Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: A lot of stuff is going on. Of course, we
- 0:02Speaker 1: know now that.
- 0:05Speaker 2: Nolan Wells' mother, well, the thing that's interesting about all
- 0:08Speaker 2: of this is they still haven't provided the missing parts
- 0:14Speaker 2: from the.
- 0:14Speaker 1: Autopsy, right?
- 0:15Speaker 3: Right. Well, what they said was his body, I guess
- 0:19Speaker 3: it was right in line with someone who had drowned.
- 0:23Speaker 3: That's all they said.
- 0:25Speaker 1: That doesn't answer a question.
- 0:26Speaker 3: Well, the grand jury seems to believe that now that
- 0:29Speaker 3: there are no charges are going to be brought against
- 0:31Speaker 3: anybody because of what they did find and all of
- 0:34Speaker 3: the evidence that they did look over.
- 0:37Speaker 1: But we don't trust Mississippi.
- 0:38Speaker 3: No, of course not.
- 0:39Speaker 4: Come on.
- 0:40Speaker 1: Last time I got just in Mississippi was the movie
- 0:42Speaker 1: Time to Kill.
- 0:43Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 0:44Speaker 1: And where's Matthew McConaughey?
- 0:46Speaker 3: Exactly.
- 0:48Speaker 2: The last time that that's that's just so I don't
- 0:51Speaker 2: trust Mississippi at all. So let me let me get
- 0:54Speaker 2: this straight. The young girl who was hung, they found a.
- 0:59Speaker 1: Murderer for. The dude who came up drowning, they didn't. Correct.
- 1:03Speaker 1: So it was a black guy who murdered who they're
- 1:07Speaker 1: saying or charging with or attempting to charge with. That
- 1:11Speaker 1: is correct.
- 1:12Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:13Speaker 2: Isn't it funny how people are more mad at a
- 1:17Speaker 2: mother trying to get justice than a mother slaughtering her children?
- 1:20Speaker 3: Isn't that terrible?
- 1:21Speaker 4: It is.
- 1:22Speaker 1: But it's so Mississippi. I don't trust Mississippi at all.
- 1:25Speaker 2: I don't I don't I think that they have they
- 1:29Speaker 2: have a horrible track record when it comes to the
- 1:33Speaker 2: lives of black people. As a matter of fact, the
- 1:35Speaker 2: grand jury, she's a district attorney. What they did was
- 1:38Speaker 2: take all the political power out of it. They run Jackson, Mississippi.
- 1:43Speaker 2: There are no black people that help run Jackson.
- 1:44Speaker 6: Right.
- 1:45Speaker 1: If I'm if I'm mistaken, I'm mistaken. Yeah.
- 1:48Speaker 7: I know they passed a law that, yeah, I know
- 1:51Speaker 7: you got elected officials and jab, but we're going to
- 1:53Speaker 7: oversee you with the state or something like that.
- 1:55Speaker 2: So I don't trust your court system. I don't trust
- 1:57Speaker 2: your water. And I damn sure don't trust your justice.
- 2:00Speaker 3: Nothing.
- 2:01Speaker 1: It's really sad. It's very sad.
- 2:04Speaker 2: My mother, you're more angry at a mother for trying
- 2:07Speaker 2: to get justice for her children than offering them.
- 2:09Speaker 1: That's insane. Happy birthday to Jermaine Dupri. Happy birthday to
- 2:13Speaker 1: Anthony Mackie.
- 2:13Speaker 2: Happy birthday to Lisa Rae McCoy. Happy birthday to Bruce Springsteen.
- 2:17Speaker 2: Happy birthday to Matt Kemp. Happy birthday to Julio Iglesias.
- 2:20Speaker 2: Happy birthday to Lazy Bone. Happy birthday to Jordan Woods.
- 2:24Speaker 2: Happy birthday to Hasan Minhaj. Happy birthday to Ethan Harris.
- 2:28Speaker 2: Yusuf Salam on When They See Us. Happy birthday to
- 2:32Speaker 2: Jason Alexander. George Costanza on Seinfeld. Happy birthday to Brandon
- 2:36Speaker 2: Victor Dixon. Terry Silver on Power. Happy birthday to Shy McBride.
- 2:40Speaker 2: Happy birthday to Chris Johnson in the NFL. He has
- 2:43Speaker 2: MS or Parkinson's, right?
- 2:46Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 2:46Speaker 1: Yeah, that's sad.
- 2:48Speaker 2: Happy birthday, possibly, of course, to the one and only
- 2:50Speaker 2: Ray Charles. I did a gig for him years ago
- 2:53Speaker 2: in Fresno. And he had this role manager named Mother.
- 2:57Speaker 1: We called him Mother.
- 2:58Speaker 2: And they used to take champagne buckets. Instead of going
- 3:01Speaker 2: to the bathroom, the stage would be surrounded with champagne buckets.
- 3:05Speaker 1: And the... The band was just peeing the buckets.
- 3:08Speaker 5: Instead of going to the bathroom.
- 3:09Speaker 3: Who had to empty the buckets?
- 3:10Speaker 1: The people.
- 3:11Speaker 2: Well, it started because they could never go to the bathroom.
- 3:15Speaker 2: They started in Jim Crow and they couldn't go to
- 3:17Speaker 2: the bathroom. So now it's just a tradition they keep.
- 3:19Speaker 2: So I guess the stagehands do it.
- 3:22Speaker 4: It's disgusting.
- 3:22Speaker 1: The stagehands.
- 3:23Speaker 3: What's in this bucket?
- 3:24Speaker 5: Don't drink that.
- 3:25Speaker 8: I know. Don't drink that.
- 3:26Speaker 5: Don't drink that.
- 3:27Speaker 1: That's not Cristal. That's not good. This Cristal tastes like ammonia.
- 3:30Speaker 1: It does. Yeah, I bet.
- 3:34Speaker 2: And happy birthday to John Coltrane. And happy birthday to
- 3:38Speaker 2: the one and only Mickey Rooney. We have a great
- 3:41Speaker 2: show lined up for you. Of course, Jasmine will tell
- 3:43Speaker 2: us what's trending. I'm going to have a little note
- 3:44Speaker 2: from the GED section on the DL Hughley Show. The
- 3:51Speaker 2: countdown is on. One Voyage 2026 hosted by Ricky Spiley.
- 3:56Speaker 2: Six days, one incredible ship, and only a few cabins
- 3:58Speaker 2: are left. The concerts, the food, and the experiences. I'm
- 4:01Speaker 2: telling you, you'll want to hear about it afterwards. Call
- 4:04Speaker 2: 214-495-1963 to secure your cabin at a special price. Log
- 4:08Speaker 2: on to OneVoyageCruise.com for all the details. Jazz man.
- 4:12Speaker 9: Glad man.
- 4:13Speaker 1: Tell these good people what's trending.
- 4:14Speaker 3: Nicole Hannah-Jones, you remember her from the 1619 Project. Yes,
- 4:17Speaker 3: of course. People are very upset with her. Well, not everybody.
