Don't be out here acting like a donkey. Hee-haw, bitch! Hee-haw! It's time for Donkey of the Day. I'm a big boy, I can take it. If he feel I deserve it, ain't no big deal. I know Charlamagne Tha God gonna have some funny shit to say out his mouth. If he's gonna say something you may not agree with, doesn't mean I mean it. Who's getting that donkey? That donkey. That donkey. Donkey. Donkey. Donkey. Donkey of the Day, right here.

It's at the Breakfast Club, bitches! You can call me the Donkey of the Day right here the breakfast club bitches you can call me the donkey of the day but like oh my god man donkey of the day for monday october 16th goes to a man that i highly respect i mean it actually pains me to have to do this donkey of the day because i truly respect this brother loved him since he played at the university of michigan if he was born in the 1970s like i was and you remember when he uh ran back a 93yard punt return for a touchdown against Ohio State. And then he struck the now legendary Heisman pose. Yes, I'm talking about the great Desmond Howard.

Drop on the clues bombs for Desmond Howard. I really love that brother, man. I love his wife, Rebecca. We worked together on the Finding Tamika project. That is the project about Rebecca's niece, Tamika Houston, who went missing in the early 2000s in Spartanburg, South Carolina. I'm telling you all this to let you know how much I respect Desmond Howard. I love and respect Desmond Howard more than anyone on college game day clearly does.

Because you know Desmond works for ESPN, college game day. I'm sure you see him every Saturday. And this weekend, they were in Seattle for the Oregon versus Washington game, which featured two of the best quarterbacks in the country, Bo Nix and Michael Penix Jr. Now, Michael Penix Jr. plays for the Washington Huskies. And since the Huskies were the home team, Michael Penix Jr. got a special song written for him in his honor, performed by Desmond Howard. Can we hear this song, please?

Every time he takes the field, he's going to bring that big Penix energy. He's going to bring that big penis energy. He's going to bring that big penis energy. He's going to bring that big penis energy. That's right, Harry. Let's go, baby. I've been pronouncing his name wrong. No, I think you got it right. That's the game.

Love that, baby. Nah, that ain't it, y'all. Okay, now I watch College Game Day. I don't know when they started making Desmond Howard break out in the song. Okay, but for this occasion, College Game Day decided to have Desmond Howard do a custom song made, okay, just for Michael Penix Jr. Can I hear just the chant one more time, please, please? Big Penix energy! I don't know who wrote that for Desmond Howard.

But Desmond needs to go on strike against those writers. Okay, Desmond, I will organize a strike for you. You got to walk out just to prove a point. Who's on the college game day team, bro? Somebody has to have the wherewithal to simply say no. That's not a good idea. You have to know how that is going to come across when you start chanting big penis energy on national tv i don't follow the washington

husky so i had no idea who michael phoenix jr was so i'm sitting there wondering why is desmond howard on tv chanting about someone's big penis energy all right first of all kids are watching second of all there's two things that may have happened here. You either have older people in the writers room who are trying to sound cool and relate to the youngins that go to the college who are out there surrounding the college game. They broadcast booth or you either have younger people in the writers room telling Desmond, this is how you relate to the younger audience. And I'm here to tell you that in either one of those scenarios, you're both wrong. Desmond Howard is desmond howard desmond don't need any gimmicks all right desmond don't need any songs he's a super bowl champion heisman trophy winner he holds the nfl single season record for punt return yardage he

was named the mvp of the damn super bowl okay all you got to do is give him a microphone and let him do what he does best and that's talk football if y'all was gonna jump out the window and have him chant big phoenix energy big phoenix energy you might as well have showed love to other members of the team like that is dixon okay he gonna bring that big dixon energy nah right the washington huskies also got someone on their team named dylan. We're going to bring that Big Johnson energy. That don't sound right either, huh? Well, neither does Big Phoenix energy. Big Phoenix energy.

I don't even think I could say suck my Phoenix on the radio. No. I couldn't? No. You sure? I don't think I could say get off my Phoenix. Could I say you have Phoenix envy? Hmm?

What? Could I say tick have Phoenix envy? Hmm? What? Could I say tickle my Phoenix? People at radio stations all over the country are confused right now. They don't know whether to dump me or not because what matters more? The word or the context? In this case, I probably would say both. When the word is that close to the forbidden word and you're using it in this context, nothing good can happen. What do coaches say to him?

Imagine a coach saying, Phoenix, you came hard. Phoenix, I love seeing you come in the locker room. It excites me. Phoenix, the way you found that hole in the zone coverage. Hey, yo. Hey, yo. Listen, man, once again, I don't know yo. Listen, man. Once again, I don't know what's worse, okay?

The word or the context. All I know is, in this case, you're guaranteed to be donkey of the day if you use it the way Desmond Howard used it or the way they wrote it for him to be used. Desmond, please give Desmond Howard the sweet sounds of the Hamiltons. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw.

Yee-haw. Well, how did Phoenix play over the weekend? I don't know. I think Phoenix might have put up some numbers. How did he do? What did he do, Mac? Did Phoenix put up any numbers? I don't know.

Let me see. Let me look and see what Phoenix has for us. That's a good question. Big Phoenix energy! Hold on. Let me see if he actually did bring that big penis energy. Let's see. Said he's nice with the ball.

I heard. I don't know. What were the stats for Saturday? Who'd they play? Penis for long. I don't know what his numbers were on Saturday. I got to look that up. Somebody look that up for me. What's Penis number on his jersey?

What was Saturday the 14th? Oh, he had 32. No, 37 attempts, 22 completions, 302 yards. Oh, my God. Four touchdowns and an interception. Oh, yeah, he played great. Oh, he did good. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.

All right, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Ladies, how long did it take for you to get comfortable farting in front of your man? Man, there should never be a reason to be farting in front of no goddamn body. Period. First of all, I don't fart in my clothes. And I done told y'all that when a man farts In front of another man That is just a primal way Of flirting

I don't see any reason For you to be farting In front of nobody Farting is Like that's Some stuff you're supposed To keep to yourself Yeah sometimes you just can't though

Sometimes you got the bubble guts In a place In the car And you might You might not hit the But you might hit the Little silent sneaker That's not true

That is true That's not true We all got control of our balance You never hit the silent sneaker Sometimes you just gotta let it go Cause your stomach's bubbling I don't fart in my clothes That's a lie I ain't gotta tell of our bowels. You never hit the silent sneaker sometimes? You just got to let it go because your stomach's bubbling? I don't fart in my clothes. That's a lie.

I ain't got to tell you the truth. 800-585-1051. How long did it take you to get comfortable farting in front of your man? And ladies, are you comfortable farting or even using the bathroom in front of your man? Let's discuss. For what? 800-585-1051. What is the point of any of this?

Why do you got to do any of this in front of anybody? Even little kids, when they got to poop at a certain age, they go walk off. They go start walking off and hiding in certain places to handle their business. So why are you doing it in front of people? Let's discuss. If little kids got the wherewithal to do that, why are you doing it in front of people? It's natural. It's natural to poop in front of somebody?

No, it's natural to fart. It's natural to let your gases go. It's natural. That's disgusting. That's disgusting. That's the reason people don't do that all the time. You might burp. You might burp in front of somebody.

You ain't letting out no ass gas just in front of nobody. It's just a little ass gas. No, it's not. It's a little because sometimes you got the bubble guts. Somebody do that in this room. I'm going to HR. What are you going to say? I'm going to say that he farted on me.

He farted on you? Or she farted on me. 800-585-1051. Let's discuss. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
