The Flo Show, No Filter
Episode: Chappelle, Diddy, And The Redactness
Host: Flo
Date: December 22, 2025
Overview
In this candid holiday episode, Flo dives into three headline stories that dominated the cultural and news landscape: Dave Chappelle’s surprise Netflix special “The Unstoppable,” the disillusionment over the heavily redacted Epstein files, and the latest jaw-dropping allegations against Diddy, including claims from adult performer Sly Diggler. Flo delivers his signature unfiltered analysis, connecting humor, politics, and social critique, all while interacting live with a vibrant chat community.
Key Discussion Points & Insights
1. Dave Chappelle’s Secret Netflix Special – “The Unstoppable”
(Begins ~08:00, deep dive from 17:00)
- Flo highly recommends the newly dropped Dave Chappelle special, describing it as “a raw, unfiltered cultural reset we didn’t know we needed” (17:45).
- Chappelle tackles the assassination of conservative pundit Charlie Kirk, drawing sharp lines between Kirk and Martin Luther King Jr., rejecting media hyperbole (“No, he’s not. That’s a reach.” — Chappelle, as quoted by Flo at 23:10).
- Flo echoes Chappelle’s skepticism about the official stories and inside job theories around political assassinations, seeing parallels in responses to MLK and Kirk’s deaths (25:10).
- Chappelle’s irreverence for “walking on eggshells” resonates deeply with Flo, who sees himself as a kindred spirit in unapologetic truth-telling:
“I don’t walk on eggshells. I stomp eggshells. I don’t walk on pins and needles. I stomp pins and, and so does Dave Chappelle.” (41:05)
- Chappelle’s criticism of American hypocrisy — particularly about “freedom” and cashing Saudi checks — is highlighted with:
"I’ll take money from Saudi Arabia any day just so I can say no over here. It feels good to be free." (as paraphrased by Flo, 30:55)
- The discussion expands into the challenge and necessity of provocative comedy, likening Chappelle’s role to truth-telling platforms:
“Comedy isn’t meant to be safe. It’s meant to be a mirror. And breaking the mirror doesn’t change the reflection. Dave Chappelle proves once again why he is the undisputed heavyweight champion of stand up.” (43:30)
- Listeners in chat compare Chappelle to George Carlin and mention Josh Johnson as the Carlin of today (55:12).
Memorable Moment:
Dave Chappelle’s recounting his visit to Diddy’s house — only understanding in hindsight he was nearly swept into a “freak off” — delivers big laughs:
“He said it’s only creepy when he looked back in hindsight... Diddy started twirling his drink: ‘What are you into?’” (58:34)
2. Diddy Allegations & Sly Diggler’s Claims
(Segment starts ~54:15)
- Flo covers the viral Vlad TV interview with adult performer Sly Diggler, who claims he participated in an encounter set up by Diddy and 50 Cent’s baby mama.
- Diggler alleges he signed an NDA, Diddy directed the roleplay, and Diggler “accidentally” recorded incriminating footage (1:02:20).
- The host stresses this is another dark chapter for Diddy, saying “Diddy getting everything he got coming to him” and expressing disbelief at Diddy’s repeated risky behavior (1:05:30).
- Mark Curry (former Bad Boy rapper) is referenced saying Diddy’s current legal situation is simply keeping him in place for further charges (1:07:15).
- Flo jokes about karma and 50 Cent’s apparent joy lately, describing a personal vendetta:
“50 Cent will not stop until Diddy is completely stomped for good.” (1:11:10)
- Concludes that Diddy was the “Epstein of the music industry,” signaling a reckoning long overdue.
3. Epstein Files Disappointment & Lack of Transparency
(Starts ~37:40; returns at 1:15:20 and 1:25:22)
- Flo vents about the “nothing burger” of the recently released Epstein files due to heavy redactions:
“They blacked out everything. They say they feel like all the Republican got blacked out. ... What good is it?” (39:00)
- Both political parties are blamed for years of stonewalling:
“If anybody want to stand 10 toes in these comments and say they have been transparent about this Epstein situation from day one, let us know in the comments... There has been very little transparency.” (1:25:22)
- Highlights government hypocrisy in contrast to quick public releases in mass shootings, noting the double standard when powerful men are involved (1:27:57).
- Discusses vanishing files, such as photos linking prominent figures (Trump, Clinton, the Pope), fueling further skepticism.
- Flo takes pride in covering the Epstein story despite social media bans and lost income:
“I got my account banned and back from covering the Epstein case four, five years ago… lost income, lost pages, lost all kind of stuff speaking on this Epstein stuff.” (1:30:10)
Notable Listener Quote:
“As Denise says: ‘Powerful men are involved and there is a cover up.’ I think that’s a great way to just sum it up.” (1:33:45)
Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments
- On Chappelle’s Unapologetic Style:
“I love Dave Chappelle because he brings it to the forefront, the hypocrisy... Someone will be hypocritical in real time these days and not even notice it.” (41:57)
- On Cancel Culture and Free Speech:
“You come on my platform, giving your opinion, but acting like I can't give my opinion on my own platform. Make that make sense, y’all.” (43:15)
- On Industry Scandal:
“Diddler was the Epstein for the music industry. Yes, indeed.” (1:12:24)
- On Failed Promise of Government Transparency:
“Every time we have a crime that can help the Democrats or Republicans, we know everything in 24 hours... but when it comes to Epstein, we still don’t know nothing.” (1:28:35)
