The Truth with Sherwin Hughes · Thu Aug 13, 2026

Oh

Sherwin Hughes

Sugar honey

iced tea

Sherwin Hughes

Welcome to our three of the sugar honey iced tea truth which are when you let's talk to Linda You're on one on one seven the truth Good morning

America.

Good morning professor.

It's a great day in Milwaukee

Every day

Sherwin Hughes

is

a good day.

Sherwin Hughes

Every day is a good day.

That's my new saying.

I'm saying going forward is a great day in Milwaukee.

But that's called energy overstimulation or drainage during when we are like in a crowd as opposed to in the studio because we are more than skin and bones for real.

And yeah, that's really great that you tapped into that, too, because we need to be aware that when we are around different energies, that it can drain us or over-stimulate us.

And we have to balance the two.

But yeah, that's really interesting subject to delve into.

But back to Crawley.

how we move forward from here.

Yes, I want to work in his campaign.

And yes, I want to bring forth the best of us and kindness in our conversations and how we represent ourselves and assert our needs.

And yes, I did type up a list last night of our political agenda.

And I want to give it to Crawley.

Yes, I want to work on this thing, Sherwin, because this is our moment.

This is our moment.

We have to seize it.

And I really love the culture and the climate of the truth with Sherwin Hughes, man.

We need to just really be in that studio.

I'm just staying in a fireplace.

the music going down with his, you know, his lecture.

Man, I could just see it.

It's so beautiful.

Sherwin Hughes

It's not

creating a culture.

It's what I'm saying.

And it's really beautiful.

Sherwin Hughes

Thank you.

But your agenda for for the black people that you want to share with the Democratic nominee.

Why now?

Whatever your agenda is.

Don't just wait until David Crowley runs for governor or becomes governor That should be an agenda that you can help to implement in the meantime because then what happens to your agenda if he doesn't get elected It just goes away.

Well, do you still

have

Sherwin Hughes

the city government?

It hasn't changed

since 1964.

It's just that we are reverting it

to where it is not a black issue, but a civil rights issue.

Sherwin Hughes

Civil rights issues are black.

But hold on.

When you make the civil rights issue, you got included.

It's going to be the gays.

It's going to be the Asians, and it's going to be the Mexicans.

Exactly.

Hold on, Linda.

Wait a minute.

Linda?

Nope.

Bad idea.

Let

me

Sherwin Hughes

tell you why.

Because we got specific issues.

All of

our issues are human issues.

Remember, we said that all of our issues are human issues.

So therefore, when we

express our political agenda, we're talking about human issues, man.

Sherwin Hughes

Linda that's very nice in a world that is completely and totally colorblind or post-racial They're all human issues you are correct, but people are going to see race first race leads Races politics races division race segregates children from certain schools race segregates geography race segregates this entire city the votes that David probably got if you look at the line It is literally drawn right along race.

I understand your human agenda But if people that will be there implementing that agenda see race first it's not a human agenda

anymore.

Also, I would caution against us as black people who have been marginalized better and harder and more effectively than any of these other groups combining our issues with theirs because we're going to get put at the end of the line.

I understand but you also said that we need a character like Obama and Obama was for human rights and issues and so I am saying that wasn't

Sherwin Hughes

that the biggest criticism Linda when we water down our agenda to incorporate everybody else because what black we become people pleasers and we allow everybody else to get opportunities and we support them and they never come and support us so what's on your agenda can you tell me what it is do you have it in front of you now I'm curious

What's your I

don't have it in front of me.

I have it on the USB, but in my laptop, but I did cover some of that last night on your huge views for one forward.

Sherwin Hughes

What's one of the I don't remember doing a lot of Georgia.

Okay.

What's one thing

I was saying for one

where he started from at the Sherman Phoenix, developing our community.

Because we have groups that are taking back their community, such as the Sherman Phoenix, such as Bronzeville, such as Amani.

We have homes that are being built in Amani, and they're taking back the power of their communities.

They're saying and asserting pride, black pride in these

So I'm saying that politically we can develop our communities.

That's not that's not saying black black black I'm saying develop communities that are working.

Okay

That's one.

Another is investing in those communities with job access and training for the youth and older, you know, connect with businesses, attract businesses back to Milwaukee, offer them incentives, you know, to work with qualified and upcoming interested youth and stuff.

You know what I'm saying?

What it takes, we just have to invest in what we got.

