And the question was, should the boy go back to his father in Cuba? Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him. Or stay with his relatives in Miami? Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom. Listen to Chess Peace, the Elian Gonzalez story, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkey of the day. You get donkey of the day. You are a donkey. It's time for donkey of the day.

Donkey of the day, huh? I'm going to fatten all that shit around your eyes. They want this man to throw them blows, man. They wait for Charlamagne to tap them gloves. Let's go. They had to make a judgment of who was going to be on the donkey of the day. They chose you. This is breakfast club, bitches.

Who's donkey of the day today? Well, donkey of the day for Monday, January 30th goes to all you New Yorkers who, according to the New York Post, were in disbelief over the Empire State Building celebrating the Eagles' Super Bowl berth. If you haven't heard, the Empire State Building was seen green on Sunday night. And from what I saw on social media and heard from this so-called Giants fan DJ Envy folks weren't happy no okay now I follow some diehard New Yorkers all right people like Michael Rappaport drop on the clues bombs from Michael Rappaport all right rap has big New York SMD is

a greeting uh energy all right it's SMD to everybody else New York over everything for Michael Rappaport he posted on IG a picture of the Empire State Building lit up with Eagles colors and he said the mother effing Empire State Building has been hacked by Philadelphia Eagles fans. That wasn't no hack, Michael. That was intentional. Michael said they are not our friends. Fix

this NYC mayor. He's going to be at the Eagles Super Bowl party. Eric Adams might have been at the NFC Championship party in Philly last night. Michael Rappaport said this is like lighting it up in Boston Red Sox colors. Fix this now. Needless to say, New Yorkers were not happy. Let's go to CBS2 for the report, please.

The Empire State Building has been a defining feature for New York City skyline for nearly a century. And for more than a decade, they've been using LED lights to honor special occasions. Tonight, they changed their lights to celebrate the Philadelphia Eagles. The Empire State Building was green and white to celebrate the Giants' arch-rival Eagles after they earned a bid to the Super Bowl. The official Twitter even wrote, Fly, Eagles, Fly.

The title of the Eagles' flight song. The New York Sanitation Department called it a treacherous, traitorous, and unforgettable. Soon after the Kansas City Chiefs won the AFC championship game, the Empire State Building then switched their colors to red and yellow, saying, It hurt us more than it hurt you. We're now lit to honor the Chiefs. Look, some people are laughing about it now. Some people were just absolutely irate. But it certainly was something that caught everybody's attention. The best part of the sanitation department's tweet was, we take out the trash every day.

Next year, that will include the Eagles. Exactly. Right? It's sort of like, all right, we get it. But we're not going to let this one slide. You heard that news report correctly. Not only did they light up the Empire State Building with the colors of their NFC East rivals, the Philadelphia Eagles,

they lit it up with Kansas City Chiefs colors after they won. Philly would never. Never. Kansas City would never. I didn't see folks as mad about that. The Chiefs. I didn't see folks as mad about the Chiefs, but they should have been. Because no team should

come before your home team ever. There is never a reason to celebrate someone else's success when your team isn't where they want to be. I don't want to hear all that, well, if you don't celebrate someone else's success, you will never have any of your own. That applies to life, not in football. In football, if your team doesn't make the right personnel moves

in regards to coaches or makes the right personnel moves in regards to talent, you won't have any success. It don't got anything to do with celebrating some other team's success, whether you do or you don't. Okay. Especially an NFC East rival. All right. I am a diehard Dallas Cowboy fan.

I could care less about the Eagles success. I don't have to hate on it, but I don't have to acknowledge it either. And I feel like that about the Chiefs too. I don't care. Okay. Now I want to reference Michael Rapaport's post again about the Empire State Building being lit up with Eagles colors. Let me tell y'all something. I saw the good brother Fat Joe

like that post. And it confused the hell out of me because Fat Joe is a New York icon. An Empire State God. Joey Crack. Fat Joe to Don. There's not too many things that are synonymous with New York like Fat Joe. It's the Statue of Liberty. It's the Yankees fitted.

It's rats the size of Little Duval. And it's Fat Joe. All right, but I was confused because Fat Joe may not be happy about the Empire State Building being Eagles colors. But I think he would be happy about the Empire State Building being lit up in Chiefs colors because I saw Fat Joe fresh to death. Okay, like he always is performing at Arrowhead Stadium with Chief colors on and a Kansas City Chiefs hat. And I was like, damn, I thought Fat Joe was a Giants fan.

And when I said that to you this morning, Embiid, tell the people what you said. Tell them. Which one? One is a check? Oh, a check, huh? A check. And there lies the problem, New York.

