Key Discussion Points & Insights

The Incident ([03:00 - 05:03])

• Charlamagne explains the story:
  • Tenants Javon Crawford and his wife, who rented a home in Westland, Michigan, called their landlord to remove dead birds from the attic.
  • Instead, the landlord used the opportunity to enter while they were out—engaging in sexual acts in their home.
  • The act was caught on the tenants’ security cameras, which notified the wife while they were at the hospital visiting a sick family member.
  • The landlord was confronted by Fox 2 Detroit at his own home, refusing to give his name on camera.

Tenant Reaction ([03:54 - 05:03])

• Javon Crawford expresses shock:
  • “He walked back and forth through here naked.” – Javon Crawford [03:54]
  • “My wife, she’s germaphobic, so I had to most definitely clean in before she even stepped in anywhere in this house, period.” – Javon Crawford [04:09]
  • Upon seeing the footage: “She just pointed the phone to me, and I seen him just doing what he was doing right here in our house.” – Javon Crawford [04:26]
  • “Too comfortable. So I know for a fact that somebody that comfortable, what else could be done?” – Javon Crawford [04:40]
  • When asked how hard it would be to write the next rent check: “I’m going probably write some languages on the back of the check for them to transfer. Yeah, special memo.” – Javon Crawford [05:03]

Charlamagne’s Commentary & Humor ([05:11 - 07:13])

• On Landlords:
  • “You know, it’s hard to get landlords to fix things, okay? Sometimes they don’t do enough. This landlord was doing too much.” [05:11]
• Jokes about the Landlord’s Behavior:
  • “This landlord was so out of shape, and they said he was piping it down for an hour. Brothers, you got to step your G hour. Go look at how this man is built and you be like, damn, an hour. You got to step your game up.” [05:24]
  • “You asked your landlord to come in and remove some birds, and he decided, no, actually, I’m going to bring one in your house and drill a few holes. Okay? This landlord owns the house, and he was supposed to come in and just do some house repairs. Dear Mr. Landlord in Westland, Michigan. You were using the wrong power tool, buddy.” [05:24]
• Legal and Ethical Implications:
  • The situation may not technically be a crime under Michigan law, but likely constitutes a civil issue or lease violation.
  • “The arrogance. All right, the abuse of power. Yeah, we know you own the house, but can you respect the fact that you are renting it out to someone?” [06:11]
• On Modern Surveillance:
  • “I don’t know about y’all, but I’m scared of Airbnb’s nowadays... People got ring cameras, nanny cams. Alexa, listening. You know they got refrigerators with surveillance cameras now?” [06:55]
  • “There are too many cameras around for you to be letting your nuts hang in technically somebody else’s residence. Okay. This man made a sandwich and bought his own pickle.” [07:13]

Memorable Quotes & Moments

• Charlamagne's wordplay:
  • "He decided that instead of removing birds from the attic, he wanted to bring one over and snake her drain. He wanted to grease some hinges." [03:22]
  • "Meanwhile, you came in and decided the back door had some cracks that needed to be filled." [05:24]
  • "Can you respect the fact that you are renting it out to someone? Not to mention, I don't know what made you want to pull out the tool belt in a residence that you don't live in." [06:11]
• Tenant’s disbelief:
  • “Too comfortable. Too comfortable. So I know for a fact that somebody that comfortable, what else could be done?” – Javon Crawford [04:40]
• Charlamagne's final takedown:
  • “Some donkey of the days just sell themselves. Please give this landlord in Westland the biggest hee-haw.” [07:34]

[Javon Crawford]

I was donkey of the Day, baby.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Damn the Hee Haw again. It's time for Donkey of the Day. I ain't trying to be donkey today 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.

[Fox 2 Detroit Reporter]

Who got the Donkey of the Day today?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes. Donkey of the day for Wednesday, May 27 goes to a landlord in Westland, Michigan. Now, for whatever reason, Fox 2 in Detroit doesn't give his name, even though they run down on him at his house. Okay. In Canton Township to confront him about what he did. See, there is a man named Javon Crawford dropping a clue. Bumps with Javon Crawford. Salute to him and his wife. They rent a home in Westland and they called their landlord to do some house repairs. Okay? They needed the landlord to remove some dead birds from the attic, but instead, the landlord decided to come over and lay some pipe. Okay. He decided that instead of removing birds from the attic, he wanted to bring one over and snake her drink. Okay. He wanted to grease some hinges. Okay. Yes. This landlord decided that there was a stud that needed to be nailed. I don't know if she was a stud. What? I'm sorry. I don't even know why I said that. Okay? What do you mean, Uncle Charlotte? It was a stud that needed to be nailed. Well, let's go to Fox 2 Detroit for the report, please.

