The future on the donkey of the day

is something to hold. Is it a reason? He gave me donkey of the day and I deserve it. People need to know. What do you need to tell me? I am. You have the voice.

Tell them. It's time for don't give the day. It's a reed, but you're so good at it. You're trying to be a fake-ass Charlemagne. He only wants Charlamagne to go. Damn, Salamane. Who you gave a dusty other day to then? Well, sexy red.

Donkey of the Day for Wednesday, March 25th, goes to a Manhattan real estate attorney named Brian McKenna. Now, Brian is going to prison, ladies and gentlemen. Okay, that's why the New York Post referred to him as disgraced real estate attorney, Brian McKenna. He's 62 years old and he's going to prison for up to six years. Why? What do men usually risk it all for?

That poom-pum, okay, that kitty, that undercarriage, that cookie, that penis fly trap. Yes, Brian McKenna is being accused of stealing $4.4 million intended for COVID protective gear. Allegedly, defund the romance with his den girlfriend. Oh, the power of the P-U-S, I can't spell the rest. Would you like to hear his reaction in the court? Let's listen. I did these crimes and I deserve to go to jail. I don't know what else to say for myself.

All right. Mr. McKenna, I understand. I really appreciate you taking full responsibility, but ultimately, sir. I know. All right. Now, there are so many things that discussed me about this story. Number one, you stole all this money from people who needed it, okay?

Folks needed that COVID protective gear during COVID, and you just stole it. Okay? You just stole the money for it. A man who didn't need it? Okay, you're a lawyer. You're 62 years old, Brian, so you were in your 50s when you came up with this scam. Because what, Kobe was, COVID was six years ago? Okay, I don't understand people who literally have the world in their hand.

You have worked hard to become an attorney in this country, okay? You, more than a lot of people, understand the process of life. You understand life is a process, okay? Becoming a lawyer takes at least seven years of full-time higher education. this country, all right? Four years for a bachelor's degree, three years of law school, you have to pass the bar exam. They got a baby bar and the big bar. My point is, it's not easy. And nothing in life worth having ever is, but for some reason, you thought you could cut the line. You thought you could take a $4.4 million shortcut, all to impress a woman who already has her own money.

He was dating the then-CEO of Aston's group. Her name was Duney Zeney. Okay, that's according to the New York Post. I don't know how much she was making, but if she was the CEO of a company, she was touching some paper. So I don't know why you went out of your way, Brian, to impress her. And I don't even like that phrase, fund a romance. You don't fund a romance. Romance happens because of physical attraction, emotional connection, situational factors, okay? Y'all might just match energies, all right? You like the same things. Share the same beliefs. And let's not forget the most important part. Reciprocal liking. Okay, you like me, I like you.

Romance can't be funded. Now, you can go buy some pink taco with some money. All right, go to Nevada, pull up in certain counties at a brothel, and you can purchase as much as that Harry Potter as you want. But funding a romance? Nah, no, no, no. I don't even want no romance that's funded because there's no such thing. You can't buy a love fool.

Now, Brian was in the courtroom crying his ass off. I want you to hear this again, man. Just listen. I did these crimes. I deserve you a hotel. I don't know what I was the same way. So, I understand. I really appreciate you taking full responsibility.

But ultimately, sir. I know. All right. Ultimately what? Ultimately what? He is going to jail for six years. I respected he's holding himself accountable. Okay, he said he did these crimes.

He said he deserves to go to jail. Now, his defense lawyer, Eric Franz, claimed to the court that Brian had run into financial struggles and that he was just trying to help his family with the stolen funds. But assistant DA Jonathan Borrell alleged that Brian stole the money to spend on himself and his gal pal, Duni Zane. Listen, neither one of those are valid reasons. So many people are having financial struggles.

And sadly, they don't have the luxury of resorting the crime to get it. Okay. And you, Brian, were in a privileged position already. Not just a privileged position to get money because you were a lawyer. You know what I'm saying? But also a Manhattan real estate attorney should be able to get his hands. on some happy clam. But no, instead you got to guard your balloon

not for the next six years in somebody's prison. Okay? Probably get ass warts. And for what? The moral of the story is, life is a matter of choices and every choice you make makes you. Please give Brian McKenna,

the sweetest he, look, the sweet sounds of the hammer tones. That's what I want. I have to think about it. Oh, now you are the donkey. Of the day. All the, I started to say give Brian McKenna a Swedish he-ha.

But that sounds like something you can purchase. It sounds like to be a lot of brothel in the bottom. All right. A Swedish he-ha. Don't move is the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's that time to put on your jersey and wave your flag,

whoever you root for. Why do I watch the World Cup? That's like asking me, why do I breed? And it's beautiful. The guys are young and cute and fat. It's not just a game. It's your world. culture.
