1
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: Put on your dancing shoes.

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 2: Don't give me your best shot. She's a podcaster, she's

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 2: a journalist, mamamea dot com today. You and I like

4
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,120
Speaker 2: to say she's our Emma Bless.

5
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: I think I'm going to put that in my Instagram.

6
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,479
Speaker 2: I'd like to say I'm claiming you as like we

7
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 2: claim Hugh Jackman claim me, and Daryl braithwait Emma.

8
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 3: Well, people are often arguing over whether or not Hugh

9
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 3: Jackman and I belong to Jones and Amanda and I.

10
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: Say you heard it here first.

11
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 2: You he's ours.

12
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 4: Well, look, let's talk about Chris Rock. As we said,

13
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 4: it was a year ago that that infamous slap happened.

14
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 4: He has a new Netflix special where he addresses this.

15
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:40,639
Speaker 4: We'll get to the nitty gritty, but this is kind

16
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 4: of how he starts.

17
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 2: Everybody knows, Yes, it happened.

18
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 4: I got small, like a year ago.

19
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: I've got smacked at the ask us by this people.

20
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 2: I did it hurt, It still hurts. I got summer

21
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 2: time ringing in my ear.

22
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: But I'm not viectim.

23
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 3: Baby.

24
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 2: You will never see me on Oprah girl Crime.

25
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 4: You'll never see it.

26
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 2: Never gotta happen. If I couldn't believe it, and I

27
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 2: love him Black. No, it's never gotta happen. I like

28
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 2: he's doubling down on this.

29
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: Well he really is.

30
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 4: But he went on to say that he thinks there

31
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 4: are reasons why it happened, and none of them to

32
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 4: do with him.

33
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 3: Yes, So we have been waiting for nearly a year

34
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 3: to hear Chris Rock speak about the infamous slap, and

35
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 3: it all came to a head in this Netflix special,

36
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 3: which streamed live on Netflix over the weekend. So it

37
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 3: was the first time that the platform have done that.

38
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 3: As he performed this special, it beamed out through Netflix.

39
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: You might compare it to I.

40
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 3: Don't know, traditional broadcast television, a crazy technology. And so

41
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 3: he's basically addressed what happened what we heard there. He

42
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 3: started out he was pretty self deprecating about it, but

43
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 3: he got quite serious and it's clear that.

44
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: He is still very angry over what went down.

45
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 3: But he kind of said that it all comes back

46
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 3: to this affair that Jada Pinkett Smith had she cheated

47
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 3: on Will Smith in twenty twenty. At the time, they

48
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 3: were really open about it. They I don't know if

49
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 3: you've ever seen her series of Red table talks.

50
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: She's very very candid and honest.

51
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 3: And it basically came out that Jada Pinkett Smith had

52
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 3: had an affair with her son's friend, so her son,

53
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 3: Jaden and the friend at the time, he would have been.

54
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: About twenty six twenty seven.

55
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 3: And there was a lot of backlash that followed that

56
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 3: revelation and people who were pretty savage online about what

57
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 3: they thought of Jada Pinkett Smith, people.

58
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: Calling her a predator.

59
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 3: So obviously Will Smith as a result, was incredibly defensive,

60
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 3: and I suppose TOI when that joke at the Oscars

61
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 3: came out, that it perhaps wasn't really about his feelings

62
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 3: towards Chris Rock, but more his sensitivities towards people slamming

63
00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 3: his wife in the public.

64
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 2: Sphere, right, and his wife every week.

65
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 4: They famously have an open marriage.

66
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,959
Speaker 2: Doesn't Will allegedly doesn't he sort of open the door

67
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 2: as well?

68
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, everyone is very fascinated by the open marriage.

69
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 3: But I think up until this revelation from Jada, it

70
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 3: had been sort of just thought that Will Smith was

71
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 3: the one that doubled in the open relationships.

72
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 4: Interesting, we might accept it of a man, but not

73
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 4: of a woman. But then he Chris Rock makes a

74
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 4: joke about her hair, not about her sexual escapades. Yes, exactly,

75
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 4: and that's still enough about it.

76
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 2: When I saw that happening at the time, it was

77
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 2: a very benign joke, and I thought, was he getting

78
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 2: so bent out of shape? And I thought it was

79
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 2: part of the show, as a lot of people thought, yes,

80
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 2: But the more you see it back you go, you

81
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 2: feel the heat.

