Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The System of Trust in Everyday Life (02:33–04:13)

• Charlamagne’s Reflection on Trust:
  Charlamagne opens by reflecting on how society relies on trust every day—whether driving, flying, seeing a doctor, or ordering food. He stresses that most people honor this social contract, but outliers threaten it.
  • Quote:
    “This whole life we live, this world is built on a system of trust. And for the most part, we do get a path and grade people...But every now and then, you have a heathen, a hideous, heinous heathen who comes along like Amanda Hendricks, who does something so horrid it makes you question how you can ever trust a human.” – Charlamagne Tha God (03:39)

2. The Incident: What Happened at Arby’s (04:14–05:25)

• News Recap:
  A local news segment recounts how Jennica Church, after a night bartending, ordered food from Arby’s managed by Amanda Hendricks, with whom she had minor history. After eating, Jennica and her family experienced severe oral herpes outbreaks.
• Evidence:
  • Amanda Hendricks apparently bragged about spitting in the sandwiches, a fact corroborated by security footage reviewed by police.
  • Hendricks was charged with felony poisoning with intent to injure.
  • Quote:
    “According to the affidavit, Broken Bow police say they pulled cameras and saw Amanda spitting in the food. She’s charged with felony poisoning with intent to injure.” – News Reporter (05:06)

3. Charlamagne’s Outrage and Commentary (05:25–07:57)

• Moral Condemnation:
  Charlamagne strongly condemns Amanda Hendricks, using colorful language to highlight the egregiousness of her actions.

• STD Statistics:
  He acknowledges that herpes is widespread, clarifying that her diagnosis isn’t what makes her “grimy”—it’s using the disease maliciously that is villainous.

  • Quote:
    “What makes her a Batman villain is the fact she used biological warfare against her opponent. Herpes contaminated saliva...could have the same fatal effect as when a reptile spits with acid on Mortal Kombat.” – Charlamagne Tha God (06:05)
  • Comic Relief & Analogies:
    He jokes about Arby’s famous slogan: “We have the meats,” quipping about the new risk of “catching herpes from putting [your] mouth on the wrong meat.”
    • “You already have a society of people worried about getting herpes the old fashioned way from putting their mouth on the wrong meat. And now we have to worry about going to Arby’s and getting the herpes from putting our mouth on the wrong meat.” (06:33)
    • “Imagine going to Arby’s for a classic beef and cheddar. But you leave with a permanent roommate. The gift that keeps on giving. You get bit by a lip monster. Okay, now you a blister sister.” (06:58)

• Final Moral:
  Charlamagne advises listeners to practice better conflict resolution and not let anger escalate into harm.

• Call for Justice:
  “This infectious imbecile named Amanda Hendrix needs to be locked up.” (06:23)

4. The Infamous "Guess What Race It Is" Segment (08:15–09:54)

• Racial Stereotypes and Banter:
  Charlamagne and the co-hosts engage in their routine “Guess What Race It Is,” playfully speculating about Hendricks's race given the context and her name.
  • Quote:
    “Why is she white? There’s a lot of white context.” – Charlamagne Tha God (08:42)
  • Co-hosts confidently guess white:
    “It’s Oklahoma. Oh, yeah. Oh, it’s Arby’s. It’s Oklahoma...Just Amanda. Yeah, she definitely is white.” – Co-hosts (09:06–09:12)
• Charlamagne’s Conclusion:
  After viewing a mugshot, they “confirm” she appears white, maintaining the section’s comedic tone.

[DJ Envy]

it's time for Donkey of the Day.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

There's a bunch of donkeys out here in these streets.

[Angela Yee]

How to make Donkey of the Day

[Charlamagne Tha God]

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.

[Angela Yee]

Charlamagne Give it to him. Give it to him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You are a donkey. That is why Charlemagne is here. Some donkey. Today's on the Breakfast Club.

