Although my friend's daughter had alopecia and would go into like a "remission" and she'd be able to grow a relatively full head of hair not thick by any means but enough to cover her scalp(I think the longest she went was like a year or so). Then, one day it would all start falling out again (head hair and even eyebrows). I used to always buy her really cool scarves and earrings I'd come across when it all started falling out again to cheer her up. Maybe Jada has it like that where it comes and goes? I'm not sure.

I agreed with pretty much everything until you went into Will's acting. It's clear both of you see him as an action star but didn't once consider the possibility that he's trying to do more serious roles. Suggesting he won because he's getting old and might not get another chance is absolutely ridiculous, he's in his fifties for christ sake. You could be 84 and be favourite to win an oscar. If anything the older you get the better your chances are.. He's clearly doing more oscar bait'y roles these days. He's been pushing for a while. Not because he's irrelevant or getting older, but because he wants to do more serious roles. If that slap wouldn't of happened he'd be getting many more nominations because clearly, he's trying to put himself forward to prestigious films more, Denzel style. Anyway agreed with the rest, Will is out of order and Jada is the worst.

I always found it weird as to why the Academy would care about viewing figures for an award show. Award shows are inherently not very interesting to watch and all anyone cares about is finding out who the winners. The Oscars are important as they are supposed to be recognition and sometimes a spotlight for real talent or accomplishment in film making. It is important to recognize the best that is out there and should never be tied to pop culture. I don't really care what is the most popular I care what is regarded as being the best and you find that out from critics and awards. It's how laymen can learn and gain an understanding of what is good rather than simply enjoyable. The Oscars should realistically either stream the event worldwide for free if they really care about getting people to watch or just not care and focus on the awards. But yeh, the slap happened too I guess.

[@Rooney87]

It's true even the Grammys have halved it's viewership over last 10 years, people just don't watch as. much tv as much anymore. It's seemed like a ABC call to change it all up. The show odd, starting with a grammy type performance, having 2 opening monologues, the weird fan voting award, the 8 categories in the first hour edited in to main show, and other weird things. All to save time, which didn't work anyway as it was the longest show in years. They ended up trying to appeal to a greater audience that doesn't want to watch and alienate the audience that does want to watch.

@@isyt1 They shouldn't care. An awards show should not be about making money or at least that should not be the driving factor. And if they are getting that much for adverts now when the viewing figures are low then why care about them cause clearly it doesn't matter and they make bank from it regardless.

[@isyt1]

@@BlueBloodPenn of course they shouldn’t care but this is America. They’ll monetise everything. And why turn down 100 mil when it’s there on a plate

[@BlueBloodPenn]

@@isyt1 But my point is if they are making that money now when everyone knows that the viewing figures are low, why do they care about the viewing figures and try weird things to improve them? They are getting millions regardless of what the viewership is.

Great chat lads! Never saw the podcast from Mrs Smith, but the interaction Brian is describing sounds remarkably similar to the Robin Givens - Mike Tyson (Barbara Walters) interview in 1988.

Spot on guys! Brilliant breakdown, kindest regards, Richard U.K

If I had to bet on a Chris Rock vs Will Smith fight, I'd put my money on Chris. I don't care about the size difference. Will is lucky as fuck that Chris didn't dummy his ass on that stage.

Another thing. She commented just days b4 about how she loved her hair. I'm so embarrassed as a female right now. She's privileged and could afford amazing wigs too. Honestly.

As long as we have Geordie and Lawrence talking about whatever Name it however you want it Love the videos

Most bullies pick on folk they think they can beat. And you are SO correct about that table show and what she has done to him.

[@shaunthomas8602]

He's not hitting Rogan or Chappele let's put it that way.

[@x97s]

Or 50

Or Gervais or Aziz Ansari. He would only hit another black man that was weaker than him

You are so right, men should never lose themselves, forget who they are, to any woman.

Remember “the football hangover” when Alan Pardew was winning “wanker of the week” every pl week? That’s how I discovered true geordie!

[@mysmallspace6068]

I’m going to say this everywhere, her face didn’t show hurt it showed annoyance. The joke wasn’t disrespectful or degrading. If it were cancer and he made the joke, it would be insensitive but not a reason to violate this man on his job. I also don’t think she has alopecia, I think she is embarrassed bcuz she has been bleaching and using creamy crack to straighten her hair which causes tht damage.

[@dahlizz99]

Would have been super funny if Chris hit back or started roasting Will. Then will would've had to double down and fight for real and he would have looked like a 10x worse idiot than he does now

[@SouloXD]

I agree with everything said but Gotham was good and I liked her performance in that

[@adimeter]

I too like Fotham. I thought Jada was good in it. She has nothing to be ashamed in her talent. But now she has her lifestyle to be ashamed of. She should be mortified.

[@unitish97]

Why did Jada not speak for herself though? Like surely she could have said something instead of will right?

I think you should call it " Taking time to think" it's got the alliteration and shows how everyone nowadays dont take time and just blurts out what comes out of there mouths

Just thank god Gervais wasn't there to make fun of Jayda

[@eke.D]

He said he would of roasted her on her boyfriends 😂😂

[@ubertroopertv1557]

Folks could debate this all day long, can we all just agree that the Star Wars Lightsaber Meme with Jada as the Emperor “Good Let The Hate Flow Through You” is the funniest thing we’ve ever seen.

[@billycalder9695]

Chris rock " hey Jada can't wait to see you as a Kings guard in black panther 2" would of been the best joke because then will could of literally done nothing.

[@timewoundsallheels4ever]

Could not agree more with you both. Also, I would not be surprised at all, if Jada, with Will in her tow, had the nerve and approached Chris to invite him to that “Red Table” of Jada’s to “work things through”.

“True Talk” could work for a series name

Good references to Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy's stand up. Along with Chris Rock, must watches.

Can we get a clip of Brian saying "I can slap anyone I want!" 🤣

[@Labor_Jones]

To my understanding the Academy was created for people in the industry to recognize itself and fellow working artist to be nominated as outstanding in the field. .... It wasn't supposed to be made (I've read) for use of Entertainment to outsiders initially.