82
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: And watching it, didn't it You just thought this is

83
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: a publicity stunt.

84
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 4: Surely, I said the dialogue became about her alopecia and

85
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 4: whether that was something that whether.

86
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: What is comedy.

87
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 2: But I'm on team Chris Rock here, I'd be the

88
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 2: exactly everyone is. What I mean is like I can

89
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 2: see what he's doing here, I'd be the same as well,

90
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 2: because you'd be thinking at that moment, he's been humiliated

91
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 2: in front of everybody's name. He took that slap really well.

92
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: He did.

93
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 2: Part of me thinking I want to just smash that

94
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 2: guy back. You want your revenge, because that's what men do,

95
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 2: that want their.

96
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: Revenge, And he addresses that as well. At the very

97
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: end of the show.

98
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 3: He basically says, people always ask me why didn't I

99
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 3: hit him BA, why didn't have hit him back?

100
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: And he's like, I have parents.

101
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 3: I had parents that taught me not to hit back,

102
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 3: and then he makes a joke about not hitting back

103
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 3: in front of white people. But he also insinuated that

104
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 3: a lot of the bad blood is because of his

105
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 3: Chris Rock's relationship with Jada. So in twenty sixteen, Chris

106
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 3: Rock hosted the Academy Awards, and that was the time

107
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 3: with a bit of uproar about lack of diversity in

108
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 3: the nominations and Will Smith in particular, had been snubbed

109
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 3: for a film called Concussion that he was widely sort

110
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 3: of praised for. Everyone thought there was a bit of

111
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 3: Oscars buzz there. He didn't get nominated. So apparently Jada

112
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 3: reached out to Chris Rock and said, you shouldn't host.

113
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: This where all boycotting it. You should give it up.

114
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 4: You should if he was nominated, but they may turn.

115
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 3: Up exactly And Chris Rock said in this special last night,

116
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 3: you know like no, it was a big opportunity, it

117
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 3: was a huge role.

118
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: It was work. I'm you know, working comedian and.

119
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 4: We'll talk about inclusion. Let me host the Oscar.

120
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 3: He didn't get nominated all right, no one's picking on her,

121
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 3: you know, So his whole thing is she started it.

122
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:23,359
Speaker 1: He's angry.

123
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 3: But he switched tone and admitted, you know, he really

124
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 3: loved Will Smith, that as a kid, his whole life

125
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 3: he rooted for him, that even when the cheating stuff

126
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 3: came out, that he never jumped on the bandwagon and

127
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 3: never criticized them, and that it just really baffled him

128
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 3: that he ended up sort of being this poster child

129
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 3: for Will Smith's anger.

130
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 4: Wow, it must be a lot of stuff that was

131
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 4: going on inside that head that night.

132
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: Wild.

133
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 2: But when you're hosting an event like that, imagine we've

134
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 2: hosted stuff. Nothing is because the Oscars. But imagine someone

135
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 2: that you know walks up on the stage towards you.

136
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 2: You would think, what's going on here? What's going to happen?

137
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, like you don't, especially a comedian. You're rolling with

138
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: the punchers as it were.

139
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,919
Speaker 2: But did you notice with Chris Chris Rock, he just

140
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 2: had his hands by And that's why when he put

141
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 2: his hands by his side, I thought he's setting himself

142
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 2: up for this.

143
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, he must have seen the rage in Will's eyes.

144
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,679
Speaker 2: Do you remember that guy from Kriikee? He was toasting

145
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 2: a thing and a guy came up. The journalist had

146
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 2: a few drinks and wanted to take on the guy

147
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 2: from Criike. Yeah, yeah, the guy from Kriike. He just

148
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:27,799
Speaker 2: ran away.

149
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 4: You know, maybe Will didn't want to look like I mean,

150
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 4: Kristin want look like that. Kristin wanted to put up

151
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 4: his dupes. Yeah, in case there wasn't going to be

152
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 4: a fight, and then he'd looked like, why would I

153
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 4: assume it was going to be violent.

154
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: He's definitely come off well in this.

155
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 4: I think so too. I think he's come off as

156
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 4: a champion and as he said, I wasn't raised to

157
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 4: punch back. That's the winning line.

158
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: Did you know that Chris Rock is fifty eight years old? Sorry?

159
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: I just found this out and I have to tell

160
