Chapter 1: Who is Eugene Khoza and what inspired his podcasting journey?
So what made you decide to go into podcasting? Decide to go into it? Is that your podcast? Is that your podcast voice?
I'm going to have to edit around all of Eugene's veneck. Okay. Because how do you do subtitles on a podcast? Any veneck that you say, I'm going to just throw in an American guy's voice there.
So you'll be like, but Epstein. And then instead of like, the guy ends up with something, then he'll be like, Epstein, he did it. I'm just going to tell the audience, every time you hear this voice, he spoke in another language. And I didn't want to lose the authenticity of the conversation. So I didn't edit around it at all. So there you go. That's funny. Because you have to do subtitles.
But I want you to know that it's subtitles. You see me.
This is What Now? with Trevor Noah. Maybe you want more water.
Just do something natural. Oh, would you like some water, Eugene? Oh, thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Go to a principal's office. Did your mom have a car? No. Okay.
No. Because I was wondering why one. I was like, damn, this is a crazy system. Okay.
So you're getting in a taxi. Yes. That's why she has to pick one. No, no. Also... It's what's going to happen in town when we get there. What's going to happen? You'll see. Okay, sorry. And then she would come to school and then talk to the principal and then I'd be like, there she is. And then she would come to my class. Would you know who she's coming to fetch? Of course.
It's me. No, but you said there's a roster and you rotate.
No, no. We're not at the same school at the same time.
Oh, okay, okay. Got it, got it, got it.
So she'd come.
I thought your mom was doing like a lottery system.
No, no, no. You're all at the same school and then your mom would walk in. You just see her head past those big windows at school and then they'll be like, Eugene, your mom is here. And I'd be like, oh man, my mom. take my backpack and we're out. And then we would get, then we'd high five each other in the passage there. Then we'd get in a taxi and then off we go to town.
