If I Ruled the World: Creating Chaos with Anele and Sizwe [VIDEO]

Podcast cover

What Now? with Trevor Noah

In this episode of "What Now? with Trevor Noah," Trevor Noah, Anele Mdoda, and Sizwe Dhlomo engage in a lively discussion, starting with a humorous debate about the lesser of two evils: being a secret spouse or discovering one's partner has a secret spouse. The conversation transitions to Anele's recent marriage and how it has changed her life. The main segment features the game "If I Ruled the World," where Sizwe proposes a system of simultaneous global elections with winners taking all, sparking a debate about its potential benefits and drawbacks. Anele then suggests a world where everyone lives within a 10-minute commute of their workplace, leading to a discussion about urban planning and societal limitations. Finally, Trevor introduces the concept of a world where no one knows their child's parentage, aiming to diminish the importance of bloodlines and promote equality, which is met with skepticism and humorous resistance from the others.
