Charlamagne tha God
It's your time to nominate a donkey of your own. Remember now, that's is how they choose. Call in now, 800-585-1051. Listen, Donkey today for Friday, March 20th is the People's donkey. This is where I allow folks to call in and give people the credit they deserve for being stupid. But before I do that, I want to give you an update. Okay? Remember, on Monday, I gave Rebel Wilson's PR team donkey of the day, in particular, a digital fixer named Jed Wallace and an entertainment publicist named Melissa Nathan. Because according to the Hollywood Reporter, there was leaked audio that revealed a plot by Rebel Wilson's PR team to smear a movie producer. Yeah. As a sex traffic. Y' all remember that, right? If you don't hear the leak, call. Listen, here's the.
Charlamagne's Associate
The deal with Rebel, and I think you, me and. And Brian and maybe Katie since she'll write this thing. What we have to do is we. The biggest piece here is that we have to connect Amanda Ghost with Vnick and I. I was just like, so basically what we need to do is we need to create a path where we expose Amanda Ghost. Amanda Ghost is like the new Heidi Fleiss. Like, she. She masquerades as a. The reason why she sucks so bad at music and is because she's actually getting hookers for Vlotnik.
Postal Worker Caller
Right?
Charlamagne's Associate
And that's what she does. She's a. She's a. She's an absolute madam, and that's why she's so lethal.
Postal Worker Caller
Blah, blah, blah.
Charlamagne's Associate
But that's. He's right. Like, we can't just do, like, oh, she's a. She sucks. It's like, it's got to be really, really heavy and connected to something that heavy. So we'll talk about that tomorrow, too.
Charlamagne tha God
They were trying to smear her as a sex trafficker. Now, if you need more context to that leaked call, here's Kevin Clancy of barstool explaining for those of us who graduated in night school because we got left back once or twice.
Kevin Clancy
All right, we got big drama coming out of Hollywood as Rebel Wilson's PR team allegedly attempted to execute a smear campaign saying that a Hollywood producer was a sex trafficker, despite the fact that they had no evidence. This is a big deal because that PR firm, the agency group, also represented Drake, Johnny Depp Edition, and Justin Baldoni. So that is now four celebrities involved in very high profile public disputes where the opposite side is getting smeared versus Kendrick, Johnny Depp versus Amber Heard, and Justin Baldoni versus Blake Lively. Those are three examples where Internet slander was a huge piece of their PR campaign. And now it makes me wonder if this PR firm is just making this up.
Charlamagne tha God
Yes, I think they are, but I just want to give you all an update, okay? Rebel Wilson released a statement on Instagram, and she said she had planned to stay quiet and wait to take the stand, but said an absolute bombardment from heavily paid crisis PR firms made it impossible to say nothing. Well, Rebel must be taking a page out of Melissa Nathan and Jed Wallace's playbook, because they have said absolutely nothing. Not one word. They haven't said anything. A crisis PR firm like Agency Group, Melissa Nathan and Jed Wallace haven't said anything, and they are being accused of attempting to smear a movie producer as a sex trafficker, and they haven't said a word. You can allegedly create narratives to destroy other people's, you know, reputations, but can't think of anything to save your own?
Shopify Advertiser
Hmm.
Charlamagne tha God
I want to double down this morning. Please let Remy Ma give them the biggest Hee Haw again this week.
Lauren LaRosa
You stupid mother.
Charlamagne tha God
Are you dumb? Now it's time to let the people give folks the biggest Hee Haw. Good morning. Who's this?
Mia from Philly
Good morning. This is Mia. I'm calling in from Philly.
Charlamagne tha God
Hey, Mia from Philly. Hey, girl, who you want to get the biggest Hee Haw to?
Mia from Philly
Mayor Sherrod Parker.
Charlamagne tha God
Oh, Mayor Sherrod. Why are you giving the mayor of Philly donkey? What she do?
Mia from Philly
Let's start with. She put speed bumps on every street in Philly. It's tearing people cars up.
Charlamagne tha God
Speed bumps.
Mia from Philly
Speed bumps on every street in Philly. It's tearing people cars up. People are getting flat tires dully.
Charlamagne tha God
But that means you must be speeding.
Mia from Philly
No, I'm not feeding. Let me finish on this. Okay, the second part is, you can't go over 25 miles per hour on Broad Street. People are getting $100 tickets every day.
Charlamagne tha God
I'm gonna be honest with you. I don't know what's going on in Philly, but it sounds to me like y' all be speeding up and down the streets and so the mess. The man slowed y' all down.
Mia from Philly
No. And she's raising up. She canceling the Uber rides for people.
