Hi-ha, bitch. He-ha! It's time for Donkey of the Day. I'm a big boy, I can take it if he feel I deserve it. It ain't no big deal. Wow, bro. This is a good I say something you may not agree with. Doesn't mean I mean.

Who's getting that donkey? That donkey, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't. Donkey of the day right here. The breakfast club, bitches. You can call me the donkey of the day, but like, I mean no harm. Yeah, it's donkey today for Tuesday, September 30th, goes to a man named Lorenz Cross. Okay, Lorenz is 53 years old. And he's from upstate New York, I believe.

Albany, I think it is. And he's just one of these people who doesn't know the difference between a illusion in reality. You already know I blame that on social media. Okay, the virtual reality that social media creates the alternative reality, it allows us to live in really have people not knowing what's real and what's not real. But more importantly, it has people thinking they don't have to answer for anything they do. Okay, it has people believing there is absolutely zero consequences to their actions.

You see it all the time. People get killed and then their killer goes live and starts discussing it with people online, Like, what they just did is not criminal. Like, you just didn't take a life. Now you're online admitting to a crime that is going to get you life. And it's not an age thing, okay? No, people of all generations in this era think they can just do and say whatever with zero consequences. Exhibit A, 53-year-old Lorenz Cross.

See, Lorenz Cross decided to contact a local news outlet. Local news outlet CBS 56 because he wanted to do what most people like to do nowadays. And that's chat. Okay? He wanted to do an interview because he wanted to do. to get some things off his chest. He had some things he wanted to confess. Well, what could he have possibly wanted to confess?

Well, I'm going to tell you right now, this clip is disturbing and may trigger you, just letting you know. I don't know why we have to say things like that to y'all anymore because true crime is the number one genre in podcasting, and y'all love watching murder mysteries on Lifetime. But here you go. Let's go to CBS News 56 for the report, please.

Police arrested 53-year-old Lorenz Krause in upstate New York after he confessed to killing his parents and then burying them in the backyard of their home eight years ago. Officials say they were investigating why the couple were receiving Social Security payments despite not being seen for years. Now, Krause sat down with Craig Floyd from our affiliate at CBS 6, Albany, where he made the stunning confession. Did one parent, did your mom or your dad more so than the other, ask you to take their lives? They didn't explicitly say that, but they made it clear.

that they were going downhill when it actually happened when your parents died did they know what was happening to them oh yeah and they knew it was at your hand well yes no one else's so they they realized what you were doing to them as it happened yes they knew that this was it for them that they were perishing at your hand yes and it was so quick how does you do it yeah i won't i can't talk about that well you just told us that right it was at your hand right Were there drugs involved? Was there a suffocation? Was there you suffocated them?

Yeah. Which parent did you suffocate first? My father, and he, after he died, my mother put her head on his chest. And she was there for a few hours, and then I finished her. Damn, you know. I know Vlad is somewhere like, damn, how I miss that one? Now, I got some issues. ask about this situation number one everybody is content over everything nowadays

everybody okay because according to the news report this guy Lorenz sent the two-page statement the news outlets with his phone number so Stone Grissom the TV station's news director called him and Lorenz cross told him he buried his parents in his yard then he asked Lorenz if he killed them and Laurence said I plead the fifth so Grissom told him I promise I will post your statement on the TV station's website if you agree to come in for an interview and Lorenz agreed. They even

checked Lorenz to make sure he was unarmed when he was arrived. Now they did have a plane closed police officer in the front lobby, but my question is why didn't the TV news director report this to the police as soon as he got the information? Why would an interview be scheduled? Why would an interview be conducted?

