Then I was home 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:31.760 for forty eight hours and had to go to Vegas 0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:34.679 UM to do a site visit for an upcoming partnership 0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:37.000 we're doing for my other job with n A.

And I've been home for 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:45.000 like what to three days. It's been nice. We've been 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:48.920 over look. I was in Austin, New York, Chicago. New 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:52.679 York was fantastic. Austin was fantastic too. So everything is 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:55.400 going smooth. Now we're back in the studio. Kenda was here, 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:58.600 Kendall saying hello to the people, y'all. K the voice 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:00.239 that y'all had to hit him, the voice, y'all, y'all 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:02.280 know that he's here, and we're glad that you guys 0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:05.440 came to join us today. Because everything is a globe 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:07.760 but we're gonna start in Florida since Florid already talked 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:09.560 about Florida, because you'll know we're gonna close, we're gonna 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:11.720 start there. Well we might as well because you see 0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:13.959 in Florida. That's fine. We can start in Florida. And 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:17.480 so what happened in Florida recently? What didn't there, Well, 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:19.440 there's two things that happened. We can start with what 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:22.840 happened today and then we can backtrack to what happened 0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:25.720 last week with you know their dear old Governor Rohn 0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:29.720 de Santis um a k A. Patrick from Yeah, So, 0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:34.000 rohnd de Santis today officially signed um the controversial Don't 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.920 Say Gay bill. He signed it into law and tell 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:40.400 the press conference around it and had preschool children and 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:43.720 um like kindergarten children surrounded him and making them clap 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:47.120 and applaud this bill being signed into law. So um, 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:50.240 and that is from kindergarten to third grade? Great, yes, 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:55.520 kindergarten to third grade, which is utterly preponderous, just preposterous, 0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:58.160 It's just ridiculous. It is just not going to be 0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:01.080 a safe space for young kids who identify as something 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:04.120 different from uh what you what we considered a normal 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:06.960 So if they han't strange feelings and they have nobody 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:09.360 to talk to, they have no outlet at the school 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:12.920 it is, or or or a counsel or what have you, 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:15.280 it's just gonna be fucked up. I'm laughing at Bobby 0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:17.480 Quiver said they had them with bodyguards. That was funny. 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:22.599 It's just ridiculous. But well, last week he also signed 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:26.080 a bill into law requiring high school students to complete 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:29.560 a financial literacy class before they can graduate, which I 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:32.440 actually think is a good thing. Um, And that's why 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:35.560 I'm a little concerned, like what's the real intention behind it? 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:39.120 Or maybe it's a smoke screen because it's still Rhonda Santis, 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:41.720 you know what I mean. So Um, although I think 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:43.520 the bill is going to be great. I think financial 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:46.520 literacy should definitely be taught in school to talk talked 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:49.520 excuse me. It teaches you about investments and how to 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:51.600 balance a checkbook, even though we don't really use check 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:53.680 books anymore, but just how to balance, you know, it's 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:56.440 accounting different things like that teaches you how to invest. 0:04:57.080 --> 0:05:00.279 So financial literacy is very important and I think that great. 0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:04.280 He's gonna it's a statewide thing that he did um, 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:05.960 but I don't know if maybe he looked at some 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:09.160 demographics in terms of you know, black and brown folks 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:11.400 and realize that maybe you know all these people. This 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:13.280 this demo is not going to really pass. I don't 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:15.280 I don't know what the intention behind it is. It's 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:17.200 something good, so it's got me a little weary with 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:20.120 his track record and how scam artists he is. He 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:22.680 just gave out something good to try to smoke screen. 