Full EP | Female Athletes Upset with Sydney Sweeney; So Many Women Supporting Lindsay Clancy Odd to D.L. Hughley; D.L. Catches Up with Comedian Earthquake; The Militant Man Jamal Kingsley; and More Sep 15, 2026

Show notes

Big debates, hard truths, and nonstop laughs collide as D.L. Hughley and the crew take on the stories everyone is talking about. They unpack the backlash to Sydney Sweeney’s provocative “Just Sports” campaign for Novig, where she is also a strategic partner and equity holder, as female athletes argue that the ad’s imagery reinforces the very stereotypes they have fought to overcome; the conversation also weighs Sweeney’s creative agency. Hughley then questions why so much public sympathy has centered on Lindsay Clancy instead of her three children after jurors deadlocked and a judge declared a mistrial in her murder case, while acknowledging the larger debate over accountability, maternal mental-health care, and the defense’s claim that she experienced postpartum psychosis.

Comedian Earthquake catches up with D.L. and jokes about discovering on Father’s Day that a child he had supported was not biologically his, while Jamal Kingsley—the Militant Man—satirizes hidden racial bias in familiar phrases before hosting a One Voyage Cruise lyric challenge. The episode also features the GED word game, Ian Edwards’ stand-up, Boosie’s claim that he paid $600,000 pursuing a presidential pardon that never came, and the crew’s signature mix of sharp commentary and unapologetic humor.
