Tony Bruski (Narrator/Commentator)
Sean Diddy Combs wants the world to believe he's found peace. That his so called spiritual reset in prison has changed him, humbled him, made him a new man. But if you read between the lines of his latest move, asking the federal appeals court to fast track his case, you see the same old Diddy, the same inflated sense of self importance, the same belief that the rules bend for him because in his mind they always have. The request itself isn't illegal. Defendants can absolutely ask for an expedited hearing, but the psychology behind it, that's what tells the story. This isn't about due process, it's about ego maintenance. It's about the man who spent decades living in a world that existed solely to serve him. And now facing the same system that every other convicted felon faces, he can't stand the idea of waiting his turn. That's why he thinks by asking for the expedited appeal, of course they'll bow to him because he's Diddy. Combs has served just over a year of his four year sentence for flying women and male sex workers were driving them across state lines to engage in drug fueled sexual encounters. He wants oral arguments heard by April, months earlier than normal, so that if his conviction gets overturned, he can benefit from the reductions offered under rehabilitation programs. You can practically hear the substext I am Sean Combs. I'm not built to sit in a cell while the wheels of justice grind slowly. I don't know how to do a Sean Diddy Combs impersonation, but there you Go. Here's the part that makes it so hard to stomach, though. His lawyers told the court that the fallout from his conviction has devastated his business. Oh, you think? Oh, it devastated his business. So those. Those hundreds of people. I know you weren't convicted on all of them. I know there's still, like, hundreds of pending civil suits against you. But the allegations from the hundreds of people. In my opinion, allegedly. All that bullshit. What about them? What about them? Oh, it's hurt your business. Oh. Oh, excuse me. Well, I don't give a rat's ass, because when I saw you stomping on Cassie's head in that video. Hmm. All give a shit kind of went out the window for me. How about you? Over a hundred people lost their jobs because of the empire that collapsed around him. Well, consider themselves freaking lucky that you are not employed by the monster anymore. People who depended on him for their livelihoods are now out of work. Not about people losing their jobs by any means, but when you're working for the devil, basically. Maybe there's other opportunities out there. Just saying. Sound like he's the only one hiring. He's asking the courts to hurry up so he can get back to making money again. He'll find a way. He always, always. There's no acknowledgment that the reason these people are jobless is because of his actions. There's no humility in the face of wreckage he caused. It's just the same refrain of poor me wrapped in legal language and narcissistic spin. It's the only modality this man has. Let's remember who we're talking about here. The man who for decades sold himself as the embodiment of success, power, and excess. The man whose name was synonymous with luxury and domination. And according to his former employees, that image was built on fear. In the documentary the Making of a Bad Boy, staffers and insiders described a culture of intimidation, where saying no was not an option, where boundaries blurred, where parties weren't just parties, but exercises in control. One former employee said, there ain't a Diddy party that didn't turn into a freak off. Another recalled him telling people that this is what you had to do to make it in the industry. Allegedly. All of it. Allegedly. That's not mentorship. That's coercion dressed in the language of ambition. That's not leadership. It's domination. And now, when he's finally facing real world consequences, he wants to speed the whole damn thing up. Because waiting, apparently, is for everyone else. The little people. His Lawyers point out that he's participating in substance abuse treatment programs and other rehabilitative efforts, as if checking those boxes should move him to the front of the line. Here's the thing though. Accountability doesn't have a fast lane transformation, doesn't come with a court approved timetable. The irony is staggering. The same man who allegedly made people wait on him hand and foot for decades, who made employees live on his schedule, his whims, his moods, now can't stomach waiting on the justice system. He's not used to being told no. He's used to snapping his fingers and having doors open. But the federal courts don't care about celebrity branding, Dear Diddy. They don't care about your Instagram following or your Grammy count. They care about the record. They care about the law. And when you strip away the luxury veneer, this appeal is just another extension of the same behavior that got him here in the first place. Control. It's about regaining the narrative, reassessing, reasserting power, Making sure