- 0:28Speaker 3: I mean, listen, this is what he said.
- 0:30Speaker 7: I'm not saying that I'm on his side, but he
- 0:33Speaker 7: said himself, he did a video and posted it on
- 0:36Speaker 7: social media and said, I had no idea that that.
- 0:41Speaker 3: Was going to happen.
- 0:42Speaker 7: I knew Mike Rogers was coming and Abdul El-Sayed was
- 0:46Speaker 7: supposed to come, but I didn't know that all of
- 0:48Speaker 7: this was going to take place.
- 0:49Speaker 2: You're lying ass.
- 0:50Speaker 1: Okay, I bet you knew when somebody gave you $ 1, 200
- 0:52Speaker 1: instead of $ 2, 000. You know that, right?
- 0:54Speaker 6: Yes.
- 0:55Speaker 2: I remember that. I bet you knew your brother duked
- 0:58Speaker 2: up abroad.
- 0:59Speaker 8: You knew that, right?
- 1:00Speaker 1: I'm so tired of y'all doing stuff like that. They're
- 1:02Speaker 1: not going to let nobody in their church. They don't
- 1:04Speaker 1: know who it is.
- 1:05Speaker 3: All I want to.
- 1:06Speaker 2: Do is explain.
- 1:09Speaker 7: Stop it.
- 1:14Speaker 2: And all of them. How is it that the Pope
- 1:17Speaker 2: is against? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. How can the Fisher
- 1:20Speaker 2: of men be?
- 1:21Speaker 3: Because my thing is, I get it.
- 1:22Speaker 7: You know, he did this whole thing about how, you know,
- 1:24Speaker 7: every time that there's an election and they're pulling people
- 1:27Speaker 7: running for office, that they're all welcome to come is
- 1:30Speaker 7: what he said. But my thing is, you wouldn't welcome
- 1:33Speaker 7: everyone into your.
- 1:34Speaker 3: House, would you?
- 1:35Speaker 7: Especially if you knew that they were against your family,
- 1:38Speaker 7: your friends and your circle of trust.
- 1:40Speaker 3: Why would you even.
- 1:41Speaker 2: Let them come up in the church?
- 1:42Speaker 1: Those stupid mega preachers in New York, in Detroit, they
- 1:44Speaker 1: had Jake Lane, the white supremacist, come to their churches.
- 1:48Speaker 3: That was in Harlem.
- 1:49Speaker 1: No, but I'm talking about even that. Look at Jake
- 1:52Speaker 1: Lane in Detroit. He went to the Detroit church. So
- 1:55Speaker 1: I don't have no respect for them.
- 1:57Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:58Speaker 1: It's no black church. It's just, you know, you know
- 2:00Speaker 1: why there's a black church? Because they wouldn't let you
- 2:02Speaker 1: go to church because they had a slave Bible. You
- 2:04Speaker 1: know why it's the first AME? Because you couldn't go
- 2:07Speaker 1: with them. You couldn't go to church with them.
- 2:09Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 2:10Speaker 2: So stop it.
- 2:10Speaker 1: And the very premise that you exist on, now you're
- 2:13Speaker 1: trying to deny it because it's expedient for you. And
- 2:15Speaker 1: it was a fat dude, gray to do gray, who,
- 2:18Speaker 1: you know, was trying to get, was knocking off abroad,
- 2:20Speaker 1: tried to get her a Lamborghini truck. Remember the fat dude?
- 2:23Speaker 1: Remember I saw him? Remember that dude? Who was that
- 2:27Speaker 1: fat dude?
- 2:30Speaker 2: I saw him.
- 2:30Speaker 1: He's like, hey, you know I ain't gonna speak to you.
- 2:32Speaker 1: You know that, right? I don't just dislike you on
- 2:36Speaker 1: the radio. I dislike you in life.
- 2:37Speaker 2: What's his name? John Gray, right?
- 2:40Speaker 5: Yes, that was his name.
- 2:41Speaker 3: Oh, yes, it was John Gray.
- 2:43Speaker 1: You saw that fat-ass dude wrapped up in an American flag.