Okay, New York staples, New York representatives like Fat Joe, they all hustle us. Okay, they will go get that bag, all right? And they will confuse the hell out of you because we can't tell hustling getting the bag from true support. And I've seen everyone from the Empire State Building to Fat Joe to DJ Envy support whoever is in the winner's circle at the moment. It's not true. Envy, you whoever is in the winner's circle at the moment. It's not true. Envy, you do it all the time. I do not. Not only do you do it in NYC,

if the Giants winning you with them, if the Jets winning you with them, if you get hired to DJ a Super Bowl party somewhere, then wherever you going, you root for them too. I am a Giants fan. Last year, you rooted for the Rams. Last year, you was in here saying you want the Rams to win. That doesn't mean I'm rooting for them.

Because if the Rams win, then Odell wins. And Odell winning is like the Giants winning. I wanted Odell to get a chip. Because he was a Giants fan. You said it was like the Giants winning. He was also a Cleveland Brown before he was a Rams fan. But he was an OD, so he was a Giants fan. That is the dumbest logic I ever heard in my life.

Why you had to wear the hat? Why you had to wear the hat? I don't wear no hat. Why you had to wear the Rams hat? I don't wear no hat. You had a Rams hat. No, I did not have a Rams hat. You had a Rams hat.

You had a white Rams hat. I did not have a Rams hat. With the blue jersey. It was the white jersey. No, the blue jersey with the yellow. I did not have a jersey. Yes, you did. That is a lie.

You had on white jeans. And that was disrespectful. I did not have on white jeans. No. And I'm not Dominican. White jeans and a blue jersey, a Giants jersey is a Dominican outfit. But you flipped it with the blue Rams jersey and white jeans. No. And I'm not Dominican. White jeans and a blue jersey, Giants jersey is a Dominican outfit. But you flipped it with the blue Rams jersey and white jeans.

Liar. Disgusting. Disgusting. I just want y'all to know that's what New Yorkers do. And at some point we have to admit it's okay. All right?

Down South music popping. New York artists start making Down South music. Drill music from Chicago popping. New York artists start making drill music. Gang banging popping on the West Coast. New Yorkers embrace gang banging. Another

team in the Super Bowl. That's not the Giants and Jets. New Yorkers root for that team. Just admit it. Okay, this is the great American melting pot. Team hopping is what some New Yorkers do. Now, I'm not generalizing all New Yorkers because there's some diehard New Yorkers who bleed big blue for real. Who don't know

nothing except for the Giants and the other side don't know nothing but the New Yorkers who bleed big blue for real. Who don't know nothing except for the Giants and the other side don't know nothing but the New York Jets. And New York embraces any and everyone. And y'all know this. So to be sitting around acting like y'all in disbelief because the Empire State Building was lit up with eagle colors? Ha! Ha!

Ha! That's the New York way. In fact, I guess we would call that type of team hopping having an Empire State of mind. Please let diehard New York way It's not In fact I guess We would call that Type of team hopping Having an empire State of mind Please let die hard New Yorker Remy Ma Give all the

So called New Yorkers Okay so called Giants and Jets fans Who are in disbelief Over the empire State building Being lit up with Eagles colors

The biggest hee haw Hee haw Hee haw You stupid Motherfucker Are you dumb Remy is disgusted at you. I'm a Giants fan.

I can't tell. Oh, yes, I'm always a Giants fan. You see what's behind me? Giants. That means nothing. And yes, if the Jets make it and the Giants don't, I want New York to win. I'm a New Yorker. They got to do it with the Rams.

Play it, play it right. Nah, it's here today. Today is the day, boy. Today is the day, and I'm excited about that. How y'all feeling? I'm tired. Why is it the day today? What you know that we don't know?

I'm in L.A. right now for Super Bowl. You know, I was out here DJing, working, and I'm going to the Super Bowl on Sunday. Absolutely. Now, who you going for? Rams or Cincinnati? I'm going to say Cincinnati. She's a New Yorker. You know what I'm saying?

Dallas Cowboys, baby. That's right. You know what I'm saying? That's who the hell I'm going for. Always. Okay, Dallas Cowboys, D.C. all day. That's right. They're nowhere near.

Any questions? Now watch you. What about you, Envy? I want to see Odell get one. I said Odell. I didn't say the Rams. I said Odell. They did Odell dirty, so I want to see Odell get a ring.

What's wrong with that? If you're from New York, you cannot root for any other team. I wanted Melo to get a ring, too, when he played for the Lakers. I wanted Melo to get a ring. What's wrong with that? If you're from New York, you cannot root for any other team. I wanted Melo to get a ring too when he played for the Lakers. I wanted Melo to get a ring. I'm a New York Knicks fan, but I wanted Melo to get a ring. What did I say? He just admitted if you're from New York, you can root for other teams. No, I didn't say that. I'm a New Yorker.

I said specifically if you're from New York, you can't root for the other team. New York did him dirty, and I wanted him to get a ring. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Team Hoppin' is. New York did them dirty, and I want them to get a ring. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. Team hopping is the New York way. That is having an empire state of mind. I'm not talking to you, man. Root for whoever's in the winner's circle if you're from New York.

I'm not talking to you. That's what they do. How you doing, Nene? That's what they do. I'm doing good. All right. Well, that was your donkey of the day. 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. Hey, guys. I'm Kate Max.
