[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's time for Donkey of the Day. There's a bunch of donkeys out here in these streets. How to make donkey of the day called Donkey of the day. It really caught me off guard. We live a life where we bite our tongue based off who we may offend. We never would say anything.

[DJ Envy]

Charlamagne.

[Advertiser/Announcer]

Give it to him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Give it to him. You are a donkey.

[Host]

That is why Charlemagne is here.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Some donkey today's just saw themselves on the Breakfast Club.

[DJ Envy]

Okay, Charlemagne, who you giving donkey of

[Charlamagne Tha God]

the day to today? Donkey of the day for Wednesday, July 29th goes to a 35 year old Alan, Pennsylvania, man named Stephen McCarthy. Now this story came to my attention because one of our producers, slash board op DJ Red. Red was complaining about naked men in the gym. And Red isn't a complainer. So when Red came in, I don't know if it was last week or this week. Was that last week or this week?

[DJ Envy]

Last week.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Last week, right? But when he came in complaining about naked men in the gym, I knew it had to be serious. Okay? Red said he wanted to build a wall around naked men in the gym, okay? He said there is no country for old men in the gym. And we've all been there, okay? Working out in the gym and seeing an old white man in the locker room with what seems to be a hairy clip, all right? Just a patch of gray hair and nothing else, but he's just as free as he can be, okay? They have gotten to the age where they have lost all self consciousness and sense of physical vulnerability regarding their aging bodies, okay? Not to mention the old men grew up in an era where societal norms were different, okay? Older generations grew up where public nudity in the gym and school locker rooms, it was completely normal, okay? But f all that, I don't really care. When you get to that age, 70s, 80s, you still got the energy to go to the gym, get naked, all right? I don't give a damn. You earned it. All right? Decades of life. Strip away anxiety about body shape and wrinkles and judgment from peers. Let your Jurassic junk hang, man. Okay? I don't give a damn. Now I'm saying all that to say the male locker room in a gym is not a sexy place, okay? That's the picture I wanted to paint. So I have absolutely no idea why Stephen McCarthy turned into a freaky ass ninja69 God and decided to go into self service mode in the gym locker room. Yes, Stephen McCarthy was hit with some charges, including but not limited to indecent exposure after police were called to Supersets gym because a man was masturbating inside a bathroom stall. According to reports, Stephen McCarthy was charged with two counts misdemeanor simple assault, one count summary harassment, and one count summary disorderly conduct. Okay. As I just told you, police were called the Supersets Gym for a man reportedly masturbating inside a bathroom. Okay. While officers were on the way to the gym, an additional call came in reporting that Stephen McCarthy was allegedly fighting with people in the locker room. Freaky and fighting. Okay? Two men told police they witnessed McCarthy exposing himself in the stall and moaning.

[DJ Envy]

He must have been going in.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You can't wait to get a membership at Superstar. You're ready to run down there right now. When Steven left the stall, he tried to push through the men and began swinging at them until they wrestled to wrestle them to the floor. Let's discuss. Okay, Stephen. Stephen McCarthy, let's talk. Sir. What's going on? All right. Why were you buffing your banana, petting your puppy, playing pocket pool in the men's locker room at Supersets. Now, I'm not judging you, not at all. All I'm saying is, if you want a silver fox, okay? If you want a sugar grand daddy, just say that, okay? I mean, you must suffer from a word that I can't pronounce, but I'm going to try anyway. Gerentaphilia. No, gerentophilia. That's it. Gerentophilia. I think I said that right. But I'mma tell you what it is. It's the clinical term for a primary sexual or romantic attraction. The people of advanced age. If you in a men's locker room, okay, at a gym, and you get horny, you a different breed, okay? You a different breed. I mean, he's probably got a picture of a bunch of US Senators on his wall. He probably runs a one man offense and makes a personal deposit every time he sees a picture of Mitch McConnell. And then he had the nerve, the unmitigated gall. After playing tug of war with himself, he comes out the stall and tries to pull pushed through a group of men and began swinging at them with closed fists until they arrested them to the ground. First of all, you can't go from hand to gland combat to hand to hand combat. Second of all, who are these freaks that was standing outside his stall? Okay? If I hear someone moaning from a stall, I'm probably gonna mind my business, okay? I'm damn sure not gonna be standing outside his stall, okay? And have him push through me, all right? Could y' all at least let the man wash his Hands. This guy is swinging on you with white sticky stuff on his hands. He thinks he's Peter Parker. Okay. And he had to be wrestled to the ground. All I can think is if they held him until the police came, he never got a chance to wash his hands. Just baby gravy everywhere, you know. Well, Stephen, if you enjoy, you know, clearing your pipes around a bunch of men, you did something that sent you to a facility that will ensure you get to do just that. Please give Stephen McCarthy the sweet sounds of the Hamiltones. Of the day. Well, I. We can't play a game because I don't know what race he is, and I don't think it matters. He's clearly Spider Man. He had white sticky stuff on his hands and he was fighting people.

