- Full Show | Terrence Howard's Beef, Trump & The World Cup, a Black Teen Dead in Mississippi & the Stepdad Debate Nobody Can SettleJul 10, 2026 · 44 minOver 44 minutes of the unfiltered DL Hughley Show, DL and the crew cover the stories that matter — and a few that will make you laugh out loud. Terrence Howard is trending for all the wrong reasons, and Jasmine has the tea on what he's claiming ruined his career. The World Cup is a mess, Argentina is getting every call, and DL raises the question nobody in mainstream media wants to ask: did Donald Trump actually pressure FIFA? Speaking of Trump, he's back at the Supreme Court pushing to end birthright citizenship — while naming airports after himself and posting TikToks — and DL wants to know when exactly this man said anything about the price of gas. Ron DeSantis takes an L in court as his Stop WOKE Act gets struck down, Deion Sanders drops a bombshell about secretly battling cancer while coaching Colorado, and the Democratic Party gets read for filth. Then the conversation turns deeply serious: a young Black man is dead in Mississippi, three of his so-called friends came back from the island without him, cellphone evidence has been deleted, and law enforcement is already telling you there's nothing to see here. Ben Crump is now involved, and DL's "Note from the GD Section" will stop you cold. Between the heavy moments, a woman's voice memo about her ex refusing to attend her son's game sparks one of the most honest call-in debates of the year — do you stay in a child's life after the relationship ends? Listeners, grandmothers, stepfathers, and DL all weigh in, and nobody agrees. And to close it out, the crew debuts "One Voice Jeopardy" with T.I., Keith Sweat, Rick Ross, and Karen White lyrics — and both DL and Jasmine embarrass themselves completely. It's news, laughs, and real talk. No filter. All DL.

- DLHS Hour 4 | One Voyage Jeopardy, the Mississippi Case Gets Deeper & a Cruise Game ShowJul 10, 2026 · 11 minBen Crump is now on the Mississippi case, and DL breaks down exactly why the behavior of those three boys and the rush to clear them of suspicion should have everyone asking questions. Then the mood shifts — the crew launches "One Voice Jeopardy," a brand new game show featuring lyrics from T.I., Keith Sweat, Rick Ross, and Karen White, and the results are absolutely hilarious. Jasmine and DL go head-to-head and somehow both lose. Plus, DL teases tomorrow's show: the Hughley House Party, a new Date Bud of the Week, and another round of "F You, DL Hughley."

- DLHS Hour 3 | Trump, DeSantis, Deion Sanders, and the Militant Man ReturnsJul 10, 2026 · 7 minDL doesn't hold back on Trump's latest Supreme Court move on birthright citizenship, calling it the ultimate hypocrite play after getting a World Cup red card overturned. The legendary Militant Man, Jamal Kingsley, is back to expose racism hiding in your Saturday morning cartoons and your sneaker collection — and you won't see it the same way again. Sybil Wilkes brings the news: Ron DeSantis' Stop WOKE Act just got struck down in court, and Deion Sanders reveals he secretly battled cancer while coaching Colorado. It's a packed hour that moves fast and hits hard.

- DLHS Hour 2 | Should He Stay or Should He Go? The Stepdad Debate Heats UpJul 10, 2026 · 11 minA woman's viral voice memo about her ex-boyfriend refusing to show up to her son's game sends the DL Hughley Show phones into overdrive. DL, Skip, and Jasmine unpack the question nobody has a clean answer to: when you break up with someone who helped raise their child, do you stay in that kid's life or walk away? Listeners call in with raw, real, and sometimes hilarious perspectives — including the grandmother who's still taking her son's ex-stepdaughter to see Usher and Chris Brown. The debate gets messy, the opinions get spicy, and DL has zero chill about where he stands.

- DLHS Hour 1 | Terrence Howard's Grudge, World Cup Corruption & a Mississippi Mystery of Nolan WellsJul 10, 2026 · 14 minDL kicks off the show with cruise announcements and birthday shoutouts — including a posthumous nod to OJ Simpson — but things get real fast. Jasmine drops a trending report featuring Terrence Howard and his very public grievances, then DL goes in on the World Cup controversy swirling around Argentina and Messi, and whether Donald Trump had anything to do with overturning a red card. And just when you think it's a sports story, DL delivers a powerful "Note from the GD Section" about the death of a young Black man in Mississippi — four boys went to an island, only three came back, and the silence from both witnesses and law enforcement is deafening.

- Full Show | Marcellus Wiley's Scandal, Mitch McConnell's Mystery Condition, Eric Benet Joins The Show + The Question Every Black Parent Is AskingJul 9, 2026 · 1 hrFour hours of DL Hughley at his uncut best. The crew dives into the explosive domestic abuse accusations against Marcellus Wiley — and why Jason Whitlock defending him is a whole conversation by itself. Then the question nobody wants to answer out loud: would you let your Black child go on a camping trip with rich white kids? The disappearance of Nolan Wells has the internet divided, callers fired up, and Ben Crump officially on the case.
R&B legend Eric Benet stops by to go completely off-script — Black ownership of BET, the mental health crisis among young Black men, and why turning 40 means you stop biting your tongue. Mitch McConnell's health is a national mystery his own party won't address, his wife flew back to China, and DL isn't losing any sleep over it.
Plus — U.S. strikes on Iran, Jermaine Dupri suing Sony over Da Brat and Xscape's royalties, Trump fans want a soccer player deported, Taylor Swift's wedding is stirring things up, and a man in Louisiana tried to outrun the cops straight into a swamp full of alligators. DL also gets deeply personal in his GD Section, pulling from his new memoir Charlie's Boy to ask the question America needs to sit with: aren't you tired?

