Each episode is about a different, inspiring figure from history. Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it.

Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, everyone. Apple Podcasts, or wherever you
Starting point is 00:03:12 listen to podcasts. Donkey of the Day for Thursday, June 30th goes to three individuals. A Florida man named John Earl Taylor. He's 34 years old. A woman from Arizona who has not been identified. And a 20-year-old woman from Lehigh Acres, Florida named Sham John Earl Taylor. He's 34 years old. A woman from Arizona who has not been identified. And a 20-year-old woman from Lehigh Acres, Florida named Shamia Tillman. What does your Uncle Sharla always say about the great state of Florida? The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. We know this.
Starting point is 00:03:56 But apparently the foolishness that exists in Florida is spreading to other parts of the country. Because never in my existence of life have I met three nugget lovers like John Taylor, this unidentified Arizona woman, and Shamia Tillman. Oh, their love of nuggets is unmatched. Okay, and not just any nuggets, the very, I think, underrated nuggets that exist at a fast food restaurant that we all know and love called Wendy's. Drop one of Clues bombs for Wendy's. Wendy's is the ultimate comfort food. It just is, okay? Everything from Wendy's seems like a great hug. I'm not
Starting point is 00:04:31 even joking. This is not an endorsement. I'm just telling you historically the role Wendy's has played in my life, okay, when I was a young lad living in Moncks Corner, South Carolina in the 1900s, like the early ninth decade of the 1900s. And I used to have to take my grandmother in town.
Starting point is 00:04:48 I used to look forward to it because I knew she was going to want to go to Wendy's to get some hot fries. Okay. That was her thing. Some hot fries from Wendy's. So for me personally, Wendy's is comfort food. It has a lot of nostalgic and sentimental value to me. And the hot fries from Wendy's seem like they cut the potatoes right in the
Starting point is 00:05:03 back. I mean, just grow them right in the back and then cut them up. Okay. Give me a large hot fries from Wendy's seem like they cut the potatoes right in the back. I mean, just grow them right in the back and then cut them up, okay? Give me a large hot fries from Wendy's, a chili. Mmm. Wait, I took a sip of water. Damn it. Mmm. Mmm.
Starting point is 00:05:14 Mouth-started water. Give me a large hot fries from Wendy's, a chili with a 10-piece spicy chicken nugget meal, and leave me alone, okay? Back in the day before I knew I was lactose intolerant, I used to get the Frosty from Wendy's and dip the fries in it. Am I the only person who used to do that? Huh? No. Yeah, you're the only one. I never did that. Alright. Well, we were discussing fast food restaurants
Starting point is 00:05:34 in here earlier. I don't know if you were in here. I think you were. And we collectively agreed that Wendy's is our number one option. Okay? Wendy's the best out of all of them. Not, well, Chick-fil-A, but Chick-fil-A is number one. Chick-fil-A don't count,fil-A. Chick-fil-A is number one. Chick-fil-A don't count, though. That's fine dining.
Starting point is 00:05:47 That's gourmet. I'm not talking about gourmet. I'm talking about fast food. Are we just talking about french fries? Because McDonald's french fries beats Wendy's french fries. Nah, nah, no. You bugging me. I disagree.
Starting point is 00:05:55 I totally disagree. Not a Nuggets, on the other hand. Wendy's all day. Nuggets, bro. But that's why I'm having this conversation. Okay, we're having this conversation. We're having this conversation about Wendy's being comfort food. I know. Get to the point, Uncle Charlotte.
Starting point is 00:06:06 Well, the moral of the story is chicken nuggets, in particular the spicy chicken nuggets from Wendy's, and the comfort those nuggets provide. I've been telling y'all people are in pain. People are hurting. So much trauma going unchecked. So much trauma folks haven't processed. And people are just seeking happiness.
Starting point is 00:06:24 Some people don't have access to resources like therapy and other methods of healing so they have to find comfort in things like wendy's and if you ask me this is what happened in the case of john earl taylor and all these other people now john is 34 years old and this happened in miami-dade county and he's in jail right now because he's facing charges of armed robbery and carjacking fleeing and eluding police and driving with a suspended license. How did he get all those charges? Because he was hungry. And he robbed a man at gunpoint last week outside of a Wendy's. But he wasn't thinking robbery first. He wanted some food.
Starting point is 00:06:56 So he saw a guy getting out of his car and he asked the dude, hey, could you buy me some chicken nuggets? The victim told John that he only had enough money for himself and proceeded into the Wendy's. I respect that man's answer. That man kept it real and said, look, I don't have enough for nobody but me. If that baby daddy would have told his baby mama that in regards to just buying McDonald's for his own son, we wouldn't have been having this debate all week on whether he was wrong or not. OK, this man didn't have no money, and clearly John wanted that eight-piece spicy nugget because he decided
Starting point is 00:07:27 since he couldn't get the Wendy's, he was gonna rob John. So he pulled out a semi-automatic gun with an extended magazine and robbed the dude of his gold chain and car keys. No report on whether he took the Wendy's or not, and police later found him and the car after they chased him and he wrecked the vehicle.