[DJ Envy]

Okay, Charlemagne, who you giving donkey of

[Charlamagne Tha God]

the day to today? Well, donkey today for Tuesday, June 23, goes to an Oklahoma woman named Amanda Hendricks. Okay? Amanda Hendricks is a disgusting human. Okay? This woman is so gross. And this is one of the most repulsive stories I've ever heard in my life. Okay? When I read this story this morning, I knew I wanted to share it with the world immediately because it's so revolting, so sickening, so nauseating, so repugnant that I want y' all to feel the way I feel after hearing it. Okay? First of all, just yesterday when we were in the dressing room at the View, I was saying how humans need to give themselves more credit in regards to how much we trust each other. Okay? A lot of us, myself included, will say things like, we have trust issues with people. But the reality is this whole system we live in, this whole life we live, this world is built on a system of trust. And for the most part, we do get a path and grade people, okay? We get in our cars every day and drive and trust that everyone on the road is going to follow the laws of the highway. No drinking and driving, staying in your lane, doing the speed limit, okay? Like we all are trying to get, you know, where we are going alive, okay? We get on planes and we trust the pilots. You go to the doctor and trust them to look at your private parts. And one of the things that I bought up yesterday was ordering out, okay? When you order fast food, when you order Uber eats, when you go to restaurants, when you go to coffee shops, whatever it is you trusted, the people making your food don't want to kill you, okay? So there is a system of trust we all operate on and we do a really good job. Round of applause to us humans, okay? Okay? But every now and then, you have a heathen, okay? A hideous, heinous heathen who comes along like Amanda Hendricks, who does something so horrid it makes you question how you can ever trust a human. Let's go to 23 ABC Bakersfield for the report, please.

[News Reporter]

After a long night bartending, Jennica Church stopped at Arby's in Broken Bow.

[Interviewee (Jennica Church)]

It was taking a little bit of time. Thought they were probably mad at me because it was right about to close.

[News Reporter]

Jenica said she had some history with Amanda Hendricks, the manager, but nothing major. She went home, ate and shared sandwiches with her father in law and grandmother in law. Jenica, her husband, the kids and the grandparents all lived together. After that night, Jenica's mouth began to flare up like it never had before. The doctor diagnosed her with herpes several times a week.

[Interviewee (Jennica Church)]

I get a flare up. It goes all the way up to the top of my eye. My eye twitches. I mean, it's very painful.

[News Reporter]

You're probably wondering, how could she possibly connect herpes to Arby's? Broken Bow is a small town. Jenica says Amanda Hendricks was bragging about spitting in her sandwiches that night. And Jenica's daughter heard the story. According to the affidavit, Broken Bow police say they pulled cameras and saw Amanda spitting in the food. She's charged with felony poisoning with intent to injure. A warrant has been issued for her arrest.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Lock her up.

[DJ Envy]

That's crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Amanda Hendricks. What a hideous heifer. Just a raggedy reptile of a human. Just a filthy floozy. First of all, I want to salute all our listeners out there with herpes. Dropping the clues bombs for everybody out there listening to us with herpes right now. Okay? Millions of people have herpes. 64% of the world's population under the age of 50 have oral herpes. And 13% of adults aged 15 to 49 have genital herpes. So I'm not saying this woman is a grimy gremlin because she has herpes. No, what makes her a Batman villain is the fact she used biological warfare against her opponent. Okay? Herpes contaminated saliva. If you spit on me with herpes contaminated saliva, it could have the same fatal effect as when a reptile spits with acid on Mortal Kombat. Okay? This infectious imbecile named Amanda Hendrix needs to be locked up. You already have a society of people worried about getting herpes the old fashioned way from putting their mouth on the wrong meat. And now we have to worry about going to Arby's and getting the herpes from putting our mouth on the wrong meat. Not to mention there are a lot of vaginas out there that look like an Angus cheesesteak. I don't know what that has to do with anything. Just an observation. People go to Arby's because for years, Arby's has told us we have the meats, but nobody told us the meat might come with an outbreak. Imagine going to Arby's for a classic beef and cheddar. But you leave with a permanent roommate. The gift that keeps on giving. You get bit by a lip monster. Okay, now you a blister sister. Okay, look, for all those who have a pom pom that resembles roast beef from Arby's, the last thing you want is herpes because now your vagina looks like the number three combo with extra horseradish sauce. Okay, Amanda and everybody listening, please don't let your anger make you disgusting, okay? If somebody makes you mad, learn better conflict resolution skills. Take a physical time out. Step away from the person to prevent saying, or in this case, doing things you will regret later. Okay? Practice some deep breathing to reverse your body's fight or flight mode. But don't turn yourself into a biological weapon. Okay? A biohazard banshee. And go out of your way to hurt people. Like I said earlier, this whole system is built on trust. And this is why trust is everything. When I pull up to the drive thru at Arby's, I expect a simple order of curly fries, not a simplex virus. Please give this former Arby's employee, Amanda Hendrix the biggest he haw. It's some nasty people on this planet.

