Episode Overview

On this episode of The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne Tha God delivers his signature "Donkey of the Day" segment, shining a spotlight on Cleo Williams Jr., a Kansas man who took things way too far during his arrest.

The hosts use their sharp humor and candid commentary to break down the incident, its implications, and broader lessons on personal discipline.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

Breakdown of the Incident (02:11)

• Charlamagne introduces the segment (as Donkey of the Day), focusing on Cleo Williams Jr.:
  • 44-year-old from Kansas, arrested in December 2024 after a domestic disturbance.
  • While being handcuffed, Cleo kissed the arresting officer’s neck.
  • Found guilty of sexual battery against a police officer.

"Sometimes I see 'Junior' in people’s names and I say, boy, that senior must be embarrassed. Okay? And today is one of those days. See, Cleo Williams Jr. is a freaky ass boy." — Charlamagne Tha God [02:17]

On Lack of Discipline

• Charlamagne’s take on self-restraint and consequences:
  • Jokes about people being ruled by "cheeks" and lacking what he repeatedly calls "D discipline" (sexual discipline).
  • Stresses the importance of men controlling their "stomach, tongue, and penis," claiming this would solve "99% of problems."
  • Warns that poor self-discipline leads to trouble, just as it did for Cleo.

"A man has to learn to control three things. His stomach, his tongue and his penis, okay? A man that has learned to control those three things to solve 99 of those problems, okay?" — Charlamagne Tha God [03:02]

The Sexualization of Handcuffs (03:40)

• Comments on how some people are turned on by symbols of control, such as handcuffs.
• Jokes that maybe Cleo couldn’t help himself because handcuffs are associated with "a thrilling submissive dynamic."

"Some people sexualize handcuffs, okay? That’s why they sell them in sex stores. People like the control, the power exchange...that feeling of vulnerability and surrender. People find that exciting. And Cleo must have been one of those people." — Charlamagne Tha God [03:48]

Humor and Absurdity

• Playful speculation about whether the officer was a man or woman:
  • If it was a male officer, jokes that jail would provide further opportunities.
  • If female, suggests Cleo wanted “one little taste of female flesh” before incarceration.
• Uses phrases like "stop and frisk turned to stop and kiss" for comedic effect.
• Reiterates the lesson: channel urges into productive goals, not short-term pleasure.

"You can kiss all the men's you want to in jail, unless, of course, you really, really, really, you know, get bricked up over a man in uniform." — Charlamagne Tha God [04:40]

Community Reaction and Closing (06:12)

• Plays “The Sweet Sounds of the Hamiltones” as part of the Donkey of the Day tradition.
• Exchange among hosts about the absurdity and hilarity of the case.
• Angela Yee teases DJ Envy about yelling out Cleo’s name, maintaining a playful banter.

"You are the donkey of the day. Hee-haw, scream his name out now. Envy. Yeah, you screamed his name out a little while ago. Scream it out now. Nope. Yeah, you don't scream it out. Crazy." — Angela Yee [06:15]