- 4:21Speaker 3: But actually, this has created a conversation that we we
- 4:24Speaker 3: actually have had this on the show. And that is
- 4:27Speaker 3: we have many of them. And one of which we
- 4:29Speaker 3: talked about, if you are a person of means, especially
- 4:32Speaker 3: specifically a person of color with means, do you stay
- 4:36Speaker 3: in your community or go outside of that? So, you know, obviously,
- 4:40Speaker 3: Nicole and her husband do well, but they they sent
- 4:44Speaker 3: their children to school in New York to public schools.
- 4:47Speaker 3: And for whatever reason, it sparked like an intense conversation
- 4:50Speaker 3: about race and privilege and, you know, parental responsibility in
- 4:53Speaker 3: terms of, you know, should you have sent them to
- 4:55Speaker 3: a better school? And so they've had this whole conversation online.
- 4:59Speaker 3: Even her daughter jumped in and said, basically, I wish
- 5:02Speaker 3: you would have put me in a place where I
- 5:04Speaker 3: could have gotten a better education.
- 5:05Speaker 1: And she was like, well, this ungrateful little girl. No. Right.
- 5:10Speaker 1: But I mean, Ryan told me one time, all you
- 5:12Speaker 1: ever did for me was pay for my education. You
- 5:14Speaker 1: mean that $ 250, 000? She went to some nice schools. Yes,
- 5:17Speaker 1: she did.
- 5:18Speaker 3: But, you know, Nicole's point of view was basically, look,
- 5:20Speaker 3: you know, I wanted you to make sure that you were,
- 5:22Speaker 3: you know, you know, in a place of culture. You
- 5:25Speaker 3: understood where we came from. And then as she got older,
- 5:28Speaker 3: her plan was to put her in better schools. And,
- 5:30Speaker 3: you know, of course, her daughter made the grace to
- 5:31Speaker 3: do so. But she was basically like, you know, I
- 5:33Speaker 3: wish you had a very fine schools. And a lot
- 5:36Speaker 3: of people on social media was like, how dare you?
- 5:38Speaker 3: You got the money. You got the means. You should
- 5:40Speaker 3: have put her in a private school.
- 5:41Speaker 4: Wow.
- 5:41Speaker 2: Wow.
- 5:41Speaker 10: Wow.
- 5:41Speaker 4: Wow. Wow.
- 5:42Speaker 3: And other people were like, it's good that you allow
- 5:44Speaker 3: them to see, you know.
- 5:45Speaker 2: One of the reasons people move to some of the
- 5:47Speaker 2: neighborhoods they move to is because of school districts. Like
- 5:50Speaker 2: Calabasas has the lowest version of school districts among the
- 5:54Speaker 2: finest school districts in the country. Why would I pay
- 5:55Speaker 2: $ 40, 000 a child?
- 5:57Speaker 5: Thank you.
- 5:58Speaker 1: That's crazy.
- 5:59Speaker 5: Right.
- 5:59Speaker 1: Just because I can do it.
- 6:01Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 6:03Speaker 1: I think.
- 6:04Speaker 3: I mean, I see the conundrum there because, you know,
- 6:07Speaker 3: obviously we know schools, public schools don't always get funded
- 6:10Speaker 3: the way Other school, you know, other schools do. And so,
- 6:14Speaker 3: you know, it can kind of put your kid at
- 6:16Speaker 3: a disadvantage. We're seeing a lot of teachers on social
- 6:18Speaker 3: media talking about how, you know, there are a lot
- 6:20Speaker 3: of kids who can't read or can't pronounce big words
- 6:23Speaker 3: and they just pass them right on through, you.
- 6:25Speaker 4: Know, but.
- 6:26Speaker 2: Well, yeah, that's because I think the I literally think
- 6:30Speaker 2: that there is a attempt because they want just a
- 6:34Speaker 2: solidly worker class.
- 6:36Speaker 1: And a and a and a owner class. They don't
- 6:38Speaker 1: want so they don't need you educated.
- 6:41Speaker 2: They need you to just knock these widgets down or
- 6:44Speaker 2: do whatever it is, the menial tasks they want you
- 6:46Speaker 2: to do.
- 6:46Speaker 1: They don't want you educated.
- 6:47Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 6:48Speaker 2: As evidenced by the fact that they slashed the budget.
- 6:50Speaker 1: Yeah. So, constantly.
- 6:52Speaker 3: I mean, I would think that... I mean, I would want...
- 6:55Speaker 3: best for my son, you know, to put him in.
- 6:57Speaker 1: If I could have recorded at the time. Where did
- 6:59Speaker 1: she go to school? I don't know.
- 7:02Speaker 3: I don't think so.
- 7:03Speaker 1: She worked her way out of it. Okay, well, you'll
- 7:05Speaker 1: do it too.
- 7:06Speaker 3: And by the way, her daughter did work her way
- 7:08Speaker 3: out and got into a nice school, you know, but
- 7:11Speaker 3: she was like, you know, I don't know why you
- 7:12Speaker 3: didn't put me in a better funded school.
- 7:14Speaker 1: Because you're ungrateful. I can already tell she's ungrateful.
- 7:16Speaker 8: You can tell.
- 7:16Speaker 1: It's just max of ungratefulness.
- 7:18Speaker 3: Speaking of ungrateful, people are saying BET is ungrateful for
- 7:20Speaker 3: the contributions of black journalists. Apparently, they I don't know
- 7:25Speaker 3: why they would do this, but they erased decades of
- 7:28Speaker 3: cultural documentation, all kinds of articles and everything from there.
- 7:33Speaker 1: Everything. Interviews.
- 7:34Speaker 3: They erased decades of things. And they were like, I mean,
- 7:37Speaker 3: they went all the way back 25 years and got
- 7:39Speaker 3: rid of everything.
- 7:40Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 7:40Speaker 2: People are like, why would you do that? Probably because
- 7:43Speaker 2: that corporate masters didn't care about it.
- 7:45Speaker 5: They're all by a Viacom?
- 7:46Speaker 3: Yes, they are.
- 7:47Speaker 2: Probably because the corporate masters didn't give a damn about it.
- 7:51Speaker 1: That's right.
- 7:51Speaker 2: It's always like when people move to Harlem. They don't
- 7:53Speaker 2: want to call it Harlem anymore. So that's, you know.
- 7:56Speaker 5: They are erasing our history everywhere. What are you talking about?
- 7:59Speaker 1: What do I care about these jigaboos and Donnie Simpson?
- 8:00Speaker 3: Yeah, but you would think something called Black Entertainment TV.
- 8:03Speaker 1: We need all the time.
- 8:04Speaker 2: 25 years ago, it was just Common View and Miss
- 8:06Speaker 2: Cleo and Donnie Simpson.
- 8:07Speaker 1: That's it.
- 8:08Speaker 5: We don't own them.
- 8:08Speaker 1: Nuh-uh.
- 8:10Speaker 12: Your friend, too.
- 8:11Speaker 3: What's her name?
- 8:12Speaker 9: Jackie.
- 8:13Speaker 1: Yeah. Jackie Reed doing black news. It wasn't like a
- 8:16Speaker 1: whole bunch of stuff to erase. I don't know.
- 8:17Speaker 5: They say it was a lot of interviews.
- 8:19Speaker 1: 800 commercials.
- 8:20Speaker 12: You know what?
- 8:20Speaker 5: And that's what's trending.
- 8:21Speaker 3: Forget it.