- 2:47Speaker 2: It looked like a Fourth of July hot dog. Fat-ass.
- 2:49Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 2:55Speaker 2: Oh, my God. Didn't he write a book that all
- 2:57Speaker 2: the broads like?
- 2:58Speaker 5: Remember that?
- 2:59Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know.
- 3:00Speaker 1: He wrote a book or something. If you were the author,
- 3:02Speaker 1: you would know who I am.
- 3:05Speaker 2: I bet. Shout out to Ava Ryan on her cute
- 3:07Speaker 2: little fifth book.
- 3:08Speaker 3: Her cute little book.
- 3:12Speaker 2: You authors, I swear. It ain't seven. I have six books.
- 3:17Speaker 2: You're doing too much.
- 3:19Speaker 6: Huh.
- 3:20Speaker 7: Hey there, welcome back to the show. We're hanging out
- 3:21Speaker 7: here and conversating with Deion Cole.
- 3:23Speaker 1: You know that's a word.
- 3:26Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 3:27Speaker 2: It's a new word.
- 3:27Speaker 5: That's my new word.
- 3:29Speaker 2: Conversate by Deion Cole.
- 3:31Speaker 5: But you know what? They just added that to the dictionary.
- 3:33Speaker 2: They did, actually.
- 3:34Speaker 5: Thank you very much. They did.
- 3:35Speaker 3: I think it's because people just ignored the fact that
- 3:37Speaker 3: it was not real.
- 3:37Speaker 5: I was using it wrong, and then I found that.
- 3:40Speaker 1: They added in so i'm not gonna take the word
- 3:42Speaker 1: of you and then a chick that went to online
- 3:45Speaker 1: school i'm not doing i mean but you're the one.
- 3:47Speaker 6: Who paid for it.
- 3:48Speaker 1: That's right um what i dig about you is you
- 3:54Speaker 1: know i follow you on instagram you crack me up
- 3:58Speaker 1: likewise and you crack me up because there's still It's
- 4:02Speaker 1: almost like, you know, like when you get a spinoff,
- 4:06Speaker 1: somebody saw you, you were so dope on Black History,
- 4:09Speaker 1: they gave you, like that's a, that takes a lot
- 4:12Speaker 1: to traverse those kind of worlds. But you still don't
- 4:15Speaker 1: forget that you gig a lot on the weekends. You're
- 4:19Speaker 1: still out there. You're still doing funny stuff and provocative stuff.
- 4:23Speaker 1: And there's a tendency to want to kind of protect.
- 4:25Speaker 1: Like when you're on your way to work and you
- 4:27Speaker 1: get an Emmy nomination, you want to kind of, do
- 4:29Speaker 1: what you did. Like most people, the safe thing to
- 4:32Speaker 1: do is kind of try to replicate what happened, but
- 4:33Speaker 1: it don't say that you do it.
- 4:35Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 4:35Speaker 4: I don't, I mean, like I, like I said, I
- 4:39Speaker 4: don't even be knowing what I'm doing sometimes. I'm not
- 4:44Speaker 4: even lying, man. I just be doing what I do.
- 4:47Speaker 4: And then this happens. And then I go, Oh wow.
- 4:50Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
- 4:51Speaker 5: But, and it's that moment in time.
- 4:53Speaker 4: It's a lot of times I don't even like be
- 4:55Speaker 4: like knowing, knowing what I'm doing until I do it.
- 4:58Speaker 4: I like, Like, when I first got on Black-ish or whatever,
- 5:02Speaker 4: I never submitted myself for awards. Like, I just didn't. Like,
- 5:07Speaker 4: I didn't know what to do. Like, you know what
- 5:09Speaker 4: I mean? Like, I just didn't know the process. And
- 5:12Speaker 4: I still deal with that to this day. I just
- 5:15Speaker 4: kind of, like, almost just exist in my world.
- 5:18Speaker 5: And whatever comes, it comes.
- 5:20Speaker 2: Ain't that what it's supposed to be?
