[Charlamagne tha God]

The Breakfast Club, bitches. Donkey of the day. But Charlamagne, a guy, I don't know why y' all keep letting him get y' all like this. No, Lil Duvall, it's not me. It's Florida. Okay, Donkey of the day for Tuesday, December 2nd goes to a 48 year old Florida man named Darius Davis. Okay? Darius Davis is from Miami Dade, Florida. Okay, Drop on the clues. Bombs from Miami Dade. All right. What does your Uncle Charlotte always say about the great state of Florida? Say it with me. The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. And today is no exception. Okay? Salute to every black man out there who still has a hairline. All right. God bless you all. I remember those days of having one. And what bothers me the most is I feel like I got cheated because back in the day, I got my wig pushed back by a whack barber. Okay? You know, one of those barbers trying to get that line sharp, but in the process of them trying to get it sharp, they just keep pushing your hairline back further and further, okay? I really feel like that got me started on the path to baldness, okay? That barber snatched my edges, all right? My hairline never fully recovered. And from the barber pushing my hairline back, okay? Every black man out there knows the pain of getting your hairline pushed back. And then finally at some point, you just say, eff it. Cut it all off. Okay? We were forced to go bald because a barber pushed our hairlines back. All right? Tragic. Now, Darius did something that a lot of men dream about doing when their hairline gets pushed back. And that something is violence. What do you mean violence, Uncle Charlotte? Well, let's go to Local 10 News for the report, please.

[Podcast Host / Narrator]

Darius Davis is in jail once again after police spent a few days looking for him following a violent encounter at a barbershop. Security video from that day shows Davis walking back into square biz with a gun and threatening the owner, Samuel Wilson. Wilson says this was all over an issue with Davis hairline. The barber says he's been doing Davis hair for a while and never had an issue before.

[Charlamagne tha God]

He wasn't a man till he had that pistol in his hand, slapped me in the head with it. Choked me out. He got it.

[Podcast Host / Narrator]

In the video, you can see Davis force Wilson to the couch and hit him with the gun. Newly obtained arrest forms for Davis show police took him into custody a few days later after a traffic stop. The 48 year old was booked into jail before appearing in bond court over the weekend multiple times.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I did not think he was going to come around here and come back. I thought we might have fisticuff, but I didn't think he was going to come back with a firearm. I told him, man, have a good day.

[Podcast Host / Narrator]

Davis is facing several charges. The judge set his bond at about $35,000. Has since posted.

[Charlamagne tha God]

First of all, before we continue the story, I want to say salute to all the barbers out there dropping the clues bombs for every barber that can hear my voice. Barbers are pillars in the black community, my brothers. When you really put it in perspective, there aren't too many people more important to the black community. All right, some of y' all don't go to church, but you go to a barbershop at least twice a week. All right? So the barber more important than your pastor. All right? Some of you all see your barber more than you see your doctor, which is a good thing because I guess you're healthy. But once again, your barber is more important to you than your doctor. Hell, some folks wouldn't even want to go to the doctor without a haircut. All right, the moral of the story is we gonna stop acting like barbers aren't a part of our circle of life. For me, as spiritual leaders, therapists, barbers, doctor, dermatologist, personal trainer. Okay, what is the moral of the story? The moral of the story is barbers should be given the utmost respect at all times. Unless. And there is an unless. Unless they are a terrible barber. Okay? No barber deserves violence. Unless, of course, they are terrible. But even if they are terrible, even if there is a barber malpractice, they don't deserve to get a gun pulled on them. All right? There's levels to violence. Don't like your fade, then ask for a fade. All right? But pulling a gun, that's too much. All right? Actually asking for a fist fight or fisticuffs is too much. Okay? You can just say he sucks. That's worse than actually pulling a gun on someone or fighting them because nobody wants to be the barber in the shop that nobody goes to. That is one of the most lonely men in the world. You hear me? Okay? And they always fat because they have nothing else to do but sit there and eat while everybody else on their feet all day because they got actual clients. All right? Now, for the record, most people wouldn't react to having their headline pushed back in this way. But you always have to know who you playing with. Darius is a convicted felon, all right? And he is a known violent offender. He had an armed robbery charge in 93 and 98 and burglary with assault in 98. He did prison time from 99 to 2004 and from 2006 to 2017. So clear, clearly, Darius about all that action, okay? So anything can set him off. And I don't think people understand what not having a hairline does to some men. It can trigger violence, all right? Some men don't have the head for a baldy. And the thought of them having to get one is infur. Infuriating. I thank God he gave me the kind of skull that looks cool with a baldi, okay? Because everyone can't do it, and they know it. Everybody doesn't want to wear the man unit, okay? Everybody doesn't want to do the painted on hairlines, but they also know how ridiculous they could look with a baldy. Think about, you know, how we had to get used to seeing Steve Harvey with a baldy. Took some time for us to adjust, right? Remember Miguel R and B singer? Miguel, when he first came out with a baldi, looked ridiculous, okay? LeBron James couldn't have a baldi, okay? I could tell by his head shape. Yet another reason he will never be Michael Jordan. Okay, who are some other people who look ridiculous with a baldy? Just who you think. Cynthia Riva. Damn. Okay, first of all, I'm talking about men, Jess.

[DJ Envy]

What the hell?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Cynthia Riva. All right? Anyway, I don't know. I even asked you the moral of the story when the only thing sharper than the clippers is your temple trim. The attitude, not the argument. Okay? Please give Darius Davis the sweet sounds of the Hamiltones. Of the day. He haul. Yes, indeed.

[Ad Voice]

Ew.

[DJ Envy]

That's crazy. Yo, Miguel.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Head was crazy. He looked ridiculous. Go back and look at Miguel when he first came out with a ball and he did it in the reverse. Usually people start with him.

[Ad Voice]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne tha God]

And then go bald. And look, Miguel started off bald. Go back and look. Y' all don't remember Miguel when he first came out?

[DJ Envy]

Definitely.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I was definitely. You don't remember Miguel when you first came out and he had the bald head?

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, that was different.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Well, that's. That was. That was all I wanted. You, Miguel, you playing the dawn, he had hair by doing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nah, that was that. Yeah, that's when he was born.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, wow.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah, that's what I'm trying to tell you. Getting real eggy around here, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Wow. All right.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Damn.

[DJ Envy]

All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today, sir.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah. You said one too many dams when looking at a man. Right. You looked at that man. You looked at Miguel for 30 seconds and said, seven dams. He ain't need no seven dams because.

[DJ Envy]