- 8:23Speaker 2: Nothing has been more demonstrative of how mothers in America
- 8:28Speaker 2: are treated based on how the country sees them. This
- 8:32Speaker 2: is a tale of two mothers. One, of course, was
- 8:36Speaker 2: a mother who slaughtered all three of her children. And
- 8:39Speaker 2: she was greeted as a welcoming hero. She was greeted
- 8:43Speaker 2: with T-shirts and prayers and lots and lots of money.
- 8:47Speaker 2: She murdered her children and they was outpouring of understanding
- 8:53Speaker 2: as to how this could happen. The other one is
- 8:56Speaker 2: seeking justice for a child she lost. And it's a
- 8:59Speaker 2: deafening silence. There is a silence that is almost palpable.
- 9:04Speaker 2: Someone murders their children. They receive the open arms and understanding.
- 9:11Speaker 2: Someone loses a child under mysterious circumstances and they get
- 9:16Speaker 2: recrimination and accusations. That is where we are in America.
- 9:21Speaker 2: One didn't get the answer they wanted, which was a
- 9:24Speaker 2: guilty plea, a not guilty plea. The other one didn't
- 9:27Speaker 2: get an answer at all as to what definitively happened
- 9:30Speaker 2: to my child. It is amazing how our view of
- 9:34Speaker 2: what mothers look like depend on our view of them.
- 9:38Speaker 2: I've heard people refer to the young woman who murdered
- 9:41Speaker 2: her as a loving mother. I don't know that love
- 9:44Speaker 2: equates to what I've seen, but I do know that
- 9:47Speaker 2: the mother who lost her child and is seeking justice
- 9:49Speaker 2: for her child and seeking answers for her child is
- 9:52Speaker 2: being derided.
- 9:54Speaker 1: Imagine that.
- 9:55Speaker 2: Imagine a country that celebrates a mother taking a child
- 9:58Speaker 2: and still calls her mother but derides one who only
- 10:01Speaker 2: wants the answers nothing is more stark in America than
- 10:05Speaker 2: what's going on right now a tale of two mothers
- 10:09Speaker 2: that's a little note from the GED section it's the D.L.
- 10:11Speaker 1: Hughley show she's.
- 10:12Speaker 4: Jazzed she smiles it's the jazzy report on the D.L.
- 10:18Speaker 9: Hughley show.
- 10:21Speaker 3: Fiji has declared a national HIV emergency situation as it
- 10:25Speaker 3: grapples with surging cases, partly driven by a growing methamphetamine problem.
- 10:31Speaker 3: One in every 60 adults are now estimated to have HIV,
- 10:34Speaker 3: bucking a global trend of falling rates of the incurable
- 10:37Speaker 3: but treatable virus. Fiji declared an outbreak of the virus
- 10:40Speaker 3: back in January 2025.
- 10:41Speaker 9: Bam.
- 10:41Speaker 3: One in 60.
- 10:42Speaker 1: One in 60. One, two, three, four. You get it.
- 10:49Speaker 1: You get it.
- 10:50Speaker 5: It is a romantic island.
- 10:52Speaker 3: Well, it is.
- 10:53Speaker 1: However. You know what they don't have in Fiji? Oh,
- 10:55Speaker 1: that's not Fiji. Fiji's beautiful, isn't it?
- 10:58Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 10:58Speaker 1: People want to go there, right?
- 10:59Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 11:00Speaker 3: Obviously they want to go. Who went to Fiji?
- 11:02Speaker 1: You went to Fiji, didn't you?
- 11:03Speaker 3: I don't think so.
- 11:03Speaker 1: When you fell and hit your head, that wasn't Fiji?
- 11:06Speaker 3: No, I don't think so.
- 11:06Speaker 1: It was Fiji.
- 11:07Speaker 5: She can't remember.
- 11:08Speaker 1: Did I go to Fiji? Yeah, Fiji.
- 11:09Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
- 11:10Speaker 3: See what happens when you fall and hit your head?
- 11:12Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 11:13Speaker 1: I had a concussion.
- 11:14Speaker 3: I don't remember.
- 11:14Speaker 5: Fiji. Fiji. I thought it was El Segundo.
- 11:18Speaker 1: Fiji, that's an apple and a fennel.
- 11:21Speaker 3: Anyway, researchers say they've discovered what makes people more irresistible
- 11:25Speaker 3: to mosquitoes than others. People had recently consumed beer... Or
- 11:29Speaker 3: smoked weed were 44% more attractive to mosquitoes. That's what's
- 11:33Speaker 3: going on. You hear a mosquito bumping gin and juice.
- 11:37Speaker 3: And they say if you wear sunscreen, you get less
- 11:39Speaker 3: mosquito bites.
- 11:41Speaker 7: What?
- 11:43Speaker 1: You drink what?
- 11:44Speaker 3: I didn't say if you drink. Look at you thinking.
- 11:46Speaker 3: I said if you apply sunscreen.
- 11:48Speaker 13: Yeah.
- 11:48Speaker 2: Remember they used to sing Skin So Soft? That's not true.
- 11:51Speaker 2: And they bought copious amounts of Skin So Soft.
- 11:53Speaker 1: That's not true.
- 11:53Speaker 3: Is it not true?
- 11:54Speaker 1: It is not true.
- 11:55Speaker 3: I thought it was, actually.
- 11:56Speaker 1: All right, Google it. It's not true.
- 11:57Speaker 3: I will Google it. Let me do it right now.
- 11:59Speaker 1: So, of course, people are still talking about.
- 12:00Speaker 2: Shaquille O'Neal being named an honorary FBI agent. This dude
- 12:03Speaker 2: jumped his right. Remember how, who was it that gave
- 12:07Speaker 2: their birthright up for a bowl of red?
- 12:10Speaker 3: A bowl of bread?
- 12:11Speaker 1: A bowl of red in the Bible.
- 12:13Speaker 2: There was the two brothers, Esau and who was it?
- 12:19Speaker 3: Abednego?
- 12:20Speaker 1: No. He gave up his birthright for a bowl of red, well,
- 12:27Speaker 1: basically stew.
- 12:27Speaker 3: Let me look it up for you real quick.
- 12:30Speaker 2: And Shaq gave up his prestige for a badge from
- 12:33Speaker 2: Paw Patrol.
- 12:34Speaker 1: It's crazy.
- 12:35Speaker 8: Hmm.
- 12:36Speaker 3: Oh, there it is.
- 12:37Speaker 5: Esau.
- 12:37Speaker 1: That's what I said, Esau.
- 12:39Speaker 3: Esau.
- 12:39Speaker 2: Do you think many people at Crimson Cross, how do
- 12:42Speaker 2: you feel about Shaq accepting that award? So, of course,
- 12:46Speaker 2: Shaq accepted an award from Cash Patel, who is probably
- 12:50Speaker 2: the worst FBI agent director in history. I don't know
- 12:53Speaker 2: how you cross-eyed FBI director. Crime is going down. No,
- 12:59Speaker 2: it's right where your eyes meet.
- 13:00Speaker 1: It's right there. I don't understand what he got for it.
- 13:05Speaker 1: It's so craving.
- 13:06Speaker 2: It's such a, all that prestige, all that cash. And
- 13:09Speaker 2: what they do, they're very good at sussing out who
- 13:13Speaker 2: will be amenable to that.