All right, Linda.

Don't get me stirred up here this early.

I don't want to get you stirred up.

But I'm sorry.

But I do share it.

I can see us in our election gear.

Man, come on now.

We're

Sherwin Hughes

gonna

make this work and we're gonna make it fun.

Hello.

When you say

Sherwin Hughes

us, who do you mean by us?

Not me.

You and me.

You can't do that

Linda Why they

Sherwin Hughes

always got to make it weird I Think her agenda makes a lot of sense investing in what we have and developing the community know those are all

Great things attracting jobs providing incentives now We need a workforce though because if we bring jobs here, which is very possible Milwaukee is a hot place it is a lot of people want to come here a lot of businesses companies want to relocate here cost of living is reasonable even though our housing Has gone up in price because a lot of people are not selling so that there's a scarcity on the housing market It's still a lot cheaper than in other Midwestern cities

Lot of activities a lot of culture a lot of restaurants We're on a lake that that helps Fresh water is a very big deal fresh water is a leading industry here in the 21st century So I think we have a lot of the trappings of what could be an international city Now something that we are missing and this is the throwback to the segregation is we don't have a more solid

Public transportation infrastructure and them damn scooters ain't it.

I hate the scooters I don't want the scooters because the people that get on the scooters are irresponsible on the scooter I gotta park my car gotta watch out make sure somebody ain't coming on a scooter cuz

if I open the door to the Tesla and you hit the Tesla door, I'm gonna be more concerned about my door Damn scooters don't don't do it.

We need

trains

Light rail high speed rail commuter rail gotta have the trains we need them people don't like the street car the street car is supposed to expand I want to be able to hop on the train I want to be able to hop on a train in front of my house take the train all the way to work I don't want to have to drive my car all the time all the places I've taken a street car before Pick me up and drop me off the same goddamn spot didn't go anywhere I'm not not shouldn't say it goes you know, it's in the third ward and then

And then it goes over by Cathedral Square, you know, and then it goes over by the points East area where you got the pick and save and you got the Panera bread.

It goes.

It's got a little loop.

It's got a little 2.2 mile loop.

It's OK.

We need to expand it, though.

Transportation is extremely expensive.

Having a vehicle is expensive.

You got to maintain the vehicle.

Got to buy the gasoline for the vehicle Got to put oil in it you got to insure it and Depending upon where you live your insurance rates might be very very high You know that they can raise your insurance rates based on your credit score.

That's not fair So if that's the thing that we're missing we can't grow as a region and Cavalier Johnson who's the mayor of the city?

He has a very ambitious plan

He wants to grow the city of Milwaukee to a million people.

In fact, I think the plan is called grow Milwaukee We're gonna put a million people where I don't that's too many people that's Gotta think this thing through that 580 590,000 people now doubling the number of people that live in this city So everywhere I go, I'm gonna see twice the people

No, thank you.

We don't even have the highway infrastructure to double the amount of people because that's double the amount of cars is double the amount of traffic.

Now it's also more tax revenue.

It's more income tax revenue.

It's more sales tax revenue, but there's a bunch of drawbacks to having all of those people.

I like Milwaukee just the way it is.

It's not too crowded.

Even when traffic is bad, it's not really that bad.

You can move about kind of freely, but we can't expand the metro area until we get.

More public transportation options, but for some reason it's just not It's not a politically expedient topic if David Crowley as he's campaigning all throughout the state of Wisconsin and David's gonna come back with all sorts of Conversations and information that we never would have heard here in Milwaukee because people that live way somewhere else They got different issues legitimate issues, but just not the same as ours.

Are you choose are more urban related?

He'll lose the race if he talks about expanding

Transportation options because you know what that means.

It means integration You can't talk about that Because the white people God bless the whites.

They've moved as far away as they possibly can they used to just move to why we're Tosa or Franklin Now they got to go further used to just move to brown deer, you know, we did a brown deer

Brown deer is Brown deer is the one of the blackest communities I think I've ever seen in my entire life.

I feel like it's a good mixture of You know black and white It's black at least where my parents live.

I don't know I feel like it's no, it's diverse.

It's very diverse.

Sherwin Hughes

It is compared to Milwaukee.

Yes It's about damn near the same I don't know.

I mean it's an anecdotal evidence, but you know my parents blocked have

a white family, a Hmong family, a black family.

The Hmongs are heavy and brown.

