I Love Food

Welcome

to our three of the truth with Sherwin Hughes.

We are talking about these hidden dangers that lurk deep within the restaurant and service industry.

Some of these things are un- and under-reported, talking about foodborne illnesses and outbreaks.

What is it?

Norovirus?

That's one of them.

Bacterial infections in salmonella.

A lot of these things come from restaurants and also be careful of E coli.

That's the bad one.

Whenever I hear there's an E coli outbreak at a particular restaurant and it could be, you know, at a Chipotle in Cleveland, Ohio.

I'm not going to eat Chipotle in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

I just air on the side of caution.

And also.

It's really tough to pin down and identify where your food poisoning came from because most people eat several times a day and it's a combination of food that they have prepared or

that

someone else prepared or a restaurant, a quick service restaurant, fast food restaurant that they may have gone to.

The symptoms sometimes of some of these foodborne illnesses and these different types of food poisons you can get may not be evident for 48 72 or 96 hours and how on earth can you pin down what you have eaten?

in the last 96 hours to determine the source of your foodborne illness.

Now, here's the good news.

Most of the time they pass on their own.

You're probably uncomfortable for a little while.

Maybe you can take some over-the-counter medications or you just rest for a little bit and these things tend to pass quickly without any major complication.

But if you have a compromised immune system and you have other health issues going on, that's when you get hospitalized.

And when you have a number of people, especially in the same area, the same city,

that are all hospitalized, then they've got to figure, okay, where did all of these people, these 30 people that all have the same foodborne illness symptoms?

Where did they all eat?

I'll be honest with y'all, I don't know what I ate yesterday.

And I damn sure don't know what I ate on Tuesday.

Did I eat on Tuesday?

I have no idea.

What did I eat yesterday?

Oh, I had a tuna salad.

And some vegetable egg rolls.

That was yesterday.

And oh, and I had some watermelon.

I eat a watermelon a week.

That is extremely black of me.

I love

it.

I love, I love, I like the juice.

And it's very good for you.

Watermelon has got all the vitamins and the nutrients and the magnesiums and the potassiums and the electrolytes.

And it's like 90% water and you gotta get hydrated.

I love the watermelon so very much.

Even during the winter?

No, because it's out of season.

It's foul.

Um, so my wintertime fruits, I eat a lot of apples and oranges.

Those I eat those in the winter.

So you got to get your vitamin C and I like a good crisp.

I like a good apple.

I am partial to the honey crisp.

That is a fine apple.

It really is.

I mean, sometimes I can get down and dirty with a red delicious or with a Macintosh.

You know little Macintosh Apple that's when I feel like a little dirty little whore and I eat Macintosh I would have taken you for a green apple kind of guy Not as nutritious The deeper the darker the red the apple the more nutrients it has it's got a a particular nutrient in the skin called pectin

The skin is you got to eat the skin of the apple some people peel their apples.

What kind of aliens are you?

Nobody peels an apple.

I like the skin of an apple.

It's good fiber is very good for your digestive systems Xavier, I don't think you eat fruit.

Yeah, I do you do I Have a smoothie dinner every morning.

That ain't

Well,

I

know damn fruit man.

I'm putting fresh fruits in there myself

You don't just go get some apples and eat an orange or eat a pear No, I'm more of a pineapple banana kind of guy tropical fruits.

Okay.

What about a mango?

You like a mango mangoes are fine.

What a papaya I Haven't had too many of those Okay Like pears You know what my absolute favorite fruit is Absolute and the best ones are a Costco and so I need someone to go to Costco

Get them for me cuz I'll be damned if I pay a membership and a cover charge to go and spend money at a Costco I don't understand it.

So if I go to a Costco, and I'm not a member What do they do shoot me taze me put those plastic cuffs on me?

So if I walk into a Costco, do they like they don't let you check out?

They'll let you in let you shop You're kidding.

Yeah, you're not a member That's fine.

I don't like that

Got great deals there.

Yeah, I know but they also have my favorite fruit

My

favorite is other than watermelon the Asian pear

Damn them Asians

can genetically engineer a pear.

They got a lot of good engineered fruits over there.

They

sure

do especially in Japan All these people are freaking out because there's no

There aren't really seeds like most of the watermelons that I buy are seedless every now and again I'll get one with seeds and watermelon seeds are perfectly healthy in fact they've got a Very particular kind of unique fat in the watermelon seeds that are very very healthy.

You just don't chew them.

You just little days they go right down They're actually very healthy, but most of the watermelon that I buy

Don't have seeds in them and now you have people freaking out.

There's no seeds in our food That means that we can't grow our food anymore.

I heard them talking about that on on the lunch break Oh all these seedless fruits You want to know why we have seedless fruits because people want fruit with no seeds number one number two You're not gonna plant a damn seed from your orange.

You just ate stop it.

Oh No, there's no seeds.

That means we can't grow our own food

You aren't going to grow your own food anyway.

Y'all can't even keep a ficus alive.

They probably don't even know how to germinate the seed

anyway.

They're trying to make it so that we can't.

But it growing a damn pineapple in Wisconsin.

Stop it.

But sure.

I want to grow my own strawberries.

I want a strawberry patch.

Relax, everybody.

Intentional restaurant poisoning happens.

I want you guys to just brace yourself for this.

Perhaps the cleanest modern federal example occurred at Miranchito Restaurant in Lenexa, Kansas.

A waitress admitted deliberately adding

A methomo-based pesticide to restaurant salsa on not one, but two occasions.

12 customers became sick.

The second incident, 36 customers got sick.

