Wow. What a night. It's safe to say that Oscars did not go down as anyone predicted. 

Immediately after the telecast, I got on Twitter Spaces with Michael Collado and Myles McNutt to discuss. A bunch of other people joined as well (including several Patrons). I'm sharing the audio recording with you folks as a podcast.

Thanks as always for your support!

Was #vanlife and signed up for YouTubeTV in the middle of no where Oregon. And tuned in to SEE the slap and rest of the show. Looking forward to listening to this on the drive home.

Thanks for posting this. The ceremony ended too late for me to stay up and listen to this live. Appreciate the upload.

I enjoyed being a “ Listener” last night on your Twitter meeting as I organized my workload on my night shift. Some interesting points were made that broadened my view on the “event”. Kinda glad I had to leave for work before it happened so the shock wasn’t as abrupt. The worst part for me is that any boasting on my guessing CODA would win Best Picture got drowned in the “ slap heard around the world” Yes, this was an actual headline the next morning!

Context podcast listeners might not have: there were 800+ (maybe more) listeners when I joined this space. Pretty cool

Dave, I genuinely appreciate you are interrogating your take, including on Culturally Relevant. I am glad you are trying to thoughtfully consider whether your first blush reaction is one that ought to be shared by all people. I am not gonna spend any time on Will Smith’s slap per se. Its obviously bad to slap someone. But what I think is far more interesting and far more illuminating is all of the hand wringing by white people decrying the violence. In a country where the most depraved violence imaginable has been inflicted on black bodies by white people for centuries, usually to the complete indifference of non-black people, I can see why some black thought leaders are raising a collective eyebrow at the sudden concern expressed by these non-black audiences about how violence is bad. Centuries of brutality greeted mainly with indifference, but a slap gets everyone running to Twitter to share their anti-violence take. It’s like the oafish houseguest who tosses garbage all over your house, leaves the toilet unflushed, plates strewn everywhere, then points to a minuscule dust ball in the corner of a room and says, you should really run a vacuum through this place, it’s disgusting. Yes, dust is technically something you should deal with, but really, that’s what we’re going to spend our collective mental energy on. This shock by everyone that a slap invaded this sacred (largely) white space (the Oscar telecast) is just a little much. I also think these reactions by Jim Carrey and Judd Appatow are especially tone deaf just a couple of years removed from the widespread protests after the George Floyd murder which culminated in a near complete reversal again by non-black Americans who are pushing back hard against “defund the police” policies or any initiatives that seek to reimagine law-enforcement because they are unwilling to sacrifice their own sense of security, even if the source of that security continues to terrorize another group and inflict violence far more concerning than a celebrity spat. Sorry for the long rant. Love the Patreon feed.

Halle Berry got assaulted by Adrien Brody in 2003 Oscar when she was presenting him the award, it was hardly mentioned and she even had to pretend nothing happened. Sadly, the world is full of double standards. Dave, great episode and interview. Thanks!!

Beautifully put. Do you mind if I share this on Twitter?

I'm genuinely confused. Can't we be shocked by all of it? Recall the Flloyd murder resulted in widespread protests by americans of all stripes and all the imagery of Jan 6 was everywhere in the media for days. I know I was outraged on Twitter for weeks :) The violence in those situations was also shocking and appalling. Do you think we as a nation ignored those major, earth shattering acts of violence that almost brought the country to its knees? Or the resulting viral imagery of countless african americans on police body cams being mistreated? I know I was outraged then...but I feel sometimes as liberals we can't just say what Smith did was wrong without going through a long labored guilt ridden self examination. Putting this slap in context does make it rather remarkable and newsworthy IMO. I'm kinda aligned with Jeff on this one.
