Main Theme

Examining Power and Influence in Hip Hop & Media—Is Jay-Z Intimidating Critics?
Flo and C. Tuck explore the idea that Jay-Z allegedly pressures journalists and commentators who speak critically about him, using the Michael Eric Dyson/Kendrick Lamar and Drake debate as a case study.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Jay-Z, Michael Eric Dyson, and Media Intimidation

• Recap of Dyson/Jay-Z Incident (08:02–20:14):
  • Michael Eric Dyson compared Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” to Donald Trump’s rhetoric, which Jay-Z vehemently disagreed with.
  • Dyson recounted Jay-Z’s strong, “vigorously argued” rejection of Dyson’s take in a private exchange—later modified after further contact from Jay-Z.
  • Dyson stated:

    "He vigorously disagreed... He articulated his ideal intelligently... he was respectful... not arrogant... But he did not get nasty and vicious with me." —Michael Eric Dyson (13:09)

  • After posting about the call, Jay-Z reportedly reached out a second time, prompting Dyson to publicly recant or soften his depiction.
• Flo’s Take:
  • Flo suggests Jay-Z’s reaction “adds credence to the idea that Jay-Z is a bully behind the scenes.”

    “If he will do that about a Kendrick Drake beef comment... imagine what kind of phone calls the Breakfast Club might get.” (19:11)

  • Dyson's apology video interpreted as evidence of intimidation; it reinforces rumors of Jay-Z intimidating journalists or media personnel.

2. The Meaning of Power and Pressure (20:14–34:20)

• Jay-Z’s selective focus: Quick to pressure over hip hop debates, silent on more serious allegations (e.g., Epstein files).
• C. Tuck:

  “You calling and scaring the hell out of this little minister for an opinion on rap beef and Trump... but you ain’t made no calls about being in the Epstein files and try to clear none of that up.” (25:07)

• Flo details why these intimidation allegations matter—especially as they relate to media coverage of powerful figures (“rabbit ears”).

3. Systemic Failures: Cleveland Tragedy & Father’s Rights (37:36–47:41)

• C. Tuck brings up a local Cleveland case involving a mother accused of killing her two children, and how the system repeatedly ignored the father’s attempts to gain custody.
• Flo:

  “We gotta get dads a little more credit or a little more power, man, in this system.” (43:04)

• Discussion highlights how the justice system often dismisses fathers’ concerns, revealing deep and harmful institutional biases.

4. Skyrocketing Gas Prices: Real-World Pressure (47:48–58:48)

• C. Tuck: Updates on global tensions, missile strikes, and the direct impact on gas prices, now soaring nationwide.
• Gas price check-in: Listeners contribute their local prices, with some reporting jumps of up to $8/gallon in California.
• Flo’s economic take:

  “We already trying to fight with the inflation that we already dealing with in the grocery stores and all that other...” (53:14)

• Real-life adaptation: Community shares strategies like working from home, using electric bikes, or starting small homesteads.

[Flow]

Okay, it worked. Y'.

[C. Tuck]

All.

[Flow]

Happy belated birthday. Grandma had.

[C. Tuck]

Kathy had a great man. Flow. You. You wasn't on your job, man, how you gonna. I told you supposed to go to the game and let them know, like, hey, this is my birthday weekend. Y' all posed to win. You. You ain't. So it ain't all the cast. You ain't do.

[Flow]

Yo, you ain't.

[C. Tuck]

You ain't. Let them know. You supposed to be Flow. Let them know.

[Flow]

Man, we was late. We had stopped, had some mimosas at House of Creole. Man, we ended up being a little bit late to the game, but I got there about 10. It was about nine, 10 minutes in the first. Like, we went super late.

[C. Tuck]

I was a Creole food, good as.

[Flow]

Oh, man.

[C. Tuck]

And that outside. And it was nice, too. So y' all probably able to sit outside?

[Flow]

Yeah, well, we didn't sit outside, but, yeah, when they get warm up. Yeah, yeah, when they warm up, man, we definitely be back. And we were going back to a Cavs game. She loved it. So we go home. We going, right? But we're going to another game.

[C. Tuck]

Hey, especially that. Oh. From that hardened through the mother.

[Flow]

Oh, my God. That was crazy.

[C. Tuck]

I didn't know, man.

[Flow]

What is Harden doing, man?

[C. Tuck]

Hey, I seen it. I'm like. It was like. You had. It was moving faster than the camera. I'm like, yeah. Oh. Then I just see Evan Moby just jump out of nowhere. That looked like they photoshopped him in the video.

[Flow]

Yeah, they came out flat in the first half. That's all. Like, they didn't come out. That's all it was.

[C. Tuck]

It was Donovan first game back, too, and all that.

[Flow]

So. Yeah. Yeah, you could tell. I ain't even worried. And of course, Jared Allen is huge. Now you see how big not having him is.

[C. Tuck]

Yep.

[Flow]

And so before I go into everything, but the real reason a big thing was they came out flat. And they didn't come out with a purpose. Cause it was too many schers. And what's that big dude name? It was too many of them shooting in the first half. We playing Celtics. They were just throwing, you and they changed it up in the second half, but that's why I said, we good. I didn't go away from that game thinking, oh, man, we can't mess with them. You know what I'm saying?

[C. Tuck]

Yeah.

[Flow]

No.

[C. Tuck]

Oh, no, no. Oh, no, no. They just got one up then. Yeah, they just got Jason Tatum back, so he already got a chip on his shoulder.

[Flow]

Yeah.

[C. Tuck]

So. Yeah, ain't no, we ain't tripping about it.

