You can call me the donkey of the day, but like, I mean no harm.
Starting point is 00:02:46 Yes, Donkey of the Day for Monday, March 3rd goes to a man named Brian Steiner. Brian is from Pennsylvania and he's a freaky-ass human 2020 vision god. What do you mean he's a 2020 vision god, Uncle Charlo? Well, apparently times are very hard in the slums of Delaware County, Pennsylvania because this man, Brian Steiner, was offering free glasses in exchange for sexual acts. Yes, glasses, face readers, eyespires, magnifying marvels. Okay. Vision vanquishers.
Starting point is 00:03:14 This man was bartering optical for oral. I can't make this kind of stuff up. Let's go to six ABC news for the report, please. A Delaware County optician faces some serious charges. Police say he offered customers free eyeglasses in exchange for sex. Investigators say that 40-year-old Brian Steiner, who worked at Philly Vision Care in Fulcroft,
Starting point is 00:03:32 solicited sex from his customers. They say in return, he would give out free glasses and waive charges and copays. Steiner admitted to police he had received or performed sexual acts inside the business at least 30 different times. He wants asses for glasses? Now I was born in 1978,
Starting point is 00:03:49 so I've heard of a lot of discounts in my day. Buy one, get one free, percentage sales, early payment discounts, seasonal discounts, referral discounts, but what I've never heard of is to bust it open for some bifocals discount. You wanna get freaky for some frames? Brian, you're supposed to have a vision care plan, not a perverted rewards program.
Starting point is 00:04:09 This is predatory on so many levels because you have to know who this will work on. You have to know that there are people who can't afford glasses. And the fact that you are preying on the financially challenged amongst us is what really makes me wanna see you buried under the jail. We are in an era where we should be attempting to help people if they aren't in the best
Starting point is 00:04:28 position financially. But no, you out here taking advantage of people and the irony of this situation is you work in an eyeglass store. Your whole job is helping people see clearly but you couldn't even see that this wouldn't end well. Do you know how financially desperate you have to be to want to give up sex for specs? And for Brian to know these people were desperate and take advantage of that desperation? I don't even believe in heaven or hell but damn it if there is a hell please give this
Starting point is 00:04:57 guy the hottest seat in the house. I have a rule and my rule is never trust people who will take advantage of others for their own benefit, especially when the person actually could use your kindness. Proverbs chapter 22, verses 22 and 23 says, don't take advantage of the poor just because you can. I repeat, don't take advantage of the poor just because you can. Self-explanatory, okay? If you believe in hell, Brian, you go into it, okay? And I'm going to tell you the
Starting point is 00:05:30 sickest part of this story. After the patients agreed to do the sexual favors for the glasses, when he would give these visually impaired people the glasses, he would play this song World right that's how I feel Please let me mark your Bryan Steiner the biggest he huh You stupid mother fucker are you dumb you crazy sick that song with that story is crazy That's what happened. I know but it's just insane. I didn't make that's what happened I didn't make that up reading this news what Mac why is Mac in here man why did you walk in this and none of them I was back there talking to Eddie and I was just like could you imagine one eye up and they read the first line Like how did this? This is crazy.
Starting point is 00:06:45 Y'all need to stop. Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm. All right, well, thank you for that donkey today. Yes, indeed. All right, now. Can you imagine the people that couldn't still see after they got the glasses didn't know what was going on? Mm, mm-mm, mm-mm, mm.
Starting point is 00:06:57 Mm. Thank you again for the donkey of the day. Let's reset, guys. Come on, come on. Woosah, woosah, woosah. I'm fine. That is so disgusting. These immature people in here.
