I don't watch basketball normally, but that video looked like this was purposeful shoving, not a question of overzealous play. That looked like a playground bully pushing someone over to establish dominance. I'm surprised that some of the ladies seem to be rationalizing it as if this is something that shouldn't be disallowed.

Whoopi is a celebrity apologist and Sunny is a racist.  Same old, same old.

Whoopi is a long time NBA basketball watcher.   She's seen plenty of Knicks games in the 90s...   Aggressive play (purposely pushing, hard checking, etc)  is not unusual in basketball.   Male or female.  Welcome to pro sports.   

Anna's perspective was a good one.   It looks agressive to her, but she knows she's not a basketball fan or player, so it's hard for her to judge.

The ball was not in play.

Like Ana, I'm no basketball fanatic, but def it appeared that Caitlin Clark was simply standing by when she was pushed hard for no apparent reason by an opponent. Very disappointing to see this type of behavior from a female pro player - aren't sports supposed to be about sports"man"ship??  I guess such aggressive play is what can keep WNBA in the news (& talked about on The View.)  For me, it's simply indicative of our current win-at-any-cost, rules are for others ethos.

I'm wondering how long Sunny's son allowed her to track him at Harvard...or still does.

But, but it is about a parent that has fallen and can't up... what if they are set in one place with friends or watching a long movie. MAYDAY! Or took a nap.

Sunny is full of crap thinking she can check in on her phone on her families whereabouts. Writing her books, partying with her friends, tending her her animals daily, reading all the books and watching all the movies they discuss on the show.  Oh, and in the makeup chair and going on the show.

Conversations with who knows who but some lawyers, going to the WH, her charities and board member responsibilites.

IMO I think she is spread so thin she thinks she is fabulous and invincible. But not really home.

Sarah “Someone here getting so mad about Dr Fauci”. She was talking about Meghan, wasn’t she?

My immediate thought.

I wondered at the time, what if it was a white girl pushing a black girl? Would their reaction have been the same?

I'm assuming that today's episode was to help hype people up for Sister Act 3, because Sister Act 2 was not a good movie (except for the songs) and not really worth an entire episode dedicated to it.  That movie came out when I was eleven and even at that tender age, I remember thinking, "This..is not great.  Or necessary." 

Sister Act, on the other hand, is fun times and I watched that all the time when I was 10 (we recorded it off a VHS rental, which is how my parents got 90% of our video collection, back in the day).

The first Sister Act movie was HILARIOUS! Robert Miranda, who always plays a mob minion was too funny as Joey, pausing to kill Deloris, because she said she wanted to say her last prayers. Along with fellow minion, Willy, played by Richard Portnow.

The songs were GREAT! And I always dance to them when I hear them on the movie.

 I think she is different on The View than she is in real life.  She did have a lot of trauma in her life but she does seem to have been kind to a lot of people and they have been kind to her.  I think the Whoopi on a movie set is not the Whoopi who is the moderator of The view.

THIS.

As for the discussion about tracking your children? Someone should have read Hax's response out loud to Sunny. It might have taken some of the smug off. Or maybe not. Hax hit the nail on the head and her advice was spot ON.

"I didn't know this was going to turn into a director/talent conversation." 

Poor Ron Howard was probably booked for the sole purpose of kissing Whoopi's ass, too bad he cut her out of his film, lol.  It is a Disney production so they got their promotional moment.  Whoopi, however, did not.

Sunny thinks she's THE parent template for Gen Z  I hope her kids don't one day kill her while she sleeps.

Joy sounds like a female DeNiro with her emotionally-charged Trump warnings.  Calm down.  At this point, she might as well be yelling at me to get off her lawn.

Were Sara and Alyssa there?

Whoopi was rewriting history, perhaps as she'd like it to be?  WACs and other female military personnel weren't in combat like Normandy invasion. They did serve in some hazardous situations, but not in actual combat. I'd also like to emphasize to her that we (the U.S.) aren't the only ones to "not always get it right"; no one "gets it right" all the time, and some never get it right. Additionally, what is "right" at one point in history may turn out to be "wrong" in others.

I didn’t know Whoopi’s daughter was in the movie.

Yeah, the Whoopi adulation can get tiresome but this was really sweet, hearing all the kids tell stories about how Whoopi was so kind to them and left such an impression. 

I thought the majority of the questions were so contrived. They were meant to illicit Whoopi adulation:

You say that you owe a lot of credit to Whoopi for your success, tell us about it…

You say that Whoopi reminds you a lot of your mother, how so?

Tell us about that time that you and Lauryn had something special happen behind the scenes…(actor goes on to tell about how Whoopi organized an on-set graduation.)

Tell us about the time Whoopi helped you keep your hairstyle for the movie…

Tell us about how you were so starstruck with Whoopie and you tried to impress you with your new clothes…

I heard you want to thank Whoopi for sitting with you during lunch…

Of course, not all the questions were framed in a way in which to illicit a Whoopi tongue-bath. Sunny did ask one of the actors about the time he caught staring at Whoopi’s daughter, Alex. Of course, the actor had to explain that it was because he thought Alex was pretty. (I thought this story was cringey, being that they are in their 40’s and Alex is married.)

And this is why I FF’d the entire segment.  🥱

I just realized all this was for Sister Act 2 not the original Sister Act.  I find that strange. I mean it was an OK movie but I thought the first one was better.

I'm just so tired of Whoopi show🥱😴

You and me both. I wonder if so much focus on her is because she is a draw for viewers or are they just feeding her ego?

I listen to the podcast every day and Whoopi is never on.  I'm not complaining but it shows that she does the bare minimum required to be a View cohost.

Yes, she's only done like 3 episodes since the podcast started in early September.  The other hosts have done something like 30-40 episodes each.  (They all, except Whoopi, do one episode each week.)  She apparently rules the roost and they let her get away with it.  I guess she threatens to quit if they make her do something she doesn't want to do, but it's not fair to the others.