Victims included children and elderly customers.

Some were transported to hospitals.

The employee pleaded guilty to conspiracy to tamper with a consumer product and eventually received 87 months in federal prison.

This is not an allegation.

This is a federal criminal conviction.

Let me just give you all a word of advice because I think you need to hear.

It doesn't mean you're going to follow it, but listen to me real good.

Do not be disrespectful to the people that are bringing you your food.

I know that you feel like you can talk to them any old kind of way and I know that you're hungry and yes we know you have money that's why you're in the restaurant but do not treat the people.

that are bringing you your food like they are less than human you show them a level of dignity and respect and here's the other thing a lot of times not their fault they may have a whole bunch of tables maybe somebody called in sick and somebody is they're down a person or two in the kitchen you gotta have some patience i know it's very frustrating because you're hungry and here's what's crazy you're not starving to death you're not you're gonna live your food comes out 10 or 15 minutes a little bit later

I have seen how some diners are so rude, so mean, so disrespectful to the folks bringing you your food.

Do you know that there's a whole period of time where you don't see your food when somebody is preparing it and then somebody has to go get it and somebody is bringing it to you?

And if you're harassing that person and being mean and nasty to that person, and here's the other kicker, you probably ain't going to tip because you're thinking, oh, my food took too long, maybe it was cold when it came out, whatever your complaints are, I'm not going to tip.

Well, a lot of servers know that.

They see a non-tipper coming a mile away and then some of y'all have the audacity to be mean and Nasty to them.

Let me strongly advise against that because there are ways in which they can get revenge and I don't want to share the details with you on air I'm just saying you need to be respectful of those people now if there's a legitimate complaint with the food and the quality of the food There's a way in which you do that

beating up on a $2.33 an hour employee likely is not going to rectify the issue.

Here's what you do.

You'll tell the server.

And very objectionable language.

Hey, not really satisfied with my food.

Please tell the server before you eat at all.

We'll eat the whole plate of food, including the garnish.

Somebody I'll take a bite out of the plate.

I didn't like my food.

It was cold, but ma'am or sir, there's nothing left.

In fact, you've eaten the silverware.

Well, I was hungry, but I didn't like it.

That's why they'll come back and check on you.

How's everything tasting so far?

You should know if there's an issue with your food.

By the time they come back and you just say, hey.

I'm a little dissatisfied with this.

Can you sometimes don't handle it for you right there?

Or you can say, Hey, can I speak to the manager?

But you let the server know it ain't them.

They didn't make the damn food.

They brought you the food.

Managers are so accommodating more often than not assuming you're not a jerk.

Some of y'all are jerks.

Don't you dare go to any restaurant that I recommend and act like a jerk?

Cause here's what y'all do.

You go to the restaurant, you act like a jerk and you say, share with us.

Don't be to come here.

Yeah, sure one is my friend.

I ain't never met some y'all a damn day in my life You over here dropping my name like you gonna get a free dessert thing about that is sometimes people do get a damn free dessert when they drop my name y'all got to stop doing that.

Oh Sure when you oh,

here's a cheesecake for you

They don't give me free dessert Really I get other perks and benefits depends on a restaurant

You get top-notch service my service is good.

Yes I'm not often charged for everything that I ordered, but that's a trick though, too.

I know what that trick is I Went to one of my favorite restaurants.

You know how you brace yourself for the bill?

because I went there I Did happy hour with a friend and then this is a restaurant that I will

Routinely go to by myself because I know somebody who's working or I'll know a server the manager or somebody who's bartending So I just go you know chill out.

I think the Brewers game was on Tuesdays last Friday So I'm in the spot and I'm gonna order beverage.

Let me give me a little appetizer Then I had to order me a Caesar salad with anchovies always get your Caesar salad with anchovies top notch

Then I got me another little beverage and then my guy called me.

He was like, Hey man, where you at?

I was like, I met the so-and-so spot.

He was

like, I'm coming.

I'm coming to eat too.

So then I waited on him and then while he was on his way, I got me a piece of cheesecake.

I'm not going to tell you the name of this restaurant, but I will tell you this.

They have better cheesecake than the cheesecake factory.

And the cheesecake factory has the word cheesecake in their name.

My favorite cheesecake from the cheesecake factory.

There's one and I don't even know what second place would be Maybe the carrot cake cheesecake might be a second place to this one but unequivocally first place the best cheesecake on planet Earth It's called the celebration cheesecake and that whole is mixed with a cheesecake layer birthday cake cheesecake birthday cake cheesecake birthday cake with birthday cake frosting on the top and a couple little sprinkles I'll punch you in the face for a piece of that

I'll spend the night in jail for a piece of the celebration cheese cake.

It's so good.

Is it new?

No, it's been on the menu for a long time.

That is like a take your shirt off and pants.

I'll eat that cheese cake naked.

Oh, no.

A little bit of the extra whipped cream.

It just fell off my fork and eyes on my chest.

Oh, no.

Whatever am I gonna do it's gonna come It's gonna come get this as a whipped cream off of my chest It's not gonna get itself on my chest.

Are you talking to the server in this scenario?

I'm talking to whoever's listening.

Oh, I'm just gonna let me sit here with a little whip cream on my nipple What what a tragedy

No, I'm just saying the cheesecake is really good.

What is wrong with me?

I don't know.

It's delicious though.

It's not very good.

It's my favorite.

But this restaurant I was at, they have, but it's just, it's plain cheesecake with strawberries and whipped cream on the side.

It's very good.

So anyways, I ordered all my food, had a few drinks, and then when I got my bill,

It was like 40 bucks which come on So you know what that means though?

