1 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:17,360 Speaker 1: So I love when someone says something that brings something 2 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,319 Speaker 1: new to the table. There's so much derivative bullshit and 3 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,640 Speaker 1: so much regurgitation that I really do like when someone 4 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,599 Speaker 1: brings a new thought to the table and then it 5 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:29,479 Speaker 1: opens up more thoughts. So Jim Carrey was talking to 6 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 1: Gail King about the slap that was heard across the 7 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:40,559 Speaker 1: world and he said that sort of Joe. I don't 8 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,520 Speaker 1: think he was joking, but he said that the next 9 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: day he would have sued Will Smith for two million dollars. 10 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 1: And he said, you can't get up on stage and 11 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 1: physically touch another person for words, you know, um and 12 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: what was interesting? And he said, that's going to be 13 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 1: out there forever. And I was thinking about the fact 14 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: that I don't remember how old I was. It was 15 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: years ago. I think his name is Jack Pelante. He 16 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,400 Speaker 1: did he did push ups on stage, uh for the 17 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: Academy Awards, And I remember Sally Field saying, you like me, 18 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: you know like because she was saying that everybody liked 19 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: her and we all obviously remember Kanye taking the shine 20 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: away from Taylor Swift's award or even times. I remember 21 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: there's a time I think Steve Harvey announced the wrong 22 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: winner for um, a miss something pageant, and like it's 23 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 1: just disruptive and that person that one or didn't win, 24 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 1: it's awkward and it's just not like a clean hit, 25 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: you know, it's not like a hole in one. It's not. 26 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 1: And Jim Carey brought up that it takes so much. 27 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: There's so many the gauntlet that you have to go 28 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: through to get to that stage, to be nominated, to 29 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: get on that stage and win, uh, and even just 30 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: get into that room is so extraordinary. So think about 31 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: what it takes for somebody with They've looked about Halle 32 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: Berry's speech about that she's opened a door, uh, you know, 33 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: as the first African American woman to win Best Actress. Uh. 34 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: And if I get any of these stats or things wrong, 35 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: you can correct me. But think about these are moments. 36 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: This is iconic we remember as kids watching. So the 37 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 1: indelible mark that Will Smith left on the Oscars with 38 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: that slap, it's tattooed because it's it's so interesting. Like 39 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: I was thinking, Chris Rock has kids, so he's always 40 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: gonna be the guy that gets slapped at the Oscars. 41 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,399 Speaker 1: And many people, you know, myself included, that he hands 42 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: on himself with dignity and grace in recovering from something 43 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: like that literally bounced right back. But there are gonna 44 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 1: be people that like, why don't you fucking punch him 45 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: in the face, bro, You know, like you're you know, 46 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: you're a pussy. Will Smith smacks you punch them back 47 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: like they're about to be a thousand different things. But 48 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 1: Chris Rock has kids who forever will know that their 49 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: father got slapped at the Oscars. Think about the people 50 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: who won afterwards, who this overshadowed any win afterwards. I 51 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 1: know there wasn't that much time afterwards, but and think 52 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: about all the people in the room that night. This 53 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: overshadowed anything happening that night. You could have won Best Director, 54 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: Best Film, Best Actor, and you pale in comparison to 55 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: an actor standing up on stage and slapping somebody in 56 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: the face. It also brings up entitlement, right, I mean, 57 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: who who is more self important than actors, like, you know, 58 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: getting up and wanting to like talk to everybody about 59 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: their particular cause or everything they say and think is 60 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: so important. And and you know, it is a self 61 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: important night in a self important room. But there are 62 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: a lot of people that really worked hard to get there. 63 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: So I was just thinking, after Jim Carrey opened up 64 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: a new door in my mind about this thing. I 65 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: was thinking, yeah, this will be forever something that will remember. 66 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: That was the Oscar Oscar Is where Chris Rock gotts slapt. 