Speaker 1 (00:01):
Did, doesn't I had become donkey of the day the.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Practice club, bitch you Gopy of to day for Friday,
September nineteenth goes to a twenty three year old man.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Named Javan j Owens.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Now Javan is from a place in Illinois called the
Cobb County. Now, I'm gonna let you know right now,
this young man is being charged with attempted murder. But
before we get into that, I am reminded, Okay, I
am reminded because of today's Donkey of to day that
we don't acknowledge our glimmers enough. All right, we have
a tendency, as humans who are ever evolving, we have
a tendency to only acknowledge our triggers, glimmers versus triggers.
(00:37):
Here goes Charlamagne with his mental health minds talk yet again, Yes,
here I go again.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Triggers are people, places, moments, just those cues that move
our body into fight or flight.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
But glimmers are also cues.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
But there are cues that move our body into a
feeling of safety, a feeling of connection. Okay, glimmers connect
us to something good. Why did I bring that up
this morning? Because today's story even though it's an attempted murder.
All right, I'm letting you know right now it's an
attempted murder. It gave me a glimmer because there is
something at the sin the center of this story that
(01:12):
connected me to some great memories. And that's something. It's
one of the greatest somethings of all time. And we
call that something a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Drop
on the clues bombs with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Don't you ever, Don't you ever, as long as you
black act like you're too good for a bite of
a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Okay, all my brothers
and sisters of all races, if you have a soul,
(01:34):
then you appreciate a good peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
You haven't lived until you've eaten a peanut butter and
jelly sandwich. That white bread with that food paste made
from ground, dry roasted peanuts, coupled with that soft, almost
elastic consistency. Those three things, that peanut butter, that jelly,
that white bread, those three things get together and have
(01:54):
a freak off in your mouth. You hear me, Okay,
with those three flavors come together. My god, the salty
cream richness of the peanut butter with the sweet, slightly
taught kicker jelly.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
It's literally the Yin and yanga sandwiches.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Okay, Peanut butter and jelly represents what happens if all
races in America just came together. Okay, it's the harmony
we didn't know we needed. But it's a taste you
just can't live without. All Right, more on peanut butter
and jelly when I come back, because I have to
remind you why we hear we're here because Javon has
an attempted murder charge, and he has that charge because
he got into a quarrel, a kerfuffle over a peanut
(02:32):
butter and jelly sandwich.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
I really need you to listen to me. Okay.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
He was taken into custody after he seriously injured another
man with a butter knife during an argument over a
peanut butter and jelly sandwich. If convicted, Owens could face
a sentence ranging from thirty years to sixty years in prison.
He was ordered to be held without bail during a
court hearing this past one day at the Dakalb County
(02:56):
Jail in Sycamore. Now let the record show to defended
his own twenty three years old, and has already pleaded
guilty the two violent crimes, with three more pending. All
of these incidents occurred within an eighteen month span.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
The injuries sustained by the victim.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Because of the butter knife were so severe that he
had to be transferred to a Chicago hospital for further treatment.
Court records revealed that a witness told police the dispute
began over a messy peanut, butter and jelly sandwich. The
witness actually attempted to intervene, but Owens allegedly swung a
butter knife over our shoulder and hit the victim. The
victim said the argument started because someone left peanut, butter
(03:32):
and jelly on the counter, and as the confrontation escalated,
Owens allegedly pulled out the butter knife, and the victim
retaliated by throwing punches. He later told police that he
didn't realize he had been stabbed until he started feeling faint.
The victims sustained five stab wounds from the butter knife
the various parts of his body. The injuries were spread
out all over his body because of the butter knife.
(03:52):
It included his hip, back, armpit, and kyla bone. According
to the doctor's the wounds punctured and intestine, and the
victim expressed fear that Owens had intended to kill him.
Clean up the goddamn Jeff, Why would you leave Welch's
concord grape jelly open like this?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
You see what a mess cost.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
This is why you always got to hear both sides,
because when I heard this story, I knew it had
to be more to it. Because peanut butter and jelly
it don't make people act like this. Peanut butter and
jelly is a time machine that does nothing but bring
you back to an existence when life was simple. One
bite and you're instantly transported back in time. It's like
having The Adventures Time Travel bracelet. You get taken back
to your childhood. You and your mama, a grandma kitchen,
(04:33):
humming the theme song to Martin. You just care free,
not a worry in the world, and then here comes
someone disturbing your goddamn peace.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
You can go from glimmer to trigger and left an zero.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Point four seconds, all because someone left peanut butter and
jelly on the counter and didn't clean it up.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Now, I'm not a lawyer, okay.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
If it's one thing that Diddy Cass showed us all
this week is that none of none of us know
the law. But this is a clear case of self defense.
My client had a butter knife. Why did he a
butter knife?
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Duh?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
It's a jar skippy on the counter of your honor
and smucker strawberry squeeze with some wonder bread. Clearly, I'm
about to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. And
then this mad man, who probably can't appreciate peeb and
j and thinks ham and cheese is top tier, starts
swinging punches at me. So I did what any self
respecting lover of peanut, butter and jelly would do, and
that's cut him with my butter knife. Now, now that's
what I would say, And that's probably why he wouldn't
(05:21):
get a bond, because the reality is, peanut butter and
jelly sandwich is a classic, one of the greatest, if
not the greatest, comfort foods of all time. But there's
a long list of things that should never lead to violence,
and near the top of that list as you guessed it,
the peanut butter and jelly sandwich. You can't catch an
attempted murder charge over no damn peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
That's just trivial.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
I don't even know what type of peanut butter it was, crunchy, smooth,
name brand generic, same with jelly. But you don't want
to go to prison for life for a spread, because
in prison you can become a spread. Yes, I'm talking
about your ass cheeks. What if you get spread in
prison and then they start calling you peanut butter and
jelly in the joint, that's your nickname. Now now you
got a nickname like Skippy Squeeze our jift jam, and
(06:04):
now people spreading your ass cheeks all over the prison. Listen,
we have to learn better conflict resolution skills. We have
to learn how to communicate without violence. These two brothers
weren't fighting over no dan peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Clearly there's some unresolved trauma there and Javon has a
history of violence, so stabbing him with the butter knife
was the effect, not the cost.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
And we will never get.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
To the cast because all they gonna do is attempt
to send this young man to prison. And I'm not
saying he shouldn't be held There should be consequences for
his actions. He should be held accountable for his actions,
but going to prison, it will devilegate him the proper
mental health care he needs to see exactly what is
troubling this young man. Please give Javon j Owens the
sweet sounds of the Hamiltons.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
You all, oh the day, Oh the day, Ye.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Donkey Today is sponsored by renowned personal injury attorney Michael
to Bull lamb is soft. Don't be a donkey when
you need a fighter on your side. If you're ever injured,
go to Michael to Bull dot com. That's Michael to
Bull dot com. And when you mess with the bull,
you get the horns.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Wake that ass up in the morning Breakfast Club.