Oh, yeah.

They're kind of

Sherwin Hughes

everywhere.

Yeah,

they

Sherwin Hughes

are.

But I feel like it's very diverse.

A nice diverse middle class, upper middle class, you know.

It's trending, poor.

Is it?

Oh, God, yeah.

It's a little bit.

I don't know.

That's some poverty and brown deer.

They got a Walmart, bro.

That's whenever.

There's a Walmart in Brookfield You don't say yeah get out of Dodd Brookfield could be trending poor though, too.

No, they would not let that happen You mean to tell me that there's no there's no I bet you there's section 8 in Brookfield is it's just not publicized They'll be section 8 in Brookfield, but it won't be like a section 8 complex.

It'll be an apartment building where there are some people that are

Getting their rent paid by Section 8 because if you qualify for a voucher, I think you can essentially live anywhere and the federal government pays like 70% of your rent.

How do I get that?

I get on a waiting list.

You can or you can meet a woman that hasn't just moved in with her.

I don't that's not my style.

You never live with a woman before?

No, I would never.

Sometimes you have to know why don't we split the bills?

Well, I mean, if it's that kind of situation, but I would never move in to another woman's house.

That's

no, no, no, that's insane.

Sherwin Hughes

No, never.

She's got to move into yours.

Yes.

Um, you ever gone through a woman's phone before?

Uh, one time.

Highly recommended.

Only one time.

I recommend it highly.

Only one time.

You're going to find the same thing.

They're very smart now.

They'll randomly change their passwords.

Or here's what's crazy.

Like if you go through her phone mysteriously, she hasn't received any text messages since 2012.

Why do you need to go through a woman's phone?

That's insane.

Oh, no, it's not.

That's toxic.

If you feel like you need to go through a woman's phone, you do not need to be with that woman.

Xavier, what do I do?

I do editorial journalism.

I investigate.

I need to find the truth.

I need to uncover the truth.

I got to go looking for the truth.

I got to go dig for the truth.

I can't just accept what somebody says.

If I interview a Republican, I can't just accept what they say.

I go dig in their record.

I go and search and I go research.

I look at the background.

I need the background.

I don't care what you say to me.

I want to hear what you say.

The things that you don't say to me.

I need I gots to have it.

So you're so I gots to have it.

So you'll be like, oh, give me your phone so I can look or you'll you'll sneak.

Oh, let me sneak.

I'm

Sherwin Hughes

going to get in that phone.

I got it.

If I'm getting serious, I just got to know.

I got to know.

Well, the viewers should not call me toxic anymore.

You are definitely I'll take it because I'm being called toxic by people that have stuff that's in their phone and they think about calling me toxic.

I won't go through that phone.

I'm going I'm I'm a live in that phone.

I'm a live.

I'm a live there.

In fact, you know what?

How

Sherwin Hughes

often do you check a woman's phone?

Not like every woman that I know, because some of them are just birds.

I don't care what they say.

But if I really like her, and we're trying to get serious, I gots to know.

It'll be a while.

A weekly check or monthly check?

Whenever I get the urge.

Usually, here's the best time to check.

When she's asleep.

Oh, yeah, you're toxic three o'clock four o'clock in the morning I'm wide awake and I just sometimes you just wake up and a voice will tell you wake up Sherwin you can't trust her.

Huh?

Sherwin Hughes

What?

Yeah, that happened to me once and you know, you know, I had the urge to check the phone at three o'clock and four o'clock in the morning.

And it scarred me, you know, and I don't do it no more.

No, no, no, I would rather be scarred by the truth and live in a blissful life.

I gots to know.

I would say at least I'm glad I'm a very calm man because if I wasn't, I would have been caught a case.

I was going to tell you something else that I did one time.

Oh, you can wait till we come back.

Yeah,

Sherwin Hughes

I take a break.

I'm in that phone.

I might even look.

Don't let me get in the phone and don't let don't let me change her password tonight.

She got to ask me for her path.

No, I wouldn't do that.

That's crazy.

Sherwin, can I?

Can I use my phone?

For what?

I got to call my mama.

We'll call her.

Here, call her for my phone.

I know I'm kidding, you

guys.

I wouldn't do all that.

But you got to go to that phone.

Ladies, look at this phone.

Go ahead.

Well, you know there's such thing as secure folders, right?

Where you can just put your text messages in there and you can look through the phone all you want and they want to be able to find it.

