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.
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 moment.
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.
Craziest people in America come from the Bronx
and all of Florida.
Yes, we are adults.
A Florida man attacked an ATM for a very strange reason.
It gave him too much money.
Florida man is arrested after deputies say he rigged the door to his home
in an attempt to electrocute his pregnant wife.
Police arrested an Orlando man for attacking a flamingo.
The Breakfast Club, bitches.
Donkey of the day with Charlemagne the guy.
I don't know why y'all keep letting him get y'all like this.
I know old school industry levels quarrel when I hear one.
Yo, shut up.
All right.
You're trying to make us a couple.
You better stop.
I ain't trying to make y'all nothing.
Not an old school lovers quarrel.
I know it.
Okay.
I used to work with Wendy Williams.
I know what the hell's going on.
Okay.
Donkey of the Day for Tuesday, September 12th goes to Timothy DeMars.
Timothy is 62 years old, and he hails from Fort Myers, Florida.
Okay, what did your Uncle Sharla always say about the great state of Florida?
The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida.
And who knew that people in Florida loved their grass so much?
When I'm talking about grass, I'm not talking about old school slang for marijuana.
I'm talking about grass, your yard, your lawn.
Okay, I had no idea that people in Florida take their lawns so serious.
Now, we've all seen the movie Friday.
Stanley was the first time I witnessed someone not wanting people to be on their lawn.
Now, then I'm an adult who has his own lawn and pays good money for landscaping.
I overstand.
Don't walk on my lawn.
I have no problem getting barefoot and grounding, which Envy needs to do right now.
I have no problems with the kids running around in the backyard.
But if you don't live here, stay off my damn lawn.
But I'm not going to jail or potentially getting killed over some grass.
And that's exactly the position Timothy DeMars put himself in when he decided to, you know what, let's go to NBC2 for the report, please.
Two construction workers were leaving work for the night attaching their trailer to their truck. That's when they say a man walked outside of his home and pointed a gun
at them all because he was afraid that they were going to ruin his grass. Residents who live on
South Town and River Drive say that they're shocked to hear that the issue escalated so
quickly. One of their neighbors is accused of
pointing a gun at two construction workers. A report from the Lee County Sheriff's Office
says that Timothy DeMars even told deputies that he would shoot the construction workers
if they messed up his lawn. That's a lot for some grass. They found the gun that he allegedly
pointed at the men on a shelf in his garage, and they say it was loaded.
Deputies arrested DeMars, and he's facing charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill.
But tonight, he is bonded out of jail.
Now, here at the Breakfast Club, we had a debate about this,
because the president of the Fat Lives Matter committee told me Timothy should be allowed to pull a gun on these two construction workers
because he's 62 years old.
What?
I say that's malarkey.
He's saying that that's what old people do
when you walk on their lawn.
What?
Listen, man, he's fat. The fact that he's
62 is all the more reason
I think he shouldn't have done it because
he's too old to be going to jail.
Would you rather have someone ruin your grass or ruin your ass?
Because that's what's probably going to happen to you in jail,
not to mention you in Florida.
Everybody scrapped, okay?
Everybody got a gun.
It's a stay-in-your-ground state.
What if you would have pulled your gun on these people for walking on your lawn
and then one of these people would have pulled out a gun
and shot you dead all over some grass?
Timothy, now you got all your neighbors shook.
Okay, I saw one neighbor say they didn't expect this from him.
Another neighbor said he's not the type of person to play with.
But now the whole neighborhood watch got to watch the neighbor.
And the neighbor is you.
Because any small neighborhood infraction could lead to someone getting a gun pulled on them.
God forbid you speed through that neighborhood, you might catch two to the chest.
Okay?
Please don't knock over anybody's trash cans.
Oh, my God.
The dog poop on your lawn?
You and the dog getting shot.
All right?
Parking in front of his house?
I bet you won't without wearing a bulletproof vest.
All right?
There used to be a time you could go to your neighbors
and welcome them with a pie or something.
With this guy, you have to go over and let them know you got guns we got guns too and that's the problem everybody got guns and
you would think since everybody has guns everybody would be a lot cooler but for some reason everybody
is a lot more quick on the draw and personally i'm not about to be six feet under some grass
because somebody walked on mine please give tim Timothy DeMars the biggest he... That was always that crazy neighbor that didn't want you walking on their grass.
But we ain't see him pull no gun on nobody for it.
That's all I'm saying.
They chase you with a bat, usually.
Or you park in their parking spot when it's snowing
and people in New York
think the parking spot is theirs
and they shovel it out,
you park in somebody's parking spot.
You might get a gunshot.
Yeah,
that might happen in New York.
Say peace, BET.
We're not gonna play a game?
No,
I don't wanna play a game.
I wanna actually talk
about something else.
What do you wanna talk about?
I wanna,
say peace, BET.
BET,
we'll see you later, BET BET we'll see you at a mall
peace
alright BET

because I'm sick of both y'all Negroes because both of y'all sat here for an hour and a half What Breakfast Club? Who? I think we need to take you and Tyrese to Breakfast Club Court.
Because I'm sick of both of y'all Negroes.
Because both of y'all sat here for an hour and a half,
looked each other in the eyes.
I thought we hashed everything out.
I thought so, too. I thought the conversation was what it was.
Tyrese goes on Instagram.
He keeps fueling things.
Five days straight.
Now you're responding to it.
Now you got gear involved.
Nah, you know what it is?
All right, 800-585-1051.
