Listen to Crooks everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. some donkey today's just saw themselves i've been watching charlotte man what's ready for you i never heard of donkey other day what is it say it again charlotte man i'm a donkey yes you are a donkey everything that charlotte man is saying is true donkey today for tuesday january 30th goes to a chicago man named muhammad work who i think i

pronounced his name right so it's everybody in chicago now this is a very interesting story to me because a motto that i live by is something my grandmother and mother always told me and that is manners will take you where money won't i believe that wholeheartedly i think that it costs nothing to be kind. And people will always remember how you made them feel. Okay. People will forget things you did. They will forget things you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel.

Remember that. Okay. When I tell you this story, I tell all the youngins around me, all my nieces and nephews, when you're working with people, what you want to be said about you when you leave them is that you are a pleasure to work with because once again manners will take you where money won't that's right bad manners close open doors good manners will make you matter in life your manners open doors that you know your beauty can open and and buy you things your money can okay and this brother muhammad work who clearly believes

the same see muhammad is a bank robber, ladies and gentlemen. Yes, I can confidently call him a bank robber because he robbed two banks. OK, once is a coincidence. Twice is a pattern. And he did it twice. But he didn't just do it. See, he walked into one bank with a note that said, pay it back soon. And then less than 72 hours after he was acquitted of and this was less than 72 hours after he was acquitted of committing a similar bank robbery.

OK, gather around. Let me tell you the story. See, two years ago, Muhammad work who walked into a local bank and pressed a note against the glass that read, give me the money, please. Thank you. And he left with five hundred and ninety five dollars. He was found about a half hour later with about a hundred dollars less and the note that said give me the money please thank you still in his possession okay but let me tell you why our court system is flawed because in court work whose attorney argued that even though he committed a crime it did not amount to robbery because she said robbery involves stealing something by force or intimidation so his attorney mary judge claimed there was no implicit or explicit threats of any kind. Who knew you could go into a bank?

Just be nice. Just be polite and ask for what you want and you shall receive it. Well, look at this. If you have ever been refused credit or a loan, all you had to do was be nice. If you got a history of mispayments or possible fraudulent activity on your life, don't worry about it. You can still get a loan. Just smile and and say give me all the money please okay by the way a jury agreed with his lawyer in work who who's 31 years old was released from custody this past friday so on

monday afternoon armed with his new knowledge of the judicial system empowered by the fact that he didn't do anything wrong because he was nice about it. He then walked into another bank and handed an employee a note that said, please give me the money. I'll pay it back soon. Bankers gift. Yes. G.I.F.E. I don't know if he was trying to spell give a gift, but he said bankers gift G.I.F.E. I don't know what he meant. Was it gift to give? Anyway, bankers gift me uh in advance well it worked again and the bank teller gave work who more than two thousand dollars and allowed him to walk out before calling the police first of all drop on the clues bomb for that bank teller i'm so glad you didn't try to be a hero because that bank ain't dying for you okay chase is simply the name of a bank

it is not an action you should do when someone robs one okay just let them walk away now let me continue to explain this story the teller described work who is wearing a surgical mask neon green gloves and a neon green winter cap investigators later found surveillance footage of a man wearing guess what the green hat the gloves and buying clothing in a backpack at a nearby target store so they arrested him just about half an hour after the alleged robbery with $200 less than what he had been given at the bank. Okay, you know how I know Muhammad doesn't think he's committing any crimes because in both cases, he didn't try to get rid of any evidence. Still wearing the clothes he committed the crime in,

still holding on to the note that he used to commit the crime, and now he is set to be charged with both bank robbery and bank theft, which do not require force or intimidation his lawyer who got him off initially married judge says that this is a more appropriate charging decision in fact she said because of the jury's not guilty verdict i believe the government is now charging both bank robbery and bank theft in a case where there is not evidence of force or threat of force um i think they have to throw the book at the man simply because you have to make an example are you going to have a generation of polite well-mannered crooks right thinking they can get away with crimes simply by saying

please and thank you and that's not how any of this works because here's the thing people judge others on how they act not what they say folks can say anything remember what i said earlier people will forget you know uh what you said okay but they won't forget how you made them feel you have to follow that up with actions if you have manners and you say please and thank you but then do something foul that's not good manners okay having good manners being polite helpful and respectful the others shows you have self-respect. But robbing someone after you say please and thank you shows you do not. Please give Muhammad Warku the sweet sounds of the Hamiltons. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day.

You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. Yee-haw. It's kind of like when folks say no disrespect, but I think instead of saying no disrespect, you should just be like, please, may I disrespect you? Please? May I please disrespect you? I'll apologize for it later.

No. That's what it feels like all right well thank you for that donkey today yes all right now when we come back let's open up the phone lines 800-585-1051 shout out to michael blackson comedian you know friend to the room uh he put a question out yesterday he says is it appropriate for your homie to ask your girlfriend how she is doing? All right. 800-585-1051. What context?

Does it matter? Yeah. If me and my significant other are together and my homeboy walks up and he gives me a pound. And he says, what's up, man? And he turns to my wife and says, yo, how are you? No. That's fine. I think he meant on the phone.

I said, what context? Checking up on her. So that's like your homie reaching out to your girl, your wife, and saying, hey, how you doing? That is the context. Without you involved. Why is he doing that? Is she sick? Was there a car accident?

Did she just have a baby? What is the reason she's doing that? Because that can happen on social media, right? If you know, like, if you see your homie's significant other on social media and you know something happened, and you send a DM like, yo, you good? Or you see her post something in the story and you reply back, oh, you doing better? How you feeling? I'm saying context matters.

It needs to know more context. Yeah, it does. 800-585-1051. Because, you know, the first thing you think is like, hell no, my homie shouldn't be reaching out to nobody. That's because y'all insecure. You just jumped the insecurity. But when you think about it, like you said, if somebody gets into a car crash, you'd be like, hey, just checking up on you. You're okay.

Or if somebody just had a baby, hey, congratulations. If I saw you, if I see my homeboy's girl out and about, I'm not going to say, oh, what's up? How are you? Right. What? Come on, man. I need more context. Well, let's discuss.

He didn't give no context? He didn't give no context. That's all he man. I need more context. Well, let's discuss. He didn't give no context? He didn't give no context. That's all he said. That was his context. That's all he said. Okay. That's all he said. But let's have this conversation.

800-585-1051. That's all he said. Is it cool for your homie to hit you up, hit up your girl, and ask her how she's doing? Hit her up, I would assume, on the phone. But let's discuss. 800-585-1051. Would you have a problem with it? It's The Breakfast Club.
