So much different things today. I got all kind of notes today. I said, look, I ain't forgetting today. Today I'm. I'm landing everything that I want to talk about. I got all my notes ready, and we're gonna get into it. Enjoy my weekend. I got. I enjoyed it because I got a lot of work done. I'm gonna talk to you about that. Got an update on the merch. I got a lot of stuff out there. I got to give you all some new news on the merchandise. We're gonna talk about the subs, but Diddy, Diddy, Diddy, Mo Diddy, what is Diddy done did today? We gonna get into that. Diddy is trying to turn this trial and the juror, the juror pool and the jury, he trying to turn it into a corn star convention. And we're gonna get into that. What's up, C Tuck? We're gonna get into. Got a article about the crazy conditions that Diddy is in waiting for his trial. And also, if I can get to it, I got a Luigi update at the end. Hopefully I'm able. I'm able to get to that. But like I said, y'all, here we go on another Monday. Y'all know how it is. Mondays, what we always say. Sometimes you just gotta look Monday, you gotta look Monday. Squaring eyes and say, you know what? Monday, you. You ain't getting me today. Today gonna feel like a Tuesday. I ain't about to be around this, around here, dragging and sulking. Cause it's the beginning of another week. We are all about to kick Monday's ass. Say it with me. So without further ado, the man of the hour, Mr. Diddy Monster. We're gonna get right into it. I got a. I had a couple stories, but I'm gonna save those. I'm gonna say those for the end if we have time. I want to get right into this Diddy mess because it's, it's a lot going on. It's a lot to talk about. And so the sooner we get into it, the better. Oh yeah, real quick. Remember I told y'all how horrible Will Smith's new rap was? Well, y'all know how I always say something when I say stuff, it, it plays out so over the weekend. Do y'all know his new comeback album, Soldier? 268 copies in the UK the first week. A huge flop. I mean, I don't even know if you can call that a flop. I could outsell him right now if I drop something with just y'all go stream my new album. It's better than Will Smith's. That's what it's going to be called. My album going to be titled is hey look, at least it ain't Will Smith. And I know I could sell more than 268 copies. But I told y'all it was horrible. I only brought that to y'all because I told you that opening freestyle that he used to launch that album, man, that was a ear. We call those ear destroyers. Hey look, horrible rap coming to your earlobe eardrums soon from Will Smith. Hide your eardrums. Cause this rap is terrible. Anyway, let's get to Diddy. If I had Will Smith on my list as an enemy, next he gonna be mad at me. They get mad when you don't like they spoiled ass celebrities. That's why they played out. We tired of they spoiled asses. When you put your stuff out there, you know, if it's trash, we can say it's trash. If it's good, we're gonna say it's good. This is trash anyway. Diddy, Diddy, Mo Diddy, y'all. Oh yeah, A little update with Beyonce and Jay Z and Diddy too. But do y'all understand how freaky this trial is about to be? This is not only going to be the trial of the century. After this new news that that has came out, it's so clear what the defense strategy is going to be. And it's so clear what we about to be looking at and hearing, y'all. This is going to be the nastiest trial ever. I can already tell. And we're going to get into that. I'm explaining why I say that. But for the first time the defense, although it is a controversial strategy, for the first time the defense is doing something that actually looks like they kind of know what they're doing, I don't agree with it, but it is a good. A pretty good strategy if you're on Diddy's team and you trying to fight this. But the new strategy is because of. They got a real lawyer who. Who is good at manipulating things. Mr. Garagos. I don't know if you know about Mark Garagos, but ever since he just came on after the RICO guy quit, Mark Garagos came on. I'm gonna get a little bit about Mark Garagos in a minute and explain if y'all don't know about him. But he's pretty good, and he is the best to me. He's the best attorney Diddy has right now, and he has implemented this new strategy. And it's about the jury selection. So let's get into that. So remember, I've been telling y'all on this podcast from the. From what we started October 30th, this has been an amazing journey with y'all as we count down to this trial in October 30, in November, who would have told us this time would go by? Because I was like a man gonna never get here. And I'm like, how can we cover this all the way till May? Well, here we are. We only, like, a few weeks away now. And remember, I told you the most important part of getting a conviction or an acquittal, it all starts at the jury selection. That's where. That's the most important part, I would venture to say the jury selection. The jury you get is 60 to 70% of the reason of the outcome of the verdict. It's huge. So I've been telling y'all that. So now we are here, and you can see the focus they have on jury selection. They doing. They want to. They want a pool of up to 300 to 600 people to choose from. And now they got this strategy, y'all, and this is the strategy. They are trying to make the jury a bunch of. They want to. They want a bunch of freaks as jurors. Diddy and his team, they are asking questions like on the. On the questionnaire, which is 70 questions, which is a pretty long questionnaire for a jury selection. They are asking potential jurors how many. I mean, how do you feel about multiple partners? They're asking them how do you feel about watching freak off tapes, stuff like that. The questionnaire is heavy. Heavy into the sexual topic. It's just. The questionnaire is like reading an adult. Adult movie. Like reading the summaries of it or Something, it's just sex, sex, sex, sex. And you think about it, you say, wow, that's going to turn a lot of jurors off. But see, they ain't worried about that. They want the jury pool full of. They want the juror, the jury that they decide, they want it to be full alike. They want Ron Jeremy's, they, they. You might see Brian Pumper or Wesley Pipes or what, some of the most famous corn stars. That's what they want the jury to be filled up with. Because they know if you are against multiple partners, they know if you turned off by freak off