Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: One of my favorite albums by Well first off, I
- 0:04Speaker 1: excuse my favorite rapper Okay, and one of my favorite
- 0:09Speaker 1: songs of his, It's called the pecking Order. And in
- 0:12Speaker 1: the pecking Order, he says, even when we're playing with testing, like,
- 0:16Speaker 1: even when we're playing with testing like, there's not a moment,
- 0:19Speaker 1: even when it seems like we're playing around, we are not.
- 0:22Speaker 1: And I think that is true of white America. I
- 0:26Speaker 1: think it went from a roast at Netflix about George
- 0:31Speaker 1: Floyd to the Minnesota Republican Party given Derek Tavan George
- 0:37Speaker 1: Floyd's murderer.
- 0:38Speaker 2: A moment of silence. But if you look at.
- 0:41Speaker 1: Where we are and where we have been, comedy has
- 0:44Speaker 1: always been used to tell our story. Comedy's always been
- 0:51Speaker 1: used to, in some cases, demean us, whether it's Stephen
- 0:54Speaker 1: Fetchen or Amos Sinani, you know what I mean.
- 0:56Speaker 2: It's always been that.
- 0:57Speaker 1: It's always they've always used comedy to do it, and
- 1:00Speaker 1: this is no different. But it is always for a reason.
- 1:04Speaker 1: Even when it seems like it's just an innocuous.
- 1:07Speaker 2: Thing, it never is.
- 1:08Speaker 1: And any human being that would sympathize with another human
- 1:15Speaker 1: being while he kneels on another human being's neck for
- 1:18Speaker 1: nine minutes while he cries out for his mother. Is evil,
- 1:22Speaker 1: flat out. You're just the evil human being if you
- 1:25Speaker 1: are some way justifying it in your mind, and you
- 1:28Speaker 1: don't know what if you put it would get more
- 1:31Speaker 1: of a reaction if you put a dog down that way.
- 1:35Speaker 1: But that's the difference. It's like it went from just
- 1:38Speaker 1: a joke to oh, this thing that happened and because
- 1:42Speaker 1: that is what they've always used comedy for always, It's
- 1:46Speaker 1: never been like even now, if you look at what
- 1:48Speaker 1: happened to the ushering end of then I said this yesterday,
- 1:51Speaker 1: what happened with the ushering end of Donald Trump? Where
- 1:53Speaker 1: did he go to THEO Vaughn and Andrew Schultz and
- 1:56Speaker 1: Joe Rogan and Bill Maher. That's where he went right right.
- 2:01Speaker 1: So many a truth has spoken in jest, and generally
- 2:04Speaker 1: it's just about us. This is Black Music Month and
- 2:09Speaker 1: Pride months, so it's Black Pride.
- 2:10Speaker 2: Month, that's what I'm calling. It's all, you know, I'm
- 2:14Speaker 2: just kidding.
- 2:15Speaker 1: Remember that time we were in New York and I
- 2:17Speaker 1: had never been to New York at the Gate Parade

- 2:40Speaker 2: to get home? I said, no, I ain't taking it,
- 2:42Speaker 2: but they had a flow going by.
- 2:43Speaker 1: I'm like, nah, man, I can't do that.

- 3:55Speaker 2: Jazz Man, what men, can you please tell these good people?
- 3:59Speaker 3: What is well another I don't know kind of disservice
- 4:05Speaker 3: of justice which is thought by this particular black community.
- 4:08Speaker 4: And this is in South Carolina. I don't know if
- 4:10Speaker 4: you guys saw this.
- 4:11Speaker 3: Where the jury found Rick Chow not guilty in the
- 4:15Speaker 3: shooting death of a fourteen year old, a black fourteen
- 4:18Speaker 3: year old. Now, from what I understand, they say that
- 4:23Speaker 3: the guy with the kid was running right and he
- 4:26Speaker 3: was being chased by the owner.
- 4:28Speaker 4: But the owner says he was acting in.
- 4:30Speaker 3: Self defensive his son, which you know, Apparently the prosecutors
- 4:34Speaker 3: were like, you know, the the guy acted in anger
- 4:39Speaker 3: because he wrongly thought that the teen was stealing water, right,
- 4:43Speaker 3: and apparently the team pointed a gun I guess at
- 4:46Speaker 3: the sun. But then he dropped the gun, and the
- 4:48Speaker 3: father kept chasing him and shot him in the back,
- 4:51Speaker 3: and so he was acquitted.
- 4:52Speaker 2: I saw the video. He was running away long round
- 4:55Speaker 2: the carse had chase after him.
- 4:57Speaker 1: That happened a couple of times once that was in
- 4:59Speaker 1: that where the cops said that he the kid was
- 5:02Speaker 1: running way, he shot him in his back. Then in
- 5:04Speaker 1: South Carolina. Remember the dude said the guy had a
- 5:06Speaker 1: gun in South Carolina that jewelry. It took two times
- 5:08Speaker 1: to convict the cop that did it. So I think
- 5:10Speaker 1: it's just this is no different than Latajha Harley's.