- 5:21Speaker 5: I mean, that's how I think it should be. Like,
- 5:23Speaker 5: anything I ever got, anything I ever auditioned for, I
- 5:26Speaker 5: never got.
- 5:27Speaker 6: Ever.
- 5:27Speaker 2: Ever.
- 5:28Speaker 5: Anything.
- 5:29Speaker 6: Wow.
- 5:29Speaker 4: And everything has always been all vibes and people. Like,
- 5:33Speaker 4: even with Conan, it was just him going, come right.
- 5:35Speaker 2: Black-ish.
- 5:36Speaker 5: I was going over there to write. I wasn't supposed
- 5:38Speaker 5: to be on the show. I wasn't.
- 5:39Speaker 4: Charlie Murphy was supposed to be that character. That's why
- 5:41Speaker 4: the character's name is Charlie.
- 5:43Speaker 2: Right.
- 5:43Speaker 5: And so I was going to write.
- 5:45Speaker 6: Right.
- 5:45Speaker 4: And then Charlie went on to do it. And I
- 5:47Speaker 4: did it. Like, it was just all these... Just always like, hey,
- 5:51Speaker 4: right there.
- 5:51Speaker 2: How did you get to sell deodorant, though?
- 5:54Speaker 5: Again. Again.
- 5:57Speaker 4: They were looking for a guy who was kind of
- 6:00Speaker 4: quirky and just kind of odd and different, and they
- 6:05Speaker 4: wanted somebody that was like an everyday guy type thing,
- 6:08Speaker 4: and they called me up, and they was just like, yo,
- 6:12Speaker 4: what do you think?
- 6:13Speaker 5: And I was just like, I mean, yeah, we can
- 6:15Speaker 5: do it. I mean, if you all want to. And
- 6:16Speaker 5: I was like, but I'll call you back.
- 6:19Speaker 8: You know I just got an.
- 6:22Speaker 2: M.E.
- 6:23Speaker 4: No, but I was like, I didn't believe what was
- 6:26Speaker 4: going on at the time.
- 6:27Speaker 5: That was it.
- 6:27Speaker 4: But then they was like, yeah, yeah, we should link
- 6:29Speaker 4: up and get together. Next thing I know, I was.
- 6:32Speaker 1: What do you think, like Chicago gets, like when you
- 6:36Speaker 1: see the characterization of Chicago, what do you think?
- 6:38Speaker 5: Right now?
- 6:39Speaker 7: Yes.
- 6:40Speaker 4: Chicago needs, I talk about this right now, the gun
- 6:46Speaker 4: violence and everything that's going on in Chicago.
- 6:47Speaker 5: I love my.
- 6:48Speaker 4: City to death, but they try to bring in as
- 6:51Speaker 4: many national guards and all that in order to kind.
- 6:54Speaker 5: Of contain the situation.
- 6:55Speaker 4: But it's deepening that, and I feel as though as
- 6:59Speaker 4: long as there's no love in these households, there will
- 7:03Speaker 4: always be gangs.
- 7:05Speaker 5: You can bring in as many national guards as you
- 7:07Speaker 5: want to.
- 7:08Speaker 2: It's such a dope city.
- 7:10Speaker 1: And I think if people wanted to, it's not just
- 7:12Speaker 1: about taking guns away from them.
- 7:14Speaker 2: It's about giving them the opportunity.
- 7:16Speaker 1: And here's what I say about cats like you and
- 7:19Speaker 1: Raelle and all the cats that have come from there.
- 7:22Speaker 1: Because I think, and D-Ray and all, just dope cats
- 7:26Speaker 1: who think a different way. And one of the things
- 7:29Speaker 1: that I notice about you cats is when you get
- 7:32Speaker 1: in an environment, you just flourish. You flourish, not because
- 7:36Speaker 1: you're already ready to, like, you cats are like cactuses.
- 7:40Speaker 2: Cactuses don't need a lot.
- 7:41Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 7:42Speaker 2: They can grow out of the side of a building. Oh,
- 7:44Speaker 2: they drop the water on you. Now I have an answer. Oops.
- 7:48Speaker 5: Nomination.