[Javon Crawford]

He walked back and forth through here naked.

[Fox 2 Detroit Reporter]

Their landlord was supposed to be removing dead birds from the attic. Instead, he was giving a lesson on the birds and the bees on camera. So right now we're kind of standing at the scene of the crime.

[America 250 Announcer]

What did you guys do?

[Fox 2 Detroit Reporter]

Did you clean before you.

[Javon Crawford]

Most definitely. My wife, she's germaphobic, so I had to most definitely clean in before she even stepped in anywhere in this house, period.

[Fox 2 Detroit Reporter]

It allegedly happened Monday in Westland. While Javon Crawford and his wife were in the hospital with his sick grandma, his wife started getting alerts from their security cameras on her phone.

[Javon Crawford]

She just pointed the phone to me, and I seen him just doing what he was doing right here in our house.

[Fox 2 Detroit Reporter]

Was he alive?

[Javon Crawford]

Stamped in everything.

[Fox 2 Detroit Reporter]

Bonnet down, legs up for about an hour. I'm wondering, too, if this guy's done this before. He seems so comfortable.

[Javon Crawford]

Too comfortable. Too comfortable. So I know for a fact that somebody that comfortable, what else could be done?

[Fox 2 Detroit Reporter]

That landlord has some explaining to do. We tracked him to his Canton Township home. Is this you Naked in a tenant's home. What? The Crawfords have handed that X rated film over to police. How hard is it going to be next month to cut that check to him?

[Javon Crawford]

It's going to be hard. I'm going probably write some, some, some. Some languages on the back of the check for them to transfer. Yeah, Special memo.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, it's hard to get landlords to fix things, okay? Sometimes they don't do enough. This landlord was doing too much. And I'm going tell you something else. Y' all really need to go watch that video. This landlord was so out of shape, and they said he was piping it down for an hour.

[Sheba Cat Food Sponsor]

I was thinking the same type of hours.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Brothers, you got to step your G hour. Go look at. Go look at how this man is built and you be like a damn an hour. You got to step your game up. Now, Javon, I can understand why you're upset, okay? You asked your landlord to come in and remove some birds, and he decided, no, actually, I'm going to bring one in your house and drill a few holes. Okay? This landlord owns the house, and he was supposed to come in and just do some house repairs. Dear Mr. Landlord in Westland, Michigan. You were using the wrong power tool, buddy. Okay, all right? I just needed some birds removed. Meanwhile, you came in and decided the back door had some cracks that needed to be filled. Now, what's interesting about this is they don't know if the landlord committed a crime or not. They are not sure if what took place is illegal because the landlord owns the house. Okay? It could be a possible act of trespassing. But he owns the house. But it's more likely a civil issue for violating portions of his lease agreement. Okay? That's what this whole story is. Violation, Stupidity. What audacity. Or should I say to call Cassidy? Okay, you can't even call his colonization because he already owned the land. But the arrogance. All right, the abuse of power. Yeah, we know you own the house, but can you respect the fact that you are renting it out to someone? Not to mention, I don't know what made you want to pull out the tool belt in a residence that you don't live in. Okay, I don't know about y', all, but I'm scared of airbnbs nowadays, okay? And other people's houses. I don't. If I don't live there. Please. Okay, People got ring cameras, nanny cams. Alexa, listening. You know they got refrigerators with surveillance cameras now. Did y' all know that? Yes. Refrigerators that they supposed to monitor like your food inventory and they sync with your smartphone so you can look at the inside of your refrigerator while you're grocery shopping. I don't trust none of it. Okay? None of it. Not a refrigerator can testify in court if it wants to.

[Fox 2 Detroit Reporter]

All right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay. There are too many cameras around for you to be letting your nuts hang in technically somebody else's residence. Okay. This man made a sandwich and bought his own pickle. Look at envy. Mouth watering. Standing naked in somebody else's kitchen. And then went to handle some pipe maintenance right after. And when the tenant confronted him and said I got you on camera, guess what his response was. So I own a crib. I'm sure he said that. Some donkey today's just sell themselves. Please give this landlord in Westland the biggest he haw. All right, Solomon, thank you for that donkey today. Yes indeed.
