- 4:18Speaker 2: Ryan Clark, I don't know if you've seen this, but
- 4:19Speaker 2: I've been watching this for several days now, apparently fire
- 4:22Speaker 2: from ESPN. But he start making the rounds and just
- 4:25Speaker 2: basically talking about his experience, and he said, look, one
- 4:28Speaker 2: of the things is I felt like I couldn't be myself,
- 4:31Speaker 2: to be clear, I couldn't be black. And apparently he
- 4:34Speaker 2: said that they he felt he might have been too
- 4:37Speaker 2: black for the executives and they made it, you know,
- 4:40Speaker 2: very difficult for him and said some bad.
- 4:42Speaker 1: Things about Steven A. Smith. Of course he's too black.
- 4:44Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, but you know, it was really sad
- 4:47Speaker 2: watching him. What is the Pivot podcast? I think he
- 4:51Speaker 2: does And he just broke down crying, and the guys
- 4:53Speaker 2: around him who were there, they were crying as well.
- 4:55Speaker 2: I guess as he was talking about how difficult it
- 4:57Speaker 2: is to be a black man and in that particular
- 5:01Speaker 2: culture that is all white, and how it made him feel.
- 5:06Speaker 2: It was very It was very moving. You know, I
- 5:08Speaker 2: always find it moving anyway when I see a black
- 5:10Speaker 2: man crying. Wow, you know, not often that that happens.
- 5:12Speaker 2: But and you know what he is the thing?
- 5:15Speaker 1: How is he too black to have a job at
- 5:18Speaker 1: ESPN but has been a too dumb to be in
- 5:21Speaker 1: charge of the army. There you go with logic again.
- 5:26Speaker 1: I love Ryan Clark. I think he was a dope
- 5:28Speaker 1: ass dude. I'm sorry didn't happened to him. Yeah, me too.
- 5:31Speaker 2: There's another story that's trending that people are divided on
- 5:34Speaker 2: the internet about a mom who found a man under
- 5:36Speaker 2: her daughter's bed and now she's facing murder charges.
- 5:40Speaker 1: This happens a lot of women, but not when it's
- 5:45Speaker 1: your kid, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 5:49Speaker 1: it was that kind of thing.
- 5:51Speaker 2: Now you know it ended up pretty bad because she
- 5:53Speaker 2: ended up shooting the guy because, you know, under.
- 5:56Speaker 1: Her daughter's bed. And remember iron Man got iron Man
- 5:59Speaker 1: was in the phone, found and fell asleep and someone
- 6:01Speaker 1: but he's on drugs or something. When a white dude does,
- 6:05Speaker 1: he becomes iron Man. When the black dude does, he
- 6:09Speaker 1: gets shot, he becomes dead Man. It went from it
- 6:13Speaker 1: went from iron to steel. It was playing in my house.
- 6:22Speaker 1: Yeah you can't in Memphis. And again, not making light
- 6:25Speaker 1: of the story, she's now face facing potentially life behind
- 6:28Speaker 1: barn child.
- 6:32Speaker 2: It was her daughter's bed, I guess, And I guess
- 6:35Speaker 2: the daughter had invited him in, right, Well, I guess
- 6:40Speaker 2: he was.
- 6:40Speaker 1: I don't know if he was leaving running off the porter.
- 6:43Speaker 1: Yeah don't for good? Yeah about that? Yeah, well there
- 6:46Speaker 1: you go. That's what's true. I don't know a lot,
- 6:49Speaker 1: but when somebody says, get out of the bed. That's
- 6:50Speaker 1: probably a good thing.
- 6:52Speaker 2: What you should, you know, kind of hear that to
- 6:54Speaker 2: be is get out the house and not get under
- 6:56Speaker 2: the bed.
- 6:57Speaker 1: That's what I think, So uh, this will pass. This weekend,
- 7:00Speaker 1: I was reading the audio book for my new release,
- 7:03Speaker 1: Charlie's Boy, which is available now on Amazon but it
- 7:06Speaker 1: will be released on October sixth, Charlie's Boy and Memoir.
- 7:10Speaker 1: And I was reading of the book and I remember
- 7:13Speaker 1: the story. When I was a young teenager, I used
- 7:16Speaker 1: to get in trouble all the time, all the time,
- 7:19Speaker 1: all the time. I got kicked out a couple of schools.
- 7:21Speaker 1: I was always getting in trouble, and what I would
- 7:24Speaker 1: do is blame everybody. It was my neighbors who were
- 7:26Speaker 1: lying on me, it was teachers who conspired against me.
