Speaker 1: I was donkey up to day. Damn he hogged. It's
Speaker 1: time for donkey. I'm trying to be donkey today.
Speaker 2: No more.
Speaker 1: They should be embrassed by what they already did. I'm
Speaker 1: not making these people do these days.
Speaker 3: Called donkey of the day, and it really caught me
Speaker 3: off guard. Damn Charlamagne, who got the donkey of the
Speaker 3: day today?
Speaker 1: Well, Jefsailarry, it's donkey today.
Speaker 3: For Tuesday, April fifteenth goes to a thirty four year
Speaker 3: old former police officer named Edgar Verdusco. He used to
Speaker 3: be a police officer for the Los Angeles Police Department,
Speaker 3: and he is the latest example of why I simply
Speaker 3: hate humans.
Speaker 1: I've come to the conclusion that what annoys me about.
Speaker 3: Life the most is people, which is strange because the
Speaker 3: thing I love most about life is people.
Speaker 1: But I like considerate people.
Speaker 3: Okay, we had mel Robbins up here yesterday and she
Speaker 3: was speaking to how emotionally disconnected some people are from
Speaker 3: the actual human experience, and this story is just another
Speaker 3: example of that. Edgar on Friday pled guilty to three
Speaker 3: counts of murder. Okay, man killed a mother, of father
Speaker 3: and a teenage son. Would you like to know how
Speaker 3: it happened. Let's go to ABC seven Eyewitness News for
Speaker 3: the report.
Speaker 2: Police a former LAPD officer is heading to prison after
Speaker 2: pleading guilty to murder in a fiery dui crash. Thirty
Speaker 2: four year old Edgar Verdusco faces fifteen years to life
Speaker 2: for killing three people on the six Ozho five Freeway
Speaker 2: and twenty seventeen. The off duty police officer was driving
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty miles an hour while under the
Speaker 2: influence of alcohol when he hit two vehicles. One of
Speaker 2: them plowed into the center divider and burst into flames,
Speaker 2: killing Marabelle and Mario Davla and their nineteen year old son, Oscar,
Speaker 2: who was a student at UC Riverside for Disco is
Speaker 2: do back in court in July for sentencing rest.
Speaker 1: In peace to that family.
Speaker 3: Man dead because of somebody else's negligence. Edgar, you have
Speaker 3: to get the book thrown at you, Okay, put him
Speaker 3: under the prison. You're a police officer, so you know
Speaker 3: the law. You knew drinking and driving, the speeding, the
Speaker 3: reckless driving, vehecula homicide. You know the law and you
Speaker 3: know what all that carries. Plus your job is to protect,
Speaker 3: and serve. You did none of that, so your penalty
Speaker 3: has to be harsh. Okay, And I'm taking in this
Speaker 3: story and it makes me feel why did God give
Speaker 3: us free will? Okay, I'm glad God gave it to us.
Speaker 3: But free will is like a baked potato. Okay, it
Speaker 3: needs toppings to really elevate it. Okay, you can eat
Speaker 3: a big potato plan, but when you put butter on it,
Speaker 3: or sour cream or chives or salt or pepper. Some
Speaker 3: people like cheese, I'm lactose intolerance, so I don't do that.
Speaker 3: Some people like chili on it, green onions. I've seen
Speaker 3: broccoli on bike potatoes. My point is free will and
Speaker 3: free will alone is not enough, Okay. In order to
Speaker 3: maximize free will, you need self awareness. You need to
Speaker 3: pay attention to the present moment. You need to manage
Speaker 3: your emotional state. You need to be a good character.
Speaker 3: And you don't need to be on drugs and alcohol
Speaker 3: because those things cause you to make poor choices with
Speaker 3: that free will. And what does your uncle Shaula always
Speaker 3: tell you on this damn radio, Destiny is not a
Speaker 3: matter of chance, It's a matter of choice. This guy,
Speaker 3: Edgar exercised his free will to make a poor choice,
Speaker 3: and this is why I don't like humans. When mel
Speaker 3: Robbins was here talking about people who leave the bathroom disgusting,
Speaker 3: it hit me because that's one of my pet peeves.
