Who do you give it dusty other day to now? Don't you hate when Instagram makes you question your choices? Which mean? Like, I reported them people, you know, the people that leave the spam that says, I wonder why people go to the bathroom when they look at my pictures. So I report it as nudity,

and Instagram will ask me, am I under 18? What's that got to do with it? I got nothing to do with it, God damn it? I reported it because I didn't want it. Anyway, donkey today for Monday, September 15th, goes to a 62-year-old California chef named Valentino Lucian.

now we are in the fourth quarter of 2025 you might as well say we are in the holiday season people okay once dunkin donuts puts the pumpkin spice items on the menu and spirit Halloween stores start popping up we in the holiday season and both of those things have happened already so the holiday season is here and a lot of people pick up extra work during the holiday season okay a lot of people have to work two and three jobs to pay for the holidays okay last holiday season 2004 there was a survey done by side hustles.com that found 78% of Americans are either already side hustling or planning to pick up a side gig to afford their holiday expenses. Of those responders, 59% already have an extra job and another 19% plan on starting one. Well, Chef Valentino

Luchin is one of those people who decided to pick up another gig for the holidays. Would you like to know what other gigs Chef Valentino Luchin picked up for the holidays? Well, let's go to trending news for the report, please. If your chef's hat looks suspiciously like a disguise, you might be a bank robber. If you're serving up soufflés

one day and subpoenas the next, you're definitely in trouble. This is the story of Valentino Lucian, a man who switched from fine dining to felony. On September 10th, 2025, San Francisco police raced to a bank on Grand Avenue. The suspect? Not your usual masked villain, but Valentino Lucian, a known for his pasta, not his pilfering. He handed the teller a threatening note, grabbed the cash, and vanished. But the city's finest and some sharp-eyed locals didn't let him get far. Thanks too, they tracked him down and arrested him. No drama, no car chase, just a chef caught off menu. Here's the real twist. Investigators linked Luchin to. Same method, same chef's touch. Now, instead of plating up risotto, Luchin's facing a full serving of charges at the county jail.

In San Francisco, crime doesn't pay, but it sure makes a wild story. 62 years old and decided he wanted to rob three banks in one day, proving you're never too old to make bad decisions. It pains me to have to say this, but you should never trade. You. You're your spatula for a ski mask. Okay, when you have a legitimate job, okay, a legitimate skill set that can make you money, you never, ever, ever under any circumstance, trade that for a life of crime.

See, some of y'all don't appreciate the positions God has put you in, and you always let the devil convince you that you need more and you need it now, instead of just being patient and letting the gifts God gave you make room for you when the time is right. How you go from preparing a risotto, they're preparing to do 25 to life, at 62 okay this isn't a young man all right this is how I know wisdom requires more than just

you know living a long life even fools grow old this man had a legitimate job a legitimate skill a job that depending on employment type could get him benefits and health insurance but he said you know what I'm really missing a federal indictment okay what bothers me the most about this is when you read more into the story in 2018 he was arrested on suspicion of armed robbery at a bank back then he was 54 and he said in a jailhouse interview that he robbed the bank back then because at the time he thought it was a good plan so from 54 to 62 chef valentino hasn't learned a damn thing about what's a good plan or not forget farm the table he went from kitchen to prison so now instead of worrying about a potential souffle collapse you got to worry about

a rectal prolapse please give valentino luchin the sweet sounds of the hamletones oh now you are The donkey of the day of the donkey of the day of the day. Yehaw. And if you're wondering what erect the prolapse is, it's a condition with a rectum, the last part of the large intestine protrudes through the anus. That's crazy. 62 robbing banks.

I, no. Thank you. Yeah. Because we weren't wondering. No. but yeah that's crazy three banks in one day crazy

62 you said you know what I'm missing a federal indictment three banks in one day man that's crazy that is wild all right and you got a job

you're shopping yeah that's crazy all right well thank you for that donkey today yes indeed now when we come back Jasmine Cracker will be joining us so we're gonna kick it with her next