- 7:30Speaker 1: It was my brothers and sisters. Everything was always someone
- 7:34Speaker 1: else's fault. Everything. I had an excuse for everything. I
- 7:40Speaker 1: think that's fairly common with a lot of people. But
- 7:43Speaker 1: I had an excuse for everything, everything, And I was
- 7:46Speaker 1: always in trouble. I was always a source of angs
- 7:49Speaker 1: for my parents. I drove them crazy. And one time,
- 7:53Speaker 1: after I got kicked out of Guardina High, I was
- 7:55Speaker 1: going to lock. I was there a week and all
- 7:59Speaker 1: of a sudden, these dudes and went there chase chasing
- 8:01Speaker 1: me down the street. I run into a liquor store
- 8:04Speaker 1: and the Korean grocer there is telling me to get out,
- 8:06Speaker 1: and I'm like, I'm not leaving. She's like, I'll call
- 8:08Speaker 1: the police, and like, good, call the police. So I'm
- 8:11Speaker 1: hiding in there among the honeybuck and in walked my father, Charlie,
- 8:15Speaker 1: and he walks in there and he is getting his
- 8:17Speaker 1: six pack of beer and his wild turkey, and he
- 8:19Speaker 1: sees me, and he can deduce by the fact that
- 8:22Speaker 1: I'm hiding in here and all those dudes are out front,
- 8:25Speaker 1: that they must have chased me in here. So he says,
- 8:27Speaker 1: come on, boy. We get in the car and we
- 8:29Speaker 1: are riding along and for a long time my father
- 8:32Speaker 1: didn't say one thing. Halfway home, he looked at me
- 8:36Speaker 1: and says, have you had enough? He said, aren't you tired?
- 8:41Speaker 1: And I remember thinking how tired I was, And that
- 8:44Speaker 1: moment changed a lot for me, because I was exhausted,
- 8:48Speaker 1: lying and running and hiding and doing all the things
- 8:51Speaker 1: I've done that reminds me of what I'm seeing in America.
- 8:56Speaker 1: Aren't you tired of the way people feel about this country?
- 9:00Speaker 1: Aren't you tired of having excuses made? It used to
- 9:02Speaker 1: be a point when we didn't have algae in pools,
- 9:06Speaker 1: when we weren't starting wars for no reason, we were
- 9:09Speaker 1: slapping tariffs, and when people there was at least some
- 9:13Speaker 1: semilus of respect for this country. Nothing that you voted
- 9:16Speaker 1: for is happening. Not one thing. The grocery prices aren't lower,
- 9:21Speaker 1: the border isn't say it isn't secure. Those new wars
- 9:25Speaker 1: that weren't supposed to start have We're on the brink
- 9:28Speaker 1: of financial ruin. Aren't you tired? Aren't you tired of
- 9:33Speaker 1: everything being in about him? Aren't you tired of blaming
- 9:36Speaker 1: every single person for every mistake, whether they had something
- 9:39Speaker 1: to do with or not. Aren't you tired of him
- 9:41Speaker 1: taking credit? Aren't you tired of him robbing this country
- 9:44Speaker 1: and stripping it for parts? Aren't you tired? Aren't you
- 9:48Speaker 1: tired of this division and upheaval? Aren't you tired? There's
- 9:53Speaker 1: not a day that goes by that something this guy
- 9:56Speaker 1: says or does doesn't put you on edge. In their
- 10:00Speaker 1: people are so determined that they can't be wrong, so
- 10:03Speaker 1: determined to stick to this course that they just let
- 10:06Speaker 1: it keep happening. You're more involved in a game of
- 10:11Speaker 1: soccer than you are in a war. Aren't you tired?
- 10:16Speaker 1: Aren't you tired of things that used to be normal?
- 10:19Speaker 1: We didn't used to have rigged elections. We didn't used
- 10:22Speaker 1: to have algae and pools. We didn't used to have it,
- 10:25Speaker 1: and now we do. Aren't you tired? That's a little
- 10:30Speaker 1: note from the gd section. It's the deal, Hughley, She's jazz,
- 10:37Speaker 1: it's the jazzy report. I'm a d L. Hughley show.