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:25.640 Is something bad that he did because that passing signing 0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:27.600 that Bill said don't say gay Bill. That's kind of 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:30.960 sucked up, kind of he just trying to balance it off. 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:33.960 I believe that I do agree with you about financial 0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:36.599 literacy because I wish I had known more about financing 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:40.720 when I was young. But like you, you can't do 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:43.400 nothing for me now because everything I think now that 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:45.960 you do has a plot or employ there's a there's 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:48.240 an overplay for the underplay. I don't trust you, so 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:50.400 you fun my trust issues up, so I don't believe 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:53.520 in you. And Florida I need you to follow suit. 0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:57.040 Don't believe it. But they don't say gay Bill. It's very, 0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:59.080 very scary because I know Texas is trying to do. 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:01.480 But they stopped it in Texas, right, No, no, no, 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:04.320 they stopped it in Georgia. Okay, And I mean and 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:07.359 most we'll see how things play out, because most legislative 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:09.640 sessions are like coming to an end anyway right now, 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:12.480 at least in the Southern States. Um. But it did 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:16.480 not get any traction. In Georgia. They said basically said, hell, no, 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:18.600 we're not doing this. I say, do y'all know how 0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:25.440 many gazes in Georgia? Good God? Well or that to ship? Um, 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:28.440 it is tragic. And I'm telling you, if we're gonna march, 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:31.040 if my compunity gonna march on that against that, I'm 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:33.599 all in for that. I marched against that. So there's 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:36.040 been several protests, but those are people from Florida. I'm 0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:38.160 talking about. When the big wigs get involved and say 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:40.640 let's have a rally, everybody come from here and there, 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:43.160 from near and far, I'll go and march for that 0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:45.239 because that is near and dear to my heart, because 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:47.760 that's the youth. And we need to try to really 0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:50.520 do as much as we can for Generation Z because 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:53.200 you do know that Z is the last letter alphabet. Okay, 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:55.400 what are we going after that. Well, no, I'm trying 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:57.600 to tell you, like those marches have they've been happening 0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:02.240 like but just for people in no, like across the country. Yeah, 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:05.600 I ain't got the especially because you know Disney's CEO, 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:08.480 Bob Chapac, I think that's how you say his last name. 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:15.640 He came under scrutiny for his remarks. Okay, I'm sorry, 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:18.160 my volume is a little low. Is that better? Well, 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:21.120 because you'd be complaining to this too loud? See that, 0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:23.320 do be loud in my ear what I'm saying. That's okay, 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:25.960 that's better. I can hear me. Can you guys hear me? 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:30.640 But no, the Disney ceo was has come under fire, 0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:33.480 and Gabrielle Union has actually come out and because she 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:35.760 just did the Cheaper by the Dozen movie, she spoke 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:38.920 out publicly against the Disney ceo. Help Raven Simone hurt. 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:41.240 She had her whole cast and crew walk off um 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:44.760 set filming behind because you know, basically, the Disney CEO 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:47.640 said this isn't my problem kind of thing, and the 0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:50.800 Disney actually backed a lot of Republicans that sponsored the bill. 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:57.080 Well here's the thing. I said this before. There are 0:07:57.160 --> 0:07:59.000 some things that we should be fighting over, and some 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:02.480 things that just as important to me as a part 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:05.720 of the LGBT community. Uh, that is very something that 0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:07.840 we should be fighting for because it's going to help 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:09.960 the youth. All that what bad froom. I can use 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:11.680 a baby, if I gotta pee in you in a way, 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:15.000 yeah I will. You will be a pissy as hell 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:18.720 fucking with me. So those are not that big to me, 0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:22.280 but this is very important because the youth need an 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:25.400 outlet or the suicide rate is already high, especially during 0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:27.360 