Dave Chappelle gets attacked on stage at the Hollywood Bowl. The Netflix is a joke festival.
Can't let Chris Rock have nothing.
You know what I mean?
Chris Rock had a month, bro.
He had a month where he was the guy.
I tell you.
I think he paid for it.
Really?
Hot take, Alex Media.
I think he paid for it.
Come on.
I mean, worth the money.
Yeah.
But do you really think, though?
No, no, no.
But if he did, though? If he did though!
If he did though!
I can tell it was like a G because he did not get taken down.
He did not get taken down.
When they shoot, he fucking backed up.
And yeah, like, and he had kind of funny lines to say after it like in that moment
You're shook. Somebody runs up on stage and apparently the dude had like a weapon or whatever.
Or a knife. According to this article fake gun that is also a knife now do we have no right now we're recording this on
wednesday so we don't have all the information about this guy i'm sure they're gonna go through
his tweets and find out everything he ever did etc yeah and we'll know that very soon but uh
it looks like it's something similar to this oh my god crazy fuck so wait he like whoa whoa apparently had that on him when he was arrested
like oh it was on his body but he wasn't like attacking dave with it that's yeah they're not
sure but that's what it seems like do we know anything about this guy like do we know what
community he's part of isaiah lee 23 years old i just saw that he wasn't white and i was like
he could be tan He could be tan white
Isaiah? When was the last time you met a white Isaiah?
Good point
Apparently he had a social media following
According to this article from TMZ he had 32,000 followers
And only follows 80 people
Dave Chappelle being one of them
And what is his vibe?
How does he get more followers than me?
What does he do?
I mean look at him
God damn He looks a little bit
but he also got punched in the face a lot so that's why they're just a little bit more close
from the repeated punches in the face we're not taking it we're not taking another one well you're
not taking another why do black males hate comedy why do black males hate comedy? Why do black males hate black comedy? Why do black males hate black comedy?
And Asian men hate comedy.
Black on black comic crime.
Yo, black on black crime with the comedy world, man.
This is disgusting.
Watch out with them jokes, you get it too.
I'm just saying, but is it, I mean, I don't want it to happen to anybody.
We got two more shows left on this tour.
Infamous tour is almost over. You got two more changes left on this tour. My boy. You're kidding. You're kidding. Infamous tour is almost over.
You got two more changes in Vancouver to get me?
Jesus.
Come on, dog.
Follow what?
What?
No, don't get me.
I don't want anybody to get me.
It is just a wild time, man.
Fuck.
I don't know.
What do you guys think about it?
Some people are blaming Will Smith. Okay. Where they they're like oh this is will smith's fault he
normalized attacking comedians and he slapped the comedian that everyone cheered blah blah blah
i'm like i don't really think that has anything i think it's it's not his fault it's just people
don't do things because uh they're normal they do things for attention and will smith doing it got
crazy attention this is going to get
crazy attention more people will continue to do it as long as it gets the attention it's like the
i don't know if they said this about school shootings or like or terror but they said the
more the media the more the media puts it out the more they end up happening right like copycat
shit basically yeah because you get attention from exactly and this kid's gonna get crazy
attention and apparently he's a rapper.
Oh, that's, yeah.
And apparently he has a song called Dave Chappelle.
Yeah, it's just such a weird thing, man.
I think it's good he got his ass beat, though.
Yeah.
That precedent should be set.
If you fuck with a comic on stage, you will get your ass beat.
Yeah.
I mean, they fucked him up.
But some people were mad at Dave Chappelle because apparently he came out and he said,
oh, I stomped him backstage.
I always wanted to do that.
Or something like that.
Why are you mad at him for that? People are like oh like why are you jumping in? No he said they're stomping him
backstage. Oh I thought he said that I
stomped him. Yeah I think he said he stomped him.
If you watch the video
he
doesn't leave the stage ever.
Oh really? Yeah.
They stomping that.
He says a really funny line he goes uh he goes
thank god that was clumsy
like what a great word you know like it was just fucking hilarious man son that really does show
the difference between rock and chappelle right what rock is just in complete shock and then just
goes well smith just slapped the shit out of me right, so we're here to give the best documentary.
But Chris Rock got his revenge, though.
Because he came on on the mic and he was just like, yo, was that Will Smith?
Yeah, he did pop in.
What do you mean?
Why weak?
Why weak?
So months later, that's the best shit you got?