[Flow]

Yeah, we ain't tripping. But anyway, y' all see Tuck, y' all got him up here. Y' all kept requesting us a gentle bun. Said she loved mimosas. Oh, yeah, we love mimosa.

[C. Tuck]

Hey, for sure, I like that. I like the regular ones, but I. I like the cranberry one.

[Flow]

Oh, the cranberry. The cranberry one. I. I think I gotta try that one. But we had a peach one.

[C. Tuck]

Damn good.

[Flow]

We had. I was down so fast. I don't. If Shawna didn't like it, then I drink hers too. Then she get a peach, because sh. Like, specific stuff.

[C. Tuck]

She be like, the creep up on you, too.

[Flow]

Hell, yeah.

[C. Tuck]

You be like, yeah. Oh, this ain't bad. Then you be up there sweating, taking off layers.

[Flow]

And so if you're in the Cleveland area, go to House of Creole, y'. All. Great mimosas, great seafood. I got steak and eggs. That was good. Just a good time, man. But let's get to this, Jay Z. I mean, we're gonna talk about all kind of stuff, but I thought. I thought we would lead off with this little crazy Jay Z story because it kind of just kind of confirms what everybody say about Jay Z. Now, if you missed it, Michael Dyson, the author, Baptist minister, public figure, had said some had kind of compared Kendrick Lamar to Trump in a way, and Jay Z didn't like it, I guess. And Jay Z called him to. And disagreed with him. But then Michael Dyson came to the Internet and talked about it, and to me, he didn't really say nothing. Too bad, I ain't think. But he. He said that Jay Z vigorously argued with him. Or. Or. Or. Or. Or said he didn't agree with him. And it kind of implied that Jay Z was aggressive. So after. After Michael Dyson dropped that video, Jay Z called him again and told him he didn't appreciate. He made him sound like he was aggressive and made him come back and drop another video. In this video of Michael Dyson, like he was scared out of his dream draws. Like I said. What did you say? What did he say to this Man. So I'm. I'm trying to find the original because it's been hard for me to find, like, I'm like, did they scrub the Internet or something? Trying to find the original. Okay, here it is. Here it is. This is what. This is Michael Dyson and what he said originally and explicitly like us. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.

[Michael Eric Dyson]

Perfect anthem for the present president, for all those people explicitly and explicitly. Not like us is a perfect anthem for the present president, for all those people who think it's so revolutionary.

[C. Tuck]

Oh, my God.

[Flow]

Not like us.

[Michael Eric Dyson]

And they're dancing. Why do you think that song was so popular? I was at the super bowl when Kendrick Lamar performed on field, and the orange apparition was in. Was in the stands, and I didn't see a radical dissimilarity between that song and the theme of this man's presidency. You are not like us. You are, you know, Somalian. You are Ethiopian. You are Eritrean, you are, you know, Mexican. You are whatever. Fill in the blank. You are Haitian. And so to me, that very theme. Forget the song. The song is the song.

[Flow]

Okay? So whatever that take is. So first, before we go to Jay Z, scaring him straight for whatever reason, like I said, now, the whole point of me even covering this is just to put on the. To. To show the point of what everybody makes where they say, Jay Z is the type that will definitely call you immediately if he don't like something and make you change your. Your stance or put some little pressure on you. What do you even think about what he was saying, though? I don't even really. I mean, I understand what he was saying, but I don't really. It don't move me.

[C. Tuck]

I mean, it don't. It don't move the needle for me neither. Even his comparisons, I think, were kind of lightweight of reach. Like, how could. How could that. How that song correlating with the presidency for real?

[Flow]

Right?

[C. Tuck]

Like, it's like you kind of trying to justify wrong, too, right? Like, yeah, so he.

[Flow]

It.

[C. Tuck]

That. That's like a. That's a statement that got layers that got to get unpacked about that. But other than that, hey, I mean, I wouldn't get upset about it.

[Flow]

Right, exactly.

[C. Tuck]

And threatening yourself.

[Flow]

So Chat and Apple and. And Spotify to everybody out there. Then after that, Michael Eric Dyson revealed in another video that Jay Z personally reached out to him and strongly pushed back against Dyson's criticism of how Kendrick Lamar handled the feud with Drake. So they were talking about the feud with Drake And Trump, like kind of all that he talked about a lot. We didn't have time to play the guy's whole interview or whatever.

[Michael Eric Dyson]

And.

[Flow]

And so Dyson said that Jay Z vigorously disagreed with his comments about Kendrick attempting to strip Drake of his blackness during the beat, as well as the pedophilia accusations that circulated about Drake during the clash. This. This was his. And this is him telling that. This is. This is Michael Dyson ain't that serious.

[Michael Eric Dyson]

And that's not what's going on. My job is a scholars to show you that stuff you didn't think was that serious might be a bit more serious than you think. I could be wrong, to be sure. So I don't say it with the kind of arrogance that some of my interlocutors on the Internet have suggested. And let me tell you something, a very dear and good friend of mine disagrees with me bitterly. Well, I won't say bitterly, just aggressively and vigorously. His name is Sean Carter, better known as Jay Z. Now, I don't usually talk about the conversations that Jay Z and I have because that's between us. That's why we remain friends, because I ain't out here blabbing about what we talk about. But he hit me up and he vigorously disagreed with my particular position. He said it was dignity. He said it was respect. He articulated his ideal intelligently. I responded to him. We went back and forth for a minute and I shared with him my essay, the 3000 some word essay I wrote in the Philadelphia paper where I break down what's going on between Kendrick and Drake. And he was respectful. What I love about Jay is that he's not arrogant. He's got more reason to be arrogant than anybody we talking to, including myself on this darn Internet. And yet in social media, and yet he chose to be gracious, vigorous, clear, transparent about his disagreements. But he did not get nasty and vicious with me. So the point is that I'm saying we can disagree with each other, not be nasty. I understand a rap battle is a rap battle and you try to exploit your opponents, if it will, vulnerabilities. But in an age of social media, it gets different when you call somebody a pedophile or when you make arguments about domestic violence. I understand that it gets different when it resonates in a cultural vacuum or in a cultural arena where the MeToo movement, the progressive ideas of misogyny and sexism and patriarchy prevail, where we are far more sensitive and culturally appropriately so aware of the various forms of hurt and pain that women have to endure and that gender plays a role that we have historically ignored. All that is true.