tapes, the defense pretty much knows that you gonna be pushing for a guilty. Cause like the average person, when you look at this questionnaire and it's asking all this freaky ass questions, when you look at it, you might not even know who the person who they talking about. You look at it and say, whoever this is, they guilty. I ain't never seen a jury question a questionnaire asking do I prefer missionary or doggy style. Now they didn't ask that on the jury questionnaire. I just threw that out there. But they're asking all kind of sexual questions, but they don't. So think about it. If you Diddy, you want a bunch of swingers, you want a bunch of freaky deaky people on that jury pool so they can look at your stuff and be like, well, I do that too. Well that ain't that bad. And so they attacking it. Let's get into the article. So I gave you a little, a little, a little, a little break, a little breakdown, a little prelude. But we gonna get into how the article break it down. Who, what, when, where and why. And like I said, be prepared to see some, see if it's up to Diddy's attorney. It's gonna be a bunch of freaks in that jury. That's what they trying for anyway. Diddy's trial. This comes from soap central pop culture. Diddy's trial Freak off tapes reportedly to be considered for the jury viewing. Sean Diddy Combs is facing legal trouble as he has been accused of crimes that include ex trafficking, racketeering, y'all know, all of that. But one key part of this situation is these damn freak off tapes. These tapes are reportedly being considered to be shown to the jury during his upcoming trial. Federal prosecutors say that the tapes show group activity, sexual activity at parties hosted by Diddy. Some of the people involved may not have given consent to be filmed. Others might have been underage or under the influence of drugs. These tapes could help prove the claims of abuse and control made by several witnesses. Diddy's lawyers have been trying to stop the tapes from being shown. They say the videos could unfairly influence the jury. They also claim that the footage does not prove ex trafficking. The trial is expected to begin in May. But according to the Forbes, the supersede indictment came in and gave five new charges. We all went over that. The parties called freak offs allegedly involved drugs, alcohol and group sex. Prosecutors claim that people were sometimes filmed without their knowledge. Some may have even been under age. And these details are are important because they support the claims of coercion and abuse. Now several people have come forward with statements, one of them being member Courtney Burgess. I don't know what the hell happened to him, but I haven't. We haven't heard from him in months and months and months. But he was a witness that said he had flash drives with videos of the events. He says Kim Porter, which is Diddy's late ex partner, gave him the tapes. And Burgess also claimed that the video show famous people and again possibly minors. And according to Economic Times, the tapes are a key part of this case. Prosecutors believe they show that Diddy took part in illegal acts. They want to use the tapes to support the claims made by various witnesses. If accepted by court, the jury will be able to view these freaky tapes. Burgess said those tapes were recorded by hidden cameras in the home. He says they show people who did not know what they were, that they were being filmed. Some people were even allegedly under the influence or too young to give the legal consent. The prosecution says this proves he used power and money to control others. His legal team says the video do not show trafficking. They say the acts were between considering adults. And they are asking the court to block the tapes, claiming they could mislead to a shock in the jury. So all of this and now since they can't get rid of them, they want to have the juror or the jury. They want to have the jury looking at them. So we're gonna have grandmas and grandpas, aunties and uncles watching corn. And like I said, I call it like I see it. And this is the first time, although it is a huge risk and it could blow up in their face, which I think it will. But as far as strategy, this is the best as far as strategy I've even seen out of defense. But like I said, that's all because of Mark Garagos. It's like I don't know if Diddy and I feel like Stevie J went Back to Diddy and said, hey, Diddy, they float. Is saying, yo, it's just dog in your defense team calling him a bunch of car salesmen, used car salesmen. And, and you need to get, you need to step it up and get somebody. So he got rid, he, he, he, he moved Garagos up to the top. Now who is Mark Gerard? Let me give y'all a little background. So y'all gotta watch him now. Like I said, y'all know I've been killing and bashing Diddy's legal team this whole time. But I'm gonna put a little respect on Garago's name. I'm gonna be honest, because he is pretty good at getting things done. And that's all it's about. As a defense attorney. I don't have to like him. You don't have to like him. We discussing the case and he gets things done. So Mark Garagos, just so you know, he's one of the most high profile criminal defense attorneys in the U.S. he's represented many celebrities. Michael Jackson. Garagos represented Michael Jackson in the early two 2003 child, you know, the M Word case before he was eventually replaced by Thomas Mesereau. Also, he defended Winona Ryder. He defended her in 2002 when she was charged with shoplifting from a Saks Fifth Avenue. Another person y'all might know. Y'all ever heard of Chris Brown? Some of y'all might know Chris Brown. Chris Brown. He represented Chris Brown after The the vicious 2009 domestic violence incident with Rihanna. And Garagos helped negotiate a plea deal that kept Chris Brown out of jail. He represent lying ass Jesse Smollett briefly. Scott Peterson, Kobe Bryant in a civil case. Barry Bonds, Nate, Colin Kaepernick. The list goes on and on. I ain't gonna bore you with all of it. I'm just letting you know. The only reason Diddy's legal legal team is starting to look a little more organized or a little more intentional is because of Mark Garagos. And it only brings me back to my point. I ain't the only one who noticed that the legal team, Diddy's legal team was looking like the Three Stooges. Cause he brought Garagos in and now they doing this sexual freaky ass questionnaire for the jurors. I don't agree with