Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's time for Donkey of the Day.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
I'm a big boy. I could take it if you
feel I deserve it.
Speaker 3 (00:04):
Ain't no big deal.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
I know, Charlottage God gonna have funny sleep, say out
his mouth. You got to say something you may not
agree with. It doesn't mean I'm mean it's getting that
dunk that donkey that don't don't don't don't.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Donkey other day right.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
The breakfast club. Bitch, you can call me.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
The donkey of the day.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
But like I mean, no harm. Yes, donkey today for Wednesday,
August seventh goes to American Olympic gymnast Mikaela Skinner. Michaela
is a former teammate of Siman Bows and back in June,
Michaela said, besides Simone, I feel like the talent and
the death just isn't what it used to be in
reference to the women's gymnastics team. You know, just notice,
(00:40):
like I mean, obviously a lot of girls don't work
as hard. The girls just don't have the work ethic.
Can we hear that clip please?
Speaker 3 (00:46):
But besides Simone, I feel like the talent in the
depth just isn't like what.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
It used to be.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Just noticed, like I mean, Obviously a lot of girls
don't work as hard. The girls just don't have the
work ethic like and it's hard too because of safe
sport like coaches can't get on athletes and they have
to be really careful what they say, which in some
ways is really good. But at the same time, to
get to where you need to be in gymnastics, you
do have to be I feel like a little aggressive
and a little intense.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Now she has since deleted that video, but I am
sure the young ladies on that team, including Simone, didn't
like that. Hell, the coaches is right. I didn't like
it either. Okay, I understand, she said. Besides Simon, but
Simone is like, these still my teammates. I'm still gonna
ride for them. So Simon biles on Ig posted a
series of photos of the twenty twenty four US women's
gymnastics team after they won gold, and her caption was
(01:40):
lack of talent, lazy Olympic champions, drop on the clues
bombs for some more boos. Success is always the best
clap back. Okay, success is always the best revenge. Oh,
we don't have work ethic. The talent isn't what it
used to be watch this now. If you ask me,
I don't even think some more Bibles is talking directly
to Michaela. I'm sure the US women's gymnastics team had
(02:02):
a lot of critics, and if Simon was really being petty,
she could have quoted Michaela directly. Okay, but a hit
dog will hollow and social media is going to make
sure that dog gets hit. Because after Simone put that
post up, I guess social media did what it does,
and that's start to tag Michaela to remind her of
what she said and let her know. Simone finally responded
by bringing home the gold. Okay. Well, Michaela turned into
(02:26):
my Karen okay, and mcaren became the victim and she
asked Simone to put a stop to the cyber bullying
she is experiencing. After Simone's post, can we hear what
she had to say?
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Unfortunately, things have really gotten out of hand lately. And
it's one thing to disagree with me regarding something I
have said, but it's something else entirely when that turns
into cyber bullying, or even worse, watching people cheer on
the bullying, which has led to threats of physical harm
(02:58):
to me. My husband and our daughter. Is disgusting. Please
at this point, I am just asking for it to
just stop for the sake of my family, because enough
is enough. If Simone truly believes that I called our
team lazy and lacking talent, and if that's really how
(03:18):
she feels, I am really heartbroken over it.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
That's what she said. He the thing like, why do
people do that? If Simone feels like I said that,
you said that? He Here's the thing, MICHAELA or mcaren.
You are an athlete, all right, former athlete. You competed
at the highest levels. You understand how criticism works. Let's
just say the US women's gymnastics team didn't do well
(03:43):
at this year's Olympics. Everyone would have went to your
original comments and they would have said, see, MICHAELA is correct.
They don't have work ethic, they don't have the talent
and depth they used to. They would have been repeating
your comments over and over to the team on social media. MICHAELA.
What you have called that cyber bullying. See, that's the
problem with rhetoric and words. If you're going to dish it,
(04:05):
you have to be able to take it okay. When
you offer opinions about others. One or two things are
gonna happen. Either you're gonna be right, are you gonna
be wrong? Either people are gonna agree or disagree. In
the case is something like this, Michaela gave an opinion
that at the time some people could either agree or
disagree with. But it was up to the US Women's
gymnastics team to prove Mikaela wrong and they did. Okay,
(04:26):
And now that she's been proven wrong, she gotta deal
with that simple. Now she's asking for some moone's help.
Can we listen to that one?
Speaker 1 (04:34):
I am asking you directly and publicly to please put
a stop to this. Please ask your followers to stop.
You have been an incredible champion for mental health awareness
and a lot of people need your help.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Now, don't make this about Simone Bows and what she
needs to make stop. First of all, it's never gonna
stop now. Social media is cut through business. A bunch
of shocks in the water. When they smell blood, they coming.
You got online pleading with these heathens. You think that
they're gonna listen to you. No, you think they're gonna stop.
If some mong biles tells them to know they gonna
(05:13):
go harder. But the moral of the story is you
bought this on yourself. The best way to not have
your piece disturbed is to not disturb the piece of others.
So don't put this on Simon. Don't make it seem
like Smoane is bothering. You are causing people to bully you. No, okay,
technically you bothered them first and you were wrong. They
(05:34):
proved you wrong, so you have to deal with everything
that comes with that. Please give michaela skinner the sweets
out to the Hamilton you. Oh oh the day?
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Ye all right?
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Why do people do that? I don't know, I don't know.
All right, well, thank you for that. Donkey of the Day.