Charlamagne tha God
She canceling the Uber rides.
Mia from Philly
Keep passing on taxing.
Charlamagne tha God
Oh, taxing them. Oh, okay, Okay. I don't know. Okay. I don't know about that.
Mia from Philly
Additional tax on Uber and Lyft ride.
Charlamagne tha God
I don't know about that. But I do need to tell you
Mia from Philly
speed and there's a soda cat. They already. They already texting us for the soda tax for the schools. Now she's saying the Uber and Lyft tax is for the schools. Well, what are y' all doing with this soda tax money?
Charlamagne tha God
The soda tax is good because, you know, there was a. There was a time where Philly was the fattest city in America. That's not. I don't think that's the case no more. But there was a time for her
Mia from Philly
tax money is for the schools. Where is that money? Where's that money at? Why are we paying an additional tax for Uber and lift now?
Charlamagne tha God
Damn.
Mimi Brown
I did not know the mayor's control that.
Charlamagne tha God
I didn't know the mayor controlled Uber and Lif either.
Mia from Philly
Well, she's adding. She's taxing. Adding an additional tax on that.
Charlamagne tha God
I wonder if the additional tax is coming because of the high gas prices. I. I don't know if that.
Kevin Clancy
I don't.
Charlamagne tha God
I mean, I don't know if it's cuz of the mayor or not. I don't know.
Mia from Philly
This was. This was implemented maybe about two or three weeks ago.
Charlamagne tha God
Oh, okay. Okay. Well, can we go back to the speed bump thing? I just want you to know that speed bumps only cause flat tires when you drive over the speed bumps at high. At high rates of speed.
Mia from Philly
No, this is the thing with the speed bump. They're rubber speed bumps, so when they lift up from other people, from other people driving over them stairs, there's big nails and studs. So when somebody like me drive over the speed bump, I'm gonna get a flat tire.
Charlamagne tha God
Oh, okay.
Mia from Philly
I did not see.
Mimi Brown
I did see somebody complaining about this on Tick Tock. Yeah, Y don't like that. Yeah, on.
Mia from Philly
It's tearing people, cars up, everything already high. Now we got about new tires.
Charlamagne tha God
Damn.
Mimi Brown
I'm sorry, baby girl.
Charlamagne tha God
Yeah, I know this is affecting you because you sound like you about to rap. You sound like you about to say, we still have to tell the sun come up when the sun go down. It's a cold winter.
Mimi Brown
That's right. Damn, you sound like meek right now.
Charlamagne tha God
Well, salute to everybody in Philadelphia, man. Cheryl Parker, your constituents are upset with you this morning. Okay. Good morning. Who's this? Yeah, hey, Tia from Detroit. What up, though?
Postal Worker Caller
What up?
Charlamagne tha God
Who you want to get the biggest he haw to?
Postal Worker Caller
I want to give it to Envy.
Charlamagne tha God
Okay?
Postal Worker Caller
And I'm gonna tell you why. Like, a while back, the post office was claiming back then that they were running out of money, just like they're doing right now. And he made a lot of comments about how he doesn't use the mail and how, you know, basically nobody really uses it anymore. And I just wanted your viewers to know. Understand that the post office is the only entity that goes to every single.
Charlamagne tha God
Every single one. Every single what?
Postal Worker Caller
Every single house.
Charlamagne tha God
Okay. Got you, got you, got you.
Postal Worker Caller
So what that means is when you order from ups, Amazon, dhl, whoever else, a lot of times they drop the packages off to us. Could take it the final mile.
Charlamagne tha God
Got you.
Postal Worker Caller
And because we're not a business and we are a service, and we're not supposed to turn a profit, we don't charge that much. So with that being said, if we are gone, that could raise the cost of delivery 140%.
Charlamagne tha God
Wow.
Postal Worker Caller
Now, not only that, I can't even tell you how many times I've been doing this for 10 years that I had to do wellness checks on people. Because the elderly live alone, and because we're at that house every single day, you notice when someone is not doing the same thing they normally do, like, they're not coming outside or whatever. I got customers that actually saved people's lives. I've even helped an elderly man who tripped and fell and hit his head when he was walking his dog. I think we're valuable.
Charlamagne tha God
I agree in a lot of ways
Postal Worker Caller
that people don't know that we are, you know, but we love our customers. I would like to think that a lot of our customers love us. And I just want people to understand that it's not just me.
Charlamagne tha God
You're 100% right. Listen, I appreciate public. I appreciate postal service workers, man. Y' all are public servants, if you ask me. So we appreciate your service. You done pissed off all the postal workers. Envy.
AT&T Advertiser
No, what I said was.
