- 0:30Speaker 2: you check this out. I went to go see my
- 0:32Speaker 2: dermatologist yesterday. Her name is Pearl Grimes. She's an AKA.
- 0:37Speaker 2: She's so dope. So I get there and they have
- 0:41Speaker 2: a fire drill, but nobody told me.
- 0:44Speaker 6: How bad were your teeth?
- 0:47Speaker 1: Dermatologist is not a dentist.
- 0:49Speaker 7: Yeah. Yeah.
- 0:50Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 0:50Speaker 1: See, see, that's how it happens. That's how rumors start.
- 0:53Speaker 2: And then, uh, so there was a fire drill and
- 0:55Speaker 2: I'm like, why am I going down here for the
- 0:57Speaker 2: fire drill?
- 0:57Speaker 1: Everybody has to go. I don't have to go.
- 0:59Speaker 2: I'm not going down there, but I ended up going
- 1:01Speaker 2: for the fire drill. And only I could get to
- 1:05Speaker 2: a doctor's appointment late and then have to go to
- 1:07Speaker 2: a fire drill.
- 1:08Speaker 1: But Dr.
- 1:09Speaker 4: Lavin, I love a lot.
- 1:10Speaker 1: But Dr. Grimes has probably the best bedside manner. Yep,
- 1:16Speaker 1: she does. She really acts like she's listening to you. No,
- 1:21Speaker 1: she does listen. I remember you gave me her information. Well,
- 1:24Speaker 1: first of all, I found out you gave me her.
- 1:25Speaker 8: Right.
- 1:26Speaker 1: But then you reminded me of her.
- 1:28Speaker 9: And I don't know if you remember, but I had
- 1:29Speaker 9: a little bald spot in the top of my head
- 1:31Speaker 9: and I went to see her and she was like,
- 1:33Speaker 9: come here, baby.
- 1:33Speaker 1: Let me take a look at that. I was like, oh,
- 1:36Speaker 1: let me feel so good. You just in here looking
- 1:39Speaker 1: like a PE teacher. I've been break dancing.
- 1:44Speaker 2: Jasmine looked like Sherman Hemsley in here.
- 1:48Speaker 1: Shut up, DL. No, I didn't have a bald spot
- 1:51Speaker 1: in the front. It was in the middle. That's where
- 1:53Speaker 1: it is. I had a ponytail too tight. Shut up, okay?
- 1:57Speaker 9: That's a reminder to all my sisters out there. Don't
- 1:58Speaker 9: wear your ponytails too tight. I got a little bald
- 2:00Speaker 9: spot right there.
- 2:01Speaker 2: Your menstrual had a symbol for Batman in the middle
- 2:04Speaker 2: of your head.
- 2:06Speaker 1: So she didn't Google it.
- 2:07Speaker 6: What they call it? Tension alopecia or something?
- 2:09Speaker 1: Yeah, that's exactly what it is. You got to be
- 2:10Speaker 1: very careful.
- 2:12Speaker 4: Yeah, she did.
- 2:12Speaker 1: Don't you say a word. You just move on, okay?
- 2:14Speaker 1: I was like, what's with homie the clown right here?
- 2:18Speaker 1: See why I don't tell you nothing? I don't tell
- 2:19Speaker 1: you nothing. Look, she got the same haircut as the
- 2:22Speaker 1: clown from It. That's why.
- 2:25Speaker 10: Shut up.
- 2:25Speaker 7: Let me see that hole in your head.
- 2:27Speaker 1: I'm like, you know what? I can't tell you nothing.
- 2:32Speaker 4: No, she got it together, though.

- 3:46Speaker 2: You can get all the details. Jazz man. Tell these
- 3:50Speaker 2: good people what is threatening.
- 3:51Speaker 1: Well, believe it or not, Lindsay Clancy's back in the news.
- 3:54Speaker 1: People are talking about that because.
- 3:55Speaker 9: Her attorney is asking for an acquittal and basically saying
- 4:00Speaker 9: there's not enough evidence to prove that she killed her children.
- 4:04Speaker 4: Shut up.
- 4:05Speaker 1: They're disputing that. Yep. And then, you know, social media
- 4:08Speaker 1: is having a field. They're like only a white woman
- 4:09Speaker 1: could do this. This is only happen for a white woman. Now,
- 4:12Speaker 1: didn't he also try to get the president to partner
- 4:14Speaker 1: with cancer? Sure did. Nah, take that right back.
- 4:17Speaker 9: This whole case is based on speculation. He's like, where's
- 4:20Speaker 9: the admission? Where does she say she said she did it? Well,
- 4:24Speaker 9: he said she didn't. He said the argument is laughable.
- 4:30Speaker 6: So what, the kids did it to himself?
- 4:32Speaker 1: I guess. So she could she could not be held
- 4:34Speaker 1: criminally responsible.
- 4:36Speaker 9: And they and of course, going back to the same thing,
- 4:38Speaker 9: she suffered mental illness and all the things that they
- 4:39Speaker 9: were like.
- 4:40Speaker 1: Is she in the air?
- 4:41Speaker 4: What did she do?
- 4:42Speaker 1: She should be acquitted is what they say.
- 4:44Speaker 2: If she's mentally ill, then what is it that she
- 4:47Speaker 2: can't be held responsible for? If she didn't kill the kids,
- 4:50Speaker 2: what is she being held responsible for?
- 4:53Speaker 11: I don't know.
- 4:55Speaker 9: They say that the case should be dismissed on the
- 4:59Speaker 9: grounds that the holdout juror should have been removed. And
- 5:02Speaker 9: the prosecutors haven't even decided if they're going to retry
- 5:05Speaker 9: her yet.
- 5:07Speaker 1: Everything about this case makes absolutely no sense.
- 5:10Speaker 7: None.
- 5:10Speaker 5: None.
- 5:11Speaker 1: And speaking of not making sense, have you seen the
- 5:14Speaker 1: new KFC commercial?
- 5:15Speaker 12: No.
- 5:16Speaker 7: It is.
- 5:18Speaker 1: How can I say it? It's very odd and satanic.
- 5:23Speaker 9: It's basically like, you know, I can't even describe it,
- 5:26Speaker 9: but it's like these people are all sitting around a table.
- 5:29Speaker 1: They put these red.
- 5:31Speaker 9: I guess supposed to be a napkin, but it looks
- 5:33Speaker 9: like a scarf of some sort over their head before
- 5:36Speaker 9: they are offered a chicken that's in the middle. It's
- 5:38Speaker 9: just it's bizarre and crazy. And people are saying, don't
- 5:41Speaker 9: eat the chicken.
- 5:42Speaker 1: Don't eat it.
- 5:43Speaker 9: Something's going on with KFC. Something's going on. In this country,
- 5:46Speaker 9: don't eat the chicken.
- 5:47Speaker 1: Eat the chicken foot, man.
- 5:49Speaker 6: But it's hot chicken. I guess that's the whole motif.
- 5:51Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 5:52Speaker 1: And what's crazy is it's really not about chicken.
- 5:55Speaker 9: It's supposed to be about this new Louisiana hot burger
- 5:58Speaker 9: that they've released.
- 5:59Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 5:59Speaker 9: I don't know why KFC is serving burgers, but I
- 6:02Speaker 9: guess if. A burger spot can serve chicken. A chicken
- 6:05Speaker 9: spot can serve burgers.
- 6:06Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 6:07Speaker 4: It's war.
- 6:07Speaker 13: Eat it.
- 6:08Speaker 1: Don't eat it. It's all up to you.
- 6:09Speaker 6: You got to put the red scarf on your head
- 6:11Speaker 6: before you can.
- 6:11Speaker 14: Figure it out.
- 6:11Speaker 1: Yes, you got to do it.
- 6:12Speaker 9: And they have them say, you know, repeating chants and stuff.
- 6:15Speaker 1: It's really weird. But listen, eat what you want to.
- 6:17Speaker 7: I don't.
- 6:17Speaker 1: I'm not fooling with it. But that's what's trending.
- 6:19Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 6:20Speaker 1: Well, you don't eat chicken that way.
- 6:21Speaker 6: It's devilishly good.