[Flow]

Okay, so from that video where he is explaining what Jay Z called and, and disagree with him with and so on and so forth forth, after that video, Jay Z called him again and checked him because he felt like he said he was. He made Jay Z sound aggressive or something or like he came aggressive to him. And I don't know if maybe he also felt the way about him even saying that he talked to Jay Z about, or like Jay Z's opinion or whatever. I don't know to me, if Jay Z called him and checked him about that or, or, or, or whatever to meet out. Might have to meet out a little overboard. Like, I wouldn't, I would have just left that alone. I don't know. But what you think about that?

[C. Tuck]

I mean, it was like, just like I was saying earlier that that would have been like, even me and him was cool. That would have been like a little conversation where we would have had to like compare notes and like kind of like agree to disagree. But I'm not calling you multiple times about it. And we not about to make no whole ordeal.

[Flow]

It ain't.

[C. Tuck]

It really ain't that serious.

[Flow]

For real, right? You Jay Z. But then, so then, so what? And then now, now I'm not. I'm just gonna play right now. I just want y' all to see his face. Now. This is the face when he. After the second check where he had to come back and just literally backtrack his own statements. Like, he had to, like, I'm gonna play the sound, but I just want to see all the look on his face. He had to change. According to this, Jay Z made him basically change what he said about how Jay Z called. Like, he went from talking about he was vigorous to he was gracious. Like, so he kind of had to literally change what he said. Like, he didn't mean what he said. So what's happening is people already have this stigma against Jay Z where they say, like, Piers Morgan, they say behind the scenes, Jay Z is very much a bully. So things like this kind of add fuel to that fire because they were all over the Internet, like, damn, Michael Dyson is just a Baptist minister.

[C. Tuck]

But then again, it's like, it's like how you using intimidates, intimidation tactics. It's like you. That's what it's like. You use an intimidation tactics to surround yourself with. Yes, man. I mean, because if somebody don't. If somebody. I got a bunch of people that, like, if I. They don't 100 agree with stuff that I be saying that's cool. I don't 100 agree with a lot of that. Y' all do. Oh, well, like, if it ain't really, like detrimental to nobody, hell for their household or nothing like that, ain't no need to be getting bent out of shape about it to me. But honestly. Right, but who, who, who am I? So somebody might disagree with that.

[Flow]

Somebody might disagree with that. Right now I'll be calling you a

[C. Tuck]

all kind of name, you hear me?

[Flow]

But my point is this, like, things like this, because by this being something so small, and I'm thinking maybe that's even why Jay Z was mad that he put it out there like that, you know? And I'm not an excuse. I'm just saying that just adds fuel to the fire. Jay Z of why people think that you are a bully behind the scenes. And you try to play it off and think about it. If he will do that about a Kendrick Drake beef comment slash Trump,

[C. Tuck]

these

[Flow]

people covering his stories, people like the Breakfast Club people he can reach out to, imagine what kind of phone calls they might get.

[C. Tuck]

Exactly.

[Flow]

This is some. This ain't even nothing serious. So if he gonna do it about that, you know, he calling if you cover a Roc Nation story or. Come on, man, About Jay Z and Beyonce, he making calls and intimidating and shutting people down. So to me, through this story, where this story is just about an opinion that, that, that they had that difference of opinions and how it played out, it really adds credence to the people that say that Jay Z be intimidating people, calling up media people. And all the stuff we kind of been hearing was proven right here. Like. Like Jay Z will do that. He will get on the phone and it intimidate to the point where, look, this dude had to drop this video.

[Michael Eric Dyson]

And Kendrick.

[Flow]

Hold on. Good morning, my friends.

[Michael Eric Dyson]

Michael, Eric Dyson here on the way to the funeral of the Reverend Jesse Jackson, a man I've knew for nearly 40 years, had a tremendous friendship with. And the reason we were able to maintain and protect, preserve our strong intimacy and bond is because he said stuff to me and I said stuff to him that didn't get to the public ear. I remember once when Kanye posted publicly a text exchange between us that was private.

[Flow]

And I was hurt by that.

[Michael Eric Dyson]

And I'm thinking about that because I've done the same thing to Jay Z. No, I didn't publicly post a text, but I talked about a private exchange between us that should have remained between us as it has for the last 20 some odd years. So I want to apologize to him here. Why am I doing it here and not to him directly? Because the old black people said, where you did it is where you get it. Where you messed up is where you fess up. And that's what I'm doing. What was his main disagreement? Look, first of all, it wasn't a call. It was a text. That's what we do. We text about geopolitics, we text about the Godfather and a myriad of topics. That is what our habit is. His main disagreement. When I compared Kendrick in his line, not like us to Trump in his trying to distinguish himself from others who weren't on the same level. And Jay Z said basically that that was a faulty kind of comparison. One is a rapper, the other is a far more sinister force. And he said, this is what rappers do. They look at the vulnerabilities of and insecurities of their opponent, and they exploit them. Why would he know that? Because he conducted one of the most famous rap battles in the history of the art form. And so I mischaracterized him.