What the hell's wrong with my phone?

I got a tip extra heavy which it all makes sense though, right?

If they don't charge you for everything Then you just make it up by tipping the server a little extra money The most extraordinary American restaurant contamination case affected 751 people in 1984 members of the

Range, am I saying this right?

Raj Nishi Raj Nishi commune deliberately contaminated salad bars at restaurants in Oregon with Salmonella 751 people develop Salimelinosus Salmonellosis 10 restaurants were associated with the case the subsequent criminal investigation established that

The salad bars had been deliberately contaminated.

A bacterial strain recovered from the commune's laboratory was indistinguishable from the restaurant or from the outbreak strain.

Rather, it remains one of the clearest demonstrations of how vulnerable open restaurant food can be to malicious contamination.

The threat is taken seriously enough that the Food and Drug Administration maintains an entire food defense program.

specifically concerned with protecting food against intentional adulteration and tampering.

You know, when you think about it, like those buffets and salad bars are particularly vulnerable.

There's not as many of them post-COVID as there was pre-COVID, but there's still quite a few Chinese buffets.

When's the last time you've been through one of those?

Very long time, but I like a buffet.

I do.

I can't even lie to you.

Like I like just charge me one fixed dollar amount Including probably nine dollars for a beverage.

That's fine.

And you mean to tell me that I can go up as many times as I like You mean to tell me that I can just get a plate of food Then get another one and then wait talk a little bit Have another drink most soda.

Oh, I think I'm hungry again

Then go get a whole new plate of food and you mean that you're gonna refresh the food every I don't know seven eight ten minutes And you might even bring out a new item.

Oh, what is that baked chicken?

Don't mind if I do This macaroni looks fresh.

I Like a

buffet,

but you know, it's not good for you.

You're not supposed to overeat Don't eat a lot of food because it's not good for you and it makes you have man boobs or lady boobs or back fat

But I like a nice buffet.

In fact, I grew up on a buffet.

It was one of the more popular restaurants in the Milwaukee area, and it was the old country variety.

Y'all remember OCB's?

Old country buffet, where they cut that, they had that ham.

Yeah, I like two slices of that ham.

Oh, two slices it is.

Sir, how are you doing today?

And he was wearing a chef's hat, and then they'd have the roast beef.

Like a thicker cut of roast beef haha for you absolutely my boy and he'd be cutting that roast beef and they'd they'd lay it on your plate So gently They just they would they would drape it across the plate and then you would walk back To your table with a nice freshly cut draped piece of roast beef But one of the best things about old-country buffet because I was a young kid when we would go to old-country buffet because they used to have one in brown deer It was a soft serve ice cream

Don't you give a kid all you can eat soft serve ice cream the truth with Sherwin Hughes will be right back

All right, let's get back to these.

Troubling, troubling statistics.

details that lurk in the restaurant industry.

And sometimes these things are unreported and underreported food, born illnesses, sick employees, intentional contamination of food.

Sometimes it's Salmonella.

Sometimes it's E. Coli.

E. Coli happens to be a particular bacteria and now it's common.

In fact, all of us.

Have the E coli But it's inside of our guts That's where it's supposed to be E coli is not supposed to be on the outside of your guts.

You know where E coli comes from?

Somebody didn't wash their hands and it was touching all upon your food.

You don't want that one, buddy You don't want the E coli so if I hear there's an E coli outbreak I might just very well boycott that restaurant Hey, what am I supposed to do?

Other than leave When I see a restaurant employee in the bathroom not washing their hands do I call who do I call the police?

The sheriff Tori low like who do I?

Because it says in the bathroom all employees must wash their hands state law Thanks for your help in the matter sexual harassment

in restaurants is an unusually serious issue.

This is probably one of the most insidious issues that exists in restaurants and bars today.

A widely cited Restaurant Opportunity Center United Studies surveyed 688 current and former restaurant employees in 39 U.S.

states.

Among female restaurant workers surveyed.

Brace yourself for this.

66% of female restaurant workers reported sexual harassment from managers.

80% reported harassment from coworkers.

And 78% reported harassment from customers.

What are you guys?

What are you doing?

30% reported inappropriate touching as common.

There are limitations.

This was an advocacy organization survey, not a probability sample of every single restaurant employee, but independent federal evidence establishes that restaurant sexual harassment is a genuine problem.

Let me go over these numbers again, because this is astonishing.

Among female restaurant workers surveyed, 66% reported sexual harassment from managers, 80% reported harassment from coworkers, and 78% reported harassment from customers.

Testimony presented to the EEOC reported that although about 7% of American women worked in restaurants and analysis of EEOC data,

found nearly 37% of sexual harassment charges came from women in the restaurant industry.

Are you, are men extra horny in the restaurant industry?

Ladies, those of you that care to talk about this in the YouTube chat, have you, have you been sexually harassed while bringing somebody their tacos?

Cause I guess when you think about it.

First of all, I don't know how they carry those gigantic trays of food and some restaurants have stairs And they got these big old trays of food and you can't spill it because that sucks And so when you're thinking about this if you're holding a big tray of food and it takes two hands, right?

Let's say Sherwin is carrying two trays of food because Sherwin is a waiter I'm a server and I'd be a damn good server.

No, I would never do it, but I'd be a damn good one, okay?

and let's say I got my hands full and I'm carrying I got a steak right here and I got some chicken fajitas right here and a little kid a little fat kid ordered a grilled cheese and then two people got soup and I have it all on one tray and it's a big tray

And then I got to use both of my hands.