he he's not the one waiting for anyone else to decide his fate. Narcissists don't do well with submission. They don't tolerate losing control. They rewrite the script so that even when they're the villain, they're still getting top billing at sentencing. He told the judge he was disgusted by his behavior, that he was ashamed and remorseful. But words are cheap. Apologies don't erase patterns. A true reckoning doesn't. Look, let's get this appeal over with quickly so I can start rebuilding my empire. It looks like sitting with the consequences for as long as it takes. It looks like prioritizing the people you harmed, not the clock running out on your incarceration. And let's talk about those people. The women who testified, the employees who described living in fear. The individuals who are still suing him for what they say they endured under his watch. They've been waiting years for justice, some for decades. For them, nothing has been fast. Reporting abuse wasn't fast. Healing wasn't fast. Watching the system move wasn't fast. But now the man at the center of all of it wants his redemption delivered overnight. That's the entitlement of power. That is the hallmark of grandiosity. The mindset that says I've suffered long enough. As if doing 14 months of a 50 month sentence somehow levels the playing field. When you've lived your entire adult life surrounded by yes men, private jets and camera flashes, humility is an alien language. And what this motion to expedite tells us is that despite the carefully worded letters about peace and spirituality. The man inside that stealth still believes his own exception, his own exceptionality. He still believes he's owed special consideration because of who he is. Let's also be clear. This is not a witch hunt. The man was acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering, charges that could have put him away for life. The system already spared him the harshest penalties. He got four years. Four. This is for. Not this. Four. And he still can't sit with that. He still can't let time do its job. This is the part where the narcissism is most transparent. Narcissists often confuse consequences with persecution. They don't view punishment as justice. They view it as unfairness. To them, every repercussion is a personal attack. Every boundary is an insult. Every delay is dis. Disrespect. So instead of reflecting on why the world no longer bends to him, Diddy is doubling down on the belief that he deserves to be fast tracked back to freedom. He's already framed his time in prison as rebirth, a spiritual reset. But a spiritual reset isn't a branding opportunity. It's not a new slogan for the next chapter of your career. It's supposed to be a reckoning. And real transformation doesn't involve lawyers asking for special treatment while the people you hurt are still processing the damage. And let's not forget, he's still facing multiple civil lawsuits. Former staff, former partners, former associates, all claiming years of abuse, manipulation, and coercion. They're all making it up, right? It's all big cash grab. All of these people, every single one of them, all lies, right? Everybody just there. Just there to take it. So when his defense argues that his arrest destroyed his business, what they're really saying is the truth finally caught up. And now we want the courts to hurry up so he can start over. That is not accountability. That is called pr. There's a reason the public reaction to his speedy appeal request has been a mix of outrage and disbelief. Because it's not just about the law. It's about the optics of entitlement. When powerful men fall, their first instinct is not reflection. It's control. How fast can I rebuild the narrative? How soon can I get back to the image that made me untouchable? If the justice system moves faster for him than anyone else, it sends a devastating message. Fame buys time, and justice sells priority passes. That's not equality under the law. That's privilege rebranded as efficacy. Meanwhile, the real victims, the ones who spoke up in those docu series and courtrooms are still left to pick up their pieces at night, normal speed. They don't get expedited healing. They don't get a fast forward on their trauma. So no, Sean Combs doesn't deserve a speedy appeal. He deserves a fair one. Just like every other inmate sitting in a cell tonight without the luxury of a PR team to repackage their crimes into a redemption arc. If this really is the new Diddy, the one who's learned and grown, then he should understand that growth isn't measured by how fast you get out. It's measured by what you with the time you've got. And if he can't stand still long enough to face that, then maybe the rest or the reset that he keeps preaching about never happened at all. Cause of course it didn't. Because at the end of the day, a man who spent decades building an empire on control will always reveal himself the moment he loses it. And right now, his demand for a speedy appeal isn't the voice of a changed man. It's the same old ditty still trying to run the show.

