Speaker 1: All right, so I know you guys saw Dave Chappelle's
Speaker 1: monologue Saturday night on Saturday Night Live. It looks more
Speaker 1: like Chappelle. Yeah, it was. It was brilliant. Looked more
Speaker 1: like Chappelle was doing a long stand up said when
Speaker 1: he joked about several hot topics, but mostly Chappelle focused
Speaker 1: on Kanye's anti Semitic comments over recent weeks. He joked
Speaker 1: about Trump and the ten thousand pages of documents Trump
Speaker 1: added his house, and then he went in on herschel Walker,
Speaker 1: calling him quote observantly is stupid? Okay, Yes, Chappelle was
Speaker 1: ready for it. Well, m Chappelle is already receiving backlash
Speaker 1: from Anti the Anti Defamation League. The CEO there, Jonathan Greenblatt,
Speaker 1: called out Chappelle's Saturday Night Live monologue for not just normalizing,
Speaker 1: but popularizing anti Semitism. He tweeted, we shouldn't expect Dave
Speaker 1: Copell to service society's moral compass, but disturbing to see
Speaker 1: Saturday Night Live not just normalized, but popularized popularized anti semitism.
Speaker 1: Why are Jewish sensitivities denied or just diminished at almost
Speaker 1: every turn? Why does our trauma trigger applause. M. That's
Speaker 1: not what I did you get that out of that?
Speaker 1: I mean, I know we're not Jewish or anything, but
Speaker 1: did you get that? What was he what was he saying?
Speaker 1: I mean Chappelle, Well, I mean, definitely comedy. Now it's
Speaker 1: so the council culture so real. You can't say anything
Speaker 1: about any body any more. Now. Oh h Dave said
Speaker 1: the N word. You no outcry? Ain't ain't no outcry?
Speaker 1: And how is that okay? Though? I mean, why isn't
Speaker 1: there an outcry? Well, I mean because we don't have
Speaker 1: a defense league, we don't have a group of people
Speaker 1: to protect us. That's that's not I don't even care that.
Speaker 1: I don't even care. But the thing that bothered me
Speaker 1: now is this man has come out, but he's preempted
Speaker 1: the statement by saying that Dave is not the moral compass,
Speaker 1: and he's not. He is a comedian, right, And I
Speaker 1: don't know what he meant by normalizing or popularizing popularizing.
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. But I thought the
Speaker 1: set was absolutely brilliant. I mean, okay, let me ask
Speaker 1: you this. As comedians and you, Steve, what is your job?
Speaker 1: What are you supposed to do? With the number one
Speaker 1: job to make people laugh, but it's also tied in
Speaker 1: at laughing at stuff that we're not supposed to laugh
Speaker 1: at it. To point out the absurdness, the ridiculousness, and
Speaker 1: the unspoken, and to bring it out in the form
Speaker 1: of comedy, that's our job, I'm telling you right now.
Speaker 1: Dave Chappelle, to me, after watching that is a throwback
Speaker 1: to a cross between a Dick Gregory with a larger
Speaker 1: platform and the late grade Paul Mooney with with with
Speaker 1: a little bit more sensitivity to it. You put those
Speaker 1: combinations of people together with Dave's genie, with Dave's genius,
Speaker 1: and you have Dave Chappelle. And did that set not
Speaker 1: show you? Did Dave just not demonstrate how one man
Speaker 1: told his own career. That was it. He just showed
Speaker 1: how Kanye West set himself on fire. But then you know,
Speaker 1: there's an outcry that we should all be supporting Kanye
Speaker 1: and Kyrie Irving. Kyrie Irving, I don't understand what's happening
Speaker 1: to him. I really really don't. This brother just posted
Speaker 1: the video, he didn't even put a caption with it,
Speaker 1: and now he's apologized, But now they're still suspending him
Speaker 1: and making him gravel back. I think that's file on
Speaker 1: so many levels. It's like, you know, man, I mean,
Speaker 1: somebody else do it, and what happens to him. I
Speaker 1: don't see nobody having being forced to pay fines and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. Now Kanye. Kanye threw himself off the
Speaker 1: cliff and it's just continually down that hill. And I
Speaker 1: think it's at the point where now where Kanye just
Speaker 1: needs some type of counseling from somebody who knows and
Speaker 1: cares about him to say, hey, bro, look what's the
Speaker 1: goal here. Let's get the goal. Let's get a plan
Speaker 1: to go about going after the goal. But Dave Chappelle
Speaker 1: thing was absolutely fine. I saw no problem with it
Speaker 1: myself personally well. Moving on to another comedy legend in
Speaker 1: the news, Netflix hasn't. Netflix has announced that it will
Speaker 1: make its first attempt at streaming a live comedy special
Speaker 1: with Chris Rock. Netflix VP of Comedy Format said, We're
Speaker 1: thrilled the entire world will be able to experience a
Speaker 1: live Chris Rock comedy event and be part of Netflix history.

Speaker 1: stream live in early next year, twenty twenty three. So
