  Speaker 1: It's time for Donkey of the Day.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: There's a bunch of donkeys out here in this street.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: I'd have made Donkey of the Day. Called Donkey of
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: the Day. It really caught me off guard.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: We live a life where we bite our tongue based
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: off who we may offend. We never would say anything.
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: Give it to him.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Give it to him.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: You are a donkey.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: That is why Charlemagne is here.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Some donkey of the day just saw themselves.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: On The Breakfast Club.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Okay, Chalamet, who you giving donkey of the day to today?
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Well, donkey of the day for Monday, September 21st. Do
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: you remember? The 21st night of September. Okay, salute to Earth, Wind,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: and Fire. Dropping the clues bombs for Earth, Wind, and Fire.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Damn it.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: On this 21st of September donkey of the day goes
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: to the Hutchinson Funeral Home in Detroit, Michigan. Let me
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: tell you something. There are certain businesses where mistakes are
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: simply part of doing business, okay? I'm in the fast
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: food business, all right? My wife and I, we own
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: a couple of Crystal franchises in South Carolina. And sometimes
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: you go to Crystal, order an avocado sausage egg cheese
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: toast sandwich. You might say you don't want cheese because
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: you're lactose intolerant like me. And guess what? You bite
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: into it and it's cheese. Mistakes happen. You might go
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: to Starbucks, tell them almond milk. They might give you
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: oat milk. Amazon might drop your package off at the
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: wrong house. There are certain businesses where mistakes are simply
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: part of doing business. OK, but there are certain businesses
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: where you cannot get the order wrong under any circumstances.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: And a funeral home should be at the top of
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: that list, okay? Ladies and gentlemen, according to the family
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: of 61-year-old Kimberly Moore, drop on the clues bombs for
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: the Moore family. RIP to Kimberly Moore. They went to
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Hutchinson Funeral Home in Detroit to view their mother before
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: her funeral, and their mama wasn't there. Let's go to
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: ABC7 for the report, please. It's a lady in there
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: with our mother's dress on and her hair on and
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: her makeup on.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: Everything.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: And it's not our mother.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Byron Moore and his siblings prepared to say their final
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: goodbyes to their mother, Kimberly K. Moore, who died earlier
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: this month. But right before Moore's viewing Friday, her daughter,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Bianca Robinson, says she made a disturbing discovery.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: When I came to put my mom nails and her
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: lashes on, he was asking me, like, do you think,
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: is this your mom? And I'm looking like, how is this?
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: You should know.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: So he unzipped the bag. And when he unzipped the bag,
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: I looked at the toe. And I was like, it's
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: not a mole on her toe. And I turned around
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: and I looked at him. I said, this is not
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: my mama, sir.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: And he said, I'm so sorry.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: He said, your mom must have been cremated when she
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: first got here because it was two ladies that was
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: here that came in when your mom came in. And
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: we must have cremated her. I said, but how do
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: you make a mistake like that?
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: They said that the toe tag, they think the toe
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: tag got wet and it fell off.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: And that's how her body got mixed up with somebody
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: else's body. Can we get some type of comment? I mean,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: the family is looking. We're investigating.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: I'm not on camera. No comment.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Joseph Hutchison Jr., the funeral home's vice president of operations,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: offered no further detail and directed me to his public
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: relations spokesman. No, my comment is that you can contact
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: my own associates.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: They'll be handling everything.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Has the family been addressed, at least in some way?
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: That's my comment. Hutchison Funeral Home, what up, though? Seriously,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: what up, though? Y'all had somebody else's mama cosplaying as
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: somebody else's mama. The woman was wearing their mother's dressing wig.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: This isn't Amazon. You can't send me the wrong mama
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: and tell me to print out a return label, okay?
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: That's not how this works. Hutchinson Funeral Home, did y'all
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: really think you were going to get this off? I
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: just don't understand why it's so hard for people to
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: do the right thing, okay? You knew, you know, which
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: wig belonged to Kimberly, okay? You knew which casket was
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: supposed to be Kimberly's, but somehow the only thing y'all
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: didn't have was Miss Kimberly?
