Speaker 1

You know it's donkey up today time.

Speaker 2

Damn he hogged, It's time to donkey kick.

Speaker 1

I mean trying to be donkey today.

Speaker 3

No more.

Speaker 1

They should be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm not making these people do.

Speaker 3

These things called donkey of the day and it really caught me off guard. Damn Charlamagne, who got the donkey out of the day today?

Speaker 1

Wow?

Speaker 3

Jesselarious donkey today for Tuesday, October ninth goes the officer Louis Lozano and officer Eric Mitchell. Should I say former officer Louis Lozano and former officer Eric Mitchell. They are former Los Angeles police officers who were fired because they were too busy discussing Pokemon Goal while someone was getting robbed.

Speaker 1

Let's go to ABC seven for the Port police video. Maybe you were able to do your life chat.

Speaker 2

With where were you? Game was on night? Right now?

Speaker 4

I'm like, dang now the love in the l A p D send some shocking new video showing the moments two LAPD officers ignored a backup call about a robbery and instead played Pokemon Go. This all happened back in twenty seventeen, when the Exchange was caught on the digital camera inside their squad car. The officers continued to ride around and talk about catching the Pokemon character Snorlax after a captain reviewed the video while they were fired the

next year. The officers tried arguing the recording should have been dismissed because they were private conversations, but both the lower court and the appeals court disagreed with that.

Speaker 3

Wow, one of the aliens coming, not the ones crossing the border, the extraterrestrials. Okay, Et and than Os dim can y'all please come back to the Earth. The least got to be up. Okay, we are so sorry for what we have done to your planet. God, I totally understand why you would never thin your only be gotten favorite son, Jesus back here. What would be the point of ascending him back to this silly ass, unserious planet.

Speaker 1

Somebody out there getting rapped? Okay.

Speaker 3

Meanwhile, these cops are busy searching for Pokemons water now just to play White Devil's advocate. Other cops did respond to the armed robbery call, so they probably felt like they got it under control.

Speaker 1

We'll get there when we get there.

Speaker 3

But I come from an era before mobile games like Pokemon Go, and we used to play games like Cops and Robbers. Y'all didn't play Cops and robbers as kids, of course. Yeah, so now when we play Cops and Robbers, do we not go stop the robbers? Because where too busy playing Pokemon Go? And what if there was a lot of Pokemon to be captured at the scene of

the armed robbery, these officers might have really missed out. Okay, Now, the worst part about this is that these officers simply are not living up to the motto of protecting and serving.

Speaker 1

Okay.

Speaker 3

Instead of being out trying to catch a robber, they were going back and forth about who can catch Bulbazar and Ivy Sar and Venosaar. They was worried about all the stars, but didn't want to be officers of the law and do their damn jobs. Sidebar, I had a friend who would call me Sharhizard all the time, and I.

Speaker 1

Was so confused.

Speaker 3

I never understood why until I started paying attention to this phenomenon called Pokemon Go. What is it? Oh that's what it was pronounced, Oh, charzar charge. Yeah, they would call me Charzard. Okay, now, there's nothing wrong with an

officer killing some time playing some mobile games. But when those mobile games stop you from doing your actual job, okay, then you deserve to be fired, especially when your job is the same folks, all right, you had the opportunity to stop a whole armed robbery and you literally said, I don't want to be his help.

Speaker 1

Okay.

Speaker 3

More and more every day I realized why Alonzo hated Hoyt so bad in training day, and why he hated Hoint so bad in training day because these two officers, Louis Lozano and Eric Mitchell, they had no business in the field. They needed to go get a nice poom poom desk job chasing bad checks to something.

Speaker 1

Okay.

Speaker 3

They clearly not built for the action that comes with being a law enforcement officer, all right, because they would rather be at the Pokemon Gofest instead of the police academy. Please give Louis Lozano and Eric Mitchell the sweet sounds of the Hamiltons.

Speaker 2

Of the day, the dog gee all the day.

Speaker 3

Yee.

Speaker 1

Whole world? Was that the four Tops the four Times? That wasn't a gay reference, the singing group the four Tops.

Speaker 3

Oh no, that was the Hamiltons. I didn't know I was like, it was only two officers I was. I was like, where did the other two tops come from? Now that's what he said. Wow, now you did mention aliens. And I want to tell people, uh Ring camera.

Speaker 2

Oh yes, it's offering a million dollars to anyone who captures an alien with the doorbell camera.

Speaker 1

That's right now.

Speaker 2

The winner will get a million dollars grand prize paid out in fifty thousand yearly installments for two decades, and Ring is also offering a five hundred dollars Amazon gift card for the most creative fake.

Speaker 1

So if you catch I don't like that, That's what I don't like.

Speaker 3

But I like the having a million dollars out there to catch the extraterrestrial. But then you're gonna offer money for the most creative fake. So now what if there's a real one on there, but nobody's gonna think it's real because they're gonna think it's a real creative fake. So now if I'm actually an extraterrestrial, right, like I say, I'm just like a little trouble making extraterrestrial who likes to come down every now and then kick it, you know,

around Halloween. Blending now I can just walk by a ring camera actually be an alien, then go collect the prize. I can tell you right now, if I see this pop up in my neighborhood where people are doing all of this for a prize, I'm gonna call the LAPD.

Speaker 1

Not that they would show up and do anything, but this is they'll be too busy playing Pokemon.

Speaker 2

Go right, all right, well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Now, when we come back, we got a special guest join us, right.

Speaker 3

Yes, doctor Alfre Brieland noble man, Doctor Alfre Brielan, noble. She runs the Acoma Project and she runs my foundation, the Mental Wealth Alliance, and she'll be here to give us a recap of the third annual Mental Wealth Export that happened this past Saturday.

Speaker 2

All right, et will see y'all tomorrow. Everybody else, we're gonna kick it up well her when we come back, so don't move.

Speaker 1

It's to Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 3