- 5:13Speaker 2: It's just diff That's why even I think.
- 5:18Speaker 1: Ultimately this is kind of not This is not new,
- 5:22Speaker 1: that's retro, and it's very sad, justice very sad.
- 5:25Speaker 2: It is very sad.
- 5:27Speaker 3: Well, speaking of sad, you think that Diddy would be done,
- 5:31Speaker 3: but he's not. Apparently there are some new allegations that
- 5:34Speaker 3: have been submitted in La County. Basically it's under review
- 5:38Speaker 3: right now, but apparently some publicist says that back in
- 5:43Speaker 3: twenty twenty and twenty twenty one that Puffy sexually battered him.
- 5:49Speaker 4: Uh, and so you know.
- 5:51Speaker 2: This might have hurt him.
- 5:52Speaker 1: You didn't see that whole trial going on.
- 5:54Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Now he filed a police report in Florida
- 6:01Speaker 3: initially in September of twenty twenty five.
- 6:04Speaker 2: But if you didn't see that whole trial going on,
- 6:06Speaker 2: yeah you didn't.
- 6:08Speaker 1: The whole thing went on. You didn't see none of that.
- 6:12Speaker 1: And that's that's where it gets bad to me.
- 6:15Speaker 2: It got bad that video. Oh defect right right right,
- 6:21Speaker 2: it's bad to got.
- 6:22Speaker 4: Me check about that kes anyway, that's what's trending.
- 6:29Speaker 1: My favorite rappers, ice Cube, and one of my favorite
- 6:32Speaker 1: albums by ice Cube is called Warren Peace. Uh and
- 6:35Speaker 1: then uh, and it's uh the song that I really love.
- 6:38Speaker 1: I love the whole album, but the song I really
- 6:40Speaker 1: love is called Pecking Order. And then the song there's
- 6:43Speaker 1: a line that says, even when we're playing with testing,
- 6:45Speaker 1: flash to three weeks ago, we were watching how many
- 6:48Speaker 1: people watching George Floyd?
- 6:49Speaker 2: Excuse me? The Kevin Hart Rose where the George Floyd
- 6:51Speaker 2: joke was told, Uh and uh.
- 6:54Speaker 1: We flashed to three weeks later, the Republican Party having
- 6:59Speaker 1: a mono syde moment of silence for Derek Chauven who
- 7:01Speaker 1: killed George Floyd. Now fully, any human being that looks
- 7:06Speaker 1: at another human being while he kneels on his neck
- 7:08Speaker 1: for nine minutes and gasp and cries for his mother.
- 7:11Speaker 1: If you can sympathize with a manma that you are
- 7:14Speaker 1: evil like man like, you're evil, that is what it is.
- 7:17Speaker 2: You are evil.
- 7:19Speaker 1: And if you take Umbergs with that, that just proves
- 7:21Speaker 1: my point. But they've always used satire to kind of
- 7:25Speaker 1: malign us, always, always under the name of satire, always
- 7:29Speaker 1: under the name of it's just jokes, whether it's black
- 7:31Speaker 1: face or steppen Fetcher or amos and and he's always
- 7:34Speaker 1: been that way.
- 7:35Speaker 2: And what George Floyd and I said.
- 7:37Speaker 1: This yesterday represented was a moving forward America seeing itself
- 7:43Speaker 1: much like it had when it watched black people have
- 7:47Speaker 1: water hoses and being beat up in lunch counters or
- 7:50Speaker 1: watched Emmittial. It takes those kind of images for America
- 7:54Speaker 1: to see itself, and oftentimes when it does, it is
- 7:57Speaker 1: it is it is inspired.
- 7:59Speaker 2: To move to move forward.
- 8:01Speaker 1: But almost every time black people move forward, there's forward.
- 8:05Speaker 1: There's backlash every single time, every single time. I don't
- 8:09Speaker 1: care if it's breaking a home run record, I don't
- 8:11Speaker 1: care if it's becoming the first black president. I don't
- 8:13Speaker 1: care if it's moving to a job. I don't care
- 8:16Speaker 1: what it is. Whenever black people show any sign of
- 8:19Speaker 1: moving forward, there will be black backlash. And that is
- 8:22Speaker 1: what happened with George Floyd. He was a symbol of
- 8:25Speaker 1: America trying to rectify a situation and that invariably will
- 8:29Speaker 1: have backlash. And what they use as one of the
- 8:33Speaker 1: tools to fight the backlash so they wouldn't look it
- 8:35Speaker 1: wouldn't be so avert was comedy. They use the Theovons,
- 8:39Speaker 1: and the and the and the Andrews, schultzz and the
- 8:41Speaker 1: Joe Rogan's and the Bill Mahers. They use comedy. It
- 8:44Speaker 1: was just satire. It's just comedy. That's all it is,
- 8:48Speaker 1: is just coming. Is it ironic how fast we were
- 8:50Speaker 1: from it's just comedy, comedy to giving a moment of
- 8:53Speaker 1: silence for the murder of the of the joke, of
- 8:56Speaker 1: the victim of the joke.