it, but if they don't have much, many options. Diddy is look. Diddy pretty much looks as guilty as you could look. And so with limited options, since they can't get rid of the freak off tapes they are by them asking all these sexual questions, it will help them eliminate people who are going to probably be looking at Diddy as a guilty man even from the beginning. Now another thing that nobody has really done no other articles that I wanted to do real quick on this show because you know, we make sure we know what the hell is going on. A lot of people, they don't even explain how the jury pool, how the whole goes. They, you know, people so, so, so trying to get clicks and likes and, and telling the most raunchiest story these days. You don't even get a lot of explanations as far as, you know, the simple things. Everybody don't know how jury selected like really what's going on. And in a case like this, in order to understand, you got to really dig into what the process is. So what they're doing is they take a large group and in this case I've heard anywhere from 300 to 600 people. I don't know how many they're going to do. The defense wants, the more the merrier. Each, each juror gets a questionnaire. They fill out the questionnaire, they answer all the questions and then after they answer the questions, both sides, the, the defense and the prosecution gets to eliminate people. One way to eliminate them, it is for cause. Meaning they can eliminate them because of clear biases or that for some reason that potential juror can't be fair. So that's called a strike. Then they also can do preemptory strikes where it's a limit on that, but they can eliminate, but that means they can just eliminate whoever they want for whatever reason, but they have a limit on that. I had to tell you that so we can understand what the, the strategy now. So Diddy wants a huge jury pool, right? He wants all those 70 questions answered and they're gonna go through. And I'm telling you right now, anybody on that list that's not comfortable with multiple partners, they eliminate. They eliminating them. If you're gonna have a problem watching freak off tapes, the defense is eliminating them. If, if you say, if you're on that questionnaire, if you say I've had multiple partners my whole life or you say hell yeah, I want to watch them freak off tapes. See those the ones the defense want to keep on there. Because for one, if you want to watch the freak off tapes or don't have a problem, you might not necessarily automatically, but you might really be a Diddy fan, you might want to see the freaky tapes. If you've had multiple partners your whole life or don't think nothing is wrong with having multiple sex partners. Then you gonna look at. You could look at what did he's done is, hey, that ain't nothing. That's what me and my boys do every day. And so from that 300, let's just say 300, because 600 seems OD. I think they're going to stick to a 300 pool out of 300. The defense and the prosecution are going to eliminate. Eliminate. Eliminate Lemonade. It's like eliminate y'all remember that show eliminate where it be all these people on the date with one person and then they slowly got eliminated. I miss shows like that anyways, like that. And they're going to keep eliminating the Diddy going to want all the freaky people. The prosecution go want to get rid of all the freaky people. And they going to keep eliminating till they get down to 12. And then of course, they gonna need some juror, some alternates or whatever you want to call them replacements just in case. And so that's how it goes. And I'm sure a lot of y'all out there didn't know exactly how it go. Cause I didn't either. I know they pictures and I knew vague like kind of like around like vaguely what they do, but I didn't really understand the breakdown of exactly how they get down, how they're going to get down to the 12 in this case. And that's how they gonna do it. So like I said, be prepared. When's the last time you heard about jury selection where they asking about and multiple partners and freak off tapes? I'm telling y'all, get ready for the freakiest, craziest trial you ever saw in your life. If you don't understand how freaky this whole thing around Diddy and all of that is. What did I tell you? The one about the story where the guy was with allegedly at a Diddy party dressed up in a penis costume. Remember that one when the last time we had stories like this around a trial? Well, anyway, Jay Z and Beyonce were mentioned in that. In that lawsuit where the guy said Diddy paraded him around at a Diddy party, paraded him around dressed as a cock. And it was crazy. But the part that blew it for me and blew it for him is that he said Jay Z and Beyonce was there. And even I looked up the date and all of that. And Jay Z literally was at a title event. He had just purchased title not too long before that. And so Jay Z And Beyonce weren't there, and they had proof. And then so the guy had to change his story and say they weren't there. But he did. He was dressed like an eggplant. This is real. So this story is so crazy. I don't even understand why so many people with platforms are using clickbait and stuff like, you don't need no clickbait for this. This is the. The truth is crazy enough in this trial. I don't do that clickbait. I. I come with facts, I tell facts, and. And that's that. But this is. I mean, you talking about. You got guys talking about. They are paraded around parties dressed as private parts. But that's why I told y'all, I can't wait to get back into the. I can't wait to get to the real trial, which we're here now. We got a few weeks, but they're gonna be once they start the jury selection and all of that, which is only a couple weeks away. We are on the downhill of this trial that we've been waiting for what it seems like forever. And we here now, and all y'all here with me. I appreciate every last one of y'all for taking this journey with me. This has been a crazy ride. And like I said, as much as even I'm prepared for the craziness that's about to go on, I think it's going to be even crazier, even crazier than I think. And if you want an idea how crazy this is, listen to the articles that are out that are dropping now. New York Post just came with a crazy article about Diddy. When I read the headline, I said, I don't know what the hell this is about, but I gotta bring it to the community. And so here I am. This is from the New York Post