- 13:14Speaker 1: They're very good. And they give them trinkets. You know,
- 13:18Speaker 1: like what they say, tokens get spent. And they give
- 13:20Speaker 1: them to them. I'm not kidding. I'm like, he ain't
- 13:23Speaker 1: made a move this bad shit since I am.
- 13:24Speaker 14: Yeah.
- 13:27Speaker 1: We're going to go to our social media platform. What
- 13:28Speaker 1: are they saying out there? Especially.
- 13:29Speaker 4: Okay.
- 13:30Speaker 1: So we got Jackson from Boston and Jackson said, well,
- 13:32Speaker 1: hopefully he can police people better than he can shoot
- 13:34Speaker 1: free throws. It's not real.
- 13:35Speaker 2: You know, party city going to have a bunch of
- 13:37Speaker 2: those badges too.
- 13:39Speaker 7: Oh yeah.
- 13:41Speaker 1: From cash for tail of all. That's what I'm saying.
- 13:44Speaker 1: Oh my God.
- 13:45Speaker 2: And the thing about it is when this administration is done,
- 13:47Speaker 2: they're going to go down in the infamy. It's like
- 13:50Speaker 2: Bill Moore accepting the Mark train award. These people get
- 13:52Speaker 2: so desperate and craving. I don't understand it.
- 13:54Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree.
- 13:55Speaker 2: And he didn't. I could see Bill Maher. I could
- 13:57Speaker 2: see because he's a white guy. He's kind of getting
- 13:59Speaker 2: more MAGA-esque as he gets along. And he really wanted
- 14:03Speaker 2: that award. And probably the only way he would have
- 14:05Speaker 2: gotten it is from Trump. But everybody holds Shaquille in
- 14:13Speaker 2: high esteem. And, you know, you could tell how he
- 14:16Speaker 2: knew how bad it was playing because he went after
- 14:18Speaker 2: OG Matt 5-1-0 from up in Oakland.
- 14:22Speaker 1: And what he did was call him broke. I mean,
- 14:25Speaker 1: everybody doesn't have your... Didn't you start off that way?
- 14:28Speaker 3: In a broke apartment, but you know.
- 14:30Speaker 1: Didn't you start off that way?
- 14:31Speaker 3: He straightened him out and said, first of all, I
- 14:33Speaker 3: don't live in an apartment. I live in a house
- 14:35Speaker 3: and I own this house.
- 14:37Speaker 1: Period. I just think your answer, Eve, it was more
- 14:40Speaker 1: elitist and more....
- 14:43Speaker 2: Um, um, hottie than it needed to be. You knew
- 14:47Speaker 2: that apparently people are striking a nerve. If you were confident, you,
- 14:50Speaker 2: you could see that you got nothing for it. And
- 14:54Speaker 2: I think that when people get into a position like that,
- 14:56Speaker 2: what they always do is the snoops and the Nicki
- 14:59Speaker 2: Minaj's and the, and the, and the, uh, and the Shaq,
- 15:03Speaker 2: They're they're held in high esteem in the community for
- 15:06Speaker 2: by and large.
- 15:07Speaker 1: Nelly people, you know, I mean, like them, but it ain't. Well,
- 15:11Speaker 1: you know, I mean, luminary.
- 15:12Speaker 3: Well, not only that, I think you might expect it
- 15:14Speaker 3: more from Nelly than you would Shaq, because didn't Shaq
- 15:18Speaker 3: drop a shoe for low income people?
- 15:21Speaker 14: Yeah.
- 15:21Speaker 1: And then he puts it in.
- 15:23Speaker 3: Exactly. So, I mean, we expect a little bit more
- 15:26Speaker 3: from Shaq.
- 15:26Speaker 1: Sorry, but we do.
- 15:28Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 15:28Speaker 1: I mean, I can see even, you know, Papa John's.
- 15:30Speaker 1: I can see that. There was a fiduciary thing. There
- 15:32Speaker 1: was a financial thing. I could keep a component. I
- 15:34Speaker 1: could see that. Transactional.
- 15:36Speaker 2: But this, you just got something just for optics. They
- 15:38Speaker 2: got a optic, a national optic. They're going to train.
- 15:43Speaker 2: You got played.
- 15:45Speaker 3: Yeah, you got played.
- 15:46Speaker 5: He advertises everything anyway. He does general commercials after all.
- 15:50Speaker 3: Yeah, but I don't care. You know, I think that's
- 15:51Speaker 3: so different. I don't care anything about that. That's fine.
- 15:53Speaker 3: He can advertise for the general, Papa John's and everybody else.
- 15:56Speaker 3: But this. This right here was detestable and disgraceful. I
- 16:00Speaker 3: thought it was horrible.
- 16:02Speaker 1: Only thing worse than this is how bad Papa John's
- 16:04Speaker 1: pizza tastes.
- 16:07Speaker 3: I'm going to tell you the truth.
- 16:08Speaker 1: This dude is not picking up the high class. What
- 16:10Speaker 1: did you say?
- 16:11Speaker 3: I said, I'm going to tell you, when I was
- 16:12Speaker 3: in college, I used to eat some Papa John's pizza.
- 16:15Speaker 1: Papa John's is just all I eat.
- 16:16Speaker 3: Man, come on. With a little garlic sauce.
- 16:20Speaker 1: You know what Papa John's is? A proud sponsor of
- 16:23Speaker 1: the D-Day. That's what they are, open.
- 16:27Speaker 12: Several locations.
- 16:28Speaker 1: So watch what you're saying there, son.
- 16:30Speaker 2: Especially in college town. They're closing 600 of them.
- 16:34Speaker 8: Really? Yeah.
- 16:35Speaker 2: And mostly in Arizona, California. You know who did it?
- 16:40Speaker 3: DiGiorno.
- 16:42Speaker 12: Got him.
- 16:42Speaker 5: Marcos.
- 16:44Speaker 1: Frozen pizza is better.
- 16:45Speaker 15: No.
- 16:46Speaker 1: No, I'm not. And DiGiorno's pizza?
- 16:48Speaker 2: Well, okay, in my opinion, frozen DiGiorno's pizza is better
- 16:53Speaker 2: than that sweet sauce from Papa John's.
- 16:56Speaker 1: It's disgusting.
- 16:57Speaker 3: I would give anything for a slice of it.
- 16:58Speaker 1: It's like Kool-Aid and tomato paste.
- 17:00Speaker 5: It's crazy.
- 17:03Speaker 2: It's as horrible as his decision-making. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
- 17:06Speaker 2: the countdown is on. One Voice 2026 hosted by Ricky Smiley.

- 17:30Speaker 2: a lot has been made about Shaquille going to get
- 17:34Speaker 2: a fake Paw Patrol badge from a fake FBI director.
- 17:39Speaker 2: What do you think, Jazz? I think that it was
- 17:45Speaker 2: a horrible thing to do. I thought it was silly.
- 17:47Speaker 3: I know that he's always been obsessed or kind of
- 17:50Speaker 3: had this thing about police departments. I remember When he
- 17:53Speaker 3: first decided he was going to become a police officer somewhere.
- 17:56Speaker 3: I don't even remember where it was, Texas or someplace.