Ain't nobody doing all that.

I'm not hiding stuff from me.

My phone out here today.

Go ahead.

Go look at it.

Get your feelings hurt here.

We can talk about it here Start a conversation about go ahead.

Who is this?

I'll tell you who it is.

Come on.

Let's check I want to see your pictures Want to see what she looked like last May.

Come on Do all the things because I don't delete pictures.

Oh, yeah.

Hell

No, I put them

Sherwin Hughes

in my secure folder That's insane to me.

So sometimes I reminisce

And I'll be thinking about x whatever and like hey, how you doing?

I'll remember when we went here and should be

why do you still have that picture?

Think about this when houses burned out.

What's one of the first things that people

used to grab photo albums?

I don't delete pictures.

Who does that?

That's not what you're supposed to do.

Pictures are a reminder.

They're a memory.

Just like you don't throw photo albums away.

Oh, I threw my baby pictures away because those are old.

No, you keep that stuff.

Those are mementos.

Those are keepsakes.

Those are heirlooms.

I don't believe pictures.

If you didn't want me to keep the picture forever, you shouldn't have sent it because I'm keeping it forever.

And guess what?

If the breakup is bad, all my friends are going to see it too.

Oh, wow.

Oh, please.

I never

Sherwin Hughes

kiss until.

Just don't be a fool.

Man, they're dumb.

Don't know no no no not dumb You just got to take whatever woman says with a grain of salt.

What's the point then?

I'd rather her just be honest like sure when I'm going out to the ladies night I'm gonna flirt with a bunch of dudes.

I'm gonna let dudes buy me a drink and if I like one I find them cute I'm gonna hang out with them I might get his telephone number and I might I might you know go on a date with him like tell me that I'm

not even gonna get mad

My girlfriend I get mad but if it's someone I'm seeing I

Girlfriends don't exist no more bro.

No, it's not it's not a thing anymore.

I guess I haven't had a girlfriend in a long time You're together when you're together when you're not you're not and also I'm

too old to be running around saying this my

girlfriend Like this is my home girl.

This is my friend.

I don't even say partner because that sounds too woke That's woke for you.

Yeah my partner That sounds gay

A partner like what in crime in business.

Yeah, you're your partner in life partner and I Don't say imagine a 50 year old woman talking about this is my boyfriend.

First of all grandma.

What are you doing?

You mean you got a boyfriend I'm that's I'm the girlfriend you ain't been a girl in 30 years today's 50 is a lot different than that 50s in the 60s and the 70s and 80s

It is but it's still half a century old and very wise and very mature or at least it should be but don't Run around here.

I'm somebody's girlfriend Listen here, Nana Come on now and other terms.

I don't like when girls call me and my girlies are going out.

You're not children

Yeah, that's just you know, it's a fun way to say they're hanging out with their friends That's infantilizing women to where they can act like children and be irresponsible and not have to be like held to account I'm just a girl.

I used to date a girl this is I'm sure when I'm just a girl.

Yeah girl say that all the time That means that I can't be responsible for what I do.

You can't trust me.

I'm just a girl.

I don't know any better

Okay, but then you want us to vote for one of you for mayor and governor?

Well, of course, but I thought you were just a girl.

Could you imagine like getting a female governor and she messes the policy up real bad or votes or does the wrong thing?

I'm just a girl.

What do you expect from me?

Governor is hard.

Too hard.

I'm just

and I will allow you to be just a girl, but then you allow me to be just a man.

And what does that entail?

No, I don't know whatever men do wouldn't men do work hard be cool dominate Get yelled at don't talk back.

I don't

know.

I

Sherwin Hughes

always talk back if I'm getting yelled at I can't help it.

You can't Even if she does something That's hurtful or damaging or threatening to the relationship if you bring it up to her she's mad at you for being mad at her

the tone in which you bring it up because there clearly is never a good tone in which you can bring up a situation where a woman is to blame for something so you just have to pretend like whatever problem it is just never happen because you're not gonna solve it no not if you have a loving open connection relationship you can express your feelings to her and she will receive them because

I love

Sherwin Hughes

them

Be careful with that too.

Well, you

Sherwin Hughes

don't want to sound too girly, but you know, just let it know like, hey, I don't like what you did there.

Fair enough.

She's got to be understanding.

