Speaker 1 (00:00):
It is the d Here we show you a twenty
twenty five edition.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
A very very big shout out to everybody came out
in Oxnar this weekend.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
It really was a lot of fun coming up. We
have Greensborough.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
We're gonna be there Friday and Saturday, and then the
following week we're gonna be a city riding for a
four day run so in Atlanta.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
So we got it. We racking them up.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
I got a chance to see you, and I don't
even know how it came up on my timeline. Amanda
Seals versus you know, conservatives, and she makes the point
that she is not she's a radical. Uh and but
the white white supremacist if their goal is to because
there are black men, I've met and talked to some

(00:43):
black men and Latin men who inherently believe that white
men are superior.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
White man's inherently believing.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
And the predicate this iteration of conservatism. Black conservatives can't
just be different ideologically. They have to pair it back
all the stereotypical insults that they do. Like I heard
one block, God, we don't have any culture. That's why
it is, we don't have any culture. Well, when did
we not have culture or Byron Donalds well Jim Crow,

(01:13):
the family union was together. That's like wearing tight shoes
so you feel like you take them. It's the way
that they have to contort to fit in. If I
hear one more person paired this back. Crime is about proximity. Yes,
it is about poverty and proximity. If something were to
happen to you, who would they look at first? The
people closest to you. If a crime does happen to you,

(01:34):
you're more likely for it to happen to you. Now
where I live, it'd be white people that did it
to me. Dude, They say, if it was nine of
black people killed by black but guess what eighty seven
percent of white people killed by white people exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
Eighty nine. I mean, it's all we are.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
We never talk about crimes like sexual assault and rate.
We don't talk about those, right, just murder. But I
thought a man that did a great job and it
was unfair. Is like in the battle of which they
came unarmed, right right, And stop calling it the debate,
calling it the shouting match, because the debate you have
to have some level of facts. It can't be just
what you heard from Fox. It's crazy all right coming up.

(02:12):
Happy birth to the Christian Slater, dude, I like a lot.
Happy birthday of the Dennis Leary. Happy breatha of Robert Redford.
Happy breath of the Joseph Marcel the butler on Fresh Prince.
Happy birth to the Nico Hark Kevin Hart's wife. Happy

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Happy birtha the Jeremy Shockey. He was a cold piece

Parker McKenna, posey on Katie and my wife and kids.
Happy birthday the master Killer from the wou Tang Clan.
Happy breath to the fat Lea or La fair Leber.

Speaker 1 (02:39):

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Happy breath to the Willie McCauley sign from the NBA,
and possibly, of course, Happy birthday to the Malcolm Joel
Warner who you know gone through so Happy breath of
the Patrick Swayzee. Happy breatha of Roberto Clemente, one of
the best that ever did it a shortstop.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
They say it's the greatest short stop ever. I agree.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Happy breath to the Shelley Winters. Happy refter Reggie Cathy
Norman Wilson on The Wire and Freddy on the House
of Cards. Happy After the Gail Fisher, one of TV's
last prominent black actresses. She won several awards for playing

Speaker 1 (03:12):
Remember that, Yeah, boy, turn on, I'm coming in. Yeah,
we was.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
We was at Mama's first BCR, the first PC. That's
why we know something about Luca Lord. We ain't saying
we're proud of it, but we do know, Yes we do.
Happy refter the Sarah Dadds, the member of LaBelle Happy
Refter the Greg Leaks of the Real House of Real
Housewives of Atlanta.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
He passed on. Mimi is a great woman. I hung
out with a couple of times. She's sweet woman. Welcome.
We got a great show coming up. It is the
DL Hughley Show.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
Over the weekend, I got a chance to see Amanda
Seals versus twenty Conservatives I think on Jubilee, and we
stopped calling it the debate.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
It's a shouting match.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
The debate you're supposed to come to with fast, which
Amanda Seals did and dismounted him. I think that you
know now we know why a gorilla of fighting one
hundred men is a fair fight because the gorilla's much smaller.
And why now we know why progressives are radical or
a liberal fighting twenty conservatives a fair fight because they're
much smarter. The thing about black conservativism or black maga

