Come again on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast called Donkey of the Day. And it really caught me off guard. Damn Charlemagne. Who got the donkey of the day today? Well, just hilarious Donkey of the day for Thursday, February 20th goes to the Coastal Fertility Clinic in Savannah, Georgia. Now I want to salute. I don't know if it's in Savannah, but it is in Georgia. I want to salute all the women out there going through IVF treatments. We know what IVF treatments are, right? The fertilization of an egg by a sperm outside the body. Women get ivf, IVF for various reasons. Infertility, age, genetic concerns. It's a lot of reasons that women get IVF treatments. President Trump actually signed an executive order aiming to reduce the cost of IVF on Tuesday. I believe that's a good thing. Right. But what if you are a woman who is out there trying to get pregnant through ivf, you want to have that baby. Oh, the joy you feel two weeks after that embryo transfer and the doctor gives you a positive result and tells you that you have had a successful implantation in pregnancy. Drop one of Kluz bombs for those who have experienced that level of joy. But what if you didn't get what you paid for? Meaning you paid to get pregnant, you know, had the baby. But what if what they put into your cart isn't what you ordered? You don't find this out until you receive groceries. Okay, what are you talking about, Uncle Charlotte? Well, what I'm talking about is exactly what happened to Christina Murray, a resident of Savannah, Georgia. Salute to everyone who listens to us on 94.1 the beat in Savannah. Christina was given the wrong order. Ladies and gentlemen, let's go to the day. Let's go to the Today show for the report, please. My son's skin tone didn't match mine, but he was still my son. Christina Murray was finally living her lifelong dream of being a mother. He was beautiful and perfect, but it was also very clear that something was wrong. After a grueling round of IVF and nine months of pregnancy, Mari, a white woman using a white sperm donor, gave birth in late 2023 to a baby boy with a much darker complexion. My son's skin tone didn't match mine, but he was still my son. What should have been a joyful first few months bonding with her son, who she loved and wanted to raise, was punctuated by constant fear and uncertainty. I didn't whether it was a sperm mix up or whether he was someone else's. Murray took a DNA test that confirmed her baby wasn't hers biologically. The clinic she'd used, Coastal Fertility Specialists, eventually determined that they mistakenly implanted another couple's embryo in Murray. The biological parents sued her for custody, and Murray chose to give the baby she loved up to them rather than fight. And I walked out of the Building with an empty stroller. And they left with my son. Damn. She had a black widow baby. Or whatever Rita Ora was saying on that song from back in the day. Listen, don't let Donald Trump hear about this. He's going to blame it on dei. All right? This white woman was trying to conceive a child and they put the wrong embryo in her and she ended up having what the lawsuit describes as a dark skinned African American baby. I bet Christina was like, now I understand why I had all these strange cravings. Okay? Cajun collard greens. I never craved Cajun collard greens before I was pregnant. Oh, my God, is this why I couldn't stay out of Popeyes? I ate so much sweet potato casserole from Ruth. Chris. Oh, my God. There were signs. The smell of black and mouth smoke never bothered me. Can you imagine? You spent nine months preparing for a little bundle of joy and instead you give birth to a cultural awakening. Alright, she probably named the baby Woke. Now she gotta go buy books like Brown Baby Nursery rhymes and other diverse children's stories. It's just a mess. And this isn't like getting your order wrong at a fast food restaurant where they can just, you know, give you what you asked for. This is a baby, okay? If you don't like it, you can't just give it back. Imagine Coastal Fertility Clinic, like, well, ma', am, I know this isn't what you ordered, but what's wrong with it? It works. She said it hurt to give the baby away because in light of history, she thought she should be able to sell it. Christina, I am sorry you had to go through that, okay? You bonded with the baby. And I know the hardest part wasn't the mix up. It was explaining to your husband why their baby was born with a full lineup. Please give the Coastal Fertility Clinic the biggest. Y', all, that is wild. It's wild. Now, what about when you have a baby and the baby comes out looking nothing like you, but it's actually yours? I'm dealing with that. Can anybody deal with that in this room? You're a clown. What happened? You're such a clown. What do you mean? It's crazy. What are you talking about? Don't ever play with me like that in your life. What are you talking about? First of all, my daughter got my eyes and we got the same blood type, so don't ever play with me. Yeah, I believe the blood type and my eyes is Chris. How did she die? That face is Chris. That skin is Chris's. Okay, I know that white lady was like, what could you imagine? They put that baby right on her chest and be like, whoa. Mm. She said she had to give away our sign. I know that blackface. I know. She was like, y' all ain't gotta take me to court. Please take. Take the baby. Take these babies. Take my baby. The only thing that would have made this story better is if she was actually racist. I know, right? I know. That would be wild. Yo. Damn. What did she name the baby? Cause she had to name the baby. Right, right, right. Kunta, shut up. I never made that up. I don't know what she named. But you're also idiot for the cravings, too. Cause not Popeyes, Black and Miles. And what else? I didn' Cajun collard greens. Yes, you did. So that's why I can't say out of Popeyes. Baby, please, please. Yeah, right. All right, well, thank you for that dog kid today. What? You sucking your teeth? This guy Max. So stupid, man. Matt, come here, Mac. Oh, God. What? Serious? That's not talking about Popeyes. So dumb what you just said. Mac, be texting me, texting me while you listening what you said. Mac, Imagine you prepare for that baby. You bought all this sunscreen. Now you gotta buy Vaseline jerking lotion. Hey. Damn, that's messed up. Oh, my goodness. I hate this place. All right, donkey. Today is sponsored by renowned personal injury attorney Michael the Bull Laminsoft.