Breakfast Club Court.
I don't even know what we in Breakfast Club Court for.
Tyrese was up here.
Yes, we had a long conversation.
At the end of the conversation, he apologized.
We decided to squash things out, right?
People hit us up and says, it's black brothers.
That's what we need to do more of.
Well, black and Dominican brothers.
Black and brown.
Tyrese is not Dominican.
He's black.
You are.
No, I'm not.
I'm black.
They said that, you know, at the end of it, that's what brothers need to do.
If we have a problem, something's wrong.
It was a good conversation.
It was a great conversation.
Regardless of how you felt about the conversation, a lot of great topics were addressed.
Correct.
Mental health issues.
Correct.
Brothers holding themselves accountable.
Correct.
Brothers knowing how to communicate and work things out.
Correct.
Tyrese ruined all of that.
Right.
He went on.
I told him that Saturday.
He got into social media.
His social media started hitting him.
Because of you. Because you told him you wanted to put something in his mouth. I said, I want the box in his mouth. I said, what do you He got into social media. His social media started hitting him. Because of you.
Because you told him you wanted to put something in his mouth.
I said, I want to box his mouth.
I said, what he...
You didn't say box his mouth.
You said, I want to box your mouth.
I said, I want to box your mouth.
I said, I should have boxed your mouth.
I said, the things that you said...
You said, you want to box your mouth and you like Lil D.
And...
I didn't say that.
See, why can't you be serious, Lil D?
That's the problem.
You can't be serious.
That's what made him...
That boxed your mouth.
That's what almost made him cry.
That boxed your mouth.
Because you don't take him serious.
No, no, no.
What made him almost cry is whatever y'all got going on behind the scenes.
We ain't got nothing going on behind the scenes.
And that's the other conversation we need to have.
You a little jealous right now.
I know an old school industry lover's quarrel when I had one.
But anyway, 800-585.
Or as I was saying, Tyrese got back home.
Y'all be cheek to cheek when ain't nobody looking.
Y'all be mooning each other somewhere.
800-585-1051.
Tyrese got back home.
I guess he watched the social media
and then for five days
he been going at me.
And then yesterday
he called me a liar.
I'm a liar.
I got receipts.
I got this, that, and the other.
Well, I got the truth.
You took it a step further
this morning
and you told people
why you felt like
Tyrese disrespected you
and that's because
he was flirting
with my wife.
With your wife.
Right.
And she said that.
That is the receipt.
Like, I don't need to text.
Her mouth is pause, pause, pause.
She is the receipt. See, I can't play with you. I'm not playing with you. receipt. I don't need to text. Her mouth is pause, pause, pause. She is the receipt.
See, I can't play with you.
I'm not playing with you.
I'm not playing with you.
This is some 1980s industry stuff.
Now you're giving up the wife?
You don't take this.
Whoa.
You don't take nothing serious.
This is wild.
You don't take nothing serious.
I ain't never seen you in Fast and Furious.
I don't even know why you're doing this.
I don't want to play with you.
What have you done?
I'm not playing with you.
What have you even given up?
I'm not playing with you. You're giving up all this and getting what out of it? My wife was the receipt. She was the truth. I ain't never heard a you're doing this. What have you done? What have you even given up? I'm not playing with you.
You're giving up all this
and getting what out of it?
My wife was the receipt.
I ain't never heard a song
that you got with a Tyrese feature.
What is happening here?
She is the reason.
She is the facts.
So 800-585-1051.
What is the question?
What did we ask you?
Listen, so you're not okay
with him calling you a liar.
You're going to clear your name,
but where do you stand with him
as far as his mental health journey?
I think you can be... oh that's your question to answer
I think you need to ask
the mental genius over there
I'm going to tell you I think he's full of
Can I say conga?
No, that's what he's full of
and I think he's full of that and I think he uses
mental health and that's part of the reason why I feel
like people don't necessarily trust people
I think he uses mental health to his advantage when he needs to.
When it's a problem, I think he says, oh, it's mental.
When it's a situation, oh, it's mental.
Instead of being a man and standing on his square and saying, I messed up, this was a problem.
That's what he does.
And he'll get online today, he'll cry and say this, that, and the other.
He does it all the time.
We see it every week.
And then, congratulations.
He does it all the time.
I think you can deal with mental health issues and both be full of caca but I think the
bigger conversation is we never talk about the people who have to deal with
people who have mental health issues how much are those people supposed to take
how much your family members supposed to take how much free how much your friends
supposed to take you know at some point you got to draw lines you got to set
boundaries you know,
regardless of what a person wants to do,
especially if the person does not want to go get help.
Right.
Right.
And that's my boundaries.
Block, you never have to speak to you again
because I don't want to get there.
And we know a lot more.
What do you mean?
We know a lot more.
What are you talking about?
All right.
You got to refresh my memory.
I'm going to be honest with you. I don't pay y'all niggas no
attention. Cause y'all get on my nerves.
And I think you a little jealous cause you seen another
brother, dog skin and
ball coming into your territory and you get
a little, look at you. Okay, time out.
Look at you.
You're admitting this is gay.
Shut up, man.
This is an old school industry.
It's the breakfast club. Come on.
And we're admitting this now.
Donkey of the Day is brought to you by the law office of Michael S. Lamisoff.
Don't be a donkey.
Dial pound 250 on your cell and say the bull if you've been hurt in a construction accident.
That's pound 250 from your cell and say the bull.
Wake that ass up.
In the morning.
The Breakfast Club.
