Well, just hilarious. Donkey of the Day for Tuesday, August 27. Goes to a young woman named Zyra J. Dennis. I think I'm pronouncing her name right.

She's 24 years old of Millville, New Jersey, and she was recently accused of defiant trespassing and violating two city ordinances. Ordinances. How do you pronounce that? Ordinances. Okay. I know what you're thinking.

Charlamagne can't pronounce nothing. But also you're thinking, trespassing Uncle Charlotte? Really? People violate city... What is it? Ordinances. You're saying it right.

You just say like H at the end. Ordinance. Ordinance. Ordinance. People violate city ordinances every day, B. Okay? We'll wait until you hear where she was trespassing at.

Let's go to ABC. Let's go to 6 ABC News Philly for the report, please. A South Jersey woman is now facing charges after police say video shows her climbing into a zoo enclosure. 24-year-old Zaire Dennis is facing one count of defiant trespassing. Police say she hopped a fence and entered a restricted area with the tigers.

This at the Kohanzik Zoo in Bridgeton. Authorities say she then enticed one of the 500-pound Bengal tigers by putting her hand through the wire enclosure. No one was hurt, but now Dennis is officially facing charges. Lions, tigers, bears, oh my. Zaire thought she was Detective Lieutenant Marcus Miles Bennett in Bad Boys Ride or Die. You don't believe you can die, huh? Okay, what reason other than possibly being high on fentanyl or some type of drug, would you jump into a cage at the zoo? Ma'am, do you realize tigers are ambush predators, okay, that primarily hunt large prey like wild boars and deers, but they also have a taste for monkeys, buffalo, sloth bears, leopards, and even crocodiles.

So what would make you believe that a tiger wouldn't make an entree out of you? Okay, you jumping into a tiger's cage at the zoo and the tiger is thinking well damn dinner delivered itself today. Okay, you jumping into a tiger cage is literally the animal version of Uber Eats. All right, tigers like I didn't know to take out but today I'll make an exception. You know what I really dislike about stories like this though? If that tiger would have made a meal out of you, they would have killed the tiger. Okay, why would you kill a tiger for being a tiger? If you was a human jumping in a cage with a tiger, I'm just going to assume you volunteering to be a value meal.

Okay, Zyra, did you lose a bet? Are you trying to go viral, thrill-seeking? Did you want to see what it feels like to be a whopper junior? I don't know what the issue is with you. Okay, now I don't like zoos either. Okay, zoos are animal prisons. And there's a reason that they keep these animals in cages at the zoo.

It's because they are actually wild animals. Okay, razor sharp claws, bite force that snaps bones like twigs. These aren't house cats. And I believe that because of Frosted Flakes and Tony the Tiger, folks have this perception of tigers and they think tigers are sweet,

and it's all fun and games until you're in the digestive system of this apex predator. What happened to common sense? How many times has this woman watched The Life of Pi to think this was a good idea? Okay, Life of Pi came out, what, 12 years ago? Zyra is 24, so that's half her age.

I could see her watching this as a child and having it stuck in her mind that one day she too will form an unexpected bond with a tiger. But Zyra, this ain't a movie, man. Okay, you not gonna miraculously tame this wild beast and walk away not a snack. Peter, where y'all at? Okay,

this is when y'all supposed to be on someone like Zyra's ass because she's endangering the lives of animals that are already in zoo prison and we don't need copycats okay because these animals minding their business and then people start jumping in their cages all right I'm a tiger I see you apple bees all you can eat buffet now I get put down after enjoying a delicious treat because you decided you ma'am human not to use common sense please give Zaya J Dennis the biggest hee-haw.

Oh, now you are. We have somebody new running the boards. You want to play a game? I ain't letting this place scratch me out. I already know how bootleg this place can be. You want to play a game? Sure. Let's play a game of Guess What Race It Is. All right.

Zyre J. Dennis, 24 years old of Millville, New Jersey, jumped into a tiger's cage at the zoo. DJ Envy, Guess What Race It Is. Latino. Oh. Suavemente. Suavemente. Suavemente.

Why do you think she Latino? I don't know. Okay. I don't know. You just thought she Latino? I just know he didn't have the music, and I just wanted to see what he was going to do for not having the music. Lauren LaRosa, Jair J. Dennis, 24 years old of Millville, New Jersey, decided to jump into the tiger's cage at the zoo. Guess what? Right she is!

Giving a little mayonnaise. A little mayonnaise. Shake it off! Oh, no, that's not it. That's not it. Wait, what you were saying? Shake it off. Shake it off. Shake it off. Alright. DJ Envy, Lauren LaRosa, I want you both to know that you are

absolutely positively wrong. Zyra J. Dennis is black. Oh, man. Is she black? Yeah, she's black. She's black. Her edges is laid. You see what I'm saying?

She jumped over that fence. She must have just been having a day. Pretty, too. She might need some help. Pretty. She want to pet the tiger? It might be more serious than what we understand, y'all. What you mean?

Because. Did she do it for the gram? I don't know why she did it. Oh, for TikTok. Look at her trying to feed the tiger. She a pretty young girl. Y'all keep saying she pretty. What does it have to do with anything?

Pretty people make better decisions or something? I mean, I ain't going to say that. I'm just saying if you ugly, we can understand why you want to get eaten. I can't don't need for this pretty girl to be doing stuff like this. Yeah. Okay? All right. That ponytail is late.

All right. Look, Brandon, it's your age group. You know he don't like black women. Look at Brandon. Brandon want to eat them more than the tiger right now. Brandon was interested when I said it was mayonnaise. Oh, yeah. I forgot.

Yeah. That ain't Brandon taste. All right. I'm sorry. Brandon like white meat. Okay. Black man from Ghana that like white meat. So like we said, our producers are out.

Both of our producers are out. So it's been kind of hectic up here the last couple of days. That's why you haven't heard the sound effects. Now. DVD with the subtitles is crazy. The reason I do this is because we just got another one. So Big Mac, our producer, sent us this as a topic. He says, more women in the U.S. are skipping

college for vocational schools and pursuing careers as electricians, car mechanics, and drivers. He's saying that people feel that men are the new, sorry, women are the new men. So the question is, 800-585-1051, are men becoming too soft that women have

to take on traditional men roles? A lot of women not wearing deodorant nowadays either, so they be musty. So that's a great vocation. I like the fact that they in vocational school. 800-585-1051. Are men becoming too soft that women are now taking on traditional men roles? I don't think it got nothing to do with being soft. I just think the women are smarter.

They know where the money at. Yeah, but listen, let me tell you. That's why I said whoa. That is a bit of a stretch. It's a $2 billion. Why are you looking at me? That's him. Mac.

There you go. Look at him. That question was a little biased just a little bit. It's the way you worded it. It's a $2 billion industry. I'm sorry. People are $2 billion in debt. I don't know what you're talking about right now.

People are not going to traditional schools anymore because of the amount of debt in the U.S. The investment is not worth what you're saying. And we'll take your calls when we come back. Y'all can tell I went to a vocation. Let's call girl Jordan the welder. Jordan, call in right now, Jordan. Jordan is a welder that listens to us all the time. She's been listening to us for years. She makes a lot of money.

That's right. And we'll talk about when we come back at the Breakfast Club. Come on. Donkey of the Day is brought to you by the law office of Michael S. Laminsoff. Don't be a donkey. Dial pound 250 on your cell and say the bull if you've been hurt in a construction accident. That's pound 250 from your cell and say the bull. Wake that ass up.

Early in the morning. The Breakfast Club. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you.
