Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: It's the Dale Hughley Show, your 2026 edition. A mother
- 0:03Speaker 1: finds out their daughter lied. Well, let me let you hear.
- 0:06Speaker 2: Imagine being divorced for 10 years, living life, a peaceful life,
- 0:11Speaker 2: when your now grown daughter comes to you crying, saying, Mom,
- 0:15Speaker 2: I'm so sorry.
- 0:16Speaker 3: My stepdad never did touch me.
- 0:19Speaker 2: Dad put me.
- 0:20Speaker 4: Up to it because he was trying to get back
- 0:21Speaker 4: with you.
- 0:23Speaker 5: What's your response?
- 0:25Speaker 1: What do you think she should do?
- 0:27Speaker 6: This is Carly from Birmingham, Alabama. The first thing, I
- 0:30Speaker 6: think the mom should make the daughter write a letter
- 0:33Speaker 6: to the ex-stepdad to apologize for what she has done.
- 0:37Speaker 6: The mother needs to call up and tell him, you know,
- 0:41Speaker 6: she's apologized for accusing him for that, to clear his conscience,
- 0:44Speaker 6: to clear their conscience, and move on, because I'm sure
- 0:47Speaker 6: he will never get in that situation again with her again.
- 0:49Speaker 6: Probably not with another woman either because it's probably charred him.
- 0:52Speaker 6: You don't really know if they called the police, if
- 0:55Speaker 6: they had charges against him. You don't know any of that.
- 0:57Speaker 2: So if any of those things have happened, they.
- 0:58Speaker 6: Need to rectify that because they ruined this man.
- 1:02Speaker 7: Uh, she shouldn't be mad at the daughter. I would,
- 1:04Speaker 7: as if I was her, I'd be, you know, kind
- 1:06Speaker 7: of happy that the daughter said it, but you know, angry,
- 1:08Speaker 7: but the main person that both of them should be
- 1:11Speaker 7: angry at is the father for manipulating the little girl.
- 1:14Speaker 7: That little girl was innocent and she just wanted.
- 1:16Speaker 8: Her dad to be happy.
- 1:17Speaker 7: Uh, the daughter and the mother, I think equally should
- 1:21Speaker 7: do some petty back to him.
- 1:22Speaker 8: That's what I think.
- 1:24Speaker 2: I have a husband who did 15 years over a
- 1:27Speaker 2: little girl saying, oh, my uncle touched me. There was
- 1:31Speaker 2: no DNA, no proof of being touched. And then she says,
- 1:36Speaker 2: ask her grandmother, can I write a letter? Then, of course,
- 1:39Speaker 2: she said, well, I did.
- 1:40Speaker 1: You know, she did.
- 1:41Speaker 2: I only said that because I wanted my dad to
- 1:43Speaker 2: be mad. I only said that because I wanted my
- 1:45Speaker 2: mom to be mad. Well, Miss Fang, you've opened up
- 1:48Speaker 2: a can of worms. And so now this man, your uncle,
- 1:52Speaker 2: you had to sit 60 15 years in jail. Actually, 20,
- 1:56Speaker 2: because when he got out, he had to do that
- 1:57Speaker 2: five years. So, yeah, when people say stuff like that,
- 2:01Speaker 2: it affects everybody. And he had children himself before he
- 2:04Speaker 2: even went to jail. So for him, for girls to
- 2:07Speaker 2: do that type of stuff, it really affects the whole family,
- 2:10Speaker 2: not just her. or him and he had kids people
- 2:14Speaker 2: women need to not do that in little girl stuff
- 2:16Speaker 2: is vindictive and it kept you in the end yeah
- 2:20Speaker 2: because because it was oh my goodness can i write
- 2:22Speaker 2: a letter can i say something no you can't say
- 2:25Speaker 2: nothing you did that all on the line because you
- 2:27Speaker 2: wanted something and you didn't get what you wanted.
- 2:30Speaker 9: There would be no reconciliation. There would be only alienation.
- 2:35Speaker 9: That child, along with the going along with behest of
- 2:39Speaker 9: the father, being used by the father, could have got
- 2:43Speaker 9: that man thrown in jail. could have got that man
- 2:46Speaker 9: besmirched by the law. So there would be no reconciliation
- 2:52Speaker 9: or no forgiveness, period. And if the father stood alive,
- 2:57Speaker 9: I'd call him and flat.
- 2:58Speaker 2: Out blast him.
- 2:59Speaker 9: But no reconciliation or nothing like that. I ain't taking
- 3:03Speaker 9: no apologies.
- 3:04Speaker 3: With something like that, to tell that type of lie,
- 3:08Speaker 3: I would not forgive my daughter for doing that. to
- 3:10Speaker 3: destroy somebody's life, to destroy my marriage, and that's very selfish.
