I ain't trying to be Donkey of the Day no more.

They should be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm not making these people do these things. They called Donkey of the Day, and it really caught me off guard. Damn, Charlamagne. Who got the Donkey of the Day today? Well, Jess Hilarious, Donkey ofia today for Monday, June 26th. Sleuth all the cancers out there. Drop on the clues bombs for all the cancers. My born day is in three days, man.

But yes, Donkia today is going to Ocean Gate Expeditions. You know who Ocean Gate Expeditions are by now, right? They are the company behind the Titanic Expedition. You know, the expedition where you can get in the submersible and go down and see the wreckage of the Titanic, which, by the way, I don't care how much money money i got i don't need those kind of thrills okay i'm good i can see the wreckage of the titanic on google earth all right i'm also not the kind of person that wants to stop and watch car wrecks all right you know you see an accident on the side of the road and everybody stops and watches they driving by that's not me okay i'm lying we all stop to

watch car accidents okay but the difference is they are free viewing and i'm passing by it because of a matter of circumstance not paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to get in the submersible and dive to the bottom of the ocean to see it now we should all know by now that the five tourists uh all died in the titan bound for the titanic wreckage site rest in peace to those individuals but do you know while this search and rescue mission was happening ocean gate expeditions listed a job posting for a submersible pilot on its website i said as this search and rescue mission was happening ocean gate expeditions listed a job posting for a submersible pilot on his website you can't make this kind of stuff up they posted an ad that said in search of a submersible pilot marine technician who can help manage and operate

our fleet of manned submersibles and support vessels we are looking for committed and competent individuals with a combination of strong mechanical and interpersonal skills who can work on sensitive marine equipment perform regular maintenance and operate complex systems to support dive operations um ocean gate expeditions you forgot one very important requirement for this job somewhere in between looking for committed and competent individuals and strong mechanical interpersonal skills you gotta slip in must be willing to die all right see a lot of folks complain about being worked to death. Ocean Gate Expeditions wants you to actually work to die.

And the irony is this is the perfect example of why we should never work ourselves to death at our jobs, because they will replace you before they can close your casket. In this case, they already assumed these folks was dead. They knew they hadn't even been found yet. And they already had ads ready to go for the job they posted a job listing for a job that is about to be vacant because someone is about to lose their life insensitive is an understatement that's like sitting at your partner's deathbed well and planning a date on tinder at the same time okay and i'm not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary no i'm not the strongest aven, but after what happened, I highly doubt that anybody is going to be jumping at this job opportunity. The idea of working at Ocean Gate Expeditions,

being a pilot on this submersible, that's dead in the water, okay? Literally and figuratively. Those five bodies, those five souls that are no longer with us should be enough to shut the whole program down. It's over. Not only will nobody want to work there, okay? be nothing to work at all right who is gonna continue to go on these expeditions after this let me tell you something man if you this rich to where you are still willing to take this chance then those rich folks know something about the afterlife or reincarnation that we don't know because ain't no way okay what type of pay what type of benefits would make me want to be a submersible pilot slash marine technician after what we just

witnessed and let's be honest do you really think you have the experience do you really believe you have what it takes what are the job requirements for this job right now number one you probably got to be white because don't nobody take risk and thrill seek like white people you have to be into white adventures okay white boying is a real thing and And y'all, and yes, I'm generalizing y'all. The only people I can see still taking this kind of risk. So we've established the main job requirements. You got to be white. All right. So the next one would probably be, you have to have three to five years work experience as Aquaman. Okay. If you've got some experiences in Namor, we'll take that too, because being able to breathe underwater clearly is a requirement for this job.

All right. And you must have amazing people skills. Well, not actually people skills, maybe fish and crabs. OK, because you got to have a great relationship with Nemo and Ariel and Sebastian, because that's what you're going to be down there talking to. OK, I'm just trying to figure out how did a survivor search turn into a job search? And do you know they put I'm not making this up they put must have a valid driver's license oh shut up as one of the requirements i am not making this up this is all actual and factual i just got back okay my brain ain't even working enough to make up stuff like this they said you have to have a valid driver's license in order to have this job. I need a valid driver's license to ultimately implode in a submersible. Please let Remy Ma give Ocean Gate Expeditions the biggest hee haw.

Hee haw, hee haw. You stupid mother f***er. You dumb. I'm also starting to realize that having a valid driver's license is just the default for everything in this country. What you mean? You got to have a valid driver's license for everything. Even for things you don't need to have a driver's license for.

What do I need a valid driver's license for to be a pilot of a submersible? Yeah, that's stupid. That makes no logical sense. Come on. That is stupid. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day.

B.E.T. We'll see you guys tomorrow. Peace. Peace, B.E.T. Everybody else, let's open up the phone lines. Decent job last night at the awards too, BET. Just want to say that. But I saw not one Breakfast Club promo or commercial

during the awards show. Just want to throw that out there as well. I just figured they would have one. I didn't see one. The only live show on. Don't try to rush the credits now and turn us off to put on a Tyler Perry show either bt i know what y'all doing right now okay all right well let's open up the phone lines 800-585-1051 so at the bt awards last night jt and little uzi got into a uh seems like they got into an

argument she allegedly threw her phone at him and she ran out of the air and he chased her they got into a public argument so we're asking what's what's the worst public fight you got into with your partner? 800-585-1051. Again, what's the worst public fight you and your partner had out and about now? One of our producers said that they got into a fight outside of an IHOP, that he got slapped in front of an IHOP. And that producer is also 400 pounds. So drop on the clues, mom, for his girlfriend.

She said enough. Enough. Enough already. No more food. No more IHOP. It's over. I'm not mad at her for that. 800-585-1051.