- 6:23Speaker 1: She's jazz.
- 6:24Speaker 4: She's jazz.
- 6:26Speaker 7: She's smiling.
- 6:27Speaker 1: It's the Jazzy Report on the D.L. Hughley Show.
- 6:32Speaker 9: The Supreme Court says Trump's administration can resume deporting migrants
- 6:35Speaker 9: to countries other than their own without offering them the
- 6:39Speaker 9: chance to show the harms they may face. The court
- 6:41Speaker 9: granted the Justice Department's emergency request to hold a Boston
- 6:45Speaker 9: based ruling that the Department of Homeland Security's policies to
- 6:49Speaker 9: remove migrants to so-called third countries is unlawful. The court
- 6:53Speaker 9: also agreed to hear arguments in December with a formal
- 6:56Speaker 9: ruling on the policy to follow.
- 6:59Speaker 1: We are cruel. We are cruel. Just picking them up
- 7:02Speaker 1: and dropping them off wherever they feel like it.
- 7:04Speaker 13: Yeah.
- 7:04Speaker 9: Doesn't even matter. Well, researchers say you really can age overnight.
- 7:08Speaker 9: Stressful life events can also speed up the aging process.
- 7:11Speaker 9: A vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to cognitive problems associated
- 7:15Speaker 9: with the aging within a few months, they say. And
- 7:18Speaker 9: there's also the toll of a broken heart, also known
- 7:21Speaker 9: as acute stress cardiomyopathy. And they say mainly this affects
- 7:25Speaker 9: women of postmenopausal age. Ooh.
- 7:28Speaker 1: Yeah. Age is going to get you. Ain't nothing you
- 7:32Speaker 1: can do about it.
- 7:33Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 7:34Speaker 1: Man. And you know, and leave Jasmine guy alone.
- 7:37Speaker 12: I know.
- 7:38Speaker 1: Let's leave her alone. It's a different world. You know
- 7:43Speaker 1: what she did? She smoked a lot. Oh, she did?
- 7:47Speaker 13: Yeah.
- 7:48Speaker 1: Oh, I didn't know that. That'll do it every time. Well,
- 7:50Speaker 1: you can tell. You did know that. There's another reason.
- 7:54Speaker 6: Um, um, She got more than 40% in her.
- 8:02Speaker 1: Yeah, perhaps. Halle Berry got it. A whole lot of
- 8:06Speaker 1: people did that. She just, hey, man.
- 8:08Speaker 4: You know what?
- 8:09Speaker 1: Let's do what we always do. Talk about it behind
- 8:10Speaker 1: their back.
- 8:11Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying?
- 8:11Speaker 6: There you go. It's much more fun.
- 8:13Speaker 2: Because I was talking to Jan. She's like, well, you know,
- 8:15Speaker 2: it's not nice. It isn't untrue, though. But it is
- 8:19Speaker 2: not nice.
- 8:20Speaker 1: But it isn't untrue. Backs can be that.
- 8:23Speaker 4: Yes.
- 8:23Speaker 5: Yes.
- 8:26Speaker 2: All right, this is a very interesting question. I saw
- 8:28Speaker 2: this yesterday on social media, this young lady. And she
- 8:30Speaker 2: told a story about how she thought her father abandoned her,
- 8:32Speaker 2: but later found out that it was not true. And
- 8:35Speaker 2: it has affected the way she has navigated her relationship
- 8:38Speaker 2: with men, like thinking that she would be abandoned. And
- 8:41Speaker 2: it's obviously very emotional for her. And now she can't
- 8:43Speaker 2: rectify that because her father's dead. What should be the
- 8:46Speaker 2: consequence when one parent intentionally keeps the child from the other?
- 8:50Speaker 2: What should be the consequence of that? Because I guarantee
- 8:53Speaker 2: you that is a fairly common refrain. I'm not saying
- 8:57Speaker 2: it's pervasive. I would say it's fairly pervasive. I'm not
- 8:59Speaker 2: saying it's the majority of things, but it's not an
- 9:02Speaker 2: uncommon refrain.
- 9:03Speaker 1: What do you think the consequences of that should be?
- 9:05Speaker 5: 877-242-2426.
- 9:05Speaker 1: Also, to stop on Twitter, D.O. Hughley Radio or on Facebook,
- 9:10Speaker 1: The D.O. Hughley Show. And the website is TheDOHughleyShow.com. Very
- 9:13Speaker 1: emotional story.
- 9:14Speaker 2: Young woman is talking about how for years she thought
- 9:17Speaker 2: her father abandoned her and then obviously come to find
- 9:21Speaker 2: out that it was not true. And it has affected
- 9:24Speaker 2: the way she has navigated her relationship with men, like
- 9:27Speaker 2: thinking that she would be abandoned. And it's obviously very
- 9:30Speaker 2: emotional for her. And now she can't rectify that because
- 9:33Speaker 2: her father's dead. I know the feeling. We're going to
- 9:36Speaker 2: go to our social media platform. What do you think
- 9:38Speaker 2: the remedy for that should be? Junius, can you say
- 9:41Speaker 2: what they're.
- 9:42Speaker 4: Saying out there?
- 9:43Speaker 6: All right.
- 9:43Speaker 15: I'm looking at Timmy from Cincinnati. And he said, you know,
- 9:48Speaker 15: secrets always have consequences.
- 9:52Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 9:53Speaker 1: But I think that that is either parent for either parent.
- 9:58Speaker 1: And I know there are.
- 10:00Speaker 2: So many people who have parents who are dealing with
- 10:03Speaker 2: maids who have disappeared and abandoned children. That is terrible
- 10:08Speaker 2: and also very pervasive. But situations, and I think that
- 10:12Speaker 2: that has its own set of emotional drawbacks too. But
- 10:16Speaker 2: I think situations like this, where So one, you know,
- 10:21Speaker 2: you grow up believing that your parent was a certain way,
- 10:25Speaker 2: be it mother or father, come to find out that.
- 10:28Speaker 1: The author of that story.
- 10:30Speaker 2: Wasn't telling it correctly and they were doing it for
- 10:32Speaker 2: their own reasons.
- 10:34Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 10:35Speaker 1: And that's what tends to happen.
- 10:36Speaker 9: I think, you know, a lot of times on either side,
- 10:39Speaker 9: there's some kind of hurt or blame game that's being played. And,
- 10:43Speaker 9: you know, unfortunately, they use a child as a pawn
- 10:47Speaker 9: in the game.
- 10:47Speaker 13: Yeah.
- 10:48Speaker 1: You know, it's very sad.
- 10:49Speaker 9: I'm not even thinking, you know, five, 10 years down
- 10:51Speaker 9: the road when the child grows up and they have
- 10:53Speaker 9: this perception of their their their father or mother, which
- 10:56Speaker 9: isn't true. You know, I just I don't know. I
- 11:00Speaker 9: know there's no legal law unless it's a court ordered situation.
- 11:04Speaker 9: There's no legal thing that you can do.
- 11:06Speaker 4: But I do think they will.
- 11:10Speaker 9: The only thing that is going to happen is when
- 11:12Speaker 9: that child gets older, they're probably going to resent you.
- 11:15Speaker 1: And that in some cases can be punishment enough.
- 11:18Speaker 2: I think that if you can make somebody pay arrears
- 11:20Speaker 2: in child support and you've emotionally damaged somebody like that,
- 11:23Speaker 2: there should be some kind of consequence.
- 11:25Speaker 4: I just do.
- 11:25Speaker 2: I think that it's just not okay because there's, what
- 11:28Speaker 2: is the deterrent for people doing it then? What is,
- 11:32Speaker 2: because things happen because there's nothing to tell them that
- 11:35Speaker 2: there's no real consequence.
- 11:38Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 11:39Speaker 13: Yeah.
- 11:40Speaker 1: There isn't anything.
- 11:41Speaker 13: Yeah.
- 11:41Speaker 1: I do think that there should be something. So it
- 11:44Speaker 1: is the D.L. Hughley Show, your 2026 edition. Take a
- 11:47Speaker 1: listen to this audio.
