I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records. Executive produced by Questlove, The Story Pirates, and John Glickman, Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop. 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. And it began with me.

Did you know, did you know? I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was called a moment. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records. Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise. Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,

or wherever you get your podcasts. Say it again, Charlamagne. I'm a donkey. Yes, you are a donkey. So I'll show you how to act a donkey. Everything that Charlamagne is saying is true. Yes, donkey of the day for Wednesday, June 5th goes to Pat McAfee. This is

a very teachable moment, my brothers. Okay, this is very teachable, especially for all you men who just started watching the WNBA. I understand that the WNBA is now in our sports rotation, okay, and we are discussing the WNBA the same way we are discussing the NBA and the NFL, boxing.

I don't discuss baseball because I don't like baseball, but plenty of people do. I'm just not one of them, okay? I liked baseball in the 90s when everybody was on steroids. Yes, I like my baseball players roided up, but that's a story for another day. Now, on Monday, Pat McAfee was on his show, The Pat McAfee Show,

and he was speaking to the impact of Kaitlyn Clark, and he was discussing the WNBA's rookie class this year. And he said, and I quote, just call it for what it is. There's one white bitch for the Indiana team who is a superstar. Let's listen. What the WNBA currently has is what we like to describe as a cash cow. There is a superstar. And we're not saying that the players on the

court need to act any differently. That's the athletes are going to do what athletes are going to do in any sport. I think we're all learning that WNBA that's old school football baby. That is old school football. But I would like the media people that continue to say this rookie class

this rookie class, this rookie class. Nah. Just call it for what it is. There's one white bitch for the Indiana team who is a superstar. Jesus. Yeah, that noun, the B word, man, it's something serious, ain't it? It's a tricky one, but not really. Okay?

Pat and all men listening, the word bitch is very simple when you are using it in regards to women. It's one rule that you all must remember when it comes to using the B word in regards to women. Are you ready to know what that rule is? Are you ready? The number one and only rule when it comes to using the word bitch in regards to women is don't. Don't. Okay. Do you need a Bryson Tiller 11-second pause after that?

If so, I'll give you a little bit. Give it some time to sink in. Okay. There is no right way to use that word to women, okay? It is a noun that means a malicious, spiteful, or overbearing woman or something that is extremely difficult, objectionable, or unpleasant. There is no way as a man to use that word towards women and not sound like Pat McCarthy. The B word is a lot like the N word in the fact that the only people who can use it is women who choose to use it to other women, okay? Pat is a white man. I enjoy watching his

show, but he is a blueprint for whiteness. I mean, he is capital riot white. He is tuck his basketball jersey and a pair of Wrangler Wrangler jeans white. And even though he passes all the white vibe checks, when he says white bitch, the white sounds racist and the bitch sounds sexist. OK, it's like me when I say the N-word. I don't say the N-word is a term of endearment. When I say I don't like N-words, I mean it the way white supremacists mean it, okay? I need you to know the difference between black people, ratchets, and niggers. And this is what's going to continue to be a problem if we don't nip it in the bud now. And, man, we don't have to say that word in regards to the WNBA. We already say it enough with the NBA.

Whenever we see LeBron James, James Harden, or Chris Paul flopping, what do we say? There they go acting like bitches. When we heard the rumors that KD wasn't happy with the Suns' offense, I don't even know if it was true. But immediately, group chats all over America, KD acting like a bitch again. And it is perfectly acceptable for a man to call another man the B word.

You just have to deal with the consequences of that remark if you ever run into that man you man the B word. You just have to deal with the consequences of that remark. If you ever run into that man, you call it the B word. Okay. Now, Pat McAfee did apologize. Let's listen to the apology. After about 15 minutes of doing a new game show called Guess Which WNBA Rookie here on this particular program, I utilized the words white bitch to describe Caitlin Clark as being the superstar in Indiana. Now, when I was saying it, I legitimately meant it in a complimentary fashion. Like this is this is the one, you know, as I said, it didn't even think honestly had no idea what was happening on the Internet till two and a half hours later after the show ended that I realized and I started reading through a lot of comments are being said and I felt like actually the worst human on earth for a good portion of my travels yesterday

those were not my intentions but that's how you took it that's on me I do apologize I believe him I I know he meant it in a complimentary way but there is no way for a man to use that word in a complimentary way to a woman. It just won't sound right. Now, according to Pat McAfee, he reached out to Clark in the Indiana fever as soon as he realized the Internet was on his ass. And they replied back, according to him, from Caitlyn, that it's all good. Three words. It's all good.

It would have been hilarious if the three words Caitlyn responded with instead of it's all good was suck my... Okay? All right. Listen, we all are enjoying the WNBA. I have been enjoying women's basketball for a long time now since Asia Wilson decided to stay at home and play for my South Carolina Gamecocks back in 2014. Drop on the clues bar for the South Carolina Gamecocks. Okay. You know the best women's college basketball program in the country is right there in Columbia, South Carolina.

The 803, all right? Led by the legendary icon living Don Staley. Yes, three national championships and counting. And Aja Wilson is by far the face of the WNBA and the best player in the WNBA. So I've been all in on women's basketball since then. And not once have I thought, damn, those bitches can hoop. Why? Because I don't practice bad habits.

And I would encourage all men out there to stop practicing bad habits too. But it starts in your everyday life. If you cut the B word out of your everyday life, then it won't so easily show up in your professional life. Okay? The B word, like the N word, is a nuclear weapon. When you drop those words, oh, when you drop those words,

just know it's for mutually assured destruction. When I let them fly, we all going to die. Because depending on who you talking to, you might get killed. Pat Lucky, he not dead right now. And I don't even mean literally. If he wasn't a contractor who produces his show for ESPN,

I'm not sure he has a job right now. Okay? Stephen A wouldn't. I don't believe. Shannon Sharp wouldn't. I don't believe. Hell, I don't think Monica McNutt or Elle Duncan, both women, would have a job either if they referred to Caitlin Clark or any white woman, you know,

as a white bitch on ESPN. Sponsors would be pulling out. People would be writing petitions, all types of stuff. But the moral of the story is, when it comes to calling women of any color the B word, don't! Don't!

Wait for 11 seconds. Oh, God. I'm doing my 11 seconds. You gonna get 11 Wait for 11 seconds Oh god I'm doing my 11 second Oh my god Now I gotta wait Another 11 seconds

No no no No you don't No no no No you don't What What Please give Pat McAfee The sweet sounds

Of the Hamilton Oh now you are The donkey Of the day you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. Now, Jess, this man doesn't practice what he preaches. He doesn't at all.

That's why I don't take him seriously. Watch Envy contradict himself. Why I don't practice what I preach Because you call me a beige bitch I specifically said men can refer to other men as bitches You beige bitch And that's why I be calling you that You just gave a perfect example of why I be calling you that

You don't know what I identify as sir Take that Take that You beige they And guess what And guess what They's is bitches too You stupid

You stupid But in Baltimore Yo I mean That's just how it is Cause man And Angel From then We know man

That little bitch can't hoop. You know what I mean? Like, that's not, I mean, but they're not on ESPN. Yeah, that's right. But, like, that's all of them will be in jail. Yeah, all right.

And she would probably depth somebody up. That's just how it is. Like, yeah, that's how it is. Hey, yo, J. Hill, don't you do that next time you're on that podcast with Wano. Don't listen to Jess. You leave that Baltimore right at home. Leave that Baltimore in Baltimore. I don't want to hear you on that podcast with Waino