- 17:59Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 18:00Speaker 3: And I thought it was kind of interesting, you know,
- 18:01Speaker 3: because he's such a big guy. But I thought, you know,
- 18:03Speaker 3: that's what he wants to do with his spare time.
- 18:05Speaker 5: Have at it.
- 18:05Speaker 3: But this with Cash Patel, with the things that he
- 18:08Speaker 3: said and just just the horrible administration that he represents
- 18:12Speaker 3: and works for. And you thought it would be an
- 18:14Speaker 3: honorable thing to go and shuck and jive in front
- 18:16Speaker 3: of these people. Absolutely not.
- 18:18Speaker 1: You took an award from a convicted felon.
- 18:20Speaker 3: Yes.
- 18:21Speaker 4: Yes.
- 18:22Speaker 2: An adjudicated rapist is somebody credibly mentioned on the Epstein list.
- 18:26Speaker 2: If that badge were real, you, in all things being equal,
- 18:29Speaker 2: you would be arresting them.
- 18:30Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 18:31Speaker 2: The only ceremony you guys should be involved in together,
- 18:34Speaker 2: if that were real, was an indictment.
- 18:37Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 18:38Speaker 3: And I don't think they have ceremonies for that.
- 18:39Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, it just looks stupid.
- 18:41Speaker 2: I don't think they do that, but yeah. He's actually
- 18:44Speaker 2: had more badges than made free throws.
- 18:46Speaker 8: Oh, wow.
- 18:47Speaker 11: Wow.
- 18:49Speaker 2: It's just crazy. It defies credulity. I'm like, hi, what
- 18:52Speaker 2: did you think? You didn't get anything for it except play.
- 18:56Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 18:57Speaker 5: Yeah, it's Florida.
- 18:59Speaker 3: That's where it is where he's a police officer.
- 19:01Speaker 1: In Florida. In L.A.
- 19:03Speaker 4: Too.
- 19:03Speaker 1: In New York. In Georgia too.
- 19:04Speaker 3: Yeah, in Georgia, by the way. He can do all
- 19:07Speaker 3: of that. You can do all of that. But this
- 19:09Speaker 3: whole FBI thing with this particular administration, man, come on.
- 19:12Speaker 2: Especially after what they've done to the black community and
- 19:16Speaker 2: the brown community, what they've done deliberately. Mm-hmm. This dude
- 19:19Speaker 2: is just today or yesterday kicks all the media out
- 19:23Speaker 2: and then tries to start his own media company. So
- 19:26Speaker 2: he wants to ask his own questions, which is crazy
- 19:28Speaker 2: because they cleared the merger so that his rich friends could.
- 19:31Speaker 1: Buy all the media. Now you want.
- 19:34Speaker 2: And the same judge who tried the case where he
- 19:37Speaker 2: tried to do it last time and kick the guy
- 19:39Speaker 2: from CNN off is doing it again.
- 19:41Speaker 7: And he's doing state-run media. That's a communist. That's what
- 19:45Speaker 7: it is.
- 19:45Speaker 1: That's communist. Yes, it is. But he has an affinity
- 19:47Speaker 1: for communists. Yeah.
- 19:49Speaker 3: That's why it's so interesting that you would call it
- 19:50Speaker 3: an honorary. He's an honorary. What's honorable about this?
- 19:55Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 19:55Speaker 3: What's honorable about not only the position, but the guy
- 19:57Speaker 3: who gave it to you?
- 19:58Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 19:58Speaker 3: What's honorable about it?
- 20:00Speaker 1: It's crazy.
- 20:00Speaker 2: Shaq took an award from Cash Patel with his cross-eyed ass.
- 20:05Speaker 2: You can't be cross-eyed and drunk.
- 20:08Speaker 1: Pick a struggle, n * * * a.
- 20:10Speaker 2: I think that they're very vindictive. I think they've gone after,
- 20:14Speaker 2: you know, the enemies. Cash Patel has investigated people that
- 20:17Speaker 2: talked about how he was drinking. And he followed them
- 20:20Speaker 2: to a bar, which I'm just kidding. But just the
- 20:25Speaker 2: pettiness of this administration and the devastation it has wreaked
- 20:30Speaker 2: upon black people.
- 20:31Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 20:32Speaker 1: And brown people.
- 20:33Speaker 2: People are in jail right now that, you know, we
- 20:35Speaker 2: have secret police going around and snatching people off the
- 20:38Speaker 2: streets and shooting people. ISIS killed so many people at
- 20:42Speaker 2: the beginning of this year, they could have their first
- 20:43Speaker 2: episode of First 48.
- 20:47Speaker 1: Skip, what do you think?
- 20:49Speaker 7: I tell you, you know, we talked about it before.
- 20:50Speaker 7: I was very disappointed because in all transparency. I'm friends
- 20:54Speaker 7: with Shaq, have known him for many, many, many years,
- 20:57Speaker 7: been to his house. He's a good, and we've honored
- 21:00Speaker 7: him so many times for being philanthropic and giving back
- 21:04Speaker 7: to the community, human being of the week.
- 21:05Speaker 5: But this particular decision, bad move.
- 21:08Speaker 1: Well, he's full of tropic, full of tropic. That's my man.
- 21:13Speaker 1: But I know you could be my man, buddy.
- 21:16Speaker 5: You asked me about this decision.
- 21:19Speaker 2: And I think that I and I don't think this
- 21:22Speaker 2: is just the thing you can slough off. Look how
- 21:24Speaker 2: look how blind and and and willfully dismissive you have
- 21:31Speaker 2: to be of all that this administration put black people through.
- 21:34Speaker 2: Look at which and I could honestly even see it
- 21:37Speaker 2: if there was something in it for you.
- 21:39Speaker 3: And there's nothing.
- 21:40Speaker 1: There's nothing.
- 21:40Speaker 3: And I think we're at a point now in this
- 21:42Speaker 3: country where lines really are being drawn in the sand.
- 21:45Speaker 3: You have to choose a side. You have to. We
- 21:49Speaker 3: saw what happened with the whole situation with Ed Sheeran. and,
- 21:52Speaker 3: and Macklemore, you know, and, and I think the same
- 21:55Speaker 3: thing goes for since Trump has been in office, a
- 21:57Speaker 3: lot of families, you know, a lot of friends are
- 21:59Speaker 3: no longer friends anymore. You know, family members are falling
- 22:02Speaker 3: out because I think the more that this guy does
- 22:04Speaker 3: to this country, you have to choose a side. And
- 22:06Speaker 3: in times like this, you choose the wrong side and it's,
- 22:09Speaker 3: it's going to haunt you.
- 22:10Speaker 2: I think it says a lot about this country that
- 22:12Speaker 2: more people are angry about the price of gas than
- 22:14Speaker 2: the fact that he's credibly missing on the Epstein list.
- 22:17Speaker 1: That tells you who we are.
- 22:18Speaker 2: So, uh, Shaq took a war from, uh, Cash Patel,
- 22:23Speaker 2: FBI director of the Trump administration.
- 22:24Speaker 1: What do you think? Go into the phones.
- 22:26Speaker 16: Yes.
- 22:27Speaker 8: No, I don't believe he should have accepted that award.
- 22:30Speaker 8: That was that was a sellout move. And I've lost
- 22:34Speaker 8: respect for Shaq since he took the spokesperson role for
- 22:38Speaker 8: Papa John's after Papa John's founder was calling those NFL
- 22:42Speaker 8: players the N-word. And here Shaq goes thinking, OK, yeah,
- 22:47Speaker 8: I'm your man, boss.