- 11:48Speaker 11: My parents were married and then they had me. I
- 11:52Speaker 11: guess their marriage was difficult.
- 11:54Speaker 1: So they later got divorced. I don't know why. I
- 11:57Speaker 1: don't know the details. All I know is that they separated.
- 12:01Speaker 1: So I used to be.
- 12:02Speaker 11: With my mother one week and then I'll go be
- 12:04Speaker 11: with my father the next week.
- 12:06Speaker 1: Okay, so back and forth.
- 12:09Speaker 13: One week, my dad never showed up to come and
- 12:12Speaker 13: pick me up. I sat by the door, literally waiting
- 12:15Speaker 13: and waiting.
- 12:16Speaker 11: He never showed up. The following week, I did the
- 12:18Speaker 11: same thing. I did this for months, okay? He never came,
- 12:22Speaker 11: so I felt so.
- 12:24Speaker 1: Rejected, okay?
- 12:26Speaker 10: I still quite literally turn into that little girl when
- 12:29Speaker 10: I talk about it.
- 12:30Speaker 5: It has.
- 12:32Speaker 6: changed the.
- 12:33Speaker 10: Trajectory of my life, okay?
- 12:35Speaker 1: So I didn't find out.
- 12:38Speaker 10: Until literally recently as an adult that my father did
- 12:42Speaker 10: not abandon me. My mother cut him off because she
- 12:46Speaker 10: was afraid that he was going to take me from her.
- 12:50Speaker 2: Now, we have discussions like this all the time, Sanders, obviously.
- 12:53Speaker 2: We come at this from two different perspectives, but based
- 12:57Speaker 2: on our own individual experiences.
- 12:59Speaker 1: So you think what about this?
- 13:02Speaker 9: Like I said, I know from a legal perspective, there's
- 13:05Speaker 9: really not a lot that can be done unless it's a.
- 13:09Speaker 1: Court ordered situation.
- 13:10Speaker 9: If it's court ordered custody or a visitation plan is
- 13:14Speaker 9: in place and you violate that, there are consequences. Outside
- 13:18Speaker 9: of that, legally, nothing you can do. I do think
- 13:21Speaker 9: it's unfortunate because I know for sure there are cases
- 13:25Speaker 9: where you're upset Or the father is upset and you
- 13:29Speaker 9: use the child as a pawn. I don't know what
- 13:33Speaker 9: you could do to deter that. I mean, mature relationships.
- 13:37Speaker 9: I mean, I have no idea. But again, I do
- 13:39Speaker 9: think when the child gets older and they realize that
- 13:43Speaker 9: you have lied to them, I think there will be
- 13:46Speaker 9: a lot of damage done to that relationship. And I
- 13:48Speaker 9: think that that might end up being, you know, punishment enough.
- 13:51Speaker 9: I just I don't know.
- 13:52Speaker 1: It's a difficult thing.
- 13:54Speaker 2: You know, I have a very, I don't see, I
- 13:58Speaker 2: can call it nuance and you guys might think it's simplistic,
- 14:01Speaker 2: but I don't, I think laws exist because people saw
- 14:05Speaker 2: there was a need for something to change in a dynamic, right?
- 14:10Speaker 6: Right.
- 14:11Speaker 2: That's why laws exist. It wasn't always against the law
- 14:14Speaker 2: not to pay child support. It wasn't always against the law.
- 14:17Speaker 2: Some of the laws we have in place, all of
- 14:18Speaker 2: them came as a remedy, right?
- 14:20Speaker 6: Correct.
- 14:21Speaker 4: Right.
- 14:22Speaker 2: And I think that there is an inherent way that
- 14:28Speaker 2: society looks at somebody who's not financially responsible for a child.
- 14:33Speaker 2: There's an inherent way they look at that. And what
- 14:35Speaker 2: they did was they had a legal remedy for that, right?
- 14:39Speaker 2: I don't think that there's a requisite view of that
- 14:44Speaker 2: in terms of the emotional damage that parents do to
- 14:47Speaker 2: their children. We have laws against abuse. So I think
- 14:51Speaker 2: that because We know that things like this happen. We
- 14:56Speaker 2: write laws to remedy societal ills to some degree.
- 15:00Speaker 5: Right.
- 15:01Speaker 1: And so. But I think I think on the back end.
- 15:06Speaker 4: Of that.
- 15:07Speaker 1: You know, Professor, you're not going to carry on.
- 15:10Speaker 2: What do you think the remedy for that should be?
- 15:12Speaker 1: What do you think it should be?
- 15:14Speaker 15: Well, these are always touchy subjects. I mean, because there
- 15:18Speaker 15: are variables involved that, you know, we're not exactly sure of,
- 15:20Speaker 15: you know, because depending on how the severity of the
- 15:22Speaker 15: breakup was or the trauma involved, you know, like, say,
- 15:26Speaker 15: for instance, if it was a rape or something, you know,
- 15:28Speaker 15: you just don't know. You would not share that with
- 15:31Speaker 15: a child or make up an inappropriate story.
- 15:34Speaker 6: But if it's just pure malice, then there should be
- 15:37Speaker 6: some kind of.
- 15:39Speaker 1: It can't just be nothing.
- 15:41Speaker 2: I think that if it were, whenever something like this
- 15:44Speaker 2: is perpetrated, and this is regardless of what we do,
- 15:48Speaker 2: if it's a man perpetrating a thing, society tends to
- 15:51Speaker 2: think that that needs a legal remedy.
- 15:53Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 15:54Speaker 2: When if a woman is primarily perpetrating a thing, it
- 15:57Speaker 2: has a different nuanced view. The law feels like, well,
- 16:00Speaker 2: that's just something that I have to set. But I
- 16:02Speaker 2: know for me, for years and years and years, my
- 16:05Speaker 2: mother told me what a horrible man my father was.
- 16:08Speaker 2: And when I met him, I had only her version
- 16:11Speaker 2: of it. And when he died, she, when my mother
- 16:14Speaker 2: called me and I, do you remember this Sanders? Like my,
- 16:17Speaker 2: like boohooing. And when she, I was, I was in
- 16:21Speaker 2: New York. I'll never forget. She's like, your father died.
- 16:22Speaker 2: And I was like, Oh, I was crying. I mean,
- 16:24Speaker 2: she was beside herself and I was like my daddy.
- 16:27Speaker 2: And she said, I gotta get home. She's like, Oh no, no,
- 16:32Speaker 2: you're a biological father.
- 16:33Speaker 4: And I'm like, what? Why are you crying for him?
- 16:38Speaker 4: You call me with this crime for this? Yeah.
- 16:41Speaker 2: And then she told me she had always had a
- 16:43Speaker 2: relationship with him and he wasn't as bad as she
- 16:44Speaker 2: thought she'd put on.
- 16:46Speaker 13: Wow.
- 16:47Speaker 2: Now that to me, I'm angry with her now because
- 16:50Speaker 2: not only she treated my father crazy, the one who
- 16:53Speaker 2: raised me, but she denied me an opportunity to know
- 16:56Speaker 2: that man who had been looking for me.
- 16:58Speaker 1: The whole time.
- 17:00Speaker 6: And shaped your opinion of him.
- 17:01Speaker 4: And shaped my opinion of the world. Yeah.
- 17:04Speaker 6: Oh, man.
- 17:05Speaker 1: Like, I always wanted to be a Hugo.
- 17:07Speaker 4: I never was a Hugo.
- 17:07Speaker 1: I found out that the name I had, the people
- 17:11Speaker 1: that I come from, literally only area I live in now.
- 17:14Speaker 2: They came from the South. They built, there's a place
- 17:18Speaker 2: in LA called Ballard Mountain.
- 17:20Speaker 1: They called it North Head Mountain. They changed it to
- 17:21Speaker 1: Ballard Mountain.
- 17:22Speaker 2: Those were my forefathers. That is five minutes from where
- 17:24Speaker 2: I live. So you took my birthright away from me.
- 17:28Speaker 2: That's not to me.
- 17:29Speaker 1: This is the unfortunate part. It's hurtful.
- 17:33Speaker 4: It's horrible.