AT&T Advertiser Support
I said a lot of people don't use the post office, and that's true, because that's why they're having a hard time with some of the money that they're bringing.
Charlamagne tha God
She was saying that's not true because she said that they're always. She said they're the only entity that goes to everybody's individual house. So she said sometimes those people, like, I guess I don't know if she said FedEx or whoever, they'll give them the package just to drop off and go to.
AT&T Advertiser
Mimi said the other day.
AT&T Advertiser Support
Mimi just reported this a day ago, and she said the post office is not bringing in the revenue that it was before because a lot of people are not using the post Office. They're using UPS, they're using FedEx. They're using all these other places. And when she said that, I said, well, then we should raise the price of, you know, sending things through the post office. The one thing about the post office,
AT&T Advertiser
there's so many different post office branches
AT&T Advertiser Support
closer than FedEx and UPS. I. I respect it. I love all the post offices.
Charlamagne tha God
Post office people say they gonna bite you when they see you. Same way dogs be biting them. They say when they see your little beige ass, you getting bit, they save lives.
Mimi Brown
She saved the old man, huh? That's what the lady said. She saved the old man.
AT&T Advertiser Support
Salute to all the post office works out there.
Charlamagne tha God
We love you, man.
AT&T Advertiser Support
And not only that, the post office is a place where, when you got. When you need to get your passport stuff, they do all of the pictures and handle all that.
Mimi Brown
And if you need a P show, you can go in. I don't want nobody know your address. You a whole bunch of junk mail.
AT&T Advertiser Support
But I love all the post office workers. Salute to you guys.
AT&T Advertiser
Definitely appreciate it.
AT&T Advertiser Support
I never switch up.
Charlamagne tha God
You claim the side and actually you chose the side.
AT&T Advertiser Support
That's how I started the mixtape game back in the day. I was sending everything cod through the
AT&T Advertiser
post office before nobody asked side switching, boy.
AT&T Advertiser Support
Nah, I mess with the post office. I. I just don't use it as much. But yeah, I mess with them.
AT&T Advertiser
All right, now it's Friday, so you
Charlamagne tha God
know what that means. It's freaky, freaky, freaky Friday. Have you ever had sex with your first cousin? First of all, give it. Stop doing that, man. Yes, man. Stop making people think we stupid people
Mimi Brown
riding in the car with their kids.
Charlamagne tha God
Yes. Don't do that. You're a grown man. You 48 years old. That is the question. I'm just saying the question came from somewhere. We just ain't pull that out our ass. Mimi Brown, who does front page news, reported this story earlier and she had this to say. Oh, God, pull it out your ass, cuz.
Mimi Brown
They ain't got it in the state of Florida. They trying to pass a bill where they make it illegal to marry.
Charlamagne tha God
And I do not want to hear
News Reporter
just explain that was right headline out of Florida that's getting a lot of attention this morning. So a bill in Florida that would have banned people from marrying their first cousin has failed. Lawmakers voted it down in the state senate meaning for now that kind of marriage is still legal in Florida. The bill would have blocked people from marrying marrying anyone closely related on their grandparents or through their grandparents. So basically your first cousin supporters say there are plenty of other options out there. You don't to date in the family and this may not be over. Florida lawmakers say the issue could come back for for another vote.
Charlamagne tha God
So the Florida bill to ban marrying first cousins failed to pass in the Florida Senate.
AT&T Advertiser Support
So we're asking 800-585-1051 to this this sounds crazy to us.
Charlamagne tha God
I've never heard of this. Yes. Does this upset you that this bill to marry your first cousin failed to pass?
AT&T Advertiser Support
But we're asking have you married your first cousin? Had you had relations with your first cousin first?
Charlamagne tha God
Now let's discuss first.
Mimi Brown
I don't know how many people that y' all gonna get the color pair
AT&T Advertiser

In this lively episode entitled "The People’s Donkey," the Breakfast Club opens up the phone lines for callers to submit their own nominations for Donkey of the Day—a satirical "award" for foolish behavior. Charlamagne tha God first updates listeners on recent drama involving Rebel Wilson’s PR team and then invites listeners to air their grievances, resulting in spirited discussions about local politics, public services, and one particularly eyebrow-raising topic from Florida. The signature humor and candid interactions keep the energy high while delving into topics both serious and absurd.

“Does this upset you that this bill to marry your first cousin failed to pass?” – Co-host [14:48]
“The People’s Donkey” captures The Breakfast Club’s signature blend of real talk, community input, humor, and cultural critique. From Hollywood scandals to city politics and everyday heroes in the post office, listeners are given a voice—and plenty to laugh and think about.
