- 0:01Speaker 1: It is the DLU. We show you a 2026 edition.
- 0:04Speaker 2: First off, we want to make sure that everybody's aware
- 0:06Speaker 2: this is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
- 0:08Speaker 1: Make sure that you take care of yourself so that
- 0:11Speaker 1: you can take care of others.
- 0:12Speaker 2: Make sure that you are exercising and eating right and
- 0:15Speaker 2: getting regular checkups.
- 0:17Speaker 1: Making sure you're around for the long fight. Today is
- 0:21Speaker 1: the day.
- 0:21Speaker 2: Today is the release of Charlie's Boys. So I've been
- 0:24Speaker 2: doing a lot of press. I'm excited about it.
- 0:26Speaker 3: Congratulations.
- 0:27Speaker 2: Charlie's Boys is available right now. Also, if you're going
- 0:30Speaker 2: to be in Atlanta, Georgia, I'm going to be at
- 0:32Speaker 2: a symphony hall. And then the next day at 11
- 0:35Speaker 2: is at the Close Auditorium.
- 0:38Speaker 1: Theater action. Close Theater. Oh, Close Auditorium Theater. Don't go
- 0:44Speaker 1: to the auditorium. That is closed. But the Close Theater
- 0:46Speaker 1: is where we'll be at. Yeah. I think this DaVinci
- 0:51Speaker 1: Kid is woof.
- 0:52Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 0:52Speaker 3: I was going to talk about that in Trending for
- 0:54Speaker 3: sure because it is definitely Trending.
- 0:56Speaker 1: I'm not going to give it a lot, but what's
- 0:58Speaker 1: French for f * * * ed up?
- 0:59Speaker 5: No!
- 0:59Speaker 1: What is French? Exactly. Man.
- 1:05Speaker 2: I just think a lot of people these days try
- 1:08Speaker 2: to be too slick by half and say a lot
- 1:09Speaker 2: of things that are provocative and edgy.
- 1:11Speaker 1: And sometimes you can do things. And you know what? Ultimately,
- 1:14Speaker 1: if you believe what you believe, you should stand on it.
- 1:16Speaker 1: I don't know... I'm in no position to tell somebody
- 1:20Speaker 1: they shouldn't have said what they said.
- 1:21Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 1:23Speaker 1: Not at all. Yeah.
- 1:27Speaker 6: You got to have the cachet to be able to
- 1:28Speaker 6: do it. Like this kid is young. He's just getting
- 1:30Speaker 6: his career good and started. Like Shaq can survive that.
- 1:33Speaker 6: You know, he can say something wild.
- 1:36Speaker 2: Yeah, I think what I take umbrage with is there
- 1:40Speaker 2: seems to be a constant assault on the intellect side
- 1:46Speaker 2: of black people here, by other black people.
- 1:48Speaker 1: That's why I don't like that H.O. Who was the
- 1:52Speaker 1: kid on the Fox News? The H.O. I don't like
- 1:55Speaker 1: him at all. Here's the thing.
- 1:57Speaker 2: The same thing that he said about us, Dominicans say
- 2:00Speaker 2: about Haitians. The same thing he said about us. And
- 2:05Speaker 2: I wouldn't like it. I didn't like it when they
- 2:07Speaker 2: said Haitians eat dogs. I didn't like it when they
- 2:10Speaker 2: were disrespectful to them. I didn't like when, and have
- 2:13Speaker 2: said so out loud. I most certainly don't like it
- 2:16Speaker 2: when he says stuff about us. And you made your
- 2:19Speaker 2: living pretending to be us. And you talk about in
- 2:23Speaker 2: the ninth grade, eighth grade, you were taking yourself in Brooklyn.
- 2:27Speaker 1: You were in America.
- 2:30Speaker 2: And I hate when all these people come here and they, well,
- 2:33Speaker 2: you know, we were smarter than you.
- 2:34Speaker 1: If you're so smart and you work so hard, see
- 2:37Speaker 1: how that work in Haiti.
- 2:38Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 2:40Speaker 2: If all the smart people that denigrated this country were there,
- 2:43Speaker 2: then maybe it'd be a different country. But Haiti has
- 2:46Speaker 2: this problem.
- 2:46Speaker 1: It's violent.
- 2:48Speaker 2: So there's a kid that was going to have to
- 2:51Speaker 2: be sent back to Haiti, and he jumped in front
- 2:53Speaker 2: of a bus.
- 2:55Speaker 1: That happened.
- 2:59Speaker 2: So I think we have to be careful, especially when
- 3:04Speaker 2: you made your living sounding like us and acting like us.
- 3:10Speaker 1: And now you resorted to sounding and acting like them.
- 3:13Speaker 1: That's a lot. Happy birthday to Lamond Rucker.
- 3:17Speaker 2: Why did I get married? Happy birthday to Brownie James.
- 3:19Speaker 2: Happy birthday to Rebecca Lobo. Happy birthday to Trevor Lawrence.
- 3:22Speaker 2: He having a hell of a run right now, playing
- 3:23Speaker 2: a little ball.
- 3:24Speaker 1: Happy birthday to Karima Westwood. Grace on All-American.
- 3:30Speaker 2: Boy, she won't talk to him no more. Happy birthday
- 3:33Speaker 2: to Chris Matthews. Happy birthday to Jonathan Kaminga. Happy birthday
- 3:36Speaker 2: to Tony Dungy, the first African-American head coach.
- 3:38Speaker 1: To win a Super Bowl.
- 3:39Speaker 8: That seems, wow, wow.
- 3:41Speaker 2: Happy birthday possibly, of course, to Derry Heller, the NWA manager,
- 3:44Speaker 2: and happy birthday to Ricky.
- 3:45Speaker 1: Haddon, the boxer.
- 3:46Speaker 2: It's such a young kid to meet his untimely demise.
- 3:51Speaker 2: We got a great show lined up for you. Jasmine's
- 3:53Speaker 2: going to tell us what's trending. We got a little

- 4:17Speaker 2: to OneVoiceCruise.com for all of the details. Jazz man, tell
- 4:21Speaker 2: us what's trending.
- 4:22Speaker 9: So you guys said we weren't going to talk about
- 4:23Speaker 9: it quite a bit, but you did. But we're still
- 4:25Speaker 9: going to talk about it anyway and get to the weeds.
- 4:26Speaker 9: And that is regarding Da Vinci and all of the
- 4:29Speaker 9: uproar on social media about him. Not only talking about
- 4:32Speaker 9: how in this country, how we're very lazy and how,
- 4:35Speaker 9: you know, our work ethic is not the same as
- 4:37Speaker 9: what he is accustomed to. But then coming back and
- 4:39Speaker 9: making these comments about slavery, they are letting.
- 4:43Speaker 3: Him have it. He is being eaten up now, of course.
- 4:46Speaker 9: You know, his response, you know, because all of this
- 4:48Speaker 9: took place, by the way, on Cam Newton's podcast, which
- 4:50Speaker 9: if you know, you know, when you go on Cam
- 4:52Speaker 9: Newton's podcast, he's going to edit it for clicks because
- 4:55Speaker 9: that's what they do.
- 4:56Speaker 3: Just like Shannon Sharp.
- 4:57Speaker 1: Not on our podcast.
- 4:58Speaker 10: We don't.
- 4:59Speaker 1: No, of course not.
- 5:00Speaker 3: What you say is what you say.
- 5:01Speaker 1: Because we don't have guests. You hear something.
- 5:07Speaker 9: But the fact that he minimizes slavery and talks about
- 5:09Speaker 9: how Americans need to move on and all of these things.
- 5:12Speaker 9: And now that he realizes how much hot water he's in,
- 5:15Speaker 9: he's trying to backpedal a little bit.
- 5:16Speaker 2: You know what's so funny about when people tell us
- 5:18Speaker 2: to move on from slavery? That would be nice. So
- 5:20Speaker 2: you go first.
- 5:21Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 5:21Speaker 2: You can't tell me to move on from slavery when
- 5:24Speaker 2: you're naming your bases after Confederate generals.
- 5:26Speaker 1: Thank you. Yikes.
- 5:27Speaker 2: You can't tell me to move on from slavery when
- 5:30Speaker 2: you're enacting some of the very practices that were around.
- 5:34Speaker 1: During Jim Crow.
- 5:35Speaker 12: Mm-hmm.