So while I'm carrying this gigantic tray of food with the chicken fajitas and the steak and the fat kids grilled cheese and the soups, you could grab all on my kibbles and bits and I can't defend myself because I'm holding the tray of food.

And while I'm holding the tray of food, somebody's rubbing all up on my butt cheeks.

I'm like, hey, stop rubbing my butt cheeks.

I can't shoot your hand away because I'm carrying a tray of food with the steak and a fat kids grilled cheese and then three soups.

And they're just, I'm just getting fondled.

This is another reason why we'll not go skydiving First of all, it's overrated and most people Will tell you how incredibly terrified they are and it's not as fun as people Make it seem to be but here's the problem that I have with skydiving and some tell me it's an irrational fear if you tell me this fear is irrational then you're a pervert When you go skydiving for the first time you go as a tandem

Okay.

There's another human being strapped to your back.

Okay.

Now while you're in the air, you're helpless and there's a person literally mounted to you doggy style while you're flying through the air.

When you think about it, they could totally have

They're way with you while in the air.

Now, obviously, you'll get to the ground and you'll call the police or you'll handle the situation.

But while we're jumping out of that plane, you got 10,000 feet of ass that you can get from me.

I'm not with that.

Don't look at me like that, Xavier.

Yeah, you're completely irrational.

I'm not going to take the chance.

You think

someone's going

to pull it out?

I can feel his beard on the back of my neck and there's nothing I can do because he'll be whispering in my ear and his breath is probably very hot.

Sherwin, you better let me do this or I'm not pulling the parachute.

Oh, no.

And you've given this considerable thought.

Absolutely.

Whenever I see two people jumping out of an airplane, a man strapped to another man's back and a man who the parachute person or the tandem person, the experienced parachute person or skydiver that strapped to the back, they're always very, very burly

and

hairy.

What if it's a woman?

They got a beard like Zach.

It's never a woman.

I've seen plenty of women instructors.

I don't think you would be a woman.

If there's a woman, I'll be sure to her back.

We'll do it the right way.

Well, then how you don't know how to pull the thing.

You have

too many damn questions.

This is something that's irrational because you know, it's not like you get to pick the person, the skydiver that's on your back when you get to the skydiving Academy.

All right, everybody, glad you guys came and go go through a couple of safety protocols.

All right, Sherwin, here you go.

Here's your skydive partner.

Dexter.

Hi Sherwin.

Dexter, don't worry.

You're going to be in good hands.

I wouldn't go up into playing with Dexter.

I think

you're

kind of the pervert here because I want to protect my sanctity because I want to.

Protect my little puckered flower.

You think that I'm the pervert.

I'm over here looking out for my safety I'm over here going through all these terrible things that happen in a restaurant industry What I need to do is a deep dive on how much sexual harassment happens between 10,000 feet on the ground Ain't no you ain't no way.

No, I see you looking you smiling over there.

I think I'm in a good state I think I bet you'd like that you've been Scott Ivan before Xavier.

No, I don't do things that I can die from Exactly

That's another reason why I don't need to jump out of a plane.

That's white

people stuff.

Yeah, that's not that's the only reason I need I don't need to worry about some instructor fondling my booty Because they're strapped to you and you're vulnerable Because imagine if that you feel their beard on your back.

Oh, that would creep me out

No, no, no, don't don't fight it's true.

Yeah, what if you end up liking it?

You're like, oh, I kind of like the really beard on my back

Strong hands gripping around my chest You know, I'd like to think by the age of 51 if that was something that I was into I probably know by now I'm just gonna go ahead and just say after a century and a half a century rather and a year on earth Not only do I not want a man's beard on my back or on the back of my neck I don't even want to be near a woman with hairy legs

You

have a woman

scratch you like you laying in the bed.

You like what what what grizzly bears in here?

I didn't shave cuz it's winter time woman Do you know that winter is five months long?

Well, I don't need to shave in the winter time.

Yes, you do and that's when I get up out of bed Sherwin.

Where are you going to get the weed wacker?

Oh, you've never been scratched by a little stubble, you know, yeah, I don't like it Supposed to be hairless from the eyebrows down if you ask me hairless from the eyebrows down

Do I need to repeat that?

That's very us a simple proposition.

Yeah, you know

who I heard that from I heard that from a woman She's like oh sure one from my eyebrows down.

There's nothing Thank you for sharing that with no fun.

We didn't mean no fun That is fun.

Well, I can get a little graphic, but I'm not please don't because your level of graphic is Look Zach will he'll cut us off.

Yeah, he'll hit the dump

back with

baddest bow.

We'll sit here for three hours abroad with no sound

Nothing but bumper music and PSAs the truth with Sherwin Hughes will be right back

The truth with Sherwin Hughes returns after this on 1017 the truth the truth app and 1017 the truth comm You are listening to the truth with Sherwin Hughes on 1017 the truth the truth app and 1017 the truth comm

Welcome back to the program.

I'm not going skydiving.

I'm not even going to... I probably shouldn't tell.

The person might be listening.

There's a float room.

You guys know what these float things are?

It's total sensory deprivation.

Yeah, I've done it a lot of times.

It's one of my favorite things to do.

Somebody got me a coupon.

They got one on...

It's a walker's point.

It's like

on South

First.

Yeah, it's right next to Float

Milwaukee.

Float MK.

Yeah,

it's right next to a purple door.

Now, your first experience is going to be weird.

Exactly.

So you're going to have to do it two, three more times to actually get into it because the first time you're going to be, it's going to be weird.

