who you giving Dusty of the Day to now? Well, Sexy Red, Donkey of the Day for Wednesday, August 21st goes to a 28-year-old woman named Shanisha Cobbs. Shanisha hails from Portage, Indiana. Never heard of the place, but dropping the clues bombs for Portage, Indiana. Never heard of the place, but drop on the clues bombs for Portage, Indiana. And like most

Americans, she's always looking for a way to save a dollar or two, always looking for a discount. And I don't blame her because times is hard out here. Okay, if you are blessed to have some food on the table and a roof over your head, you are winning. Don't let nobody tell you different. Drop on the clues bombs for everybody who got food on

their table and a roof over their head. That is a blessing. I know things get hard sometimes, and we all just trying to figure it out, doing our best. But trust me when I tell you that success is subjective, and if you got food on the table and a roof over your head, and you are happy, then you are winning. Simple as that.

Well, Shanisha Cobbs was trying to win. Okay, she was trying to be happy. See, Shanisha Cobbs was trying to do what all, she was trying to be happy. See, Shanisha Cobbs was trying to do what all Americans are out here doing, and that's feeding their families. Okay, Shanisha was sitting at home minding her business, and she got a download. By download, I mean she was probably watching TV One and saw a commercial for one of the world's largest casual dining brands,

Applebee's. Drop one of the clues bombs for Applebee's. Never, ever will I front on Applebee's, okay? On the come up of this thing called life, I have had some amazing times in Applebee's. Never, ever will I front on Applebee's, okay? On the come up of this thing called life, I have had some amazing times in Applebee's. Salute to Applebee's on Rivers Avenue in North Charleston, South Carolina, right across from Northwoods Mall. Salute to Applebee's in Moncks Corner, South Carolina,

right over there on Rembussy Dennis Boulevard. Those mozzarella sticks, those boneless buffalo wings, that chicken quesadilla with some fries. What you talking about? Okay? I got nothing but love for Applebee's, and so does Shanisa. She went there with two other adults and several juveniles. Okay, a bunch of hungry-ass little kids, and she tried to game the system. She tried to take advantage of Applebee's.

All you can eat. Okay? All you can eat, $15.99 special. You heard about it? Huh? Now, I thought it was $14.99, but it must have went up a little, but price and participation always do vary. But yes, since earlier this year, for a limited time,

guests can enjoy an unlimited feast of all you can eat boneless wings, riblets, and double crunch shrimp for $14.99 when you dine in the restaurant, okay? Dine in only, no orders to go. Well, Sharnisha came in to dine with her clan. Remember what I said.

Two other adults and several juveniles. And she ordered one all-you-can-eat special. Okay, one order of all-you-can-eat boneless wings, all-you-can-eat riblets, all-you-can-eat double crunch scrimp, all-you-can-eat fries, and endless amounts of water, I'm sure. Now? Nothing else? What you mean nothing else?

That's why you don't know how to bust down, go. There's seven of them, though. You know how to bust down, go. Go ahead. That's why we're here today, ladies'm sure. Now? Nothing else? What you mean nothing else? That's why you don't know how to bust down, go. Seven of them know. You know how to bust down, go. That's why we're here today, ladies and gentlemen. Because of the bust down. Okay? Life was all good until the bill came. When the bill came, an Applebee's manager informed the group that each person would have to pay for one serving of

the deal. You know Shanice and company wasn't going for that because they had several juveniles. Several usually means seven. And then it was two adults including Shanice. So that bill at $15.99 a pop was at minimum $159 and some change. Now I know some of y'all out there just rich

and got money to blow, but $159 in a restaurant is a luxury. A privilege that so many of us take for granted. If it's not, then how come Shanice was in there trying to bust down the system, okay? She was trying to game the system. Police were eventually called to the scene. And dispatchers were warned ahead of time to expect multiple females screaming and threatening people.

See, Shanice didn't feel like she should have to pay no more than $16. Because it was an all-you-can-eat special. And they argued that the menu did not specify that the deal didn't cover the table. Well, that defense did not work, okay, because the two words, and those two words are per person, all right? I mean, directly beneath the all-you-can-eat heading was the words per person in bold letters. Nothing left to see here, folks.

Now, Shanisa clearly embarrassed. She was clearly embarrassed, so she stopped arguing with the police for a second just to argue with another couple who was probably staring at her, you know, chastising, probably laughing, recording. Told her, sit her poor ass down somewhere, okay? So Shanisa started arguing with the couple. Police tried to calm her down, and when she wouldn't, they locked her ass up. Arrested her for disorderly conduct,

all because she was trying to do what all Americans want to do, and that's eat and eat good. Let me tell you something, man. If I was governor of Indiana, I would pardon Shanisa. There should definitely be consequences to her actions, but jail time is a bit excessive. See, here's the thing. I told y'all earlier, going out to eat is a luxury

a lot of people can't afford nowadays, but going out is also something that brings people joy. Imagine having a bunch of kids who are hungry and they all saying they want to go to Applebee's and all you want to do as a parent is make that happen for them. So it's a combination of hunger and making your kids happy. Think about how happy you were as a child when your parents had some extra money to take you somewhere.

