None of us would've known the Oscars had even happening if it weren't for Will Smith smacking the [bleep] out of Chris Rock on stage. Mary Katharine and Vic have thoughts on that, as well as President Joe Biden's gaffes on the Russian-Ukraine War. Finally, Mary Katharine fears for the safety of her state, as Duke and UNC face off in the Final Four.
