Speaker 1 (00:00):
Donkey up to day.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Damn, but he hog, I ain't trying to be donkey
today no more.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
They should be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm
not making new people do these.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Days called donkey of the day, and it really caught
me off guard. Damn Charlamagne, who got the donkey out
of the day to day?
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Well, jess hilarious.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Donkey today for Friday, February fifteenth is the double Donkey.
It goes to a young woman from the Great State
of Texas. Salute to Ambershelvy, drop on the clues BOMX
for Ambershelby, rep Red okay, and it goes to the
Fairfield n in Staten Island. Let me tell you something.
This is why having people on the ground wherever you
go is vital. I don't care if you in the country,
are you out the country? Those reviews and pictures you
(00:45):
see online don't always be the truth, Okay.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
For example, I.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Tell people all the time when they come to New
York and they ask me what they should do, always say,
go to the pink house in Brownsville. They hear the
word pink, that's not nice. They hear the word pink
and say that sounds the lightful.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Somebody always tells them, you know, don't listen to me
like Envy just did when I say that, But I
still say it anyway. Okay, I've been in Miami and
had foreigners asked me where to eat. Now before I
say finger licking and slewed through my good brother, eat class,
I say, go to Liberty Square, try the porking beans,
all right. People usually tell me they don't eat pork,
need to do eyes, so I then tell them go
to finger licking. My point is, I don't know what
(01:23):
I'm talking about for real, Okay, I just be playing
in Fairfield and in Staten Island.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Y'all playing what? Okay? See?
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Amber, her husband, and her two young kids, booked the
hotel room that had a gorgeous view of the city's
iconic skyline.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Well at least it did on the website. All right.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
This is the epitome of if what you paid for
versus what you got was a three star hotel room
one hundred and forty dollars Amber paid.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
And I can see how this.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Happened to you, Amber, because I looked at the pictures
on the website and we're gonna put them up when
this goes up on YouTube. I can see how you
got gotten all right, but not really the skyline.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
They thought they had the New York City skyline.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
It was actually a picture of the New York Skyline
printed on the window shades.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
So when they took the.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Pictures of the pictures of the hotel room, they closed
the shade so it looks like the New York City skyline.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
When she actually opened the.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Shades, their view was a hotel parking lot with a
glimpse of a park across the road with a couple
of kids in Wu Tang Clan t shirts.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Let me tell you something I don't even know.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
If you can see the skyline in New York City
from Staten Island in any hotel in Staten Island, can
you see the skyline in New York City from Staten Island.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
You should be able if it's a high enough hotel,
I think so, yeah, absolutely you can.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
You can't, or somebody from Staton Island let me know.
I know you can get on the ferry. You can No, no, no,
you can't. You definitely can't. Yeah, yeah, okay, I.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Know you can get on the ferry and the ferry
takes you from Lower Manhattan Staten Island and that provides
you some good views of downtown skyline. But even with
me not knowing that, it wouldn't stop me from going
online and saying, sure you can and fantastic views of
the New York City Skyline from Staten Island.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Why would I do that?
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Because I enjoy lying for fun, okay, and so does
everyone else. That's why the Fairfield End got the New
York City Skyline on shades in that hotel, because they
not technically lying. They never said, hey, we got fantastic
views of the New York City Skyline.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
You just assume that because of the pictures. Now.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Amba said she had no complaints about the hotel. Her
only complaint was that it was too far from New
York City. Amble, my country cousin, I could have told
you that. Check the reviews, man, but check the ratings.
Go on Twitter and use it like Google the way
meet Mill does. Sometimes just ask the question, Hey, all
my New Yorkers, it's Staton Island far from New York City.
(03:32):
Hey can you get a nice hotel in New York
City for one hundred dollars? You would have gotten a
bunch of heroinatics responding to you saying hell yeah, and Nat.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Would have been your answer.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Man. Listen, I know we don't frequent yelp like we should,
but yelp is the Internet equivalent of let me speak
to your manager. Okay, every caaring in America got platinum
reviews on Yelp. They gonna tell you where you should
be and shouldn't be. And my sister, am, but you know,
damn well, when something sounds too good to be true,
it is all right. This is something we learned back
in the days of slavery. Okay, well we should have
(04:02):
learned back in the days of slavery, but we didn't.
When you know better, you do better. We know better now.
We didn't know better back then, and that's how we
ended up on those slave ships. They promised us a
cruiser around the world. Okay, new whips, cars, new change, jewelry,
and they told us it was gonna cost us nothing
but a little bit of work. How did that turn out? Now,
let me be the first to tell you the old adage,
if it sounds too good to be true, it probably
(04:24):
is isn't always correct. In fact, the suspicion, cynicism, and
doubt that are inherent in this belief can and does
keep people from taking advantage of excellent opportunities.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
But this wasn't one of those times. Amber, you should
be a shamed.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Okay, Fairfield takes some pictures with the shades up, and
please give Ambers, Shelby and the Fairfield in in Staten
Island the sweet times of the Hamiltons.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
Oh no, you are gee of the day, do gee
all the day.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Ye, and don't hit me up either asking me, uh
if I said what I said about slavery was true,
because I just told you all like to lie for fun.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
But I actually like what you said the whips and
the chains and how it was like the whips the
cars to change the jewelry.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Yo, you're smart when you want to, babe, but there
was no cars back then.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Just yo, relaxed. I'm making the correlation like I'm trying
to give you a coming. You know, it was dumb.
Everything you said was, and even the donkey, because I
don't even think the lady deserved the damn donkey for
seeing what was presented to her online.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
You know, that's that's what it was. She did a
little more research. How old is she? Young? She got
young kids?
Speaker 3 (05:41):
She's not young young man, because you said, my sweet
country sister, I thought, and that's what.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
She said, country.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Yes, okay, all right, she right, don't know, you don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
I could see.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
She deserved donkey for that.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
A little bit, because you can't go all the way
from Texas to New York without doing more due diligence
and more research than just looking at pictures online.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Okay, one hundred dollars hotel? How many stars would you staying? A? Three?
Three is on the cuss like three?
Speaker 5 (06:11):
Yeah, sometimes you read the reviews, okay, three stan Island,
Oh my god, but I know somebody out of.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Town you might not know.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
I don't even know Staten Island.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
I don't even know like anything bad about it.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
I'm sure Staten Island has well three stars of state.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Now three star fair Field and.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
A fan fail.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
You said, Ah, if a promoter booked you and they
told you you was staying at the Fairfield, just stop it.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Yeah, Fairfield in Houston, A fair Field in Baltimore, ain't
even yea.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Let me ask you a question right when we were
on to come up, Yes, I got some times in
Field we stayed at Fairfield.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Come red roof fins.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
I agree with you stated you never Yeah, I've seen
it driving past stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Like that by myself, though not with my husband in
two chairs.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
When you were young twenty one twenty two, and not
with my.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Husband and two chairs.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Alright, I don't know what you're doing with your husband children.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
B E T will see you on Monday.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
These be et by Jesus.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
All right now, when we come back, Desi Banks will
be joining us a comedian. He's on tour and we're
gonna kick it with him when we come back and
on move. It's to Breakfast Club come morning. The Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
