Joe on Dave Chappelle Getting Tackled Onstage

So this fucking Dave Chappelle thing is crazy. Last night, I guess it was, someone attacked him at the Hollywood Bowl. He's fine. I checked in with him today. He was laughing about it. He's in good spirits. There's a video actually. He was laughing like right afterwards. Because Jamie Foxx apparently had a cowboy hat and he jumped on stage to help. Jamie Foxx with a cowboy hat jumped on stage to fuck that dude up. The guy was five foot, that arm's broken by the way. Definitely. That arm's fucked. Is also like the way they led him into the, like when he got into the actual stretcher, you could see he's fucked. It's so funny. You can tell the type of beat up that somebody is when they're getting kicked on the ground by different, from different angles by different people. It's a different type of like beat up look. You could tell that that left side of his face was the side that was either on the ground or totally like away from everything. The other side was getting punched. Everything's swollen on the one side. Yeah, he's fucked. That guy, he mean, Jesus Christ. You could tell. You can always tell because, did you, you saw the actual video? I saw the video. First of all, Dave Chappelle has good hips. Yeah. Because the guy shoots in on him. Yeah, he almost sprawled on him. And he kind of turned with him. He kind of kung-fu-ed him. He came a little like, he doe. Have you watched the video? As the guy's coming in, he's coming in this way and Dave kind of like turns a little. It's balls too. Chappelle's a big boy. Bigger than you think he is. Well, the guy's crazy. Clearly there's something wrong with him. Look at this. And I mean, there's just no way to describe how not expecting that you are when you're on stage. Yeah. Look at him. He just runs away. And then the comedian clicks in and he comes back because he's like, wait, I have to, it's my mic right now. Look at this guy running. Oh my God. That guy's never tackled anybody in his life. No. Chappelle almost makes the clear out all the way. Yeah, almost. If he just had a little training, see that was all an instinct. If he just had a little training. Imagine if he just punted that dude in the head when he went down. Yeah. One of those MOSFADAL knees. There is no security in the front row with this thing. Like there should have been someone there that was scanning the audience for fucking weirdos that are ready to sprint. Crazy. Well, we live in strange times, man. I mean, and after the Chris Rock thing, that was one of the things I was worried about. I was like, people are thinking they're going to start smacking comedians now. They don't like what they're saying. And what I'm thinking or what I'm worried about is that people think that's justified. Like people keep, they keep using the same things. I saw an article. They said his transphobic statements. They're not fucking statements. They're jokes. They're not jokes that are transphobic either. They're jokes that feature trans people. They're not transphobic jokes. His whole bit in that last special that everybody was mad at is essentially a love letter to his friend that killed herself because she was supporting him and she got attacked on stage. The idea that that and somehow or another is transphobic just because he's talking about a trans person is fucking crazy. Right. And then they just don't want to be talked about. That's essentially what it is. Like they're saying it's transphobic. If you're even mentioning trans people as a subject with his bonkers. Yeah, because it's really the opposite, right? That means that they're equal. If you're being included in an American free conversation and obviously a comedy set, like that means that you're part of the everything else. You're now. Yeah. I mean, we all, of course, everything's part of the everything. Everything else. But it's like if there's stuff that you cannot discuss at all because it's so hot, the subject can't be brought up. Well, this is a nonsense way of communicating. You can't communicate like that. You can't say people can't discuss topics or discuss something that is prominent in culture right now. I mean, there's a lot of discussions about trans rights and about use of bathrooms and about trans kids and the White House talks about it. Jen Psaki was doing an interview and she was crying about it, sort of misrepresenting with the don't say, supposedly don't say gay bill in Florida, which isn't don't say gay. It's a weird time because we have to be able to look through the fog, the fog of the anger that we have for the opposite or the anger we have for the opponent. Because the way that the Democrats and the way that Republicans look at it today is there's us and there's them. And it's so polarized that anytime something comes up, anything, like these subjects, like you want to find out what side is on what side of the issue. Like is my side on this is okay or is my side on this is a bad thing? Okay. Thank you.
