My name is Brendan Patrick Hughes, host of Divine Intervention. This is a story about radical nuns in combat boots and wild-haired priests trading blows with J. Edgar Hoover in a hell-bent effort to sabotage a war. J. Edgar Hoover was furious. He was out of his mind, and he wanted to bring the Catholic left to its knees. Listen to Divine Intervention on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Sometimes as dads, I think we're too hard on ourselves. We get down on ourselves on not being able to, you know, we're the providers.

What's up, everybody? Welcome to the Bubble Dub show. I'm kind of ticked off right now,

We we Lakers done lost to the motherfucking Bulls We done got swept by the Bulls in the Pistons this year LeBron 8 foot 20. You ain't shooting Woffa damn. You know why?

Because your cool bitches arguing with God damn Steve and they sweat off. I'm sick of it. You ain't Pocos, fam. You ain't Pocos right now. And don't get me wrong, I love this part of LeBron James coming out of the You need focus right now. And don't get me wrong, I love this part of LeBron James coming out showing the world his petty side, he tied all the chatter. I love it.

But god damn it, I need you on the court bowling. Ain't for 20 trains. Y'all get a little too mothafuckin' comfortable out there when y'all get a lead. change We all get a little too much impossible out there when y'all get a lead now, I don't them boys over there y'all That's a young boys team and Josh get it. He need to be in jail But then it did you know I didn't know why he ain't in there. Just move on to Luka. 8 foot 22. God damn it, Luka. No more Pampers and no more Snickles. You can't, you can run it like a steam, big boy.

First three quarters you good, fourth quarter I can't fucking find you. No more late night snacks, don't cook that shit dead. I dare you to tell me to change that dog. But you keep sneaking into the, in the kitchen late at night, grabbing snacks, one snicker, two snicker, three snicker, make it four, now look at you. Can't even get out the goddamn bed

I'm sick of it No, I know we ain't gonna win every game. I know it but that game They supposed to win tonight and y'all know it bro. I'm gonna soul just tonight On that damn turn oh You hot I kill the game your awareness of the game. You won't make mistakes like that Then let me know Vegas got us tonight AR played beautiful ball with 19 for 17 30-point. I'm loving what I'm seeing from AR Cuz y'all remember when Braun was on the floor, AR would flourish.

But when LeBron was on the floor, remember, AR couldn't really get his game off. The last two motherfucking games, AR been ballin'. And I love it. But overall as a team, we got our rebound tonight. We got our rebound tonight. And we got complacent. We got comfortable with the lead y'all man we can come back and win or we can do this and that to that no you can't

once a team get more momentum ain't nothing you can do with them they already just beat the dogshy out of a couple of days ago we now we was up and lost it's demoralizing when if you ask me, but you gotta tip your hat off to that young boys team they kept fighting. They ain't scared of shit. They don't give a damn about Brian and Luca. They don't give a damn about none of that. Them boys came to play and they fucking won. So cool those two Chicago Bulls. My problem is with the motherfucking Lakers. And us as a unit, because we're a team, we're together now, we're together. We finna win Luca Dunches off these goddamn snacks.

We gonna stop LeBron Argon with Steven A. Smith. He gonna start back drinking that motherfucking red wine again, he gonna start back coming to the game with the Apple, got them earth pies on and goddamn it, and getting back in the zone. He ain't in the zone right now. I just seen that video he posted on Steven A in the boxers, trash, and I fucking loved it.

Steven A lost his motherfucking mind. Do you hear, Steven A done lost his motherfucking mind. Now if my memory serves me correct Steven they swill, you know, I love you fan, you know, I gotta call you that though The last ten interviews you said you was done talking about it, but you still talking about it Then you bring up something to the fact of I don't like LeBron. I'm finally glad you said that I'm finally glad you said that I'm finally glad you said that You don't like LeBron and he mad because you saying he ain't the goat I don't think that's the reason why he married you Steven A. Smith

He's banging all these years you've been running your motherfucking life and your black man on one of the biggest platforms in the world and god Damn it. He ain't like some of the biggest platforms in the world and god damn it He ain't like some of the things you said over these it feels Some of it you've been talking about has been truth I'm gonna argue with your name. You know your shit. You know your sister nation. You know your shit But you and I know what I'm talking about Yeah, you and I very well know what I'm talking about. Yeah, you will not very well know what I'm talking about. So I don't think LeBron James mad at you

because you've been saying he ain't the GOAT head. Hell, even Dwayne Wade, one of the good friends says Michael Jordan wants the GOAT. So I don't think that's the problem. The problem is you doing shit like you're doing now. Shit you was done with. You gonna win on the whole motherfucking campaign. You might as well go to the Breakfast Club next and end it there.

Talk about your little spit with LeBron James, whether it was the Boggesson or whatever it was. This shit should be over with. But we need to be addressing this. Where is all these missing black kids in America? I come over here, talk about sports all day, talk about my baby mama, talk about my family, but I ain't never sit over here and talked about these missing black folks. God damn it, where they at? And if you some, this is after kidnapping people, harming them, you're going to jail. I'm finna form a team.