- 5:35Speaker 2: So it isn't that I need to move on from slavery.
- 5:38Speaker 2: Even the very situation you have right now. You can't
- 5:41Speaker 2: tell me to move on from slavery when you attack
- 5:43Speaker 2: the Fourth Amendment, which gives people the right to be here.
- 5:46Speaker 13: So.
- 5:47Speaker 1: It isn't we need to move on from slavery. It's
- 5:49Speaker 1: this country won't.
- 5:51Speaker 2: This country and slavery, it's like you never had somebody
- 5:54Speaker 2: that had, like there's been people who got shot. And
- 5:56Speaker 2: to remove the bullet would actually do more harm than
- 5:59Speaker 2: to let it stay. That is racism in this country.
- 6:01Speaker 2: And it's insulting for a man who had to be.
- 6:04Speaker 1: It is slavery.
- 6:06Speaker 2: The remnants of slavery is why you get to be
- 6:08Speaker 2: an American citizen.
- 6:10Speaker 1: That's why slavery did that.
- 6:12Speaker 2: You get to come from Haiti, and because you were
- 6:15Speaker 2: born here, you're an American citizen.
- 6:17Speaker 1: Because of the 14th Amendment.
- 6:18Speaker 2: As a lot of people from China, a lot of
- 6:20Speaker 2: people from India, a lot of people from Germany, a
- 6:21Speaker 2: lot of people from Hungary, a lot of those people
- 6:24Speaker 2: that are here that were born here were the recipients
- 6:27Speaker 2: of the ancestors of slavery. So do you want to
- 6:32Speaker 2: start talking about slavery to the extent that it makes
- 6:34Speaker 2: you leave this country?
- 6:35Speaker 14: Yeah.
- 6:36Speaker 9: And the other thing is, I find it so interesting
- 6:38Speaker 9: that you could talk so badly about a country that
- 6:40Speaker 9: your parents left theirs to come here. They could have
- 6:43Speaker 9: gone anywhere, but they came here. So in my mind,
- 6:45Speaker 9: I'm like, OK, well, then you want to talk about
- 6:46Speaker 9: the work ethic and you want to talk about all
- 6:48Speaker 9: of these things. I'm like, wow, that's a lot.
- 6:50Speaker 3: It's a lot.
- 6:51Speaker 1: If y'all just work so hard and so smart, fix Haiti.
- 6:55Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 6:56Speaker 3: Fix that.
- 6:57Speaker 1: How about that?
- 6:58Speaker 2: If you possess the wherewithal to tell us all of
- 7:02Speaker 2: our problems here and you all are so bright and
- 7:07Speaker 2: work so hard and how lazy we are, then Haiti
- 7:12Speaker 2: has an influx of people that are wasting their energy
- 7:15Speaker 2: over here.
- 7:15Speaker 1: They should go back there and fix Haiti. Yep.
- 7:17Speaker 13: 100%.
- 7:18Speaker 2: And you have the temerity to say– Everything that is
- 7:21Speaker 2: wrong with us in our inner cities and the thing
- 7:23Speaker 2: you ascribe to us is wrong for the entire nation
- 7:26Speaker 2: of Haiti, except and for the exact same reason. It
- 7:29Speaker 2: is because of Anglo, because of European American wanting Haiti
- 7:35Speaker 2: to not do well because, you know, because they didn't
- 7:40Speaker 2: want to do well, just like they don't want black
- 7:41Speaker 2: people to do well.
- 7:42Speaker 1: Why did they attack?
- 7:43Speaker 2: The American education system got attacked in 1970s and it
- 7:47Speaker 2: was on purpose.
- 7:49Speaker 1: So I can't stand that.
- 7:50Speaker 2: The only thing that somebody that was born somewhere else
- 7:52Speaker 2: and get to stay here for the only thing you
- 7:54Speaker 2: should ever say about black people or two black people
- 7:56Speaker 2: is thank you.
- 7:57Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Thank you.
- 7:59Speaker 3: And finally, to end the experience, thank you.
- 8:01Speaker 9: I want to say thank you to the incredible Freddie
- 8:03Speaker 9: Jackson that we lost.
- 8:05Speaker 1: Yes.
- 8:06Speaker 9: Thank you for the countless songs and all the things.
- 8:10Speaker 3: So sad.
- 8:10Speaker 9: You know, he will definitely be missed. We're losing those
- 8:13Speaker 9: that we grew up with. There is an old adage,
- 8:16Speaker 9: an old phrase. I'm sure that many of you are
- 8:19Speaker 9: familiar with it. The expression a grand jury will indict
- 8:24Speaker 9: a ham sandwich. I'm sure you've all heard that bantered
- 8:26Speaker 9: around a bit.
- 8:28Speaker 2: It comes from the fact that the district attorney generally
- 8:31Speaker 2: has so much latitude with the grand jury. that they
- 8:34Speaker 2: can get a grand jury to indict for almost anything.
- 8:38Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, they have about a 99%
- 8:40Speaker 2: literacy rate. Pregnancy tests aren't that, like DNA tests aren't
- 8:46Speaker 2: that effective. Ivory soap isn't that effective. They have around 99%
- 8:51Speaker 2: of the time. As a matter of fact, we had
- 8:53Speaker 2: a grand jury that this year indicted somebody because a
- 8:57Speaker 2: pool was green.
- 8:59Speaker 1: But we don't have a.
- 9:01Speaker 2: Grand jury that indicts someone because a young man is
- 9:03Speaker 2: found floating in a body of water. A grand jury
- 9:08Speaker 2: will indict a ham sandwich cake, indict a homestead. We
- 9:11Speaker 2: have watched anyone, any number of Trump's political opponents and
- 9:16Speaker 2: enemies be indicted for frivolous reasons. We watched them attack
- 9:20Speaker 2: members of the press, former FBI agents, former elected officials,
- 9:26Speaker 2: because when he wants somebody indicted, they are despite little
- 9:30Speaker 2: to no evidence. How many of them have been thrown
- 9:32Speaker 2: out because they're so frivolous? Here we have a situation
- 9:36Speaker 2: where a young man was found floating face down in
- 9:39Speaker 2: a pool of water with dubious circumstances. Even the autopsy
- 9:44Speaker 2: report can't say what the cause of death was. And
- 9:47Speaker 2: you'll have any number of right-wing social media influencers trying
- 9:52Speaker 2: to tell you about dry drowning. Now, you can drown
- 9:55Speaker 2: your sorrows. You can drown in red tape. You can
- 9:59Speaker 2: drown your fears.
- 10:00Speaker 13: Away.
- 10:01Speaker 2: You can drown in debt. It's very hard to drown
- 10:04Speaker 2: face down in the body of water. And that is
- 10:07Speaker 2: how far people are going to explain this. And the
- 10:09Speaker 2: bottom line is, if you can indict somebody for scraping
- 10:13Speaker 2: a pool with your soul with strange credulity, you can't
- 10:17Speaker 2: indict someone For having a young man come up dead
- 10:21Speaker 2: in dubious circumstances, that is about desire.
- 10:25Speaker 1: And at any other.
- 10:25Speaker 2: Point in this nation's history, even if it were an
- 10:29Speaker 2: administration that necessarily wasn't even fond of black people, at
- 10:32Speaker 2: any other point, the feds would be called in. As
- 10:35Speaker 2: a matter of fact, Nolan Wells, he met his end
- 10:40Speaker 2: on federal land. 94%, the feds own 94% of that island.
- 10:45Speaker 1: A private owner owns six. So it happened on federal land.
- 10:50Speaker 2: There is the feds will be calling in to investigate
- 10:53Speaker 2: this rash of black people that are being hung all
- 10:57Speaker 2: over the country. I said this before and I don't
- 11:00Speaker 2: think people quite got what it was. I said that
- 11:02Speaker 2: there is a reason if you live in a black
- 11:04Speaker 2: blue state or a blue city or if you're black,
- 11:07Speaker 2: brown or yellow, you really do not have any federal
- 11:11Speaker 2: representation at all.
- 11:13Speaker 1: You are on your own.
- 11:14Speaker 8: No one would.
- 11:15Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, no one from this administration
- 11:17Speaker 2: has mentioned it.
- 11:19Speaker 1: At all, the grass of dead people.