Bro, he's waiting to get paid why are you gonna put it
out just for like whatever he's like oh i could just take this to netflix no but he did apparently
put out clips every week but chris rock chris rock's already chris rock you know what i mean
son week come better come better i mean it's like off the cuff like another person got attacked
like you're not like writing bits to be like all right when someone else gets attacked here's what i'll say i'm just saying he
should have came by he still hasn't he still hasn't lit up will smith it is true he is not
i think he's legit old news now he's not even the most recent comedian to get attacked on stage yeah
that's funny yeah he's still having response he's on some kardashian shit like stuff happens
to kardashians and then they do a show about it four you know four months later
and then they cash in
on the Montessori
yeah if you're Chris Rock
that's exactly who
you want to be compared to
yeah yeah
good call
but now though
he's like 55
like he doesn't want to be
in that like rat race
social media
no he wants to be
Kardashian
yeah
55 year old dude
yeah 100%
I'm sorry
what are you thinking
he's gonna have a documentary
about it?
How is he going to make money about this?
He'll do a comedy special.
But he's got to work it out.
So you're saying he goes into the clubs, works it out in the clubs.
Yeah, and ideally stuff doesn't leak or he'll put people's phones in cases.
I see.
And he works it out and talks about it.
He does an exclusive whatever and then gets paid from it that way.
But I hear he's not working at any drugs. Yeah.
About Will.
Yeah, I don't know if he is or not.
That's whack.
That's whack.
That's the wackest shit ever.
And he's the fucking goat and that's whack. Yeah's the wackest shit ever. And he's the fucking goat, and that's whack.
Yeah.
Well, that's why Dave's the goat.
Well, we'll see if Dave works it out.
Dave's already working it.
Dave's already cooking it.
Dave might have better jokes about Will Smith slapping Chris Rock than Chris has about Will Smith.
He's been working him, probably.
He's been workshopping.
Goddamn.
Why the fuck wouldn't Chris do it?
I don't know, man.
He's just so fucking robotic about his process, and that's great.
It's gotten him some of the best specials of all time,
but this is a time when I think you need to disengage from that.
You know what I mean?
Is that your king?
He also might be fucked up about it.
He was my guy.
He was my guy.
He might be fucked up for real, though, man.
What do you mean?
Will Smith slapped him on live television. It's like, oh, bro, you got to say something. He might be fucked up for real, though, man. What do you mean? Will Smith slapped him on live television.
He might...
It's like, oh, bro, you got to say something.
He might be like, bro, what the...
He might still be like, bro, I don't even know how I feel.
I can't get my dick hard.
He probably can't get hard and shit.
He's like, son, there's a slap.
Shut up.
No, that's not just a slap.
That's not a regular slap.
That's not a regular slap.
That's not a regular slap, bro.
Fucking Fresh Prince of Bel-Air slapped you at the Oscars.
In front of the world.
That's different.
And you're the god.
You're a god.
You are a god to people.
And it's like, nah, nigga, you can bleed.
It's like when the Persian king got hit with the little bit of.
That's all I needed to do was show that you ain't, bro.
You ain't that.
Oh, no.
And now look at everybody.
We're shitting on Chris Rock.
But that's, you can't.
We're just shitting on him.
And it's because it's funny.
He's a fucking god in the thing that we do.
Yeah.
That's how, like, like bro that's not a normal
slap you know where a good place would be to to talk it out is the stage the best yeah i mean if
you want to work things out you could do that on stage i gotta at least hear a reason why he doesn't
feel comfortable doing i heard he just said the hour is written or some shit like that
come on that's just a letdown for us obviously selfishly like yeah he wants to put
the hour out in the way that he wants to put it out sure but like selfishly we're like now we'd
like to see you talk on this at a certain point you got to talk about it yeah i mean uh that's uh
that's unfortunate damn man yeah it is wild you think that this will continue to happen
oh yeah really for a little bit yeah it's gonna be a thing oh shit yeah i better watch out i don't know about you i'm a great fighter so i'll be all right
are you at all concerned i you know what i used to say even beforehand was like i'm not trying
to hurt anybody's feelings so if you legit don't want to be talked to just give me a little thing
and i'll move on yeah i hate that awkward shit where somebody's like yo shut the fuck up move
on and then we got to do that and i got gotta pretend i'm ready to fight you even though we
both know i'm not you know what i mean yeah so i'll say that shit early on in shows like as i'm
teasing somebody i'll be like yo by the way just thing if you don't want to be talked to that's
fine just let me just give me one of these i'll move on so i think it disengages a lot of that
shit but that is a thing i've had to think about being five, seven for years doing comedy, talking shit to people.
Yeah.
Like you gotta be wary of the line.
And I,
you know,
you generally don't want to hurt anybody.
So if Chris knew Jada was a witch,
he probably wouldn't have said that shit.
Yeah,
that's true.
That's true.
No,
no,
that's a good ass point.
Yeah.
That's a good ass fucking point.