You're going to be make sure you don't have any fresh cuts or anything like that as well because you're literally falling in saltwater.

Yeah.

And you get naked.

You get naked.

Yeah, you

get naked.

See, that's why it's you get naked and it's completely pitch black.

Right.

No, you can have those you can you can have a piece you can have it be completely pitch black or if you're afraid of the dark you have like a little dim light come on It's all and you even have to have the clothes you can have the thing open as well It's sensory deprivation for like 30 minutes 40 however long the session is right our so someone thought that I'm kind of offended but she's like sure when you need to relax like what you mean I need to relax She's like I got you a float

I was like, oh, root beer.

She's like, no, fat boy.

A float MKE float session.

She's like, I got you all set up.

You it's all paid for.

Call the people.

Pick a time you're available and then go.

You need to do a float.

And I didn't I heard of it, but I didn't really know what it was.

And it sounded weird.

And I never used it.

It's weird at first.

But like I said, towards the last 30 minutes of it, you get used to it.

And then the next time you do it, you'll know, you know, you'll know what it's like going in and it'll be better than your third time will be really excellent.

And then your first time will be really good.

And you might even hallucinate.

Okay, a couple of things.

I don't want to do something that is going to take me a while to start to like it.

If I'm going to go and do something because I'm very specific and intentional with my time, I need to do stuff because I like to do stuff.

You know what I mean?

Like, I don't want to do something.

Oh, maybe after a half hour, I might decide I like this.

What if I don't like it?

So I just never went.

But I think I still have.

You should do it because I never use my coupon.

I ain't going.

I ain't going and getting in that damn.

You might like it from the get go.

You honestly, when you're done with it, you do feel refreshed.

The first time, the second time, the third time, the fourth time.

Oh, she goes regularly.

She's also weird.

Yeah.

I bet she's very

calm.

Uh, eerily calm.

But I'm also somewhat afraid of her.

Look at me.

I'm very calm.

I do it all the time.

That's another reason you and her would get along.

Craziest person I've ever met in my entire life, by far.

And guess what she does for a living?

She's a psychiatrist.

Yeah, most of them.

Most psychiatrists are crazy.

Like net like otherworldly, another planet nuts.

Because when you deal with patients, she prescribes medication.

I'm like, you try some of that stuff,

don't you?

She's like, I'll never admit to that.

I'm like, how are you going to prescribe all this medication?

You don't be trying it sometimes.

I'll

never admit to that.

But yeah, she's, yeah, most of those people that go into that field, they have very traumatic pasts.

She taught me how to use AI.

So Ben Jammon was the first person that actually showed me chat GPT three years ago.

And when he showed it to me, it made no sense to me.

She came over to my house one day.

She was like, I'm gonna show you how to write prompts I'm like what she was like no watch this and she was able to really smart lady, but just Frighteningly weird would never date her.

She's just real cool person and she's too tall She's tall she's I don't and I'm not short And she wears heels too, so I don't like being a short fella.

I'm not cool with that.

I'll tell you sure 511 really the hell you mean really

But it's cuz you and Zach a 613 I would thought you're about like five nine five nine.

Yeah Five nine racist.

No, I swear the one time that I was standing up right there.

Yeah, even at the Even when I filmed at the little board thing, I don't know the AI thing I was standing right next to

you

be wearing heels.

No,

I'm

shoes.

He bought a solid five nine.

I'll give you five ten on a good day

I'm taller than that.

Thank you very much.

Let's talk

to Al.

Hi, Al.

Yo.

Well, yeah, that's what I'm gonna go kind of fast.

First of all, with people shooting and killing each other, ain't nothing you can do about that.

Just let them shoot and kill each other.

Number two, a lot of times with those thicknesses when they in that bathroom, they be touching all on that dookie

box.

Oh, God.

And they ate.

And they ain't letting that soap in that water hit that hand for about 20 seconds.

And so you got to grind that soap together.

No cold water, no warm water.

It got to be hot because you got to get that dookie smell from that dookie box off of there.

And you can always tell when they took a good dookie because their clothes is real neat.

You know what I mean?

So with all that being said, you just have to pay attention to who touched the food.

And then I was going to say, Mr. Hughes, don't put too much thought into the skydiving or if somebody is too tall, because sometimes you can sink the ship even before it left the sailboat.

You know what I mean?

Sometimes just go into it.

So you know the first and second time is not always going to be the best.

It's just like you test driving a car.

You got to test drive it once or twice to really work all the bar joints and, you know, loosen up the bar joints and touching all over the motor and making sure everything's in the right place and everything is functioning.

So usually around the second or third time, you will really be able to enjoy.

It's just like relationships.

or you fornicate with somebody.

You fornicate and then you know the next day your anatomy is itching and you think you got chlamydia or gondaria and you go to the doctor and the doctor is just telling you that the pH balance and the blood type is not matching with yours.

But on the second and third time, then the body will get comfortable, then you can start enjoying it.

So just go into it.

You know, but don't put too much thought into it because you might get a woman that's real tall and she might be like seven I want to eat your ass and touch on your G spot.

Are you gonna tell her no?

That was awesome.

So all I'm saying is don't put too much thought into it.

Because people who put too much thought into it, they always miss out on the end.

And then somebody else come in and just go right in.

And then they end up messing up all of the circuitry.

And then you be thinking, you did something, they didn't already, they came through and moonwalked it, tapped it, served it, rammed it, pounded it.

And now you didn't lost out on the experience.

So don't put too much thought into it.

Just do it and get done and just take a shot.

and drink a glass of cherry juice to level up your pH balance.

