The first time, 0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:57.960 the first time I went to south By, I wasn't 0:03:57.960 --> 0:03:59.920 even like on any sort of showcase or nothing. I 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:02.840 just with a friend. Yeah it was me and you 0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:06.200 remember my my rap homey Vix. We we just rolled 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:11.720 up there and a torrential downpour had happened, like the 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:13.760 day that we got in text. I'm not I'm not 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:16.640 talking about like regular like yo, it rained. I mean 0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:20.880 like streets were flooded type rain. Right, So so we 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:23.120 were like, all right, this sucks. This is like a 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:26.720 bad Southwest experience. But we waited for the rain to end, 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:28.279 and we were like, yo, we got a bag full 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:31.440 of CDs and some prayers, let's just go anyway. Right, So, 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:33.920 like we're walking the streets and slowly people start coming 0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:36.920 back outside and ship and you know, the streets are 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:40.840 drying up, and like we're walking by this street and 0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:43.720 somebody yells out at me like hey, yo, what's up, 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:46.159 And like me and Micks turned around and I'm not 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:48.920 wearing my glasses, I can't see ship. But Vix is like, yo, 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:52.480 that's already the rugged man. I'm like where He's like yeah, 0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:54.960 he's like flagging us over. So like we started walking 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:57.400 over to him already the ruggy man standing outside of 0:04:57.440 --> 0:05:00.400 some bar. He's wearing a bathroom for who knows what 0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:04.159 reasons like that. But then he DAPs me up. He 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:07.400 DAPs me up and starts talking to me like he's 0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:10.240 known me for fifty years, and I'm just sitting there 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:13.120 like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So afterwards, you know, it 0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:15.200 was just it was just that sort of exchange. We're 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:17.680 walking back at my homie big just like yo, do 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:19.920 you know r A?

Oh yeah, 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:30.560 there's some like wild So this episode we only talked 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:33.240 about the news a little bit because the world is 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:36.200 a ghetto, and this time about some dog shit that 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:41.400 we happening. Yeah, y'alling pretty much. Guess what we're gonna 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:45.680 you know some of the things I talked about Texas 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:49.520 well with Texas Ship. So I mean, I'm sorry, Like, 0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:54.840 so you got this, uh this from Yahoo News. A 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:59.720 suburban Fort Worth house runoff Republican debate. The Republicans are 0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:02.640 debate a bill that would give women the death penalty 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:09.000 for abortion. Um, is that I mean it's not like 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:12.240 here like if you have an abortion, We're gonna fucking 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:15.600 murder you. That's that's super pro life. You didn't know. 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:23.760 You didn't know, that's that old Testament pro life. We're 0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:27.520 just so pro life you might kill him, motherfucker. I 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:32.840 mean that's not John Brown did like all your throat 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:38.800 but in all, in all seriousness though, like do you remember, 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:42.000 well maybe you don't, but like I remember when Trump 0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:45.520 was running in and he was doing an interview with 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:49.200 Chris Matthews, and like Chris Matthews asked him like, so 0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:52.040 do you think that there should be punishment for women 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:55.960 who get abortion? And Trump was like like, yeah, let's 0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:57.520 do it. Yeah, I think women there's got to be 0:07:57.560 --> 0:07:59.400 some punishment. They have to pay, some sort of price, 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:02.920 something something up. He wouldn't specify what, but then it 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:06.320 looked like he got the talking points from like the 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:11.760 you know, the anti abortion lobby, but they were like, no, no, 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:14.960 we don't don't call that far yet, don't go that 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:17.760 far yet. So he walked it back and I don't know, 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:20.080 I don't know what this. You know. I think Texas, 