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Huh?
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Salute to the moore family for not burning hutchinson funeral
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: home down to the ground and y'all playing with somebody
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: else mama too because harpo who is this woman you
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: trying to tell me is my mama when i know
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: it's not the disrespect for black bodies even in death
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: is crazy okay you heard uh the news report just
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: now kimberly's daughter bianca robinson said when she arrived to
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: put on her mother's nail and lashes a mortuary worker
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: allegedly asked her is this your mama What the F
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: you mean is this my mama? You tell me. Okay,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: that's why I bought it in you. If I have
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: to identify whether that's my mother after you've already prepared
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: the body, what exactly are we paying you for? Okay,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: see what I'm saying. Imagine going to pick your child
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: up from daycare and the teacher walks out with some
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: random kid asking, is this yours?
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: OK, I'm trying to.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Tell you some professions allow uncertainty. Funeral director isn't one
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: of them. I don't want to hear probably. I don't
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: want to hear we think. I don't want to hear
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: looks like this is my mother. We talking about, OK,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: there should be more identity verification at a funeral home
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: than there is at TSA. And look, we all make mistakes,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: but there are some mistakes, OK, that you just cannot make.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: They got this order completely wrong. Miss Kimberly was supposed
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: to be cremated after the funeral. So her loved ones
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: can see her one last time. But the funeral home
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: told her they may have. They told the family they
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: may have already cremated Kimberly. OK, and I forgot this part.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Hutchinson Funeral Home didn't even have her ashes. Why do
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: we love traumatizing people? OK, I'm already dealing with my
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: mother being dead. I'm grieving. I'm confused. I'm exhausted. And
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: now I have to deal with walking in a funeral home,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: seeing my mother's wig. Her dress, but not her face.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: And somewhere there's another family who also has questions, too,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: because once again, whose mother was wearing Kimberly Moore's clothes?
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: There is no control Z for this.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: I keep telling you, everybody makes mistakes. Sure, everybody does.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: But the consequences of mistakes depend on what you do
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: for a living. If a funeral home allegedly cremates the
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: wrong person, there is no fix. Okay, certain jobs require
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: a level of attention that borders on damn near paranoia. Pilots, surgeons, pharmacists, police, okay?
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Funeral directors. My bad isn't enough when y'all make a mistake, okay?
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Kimberly's Moore family trusted this funeral home with something priceless. Okay,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: not expensive, priceless.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Their mother.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: And I hope every funeral home in America sees this
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: story and spends today checking every damn procedure they have
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: so mistakes like this don't happen again. Because some places
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: cannot get the order wrong, and a funeral home is
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: absolutely one of them, okay? You can't lose somebody's mama
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: after they've already lost their mama. Please give the Hutchinson
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Funeral Home the biggest hee-haw. In a crazy world we
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: live in, guys.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: And girls. Men and women. Theys and thems.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: So crazy. My family, when it plays up, ain't no way.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, they are more. Y'all might be related. You
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: got family in Detroit?
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but what up, though, if so? That's crazy.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Now,
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: when we come back, we have a youth pastor, Pastor Luke.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, man.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Katrina Tillman will be joining us. They have a new book.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: He has a new book called Finding God Every Day.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: Nine years old, right?
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Nine years old. Remember, he was on Jennifer Hudson's show
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: last week. Tyler Perry surprised him on Jennifer Hudson's show
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: because he's a big Tyler Perry fan. But I also
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: remember his mom called in here to promote his book.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: And so we was like, you know what? Why don't
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: y'all pull up? You know? And they did.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: So we're going to talk to them next. So don't
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: go anywhere. It's The Breakfast Club.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Good morning. Don't be a donkey when you need a
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: fighter on your side. If you're ever injured, go to MichaelTheBull.com.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: That's MichaelTheBull.com. And when you mess with the bull, you
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: get the horns.