We finna find these black motherfuckers where they alive or dead. God damn it, we finna find all you social media lawyers and judges right now. There shouldn't be a missing person nowhere. White, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black,

black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, but all we coming over here talking about LeBron and Steven, they fuck both of them. That little girl need to be at home with her family. That little boy need to be at home with his father. That's what we should be talking about. But instead we already talking about some petty shit.

Two million now, one billion now, one million now, going back and forth, and we didn't happen to be the same color. I don't like it. You think Mr. From Color Purple would like this? You think Harpo would like, hell no. Harpo would rather fight Sophia again than goddamn watch Steve and they in LeBron

cuss each other, throw it on TV. I don't like it And for the people that's come on my show and come in I love it I appreciate it You know my smile pin is your opinions, but let me tell you I want thing Somebody brought up something to me do he ain't got to go on no black podcast you right LeBron Ain't gotta do a motherfucker thing but stay black and die But when you bring up the fact, so well he went on um Who was that? Richard Jefferson them so and then he played ball with Richard Jefferson, huh?

Well, dude, he went he big on the shop. Don't he own the shop Damn I didn't think about that. Did you hell no? Don't need your own shop. Damn, y'all didn't think about that did you? Hell no. Now he ain't gotta go on with smoke because I know Stackfire and them talk cash money shit about it. I get it.

He can go a million dollar worth of game. Coach Price went on that motherfucker. When your Smith went on that motherfucker, damn it, he can go on him too. Y'all know what I'm talking about when I say Black Power casters. Y'all know exactly what the hell I'm talking about. There's a difference.

Richard Jefferson is in the same category as Bill Cosby. And y'all know it. Then somebody brought up where Floyd ain't went. Floyd don't be on the pivot! Floyd don't be on drink channels! Then y'all made a comment, somebody made a comment, well, Floyd don't help black people. You a motherfucking liar if he don't! That's my partner, I ain't gonna take up for him,

just take up for him, because some shit he do, I don't agree with. But for the most part, from what I can see in my own eye, Floyd help black people there, you told ma! Now I'm just looking in, you don't know what the hell going on. But for the most part from what I can see my own eye for help You told mom Oh, that's looking at you. No, what the hell going on? Oh Man, run build schools. Okay, that's taxes. That's taxes. No, hey, Michael blasting got seven schools old and gone Are we praising him? I be prayed run. Hey, you know So miss me with that

Hell no! So miss me with that! Miss me with that! He don't, bruh, ain't got no shit. He don't owe nobody shit. But let me break something down to y'all. I seen somebody said something, well, bruh, know what he's doing. He don't want to go on these black people's shit, cause they be thirsty. But you'd rather go over to these white people's shit.

Make it make sense. It's thirsty when a nigga want to do it. But when a white man want wanna do it, it's all damn slaves mind I'm just keeping the world here tonight. Damn slaves mind. Talk like that It's thirsty when black people want you come on this show, but it's okay for the white people Or the miskes or it's kinda new Japanese, but it's only thirsty when it's us That's bullshit, and y'all know it.

It's bigger things we could be discussing than these two brothers. It's this kid game shit, if you ask me. It's all the shit we could be discussing, it's all the shit that we could be building. Don't you think them motherfucking white men ain't having meetings? Strategically meetings are for whatever else they want to do, businesses, hospitals, infrastructure, god damn it, they ain't having meetings. Only meeting we have is at the wake of dead people. That's the only meeting we have at wakes and funeral.

When can we come together besides criminals? The hell y'all talking about? Y'all done got me off track. And I apologize. But I'm sick of these niggas going back and forth. There's some real shit going on in the world. This a nigga ain't ain't today. He in this car right now.

We asked parents who adopted teens to share their journey. We just kind of knew from the beginning that we were family. They showcased a sense of love that I never had before. I mean, he's not only my parent, like he's like my best friend. At the end of the day, it's all been worth it. I wouldn't change a thing about our lives.

My name is Brendan Patrick Hughes, host of Divine Intervention. This is a story about radical nuns in combat boots and wild-haired priests trading blows with J. Edgar Hoover in a hell-bent effort to sabotage a war. J. Edgar Hoover was furious somebody violated the FBI and he wanted to bring the Catholic left to its knees.

The FBI went around to all their neighbors and said to them, do you think these people are good Americans? It's got heists, tragedy, a trial of the century, and a god-damnedest love story you've ever heard. I picked up the phone and my thought was, this is the most important phone call I'll ever make in my life. I couldn't believe it. I mean, Brendan, it was divine intervention.

Listen to Divine Intervention on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, it's Alec Baldwin. This season on my podcast, Here's the Thing, I speak with California Governor Gavin Newsom. I watch Fox. I pay attention to Newsmax, One American News. I don't turn my back to the critics, but there is a sort of California derangement syndrome out there that is just sort of ridiculous.

This notion that this is the only state that has challenges. It's just comedic, but it's damaging. We record breaking tourism last year. We have a surplus again. We have a state with population growing again. You wouldn't know that. That's not prevalent. It's not part of the discussion.

