Speaker 1 (00:01):
I was born. It's the donkey of the day, Charlemagne
Devil Breakfast club.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Yes, donkey today for Thursday, February eighth, goes to the
Breakfast Nubs or should I say breakfast Nub, which would
just be mees Charlamagne to God. Jess told me I
should do this because Monique is from Baltimore.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Absolutely, and that's her aunt, right, absolutely, and I'm a
sweet baby.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Yes. And if we don't have anything to do with this,
Jess Laris has nothing to do with this because she
just got here Monday, okay, together us three at the
Breakfast club. But I am the breakfast Nub, all right.
That's what Monique called us on a club Sha shay yesterday.
Well called me on club sha shit yesterday when she
was reminiscent over the time she received donkey today. Let's
listen to her on club.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
We were able to do the special and we appreciated them,
saying listen, how can we work this out? Now? You
know what happens with that.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
People were having.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Callings when I said this is not right. I was
donky other day. Remember that I was donkey of the day.
The Breakfast Nubs called me the donkey of the day.
That's what they said. And they had a whole calling
about how I was Donkey of the Day, but you
didn't do the same thing when you found out was
settled now all of a sudden, don't nobody know what
(01:21):
the settlement is.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
It was really really quick. We just want to throw
it away.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
So with that Netflix special, it was just it was
just like, no, guys, I gotta stand up now.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
If you remember, Monique back in the day, like twenty eighteen,
called for a boycotted Netflix, saying they low balled her.
Monique said in an Instagram video that Netflix offered her
a half a million dollars for a comedy special, and
she pointed out Amy Schumer was off with eleven million,
Dave Sheapell and Chris Rock twenty million. I gave her
Donkey of the Day for that because it was in
my opinion that Monique, you know, wasn't on the level
(01:51):
of Dave, Amy and Chris. And she came on Breakfast
Club and said this.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
And what happens is when you're basing off of what
you're assuming and then you give me a title of
Donkey the Day. Is your mother still alive, yes, ma'am?
And You're from what city in South Carolina? Monst Corner,
South Carolina, Monkst Corner. And if I was to call
your mother or your grandmother, could they tell me stories
of inequality that they had to deal with?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Absolutely?
Speaker 3 (02:13):
So, would your mother be a donkey?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
No?
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Would your grandmother be a donkey?
Speaker 2 (02:17):
No?
Speaker 3 (02:18):
I need you to explain how you gave me the title,
because you're not explaining it. You're going off of what
I assume. But because you're on that microphone, and when
we open up these microphones, we know just how powerful
our voices can be, don't we, Angelou, Yes, we do,
and we know that what we say can become law,
correct Lenard, Absolutely, so when we do that, we must
(02:39):
then explain it to our community because we know how
poisonous it can be when we put things out, but
we can't back it up.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
We just say it. You's right.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Netflix ultimately ended up taking back their offer, and then
in twenty nineteen, Monique suit Netflix for failing to negotiate
in good faith. The federal judging the case sided with Monique,
and in twenty twenty two, the lawsuit was settled out
of court, dropping the clues bombs for Monique Okay, here's
the thing. I've said this before, and I've said it
a few times.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
On this radio.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
When it comes to that point, Monique was right. I
should have minded my black owned business, Okay, And she's
right when she speaks on the power of the microphone,
because people from Netflix were definitely reaching out to me
behind the scenes and they tried to explain why Monique
didn't get the money that Amy, Dave and Chris got.
Doesn't matter what the conversation consisted of. Just know, as
I just said, Monique sued them and they settled. So
(03:27):
they're clearly with some validity to the injustice that she
spoke of. Monique, you were right. Okay. I've said that
before in this radio and I'll say it again so
you hear me. I had no business speaking on your business. Okay.
There's absolutely a paid discrepancy for black women. Black women
are typically paid only sixty seven cents for every dollar
paid to white men, and the wage gap actually widens
the sixty five cents on the dollar for black women
(03:49):
who hold doctor degrees compared to white men with the
same education. Okay, not to mention all the proof is
in the putting. When you see a company as big
as Netflix. With all the money Netflix has, they could
have dragged this out. Okay, they settled with Monique, Okay,
and still put out a Monique comedy specially all right,
we've heard Taraji come out and complain about the pay
discrepancy in Hollywood. Look, we can have a million conversations
(04:09):
as to why that is, what that is. The moral
of the story is there's too many black women out
here with the same story. Okay, Monique, God bless you, sister.
And if you have never heard me say this before,
or if I've never said it, because I was born
in nineteen hundred and seventy eight and my memory is
not what it used to be. I apologize for being wrong. Okay,
A man shut.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Up to go in?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Could y'all stop?
Speaker 1 (04:32):
It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I apologize Monique for giving you donkey of today because,
once again, regardless of how I felt about the situation
when you in Netflix, I had no business in your
business and broadcasting your business, And it was Envy's idea
to open the phone lines for people to comment on
your business wasn't mine. Okay, But I truly you're going
to know where you gonna apologize.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
I apologize Monique. Okay, and I think you shul apologize
to a husband as well.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
What you got to do with this?
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Both of them.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Both of them was doing this and both of them
felt disrespected. That's her manager. He was outside. You should apologize.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
He's always around, that's the thing. He's always him.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Even though he called. He apologized that husband too well.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Apologize to her husband. I apologize their husband Sidney Sidney right,
that's his name. Yes, I truly, truly, truly pray this
apology is received by you, Monique, and I hope you
heal because I feel like when I hear somebody talking
about something for a long period of time, that means
they have been holding on to it and it's bothering
them in some way. And as a therapist once told me,
(05:31):
if you don't want your piece to serve, don't disturb
the piece of others. I clearly disturbed your piece. I
heard Donkey of to Day mentioned in the intro to
your Netflix special. I heard you talk about Donkey to
Day on Club shay Sha. Monique, I apologize. I want peace.
I want us to heal whatever this is. I want
that for everybody you mentioned in the Club Shashay interview.
I truly pray for peace and healing for us all Monique.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
I want that for you.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
I want that for me because I love us for real.
Please give all to God. He ate the breakfast, the

Speaker 2 (06:48):
Come out to bushes.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Right, you got that right, listen. But that is what
happened though.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
We just opened the phone line and we asked people
what they think. It's the same thing. Now, let's open
up the phone lines and ask people what they thought. Okay,
how about Charlemagne the breakfast snub? All right? In the
Mornique situation. Now it's five years later, right, it's that's
six years later, actually eight.
