If we live a life where we bite our tongue based off who we may have been, we never would say anything. You don't give a damn, don't throw it up.

Hey! Charlamagne, give it to him! Give it to him! On The Breakfast Club. In the words of Charlamagne the God, he's a donkey. He's a mother****** whore. Oh man Charlamagne, you giving donkey the day to who now?

Well Buster Rhymes, Donkey of the Day for Tuesday January 21st goes to a 44 year old woman named Jennifer Neal and 31 year old Dustin Neal. They are both from Oregon and according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, they were arrested for reportedly impersonating firefighters and using an illegitimate fire truck in the Palisades fire evacuation zone. I can't make this kind of stuff up. Let's go to King Five Seattle for the report, please. About 29 people have been arrested in Los Angeles so far

in connection to criminal activity related to the ongoing fires. That includes two people from Oregon who tried to drive into an evacuation zone while impersonating firefighters. Deputies said Dustin Nell and Jennifer Nell claimed to represent Oregon's Roaring River Fire Department, which doesn't even exist. Deputies detain the individuals and question them. They have learned that this individual have purchased the vehicle through an auction and they have been in the area for about a couple of days.

The two even had firefighter gear, helmets and radios. Dustin L. had prior convictions in Oregon for criminal mischief and arson. I was born in 1978 and I remember dumbass slogans like faking until you make it. The reason I believe that's a dumbass slogan is simply because I don't believe in faking it ever. Okay ladies this is why your man still doesn't know what he's doing in the bedroom because you keep faking it but at least there was an end goal. The end goal was to make it. Okay, we live in a generation now where you have a bunch of people just happy to be faking it.

And my 46 year old brain will never understand that. Okay, the whole you turn out to be what you pretend to be, not if you don't actually work to be whatever it is you're pretending to be, okay? This era just likes pretending, right? This era just likes faking. And I don't understand why because you all work very very very hard to pretend. You all bust your ass to fake things.

Dustin and Jennifer didn't just lie and say they were firefighters. They went and got all the gear and a whole fire truck. I didn't know they just had those things lying around. All right, they claim they work for the Roaring River Fire Department in Oregon, but no such agency exists. This is why a bunch of y'all sitting in prison right now for fraudulent PPP loans, okay? Because you created companies like Roaring River Fire LLC

and no such company existed. But people, the time, the energy, the effort you all put into pretending, you can actually put into real work. Okay, this is why I don't understand. This is what I don't understand. We have brains and in these brains, we form ideas and then we work towards those ideas.

We spend countless hours working towards those ideas. Why is your brain wired to put all this effort into pretending, but not actually doing real work. I'll tell you why because social media has it to where all you have to do is look the part. That's it folks get off on looking like they're doing something as opposed to actually doing something and y'all pretending to do amazing things. Jennifer and Dustin pretended to be firefighters in the Palisades in LA? They showed up in a fake fire truck

talking about we're here to save lives. If you're gonna impersonate a public servant, aim a little lower next time, okay? Don't start as a firefighter showing up to a catastrophe like the LA fires. Be a fake mall cop or something, okay? It's not like being a rapper where you don't even have to

have talent anymore. You can just throw on some fake jewelry, whatever the latest rapper wardrobe is, put little in front of your name and voila. That's easy to impersonate. But firefighters? Firefighters have a certain set of skills. They have to run in the burning buildings. Jennifer and Dustin wouldn't be able to save you from a flaming hibachi grill. There's too many humans, man. Too many humans in the way. Too many humans in the way out here. Y'all out here trying to be heroes in a fake fire truck while the real heroes are busy risking their lives, trying to save lives.

And what would happen if you all actually gotten into some action? Huh? You think you're gonna out-firefight the real firefighters? The real firefighters gonna see something burning and know what to do with it. You all gonna see something burning and say, nah do with it. You all gonna see something burning and say, nah, I'm just playing.

Pretending to be a firefighter during a tragedy like the LA wildfires, that's like pretending to be a dentist with no teeth. Okay, Jennifer Dennis, you all have no tools, no training and no damn common sense. But what you do have is charges for impersonating a firefighter and entering an evacuation zone, okay? The truck which was purchased at an auction was also impounded.

Sidebar, what's the point of selling a fire truck to regular civilians? Okay, that should be illegal. What else am I going to do with a fire truck after I buy it? Anyway, please give Jister and Dustin Neal, Jennifer and Dustin Neal, the sweet sounds of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yeehaw. What was you gonna do once you got there though?

Like once you get in there with the fake fire truck and the fake fire gear, then what? Did they have the mask too for the smoke inhalation? I don't think it matters. Did they have water in their holes? What was the point? What do you do once you get there? I don't know.

Take pictures for the grand? But it's funny that you said that cause I seen a special on TV this weekend about people buying these fire trucks and it's a lucrative business they actually rent them out for like kids having birthday parties parades and all types of kids activities where they rent out these fake fire trucks that really don't work and they have the lights and everything like that and the ladders and all that so that makes sense because I'm sitting there thinking why would you even sell that in

an auction? But none of them people went to the fires in LA though. No. The fires in LA. I don't know what he was going through. You didn't even start small. You even went for the gusto. Like you didn't even try to get a cat out of a tree. You know what I'm saying?

So it went right. Lord have mercy. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Mm-hmm. Donkey of the Day is sponsored by renowned personal injury attorney Michael the Bull Lamonsoff. Don't be a donkey when you need a fighter on your side If you're ever injured go to Michael the bull calm that's Michael the bull calm and when you mess with the bull you get the horns