- 8:58Speaker 2: Isn't that funny? It's always been that way always.
- 9:01Speaker 1: They've always used satire, under the name of satire, the
- 9:04Speaker 1: hospice of satire, to do these things, and they are
- 9:07Speaker 1: to dehumanize you and to desensitize you, because if you
- 9:10Speaker 1: could laugh, you can look away. It's never just innocurates.
- 9:14Speaker 1: It has always been that way, and I suspect it always. Well,
- 9:17Speaker 1: I'm on the road every single We're doing what I love.
- 9:19Speaker 1: I do comedy every single week somewhere, and I love
- 9:22Speaker 1: amy and I would never tell somebody what to do.
- 9:24Speaker 1: But let's not forget what we are seeing. We are
- 9:27Speaker 1: seeing what has consistently happened. Because even though we under
- 9:31Speaker 1: the hospice of just jokes, look at what's happened. All
- 9:34Speaker 1: the characters you used to see of us, that was
- 9:36Speaker 1: all just jokes. Everything they beligned with Stephen Fench is
- 9:40Speaker 1: just jokes. Blackface just jokes. George Floyd just jokes until
- 9:44Speaker 1: it gives credence and a license for grown men to
- 9:48Speaker 1: stand up and have a moment of silence for a
- 9:50Speaker 1: man who murdered a man while he was screaming for
- 9:53Speaker 1: his mother. Even when they plan they tested. That's a
- 9:58Speaker 1: little note from the ged section of.
- 10:00Speaker 2: Show She's Jazz, She's Smart. It's the Jazzy report on
- 10:06Speaker 2: the D. L. Hugley Show.
- 10:09Speaker 3: A federal judge said Donald Trump must take his name
- 10:13Speaker 3: from the JFK Memorial Center for the Performing Arts, in
- 10:17Speaker 3: a ruling that also blocked plans to shutter the facility
- 10:20Speaker 3: for two years of renovations. The decision came less than
- 10:23Speaker 3: a year after Trump dismissed the entire board and named
- 10:26Speaker 3: new board members, who in turn elected him chairman.
- 10:30Speaker 1: Now do you know why somebody said this and I
- 10:33Speaker 1: believe it to be true. Do you know why Donald
- 10:35Speaker 1: Trump puts his name on everything? Because he knows how
- 10:39Speaker 1: poorly he's going to be looked at by history?
- 10:41Speaker 2: Correct? You know, he's no.
- 10:43Speaker 1: Different than Stylin. Now, Stylin grad named cities after herself.
- 10:46Speaker 1: He wants his name on money. He wants his name
- 10:49Speaker 1: on buildings, he wants his name on surplus checks, he
- 10:52Speaker 1: wants his name on airports, he wants his name on
- 10:55Speaker 1: on cal coins, he wants his name on money battleships.
- 11:00Speaker 1: He wants his name because he knows how poorly he'll
- 11:03Speaker 1: be thought of.
- 11:04Speaker 2: He knows, and he's afraid. He wants to set the
- 11:07Speaker 2: teen before himself. That's right there.
- 11:10Speaker 3: Well, according to a new study, no matter how old
- 11:12Speaker 3: you are, your liver is always roughly less than three
- 11:14Speaker 3: years old. That's because the liver is constantly renewing itself
- 11:18Speaker 3: and replaces itself equally well, and young and old people
- 11:22Speaker 3: the liver clears toxins from our bodies, putting it at
- 11:24Speaker 3: risk of regular injury. And to overcome this problem, it
- 11:27Speaker 3: has a unique ability to regenerate.
- 11:30Speaker 2: That's why you can take a piece of a liver
- 11:31Speaker 2: for a trustfer. Yeah that's right, Yeah, that's right. Thank
- 11:35Speaker 2: you for that.
- 11:36Speaker 1: This is very interesting and I think that a lot
- 11:39Speaker 1: of people who are in the workplace, and I might
- 11:40Speaker 1: know this. So a woman she is frustrated because somebody
- 11:44Speaker 1: keeps stealing her food from the office fridge, which you know,
- 11:48Speaker 1: if you work in the you know, I hadn't had
- 11:51Speaker 1: a job like that a very long time. But so
- 11:54Speaker 1: she put a laxative in her lunch just to uncover this. Oh,
- 11:59Speaker 1: now she wrong for sabotaging her own is her own food.
