- 0:36Speaker 1: That's crazy.
- 0:38Speaker 2: And they were talking about the fact that herd immunity
- 0:44Speaker 2: requires about 95 percent of the citizens in that area to,
- 0:50Speaker 2: you know, the herd immunity. So they were at 93
- 0:54Speaker 2: percent and now they're going to be at 86 percent.
- 0:57Speaker 1: Here's what I'll say. And those two were unvaccinated. They
- 0:59Speaker 1: did very well. They were unvaccinated.
- 1:02Speaker 2: If you listen to RFK or Joe Rogan about anything,
- 1:07Speaker 2: anything having to do with your physical well-being, you deserve it.

- 1:49Speaker 2: it's like getting addicted to crack. Nobody does that anymore.

- 3:23Speaker 3: What do we need to talk about?
- 3:25Speaker 1: Thank you, Ms. Hughes. We can't tell the boss what's
- 3:29Speaker 1: going on. You've been in business a pretty good little while.
- 3:34Speaker 1: 45 years. See, I wasn't going to say that. I
- 3:38Speaker 1: was going to say 22, but you're going to tell
- 3:40Speaker 1: off on yourself.
- 3:41Speaker 5: Go ahead.
- 3:41Speaker 1: You know, you can do it.
- 3:44Speaker 3: I'm proud of it. I will be 80 years old
- 3:47Speaker 3: next year and I'm still strong. Wow.
- 3:50Speaker 1: Look at you.
- 3:51Speaker 3: This company will be 46 years old on October the 3rd. Wow.
- 3:56Speaker 2: Happy birthday to all of us. I hope that that
- 3:58Speaker 2: means we'll get a big ass cake.
- 4:00Speaker 3: Listen.
- 4:02Speaker 2: What would the you that has arrived tell you, you know, 45,
- 4:07Speaker 2: 46 years later, what would this arrival, your ascension, what
- 4:13Speaker 2: would they tell, what would the young you tell the
- 4:16Speaker 2: more experienced you?
- 4:16Speaker 1: What would you tell the young you about yourself, about
- 4:18Speaker 1: your journey?
- 4:19Speaker 3: To have more children than just one. I have witnessed
- 4:25Speaker 3: firsthand how productive Alfred has been as a lone ranger
- 4:29Speaker 3: by himself. I can't imagine if he had had four
- 4:33Speaker 3: or five brothers and sisters to be of assistance to
- 4:37Speaker 3: him with the heavy lifting. Oprah might have ended up
- 4:40Speaker 3: working for us.
- 4:41Speaker 5: Okay.
- 4:42Speaker 3: All right. I think it was Alfred who took us public.
- 4:46Speaker 3: It's Alfred who has made these stripes. I mean, you know,
- 4:49Speaker 3: not only are we surviving.
- 4:51Speaker 1: We're thriving.
- 4:52Speaker 3: We just closed and took over K-104 in Dallas, Texas
- 4:55Speaker 3: in the last few weeks. Right. And so Alfred's leadership
- 5:00Speaker 3: has been exemplary. And I just can't imagine if I
- 5:04Speaker 3: had been smart enough to have more than just one.
- 5:06Speaker 3: But I was single. I was by myself. I was
- 5:08Speaker 3: a mother at 17. And I just felt if I
- 5:11Speaker 3: could make it through with the one, I would be
- 5:14Speaker 3: thankful now. And, you know, as I look back to
- 5:16Speaker 3: my older self and say to my younger self, don't
- 5:19Speaker 3: resist the urge to have more children.
- 5:23Speaker 5: Yeah, ma.
- 5:24Speaker 2: You score well with Alfred, but you know, for every,
- 5:26Speaker 2: you have a bunch of kids, the chances diminish.
- 5:28Speaker 1: So you could have a star, but you could have,
- 5:31Speaker 1: you know, there is a Tito Jackson out there. No,
- 5:34Speaker 1: I'm just kidding.
- 5:34Speaker 5: I'm just playing.
- 5:37Speaker 1: How you gonna celebrate?
- 5:38Speaker 2: How are you going to celebrate this key? How are
- 5:41Speaker 2: you going to celebrate getting this key?
- 5:42Speaker 3: To be very honest with you, I am so excited.
- 5:46Speaker 3: My second level of excitement is because I have four
- 5:50Speaker 3: tickets to DL and DL in Orlando, Florida. I cannot
- 5:55Speaker 3: wait to be.
- 5:56Speaker 1: In your audience.
- 5:58Speaker 3: Everybody who has heard about it, who has seen it,
- 6:01Speaker 3: everyone's raving about it.
- 6:03Speaker 1: I cannot wait, D.L.
- 6:04Speaker 3: So that's how I'm going to celebrate. Me and three
- 6:08Speaker 3: of my staff members, because they don't like for me
- 6:10Speaker 3: to be out in gatherings alone these days. The four
- 6:15Speaker 3: of us will be in your audience and cannot wait
- 6:18Speaker 3: to see D.L. and D.L.
- 6:19Speaker 1: I can't wait to see you.
- 6:20Speaker 3: Incredible.
- 6:21Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 6:22Speaker 3: What an incredible combination, you know? Yeah.