Because you might go out in the street some days and go out there so hard you might be trying to catch a disease.

You feel me?

I

feel you.

And sometimes you might be like, I'm not going to go too deep in the mouth because if I go too deep in the mouth, I might get gunderia or chlamydia in my vessel.

And you don't want your vessel to spit and fire.

You feel me?

Yep.

Because if it come out, because if it come out cloudy, it's an infection.

It's supposed to be white and thick.

If it's dark and it's cloudy, something is going on in that vessel.

So you might have to drink some vinegar, drink that vinegar straight or something like that.

But keep you some, you got to keep you some pills on the sideline too, because everybody you talk to and clean and everybody don't know about the insides.

and the mouth is the dirtiest part of the body.

It's not their coochie and it's not their ass.

Have a great day.

Bye-bye.

That was my favorite call.

That was literally my favorite call I've ever had on this show.

I'm gonna say something that hardly anybody has ever heard me say.

I just lost my appetite.

You did?

Yeah, I was hungry up until that call.

Man.

No, I'm

good.

I don't need to eat until Saturday.

I'm not.

I was probably a really funny guy to have a drink with.

We've had drinks without before on a number of occasions He's just a very normal like a calm dude in person.

He's just very I Want to go home.

Did you learn anything from that?

I want to go home Well, we look out, you know one more day left one more segment and

I

gotta hold another day of this.

Yeah I Don't want to be here

right

now.

I gotta take a commercial break

The truth with

Sherwin Hughes will be right back.

I mean, what other song do you play after that?

You know, Al gives some great advice.

I took his, you know, Blackman Viagra's advice.

You know, it really worked.

Good.

I think he means well.

He does call to legitimately help people and give sound dating and mating advice and just...

Good general advice even has his political opinions as well, which are very strong He's not a fan of affordable subsidized housing he also makes it clear that Certain elected officials are not meeting the mark and providing the best constituent services.

No, he's a very honest guy Shout outs of Vanessa

I realized that when I put my bonnet on, because, you know, certain telephone calls require me to wear a bonnet.

I sit in this window at the 3rd Street Market Hall and right outside of the window, there are tables in which diners can enjoy their lunch.

And there was this red-haired white girl who was sitting at this table right in the corner.

Oh

She

passed the test she's gone now.

I think I scared her away with the bonnet But then I looked up and I just saw her just her eyes were just staring at me Can we just say nothing's better than a hot redhead?

You ever had one yes different story.

Oh, yeah, I've had

many different story their whole another Type of human especially if the carpet matches the drapes

Thus the redhead yes, red wigs don't count Hey deceiving nobody with that red weave that's unbelievable why you would think Can't believe you would do something like that believe you me Yeah, I'm not talking about like the sexy red ton of red

I'm

talking about the you know the actual red kind of hair, you know She's too much sexy red.

Yeah.

Oh,

that's not my kind of woman, but

She does seem kind of freaky so maybe she is.

There's.

You can get out freaked.

Then wrong with

that.

This it is.

I can't.

I can't be.

The passenger.

I can't be submissive.

You probably like that stuff.

You probably calling her mommy.

Yes,

Sounds

like

Fair enough.

I am not trying to yuck your yum.

But I'm not trying to be nobody's passenger.

Go to her house you tell him what sure we're here put on this helmet.

No, thank you.

Oh, yeah to do what I'm not I'm already out in the car leaving I Walk in she put on this hazmat suit

Sounds like

I'm not in order.

I don't need all that In fact, you know what?

No, I'm cool on all that.

No, yeah, you say what you're gonna say No, that's just a little too much to the truth.

We're sure when you

You know like wonder like how did how was your childhood young lady that you You need utensils and it was probably traumatic it was Most those people that are really freaky had a very Bad bad childhood don't even ask sometimes bro.

You don't even want to know and then it's a combination of and Then they'll have a bunch of tattoo the tattoos tell the real story.

I love the tattoo

Piercings gauges, uh-uh, you don't like piercings Not all up in the face.

Oh metal doesn't belong down there It belongs

belly button sure

little belly button piercing.

That's can be kind of cute I like a little belly button pear thing little dangly dangly little sparkly belly button pear thing but Not down in the no-no square.

Oh

The lunch break is up next.

Our phone number is 833-212-1017-833-212-1017.

It's toll free.

Not that I needed it.

Why'd they used to say that when they... You hear an 800 number?

Call toll free!

What tolls do you pay?

I guess the toll would be long distance.

There's no long distance fees anymore.

Let's talk to Sandra.

Hi Sandra, how are you?

Hi Sharon, how are you doing?

I'm good.

You be careful.

Don't hurt nobody with that thing.

Okay.

Have

you ever do you go to the range?

Do you know how to shoot it?

Do you know how to aim?

Do you know how to load it?

Do you know how to feel strip your firearm?

And do you know how to clean it?

Nope.

And you shouldn't have.

I don't

know nothing.

But I did go to the class and I was in the reserve, but we didn't have to

Like I said, I was just it was to me they had sort of as a child basis to try with women in the trial that had children Wait,

you're in the military?

Yeah, and they didn't take me through all of that.

So have you ever shot a gun?

Of course you have you're in the military.

You got to learn how to shoot a gun in a military,

right?

Wait,

hold on a

second.

Isn't there some kind of like?

Basic training even if you're in the reserves, they don't train you they don't train you for combat.

They don't give you a gun

training.

They were saying it was a child basis.

So that's why I signed up.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have

signed up.

So let me get this straight.

I need to clear my head for a moment because I'm so confused.

You were in

The army reserves didn't have to learn how to shoot a weapon.

