greg: run you little freak [cheers and applause] greg: happy wednesday everybody, oh, yeah. so the critics still want to yell at dave chappelle. the legendary comedian just released a new netflix special and you know what that means. once again, it s time to get mad at jokes. true, critics in the media are bluer in the face than a choking smurf. you remember back in 2021 the usual suspects were outraged that chappelle dared to joke about transgender people in his act. trans people were a gassed at the professional comedian, who makes fun at everybody, made fun of them. which seems strange not making fun of you seems the opposite of inclusion. still netflix employees staged a walkout. they demanded content warnings to protect their precious feelings when really they re the ones who should come with a content warning and have it tattooed on their foreheads that reads, handle with care, we re [bleep]. [laughter] in other words, they acted just like the censors they claim c
because these people acted like i needed them to be funny. well, that s ridiculous. i don t need you. i got a whole new angle. you guys will never see this [bleep] coming. i ain t doing trans jokes no more. you know what i m going to do tonight? tonight i m doing all handicapped jokes. [laughter]. well, they re not as organized as the gaze, and i love punching down. greg: so here come the headlines. this from the last remaining shred of rolling stone, dave chappelle s the dreamer proves he s obsessed with trans people. sobsed right the media spends years spoon feeding an issue and we re obsessed. that s like telling crack that it s obsessed with hunter. here s msnbc, chappelle can t stop punching down, and that s not the worst part. so what is the worst part? usa boxing just allowed men to fight women. that s literally pumping down,
special proves he learned nothing. i disagree, i think he did learn and he learned if he talks about trans people he s going to get wall to wall news coverage. which he did because we re talking about it over here and people saying i agree with jim. i don t think anybody s actually upset about it. i don t think anybody can honestly say they re that upset over a joke. i mean, i think most people have had bigger problems than that but they also maybe found they get some kind of power for that because some people will actually do that. and here s a punching down, as he just pointed out he has the power to fire me, right, greg does. but he s still [bleep] kat: he [bleep]s on me every single day and i haven t even thought to go to hr even though i m fine, don t offer me i can handle myself. that s the point. greg: interesting. i didn t know i could fire her kat: oh, come on. it s a weird understanding like dave makes jokes and we re like now we can do our part and we can do a li
greg: what do you think about the idea of punching down, aren t comedians, they view themselves as on the lowest running. right, in society they re the people allowed to make fun of everybody above them. kennedy: interesting because i watched the ricky gervais special last night and i watched chappelle today. i thought that approximately was funnier, i loved ricky gervais, it was funny, but chappelle i was screaming. they both tackle disabilities and the disabled because you re not supposed to and things you re not supposed to laugh at it s like laughing in church. like when your brother farts in church, you re not supposed to fart in church and you re really not supposed to laugh at it but that s what makes it so funny. and there are these sacred cows they both slaughtered at the same time and it made it that much more enjoyable. the thing i loved about chappelle that i always have is, you know, he winds up and throws these curveballs that you don t see coming and it s always, tha
