Damn,
0:07
I ain't trying to be donkey today no more.
0:09
They should be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm
0:12
not making these people do these days.
0:13
They called donkey of the day and it
0:15
really caught me off guard. Damn Charlomagne,
0:18
who got the donkey out of.
0:19
The day today?
0:22
Well, donkey today for Tuesday, April knife
0:24
goes to the good brother. Gerard called Michael my Carolina
0:26
brethren, great guy. Okay, he's in North Carolina.
0:29
I'm South Carolina. But today's lesson
0:31
is about grace. This is a teachable moment. See
0:34
yesterday we was on Breakfast Club and Jessa
0:36
Larius was reporting and just with the mess
0:39
uh you know, a conversation about
0:41
Gerard Carmichael in a conversation he had
0:44
about Dave Chappelle, and Carmichael
0:46
called Dave.
0:46
Chappelle an ego maniac. Okay.
0:49
According to Gerard, he said Dave wanted to
0:51
apologize publicly. He
0:53
wanted Grada apologize
0:55
publicly for criticizing his anti trans
0:58
legacy. Yes, Gerard told us by a magazine
1:00
that him and Dave had tension because
1:03
Gerard criticized chappelle jokes
1:05
about the transgender community. Girard says, Chappelle,
1:08
do you know what comes up when you google
1:10
your name? Bro?
1:11
That's what called Michael you know?
1:13
Asked during a GQ magazine and in view, referring
1:15
to you know Dave's comments about trans people,
1:17
he says, that's the legacy. Your legacy
1:19
is a bunch of opinions on trans It's
1:22
an odd hill to die on. And it's
1:24
like, hey, bro, who the f are you? Who
1:26
do you f what do you like to do? Because
1:28
he says Dave doesn't get personal
1:31
in his comedy, which I disagree with.
1:32
Now I asked just a Larry Issh.
1:34
Comedians criticized as the comedians like this because
1:36
if you are a comedian, you know more
1:38
than likely you are going to offend
1:40
somebody, are some community
1:42
at some point.
1:43
It's impossible to not step on those
1:45
land.
1:45
Mines, especially in twenty twenty four, unless
1:48
you're just completely safe. And you can be
1:50
safe or you can be great, but you can't be you
1:52
know, both at the same time.
1:53
So the reason I felt like.
1:55
Gerard you know, should show Chappelle
1:57
or any other comedian great is simply because
1:59
at some point you will of Finn and
2:01
Low and bowl not twelve
2:04
hours after me saying that Gerrod Carmichael
2:06
was all over the Internet because of a joke made
2:08
on his new HBO series, Gerrod Carmichael
2:10
Reality Show.
2:11
Let me read you the headline from TMZ.
2:13
Before I play you the audio Gerrod
2:15
Carmichael slavery race
2:18
played joke stirs backlash
2:20
to self hate is cringe.
2:22
Listen to the joke.
2:24
Sometimes joke to him
2:26
that, like our relationship is
2:28
like that of like a
2:31
slave and the master son who like teaches
2:33
me how to read by candlelight.
2:35
Yeah, he growns too because he's a good person.
2:37
He doesn't like that joke. I like that joke.
2:41
That's my bird.
2:43
I think that's hilarious. Yesha,
2:48
Maria, it's when that's it.
2:49
I don't know what that is. You know that's
2:52
that's a joke. That's for me, Gerard.
2:56
Do you know what comes up when you google your name? Bro?
2:59
That's the leg See, your legacy has a bunch of
3:01
opinions on role playing slavery with your white
3:03
boyfriend. It's an odd penis to die on. Do
3:05
you see how quickly those tables can
3:07
turn? Okay, this is why I don't understand.
3:10
You know, comics coming in other comics. I'm not a comic,
3:12
but there should be some type of rules about comics
3:14
criticizing other comics. And even if it's
3:16
not an unwritten rule, you know, just you
3:19
as a comic should be like, I don't like
3:21
Dave's jokes, but publicly adding
3:24
on, you know, to a pylon of another
3:26
comic as a comic to me is
3:28
laying, especially when you know people are saying
3:30
that the comic is being offensive, you know,
3:33
and that and that. Now, what if Dave came out and started,
3:35
you know, criticizing Gerard for his jokes and said
3:37
he was offended about you know, the role
3:39
playing slavery with his white boyfriend
3:42
joke.
3:42
It's you know, it's Dave Chappelle were talking about him.
3:44
Dave's megaphone is huge.
3:45
If he starts talking about you, you know, sucking the
3:47
penis and you're oppressor, Okay, you
3:50
sucking math and me, Hey,
3:53
can't suck anything.
3:55
Pause.
3:56
Yeah that's what it's saying. Oh
4:00
well, anyway, Okay, I'm just saying, what if
4:02
they came out and talked about you role playing
4:04
slavery? That would change your Google
4:06
searches tremendously.
4:08
Okay, you cannot like the joke.
4:10
But comedians should be entitled to make
4:12
the joke, and you may even be entitled
4:14
to say that's not funny, but the act offended
4:16
publicly as a comedian, you
4:18
know what I'm saying, and tell a publication that that's
4:21
Dave's legacy, now, knowing is not.
4:23
By the way, there's a.
4:24
Lot of things that come to mind about Dave's legacy
4:27
when it comes to comedy and trans jokes
4:29
is not at the top of my list.
4:30
Okay, not even remotely. Drive.
4:33
I love you, but you should focus on building
4:35
your own legacy because I'm not sure you have one yet.
4:37
Okay, you're building. I know you have had all
4:39
the.
4:40
Specials in the TV shows and movies, all
4:42
of that, But what is the comedy legacy
4:44
of Gerrod Carmichael.
4:45
What is the legacy of Girod Carmichael as a comedian?
4:47
Something for us to ponder, Okay, But
4:49
in the meantime, please everyone out
4:51
there remember to give grace. Okay, it's easy
4:54
to give grace when you recall how much
4:56
you may need it one day. Please give Girod
4:58
Carmichael the sweet down to the him.
