Speaker 1 (00:00):
DONKEYO to day right here the Breakfast Club. Bitches, you
can call me the Donkey of the Day, but like
I mean no harm. Donkey today for Wednesday, June thirty.
If Mike Tyson's born Day can't the game game dropping
a clue bombs from Mike Titan Damna is going to
a nurse in North Carolina named Kelly Morris. Not. Kelly
(00:21):
is a nurse at the Citadel Winston Salem Nursing Facility,
and she has been suspended from her job. Would you
like to know what she was suspended for? That's going
to w x I I NBC twelve for the report. Please.
Kelly Morris worked as a nurse at the Citadel Winston
Salem Nursing Facility on First Street. She also has an
act of TikTok account where she goes by the user
name bubblegum Kell's and often includes content about her job
(00:43):
that some say is way out of line. Several of
you contacted w x I twelve this weekend expressing concern
over videos like these that appeared to show Morris joking
about mistreating her patients. Morris says they're just jokes, but
she's been suspended by her employer, and now has created
a go fund Me page entitled TikTok got me fired,
So feed my kids. As of this afternoon, the page
(01:04):
is raised fifty five dollars. After speaking with an attorney,
Morris opted not to sit down with us for an interview,
but in a statement to w x I twelve news,
Morris says, quote, the only thing hurt in my TikTok
videos where people's feelings. All my videos are comedy skits.
I can understand how someone can be upset, but not
to the degree they are taking it. No one was
ever harmed. And I treat all my patients with great care,
(01:26):
and they all loved me. And Morris told me that
to her, this is just another example of cancel culture,
and says she feels she's being targeted by a campaign
of people who just can't take a joke. Okay, let's talk.
The smartphone is the biggest stage in the world. It's
the biggest stage ever. Okay. I told you all on
this radio for weeks walking around with this thing in
your hand. Is thing in your pocket, this device that
gives you access to platforms like YouTube, Twitter, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook.
(01:49):
It makes you feel like everything is content. It makes
you feel like you want to perform. I applaud people
who don't get caught up in the performance of it all,
the performance of life. I'm telling you, it's the lost art. Okay,
just to be cool. People can't even focus on what
God put them here to do because they're too busy
wanting to perform for the world. Everybody wants to be
a talent. Everybody wants to be a star, they think
(02:10):
because they have an audience. No matter how big a
how small, the audience is there and they have to
entertain that audience. This is a nurse okay, and a
nursing facility doing comedy sketches okay, doing comedy sketches like
people are just sitting around waiting on the Nurse Kelly show. Now,
I'm just using Kelly Morris as an example because she's
(02:31):
donkey to day to day. But this is an example
of how America is obsessed with celebrity on all levels. Okay.
A lot of Americans only equate real success with some
form of celebrity. And let me be the first to
tell you that's stupid and sad. Okay, success is subjective.
A nurse in North Carolina, making a decent salary. You
got a place to stay, you got food on the table,
you got a car to drive. If you're happy with that,
(02:55):
that success. That's why success, the subjective success is not
about money. Success is not about lebrity successes about are
you doing what makes you happy? Okay? I promise you,
Nurse Kelly, I know some millionaire comedians, millionaires in this
entertainment business who would trade all of that for a
peace of mind. Okay, they would trade all of it
for true happiness. But if you want to be a comedian, Kelly,
then go be a comedian when you're not doing your
(03:17):
nurse thing, go on stage, do some open MIC's hell,
if you want to do comedies catches at the house
on your off time, cool, But when you are in
that nursing facility, you have to focus on nursing. How
could you possibly be the best nurse you could be
when you're too busy trying to be amy Shouma, listen
to some of these jokes she posted on TikTok while
in the nursing facility, I'd unplug your event to charge
(03:40):
my cell phone. Me making sure all my patients sleep
all night because they kept me up last night, and
she acts like she's putting too many pills in a
person's cup. Would you slap a patient for a million
dollars if you had your loved one in this nursing facility?
Would this make you comfortable seeing a nurse act like that?
If you were a patient in this facility, would you
be comfortable seeing your nurse act like that? My point, Kelly,
(04:03):
is why don't answer that. I know why because nowadays
money isn't the root of all evil. Attention is so
much so that people will mess up their money for
sad attention. Case and point, Kelly Morris, you got suspended
from your job as a nurse because you want to
get your snl on and do comedies catches and you
have the nerve the blameness on cancel culture. Kelly, you
(04:26):
work at a nursing facility. Behavior like this kids you fired.
There's no cancel culture. And this there's no cancel culture
and that nursing facility, but it is termination culture. If
they don't like your behavior, if they don't like your performance,
they can fire you are in your case, suspend you.
Cancel culture has nothing to do with that. You're a
nurse working at a nursing facility talking about harming patients.
(04:48):
You don't see how that could rub the powers that
be that you work for the wrong way. See we
scream cancel culture when it's just about accountability. Okay, you
got suspended because the entity you work for is holding
you accountable. Thank god you didn't get fired. But during
this suspension, if I'm this nursing facility, I'm looking at
you like she don't get it. She's blaming this on
cancel coaches. She started a second account on TikTok called
(05:11):
bubble gum Kells with two z's, with the caption when
trolls get your band, Like, I can't make a second account.
She she's still performing. Don't know when to stop. Trolls
didn't get you man from TikTok. Kelly, you did. Nobody's
trolling you. Nobody trold you. People are upset on how
they see you treating. Uh, patients that are in the
facility are pretending to treat patients. Okay, Number one, they
(05:34):
don't know you're playing, and number two, they don't care
that you're playing, because why are you playing? Nobody wants
to see you joking about giving patients, too many pills,
lied about vital signs, are acting as though you you know,
I want a patient to die. Okay, Like, come on, Kelly,
all right, she has to go fund me in the
pages titled TikTok got me fired, So feed my kids.
(05:56):
With a goal of twenty dollars. So far, she has
raised sixty alright, sixty dollars that is, And that's one
dollar too many. If you ask me once again, Kelly,
TikTok didn't get you fired. You did. If you want
to be talent, go be talent. If you want to
be a comedian, go be a comedian. If you're going
to be a nurse, be the best nurse you can be.
But you for sure can't do both at the same
(06:17):
damn time. Please let North Carolina's on the Hamletones give
North Carolinas Kelly Morris the sweet sounds of the Hamletones.
You dogkey oh the day, Yeah, dog oh the day.
(06:39):
Ye TikTok got me fired, So feed my kids. Your
kids can't eat that attention candy. Your kids can't eat
those lights canny, kids can't eat those little floating hearts
because that TikTok it. That's another platform platform, platform doesn't okay,
whatever the same difference. Don't get a day is walk
(07:00):
to you by the law office of Michael s lam
and Saw. Don't be a donkey. Dive pound to fifty
on your cell and say the bull. If you've been
hurting a construction accident, that's pound two five old from
your cell and say the bull.