- 3:14Speaker 3: And even once a person gets their name clear, you
- 3:18Speaker 3: still have people want to believe it. And that's why
- 3:20Speaker 3: I always say with cases like that, everybody needs to
- 3:22Speaker 3: learn to be neutral. Everybody loves the judge and brush
- 3:26Speaker 3: the judge. And this is also why when I hear
- 3:29Speaker 3: about high-profile cases, I stay neutral. I want to know
- 3:33Speaker 3: who's telling the truth, who's changing stories, who's being manipulative,
- 3:37Speaker 3: who is uncredible, because that's one of the things you
- 3:39Speaker 3: start looking for, the changing of the stories, the manipulation, contradiction.
- 3:44Speaker 3: So yeah, I couldn't, I could not forgive my child
- 3:47Speaker 3: for doing that. I love her, but I couldn't forgive
- 3:49Speaker 3: her for doing that.
- 3:50Speaker 1: So you find out you and your husband or you
- 3:52Speaker 1: and your wife are related third cousins. Here's a little idea.
- 3:56Speaker 10: So you're going to leave me after five years just
- 3:58Speaker 10: because you don't know I'm your third cousin?
- 3:59Speaker 1: I'm still off that divorce.
- 4:01Speaker 6: For five years we've been together though.
- 4:02Speaker 1: I don't give a f * * * if it
- 4:03Speaker 1: was a century. It's over. What are you talking about?
- 4:06Speaker 9: But you love me.
- 4:07Speaker 1: Not no more. Third cousin and all. No, not no more.
- 4:11Speaker 1: It's over.
- 4:11Speaker 2: We just don't be cousins because I don't know what
- 4:13Speaker 2: you want me to say.
- 4:14Speaker 1: You ain't going nowhere.
- 4:15Speaker 8: We ain't going nowhere.
- 4:18Speaker 10: You just automatically stop loving somebody Because you find out
- 4:21Speaker 10: that they're your third cousin.
- 4:22Speaker 7: Yes Third cousin is a person you're related through If.
- 4:26Speaker 10: We already had a child If we already had a
- 4:29Speaker 10: child And our child wasn't.
- 4:30Speaker 7: That's the only thing that would stop Is you already
- 4:32Speaker 7: got a child If you don't got a child it's
- 4:34Speaker 7: a rat If you don't.
- 4:35Speaker 10: Got a child We could just get blood tests to
- 4:37Speaker 10: see how On the spectrum our child would.
- 4:41Speaker 7: Be All right, a third cousin is a person you
- 4:44Speaker 7: are related to through your shared great-great-grandparents.
- 4:48Speaker 1: Yes, great-great.
- 4:50Speaker 7: Or the children of your second cousin, like I said.
- 4:53Speaker 4: Correct, so yes, yes, we staying together.
- 4:56Speaker 1: What do you do? That was the question we posed
- 4:58Speaker 1: to you.
- 4:58Speaker 2: Okay, so Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon are third cousins. Yeah,
- 5:02Speaker 2: they found out they were third cousins on Finding Your Roots. So,
- 5:06Speaker 2: you know, hey, they're all right.
- 5:08Speaker 8: So my baby mama is my cousin, but only through marriage, though.
- 5:12Speaker 8: So my mama's sister married in today's family. Sticky situation.
- 5:20Speaker 8: Like I said, it's only through marriage, though. You know
- 5:22Speaker 8: what I'm saying? There ain't no type of blood that
- 5:23Speaker 8: we share.
- 5:25Speaker 10: Well, it's funny.
- 5:25Speaker 5: Me and my husband have had this conversation before because
- 5:29Speaker 5: our families.
- 5:30Speaker 11: look.
- 5:30Speaker 5: So similar to one another. So he says that since
- 5:35Speaker 5: it's done, it's done. And we've been together for over
- 5:38Speaker 5: 20 years. Me, myself, I would want a divorce because,
- 5:42Speaker 5: and I think.
- 5:42Speaker 10: That's more so because I was touched.
- 5:45Speaker 5: As a younger person by a family member. So therefore
- 5:48Speaker 5: it would not sit right with me.
- 5:51Speaker 3: So I think we would divorce, but he wouldn't want to.
- 5:55Speaker 7: As long as she didn't come from one of my mom's,
- 6:00Speaker 7: one of her sister's or her brother's kids, cool. Or
- 6:04Speaker 7: my dad says he didn't come from my daddy's sister
- 6:07Speaker 7: or brother's kids, cool. Everybody else feel game. I don't care.
- 6:11Speaker 7: But as long as they ain't in that category right there, oh, yeah,
- 6:13Speaker 7: we're going to keep banging. Yeah, straight like that.
- 6:16Speaker 9: Ain't no shame.
- 6:18Speaker 10: I've never dated a family member, but I had a
- 6:22Speaker 10: crush on my first cousin and he also did on me.
- 6:24Speaker 10: But this was because we did not know we were.
- 6:31Speaker 10: Let the kids know you're family because we didn't know
- 6:34Speaker 10: that we were related, but when we found out, it
- 6:36Speaker 10: was really awkward.
