The Flo Show, No Filter

Episode: Epstein Files Heat Up
Date: February 3, 2026
Host: Flo

Overview

In this heated and unfiltered episode, Flo dives deep into the fallout from the latest Epstein files release—a 3 million-page document dump implicating numerous high-profile celebrities. Flo challenges the audience to focus on the victims and refuses to shield any celebrity from scrutiny, regardless of their fame or influence. The episode particularly zeroes in on Jay Z, the silence of implicated celebrities, and contrasting responses (notably, Russell Wilson's swift denial), while also exploring the need for independent voices to amplify the stories of those victimized by powerful elites.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Why the Epstein Files Matter

• Focus on Victims, Not Celebrities:
  • Flo passionately emphasizes that coverage of the Epstein files should not be about tearing down celebrities but about giving a voice to countless victims—primarily women and children—who have been ignored or silenced.
  • Quote [11:36]:

    "This Epstein list is just a story to a lot of y’all... But for people like me, the Epstein files is a tragic story that involves a lot of victims who have been silenced, who have been harassed, and allegedly, some of them have been unalived."

2. The Celebrity Response (or Lack Thereof)

• Jay Z’s Silence:

  • Flo notes that while Jay Z has been vocal in defending himself against past allegations (such as those involving Diddy and Harvey Weinstein), he’s been conspicuously silent regarding the Epstein files.
  • Missing from the Grammys: Flo analyzes Jay Z’s and Beyoncé's unusual absence from the Grammys, suggesting it may be tied to the scandal.
  • Quote [24:18]:

    "But when his name came up in the Epstein files, all I hear is crickets."

• How Russell Wilson Set the Example:

  • When implicated by association (allegedly trying to purchase Epstein’s plane), NFL star Russell Wilson immediately issued a public statement shutting down the rumor. This is contrasted with the silence of others.
  • Quote [34:05]:

    “Russell Wilson came out immediately and said, ‘Look, I went through, I was looking for a plane. It was a random plane broker. I didn’t know it was even Epstein’s plane. Never met the man, never knew the man, never was around the man.’ That shut the story down.”

3. Anger at Celebrity Defenders

• Critique of Celebrity Worship:
  • Flo rails against those who rush to protect celebrities online instead of caring about victims.
  • Quote [20:30]:

    "If you coming in here to stand up for celebrities who don’t even have to wipe their own ass and got the whole world at the palm of their hands, well, you in the wrong fucking place. Because that ain’t what I do here."

4. Addressing Accusations of Targeting Black Celebrities

• Flo pushes back on claims that his coverage is focused only on Black men, stating he covers those whose work and lives have directly impacted him and his community, regardless of race.
• He also points out that many victims are Black women and children, raising questions about which voices truly stand up for Black victims.

5. The Ethics and Responsibility of Independent Journalism

• Flo’s Role & Platform:

  • He discusses his career, platform-building, and why he refuses to let trolls or casual followers dictate his content.
  • Flo highlights his history of amplifying overlooked stories, both celebrity and non-celebrity, emphasizing dedication and purpose.

• Quote [54:30]:

  "When you bust your ass and you build something, how would you feel for people to tell you what to do with that when none of them, none of their asses was around when it was being built?"

6. Community and Inclusivity

• Flo underscores that his platform welcomes all backgrounds, ages, and political opinions, so long as they care about victims and the truth.

7. Teaser: What’s Next in the Epstein Saga

• At the episode’s close, Flo shares a tip from a "little birdie" that even more explosive Epstein files are about to be released, suggesting the current revelations are just the beginning.

  • Quote [64:44]:

    "A little birdie has told me that this next batch of Epstein files is going to be worse than anything has been released so far. So we will see what the hell happens.”