He didn't see the cauldron next to this bitch.
Yeah.
All right,

you can find the whole episode and join the asshole army at patreon.com slash flagrant suit
are we gonna are we gonna go through a time where like comedians start being victims it's like oh
we're under attack and yes yes we do that all the time that's all we do that's all we do that all the time. That's all we do. That's all we do.
I don't even say jokes anymore.
I can't say words.
I'll be doing that shit.
Fuck, is that what we do?
Are we just crying ass bitches?
Black people, you see how you want it.
Black people are the funniest.
If you cry the most, you're the funniest. If you cry the the most you're the funniest if you cry the most
you're the funniest bro
yeah I'm wondering like
what do we do with this
what do we do with this
as comics
I think there's probably
more security
like really high level shows
yeah I think you gotta
set the precedent
of beating the shit out
of people who walk on stage
how does bro get through
with a gun knife
DC on fly
I got to walk on stage
knocked his ass out
knocked his ass out knocked his ass out. Knocked his ass out.
Bro, knocked his ass out.
And it didn't go back to jokes.
Like, stood there
and let everybody know,
like, I will fuck all y'all up.
But he got in with that thing.
Yeah, I love him.
How do you get in with that?
Yeah, that's ridiculous.
At the Hollywood Bowl.
You know what I mean?
That's fucking wild, though.
Yeah, that is absolutely ridiculous.
That's crazy.
This is from TMZ.
Now, do we know anything
about this guy?
And is he, was he upset about the trans stuff?
Like, what was he upset about?
It doesn't seem like there's a...
There's no motive yet.
Motive, no.
Talking about the psychotic episode.
What?
I think I'm having one.
No, no.
The psychotic episode, right?
That's kind of interesting.
This is why this will continue to happen.
People will continue to have psychotic breaks,
and now they have an outlet for that psychosis.
A tagging comedian just wasn't something that existed,
so they don't think about doing it.
They're like, oh, let me shoot up a school,
or let me go yell at people on the street,
or let me go jump in a fucking dumpster or something.
This is just another thing you can do now.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, the school shooting shit became a trend.
It's not like it always existed throughout history.
It's a TikTok challenge.
Yes.
So this is a new TikTok challenge essentially for crazy people.
Crazy people are going to start to see that this is something you can do and can get attention for and you're fighting the good fight or whatever.
And once that psychosis starts spinning, there's really no stopping it.
So 100% this is going to happen again.
Also, what's really interesting to me is the at any level.
We're talking about the Oscars and the Hollywood Bowl.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
Because in your head, as a comic, you do, like you said,
if you have the funny bone, you're getting killed.
Yeah, exactly.
But I'm expecting that, too.
I'm like, there's nobody in the security.
But I'm at the Hollywood Bowl.
The security don't even tell them to stop talking.
You got to be like, yo, can you tell us table seven to shut the fuck up please i'll just do it on stage and i gotta
kick them out from on stage you are done bro when you in a tux at the hollywood bowl bro you there
is a level of like all right this i'm beyond that now yeah no one's gonna run up here yup so that's
what's crazy to me is that like bro the boldness to do this shit at any kind of venue is like huh
well that's definitely new getting up on them stages isn't easy like those stages at a theater like that shit you like hike your pants every time
every time we're at a theater they put security standing up on stage you go i don't want them
standing i don't like them i don't like them staring at the crowd judging them i like them
to be something else now they're gonna be there with me sit right there this is gonna be like
def jam where motherfuckers are sitting at the cocktail table that's gonna be my security you need an air marshal but it's just like some guy that's
hanging out on the stage like a photographer but he's strapped yeah secret photographer not even
taking pics yo that's great right 100 yeah i mean fuck man vala two more shows boy i'm gonna need to
see all that karate you'd be fake practicing around the studio.
Yo, Bala loves airboxing, bro.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm going to need you to do that.
Someone pulls up.
Didn't he have something happen at a show?
Rogan?
I remember one time the lights went out and just how serious that was.
Just that moment of like, fuck.
Because he was on stage and you could feel it from him, too. fuck like yeah because it's like with him is the joker in this bitch
like yeah it's really happy it's like it's china in this bitch whoever's mad at this nigga today
because people hate him for real and hate and psychosis is a terrifying thing and that's the
thing that happened with with chapelle his motherfucker started for the first time in my life
people started to hate him it was different when he went to af his motherfuckers started for the first time in my life people
started to hate him it was different when he went to africa motherfuckers didn't hate him they're
like is he crazy that wasn't going on this was hate yeah and if you're a crazy person and you're
filled with hate yeah that's a dangerous combination there's also like a god thing
i think a lot of things look joe like a god too especially exactly like dave is like a God thing. I think a lot of things look Joe like a God too. Yeah, exactly. Like Dave is like a hero.