(04:12):
is that you cannot just be just idiologically opposed. You
can't just be, you know, a traditional Republican for smaller
government or for the abortion issue, or you know, or taxes.
You are there to demonstrably show a disdain for people
that look like you, a hatred for people to look
at you.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
That is your stocking trade.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
The only discernible difference between what racist white supremacists say
and what black conservatives say is waste is white supremacists.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Get a lot more black class, that's all.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
But they say exactly the same things, like when you
talk about black on crime, we're black on black crime,
which was a phenomenon that doesness. If something happen to
you right now, they would look at the people people
in closest proximity to you. Crime is about poverty. Crime
is about proximity. You are more likely to be hurt
by people that look just like you if you live
in that same neighborhood where I live, it will probably
if it wasn't a member of my family, it would

(05:01):
be somebody in this neighborhood.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
They look decidedly different than me.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
But they always have a special distancation to explain what
has happened to black people. It is always your fault.
It is always what we have done, and that is
their stock in trade. That is what they do. They
are always the ones who pair it back the most
demeaning aspecter of ourselves, and they do it. They do
it gladheadedly, but they're never really accepted anywhere. You don't
see any one of them in a respective business in

(05:26):
the Trump administration, not one. They'll roll them out when
they have something to do and they have to argue
the most inhumane things, like Jim Crow, like Byron Donalds
when his Ata boy and Jim Crow are one guy,
a conservative guy was nuancing the three Fips compromise. What
black conservatives are there to do. The only thing they're

(05:46):
there to do is to pair it back the most inane,
hateful things, the hateful stereotypes that they can get away
with saying black people are there. Black conservatives are there
to put an asterisk on hate. That's a little bit
of a note from the ged section.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
It's the D hugly shell. She's jazz, Yes, she's smart.
It's the Jazzy report on the D L hug shell.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
So scientists are suggesting that over thousands of years, modern
lifestyles could render certain body features obsolete, like body hair.
Because of clothing, indoor heating, and the way we groom ourselves,
body hair is becoming finer and we may eventually see
it disappear.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
Do you know there's a there's a There are some
people like Jasmine has that little hole in her by
her ear, and she showed me a bunch of people.
They say that that was an adaptation because they used
to be amphibious. Now, you got to remember that humans evolve,
like from.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
The cave man to like like.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
White people's noses are thinner because it tends to be colder.
Black people's skin is darker, noses though wider because the
air is hotter.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
So I can imagine that would happened.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
Yeah, and some other things. We're gonna lose wisdom to
a lot of people. Don't even grow them anymore because
we ain't wise. I don't know what we need. I
only have one, and the dentist you know they're aways,
Like where's your other? Did you get them pulled? No?
I never had them, only grew one.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yeah, own mind was impacted.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
Look at it, Lord, Look at your mama's bed, not
in my mama's bed.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
Also, our tailbones may be obsolete because we're sitting for
long periods of time and all that, so they may
shrink or vanish over time. Of course, our appendance a
lot of times we get those removed anyway, so they
may evolve away. And ear muscles.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
It says that we don't listen.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
They once helped our ancestors swabble their ears towards sounds,
but today they're mostly inactive, so they may.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
No need to hear. Ain't nobody listening to nobody? No way?

Speaker 3 (07:51):
So we may be leaving losing body parts in the future.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
Yeah, we've always lost our conscience and our ads, so
why not you know what I mean, everything that makes
us human we're losing. Like now they're walking up to people,
have proved to me you're American?

Speaker 1 (08:03):
How do you do what?

Speaker 2 (08:04):
I'm fat and I can't read? Like now they're talking
about all the people. Aren't the farms and Americans can't
get fresh vessels of the fruits. We ain't never had
that if the only time Americans really be upset if
farm workers didn't come, if they had a French fried
farm or people that's the only French. So this is

(08:26):
an interview Will Swift did with U Up. I think
it's all the smoke, right because yeah, yeah, Stack and
Stephen Barnes. When you hear Stack almost well Stack, you know,
I love the kid, but he beat up a whole
city right from Port Arthur, so you know it's everything
can be settled with an ass whipping like a lot
of that's gonna be his default position. But I think

(08:49):
when I look at what happened here two or three
years now, this has happened, but the fact that Will
got so emotional about it let him know it ain't
settled for him.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
So three years later, what do you.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
Think of of Will and Chris's incident?

Speaker 1 (09:04):
What do you think of that? Do you think?