- 11:21Speaker 2: Nobody has mentioned at all what happened to Nolan Wales,
- 11:24Speaker 2: no elected official of any note. Nobody from the FBI,
- 11:27Speaker 2: nobody from the Trump administration, barely somebody from governance, not
- 11:31Speaker 2: even a senator.
- 11:31Speaker 1: They've stayed away from it. Any other point, the feds
- 11:34Speaker 1: would be called in.
- 11:35Speaker 2: But there is a reason at the beginning of this term,
- 11:38Speaker 2: they got rid of the Southern Poverty Law Center.
- 11:40Speaker 1: Remember that? They indicted them for being what they called racist.
- 11:43Speaker 2: There's a reason why the Civil Rights Division of the
- 11:46Speaker 2: Trump administration is all white. There is a reason why
- 11:50Speaker 2: this district attorney and others do not feel a sense
- 11:54Speaker 2: of urgency because they know no one is going to
- 11:57Speaker 2: hold them to account. But they also should know this,
- 12:01Speaker 2: that we are not going to look the other way.
- 12:03Speaker 2: That one day there will be another administration. And murder
- 12:07Speaker 2: does not have a statute of limitations. This was about desire.
- 12:12Speaker 2: This was about a district attorney who wanted to. This
- 12:16Speaker 2: is about the feds who want to. So the next
- 12:19Speaker 2: time somebody tells you that your vote doesn't make a
- 12:23Speaker 2: difference and all these administrations are the same, do you
- 12:25Speaker 2: actually believe that an administration headed by Kamala Harris would
- 12:28Speaker 2: be doing nothing right now, saying nothing right now? This
- 12:32Speaker 2: is about desire. This is about wanting to. This is
- 12:35Speaker 2: about somebody wanting to get to the bottom of it.
- 12:38Speaker 2: And somebody in authority. And the reason they don't, the
- 12:42Speaker 2: reason nothing's happening, because they don't want to.
- 12:46Speaker 1: That's a little note from the GED section. She's jazz.
- 12:49Speaker 3: She's smart. It's the Jazzy Report on the D.L.
- 12:54Speaker 1: Hughley Show.
- 12:56Speaker 2: And now it's time for the Jazzy Report.
- 12:59Speaker 9: Latino voters that helped propel Donald Trump back to the
- 13:02Speaker 9: White House are now turning on him. According to a
- 13:05Speaker 9: new poll, a shift that gives Dems a major opportunity.
- 13:08Speaker 9: to capitalize in a 2026 election that could hinge on
- 13:11Speaker 9: states and districts with sizable Latino populations. Latino voters are
- 13:16Speaker 9: wracked by major concerns about high prices and, of course,
- 13:20Speaker 9: Trump's approach to immigration.
- 13:22Speaker 6: So all of the redrawing those district lines kind of
- 13:25Speaker 6: blew up in their face, huh?
- 13:26Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 13:27Speaker 1: You want to stay? Vote this way. Don't vote for them.
- 13:30Speaker 3: And we warned them.
- 13:31Speaker 1: We warned everybody.
- 13:32Speaker 3: Nobody listened. Nobody listened.
- 13:34Speaker 1: They never do.
- 13:34Speaker 3: They never do. What is it?
- 13:37Speaker 9: A hard head makes a soft Well, just one pint
- 13:40Speaker 9: of beer a day. increases the risk of joint disease, osteoarthritis.
- 13:48Speaker 9: Researchers found that heavy drinkers had an 18.6% higher risk
- 13:52Speaker 9: of the disease compared to non-drinkers. And that risk was
- 13:55Speaker 9: found to increase with every additional drink that you have,
- 13:59Speaker 9: even after accounting for body weight and liver function.
- 14:03Speaker 4: Wow.
- 14:03Speaker 1: Help me out of this chair so I can get
- 14:05Speaker 1: another drink.
- 14:06Speaker 10: Yep, yep.
- 14:07Speaker 3: I mean, if you're going to grow old, you might
- 14:09Speaker 3: as well grow old happy.
- 14:10Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't like beer, though. I'm doomed.
- 14:14Speaker 3: You don't? I like a good beer.
- 14:16Speaker 1: I like a good IPA.
- 14:17Speaker 3: I know. In the summertime. I can go ahead and
- 14:20Speaker 3: let me set the scene. I can tell.
- 14:22Speaker 9: In your backyard, your big pool, you sitting there, you know,
- 14:25Speaker 9: next to your big built-in grill and your cigar and
- 14:28Speaker 9: a nice cold one.
- 14:30Speaker 1: Oh, yes, yes, yes.
- 14:32Speaker 9: It has to be super cold.
- 14:34Speaker 3: I'll take it.
- 14:35Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
- 14:35Speaker 3: Ice cold? Stop it.
- 14:36Speaker 2: Oh, man.
- 14:37Speaker 1: That's the only way I can drink them.
- 14:38Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 14:39Speaker 2: So this is interesting. A woman tells a story of
- 14:41Speaker 2: her adult son moving back in. He didn't come by himself.
- 14:43Speaker 2: He came with his wife. Take a listen to this.
- 14:45Speaker 11: What would you do in this situation? Your 29 year
- 14:49Speaker 11: old son and his 27 year old girlfriend comes to
- 14:52Speaker 11: you and your husband and ask y'all, could they come
- 14:55Speaker 11: and stay at the house with y'all? they paid $ 3, 700
- 14:59Speaker 11: a month in rent and they've been doing this for
- 15:01Speaker 11: the last three years, but now they need a little
- 15:03Speaker 11: break and they needed to downsize in their payment. So
- 15:06Speaker 11: they're going to be looking for something different. So they
- 15:07Speaker 11: didn't want to renew their lease. So you and your
- 15:10Speaker 11: husband talked about it and y'all came back and said,
- 15:12Speaker 11: That's fine. How long are y'all planning to stay? Your
- 15:15Speaker 11: son and his girlfriend responds, it should be no more
- 15:19Speaker 11: than a year. So y'all said, OK, cool. For the
- 15:21Speaker 11: first month, y'all don't have to pay anything because y'all
- 15:24Speaker 11: might be out of here within the first month. But
- 15:27Speaker 11: after that, you have to pay $ 600 a month. You
- 15:29Speaker 11: have to contribute $ 600 a month towards the household bills.
- 15:33Speaker 11: So the girlfriend says, what's the purpose of coming home
- 15:36Speaker 11: if you have to pay your parents rent? You respond
- 15:39Speaker 11: by saying you can go live with your mother. She says,
- 15:43Speaker 11: my mother doesn't have a house. And you said, exactly.
- 15:47Speaker 11: But you got to pay for where you lay. And
- 15:48Speaker 11: y'all are grown. Y'all are not children anymore. If you're
- 15:52Speaker 11: adult children, we mean if.
- 15:55Speaker 2: Your adult children live with you, you think they should
- 15:57Speaker 2: pay rent or is that part of parenthood?
- 15:59Speaker 1: That's the question we got to pose to you.
- 16:00Speaker 11: 877-242-2426.

- 16:09Speaker 1: So take a listen.
- 16:11Speaker 11: What would you do in this situation? Your 29-year-old son
- 16:15Speaker 11: and his 27-year-old girlfriend comes to you and your husband
- 16:19Speaker 11: and asks y'all, could they come and stay at the
- 16:22Speaker 11: house with y'all? They paid $ 3, 700 a month in rent
- 16:26Speaker 11: and they've been doing this for the last three years,
- 16:28Speaker 11: but now they need a little break and they needed
- 16:29Speaker 11: to downsize in their payment. So they're going to be
- 16:32Speaker 11: looking for something different. So they didn't want to renew
- 16:34Speaker 11: their lease. So you and your husband talked about it
- 16:36Speaker 11: and y'all came back and said, that's fine. How long
- 16:39Speaker 11: are y'all planning to stay? Your son and his girlfriend responds,
- 16:43Speaker 11: it should be no more than a year. So y'all said, okay, cool.
- 16:47Speaker 11: For the first month, y'all don't have to pay anything
- 16:49Speaker 11: because y'all might be out of here within the first month.
- 16:52Speaker 11: But after that, you have to pay $ 600 a month.
- 16:55Speaker 11: You have to contribute $ 600 a month towards the household bills.