It's been engulfed by the fires. It's been engulfed by the fires. It's a failed state, California. But for me, it's a pride for me, again, as a guy who lives here, who cares about the state, is to make a case anew for it. And I'm a little clintony about it. There's nothing wrong with it. It can't be fixed by what's right with it.

Listen to the new season of Here's the Thing on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Y'all start seeing people start growing in the industry Start doing good. Why can't it be a God blessing them? Why I gotta be that we sold our soul I'm asking Hmm Why I gotta be somebody so they sold Some of them have

We all might not get along, but we should respect one another. I don't get in your business, you gonna get in my motherfucking business.

That's all I'm saying. I never tell you how to get your money. And I never tell you how to spend your money. Do what you wanna do with your shit. That's all I could tell you. I ain't got no heaven or no hell to put you in. And what I eat don't make you shit. So do your thing.

And F what people got to say about you. They gonna talk about you whether you doing good. Do you. Do whatever make you feel happy. Just don't be out here killing people, man. Raping nobody.

I'm going to help the hood. Raise up that shirt boy. Yeah Yeah I'm gonna help the hood. I'm gonna help the community. I'm gonna help the folks And let me break some down to y'all to a lot of time cuz a lot of time Y'all gonna know when y'all say people be helping the community Cuz they be giving back a lot of time that money don't even go to the community man

Do you understand what I'm saying to you? A lot of time that money don't go to the community. People never see that money, man. Sometimes if you can't, if it's possible, that you can really go back to the hoods that you're from or that you would like to help. And I know, cause sometimes you don't wanna cause a scene like that, you know, with the cameras and this and that, but sometimes you gotta go on there

and do that shit yourself. Break bread with these folks. you got you got good intentions And your heart is your mind is in the right spot you want to give back to these people But sometimes these families these hoods they don't even get the money that when they get these people give back Well, that's just real talk on this shit Some y'all need to know in case y'all don't know when people be saying I'll be giving back to the community Sometimes you don't even get that shit out And a lot of time niggas be like trying to get back to the community cuz they just ain't ones who help destroy it

You understand what I'm saying a lot of time we'd be going destroying our own community I tell this story and I tell it again I used to sell crack cocaine, but I always said I love my brothers. But I think I really love my brothers because I was selling them shit that was killing. You understand what I'm saying to you, man? I'm hypocrite, man. I was saying, man, I'm going to help my brothers, man. I'm going to build up my community.

I was killing. I was killing my own community, man. Trying to community. I was killing. I was killing my own community, man. Trying to be somebody I wasn't. Trying to be a man. Going by shit the wrong way. But I no better now. I'm a whole lot smaller than I was back then, man. Ain't nothing cool with killing your community, man.

I wanna see all my brothers and sisters flourish, all colors. I want to see everybody flourish, man. But I was one of the ones that was killing my own community and I didn't even see it at the time. Being young and dumb and blinded by money and wanted to be the man. I wanted to be the man when I was selling dope. But I was never the man when I was selling dope. But when I started doing the right things, I became the man.

Real talk, all the time I sold dope, I didn't have no damn money. That was just spinning my wheels. Yeah, spinning my wheels, man. When you clean yourself up you can be lost but you can also be found. But when you clean yourself up you start reading books. I started watching people like Dick Gregory start educating my mind a little bit more and expanding it.

I started really getting what's going on out here man. Solution. Well I'm selling dope I got hoes. Nah, bro, I'm gonna do this shit the right way. And I found my gift. And I'm using my gift to open up doors, not only for me, but for whoever. That's the way I think.

Everybody got their own way of thinking. But I know it's enough money out here for all of us. So nobody be mad about what such and such getting. Just put your work in and your time in and what you want will come. What you want will come. God gonna give you what you need, not what you want. I tell women that all the time. Fuck who you need, not who you want.

Just fucking who you want, baby, got you walking around here sad and mad and bill. Just start fucking who you need. So if you happen to have a sugar daddy that's living down the road and he's been offering to help you and them kids, but you don't want his help, I can do it on my own and you just can't do it on your own baby don't feel bad about giving that money don't feel bad don't give it to you might save a life being selfish get you nothing clothes mouth and cold legs don't get there appreciate that sure mate that's how I'm saying here tonight closed mouth don't get fed.

I know there's plenty of people on this right here watching this show. Small, I done a motherfucker. You can probably, can invent apps. You just need the opportunity. But you gotta, you know what I'm saying? You gotta present yourself. Gotta present yourself, man. And nobody told you today or anything, I love you.

This is a story about radical nuns in combat boots and wild-haired priests trading blows with J. Edgar Hoover in a hell-bent effort to sabotage a war. J. Edgar Hoover was furious. He was out of his mind and he wanted to bring the Catholic left to its knees. Listen to Divine Intervention on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. We asked parents who adopted teens to share their journey. We just kind of knew from the beginning that we were family.

They showcased a sense of love that I never had before. I mean, he's not only my parent, like he's like my best friend. At the end of the day, it's all been worth it. I wouldn't change a thing about our lives. Learn about adopting a teen from Foster Care. Visit adoptUSkids.org to learn more.
