Dom Gabriel rose to fame on Netflix’s Perfect Match, but his story runs much deeper than reality TV. Dom—who we’re now calling Dominique after this episode—opens up to Isaac Rochell about growing up in Toronto with a single mom, the pain of being abandoned by his father, and how that experience shaped his drive to protect the people he loves.
He talks about becoming the man of the house at just 10 years old, why he paints his nails, and why real masculinity is about showing up—not showing off. Dom also reflects on growing up in a rough neighborhood—including getting stabbed outside a McDonald’s—how he found the strength to keep going after a near-death experience, and how it all shaped his definition of what it means to be a man.

Brooke Schofield - "I Was Wrong About Those Tweets"
Can people change? Brooke Schofield sits down with Isaac Rochell for her first in-depth conversation about the resurfaced tweets from 2013. This conversation isn’t about defending the past—it’s about owning it, learning from it, and pushing forward with humility.
When old tweets resurfaced—tweets Brooke posted at 16 defending George Zimmerman and the killing of Trayvon Martin—they triggered a wave of backlash that threatened to end her career. As the co-host of Cancelled, a podcast built around confronting culture and controversy, Brooke suddenly found herself on the receiving end of the very thing she often talks about: being cancelled.
Isaac brings his unique perspective as a Black man and father into the dialogue, creating space for accountability and honest reflection. Together, they talk about her upbringing in Arizona and how that environment shaped her early—and deeply misguided—views.
This isn’t a redemption arc, and it’s not a takedown—it’s a real-time look at how someone comes to terms with harm they’ve caused, learns from it, and tries to do better moving forward.
