thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeart Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey y'all. Niminy here. I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called historical records.

Executive produced by quest love the story pirates and John Glickman historical records brings history to life through hip-hop. Flash, slam, another one gone. Bash, bam, another one gone. The crack of the bat and another one gone. The tip of the cap, there's another one gone. 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 Claudette Colvin. 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. This is America. There is no question that there are problems in this country between police and community. Yes, you are a donkey. The latest on that police killing of a black man. Now to new developments in the deadly spa shooting rampage. And yesterday was a really bad day for him, and this is what he did.

And so we are in a state of emergency. Okay, white supremacist violence is and always has been the number one threat to our society. But I'm also very proud that my wife is white. It's a breakfast club, bitches. All right, Charlene, please tell me, why was I your donkey of the day? First of all, I want to just drop on a clue

to Draymond Green this morning. Okay, say a prayer for all our canary, yellow-colored comrades this morning. Okay, it's a rough time for y'all. Shut up. Don't get a day for Wednesday, November 15th. Go to Teamsters President Sean O'Brien. Now, yesterday, there was a hearing of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee,

and folks wanted to smoke. Oh, they was knocking and bucking and ready to fight. See, Sean O'Brien had been thumb-thugging broadband banging, cyber crippling Senator Mark Wayne Mullen of Oklahoma. Let me read you some of the tweets Sean O'Brien sent to Senator Mark Wayne Mullen. He said, you should get your facts straight because every time you speak in these hearings, you're full of sandwiches. That's a BET edit. You ever watch BET and they be editing curse words? They don't care what folks say in the edit.

They be like, man, suck my carburetoruretor kiss my credit card I'll beat your American Express all BET edits what I'm trying to say is the more you run your mouth the more you show the American public what a moron you are that was actual tweet that's what he said okay Sean O'Brien said that uh the Senator Mullen he said the more you show the American public the more you run your mouth the more you show the American public what a moron you are. A few days after that, Sean O'Brien tweeted Senator Mullen and said, in reality, you just a clown and fraud. Always has been, always will be. Quit the tough guy acting these Senate hearings. You know where to find me any place, any time, cowboy. Now, Mullen replied back on Twitter. An attention seeking union teams, the boss is trying to be punchy after our Senate hearing.

OK, I accept your challenge. MMA fight for charity of our choice. September 30th in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I'll give you three days to accept. Well, the difference between Senator Mullen and Sean O'Brien is unlike 99% of social media, they fall into the 1% of people who actually have to run into each other. Okay. And that's exactly what happened in this hearing. So you got to watch your mouth. Sometimes you got to put respect on your job because you don't know who you talking to or what they about. Senator Mullen is an ex MMA fighter. So when you challenge an ex MMA fighter to a fight or act tough they have no problem turning whatever room y'all are in into an octagon can we hear what happened in this senate meeting

please so y'all can see why sean o'brien is getting the biggest hee-haw sir this is a time this is a place if you want to run your mouth we can be two consenting adults we can finish it here okay that's fine perfect you want to do it now i'd love to do it right now. Well, stand your butt up then. You stand your butt up. Oh, hold on. Oh, stop it. Is that your solution? No, no, sit down. You're a United States senator. Can I respond? No, you can't.

This is a hearing. God knows the American people have enough contempt for Congress. I don't like thugs and bullies. I don't like you because you bullies. I don't like you because you just described yourself. Hold it. Don't tell me to grow up.

Don't tell me to grow up after you spent days on social media taunting me, acting like you wanted to fight. Then when I see you and ask you what's happening, now you want to duck the fade and tell me to grow up.

No, I asked you if you want to do it. You told me you wanted to no i asked you if you want to do it you told me you wanted to do it i told you stand your butt up you told me stand my butt up well bottoms up then okay bottoms up all right i want to fight you told me grow up because you remembered in that moment wait a minute wait a minute this man is a mixed martial artist. See, your senses kicked in. Right. So you forgot who I was because you're so focused on who I am now. You thought you could just pump me and talk to me crazy on social media because I'm a senator. And you think because I'm a senator, I won't beat your mother hugging accelerator.

That was another BET at it. Listen, man. OK, I love this because at the end of the day, are humans just like us and this whole notion of a perfect politician and they have to do everything right that's not real okay that went out the window with trump so i like to see them being human and wanting to put hands on someone who's been talking crazy to them on social media and sean o'brien is just like most people on social media they have so much to say but when they confront it they fold and hope someone intervenes oh you were so happy bernie sanders was there okay i need to grow up but you the one who was talking filthy to me on on x like i can't put you in a cripple across face and make you tap out okay i also don't have any problem with folks settling their

differences with fists in a controlled environment. Sometimes that's all it takes. Let me get a 30 second squabble cuz. Alright, that's it. Because nowadays we live in this era where people spend so much time trying to assassinate your character online. What did the great black philosopher T.I. once say on What's Up, What's Happening? How about we stay up all night on the blog sites, spread vicious lies nasty rumors we could all right yes all right we could just fight don't tell me fighting is immature when we pay to watch grown men do it for a living if it's sanctioned in a controlled environment okay i personally believe if we you know have more sanctioned controlled environment squabbles for

adults it would stop a lot of bs i personally believe if we start treating life like hockey where we let adults settle their differences with some hands i personally believe a lot would change folks would watch their mouth i really really really really truly believe that please give teams to president sean o'brien the sweet donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. You shouldn't respect any thumb thugs. Okay, if you so tough, I want to see it. And if and when we see each other and you don't keep that same energy,

you can't speak on me ever again that should be the rules but there are no more rules clearly all right well thank you for that donkey today sir shout out to bet peace bet we'll see y'all tomorrow everybody else let's open up the phone lines now obviously it seemed like he realized the senator was an mma fighter before it clicked in clicked in it clicked in something clicked something clicked he was like whoa whoa wait a minute he didn't want that smoke he figured it out immediately like nah that's not the smoke i want and he didn't think the senator would challenge him right then right there on the

floor in a hearing correct he wasn't expecting that no no no was it he was like you know what as long as we in this hearing and you know we we we hear that. No, no, no. He wasn't. He was like, you know what? As long as we're in this hearing and we hear, nothing can go down. No, no, no. What's up? Let's do it right now. What's up? I'd love to do it right now. Well, stand your butt up then.

You stand your butt up. Bottoms up. Bottoms up. Bottoms up. Let's open up the phone lines. Let's be honest this morning. 800-585-1051. Have you ever had to duck a fade?

Maybe you knew you were outnumbered, outsized. Outnumbered, outsized. That's not ducking a fade. If you're outnumbered, that's not to duck a fade maybe you knew you were outnumbered outside outnumbered outsized well that's not ducking a fade if you outnumbered that's not ducking a fade that's just being smart okay i've done that i've skedaddled okay you see y'all y'all seen the camera i've skedaddled i mean that that was smart but i mean sometimes ducking a fade is smart no duck ducking a fade is when one person you're talking tough to one person and now that one person has approached you, and now you humming and humming and humming and humming and humming, and your whole life sounds like B.E.T. You ever duck and fade?

No. I should have, because he'd beat my ass. Boy, he'd beat my ass. Which one was that? I wrote about it in my book. Which one? Was that your neighbor? No, that wasn't my neighbor. If you ever read Black Privilege, the first