[Flow]

He said, so I'm gonna play the rest of it. But look at it. Look at his face, man. This dude is scared, man. Look at his face, y'. All, Man, Jay Z done made this dude call and apologize. I mean, make a video apologizing with this face. Crazy work that Jay Z disagreed with him about Kendrick and Drake and Trump. Like, to me, these are the type of tea leaves that I pick out and start really understanding the truth behind, like, Jay Z, you really doing too. You really do too much. That's this. Look at this guy. Check. See? Tough. This dude, petrified for what? Cause he's. Because he said that Jay Z disagreed with him.

[C. Tuck]

Just because y' all didn't, man, that. That's. That. That's preposterous.

[Flow]

On some hip hop. So now. And I. And. And I'm gonna tell you, see, I haven't talked about it much. I didn't put, like. I didn't put a lot of stock in. I didn't. Oh, shoot. Can you hear me? See that?

[C. Tuck]

Yeah, I still hear you.

[Flow]

Okay. I didn't put a lot of stock. And when people used to say, like, that Jay Z was intimidating and calling behind the scenes, because the examples that I had was like, okay, well, he made that call. Put in that call to Piers Morgan about Jaguar, right? I'm like. I mean, whether you agree with it or not, she's saying some Things where if you might want to say something or, or get something shut down, you know, like, I could kind of see why. Even though, you know what I'm saying? I wasn't, I, I kind of was. I was kind of 50, 50 on it, you know what I'm saying? Like, he do it, but then maybe he just do it in within good reason. But I'm still keeping my eye out

[C. Tuck]

because she was, she was having lunch. Lot of stuff.

[Flow]

Right. A lot of from this situation. Oh, Jay Z definitely tries to control narratives and will call you up and try to intimidate you if you putting out something that he don't like. Because if he would do this about him, it's bigger than the Kendrick Lamar, Drake and Trump. It's like you done called this guy and made him apologize. He done made three, four videos about this little, little bitty topic.

[C. Tuck]

But my thing is he doing that for the, he doing all that for that. Why he ain't doing all that for. Or coming out and having those statements dropped about the Epstein stuff.

[Flow]

Right, right.

[C. Tuck]

Like, that's to me, that's to me some more severe where I call you multiple times. Like, hey, you, you tripping. I called somebody multiple times about that.

[Flow]

So see, Tuck, what you said is basically, how could you call this man about Kendrick Lamar, Drake, Beef. But you ain't made no cause about being in the Mestein files and try to clear none of that up.

[C. Tuck]

Come on.

[Flow]

Nobody.

[C. Tuck]

Come on now.

[Flow]

You ain't said nothing.

[C. Tuck]

Nothing.

[Flow]

You ain't even addressed it. You too good and too big to even address aggressive.

[C. Tuck]

I mean, if, even if, if that's a reach, man, let me know.

[Flow]

Exactly right. That's what I said. Even if it's a reach, even if it's nothing, you don't. He even put a statement out. Yeah, I think that's kind of arrogant. I mean, if, if, and I, I, I ain't no damn Jay Z. But I'm saying, like, if something came out and they said flow was in the FC in this files and him and Weinstein, so whatever, I' ma come out and be like, they're damn lie.

[C. Tuck]

Yeah.

[Flow]

You know what I'm saying? Even though it has no, it has no chance of being true, I'm still gonna make a statement because that is a huge story that's touching everybody heart with victims who have not got justice yet. And if your name can come up, you need to address it.

[C. Tuck]

Whether you don't want to be involved or nothing like that. You shouldn't want to be involved with Nothing like that.

[Flow]

Right, right, right, right. But you calling it and scaring the hell out of this little minister for an opinion on rap beef and Trump crazy. I said Jay Z like I said I was, I was on the fence about if he really was that passive aggressive and bullying behind the scenes. I'm off the fence now. I'm like, if you would do that about that, you damn show calling people if you don't like the way they, they covering your, your Beyonce or Jay Z story or, or some Roc Nation skeletons or whatever. And when I dropped that story, people's in my comments, I'm about to get a call.

[C. Tuck]

Oh man,

[Flow]

he got right what they call rabbit ears. I don't know if you ever heard that saying Jay Z got rabbit ears. And that means when anytime somebody say something you gotta, you gotta like call them like, like you gotta defend it or you get, or you get butt hurt about it. As they call people with rabbit ears, it's like they hear everything and they react to everything. So I'm off the fence as far as Jay Z's and behind the scenes intimidation. He definitely does that. I don't care what nobody say. That's what I took from the story. See, that's what I do different than a lot of podcasters and content creators that, that's, that do journalism or that, that are journalists. I don't get stuck on what the actual story is. A lot of times I read people's character through stories, you know what I'm saying? So the fact that they arguing about Jay, Kendrick Lamar and, and Drake and Trump, that don't really mean nothing to me. That, that's, that is what it is. I'm looking at that, I'm looking at how Jay Z handled that. It could have been talking about apples and oranges and grapes. I'm just the same thing. I'm looking at the fact that Jay Z reached out to this man multiple times to the point where this guy who felt like Jay Z was a friend, but see they made true friends. You think he think Jay Z his friend Jay Z ain't his friend? See, he think he is friend. That's that manipulation. Yeah, Jay Z make him feel like a friend. But Jay Z wouldn't have called 50 Cent and, and, and checked them about a conversation. You know what I'm saying? Jay Z wouldn't have called anybody with real power that he actually respected. Whether he liked him or not, anybody he actually respected you not doing all that about like damn, he didn't, he didn't say nothing. Like about a Jay Z conversation that was like super confidential. Jay Z, we all. Since when is your opinion on Hip Hop Confidential?

