I'm Dan Roth, LinkedIn's editor in chief. On my podcast, This Is Working, leaders share strategies for success. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. they already did. I'm not making these people do these things. I called Donkey of the Day and it really caught me off guard. Damn Solomon, who got the donkey of the day today? Well, Jess Hilarious, Donkey Today for Tuesday, April 15th goes to a 34-year-old former police officer named Edgar Verdasco. He used to be a police officer for the Los Angeles Police Department and he is the human experience and this story is just another example of that Edgar on Friday Plead guilty to three counts of murder. Okay, this man killed a mother a father and a teenage son Would you like to know how it happened? Let's go to ABC 7 eyewitness news for the report, please

A former LAPD officer is heading to prison after pleading guilty to murder in a fiery DUI crash 34 year old Edgar Verduzco faces 15 years to life for killing three people on the 605 freeway in 2017. The off-duty police officer was driving 150 miles an hour while under the influence of alcohol when he hit two vehicles. One of them plowed into the center divider and burst into flames, killing Maribel and Mario Davila and their 19-year-old son Oscar, who was a student at UC Riverside. Verdusco was due back in court in July for sentencing.

Rest in peace to that family man. Dead because of somebody else's negligence. Edgar, you have to get the book thrown at you. Okay, put him under the prison. You're a police officer so you know the law. You knew drinking and driving, the speeding, the reckless driving, vehicular homicides. You know the law and you know what all that carries. Plus your job is to protect and serve. You did none of that.

So your penalty has to be harsh. OK, and I'm taking in this story and it makes me feel why did God give us free will? OK, I'm glad God gave it to us. But free will is like a baked potato. OK, it needs toppings to really elevate it. OK, you can eat a big potato plain. But when you put butter on it or sour cream or chives or salt or pepper, some people like cheese.

I'm lactose intolerant, so I don't do that. Some people like chili on it, green onions. I've seen broccoli on big potatoes. My point is free will and free will alone is not enough. Okay. In order to maximize free will, you need self-awareness. You need to pay attention to the present moment You need to manage your emotional state

You need to be of good character and you don't need to be on drugs and alcohol Because those things called you to make poor choices with that free will and what does your uncle shala? Always tell you on this damn radio destiny is not a matter of chance. It's a matter of choice This guy Edgar exercised his free will to make a poor choice and this is why I don't like humans. When Mel Robbins was here talking about people who leave the bathroom disgusting it hit me because that's one of my pet peeves. I hate when I walk in the bathroom and see somebody else's doo doo in the toilet. Even worse when you see that they left the toilet lining on

the seat it's like what type of rush are you in? Don't you know other people have to use this bathroom? I feel the same way about drunk driving. Okay, now you're talking to a person who almost killed himself drunk driving when I was a young lad. So I'm speaking from experience. I was selfish. I wasn't thinking about anybody but myself. I had zero regard for other people's lives in that moment.

And thank God my dumb ass, you know, when I wrecked, didn't kill myself or anyone else. For more on that story, go to Amazon and purchase my first book black privilege opportunity comes to those who create it available everywhere you buy books now I hate people okay this man Edgar posted a video on social media with the hashtag oh that's the part of the story I left out this man Edgar posted a video on social media with the hashtag don't drink and drive. And then shortly after gotten his car drunk and killed three people. I repeat this man Edgar posted a video on social media with the hashtag don't drink and drive and then shortly after, killed three people drunk driving.

This goes back to what I said about self-awareness, paying attention to the present moment. God, God literally told Edgar what to do and he did the opposite. We have all these conversations about signs, look for signs. God put it in his head and his heart so much that he shared with social media a message that he ignored.

Don't drink and drive. Edgar that was for you in that moment. It doesn't get much clearer than that gang but you can see it because you are a human being that is so disconnected from the interconnection to the human experience. I don't care if you drinking and driving or leaving a public bathroom filthy when you do those things you are simply not Thinking about other people but don't listen to me though. Okay, I just stopped being a sociopath about a decade ago Mel Robbins explains it way better than me When you go into a public bathroom two things I always leave the space better than when I found it. If somebody destroys a seat, pees all over it,

and then they leave, that is a human being that is so disconnected from the interconnection of the human experience. You are leaving that for another person, and so making sure that you don't leave your mess for another person, making sure that you just kind of wipe down the counter. And then here's the second thing.

If there is a human being cleaning that bathroom, please look in the AI and say thank you. All the time. All the time. Thank you. Like that right there is a simple thing that will make you start to shake out of that woe is me or that stress or that overwhelm. Let them know you appreciate matter because they make you feel human again. The moral of the story is get connected to the interconnection of the human experience. You are not on this earth for long. Please let Remy Ma give Edgar Verdesco the biggest hee haw.

Hee haw, hee haw. You stupid mother f***er, are you dumb? All right, well thank you for that donkey today. Yes ma'am. All right, now when we come back 800- I'm sorry. Just ignore it, just ignore it, just ignore it. Just ignore it. He's fantasizing right now. Ignore it. 800-585-1051. My book Real Life Real Family is out today. Gia was just joined the Breakfast Club about 45 minutes ago and we were talking about how we raise our kids

and this is how the conversation went. Would you say that you and and we have two different parenting styles? The more lenient it depends what it is. I'm disciplined. I was the yellow the screamer because I said so yeah Here's a lot different like it wants to know why yeah, why did you feel that she likes to break down yeah, I don't get it you gonna get it by the End of right. Yeah So you gotta think really think before you speak to her because she's like, all right, explain that. Like I just said it just because. No, no, no, explain this. But so I'm more like because I said so she's more like, well, you can't go to the mall because of this because this could happen. Explain your parenting

style. Mine is my dad was like, no, and you didn't ask why. It was what it was. You just figured it out later. Giz a little different. I prefer the explanation. Yeah. So that's how my parents were with me. I knew that my parents never said no just for the sake of saying no.

Because parents are overworked and they are stressed. You really have to take a moment. You have to take a beat. We all have to take a beat to listen to our children and be patient. And because I knew that my parents were invested in me that way, I knew that when they said no, there was a good reason. So we're asking 885-1051, how does your parenting style differ from your partner's? Yeah, I mean, explanations are good. That's how you learn, not just in parenting, like even just as a couple, for example, say to your wife did you orgasm and she says no, you know

She should explain to you why she didn't so you can make her the next time right in me So the question is eight hundred five eight five one. Oh five one How does your parent is style differ from your partners like Jess? I'm sure you and Chris is your parenting different or even you and wrong So so so when we come back, we'll find out, you know How it differs and how which one works how you say I just ignore Charlamagne. Yes, like yesterday for the birthdays I'm sure y'all did two different things, right? No, no, no Rome had to actually work. So Rome had him last week. Oh, that's you guys Yeah, then he came so that is the question and what impact does it have on your child?

800-585-1051 you want want to kiss me, I can tell. I can tell. Why you talking to Jeff like that, boy? I'm talking to you! He is not talking to me. You are crazy. I don't even like Dominican people.
