Your execution on the donkey of the day is something to behold. Is it a read? He gave me donkey of the day and I deserve it. People need to know. Well, you need to tell them. I am. You have the voice. Tell them.

It's time for donkey of the day. It's a read, but you're so good at it. You gotta be a fake ass Charlemagne. You're the only one Charlemagne to go. Damn Charlemagne, who you give the donkey of the day to? Well, Sexy Red. Donkey of the day for Tuesday, May 7th, goes to a Catholic priest named Lawrence Kozak. Lawrence is accused of stealing booty from a church in Pennsylvania.

Now, let the record show, when I say this Catholic priest stole booty, I'm not talking about little kids. I'm talking money. Yes, this man stole more than $40,000 in expenses over three years and some of the money was used to buy cell phone games cell phone video games you know i'm a stern believer that it's not a stereotype if it's true and this story is not going to do anything to defy the stereotype that catholic priests are pedophiles and child abusers especially when we dive more into why this particular catholic priest was stealing money let's go to WRAL for the report, please. A Pennsylvania Catholic priest is accused of stealing parish funds to play games like Candy Crush.

Lawrence Kozak is charged with theft and related crimes. Authorities say he racked up tens of thousands of dollars in expenses over three years and used some of that cash to play cell phone games like Pokemon Go. The Archdiocese has placed Kozak on administrative leave. These poor people, man. They come to the Catholic Church, you know, giving tithes and offerings. Giving tithes and offerings. Tithing tithes and offerings, okay?

Giving their 10% to the Lord. And here go the pastor stealing money because he wants to play Wizard of Oz slots and Candy Crush Saga and Cash Fren slots and candy crush saga and cash frenzy and mario kart or in pokemon go i hate to be you know uh the one to break the news to you but this man this man might have been buying apps fast man okay there's just no way that a catholic priest steals 40 000 from the church and a large part of it is going to these apps that are largely aimed at kids now i'm not one of these people who buys into every stereotype i know that there's a lot of prejudice against the catholic church because there are some people who believe that catholic priests everywhere are pedophiles and child abusers

we know that this is not the case every catholic priest is not the same so if i say what's the difference between woody from toy story and a priest and someone replies only one of them goes limp when a child walks in walks in the room that does not apply to all priests okay do you understand but it could apply to lawrence kozak i don't want to get distracted though this man used the church's money that he stole over forty thousand dollars on apps the thing that bothers me the most about this is that you are taking advantage of people's need to believe taking advantage of a person's you know need to believe that's also a form of abuse all right these people are sowing a seed they are

showing gratitude for all that god has given they want to return to god a portion of what they have received and a lot of people do this hoping that they will also come back to them because they need it people say when you tithe it brings closer to God. So you taking advantage of people's need to believe they're hard-earned money that they could be spending on food, medical bills, housing, child care. But you taking these folks, you know, money so you can buy Candy Crush and Pokemon Go? Pokemon Go? I think you got all these apps because you wanted to poke a kid. But I don't want to reinforce stereotypes because all Catholic priests should not be judged by the bad actions of a few. Like if I ask what's the difference between acne and a Catholic priest, if someone responds to all Catholic priests, that just wouldn't be right. Now, let's just say Lawrence wasn't reinforcing negative stereotypes of Catholic priests.

And he was one of the many people who are addicted to these cell phone apps I truly believe game purchases it's an epidemic as big as crack or opioids they get you hooked by giving you something free but the catch is they make you wait like every hour to refresh but then they'll offer you a quicker way to get whatever you know whatever you need replenished you just gotta pay monopoly go gives you 10 dice every hour, or you can get 100 dice for $9.99. Which one are you going to ultimately choose if you want to play Monopoly Go? It's kind of like, man, remember back in the day? And it still might happen now.

Like when the new iPhone comes out, and then they ask you if you want an update on your old phone, and then when you update it, it don't quite work the same. That just happened to me. See what I'm saying? My long clock will not work now. You what i'm saying so now you forced to go buy a new phone yeah that's how they get you speaking of getting you i just really want people to understand that i am not on this radio saying all catholic priests abuse kids i'm just saying it's suspicious that this guy was using the church's money to have all these apps for kids

on his phone if i ask kendrick lamar why do catholic priests like playing the violin and kendrick replies because they get to finger a minor that a minor that has nothing to do with all catholic priests okay now father kozals was arrested on april 25th and faces felony theft charges and he earned that father kozak have you ever wondered why catholic priests called themselves father because it's too suspicious for kids to call them daddy but that has nothing to do with all of them just some please let remy ma give laurence kozak the biggest hee-haw hee-haw hee-haw you You stupid mother... Are you dumb? Well.

That's it. It's just a parade. It's like, I don't know. Okay. I don't know what the word is like. Charlemagne or the priest. I didn't do anything. I was just telling a story. No, I'm not.

I'm talking about a reference to the keys. I'm talking about the way that you just slaughtered a lot of other priestesses. No, priestesses. I said some. Is priestesses a word? Some. I used to call priestesses.

I didn't say all. I said some. I know the last little bit I'm going to listen to this is going to be like, oh, uh-uh. Well, if it don't apply,

let it fly. Okay. Okay? Yes, sir. If it don't fit, you must fly. All right. Okay? Yes, sir. If it don't fit, you must have quit. Huh? All right. Thank you for that donkey today.