0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:23.120 the Texas Republicans are just feeling themselves with the fascism 0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:24.880 ship right now, you know what I mean, They're like, Yo, 0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:29.040 we're making gay kids illegal. Uh sucking. You can pick 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:32.040 on trans people, all right, Yeah, let's kill women if 0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:34.600 they get abortions now too. I'm telling you, man, like 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:39.560 these motherfucker like Trump is like a week away from 0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:41.640 just straight up yelling the N word at one of 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:45.319 these at the rally, and like what's people's reactions inter me, 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:48.200 We shall see, but it's coming. It's coming. It's interesting 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:52.760 how that like the decision you know that we have 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:55.360 to like finalize about whether we're going to live into 0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:59.199 democracy or under fascism is not even all is happening 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:02.800 in Republican primaries. Like it's not even a real conversation 0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:05.319 that Democrats are left leaning folks are part of. It's 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:07.680 not up. It's like not it's up to them to 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:10.520 decide whether that they're going to be an overtly fascist 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:14.720 party or just like you know, crypto fascist is kind 0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:17.839 of generally shitty. You know, we're gonna be the party 0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:20.160 of George Bush? Are we going to be the party 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:26.960 of um? I don't or whatever. I don't think that's 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:29.560 a debate. I think Trump, I mean, Trump is like 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:35.120 crushing every everybody in any sort of primary pole. So 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:37.679 he's gonna get the nomination should he choose to accept it. 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:43.280 And I mean they're just really being embraced. I know, 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:47.800 we haven't talked about the rest of Ukraine situation much, 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:55.920 but the Republicans are being super brazen in their like support, 0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:59.160 not eat their support of like Putin, but not even 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:02.440 on the brow of like anything that's like policy driven, 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:05.240 but it like seems to be like strictly like yo, 0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:10.080 Putin doesn't like the games, and you know what I mean, 0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:12.520 and he's a strong man, so we funk with the 0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:15.600 better better better to be that than a Democrat, you know, 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:18.120 like like all that sort of ship. Now again, I 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:20.520 hate having to give like any sort of disclaimers like yo, 0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:23.800 I'm not really I'm not like a Democrat like that, 0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:25.560 and I don't you know, but at the end of 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:28.600 the day, it's like one team or one side is 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:32.960 clearly clearly going in the direction that it just seems 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:37.200 like it's it's it's like it's why I'm not you know, 0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:39.280 the story that we're going to talk about later on 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:44.160 that I won't spoil, but like it's why that situation 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:48.440 doesn't really have me like shocked or surprised or anything 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:51.319 like that, because like the whole entire veil of civility 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:53.880 in the corb has been that ship was, that show 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:56.360 was out the window years ago. Are you talking about? 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:59.360 What are you talking about next? I'm talking about what 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:03.800 the five fingers said to the motherfucking face.

Are you gonna get 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:54.079 through it? But I feel it feels like going through 0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:58.079 that Willie Walker tunnel. We're like, okay, well, is it raining, 0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:05.600 is it snowing? Okay, So ladies and gentlemen, we're gonna 0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:09.600 we're gonna, I guess we're gonna talk about this, uh uh, 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:13.240 Chris Rock and Will Smith's lapping situation, because at the 0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:16.560 end of the day, it is definitely like some TMZ 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:19.120 Hollywood shipped as far as I'm concerned, But just like 0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:21.640 the discourse around it, it seems to be kind of 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:24.000 like a Rorschach test in a way in which a 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:27.160 lot of different people across the country's are seeing a 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:29.760 lot of different things and projecting a lot of personal 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:34.480 things onto the situation. It's going on racial lines, it's 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:38.360 going on ideological lines, gender line. I mean, I think 0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:41.520 I think there's a lot to unpack and discuss there. 