He's a goat.
He's like bigger than a human being,
but he's also hated by some people.
And like, there's like a rift.
You know what I mean?
I feel like crazy people.
For how much he celebrated those people that hate him,
hate him even more now.
Maybe.
Yeah.
If he was just some strange.
It's just not unanimous hate or unanimous love.
It's hard to hate somebody that's not that famous.
Oh yeah.
I wasn't implying that everybody hates him.
Like, a community started to hate him.
Yeah, exactly.
But I don't think there was any community.
People might have been apathetic towards him.
They might have gone, oh, that's not my favorite comic.
Yeah.
But nobody was like, I hate that guy for how funny and awesome his jokes and movies are.
People say that now.
People say, I hate Dave or I hate Joe.
I hate Dave.
I hate Joe.
Yeah, you're right.
Nobody used to say, I hate the Fear Factor guy.
Who hated the Fear Factor guy.
Yeah, dude.
But now people hate
him because he can say some shit that can sway politics and it ain't even sane people hating
you that's a problem because sane people can make rational decisions yeah it's there are people who
are insane out there mentally ill people need something to spend their time on yeah someone
to spend their time on yeah and if it's this guy everybody says sucks all right that's the guy yeah
yeah yeah i mean fuck i don't think the will yeah i think that will smith shit
in a way not like all community it's just like it did it put a rift in like the zeitgeist of
culture you know what i mean like it just it did something i don't know what but it did something
and the fact that that dave chappelle thing happened right after it's like it did something
yep there was a move it moved that guy isn't doing that to dave if will didn't do that for facts and he knew he was gonna get lumped the fuck up but it was worth the
lumping for the attention it was gonna give him and people are willing to take these shots for
attention they saw nothing he goes oh that's actually maybe the worst thing that nothing
happened will if will got lumped up emotionally or in some way opposite to happen yo he got
celebrated he sat there They all clapped.
They had a fucking standing ovation for him.
And that's on Chris.
And that is on Chris.
And that is on fucking Chris.
So, yo, Chris is partially responsible for this happening.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
What I mean is he's not responsible for this guy doing that to Dave.
But the fact that pressing charges might have been corny or something like that but just like yo
you can't come to Oscar for 10 years whatever
corny shit that was like that means
you get all the attention all the
adulation because please believe there are people
in certain communities that are saying that
guy that attacked Dave
he's a hero yes he's a hero
so he got all the love and attention from the people
that he wants the love and attention from he
don't want it from the haters he wants it from the celebrators right so he got all the love and attention from the people that he wants the love and attention from. He don't want it from the haters.
He wants it from the celebrators, right?
So he got all the love and attention he wants.
Now he got lumped the fuck up.
And it needs to be extra on top of that.
Like, dude got to go to jail.
Or else this is going to keep happening.
What is the price you're willing to pay for the clout?
If the price is low, which it was in Will Smith's case, other people are willing to pay that price too.
I just walk around slapping people and nothing happens to me?
Shit.
That's why they stopped showing, literally,
why they stopped showing streakers during sports games.
Because they're like, oh, we don't have enough punishment for this,
but if we keep showing this, it's going to happen so much more.
So now, that's why it don't happen as much anymore,
because every time it happens, they don't show it at all.
The camera will just shift or go to commercial immediately.
Same thing for fights in the stands at boxing matches.
Yeah, if Will got fucked up somehow chris if chris would have verbally just fucked him up right after just destroyed him i wish i could i wish he just
said the fucking thing yeah that would have set a precedent of like okay something back and or he
came out and said no i'm suing that motherfucker fuck him like if you just i don't care if you
think it's pussy you know it's pussy just walk up to someone who you think you're friendly with you know
but no for real like just something like no you're not gonna do that i would sue him for
a hundred million dollars 100 and that's 100 what i would have done yep johnny depp's doing
for 50 chris rogers do for 100 that shit was millions of people. A billion people saw Chris Rock get slapped.
Yep.
$100 million is nothing.
Yep.
That's like 10 cents a person or whatever the fuck that is.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Bro, you're already on Mount Rushmore, and then the whole world's perception changes
of you?
Yeah.
Like, that's wild.
Now, you got to pay for that.
I don't know if Will comes back, bro.
The King Richard, we were talking about this earlier.
The King Richard was supposed to be-
Was the company, because he felt his movie sucked.
And then that was like,
and he kills it.
He's,
I mean,
bro,
he makes you cry.
And it's such a great film.
And then he,
for that to hit.
So that was the come up.
And then he threw it away.
So like,
Oh,
you definitely can't come back.
