We're gonna be a donkey, because right now you want some real donkey shit. It's time for Donkey of the Day. So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey, man, hit me with the heel. Did she get donkey in the name, please, Deli? Absolutely. I have become Donkey of the Day. At the Breakfast Club, bitches. We're donkey.

Yes, donkey of the day for Tuesday, August 1st, goes to a Lancaster County, Pennsylvania woman named Linda Johnson. Linda Johnson is a former general manager at the greatest fast food restaurant in regards to providing comfort. And that is Wendy's. OK, Wendy's is the greatest of all time when it comes to providing comfort. I'm not here to argue with you all about none of this McDonald's Chick-fil-A. All those places are cool. But when it comes to providing fantastic comfort food, nothing is better than Wendy's. OK? This is not a commercial. I'm not being paid to say this. I just have very fond memories of Wendy's because when I used to drive my grandma into town back in the day in Moncks Corner, South Carolina,

that's what she used to like to do. Stop at Wendy's and she wanted her fries and she wanted them hot, okay? And Wendy's to this day still provides me that sense of comfort. Now, Linda is facing a felony charge of theft by deception. Oh, she is the number one scammer. Okay, I can't lie to y'all i love hearing about a creative scam there is a

reason they call people scam artists because a scam artist knows how to paint a pretty picture they have to be creative artists in order to get you to do what it is they want you to do and linda has painted a pretty picture she actually did one of the most creative scams i've seen in a long time. Would you like to know what Linda has done? Let's go to ABC News for the report, please. Former general manager out of Wendy's in Lancaster County was found stealing from the store, according to an audit. Linda Johnson allegedly checked in and out as a fake employee for over a year from July 2021 to April 2022. Officials say that the

theft amounted to almost $20,000. Documents from the investigation say that Johnson admitted to creating the fake employee and that the paychecks went to her cash app. Linda Johnson created a fake employee, clocked in and out as a ghost

employee, and had the paychecks go to her bank account, and that's why she's getting donkey in the day to day why would you have these checks go to your account you don't have a cousin a friend you couldn't open up an LLC I'm not encouraging you to do the crime at all but if you're going to do the crime I mean damn if you're going to scam the key to scamming is not getting caught okay the key to scamming is to not have a paper or digital trail that leads right to you now let me tell you my favorite part of this story okay i was reading this uh when other managers were questioned about the worker okay the ghost worker police said some could not remember

working with them while one manager reported that they met him once. Can we stop right here and play a game of Guess What Race It Is? Now, we're not playing a game of Guess What Race It Is for Lynda Johnson. Okay, I don't care what race she is. I don't even know what race she is. But I want to know what race do y'all think this person was who just lied about meeting an employee who never existed. He said he met him one time. Let me repeat the story.

Linda Johnson, general manager on Wendy's, created a ghost employee, an employee that never existed. She got about 20 grand sent to her bank account. When other managers were questioned about the fake worker, they said they could not remember working with them, while one manager, just one, volunteered a lie and reported that they met this person that didn't exist once. Willie D, guess what race it is?

Oh, man. That's hard. That sounds like a... It could be anybody, but it could be any race, but... Just say it, Willie. I know it's on the tip of your tongue.

I know you don't want to do it, but just say it. I'm just going on the tip of your tongue I know you don't want to do it I'm just going to say white just because I blame everything I'm just kidding Envy Linda Johnson created a fake worker at Wendy's and collected 20 grand when other managers were questioned about the fake worker they said they could not remember working with them

while one volunteer lied and reported that they met this person that didn't exist once. Envy, guess what race it is. I know you want to say what Willie wanted to say, but Willie didn't want to say it. What's the name? We don't know the name of the person. Say it.

Asian. No, it's the black man looking out for the black sister. You know what I'm saying? See? It's the black man looking out for the black sister. You know what I'm saying? See? See? I get why Willie feel that way, though. When you think about all the times white people have made up mysterious black figures to pin crimes on, okay? And then lie to Carly Russell, lying about seeing that baby on the side of the highway.

You know, I can understand why we would even think it was black. I don't know what race this person is, but I feel like this was one of us. Okay? Because why do we like to lie for no damn reason at all? We tell each other we're five minutes away and we haven't even gotten in the shower yet. Facts. We pick up the phone and tell each other we're going to call you right back, knowing damn well you're not going to call back until you remember a week later.

Facts. We tell each other, hey, man, we need to connect. Let's go do lunch or something, knowing damn well we have no plans to do none of that why do you know i do this for people on purpose i do this in conversation sometimes i just be talking right i just want to see how full of caca somebody is right so i'll be i'll be talking i'll be like you know ricky right knowing damn well ricky don't exist and we'd be quick to be like yeah yeah yeah i know ricky i know ricky i was just with him last week. You don't know goddamn Ricky. You know damn well you never met this person once because this person doesn't exist.

But for whatever reason, you just decided to tell the powers that be at Wendy's you met this person once. You putting yourself into a situation, making yourself a witness to something that Linda already admitted the police she did. She said during a video call inil that she created the employee and had the paycheck set up to go to her cash app account if it was me not only would i fire linda i would fire this co-worker who decided to lie for no damn reason you're not welcome here you can't be trusted because i was always taught if you lie you will steal and the fine folks at wendy's ain't got no time for no more thieves please give lindaa Johnson the sweet sounds of the Hamilton's. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day.

You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. We really like to lie for no reason. For no damn reason at all. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. BET, we'll see you guys tomorrow. Peace, BET.

All right. Everybody else, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. I seen this. This went viral the other day. I seen Willie D actually posted it as well. This man was talking about his struggles of dating in L.A. He said he got stood up on a date. He said he planned it all out.

He had flowers. He did everything right. But his date never showed up. So I just left the restaurant after waiting 30 minutes for a date to show up. And apparently I got stood up. I don't know what to say. I'm trying to do everything right to be a gentleman. I brought flowers. I've been consistent talking with this girl for two weeks, trying to get to know what she likes, what she doesn't like. I made plans.

I picked the restaurant, the day and the time. I've done everything to be just the kind of guy that would value somebody's time. I'm just looking for my person. I'm just looking for the one that I guess is out there there for me ladies tell me what did i do wrong all right well let's open up the phone lines 800-585-1051 willie what's your thoughts the first thing he did wrong was bring some flowers to a woman that he ain't ever met before. Two weeks in, you bringing flowers?

Let me tell you something, man. That is a no-no. Really? I was at a no-no. I don't think there's nothing wrong with flowers. Maybe not roses. No, man. No, no, no.

I wouldn't bring no roses. No. No. Flowers are a sentimental gesture. It is for somebody who you feel serious sentiments about.

Two weeks, man, you don't know a woman like that. Two weeks, nah. I'm not giving you no flowers. I'm not giving you a bouquet of flowers after just talking to you on the phone for two weeks. At the most, at the most, one flower might be cool.

Let's open up the phone. One flower. Just one single flower. You can get a bouquet of flowers. Not roses, though. I wouldn't get no roses. You ain't got to get roses. One single rose.

I like that. One single rose is a nice gesture. Let's talk about it. Let's talk about it. Hold on, Willie. Let's talk about it. Real quick, what would you bring on a first date,

Willie? Me. I'm going to bring me and a good conversation. Because that's really what it's about. The first date. We're trying to learn each other, right? Let's talk about it when we come back.

800-585-1051. Willie D is our guest host. Do you agree with Willie D? Are flowers and gifts on the first date too much? That is the question. 800-585-1051. Let's discuss when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club.
