    DLSH Full Show | Carmelo's Trial Rigged? Secret Messages, Nolan Wells' Suspicious Death & The Debate That's Breaking Up Couples + MORE

    DL Hughley is live from Houston and he brought the heat — and not just from the Texas weather. This week's full show has everything: a jaw-dropping legal update on a former NBA star whose trial may have been compromised from the jump — and the judge's behavior is raising serious red flags. Then, an NFL wide receiver is facing a bombshell sexual assault accusation backed by over 100 pages of private messages. The tragic death of 18-year-old Nolan Wells on a Fourth of July boat trip is sending shockwaves — and now Ben Crump and Al Sharpton are involved, demanding answers about what really happened out on that water. Sunny Hostin's comment on The View about American flags sparks a real conversation about patriotism, fear, and what this country actually means to us. Florida's attempt to control what gets taught on college campuses just got shut down by a federal court — and the language they used was fire. Social media is coming for a beloved R&B legend over her appearance, and DL is not having it. The crew does a new movie review, callers go OFF in the "F You, DL Hughley" segment, and the eternal relationship debate — should your man pay for your hair and nails? — has people choosing sides. All that, a Shoe Booty of the Week you won't believe, and Jasmine may or may not be swimsuit shopping. It's a full week of DL, unfiltered and unapologetic.

    Full EP | Mississippi Teen Nolan Wells Found Dead After 4th of July; American Flags Make You Feel Paranoid or Patriotic; F- You DL Hughley; Five Reasons USMNT Loss to Belgium; and More

    A Fourth of July celebration turned tragic as the show opened with the heartbreaking story of 18-year-old Mississippi college football player Nolan Wells, whose body was found after he disappeared during a holiday outing on Horn Island. As authorities continue investigating the circumstances surrounding his death, Wells’ family has retained civil rights attorney Ben Crump and is seeking answers about what happened during his final hours. The conversation then shifted to a passionate Question of the Day about whether seeing an abundance of American flags inspires patriotism or unease. The discussion reflected a broader national debate, with recent polling finding that views of the American flag have become increasingly polarized along racial, generational, and political lines. The crew explored how a symbol historically associated with unity now sparks very different reactions depending on personal experiences and perspectives.   Sometimes fans get upset with some of the things that DL has to say, so he gives them the opportunity to say F- You DL Hughley. The show also celebrated everyday heroism by recognizing a California man who helped stop a gunman during a World Cup watch party, potentially saving lives in the process. Wrapping things up, the team broke down the U.S. Men’s National Team’s disappointing 4-1 World Cup loss to Belgium, mixing sports analysis with comedy after a defeat that ended America’s tournament run. Despite a brief spark from Malik Tillman’s equalizer, Belgium’s clinical attack proved too much, sending the USMNT home and leaving fans to wonder what comes next for American soccer.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/the-dl-hughley-show  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