67 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: I mean, that's the whole all night boom. Is there 68 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: anything else that happened that night? Oh yeah, I heard 69 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: one other thing happens. Amy Schumer reacted in a comedic 70 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: way to Chris Rock getting slapped. So that's that's the 71 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: oscars that that's what happened. Chris Rock got slapped. You know, 72 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 1: that's insane and if you think about it, definitely, definitely 73 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 1: it affected Taylor Swift in her life that she won 74 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: an award and Kanye got up on stage and you know, 75 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 1: disrupted it and and and hijacked it and bum rushed 76 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: it and just made it about him. So no matter what, 77 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 1: and no matter what, there's no apology that can can 78 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: take away from the fact that even if what Chris 79 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 1: Rock said was in poor taste, even if he knew, 80 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 1: even if you know, you don't walk into that room 81 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: to be at a roast or the comedy cellar and 82 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 1: you know, get hazed because some people are saying famous 83 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: people set themselves up for public scrutiny. You know, she 84 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 1: does have a condition, and and and he said something 85 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: and if you didn't know, because my question yesterday was 86 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 1: did he just fire a random shot that he didn't 87 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: realize had meaning? And a lot of people, a lot 88 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,799 Speaker 1: of people were saying they have a history. He definitely 89 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 1: did know, um and that the joke maybe did or 90 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 1: didn't land doesn't matter. The whole thing that you remember 91 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: is getting up on stage and and and slapping someone. 92 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: And it's literally what I tell my daughter not to do, 93 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: not that she would ever slap someone, but snod I 94 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: still make a joke to go, oh my god, if 95 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 1: that person did that, would you punch in the face? 96 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 1: I said, no, I absolutely would not punch them in 97 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 1: the face. That's not And I said, it's so easy 98 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 1: for you to make yourself wrong. Someone can be wrong. 99 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: Meaning argument's sake, Let's pretend Chris Rock knew he walked 100 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: in the building, knew about the hair the condition that 101 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: Jada has, and decided he thought he was gonna make 102 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 1: a joke of it. Poor taste, tone deaf, He's wrong. 103 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: Let's pretend and that's not even necessarily the case. It 104 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: doesn't even matter because the other person in the schoolyard 105 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:58,159 Speaker 1: made themselves exponentially and infinitely astronomically more wrong. So I 106 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: say it to my daughter, there can be the way 107 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: that you handle situations can make all the difference in 108 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: the world. So many things happened on that ridiculous show. 109 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 1: I used to be on things that you know, we're 110 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 1: just normal circumstances or abnormal ridiculous drama, but somebody does 111 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 1: something that's so crazy that it kind of overshadows everything else. 112 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 1: So I just thought that Jim McCarey talking about the 113 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: fact that this will go down in history and not 114 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: be forgotten. Uh, and you can't take that back, and 115 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: you can't take back that the night was in many 116 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: ways spoiled for many people who worked so hard to 117 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: get there. I thought that was really interesting and just 118 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: made me think as a parent, what I what I 119 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: would want my child to uh associate me with? And 120 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 1: I certainly would not want my daughter at school to 121 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: hear that I was a woman who got slapped on stage. 122 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: So I just thought that was a really Uh. I 123 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 1: don't know, this is not about a gossip moment in 124 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: an awards show, and that there are other ways to 125 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 1: resolve conflicts. So I think that that's what this is 126 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: bringing up for so many people. It's just bringing up 127 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: these aftershocks and currents that this reminds us all of. 128 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: So today I brought in that I'm a parent, and 129 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: how I would want my child to see me when 130 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: I'm up in some sort of position on a stage, 131 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: and how I would want her to resolve conflict even 132 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: in sixth grade, and the example that I want to 133 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: set for her, and the bad example that that event 134 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: set for children and families watching the oscars. So and 135 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 1: some people were saying that there are people on the 136 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: side of Will Smith and it doesn't it literally doesn't matter. 137 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: There's zero. It's black and white that you cannot get 138 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: up and smack somebody no matter what they do or say. 139 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: So that's what I have to say about that. If 140 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: I were Jada, I mean, I also said the other 141 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: day there's no I mean that Will Smith should have 142 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: been asked to leave the building, just setting an example. 