Then Trump's supporters want a USA soccer player deported after a World Cup loss, Taylor Swift's wedding has the internet buzzing (and Questlove showed up with a new white girlfriend), and civil rights attorney Ben Crump has been hired by the family of missing teen Nolan Wells. DL wraps it all up with five wild online dating tips that somehow turn into a full debate about one-armed women and crocodile weddings.

- DLHS HOUR 3 | Eric Benet UnchainedJul 9, 2026 · 15 minEric Benet has traded his barefoot crochet bell-bottoms for combat boots — and he's done biting his lip. Jasmine sits down with the R&B legend for a raw, wide-open conversation about Black ownership of BET, mental health and suicide among young Black men, the lessons that come from suffering in silence, and why being over 40 means you simply don't care anymore.
Meanwhile, the crew hypes the One Voyage 2026 cruise featuring T.I., Keith Sweat, Anthony Anderson, and Ced the Entertainer. Sybil Wilkes drops a bombshell What You Need to Know — U.S. strikes on Iran, Mitch McConnell's mystery health status, and Jermaine Dupri suing Sony over royalties for Da Brat and Xscape. And someone tried to outrun a DWI in Louisiana — straight into a swamp full of alligators.

DL and the crew break down the bombshell domestic abuse accusations against the former ESPN analyst, why his wife's past behavior makes it complicated, and whether he deserves the compassion he never gave others. Then Jasmine runs through what's trending, including the controversy swirling around the animated movie Minions and the Monsters — yes, people think it's satanic. And DL gets deeply personal in his GD Section note, drawing on stories from his new memoir Charlie's Boy to ask the question America needs to answer: aren't you tired of Trump's America delivering nothing it promised?

- 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 MoreJul 8, 2026 · 42 minA 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.

- Full EP | LeBron James does not want stay-at-home wife; Incompetence or Vandalism of Reflection Pool; R&B singer J. Brown joins DLHS crew; Music icons gone too soon; and MoreJun 25, 2026 · 39 minFrom viral takes to real-world controversy and soulful conversations, the DL Hughley Show dives headfirst into the stories everybody’s talking about. The episode kicks off with the internet buzzing over LeBron James, who caught backlash after resurfaced podcast comments revealed he “could not have a stay-at-home woman,” sparking debate about gender roles and the realities of motherhood. The conversation expands into a broader cultural moment—from a Brooklyn coffee shop refusing service to Congressman Dan Goldman over his political stance, now under federal investigation, to the drama surrounding Washington, D.C.’s Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, where algae blooms and peeling paint emerged shortly after a multi-million-dollar renovation, with officials blaming vandalism despite ongoing questions.

Brown, who joins the crew to talk music, culture, and his continued chart success as an independent artist with multiple Billboard R&B hits under his belt. Then it shifts to reflection, honoring music icons who left us too soon—artists like Aaliyah, Tupac, Whitney Houston, Biggie, and Prince—whose impact still shapes the industry today. From tragic losses like Aaliyah’s fatal plane crash and Tupac’s untimely death to the lasting legacy of artists taken too early, the conversation underscores how often music’s biggest voices are gone before their time.

The “21st Century ROAD to Housing Act” aims to increase home supply, cut red tape, and even limit large investors from buying up single-family homes, all in an effort to bring costs down for everyday families. Then the conversation pivots to the Question of the Day, sparked by Whoopi Goldberg’s viral take that the Knicks should visit the White House—not as a political statement, but as a symbolic show of resilience and representation, arguing the moment could inspire younger generations. As expected, the crew and callers are split, debating whether showing up is empowerment or normalization in a deeply divided political climate.
On the Human Being of the Week front, the show highlights a real-life hero story out of Waco, Texas, where a man risked his life to save a woman trapped in dangerous floodwaters—part of a wave of flash flooding events that have led to multiple water rescues across the state. And in classic DL fashion, the show wraps with a relatable—and hilarious—Top 5 list breaking down why people don’t text back, from being boo’d up to simply not being interested. While the jokes land, there’s some truth behind it: experts say delayed responses often come down to mental overload, stress, or digital burnout rather than intentional avoidance. It’s a mix of news, culture, and comedy that keeps it real while giving listeners something to think—and laugh—about.

- Full EP | US Supreme Court deny US vs Carter 4th Amendment case; Mom sues after child steals neighbors' food; Acting legend Denzel Washington joins DLHS crew; Barack Obama Presidential Center opens in Chicago; and MoreJun 23, 2026 · 42 minFrom the courtroom to the cookout, this episode of The D.L. Hughley Show Podcast pulls no punches—opening with a sharp take on a controversial Supreme Court decision that could reshape how police encounters are judged. The Court declined to hear United States v. Carter, leaving in place a ruling that allows courts to consider race when determining whether someone felt free to leave a police interaction. DL and the crew unpack what that means in real life, questioning whether ignoring racial context truly reflects reality. Later, the conversation shifts to a wild “Question of the Day” scenario: a child steals a neighbor’s food delivery, suffers an allergic reaction, and the mother sues. The debate gets heated, but legally, experts say cases like this rarely hold up since liability typically falls on the person who took the food—not the owner who never offered it.
Things lighten up when acting legend Denzel Washington joins the show, delivering classic wisdom about his craft—reminding listeners that once a role is out, it belongs to the people, not the actor. His appearance adds a personal, reflective touch that balances the episode’s heavier topics. The show wraps with a look at the grand opening of the Barack Obama Presidential Center in Chicago, a nearly $850 million cultural campus designed to inspire future generations with interactive exhibits and community space. While some critics debate its cost and design, the crew highlights its deeper purpose as both a historical archive and a symbol of legacy—sparking a broader conversation about how history is preserved, remembered, and sometimes challenged.
