Summary

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

The two pull the curtain back on the 2012 tour that introduced Trevor to stand-up in the United States, and Fluffy explains why mentorship comes naturally, as long as you surround yourself with the comedians who really make you laugh.
