| 0:00.0 | Hello, hello, hello, hello, welcome to the naughty but nice show. |
| 0:17.2 | I'm Rob Schueter. It's Monday. It's Monday after the Oscars, so if I'm a little horse, it's because I've been up all night screaming and shout in and doing interviews about what I thought about the Oscars. But don't worry, I saved all the good beats for our own podcast. Joining us back, we missed him. Is our dear friend Garrett Vogel? Let's jump in what time is it, my friends. It is T-Tie. So let's talk about the Oscars from last night. Jimmy Kimmel, he addressed the slap of the slap. He had to do it, Garrett. So early on in the show, in fact, right at the top, he did make fun of the slap. And in the process, he also, I thought, in quite a clever way, made fun of Hollywood. He said he wants everyone to be safe. |
| 0:56.2 | And if anyone in the theatre commits an act of violence, they will be awarded best actor |
| 1:01.5 | and be given permission to talk for 19 minutes, making fun. |
| 1:05.9 | But after Will Smith hit somebody hit Chris Rock last year, we really did nothing right away. So making fun of that, I thought it was quite effective. What do you think? Oh, no, I think it did what it was supposed to do. Everybody was tuning in. What's going to happen? Will Will Smith be there? Will Chris Rock be there? What's Jimmy Kimmel going to say? I give the first 20, 30 minutes of the Oscars a round of applause. Then after that, we got back to the same boring Oscars after that. I agree with you. It did start well, and that's sort of like a thankless job being the host of it, because you always get blamed for it being too long and too boring. But once the show starts, it's all mapped out, so There's very little Jimmy can actually do to move it |
| 1:44.3 | along, but I did think that was really funny. I liked too that they cut to shots of Spider-Man, |
| 1:50.8 | so if anyone gets in trouble, we have Spider-Man there. Michael B. Jordan, he's a tough guy in |
| 1:55.6 | Rocky in Creed, and then they cut to the Fablemen's, which was Stephen Spielberg, very, very funny. |
| 2:00.9 | Maybe Steven's the toughest of all three. Well, yes,'s, which was Stephen Spielberg, very, very funny. Maybe Stephen's the toughest of all three. |
| 2:02.9 | Well, yes, I know they use Stephen Spielberg, but that's where you got to go for the joke. |
| 2:06.7 | I mean, you put Merrill Streep on screen. |
| 2:09.9 | That's where the world would just... |
| 2:12.1 | They would have lost it because it's just... |
| 2:14.6 | Oh, that's very, very clever. |
| 2:15.8 | You should write it next year. |
| 2:16.8 | And I also thought it's very very clever you should write it next year and I also |
| 2:17.7 | thought it was very clever to never say the name Will Smith he talked about |
| 2:23.6 | getting jiggie he talks about Hitch one of Will's movies but never actually |
| 2:28.9 | mentioned the name of really the villain of the night what do do you think? Yeah, and did you notice that at one point, |
| 2:37.8 | Jimmy kind of changed his jacket to like a white jacket, very, very similar to what Chris Rock was |
| 2:44.5 | wearing last year around the same time, kind of like a almost a nod. I took it as. Like I, that's very clever. I think I'd fell asleep by then. God, it did go on, didn't it? But why so long? You know what I mean? That's what makes people go. You know what? You are so chauvinistic and you think this much of yourself. Right. The ego of it. It's hard because if you cut out the small categories, the stuff we probably don't care about. We're not going to talk about today. And I'm not putting down anyone that won an Oscar for any category. Congratulations. I'm just saying, do we need the costumes? I'm not showing. Let's do some of the big awards and say one thing. So we all knew that Kwana was going to win for best supporting actor for everything everywhere all at once. |
| 3:26.4 | What a comeback story. What an emotional speech. He had not really worked very much in 20, 30 years. |