[C. Tuck]

Right?

[Flow]

Since when is that? Like, since when can somebody can't say, yeah, I said that, that Kendrick stripped Drake of his blackness. Jay Z disagreed with him, you know, during the beef. When is that cause for calling the person and checking them to the point where I got to come to the thing and apologize. And not only did apologize, we just didn't get to it because he was long winded. I didn't want to hear but, but he actually even just changed that. He went from saying that Jay Z vigorously did not like disagree with him to like it was all gracious. And it's like I thought you said he was kind of aggressive and this and that, you know what I mean? But he totally changed all that. Which of course Jay Z must have told him, hey, get on there. And it's funny, like I said, he probably did it because Jay Z know the narrative, but he don't know that made the narrative sound worse.

[C. Tuck]

Yeah.

[Flow]

You know what I'm saying? He probably was thinking like, damn, they already think that I'm aggressive behind the scenes and, and intimidating and controlling. Now he say that, that make it

[C. Tuck]

worse for him to respect his, his whole statement.

[Flow]

He can't have his opinion. He had to retract his opinion. How you gotta retract your opinion? Crazy. So like I said, the reason why I thought that story was relevant is not because of the Kendrick Lamar, the Trump, the Drake. That is old news and it is what it is. I think this story is relevant because there's been a long time there's been people, regular people like this in the chat or regular people in my comments and all the way up to lesser known celebrities or media figures or journalists or any of that that have said Jay Z. This is why a lot of media outlets don't cover Jay Z like we do, because we gonna say what it is. But like let's say like the Breakfast Club, that's a good example. Let's just use them because that's the main example. That's why if you notice the Breakfast Club, they don't really go hard on Jay Z. You might not even really hear a lot of the Jay Z story. They didn't mention that Jay Z, they didn't really did talk about. They don't really, they don't really talk, you know what I mean? Like they don't really talk about Jay Z stuff like that.

[C. Tuck]

No.

[Flow]

But to force Michael Dyson into an apology for that. That's a lot.

[C. Tuck]

No, for sure.

[Flow]

A public apology at that. Like that would even have been something that if I did feel away, if I did feel away, I would holler at you just to yourself. But you. I was. You ain't got to make no public. I would make sure like you don't even got to do that, bro. Don't do that. You know what I'm saying? Like.

[C. Tuck]

Yeah, you ain't like telling you, but

[Flow]

it ain't that deep.

[C. Tuck]

Yeah, I mean that's what I'm saying. Even if you're making the point about the. The conversation being pursed supposedly personal, not public bet clear it up personally.

[Flow]

Exactly. I wouldn't even want you.

[C. Tuck]

Yeah.

[Flow]

No public apology as if it was that serious. Like it wasn't that serious. You know what I'm saying? It was not that.

[C. Tuck]

I mean and then he could have. He could have just made a statement like yeah, I apologize about the previous videos. That was a personal conversation. Blah blah. I looked and no no longer cover any more than anything pertaining to that subject and left it at that. And they could have cleared up whatever they had to do behind closed doors like they were supposed to supposedly.

[Flow]

Yeah man. So yeah, Jay Z, you ain't beating them intimidation allegations, bro. That showed it right there. I don't care what nobody say that right there. Show that Jay Z, you're a little. You got rabbit ears. And that's why he mad that. That I' ma say it again. That is why he was so pissed that Dyson shared. I'm telling you, that's now that's me. I don't know like that's me speculating. That ain't no. I didn't get that from a source. I don't have no hardcore evidence, but I really believe that Jay Z was really mad that he shared that Jay Z called him and was vigorously denied him. And because it painted that picture that people have about Jay Z behind the scenes things that JayZ like he don't like to show that he don't want to be known as that. But this. This just showed it. That you will call a. So yeah, that being said, we can. We can put that to bed. Unless you got something else to say about it, C Tuck.

[C. Tuck]

Oh no. You know, we pretty much covered everything we can about that.

[Flow]

Yeah. So Jay Z, you do be intimidated. That's my point. Even in the people in the chat. Anybody listen, my whole point is this is an example of Jay Z intimidate. Y' all can argue and we can argue about every Other point, you can disagree and agree with this and that, but I'm no, I don't even care about nothing else. What I took from this story is I finally have hardcore evidence that Jay Z is very intimidating and controlling behind them scenes when it comes to you mentioning his name. That's all. That's, that's the only part I care about. I don't care about the Trump part, the Drake part, the. The Kendrick part. I see. Didn't I see somebody. I didn't see it. D said, you don't think. You know, Michael, Eric Dyson, he do not scare that easily. Denise, with all due respect, whether he was scared or not, that ain't even. I don't even care about that. I'm just being honest with you. You what? All I'm saying is the part that I'm focusing on because it's relevant to this, to, to Epstein is relevant to Jay Z being in the Epstein files. It's relevant to everybody who's been saying that behind the scenes, Jay Z has been intimidating not just witnesses, but journalists. This is an example that Jay Z will intimidate or try to control people when, when it comes to his name. That's all. That's the only point I'm trying to make and that's the only point I really want y' all to focus on because that's the only point that's relevant to what we continue to cover. We gonna hear more about Jay Z, we're gonna hear about more the Epstein files. We're gonna hear more about. Jay Z may be getting caught up in some other stuff. And so this reoccurring theme that Jay Z intimidates behind. Intimidate people behind the scenes, we need to pay attention to it. And, and when, and as we go forward and we hear about it, we can go back to this scenario and say, here's an example where they wasn't even talking about nothing serious. And Jay Z had this man apologizing, changing his story, dropping 50 million videos about a small subject. So that's all I want us to pay attention to because that is very relevant to us going forward as, as we cover more of this Epstein stuff, this Jay Z Diddy and all of that, a lot of stuff that people been saying, man, is turning out to be true. Like, like I said, I don't just jump with the wave. So I wasn't really riding the wave, that Jay Z be really super intimidating behind the scenes because I didn't have nothing that I felt was strong enough evidence. But this is it right here to me, like, because I know about, man. Jay Z would have said, man, be calling me with that, man.