Speaker 3: I hate when I walk in the bathroom and see
Speaker 3: somebody else's dodo in the toilet.
Speaker 1: Even worse, when you see that.
Speaker 3: They left the toilet lining on the seat, It's like,
Speaker 3: what type of rusher you in? Don't you know other
Speaker 3: people have to use this bathroom. I feel the same
Speaker 3: way about drunk driving. Okay, now you're talking to a
Speaker 3: person who almost killed himself drunk driving when I was
Speaker 3: a young lad, so I'm speaking from experience.
Speaker 1: I was selfish.
Speaker 3: I wasn't thinking about anybody but myself. I had zero
Speaker 3: regard for other people's lives in that moment, and thank God,
Speaker 3: my dumb ass, you know, when I wrecked, didn't kill
Speaker 3: myself or anyone else. For more on that story, go
Speaker 3: to Amazon and purchase my first book, Black Privilege, Opportunity
Speaker 3: Comes to Those who created It, available everywhere you buy books. Now,
Speaker 3: I hate people, Okay, This man, Edgar posted a video
Speaker 3: on social media with the hashtag oh that's the part
Speaker 3: of the story I left up.
Speaker 1: This man.
Speaker 3: Edgar posted a video on social media with the hashtag
Speaker 3: don't drink and dry, and then shortly after gotten his card,
Speaker 3: drunk and killed three people.
Speaker 1: I repeat this man. Edgar posted a video.
Speaker 3: On social media with the hashtag don't drink and drive,
Speaker 3: and then shortly after kill three people drunk driving. This
Speaker 3: goes back to what I said about self awareness, paying
Speaker 3: attention to.
Speaker 1: The present moment.
Speaker 3: God, God literally told Edgar what to do, and he
Speaker 3: did the opposite. We have all these conversations about signs,
Speaker 3: look for signs. God put it in his head, in
Speaker 3: his heart so much that he shared with social media
Speaker 3: a message that he ignored. Don't drink and drive, Edgar,
Speaker 3: that was for you in that moment. It doesn't get
Speaker 3: much clearer than that gang, But you can't see it
Speaker 3: because you are a human being that is so disconnected
Speaker 3: from the interconnection to the human experience. I don't care
Speaker 3: if you drinking and driving or leaving a public bathroom filthy.
Speaker 3: When you do those things, you are simply not thinking
Speaker 3: of other people. But don't listen to me though, Okay,
Speaker 3: I just stopped being a sociopath about a decade ago.
Speaker 1: Mel Robins explains it way better than me.
Speaker 4: When you go into a public bathroom, two things. I
Speaker 4: always leave the space better than when I found it.
Speaker 4: If somebody destroys the seat, peas all over it and
Speaker 4: then they leave, that is a human being that is
Speaker 4: so disconnected from the interconnection of the human experience. You
Speaker 4: are leaving that for another person. And so making sure
Speaker 4: that you don't leave your mess for another person, making
Speaker 4: sure that you just kind of wipe down the counter.
Speaker 4: And then here's the second thing. If there is a
Speaker 4: human being cleaning that bathroom, please look in the ai
Speaker 4: and say thank you all the time, all the time
Speaker 4: like that right there is a simple thing that will
Speaker 4: make you start to shake out of that woe is
Speaker 4: me or that stress or that overwhelm Let them know
Speaker 4: you appreciate and see what they're doing, like you know,
Speaker 4: I can't look you, I'm gonna cry. People are just
Speaker 4: walking around disconnected and the power of starting to be
Speaker 4: the one that wakes people up. These relationships matter because
Speaker 4: they make you feel human again.