and it says Diddy's force. This is about his life in prison right now. Giving us a little peek inside of what's going on as Diddy's in prison waiting on this trial. Some stuff I'm sure you didn't know or would even imagine is going on. They say Diddy is forced to use $1 cans of fish in prison as currency as he awaits his traffic and freak off charges. What the hell is that about? So they say Diddy and his inmates are allowed to spend up to $180 every night using money that loved ones can place in their commissary funds. So there's a limit on money. So no matter how much money you got, you can only spend 186 pack of Snickers sell for $5.95 and Cheez its for $3.65. Shit, that's. That's cheaper than what we paying the way these groceries are. Those are among the snacks that are available to Diddy, it says. It marks a far cry from the world of dripping lobster tails and luxury that Combs was once made a central part of his brand. Government informants and former gang members may be at risk of retributive attacks in general population. They are held in a secure wing where Diddy is on a certain floor with about 19 other people. Diddy, they say has nothing to worry about but except money because there's a limit on it and he's used to having unlimited access. Correction officers oversee multiple compulsory daily check ins with inmates, he explained. The bathroom has stalls and inmates take meals in the common area while they do. While they don't have Internet access, they can watch movies or listen to music on tablets that can be bought at the commissary. Combs meets with his with his legal team frequently behind bars, often in a conference room off the common area in the what they call 4 North. He was provided with a laptop without wi fi so he could go through different evidence prosecutors. Evidence that the prosecutors turned over. His laptop can only be used between the hours of 8am to 3:30pm however combs hair and beard once dyed jet black are now gray as hair dye is not allowed at mdc. No just for mans. You can't have no just for man's in there. And remember, let's stop right there for a second. Remember when all those prosecutors, I mean not prosecutors but all those reporters, like I told y'all, you can't, you can't follow this trial with somebody who don't know nothing about the culture because you only gonna get half the story and y'all already know half the story. But if you remember, remember when Diddy finally popped back out of a few. Well, was it about a month or so ago? And then reporters off law and crime and all the different areas were like Diddy's really aging overnight. He came into the courtroom, his head was fully white, all gray hair. And I came right to the podcast because it was too many people running with that. And I'm like, did y'all not know that Diddy was great during COVID when nobody could buy stuff and go nowhere. And then he dyed his hair like much like most 50 year olds, 40, 50, 60 year olds in the industry and celebrities and it Was so many people running with that sounding so stupid. I had to come to the podcast. If y'all remember. I'm sure y'all remember the episode when I was like look y'all, if you don't know Diddy is all was already gray. Quit listening to people trying to make a big deal because all his head gray. He just didn't have his just for man. Now you just now that was a month and a half or so ago, maybe two months. I know it was a while ago when I said that and when we talked about that. Now here you is and this is the. This is why we kick in the mainstream media's ass. Nah, they now they just now mentioning and finding out that he's not a lot his hair is gray because he's not allowed to diet in the mdc. Oh, y'all just not figured that out. See, I told my people that months and months ago when all y'all was running around just trying to make up stories. It's like because they're not interesting like meaning the people or these old school mainstream media because they're not interesting. They have to exaggerate and make stories out of nothing. I will never do that. I feel like I can make anything interesting so I don't add extras or make up stories just so just for shock value. And so many podcasts and YouTubers do that. They want to make a big story about Diddy's hair being gray so it can look like oh he's aging. Look at his nose. He don't have his fucking just for man. That's all. Next, can we get to some real news and some real facts. So like I said, if you following the Diddy trial, make sure you following somebody of the culture or you're not getting the whole story because it's so much that you miss. If you're not a part about the part of culture, of course you're going to say something like that. So I just thought that that was kind of funny that they're the mainstream media just now realized he couldn't dye his hair and that's why it's great. Let's continue. They said his great. He is not he can't have hair dye. And although toiletries and other items such as watches and radios are available in the commissary now. As a pre trial inmate. Listen to this. As a pre trial inmate, Combs will wear brown jail clothes. The prison canteen has a rotating menu with lasagna and and vegetary pasta fazu on offer every second Friday of the month served with spinach and salad. Now, everybody that I've talked to at the MDC say they a flat lie when they talk about this food. Now, I don't know if Diddy getting special treatment, but I've had so many people DM me every time that they put this message out about the food. They say they have husbands there, they have sons there, they have different people there. And they say they damn near pretty much eat a boiled egg and bread, like they say. Don't believe none of that fool shit they say. So I'm just telling you what I've been told from real people who have people in mdc. Like I said, they call it the tomb, meaning it's literally just a place to die because it's raunchy and trifling and the food is nasty and spoiled, and it just. So many. So I just wanted to add that context, because I remember when I first reported, I think it was People magazine was talking about all this good food that they eat in there. And I'm telling y'all, I had so many DMs, like, Flo, don't believe that article they give. Boy, there's. I got a husband there. I do. I go there every week, and it's. We call it the Tomb. And so I got so many messages like that now when I. Every article, when I see them. And it makes sense, because