Tony Bruski (Narrator/Commentator)
Yeah, we're going to do this story. We're going to talk about it. Maybe you've heard rumblings, maybe you've read about it. People was, I think, one of the first to report on it. Just when you thought it couldn't get darker, really if again, allegations. What this is allegations. Allegations allegedly in front of all of this. And maybe it is because this is a story that's like, seriously, really did this, this actually happened? Power doesn't always roar. Sometimes it purrs. Quiet, confident, knowing exactly how much you'll let it get away with. That's the kind of power that Sean Diddy combs, allegedly wielded for decades, polished, untouchable, wrapped in designer fabric and nostalgia. The kind of power that hides in plain sight because we all helped build the myth. We bought the records, we wore the clothes, we called him mogul. But what happens when the mogul becomes a monster behind the curtain? When the man who sold swagger and success becomes a symbol of coercion, humiliation, and desecrated legacy? The newest accusation against Combs is not just another lawsuit. It is a horror show written in the language of power and blasphemy. Because this one didn't happen in a hotel room or a hidden mansion. It happened in a shrine, a warehouse allegedly lined with clothes of the late rapper Christopher Wallace. The Notorious B.I.G. the friend whose death helped catapult Diddy into pop culture sainthood. The police report says that In February of 2020, during what was supposed to be a project collaboration with Biggie's son, C.J. wallace, Diddy allegedly brought a music producer into that warehouse. He invited him to go through Biggie's preserved clothes, to touch the relics, to feel close to hip hop history. And then, allegedly, according to the report, Diddy sat down on a couch. The allegation is there was something playing on his phone. And then he started doing something, hiding something behind a something T shirt, a Biggie shirt. Like, what is that? What is he doing? Something one might do on their own, alone in a bedroom, maybe. Yeah, that's the allegation. That's the allegation that people is reporting. Picture that. If this is true, the shirt of a murdered legend draped over a man who's built an empire off that legend's ghost. The report says he looked at the victim, laughed, removed the shirt to show off, and said, come help me out. I'm, I'm. I'm. I'm mincing words of these allegations. When the man didn't, Diddy allegedly threw the soiled shirt at him, landing across his lap and arm, and said, rest in peace, Biggie. If this story is true, that's not just assault. That's desecration. That's performance art. For a sociopath, it's a message. I don't own the myth. I can and I can defile it whenever I please. And like every story tied to Diddy, the alleged victim didn't run. He stayed in the orbit. Because that's what people do when they've already invested in the dream. When you're standing in a room filled with platinum plaques, it's hard to believe that the man behind them might be a predator. The predator continued working with C.J. or the producer, rather, continued working with C.J. wallace, because what's the alternative? Walk away and destroy your career? But the tone changed. He says another associate, Willie Mack, started Calling him a liar, threatening him. Then in 2021, the story takes a darker turn. Allegedly, he travels to California to do a house, or to a house in the Hollywood Hills to meet with CJ and Willie Mack about their project. Two men grab him, rough him up, throw him, throw a hood over his head. They lead him to another room, allegedly throw him onto an ottoman. And then he hears that voice, the one we've all heard a thousand times on the radio. The report says he allegedly saw Diddy's black custom Air Force ones, heard him screaming, calling him a snitch. Then, according to the police statement, did. He grabbed him by the head and forced things. The guy allegedly pulled away and apparently it kind of kept going on. Then did he allegedly walked out? CJ allegedly came in afterwards, said he felt bad. This is almost like, is this real? Is this real? I don't know. These are these. Again, quite the allegations. And look, there's plenty of raw real out there on this man. But this is. This is the new allegation. The man who built his career on friendship, loyalty and family, who paraded Biggie's name like a brand, now accused of essaying someone while invoking that very friendship. It's grotesque if it's true, and it sounds familiar to some other stories and other accusations against him. Diddy's been running this playbook for years. Power, humiliation, silence. The public only sees the headlines. The glamorous parties, the yacht photos, the endless king of hip hop narratives. But the people who worked in that orbit talk about something else. Isolation, fear and intimidation. The parties where people said no one said. The parties where people said no once and were never invited again. The assistants who signed NDAs thicker than phone books. The artists who suddenly lost their careers after crossing him. This is how control works. It doesn't need to kill you to destroy you. It just needs to make you invisible. And this time, he didn't choose just any symbol to defile. He chose Biggie. Allegedly, the man whose death defined him, whose name he's been cashing in on for decades. That's the part that chills. I think everyone the most because this wasn't random. It was ritual. The act of doing that into a shirt. The line about rest in peace. I mean, that's what almost makes it feel not real. Again, these are allegations, so we can't confirm it is, but it's being reported on by some fairly large organizations. It's power mixed with preservation. That's a man performing his dominance over an