- 17:34Speaker 9: It's a horrible thing to do, not only to a child,
- 17:37Speaker 9: but to a young man and certainly an older man, period,
- 17:39Speaker 9: whenever you find.
- 17:40Speaker 1: Out the lie. Unfortunately, lying is not a crime. We
- 17:43Speaker 1: know that just by the world that we live in. No,
- 17:46Speaker 1: it's not.
- 17:47Speaker 9: Inherently, it is not a crime. The only way it
- 17:49Speaker 9: is a crime is that if you commit perjury, if
- 17:51Speaker 9: you lie to federal officials, if you file a false
- 17:54Speaker 9: police report or fraud to obtain money, property benefits, or
- 17:58Speaker 9: anything like that, or any kind of ID lying. But
- 18:00Speaker 9: in terms of lying about whether or not This person
- 18:04Speaker 9: is this or that in terms of their character.
- 18:06Speaker 1: That is not a lie. It's a horrible thing. Now,
- 18:09Speaker 1: it should be. That's what I'm saying.
- 18:11Speaker 4: It should be.
- 18:12Speaker 2: And a lot of things weren't laws until somebody made
- 18:15Speaker 2: them that way. The laws like that have champions.
- 18:18Speaker 1: Right. There are people who champion a law. They go
- 18:22Speaker 1: to Congress. They tell stories. They supplicate billmakers. So just
- 18:26Speaker 1: because it isn't a law doesn't mean it shouldn't be.
- 18:29Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 18:29Speaker 1: Oh, absolutely.
- 18:30Speaker 9: But I think you hit the nail on the head.
- 18:33Speaker 9: And that is, someone has to lobby for that, right?
- 18:36Speaker 9: No one has done it. Because there's no extensive study
- 18:39Speaker 9: that has been done to.
- 18:40Speaker 4: Show that it's proven.
- 18:42Speaker 1: I'm not going to be the one to start it off.
- 18:44Speaker 4: Oh, see.
- 18:45Speaker 1: Oh, okay, okay, okay. You want somebody else to do
- 18:47Speaker 1: the heavy lifting. No, no, I'm just saying. I'm just saying.
- 18:50Speaker 2: I think that it is unreasonable to say that this
- 18:54Speaker 2: doesn't have something that I think there should be a
- 18:57Speaker 2: legal remedy for.
- 18:59Speaker 4: For sure.
- 19:01Speaker 1: There could be a civil situation, but you can't. No,
- 19:04Speaker 1: I totally agree.
- 19:05Speaker 2: You can be wrecking people's lives and there's no recompense.
- 19:09Speaker 2: I think that that's untenable. What do you think the
- 19:12Speaker 2: remedy for that should be? We're going right to the phones.
- 19:14Speaker 3: The consequences to somebody demonstrating that type of behavior of
- 19:19Speaker 3: denying a child a healthy life experience with their parents
- 19:24Speaker 3: particularly a black girl with their father, should be severe. However,
- 19:28Speaker 3: no matter what the punishment is, there's not going to
- 19:31Speaker 3: be a replacement for those opportunity and time, pictures, videos, conversations, cards,
- 19:38Speaker 3: and other life experiences connected to the healthy development of
- 19:42Speaker 3: that child with their parent, particularly a father. Those aren't
- 19:45Speaker 3: going to be replaced. So no matter what the consequences are,
- 19:49Speaker 3: opportunity and time is gone. And it's your fault if
- 19:53Speaker 3: you were the one involved with helping to contribute to
- 19:56Speaker 3: that type of behavior, whether you be just a parent
- 19:59Speaker 3: or a parent's henchman, you know.
- 20:03Speaker 16: I feel very sad for the young lady that this
- 20:06Speaker 16: happened to. I can't imagine not knowing my father. I
- 20:11Speaker 16: couldn't imagine it. I knew both my parents. They raised
- 20:14Speaker 16: me and all my siblings, and I just couldn't imagine
- 20:17Speaker 16: being in that situation.
- 20:19Speaker 4: I do have one.
- 20:20Speaker 1: I did want to say that I.
- 20:22Speaker 16: Learned a very long time ago not to get involved
- 20:25Speaker 16: in that revenge game because I feel like that's what
- 20:27Speaker 16: happened with her parents. They are playing some kind of
- 20:30Speaker 16: revenge game or, you know, or whether they meant to do.
- 20:33Speaker 4: It or not.
- 20:34Speaker 16: It affected her in a very negative way. And I
- 20:39Speaker 16: feel like what should happen is what is already happening now.
- 20:43Speaker 16: which is that now the other living parent is going
- 20:46Speaker 16: to have to deal with how this child feels about
- 20:49Speaker 16: what they did, about what both of them did. Now
- 20:51Speaker 16: both of them can't confront it. Now it's just one
- 20:53Speaker 16: parent that has to confront what has happened. I hope
- 20:56Speaker 16: that this young lady does confront the other parent. I
- 21:00Speaker 16: hope that she finds, you know, peace and all that.
- 21:02Speaker 16: But I learned a long time ago, you don't play
- 21:04Speaker 16: this revenge game. I'm a Christian, so I believe vengeance
- 21:07Speaker 16: is the Lord's.
- 21:09Speaker 14: So I just got in my car and I heard
- 21:12Speaker 14: the conversation. And I can resonate with that because I
- 21:15Speaker 14: have two daughters who are, one is in her latter
- 21:18Speaker 14: 30s and the other one is in their younger 30s.
- 21:20Speaker 14: And both of their mothers withheld them from me for
- 21:24Speaker 14: 30 plus years. And they both came to me. One
- 21:27Speaker 14: came to me about five years ago and said, my
- 21:30Speaker 14: mom finally admitted that she lied about you and she
- 21:33Speaker 14: kept me away from you. And the other one did
- 21:36Speaker 14: the same thing. Said my mom admitted she lied about
- 21:38Speaker 14: you and kept me away from you. So I'm going
- 21:41Speaker 14: through the same thing that, you know, most men are
- 21:43Speaker 14: going through in that situation. And I understand I heard
- 21:46Speaker 14: the girls, the young lady's pain who was speaking out
- 21:49Speaker 14: on it.
- 21:49Speaker 1: So I understand.
- 21:51Speaker 14: And, yeah, so it's wrong. And right now I'm trying
- 21:54Speaker 14: to bridge the gap with my daughters and develop a
- 21:57Speaker 14: relationship after 30 years.
- 22:00Speaker 5: My husband is actually going through something similar to that.
- 22:04Speaker 5: When we got together, he had explained everything to me
- 22:08Speaker 5: and how his child's mother has him on child support
- 22:11Speaker 5: and how the arrears and everything and how he was
- 22:15Speaker 5: in his child's life for the first little bit of
- 22:19Speaker 5: her life. And then the mother just up and left
- 22:23Speaker 5: and pretty much told the courts that she was scared
- 22:26Speaker 5: for her life. and made everything private. And he didn't
- 22:32Speaker 5: know he's right up until, I mean, honestly.
- 22:35Speaker 1: When we got together.
- 22:36Speaker 5: And we started doing research, and we.
- 22:39Speaker 1: Found out what, you know, what he actually and his
- 22:41Speaker 1: rights were.
- 22:43Speaker 5: And, you know, they've got him on false allegations. He's
- 22:49Speaker 5: going to take her to court for.
- 22:51Speaker 1: False allegations, for child alienation.
- 22:53Speaker 5: His child is 16 years old, and he hasn't got to.
- 22:57Speaker 1: See her yet.
- 22:59Speaker 5: Since she was five, we did our research and we
- 23:02Speaker 5: found out what we.
- 23:03Speaker 1: Can do and what we can't do.
- 23:04Speaker 5: Court, and it's just a whole lot of mess that's
- 23:07Speaker 5: going on. When y'all were talking about it already, I
- 23:09Speaker 5: was like, dang, like, that's exactly what my husband's going
- 23:12Speaker 5: through right now.
- 23:13Speaker 4: So here is the scenario.
- 23:15Speaker 11: My parents were married, and then they had me. I
- 23:19Speaker 11: guess their marriage was difficult, so they later got divorced.