[Michael Eric Dyson]

The.

[Flow]

We got Iran wars, we got Epstein files that you ain't talking about, and you calling me about Kendrick Lamar from last year.

[C. Tuck]

Yeah. Nah, bro, it's bigger fish to fry out here, man.

[Flow]

Yeah. So come on, C Tech, what you got for us, man? On topic number two, man. Man, what's been going on, man?

[C. Tuck]

You heard, man, I don't know if you heard or not, man. They gave old girl the two million dollar bond.

[Flow]

The Cleveland one?

[C. Tuck]

Yeah, man.

[Flow]

Two million dollar bond.

[C. Tuck]

She shouldn't got no bond at all.

[Flow]

Hell no.

[C. Tuck]

Disappointed. They should have appointed her to the damn firing squad or some.

[Flow]

Yeah.

[C. Tuck]

Hey, she on. She ain't. She ain't deserve nobody.

[Flow]

So. So give the people. For those that don't know what you're talking about. See, Tuck, some people might not even know the story, so.

[C. Tuck]

Yeah, I don't know.

[Flow]

Yeah.

[C. Tuck]

So for the ones that don't know the story, I'm. I'm referencing the two little girls that was found dead and suitcase. Or dead unalive in suitcases.

[Flow]

Yeah.

[C. Tuck]

In Cleveland, Ohio. What, last Monday or something like that? Well, that last week. So community rallied together. Then it turns out, ended up being their own mother that did it. So they ended up arresting the mother. They get. They, like, cleaned out the house, gathered whatever evidence they needed, so they ended up charging her with endangering children and murder. And then Friday, I believe it was, they issued her two million dollar bond.

[Flow]

So, yeah, y', all. That. And that story has went national. I don't know. Have you noticed that?

[C. Tuck]

Yeah, no, for sure.

[Flow]

Everybody covering. So, yeah, we talking about the story where there were two young kids discovered the suitcases, like. Like C. Tuck said, and they. They found out the mother did it.

[Michael Eric Dyson]

Which.

[Flow]

Did you ever find out how they found out the mother did it? Did she just. Did she confess? Did they see her on camera? Did they just have.

[C. Tuck]

I think they had. I think that it was evidence.

[Flow]

Okay. I wonder what the. Do you know yet? They haven't shared that.

[C. Tuck]

They didn't. They didn't.

[Flow]

That's why I asked.

[C. Tuck]

Yeah. No, I haven't seen it. I haven't seen where they went in depth about it.

[Flow]

Okay.

[C. Tuck]

So I. I'll be on the lookout for that, but I ain't seen where they really. Because it's just. Everything just unraveled and been happening so fast.

[Flow]

Yeah, yeah. Cause Shawna, I really. I noticed that because Shawna had asked me, like, well, how did they know? Like, how did they find out? And I was like, you know what? They didn't even say. I just know she was arrested.

[C. Tuck]

Yeah.

[Flow]

You know, they got hardcore evidence the way they did it, even though they just went and got it. So we, like you said, keep an eye on that.

[C. Tuck]

But anyway, he knows another kid that they removed from the home too. And they, they with children Family Services.

[Flow]

Okay, good. But like you said, the kid, the. The mother got a two million dollar bond. I don't think she should have had no bomb. But I' ma tell y' all one thing. Cleveland is not the richest city in the world. And a two million dollar bond, I'll be surprised if she get out. Right? Like, two million dollar bond is like a two billion dollar bond in Cleveland. But just for the sake of a perspective and how it looks and perception, she shouldn't have got no bond. You don't deserve. You don't deserve a 40 million dollar bond.

[C. Tuck]

Yeah, that's too egregious, man.

[Flow]

Now, one side note, that's a sad part of that story. And this is for Mila or Mila and what was the other amor they were between. What were their ages again? Do you Remember?

[C. Tuck]

It was 10 and 8.

[Flow]

10 and 8. Now another side note, backstory to that is. And a lot of people don't know this, and it's funny, when it comes to dads, sometimes we could be a little numb. But the father of. I believe it was Mila. The father of one of those kids. I believe it's Mila or Mila. It's M. I. L. A says that he had been fighting with the courts for five years, man.

[C. Tuck]

He trying to get his kid.

[Flow]

Bro, trying to get his kid doing

[C. Tuck]

like emergency filing for emergency custody, ignoring them. And he ain't getting like no appointments or nothing.

[Flow]

Yeah, y', all, we got, we got

[C. Tuck]

her father was her father been locked up for the last eight years. But his family been reaching out to her to try to get the, to like try to see the kid. And every time they get a line on her, she changed her number and move. But I, I hope, I hope that. I hope they, the father sue the out. Out the county for real. Because they, they really failed them kids.

[Flow]

Yeah.

[C. Tuck]

And it always be like that when they come to. When it come to fathers, bro. Like, you got the real live fathers that really try to be a part of their life and they always get around for real or have to jump through hoops. That was just because they want to be a parent and they want to Be an active part of their kids life. And that ain't cool.

[Flow]

Right, Right.

[C. Tuck]

Especially for the ones that look like us.

[Flow]

Right, right.

[C. Tuck]

We always get the short end of the stick.

