Charlamagne. There's only one Charlamagne to go. Damn Charlamagne. Who you giving donkey of the Day to now? Well, sexy red Donkey of the day for Wednesday, December 4th. It is amazing, the power of music. When I hear December 4th, I automatically look at that as a national holiday because it is the great Sean Carter, Jay Z's born Day. Drop on a cruise bomb for hold. I wonder, do I even. Would I even know that if he didn't make the song December 4th from the Black Album? I don't know. Just thinking out loud. Anyway, Donkey today is going to a 65 year old man named Richard Lombardi. Also, fun fact, Dick is a common nickname for the name Richard. Why? I don't know. But Richard, our Dick Lombardi, is absolutely living up to his name. See, there are people among us who judge you for doing simple things like coughing, sneezing. Okay, now, I don't know if this judgment started during COVID Remember when Covid had folks scared to cough around other people? We was treating coughs like farts. I personally don't fart around people because I don't fart in my clothes. Yeah, right. And when a man farts around another man, that's flirting because why are you bringing attention to your ass in my presence? Why do you want me to know what your ass may or may not smell like? My point is, there are people amongst us who are so judgmental. When you sneeze, when you blow your nose, I mean, they look at you crazy. They run and grab hand sanitizer. They start screaming for you not to touch nothing. It's a whole production. And I'm like, why are you being a Richard about this? And always remember, dick is a common nickname for Richard. Why are you like this? Just hilarious. Because germs. Germs is crazy. He don't cover his mouth. He will blow his nose and put the tissue right next to his iPad. Do we cover his mouth? No, he don't cover his mouth. That's a damn lie. I do. No, you cover your eyes. He sneezes into my elbow. You sneeze into the inside of your elbow. You don't sneeze into your hand. No, but it goes under and it crawls around your elbow. Just finish the donkey today. See what I'm saying? I simply blew my nose this morning. Jess makes such a production about it that people around here asking me if I'm sick, I'm like, damn. All I do is blow my nose, okay? And the reason I need just to relax is because I don't want her to end up like Richard Lombardi. See, Richard's 65 years old and he had a roommate. His roommate name is Frank Griswald, and Frank is 80 years old. Now, I know what you're thinking. Why the hell are a 65 year old man and an 80 year old man roommates? Why are Dick and Frank shacking up? I think I know the answer to that. Ain't nothing wrong with being a little gay. Everybody's a little gay. That's not what I was thinking. Okay? I was reading this story in the New York Post this morning, and these two men have been friends for three decades and they've been living together for more than 20 years. They probably was just trying to save money. Okay, so that means they met when Frank was 50 and Richard was 35. They clearly became fast friends and have lived together for more than 20 years. What does that mean? Oh, so. So you doing the vending? No, that's not what that means. Okay, they probably just trying to save money. They just Friends. Y'all need to stop. This is a serious situation because Richard is in jail right now because he suffers from the same condition as just hilarious. He can't stand to be around people sneezing, coughing, blowing their nose or anything like that. And guess what? That is a condition, okay? It has to be a condition. And that condition caused Richard to land in jail. Let's go to ABC 5 for the report, please. 65 year old Richard Lombardi in court, accused of killing his 80 year old roommate, Frank Griswold. It happened Wednesday at the home they shared on Main street in Marshfield. He was cooking Thanksgiving dinner, got into an argument with Mr. Griswold, the victim, that he did not want him in the kitchen touching the food. Prosecutors say the two argued. And when Lombardi saw Griswold in the kitchen, he shoved him. He did see the victim, Mr. Griswold, near that food, doing dishes, said that he went over and grabbed Mr. Griswold from behind, grabbed his back and threw Mr. Griswold to the right, tossing him to the side. Lombardi called 911. Prosecutors say he told police Griswold's feet became tangled and he fell and hit his head. He was seen laying face up on the floor of the kitchen there in a pool of blood. Griswold was later pronounced dead. Court documents show he also had cuts on his face. Lombardi is being held without bail. He's back in court next week for a dangerousness hearing. I bet he did grab him by the back. Had that man laying face down, ass up in blood, for no damn reasons. It ain't that deep, okay? It's never that deep because he sneezed over some trash ass. Things giving food. Things giving food is trash. First of all, if you such a germaphobe, why come near me after I sneeze? Also, why put hands on me after I sneeze? If you a real germaphobe, you should be avoiding me like the plague because I might have it. Also, you've been living with this man for 20 years. There's not a germ he has that you don't have, okay? If he sneezed on some food, so what? He's probably put worse bodily fluids in stranger places all around that residence, all right? Not to mention this 80 year old man came in the kitchen to wash the dishes. So they had a nice couple thing going on. Somebody handled the food, somebody handled the cleanup. He was washing dishes before he got to eat. That's the keeper. And one little sneeze caused you to throw this man to the floor and kill him. Especially when you said the police. He said the police that he often sneezes. Y'all been living together 20 years. You know, this man often sneezes. And this one time he sneezes, you throw him to the floor and cause him to die. Face down, ass up in a pool of blood. Always remember, kids, one wrong move and you're done for, okay? Life is all about choices, decisions, decisions. And one wrong decision may destroy your life. So you should think before you make decisions. And you don't realize how important decisions are until you make the wrong one. And you're facing charges of assault and battery and involuntary manslaughter simply because somebody sneezed. And all you had to do was say God bless you, but instead, you let it stress you. Please let Remy Ma give Richard Dick Lombardi the biggest. Hee haw. Hee haw, hee haw. You stupid mother. Are you dumb? Okay, let's just start here. He should have covered his nose. Like, that's the thing. Yeah, okay, if you ate, you washing dishes, you can cover your mouth. His reflexes don't work like they used to. Okay, so why you washing dishes? Sneezes are abrupt. Washing dishes is more of a premeditated thing you prepare for, yo. You wait till you turn 80 and you just sneezing and farting and don't know when. Yo. But I'm not gonna be in the kitchen, yo. He sneezed over the food. They've been living together for 20 years. That don't mean nothing. Listen, if your wife is cooking and you come in that kitchen and you sneeze over the food just going, what? She gonna go off? That would be ridiculous. I've sweated on her. But won't she go off? Yeah, but that's different. You're not the food that the whole family eat. We don't want you germs on the food and them babies eating that. Y'all. That makes sense to y'all. I mean, it's the plague. You said the plague is the plague. You shouldn't correct nobody about nothing. I'm correcting you, okay? I'm correcting you, sir. It just don't make no sense, especially if you didn't 80 other ass. How do you know that's what Dick and. And Rich. What else it sound like they doing? Yo? Well, now, at least he'd be happy in jail then. If this is all. This is all. You know what it is, then you know you can't say that. He ain't got a problem going to jail. All right? No, what he said. Oh, yeah. What Eat. We eating something. You can't eat just. You can't say Thanksgiving dinner. You can't say eat the groceries the way you said it. Yeah, I don't know what you're talking about. Good. All right, well, thank you for that. Donkey Today.