- 16:58Speaker 11: So the girlfriend says, what's the purpose of coming home
- 17:02Speaker 11: if you have to pay your parents rent? You respond
- 17:05Speaker 11: by saying, you can go live with your mother. She says,
- 17:09Speaker 11: My mother doesn't have a house. And you said exactly.
- 17:12Speaker 11: But you got to pay for where you lay. And
- 17:14Speaker 11: y'all are grown. Y'all are not children anymore.
- 17:17Speaker 2: So kids move back home. Now they move back home.
- 17:19Speaker 2: We bought his wife with him. Should they pay rent
- 17:21Speaker 2: or is that part of parenting? We're going to go
- 17:22Speaker 2: to our social media platforms. Skip, what are they saying?
- 17:26Speaker 6: Jamal in Oak Cliff, Texas, says you moving back in
- 17:30Speaker 6: my everybody grown in my house got to pay.
- 17:33Speaker 1: That's old school. Yeah, I used to believe that.
- 17:35Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 17:36Speaker 2: But, you know, it's such a different world out there now.
- 17:39Speaker 1: Yeah, move over.
- 17:40Speaker 3: I'm moving in.
- 17:41Speaker 1: Such a different world.
- 17:41Speaker 3: That's how it goes nowadays.
- 17:43Speaker 1: Yeah, it's such a different world.
- 17:45Speaker 8: It's like.
- 17:45Speaker 1: Stop it. I gave it a shot. Trey's graduating in
- 17:48Speaker 1: a little over a month, a month or two months.
- 17:49Speaker 3: He'll be home. Him and his girlfriend, Lisa.
- 17:52Speaker 1: Oh, hell no.
- 17:54Speaker 3: Who's Lisa? My new girlfriend.
- 17:56Speaker 2: Yeah. Ryan Tyler went to school and bought a friend
- 17:59Speaker 2: home from school. And now she has a baby. And
- 18:03Speaker 2: now I got to put that baby. I got to
- 18:05Speaker 2: get that baby a college fund.
- 18:06Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't ask for none of this. I
- 18:07Speaker 1: don't want none of it. Wow. I'm going to give
- 18:10Speaker 1: him your number.
- 18:10Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 18:11Speaker 1: You're a good dude. Yeah. Just moving in. I told
- 18:14Speaker 1: you that Kiki lived with me for years, and when
- 18:16Speaker 1: I would go downstairs, she'd cover up, like, hey, girl,
- 18:18Speaker 1: don't nobody, get out. Yeah. It is the D.R. Hughley Show,
- 18:22Speaker 1: your 2026 edition. Take a listen to this.
- 18:24Speaker 11: Your 29-year-old son and his 27-year-old girlfriend comes to you
- 18:28Speaker 11: and your husband and asks y'all, could they come and
- 18:32Speaker 11: stay at the house with y'all? They paid $ 3, 700 a
- 18:35Speaker 11: month in rent and they've been doing this for the
- 18:37Speaker 11: last three years, but now they need a little break
- 18:39Speaker 11: and they needed to downsize in their payment. So they're
- 18:42Speaker 11: going to be looking for something different. So they didn't
- 18:43Speaker 11: want to renew their lease. So you and your husband
- 18:46Speaker 11: talked about it and y'all came back and said.
- 18:48Speaker 3: That's fine.
- 18:49Speaker 11: How long are y'all planning to stay? Your son and
- 18:52Speaker 11: his girlfriend responds, it should be no more than a year.
- 18:55Speaker 11: So y'all said, OK, cool. For the first month, y'all
- 18:58Speaker 11: don't have to pay anything because y'all might be out
- 19:00Speaker 11: of here within the first month. But after that, you
- 19:03Speaker 11: have to pay six hundred dollars a month. You have
- 19:05Speaker 11: to contribute six hundred dollars a month towards the household bills.
- 19:08Speaker 11: So the girlfriend says, what's the purpose of coming home
- 19:12Speaker 11: if you have to pay your parents rent? You respond
- 19:15Speaker 11: by saying, you can go live with your mother. She says,
- 19:19Speaker 11: my mother doesn't have a house. And you said, exactly.
- 19:22Speaker 11: But you got to pay for where you lay. And
- 19:24Speaker 11: y'all are grown. Y'all are not children anymore.
- 19:27Speaker 2: So a man moves back in with not only himself,
- 19:29Speaker 2: but his wife. Y'all going to look dumb as hell
- 19:31Speaker 2: being married, sleeping on little Batman sheets, but okay.
- 19:35Speaker 3: Better get some good.
- 19:36Speaker 2: Sleep, though. Should they pay rent, or is that just
- 19:41Speaker 2: part of parenting? What do you think, Janet Sanders?
- 19:43Speaker 9: I think they should pay something. They may not have
- 19:45Speaker 9: to pay total rent, but I think, you know, you're
- 19:48Speaker 9: there now.
- 19:48Speaker 3: You're an adult. and you brought a companion.
- 19:51Speaker 9: You know, I think it's only fair that you pay
- 19:53Speaker 9: a little something, you know, you got five on it, something.
- 19:57Speaker 3: Yeah, a little bit because guess what? Now more water
- 20:00Speaker 3: will be used. So the water bill is going to
- 20:02Speaker 3: go up.
- 20:03Speaker 1: More electricity.
- 20:03Speaker 3: Electricity bill is going to go up. Somebody is going
- 20:06Speaker 3: to be eating up a lot of food in the house, right?
- 20:08Speaker 9: Because you tend to just go in the refrigerator and
- 20:10Speaker 9: just eat. You don't think about who bought it or
- 20:12Speaker 9: whose it is.
- 20:13Speaker 3: So, yeah, you should kick in something.
- 20:14Speaker 1: You're not a kid no more.
- 20:15Speaker 8: Get out.
- 20:16Speaker 3: That's right.
- 20:18Speaker 1: What do you think?
- 20:18Speaker 2: Do you think that they should pay rent?
- 20:22Speaker 1: Juniors, do you think they should? Definitely.
- 20:24Speaker 15: I mean, you got to contribute to the household. I mean,
- 20:26Speaker 15: especially if you're two grown people and you got a
- 20:29Speaker 15: job and you're all back in the house, of course, you're.
- 20:32Speaker 8: Going to contribute.
- 20:33Speaker 6: Your baby girl did not pay rent. She was good
- 20:36Speaker 6: and grown when she moved out.
- 20:36Speaker 1: Yeah, she did before she left. And she did it
- 20:38Speaker 1: of her own volition, which was a beautiful thing. Okay,
- 20:41Speaker 1: you took it, but you didn't ask her to. Yeah,
- 20:43Speaker 1: we saved it.
- 20:44Speaker 15: And then when she was ready to move, she got
- 20:46Speaker 15: it back, and that was her down payment.
- 20:48Speaker 1: But you didn't. She didn't pay rent. Oh, she got
- 20:51Speaker 1: it back.
- 20:51Speaker 15: Rob and Peter. But in this scenario, she never left.
- 20:56Speaker 15: You're talking about somebody who came back.
- 20:58Speaker 1: She was.
- 21:01Speaker 3: She came back after college.
- 21:03Speaker 1: No, she never left. She lived at home when she
- 21:05Speaker 1: went to college.
- 21:06Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 21:07Speaker 3: Did she have a friend living there, too? No, she
- 21:09Speaker 3: didn't do that.
- 21:11Speaker 1: She ain't got a friend now. What she need a
- 21:14Speaker 1: friend for? Daddy pay for everything.
- 21:15Speaker 3: I know, that's right.
- 21:16Speaker 1: Don't drop by. When she got a paper, she contributed.
- 21:22Speaker 1: I respected her for that. Well, you gave her her
- 21:25Speaker 1: money back, so you... Yeah, come on. It was just
- 21:29Speaker 1: money she didn't have to borrow from you is what happened.
- 21:31Speaker 1: The bank of daddy.
- 21:33Speaker 3: Oh, everybody likes the bank of daddy.
- 21:35Speaker 8: Everybody does.
- 21:36Speaker 1: I don't. Daddy don't. Not at all. So this is
- 21:42Speaker 1: the audio.
- 21:43Speaker 11: Your 29-year-old son and his 27-year-old girlfriend comes to you
- 21:47Speaker 11: and your husband and asks y'all, could they come and
- 21:50Speaker 11: stay at the house with y'all? They paid $ 3, 700 a
- 21:55Speaker 11: month in rent and they've been doing this for the
- 21:56Speaker 11: last three years, but now they need a little break
- 21:58Speaker 11: and they needed a downsize in their payment. So they're
- 22:01Speaker 11: going to be looking for something different. So they didn't
- 22:03Speaker 11: want to renew their lease. So you and your husband
- 22:05Speaker 11: talked about it and y'all came back and said.