You own a weapon now.

You've never taken it out of the box and you've never shot.

So you've never shot a gun in your life.

No, you have bullets.

Do you have ammunition?

Yes.

Is it where's the ammunition?

Is it in the gun or somewhere else?

Right.

All right.

I really can sell it really.

Why do you have it?

I haven't had no problems.

Well, like I said, when I got it, I was just afraid because I was living by myself.

And so, you know, you hear all this stuff about the inner city just like that.

So I would just be shaking.

So I just said, I mean, just maybe.

But I always kept it in the safe box, safe, safe.

The metal, the bigger one with the dial.

They check the dial

and get it out.

So I've

been in trouble.

Inhale.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You're not going to get to it in time.

Who do you live with currently?

My doggy Who's the gun locked up from I guess if somebody breaks into your house, you don't want them to have easy access to it I suppose do you know how to load it?

Sell it Sandra sell it

I can't I have to think about selling it cuz I might still go take the training and be you know more But I don't want to shoot nobody cuz when I call you sure I'm always talking about

Trying to bring us together because especially us because we're the target of everything we're the criminals what it is like when I mentioned Right now I mentioned him because I wasn't feeling sorry for what happened I was mad because they're shooting up white people and white people don't get

it

That's

not our problem if white folks who own created and curated this country if they don't get something that's a problem

We ain't got nothing to do.

We ain't got nothing to do with that.

That's not even our

example.

I know, but we're always on TV as the enemy, the criminal for this.

And now you got to scare them ourselves.

I mean, we do a lot of criminal stuff, but it's not.

You've never had an incident, I'm assuming, but you think that one may possibly happen to you just maybe so you have a gun.

that's locked up in a safe that's unloaded that you don't know how to load and you've never shot and don't know how to shoot that sounds like a liability but but but if you feel safer having your gun in a safe that's locked up and unloaded you've never loaded it before and you've never shot it before if that makes you feel safe just get a nice pair of brass knuckles

maybe

When you do stuff, you got to be thinking anyway.

So I mean, like I'm driving the car, somebody come up to me like they claim people are coming up to people snatched trying to snatch them out the car or whatever.

I mean, the car is a main machine.

I'm

thinking

I can run them over.

So you always got to be thinking about it.

Sandra, I'd imagine you were probably and I don't want to, you know, put your age out there, but you're probably somewhere north of 70 years old, correct?

Very rare 77.

Okay.

Oh, look at that.

That's beautiful.

Congratulations.

That's

when I

call your show.

I can tell you about how they tore up the city, the destruction of Milwaukee, the way they make a mess, be the criminals, making us scared of ourselves.

But I'm trying to arrive at a point here in the 77 years you have been on this earth.

Have you ever been snatched out of your car?

Have you ever been murdered before?

You ever been shot at?

You ever been carjacked?

Ever?

Well, maybe the next 77 it might happen.

Do you see the point I'm getting at your safe, Sandra?

I'm safe.

Okay.

I go places.

I don't stop going where I go.

Yeah.

I'm gonna say one more thing before you.

Now, I do get chased by a woman.

So don't

think it's always a

man.

A woman chasing.

You need to be afraid of this woman.

Are you afraid to go to the gas station because that because I'm hearing like women like all black men are not protecting women.

We need to protect, be protective of our women.

Do you feel like are you able to like move around in society without being afraid?

Are you okay going to the gas station?

Are you okay going to the store?

Or do you feel scared all the time you leave the house?

Well, I just go to certain stores and I don't shop a lot anyway, because all my everybody's gone and my husband died last year.

I'm sorry.

This is me, you know, me and the doggies.

So I just drive within my area.

Sometimes I get cheaper gas, you know, because I go out, my daughter's in there, you know, she's in there and I'm in the car and the gas is so much cheaper.

I started to get gas, but I just didn't get on my gas around here.

I feel okay.

All right.

We're good.

Okay.

And I'm thinking all the time.

Be safe out there, Sandra.

You be safe too.

Thank you.

I'll talk to you.

Okay.

Okay.

All right.

Okay.

Later Huh, that's She said, oh, no, nothing's ever happened to me, but I did get chased by a woman ladies Maybe you need to protect yourselves from other women Why is everybody paranoid afraid?

Afraid for things

I'm starting to think this might be on purpose.

If you make people super afraid, you might be able to control and steer their consumer behavior.

If I tell you that all of these threats exist, then maybe you'll internalize the threats and be like, oh my gosh, I'm going to get murdered too.

Let me go buy a gun and put it in a safe.

Don't know how to load it.

Don't know how to shoot it in the bullets.

I got to keep those in the attic.

And then when somebody breaks it, hold on, Robert, let me get the combination to my safe.

You stop right there until I am ready to shoot you.

I'm going to go in the attic now and get the bullets and then no, wait a minute.

Drats.

I don't know how to load my gun.

If you can't load it, if you can't shoot it, if you can't field strip it and clean it, because every time you shoot your gun, if you go to the range, you got to take it apart and clean it.

A lot of folks don't do that.

So when you need it, guess what?

It might jam.

Now you're in a world of sugar, honey, iced tea.

Take a break, come back.

I'm going to look at some YouTube comments and see how many paranoid people we have.

That's where you probably should be afraid, because those YouTube comments, that's where the danger is.

Read some of those on the other side the truth with Sherwin Hughes will be right back

Don't touch that dial the truth with Sherwin Hughes will be right back on 1017 the truth the truth app and 1017 the truth calm You are listening to the truth with Sherwin Hughes on 1017 the truth the truth app and 1017 the truth calm

For Real Sports says, you don't have to be afraid to be pro 2A.

