Donkey of the Day. Made it. Damn, the hee-haw, didn't he? It's time for Donkey of the Day. I ain't trying to be Donkey of the Day no more. They should be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm not making these people do these things. Called Donkey of the Day and it really caught me off guard.

Damn, Charlemagne. Who got the donkey of the day today? Well, Donkey of the Day for Tuesday, April 9th, goes to the good brother gerard carmichael my carolina brethren great guy okay he's in north carolina i'm south carolina but today's lesson uh is about grace this is a teachable moment see yesterday we was on breakfast club and uh jess hilarious was reporting in just with the mess uh you know a conversation about gerard carmichael and a conversation he had uh about d about Dave Chappelle and Gerard Carmichael called Dave Chappelle an egomaniac. Okay.

According to Gerard, he said, Dave wanted to apologize publicly. He wanted, uh, Gerard to apologize publicly for criticizing his anti-trans legacy. Yes. Gerard told Esquire magazine that him and Dave had tension because Gerard

criticized Chappelle jokes about the transgender community Gerard says Chappelle do you know what comes up when you google your name bro that's what Carmichael uh you know asked during the GQ magazine interview referring to you know Dave's comments about trans people he says that's the legacy your legacy is a bunch of opinions on trans it's an odd hill to die on and it's like hey bro who the f are you who do you f what do you like to do because he says dave doesn't get personal in his comedy which i disagree with now i ask just hilarious should comedians criticize other comedians like this because if you are a comedian you know more than likely you are going to offend somebody or some community at

some point it's impossible to not step on those landmines especially in 2024 unless you're just completely safe and you can be safe or you can be great but you can't be you know both at the same time so the reason i felt like gerard you know should show chapelle or any other comedian grace is simply because at some point you will offend and lo and behold not 12 hours after me saying that gerard carmichael was all over the internet because of a joke made on his new hbo series gerard carmichael reality show let me read you the headline from tmz before i play you the audio gerard carmichael slavery race play joke stirs backlash to self-hate is cringe let's's listen to the joke. I sometimes joke to him

that like our relationship is like that of like a slave and the master son who like teaches me how to read by candlelight. Yeah, he groans too because he's a good person. He doesn't like that joke. I like that joke. That's my bird.

I think that's hilarious. Yes, sir. Maria hilarious. Yes, sir. Maria Antoinette, sir. I don't know what that is. You know, that's a joke. That's for me. Gerard, do you know what comes up when you Google your name, bro? That's the legacy.

Your legacy is a bunch of opinions on role-playing slavery with your white boyfriend. It's an odd penis to die on. Do you see how quickly those tables can turn? Okay, this is why I don't understand, you know, comics coming in other comics. I'm not a comic, but there should be some type of rules about comics, criticizing other comics. And even if it's not an unwritten rule, you know, just you as a comic should be like, I don't like Dave's jokes, but publicly adding on you know to a pile on of another comic as a comic to me is lame especially when you know people are saying that the comic is

being offensive you know now what if dave came out and started you know criticizing gerard for his jokes and said he was offended about you know the role playing slavery with his white boyfriend joke it's you know it's dave ch we're talking about here. Dave's megaphone is huge. If he starts talking about you, you know, sucking the penis of your oppressor, okay, you sucking Matthew's meat. Hey, you can't suck anything. Pause. Yeah, that's what it's saying.

Oh. Well, anyway, okay, I'm just saying, what if Dave came out and talked about you role-playing slavery? That would change your Google searches tremendously. OK, you cannot like the joke. But comedians should be entitled to make the joke. And you may even be entitled to say that's not funny. But to act offended publicly as a comedian, you know, I'm saying and tell a publication that that's Dave's legacy. Now, no one is not. By the the way there is a lot of things that come to mind about dave's legacy when it comes to comedy and trans jokes is not at the top of my

list okay not even not even remotely dride i love you but you should focus on building your own legacy because i'm not sure you have one yet okay you're building i know you have had all the specials in the tv shows and movies all of that but what is the comedy legacy of Gerard Carmichael? What is the legacy of Gerard Carmichael as a comedian? Something for us to ponder. Okay? But in the meantime, please, everyone out there, remember to give grace. Okay? It's easy to give grace when you recall how much

you may need it one day. Please give Gerard Carmichael the sweet sound of the Hamilton's. You are the donkey of the day you are the donkey of the day all right i like that that was the first one in a long time that I've liked and I love Gerard Carmichael as well but I love that donkey