- 22:07Speaker 1: That's fine.
- 22:08Speaker 11: How long are y'all planning to stay? Your son and
- 22:11Speaker 11: his girlfriend responds. It should be no more than a year.
- 22:14Speaker 11: So y'all said, OK, cool. For the first month, y'all
- 22:18Speaker 11: don't have to pay anything because y'all might be out
- 22:20Speaker 11: of here within.
- 22:20Speaker 1: The first month.
- 22:21Speaker 11: But after that, you have to pay six hundred dollars
- 22:24Speaker 11: a month. You have to contribute six hundred dollars a
- 22:26Speaker 11: month towards the household bills. So the girlfriend says, what's
- 22:30Speaker 11: the purpose of coming home if you have to pay
- 22:32Speaker 11: your parents rent? You respond by saying, you can go
- 22:36Speaker 11: live with your mother. She says, my mother doesn't have
- 22:39Speaker 11: a house. And you said, exactly. But you got to
- 22:42Speaker 11: pay for where you lay. And y'all are grown. Y'all
- 22:44Speaker 11: are not children anymore.
- 22:46Speaker 1: Do you think she had a point? Should they pay rent?
- 22:49Speaker 1: Or is that just part of parenting and going right.
- 22:50Speaker 16: To the phone? Yes, I just feel like as an
- 22:53Speaker 16: adult and being a couple adult moving into someone else's home,
- 22:59Speaker 16: you have to to the household. You got to be. Like,
- 23:05Speaker 16: you freeloading.
- 23:07Speaker 17: If it was my kids, they would definitely be paying.
- 23:10Speaker 17: Because parenting, like Bill said, we already did that part.
- 23:15Speaker 4: They are adults now.
- 23:17Speaker 17: It's their time to pay.
- 23:18Speaker 11: Be adults.
- 23:19Speaker 17: I'm going to have to go all the way back
- 23:21Speaker 17: on this one.
- 23:22Speaker 18: I recall that Adam was given a house, a job,
- 23:27Speaker 18: before he got Eve, right?
- 23:30Speaker 19: So, if.
- 23:32Speaker 17: It was good for Adam.
- 23:34Speaker 18: It should probably be good for my child too, my
- 23:36Speaker 18: son especially.
- 23:38Speaker 4: Now, had he worked and gotten a house and.
- 23:43Speaker 18: Had a job, he might have made a better selection
- 23:46Speaker 18: than a woman who could appreciate those things and therefore
- 23:50Speaker 18: would understand that there is no free ticket in this life. Now,
- 23:54Speaker 18: you want to come home and live up on me
- 23:56Speaker 18: and my man?
- 23:57Speaker 7: I did the right things. He did the right things.
- 24:00Speaker 10: The answer simply is no.
- 24:02Speaker 1: No.
- 24:02Speaker 10: Yeah, they're going to pay rent. You got to pay
- 24:05Speaker 10: where you lay. Because bottom line is, not only is
- 24:08Speaker 10: my light bill going up, my water bill going up,
- 24:11Speaker 10: my gas bill going up, because of two extra individuals,
- 24:15Speaker 10: everything is going up. My food, whatever. Because they're going
- 24:18Speaker 10: to be using these amenities. So, yeah, you got to
- 24:21Speaker 10: pay where you lay. If my 17-year-old grandson, who has
- 24:25Speaker 10: a job... pays me for the room that he's staying in,
- 24:29Speaker 10: what makes you think a grown, whole-ass man and woman
- 24:33Speaker 10: going to have to do? Yeah, they're going to pay.
- 24:36Speaker 10: Definitely going to pay. Like the guy said, I mean,
- 24:38Speaker 10: the lady said, maybe the first month, I'm going to
- 24:41Speaker 10: cut you some slack. But after that, you have to
- 24:44Speaker 10: contribute money. contribute to this household utilities. And $ 600 a
- 24:51Speaker 10: month for two people is not a bad thing at all.
- 24:54Speaker 10: And if she's so salty about having to move home,
- 24:58Speaker 10: tell her to call her mama up and get a house. But, yeah,
- 25:02Speaker 10: they don't have to pay, period.
- 25:04Speaker 20: I have a 26-year-old daughter who moved back home for college,
- 25:08Speaker 20: so that's fine. But if she's to come back home
- 25:10Speaker 20: with a husband, absolutely not. I would not let them
- 25:14Speaker 20: two grown adults live in my house rent-free in your couple. No,
- 25:19Speaker 20: absolutely not.
- 25:20Speaker 21: I say absolutely they should have to pay rent. I
- 25:23Speaker 21: have two adult daughters that have come back home, and
- 25:28Speaker 21: both of them had to pay rent. and contribute to
- 25:31Speaker 21: the household cleaning.
- 25:32Speaker 1: So here's the audio.
- 25:33Speaker 11: Your 29-year-old son and his 27-year-old girlfriend comes to you
- 25:38Speaker 11: and your husband and asks y'all, could they come and
- 25:41Speaker 11: stay at the house with y'all? They pay $ 3, 700 a
- 25:45Speaker 11: month in rent, and they've been doing this for the
- 25:47Speaker 11: last three years, but now they need a little break,
- 25:49Speaker 11: and they need to downsize in their payment. So they're
- 25:51Speaker 11: going to be looking for something different, so they want
- 25:53Speaker 11: to renew their lease. So you and your husband talked
- 25:56Speaker 11: about it, and y'all came back and said, That's fine.
- 25:58Speaker 11: How long are y'all planning to stay? Your son and
- 26:01Speaker 11: his girlfriend responds, it should be no more than a year.
- 26:05Speaker 11: So y'all said, OK, cool. For the first month, y'all
- 26:08Speaker 11: don't have to pay anything because y'all might be out
- 26:10Speaker 11: of here within the first month. But after that, you
- 26:13Speaker 11: have to pay $ 600 a month. You have to contribute
- 26:16Speaker 11: $ 600 a month towards the household bills. So the girlfriend says,
- 26:20Speaker 11: what's the purpose of coming home if you have to
- 26:22Speaker 11: pay your parents rent? You respond by saying, you can
- 26:26Speaker 11: go live with your mother. She says, my mother doesn't
- 26:30Speaker 11: have a house. And you said, exactly. But you got
- 26:33Speaker 11: to pay for where you lay. And y'all are grown.
- 26:35Speaker 11: Y'all are not children anymore.
- 26:38Speaker 2: Do you think that they should pay rent or is
- 26:39Speaker 2: that just part of parenting.
- 26:40Speaker 1: Going right to their phones?
- 26:41Speaker 4: Hey, let me tell you something. First of all, I'm
- 26:43Speaker 4: calling from St. Martinville, Louisiana. And I'm telling you, indeed,
- 26:46Speaker 4: they would have to pay or get their hell on out.
- 26:49Speaker 4: For real. They got to pay. If I got to pay,
- 26:53Speaker 4: they have to pay.
- 26:54Speaker 1: And that's all it is.
- 26:55Speaker 4: Period. I sure appreciate my voice being up there with you.
- 26:58Speaker 4: Thank you. Y'all stay strong.
- 26:59Speaker 1: Love y'all.
- 27:00Speaker 13: And it's funny because I literally just had this conversation
- 27:03Speaker 13: with my 21 year old last night. I think we should.
- 27:08Speaker 13: And I wish that I started this earlier. when they
- 27:11Speaker 13: were fresh out and working. For her, we came up
- 27:16Speaker 13: with a plan. You know, it's hard out here to
- 27:18Speaker 13: live on your own.
- 27:19Speaker 16: It is.
- 27:20Speaker 13: It's hard. So instead of you moving right out on
- 27:23Speaker 13: your own, yes, pay rent. Pay $ 800 a month, $ 400
- 27:26Speaker 13: to the rent, $ 400 to your savings. And in a
- 27:32Speaker 13: year to two years, take that money. Go buy a
- 27:35Speaker 13: piece of land. Go put a house or buy your
- 27:38Speaker 13: own house so that you then have something for yourself.