- 10:41Speaker 2: Federal data show school closures up more than thirty five
- 10:45Speaker 2: percent over the past four years, with more than one
- 10:47Speaker 2: thousand schools closing, and twenty twenty five to twenty twenty
- 10:50Speaker 2: six more cuts are planned in major districts including Houston, Philly, Pittsburgh,
- 10:56Speaker 2: and Florida's Browward County. Now they say it's because fewer
- 10:59Speaker 2: children over raw the exploration of the pandemic relief dollars
- 11:02Speaker 2: that temporarily padded budgets and state funding.
- 11:05Speaker 1: Where's his hat?
- 11:07Speaker 2: It's happening, Well, it's happening all over, but it's about
- 11:10Speaker 2: to happen even more in.
- 11:11Speaker 1: Houston, Philly, Pittsburgh, and Florida. Yeah, because why would we
- 11:14Speaker 1: want our children educated? That's educated. Who taught you how
- 11:22Speaker 1: to read? Yeah? Yeah, making the whole world anyway.
- 11:28Speaker 2: Experts have warned that symptoms of menopause may be masking
- 11:31Speaker 2: the signs of deadly of the deadly broken heart syndrome,
- 11:34Speaker 2: which is a little known condition that can trigger a stroke.
- 11:37Speaker 2: While the feeling of a racing heart is associated with
- 11:39Speaker 2: the hormonal change, it's also a red flag for life
- 11:43Speaker 2: threatening diseases of the heart.
- 11:47Speaker 1: Yeah, I could see. So if your heart running off,
- 11:50Speaker 1: well my heart does all the time. So well, you know,
- 11:52Speaker 1: I'm this ain't your hormonales. I'm sure i'molved in the
- 12:00Speaker 1: h This is a Skeki university is a new dress
- 12:03Speaker 1: code that bands bond and stew rags and bedroom shoes
- 12:06Speaker 1: and class. Some believe it's pairing, preparing students for a
- 12:11Speaker 1: professor what others say it's too restrictive and infringes on
- 12:13Speaker 1: their rights. It's a private university, right, private. They can
- 12:16Speaker 1: do what they want. Yes, they can. No shoes, no shirt,
- 12:20Speaker 1: no service. They can do what they want. You have
- 12:22Speaker 1: a right to wear what you want. They have a
- 12:24Speaker 1: right to say you it's not acceptable. Ye, I can
- 12:28Speaker 1: always tell where I'm going. If I get on Delta
- 12:30Speaker 1: and it's going to Atlanta, it looks just like this,
- 12:33Speaker 1: or Miami looks just like this. Wow, I can always
- 12:36Speaker 1: tell it, can always tell project. It's true, though I'm
- 12:41Speaker 1: not gonna lie. It's true. When you're in the airport,
- 12:43Speaker 1: you kind of know, you're like, why somebody's going to
- 12:46Speaker 1: Miami And I don't know why.
- 12:48Speaker 2: And I don't even like to judge people like that,
- 12:51Speaker 2: but it does make me feel uncomfortable when I see
- 12:53Speaker 2: you come to the airport and you still have your
- 12:55Speaker 2: sleep clothes on, all of them.
- 12:56Speaker 1: From he Well, you know you you you have the
- 12:58Speaker 1: right to do it. You could do it, of course,
- 13:00Speaker 1: and people have the right to judge you. You can
- 13:04Speaker 1: judge you. They will, especially a flight in the middle
- 13:07Speaker 1: of the day. But you know what, I used to
- 13:10Speaker 1: know dudes that had pressing curls and they would have
- 13:12Speaker 1: rollers in the heir at a party at twelve o'clock, Eliven, like,
- 13:14Speaker 1: what are you going after this? You know, after this,
- 13:18Speaker 1: after this, you got your here got to be laid
- 13:20Speaker 1: because you've really got someone to go out. But I
- 13:23Speaker 1: feel the same way about women who come out in
- 13:24Speaker 1: curler rollers. But you used to see that a lot more.
- 13:27Speaker 1: Now you're very really now, Yeah, well that's taking to
- 13:29Speaker 1: come back. It's making a comeback. It's making a comeback,
- 13:32Speaker 1: it really is. And if I well, you know what
- 13:34Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, that kind of shenanigans on, that's
- 13:37Speaker 1: what the first class you know, Oh gosh, should we
- 13:42Speaker 1: back to that again. It's a constant, it's a constant refrain.
- 13:45Speaker 1: I don't see that just in coach, is what you're saying.
- 13:50Speaker 1: I don't know. Listen, I can't tell you what happens
- 13:53Speaker 1: in coach, but I can tell you what doesn't happen
- 13:56Speaker 1: in front of the curtain about in my experience it's allowed.
