- 0:03Speaker 1: It's time for Donkey of the Day. I'm a Democrat,
- 0:08Speaker 1: so being Dunky of the day a little bit of
- 0:10Speaker 1: a mix, so like a Donkey o the day club bitches.
- 0:18Speaker 1: Now I've been called a lot of my twenty three
- 0:20Speaker 1: years that Donkey of the day is a new wife. Hey,
- 0:23Speaker 1: donkey of today, first one for twenty twenty three. Okay,
- 0:26Speaker 1: Donkey to day for Monday, January, Knife goes to the
- 0:28Speaker 1: Pitchburgh Steelers. Now I've been disconnected from the Internet because
- 0:32Speaker 1: I've been busy just living life, all right, But this morning,
- 0:35Speaker 1: my producers put me onto the fact that it's been
- 0:38Speaker 1: some online outrage over the Steelers players celebrating a sack
- 0:43Speaker 1: with their traditional CPR simulation. Have you seen this NB? Yeah,
- 0:48Speaker 1: people are upset because days after the incident that happened
- 0:50Speaker 1: to Damar Hamlet, they still was doing this celebration. Now,
- 0:56Speaker 1: I'm highly aware of how overly sensitive people Okay, I'm
- 1:01Speaker 1: highly aware of how overly sensitive people are nowadays. Okay,
- 1:03Speaker 1: it's folks right now waking up, turning on the radio,
- 1:06Speaker 1: going on social media, waiting to be triggered by something. Okay,
- 1:09Speaker 1: it's there a whole reason for breathing all right, and
- 1:12Speaker 1: those types of people with that type of energy. We
- 1:14Speaker 1: can't give oxygen two in twenty twenty three because a
- 1:16Speaker 1: lot of it is just noise. All right, it's a distraction.
- 1:19Speaker 1: But this right here, I think it's worth a conversation,
- 1:22Speaker 1: and I do want to use this opportunity to teach
- 1:24Speaker 1: and encourage everyone to do something that we don't do
- 1:26Speaker 1: a lot of nowadays. And let's read the room. Okay.
- 1:29Speaker 1: I have a theory about room reading that I will
- 1:32Speaker 1: be exploring in my new book. Yes, book three is
- 1:35Speaker 1: on the way. But the theory is, folks can't read
- 1:37Speaker 1: the room because there's too many rooms. All right, It's
- 1:40Speaker 1: too many people talking, it's too much noise, and a
- 1:43Speaker 1: lot of people are thinking for themselves. Okay, they literally
- 1:46Speaker 1: are getting on social media and waiting to see, you know,
- 1:50Speaker 1: how to feel about things. So the room reading isn't
- 1:54Speaker 1: really happening because it's too many rooms to read in
- 1:57Speaker 1: this situation right here is one where everyone in the
- 2:01Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers organization hasn't read any room. Okay, Now, I
- 2:06Speaker 1: understand the Stealers do this celebration all the time. I
- 2:08Speaker 1: get it. But as soon as folks saw what happened
- 2:11Speaker 1: with the mar Hamlin last week. Someone should have said, hey, hey,
- 2:15Speaker 1: the CPR celebration cut that next that eliminated, okay, suspended
- 2:19Speaker 1: until next season, all right. You had to know in
- 2:21Speaker 1: this hypersensitive era where folks are looking to be triggered,
- 2:24Speaker 1: that wasn't going to go over well. And what kills
- 2:27Speaker 1: me about these types of situation is that there's too
- 2:30Speaker 1: many people involved. So you're telling me that nobody, not
- 2:33Speaker 1: one person in the organization said look, let's not do
- 2:36Speaker 1: the CPR simulation celebration for the rest of the season
- 2:40Speaker 1: and light of the circumstances. Okay, this is the same
- 2:42Speaker 1: thing which Skip Bayless. It's not that what Skip said
- 2:45Speaker 1: was insensitive. It was poor timing, because yes, at some
- 2:49Speaker 1: point folks was going to have to discuss what happens
- 2:52Speaker 1: with this game, okay, the Bills Bengals game, but not
- 2:55Speaker 1: right now? All right, This CPR celebration is fine any
- 2:58Speaker 1: other time, but not right now. Okay. And in twenty
- 3:02Speaker 1: twenty three, what I want us to practice, you know,
- 3:06Speaker 1: it's not just reading the room, but can we just
- 3:08Speaker 1: have more awareness of others? All right? It doesn't matter
- 3:11Speaker 1: what you do all the time. It doesn't matter how
- 3:15Speaker 1: you do things. Okay, every day, at certain points we
- 3:19Speaker 1: have to adjust, all right. We have to learn to pivot,
- 3:21Speaker 1: all right, especially when it comes to other people. All right.
