made it 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.

Charlamagne.

[Podcast Advertiser]

Give it to him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Give it to him. You are a donkey. That is why Charlamagne is here. Some donkey today's just saw themselves on the breakfast. Okay, Charlamagne, who we giving donkey of the day to today? Donkey of the day for Monday August 3rd goes to a 33 year old Kentucky woman named Nada Roman. Nada is what I call a belligerent big back. Okay? A hangry. Hangry. Hippo. All right. See, some of us love food more than others. Some of us eat to live. Some of us love to eat. Some of us are the reason God decided to make a sin called gluttony in the first place. Okay? Do you ever think about that? Do you ever think about the fact that somebody was being so greedy at a buffet before Christ that God decided to make eating too much a sin? He made that rule for people like Nade. See, Nade was sitting in the drive thru at kfc. Drop on the clues. Bombs for kfc. Kentucky Fried Chicken. Question, how does Kentucky Fried Chicken taste in Kentucky? It got a slab, right? I mean folks in Kentucky, feel free to hit me on IG at C2God Cthagod or call us 1-800-585-1051 because I would just assume Kentucky Fried Chicken must taste better in Kentucky. And if Nada is willing to take penitentiary chances for it. If Nada did her jail math and it added up to the crime she committed for it, it must be worth it. What crime are you talking about, Uncle Charlotte? Let's go to KYT for the report please. You at 4 Lexington woman has been arrested after an incident at KFC.

[News Reporter]

Nada Roman was arrested yesterday for an incident that happened back in May. Her criminal complaint says. On May 11, officers responded to the KFC on Richmond Road around 6pm A KFC employee said Roman was in the drive thru line and became upset. Upset about how long her order was taking. The employee said Roman then parked her car and took an AR15 style rifle and pointed it at them. Police were able to locate Roman through security cameras and searching for her license plate.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Fat and the Furious part nine. Okay, let me tell you about Kentucky Fried Chicken. First of all, I have a deep love and reverence for Kentucky Fried Chicken. Okay? When we were young, my now wife who was my girlfriend back then, used to work at kfc. Okay? Those chicken tenders with those potato wedges. My God. Okay, that pot pie with some mashed potatoes? What is you talking about? And I used to get free food, okay? Sometimes the line at KFC would be too long. I would just wait patiently until it was my turn. Okay? Now look, granted, I've never been built like a refrigerator, so I don't know how it feels to be a furious fridge. You know, stomach growling. People don't know if it's about to rain or if it's just your stomach rumbling, thunder, tummy. Okay, well, even if that is the case, there's nothing that should make you pull out an AR15 style rifle and then allegedly point it at the employee in a threatening manner before driving away. Okay? What on KFC menu caused you to act like that? Was it the popcorn chicken? Okay, it couldn't have been the KFC snacker combo because that wouldn't be enough food for you. I know you didn't order that. You ordered one of those family meals for yourself. I'm looking at your mugshot. I don't know why it's not up on the computer screen. I wish I could steer a mug shot. Okay? Matter of fact, let me pull up her picture. Hold on. So y' all can see. I don't see. Look at that. Hold on. Look at that. Oh, my. Yeah, let me see. Yeah. That is not. You know what I'm saying? I know an eight piece build a bucket face when I see one. Okay, listen, America, the real issue isn't the chicken, okay? Our native Roman being plus sized and starving. The real issue is the inability to regulate emotions, okay? A long drive through. Wait. Isn't an emergency, and it's damn sure not a reason to pull out an AR15 style rifle, okay, and point it at an employee. Pulling out a gun because your order is taking too long is a sign that maybe, just maybe, you've lost all perspective, okay? I'm telling you right now. If your emotional regulation is so bad that a delayed double mash meal, which is exactly what her chin and neck looks like, okay? Double masks. Okay? If your emotional regulation is so bad that a delay double mash meal has you reaching for an AR15, you don't need extra crispy, okay? You need extra therapy, all right? Patience is a life skill. If a drive through line can make you want to almost shoot someone, the problem isn't kfc. It's you. Please give Nate a Roman. The sweet sounds and the hamiltones.

Oh, now you are the doggy of the day.

You are the dog of the day. Let Remy Ma give Nate a Roman. The biggest he ha.

[Podcast Host]

I wanted to do you stupid? Are you dumb?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I wanted to do Remy first, but I didn't want to trigger Laura. Oh, man. Are you sure that's a girl?

Yo, that was my question. She don't look like somebody badass.

She do look like somebody alternative school. That little fat bully. Remember that little fat bully from back in the day that. The boondock?

[Podcast Host]

That's what I'm saying.

[State Farm Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Everybody had one of them in their class.

I didn't know that was a you show.

Middle school used to pick on everybody.

Did you just assume?

No, it says a woman. Yeah, a woman has been arrested after the legend said. I can see why y' all would say that, though.

I trust you.

That's crazy.

And just fun fact. Kentucky Fried Chicken in Jamaica. Amazing slaps. What?

[Podcast Host]

Them fast food restaurants that out, I

[Charlamagne Tha God]

thought it was the one in any other country is better than here. They said the one in Trinidad, too. The one in Trinidad maybe in all the creamy dollars.

[Michelle]