- 7:51Speaker 2: We can conversate about that later.
- 7:56Speaker 5: What are you doing with it?
- 8:00Speaker 2: I'm proud of what you have done, but I'm proud
- 8:03Speaker 2: of what you.
- 8:04Speaker 1: I love having cats on the show that I get to.
- 8:08Speaker 2: Talk to them all the time. And I love your ethic.
- 8:12Speaker 5: Thank you so much, man.
- 8:14Speaker 4: And I ain't saying this on no cliche stuff or whatever,
- 8:16Speaker 4: but as you know, man, we looked up to these
- 8:20Speaker 4: dudes forever. And... And been running in their footsteps forever.
- 8:26Speaker 4: Our whole careers, man. It's always been like, man, if
- 8:29Speaker 4: we can get to that spot. What Dee and Sid
- 8:32Speaker 4: and Bernie and Steve and Matt, man, if we could
- 8:35Speaker 4: just get there. Like, that was always the drive, man.
- 8:38Speaker 4: That always was the drive. I should have had y'all
- 8:41Speaker 4: posters on my wall or something.
- 8:44Speaker 2: And now, like, man, I got to get there. I
- 8:49Speaker 2: got to get there. You know what? Now I have
- 8:52Speaker 2: Old Spice.
- 8:52Speaker 3: Oh, my God. Thank you so much, D.I.
- 8:54Speaker 7: Cole.
- 8:55Speaker 3: We certainly appreciate it.
- 8:55Speaker 2: Thank you so much.
- 8:57Speaker 7: Remember, you can hear more of our discussion every day
- 8:58Speaker 7: on our radio show. Check out our website, thedlhughleyshow.com, for

- 9:04Speaker 3: Hughley Show.
- 9:04Speaker 1: It's now time to give a deserving someone a Shoe
- 9:06Speaker 1: Booty of the Week award. There's so many.
- 9:08Speaker 2: We can give them to anybody.
- 9:09Speaker 8: And now it's time for the Shoe Booty of the
- 9:15Speaker 8: Week award. Jeremiah Todman was hired onto the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police
- 9:23Speaker 8: Department in 2022, placed on administrative assignment on August 18th, 2026,
- 9:30Speaker 8: and suspended without pay on October 9th, 2026, after being
- 9:37Speaker 8: cited for termination.
- 9:38Speaker 5: Yikes!
- 9:39Speaker 8: Todman remained suspended without pay pending civil service board review.
- 9:44Speaker 7: Ew!
- 9:56Speaker 8: So why is Jeremiah this week's recipient of the Shoe
- 10:00Speaker 8: Booty of the Week award?
- 10:02Speaker 3: Why?
- 10:03Speaker 8: Jeremiah Todman gets the shoe booty because he wanted to
- 10:08Speaker 8: play a game with his fellow officers, but he wasn't
- 10:13Speaker 8: up on game. So these Charlotte cops had a group
- 10:16Speaker 8: chat where they were competing to see who could arrest
- 10:20Speaker 8: the most black people.
- 10:21Speaker 2: What did you say?
- 10:22Speaker 8: And then we find out one of the officers in
- 10:25Speaker 8: the chat is Jeremiah Todman, who is black. Oh, no, no, no, no. Brother,
- 10:33Speaker 8: what are you doing? You're not just in the group chat.
- 10:36Speaker 8: You're in the group chat. That's not playing along. That's
- 10:41Speaker 8: playing yourself. This is that Dave Chappelle sketch where the
- 10:45Speaker 8: blind black guy joins the Klan because nobody told him.
- 10:48Speaker 6: Who is this?
- 10:49Speaker 8: Except here, he can see.
- 10:51Speaker 5: Hot pot!
- 10:52Speaker 8: A black cop hunting black people is like a vegan
- 10:55Speaker 8: working the drive-thru at Popeye's and still asking if the
- 10:59Speaker 8: chicken sandwich comes with extra sauce.
- 11:02Speaker 6: Crispy chicken, versatis, three cheeses.
- 11:07Speaker 8: That's like vanilla ice joining Wu-Tang. Dollar dollar bill, yo.
