It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkeys of the Day, how y'all doing, man? I'm a Democrat, so being Donkey of the Day I'm a democrat So being Donkey of the Day Is a little bit of a mixed place

So like a donkey Donkey of the Day Now I've been called a lot In my 23 years but Donkey of the Day Is a new one Donkey of the Day for Tuesday March 12th That is the date right? Tuesday March 12th that is the date right tuesday march 12th

yes it is tuesday march 12th uh goes to the cultural pipe cultural pop icon known as madonna okay drop on the clues bombs for madonna now if you don't know madonna is currently on her celebration tour and she had a recent stop in la and she's been getting smoke online after she questioned the concert goer for sitting down during her show before realizing they were in a wheelchair let's listen what are you doing sitting down over there why are you doing sitting down oh okay completely incorrect sorry about. I'm glad you're here. Madonna, Madonna, Madonna.

She must be a blood because she showed absolutely zero respect for the crip. Okay, Madonna, you might as well have asked him to come up to do some jokes so he could have told you. I don't do stand-up. And I love moments like this, okay? If you have ever been in high school and told a yo mama joke to somebody whose mother was dead, you feel Madonna's pain. If you have ever asked someone how many months you are and that person replies, I'm not pregnant, then you feel Madonna's pain. If you have ever met someone who has one arm or one hand and your dumb ass goes to dap them as if they have have one. OK, you felt Madonna's pain. Now madonna said she was being politically incorrect i disagree

the definition of politically incorrect is that uh you do not care if you offend or upset other people in society who have a disadvantage who have been treated differently because of their sex gender race or disability madonna clearly cared that the person was in the wheelchair okay an example of political incorrectness would be if saucucy Santana was in that moment and Saucy told someone to stand up. Didn't realize the person was in a wheelchair. Didn't acknowledge they was in a wheelchair and then proceeded to perform walk. OK, and while we were on the subject, it is time for artists to think about the disabled among us when they make music. OK, for example, the Migos didn't think about folks with wheelchair disabilities are the mute when they made walk it, talk it.

OK, Petey Pablo didn't think about amputees or people born with no arms when he made raise up. All right. Take your shirt off, spin it around your head like a helicopter. How I would love to, Petey, but I can't. I wonder, has there ever been an amputee with no arms who went to a concert and a rapper, you know, said, throw your hands in the air and wave them like you just don't care and then stop the show the shame the amputee for not having his hands up inquiring minds would truly like to know okay we also don't give enough credit to artists who have made songs that are inclusive of those with wheelchair disabilities tupac shakur picture me rolling thank you tupac okay big tim. Everybody get your roll on. Thank you, Manny and Birdman. OK, I love rock and roll by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. Not only was it inclusive to people with wheelchair disabilities, it was inclusive to crack addicts.

What kind of rock do you think he was talking about? Madonna. The only thing that would have been worse than this is if you would have told an amputee who had their arms removed to Vogue. Can you imagine? Stop the music. Why aren't you voguing? Meanwhile, the person trying, but they don't have any arms, so they're all shoulders with it. The moral of the story is, mind your business, okay? Mind your business. Or, instead of asking demands,

ask questions. It shouldn't be, why aren't you standing? It should have been, why aren't you standing? That simple question would have saved you that cringe-inducing moment. Please give Madonna the sweet sounds of the Hamilton's. You are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day.

Yee-haw. Salute to all our folks out there listening to Breakfast Club and Wheelchairs. Okay, we appreciate you. People think they can take advantage of you because y'all are easy to push around and don't stand up for yourselves. I disagree. Okay, salute to y'all. All right. Madonna Dom. That's crazy. That's right. Thank you for y'all. All right. Madonna Dom.

That's crazy. That's right. Thank you for that donkey today. Absolutely. Oh, Lord have mercy. What happened? I know the president of the Fat Lives Matter committee ain't texting me right now. Come here, Fat.

Come here, Mac. Uh-uh. Did you say come here, Fat? No, I said come here, Mac. Oh, I was raised that way. Yeah, you said come here, Fat. First of all, somebody did Matt so dirty. One of our producers earlier going to be walking behind him talking about move out the way.

You slow and you know I can't get around you. Why would you say that to somebody? It's taking him a second to get in here. But he was walking behind me and I walked slow. What's up? No, I was just thinking about what you said. And I was thinking about how many different songs that the handicapped people really feel neglected. Like when Stanky Lake comes on.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's yeah. The Electric Slide. Oh, man. Damn. Damn. neglected like okay when stanky lay comes on oh yeah yeah yeah that's yeah the electric slide oh damn damn when ludicrous stand up comes on but but but ludicrous made up for it when he made too fast too furious why because that's how it was rolled out they got a whole bunch of different ones see it got way better that's right and if you act like you don't care, that's all cap. Handicap.

Salute that. Salute to everybody that listened to us in the wheelchair this morning. We appreciate you. Salute to y'all. The Breakfast Club stands with you. That's right. You could have kept that. Crazy. You know what?
