    Full EP | Federal authorities stop attack UFC 250; Men like women with less make up; Zendaya gave film crew 1% of “Malcolm & Marie;” Five worst Father’s Day gifts; and More

    From breaking news to real talk and feel-good moments, this episode of The D.L. Hughley Show Podcast blends culture, current events, and conversation you won’t hear anywhere else. The show kicks off with a major headline after federal authorities disrupted a planned attack targeting a UFC event held on the White House lawn, with investigators uncovering a multi-state plot involving weapons and even explosive drones—an operation officials say was stopped before it could unfold. The conversation then pivots into the “Question of the Day,” where the crew debates why heavy makeup remains popular despite research showing men often prefer a more natural look—studies have found both men and women consistently rate lighter makeup as more attractive, even though many assume the opposite.   The show also highlights a powerful feel-good story during “Human Being of the Week,” saluting Zendaya for her behind-the-scenes generosity on Malcolm & Marie, where she ensured crew members received profit participation—an uncommon move in Hollywood that helped some earn significant payouts after the film’s sale. Wrapping things up with humor, DL breaks down the five worst Father’s Day gifts, calling out the usual suspects like ties, socks, and “World’s Best Dad” mugs—items often criticized for feeling generic or last-minute instead of thoughtful.   Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/the-dl-hughley-show  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Full EP | Federal judge orders Trump replace signs about slavery; Mom squanders child’s college fund; Comedian Gary Owen joins DLHS crew; Drama surrounding World Cup in North America; and More

    The D.L. Hughley Show dives headfirst into controversy and culture, starting with a major court ruling that’s reigniting conversations about how America tells its story. A federal judge has ordered the restoration of national park exhibits covering slavery, climate change, and Indigenous history after they were removed under a 2025 directive—calling the changes a dangerous attempt to “rewrite history” and censor critical truths. From there, the conversation shifts to a viral moral dilemma that hits close to home: a mother blowing her daughter’s college fund on her son’s wedding, sparking debate over betrayal, accountability, and whether family ties should override personal boundaries. Stories like this aren’t rare—similar real-life cases have even led to lawsuits, with young adults taking legal action when parents misuse education funds meant for their future.   The show lightens things up with comedian Gary Owen, whose journey from U.S. Navy serviceman to BET’s “Comic View” breakout star and fan-favorite performer highlights why he remains a staple in comedy, known for connecting with diverse audiences and blending cultural humor with real-life experiences. But things take another serious turn with the drama surrounding the World Cup in North America, where visa denials, travel restrictions, and even officials being refused entry have cast a shadow over the global event. Reports confirm that referees, team staff, and fans from multiple countries have been turned away due to tightened U.S. immigration policies, raising concerns about fairness and accessibility on one of the world’s biggest stages. From legal battles and family drama to comedy and global controversy, this episode delivers a sharp, unfiltered take on the headlines shaping the moment.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/the-dl-hughley-show  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
