    The Slap
    Apr 6 2022
    We know...you're already done hearing about it. And we are too! We promise this will be the only time you hear us talk about it. We don't normally dabble in current events, but we couldn't resist the urge to share our thoughts on "the slap heard round the world" aka all this Will Smith and Chris Rock drama. In this episode, we're sharing lots of thoughts on everything from respectability politics, men protecting women, and the Jada hate that is simply uncalled for.