[Flow]

I was gonna say. And that's what I say, man, we gotta, we gotta give dads, we gotta get dads a little more, a little more credit or a little more, a little more power, man, in this system. Like we do some, somewhere somehow. And this is a good example of it. Five years, this dad fighting for emergency custody. Nothing happened but his own kid. His own kid. And now that kid ain't here no more. And I would, I would, I would tend to believe if the, if the, if the kid was with the dad, that kid would still be alive. I just believe that, you know, I could be wrong, but I think that kid would still be alive, had custody of, of that daughter. And at the very least it's a sad story, but me being a black father, yeah, I'm telling you, we get played, we get treated. Because there are a lot of fathers who don't give a. There are a lot of fathers in this world. They are. There are a lot. I know them, I see them. But you can't treat all of us like that. And we all get treated the same. We get treated like, as black fathers. And I've been through it, you know, I went through all kind of shit and I've been there from the beginning, from in for mine. And we don't get, we don't have much say, so we don't get treated seriously. It's bad. And I, and I tend to not. You don't hear me complain about it much because it's like, is at this point, it's almost seems like not much we can do about it. But when a story like this comes

[C. Tuck]

up, it hits harder because I know

[Flow]

what that black father went through and how he got treated. The courts look at us as irrelevant. No matter if I could be on crack, they still gonna take the, they still gonna put the mama over us. And that's just the truth. And something needs to change with that as, as this story is a, is a, is a good example of that. Like, and, and this father been fighting for this daughter emergency custody and filing stuff and fighting and filing and getting absolutely nowhere. And then this daughter ends up in a suitcase. The system failed that girl. We got a system in place to keep that girl safe. And the system failed because of its biases against fathers. Because I'm not even. I'm speaking for black fathers because I'm a Black father that went through it. You know, white fathers.

[C. Tuck]

Yeah.

[Flow]

That have the same gripes.

[C. Tuck]

No, for sure.

[Flow]

My lawyer, who helped me do a lot, he became a lawyer who fought fights for black, for fathers because of what he went through. He white, so I ain't even saying so. That's why I really say it's just dads in general, period. Yeah. I'm just speaking for black fathers because I am a black father and I know from my experience personally.

[C. Tuck]

Right.

[Flow]

So. Yeah, man. That story to. For her, that made me even more sad, man, when I heard that part of it. Because. Because if you remember when it first happened, I was like, where did that.

[C. Tuck]

Yeah.

[Flow]

Everybody was show you. We keep it real. We were calling out the dads, where they at? You know what I'm saying? So, like, what were they at? How do they not know what's going on? And then we find out this. They've been hiding and keeping them kids from the dads and the family. And who knows what she was doing with these daughters, you know what I'm saying?

[C. Tuck]

Yeah.

[Flow]

Have them hidden like that. And then eventually they did. Like, was she trafficking them? You know what I'm saying? Was she. You feel me? Like what? Something was going on for her to be feeling like she had to keep these daughters hidden from their families and their fathers. Yeah, it's a sad story, man. Just a very, very, very, extremely sad story. See, Tuck, what you think, man?

[C. Tuck]

No, for sure. 100, man. Thousand percent agree with. Yeah, it gotta be. It gotta get better.

[Flow]

Yeah, we gotta get better. We gotta do something about it, man. We. We got a lot of dads who care a lot about their seeds and their. Their kids, too. And we gotta really approach these things with a listening ear and be. And be open and not just shutting down dads, because we just. Everything go. Because some of these. We got a lot of great moms out there. I got a great mom. Love my mom, you know? It's a lot of great moms out there. But there's some moms out there that don't need to be moms, for sure. We need a system in place that can weed them out, too.

[C. Tuck]

Yeah. And it'd be crazy because them same moms still be getting celebrated on Mother's Day. And you don't be. You don't be hearing no, no, no. Real man up there, like, oh, yeah, I'm the mama and the father. No, like, we don't be doing all that.

[Flow]

Yeah. We need to get fair. So we see Tuck say, you're gonna keep us Updated on this story as it develops. What else you see in the news?

[C. Tuck]

Shoot, I seen what Aiden sent. The damn. It was like a. I think that's a E86 plane or something. Like the little doomsday plane.

[Flow]

Yeah.

[C. Tuck]

Sent that over to the Middle East.

[Flow]

So, like nukes is on the table at this point.

[C. Tuck]

Man, I'm hoping not. But they. They making.

[Flow]

They.

[C. Tuck]

They doing a lot.

[Flow]

You.

[C. Tuck]

I don't know if you've seen the footage where they blew up the. The US Blew up the oil depot in Iran.

[Flow]

No, I ain't see that, man.

[C. Tuck]

So they didn't send missile strikes. Blew up this oil depot that was in Iran. But they show like video footage. Like it was this person driving on the front freeway. All you seen was just. Just black smoke just going up. And it's a fire and black smoke just shooting hop in the sky. They said it start. The smoke went so far up in the sky that it started raining. And when rain came down, it was black. I'm like, man, this. And then we already starting to see it. Like what before? Like what last week? Gas like two something. I wouldn't have got gas yesterday. This 349.

[Flow]

Damn. For the 87 it went up to 349 like that.

[C. Tuck]

Man.

[Flow]

We fill up probably like once a week. And last time we filled up, it was like there was two something. I remember. So you're saying it went to 349.

[C. Tuck]

That was 3:49 yesterday, man.

[Flow]

Everybody in the chat put your put your put your put, y'. All. How much is gas were you at?

[C. Tuck]

They said, yeah, in California, they. They $8.

[Flow]

Damn. Look at this. Everybody put what gas is in the chat right now so we can know what the hell going on. Lazy baby said gas In California is $8. Creepy little beach says it's 298 in Florida, right?

