FULL EP | Teens Who Smoke Weed Experience Mental and Physical Health Issues; US Citizens Grieve Over Lost of SNAP Benefits; R&B Icon Smokey Robinson Joins the DLHS Crew; and MORE
This episode of The D.L. Hughley Show Podcast takes listeners on a sharp, funny, and unapologetically real ride through some of today’s most heated social issues. D.L. opens with a powerful monologue on the SNAP benefits crisis, blasting lawmakers for showing more compassion for corporations than for children. As millions of Americans face hunger during the government shutdown, D.L. notes the hypocrisy of a Christian nation that starves the poor while subsidizing billionaires. D.L. emphasizing that the average U.S. minimum wage of $7.75 can’t buy basic groceries, let alone pay rent. In lighter moments, the show’s Question of the Day ignites a lively debate: Is making a three-year-old do 80 squats punishment or abuse? Listeners call in from across the country, split between praising the dad’s creative parenting and condemning it as boot camp for toddlers. Later, the legendary Smokey Robinson joins the crew, offering heartfelt reflections on the birth of Motown Records and how his music helped break racial barriers — recalling letters from white parents who once forbade their kids to listen to Black artists but later admitted they’d fallen in love with his sound. During the Jazzy Report, Jasmine warns that teens who smoke weed before age 15 face higher mental and physical health risks, grounding the laughs and cultural commentary in real-world consequences.