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:44.040 So we're gonna get to that. We're also gonna get 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:46.760 on some other stories that we have come across this week. 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:48.959 But before we get to that, we're going to take 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:50.679 a little break and pay some bills. All right, So 0:12:50.840 --> 0:13:02.800 how at y'all after the job? All right? So we 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:05.760 are back labal Frank a dope knife waiting our reparation. 0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:07.520 So would you you want to get into the do 0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:09.720 you want to get into the big Willie style. First, sure, 0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:12.199 I mean, like my take on this, it's mostly in 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:19.000 meta take um about the hot take industrial complex um, 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:22.600 which I tried my best, like I'm very judicious with 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:25.000 in the show, because ultimately, you know, the hot take 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:28.440 industrial complex effectively everybody trying to like get the hottest 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:32.600 take out there as quickly as possible to build social capital. Like, oh, 0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:34.400 out of viral tweet, I got a bunch of followers 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:37.480 or literally in the form of like YouTube reaction videos 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:40.480 and you know n y t think pieces or whatever 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:44.800 that actually generate like material capital for people. And so like, 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:46.800 I just as I think about this and the way 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:49.840 that everyone rushes to have like the hottest take um 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:52.599 to get you know, capital various sorts, Just like what 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:55.800 would it mean for us as a society to just 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:59.040 like wait, like twenty four hours, Like if it was 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:02.360 like the Purge, only for twenty four hours, you weren't 0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:05.920 allowed to have like any hot takes. Don't like what 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:08.400 happened the night before, Just like just go to your 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:11.600 room and reflect on what you saw and just come 0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:14.720 back in twenty four hours after you've actually seriously given 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:17.320 it some thought and not just like what's the most 0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:20.160 inflammator racing. I can say it and get people arguing 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:22.880 in my mentions. So that's also like watching all this 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:25.520 go down and everyone just saying, like you said, very 0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:29.000 disparate like interpretation the situation. I'm just like, all y'all, 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:31.200 Nigga is trying to get clout, all y'all, Nigga is 0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:33.840 trying to get a like a deal with crack dot 0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:37.880 com or something like more insightful. Not what you're saying, 0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:41.080 it's new. I mean some of this, some of these memes. 0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:45.640 I'm sorry, some of these beams are hilarious. Ass I 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:48.520 just I mean, if I could just be what it 0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:52.280 about it. But you're not wrong though you're not hot. 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:57.080 Take Industrial Complex that one, you know, like one excuse 0:14:57.120 --> 0:14:59.040 that will make for it is memes. You're allowed to 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:02.200 have hot. Takee memes like jumping, like with burning the 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:04.760 mittens thing. That was the most glorious ever two hours 0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:07.640 of my life. Oh you know it's like hit me, 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:12.160 you know, hit me? Oh yes, I was out stroking 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:16.280 my face as I made that sound for our listeners. Um, 0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:18.600 but no, I mean, like memes are cool, though I 0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:20.720 appreciate hopping on a meme way. I was having a 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:25.360 good New meme template. Well, well, I mean this ship 0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:28.960 is like the Jordan's cry faced me but on crack 0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:32.920 right now because heads are pumping out sup covenient gold. 