- 22:48Speaker 17: I'll do it.
- 22:48Speaker 8: I'll do it. But no, he could have stood up
- 22:50Speaker 8: and said, no, we're not going to accept that. You
- 22:53Speaker 8: take your fate and we can take you out of
- 22:55Speaker 8: business if we want to. So, no, I don't think
- 22:58Speaker 8: he should have accepted that. And he needs to stop
- 23:01Speaker 8: being a sellout.
- 23:03Speaker 4: It's really sad to me that there are so many people,
- 23:06Speaker 4: not just Shep, but so many people who have money
- 23:10Speaker 4: think it's okay to just abandon the rest of those.
- 23:14Speaker 4: Any criticism for doing something like this.
- 23:17Speaker 8: Like, this was a.
- 23:18Speaker 4: Stunt, plain and simple.
- 23:20Speaker 14: And the fact that he showed up for it and
- 23:22Speaker 14: he was.
- 23:22Speaker 4: Defending it and he's still defending it, his decision to participate. Like,
- 23:28Speaker 4: there used to be a time when Black people, people
- 23:30Speaker 4: of color stood in solidarity against.
- 23:32Speaker 14: Things like this.
- 23:34Speaker 4: And it just saddens me because this is like another
- 23:37Speaker 4: sign of our current times where people just don't want
- 23:40Speaker 4: to stand in solidarity against something that's so wrong. It's
- 23:44Speaker 4: just wrong to accept any kind of accolades from this administration.
- 23:48Speaker 4: Most of their time, really, like almost all their time
- 23:52Speaker 4: degrading and hurting people of color.
- 23:55Speaker 14: It's just bad.
- 23:56Speaker 8: It's really sad.
- 23:58Speaker 16: Oh, my goodness.
- 23:58Speaker 14: I think that Shaquille is who we've always known he was.
- 24:02Speaker 14: He is nothing more than a complexion guy. They use
- 24:06Speaker 14: it for a shell to cover for other corporations. He's
- 24:10Speaker 14: always been for sale. And these badges, I mean, he's
- 24:15Speaker 14: just been who.
- 24:15Speaker 1: He thought he was.
- 24:16Speaker 14: The big sham cop is just who he is. He's
- 24:21Speaker 14: nothing more than someone that's willing to sell himself to
- 24:24Speaker 14: the highest bidder. And he hasn't met a brand that
- 24:26Speaker 14: he wouldn't sell himself for. So when someone tells you
- 24:30Speaker 14: who they are, believe them.
- 24:32Speaker 13: Man, Shaq is a sellout, and he has been for years.
- 24:36Speaker 13: They say that this ain't nothing new. And then on
- 24:38Speaker 13: top of that, he took it because it was a badge.
- 24:42Speaker 13: You know, he likes to collect all the badges. I
- 24:44Speaker 13: want all the badges. But he's still a sellout. I
- 24:47Speaker 13: heard he.
- 24:48Speaker 12: Shamed a guy, former.
- 24:50Speaker 13: Him being in an apartment, you know what I'm saying?
- 24:53Speaker 13: Shaq is a sellout. Snoops is a sellout. I don't
- 24:56Speaker 13: know what it is about Hollywood. When you get to
- 24:58Speaker 13: a certain point where you get so much money, if
- 25:00Speaker 13: you turn your back on reality, Shaq is a sellout.
- 25:03Speaker 13: That's for damn sure.
- 25:05Speaker 1: What do you think?
- 25:07Speaker 2: Shaq took the honorary badge from Cash Patel.
- 25:12Speaker 1: What do you think?
- 25:13Speaker 17: I just, for the life of me, just do not
- 25:15Speaker 17: understand these black rich men. I just don't understand them.
- 25:20Speaker 17: You know, we support these guys. We love these guys.
- 25:23Speaker 17: The Snoop Dogg, the Ice Cube. And now here comes
- 25:27Speaker 17: Shaquille O'Neal. I mean, you're a separate war from, I mean,
- 25:30Speaker 17: it's a token badge. You're not a real FBI agent, Shaquille.
- 25:34Speaker 17: But you forget about that. Don't you know this is
- 25:36Speaker 17: the same FBI that's trying to cover up the Epstein-Powell case? Shaq,
- 25:40Speaker 17: this is the same FBI right now, Shaq, that is
- 25:43Speaker 17: lying to us about the war that's in Iraq. This FBI,
- 25:47Speaker 17: I mean, to even be associate yourself with this Trump administration,
- 25:52Speaker 17: with this FBI agent, Patel, it's amazing to me. And
- 25:56Speaker 17: I just do not understand these black men, these rich
- 25:59Speaker 17: black men. And you don't think you'll get no pushback
- 26:01Speaker 17: from us. This man had laid off almost 500,000 black women,
- 26:05Speaker 17: almost 400,000 black women lost their jobs. This administration is anti-black.
- 26:09Speaker 17: And Shaquille O'Neal, you are associating yourself with the administration.
- 26:13Speaker 16: Shame on you.
- 26:14Speaker 17: You forgot where you came from? I mean, it's just
- 26:16Speaker 17: heartbreaking to me. You know, somebody who supports this guy,
- 26:19Speaker 17: and I've been supporting him for years, ever since he
- 26:21Speaker 17: was in college, and now this is what I get
- 26:24Speaker 17: in return. I'm just sad about the whole thing you
- 26:27Speaker 17: asked me.
- 26:28Speaker 6: My thoughts are absolutely not Shaq should not have taken
- 26:31Speaker 6: that award. I don't understand what's wrong with us as
- 26:34Speaker 6: black people. We need to stick together, and if someone,
- 26:37Speaker 6: I don't care who it is, is out here disrespecting us,
- 26:40Speaker 6: taken things from us. We should not accept anything from them,
- 26:44Speaker 6: no matter what. Black people, please start getting it together.
- 26:48Speaker 6: We need to stick together.
- 26:49Speaker 16: I feel, in my opinion, that shock should have graciously declined.
- 26:55Speaker 16: I cannot accept this during the political environment that.
- 26:59Speaker 1: We are in.
- 27:00Speaker 16: Once this settles down, then we can revisit this. But
- 27:05Speaker 16: I have to graciously bow. Thank you for your honor.
- 27:09Speaker 16: But Why would he accept it in the first place?
- 27:13Speaker 16: He shouldn't even pick up the phone and say, yee-haw. No,
- 27:16Speaker 16: he was wrong for accepting it as far as I'm concerned.
- 27:18Speaker 16: That's how I feel.
- 27:19Speaker 2: It is now time for our feature where people get to,
- 27:23Speaker 2: we welcome some of, we spotlight some of the funniest
- 27:25Speaker 2: comedians in the world. Some you know, some you do
- 27:27Speaker 2: not today. Welcome to the stage, Gary Michael Anderson.
- 27:30Speaker 9: I don't want kids, you know?
- 27:33Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 27:34Speaker 9: I mean, I have them, but I don't want them.
- 27:39Speaker 9: So I'm just navigating that every day.
- 27:42Speaker 5: Send help.