these prisons have budgets for food, just like they have budgets for all kind of stuff. So if you have budgets for food, right? But you're serving boiled eggs and water, you can't put that in an article. Because whoever's giving you their budget, they're gonna be like, why the hell they not eating lasagna? Or why ain't. What happened to the spinach? So. So to. In order to keep the front up and. And I'm speaking on Diddy could begin special treatment. But I'm really speaking about for all the inmates and putting a real word out there. So y'all know, like, how they treating inmates there according to real people who are going through it. And y'all know this what. That's what this platform is about. What are the real people saying? Whatever the regular Americans are saying in my DMs, especially when it's a whole lot of them saying the same thing, I'm gonna bring it here. And in this particular situation, they say, don't believe this food. Don't believe none of that, fool. They saying. They say the food is trifling. And they said, most of the time is Boiled eggs and stuff like that and water and, and, and just nothing stuff like that. So like I said, I don't know if Diddy getting special treatment but every time I read about all this meals and all this food I'm like, let me make sure I tell y'all what I've been getting DMS and in my Facebook and everything, they lying about their food. They might be kissing Diddy's ass, but they for the regular inmates ain't none of this in there. So visitors are allowed only on Tuesdays. Let's continue. And phone calls are kept at 15 minutes each and can be monitored by the government. Now despite these restrictions, Diddy's life in Fort north will be far less punishing than that of the other parts of of the mdc which I just broke it down to you just being able to interact, play chess and talk makes all the difference in the world. A criminal consultant said. And this actual person spent a year under where did he is not on the level he is but I guess it's another level under now. Combs lawyer have raised no complaints over their clients conditions in the mdc. So lets me know he probably is getting special treatment. But have objected to the monitoring of his communications by the government as well as search of personal notes he kept inside of the unit. Well, tough cookie because that's what everybody go through. Combs has allegedly tapped into the allotted minutes of other inmates phone privileges and has tried to contact potential witnesses through three way calling, according to prosecutors. Did he just ain't gonna stop, is he? Now these modes of communication are common behind bars, his defense has argued. Combs has denied the charges against him. Bam. Just like that did he is going through it. And this is what karma, how karma does. But it is sad. So when we talk about the regular people, you see how this world is. You see how you know Diddy's team, they've been complaining about everything. But the fact that they haven't complained one time or did any complaining about Diddy's conditions lets you know how we treat people with money and power versus how we treat the average everyday person. So did he might be get. He probably is getting lasagna and this and that or whatever. I can't say. But judging from what his legal team is not complaining about, since they're not complaining, he probably is getting that food. But then when I hear everyday average Americans saying that their son or their boyfriend or their husband is damn near dying in the MDC and that the food is terrible, they say it's fucking Maggots, they say. Like I said, they just nicknamed it a tomb that tells you all you need to know. A tomb. You know what a tomb is? So as we continue, we're like, will he get special treatment during this trial? I'm sure, I'm sure he will. But that's just how the lay of the land. That isn't even nothing particular, just to Diddy, you know, we just live in a world where if you have money and power and people know you, we as a society, or should I say the system in place is going to give you preferential treatment. We just got to deal with it. We just got to deal with it. So the Diddy trial is heating up. The Diddy trial is going to be the first trial that is literally, I think I would say calling it rated R wouldn't even be good enough. This is rated X. This is going to be, people are going to be watching adult movies in the trial. I can only imagine what's going to be said. People are going to cover your kids ears and just listening to recaps. But I'm looking forward to getting out there. Like I said, I will go to the trial. I'm going to pick, I'm going to pick when I want to go. I don't know when I'm going to go, but I am going to go out there at least for a few days and see it for myself. I'm looking forward to that. This gonna be a big one. This gonna be a big one and I'm glad to be able to share and talk to it with a great community. I would have never guessed that there would be so many people who are on the same page as me that just want the facts, want to keep it straight and want justice for those hurt and, and, and they, we ain't got to do all that bickering and, and all that toxic arguing. I never thought it was so many people that thought like me to be honest. I thought you had to have all type of controversy. I had, I thought you and your community, everybody got to be arguing and, and you know how most of these communities are. And so I just don't want, never wanted to be a part of that. So I didn't start this thinking it was going to be catching on like wildfire. I didn't, I didn't think it was so many people who thought like that. So just enjoying to have a bunch of people who think and we all on the same page about, you know, how we feel about this and that and, and, and, and you know we're not judging each other. It's all about love and everybody's just looking out for everybody. So I appreciate that. And, and, and, and now we got to do what we always do. We're gonna get to Luigi. They are making a strong op situation, right? It's a strong situation going on right now and people have, people are very opinionated on. I want to, we need to talk about it. And it's concerning the death penalty of trying to put Luigi to death, giving him the death penalty. If you don't remember or don't know know, I'm sure everybody knows. But Luigi is about to go on trial for the, for being, for allegedly killing Brian Thompson who was the CEO of UnitedHealthcare. And