The thoughts, views and opinions shared in the flow show no filter. Are for educational and entertainment purposes only. I am not a professional. I am just good. Ah, Felix. Felix in the building. How y'all doing? Happy Taco Tuesday. Good morning, good day, good evening. Whatever time you watch this, the breakfast crew is in the building. Megan, Amy, Shauna, I don't know who we. I don't know who we missing. Michelle. We them boys. Oh, there go Michelle. What's up? What's up? Oh, man, lot to talk about. Crazy day. Underwhelming weekend with that All Star Game. Jay Z shocked the world with his dismissal. You know, we got to get into that. And then Diddy jumped on board on Jay Z's bandwagon and put out the same statement. Basically, it's crazy. And to be honest is what we talked about. We've been always saying one thing about it. If anything comes up wrong or dismissed or anybody caught lying, it's gonna hurt the case. Now in this Jay Z situation, we got, it's divided. The, the, the, the outcry is divided. You got people that saying, hey, I knew he was innocent or I knew he was gonna be there from the beginning. And I've seen them in the comments. You got people that saying he just dodged a bullet. Then you got a crowd of people saying, we don't care what happened, he's still guilty. Just because it's dismissed doesn't mean he's innocent and they still going after him. So it's a very wide range of, of reactions to this news and we gonna get into all that. I'm gonna talk about it, tell you what I think and all and why. Also we're gonna get into a little bit of Diddy. We got planes crashing. Damn. So much happened over the weekend. And then to end off the weekend with that raggedy ass All Star weekend. So let's get into the Jay Z thing first. He shocked the world. I remember I told y'all that this would be a heavyweight fight between Busby and Jay Z. This was like Tyson versus Holyfield back in the day. And if you don't want to say it's a heavyweight fight, this was like Mayweather versus Pacquiao. And I'mma get into it now. It was about two, three years ago, maybe a couple years ago. Y'all know about my raggedy ass Browns. We, we couldn't get it right. We needed a quarterback. We needed a quarterback bad. This is what this. Jay Z, Jay Z. I'm gonna tie this into the Jay Z. Stay with me for A second. Y'all know my Browns is terrible. We were thirsty. We needed a quarterback desperately to try to win. Who do we get? We get this quarterback who played for the Houston Texas by the name of deshawn Watson. Everybody in Cleveland is happy. We thinking, oh, we about to go to the Super Bowl. We had a good team, good defense. We were already good without a quarterback. We were tired of our quarterback, Baker Mayfield. And so we go after deshaun Watson because he has some stuff going on over in, in Houston. And by golly did we get. We signed them for dang near $300 million, like 260 or something. We all happy. We about to go to the Super Bowl. I mean, signing DeSean Watson was so impactful that people were stopping in the streets. People was honking their horns at each other. Like, kind of reminded me of when we won the championship. Everybody was just so happy. You walk in the grocery store, me and a guy, you could tell. We both Browns fans when we got desean Watson, we catching eyes, we nodding heads to each other and I mean, it was crazy. And then we started to learn about DeShawn's Watson troubles. And they say, hey, this, this lawyer on DeShawn's behind about these allegations with massages. And his name is Tony Bugsby. And we were like, first of all, that name sound funny to us. At that time, we didn't know nothing about who Tony Bugsby was. I heard the name before, but nothing. I didn't know much about him. I said, you know, for us as Browns fans, we like, man, we ain't thinking about nobody. We don't care about Tony Busby, Bugsby, whatever his name is. We got DeShawn. DeShawn's name was Squeaky clean at this time. Squeaky clean like squeaky clean like Tiger woods when his name was clean before he even got into any problems. That's Deshaun Wine. Deshaun Watson's name was super clean. So we wasn't worried about nothing. Who wasn't worried about no backlash or no lawyer, no lawsuits. We just ready to win the Super Bowl. Then another lawsuit came from Tony Bugsby. Then another lawsuit came, then another. Before we knew it, we were at like 20 something lawsuits and or more. And it was more allegations. Next thing we know, deshaun Watson, it started raining on the whole parade. Damn. NFL suspended Watson for the first year that we had with the whole. A whole year. Tony Busby demolished deshaun Watson. And when he did that, he crushed all of our dreams. If you've Been following the story now. Deshaun Watson went from, from top five quarterback in the league to. After Tony Busby got through with him, he's not even. He's expected to be out of the league. We are paying him a guarantee over $200 million contract. And it has got so bad that we as the Browns team are willing to basically cut and part ways with Deshaun Watson, even though giving them that money, that's how bad it got. Now you say Flo, what the heck does that story have to do with Jay Z and Tony Busby in this whole situation? Well, it got a lot to do with it because it got a lot to do with me. And that's why I'm so shocked. And I'm gonna tell you, we underestimated Tony Busby and our hearts were destroyed because of it. And that was just sports, right? So when we went into this situation, I'm shocked because. Not because I didn't think Jay Z. I know Jay Z is going to fight and do whatever he can to prove his innocent. We know that about Jay Z. Whether you like him or not, we know that he goes hard for his name. So me being shocked or thinking Busby had it under control had nothing to do with Jay Z, but had everything to do with how Tony Busby just did me and my, my fellow Browns fans just two years ago. So I'm already thinking like, I'm not about to underestimate him this time. But as we see, the heavyweight fight came out with Jay Z on top. Whether you like it or not, it is what it is now. At first, when the stuff first hit, I said, well, if Jay Z, because there are people that said he settled, they think he settled behind closed doors with Busby or whatever, right? And I was like, okay, I was with that. I said, you know what, Jay Z, if he, when it first got dismissed, I'm like, well, maybe they did do it like a behind