It's hard to find that you get an understanding one, but also men can't be too emotional and they lie when they say, no, how come you don't open up to me and share your feelings?

Because if you do too much of that, because I don't think that women are prepared for us to emotionally unload on them because there's things that we suffer.

through and deal with his men that I don't even know if women are equipped.

And I'm not saying that the women don't have the capacity to handle it.

They just don't want to hear from their man because then they're thinking, wait a minute.

There can only be one emotional person in a relationship because she's got to reserve the right to be emotional because that can be an excuse for why she does things irrationally.

I'm a woman.

I get that right.

Well, you can express your emotions.

Just don't be a crybaby about it.

That's what women that's why women think you're just being too emotional to crybaby.

try to cry baby about it.

You just gotta be come up front, be straightforward and just express yourself.

You don't gotta be, oh, you made me feel this way.

Just say it frankly and bluntly and leave it at that.

And they will respect you for it.

When you get all whiny and going up to these type in these paragraphs about, oh, this made me feel this way and all this cry baby stuff.

Then that's when the woman loses this loses respect for you.

But if you're upfront, you know, and you're not too emotional about it.

They will respect that because that's what women want.

They want you to express your feelings, but they don't want to feel like they have to baby you I Feel like that's game right there.

I think so.

Yeah It's working for me.

So but also we're in different places in life.

Like I admire listening to Like your perspectives on things.

I think it's I think it's fantastic.

So when you get to be old like me You do not fashion

Your responses to a woman or your explanations or even how emotional you are in a way that makes her comfortable because that's gaslighting I'm gonna express myself the way I feel it and if she doesn't like that Then that's not that's not a me problem.

That's a her problem like I'm not gonna like I have to explain myself and talk about my emotions like this No, no, no, I'm explaining to her just how I feel and if I feel like I have to change my explanation or change my tone to suit her to not

Tip her off then that woman is gaslighted me and that's what's toxic if I can't express myself the way I feel it Then she ain't the woman for me and no hard feelings Just move on well.

Yeah, you

can

Sherwin Hughes

express yourself and if your feelings are crybaby Then expect to be disrespected and you know not taking it seriously and that's not for me Are you do you wine when you're expressing yourself?

It

Sherwin Hughes

depends on what it is if I'm sick.

Yep.

Oh, the sick is different

No, it ain't still wine I'm helpless when I'm saying I can't do oh, yeah, that's the best I can't I need to be carried like pick me up,

but sure when you wait 250 pounds.

Well Come on.

Let me get on your shoulders

You don't have any willy chairs around your house.

Oh really chair, you know like the little Shares with wheels.

Yes, willy chairs No, no can be carted around your house there

No, she's gonna carry me

pick up the slack

You must be dating a very strong woman if she can pick up a 250 pound man Hey, baby, I'm sick.

I need to go to the bathroom.

Let me get on your back.

Come on.

Oh, yeah, see yeah, yeah, yeah That's that's some baby activity My these says smart women will always push back and keep secrets

Linda's just going off

what

I Think we're having some real talk here and I don't know Aaron says I think there's a few accountable women in the chat I Don't if there is or if there isn't that's irrelevant.

I'm just talking about stuff.

I'm just expressing things because men are too They're afraid of their own their women

They just don't say anything and they wonder how come you don't talk to me anymore And also they'll use stuff against you in an argument like that's not fair.

That's supposed to do that You open up to somebody and they use it against you.

Oh, that's not nice.

You don't do that.

I'm being vulnerable with you lady Don't do that.

Well, you just don't want to open up the whole thing, you know, you can be vulnerable, but Be shielded I'm express because I'm used to just Telling my feelings

Because I do it for work.

Like, I don't hide nothing.

I just come out with anything and everything.

I'm not going to walk around on eggshells or tiptoes around a woman because of how she might take it.

I don't care how she takes it.

Because then I have to be mindful of, like, I might have the issue.

I have a problem.

We have a problem.

There's an issue, right?

But then I can also have this issue and have this problem and want to solve the problem, but then be sensitive of how she's going to take it, being an adult.

Because here's what's crazy.

Also, you can't tell a woman what to do unless you're her boss.

It's crazy and you can tell them what to do all the time and Start in the bedroom in a different circumstances a woman will take more direction from a boss that she hates than a man that she loves I'm gonna take a break come back talk to Alan the other side.

I know I was gonna have a lot to say Her boss, so it is yes.

