"WILL CAIN: A, we so rarely get to see people who have different points of view, but still like each other and are friends. And B, you're both thoughtful. Even though Charlamagne's given me donkey of the day at least once, maybe twice. ANDREW SCHULZ: No! For what? What did you do? CAIN: I was on ESPN defending no, I wasn't even defending they had a big debate during our big race, you know, we're gonna reexamine everything in America period of time."
"Charlamagne made Cain his donkey of the day a running segment on his show that is still going in 2019 for criticizing the Philadelphia Flyers for removing a statue of late singer Kate Smith and stopping using her rendition of God Bless America after the revelation that she sang racist songs. Cain was on ESPN at the time and angered Stephen A. Smith and others with his Smith take."
"And they tore down the statue of Kate Smith in front of the Philadelphia Flyers where they play she sang some wonderful version of God Bless America. They made a statue. But in the '20s and '30s, she also sang some racist songs. I'm like, hey, this doesn't solve anything to tear down her statue. And you're diminishing her life into this one thing."
Comedian Andrew Schulz appeared on The Will Cain Show where Cain praised Schulz's podcast Brilliant Idiots, co-hosted by Charlamagne Tha God. Cain revealed that Charlamagne had once labeled him "donkey of the day" after Cain commented on the Philadelphia Flyers removing a statue of Kate Smith and stopping use of her rendition of "God Bless America." Cain explained he felt tearing down the statue did not solve underlying issues and that reducing Smith's life to one aspect was wrong. Cain recalled his ESPN comments angered Stephen A. Smith and others. The exchange surprised Schulz and underscored friendly rapport despite past criticism.