- 6:37Speaker 3: But we were younger.
- 6:39Speaker 10: Of course, nothing happened, but it's still kind of awkward
- 6:42Speaker 10: today because we hadn't seen each.
- 6:43Speaker 9: Other in years.
- 6:44Speaker 10: We had a family reunion last year, and it was
- 6:47Speaker 10: still a bit awkward. And I think his wife thought
- 6:49Speaker 10: I was somebody. She kind of picked up on it,
- 6:52Speaker 10: so she came over. I'm like, girl, that's my cousin.
- 6:54Speaker 10: Don't want him, but.
- 6:57Speaker 11: Yes, look, it depends on how far down the line
- 7:00Speaker 11: it is. Plus, I had the house of one of
- 7:03Speaker 11: my cousins, and she was the first cousin. But I
- 7:06Speaker 11: think we all, all men and some of the women,
- 7:09Speaker 11: have had the house of their cousins. So, like I said,
- 7:11Speaker 11: it depends on how far down the line it is.
- 7:14Speaker 3: It happened to me.
- 7:15Speaker 4: I was laying in bed with one of my exes,
- 7:18Speaker 4: and we were talking about our family members. And we
- 7:21Speaker 4: had an aunt with the same name, which I won't
- 7:23Speaker 4: say because they might hear it. But we broke up
- 7:25Speaker 4: that day. I also dated brothers that were half brothers
- 7:30Speaker 4: and had the same father. One I grew up with
- 7:33Speaker 4: and one I met as an adult. But they didn't know.
- 7:35Speaker 11: They were brothers until they were adults.
- 7:37Speaker 4: So I found that out, and he broke up with
- 7:40Speaker 4: me the next day. But I wasn't mad because, I mean,
- 7:43Speaker 4: I almost married each one of them.
- 7:45Speaker 9: It was crazy.
- 7:45Speaker 11: Black family secrets, they need to.
- 7:47Speaker 2: Cut it off.
- 7:48Speaker 1: Now it's time to give a deserving someone the Shoe
- 7:51Speaker 1: Booty of the Week Award. And now it's time for
- 7:55Speaker 1: the Shoe Booty of the Week Award. Katie Sharon Zachariah.
- 8:05Speaker 1: As an American political commentator for Newsmax, Zachariah became Deputy
- 8:11Speaker 1: Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs for the Department of Homeland
- 8:16Speaker 1: Security in February 2026. You want to be the it girl,
- 8:21Speaker 1: but you ain't got it. So why is the new
- 8:25Speaker 1: MAGA Barbie this week's recipient of the shoe booty of
- 8:28Speaker 1: the week award? She's the devil. She gets the shoe
- 8:33Speaker 1: booty because just like a lawyer, she's all cap.
- 8:38Speaker 9: What is it?
- 8:38Speaker 1: What do you mean? Donald the Dictator Todd's brand new secretary,
- 8:44Speaker 1: Laya Zachariah, had her first and last briefing dressed like
- 8:49Speaker 1: a flight attendant on Spirit Airlines. She ain't going to
- 8:53Speaker 1: that damn party.
- 8:53Speaker 2: That's all through it.
- 8:54Speaker 6: I don't care a.
- 8:55Speaker 1: Damn what you say. 14 minutes, three questions, and other
- 8:59Speaker 1: than looking and sounding like an AI Magabot, the entire
- 9:03Speaker 1: thing was spent aggressively kissing the Burger King's gravy tunnel.
- 9:09Speaker 9: Oh, Matt.
- 9:10Speaker 1: It was less a briefing and more like a bad
- 9:13Speaker 1: impression of Caroline Leavitt. Then reporters asked a simple question.
- 9:20Speaker 1: Where did you pass the bar exam? She's been introducing
- 9:23Speaker 1: herself as a lawyer for years. I object. She goes,
- 9:29Speaker 1: when I move to China, can we say all cap? Okay,
- 9:34Speaker 1: two big issues. Number one, nobody can find any record
- 9:39Speaker 1: of her passing the bar in any state in America.
- 9:42Speaker 5: Damn.
- 9:43Speaker 9: I can't see.
- 9:44Speaker 1: Number two, China does not let non-Chinese people take their
- 9:49Speaker 1: bar exam. Oh, hell no. So, either she completely forgot
- 9:55Speaker 1: you have to be Chinese to take the Chinese bar,
- 9:58Speaker 1: she drank at a bar in a chinese restaurant or
- 10:02Speaker 1: she just invented an entire legal career somewhere over the
- 10:07Speaker 1: pacific She was on the job for less than a week.
- 10:12Speaker 1: You ain't got no job. She was supposed to be
- 10:15Speaker 1: the new press secretary, but she looked more like a
- 10:20Speaker 1: deep press secretary. And that's why the shoe booty of
- 10:27Speaker 1: the week award goes to Katie Zachariah. Now here's a
- 10:35Speaker 1: swift kick in the ass.