Oh my god.

Yes, sir.

Oh

Hey sweetheart, can you

shut up?

Boss be like a Lucinda.

Can you can you stay late?

I'll stay all night.

Absolutely Lucinda.

Can you come in early?

I won't even go to sleep tonight.

I'll just come in at three o'clock in the morning.

I think you're scarred You just ain't been there yet, bro.

I think ignorance still is bliss for you because I've been you But now I'm me and it's not even like I love women more than I love damn or anything on planet that literally is nothing more special more beautiful

more important and actually for the benefit of men, I think that is what the space that women occupy 100%.

But I'm also mindful also know that we put them on pedestals and we give them the princess treatment because somebody somewhere along the way and maybe it was Hollywood, maybe it was the media told us that we need to do that and they take full, full advantage of it.

And that's the thing.

Sometimes I like being a sucker.

Sometimes I'm in the mood to be a sucker.

Sometimes I know I'm getting played, but like, you know what, let me just ride this out and then.

It is what it is.

Yeah, sometimes the ends justifies the means it's the part that bothers me though And then I really got to take a break It's how they can have a man that will die for them because if I'm with a woman I have to die for her if I'm in public with her and a man is messing with her or attacking her I got to kill that man or defend her right?

So I got to be willing to die for her.

She got to die for me right?

So I'm sacrificing potentially my life for her protection and her safety

And a woman will have a man like that take care of her emotionally financially everything and she can do things with no guilt and no remorse Cheat with no like won't lose a wink of sleep.

That's the part that blows my mind So even in the times when I've cheated I felt horrible.

I was like, oh my god.

Oh, yeah Oh, man, don't be silly.

Don't be ridiculous.

Everybody has if you say you have in your damn life Because the problem though is like when you cheat

You know, I caught going on a mission.

You go on your mission and when you come home for some reason, that's when she's the sweetest.

She got

dinner made for

you.

Honey, I knew that you had a long day and you've been stressed out.

I made a seven course meal.

She's wearing lingerie and heels.

I'm like,

oh, damn it.

Look how nice she is.

And you come home because you just went on a mission and you can't even because you're empty.

You know what I mean?

You're emptied your clip out in the street.

And I'm like, oh, man, this is.

Oh, that's why you got the, you know, got the blue pill for you.

The truth

with Sherwin Hughes will be right back.

Let's talk to Al.

Hello,

Sherwin Hughes

Al.

How are you today?

I'm doing good.

I hear this conversation.

I'm gonna keep it 100.

Men and women both got secrets, so y'all not gonna tell everything.

I wouldn't even tell everything.

And both men and women, y'all got believable lives.

Some of y'all would be telling these lies like y'all went through this whole ordeal, and it ain't never happened.

You just did that to get that emotional lock on them.

And then here's the thing about when some of you men cheat.

Y'all be messy.

Y'all change the routine.

Y'all come home and then kick an argument out of nowhere.

just to pick her brain.

And then the thing is, is when you cheat, and it's totally different for a woman, when you mean cheat, you will go out there, put out all your seeds, get drained, and then when you come home, you can't shoot no blanks, you can't get it up, you don't even got to see Alice paying to lift it up, you know, so that's how y'all getting y'all cover blown, and this is what you men need to understand too.

When y'all get in these relationships, why do y'all get comfortable and then you let your body go?

And I'm telling you this because I need y'all to understand.

Y'all let y'all self-go to the point that your breast been looking like a pit bull that's been breastfeeding a herd of 13.

And then you wonder why she's not trying to touch you.

And then you let yourself go so much.

then you gotta fight back to get back and be in the relationship in.

Now, a woman can let herself go, but you have to realize she got a booty, she got breasts, and a vagina, and men will ask anything to get a nut.

So what y'all men gotta do is y'all gotta stay on your game.

If you go out in them streets all night, when you come home, you gotta lay that pound town down.

Sherwin Hughes

You can't

come home.

You can't come home smelling like Motel 6 soap, and then you just want to lay there.

She know you already been out in the street.

So when you come home, you got to beat them gut-sop.

And I don't mean you go down there slipping and snapping and eating for 45 minutes.

She don't need all that.

She want the jackhammer, just like, you know, when Bob was talking earlier.

Back in the 70s and 80s, they would love him up in Sheboygan.

And now you're in Mount Michigan.

The way he's slaying them glasses down, he'd probably have about 14 kids if he was up there.

