      He is amazing.
      He is probably such an amazing partner. He's funny in himself and has so much to say but also knows how to listen and he never gets flustered and angry.
      When he talks to people who don't share his opinion - like Tomi Lahren- he's still so patient and respectful.
      He should be president (of South Africa not America, he wasn't born in America and belongs to us 😂) 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦❤️

    One thing I love about Trevor's interviews is that he invests himself in the work of the interviewees. Such as having read, listened and/or watched their art, backstory etc. #ALittleGoesALongWay

    • @cuterpooter
      @cuterpooter 5 років тому +4

      YES! I've always hated interviewers who get completely baffled by something their guest says (Here & Now's Robin Young, Stephen Colbert on his show). It drives me crazy. I know we all have interests and things we spend time enjoying, but if they're a guest on YOUR SHOW the least you can do is kinda know who they are and what they do. "Oh, so you do the hippity-hop clothing lines? That's nice, dear, that's nice." So cringey and awkward.

    Right before 5:56 I thought, as Trevor was asking about her movies and broadening the subject, I shout in my head "Storytelling!" And then 2 seconds later she's talking about storytelling! Boom! That's the reality today, storytelling is religion, WWJD but with updated heroes. The flipside of storytelling is story eliciting, getting others to tell you their stories. If you can do that, you're a preacher of the modern religion. I'm a minister of storytelling in my daily life, Trevor is the same on a grand scale. Try it yourself, find what's interesting, and ask, draw the stories out. People need to retell them, and we may enjoy them and pass them on. Storytellers are the facilitators of cultural transmission.

      This is an apples to oranges comparison. Beyonce is very talented, just not in the same way as Janae. Beyonce likes the spotlight. She likes to be front and center so her choices are bold. Janae has the subtlety that appeals to deep thinkers. There is room for both so I don't throw shade to anyone just because they are not to my tastes or standards. I like a lot of different artists in many genres, yet not one has pleased me with every product created. That's okay, I still appreciate the effort, especially when it comes to talents that I don't possess.

      Someone missed the point entirely. Quit shaming others to bring her up.
