In this episode, the boys break THAT slap. How can he slap? They present their theories on what may have happened to Will Smith, where they were when it happened, and what should Chris Rock do in the aftermath. A very somber episode, where Bashaar finds himself parodying Will Smith MANY times. A total delight.