- 6:25Speaker 1: Stay away from Don. He's a criminal. You do know that, right?
- 6:27Speaker 1: Don has an arrest record.
- 6:32Speaker 2: We don't want you messing up Sully and your reputation
- 6:34Speaker 2: hanging out with that sort.
- 6:36Speaker 1: Thank you, Ms. G. I'm looking forward to seeing you.
- 6:38Speaker 3: See you soon.
- 6:39Speaker 1: Congratulations. Enjoy yourself. And I can't wait to see you backstage.
- 6:43Speaker 3: All right. God bless. Thank you, Jeff.
- 6:45Speaker 1: God bless you, too. Thank you, Ms.
- 6:47Speaker 3: Hughes.
- 6:48Speaker 1: It's now time to give a deserving someone the Shoe
- 6:49Speaker 1: Booty of the Week award.
- 6:50Speaker 5: And now it's time for the Shoe Booty of the
- 6:56Speaker 5: Week award. Amir Hassan ran for election to the U.S.
- 7:03Speaker 5: House to represent Michigan's 8th Congressional District. He lost in
- 7:08Speaker 5: the Republican primary on August 4th, 2026. His career experience
- 7:14Speaker 5: includes working in federal law enforcement.
- 7:18Speaker 1: I'm an officer of the law.
- 7:20Speaker 5: So, why is Amir Hassan this week's recipient of the
- 7:23Speaker 5: Shoe Booty of the Week Award? I guess I'll find
- 7:26Speaker 5: out soon enough. Amir gets the shoe booty because Amir
- 7:31Speaker 5: ran as a Republican for the U.S. House in Michigan.
- 7:34Speaker 5: That was his first mistake.
- 7:36Speaker 1: Some things are better left unsaid.
- 7:39Speaker 5: In the stormy seas of political campaigning, who did he
- 7:42Speaker 5: choose to endorse him? Captain Jack Sparibs.
- 7:46Speaker 1: Don't be rude.
- 7:47Speaker 5: That ship had holes in it before it set sail.
- 7:51Speaker 5: Now here's why he's a first ballot shoe booty winner.
- 7:54Speaker 5: Amir just pulled off the rarest political feat in American history.
- 8:00Speaker 5: He lost an election to a guy who wasn't even running.
- 8:06Speaker 5: The commander in cheese endorsed him.
- 8:09Speaker 1: Where we had an African-American guy who was a fan
- 8:11Speaker 1: of mine.
- 8:12Speaker 5: He campaigned hard, spent hundreds of thousands of dollars. More money,
- 8:17Speaker 5: more money, more money. And still got beat by a
- 8:21Speaker 5: guy who dropped out of the race weeks earlier. Are
- 8:24Speaker 5: you serious? Endorsed someone else and was basically just chilling
- 8:29Speaker 5: at the crib. Tom Smith wasn't even running. His name
- 8:35Speaker 5: was still on the ballot by accident. So Amir basically
- 8:38Speaker 5: ran against an empty chair and the empty chair won.
- 8:43Speaker 3: Bummer.
- 8:44Speaker 5: At this point, I'm pretty sure if they put none
- 8:47Speaker 5: of the above on the ballot, none of the above
- 8:50Speaker 5: would be giving victory speeches right now. Amir didn't just
- 8:54Speaker 5: lose to a dropout. He lost to a ghost with
- 8:58Speaker 5: better name recognition. And that's why the shoe. Goody of
- 9:04Speaker 5: the week award goes to Amir Hassan. Now here's a
- 9:11Speaker 5: swift kick in the ass.
- 9:13Speaker 1: Now it's time for what you need to know with
- 9:15Speaker 1: the one and only Sybil Wilkes.
- 9:16Speaker 4: It's Sybil Wilkes with what we need to know. The
- 9:19Speaker 4: world is mourning country music icon Dolly Parton. She passed
- 9:22Speaker 4: away at the age of 80 in Nashville Tuesday. Her
- 9:25Speaker 4: six-decade career earned her 11 Grammy Awards and over 100
- 9:29Speaker 4: million record sales worldwide. Praising her enduring legacy, the president
- 9:33Speaker 4: ordered flags flown and half-staffed. In Mississippi, an investigation by
- 9:38Speaker 4: Mississippi Today reveals Senatobia Police Chief Harold Vanderford used repeated
- 9:43Speaker 4: racial slurs across 10 private text threads dating back to
- 9:46Speaker 4: last summer. In media news, independent arbitrator ordered the Washington
- 9:51Speaker 4: Post to reinstate columnist Karen Atiyah, ruling that she was
- 9:55Speaker 4: wrongfully terminated over social media posts following Charlie Kirk's assassination.
- 10:00Speaker 4: And finally, a new report in the British Medical Journal
- 10:02Speaker 4: reveals that at least 25% of former NFL players who
- 10:06Speaker 4: died between 2016 and 2021 suffered from CTE.
- 10:12Speaker 1: I'm Sybil Wilkes.
- 10:13Speaker 5: Be informed. Be empowered.
- 10:15Speaker 1: Jasmine Sanders.
- 10:16Speaker 3: Hey.
- 10:17Speaker 1: Okay, let's get to it.