they are trying to put Luigi to death to make an example out of him. But the, the, the, the, they are coming for this lady. So we're gonna get into that. But before we get into that Luigi situation real quick, y'all know what we gotta do. We gotta give a shout out to everybody who is making this possible. And when, and when I say the people that are making it possible, I'm talking about the subscribers. The subscribers allow us to come have our own platform. This is the people's platform. We talk about what we want to talk about and we give the facts. We don't need to pander anybody. And the way we're able to do that and the way where we are going to continue to be able to do that is being a self sufficient podcast, meaning subscribers and people supporting the merch store on and I don't like it.com and so every, every, every show we take a second to give flowers to those who deserve them. And today, today's subscriber of the day. I love her name. I love her name. Subscriber today with a three dollar donation. She subscribed and she is a part of the flow show subscriber family. This show today is brought to you by Leah Sponberg. Leah Sponberg Spunberg, come on down. Everybody. Thank Leah. In the comments, Panzia said he they will be subscribing soon. I appreciate y'all, appreciate you. But everybody clap it up for Leah. Leah, much love to you for subscribing and keeping this going. Like I said, y'all, I need everybody subscribing. We want to do more. We want to continue to grow. But the subscribers are really the secret sauce and the key to this whole show. This show is not what it is. Without subscribers, this show would be vanilla. You might as well Watch cnn because that's the type of show you gotta have when you gotta defend depend on sponsors. So, Leah, and let me tell you real quick, Leah, why I love that name. Do you know my first ever girlfriend in the whole wide world, I was in fifth grade, I was too young to be having a girlfriend. I don't know what my fast butt thought I was doing, but her name was Leah. So shout out to Leah, my first ever girlfriend in my life. And here you go, Leah, a subscriber. So every time I see that name, I think of my first girlfriend. So, Leah, thank you for subscribing. Everybody shout out. Everybody shout out. Shout out. Leah. And thank her because she is responsible for today's episode. Now, before we Luigi. Oh, oh, shoppers. Let me shout out Shopper of the Day too. I forgot Mona, Mona, Mona. How could I forget Mona, Mona, Mona. Thank you for the purchase at the end. I don't like his store. Also, she's been a. A good supporter. Matter of fact, fun fact on Mona, like I think I told you, Mona was the very first subscriber. She subscribed in this. This podcast started in October 30th. Mona probably subscribed the first week of November, and I didn't even know what the hell I was going to be doing. I didn't even ask for any subscribers. And Mona subscribed all the way and has been a subscriber to this day. And I didn't start offering subscriptions or really talking about them until January. And that's when I figured that was going to be the best situation for us in order to keep growing and keep talking and not having to use so many code words and being able to cuss out whoever needs to be cussed out, cussed out, or cooked. I don't know why y'all love when I cook, folks. So I'm starting to have a section where I'm gonna call it Flows Kitchen, where I'm gonna figure out who getting cooked today in the celebrity world or whoever. Because I'm telling you one thing, they don't want it with me. They know I know I ain't no joke. So they leave me alone unless they want to get cooked. So I say all that to say, thank you, Mona. Thank you, Leah. And y'all need to thank them because it's because of them, we, we, we are thriving and able to do what we do. But Luigi, do y'all remember the lady Pam Bondi that told us that the lists were coming? It was whispers that the Diddy list and The Epstein list. And then Pat, Pam Bondi made a big statement about it and nothing really ever happened. And then when they brought out whatever the Epstein stuff they brought out was the same we already saw. And it's like, it's just been a big charade. Well, she's back at it. And they say Pam Bondi wants to execute Luigi for Instagram likes and clout. They saying she wants to execute Luigi as a. Basically a political stunt. She's using this to. She's using another man's life. In her eyes, that's expendable. She's using that life to level up her own self. Couldn't be me. Let's get into this article. So defense attorneys for Luigi are arguing that Attorney General. Attorney General Pam Bondi is seeking the death penalty for their client as content, and I quote for a new Instagram account. This is sickening. She ordered the death penalty and publicly released her order so she would have content for her newly launched Instagram account. Sickening. The defense is asking the court to block the government from seeking a death penalty. They argue that Bondi's announcement of the move was a political statement stunt and that she failed to indicate Luigi's presumption of innocence. You see why we need platforms like this? You see, I got just for doing what I'm doing right now, just educating you on what articles are saying. Tick Tock banned me for talking about Luigi, which is why I ain't gonna never stop talking about Luigi. You got me up. Ain't nobody gonna tell me what I can Talk about. Fuck TikTok and any platform like it. I am going to continue to address what needs to be addressed. If you. If you mad because I'm just merely educating the people and telling them what's going on. Straight from articles. All of my shit comes from articles. So if you banning me, you basically showing. Hey, y'all. Showing y'all hand. Y'all proving me right. They say that her death. We back to the article. They say that her death penalty media blitz on April 1st has prejudiced the potential pool of grand jurors against their client, who has yet to even be indicted on federal charges. The stakes could be higher. Could not be higher. The lawyer said the United States government intends to kill Mr. Luigi as a political stunt. The Justice Department did not immediately respond to Daily Beast's request. Luigi, a former Ivy Leaguer, stands accused of. You know what. Bondi issued a press release, appeared on Fox News and posted on her her new Instagram account. San Louis. San Luigi Magione's. Murder of