- 12:03Speaker 2: Maybe she was irregular, could have been true.
- 12:07Speaker 1: Maybe she was irregular, you know, maybe she was trying
- 12:10Speaker 1: to straighten herself out. Could be you know, maybe that
- 12:14Speaker 1: activita wasn't worth, maybe a line wasn't it.
- 12:18Speaker 3: Is her, she could do with what she wants to.
- 12:20Speaker 3: You had no business put your grubby paws on it. Yeah,
- 12:23Speaker 3: so you think she was wrong. I think it's hilarious.
- 12:25Speaker 3: And all you got to do is wait, by the bathroom.
- 12:27Speaker 1: Hey, Keisha, go to.
- 12:28Speaker 2: The bathroom a lot.
- 12:29Speaker 4: What's going on in there?
- 12:30Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, it was somebody for us mine.
- 12:35Speaker 1: So we're gonna that's the call. Do you think that
- 12:37Speaker 1: she was wrong for spiking her own food? With Alexi
- 12:39Speaker 1: of eight seven seven two four two two four two.
- 12:42Speaker 3: Six at this up, on Twitter, at dal Hugy Radio
- 12:44Speaker 3: or on Facebook the d O Hugly Show on the website,
- 12:46Speaker 3: of course is the d Hugo.
- 12:48Speaker 1: Well, I would under you know, I think that that'll
- 12:50Speaker 1: learn it will. Yeah, that'll, that'll, that'll that'll be a
- 12:53Speaker 1: teach That wasn't That's one of.
- 12:54Speaker 2: The little teachable moments.
- 12:55Speaker 4: You're just saying the.
- 12:55Speaker 2: Question we're asking. So a woman she says this.
- 12:59Speaker 5: Now, imagine working night shift, twelve hours feet hurt and hungry,
- 13:07Speaker 5: and every time.
- 13:08Speaker 1: You get here, your food is gone.
- 13:11Speaker 5: Food just be banishing like it's the food theory in here.
- 13:14Speaker 5: But jokes on them tonight.
- 13:16Speaker 2: I put laxatives in that.
- 13:18Speaker 5: So I'm gonna be watching that bathroom all night, stay tuned.
- 13:24Speaker 1: So she spiked her food, it's her food. She could
- 13:26Speaker 1: do whatever she want. Do you think that she was wrong?
- 13:28Speaker 1: Now here's the thing, if somebody said, say, for instance,
- 13:32Speaker 1: had an adverse reaction to that, and they forgot very sick,
- 13:36Speaker 1: or even you don't have to go to the hospital,
- 13:38Speaker 1: or something serious happened.
- 13:40Speaker 2: She probably could go to jail for that.
- 13:41Speaker 4: I don't think she could. I don't know.
- 13:44Speaker 2: I don't think she could because.
- 13:45Speaker 3: It's her property. It's her property, it's her food. If
- 13:48Speaker 3: she wrote her name on it, right, why are you
- 13:51Speaker 3: in it.
- 13:51Speaker 2: In the first place? She could go to jail for this.
- 13:53Speaker 2: I don't think she can.
- 13:56Speaker 4: I don't think she.
- 13:56Speaker 2: Can go to jail. He put a booby trap in
- 13:59Speaker 2: his own or because but that's different. That's totally different.
- 14:02Speaker 2: It's my property.
- 14:03Speaker 4: No, no, no, I think that's I think that that's
- 14:06Speaker 4: totally different.
- 14:07Speaker 2: Nobody, but you put it in a community refrigerator.
- 14:12Speaker 4: Got my name on it, that's mine.
- 14:14Speaker 1: Yeah, let's research that one good. I don't know that
- 14:20Speaker 1: that a stint sole on a paper bag is a
- 14:22Speaker 1: binding contract. Yeah, everybody knows a little sticky you know
- 14:27Speaker 1: that said this is Keisha's is everybody knows that that's
- 14:30Speaker 1: legally binding. We're gonna go to our social media platform especially, Okay,
- 14:33Speaker 1: did I think they were wrong? She was wrong with that,
- 14:35Speaker 1: so we got Stacey even Massachusetts, and Stacey said, well
- 14:39Speaker 1: as the ancients, as the ancient saying goes play stupid
- 14:41Speaker 1: games when stupid present. Yes, yeah, you know what you
- 14:44Speaker 1: don't need. You don't need the anima. Now this town

- 15:04Speaker 3: know what your kitchen looks like, do you have cats
- 15:06Speaker 3: on the on the counter.

- 15:47Speaker 1: even need to get to the copor.
- 15:49Speaker 3: Well, the thing is I poisoned my food. Maybe, like

- 15:53Speaker 3: I did this for myself and you you're just a
- 15:55Speaker 3: victim of it. You should have been eating my food.
- 15:57Speaker 3: That's my medicine with my name on it.
