And that's the name of our podcast, Beardless, D***less Me.

Tell them. It's time for Donkey of the Day. It's a read, but you're so good at it. You're trying to be a fake ass Charlamagne. You're the only one Charlamagne is on.

Damn Charlamagne. Who you give a dustie at a date to, man? Well, Sexy Red, Donkey of the Day for Wednesday, April 30th, goes to John Halliburton. If you don't know who John Halliburton is, John is the father of Indiana Paces star Tyrese Halliburton. Now, last night, the Indiana Paces eliminated the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA playoffs. Drop on the cruise bombs for the Indiana Paces star Tyrese Halliburton. Now last night, the Indiana Paces eliminated the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA playoffs. Drop on the clues, bounce on the Indiana Paces. Epic collapse by the Milwaukee Bucks.

The Paces were down by seven points, with 40 seconds left in overtime. And then the Bucks completely collapsed, and Tyrese Halliburton supplied the game winner. Let's listen to how it went down. Here we go! Halliburton! five seconds, four seconds. Halliburton for the lead.

1.3 to go. Pacers by one. Here's Gary Trent Jr. Let's apply. And the Pacers are moving on. What a comeback in overtime. And the Pacers are moving on. What a comeback in overtime. Now naturally after a win like that, emotions were high.

Okay, if you're a Pacers fan, you was on cloud nine. If you were a fan of Tyrese Halliburton, oh, in that moment you thought he was the greatest thing since the late great Kobe Bryant. And there is no bigger fan of you when it comes to sports than your parents, okay? Especially your father and Tyrese's dad, John, sits courtside at the games.

Well, he got a little too excited because he decided to taunt, y'all, by coming on the floor and holding up a towel with his son's face on it and shouting variations of, this is what we effin' do! Let's go to inside the NBA for the report, please. Let's listen to them. What are you?

What was some talking after the game? Oh, that's Halliburton. And then it was- His dad. Yeah, then it looks like Halliburton and Giannis make nice and that's everybody else does too. We love Mr. Halliburton.

Come see the show, don't be the show. Come see the show. Yeah, and I think I saw Tyrese is already apologized for his dad's actions. For what? Cause he went, he used to run on the court and talk to the players like, no you don't,

no you don't. Come see the show, don't be the show. No, no, no. You can't run on the stage. You cannot run on the court and talk to the players. Everybody on the court, get out of here. Everybody, he's not supposed to be on the court. He's not on the court.

He's not supposed to be on the court. He can't stop it. No, you stop it. He's not supposed to be on the court. Y'all just talk to him, forget all that. He's not supposed to be on the court. Y'all just talk to him, forget all that. He's not supposed to be on the court. He's not supposed to be on the court. He's not supposed to be on the court. Stop it. No, you stop it. He's not supposed to be on the court.

I don't matter. He's not supposed to be on the court. Y'all just talk to him. Forget all that. No, he was on the court. So what? You think he said something. He probably know who his dad is.

Come see the show. Don't be the show. I like that, Kenny. Listen, I could go either way on this. It can be harmless or it can be harmful, but the NBA has to do a better job of protecting its stars. Okay. People think that just because these folks make hundreds of millions of dollars that they should be okay with fans talking crazy to them

sure heckling is one thing but coming on the floor no do that from the stands okay and furthermore and the reason I'm giving John Donkey today is because it's not about you as Kenny Swift said it's not about you okay people need to learn that their actions do affect other people so be careful what you say and do because it's not always just about you John I know that's your son I know that you're excited but you have to remember you represent your son in that moment so don't do anything that embarrasses him or makes him look foolish also where was the security why were Giannis and John allowed to get,

I was about to say face to face, but it was more like face to waste. Why were they allowed to get face to waste on each other like that? I mean, Giannis towers over John, but why did that exchange even happen? I know team staff pulled Giannis away, but why were they allowed to get that close to each other to begin with it?

If Giannis saw John taunting him, I'm sure others did too. So you had to know Yanis going over to him wasn't because they were about to exchange pleasantries. Okay, what if emotions and egos would have got the best of them and they ended up scrapping right then and there? It's just stupid. And it's all over things that could be prevented.

Now, would you like to hear what Yanis had to say about it? Let's listen. Losing a game, emotions run high, having a fan, which at the moment I thought it was fun, what Giannis had to say about it? Let's listen. With his face this is what we do. This is what we effing do this the F we do I feel like that's very very disrespectful. I'm happy for him even I'm happy for his son And I'm happy that he's happy for his son that's how you supposed to feel but coming to me and disrespecting me and Cursing at me. I think it's totally unacceptable Totally unacceptable. I'm not the guy that points fingers because it's my neighborhood

Snitches get stitches, so I don't want to say something, you know, for him to say to get fined or anything. But not respectful. I talked with him at the end and to be, I think we're in a good place. I tell you one thing, the way Yana said coming on the floor with a towel sounded nasty, didn't it? But Yana's felt disrespected, okay? Who are we to tell him otherwise? Tyrese Halliburton said his father was wrong. Let's listen. As far as the incident between Giannis and my pops, I had no idea it happened until I got to the back and was showed the video.

Me and my pops have talked about that and I don't agree with what transpired there from him. I think basketball is basketball and let's keep it on the court. And I think that he just got excited, saw his son make a game winner and came on the court. But I think we had a conversation and I think he just needs to just allow me

to just play basketball, stay over there. I'll come to him to celebrate, but I'll talk with Yarn is eventually about it. Just, you know, I don't think that my pops is in the right at all there and All it is taken away from the fact that they came back from behind and he scored a game-winner now You got to sit up there and explain about his dad's actions. Okay, his dad apologized He said I sincerely apologize to Yannis the Milwaukee Bucks and the Pacers organization for my actions following tonight's game

This was not a good reflection on our sport are my son and I will not make that mistake again. What is the lesson to be learned here? It's simple for me. And we talked about this in another donkey earlier this week. And the lesson to be learned is, our actions are guaranteed to affect others because we are not alone in this world. John made a moment that was about his son, about him.

Your son hit the game winner. Salute, that has nothing to do with Giannis. Okay, they lost. Giannis not even a player who taunts people. Very humble man. So what was the point? But once again, our actions are guaranteed to affect others.

John, you represent more than yourself. You represent your son. Okay, you have to be that much more aware of how you present yourself because you are representing more than you. I know your last name is on the back of that Pacers jersey, but that's not you bruh. You not out there getting buckets. Your son is.

And this game speaks for itself. Okay? It doesn't need you speaking for it. Parents should cheer from the stands, not confront players on the court. So for that lapse in judgment, please give John Halliburton the biggest he-haw. It's really that simple. Yeah, crazy. Mm-hmm. I want to say I do I am really really proud of you for your segment. You've been giving people donkey fava and you read so eloquently every day. You shouldn't be impressed by people that know how to read good. First of all, that's why I never mind. I hate your segment and I don't even care about it anymore. It's crazy can't nobody even take compliments.

Like damn, your child is that rough, you don't even know how to say oh my god thank you so much sister. You're absolutely right. Thank you very much my sister. I appreciate that. Thank you. But I ate that word eloquently though. I ate that word up.

We shouldn't be applauding none of this. Why are we applauding literacy? People are supposed to be literate. I clock the literacy. Now, when we come back, Dr. LaKesha Holman will be here. She has a new book called, No One is Self-Made, a Motivational Self-Help Guide with a Community-Oriented Approach. So, when we come back, we'll talk to Dr. talk to Dr. LaKeisha Holman, okay? It's The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club.