[C. Tuck]

Hey, Florida. Look, Florida is like looking real appealing, man. I. I heard they was passing. About to pass a bill where they eliminating property taxes.

[Flow]

Damn. She said last year was 3.80. So Florida, I don't know what the hell is. Is the Santa still. To me still the.

[C. Tuck]

I think so.

[Flow]

Okay, so DeSantis, I don't know what he doing, but he keeping y' all gas prices down. Hold up. At least said in California, it went from 379 to 795. Man, the South Fitness. Is that the South Fitness or Finest? Let me see. Okay, the south finest says three 359 in South Carolina.

[C. Tuck]

See? North Carolina 297.

[Flow]

D says so it ain't he said gas went from 319 to 375 in a week. That's a big jump, man.

[C. Tuck]

Come on. Now, see, and then they doing this, like, coincidentally, Nas getting about.

[Flow]

Somebody be jogging to the gym.

[C. Tuck]

It's getting warm outside. It's daylight savings time. See, about to be putting these cars out. Them cars got 93 in the. So. So you know what I'm about to be. That's a 75 trip to the tank.

[Flow]

Damn. So when do we think these gas prices gonna go down? Or anytime.

[C. Tuck]

Yeah, no, as long as they still doing all that over. There we go. That's. That's gonna have the same ripple effect like the tariffs and all of that.

[Flow]

Damn. Newsome got creepy little pictures, said Newsome. 4:45. The South Finance says no time soon. 4:45. Grandma Kathy. Grandma Kathy say 4:45 in Seattle went up about 80 cents, basically. A dollar.

[C. Tuck]

Yeah.

[Flow]

You might as well say a dollar a gallon. That 20 cents. Hey, look, you. That 20 cents gone, man. That 20 cents from a dollar is gone. So you might say a dollar. Wow, y'. All. Now, see, now, one thing I like about me having a job where I don't have to be driving all over the place is when like, this happened because I literally, you know, that's crazy. Think about the people who. And some of y', all, whoever that drive like, a nice distance, because there's some people that drive a life's distance to work. This cuts into their money. Like, for real. You talking about a dollar a gallon? Average tank hold about what, 20 gallons? How much that average tank?

[C. Tuck]

Average tank range anywhere from like 15 to 18.

[Flow]

That's on average, 15, 18 gallons.

[C. Tuck]

Yeah.

[Flow]

So you talking about damn near just say round numbers. $20. It's affecting $20 a fill up. If that maintains in a year. You talking about an extra hundred dollars or more? I mean. I mean a month. I mean, you talking about an extra hundred dollars or more gone in a matter of just because. Because. Because we in war and now you got to pay a hundred dollars or more. More a month just because of that.

[C. Tuck]

Yeah.

[Flow]

You wasn't counting on that. We already trying to fight with the inflation that we already dealing with in

[C. Tuck]

the grocery stores and all that other.

[Flow]

You said. Well, yeah, yeah. And grocery prices. So. So I'm glad. You know. And this is another thing while we. While we talking about it, because this give me a. A, a. A. A sense of what's going on. And my dog grooming salon. Oh, perfect. Creepy little bitch. She said she she has seven acres and her dog grooming salon is on her property. See, that's a, that's a beautiful thing, man, because at least you can eliminate what they doing with this gas, because you can't. Groceries. You gotta have groceries. Which one day. I do want to have a farm though. Like, yeah, this is my dream, y'. All. And I'm like, we want to get our property and I. And I want to have a staff because I know I don't know how to farm and we don't want to have to, but I want to have a staff that farms and, and buy my own produce and my own chickens and whatever and vegetable and grow it and just have a staff that comes, you know, farm my shit.

[C. Tuck]

Yeah.

[Flow]

And so I have my own food from scratch. Scratch. That's my dream.

[C. Tuck]

No, for sure. That's what I want to do too. I want to, I want to have my. Have like a copper garden too. Having like copper line. That'll help like that, help it grow.

[Flow]

Oh, okay.

[C. Tuck]

Anything like that.

[Flow]

Yeah, yeah. Because then, man, not only is you getting fresh food, but I'm sure the cost, I'm sure the cost would have to be cheaper. Yeah, have to be cheaper. You don't need a million people. You wouldn't have to hire that, you know, I'm saying a million people. And then I'm sure the actual, you know, materials. When I say materials, I mean like the chickens and, and the vegetables and whatever, all that you need. I'm sure that, you know what I'm saying, it's relatively cheap. You buying it straight seeds and, you know, I mean, whatever. So, yeah, that's my dream because that's why I like working from home. Because I just try to like insulate myself as much as possible from all these up and downs that we go through in this world. You know what I mean? Like this, you know what I'm saying? Boom. An extra dollar for across the board is damn near a dollar more, you know what I'm saying? Just overnight, like I said. Just wanna. You telling me I didn't even know this time. Last time we filled up, it was two something. Yeah, we filled up in the new three. Whatever you saying it is now. Yeah, that means like a, a, a fifty dollar. A fifty fill up then damn near went to seventy.

[C. Tuck]

Yeah. Hey, pretty much.

[Flow]

Look at this. Look at the south finding. Say this is what I'm talking about. The south finder says I drive a Yukon XL and it was 80 to fill up. Now I'm at 95.

[C. Tuck]

Told you 100 told you.

[Flow]

Yeah.

[C. Tuck]

No, you want to get a bicycle?

[Flow]

He said all company price. Are they price gouging?

[C. Tuck]

Yeah, they definitely.

[Flow]

Yeah, we gotta get at least, we gotta get at least a suv. At least. Definitely. I'm gonna hit you up, send me a DM and let's see what we can make happen. For sure. This is the time.