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:35.960 But okay, so so I get your I get what 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:38.600 your you know, opinion of it is. But there's definitely 0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:41.760 some aspects of it that I'm curious as to how 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:46.600 you feel, as to how you know you Luke, it's 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:49.160 not about having It is not a hot take. We 0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:53.280 do not. Our show comes out once a week, so 0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:56.760 we cannot keep it that current that we can like 0:15:56.880 --> 0:15:59.640 do hot takes anything we say at least fifteen or 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:04.280 sixteen because I said it so right now, we're working 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:07.600 at the bedroom that the ship happens. I'll play along 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:09.800 and I'll like, what questions do you have about I 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:12.600 feel about it? I'll answer, but let me go. Let 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:16.080 me just say that I'm very smart about like four things. 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:19.840 That's it. That's all lolling other things I'm a dumb 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:22.520 ass about, and I don't have like a formed opinion 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:24.680 where I'm like, you know, this is one of the 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:26.840 four things about which I am smart. I shut the 0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:29.920 funk up. I'll say, Okay, look, but I'm not the 0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:32.480 spirit of the game I will, I will form an opinion. 0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:37.000 But let's just this has nothing to do like imagine, 0:16:37.040 --> 0:16:39.560 It's just you would be having this conversation like I 0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:42.480 I will. The things that I'm wondering what your opinion 0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:46.600 is is literally like you personally, not what you think 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:51.160 is the right thing or the what is the best strategy, 0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:54.240 just like how you feel. Like So, for example, you 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:57.120 know what the situation was about Will Chris Rock said 0:16:57.160 --> 0:17:00.920 something about g I, Jane and Jada. It could be involved, 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:07.920 and she's got alopecia and she was obviously upset about it. 0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:14.239 So Will's Will's uh slap word assault, whatever the hell 0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:18.119 you want to call it. That withstanding just that initial 0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:22.560 thing of like her getting ridiculed for her hair, going 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:26.080 through this condition, being a woman, being in the room, 0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:28.320 being in that moment, in that situation, How do you 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:33.480 feel about um or or do you have like the 0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:35.480 stance of the laing stance. I have seen some people 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:36.879 take me like, oh, they're all rich, I don't give 0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:40.119 a fuck. Well my stance is that So I'm getting 0:17:40.720 --> 0:17:46.680 who thoughts are swirling, they're the cosmos. So I'm gonna listen, 0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:51.399 listen no on what so so the abolition this to me. 0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:53.040 I bring it back all the time because this is 0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:55.399 the frame. This is my one of my primary political 0:17:55.400 --> 0:18:00.320 frameworks is understanding accountability and the problem with accountability that 0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:06.280 is set like uniformly across the nation. So everyone's weighing 0:18:06.280 --> 0:18:08.240 in about what they think should happen when they think 0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:11.879 this means who was wrong, who was right, etcetera. Whereas 0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:15.640 I think, through an abolition is lens, you would think 0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:18.600 about what does accountability and right and wrong meaning for 0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:20.840 this community of people. So it's really not so back 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:23.080 to like, oh, it's none of my business. It's because 0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:26.320 like in a world where like we deal with harm, 0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:30.160 I think more productively and transformatively, like you know, Will 0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:33.439 and Jada and all Tyler Perry whoever pulled up and 0:18:33.560 --> 0:18:37.840 was like you know, you know, holding Denzel. Yes, So 0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:39.280 all these people would have sat down and been like, 0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:43.280 I let's talk this through. Like it's not even a 0:18:43.359 --> 0:18:46.240 signing signing who was right and wrong? Just like this 0:18:46.320 --> 0:18:47.800 is how what you did hurt me, and this is 0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:50.040 how what you did hurt me. Y'all tap it up, 0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:52.600 work it out. Everybody agrees to be better in the future. 