- 14:00Speaker 1: I don't know what's allowed or not. But I know
- 14:01Speaker 1: that I don't see it a lot. See when they
- 14:04Speaker 1: wear that, I always know it's thirty four C. I
- 14:07Speaker 1: know it's way in the back last class. Yeah yeah,
- 14:12Speaker 1: I know, I know it's past eight. I know that.
- 14:15Speaker 1: So that's the discriminatory but true. All right, give us
- 14:18Speaker 1: a call, let us know you think you think it's
- 14:19Speaker 1: a good rule of not eighte seven seven two two
- 14:22Speaker 1: two four two six.
- 14:23Speaker 2: Also that is up on Twitter, deal HUGU radio or
- 14:25Speaker 2: on Facebook the do O Hugley Show and the website
- 14:27Speaker 2: is the d O Hugley Show dot com.
- 14:28Speaker 1: So Tuskegee University, it is a famous HBCU very much,
- 14:33Speaker 1: so has decided August eight, HBCU has decided that it
- 14:39Speaker 1: will implement it. Just do you know how bad it
- 14:41Speaker 1: got to be for them to implement this? Yes, I do.
- 14:45Speaker 1: And uh, you can't have bondage, jew rags and bedroom
- 14:50Speaker 1: shoes in class, some believers appearing students profess professional world.
- 14:53Speaker 1: Let's say it's too restrictive and their fringes on their rights.
- 14:56Speaker 1: What do you think we're gonna go to our social
- 14:58Speaker 1: media platform? Especially okay with saying so, we have Tia
- 15:02Speaker 1: from Baltimore, and Tia says it's there. It's at the
- 15:05Speaker 1: end of the day, it's their rule. They're probably university.
- 15:07Speaker 1: They can do what they want. They can.
- 15:09Speaker 2: Yeah, shout out to President Mark Brown over there.
- 15:13Speaker 1: I don't know that that makes anything any better, Like
- 15:16Speaker 1: there are some things that would be conscious straight on
- 15:18Speaker 1: weather than that. But I do think that it does
- 15:21Speaker 1: provide a certain type of atmosphere, right, Yeah, I think so.
- 15:24Speaker 1: I think the way you dress typically enhances or not
- 15:28Speaker 1: how you act.
- 15:29Speaker 2: But some of the core policies also, by the way,
- 15:33Speaker 2: outside of the banned items professional attire. Whenever you're attending
- 15:37Speaker 2: a business meeting or anything that is professional on the university,
- 15:41Speaker 2: you have to wear a business suit.
- 15:42Speaker 1: And appropriate footwear.
- 15:44Speaker 2: You can't wear anything that is deemed too revealing or explicit,
- 15:48Speaker 2: you know, information on your shirt that's a convocation or
- 15:52Speaker 2: inside the classroom or any dining room area as well.
- 15:55Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't, you know, I didn't. Of course I
- 15:57Speaker 1: didn't attend college, so you can wear whatever you want.
- 16:03Speaker 1: But I have attended any number of events where I've
- 16:07Speaker 1: seen people that were not dressed like what the events
- 16:12Speaker 1: seem like it called for.
- 16:13Speaker 2: Yeah, which is what the president, doctor Mark A. Brown says,
- 16:16Speaker 2: is that the policies aim to build a strong foundation
- 16:19Speaker 2: for career readiness rather than restricting a student's experience.
- 16:23Speaker 1: If you this is what I will say, If you
- 16:25Speaker 1: think that's appropriate to where, then you got other things
- 16:28Speaker 1: to work on besides career ready. If that is your
- 16:31Speaker 1: assessment of what it looks like. I mean, would you
- 16:34Speaker 1: show up on a job interview with your rag on?
- 16:36Speaker 1: I see a kiosk in your future? You see a
- 16:39Speaker 1: kiosk and there my friends, you see that seeing there's
- 16:45Speaker 1: people that that funny thing about it. You're in college.
- 16:48Speaker 1: Your parents can't demand to see your grades. Now I
- 16:51Speaker 1: can stop paying unless I see them correct. But they're
- 16:54Speaker 1: adult enough. And if you don't understand now that how
- 16:58Speaker 1: you carry yourself is how you perceive, then there's then
- 17:02Speaker 1: you're an adult. If you don't get that now, Like
- 17:05Speaker 1: I guess, guess what if I see somebody who's dressed
- 17:07Speaker 1: a particular way. You make judgments all the time. If