entire legacy. And again, with what we've seen what we've heard in other allegations over time. Yeah, it makes this feel like, oh, well, this might be a possibility. Some people say, why now? Why are all these victims coming out after so many years? The answer is simple. Because the system that protected him finally started to crack. You can't intimidate everyone forever. You can't sue every survivor into silence. And now Diddy's not in the penthouse. He's in a prison serving 50 months on federal prostitution charges. Now transferred to Fort Dicks. Yeah, I know the name, but it's like Club Fed. It's very nice if you have to go to a prison with a release date now set for May 28, he's appealing, of course. He wants a speedy review, as though justice should operate on his timetable. But no matter what he tells himself, this time he's not in control of the room. And still the lawsuits continue to pile up. Over 50 civil suits still sitting there, painting a consistent stomach turning picture of coercion, assault, grooming and humility. Humiliation stretching back decades. Some victims say they were beaten. Others say they were drugged. All describe the same structure. Invitation to exclusive spaces. Drugs introduced under a guise of relaxation and a sudden turn into violence or some sort of sexual coercion. But this case, the Biggie shirt, it carries a special kind of darkness because it's not just about power. It's about the legacy as leverage. I mean, imagine controlling someone's memory so completely that you feel entitled to weaponize their belongings. Imagine desecrating your dead friend's name as part of your dominance ritual. It's almost poetic in its depravity, if it's real. And what about C.J. wallace? Biggie's son is named in the report. He's not accused of assault or anything, but he's there, tied to the project, connected to the timeline. He reportedly felt bad afterwards. But feeling bad doesn't undo the machine. When the person holding the keys to your father's empire behaves like that, how do you even push back? This is how power perpetuates itself. It infects everyone nearby, forcing them into complicity whether they want it or not. Inside Fort Dix, Diddy's reality looks a lot different. There's no mansions, there's no entourages, no multimillion dollar bottles of champagne. Just another inmate in a low security federal facility eating institutional meals, sleeping on a cot, and attending the same man mandatory programs as everyone else. The Bureau of Prisons lists him as eligible for substance abuse programming, and that's about as close to luxury as he gets right now. But outside those walls, the myth, well, it is still collapsing. The mogul narrative is rotting from the inside. Cuz this isn't a single scandal. It's an entire ecosystem of exploitation finally being documented. Again, all allegations. The more these reports surface, the more they paint the same picture. A man who didn't just exploit people sexually or emotionally, but culturally, who turned power itself into performance art. And look, there will always be defenders. The ones who say he gave so many people their start. But here's the ugly truth. Giving someone a start doesn't grant you ownership of their body. Elevating culture doesn't exempt you from the consequences of violating human beings. For years, Diddy's power depended on people believing he was untouchable. That myth is dead. Now we're left with questions. What happens to Biggie's legacy now? What happens to C.J. wallace, whose father's memory was allegedly weaponized by the very man who claims to have loved him most? What happens to the industry that kept protecting combs even as rumor after rumor piled up? And maybe this is another rumor. The irony here is suffocating. Diddy built his empire on the back of a man whose life ended violently. And now, decades later, the same empire is being dismantled by his own violence, his own darkness, his own inability to stop seeing people as possessions. There's something poetic about the fall of someone who thought he could rewrite every story. Because this story, this one written in police reports, lawsuits, and survivor statements, doesn't get to be remixed. He can appeal, he can deny, he can file all the motions he wants, but the narrative's no longer his to control. And maybe that's what the moment is all about. Watching the myth of invincibility finally unravel. Watching the industry that called him king try to scrub his fingerprints off the crown. Watching the world look at the Biggie archives, not as sacred artifacts, but as evidence. Because when a shirt once worn by Biggie Smalls becomes part of some sort of essay allegation, that's not just a fall from grace. That's a total collapse of moral gravity if it's true. That's what happens when someone confuses being a gatekeeper of culture with being a God. So yes, Diddy sits in prison today, but the real sentence is this. The myth he built to hide behind has turned into a museum of horror. Every artifact, every story, every legendary night, reexamined, recontextualized, relabeled as evidence. The walls continue to close in. And this time, he doesn't get to curate that exhibit it. The museum of power is finally burning down and all that's left is the smell of smoke, the echo of denial and a shirt that should have been left on the hangar. A relic of a legend defined allegedly by a man who swore he'd honor it. That's not just another lawsuit. That's the eulogy for an empire. Do you think this one is true? I don't know. I don't know. I mean I don't know. And it's not. I don't. Common no, it's. I don't know. It's hard to know what to believe. It truly is. We'll see how this plays out with the. The allegations and the police filings on this and we'll keep an eye on it. It. It's so grotesque. It's like you did what?

