In this episode of The DL Hughley Show Podcast, we are talking about the co-founder of Rolling Stone magazine’s derogatory comments about women and black musicians. He said he did not interview women or black musicians because they are not articulate enough. On The GED Report, DL talks about Republican presidential candidate Tim Scott saying that donors are being racist for bringing up that he is not married. DL called it ironic that Scott is calling out this racism but has been silent on the people in his own party that spew racist comments often. The national blood supply has dropped 25%. The American Red Cross is urging people to donate blood, especially blood type O. The Question of the Day comes from a woman who is thinking about leaving her husband because he wants his mom who has dementia to move in with them and his wife does not. The Question of the Day asks if the woman is wrong for wanting to leave her husband because he wants to take care of his mother. AND MORE!!!

The United States has more than 1.5 million nonprofits — from homeless shelters, food banks and rescue squads to children’s choirs, science museums and animal refuges — that employ one out of every 10 Americans. Like any company, nonprofits have salaries and bills to pay, a budget to balance. They require money. And if enough people don’t know about them, don’t believe in them, don’t support them — in short, if they lack BUZZ — they suffer and die.

This week we get into vampire tropes as we discuss THE INVITATION (2022) and all things related to vampires. We also give our quick thoughts on Amsterdam as well talk about the week's biggest film & tv news headlines.

"Never give up. Never give in. Never surrender." - Sean Sullivan

EPISODE OVERVIEW: 

Can you imagine sending your autistic son to a boarding school where you trust he is going to receive the best care, and come to find out he was raped? Then, to make matters worse, the next boarding school you send him to holds him hostage for over a year and a half, makes him sleep outside like an animal, and torments him everyday?  Today's guest can not only imagine what it's like, but lived it. Watch or listen now to hear this inspiring story of personal endurance, steadfastness, and love. And how he escaped these terrible people in a Kayak, raised bus fare to go home, and finally was reunited with his biological parents. Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the Sean Sullivan story!

GUEST BIO: 

Sean was born with severe autism, and it was thought that he would never be independent, self-aware, or ever have an IQ higher than 30!! But he worked excessively hard to beat the odds and to be the founder of I Know Autism Foundation, it's director of marketing and fundraising!

Currently Sean is writing a book on his experiences at the Crater Lake School in Oregon. Here are a couple of articles online that talk about it:

• https://www.strugglingteens.com/archives/1997/8/np01.html
• https://www.seattlepi.com/local/article/Crater-Lake-School-will-close-1133634.php

As well as my trip from an unnamed boarding school to California starting out with not even a penny!!

In episode 10 of season 2 Larry Nguyen, Creative Director of Outfit Branding & Design and 2005 graduate of the University of Denver discusses his passion for branding, working with international clients, and getting projects published in design books. Larry shares his appreciation for the eMAD program at DU (listen for the faculty shoutouts) that taught him to take risks, think conceptually, and become a typographic monk. He also discusses the time he created a slide deck for his in-laws in order to convince them that it was a good idea to quit his job and start a design firm with their daughter. There’s plenty of stories about work and family and the Boston Red Sox. That’s right, for all you baseball fans you’ll want to listen to the end (no skipping) for an amazing story about the 2004 World Series.