the pandemic when people really had nowhere to go and 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:29.880 nobody to talk to. This is younger just gonna make 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:32.760 it explode. And in kindergarten you may not know how 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:35.680 you identify how you feel, but by the third grade, 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:38.240 you can know that you feel different from other little 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:41.120 boys or little girls and you need somebody to talk 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:42.840 to it, just in case you can't talk to somebody 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:46.160 in your family or somebody your mother father. Because I 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:47.880 hate to say this, but in the black name, in 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:52.400 the black household, I only know black. Sometimes it's safe 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:54.320 for you to say that your ax murder or rapist 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:55.839 than it is for you to say that you're gay 0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:58.400 or trance and that's screwed up, but it's the truth. 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:01.840 I think it's a matter too of just have allowing 0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:04.120 kids to have outlets, you know, I think all kids 0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:06.840 should have, like a creative outlet. Kids should also feel 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:08.840 like they can have a safe space outside of their 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:10.679 house if they don't feel as so, it's a safe space. 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:13.439 So if you don't give you know, kids ways to 0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:17.640 express themselves creative outlets, different things like that comes out, 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:20.360 setting them to fail, and you know what I mean, 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:28.280 they explode. Speaking of explosions. Speaking of explosions, did we 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:31.839 watch how fantastic those oscars was last night? We wanted 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:34.000 the black Oscars and god damn it, we got it. 0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:39.599 I am not making jokes about it, because, you know what, 0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:43.040 we all see something different. Let me start with the 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:45.160 good before we get to all the other ship. Can 0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:47.800 I just say that Amy Schumer and Regina Hall and 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:51.920 Wan the Psykes did a great job hosting UM and 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:53.959 that Amy Shuman was just funny as hell to me, 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:56.520 she really was the one that she was talking. I 0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:58.319 was like, we was a little shaky bout, but she 0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:01.240 really delivered as every gene. Oh my god, that joke 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:03.320 that she did about the pandemic was She's pending all 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:06.439 the fan being down. I thought that was hilarious. It 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:09.400 was good. I always knew Regina. I mean, like I said, 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:12.360 I've seen Regina Hall do other award shows hosting them. 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:15.880 She's a phenomenal host. She's funny, she's authentic, she's genuine. 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:18.400 It always she always lands and whatever she's doing. But 0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:21.719 overall it was really good. Though it was it was 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:26.040 over quest Love Want Oscar Listen. I was so happy 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:30.679 for him. The events leading up to his Oscar win 0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:35.240 was you know, a little wild. Um, I'm just happy 0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:38.000 he won an Oscar for a documentary feel about you know, 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:42.000 the Summer of Soul, which was about this historic festival 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:44.760 that happened in Harlem for black people, you know what 0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:47.640 I mean. This was probably one of the more diverse 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:50.679 Oscars that I've seen in terms of award wins and 0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:55.240 overall representation. Just the you know, actual run of show 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:58.480 was just beautifully done. So kudos to Will Packer. Um, 0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:01.040 it was really good. Was a really good and that's 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:03.400 who we cannot site put to the side on this. 