The People's Donkey

The episode opens with a series of promotional segments for various iHeartRadio podcasts, including 'Humor Me with Robert Smigel and Friends,' 'OK Storytime,' 'Look Back At It,' and 'The Clifford Show.' The core of the episode is 'Donkey of the Day,' a recurring segment where listeners nominate individuals for ridicule based on foolish or offensive behavior. This week’s honorees include Joshua Williams, a passionate aspiring pilot who sought $150,000 to fund his training, and Chud DeBuilder, a white man accused of racial provocation, including using the N-word and macing a pregnant woman. Paul Irene calls for 'America' to be the Donkey of the Day, criticizing the nation’s leadership under Trump and the resulting societal and economic fallout. The episode concludes with a callout to the owners of Percy and Willie, a South Carolina restaurant that allegedly ejected a well-known black food critic, Ben A Critic, for filming—allegedly due to racial profiling. The segment ends with a sponsor plug for personal injury attorney Michael the Bull Lamisoff, emphasizing the importance of legal representation after injury.