- 23:23Speaker 1: I don't know why. I don't know the details. All
- 23:26Speaker 1: I know is that they separated. So I used to be.
- 23:29Speaker 11: With my mother one week and then I'll go be
- 23:31Speaker 11: with my father the next week.
- 23:33Speaker 1: OK, so back and forth.
- 23:36Speaker 13: One week, my dad never showed up to come and
- 23:39Speaker 13: pick me up. I sat by the door, literally waiting
- 23:42Speaker 13: and waiting.
- 23:43Speaker 4: He never showed up.
- 23:44Speaker 11: The following week, I did the same thing. I did
- 23:46Speaker 11: this for months. OK, he never came back.
- 23:50Speaker 1: So I felt so rejected, okay?
- 23:53Speaker 10: I still quite literally turn into that little girl when
- 23:57Speaker 10: I talk about it.
- 23:57Speaker 6: It has changed the.
- 24:00Speaker 4: Trajectory of my life, okay?
- 24:03Speaker 1: So I didn't.
- 24:04Speaker 10: Find out until literally recently as an adult that my
- 24:08Speaker 10: father did not abandon me. My mother cut him off
- 24:12Speaker 10: because she was afraid that he was.
- 24:14Speaker 4: Going to take me from her, okay?
- 24:17Speaker 10: So I literally had to grow up without a father thinking.
- 24:21Speaker 4: That my father didn't love me.
- 24:23Speaker 10: So I would go on dating these men who were
- 24:26Speaker 10: amazing to me. I've had wonderful relationships and I would
- 24:30Speaker 10: literally feel like the love was never enough because my
- 24:35Speaker 10: father didn't love me.
- 24:36Speaker 1: How could another man love me? What do you think
- 24:39Speaker 1: the remedy for that should be? We're going right to
- 24:40Speaker 1: the phones.
- 24:41Speaker 12: My son is going through the same situation. He pays
- 24:45Speaker 12: child support every week. He's caught up on his rears,
- 24:49Speaker 12: but he can't seem to talk to the kids. And
- 24:52Speaker 12: it's been some months now. I think the last time
- 24:54Speaker 12: the kids been over to my house there, Nana, was
- 24:58Speaker 12: last year in the summertime. And that was the last
- 25:01Speaker 12: time we saw them. The last time, and the mom,
- 25:05Speaker 12: she has this, I don't know, some sort of vendetta,
- 25:08Speaker 12: all because she wants my son to be with her
- 25:11Speaker 12: and the kids. But I have a funny feeling that
- 25:13Speaker 12: she's feeding the kids a lot of negativity about their dad,
- 25:16Speaker 12: and when the only thing my son, he won't reach
- 25:19Speaker 12: out or anything. I mean, he has been reaching out,
- 25:22Speaker 12: but it's like, well, I guess I have to wait
- 25:24Speaker 12: until the kids get older in order for them to
- 25:26Speaker 12: accept me. I said, but what if they don't accept
- 25:29Speaker 12: you because of what she's feeding them?
- 25:31Speaker 17: Well, basically, I'm one who's going through it myself, dealing
- 25:35Speaker 17: with a woman that is, you know, basically keeping me
- 25:39Speaker 17: from my child. I've been going through this for about
- 25:42Speaker 17: three years, four years now, and still there's no consequence
- 25:47Speaker 17: in the courtroom. He's violated plenty of times, and I've
- 25:52Speaker 17: never gotten any remedy over it. And I tell her
- 25:54Speaker 17: all the time that you're going to make his child
- 25:57Speaker 17: resent you when he gets older because.
- 25:59Speaker 8: He's going to find out that I've never abandoned him.
- 26:02Speaker 8: I stay fighting. I stay fighting all the time, and
- 26:06Speaker 8: I'm not going to stop. But there needs to be
- 26:08Speaker 8: some kind of consequence to this.
- 26:11Speaker 12: I think the child should be able to see their parent.
- 26:14Speaker 1: Yeah, even if the.
- 26:16Speaker 4: Man is a deadbeat man, a deadbeat.
- 26:18Speaker 12: Father, it should be up to the child to still see.
- 26:22Speaker 16: Their parent and let them figure out what they want
- 26:26Speaker 16: to do with that parent.
- 26:28Speaker 12: I even let my child make the choice when they
- 26:30Speaker 12: were younger.
- 26:31Speaker 1: I said, you know what?
- 26:33Speaker 12: He's going to find out.
- 26:34Speaker 1: I'm not going to tell him anything.
- 26:36Speaker 12: I'll take care of him. And he sees who takes
- 26:39Speaker 12: care of him.
- 26:40Speaker 1: Now it's time for our feature. Welcome to the stage

- 26:53Speaker 1: I found out that I don't like tall people.
- 26:56Speaker 4: That's just what it is. I see you, my man.

- 27:16Speaker 2: put your car in park to put a gate code in.
- 27:18Speaker 1: You have no idea what that's like, 6'8.
- 27:22Speaker 4: Every time I was calling my attendant trying to get
- 27:24Speaker 4: my food through the drive-thru with my foot on the brake,
- 27:27Speaker 4: I'm like, come on, preach with me. This is insane

- 27:32Speaker 4: had to reach with me, you're like, Taco Bell's going

- 28:54Speaker 2: You were replaced by Sinbad on Vibe, right? Have you
- 28:57Speaker 2: ever been replaced by Sinbad in any love relationships?
- 29:01Speaker 4: Damn, I don't think so.
- 29:04Speaker 1: There was a time in Iowa. Trying to think about it.
- 29:06Speaker 4: Right, in the minds.
- 29:09Speaker 7: This is uncomfortable.
- 29:11Speaker 1: He's like, hmm.
- 29:12Speaker 14: That's a racially ambiguous child out there confused about which
- 29:15Speaker 14: comedian he is.
- 29:17Speaker 4: He's really thinking here? No, no, no.
- 29:20Speaker 1: No, no, it couldn't have possibly happened.
- 29:23Speaker 9: So would you ever be interested in creating the show
- 29:26Speaker 9: Real Husbands of Calabasas?
- 29:28Speaker 4: Of Calabasas. No.
- 29:30Speaker 5: No.
- 29:31Speaker 4: I don't see the humor.
- 29:32Speaker 1: But you created... a lot of shows.
- 29:37Speaker 4: I created a couple of shows. Real Husbands of Hollywood,
- 29:40Speaker 4: White Famous, which was Buddy Lewis and I created. And
- 29:44Speaker 4: then they fired us. And then hired a 60-year-old white
- 29:47Speaker 4: man to tell us how a black comedian should talk
- 29:49Speaker 4: and act.
- 29:50Speaker 7: Wow.
- 29:50Speaker 1: They fired you, but you still got a check, though.
- 29:52Speaker 4: I got a check, but it wasn't a deal check.
- 29:54Speaker 7: Right, right.
- 29:55Speaker 1: It was smaller.
- 29:56Speaker 4: You just killed yourself over that check. Yeah, it was time.
- 29:59Speaker 1: White Famous was hilarious, though.
- 30:00Speaker 4: I didn't think so.
- 30:01Speaker 1: Me neither.
- 30:04Speaker 4: No, they missed the boat on what we were trying
- 30:06Speaker 4: to do. Because there's a difference between being white famous
- 30:08Speaker 4: and black famous. Black famous is like, you know. The
- 30:12Speaker 4: comedians who sell out all over. He still had money.
- 30:14Speaker 4: He could sell out all over the country. You know
- 30:16Speaker 4: him in Detroit. You know him in Chicago. But you
- 30:18Speaker 4: don't know him on Ventura.
- 30:19Speaker 5: Right.
- 30:19Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
- 30:20Speaker 5: Right.
- 30:20Speaker 4: He would be at the red carpet of a big movie.
- 30:22Speaker 4: And they'd be like, is that the guy? That's the
- 30:23Speaker 4: guy at the end.
- 30:24Speaker 1: Like Tyler Perry.
- 30:25Speaker 4: Oh, but you can't remember his name. And all of
- 30:26Speaker 4: a sudden, Zach Galifianakis comes in and they move you
- 30:28Speaker 4: out the way.