- 11:12Speaker 8: he's not undercover he's just confused with the badge the
- 11:17Speaker 8: other officers at least have an excuse of being regular
- 11:21Speaker 8: racist jeremiah's out here trying to win the trophy from
- 11:25Speaker 8: the inside did he think if he arrested enough of
- 11:28Speaker 8: us they'd finally let him hold the trophy we don't
- 11:32Speaker 8: like Chief says they haven't found proof he targeted anybody
- 11:38Speaker 8: on the street yet. Cool. So he just really committed
- 11:41Speaker 8: to the bit. That's dedication. Or cry for help. Either way,
- 11:47Speaker 8: somebody needs to sit Jeremiah down, show him a mirror,
- 11:51Speaker 8: and ask him, very slowly.
- 11:55Speaker 2: Whose team you think you're on.
- 11:58Speaker 8: And that's why the shootout. Hootie of the Week award
- 12:03Speaker 8: goes to Jeremiah Todman. Now here's a swift kick in
- 12:11Speaker 8: the ass.
- 12:13Speaker 2: Now it's time for what you need to know with
- 12:14Speaker 2: the one and only Sybil Wilkes.
- 12:16Speaker 6: It's Sybil Wilkes with what we need to know. In
- 12:18Speaker 6: a historic midterm election, former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms
- 12:22Speaker 6: was elected Tuesday night to be the governor of Georgia,
- 12:26Speaker 6: becoming the first black female governor in American history, while
- 12:30Speaker 6: leading a statewide sweep of executive offices by black female
- 12:34Speaker 6: candidates as well. With Democrats capturing majorities in both chambers
- 12:38Speaker 6: of Congress, New York Congressman Hakeem Jeffries is on track
- 12:41Speaker 6: to become the nation's first black speaker of the House
- 12:44Speaker 6: when the new Congress convenes in January. The Democratic sweep
- 12:48Speaker 6: flipped six Senate seats across Iowa, Kansas, North Carolina, Ohio,
- 12:52Speaker 6: South Carolina and Texas. In responding to the results, President
- 12:56Speaker 6: Trump admitted surprise at the scale of Democratic victories, acknowledging
- 13:00Speaker 6: the opposition ran a strong campaign, and warning he will
- 13:03Speaker 6: quickly veto any legislation that contradicts his own administration's agenda.
- 13:08Speaker 8: I'm Sybil Wilkes.
- 13:09Speaker 2: Be informed. Be empowered.
- 13:24Speaker 3: Don't say that.
- 13:25Speaker 2: It's historical.
- 13:25Speaker 3: It's hysterical.
- 13:26Speaker 2: There's a lot of broads in state houses now.
- 13:29Speaker 8: Yep.
- 13:29Speaker 2: New York got one. Georgia got one. Ohio got one.
- 13:35Speaker 3: It's about to change around here.
- 13:38Speaker 1: Yeah, Ohio got one. Texas got one. New Mexico got one. Man,
- 13:43Speaker 1: and everybody's progressive except Byron Dollar. That's what I'm saying.
- 13:48Speaker 8: How in the world?
- 13:49Speaker 5: Shoot, booty.
- 13:50Speaker 2: I'm telling you, he ain't going to do it.
- 13:52Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 13:52Speaker 2: You got to let one in. Come on. He's a dummy.
- 13:55Speaker 1: They're going to be running all over that dude.
- 13:57Speaker 2: We got you in. Now do what we say.
- 13:58Speaker 1: And then, Byron, every once in a while, you got
- 14:04Speaker 1: to take that stick.
- 14:05Speaker 2: They got to be clean every once in a while.
- 14:06Speaker 2: You can't just.
- 14:09Speaker 1: Tim Scott going to be like, well, what am I
- 14:10Speaker 1: going to do? You know what you're going to do?
- 14:13Speaker 1: If that girl does good, you know what you're going
- 14:14Speaker 1: to do? You're going to be looking for work. You're
- 14:17Speaker 1: going to be looking for work.
- 14:18Speaker 6: Yeah.
