In this clip, Deon Cole weighed in on Ben Stiller saying he has no apologies for the film ‘Tropic Thunder’ which saw Robert Downey Jr. essentially perform in blackface. Deon explained from a purely comedic perspective that the sheer over-the-top nature of Downey Jr.’s performance didn’t come across as demeaning to black people. From there, Deon addressed the controversial meme he created to poke fun at the "slap heard around the world" involving Will Smith and Chris Rock. He expresses his regret because Chris Rock has been his mentor for years. He then shares some sound advice that Chris once gave him about being a comedian before he's anything else, including being Black, an American, a father, and so on. From there, DJ Vlad chimes in and states that what Will Smith did at the Oscars was some "punk sh*t" because he would never have responded the same way if Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson cracked a similar joke on stage. Lastly, the two men turn their attention to Jada's "entanglement" with August Alsina before DJ Vlad shocks his Deon by informing him that August recently "came out of the closet."