- 27:44Speaker 9: I never wanted kids because I got a big family,
- 27:47Speaker 9: big dysfunctional family. I got 16 nieces and nephews. Yeah,
- 27:51Speaker 9: one brother and sister. My brother has seven kids, including
- 27:57Speaker 9: two kids. They're the same age. They're not twins.
- 28:00Speaker 5: My sister.
- 28:02Speaker 9: Has nine kids, including a set of triplets. It's three kids.
- 28:06Speaker 5: You guys know that.
- 28:07Speaker 9: It's three kids, but there's two fathers. There's two different
- 28:11Speaker 9: dudes between the three. One guy fathers two of the
- 28:13Speaker 9: triplets and another guy fathers the other.
- 28:16Speaker 8: Wow.
- 28:17Speaker 9: How is that possible? I don't know. But probably the
- 28:22Speaker 9: same way you find an onion ring in your french fries.
- 28:28Speaker 5: No one knows. I still eat that.
- 28:36Speaker 9: I never wanted kids. I hate my nephews. I went
- 28:40Speaker 9: up to the Bay Area to celebrate my 35th birthday,
- 28:43Speaker 9: and one of my nephews asked me if he could
- 28:44Speaker 9: have my laptop when I die. And I was like, bro,
- 28:48Speaker 9: it's my birthday. But also, do you know how computers work?
- 28:52Speaker 9: Do you know how death works? Like, I plan on
- 28:54Speaker 9: being here a minute. You know what I'm saying? I'm
- 28:56Speaker 9: a 35-year-old fit, non-smoker, non-rapper. I live in an up-and-coming
- 29:02Speaker 9: neighborhood across the street from a Whole Foods. I plan
- 29:05Speaker 9: on being here. A minute, you don't think that I'm
- 29:07Speaker 9: going to outlive a 2016 refurbished MacBook Pro with no
- 29:11Speaker 9: space bar? Because space bars, Brooke, you think that I'm
- 29:15Speaker 9: going to die before I spill another latte on that?
- 29:18Speaker 9: Which would be partly my fault, but also the fault

- 31:36Speaker 1: Yes, indeed.
- 31:37Speaker 5: Morris.
- 31:38Speaker 1: If you say iconic, you think you fit that bill, right?
- 31:41Speaker 5: I like that.
- 31:41Speaker 1: I like, I like words like legendary.
- 31:51Speaker 12: It's true.
- 31:52Speaker 5: I take them all. I take them all.
- 31:53Speaker 1: Why do you think that is? Why do you think
- 31:55Speaker 1: that you are described that way? Well, you know, I
- 31:57Speaker 1: think we are fortunate or I'm fortunate. I say we,
- 32:00Speaker 1: because I always talk about my fellows too.
- 32:02Speaker 4: Right.
- 32:02Speaker 10: We've been in the game, man, you know, for a
- 32:04Speaker 10: long time. People still love us. People still come out,
- 32:07Speaker 10: check us out.
- 32:08Speaker 1: But somebody can work in the post office for 40
- 32:11Speaker 1: years and be unremarkable. It's not longevity. You can't just
- 32:15Speaker 1: subscribe to longevity.
- 32:16Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, I understand what you're saying. You know,
- 32:19Speaker 10: I guess, you know, that's a tough question. You know,
- 32:22Speaker 10: I think— You know, you have to be cool.
- 32:26Speaker 1: And we don't hear that. He got Steve Harvey sued
- 32:29Speaker 1: on before Steve Harvey made it.
- 32:30Speaker 8: That's what I'm saying.
- 32:31Speaker 1: I think Steve Harvey knew about Morris Day way back
- 32:33Speaker 1: in the day.
- 32:36Speaker 10: But, you know, like I said, blessed, man. You know,
- 32:39Speaker 10: we came across something that people dug. And it was
- 32:43Speaker 10: an accident for me as far as I'm concerned because
- 32:46Speaker 10: I started out a drummer, you know.
- 32:48Speaker 4: Uh-huh.
- 32:49Speaker 10: Had no plans of being anybody's front man or anything
- 32:51Speaker 10: like that. And something happened. I, you know, I ended
- 32:54Speaker 10: up getting pushed up front and, um, I'm kind of
- 32:57Speaker 10: glad because drummers ain't making that much money.
- 33:02Speaker 5: So, you know, I got that great solo for a
- 33:04Speaker 5: long time.
- 33:05Speaker 13: Yeah.
- 33:06Speaker 5: You know, we just don't know.
- 33:07Speaker 13: Yeah.
- 33:08Speaker 9: Two minutes.
- 33:08Speaker 10: They'd be like, okay, but, but, you know, one thing
- 33:13Speaker 10: led to another man, you know, a Prince was, instrumental
- 33:15Speaker 10: in pushing me out there.
- 33:16Speaker 5: I said, I don't know how to be a front man.
- 33:19Speaker 5: He said, well, be cool. I said, what? He said,
- 33:21Speaker 5: put your hand in your pocket. So I did that.
- 33:23Speaker 5: If you look at the first video, cool video, my
- 33:26Speaker 5: hand was in my pocket. It never left.
- 33:29Speaker 10: And then from there, I started to branch out, brought
- 33:30Speaker 10: the hand out the pocket, started doing the bird and
- 33:32Speaker 10: different things like that.
- 33:33Speaker 5: And one thing just.
- 33:34Speaker 10: Where's the mirror?
- 33:36Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 33:37Speaker 2: I think that you, in order to last as long
- 33:41Speaker 2: as you do, you have to be indelible, right? Like
- 33:43Speaker 2: you have to imbue us with who you are like
- 33:46Speaker 2: we have to we have to get you we have
- 33:48Speaker 2: to yeah and i think um you like everybody felt
- 33:53Speaker 2: good that uh dance to your music everybody felt like
- 33:56Speaker 2: you seemed silly and irreverent and fun and dope like
- 34:00Speaker 2: we didn't have that word back then right so most
- 34:03Speaker 2: of that would have just been innate right so they
- 34:05Speaker 2: just saw that part of it.
- 34:06Speaker 1: Even though you were behind the drums didn't they.
- 34:09Speaker 5: Well, you know, it just really took evolving.
- 34:12Speaker 10: It took taking the thing to, you know, bring in
- 34:14Speaker 10: a sense of humor to the music and some personality
- 34:17Speaker 10: to the music.
- 34:18Speaker 1: A lot of times you laugh. You didn't take yourself
- 34:20Speaker 1: way too. I mean, you play like you took yourself seriously,
- 34:23Speaker 1: but you go in and out of seriousness. And that's
- 34:27Speaker 1: the whole thing.
- 34:28Speaker 5: But you're right.
- 34:29Speaker 10: You got to, you know, being in comedy, you got
- 34:31Speaker 10: to be able to laugh at yourself, you know, and
- 34:34Speaker 10: some people can't take it.
- 34:35Speaker 5: You know, some music is just too serious for me.
- 34:38Speaker 1: Like what?
- 34:39Speaker 5: A lot of it.
- 34:40Speaker 1: That's a good description. There you go.
- 34:42Speaker 5: Most of it.
- 34:42Speaker 3: That's in and out.
- 34:44Speaker 5: Most of it.
- 34:44Speaker 3: Most of it.
- 34:46Speaker 1: All in.