It's literally your constitutional right, so why not use it?

It's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

You know what else you have the right to for Real Sports?

The rights will remain silent.

You know what else you have the right to?

The right to an attorney.

If you cannot afford one, one will be appointed to you and for you.

Here's what people don't get they only see one side of the equation rights require responsibility The second amendment is an incorrect interpretation for modern times, okay, and also if you look at How it is used how it is justified

So the paranoia people for the most part can always kill and shoot black people So fair enough, but here's the other thing when you're gonna use it You better not miss Somebody's gonna try and play the hero shoot somebody's four-year-old granddaughter now you're doing 40 years it ain't worth it Far too many people see and understand the right but have no concept of the level of responsibility

the level of responsibility that you need to own a firearm when you really think about it.

You don't even want that level of responsibility.

You don't want.

It's too much.

If anything goes wrong, it literally is life or death, yours or somebody else's.

If somebody finds it, if somebody steals it, if you're irresponsible with it, if you don't know how to use it, if you don't, if you've got a hot temper.

If you're prone to alcohol, drug use, and abuse, it's way too much.

Adding a gun, honestly, and I'm a gun person.

Eastside Corey asked me what kind of gun I have.

That I'm not going to tell you.

But I will tell you where I get ammunition from, where I would recommend.

I shouldn't even be doing this.

I'm over here promoting gun stuff.

Now, it's a website called cheaperthandirt.com.

That's where you get your ammo.

Don't go...

It's ammo is way too expensive go to cheaper than dirt calm I am not sponsored by them, but cheaper than dirt calm if you want to reach out to me, I'd be willing to talk to you You're not even safe at the gun range You guys ever heard of a gun range and cutting heads on the latent called Eagle Sports I'm not mistaken two people Have been shot at that gun range Which should be the safest place to carry

and discharge of firearm.

Two people got shot there.

And here's the other thing about Eagle Sports.

They had flock cameras and they routinely shared their data with local law enforcement.

So those of you that went to their look because they came here to promote, they had a Juneteenth shoot around.

Oh, I blasted them for that.

Figuratively, not literally.

They were encouraging people to celebrate Juneteenth Day.

By going to the gun range For like it was the start of like 5 p.m.

Until midnight now insane that is why are you going to the gun range first of all in Juneteenth day You know how many black people how many black kids get shot every single day in this city?

And they thought it'd be cool or cute to have a Juneteenth day celebration by shooting guns at a gun range Where to the best of my knowledge at least two people have been shot and they had flock cameras.

So here's what they did with y'all They wanted to see which one of y'all

Had guns which one of y'all would go to Eagle Sports range and they got all your information They got your vehicle make and model.

They ran every single one of your license plates And they advertised and promoted it here on a black talk radio station at a gun range where people got shot Unbelievable Yeah, those people over at Eagle, they're not happy with me, but all I'm doing is just Telling the truth

But because you have a Constitutional right here's another one and I'm not trying to pick on you for real sports Look, I get it.

You know all the white folks run around their pro-second amendment Yeah, they have they have more to be afraid of than we do because they believe that they're losing their country So their rationale for having a gun is certainly different than ours You know what other right that we have for real sports that I wish people would exercise the way they exercise their second amendment, right?

Okay, cool.

Whatever.

It's you're right

It also comes with a heavy level of responsibility.

You see how irresponsible people are.

Look how irresponsible people are when they're having and raising kids and we want to give guns to those same people.

Come on.

You want to exercise the right for real sports and others?

Why don't you vote?

Let's try voting.

Maybe we should give that a shot.

Let's see how it works.

Got a black guy running for governor and I fear that black people are not going to vote for him.

Now I hope that you do but there ain't no guarantees Have a right to vote in elections Go to a NPS school board primary and I'll be the only one there Go to a NPS school board primary Every couple few years because they have staggered elections, right?

So let's say I went to one let's go because I go when the polls open because I Go vote and I immediately come here because I always have to work on election day because it's Tuesday One day just to prove a point Because I've been voter number one More times than I care to admit the first voter I think voting wards are like

2000 people that's how they Decide voting wars because they're they're chopped up by the census when people move in and out of Voting wards they change them and they expand the boundaries and they change is based on population I've probably been Voter number one 15 times easily in the 20 20 years I've been voting in that same location

So at least once a year, more than that, probably 30 times.

You've been voter number one.

So here's what I think I should do.

Since we have a concern about rights as you should, because you don't want anybody taking your right away.

I'll go and be voter number one and I'll just stay there.

Until another voter shows up, but it's not going to be like a presidential election because that's easy or gubernatorial election.

That's easy.

Or even a gubernatorial primary The elections that have the most impact that are voted in at the smallest rate Those are the important ones because we have a lot of issues with NPS because you know black kids can't read and that's not That isn't good.

Anyway, you slice it.

I can't spin that into something positive I'll go vote

I'll be voter number one in the school board primary and I say I'm not leaving until another voter shows up.

I'll be there all day.

I have to do my radio show from the polling location because I'm not leaving until another person shows up.

I wish I could do a live remote from a polling location, but I don't think they'd allow that.

It feels exceptionally illegal because there's no way I wouldn't electioneer and steer people because I obviously would have a candidate in mind.

Has anybody ever tried that doing a live radio broadcast from an actual polling location?

I know one year because you know blacks Oh, it was 2024 In fact our very own DJ brother Z you guys remember when they had DJs playing hip-hop music in front of polling locations.
