It's a read, but you're so good at it, you're trying to be a fake ass. Charlamagne. There's only one Charlemagne involved. Damn, Charlemagne. Who you of a dunkey of the day too, man. Well, sexy red donkey of the day 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 or 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 and 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 pick a tissue right next to his eye head. Do he cover his mouth? No, he don't cover his mouth. That's a damn lie. I do cover your eyes telling you that. Sneezing to my elbow. You sneeze into the inside of your elbow. You don't sneeze into your hand. No, but it goes under and it curls around your elbow. Just finished the Donkey of the Day. See what I'm saying? I simply blew my nose this morning. Just 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, 65 years old and he had a roommate. His roommate name is Frank Griswold. 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? So you're doing the bending? No, that's not what that means. Okay? They probably trying to pay 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 Jess. 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 91 1. 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. Lamar 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're 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 sneezes on some food, salt white, 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 a 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 d 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 motherf er. You dumb. Okay, let's just start here. He should have covered his nose. Like, that's the thing. Yeah. Okay. You washing dishes? You can cover your mouth. His reflexes don't work like they used to. Okay, so why are you washing dishes? Knees 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. Get out the food that the whole family eat. We don't want you germs on the food. Them babies eating that? Yup. That makes y' all I Mr. Plague. You said the plague. It's the plague. You come. You shouldn't correct nobody about nothing. I'm correcting. Okay, I'm correcting you, sir. It just don't make no sense. Especially if you didn't each other ass. How do you know that's what Dick and and Richie. 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 a 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’s “Donkey of the Day,” Charlamagne Tha God delivers a biting and humorous breakdown of a bizarre and tragic story: a 65-year-old man, Richard Lombardi, killed his 80-year-old roommate, Frank Griswold, after a confrontation that started when Griswold sneezed near the Thanksgiving dinner food. The Breakfast Club team uses this real headline to discuss germophobia, the absurdity of overreactions, roommate dynamics, and how small moments can lead to shocking consequences.
The hosts discuss the unusual pairing of a 65-year-old and an 80-year-old as roommates, humorously speculating about their relationship.
“Why the hell are a 65 year old man and an 80 year old man roommates? Why are Dick and Frank shacking up? ...Ain’t nothing wrong with being a little gay. Everybody's a little gay.”
— Charlamagne (09:50)
Jess Hilarious and Charlamagne banter about the men’s long friendship, saving money, and possible romantic tension, mixing humor with the seriousness of the crime.
Charlamagne uses the story for a larger lesson on letting small, emotional triggers escalate, highlighting the consequences of bad decisions.
Quote:
“All you had to do was say 'God bless you,' but instead, you let it stress you.”
— Charlamagne (14:49)
He questions the seriousness of germophobia leading to violence and notes the illogical escalation, considering their 20 years of cohabitation.
“There’s not a germ he has that you don’t have, okay? If he sneezes on some food, salt white, he’s probably put worse bodily fluids in stranger places all around that residence.”
— Charlamagne (13:55)
On overreacting to sneezes:
“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. … Why are you being a Richard about this?”
— Charlamagne (08:30)
On long-term roommates and germs:
“You’ve been living with this man for 20 years. There’s not a germ he has you don’t have.”
— Charlamagne (13:40)
On consequences:
“One wrong move and you’re done for, okay? Life is all about choices, decisions, decisions. ... You don’t realize how important decisions are until you make the wrong one.”
— Charlamagne (14:35)
This episode of The Breakfast Club uses a shocking, tragic headline to spark a wide-ranging and comedic (though insightful) discussion. The hosts blend dark humor, social commentary, and their trademark banter, ultimately warning listeners about the dangers of letting minor irritations spiral out of control. The final message? A sneeze should never lead to violence; sometimes, all you need to do is say “God bless you”—and move on.