[DJ Envy]

But how hard was he going in if you could hit him?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, moaning crazy. Red, you was in the. What was your complaint about the male locker room? Red? I just felt like they. I feel like too many younger dudes or even just people middle age, walking around naked too comfortably. You, like, you're not. If you're over 70, then you should be covering up.

[Guest Speaker]

I mean, you shouldn't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You. You shouldn't have to cover up, but if you're younger than that, I feel you should try to do. Try to cover up a little bit.

[Host]

You want somebody to see you if

[Charlamagne Tha God]

you're younger than that, You.

[Host]

You want. You want.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All the guys even said, no, I don't want y' all covering up.

[Host]

Yeah, okay, hold on.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Eddie just sent me a picture because I think he lived close to Allentown, so you might notice. I don't know what this is. Yeah, let me see.

[Host]

Let me see.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm look, I'm showing you.

[Host]

Oh, you guys, he could be.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't want to say what I'm thinking because he's Latino.

[DJ Envy]

He could be a white or Latino, definitely, like.

[Host]

Yeah, I don't know. Latino, Caucasian. Caucasian. Latino.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, I wanted to play again.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You don't think he look a little halal truck? All right.

[DJ Envy]

Thank you for that donkey today.

[Host]

I don't think so.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's your fault. Cause y' all kept talking. I couldn't think of nothing else to say. I told you. Told you I wanted to say something, but it sound. But didn't I tell y this it was going to sound. I told y was going sound. I know my. I know myself. I'm just saying I know myself, but you know what I mean. I know. I know what you mean. Let's keep it moving. All right.

[DJ Envy]

Thank you for that. Donkey today.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This guy is crazy.

[DJ Envy]

800-585-1051 now, yesterday, what's the young lady's name that that does the podcast with?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Sarah Font. Fontonot.

[DJ Envy]

That's not her name.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, it is. Sarah who does the podcast.

[DJ Envy]

Salute to Sarah. Yeah, she was doing her podcast and she was talking about the term happy wife, happy life. And this is what she said.

[Guest Speaker]

Women have such dysregulated emotions that they'll say I'm leaving this thing because I'm not happy. What the hell does that mean? And this whole like woke community, this. I need to feel seen, heard and I need to be acknowledged 100 of the time. That's why you're single. If you think a person is supposed to get you 100% of the time, if you think that a person is supposed to make you happy 100% of the time, stay single, don't get married, don't date, don't even get to know anybody. Cuz you don't even make yourself happy 100% of the time. How do you expect a man to do this? I'm so sick and tired of it. What? You keep s ing me. What?

[Host]

Is it important for men to be happy in their relationships?

[Guest Speaker]

It's the most important.

[Host]

There are large amounts of men that will disagree with you.

[Guest Speaker]

No, I think large amounts of men have gotten conditioned to feeling like their happiness doesn't matter. But that whole happy wife, happy life is bs. It's happy spouse, happy house. You aren't looking at it from a space of we are here to serve each other. That's why two out of three marriages end in divorce.

[DJ Envy]

I told you.

[Host]

Totally agree with everything she said. I get it. She said, you keep saraing me cuz the lady kept saying Sarah, oh, Sarah

[Charlamagne Tha God]

going to stir it up. You hear me dropping the clues bombs for Sarah.

[Host]

She was very passionate about what she said and totally agree.

[DJ Envy]

Sarah Fontana. Salute to Sarah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So what's the, what's the question? Sarah, Right? And how right is she?

[DJ Envy]

Let's just open up the phone line, see what people think. 800-585-1051. But yes, I think Sarah is absolutely, positively right. Yes, you should feel happy wife, happy life, but your wife should feel happy husband, whatever it is.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Happy spouse, happy house.

[DJ Envy]

That's what it should be. Both sides should try to make the other side happy.

[Host]

That's what it is that a lot of women don't want to talk about. They like to stay away from that because yeah, men have been conditioned to think that their happiness don't matter. You will hear it every year on Thanksgiving. It's about my wife. And I don't really get anything for Father's Day or Valentine's Day or any on my birthday. You know, it's all about catering to your woman. A lot of women got that mindset. It's not right.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, but you know what, too, and we'll talk about it when we come back. But my wife, at the beginning of each year after New Year's, she always says, what can I do to make your life easier?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What?

[DJ Envy]

What can I do to help you make your life easier? Is it, do you need more sleep? Do you want me to do this? Do you want me to do that? And then I do the same for her. That's what I Happy relationship balance, happy marriage.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But also, when we say happy wife, happy life, I've never taken that as just my wife, you know, is supposed to be happy. The reality is I want to make her happy because she makes me happy, Right?

[Guest Speaker]

Correct. If.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If she don't make me happy, I don't give a damn. Happy life for her.

[Host]

No, you want it to be reciprocated.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The reason we say happy wife, happy life is because clearly your wife is doing something to you that makes you want to continue to make her happy.

[Host]

Exactly.

[DJ Envy]

Let's discuss. We'll take your calls when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