Brian Thompson, an innocent man and a father of two young children, was a premeditated, cold blooded assassinated that shocked America. After careful consideration, I have directed federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty in this case as we carry out President Trump's agenda to stop violent crime. To stop violent crime and make America safe again. Now let me tell you something. To be an Attorney General now me as a freaking podcaster, I have to say Diddy says he's, he's, he's innocent. He's pled not guilty. I have to give disclaimers. I have to kind of give both sides. I give my opinion, but I'll let you know what's going on with the defense and the prosecution. I'm just a fucking podcaster. This is an Attorney General that makes a statement on their Instagram page, and the whole statement is supposed to be for shock value. She didn't say is allegedly or. Or is charged with the murder of Brian Thompson. No, no, no, no, no. This is your Attorney General saying Luigi Maggiones murder of Brian Thompson, an innocent man and father of two, was premeditated and cold blooded. But I thought you was innocent until proven guilty. Even in the Diddy case, in my opinion, I think he guilty, right? But I'm still on the podcast, waiting for the trial, giving both sides and letting everybody know, even as we cover every article that I read, for the most part, letting y'all know dds pled guilty, innocent to prove guilty. I just think he guilty, right? Well, here is an Attorney General putting out a statement like that, not even saying allegedly they do what the fuck they want to do. Whether you think it's horrible what Luigi did or whether you find that it is, it was, it is karma from all the shady stuff that go on in healthcare. I'm not here to argue that right now. I'm just here to argue the double standard of how an Attorney General can just flat out call somebody who hasn't even been to trial, hasn't been convicted. How they can literally make a statement like this. This is an Attorney General, not a. Not a YouTuber or not a podcaster, not a content creator. An Attorney general making a careless statement like that and getting away with it and posting it on Instagram. Now I post some shit like that, they gonna want to ban me if I just said this happened. According to her post, Luigi did it. No trial, no anything. That's irresponsible and that's a double standard. And it looks bad and it doesn't do anything but make everybody Else say, well, shit, we can say whatever we want. If the Attorney General don't gotta say allegedly. Don't have to say innocent to proven get. It's a couple words they could have put. She could have put in that statement and made it decent. But if she don't have to, why the fuck do I or anybody else podcast on a YouTube and a content creator? Why can't just come on here and be like, yeah, Diddy did it. He. He. He did this, he did that. Ain't no way. Hey, guilty. Forget it. He already get. Why. Why we can't do that. Why. Why does the Attorney General get to just make statements like that? I don't know, y'all. It's just. It ain't right. But anyway, Luigi Maggione's murder, murder of Brian Thompson will be going to trial. Now, will there. Will he get the death penalty or not? I don't know. I mean, meaning is I should say this. Is the death penalty going to be on the table or not? I don't know. But we shall see. And like I said, Pam, we just waiting for the list that you told us about. You told us there was a list coming out. We've been waiting for the Diddy list, Epstein list. It ain't. You ain't doing none of that. You. You pushing. You trying to blow your Instagram up. You trying to get a lot of followers. I don't need my Attorney General trying to get a lot of followers. I don't know about y'all. I just need them to be doing their job. Like I always say, no excuses. And I want to leave you with this. One of the. One of the. The. The. The most impactful things that my father taught me, and I taught it to my son. And I encourage anybody out there to teach this and drill this into your child because it's. It's life changing. And y'all heard me talk about it, but I can never talk about it as much as too much. And. And it's the idea that no excuses, only solutions. See, the big reason why I'm where I am today through the hard work, is because I don't accept any excuses, only solutions. But when I was a kid, I was an excuse maker. Oh, as long as I had a great excuse that made me feel good about lackluster performance or being mediocre or not getting this done or not getting that done, I was a little kid, and when my dad wouldn't accept my excuses, it would make me cry. Because the next thing for making excuses is you Want to be a victim. So now you want to cry. So I'm talking from experience of knowing that my dad drilling into me lose excuses are for losers. And really drilling that into me got that out of me. That by the time I became a young man, I have never made. I don't make no fucking excuses for anything. I do what needs to be done and that's that. And I see so many people, people around me, people I just watch. The number one thing that's hold you back, that holds people back is because they lean on excuses and don't even realize it. See, they already have in the back of their mind that they can come up with a good excuse and that's good enough so they don't get shit done. They lean on their excuses. See, excuses leads to depression. Excuses lead to misery. See, excuses are a temporary high. They are a temporary satisfaction. So when you don't get shit done, if you got a good excuse that you can tell people they good with that I didn't get this shit done, but at least I had a good excuse. But guess what? That, that fades quickly. And then your subconscious, you feel like a slacker. And over time those excuses just pile up, pile up, pile up. And then now you just sunken in misery because you're not putting the work in you letting excuses hold you back. See, being happy is hard work. It takes hard work. So people ask me or they say, flo, you always upbeat, you always happy, you always bring joy, you always this, you always that. Well, let me tell you the secret. I bust my ass. I don't take no excuses for shit. Either it needs to get done, either it's done or it ain't. If it ain't, why not? It should be done. That's how I live my life. Well, guess what happens. Yeah, it's the opposite of making excuses. It's harder at first. It takes a lot of work to not