have a limited amount of time and I tune in to listen to Trevor and not Cristina,

  • Eugene

    I am happy to see Trevor has a close friendship with Eugene but their banter is hard to follow and Eugene’s laugh is grating in my earbuds. I love Trevor’s humor and insights and the interesting guests he’s had on the show. However, I am sad to unfollow the show until Eugene steps away from being co-host.