He should have been detained and bought in for questioning as soon as he stepped foot in that lobby but people put content over everything. Should he have been interviewed? Yes. by police. Okay. Now, Albany County Assistant Public Defender Rebecca Sokol, who was representing Lorenz Cross, said he would be said she would be looking into how the interview came about

because in her words, if the media was essentially an agent of police in this matter, that could raise questions about whether Lorenz comments in the interview would be legally admissible at trial. Listen, I'm not about to sit here and act like I know what any of that means legally. I just know morally, ethically and commonsensely, if I get an email from someone

telling me they buried their parents in the backyard, my next thought is not going to be, you know what, let's book them for the breakfast club. Nope. Okay? It also says a lot about the times we are in that Lorenz wanted to do an interview. I know criminals seeking fame for crimes is not new, but the fact he gave this interview

and thought he was just going to walk out and go enjoy some Waffle House afterwards says a lot about this era. Please let Remi Ma give Lorenz Cross the biggest he-ho. Hi-hah, he-ha, you stupid motherfucker, are you dumb? That's wild. That's crazy.

That's crazy. What race is there? Are you going to play a game? Let me look. Look first. Let's play a game. Because he don't sound like his name. Now, Lorenz, I know one Lorenz.

That's play. But, yes. I think he's about Lorenz Day. Oh, that's me, too. Yes, that's the same damn person. Oh, sorry. Yeah, I'm looking at him. Slow asses.

No, who, yeah. Except from power. I mean. But then when I heard his voice, he sounded like Jeffrey Dahmer. So, let's play a game. Let's play a game. All right, let's play a game of guess what race is. This should be so easy.

Lorenz crossed 53 years old from upstate New York, killed his parents, buried him in the backyard, then decided to do an interview about it, and thought he was just going to walk free after the interview. Guess what race he is? White, white, white, white, white, white. Why do you say white? Why do you say white?

Well, you're on fencing all this morning. Yes, he is. He has. Fancho's ass to me. I knew Latinos was going to be wild after bad bunny got to school, but he's been just ridiculous this morning. Just hilarious.

Lorenzo Cross, 53 years old, killed both his parents, buried him in the backyard, then went into the interview about it and thought he was just going to walk free. Guess what races? Brous hard it.

Say, no, he's white. Shake it off. Shake it off. That's just stupid, but yes, definitely right. Well, DJ Envy, just hilarious. I want y'all both to know that you are absolutely correct. I know he's called his Caucasian. He looked so disturbed.

He looked Jeffrey Dahmer Caucasian. Yes, he did. Ted Bundy Caucasian. Charles Benson Carcassian. And that's so crazy that he did this in Albany. And I'm going to Albany, October. 11th and the 12th for comedy shows at the Funny Bones. So get your tickets if you want to enjoy some laughter after grieving.

Yeah, he won't be there. Yeah, I'm glad he won't. I'm glad he won't. Okay. But y'all get your tickets at justlarias official.com. That's October 11 or 12th. If you see him sitting in the front row, something wrong. I know.

No, I rebuke it. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Now, just to let you know we're on Twitch right now, so we're streaming on Twitch. You can go to Breakfast Club AM, and we're going to take some of your, we're going to go to the chat off this one. So we're asking $800-585-10. when Bad Bunny is performing at the Super Bowl this year. How do you feel about it?

People are upset. They say he performs primarily in Spanish, and some people say that they're not going to understand what he's saying. Who are these people? A lot of people are saying that. They're saying that are they wearing ice jackets? Are these people wearing? And they're also saying because Bad Bunny is so outspoken,

a critic of Donald Trump, and he's been vocal about an advocate for a Latinx rights. What artists could they get? That wouldn't be honest. spoken to Donald Trump. Kidrock? That is the question. 800-585-105-105. People are saying that, you know,

the football league is 20 percent, I think less than 20 percent Latin. The people that are actually play in the league, and they're saying that they're not going to know what bad bunny saying. But that's why you're going going to bring out Josla Hernandez. That's what they're saying. He's going to bring out some other people. They're saying that he's not performing in English and

that's the problem. I don't care. Because music is a no. Music is a vibe. Turn it up a little bit. My husband is so happy about that. You just want a vibe to this. Webba, web, web, web, way, way, pa, web, I don't even think it's that beat. All right, we'll take it.

I definitely don't want to hear that. That's a Mexican beat. We're so confused. Imagine you deaf watching closed caption and you hear what Envy was just doing. What the hell? 105-1, let's discuss. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