[Breakfast Club Co-host (possibly DJ Envy or Angela Yee)]

That is crazy.

[DJ Envy]

Y' all don't play again?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's disgusting.

[Breakfast Club Co-host (possibly DJ Envy or Angela Yee)]

You want to play somebody Arby's?

[DJ Envy]

I won't play a game.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let me pull up her picture.

[Breakfast Club Co-host (possibly DJ Envy or Angela Yee)]

It was bragging about it. I already know what she is.

[DJ Envy]

Nasty.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That is nasty. All right, let's play a game of guess what. What?

[Angela Yee]

Racist.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Amanda Hendrix. White man. Shut up. Oklahoma woman named Amanda Hendrix had herpes and decided to spit in somebody's food at Arby's. And now that person has herpes, too. DJ envy, guess what?

[Angela Yee]

Racist.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why is she white? There's a lot of white context.

[DJ Envy]

I mean, it just. Just feels very white.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Just hilarious. Amanda Hendricks, the Oklahoma woman, worked at Arby's and spit in another woman's food and gave her herpes. Please tell me, guess what race she is.

[Breakfast Club Co-host (possibly DJ Envy or Angela Yee)]

She's white.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why?

[DJ Envy]

Why are you so confident?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Is it Oklahoma?

[Breakfast Club Co-host (possibly DJ Envy or Angela Yee)]

Oh, yeah. Oh, it's Arby's. It's Oklahoma.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Black people work. Amanda Hendrix.

[Breakfast Club Co-host (possibly DJ Envy or Angela Yee)]

Amanda. Forget the Hendrix. Just Amanda. Yeah, she definitely is white. And it was bragging about it. Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

What you got? What you got? What you got? Come on, tell us.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'll be honest with you. I don't know what race she is.

[DJ Envy]

What you mean?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because I'm sitting there thinking they show they got somebody lip on the mug

[DJ Envy]

shot, but there was a lip on the mug shot and she's white.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, it's white, but the victim was white.

[Breakfast Club Co-host (possibly DJ Envy or Angela Yee)]

I can literally tell the victim was white.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes.

[Breakfast Club Co-host (possibly DJ Envy or Angela Yee)]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So I'm gonna just assume we don't even know. No, but I'm gonna assume. I'm gonna go. I think we.

[Breakfast Club Co-host (possibly DJ Envy or Angela Yee)]

All right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think Yeah, I think that y' all are absolutely correct. Amanda Hendrix is Caucasian. Oh, yeah, she is. That's her right there. See?

[Breakfast Club Co-host (possibly DJ Envy or Angela Yee)]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yep. She definitely white.

[Breakfast Club Co-host (possibly DJ Envy or Angela Yee)]

She's white, right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's white, right? That's why. I don't know.

[DJ Envy]

That look a little mixed.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She look a little miscellaneous in the face.

[DJ Envy]

And her last name?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hendrix, what you think, like 50, 50 like that?

[DJ Envy]

We half right? We half right?

[Breakfast Club Co-host (possibly DJ Envy or Angela Yee)]

All right.

[DJ Envy]

All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Now when we come back, we're going to chop it up with the mayor of New York City, Mayor Zoran Mamdani. All right, well, what are we going to do?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, I don't know. He on the line or something?

[Breakfast Club Co-host (possibly DJ Envy or Angela Yee)]

Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, all right. Okay.

[Breakfast Club Co-host (possibly DJ Envy or Angela Yee)]

He's on the line.

[Angela Yee]

You don't be paying attention.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, I can tell.

[DJ Envy]

All right, when we come back, we're going to be kicking it with Vegas Ron Mamdani. So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