Those rare times when they told you they don't got it at the house. Right. Okay. Mom, I want McDonald's. don't got it at the house. Right. Okay? Mom, I want McDonald's. We got McDonald's at the house. One of the greatest lies ever told. Okay? Right up there with white Jesus and Santa Claus was there's McDonald's at the house.

Never in the history of life has someone had the golden arches at the house. Okay? So to be able to take your kids out, order a meal from a restaurant, that's a blessing. And Shanisa wanted to provide that experience for her kids, so I would have gave her community service or something, make her work at Applebee's and then let her take the free food home to the kids. On another note, this is

the reason that at the DNC, the VP Kamala Harris has to talk about the issues during her speech. The Obamas were last night, they preached their message of hope. I get it, but hope is the bare minimum. I understand why it's important to have hope. Hope is like when you first see the all-you-can-eat commercial for Applebee's, okay?

Shanisha had hope, all right? Once she saw that commercial, hope, okay? That was like a glimpse of light in the darkness. She saw an opportunity to bring joy to people she loved, and hope is great, okay? You know, hope is great. They've been trying to get us, they tried to feed us hope and fear.

They've been trying to get us to vote out of fear in regards to Trump. I mean, they're always trying to get us to vote out of fear. But not being able to feed your kids, not being able to make your kids happy is scarier than Trump. But now that we have given people the fear, we've given them hope. It's time for Vice President Harris to bring it home by talking about actual issues. The number one issue is the economy. The message she's pushing about rebuilding the middle class. It starts with all you can eatcan-eat mozzarella sticks. Okay? I'm serious. After you pay your bills, after you pay your rent, your child care,

after you pay for your life, do you have anything left over for a little bit of joy? Mm-hmm. That's what these politicians don't understand. Folks need a couple dollars for joy. That is part of rebuilding the middle class. What type of world do we live in when a person can't enjoy the double crunched scrimp at Applebee's just because they want to? So even though what Shantneesha did is stupid, I understand the circumstances that got her

there, but some donkey of the days just sell themselves. Please give Shantneesha Cobbs the sweet sounds and the hammer tones. You are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. You feel some gristle? The room got heavy. Wobble, wobble. The room got heavy.

A little gristle on the bone. Turn it up a little bit. Big Mac. Whatobble, wobble. The room got heavy. A little gristle on the bone. Turn it up a little bit. Here. Big Mac. What's up, Mac? The president of the Fat Lives Matter committee. Yeah, of course. I just wanted to add to, first off, you spoke that eloquently.

Okay. But I just wanted to add, people, we should probably watch the wording. If it's all you can eat, then it should be that. Not all you can eat, then it should be that. Not all you can eat here. You have to say that. Because there's plenty of times where I try to all I can eat, and they judge me for the amount. Because I hear that, and it's a personal challenge to me.

But you have to be specific and say all you can eat here at Applebee's, at Olive Garden. Because if you don't, I'm going to think all I can eat anywhere. Don't you think she was wrong, though, to try to buy one all-you-can-eat order for nine, ten people? No. No, I do not. You know dang well you ain't buying just one. First of all, I count as two people.

So technically, I'm allowed to— Four? Three and a half. Three and a possible. Three and a possible is Three and a possible. Three and a possible is crazy. The Spades game is crazy. So technically, you can't judge me for what I do with my food because

I've technically counted as three and a half. Oh yeah, a buffet hate to see you coming. All you can eat special. Hate to see Big Mac coming. You'll shut down a restaurant. Stone Cold Steve Austin, you hear that glass breaking. Yeah, when they say for a limited time only, that's what they mean. Tell people like Max to start walking in. They give him a timer.

Like how they put the chalk on your tire when you park. When you walk in, they mark him. Man, too many 300 plus pounders coming in. That's when the limited time stops. Y'all don't want to play a game? No, I don't want to play a game. Okay, why do you want to play a game? I'm just curious. No, you're not curious. Alright, you know exactly you know exactly

what race this person is. I'm not even mad at sis, though, because the older I get, the more I understand. Oh, sis? You say she black? How you know she black? I don't care what color she is. I understand. The older I get, the more I feel you got food at home.

It's expensive. It is expensive. It's multiple people with her. She probably got kids with her. They want to eat everything. They want to. No. But it's the joy of going out.

That's what I mean when I say like you know People just want to need A little bit of extra money For joy For real You just want to be able To go out to a restaurant And enjoy a little quick $100, $200 meal

With your family Envy you still stuck on What race she is No No But I mean she tried To get over on the system I mean she knew

What she was doing They owe us Obviously Out of I think she one of us and they owe us. Out of need. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day.