Speaker 2 (09:06):
Because I can tell you this just based on how
motion he is and the things he's done, like the
music he's done, and he never less comfortable in front
of audiences anymore, and he used to be just as warm.
So something in him changed. Yes, something's very different about him,
you know, because there was a kid and I'll never
forget this. You know, when I was a kid, there

(09:29):
was this kid that they used to harass, like because
everybody got bullied, but they used to He was he
had those metal forced gump braces on. And I remember
I came to the bathroom and they were they were
knocking him out and he was in the bathroom floor
of the and they had the you know, boy's bathroom,
a third elementary school bathroom is.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
Probably the worst place ever.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
And he was laying there and he said, help me, man, man,
because if they if I help you, they gonna do
it to me too. And I think about that all
the time. I know I'm decidedly different because of that.
That is one incident that a week doesn't go by.
Why I don't think about that. There are things like
that that aught you. And I said, I'll lose a lot,
but I'll never be a coward like that again, never ever.

(10:09):
It's the way that I it grounded me in the
way out, because you can't run from yourself. You know
who you are, you know what you did, you know
what you're capable of. So who do you think that
that incident changed more? Was it Will or was it Chris?
That's the question we're gonna ask ask to you eight
seven seven two four two two four two six one
Do you.

Speaker 3 (10:29):
Do that You've been here long enough? Up on the
website at the Dlhagley Show dot com or Facebook and Instagram.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
At the d L.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
Hugley Show.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
All right, we're waiting for your calls. It is the
d O. Hugley Show. Who do you think is most
most changed from that slap?

Speaker 2 (10:42):
I'll say this, Uh, I don't think Will would have
done that to somebody else. I don't think he had
done that as Tony Rode like. He might have done it,
but it would have been a whole different. Like when
I grew up, I was always the first one pick
for a fight and the last one picked for a game.
I understood that you have to make it hard for people.
And I can tell you this for sure. It's no
way you to slap me like that and turn your

(11:03):
back on me. With all that metal on the table. Now,
I'm telling you that that oscar would have been in
the police evidence locker.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
I'm not even kidding. It has some density it or something.
All you heard whill look out.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Because my Mama said, if God wanted you to fight fair,
he wouldn't it been a bricks and dark corners, he
wouldn't have done it.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
I'm not so I think that aspect of it.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
And I know Chris and the thing that I know
for sure Chris when he got Saturday Night Live before
that that week, he was jumped and he was mother
put in the hospital. Like, Chris is not a fighter, dude.
I remember one time, Chris is the only person that
ever called me that hurt my feelings. He called me
and I was like this. Next time, I say, I'm
gonna be you, I swear. And next time I saw

(11:49):
him at the Morgan Hotel, he was He's just not
a fighter. He's just not He's not a coward, but
he ain't a fighter and he's not confrontation because I
don't think he would have done that out of the
spirit of me is But people can ascribe to it
whatever they want to. But who do you think is
the most changed from that event? Because I've never seen
Chris do an interview. I saw him doll comedy, but

(12:10):
he never talks about to anybody about anything. So who
do you think is the most changed for that, We're
gonna go to a social media platform and to be
with her.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
They say nothing.

Speaker 3 (12:17):
Uh, Crystal is saying, I think it's Will Smith because
he has to live with that, He has to live
with what he did.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
Yeah, you know what, the most predictable thing about somebody
who's prone to violence is how predictable that are. Do
you know why black people, poor people, people of color
tended when they in court? They go early because they
know that juries are less inclined to listen before, less

(12:47):
inclined to listen before they eat.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
They know that as a matter of protocol. They know it.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
So that's why you'll see richer people come later on
generally comfortable and you can yeah, you ain't worried about it.
So I think that if you look at the way
Will carries himself in public now, like when he did
the rap video his own award show, he doesn't look
like the same Will he used to. I mean, I

(13:12):
was as warm up for years, I was as warm
up for years on Fresh Prince. He looks decidedly different.
So who do you think is the most changed. I've
seen Chris once since then, and he's been the same.
If you've seen me in the public. He's he's really
a totally different duty is on stage. But who you
think is the most changed for them? That that is
the question that we're gonna post for you, because the

(13:34):
slap War seems to be having a harder time than
slap b in my estimates.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
Eight seven seven two two two six. It's the D. L.