0:18:52.760 --> 0:18:55.080 Instead what we have now, it's because we are so 0:18:55.280 --> 0:18:57.760 used to a system where like the federal government can 0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:01.480 tell you, oh, you leaked the ship about our war crimes, 0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:03.280 you are a criminal and you are going to jail 0:19:03.320 --> 0:19:07.160 unless you know, latterly deciding what's harmful. Um. People replicate 0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:10.360 that logic on fucking Twitter and Ship by being like, oh, 0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:15.119 it's my opinion what happened here over a fairly benign 0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:18.520 situation that could easily be handled by these adults of 0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:21.320 you know, immense resources, every I could just sit down. 0:19:21.520 --> 0:19:23.880 But you know they're celebrities. Oh everyone, you know, because 0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:26.400 they celebrities, everyone thinks they should have their paint. So 0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:30.760 I you know, oh, was what Chris Rock said, you 0:19:30.800 --> 0:19:34.520 know wrong? You know, was Jada Pinkett Smith being too 0:19:34.520 --> 0:19:37.400 sensitive and and taking it so seriously. It's like, that's 0:19:37.400 --> 0:19:39.760 for them, that's for them to work out. That's not 0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:42.679 you know, the second question about it, because that's for 0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:46.080 them between each other to like have a dialogue of like, hey, 0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:47.719 this is what you said hurt me, Like, hey, this 0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:49.800 is why what I said I think was okay, And 0:19:49.840 --> 0:19:52.080 I actually I see your opinion and know, you know, 0:19:52.080 --> 0:19:55.119 I'm sorry or whatever. You know. So here's the second 0:19:55.160 --> 0:19:58.160 question I have for you, Jen Pinkett didn't say ship 0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:03.359 Like all we have is like a three second camera 0:20:03.400 --> 0:20:07.280 shot of her rolling her eyes and looking uncomfortable. So 0:20:07.320 --> 0:20:10.960 do you think that there's anything to Will Smith in 0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:15.439 his actions perhaps like silencing her in a way like 0:20:15.520 --> 0:20:18.040 I wasn't, you know, just too to flesh that out 0:20:18.040 --> 0:20:21.280 more like I wasn't even gonna, you know, really like 0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:23.639 get that in depth into this topic. But Kareem Abdul 0:20:23.720 --> 0:20:27.879 Jabbar had dropped a sub stack article today where he 0:20:27.960 --> 0:20:32.240 was just talking about his Oh yeah, Kareem Abdul got Substack, 0:20:32.320 --> 0:20:38.400 he'd be dropping flames. Well, um, so he said with 0:20:38.440 --> 0:20:42.760 a single petulant blow. He advocated violence, diminished women, insulted 0:20:42.760 --> 0:20:46.959 the entertainment industry, and perpetuated stereotypes about the black community. 0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:52.160 And I mean to an extent that that I kind 0:20:52.160 --> 0:20:55.280 of understand, you know, Like I, for one, I don't care. 0:20:55.359 --> 0:20:57.240 It's like this is not a situation where I think 0:20:58.040 --> 0:21:02.679 motherfucker's needs to be like, oh, really concerned about like yo, 0:21:03.240 --> 0:21:05.639 how do we look? You know what I'm saying, because 0:21:05.640 --> 0:21:09.120 it's like, you know, other fuckers think you're every stereotype. 0:21:09.160 --> 0:21:13.240 Before Will Smith slapped Chris Rock, so yeah, I don't. 0:21:13.359 --> 0:21:15.960 I don't really know about that concern. But as far 0:21:16.040 --> 0:21:20.480 as like perpetuating violence and kind of giving the green 0:21:20.560 --> 0:21:22.639 light to some other ship, I know, all these fucking 0:21:22.720 --> 0:21:26.800 Joe Rogan comedians are like piste off, Like I can't 0:21:26.800 --> 0:21:28.639 believe you do that. What if somebody comes to me 0:21:28.680 --> 0:21:30.320 at the show after I call it the end word, 0:21:30.720 --> 0:21:39.560 like whatever. But I'm talking more just like interactions in life, 0:21:39.760 --> 0:21:42.880 because like these things, these big cultural mote like whether 0:21:43.000 --> 0:21:46.280 we want to accept these like celect the celebrity bullshit 0:21:46.960 --> 0:21:50.400 as being celebrity bullshit or not. It's like what American 0:21:50.440 --> 0:21:53.000 culture is based off. So these are like cultural moments. 0:21:53.040 --> 0:21:54.919 These are like you know what I'm saying, like like 0:21:54.960 --> 0:21:58.800 when these things happen, like they affect, they trickled down 0:21:59.160 --> 0:22:02.360 in effect how people who behave and interact with each 0:22:02.400 --> 0:22:06.000 other and ship like that. So I mean, yeah, I 0:22:06.040 --> 0:22:07.960 don't know how much of a good look it is. 0:22:08.240 --> 0:22:10.960 It's like, Yo, somebody says something you don't like, go 0:22:11.160 --> 0:22:14.520 slap them. That's a completely different Like I don't think 0:22:14.520 --> 0:22:17.680 that I'm making like a judgment on like Yo, this 0:22:17.760 --> 0:22:20.000 is how Will Smith should have reacted. I'm not I'm 0:22:20.000 --> 0:22:22.600 not telling anybody how they should have reacted or saying 0:22:22.640 --> 0:22:25.240 what my opinion is about that at all? But he 0:22:25.320 --> 0:22:28.480 reacted away and it's going to have an effect. It's 0:22:28.520 --> 0:22:31.560 going to have effect. Really, I blame the Oscars. If 0:22:31.560 --> 0:22:33.960 the Oscars hadn't been filming that moment, it wouldn't be 0:22:34.040 --> 0:22:35.960 about it, It It wouldn't be a negative impact on the 0:22:35.960 --> 0:22:38.719 way people see black people, on what children think, conflict 0:22:38.760 --> 0:22:42.359 resolutions would like, whatever. So it's the Oscar's fault for 0:22:45.440 --> 0:22:48.280 I'm buying this in the fucking you know, in the 0:22:49.240 --> 0:22:53.239 getting rich people want to have an opinion boon. I 0:22:53.280 --> 0:22:58.720 think Will Smith was wrong, but no, you know what, 0:22:59.680 --> 0:23:02.600 I think it was Chris Rock himself in a bit 0:23:02.640 --> 0:23:06.920 that he did while talking about Ojen from the nineteen 0:23:07.440 --> 0:23:12.119 stand up comedy special Bigger and Blacker, And he was 0:23:12.200 --> 0:23:14.640 like talking about o j and he had this refrain 0:23:14.720 --> 0:23:17.760