But when y'all come home, you want to go to sleep.

Y'all want to act like y'all going through all this stuff.

And don't get it twisted.

Women have their way of doing their stuff too.

But they stuff usually come out when their relationship ends and all that stuff.

Because see, the other player, he going to get upset because...

She then gave them scoops next to somebody else, and her stuff always come out in the end.

But when y'all do y'all stuff, you change the routine, y'all kick off all these unnecessary arguments, and then y'all get y'all stuff busted up.

That's why these dudes walking around here with the little window on the car busted out, and the windshield, y'all not laying it down like y'all supposed to.

But y'all gotta stop letting your body go when you get in these relationships.

You ever heard that old wife saying, nobody wants you but me?

Because she knows she didn't got you fat.

She didn't got you out of shape.

Now your breasts are hanging down to your waist.

And you know, don't know a woman want to mess with no man who got a kangaroo pouch when she got a dig on the inside, the pool, the wee wee out.

Stop getting too comfortable because you get too comfortable.

Then you're going to feel like, hey, I'm fat, funky, and musty.

Well, I'm fat because she the only one who want me.

And she be like, yeah.

I got this email for right where I want to smack and do what I want.

But if you stay on top of your game and you treat her right, she'll be afraid to do something.

And then if y'all going to go out on the street and do whatever you do, take care of home.

Make sure the bills is paid.

If you get another woman pregnant, buy her a brand new car because you're going to have hell to pay anyway when it comes out.

So why don't you just do it right from the gate and everybody can be happy.

Have a good day and make sure you stay up on your pH balance and don't bring home No diseases and she'll be straight.

Have a good day.

Bye.

Sherwin Hughes

Bye

That should be a PSA instead of telling the parents to put the kid in car seat.

That's a good PSA.

He just He just gave us that was a great public service announcement and announcement for the service of the public

So she'll have a guy that She has a lot of fun with They'll go out and do adventurous things Then there's a guy she can call for money Then of course there's the intellectual guy and maybe the guy that makes her laugh so you as One person are competing

With all of those men and as long as she has quote-unquote male friends You can't tell her she can't hang out with her male friends because she's known them longer than you I'm just gonna go hang out with my male friend I'm that male friend And I'm actually the friend sure and also any woman that you know also has several men that meet many different needs because it's hard for one man to meet to meet all of the needs

That's whatever it's totally fine.

That's we get it.

Well, it's kind of like

guys do the same

Sherwin Hughes

thing I have many women for many different things.

There's also

Sherwin Hughes

And this one's important There's a man that's always gonna be in her life Always talking about her daddy and her brother always She's not letting go no matter what gonna be their favor

You might have met him he might like you and the two of them when they get together Oh, they talk about you.

You're never getting rid of him He has been in her life through two marriages for kids Boyfriends through abuse through when she was almost homeless He was there when she got into it with her mama and her sister.

He's going Nowhere you got to be okay with that

Take a break come back I'm gonna get ready for the lunch break shortly.

It's good to talk about other things other than all this politics stuff Y'all don't care

about

politics.

No way.

I Love talking about this relationship stuff.

It's really fun Yeah, men need to give our perspectives men be scared married men are afraid of they can't say nothing You can't as a married man You got to get away from your wife and your family if you actually want to be free and you want to talk you can't say nothing

Can you say nothing?

Sounds toxic.

Stop using the damn word toxic.

Everything ain't damn toxic.

Everything is not toxic.

Oh my God, everything is trauma and everything.

No, it's not.

Yeah, I will say women nowadays, they always talk about how they have some kind of trauma.

Go get it fixed.

They get triggered.

That ain't my problem.

You get triggered.

Here's the thing.

Some people are allergic to peanuts.

I'm not going to stop eating peanuts.

I love me peanuts.

No, no, I'm allergic to peanut.

Didn't go to the peanut free zone.

It's nuts over here.

When's the last time you had a Mandela?

Talk to Mike.

Hey, Mike, how are you?

We can barely hear you, Mike.

Let's fix that.

Okay.

Can you hear me now?

Much better, Mike.

Thank you.

Yes.

I got a question.

I know David Crowley's running for governor.

Now, I just want to know, like, how can he be a governor if he didn't run Milwaukee County right?

He did not run Milwaukee County right.

He did nothing for us.

So why should I vote for somebody who just because they black?