- 27:41Speaker 13: That is what I think that we should do for
- 27:43Speaker 13: our children. They have to learn responsibility. We're not going
- 27:48Speaker 13: to be here forever to provide for them, and they
- 27:51Speaker 13: have to learn that. If you just throw them out
- 27:54Speaker 13: there when you're no longer able to do it, how
- 27:56Speaker 13: are they going to strive and survive?
- 27:58Speaker 19: They need to have just a clear plan. understanding the
- 28:03Speaker 19: parents are asking for $ 600 and they were paying $ 3, 700.
- 28:07Speaker 19: They need to let them know that this is an
- 28:10Speaker 19: exercise and you get them back on your feet. This
- 28:12Speaker 19: is not an exercise where I'm fixing your life. So
- 28:15Speaker 19: if you're only asked to pay $ 600, that gives you
- 28:19Speaker 19: all the money that you were going to pay to
- 28:21Speaker 19: get your life together. getting on your feet, give them
- 28:24Speaker 19: 60 days. Give them two seasons. If they move in
- 28:27Speaker 19: in the winter, after the spring, they need to be
- 28:30Speaker 19: gone in the summer. If they move in in the summer,
- 28:33Speaker 19: they need to be gone after two seasons. Don't come
- 28:35Speaker 19: in the winter and then the snow melts and then
- 28:37Speaker 19: you come back and snow is falling again. No, I'm
- 28:39Speaker 19: fixing your life now. So that is one of those
- 28:42Speaker 19: things where if they understand, They can take it or
- 28:45Speaker 19: leave it. You're here for six months. You can contribute.
- 28:48Speaker 19: If you have money coming in that they work, it
- 28:50Speaker 19: would be considerate of them to want to contribute. They
- 28:53Speaker 19: shouldn't want to live off it and, you know, act
- 28:55Speaker 19: like they're entitled. So the parents need to let them know,
- 28:58Speaker 19: I'm trying to help you out and contribute where you can,
- 29:01Speaker 19: even if it's not 600.
- 29:03Speaker 8: Contribute.
- 29:03Speaker 19: But in 60 days or in two seasons, you need
- 29:06Speaker 19: to be on your feet because you're going to have
- 29:08Speaker 19: to exit.
- 29:09Speaker 17: Look, everybody's situation is different. Parents, grandparents, whoever it is.
- 29:14Speaker 17: Let these kids, children, sister, brother, whoever it is, live
- 29:17Speaker 17: with you a couple of months and raise that line,
- 29:19Speaker 17: that boundary. Look, after this amount of time, you got
- 29:22Speaker 17: to pay some bills in here. Electric costs mortgage now.
- 29:26Speaker 17: Food costs mortgage payments or car payments. You got to
- 29:30Speaker 17: pay something. You can't live here free, but I'm.
- 29:32Speaker 19: Going to help you out.
- 29:34Speaker 4: But you're going to pay something.
- 29:36Speaker 7: You're paying $ 3, 700 a month rent.
- 29:39Speaker 10: And you want to.
- 29:40Speaker 7: move in with mommy and daddy, and.
- 29:42Speaker 17: $ 600 is a problem, go.
- 29:45Speaker 7: To the Motel 6 and get you some bed bugs.
- 29:47Speaker 7: Because if you can't help where you're going to stay,
- 29:51Speaker 7: you need to just go anywhere and stay. Just sleep
- 29:53Speaker 7: at the laundromat, anything will do. And parents were good
- 29:57Speaker 7: because $ 600 is a blessing. $ 1, 500 would not be bad
- 30:02Speaker 7: room and board.
- 30:02Speaker 2: Now it's time for the streaming movie review with Alebo,
- 30:05Speaker 2: the streaming hack warrior.
- 30:06Speaker 5: What's that, Alibo?
- 30:20Speaker 8: You know what I'm hearing.
- 30:22Speaker 4: What?
- 30:23Speaker 12: People are saying the AI, artificial intelligence, will take over
- 30:29Speaker 12: the country.
- 30:30Speaker 8: You know where I am from?
- 30:31Speaker 12: The A in the I stands for African Intelligence. And yes,
- 30:36Speaker 12: the A in the I part is already bad. But
- 30:40Speaker 12: wait till the A in the I in my country
- 30:43Speaker 12: is joined by EO and U.
- 30:47Speaker 8: And sometimes the Y. Uh-oh. That's A-E-I-O-U. And sometimes the Y. Together.
- 30:54Speaker 1: Uh-oh. What did it mean?
- 30:56Speaker 8: That's not just a robot. That's all the vowels in
- 30:59Speaker 8: one room.
- 31:01Speaker 12: That's a robot who will destroy you and give you
- 31:04Speaker 12: the side eye.
- 31:04Speaker 8: I'm serious. That is when it starts to get crazy.
- 31:09Speaker 12: Crazy like thanksgiving when two uncles that don't like each
- 31:12Speaker 12: other and one of them keep passing the guy it's
- 31:15Speaker 12: like the family group chat at two in the morning
- 31:18Speaker 12: like a cookout where the potato salad has a secret
- 31:22Speaker 12: and nobody tells you what it is it's a vow
- 31:26Speaker 12: reunion dear my home brother and no one is safe
- 31:29Speaker 12: i'm serious Today's movie has nothing to do with A & I,
- 31:34Speaker 12: but the characters will be using it. The show is
- 31:38Speaker 12: A Different World, starring Maylee DeJoy Moon. Exactly 39 years
- 31:45Speaker 12: after the original, it's a 10-episode single-camera follow-up about Deborah DeWayne.
- 31:52Speaker 12: Dwayne and Wheatley's youngest, who gets bounced from NYU and
- 31:56Speaker 12: must do freshman year at her parents' HBCNU, where she
- 32:01Speaker 12: must escape their shadow and build her own legacy. And
- 32:05Speaker 12: the best thing about this new show is most of
- 32:08Speaker 12: the cast from the original are back.
- 32:11Speaker 8: They are all older and a little bit fat, but
- 32:14Speaker 8: still very funny. I'm serious. The new students are engaging, funny.
- 32:20Speaker 12: This show is like a reunion with good jokes, legacy kids,
- 32:24Speaker 12: first-gen kids, a Guyana Nigerian fashion guy, a church girl
- 32:29Speaker 12: rewriting the rules, and parents who used to be the
- 32:32Speaker 12: plot now running the school.
- 32:36Speaker 8: If you love the old show, you'll like this one.
- 32:39Speaker 8: If it's new for you, it's a fun watch.
- 32:42Speaker 12: It's warm, it's messy, and a little too close to
- 32:46Speaker 12: the nose about building your own legacy.
- 32:49Speaker 8: I like it, and you will too. And if you
- 32:52Speaker 8: come for the glasses, they better flip. I'm serious.
- 32:56Speaker 12: I give this show three and a half handbags. And
- 33:00Speaker 12: if you like A & I... You will love my
- 33:04Speaker 12: new A & I, Elibo Intelligence. Yes, it speaks 2,000 languages.
- 33:11Speaker 12: It's smarter than your chat box.
- 33:13Speaker 8: And ruder, too.
- 33:14Speaker 13: Uh-oh.
- 33:15Speaker 12: Elibo AI has hooked up with Siri and Alexa. You
- 33:20Speaker 12: don't ask it questions. It gives you the information you
- 33:23Speaker 12: need to have. Illegal intelligence.
- 33:26Speaker 8: Intelligence that doesn't need humans to exist. I'm serious.
- 33:31Speaker 12: This is Illegal, your hacking warrior, with the stream hacking
- 33:34Speaker 12: movie review. Stay safe and healthy.
- 33:39Speaker 8: It is the D.L.
- 33:40Speaker 12: Hughley Show, your 2026 edition.
- 33:45Speaker 1: Of Case Closed. You are going to be in Atlanta, Georgia.
- 33:53Speaker 2: I will be there this Friday at the Symphony Hall
- 33:57Speaker 2: with Don Lemon. The DL & DL tour continues in
- 34:00Speaker 2: the following day. We will be at Close Auditorium in Indianapolis.
- 34:04Speaker 2: So come check us out if you're taking us. My book,
- 34:06Speaker 2: Charlie's Boy, is finally out.
- 34:08Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 34:08Speaker 8: All right.
- 34:09Speaker 1: Congratulations. Congratulations.