- 3:24Speaker 1: And that's the problem. Folks only want to be fluid,
- 3:26Speaker 1: it seems like in twenty twenty three when it comes
- 3:28Speaker 1: to sexuality. All right, we have to be fluid with everything,
- 3:32Speaker 1: all right. Be like water. We have to be formless. Okay.
- 3:35Speaker 1: We shouldn't allow ourselves to be trapped in any certain mindset.
- 3:38Speaker 1: A person should be able to adapt the certain situations. Okay,
- 3:41Speaker 1: you gotta grow, you gotta change. That's how you adopt
- 3:44Speaker 1: the qualities of water. In fact that Bruce Lee can
- 3:46Speaker 1: explain it better than me. Listen, and your mind be formless,
- 3:51Speaker 1: shapeless like world. Now you put water into a cup,
- 3:55Speaker 1: it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle,
- 3:58Speaker 1: it becomes the bottle you're putting at thought, it could
- 4:00Speaker 1: come used the team carter. The water can flow, how
- 4:04Speaker 1: it can crash? The water my friend two twenty three
- 4:09Speaker 1: learned to be water, My friends, be formless. Just because
- 4:13Speaker 1: you've been doing something a certain way doesn't mean you
- 4:15Speaker 1: have to always do it a certain way. Please give
- 4:18Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Stealers the biggest. He all, No, am I
- 4:25Speaker 1: off with this and be what do you think? Nah,
- 4:27Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think they were mocking the situation.
- 4:29Speaker 1: But it was. It was tone deaf, it was classless.
- 4:32Speaker 1: It was stupid to see. Yeah, I know they weren't
- 4:34Speaker 1: mocking it. I know they weren't making it very dumb.
- 4:36Speaker 1: I don't even think. I wouldn't even call the classless.
- 4:38Speaker 1: I just think that they're used to doing it all
- 4:40Speaker 1: the time. Yeah, but like you said, it just happened.
- 4:43Speaker 1: That's right. We're all saying three. We have the number
- 4:46Speaker 1: three on our jerseys, number three on our T shirts,
- 4:48Speaker 1: and then you do that. It's just stupid and silly.
- 4:50Speaker 1: You gotta you gotta read the room and you have
- 4:52Speaker 1: to be like water. Just come up with another celebration,
- 4:56Speaker 1: you know, for the rest of the season and lighten
- 4:59Speaker 1: the circumstances. Now what are we gonna talk about? Now?
- 5:02Speaker 1: You're gonna talk about your those job or something else.
- 5:04Speaker 1: I don't have a nose jam. You got an those
- 5:06Speaker 1: job over the holiday job? Wondering why he sounds you
- 5:09Speaker 1: know like Michael Jackson, Almo. Almo was really happy to

- 5:22Speaker 1: wondering why MBA sounds like Elmo Jackson is because you
- 5:24Speaker 1: got a job. I didn't get a those job. I
- 5:27Speaker 1: had polyps in my nose. My wife said I was
- 5:29Speaker 1: snoring a lot. I went to the doctors. I was
- 5:30Speaker 1: scared that I would have sleep apnea or something like that.
- 5:33Speaker 1: They said I had polypsic thought it was gonna be
- 5:34Speaker 1: a twenty minute procedure. Wound up being a two hour
- 5:37Speaker 1: procedure where they took all the polyps out and now
- 5:40Speaker 1: I could smell Alaska from here, I can breathe a
- 5:42Speaker 1: lot of not named cold. You did it good, too, though,
- 5:48Speaker 1: because you waited during the holiday break. You knew we
- 5:49Speaker 1: had four weeks off. That's why a lot of people
- 5:51Speaker 1: don't do you know. I mean a lot of people
- 5:53Speaker 1: like to get bbls in the middle. Didn't hear when
- 5:55Speaker 1: they still got to be at work. It was not
- 5:57Speaker 1: that type of surgery. And they didn't touch my nose
- 5:59Speaker 1: like that. They went inside and here, No, I didn't
- 6:02Speaker 1: get any there's nothing shaved off. And I couldn't travel
- 6:04Speaker 1: because you can't travel with it. You can't be around
- 6:07Speaker 1: places with a smoke, whether it's hookla, cigarettes or weed.
- 6:09Speaker 1: So I couldn't be in a club. So I was
- 6:11Speaker 1: home for the last three weeks. And they say, you're
- 6:13Speaker 1: probably healing into goodness. All right, but anyway, let's open

- 6:33Speaker 1: to feel this one. And I just felt entitled to
- 6:37Speaker 1: it as well. I was paying all the bills. I