That doesn't mean I'm clicking at what his history is.

Milwaukee, I live in Milwaukee.

It's a rough town.

I ain't seen that man walk through the neighborhood.

I ain't seen him try to do anything for the black or anybody.

But now that he's running, everybody want to just go to my office because he's black.

I just want to know what is he going to do to help the black community?

I see poor people, homeless people.

I see a lot of people.

I just see a lot of things going on that he could have stepped in and tried to make a difference.

But it's like he dropped, you know, the ball to go try to kind of somebody own, you know, big to be a governor.

But how could he cover it if he couldn't even flip his own backyard, which is Milwaukee County?

Sherwin Hughes

Don't vote.

OK, thank you.

You're welcome.

Yeah, don't don't vote.

We're just going to leave that right there.

Just don't like what is what is David Crowley, who is a county executive of a million person county?

with 19 different municipalities, 19 different mayors, there's 19 different council, like what is he supposed to do for black people?

What do black people expect elected officials to do?

Come wipe our asses for us?

Come clean our houses?

Like what?

No, I'm being realistic.

If we're not doing much for ourselves, like what are we supposed to do?

And also, I would ask someone like Mike, because there's many like him, what are you doing?

You very well may have more influence over your community or at least over your household than the county executive.

Well, he's supposed to walk through the neighborhood.

We're supposed to do.

Pick your garbage up.

He executes county government.

Probably 20 different departments.

What do black people expect?

And if you think that by voting for someone, they're all of a sudden going to do a whole bunch of stuff for us.

That's insane.

I'd rather you not vote.

Just don't even trouble yourself with it, because we know we're not going to get 100% voter participation.

And if you have the attitude, well, if I vote for somebody, they have to do a whole bunch of stuff for black people.

You know, there's white people and Asian people.

What if they all said that?

What if a Mexican called and said, what are you going to do for us?

What are you going to do to stop ICE and immigration?

Nothing.

Not anything.

Can't do a damn thing.

That's insane to me.

That's basically saying you don't know anything about how the political system works.

You don't participate.

You probably don't know who your elected officials are.

But to think that, like, that's insane to me.

The vast majority of the work of improving our community has got to come from us now We think that we can outsource that we might as well be slaves might as well That's just crazy What can you even do do you think you parents can't even control their kids What power does a single elected official have over somebody else's child and the behavior of kids

And how can an elected official stop you from wanting to shoot somebody?

Well, the county executive said that we should not be shooting anybody.

So you think people are going to listen to him?

It's crazy because, like, we'll blame somebody for not fixing us, for not helping us.

You're not doing enough for us.

But if they tell us what to do, we won't listen.

Tell them to mind their own business.

Stay in your lane.

We're so duplicitous.

And so what I'm going to say to those people, yeah, just stay home.

Don't don't even trouble you don't even bother registers if you think that somebody who's black is supposed to do a whole bunch of things for black people Ask your pastor.

What's your pastor doing for it?

Maybe the pastor can Do stuff for you let's talk to Gary hello Gary, how are you?

Hey good sure.

How are you now?

I just want to rebut what with this guy Mike Connor said and I'm my question is what is Tiffany gonna do?

All

Sherwin Hughes

right, yeah, I don't know what he's gonna do I Just get tired of hearing the question Gary.

What is he doing for us?

It's like if there's garbage on the ground in the black community That's an elected officials for well.

He didn't come and clean up the garbage who put the garbage there.

Well, I did of course All right, thank you Gary for your

call

Sherwin Hughes

Do we have to have a civics one-on-one lesson like I give those way too often I like to think that I'm talking to folks that actually have an idea of how this thing works voting for somebody is not automatically going to change your life especially if you've screwed your entire life up voting for someone means that you just elected someone but your life is still screwed up but also do we want a person or an office or an office holder to have that much control over our lives the only thing that we can ask that they do is provide opportunities and policies that make

that make it easy for us to realize our full potential to make sure that there is value in our work and that things are much more fair and equitable.

That's the only thing that we can ask any of them to do.

But if your life is screwed up because you made a bunch of bad decisions, electing somebody is not going to fix that.

What do we learn today?

We learned that you got to be careful when you expose your vulnerabilities to your partner.

We also learned that Xavier cheats.

I'd never oh

shut

up never never never one

time never one time you never little dabbling

nope well I gotta go get ready for the lunch break goodbye
