Hey, y'all. Niminy here. I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records. Executive produced by Questlove, The Story Pirates, and John Glickman, Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop.

Flash, slam, another one gone. Bash, bam, another one gone. The crack of the bat and another one gone. The tip of the cap, there's another one gone. Each episode is about a different, inspiring figure from history. Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it.

And it began with me. Did you know, did you know? I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was called a woman. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records. Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise. Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, everyone. Apple Podcasts, or wherever you

listen to podcasts. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. You are a donkey. It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkey of the Day, huh? I'm going to fatten all that shit around your eyes. They want this man to throw them blows, man. They wait for Charlamagne to tap these gloves. Let's go. They had to make a judgment of who was going to be on the Donkey of the Day.

They chose you. There's a breakfast club, bitches. Who's Donkey of the Day today? Well, Ed Sheeran, donkey of the day for Monday, July 17th goes to Gary Hillman. I feel like I just be telling y'all the same things over and over and over and over again. But Gary Hillman is 48 years old and he was arrested for being more than three times over the drunk driving limit. Let me tell you something. I don't know why we are still getting on this radio and telling people not to drink and drive with all these ride share companies

that exist today there's absolutely no reason but here's the thing it's one thing to get behind the wheel it's another to get behind the wheel and still not knowing to quit see gary hillman was determined to either kill somebody or kill himself when he was driving drunk. What do you mean, Uncle Charlotte? Well, Gary was pissy drunk and on Friday around 2.50 p.m., clearly day drinking. OK, clearly just left for brunch or something. He collided with a security fence after going too fast around a corner. He failed to stop and report the accident and he carried on driving.

Now, he said he was just drinking vodka. I don't understand people who get this drunk because you would think a crash into a fence would sober you up. You would think a crash into a fence would make you realize, man, I've had one too many. But no, Gary kept driving. And then as he was approaching a roundabout, he crashed into a central reservation, which caused his airbags to be deployed. Now, at this point, I definitely don't think driving would be possible, but Gary kept going.

He turned around on the highway and stuck his head out of the driver's window in order to see over the airbags. He was said to be driving slowly, but he veered onto the wrong side of the road on which he was traveling for three quarters of a mile. At one point, Gary drove head-on directly towards an ambulance, which had his blue lights and sirens on.

Imagine that this ambulance on the way to help somebody in need. Maybe even had somebody in there already. And Gary could have hit them head on and killed everyone in the ambulance. OK, one of the officers said it's nothing short of a miracle that there wasn't an extremely serious incident leading to serious injury or death. Now, when police finally caught up with Gary, stupid ass, his blood test was taken, which revealed he had 249 MGs of alcohol and 100 MGs of blood. I have no idea what that means. I just know the legal limit is 80 and he was three times over the limit. Now, Gary did say he was remorseful and his lawyer said he had hit rock bottom in the time of the offense and he recognizes there was a problem and he has been in contact with alcoholics anonymous to help rebuild his life good for you gary that's what we want to happen but that doesn't mean you will not be held responsible for the consequences of your actions this man has clearly

watched one too many fast and furious movies all right this man thought he was dominique terretto how many times has been diesel's car exploded and he kept driving it all right i don't know how many other ways to tell y'all not to drink and drive i thought this was something that collectively we all decided was a terrible idea years ago if you want to drink stay your ass home okay if you want to drink do it at a friend's house where you don't gotta leave if you want to drink factor your uber or lyft into what you plan to spend that night on drinks because there is no reason to be drinking and driving no reason at all there's not one single solitary reason on this third rock from the sun for you to be drinking and driving do i have to tell you that each drink you you know drive impairs your ability to drink? Wait, what the hell did I just say?

Each drink you have impairs your ability to drive. Okay? There you go. That's right. If you are drunk, don't drive. All right? Don't even putt. That was a golf reference.

Maybe if we make it rhyme, people will listen. Let me try. Allow life to thrive. Don't drink and drive. Look, man. The moral of the story is drinking and driving. There are stupider things to do, but it's a very short list. Please give Gary Hillman the biggest hee-haw.

I don't even know any other ways to tell people not to drink and drive no more. I mean, we say it all the time. It's unbelievable at this point. It's like, how many, you know how much money was spent on don't drink and drive no more i mean we say it all the time it's unbelievable at this point it's like how many you know how much money was spent on don't drink and drive campaigns yeah like come on there's nothing i can say nothing that i can say that somebody shouldn't know already about drinking and driving and like you said if you're gonna go out and drink and drive maybe just put the uber or whatever that's right. Taxi cab or.

Yes. However you need to get home. Put that in your budget for the night. Come on, man. And just think about it. Each drink you drive impairs your ability to drink. Your lift. Whatever you need to.

I mean, each drink. You know what I'm trying to say here. You drunk now? What am I trying to say? I don't know what you're trying to say. Each drink you have impairs your ability to drive. There you go. There you go.

All right. Well, that is your donkey of the day. Shout out to BET. We'll see you tomorrow. Everybody else, let's open up the phone line. 800-585-1051. We were talking about Sexy Red. Now, there was a clip of Sexy Red.
