It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkey's in the day, I'm Charlamagne. It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkey of the Day.

I'm a Democrat, so being Donkey of the Day is a little bit of a mixed question. So like a donkey. Keyhawk. Donkey of the Day. The Breakfast Club, bitches. Now, I've been called a lot in my 23 years that Donkey of the Day is a new one. Yes, Donkey of the Day for Tuesday, July 18th goes to miranda lambert do any of the colors in the room know who miranda lambert is only because i saw the clip i i have no clue

okay well she's a country singer born in longview texas all right she's a pretty big deal uh sells millions of records has a really solid fan base and she has a residency in las vegas okay she's not no usher but she has a residency in las vegas all right and she started a little mayonnaise flavored kerfuffle over the weekend when she decided to shame some of her fans who paid their hard earned money to come to her residency. Now, I'm really interested to see what y'all think about this, because I see it both ways. First of all, the headline in The New York Post reads Miranda Lambert fans walk out of her concert after she shamed selfie takers. Let's listen to what happened i'm gonna stop right here for a sec danny i'm sorry these girls are worried about their selfie and not listening to someone's pissing me off a little

bit shall we start again? I think she was a little off key and she just used that to get back on key, but that's just me. Now there's a part of me who goes to concerts sometimes and performances and all I can think to myself is why is everyone watching this through their phone? Why can't people just ever enjoy the moment? It used to annoy me a lot until

I realized me being annoyed at them is causing me not to enjoy the moment see when we are at a live event a live show and folks is choosing to watch that show through their phones they choosing to go live the whole show they want to sing their favorite songs with their friends for their ig stories that's on them i'm not about to spend the whole show complaining about what they doing because then I personally won't be enjoying my moment. Now, let's look at that from the perspective of the performer. I'm Miranda Lambert. I'm performing.

I notice a group of girls taking a selfie in the crowd. It's 2003. Mind you, everybody and their mother probably got their phones out, but you are going to stop your whole show, interrupt the flow of everything, never mind everybody else that's actually engaged and enjoying you. You're going to stop the flow to shame kids for taking selfies at your concert. Miranda,

I know you're only 39, but relax, grandma. Okay? This is a very elderly annoyance, all right? I expect this type of behavior from Dolly Parton,

but Miranda, you're 39. Who's Dolly Parton? You really acting like a color. And I know you know better, all right? Better cut it out now. Over there acting like a little canary colored. A know better. All right? Better cut it out now. Over there acting like a little canary colored.

A little canary yellow colored over there. All right? All right? All right? Miranda, this is your era. You should be more than used to this by now. And to say it's pissing me off a little bit, okay? Sorry, I don't like it at all.

We're here to sing some country music. And these girls are worried about their selfie and not listening to the song. Maybe they love that song so much that they had to show their followers that they are all together watching their favorite artist singing their favorite song from that artist. That is nothing to stop a show over and shame the folks who paid good money to come watch you perform. Now, is the customer always right? No, but the customer can always make their own decisions. The customer can always make their own choices. The customer can always make their own choices. And guess what? Several fans chose to leave. They chose to chuck the damn deuces.

They decided to exit the premises because they came to a Miranda Lambert show to do a lot of things. But be shamed by Miranda Lambert is not one of them. To be shamed by the person they paid money, good money to see, is not one of them. Now, of course, these young ladies put their exit on social media okay they are consistent content is content you know you know you you made them feel important all right you were they were important enough that you stopped your show to shame them they think they really lit now let's listen let's go you don't do that to fans i'm so appalled latifah let's get dad on Yeah girl I don't even know why I let you drag me out

To this white shit anyway Cause Beyonce would never I didn't know it was colored I was like wait I had no idea Wow Miranda You didn't even make this a teachable moment You're supposed to encourage your fans to put the phones down

And just enjoy. All right? Enjoy where they are. If they don't, that's on them. They pay tickets. They can choose to enjoy the show however they want. If they don't, who cares? You still got paid.

Nowadays, taking selfies, going live, it's all part of the concert going experience. May not be for you, but it is for the customer. Please give Miranda Lambert the sweet sounds of the Hamilton's. going experience may not be for you but it is for the customer please give miranda lambert the sweet sounds of the hamiltons oh now you are the donkey of the day now am I tripping? No. Okay. Well, we could discuss.

Yeah. But what's the lady's name? Miranda Lambert. Name one song. I can't. I'm a colored. Why would I know her music? Chris, can you name one song?

Maybe he'll cheat. What song? I dug my key in. That's her? No? Let me see. I dug my key in. Why are you looking at the only white person in the room? Maybe he'll cheat. What song? I dug my key in. That's her? No? Let me see. I dug my key in. Why are you looking at the only white person in the room?

Don't do that. The only white person in the room. Don't call me out. Don't call me out. I thought he was saying yes. I dug my key into the side of his something, something, something, something. I googled Miranda Lambert dug my key in Carrie Underwood. Oh, okay.