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:06.280 Will Packer produced this and this was the second time 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:08.720 a black man actually produced the Oscars. The first one 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:11.839 was in I think this was the first time. No, 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:13.839 it was actually a second. I mentioned the guy's name, 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:15.480 but it just didn't get a bunch of hoopla like 0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:18.280 Will Packers got a bunch of hooplah. And so we 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:20.120 want to just acknowledge that Will Packer put on the 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:25.439 great show. It ran pretty much smoothly until the until 0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:28.760 the slap her around the world. But let's talk about 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:32.360 the fashions. Lauren, who was your favorite dress? So my 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:35.800 I have actually two favorites. My my top two was 0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:40.280 Beyonce and Laverne Cox. Those were my favorites. Beyonce, oh 0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:43.800 in the yellow. Okay, so my top two last night 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:45.920 was not actually a lady who was not part of 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:47.839 the Oscars, but she was on the red carpet. She 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:50.280 was interviewing. She had on a black tulball down and 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:52.640 had like the ruising over the show. I thought that 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:56.319 that was absolutely beautiful. And you know who else surprised 0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:59.480 me last night and I loved her dress, Rosie Perez 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:04.280 in the Red. I've never seen Rosie so beautifully done 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:07.199 because she usually you know, you been dressed though, but 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:10.040 Rosie was beautiful in that readdress. I didn't I didn't 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:11.960 see it, but I mean, I'm not surprised Rosie could 0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:14.840 always dress. I mean she was a little you know, um, 0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:17.559 she was a little bit of a thug missus, but 0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:20.360 you know, she could always put an out. Last night, 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:23.640 she was very classic lady. I did like the youth 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:26.319 of Zendia with the shirt and the skirt because she 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:28.679 had always come dressed. Because she's so young, and you know, 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:30.800 she looks like a very young me when I was 0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:33.679 like like ten years ago. Don't say ship, just why 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:36.199 she always got to say something. You know, they passed 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:41.240 out slaps. I'm aboutready right now, speaking of slaps. So 0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:44.800 Chris Rock came to the microphone last night to introduce 0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:47.839 or to present for somebody he was. He was the 0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:50.880 presenter for that segment of and he made a joke 0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:54.880 which was not very offensive towards what well, it wasn't 0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:57.720 very offensive, but I think it was the build up 0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:00.800 that he kept attacking it was very offensive. You thought 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:03.400 it was very offencive. I thought that Chris, because I 0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:06.040 know Chris's record, and Chris can go there with material. 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:08.320 But the joke was we'll see you at the next 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:10.679 g I Jane movie. I didn't think that that was 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:15.679 very offensive. But if he has been making and jabs 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:17.880 at Will and Jada for so long, and I think 0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:20.760 that it was a build up and Will just got 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:23.839 up walked on the stage and I'm telling you, I 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:25.719 had hit me a love lounge, lovely, So I was 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:28.640 with God. So I'm looking at it in real Tamlin, 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:30.760 and I'm looking at him like, wait a minute, am 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:33.800 I tripping? Because I think I was really enacting it 0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:35.520 in my head. I didn't think that I was actually 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:39.000 watching Will Smith slap Chris Rock, but he actually slapped 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:41.719 Chris Rock on Lave TV on at the Oscars and 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:44.640 like to keep my wife's name out your mouth, And 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:47.840 I was like, whoa. So when I was watching the Lab, 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:50.480 they you know, they muted it and then they had 0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:52.920 a little interruption or whatever. They also had an interruption 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:55.920 on Venus Williams because her nipple was showing. Whoever dressed 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:58.040 Venus Williams, your stylus should be fired because that's the 0:13:58.080 --> 0:13:59.920 double side of tape. That's real easy. As a star, 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:04.439 you should know that. Uh, And everybody has their own 0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:07.040 segway about it. Everybody saying this, everybody saying that. Let 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:08.680 me tell you how I feel about it for Lauren, 0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:10.400 because Lauren coming there a whole different way from me. 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:12.800 Let me tell you how I felt about the situation. 