- 30:29Speaker 5: Right.
- 30:29Speaker 3: Got it.
- 30:29Speaker 5: Right.
- 30:30Speaker 4: You can get in line free. You go straight to
- 30:32Speaker 4: the front at Roscoe's. And they launch you.
- 30:36Speaker 1: So you are a Jamaican-American.
- 30:38Speaker 11: Yep.
- 30:38Speaker 4: What percentage of your blood is wrong? Everybody's. I'm part Appleton, part.
- 30:45Speaker 4: Everybody in the family is Jamaican. It was a time
- 30:47Speaker 4: when I was a kid, though. They better be a
- 30:49Speaker 4: good Jamaican. No, there was a time when I wouldn't
- 30:51Speaker 4: claim it. Why?
- 30:52Speaker 7: Really.
- 30:52Speaker 4: Because it wasn't cool. It wasn't cool until Shabba. You
- 30:56Speaker 4: know what I mean? Like, when you were a kid
- 30:58Speaker 4: and you're the only Jamaican in Inglewood and everybody's like, yo,
- 31:01Speaker 4: they Jamaican, they Jamaican. I remember one time we was
- 31:03Speaker 4: at a shoe store and there was a roster there.
- 31:04Speaker 4: They was like, hey, man, this dude Jamaican. He don't
- 31:06Speaker 4: want to act like he Jamaican. I'm like, I ain't
- 31:07Speaker 4: no Jamaican. And the roster dude was like, where your
- 31:09Speaker 4: mother born? I was like, Jamaica? He said, where your
- 31:12Speaker 4: father born? I was like, Jamaica. He said, well, if
- 31:14Speaker 4: two goats have a kid in a pigsty, where I'm from?
- 31:16Speaker 4: I was like. Jamaica? I don't understand this joke, sir.
- 31:21Speaker 4: And that's when I finally realized it don't matter where
- 31:23Speaker 4: your parents had you. If that's their blood, that's what's
- 31:27Speaker 4: running through your veins.
- 31:29Speaker 1: It got to be rough to go from Jamaica to Englewood.
- 31:30Speaker 1: That was nice.
- 31:32Speaker 4: That's how I got funny. Because I had to, everybody
- 31:35Speaker 4: was joning on me, bagging on me, capping on me,
- 31:36Speaker 4: whatever word you use. And I had to be able
- 31:38Speaker 4: to fight multiple people.
- 31:40Speaker 1: So what is your parents, so you ate managed water, ackee,
- 31:46Speaker 1: salt fish, all that type of stuff?
- 31:46Speaker 5: Everything.
- 31:47Speaker 6: Everything.
- 31:48Speaker 1: And they came right from Jamaica to here.
- 31:52Speaker 17: Yep.
- 31:52Speaker 4: My father had a soccer scholarship to Compton College.
- 31:56Speaker 1: They didn't get soccer scholarships.
- 31:57Speaker 4: Swear to God. Swear to God. But listen, if you're
- 32:00Speaker 4: a junior college in the 60s and you're trying to
- 32:03Speaker 4: compete with these other people who are getting to be Australians,
- 32:05Speaker 4: let's go get some Jamaicans.
- 32:07Speaker 6: We need some territory.
- 32:08Speaker 4: He's got a point. Let's go get some.
- 32:10Speaker 15: So it was like 14 of them.
- 32:11Speaker 4: He's got a point. They call themselves the Magnificent Seven.
- 32:13Speaker 4: It was like seven Jamaicans they brought over here. I
- 32:15Speaker 4: think they won state.
- 32:16Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 32:17Speaker 1: They won.
- 32:17Speaker 4: Yeah, they was great.
- 32:18Speaker 12: They better have.
- 32:18Speaker 1: They brought them all the way over here. And then
- 32:21Speaker 1: how fast did you go from Compton to Englewood?
- 32:24Speaker 4: Compton to Englewood. Remember, that was an upgrade.
- 32:25Speaker 1: That was.
- 32:26Speaker 4: Yeah, that was like. You could only live in, you
- 32:28Speaker 4: could live in Compton.
- 32:29Speaker 5: Yep.
- 32:29Speaker 4: You could live in Englewood.
- 32:30Speaker 1: You could live in Carson or you could live in
- 32:31Speaker 1: the middle of LA.
- 32:32Speaker 4: That's all you could live where you were.
- 32:33Speaker 9: Wow.
- 32:34Speaker 4: So it was the Jefferson's music played as we drove
- 32:36Speaker 4: from Compton to Englewood.
- 32:38Speaker 1: He's like, bye.
- 32:42Speaker 4: Did your daddy walk into the building.
- 32:44Speaker 7: Pointing at his butt?
- 32:45Speaker 14: Absolutely.
- 32:46Speaker 1: He's an Arborvitae.
- 32:48Speaker 9: What's the most amount of Wayans you've hired?
- 32:51Speaker 4: No, they've hired me. I used to do all the
- 32:55Speaker 4: Wayans movies early on. I did Blank Man. I did
- 32:57Speaker 4: Don't Be a Menace in South Central.
- 32:58Speaker 6: Oh, I love that movie.
- 32:59Speaker 4: I did Lowdown Dirty Shame. And then they made Atheon
- 33:04Speaker 4: and he took my spot.
- 33:07Speaker 1: He's lighter.
- 33:08Speaker 4: Lighter. And he's German. Well, you know what happened is
- 33:12Speaker 4: we had a little... Remember when my show launched, Kenan's
- 33:14Speaker 4: show launched at the same time.
- 33:17Speaker 5: And so.
- 33:17Speaker 1: You're talking about Vibe.
- 33:18Speaker 4: Vibe, yeah. So then there was a lot of tension,
- 33:20Speaker 4: but it was kind of weird. Like me and Sean
- 33:22Speaker 4: were close, and then me and Sean weren't close no more.
- 33:24Speaker 5: Why?
- 33:25Speaker 4: Well, what really happened was after I got fired, they
- 33:28Speaker 4: wanted me to come on the Kenan Ivey Wayans show.
- 33:30Speaker 4: And I was like, I'm not coming on that show.
- 33:32Speaker 4: I've been competing against this dude. I'm going to go
- 33:33Speaker 4: over there and wave a white flag. So I'm like, no,
- 33:35Speaker 4: I'm not coming. But then Chris Rock called me and said, yo,
- 33:38Speaker 4: you need to come do my show. And I was like, no,
- 33:39Speaker 4: I can't do it. I told Kenan I'm not doing
- 33:41Speaker 4: this show. He's like, dude, how long was your show on?
- 33:44Speaker 4: I said, 11 weeks. He said, you've been unfunny for
- 33:46Speaker 4: 11 weeks.
- 33:46Speaker 1: Oh, wow.
- 33:47Speaker 4: Come on my show and let America know you're funny.
- 33:50Speaker 5: I was like, God.
- 33:52Speaker 1: Takes a good friend to give you the truth. Remember,
- 33:54Speaker 1: you can hear more of our discussion every day on
- 33:55Speaker 1: our radio show.
- 33:56Speaker 9: Check out our website, thedlhuglieshow.com, for local listings.
- 33:59Speaker 1: We'll be back coming up on the DL Hughley Show.
- 34:01Speaker 1: It is now time to give a deserving someone the
- 34:03Speaker 1: Shoe Booty of.
- 34:03Speaker 4: The Week Award.
- 34:04Speaker 7: And now, it's time for the Shoe Booty.
- 34:09Speaker 4: Of the Week Award.
- 34:13Speaker 7: Mitch McConnell. is an American politician and attorney who has
- 34:18Speaker 7: been a United States Senator from Kentucky since 1985. And
- 34:25Speaker 7: has been Kentucky's Senior U.S. Senator since 1999. As majority
- 34:32Speaker 7: leader of the Republican Party, McConnell is in his 70th
- 34:37Speaker 7: Senate term, making him the longest-serving senator in Kentucky history.
- 34:42Speaker 16: Wow.
- 34:43Speaker 7: So, why is Mitch the Turtle McConnell this week's recipient
- 34:48Speaker 7: of the Shoe Booty of the Week Award?