143 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: The Academy set a bad example to by the way, 144 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: the Academy's example is we do not tolerate violence. Because 145 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: they can't say they said we do. They did say 146 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: in their statement, we don't condone violence. No shit, Sherlock, 147 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: you don't condone violence, obviously, you don't condone violence. Where 148 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: the academy condone violence, it's such a pussy answer. But 149 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: they didn't say we don't tolerate violence. Because if that 150 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: were the case, the minute somebody slaps somebody, who's there, 151 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: presenter security walks out in two suits ironically looking like 152 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 1: men in black. Men in black comes out and escorts 153 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 1: Will Smith out of the building. Okay, period story and 154 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 1: film at eleven, But Jada should It's not like my 155 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: man defended me, went and slap somebody on stage, I 156 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,679 Speaker 1: mean in front of all of our peers, and and 157 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 1: we know how hard it took, what it took to 158 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 1: get here. Um Jada should have said, what the funk 159 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 1: are you doing? What are you doing? What are you 160 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 1: actually doing? And and that's that's the end of it. So, um, 161 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 1: Jada should have if she could script, if Jada could 162 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: script the night, she would say, will when you go 163 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: on stage, but she didn't know he was going to win, 164 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: but maybe he got he got himself on stage somehow. 165 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: So if somehow they could telepathically talk to each other, 166 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: and she could say to him, get on stage and 167 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 1: just say I just want to say, uh, that was 168 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: import taste. My daught My wife has a condition that 169 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: she's struggling with. So at the very least, this is 170 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: bringing awareness to something that is very emotional. And I'm 171 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: sure Chris passive aggressive. I'm sure Chris you didn't realize that. 172 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 1: But words do hurt. And then that would have been 173 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: the star of the night. That would have been a 174 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: lesson that everybody would have known that words do have consequences, 175 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 1: and that's saying something maybe that that's unkind or that 176 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: you don't understand, might be hurtful. He could have made 177 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: himself such a hero beyond but he made himself the villain. 178 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: You know. I know we can't belittle people's lives and 179 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: circumstances just because they're winning Oscars, but I mean he 180 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 1: seems to be and I can't even say he's in 181 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: a decent position. How do I know? People probably win 182 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: Oscars and are very unhappy. So I don't know what 183 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,959 Speaker 1: situation Will Smith is in. But you just come clean completely, 184 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: you you you say, I I mean he did cry. 185 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: I mean I don't know, I mean he did have 186 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: a breakdown. He did. He he asked up pretty damn 187 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: bad because because Jim Carrey said it best, once it's 188 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 1: out there, you can't take it back. I mean, Will 189 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 1: Smith checked the box and he apologized. He had to apologize. 190 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: There's no other question about it. Um, I would have 191 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 1: been obsessed. I would have not been able to contain 192 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 1: myself the whole night. I couldn't have gone out after 193 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 1: in partied. I couldn't have celebrated my own Oscar by 194 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: the way. He ruined and tarnished his own Oscar, and 195 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: he ruined and tarnished his own win for the team 196 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: he won it with because he overshadowed the win with 197 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,319 Speaker 1: this garbage. I mean, he stayed the Oscars, he stayed 198 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: his Oscar, he stayed everybody else's Oscar, and he stay 199 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 1: and everybody else's night. And as far as I'm concerned, 200 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: Jim Carrey is a genius for bringing up that point 201 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: that it leaves an indelible mark on this Oscars and 202 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: that there should be consequences, and that he did irreparable damage. 203 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,679 Speaker 1: I just think that's really really interesting. So words and 204 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: actions have consequences. There's no defending it. Really will Smith 205 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: stained the Williams family too, he's representing them in this film, 206 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 1: and he just stained everything. He just came in, he 207 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: lifted his leg and he piste all over everything. So 208 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,319 Speaker 1: that's that. It's just that's that. And the whole thing 209 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,719 Speaker 1: is if you can, you know, teach your kids how 210 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 1: to deal with things that are unpleasant and that are angry, 211 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: that are that really make you angry, you know there 212 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,839 Speaker 1: that really frustrate us. You just that's not the way 213 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: to handle yourself. So that's interesting.
