You are a donkey. I told you how to act like a donkey. Everything that's Charlie Lane saying is true. Is it? Is it Terrence Howard? Donkey of the Day for Monday, April 15th goes to the suits. The executives at 105.3 to beat in Atlanta. Dropping the clues bombs for everybody listening up in Atlanta.

I don't know if they are this morning, but I'm not going to name individual names because I don't know who to aim at yet. And I hate to bring internal work things to the public because I know y'all don't care. But the same way every now and then y'all vent about your place of employment. Every now and then I have to vent about mine too. We, The Breakfast Club, are blessed to be syndicated in over 100 markets. We truly thank god for it all dropping the clues bombs for the 8 million monthly listeners that make that possible uh thank you one of those markets is in atlanta georgia 105.3 to beat uh we do very well in that

market we also have the second annual black effect podcast festival happening uh in atlanta april 27th thank you go get your tickets right now at eventbrite.com or blackeffect.com slash podcast festival. But on Friday, I saw this pop up on Baller Alert. Did y'all see this? I did. I saw it. You saw it? Yep.

It was sent to me. Let me see. Damn, I can't even find it now. By my friends in Atlanta. Old last phone he got. He can't even pull it up. What'd they say? Jesus.

Oh, here it goes. They said, wow, y'all not going to be broadcasting in Atlanta no Old ass phony guy. He can't even pull it off. What'd they say? Jesus. Oh, here it goes. They said, wow, y'all not going to be broadcasting in Atlanta no more? You see that? Mm-hmm. They're kicking y'all out, Josh, because you can't read. I'm like, what? That would not be the reason because I can't read. What?

It said on Baller Alert, sources confirm the Breakfast Club, and they use this very pixelated picture of us. It says, sources confirm the Breakfast Club to be dropped from 105.3 FM's lineup in Atlanta. Now, the reason I'm bringing this to radio is because I've been asking about this a little bit this weekend and I ain't get no answers. You get any answers, Amy? I did not. Jess and Larry, did you get any answers?

I didn't even ask. I was too scared. I thought it was because I couldn't read. I've been trying to figure out what's up with this all weekend, okay? And nobody is responding. Louis V, the program director, that's our guy. Okay, we're from South Carolina, 803 Metro. He's not replying to me.

What the hell is happening? Anytime y'all need something from us, we deliver. That's right. When y'all got questions, we got answers. So how come now that I got some questions, we got some questions, nobody is replying. All right? I love being in Atlanta. Only problem I've ever had with Atlanta is the BS signal we on.

OK, it's a good signal, but, you know, not as strong as it should be. All right. We've been pushing for a stronger signal since we found out the signal is weak. Other than that, I have no problem with the ATL, but I do have a problem with corporate at one oh five point three to beat, not informing us that we are being dropped from the lineup in Atlanta. OK, who are these sources and how do these sources know more than we do? Okay, very unprofessional for us to have to find this out via baller alert. And we have been nothing but professional with you all. And it's a shame that I have to get on this radio and give you all donkey of the day

in order to get your attention. Now, I bet today I will get a call back. Absolutely. I bet one of us will get a call back in this room today. I'll probably get a text. Right now, probably. Probably, within the next five minutes. That's right.

Why is Charlene doing that? That's unprofessional. Yeah, I'm matching energies. I'm matching unprofessional energies this morning. You don't like how I'm handling this? I don't like how y'all handling us. So I would like to tell Atlanta and the people of Atlanta, thank you. And this is just to the listeners and the listeners only.

Thank you. Drop on the clues bombs for the listeners in Atlanta. ETL, you made us a success on 105.3 to beat. And if this is the end, gratitude is our attitude. I don't even know if we on in Atlanta right now. Yeah. If you can hear us in Atlanta this morning on 105.3 to beat, reach out and touch us right now. 1-800-585-1051 is the number.

I want to know if y'all can hear us because it'll probably be the last time. All right. And if we weren't getting dropped from there, and that was just a bad rumor, we probably getting dropped now. But either way, thank you, Atlanta. Okay? Thank you. The people of Atlanta have been better

to us than the executives at 105.3 The Beat have been, and we will see you in Atlanta at the second annual Black Effect Podcast Festival, April 27th. And 105.3 The Beat will clearly not be there. Please give all the suits at 105.3 The Beat in Atlanta, the biggest seahawks.