- 34:50Speaker 6: Damn.
- 34:52Speaker 7: He gets the shoe booty for people wheeling him in
- 34:56Speaker 7: Congress like Weekend at Bernie's. After a fall at home, pneumonia, rehab,
- 35:05Speaker 7: and roughly 100 days of what his office called recovery,
- 35:09Speaker 7: MIA Mitch rolled onto the Senate floor like a guy
- 35:13Speaker 7: who got lost on the way to the gift shop
- 35:17Speaker 7: and just decided to stay. He arrived in a wheelchair,
- 35:22Speaker 7: bruised hands, voice doing that thing where it starts a
- 35:26Speaker 7: sentence and then checks out halfway through.
- 35:29Speaker 11: Do you understand the words that are coming out of
- 35:32Speaker 11: my mouth?
- 35:33Speaker 7: And the first words out of his mouth to reporters
- 35:36Speaker 7: were basically a weak tongue. Hello, and a crooked thumbs up.
- 35:42Speaker 7: It didn't look like a comeback. It looked like a
- 35:45Speaker 7: hostage finally coming home, and he didn't know he was home.
- 35:50Speaker 4: Hello?
- 35:51Speaker 7: Hello?
- 35:52Speaker 4: Anybody home?
- 35:53Speaker 7: He looked like a zombie and had a weird facial
- 35:56Speaker 7: expression like he was AARPing in his pants.
- 36:00Speaker 4: I don't feel so good.
- 36:01Speaker 7: He looks like he lost an argument with a turtleneck.
- 36:04Speaker 7: His skin looks like leftover mashed potatoes. He looks like
- 36:09Speaker 7: he should be on a cover of a funeral home brochure.
- 36:12Speaker 6: I see dead people.
- 36:15Speaker 7: And look, I don't want to pile on a guy
- 36:17Speaker 7: who just spent the summer in the hospital and a
- 36:20Speaker 7: rehab center. Polio after effects are real. But this is
- 36:25Speaker 7: also the same man who spent years treating the Senate
- 36:29Speaker 7: like a luxury timeshare. He only showed up when it
- 36:33Speaker 7: was convenient. So when he vanishes for 100 days, releases
- 36:38Speaker 7: a couple of photos that look like they were taken
- 36:41Speaker 7: by a witness protection program, and then rolls back in
- 36:45Speaker 7: like nothing happened.
- 36:46Speaker 1: I'm sorry, what was the question?
- 36:48Speaker 7: People are going to make turtle jokes. That's the deal.
- 36:53Speaker 7: You can't look like a Galapagos tortoise for 40 years
- 36:57Speaker 7: and then act shocked when America takes shots. They call
- 37:01Speaker 7: this a comeback, but it's more like a farewell tour.
- 37:06Speaker 7: And that's why the shoe booty of the week award
- 37:11Speaker 7: goes to Mitch McConnell. Now here's a swift kick in
- 37:17Speaker 7: the ass.
- 37:19Speaker 1: Now it's time for what you need to know with
- 37:20Speaker 1: the one and only Sybil Wilkes.
- 37:22Speaker 18: It's Sybil Wilkes with what we need to know. The
- 37:24Speaker 18: United States military completed its final troop withdrawal from Iraq,
- 37:29Speaker 18: formally concluding a 12-year combat and anti-terrorism deployment under Operation
- 37:33Speaker 18: Inherent Resolve as Iraqi officials declared a national holiday to
- 37:37Speaker 18: mark the full departure of foreign forces. In Mississippi, civil
- 37:40Speaker 18: rights demonstrators gathered outside the Jackson County Courthouse demanding justice
- 37:45Speaker 18: for 18-year-old Nolan Wells following a local grand jury decision
- 37:48Speaker 18: declining to issue criminal indictments in the college athlete's.
- 37:52Speaker 1: Death this summer.
- 37:53Speaker 18: In California, a federal judge officially terminated 23 years of
- 37:57Speaker 18: federal oversight governing the Oakland Police Department, ending judicial monitoring
- 38:01Speaker 18: established under the 2003 Oakland Riders corruption settlement. And in Utah,
- 38:07Speaker 18: 71-year-old Douglas Carter was released on bail after 41 years
- 38:12Speaker 18: on death row after newly analyzed DNA evidence from a
- 38:16Speaker 18: 1985 murder scene completely excluded him.
- 38:19Speaker 4: I'm Sybil Wilkes. Be informed.
- 38:21Speaker 1: Be empowered. Thank you so much, Sybil.
- 38:23Speaker 4: Oh, yeah. More of the D.L.
- 38:25Speaker 1: Hughley Show is coming up on the D.L.
- 38:27Speaker 6: Hughley Show.
- 38:28Speaker 1: It is the DLU. We show you a 2026 edition. Hey, listen,
- 38:33Speaker 1: if you're going to be in Columbus, Ohio, this Friday
- 38:35Speaker 1: and Saturday, I will Friday. I'll be at the, the
- 38:39Speaker 1: first shot auditorium in Columbus, Ohio. Then the following day
- 38:42Speaker 1: at the TAF theater in Cincinnati, Ohio. I'm going to
- 38:46Speaker 1: give you a heads up right now. Okay.
- 38:47Speaker 5: What?
- 38:48Speaker 1: My cousin is coming to see you in Columbus. Be
- 38:51Speaker 1: nice to her. And if she gives you a gift,
- 38:53Speaker 1: No matter how strange it looks.
- 38:54Speaker 6: Nope.
- 38:55Speaker 1: Please make sure I get it.
- 38:56Speaker 5: No.
- 38:56Speaker 4: I made sure. No.
- 38:58Speaker 1: She didn't give me the last one. She gave it
- 39:00Speaker 1: to her. She said, I made you a nice necklace.
- 39:02Speaker 1: You never got it. I was like, yeah. I'm sure
- 39:05Speaker 1: we took it. I'm sure you did. I'm sure we
- 39:07Speaker 1: took it. And probably put it in the trash can.
- 39:08Speaker 1: So terrible. But thank you.
- 39:10Speaker 2: Well, I had nothing to do with it. I don't
- 39:12Speaker 2: know what happened to it. I got to be honest
- 39:13Speaker 2: with you. I don't know what happened at all.
- 39:14Speaker 1: Look at you looking all snazzy.
- 39:16Speaker 4: Yeah, you know.
- 39:16Speaker 1: Where you been? I had to do the Jennifer Hudson.
- 39:19Speaker 1: And she's really beautiful. Yeah, I like her. I don't
- 39:21Speaker 1: know when it'll air. But it was to promote Charlie.
- 39:24Speaker 6: Did you dance down the hallway?
- 39:25Speaker 5: Not at all.
- 39:26Speaker 4: You didn't dance? Come on.
- 39:29Speaker 6: I don't understand.
- 39:30Speaker 1: Understand why it is I say I'm not going to
- 39:33Speaker 1: do something and I don't do it. And people think
- 39:36Speaker 1: people are shocked by it.
- 39:37Speaker 6: Not even a bunny hop?
- 39:38Speaker 7: Come on.
- 39:38Speaker 6: Not at all.
- 39:39Speaker 1: I walked out and said high five.
- 39:42Speaker 5: Boo!
- 39:42Speaker 12: Boo!
- 39:43Speaker 4: Boo hiss! Boo hiss!
- 39:44Speaker 1: Boo hiss! I'm way too old for peer pressure. My
- 39:47Speaker 1: peer pressures are in. My peers are in there. Blue
- 39:52Speaker 1: plate is special. You look nice just the same.
- 39:55Speaker 4: Thank you.
- 39:55Speaker 2: I appreciate that. I was watching... Something. I forgot what
- 40:00Speaker 2: it was the other night.
- 40:00Speaker 1: Do you know where Starbucks came from? Starbucks came from?
- 40:03Speaker 4: I don't.
- 40:04Speaker 1: You don't know where the... Seattle? I have no idea.
- 40:06Speaker 1: But do you know where the name came from?
- 40:09Speaker 9: Maybe somebody's last name is Star and they got a
- 40:12Speaker 9: lot of books.