- 34:50Speaker 5: There.
- 34:52Speaker 2: So you think a lot of music is a lot
- 34:54Speaker 2: of music that you hear right now because you have
- 34:56Speaker 2: a discerning eye, right? So a lot of that would
- 35:01Speaker 2: be so serious that you couldn't dig it.
- 35:03Speaker 10: I mean, and when it's not serious, it's, to me,
- 35:07Speaker 10: it's just, it's too youthful for me.
- 35:09Speaker 5: A lot of it.
- 35:10Speaker 10: And, you know, that's, you know, say what you will
- 35:14Speaker 10: about youthful or what I mean by youthful.
- 35:17Speaker 5: But it's a little too... You know what reminds me
- 35:19Speaker 5: a lot of you?
- 35:20Speaker 1: Bruno Mars.
- 35:21Speaker 2: Oh.
- 35:22Speaker 5: I wonder why.
- 35:22Speaker 14: Yeah.
- 35:23Speaker 5: No, honestly, I.
- 35:25Speaker 2: I had never seen him. Kids liked him. I was like, oh,
- 35:28Speaker 2: I'm in Vegas. I think Sid's wife was having a
- 35:31Speaker 2: birthday party there. They got tickets.
- 35:33Speaker 1: To Bruno Mars. And I was like, damn, that's why
- 35:35Speaker 1: I like him.
- 35:36Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 35:36Speaker 1: Does he remind you of you?
- 35:38Speaker 5: I can see the influence.
- 35:46Speaker 10: But Bruno is one of the few people who I
- 35:48Speaker 10: really dig these days because I think he brings it.
- 35:51Speaker 10: I think he's a great performer. He's a talented songwriter, singer,
- 35:54Speaker 10: you name it. He can do it all, man.
- 35:56Speaker 1: But does he remind you?
- 35:57Speaker 14: Absolutely.
- 35:57Speaker 4: Absolutely.
- 35:59Speaker 5: Maybe you didn't hear the adjectives.
- 36:01Speaker 1: I wouldn't know what it was if I heard it.
- 36:06Speaker 4: Oh, my God.
- 36:06Speaker 3: Morris Day, thank you so much for joining us.
- 36:08Speaker 5: We really appreciate it. Thanks for having me.
- 36:09Speaker 1: It is now time to give a deserving someone the
- 36:11Speaker 1: Shoe Booty of the Week Award.
- 36:12Speaker 12: And now it's time for the Shoe Booty of the
- 36:18Speaker 12: Week Award. Donald Trump is an American politician, media personality,
- 36:27Speaker 12: and businessman who served as the 45th and 47th president
- 36:33Speaker 12: of the United States of America.
- 36:36Speaker 1: I am your president.
- 36:37Speaker 12: He is the only president to be impeached twice and
- 36:41Speaker 12: indicted in the nation's 234 year history he's a nasty
- 36:47Speaker 12: person so why is donnie crisco this week's recipient of
- 36:52Speaker 12: the shoe booty of the week award again.
- 36:56Speaker 16: The people of the country are angry and there's nothing
- 36:58Speaker 16: wrong with saying that you know uh that you've recalculated.
- 37:03Speaker 12: He gets the shoe booty because just like an unfunny
- 37:08Speaker 12: party clown at a five-year-old's birthday party, he's turning to
- 37:12Speaker 12: his favorite party trick, bribery.
- 37:15Speaker 5: How much is it going to cost to turn one
- 37:16Speaker 5: of them white olive pies.
- 37:18Speaker 1: Into a new pie?
- 37:19Speaker 12: Yes, it started when he was at a first-time midterm
- 37:23Speaker 12: convention during Donnie Does Dallas or Trumpalooza.
- 37:27Speaker 1: Don't be rude.
- 37:28Speaker 12: The bronze briber promised every adult American $ 5, 000 if Republicans
- 37:33Speaker 12: keep Congress.
- 37:39Speaker 5: Man, y'all gotta cut a brother in on that, man.
- 37:41Speaker 5: Let me be down, man.
- 37:42Speaker 12: He's calling it the Trump Dividend, which is adorable, because
- 37:47Speaker 12: last year it was the $ 2, 000 tariff dividend. Before that,
- 37:52Speaker 12: it was a $ 5, 000 doge dividend.
- 37:56Speaker 1: Where's the rest? The money, Skyler.
- 38:00Speaker 5: Where is the rest?
- 38:03Speaker 8: Skyler....
- 38:06Speaker 12: This is the same man who was going to end
- 38:09Speaker 12: the war in 24 hours. Get gas under two bucks,
- 38:13Speaker 12: have Mexico pick up the tab for a wall, but
- 38:17Speaker 12: the wall got a little taller. Your grocery bill did too.
- 38:21Speaker 12: He also promised to replace Obamacare with something beautiful. Something
- 38:27Speaker 12: far more beautiful. But the only thing we've gotten is
- 38:35Speaker 12: a receipt. The people of this country getting a $ 5, 000
- 38:39Speaker 12: check is as likely as Mexico sliding the wall money
- 38:44Speaker 12: under the wall with a thank you note.
- 38:46Speaker 15: Money!
- 38:48Speaker 12: A crackhead forgetting where he put his pipe. That check
- 38:56Speaker 12: is arriving, clearing, and not bouncing like his last three promises.
- 39:01Speaker 12: King Kanko claims when it comes to the presidency, he's
- 39:05Speaker 12: the GOAT. But with his latest move, he proved he's
- 39:10Speaker 12: the gloat, the greatest liar of all time.
- 39:14Speaker 5: I don't think they like me very much.
- 39:16Speaker 11: And that's why the shoe booty of the week award
- 39:21Speaker 11: goes to the tubby tariff toddler, Donald Trump.
- 39:28Speaker 5: Now here's a.
- 39:30Speaker 12: swift kick in the ass.
- 39:32Speaker 2: Now it's time for what you need to know with
- 39:34Speaker 2: one on Sybil Wilkes.
- 39:35Speaker 15: It's Sybil Wilkes with what we need to know. President
- 39:38Speaker 15: Trump announced American officials held productive meetings with an Iranian
- 39:42Speaker 15: delegation at the United Nations in New York, expressing optimism
- 39:45Speaker 15: while noting a formal peace agreement will likely occur after
- 39:49Speaker 15: After the midterm elections, federal immigration officials confirmed the ICE
- 39:53Speaker 15: officer who shot Venezuelan asylum seeker Wilbur Rafael Garces Perez
- 39:57Speaker 15: during an Austin, Texas door dash delivery was not wearing
- 40:00Speaker 15: an issued body camera. As Congressman Joaquin Castro reports, Perez
- 40:04Speaker 15: suffers from left side paralysis. He's in federal custody. Major
- 40:08Speaker 15: Northeast airports, including Newark, JFK, and LaGuardia, are recovering from
- 40:13Speaker 15: severe flight disruptions after a New Jersey Transit construction crew
- 40:17Speaker 15: accidentally severed backup fiber optic cables following a primary line failure.
- 40:22Speaker 15: And music legend Lionel Richie is recovering from a heart
- 40:26Speaker 15: procedure to treat an irregular heartbeat, prompting Richie and Earth,
- 40:29Speaker 15: Wind & Fire to postpone their rescheduled three concerts.