make no excuses and just get this shit done right. But the end result of that is you always happy about what the fuck is going on around you and you don't have no regrets. Because wherever you may fall short at in your mind, you did every thing possible to make it happen. And there's nothing else you could have did. So you stay upbeat. Now contrast that to excuse makers. Now these excuses, they held them over for a little while. But when all of this hit the fan and you ain't getting done, now you feeling depressed and you don't know why. You are depressed because you can fool the world, but you can't fool yourself, yourself know that you ain't doing shit but making excuses. And that is why. And so I'm telling you, especially for little boys or men, I don't care how much they fight you. I don't care how much they cry. Drill into them the idea that in this world there's only solutions and excuses. You don't want to be one living in excuses. It's a miserable life. You want to be the one that just say, how the fuck can I get this done? Nobody wants to hear excuses. And I say all that to say because that literally, if my dad did not get that excuse making crap out of me when I was a kid, I wouldn't be here in front of y'all right now. I wouldn't have achieved anything noteworthy. Because excuse making and living in excuse making is a real sickness, y'all. I'm telling you from experience. See, I can speak on it because I was born as an excuse maker as a child. And when you didn't accept my excuse, I would cry. But lucky for me, my family didn't believe that, didn't let me live in that shit. My family would just keep saying, no excuses, get it done or be a slacker. But don't think your excuses. They used to say, don't think. The people that you telling your excuses to, don't think they ever believe them. That's just you. You faking your own self out. They might not even say nothing when you give them that. Well, why they ain't done. I didn't get this yet. You were supposed to send me that. I couldn't. Cause I had something to do. And it got. I ran out of time. And then the person say, okay. But in the back of their mind, they just know you full of. They ain't gonna tell you that. You walk away thinking you, oh, good, got an excuse out the way. I'm good. No me get this done. You're gonna feel way better now. Why? Where did that story come from? There's so many things, but I'm gonna give you an example. There are some orders that were delayed for the merch. Big delay. So over the weekend. Now, y'all know I make hella content during the week. I'm the hardest working podcast or content creator you'll ever see. Because my people, my listeners, my fans, y'all get new content from me every day. In the last two and a half years, there has probably been four days total out of four out of damn near a thousand days. There have been four days total that I Didn't drop some new content. This is why I'm crushing my competition. My people see new from me every day. So with that rigorous content schedule that I have, my weekends are important for me to recharge so I can continue to be fresh, continue to have the energy to do what I do. Well, this weekend, I couldn't rest. You know why? There were orders. Too many orders delayed on the merchants, on the merch. On my merch store. So I worked all weekends getting merchandise out. I don't even. That's not my job. But it is now because I don't fucking play around with shit not getting done done right, period. I wasn't raised like that. I don't put my name on shit like that. So I'm gonna be straight up honest with y'all. This is gonna be a tough week for me because I got literally no rest. I did a full week of doing two hours worth of content on a show and doing two hours worth of content on social media all week. Then I had to bust my ass all weekend. Couldn't go do stuff. My friends were hanging out, wanted me to come. I couldn't do. Why? Because I'm doing merchandise and getting these orders out, and it's not even my job. But it is now. I don't make no excuses. I feel good today. You know why? Because Heather been waiting. I got her order out myself. Emily Lanez, I'm sorry if I'm saying it wrong. Your order is on the way. Laura, your orders on the way. Ashley hall, your orders on the way. Yvonne, Asiana and Monique. I will get on yours this week to get that out. I don't give a if I got to work from 4am to 3 to 3am, get an hour's sleep, wake up and get back to this show. As long as my people are taken care of. And what I got my name on is running the way it's supposed to run. I don't have to name names. I don't have to say nothing. Because it ain't about naming names. It's not about excuses. I just don't make them. I only have one option, and that's get it done. Thank you for the super chat or something. Hold on. What was that? I saw something green. Did y'all see that? I hope I missed. What did I miss? I missed something in the chat. But anyway, I just get it done. And so I say all that. Y'all know I'm straightforward with y'all. I don't hide nothing. I don't sugarcoat Nothing. But I'm telling y'all right now, I just added a new thing to my list. Y'all know I do. I do everything myself. Anyway, from here on out, I will be handling all the new orders, all my merch, and everything will be out asap. You will get your shit fast because I don't fuck around like that. And that's just me tell my listeners. Y'all know I don't sugarcoat nothing. I don't. I don't lie. I like to tell.

Look forward to people learning how to use the super chats and all of that next tomorrow, we'll get into all of that. But the bottom line is, y'all, I'm telling you the most. One of the most important things you can teach to your young child that will change their life is get them excuses about it. I'm telling you, telling you. I plead with you because I was that excuse maker. I was that person as a child, like I said. And if you didn't. If you didn't like my excuse, then I had the tears ready to drop, too. Here come the tears. If the excuse don't work, the tears should get you. And I thank God Almighty himself that I had a father and I had a family and I had uncles and I had a mom, and I had all type of people in my life that wouldn't let me succumb to that excuse. And it changed my life, it changed my trajectory, it changed my inner peace. And if my parents didn't do that and my family didn't do that. I don't know where I would be right now. Bye, as always. I love y'all, but I'm out.