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:16.000 As a black person that is not his woman, that 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:18.400 is not his baby mama, that ain't one of his 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:21.120 sad pieces or his dips, that is his wife for 0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:24.240 twenty years and the mother of his children. I understand 0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:26.680 how he felt. And Will Smith, as much as we 0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:29.040 want to make him a superhero and I am legend 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:32.120 and all these movies that he played Muhammad Ali, He's 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:34.360 an actor, but he's also a man. He is flesh 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:36.760 and bone, and I think he had just had enough. 0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:38.400 And we don't know what kind of day he had 0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:40.840 had the pressure of the oscars. We don't know what 0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:44.080 Jada was going through with alopecia that day. I don't 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:47.880 I'm not familiar with how alopecia affects people period, so 0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:51.600 we don't know what was going on. But the fact 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:53.920 that black people keep saying or why he had to 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:55.160 do it at the oscars, why he had to do 0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:57.240 that they do it at the BT was if we're 0:14:57.240 --> 0:14:59.120 gonna hold each other accountable for the ship that we do, 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:01.000 we gotta hold each other kind of before wherever we 0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:03.120 do it. And like your mama would tell you, if 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:04.760 you show out on me, wherever you show it on 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:06.840 me at I'm gonna show out on you. Baby will 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:08.920 have had enough and he went to slept out of 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:11.880 Chris Rock. Chris Rock was professional, he kept his composure, 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:14.600 He did keep his composure. But I love the fact 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:18.560 that he defended his wife. He stood up for his wife. 0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:20.760 Now do I promote the violence? No? I do not. 0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:23.400 And as a comedian it makes me like, damn bitch, 0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:26.080 what can I or can I not say? But as 0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:28.320 a comic, you don't stick on one person. You stick 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:30.920 and move, stick and move, stick and move. Uh. Chris 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:34.760 Rock wrote Jada and will for years starting with we 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:37.240 know public if we don't know anything that happened privately. 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:40.600 But I do think this will play out. And what 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:44.120 what spoke volumes to me was had idea that because 0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:47.120 in my d lists they would have escorted me out 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:49.640 the building, the mean fact that we will stay. And 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:51.680 when they called his name to win the Oscar, which 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:53.920 he did win the Oscar, they gave him a standing ovation. 0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:56.840 That spoke volumes to me. And I know Lauren has 0:15:56.880 --> 0:15:59.920 a different opinion. I don't condone it. But I reached 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:02.720 as a man, as a as a man who does 0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:04.120 not have a wife. That's why I never get mere 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:05.880 because I want to defend nobody but the girl. I mean, 0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:09.440 I'm never offend nobody else, just me. I get it. Uh, 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:14.480 come on, lawyd um. I think that Chris Rock's joke 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:18.680 was highly insensitive and very disrespectful. Jada Pinkett has said 0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:21.800 publicly that she has alopecia, And for any of you 0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:24.920 guys that are confused, it's not old age. She's not balding. 0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:28.480 That's not the situation. She has alopecia, which is the disease. 0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:32.440 I have family members that also have alopecia. It wasn't funny, 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:35.960 It really wasn't. It was not funny, and for him 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:37.560 to say that it was, like I said, it was 0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:41.360 highly disrespectful. He was wrong. However, at the same time, 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:44.600 I don't agree with Will Smith walking up on stage 0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:47.440 and slapping him in the middle of the oscars. And 0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:50.320 truth be told, Will laughed at first when the joke 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:52.800 came out. I think when he looked at his wife 0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:54.960 and saw that she was offended by it and it 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:58.400 hurt her feelings. And I'm sure they've had conversations about 0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:00.920 what she's going through in the insecure already's behind losing 0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:03.120 her hair because she said it publicly on the Red 0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:07.360 Table Talk. I'm sure when he saw her face, that's 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:10.840 probably what enraged him and he was like, don't do 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:13.720 that to my wife. I don't think that it was 0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:16.880 necessary for him to