You can call me the donkey of the day, but like, I mean no harm.

Donkey of the day for Wednesday, September 21st, goes to all you digital D-heads who are doing the latest TikTok challenge. And that challenge is cooking chicken in NyQuil. Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes I think to myself, Jesus really did have every intention of coming back, but this was before social media, all right? The first greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing the world he didn't exist. But the second greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing the world to follow and play with him every day on social media.

Let's go to CBS 9 for the report, please. A new social media challenge is encouraging young people to marinate their chicken in NyQuil and other cough products. So here you go. The FDA has to remind us that it's not a good idea. And this one is dangerous, even if you don't even eat the chicken. That's because the FDA says boiling medication can change its properties, making it more concentrated. So just breathing it alone can let high levels of that drug into your body, damaging your lungs.

I know Jesus questions why he died for y'all often. I know, I just know he does. White people, white people, white people, I apologize for all the times we've clowned y'all for not being able to season your food. I take back every unseasoned chicken joke. If this is what the trauma of not being able to taste your food has led to, I sincerely apologize.

All right. The fact that the FDA, the whole FDA, the FDA, the Food and Drug Administration has to warn humans, humans not to cook their food with NyQuil is mind boggling. Why would you want your chicken to relieve common cold and flu symptoms? And even if it wasn't NyQuil, NyQuil don't have no good flavors for marinating sauce. Vanilla cherry swirl on chicken? Cherry on chicken? And damn sure not that original flavor. Listen, man, when you succumb to peer pressure, nobody is actually pressuring you to do anything. You just want to be accepted.

It is what it is. Nobody actually makes you do anything. You make the choice to do things because you're seeking validation from whoever is asking you to do something, which is why I don't understand for the life of me why y'all seek viral validation from a bunch of digital D-heads on social media. You don't even know. Okay, remember when adults in our life used to say, so what? If everybody jumps off a bridge, you're going to do it too? Well, in this social media era, yes, people will, especially if it's the TikTok challenges, okay? Challenges like this only target the youth because youngins are the only ones who are easily influenced by challenges like this. I would hope so.

And the FDA is warning that someone could take a dangerously high amount of the cough and cold medicine without even realizing it might hurt your lungs because the medications vapors while cooking could cause high levels of the drugs to enter your body. People, I promise you, man, the Internet is not sustainable. It is a phenomenal advancement in technology. Absolutely, it is. OK. Causing humans brains to advance. Absolutely. Damn, no.

Okay, I read a quote once, and the quote was, the difference between technology and slavery is that slaves are fully aware that they are not free. We have no idea that we are prisoners to the algorithm. We really think we're in control, but look no further than the NyQuil Chicken Challenge to know that we are indeed not. Please give everybody participating in the NyQuil Chicken Challenge the sweet sounds of the Hamilton's. You are indeed not. Please give everybody participating in the NyQuil Chicken Challenge the sweet sounds of the Hamilton's. You are the donkey of the day.

You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. Oh, I forgot we actually got audio from the actual TikTok. Let's hear the talk, Tik. My wife got sick last night, so I'm cooking up some NyQuil chicken. I've done this in the past, and usually I use about, you know, four-thirds of the bottle. And if it's your first time doing this, you can get away with using about a fifth. Season that NyQuil in there just at the right temperature.

You don't want to let it sit there and sizzle for about you know five to thirty minutes make sure you're constantly flipping over the chicken you don't want to give one side more attention than the other oh sometimes this steam really makes you sleepy what you're looking for is that blue color right there all right and you can go ahead and turn it off. Ooh, yeah, that steam, baby. Drain the unused right back into the NyQuil can just like so. And boom, NyQuil chicken, bone apple tea. Sound like breaking bad. Sounds disgusting.

Why not just give your wife the NyQuil after you cook for her? If she's not feeling well, the comfort of you cooking for your wife will make her feel better, and then why not give rid of NyQuil before bed? Who told you to combine two? Also, I need to give myself donkey today because is this a real challenge or is this just one digital D-head on social media attempting to get attention

and he got it because I didn't see a bunch of videos of this. I just think it's one digital D-head. I only seen one. And then he poured the NyQuil back into the bottle like how our parents used to save the grease back in the day. Like, ugh. Disgusting, bro. All right.

Mm-mm. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today, sir. I wouldn't say God bless him, but really, God bless us all. All right. Because it's all downhill from here, people. Donkey of the Day is brought to you by the law office of Michael S. Lamisoff. Don't be a donkey.
