Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Introducing the Donkey: The Crime (02:46 – 06:08)

• Charlamagne introduces Samuel Christian Lund as the Donkey of the Day, emphasizing just how incriminating a "slew of charges" truly is.
  • “You never want to be facing a slew of charges… when they say you are facing a slew of charges, you cooked, okay? And it's going to take a slew of money to get you the least possible amount of jail time.” (02:55 – 03:16)
• Breakdown of charges: Attempted murder (5 counts), unlawful use of a weapon (4), manufacturing a destructive device (2), arson (1), and being a felon in possession of a firearm (1).
• Charlamagne’s humor on the seriousness:
  • "Yeah, he's going away for a few presidents. Okay? Beyoncé and Jay Z's youngest kid will be old enough to drink and Samuel will be in prison celebrating his 15 year anniversary with his prison bay.” (03:33 – 03:44)
• Summary of the crime:
  • Samuel detonated a bomb at his ex-girlfriend’s apartment out of anger after learning she’d moved on.

2. "Pum Must Be the Bomb": Relationship Hot Take (04:44 – 05:32)

• Charlamagne and Lauren riff on a clip discussing "wack" sex and relationships, using it as a springboard for the segment.
• Memorable quote/joke:
  • “If this man is willing to detonate an explosive device after learning that woman is giving what he used to get to another man, then dare I say, her pum must be the bomb.” (04:49 – 05:05)
  • “That's like moon rock weed where the THC is over 50%. You might as well smoke crack. And I’m not smoking crack because I seen what crack does to people and this woman’s pom pom was clearly crack.” (05:12 – 05:26)
• They play a news clip summarizing the police investigation and arrest.

3. Toxic Reactions: The Need for Emotional Intelligence (06:08 – 08:40)

• Charlamagne highlights the absurdity of men retaliating violently over relationships:
  • “Emotional intelligence is so necessary, okay? People with high emotional intelligence… make more considered and well balanced decisions. It disturbs my spirit to have to tell some of you men, a woman moving on from you doesn't justify you turning into a domestic terrorist, okay? This is why women are choosing the bear.” (06:15 – 06:42)
• Critique of Samuel’s response to police:
  • Samuel admitted to threatening texts and being experienced with explosives, even admitting he had a bomb in his garage, but denied setting off the bomb at his ex’s apartment: “No, no, he didn’t detonate the bomb. However, he did tell police he had experience with explosives and had a bomb in his backpack in his garage. But I had nothing to do with the bomb going off at her apartment offices. I promise.” (07:05 – 07:18)
• Mocking Samuel's logic:
  • “Who has extra bombs just lying around? Where do you even get bombs from? Do you buy a couch and join a militia in the same afternoon?” (07:23 – 07:30)
• Encouragement to "glow up" instead of retaliating:
  • “Men, you got to learn to move on because there's going to be another woman. But you cannot get back that time you gonna spend in prison. What happened to people stunting on their exes by glowing up, okay?” (07:45 – 07:59)
• Takeaway:
  • “Wounded ego plus bad decisions equal a consequence you have to deal with for a lifetime.” (08:26 – 08:30)

4. The Guessing Game: "Guess What Race It Is" (08:55 – 10:15)

• Charlamagne and Lauren play their recurring “Guess What Race It Is” game, asking Jess Hilarious and Lauren to guess the background of Samuel Christian Lund.
  • Lauren: “Either Middle Eastern or white.” (09:15 – 09:17)
  • Charlamagne confirms: “Both of you are absolutely correct. Samuel Christian Lund's Caucasian. Big white. It's Capitol Hill Riot white.” (09:45 – 10:01)
• Joking back-and-forth about stereotypes and how Samuel "looks like a big blob of sperm" (10:15 – 10:26).
  • Lauren: “System's on his side. That's what that look like.” (10:35)
  • Charlamagne: “He'll do it again. He don’t care. That’s the kind of ID... system’s on his side.” (10:30 – 10:37)

5. Closing Jokes and Taglines (10:40 – 11:07)

• Lauren and Charlamagne banter about whether anyone’s ever tried to blow something up for their affection (playfully, of course).
• The segment wraps with Lauren LaRosa prepping for the next call-in advice segment: “If you got problems at work, problems with your spouse… call me up...” (10:54 – 11:06)