In this episode of The Breakfast Club, host Charlamagne Tha God delves into a disturbing and tragic incident that unfolded during the Thanksgiving season.

Timestamp: [08:30]
Charlamagne begins by introducing the main story of the day:
Charlamagne Tha God [08:35]: "65-year-old Richard Lombardi is currently behind bars after shoving his 80-year-old roommate, Frank Griswold, resulting in Frank's fatal fall during a Thanksgiving dinner argument."
Details of the Incident:
Background: Richard and Frank had been roommates for over 20 years, maintaining a long-standing friendship.
The Argument: On Thanksgiving, while preparing dinner, a disagreement arose when Frank sneezed over some food.
Charlamagne Tha God [09:10]: "Frank came into the kitchen to wash the dishes, and during the chaos, he sneezed over the food, which led Richard to shove him violently."
Charlamagne Tha God [10:05]: "Court documents indicate Frank had multiple cuts on his face, and authorities have charged Richard with assault and battery, as well as involuntary manslaughter."
Timestamp: [12:45]
The conversation shifts to dissecting Richard's behavior and the underlying issues that may have contributed to this tragedy.
Charlamagne Tha God [13:00]: "Richard's actions aren't just about a sneeze; it's about how we handle stress and confrontation in our personal lives."
Key Points Discussed:

Personal Boundaries and Co-Habitation:
Charlamagne Tha God [14:30]: "Living with someone for 20 years means you know each other's habits. For Richard to react violently over a sneeze is beyond irrational."

Charlamagne wraps up the episode by emphasizing the importance of emotional regulation, understanding personal boundaries, and seeking help when dealing with intolerances that could escalate into dangerous situations.
Charlamagne Tha God [20:15]: "Always remember, one wrong move and you're done for. Life is all about the choices we make and how we handle the unexpected."
He urges listeners to be more empathetic towards others, especially in high-stress environments like the holiday season, and to seek professional help if they find themselves struggling with anger management or other related issues.
This episode serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of human relationships and the dire consequences that can arise from unchecked emotions and actions. Charlamagne Tha God successfully weaves a narrative that is both engaging and thought-provoking, encouraging listeners to reflect on their behaviors and the impact they have on those around them.