Speaker 3: The moral of the story is get connected to the
Speaker 3: interconnection of the human experience. You're not on this earth alone.
Speaker 3: Please let rem Ma give Edgar Ford Dusko the biggest
Speaker 3: he hull.
Speaker 5: He ha he ha.
Speaker 1: You stupid mother, are you dumb?
Speaker 5: All right, well, thank you for that. Donkey to day, Yes, ma'am.
Speaker 6: All right now when we come back eight hundred just ignore,
Speaker 6: just ignorant, just ignored, Just ignore it.
Speaker 5: He's fantasized right now. Ignore it.
Speaker 6: Eight hundred five eight five, one oh five one. My book,
Speaker 6: Real Life, Real Family is out today. Gia was just
Speaker 6: joined the breakfast Club what about forty five minutes ago,
Speaker 6: and we were talking about how we raise our kids.
Speaker 5: And this is how the conversation went.
Speaker 3: Would you say that you and uh and we have
Speaker 3: two different parenting styles.
Speaker 1: Absolutely the more lenient.
Speaker 6: It depends what it is. I'm disciplined. I was the
Speaker 6: yell of the screamer because I said, so, gear is
Speaker 6: a lot different. She wants to know why, Yeah, how
Speaker 6: did you feel that?
Speaker 1: But I she likes to break down.
Speaker 3: You don't get it, You're gonna get it by the
Speaker 3: end of the right exactly.
Speaker 6: So you got to think, really think before you speak
Speaker 6: to us, because she's like, all right, explain that, like.
Speaker 5: I just said it, just because no, no, no, explain this.
Speaker 5: But so I'm more like.
Speaker 6: Because I said so, She's more like, well, you can't
Speaker 6: go to the more because of this, because this could happen.
Speaker 5: Explain your parents.
Speaker 6: Mine is my dad was like no, and you didn't
Speaker 6: ask why, it just it was what it was. You
Speaker 6: just figured out later. Is a little different. I prefer
Speaker 6: the explanation.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so that's how my parents were with me. I
Speaker 7: knew that my parents never said no just for the
Speaker 7: sake of saying no. Because parents are overworked and they
Speaker 7: are stressed. You really have to take a moment. You
Speaker 7: have to take a beat. We all have to take
Speaker 7: a beat to listen to our children and be patient.
Speaker 7: And because I knew that my parents were invest sit
Speaker 7: in me that way, I knew that when they said no.
Speaker 5: There was a good reason.
Speaker 6: So we're asking eight hundred five eight five one oh
Speaker 6: five one. How does your parenting style different from your partners?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean explanations are good. That's how you learn,
Speaker 3: not just in parenting, like even just as a couple.
Speaker 3: For example, if you say to your wife did you
Speaker 3: orgasm and she says no, you know she should explain
Speaker 3: to you why she didn't so you can make her
Speaker 3: the next time.
Speaker 6: Right, So the question is eight hundred five eight five
Speaker 6: one oh five one. How does your parents style different
Speaker 6: from your partners? Like Jess, I'm sure you and and Chris?
Speaker 6: Is your parenting different?
Speaker 1: Or even you and Rome?
Speaker 6: So when we come back, we'll find out, you know,
Speaker 6: how it differs and how which one works?
Speaker 5: How you say, I just ignore ch'all the mate?
Speaker 3: Yes, like yesterday for the birthdays. I'm sure y'all did
Speaker 3: two different things, right? No?
Speaker 4: No, no, Rome had actually work So Rome had them
Speaker 4: last week?
Speaker 1: Oh got you?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Then he came home, So that is the question. And
Speaker 6: what impact does it have on your child? Eight hundred
Speaker 6: five eight five one oh five one.
Speaker 5: You want to kiss me? I could tell? I could tell.
Speaker 1: Are you talking to just like that? I'm talking to
Speaker 1: you talking?
Speaker 4: You are cruzy because I don't even like them.