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I was born a donkey. It's the donkey of the Charlemagne, the devil. I Agree with you. That's a good topic. We're gonna do that one. Donkey of the day for Thursday, November 13th goes to a 37 year old Oregon man named Samuel Christian Lund. Christian Samuel Rather. Samuel is facing a slew of charges. Say slew, Jess. Slew. Sleep. I want y' all out there to know that you never want to be facing a slew of charges, okay? When they do a write up on you and they say you are facing a slew of charges, you cooked, okay? And it's going to take a slew of money to get you the least possible amount of jail time when you are facing a slew of charges. Okay? But Samuel is facing five counts of attempted murder, all right? Four counts of unlawful use of a weapon, two counts of unlawful manufacture, manufacturing of a destructive device, along with one count each of first degree arson and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Yeah, he's going away for a few presidents. Okay? Beyonce and Jay Z's youngest kid will be old enough to drink. And Samuel will be in prison celebrating his 15 year anniversary with his prison bay. Okay, but let's talk about how he got there. See, Samuel allegedly detonated a bomb at an apartment after he learned his ex girlfriend was hooking up with another man. Now, Lauren LaRosa, she heard me listening to this clip from the Poor Minds podcast earlier. Salute to Dre and Lex. Make sure you subscribe to their podcast on the Black Effect podcast network. Listen to this clip.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It's boring sex, a red flag. And should it be a red flag for women? No, because I think some people deep just wait. And some people she wag too. And y' all get together and y' all have wax.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Now, Lauren, what'd you ask me after you heard this?

[Lauren LaRosa]

I said, how is somebody's coochie wag? Like, I just can't fathom the idea.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well. Well, that's a. That's probably a discussion for another day. But I know that if this man is willing to detonate an explosive device after learning that woman is giving what he used to get to another man, then dare I say, her pum must be the bomb. Okay? I mean, God damn. You willing to take a penitentiary chance and catch a slew of charges because your ex is hooking up with another man? I actually don't want no poom poom. That's good. All right, keep that. That's like that moon rock. That moon rock weed where the THC is over 50%. You might as well smoke crack. And I'm not smoking crack because I Seen what crack does to people and this woman's pom pom was clearly crack. Let's go to KRCR News Channel 7 for more details.

[News Reporter]

Are investigating an explosion at a home last Thursday. Deputies responded to North 10th Avenue on report that an explosion explosive device was thrown at a front door. Investigators found evidence of gunshots as authorities discovered this was a targeted attack and the suspect may have known the victim. After a search warrant at the suspect's home, 37 year old Samuel Lund was arrested after he briefly tried to flee. Investigators also found additional explosive devices in his home. Lund was taken to the Washington County Jail and is now facing several charges including attempted murder and arson.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That was Fox 12, by the way. Yes. The woman reportedly told cops her ex boyfriend, Samuel Christian Lund had been sending her threatening text messages the day before after he learned she was hooking up with another man. Listen, man, emotional intelligence is so necessary, okay? People with high emotional intelligence, they stay calm under pressure which helps them make more considered and well balanced decisions. It disturbs my spirit to have to tell some of you men, a woman moving on from you doesn't justify you turning into a domestic terrorist, okay? This is why women are choosing the bear. Now, I could already stop right there and give Samuel the credit he deserves for being stupid, but this is when it gets good. See, I like to watch people really double and triple down on their lies because it reminds me of something my daddy used to say to me. And that something was, when you lie to me, you not lying to me, you lying to yourself. Because I don't believe this foolishness you telling me. And I know the police didn't believe Samuel. See, when they confronted him, he reportedly admitted to sending the messages but claimed he didn't detonate the bomb. No, no, he didn't detonate the bomb. However, he did tell police he had experience with explosives and had a bomb in his backpack in his garage. But I had nothing to do with the bomb going off at her apartment offices. I promise. Yes, I did threaten her and tell her I'm coming for her. And a bomb was detonated. And although I have experiences with explosives and a bomb in my backpack in my garage, it wasn't me. Wasn't me. First of all, who has extra bombs just lying around? Where do you even get bombs from? Did you order it off Amazon? Craigslist? Do you buy a couch and join a militia in the same afternoon? Second of all, I know for a fact you about to spend more time in prison than time you spent with this woman in a relationship. How the hell does that make sense? Men, you got to learn to move on because there's going to be another woman. But you cannot get back that time you gonna spend in prison. What happened to people stunting on their exes by glowing up, okay? Becoming the best version of yourself. Get in shape, physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally. Make them look at you in the future on Facebook and kick themselves for losing you, okay? Not end up in prison and make your ex say, I knew it, I knew it. All her girlfriend's like, I told you he was a loser. You lucky he didn't kill you, girl. This is the shortsightedness of revenge. Wounded ego plus bad decisions equal a consequence you have to deal with for a lifetime. Please give Samuel Christian Lund the sweet sounds of the Hamiltones. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day.