go up and slap him. One 0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:20.359 thing that I learned is that saying nothing sometimes is 0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:24.520 much more loud than doing something. He could have given 0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:26.560 him the death stare of his life, and Chris Rock 0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:28.880 would have known when we get backstage, me and will 0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:31.600 about to have words. That's how he could have handled 0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:33.920 that instead of it wasn't It was a night for 0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:36.960 him too, But he was also representing the Williams family, 0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:39.639 and for you to do that, not only did it 0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:42.440 discredit the work that they were a part of and 0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:45.399 their family legacy, but you also put yourself in a 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:48.399 position not only to be sued for a civil lawsuit 0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:50.600 for assault because l A. P D Is now involved. 0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:53.920 I know Chris Rock declined to supposedly press charges, but 0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:57.720 you just tarnished a really good night. It wasn't necessary 0:17:57.840 --> 0:17:59.399 at all. There's a time and place to to do 0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:02.320 everything want to talk about you mentioned will BET Awards, 0:18:02.359 --> 0:18:04.920 blah bla blah blah. Sorry, BT Awards and the Oscars. 0:18:05.200 --> 0:18:07.600 I'm so sorry. It's a different audience. And it's not 0:18:07.680 --> 0:18:09.800 even about oh, don't show out in front of white folks. 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:12.720 That's not what it's about. It's not It's about the 0:18:12.840 --> 0:18:16.119 narrative and the stereotype and the stigma that's related to 0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:17.960 the black community and the fact that we can't act 0:18:18.080 --> 0:18:20.639 right in certain places. That's what it comes down to. 0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:23.280 And there's a time and place to do everything. That 0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:25.000 was not the time and place. He could have had 0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:29.040 a conversation backstage and cussed Chris Rocks ass out behind 0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:31.080 that and given him the biggest death stare from sending 0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:33.800 his seat, and it wouldn't have taken away. It would 0:18:33.840 --> 0:18:36.159 have just added to his credibility as and asked um 0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:38.119 an actor. It would have added to the fact that 0:18:38.280 --> 0:18:40.640 he knew how to keep his composure, and it would 0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:46.280 have just simple simply highlighted his work in West Philadelphia, 0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:49.000 born and raised on the playground was West and most 0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:54.800 I'm so sorry, and I've seen reports to that they're 0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:56.840 talking about trying to strip him from his oscar now, yeah, 0:18:56.880 --> 0:18:58.880 but you can never take the glory back. He's still one. 0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:00.760 Even if they take the Oscar. You can never take 0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:02.920 the glory back of that night, and the ratings will 0:19:02.960 --> 0:19:07.160 be the best Oscars they had in aus I don't agree. 0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:09.479 That's the same situation when they stripped Reggie Bush from 0:19:09.520 --> 0:19:12.280 his Husman Trophy. I'm sorry there. That's they're still talking 0:19:12.320 --> 0:19:14.680 about that we can take wards away from people and 0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:16.960 that causes you to discredit your career. I think this 0:19:17.040 --> 0:19:19.240 will forever be a stain on his career. Will Smith 0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:21.120 is worth of a four hundred million dollars. I'm sure 0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:23.680 he don't give a damn. And the fact that the 0:19:25.280 --> 0:19:27.280 the the fact that they still stood up for him 0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:29.440 when they call his name after the fact, I'm telling you, 0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:32.680 Hollywood is not down with Wheel and I think that 0:19:33.000 --> 0:19:36.239 this will be a great launching pad to reintroduce um 0:19:36.760 --> 0:19:39.360 Chris Rock's career. It's not like his career had win anywhere, 0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:41.360 but he had been a little low key for a while. 0:19:41.680 --> 0:19:43.840 This will be great for him because they may end 0:19:43.920 --> 0:19:45.800 up Hollywood gonna bank off for this. They may make 0:19:45.840 --> 0:19:47.240 a movie in the next two or three months. They 0:19:47.280 --> 0:19:49.639 make made Bad Boys four and Chris Rock gets to 0:19:49.680 --> 0:19:52.080 smack Will Smith in the movie and all this forgiven. 0:19:52.080 --> 0:19:54.320 You know what I mean, Lauren, think you know how Hollywood. 0:19:54.640 --> 0:19:56.639 You work behind the scenes in Hollywood. I know I 0:19:56.760 --> 0:19:58.240 get that, But I'm just saying there's a time and 0:19:58.280 --> 0:20:00.840 place for everything. Like I said, this Rock was wrong 0:20:01.000 --> 0:20:03.920 and so was Will. They were both wrong. They both were. Yeah, 0:20:05.160 --> 0:20:07.400 And I still think Chris Rock should apologize to Jada 0:20:07.480 --> 0:20:10.680 because I'm not trying to pull the black women card, 0:20:10.880 --> 0:20:12.960 but I'm about tom. It would be nice if we 0:20:13.040 --> 0:20:16.200 stopped going after black women's appearances in public spaces. And 0:20:16.680 --> 0:20:19.720 it was a black man, black man's wife in the 0:20:19.800 --> 0:20:22.680 room for the white folks, it was not appropriate. But 0:20:22.800 --> 0:20:27.440 do you think that Will should apologize to Chris No? See, 0:20:27.600 --> 0:20:29.639