Starting point is 00:07:44 What does it say about America? That John Taylor don't have money for his own nuggets. Doesn't have financial access to his own combo meal at Wendy's, but he got access to a semi-automatic gun with an extended magazine. Think about that as I move on to Arizona, because the Casa Grande police department are looking for a woman who was apparently so upset that the fries she ordered at Wendy's were cold and the chicken nuggets were not spicy.
Starting point is 00:08:08 And she allegedly assaulted an employee. Let's go to Fox 10 Phoenix for the report, please. Casa Grande police released a surveillance photo of a woman accused of assaulting a fast food worker in the drive-thru. It happened at the Only Wendy's restaurant in Casa Grande. Did you make out what she was mad about? Yeah, she said that she got spicy nuggets instead of normal ones. Come on now.
Starting point is 00:08:28 She was saying they were burnt. Verena Hunt was in the drive-thru line trying to place her order. She could hear the exchange between the suspect and the employee through the intercom, and she started recording it on her phone. Okay, that's fine. I don't know why you're out of your car yelling at me. The lady was just being harassed by by another woman and she was saying oh give me my effing food and it was just like a fighting battle you know like she was calling her name she said i'm gonna throw this at you i'm gonna hit you and that's when you know things got really crazy and i heard
Starting point is 00:08:57 like something being thrown according to police the angry customer threw the bag with the fries and the nuggets at the employee that That lady was definitely overreacting. Like, you know, there's definitely better ways to handle it. You know, it's called temperament control. Like my three-year-old knows this. Woo. She right. But come on, man.
Starting point is 00:09:16 For those of us who seek out Wendy's comfort food, we understand that pain. And when you're already hurting from trauma you haven't dealt with, from healing you haven't gotten, and the only thing that's going to make you happy in that moment, the only thing that's going to comfort you in that moment is some hot fries and spicy nuggets from Wendy's, and they end up giving you cold fries and unspicy nuggets? That could take you over the edge, okay? That's how you know it wasn't what she ordered. She didn't even want it to the point that she threw it at the employees.
Starting point is 00:09:36 But now, police are looking for her. You know, I'm giving both these people don't care today because they're going to jail, and if John doesn't have money for Wendy's, he won't have money for a lawyer and now this poor young lady whatever pain she's dealing with this situation is damn sure gonna make it worse clearly she's stressed out but now she got a charge on top of that having to deal with lawyers bail all that other stuff oh lord now last but certainly not least shamia tillman charged with battery causing bodily harm simple battery battery on a law enforcement officer criminal mischief and robbery by sudden snatching because investigators said she went through the drive-thru of Wendy's but wasn't happy with her order. You know why?
Starting point is 00:10:13 Because she wanted fries and they didn't have fries. Let's go to ABC7 for the report, please. Scratches, bumps, bruises, and a broken iPhone. Employees and customers at this Wendy's last night say Tillman left her mark on them literally, all because she felt shortchanged of french fries. Just before 8 p.m., she ordered food at the drive-thru. Moments later, Tillman entered the Wendy's enraged. Tillman throws a bag of food at the workers. The fight goes on and then she jumps over the counter. Several workers try to get her under control. Tillman ends up on the floor covered in food and spilled
Starting point is 00:10:54 drinks. One man tries to intervene, but Tillman smacks him, grabbing the iPhone Max Pro from his hand, chucking it at an employee's head. Now, the terror didn't stop there. Lee County deputies arrived shortly after and put Tillman in the back of a deputy squad car. She began kicking and screaming, and a deputy tried to come over and calm her down. She spat in his eye. Now, I know two of these stories are Florida, but listen, I understand. Okay, I understand Wendy's is comfort food, all right? I would actually call Wendy's holistic dining at this point, but we can't go around projecting
Starting point is 00:11:28 our pain on Wendy's employees and people who won't buy us Wendy's. Okay. Wendy's is not a substitute for healing people. All right. That Dave's triple of those 20 piece spicy nuggets is comforting as they may be. Isn't an excuse for actual healing. All right. That chili and those large hot fries are not an excuse to not go to therapy.
Starting point is 00:11:45 This is all this is. It's not about no damn Wendy's or lack of hot fries and unspicy nuggets. This is hurt people hurting people. Hurt people seeking comfort and not being able to get the comfort they need. And so they end up bleeding on people who didn't cut them. Just another reason to please, please invest in your mental wealth. Go get some help. I promise you it'll make those spicy nuggets taste better when you've done some work on yourself.
Starting point is 00:12:11 Please give John Taylor from Florida, this unidentified woman from Arizona, and Shamia Tillman of Florida, the sweet sounds of the Hamilton's. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. Yee-haw. Two things. All of this makes me crave some Wendy's, okay?