- 40:14Speaker 1: It was the first mate in Harold Melville's Moby Dick.
- 40:22Speaker 1: So the name, the first mate, his name was Starbucks.
- 40:26Speaker 1: And he was a Mormon. He was a Quaker. And
- 40:29Speaker 1: he didn't drink it. I was a Quaker from Nantucket.
- 40:31Speaker 1: And he was like Captain Ahab's, you know, conscience. So
- 40:36Speaker 1: when they were thinking of coffee and how somebody was
- 40:40Speaker 1: sober and all that kind of stuff, they named it
- 40:43Speaker 1: after that guy. That's a reach right there. His name
- 40:45Speaker 1: after him.
- 40:47Speaker 4: And why I know this.
- 40:48Speaker 1: Well, why else would you know this? Of all people,
- 40:51Speaker 1: why would you know this? Because years ago, my teacher,
- 40:56Speaker 1: Irma Bailey, she read Moby Dick to us and she
- 41:02Speaker 1: read The Iliad to us. Okay. Can I ask you
- 41:04Speaker 1: a question without being disrespectful? Moby Dick is a long book.
- 41:07Speaker 3: It is.
- 41:08Speaker 1: You stayed for the whole book? Well, she didn't read
- 41:10Speaker 1: it at one time. I know, I know. I was
- 41:13Speaker 1: in the fifth grade, fourth grade. So, of course, I stayed.
- 41:15Speaker 1: What was I going to do? Ditch the fourth grade.
- 41:17Speaker 1: I mean, you ditched the rest.
- 41:18Speaker 4: I thought maybe you started early.
- 41:20Speaker 2: But I always knew that the first mate's name was Starbuck.
- 41:25Speaker 2: I just never put two and two together.
- 41:28Speaker 1: Until now. Until I was like, I was just in
- 41:31Speaker 1: the middle of the night. I was like, wait a minute.
- 41:32Speaker 9: You woke up in the middle of the night with
- 41:34Speaker 9: that thought.
- 41:34Speaker 1: I went, wait a minute. I said, that's where that
- 41:36Speaker 1: came from. For no reason at all.
- 41:38Speaker 6: Lord have mercy.
- 41:39Speaker 2: And so I didn't read that well. And Miss Bailey would.
- 41:43Speaker 2: I don't know if anybody did.
- 41:44Speaker 1: We had to. She read us the Iliad, Homer's Iliad,
- 41:49Speaker 1: which is the Trojan War and all.
- 41:50Speaker 6: That kind of stuff.
- 41:51Speaker 1: When we just went and saw that. And she read
- 41:53Speaker 1: us this. Moby Dick.
- 41:56Speaker 6: Captain.
- 41:56Speaker 1: And that is a whole book. You remember. And I remember.
- 41:59Speaker 2: No, I remember Homer's Iliad. I remember Odysseus. I remember
- 42:02Speaker 2: all those things, too. But I remember it.
- 42:04Speaker 1: That the character was Starbuck. But I never put together
- 42:10Speaker 1: that it was, that's who the coffee company was named after. Now,
- 42:15Speaker 1: if you can't seem to hold down a job, we're
- 42:17Speaker 1: going to tell you why. Jasmine, give us five workplace
- 42:19Speaker 1: antics you should never pull by Tanvir Pert from Madame Noir.
- 42:23Speaker 9: Number five, trying to make physical advances so you can
- 42:26Speaker 9: get ahead.
- 42:27Speaker 1: Get that promotion ahead. That's usually how you got to
- 42:30Speaker 1: do it.
- 42:30Speaker 4: Wow.
- 42:31Speaker 6: Here we go with Moby Dick again.
- 42:34Speaker 1: Get that promotion.
- 42:35Speaker 9: Number four of the top five workplace antics you should
- 42:37Speaker 9: not pull. Calling for a group meeting every time you
- 42:39Speaker 9: get in your feelings.
- 42:40Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 42:41Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
- 42:41Speaker 6: I don't like that in no kind of way. Yeah,
- 42:44Speaker 6: for real. You know, we had all year.
- 42:46Speaker 9: Number three of the top five workplace antics you should
- 42:50Speaker 9: not pull.
- 42:51Speaker 1: Filing complaints to HR about everything.
- 42:54Speaker 6: Yes.
- 42:55Speaker 4: He was looking at me.
- 42:56Speaker 6: What? Yeah. What a fancy suit to work.
- 43:00Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 43:03Speaker 9: Number two of the top five workplace antics you shouldn't pull.
- 43:05Speaker 9: Selling people out.
- 43:07Speaker 1: It was him.
- 43:08Speaker 4: It was him.
- 43:09Speaker 1: He wore that suit.
- 43:11Speaker 9: And the number one of the top five workplace antics
- 43:14Speaker 9: you should not pull, getting caught doing everything except your job.
- 43:17Speaker 1: Ain't that something? That's what it is.
- 43:18Speaker 6: That's how it goes.
- 43:19Speaker 1: That's how them union workers are. That's how they get you.
- 43:22Speaker 1: That's going to do it.
- 43:23Speaker 4: It's a deal.
- 43:23Speaker 2: We'll show you a 2026 deal. So make sure that, well,
- 43:28Speaker 2: first of all, I want to thank you all for
- 43:29Speaker 2: tuning in.
- 43:30Speaker 1: You're welcome.
- 43:30Speaker 2: If you are in Columbus, Ohio, I'll be there Friday
- 43:34Speaker 2: at the Merchant Theater.
- 43:35Speaker 1: Along with Don Lemon, DL and DL. Then the following day,
- 43:38Speaker 1: we're going to be at the Tab Theater in Cincinnati, Ohio.
- 43:40Speaker 1: So come check us out if you take a notion.
- 43:44Speaker 1: Jasmine Sanders, what did you learn today?
- 43:46Speaker 9: I saw an interesting something that Raymond Simone said that
- 43:50Speaker 9: was kind of disturbing.
- 43:52Speaker 1: Has she ever said anything that wasn't?
- 43:54Speaker 9: Well, I don't know if you've ever heard something like
- 43:56Speaker 9: this before, but I haven't. She said that when she's
- 43:58Speaker 9: on her period, she wears a diaper around the house
- 44:00Speaker 9: with a baby t-shirt and a binky.
- 44:03Speaker 5: Yeah, okay.
- 44:03Speaker 1: That's what I thought. Carry on. Well, that's not disturbing.
- 44:07Speaker 1: You don't think that's disturbing? Yeah, disturbing and weird are
- 44:10Speaker 1: the same thing to me. I don't know that I'm
- 44:12Speaker 1: going to stir by it. I mean, I don't know.
- 44:14Speaker 6: What a girl puts in her mouth is her business.
- 44:18Speaker 1: It's a diaper for me, though.
- 44:19Speaker 2: I think Raven-Symoné kind of is the first Amanda Seals, right?
- 44:23Speaker 1: Amanda Seals is catching heat.
- 44:25Speaker 4: Woo!
- 44:26Speaker 9: It must be Get Amanda Month, because when I tell
- 44:28Speaker 9: you they are all over her, wow.
- 44:31Speaker 1: Yikes.
- 44:32Speaker 4: Skip, my man.
- 44:32Speaker 1: Cheat on what you learned today, baby boy. What I'm
- 44:34Speaker 1: supposed to say after raving in the diaper?
- 44:36Speaker 6: I ain't got nothing to say. I ain't got nothing
- 44:38Speaker 6: to follow.
- 44:39Speaker 4: Blood issues.
- 44:40Speaker 7: Oh, wow.
- 44:41Speaker 6: Following that.
- 44:42Speaker 4: Are you crazy?
- 44:45Speaker 1: Is that it? That's what you got?
- 44:46Speaker 4: You don't have.
- 44:47Speaker 1: Nothing to say? I'm not even trying to. Can you
- 44:48Speaker 1: blame him? Something you don't follow.
- 44:50Speaker 4: You don't like running red light skips? That's crazy.
- 44:56Speaker 6: Ask her wife.
- 44:56Speaker 1: That's a whole different issue.
- 44:59Speaker 10: Yikes.