- 34:12Speaker 3: It's a big deal.
- 34:12Speaker 1: I saw you today. You got your copy, Jasmine?
- 34:14Speaker 3: I do. I ordered a copy, actually.
- 34:17Speaker 1: You did?
- 34:18Speaker 9: I have ordered a copy of every one of your books.
- 34:20Speaker 9: And you know what you have yet to do? Sign
- 34:22Speaker 9: any of them.
- 34:24Speaker 1: You know what I do? You know what I do?
- 34:25Speaker 1: You know what I do? You know what I do?
- 34:27Speaker 1: You know what I do?
- 34:27Speaker 9: We're talking about what you don't do. We're talking about
- 34:30Speaker 9: what you don't do. You can't say, yeah, I'm going
- 34:32Speaker 9: to sign it.
- 34:33Speaker 1: You know what?
- 34:33Speaker 2: I'm not going to let you turn me around. This
- 34:35Speaker 2: is a good day for me. I ain't going to
- 34:36Speaker 2: let you mess it up with your little horrible attitude.
- 34:39Speaker 1: Okay, Moses.
- 34:40Speaker 2: Now, sometimes people get very upset with the things I say,
- 34:42Speaker 2: so we're going to give them an opportunity to express
- 34:44Speaker 2: themselves with our segment called FUDL Hughley. I want you
- 34:46Speaker 2: to please welcome our FUDL Hughley correspondent, Little Nissy James.
- 34:49Speaker 22: Hello, this is Niecy James, your F.U.D.L. Hughley correspondent.
- 34:54Speaker 1: Our first F.U.D.L.
- 34:55Speaker 22: Hughley comment is from Facebook. Choir Leader says, Dale, I
- 35:00Speaker 22: heard you say if a man spends a lot of
- 35:02Speaker 22: time in church, he's most likely gay. You said that
- 35:05Speaker 22: the black church is one of the most gayest places
- 35:07Speaker 22: on earth. Well, here's what I think. You talk about
- 35:10Speaker 22: this subject so much, you're either fighting the calling of
- 35:13Speaker 22: the Holy Spirit or trying to repress your own homosexual feelings.
- 35:17Speaker 3: You should go to church.
- 35:18Speaker 11: And face your feelings.
- 35:19Speaker 22: You'll either develop a new relationship with the Lord or
- 35:22Speaker 22: find yourself a new boyfriend. Our next Ducky D.L. Hughley
- 35:26Speaker 22: comment comes from the D.L.
- 35:28Speaker 1: Hughley Show website.
- 35:29Speaker 22: Second Amendment Protector says, D.L., I stumbled across your little
- 35:33Speaker 22: jigaboo radio station, and I heard you say that assault
- 35:36Speaker 22: rifles should be banned. Why are you panty-wearing, tree-hugging, vegan, uber-uber,
- 35:42Speaker 22: always trying to take away our rights to bear arms?
- 35:44Speaker 22: Someone like you should just shut up and be grateful
- 35:47Speaker 22: to be permitted to live free in this great country.
- 35:50Speaker 22: You could very well still be picking cotton instead of
- 35:52Speaker 22: telling jokes on the radio.
- 35:54Speaker 1: F * * * you, D.O.
- 35:55Speaker 5: Hughley.
- 35:56Speaker 22: Today's last F.U.D.O.
- 35:57Speaker 1: Hughley comment is from Instagram.
- 35:59Speaker 22: D.O., I've been a fan of yours for a long time.
- 36:02Speaker 22: As a matter of fact, The Brothers is my favorite
- 36:05Speaker 22: movie of all time. Why won't you guys get together
- 36:07Speaker 22: and make a Brothers 2? They made sequels to The
- 36:10Speaker 22: Best Man, Barbershop, Friday, and Why Did I Get Married?
- 36:14Speaker 22: There's even talk about another Rush Hour and a Martin reboot.
- 36:17Speaker 22: Why can all these movies and shows get sequels, but
- 36:20Speaker 22: you guys can't get together and make another Brothers?
- 36:22Speaker 3: DL, I know it's your fault.
- 36:24Speaker 1: I heard you're more difficult to work.
- 36:26Speaker 11: With than money.
- 36:27Speaker 1: F * * * you, DL Hughley. Well, that's it
- 36:29Speaker 1: for this week.
- 36:30Speaker 22: This has been Neetie James, your F-U-G-O-E-Z correspondent.
- 36:34Speaker 1: And until next week, bye.
- 36:36Speaker 2: That is going to wrap up the Hugh Leusel home mix.
- 36:38Speaker 2: I'm suspecting that sometime this week we'll have Freddie Jackson.
- 36:41Speaker 1: And Hugh Leusel mix, I'm sure.
- 36:43Speaker 3: Of course.
- 36:43Speaker 6: We're going to honor him on a song from when
- 36:47Speaker 6: your mom and dad were still together.
- 36:50Speaker 1: We can't just have one song for Freddie Jackson. It's
- 36:52Speaker 1: a mix. Let's do both.
- 36:53Speaker 6: He don't do all the tempo songs. Do you have Tonight?
- 36:57Speaker 1: Okay, that's one. You want to play it.
- 36:58Speaker 6: For 20 minutes?
- 37:00Speaker 1: Come on, let's take it nice and slow.
- 37:02Speaker 8: You are a heartless dude, man.
- 37:03Speaker 1: You are a heartless dude. That's why.
- 37:05Speaker 2: I just don't understand how you.
- 37:09Speaker 1: What are you doing? She had another nervous breakdown.
- 37:10Speaker 3: I was jamming in honor of Freddie Jackson. Somebody's got
- 37:13Speaker 3: to do it.
- 37:14Speaker 1: His grave is spinning around now.
- 37:16Speaker 3: Janae. Somebody's got to do this.
- 37:19Speaker 1: All right, it's now time for the Human Being of
- 37:21Speaker 1: the Week.
- 37:23Speaker 8: Sorry, Freddie.
- 37:25Speaker 9: So the Human Being of the Week is John Leden.
- 37:29Speaker 13: What?
- 37:29Speaker 9: As always, doing good stuff outside of performing and singing
- 37:32Speaker 9: and all the rest.
- 37:33Speaker 3: Like, that's not enough.
- 37:34Speaker 9: He also started an initiative to assist students with their
- 37:37Speaker 9: rent at his alma mater, which is the University of Pennsylvania,
- 37:41Speaker 9: but also at a couple of HBCUs, like Central State.
- 37:45Speaker 3: University of Pennsylvania?
- 37:46Speaker 22: Okay.
- 37:46Speaker 3: Yeah, University of Pennsylvania. Wilberforce University.
- 37:50Speaker 9: And basically he talks about how he had to spend
- 37:52Speaker 9: a lot of time hustling and just doing whatever he
- 37:54Speaker 9: could just to pay the rent. So he's like, I
- 37:56Speaker 9: know what it feels like to be a student and
- 37:58Speaker 9: you're out there by yourself and you're in that position
- 37:59Speaker 9: and you don't know what you're going to do. And
- 38:01Speaker 9: so he has started this initiative so that he can
- 38:03Speaker 9: help pay for or at least assist them in covering
- 38:07Speaker 9: their rent for about 50 students.
- 38:09Speaker 3: That's pretty awesome.
- 38:10Speaker 1: He's always doing some good stuff.
- 38:12Speaker 9: Always doing good stuff, for sure. So shout out to
- 38:14Speaker 9: John Legend, who's our human being of the week, as
- 38:17Speaker 9: well as an egot.
- 38:19Speaker 2: Now it's time for what you need to know with
- 38:21Speaker 2: the one and only Sybil Wilkes.
- 38:23Speaker 14: It's Sybil Wilkes with what we need to know. Major
- 38:26Speaker 14: technology executives from OpenAI, Meta, Ananthropic, and Google face intense
- 38:32Speaker 14: questioning during a New York City council meeting on artificial
- 38:35Speaker 14: intelligence safety. As lawmakers introduced 10 regulatory bills while tech
- 38:39Speaker 14: leaders admitted they cannot guarantee AI systems will always follow
- 38:44Speaker 14: safety guardrails. In California, former Vice President Kamala Harris and
- 38:48Speaker 14: Congressional Candidate Richard Pan are facing criticism after excluding select
- 38:52Speaker 14: New Yorkers organizations including the New York Times from a
- 38:55Speaker 14: Sacramento campaign event on Friday. Student protests erupted at Cornell
- 38:59Speaker 14: University over the school's handling of a 2024 sexual assault
- 39:03Speaker 14: case involving the Chi Phi fraternity. Demonstrators painted protest graffiti
- 39:07Speaker 14: on campus buildings as organizers plan a week of action.
