Key Discussion Points and Insights

---

1. Donkey of the Day: The Oil Filter Double Homicide

• Story Recap (03:39 – 05:10):

  • Ishmael Tenna, 27, is accused of murdering two O’Reilly Auto Parts employees in New Mexico after a dispute over oil filters.
  • Tenna called 911, claiming self-defense, but was charged with two counts of open murder after police investigation.
  • KRQ News 13 reports the specifics and names the victims: 47-year-old Richard Newman and 18-year-old Jesus Valdez.

• Host’s Perspective (04:39 – 05:10):

  • Juju Green emphasizes the role of trust in a civilized society and how tragedies like this highlight how fragile that trust can be.
  • Warns listeners: "There's way more humans doing the right thing than it is people like Ishmael Tenna. There's a lot of decent men in this country of demons, but Ishmael Tenna is not one of them." (04:04)
  • Critiques those who act as vigilantes over mere property: "That business isn’t dying for you and you shouldn’t die for said business... Call law enforcement. There’s no need to play vigilante." (05:15)

• On Trauma and Emotional Reactivity:

  • Relates the violence to broader patterns of unhealed trauma and irrational decision-making: "Unhealed trauma is leading people to project that pain and hurt... Ishmael should have realized a long time ago that his feelings are temporary. But prison is permanent." (05:38)
  • Summarizes the core lesson: "Make permanent decisions based on temporary emotions or you will find yourself by yourself in a prison cell or even worse, a casket." (05:49)

---

2. Relationship Talk: “Break Babies” and Accountability

• Transition to Relationships (07:02 – 08:04):

  • The conversation pivots from violence to matters of the heart, as Juju Green references the cast of Hulu's “Reasonable Doubt” and debate around infidelity and breakup babies (“break babies”).

• Personal Anecdotes (08:16 – 09:55):

  • Lauren LaRosa shares a personal story about reconciling with a partner who had a “break baby” during a temporary separation. Feelings of betrayal stemmed from how information was withheld and the breaking of mutually agreed rules during the break.

  "We had had conversations about what the rules of the break were... Nobody ends up pregnant. And no full relationships during this break." – Lauren LaRosa (09:44)

• Debate About Forgiveness and Choices:

  • Juju Green pushes for accountability: "If you choose to get back with that individual, there should be nothing to complain about." (09:11)
  • Lauren counters with the complexity of emotions and expectations: "You still have emotions involved and that's a, it's a whole human. So don't take the person. It's not that easy." (10:57)
  • The segment ends by inviting listeners to share their views: “What is our opinion of break babies, huh? What is our opinion? They are break babies. Little break baby.” (11:03)

[Paul Thomas Anderson]

So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey man, hit me with the hero.

[Juju Green]

Did she get donkey today? Please tell me.

Absolutely.

I had become Lord have mercy of the day. The Breakfast Club donkey today for Monday, September 22 goes to a New Mexico man named ishmael Tina. He's 27 years old y as far as I'm concerned, okay? And he's accused of two counts of open murder in the first degree. It is some cold blooded killers out here, man. Okay? I was talking to my wife last night and I was telling her how we live in a world that for the most part is just. It's just built on trust. Like we all have to trust each other in order for us to have a civilized society. Okay, what do I mean by that? I mean everything from waking up to take public transportation. I don't care if it's a bus, rideshare service, train, airplane. You have to trust whoever is driving that vehicle to get you to your destination safely. You have to trust all the passengers on those rides. Not going to bug out, okay? We drop our kids off at school. We have to trust the principals and trust the teachers and trust the staff to take care of our kids. Humans have to have this trust system, okay? Humans have to trust other humans to not be crazy in order for us to have a civilized society. That's the only thing that keeps this world civilized. Insane for the most part. And we do a good job, you know, give or take. All right? Because there's way more humans doing the right thing than it is people like Ishmael Tina. Okay? There's a lot of decent men in this country of demons, but Ishmael Tina is not one of them. Okay? See, two people are dead because of Ishmael. And I know some of y' all might be saying people get shot every day B but no, they're not supposed to. Okay? I know Charlie Kirk once said, I think it's worth it to have a cost of unfortunately some gun deaths every single year so we can have the second amendment to protect our other God given rights. I don't all the way agree with that, okay? Because majority of these gun deaths are just senseless and this is just the latest example. Let's go to KRQ News 13 for the report. Please.

[KRQ News Reporter]

Calling 91 1-only to end up in handcuffs himself. That's the pattern for 27 year old Ismail 10 up who is most recently behind bars for the deadly shooting of two O'Reilly Auto Parts employees following a dispute over an oil filter. Court records Show Tana called 911 shortly after that Sunday shooting outside the store near Coors and Blake that killed 47 year old Richard Newman and and 18 year old Jesus Valdez. Tenna told the dispatcher the two employees came after him and he was scared for his life. But when Bernalillo county deputies arrived, they determined Tenna should be charged with two counts of murder.