Let's talk about Diddy. The man who once bragged about being on top of the world, now allegedly caught drinking in prison. Same guy who used to have million dollar parties, whose entire empire was built around the image of self discipline and can't stop, won't stop energy. Apparently couldn't stop long enough to survive a few months behind bar bars without getting buzzed. But this wasn't champagne. Not vodka, not Ciroc, not cheap whiskey. Nope. This was prison booze, hooch, garbage, juice. The kind of fermented sludge that smells like infection and desperation. If you've never seen it, let me paint a picture for you. Prison liquor Pruno, as it is known, isn't made in some secret underground distillery. It's made in trash bags, mop, bucke and toilets. Little extra toilet paper in there. Oh, this is a lovely napkin. It's part of the garnish. Go ahead, eat it. You take a few bruised oranges from the cafeteria, maybe an apple if you can sneak one packets of ketchup or jelly for sugar, a slice of bread for yeast and water. Seal it up, wait for it to rotate. Mmm. The yeast eats the sugar. The few the fruit decomposes and what's left is a foamy, false smelling chemical reaction. Strong Enough to burn your throat and possibly kill you. But it can also get you buzzed. They strain it through socks, pour it into old peanut butter jars, and pass it around like it's top shelf. They'll even brag about who's got the the smoothest batch. And if it's a sommelier competition instead of a fungal experiment, well, you're in for a treat. And that's what Diddy allegedly got caught with. The man who once sold $300 bottles of Ciroc sitting on a bunk, drinking fermented fruit sludge like a broke chemistry student. That's not rock bottom. That's rotting bottom. Because this isn't about alcohol. It's about power. Inside, everyone's chasing the same thing. Control. You take men who've lived their whole lives getting what they want, you strip that away, and they'll find a way to take it back, even if it means brewing poison in the plastic bag. And for Diddy, it's perfect symmetry. The man who lived to control every headline, every room, every image now redeemed, reduced to sneaking rot gut in a cell. Same ego, different tools. I'm interested to get your thoughts on this story in the comments on YouTube. If you're not already there. Search Hitting Killers of Tony Bruski. You'll find us. And please do hit subscribe and let us know your thoughts. Have you ever had this stuff? I've had, like, juice in my fridge that. That I forgot got way, way back there. And like, ooh, when you open it, and it's like, I think this is fermented and usually just dump it out. It's not like, let me take a sip. This is quite a process. You can almost imagine the arrogance of all of this. The guy who used to send assistants to fetch him imported liquor, now whispering through a vent, yo, you got any sugar packs for breakfast? He's running on this same kind of hustle. Just a place where the currency isn't power or fame. It's contraband. And that's the thing about prison. Everyone's gotta hustle. You've got the chef who can make burritos out of ramen and Doritos. You've got the pharmacist who can crush and combine anything that'll get you high. You got the breweries who thinks he's a genius because his pruno doesn't taste like battery acid. The only thing more predictable than violence behind bars is to smell a batch of fermenting under a bunk. They make it with fruit jelly sugar. When they can get it when they can't, they'll use whatever they can find. Candy, condiments, leftover vegetables. I've heard of guys trying to ferment milk and spaghetti sauce. You can't even make that up. That's the kind of desperation Diddy allegedly joined in on. So yeah, he's drinking in prison. He's not rebelling. He's not making a statement. He's just another weak man who can't handle being powerless. The same guy who used to brag about how he built his empire from nothing. Now literally building prison from lunch scraps. It doesn't stop at alcohol. You'd be shocked what guys behind bars will do to get high. They'll smoke coffee grounds. They'll snort instant Kool Aid for the caffeine. They'll mix rubbing alcohol with mouthwash and drink it like vodka. All of these can kill you. They'll huff hand sanitizer, spray deodorant into bags, inhale fumes from burned orange peels. It's not creativity. It's self destruction disguised as entertainment. They've got whole codes for it. They'll call it tuning up, getting cloudy, taking a trip. What. What is it really? Watching your body rot from the inside out because you can't stand to be inside your own head. And that's where Diddy fits perfectly. The man has never lived a day that wasn't engineered around distraction. Fame, wealth, women, power, noise, noise, noise. You take that away, lock him in a room with silence and panics. The party don't stop. It just gets disgusting. Picture it. The man who once popped bottles on yachts now sitting on a concrete bunk, swirling his plastic cup of fermented cafeteria fruit like he's