- 39:11Speaker 14: And in consumer health, the FDA announced a Class 2
- 39:14Speaker 14: recall of over 122,000 cases of Gatorade across 37 states
- 39:20Speaker 14: due to undeclared food dyes that.
- 39:21Speaker 11: Could trigger allergic reactions.
- 39:24Speaker 1: I'm Sybil Wilkes. Be informed. Be empowered.
- 39:28Speaker 2: Thank you so very kindly, Sybil Jazz. Well, I guess
- 39:31Speaker 2: we're going to keep on keeping on. It's the DL
- 39:33Speaker 2: Hughley Show coming right back at you. It's the DL
- 39:34Speaker 2: Hughley Show. It is the DL Hughley Show, your 2026 edition.
- 39:39Speaker 2: Remember that if you are in Atlanta, Georgia, I'm going
- 39:42Speaker 2: to be at the Symphony Hall, of course, this Friday
- 39:44Speaker 2: with Don Lemon for the DL and DL Anything Goes Tour.
- 39:48Speaker 2: And then the following day, we will be at the Close.
- 39:53Speaker 1: Theater in Indianapolis. So come check me out if you're
- 39:55Speaker 1: taking notes. And my book, Charlie's Boy, is out today.
- 39:57Speaker 1: All right.
- 39:58Speaker 13: Get it.
- 39:59Speaker 1: Turn up the press for it, I guess.
- 40:00Speaker 3: He won't sign it, but get it.
- 40:04Speaker 2: I'm going to sign it. I'm going to sign it.
- 40:06Speaker 2: Doing a ton of press for it. So it's, I
- 40:12Speaker 2: think this is my.
- 40:13Speaker 1: Fifth or sixth book. I don't know. Man.
- 40:15Speaker 3: I think it's your sixth.
- 40:17Speaker 2: I've probably written more than I've ever written, wrote more
- 40:20Speaker 2: than I've ever written. I've actually read a ton of books.
- 40:24Speaker 2: I have read a ton of books.
- 40:26Speaker 1: A ton. I would say... Matchbooks don't count.
- 40:30Speaker 3: Are they more than five pages? I.
- 40:33Speaker 1: Smart.
- 40:34Speaker 3: Pamphlets don't count.
- 40:35Speaker 1: Yeah, Jet Magazine don't even.
- 40:38Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, tell it. What was that other one? He
- 40:39Speaker 3: liked Funny Bunny. What was the one?
- 40:41Speaker 1: Black Tail.
- 40:42Speaker 3: Black Tail. Yeah, that don't count either.
- 40:43Speaker 1: Yeah, no. No, that actually was... One of my favorite articles.
- 40:48Speaker 3: OK.
- 40:49Speaker 1: It was like the playboy is what that's like.
- 40:53Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 40:54Speaker 1: I would never do that now. But, you know, I
- 40:56Speaker 1: was trying to.
- 40:57Speaker 2: Anyway, we are honoring. We sometimes men and women just
- 41:01Speaker 2: don't see things out of Jasmine. Give us five weird
- 41:04Speaker 2: things women do according to men by radio host Mandy James.
- 41:08Speaker 19: All right.
- 41:08Speaker 9: Number five of the top five weird things women do.
- 41:11Speaker 9: This is, of course, according to men by shoes that
- 41:13Speaker 9: look really sexy, but they hurt. And you already know
- 41:16Speaker 9: that when you put them on in the store. But
- 41:17Speaker 9: they're so cute. I can never understand.
- 41:20Speaker 3: They're so cute.
- 41:21Speaker 1: I can wear these for about an hour and a half.
- 41:23Speaker 3: Beauty is pain, baby. Beauty is pain. Not really. Not anymore.
- 41:26Speaker 3: I used to think that way.
- 41:27Speaker 9: But post-COVID and I got very comfortable wearing shoes that
- 41:31Speaker 9: were flats.
- 41:32Speaker 3: It's hard to go back. And they're expensive, too.
- 41:34Speaker 1: Good Lord.
- 41:35Speaker 3: Don't let a couple of dollars stop you from buying
- 41:37Speaker 3: what you want.
- 41:38Speaker 9: Anyway, number four of the top five weird things women do,
- 41:40Speaker 9: at least according to men. Getting so upset when men
- 41:44Speaker 9: leave the toilet seat up.
- 41:45Speaker 10: Yes.
- 41:46Speaker 8: Why?
- 41:46Speaker 1: What do you mean why?
- 41:47Speaker 3: I'm tired of my butt getting wet. That's why.
- 41:49Speaker 1: Look for your leap.
- 41:52Speaker 3: Well, why don't you drop it before you turn?
- 41:54Speaker 1: Hey, look, look.
- 41:54Speaker 3: I got to pick it up.
- 41:55Speaker 7: You lifted it.
- 41:55Speaker 1: You got to put it down.
- 41:56Speaker 3: You lifted it.
- 41:57Speaker 1: Can you put it back down?
- 41:58Speaker 6: That's like me going in there and peeing. Oh, you
- 42:00Speaker 6: left the top down. I got to pee all over it.
- 42:01Speaker 3: Well, because it goes down. That's how it goes.
- 42:03Speaker 9: As a matter of fact, as a standard practice.
- 42:06Speaker 3: You should put the whole lid down, as a matter
- 42:08Speaker 3: of fact, to keep germs from spreading. Did you know that?
- 42:10Speaker 1: Okay.
- 42:11Speaker 3: I didn't think so.
- 42:12Speaker 9: Number three of the top five weird things women do
- 42:14Speaker 9: according to men. Oh, saying that you don't have an
- 42:17Speaker 9: opinion on where to eat. And then hate all the
- 42:20Speaker 9: options that.
- 42:21Speaker 15: Somebody else has.
- 42:21Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
- 42:22Speaker 3: I'm very guilty of that. I'm just going to tell you.
- 42:24Speaker 1: I don't care. Get whatever you want.
- 42:26Speaker 6: Okay, I'm going to stop here.
- 42:26Speaker 3: I don't like that.
- 42:27Speaker 1: I don't want that.
- 42:28Speaker 3: Okay, I'll stop here.
- 42:29Speaker 1: I don't like that.
- 42:30Speaker 3: I don't like that.
- 42:30Speaker 1: But I don't care.
- 42:31Speaker 3: It's whatever.
- 42:31Speaker 1: And then when they order it, they change it like
- 42:33Speaker 1: 15 times.
- 42:34Speaker 15: Oh, and take that out and then put this in.
- 42:36Speaker 9: There's nothing wrong with that part. But I will order
- 42:38Speaker 9: something that I'm not quite sure of and then just
- 42:40Speaker 9: eat yours.
- 42:41Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 42:41Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 42:41Speaker 14: Thanks.
- 42:42Speaker 1: Appreciate it.
- 42:42Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 42:43Speaker 1: I don't want anything to eat all yours.
- 42:46Speaker 9: Number two of the top five weird things women do
- 42:48Speaker 9: according to men. Ah, putting decorative soaps right by the
- 42:52Speaker 9: sink and then get mad when someone uses them.
- 42:54Speaker 1: Too bad. Yeah.
- 42:56Speaker 3: I'm not really into the decorative soap.
- 42:58Speaker 1: I don't do that.
- 42:59Speaker 3: That's kind of old school. That and the towels. We
- 43:01Speaker 3: don't do that.
- 43:02Speaker 1: Yeah, liquid soap and took over that. Yeah, get a
- 43:04Speaker 1: little squirt.
- 43:04Speaker 3: Ain't that the truth? Well, this has it.
- 43:06Speaker 9: The number one of the top five weird things women
- 43:08Speaker 9: do according to men. This is for sure. Say you
- 43:10Speaker 9: don't want fries.
- 43:12Speaker 3: And eat all mine.
- 43:13Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
- 43:14Speaker 3: That's all the time.
- 43:14Speaker 9: And I don't even like french fries. But if you
- 43:16Speaker 9: order them, I'm going to have a few. Boy, they
