Summary

To reflect on the moment of turning 40, Trevor sits down in South Africa with two of his closest friends, Anele Mdoda and Sizwe Dhlomo. They debate whether birthdays even matter, whether it’s possible to reinvent yourself, and whether Trevor’s age influenced him leaving The Daily Show. The three friends also dissect two of the biggest stories of reinvention happening in the news this week, Rachel Dolezal’s recent foray into OnlyFans and OpenAI’s Sora launch.