still at his Soho house. Except now the vintage is whatever was left on someone's tray at breakfast. And he'll convince himself it's sophisticated. That's a delusion of control that power junkies carry with them even when they've hit bottom. Them and the people making this stuff, they think they're geniuses. They treat brewing pruno like it's science, like they're chemists. They'll hide the bag in the toilet tank because it's warm. They'll burp it every few hours to release gas so it doesn't explode. They'll even argue about fermentation times like it's Napa Valley. Nah, man, you gotta let it sit at least seven days. That's when the flavor comes out. Flavor? It tastes like decompuse. Decomposing fruit. And regret. You know what Happens when it goes wrong. People go blind. They get paralyzed. They die. There are documented cases of inmates landing in hospitals with botulism after drinking this stuff. But in there, the risk is the thrill that surpasses for excitement when your world is made of concrete. And Diddy, of all people, allegedly joins in. The man who had everything now redeemed to chasing the same buzz as the guy who's locked up for life. It's not about addiction. It's about ego. About needing to prove that you can still bend the rules. That even in the cage, you're the one in control. But the joke is on him, because that's exactly what everyone else in there thinks, too. You're not running the world anymore. You're just another desperate guy with a trash bag full of spoiled fruit pretending it's a rebellion. People on the outside will try to spend this like a symptom of stress or a moment of weakness. No, this is a choice. It's a choice to act a fool. To act the same arrogant clown who thought the rules didn't apply to him before he got caught. The environment didn't change him. It exposed him. And what's worse, he's not even good at being an inmate. Because if you're going to make pruno, you've gotta be smart about it. You can't just stash it anywhere. You gotta hide it in air vents and laundry bins under floor tops. Guys get creative. They tape it to the underside of bunks or buried it in trash cans. They age it by hot water pipes for faster fermentation. You've gotta be careful who you drink with, because if one guy gets sloppy, everyone pays. They'll shake down your whole block, confiscate everything, write you up. So for Diddy to get caught, that's not bad luck. That's stupidity. That's the arrogance of a man who thinks he can run the same con he's always running. Charm and denial will keep him safe. He's learning the hard way. And nobody cares who you were on the outside. Your Grammy awards don't mean a thing when your smell. When your cell smells like rotting oranges and your bunkmates drinking fermented fruit punch to forget where he is. That's the beauty of prison. It strips you down to what you really are. And if this story is true, what Diddy is, what he's always been, is a man so addicted to control that he'll drink literal trash to convince himself he still has some. The king of luxury turned inmate mixologist, the master manipulator reduced to burping a bag of rotting juice under his bunk. The man who once owned the night, now partying, now praying rather his batch doesn't explode before he can choke it down. It's not redemption, it's poetic punishment. Because here's the thing. In prison, nobody cares what your name is. You're just another fool looking for an escape. Drinking your dignity one rotten sip at a time. And I say, drink up. Drink up. Diddy. Wouldn't that be interesting? They keep saying Diddy, when he comes out, is going to be a preacher. Mark my words, that is the next move for this man. I see Diddy megachurch. I see big redemption story, all self manufactured. Not that other people are saying, oh, my God, he's a changed man. No, but because he bought a big sign that says he's a changed man because he paid people to put up billboards that says, look at this. This lovely change. He's found God. Wouldn't it make it even more exciting? Wouldn't it make it even more dramatic? If you went blind from drinking pruno in prison. Comes out Ray Charles, like, learns how to play the piano. There's Diddy. He's figured it out. Redemption. Just a thought. Just a thought. I'd go for the more rancid ones. Cause just. Thank you. Think. Just think of the pity you're gonna get that way. Because narcissists oftentimes when they're going for pity, once they've exercised all options and the pity just ain't there anymore, you know what happens? You know what the next lever to pull is? Illness. Just saying, you haven't pulled that one yet. It's waiting for you. It's ripe ferment, some Skittles, couple oranges, little rubbing alcohol in that. Call, a seasonal flavor of Ciroc just in time for the holidays. Just think, that lands you in a hospital. Diddy. All. All the attention, all the. Oh, my gosh, horrible person. But he didn't need to die. Oh, just saying. PR ideas. What are your thoughts? Tell me in the comment section on YouTube. Until next time, I'm Tony Brusky. We'll talk again.
