DLHS Hour 4 | Five Things You Need to Know about Breast Cancer Oct 09, 2026

Show notes

Jasmine Sanders closes with five essential breast-cancer facts: mammograms can find cancer before symptoms appear, a biopsy is needed for a definitive diagnosis, cancers may be invasive or noninvasive, surgery commonly involves either lumpectomy or mastectomy, and factors such as age, family history, and breast density can affect risk. Current guidance recommends mammograms every two years for women ages 40 to 74 at average risk, while those with dense breasts should discuss their personal risk and possible additional screening with a clinician.

DLHS Hour 3 | Government Evaluating FBI Investigation in Nolan Wells Case Oct 09, 2026

Show notes

The show also follows renewed calls for federal scrutiny in the death of 18-year-old Nolan Wells, whose body was recovered on Horn Island two days after a Fourth of July boating trip. A Mississippi grand jury declined to bring charges and investigators said the evidence did not indicate foul play, but the state and independent autopsies listed the cause and manner of death as undetermined, leaving Wells’s family pressing for answers as President Trump said he was considering asking the FBI to investigate.

DLHS Hour 2 | Panama Jailing Mothers Who Lie About Paternity Oct 09, 2026

Show notes

The Question of the Day turns to Panama’s new paternity-fraud law, which punishes deliberate deception with two to five years in prison and financial penalties, requires DNA testing in disputed cases, ends future legal obligations when fraud is proven, and preserves a child’s right to establish biological parentage; hosts and callers debate whether the United States should adopt similar consequences or instead prioritize immediate paternity testing and restitution.

DLHS Hour 1 | Trump Promises Payment to Voters Ahead of Midterm Oct 09, 2026

Show notes

They question the timing of President Donald Trump’s pre-midterm promises, including a one-time $90 payment for more than 20 million eligible Medicare Part B enrollees, $500 Affordable Care Act rebates for roughly one million people, and a proposed $5,000 check for every American adult if Republicans retain Congress—a pledge that would require congressional approval and could cost more than $1 trillion.

Full EP | Opal Lee Turns 100; The Heavy-Makeup Debate; Wendy Raquel Robinson Gets Candid; eBay’s Wildest Celebrity Sales Oct 08, 2026

Show notes

History, beauty, Hollywood, and bizarre celebrity collectibles collide in an episode packed with sharp opinions and big laughs. D.L. Hughley and the crew celebrate Dr. Opal Lee’s 100th birthday as the “Grandmother of Juneteenth” helps launch construction of Fort Worth’s 50,000-square-foot National Juneteenth Museum, projected to open in 2029; her decades of advocacy helped make Juneteenth a federal holiday in 2021. The Question of the Day asks why heavy makeup remains popular when many men say they prefer a lighter look, prompting callers to debate confidence, acne coverage, social-media filters, reality-TV beauty standards, creativity, competition, and self-expression. Research reflects that complexity: women report using cosmetics for impression management, enhancement and confidence, fun and well-being, creativity, and identity—not simply to attract a partner.

Actress Wendy Raquel Robinson joins the crew for a hilarious, revealing conversation about being expelled from Hollywood High, the legendary Los Angeles school coffee cake, her Howard University experience, and the life-changing value of HBCUs. Beyond her celebrated roles as Regina Grier on The Steve Harvey Show and Tasha Mack on The Game, Robinson co-founded Amazing Grace Conservatory, which provides performing and digital arts training to underserved young people and has grown from 75 students to serving more than 500 annually. Queen Indy B, who is in for Jasmine Sanders, closes with five unbelievable items purchased on eBay, including Justin Bieber’s hair clippings, Justin Timberlake’s half-eaten French toast, Pharrell’s famous Grammy hat, William Shatner’s kidney stone, and an alleged Britney Spears pregnancy test—proof that celebrity fame can turn almost anything into a collectible; Bieber’s hair brought $40,668 for charity, Timberlake’s leftovers sold for $1,025, and Shatner’s kidney stone raised $25,000.

Full EP | Actor Da’Vinchi Calls Black Americans Lazy and to Forget Slavery; Should Grown Children Pay Rent at Parent’s Home; Should Grown Children Pay Rent at Parent’s Home; John Legend Starts Initiative to Pay College Students Rent; Weird Things Women Do According to Men; and More Oct 07, 2026

Show notes

From a viral diaspora debate to a family standoff over rent, this episode brings the heat, the heart, and the everyday habits that keep relationships interesting. D.L. Hughley and the crew respond to actor Da’Vinchi’s appearance on Cam Newton’s Funky Friday, where he criticized Americans as overly dependent and “incompetent” while discussing work ethic, parenting, and why overseas actors land U.S. roles; Newton pushed back that convenience and efficiency are not the same as laziness, and Da’Vinchi later acknowledged that his sweeping statement should have been more specific. The show rejects the broader framing—especially any suggestion that Black Americans should simply move past slavery—arguing that the institution’s legacy and the systems built from it still shape American life.

The Question of the Day shifts the conversation to whether a 29-year-old son and his partner should contribute $600 a month after moving into his parents’ home to escape a $3,700 rent bill, with the hosts and callers largely agreeing that grown adults should help cover food and utilities—and ideally use the reduced cost to save toward independence; the question lands at a time when about 20% of Americans ages 25 to 34 live with their parents, with high housing costs a major driver. The crew also salutes John Legend for partnering with Bilt and Scholarship America to provide 50 eligible off-campus students at Morehouse College, Central State University, Wilberforce University, and his alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania, with one-time, need-based $850 housing awards—an effort inspired by his own experience working multiple jobs to pay rent in college. Jasmine Sanders closes with a playful list of habits men find puzzling, from buying painful shoes and rejecting every restaurant suggestion to guarding decorative soap and claiming not to want fries before eating someone else’s.
