Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, 1974. George Foreman was champion of the world. Ali was smart and he was handsome. The story behind The Rumble in the Jungle is like a Hollywood movie. But that is only half the story. There's also James Brown, Bill Withers, B.B. King, Miriam Akiba. All the biggest black artists on the planet. Together in Africa.

It was a big deal. Listen to Rumble, Ali, Foreman, and the Soul of 74 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Push Donkey up the deep. Made it. Bam, the hee-haw again. It's time for Donkey of the Day. Made it. Damn, the hee-haw again. It's time for Donkey of the Day. 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. It's called Donkey of the Day, and it really caught me off guard. Damn, Charlamagne. Who got the Donkey of the Day today? Well, Jess and Larry, it's Donkey of the Day for Friday, December 15th. It goes to Rosemary Hayne. Who is Rosemary Hayne? She is an Ohio woman who doesn't respect individuals who work

in the fast food industry. Salute to all the fast food workers out there. Drop on the clues bombs for the fast food workers. Yes, yes. You ever worked fast food, Jess? I have. I was the manager at McDonald's. Okay. Yep. I worked at Taco Bell. I worked at Taco Bell for two weeks. Okay. My sister was the manager. She fired me after two weeks.

Good decision. Very good decision. Good decision. Understandable. I deserved it. I didn't want to be there in no way. So I'm sure I was projecting that energy onto others. But I respect all fast food workers. Why would I not respect the people who work at the establishments that we all frequent? I will never understand people who feel like they can disrespect fast food workers.

How can you look down on fast food workers, but yet you are eating at their establishments? And those of you who disrespect fast food workers before you get your food, y'all are just insane humans. Then you wonder why people are farting on your quarter pounders. You ever farted on a quarter pounder just a week ago? I have never farted on anybody's food. Okay. Have you?

No, I would never do nothing like that. They done dropped your curly fries all over the floor and put them right back in the box like it's nothing. But you earn that because you want to disrespect people. That's exactly what Rosemary Hayne did. She was at Chipotle and she ordered a burrito bowl. Her burrito bowl wasn't made the way she liked it. Instead of being a civilized human and just simply asking for it to be remade, she decided to resort to violence.

Let's go to Queen City News for the report, please. It is a popular term in the criminal justice system. Does the crime fit the punishment? Well, in this fast food frenzy, it seems to fit pretty well. Yeah, video from an Ohio Chipotle from last month showing a customer throwing hot food right in the face of one of the workers. And now she has been sentenced to an unusual punishment for that assault. The victim told a judge that she was traumatized by the incident.

And the judge in turn said he was appalled by the actions of one Rosemary Hayne. Hayne was initially sentenced to 180 days in jail with 90 days suspended. I'm appalled too. Okay, that's whack. Don't play with people like that. That woman is 39 years old. Okay, Rosemary Haynes. And the woman she threw the food at was 17.

How are you displaying lower emotional IQ than a 17-year-old? All she did was mess up your order. That's a simple conversation. Let them know what they did wrong. They will fix that. But you, Rosemary, dealing with some type of internal issues, mad at the world about something, and decided to throw your Chipotle bowl at the young lady. I wish that the young lady and a couple of other Chipotle workers would have jumped you.

Okay? Violence begets violence. Disrespect begets disrespect. I know Michelle Obama said when they go low, we go high, but sometimes you got to take it to the floor

at Chipotle with a person. Okay? Throwing something at me is assault, especially when that something is hot grilled meat, hot rice, hot beans,

hot veggies, guac, salsa, sour cream, and cheese. So I have the right to defend myself. For God still working on me, clearly, this 17-year-old has higher emotional IQ than me

because she did what she was supposed to do, and that's call the police. I believe she called the police because this young lady ended up in jail, and she got a very unique punishment. I have never heard of a punishment like this. Let's go back to Queen City News for the report, please. The judge ordered her a chance to reduce her sentence.

She'd get a lot less time in jail if she worked for 60 days at a fast food restaurant. You didn't get your burrito bowl the way you like it. This is how you respond. You went in there looking for a fire. I did not, Your Honor. I did not. If I show you how my food looked and how my food looked a week later from that same restaurant, it was disgusting looking. My daughter was. I'll bet you're not going to be happy with the food you're about to get in jail. Do you want to walk in her shoes for two months and learn how people should treat people, or do you want to do your jail time?

I'd like to walk in her shoes. Prior to her sentencing, Hayne did tell the victim she was sorry. We do know that she has had interviews, but it's unclear if she had landed a fast food job just yet. I like this. Either working the fast food job just yet i like this either work as a fast food worker for two months i do 90 days in jail what would you choose jess hilarious i would choose the two months and you know i'm fast food working but so i wonder how the 17 year old girl feels like what you give her oh you give her a chance to work at a restaurant instead of paying for the crime like the right way.

Yo, I got hot food thrown in my face. I guess that would be considered like community service maybe. Yeah, but like what? What would you do, Andy? I'm not really paying attention. They're about to send up pizza,

oxtail pizza, and I've been waiting on that. Trash. Trash. You gotta stop. Already tried it. It's not what you need right now sweet chili salmon pizza and all that i'm done they set it up just to lobster and shrimp too

oh gosh jesus i like this punishment the reason i like this punishment is because you can't understand someone until you've walked a mile in their shoes all right we are all so quick to judge but don't be so quick to judge because you never know when you might find yourself walking in that person you are judging's shoes. So I love the fact she has to work fast food for two months because I don't know why anyone would think they better than a fast food worker. A fast food worker is a human, just like you, a human, trying to get through their day, making an honest living. And we love them, which is why all the fast food restaurants be packed all the time. Have some empathy, okay? Empathy is the art of stepping into the shoes of another person,

understanding their feelings and perspectives, and using that understanding to guide your actions. Once Rosemary works here for two months in fast food, she will never treat fast food workers or probably anybody terribly ever again. I promise if God can make all of us live each other's existences for just two months, the whole world will change. in fast food. She will never treat fast food workers or probably anybody terribly ever again. I promise if God can make all of us live each other's existences

for just two months, the whole world will change. For sure. If white people had to step into black people's shoes, if men had to step into women's shoes,

if straight men had to know what it feels like to take penis for two months in the bunkie and be openly gay, we would all start treating each other with love and respect

immediately. I didn't... Yeah, why'd you... I vouched too quick love and respect immediately. I didn't. I vouched too quick for the third one. I didn't even know, yo. You said yeah real fast. I be thinking. Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, God. Please give Rosemary Hames the biggest hee-haw. She black? No. Honey, I never heard of Rosemary. I never heard of no. I'll be honest. I ain't never heard of no Rosemary.

I don't know none of them. All them. A lot of us are here. He's the reason that DJs exist. He's one of the reasons DJs exist. When you talk about the founding fathers, it's always Grandmaster Flash, of course, Afrika Bambaataa, and Kool Herc. We're going to talk to Grandmaster Flash this morning. He's going to give us a lesson. I know that's right. We're going to get to that when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. He's going to give us a lesson. I know that's right. So we're going to get to that when we come back. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