[Juju Green]

It's Monday. Man. Oil filters. Oil filters. Two people shot dead because of oil filters. RIP to Richard Newman, 47, and Jesus Valdez, 18. I feel sorry for those individuals. That poor 18 year old young man, life just getting started have been his first job. Now they dead over oil filters. Let me also take the time to say I don't care where you work, okay? I don't care what the place of employment is. I can assure you that business isn't dying for you and you shouldn't die for said business. Okay? If that man and his father walked out of there with oil filters without paying, call the police. Okay? Call law enforcement. There's no need to play vigilante. There's no need to go after those individuals. Let them have whatever they took because people are crazy. I don't think y' all understand how unhealed trauma is leading people to project that pain and hurt they are feeling onto other individuals. Yes, two people killed in New Mexico over oil filters. But trust and believe there's somebody somewhere today who will get killed for less. Why? Because of other people's underlying trauma. Okay? Ishmael should have realized a long time ago that his feelings are temporary. But prison is permanent. Especially when you charged with two counts of murder. And that is the lesson I want us all to take from this story. That's what I want y' all to understand from donkey of the day to day. Make permanent decisions based on temporary emotions or you will find yourself by yourself in a prison cell or even worse, a casket. Please give Ishmael Tina the biggest. He haw oil filters. It's beyond sad. Okay, now let's woo saw because Lauren LaRosa was in here crying about something earlier. Well, you weren't crying, but you'll be reminiscing though. You hear certain things and you get triggered.

Yeah.

And we had to cast a reasonable doubt here last week, and this conversation sparked from that. From that conversation. If you really love the person, you probably would have been more careful. You wouldn't have cheated to begin with. Right?

You can say that about a lot of things.

That's what I'm saying. Go a little bit further on that. If she really cheated, what happened?

When women cheat. I got you, sis. Women do their thing is different. Just because I love Jacks.

[Regina Hall]

That's why I'm saying cheating, man, woman, other. Cheating is cheating.

[Juju Green]

Cheating. They were separated. You forgot.

This is what I'm talking about.

[Regina Hall]

Like, we can't do that, though.

[Juju Green]

Pregnant, though. Getting.

At me now, for everybody who watches Reasonable Doubts, you know that Jax and her husband Lewis are dealing with the aftermath of a break baby that Lewis and Tony had. And even though it's a TV show that happened to you in real life.

[Morgan Wood]

Lauren.

[Juju Green]

Take a deep breath and. And tell the story. Don't curse and stuff like you did when the mics were off. Just. Just tell the story calmly.

My story or Jackson?

Your story? We know what happened with Jackson. Story.

We.

Your pain is way more hilarious to me, but go ahead.

You are a horrible person. Okay, so somebody that I was seeing a while ago who doesn't matter anymore. We moved to a different. No, they don't. We. I moved to a different state and I was like, you know what? Let's just take a break. This ain't working out. We say. I. I even said, you can go ahead and see other people. Because let's just be honest, we're in two different states. I'm in la, you're across the country. Okay, baby. That lets the other people led to a baby, which is okay.

And then you got back with the man.

I decided to get back with him. I'm no longer with him, though.

Let's talk about accountability. Okay.

Yes.

Now, if you and a person decide to take a break and y' all say, we're taking a break and you see other people, if that person goes out there and gets another individual pregnant, and then you choose choice. Remember that? Choice. Choose. Choice. Choice. Choose. You choose to get back with that individual. There should be nothing to complain about.

So my only complaint was there shouldn't be any complaint. No, my only complaint was that there was a lot of lying that happened. Like, I. And also I shouldn't have had to hear from some. From anybody else. But the person that I was in a relationship with for all that time.

She still chose to take the person back even through all of that.

Yeah, but still, things can still upset you and, you know, it hurt a little bit at the time. And also, too, I feel like even though there was a break, we had had conversations about what the rules of the break were.

So y' all had. We knew we were getting no babies.

Yes, we had a conversation. Nobody ends up pregnant. And no full relationships during this break. The plan was to get back together.

Okay. But even with all of that, he went out there, he violated the rules, he had a baby. You still took him back. Lauren, you made a choice. You chose to take that individual back. How can you be mad at that man if you chose to take him back? If it was that serious, you would have took him back.

That's not true. Women take men back for things that are very serious all the time.

But you still made the choice is what I'm saying. You made a choice to get back with this person. So what is the issue? 1-800-585-1051. I ain't say I ate nothing. I'm just throwing things out. What is it?

What is the question? Because I'm confused.

Why? What is. What is the question? I guess we're just having a discussion about break babies. Should that be a deal breaker in a relationship? Because my thing is if people, if the women are choosing to take these men back after they have babies or vice versa, I'm sure there's situations where a man chose to take a woman back if she had a baby. If they're choosing to have these, if they're, if y' all are choosing to take these individuals back, why is it a problem?

Because you still have emotions involved and that's a, it's a whole human. So don't take the person raising. It's not that easy.

Well, let's talk about it. 1-800-585-1051. What is our opinion of break babies? Huh? What is our opinion? They are break babies. Little break baby. Okay, it's the Breakfast Club.

That might not be true.