back door deal or something. I'm just kind of, you know, I'm looking to see what it looked like. I said, because Jay Z, he should be countersuing. He should be going after Busby. And before I could finish my sentence, Jay Z is suing Tony Busby for millions. And now Jay Z has the upper hand and all the momentum and Busby is scrambling and we about to talk about all that. So let's get into what the hell happened over the weekend. Let's, let's start right here. So, so the first article we gonna go over was the Jay Z. It says this is By Los usa. It says Jay Z and Diddy cleared of lawsuit over the alleged. Y'all know the incident. Okay, Jay Z announced that the civil lawsuit against him and Diddy has been dismissed via ROC Nation's official account. And this is what Jay Z put today is a victory. The frivolous, the fictitious and appalling allegations have been dismissed. The trauma that my wife, my children, loved ones and I have endured can never be dismissed. This, this civil lawsuit was with no merit and was never going anywhere. The fictional story they created was laughable if not for the seriousness of the claims. I would not wish this experience on anyone. The rapper stated. And then he goes on to say in on his ROC Nation page today is a victory. And then he goes on to say this 1-800-lawyer gets to file a lawsuit hiding behind Jane Doe. And when they quickly realize that the money grab is going to fail, they get to walk the other way with no repercussions. The system has failed. The court must protect victims, of course, while with the same ethical responsibility, the courts must protect the innocent from being accused. Without a shred of evidence. May the truth prevail for all victims and those falsely accused equally. Now, those were some words from Jay Z and he dedicated those to Tony Busby, the attorney representing all of these alleged victims. Now the problem is no matter which side of the spectrum you're on, whether you believe, whether you would believe that Diddy, I mean Diddy or Jay Z, if you believe Jay Z is innocent or whether you believe Jay Z is guilty, the problem is this, to get this dismissed and on top of that, now you have to take the dismissal and add that in with the, not only the dismissal, but add that in with the NBC or whatever, the publication that ran and the interview and all the doubts from the interview, from the, the person in the lawsuit, now we have an issue whether you're on either side of the spectrum. Because what's happening now is all of Tony Busby's lawsuits are now being looked at and second guessed. And this is what we talked about on this podcast. We've never wavered from that. Cases being dismissed or cases that are found to be without merit. We can't talk about what may have happened behind the scenes. We got to talk about what's in front of us and what we really dealing with. As long as people come and cases get dismissed, that will hurt or, or I shouldn't say hurt, that will hurt the case, the Fed's case or the whole future cases, it will hurt future cases and victims who Come forward, whether they come forward with Tony Busby or not are going to be looked at sideways. Now who they were already, you know, you already got people who don't believe that, you know, that don't believe nothing happened. And you know, you got that crowd out there, ain't nothing going to change them. But then you have a certain portion of people who are kind of on the fence about this. And when a case, when this happens and it's dismissed, a lot of people start to look at it a different way. And so why everybody's worried about, you know, did Jay Z really do it? Did he get it behind the deal? Did they do a deal off, you know, whatever, off the record or whatever. The bottom line is this case is in the, this case has been put in the forefront and now it's a major case that dismissed Diddy and Jay Z. And that's gonna hurt for future victims and it's gonna hurt some of those cases with Tony Busby. Now there they have come out and, and doubled down on the fact that there has been no lawsuit. I mean, no, there have been no behind the scenes settlement or anything like that. And then Jay Z, to double down on that fact, came out and, and, and is going after Tony Busby now. And, and then, and, and I checked out the article. I said, oh my God, now if Jay Z goes after him for millions, then what happens? They say, they say Jay Z said he lost 20 million dollar. 20 million dollar offers or 20 million dollar deals on the table that he lost because of Tony Busby. People had said 100 million, but the actual, it's like 20 million and it's different contracts. So let's just check this out. And this is what if Jay Z wants people to believe that this, that he won this fair and square, which we have no evidence that he didn't. But if he wants people to believe him who are doubting them, these are the type of steps you have to take for people to say, you know what, Jay Z must be right. He must have stood on business for real. Because now, uh, Jay Z sues. This, this is from Baller Alert by Think Tank. Jay Z sues attorney Busby for defamation. Cites 20 million in loss deals over false claims. So now we're going into the next phase. We talked about the dismissal. Now what happens after the dismissal? Jay Z taking legal action against Tony Busby. And the thing is for the crowd that says if you believe that Jay Z did some type of backhanded back office, hidden little deal with Tony Busby or Whatever. If you believe that, then we need a, we need hella smoke for Tony Busby because that would make him part of something file that would mean he got us all riled up for the victims just to settle off record and take money. So I don't know that to be true, but I do know if you are somebody who believes that Jay Z and Tony Busby did something behind the scenes or something, then we need smoke for Tony Busby as well. A lot of smoke. Smoke. Because if Tony Busby did that, then he just tainted the case for hundreds of victims that he's representing. So look, in this article, Jay Z is taking legal action against Tony Tony Busby. So what? So Jay Z claims the lawsuit was deliberately filed the night before his daughter Blue Ivy's Mufasa the Lion King premier to force him into a no win situation. He goes on to say, and I quote, I felt that Mr. Busby was placing a gun to my head. That I either bow to his demands or endure personal and financial ruin. He declared in his legal filing. It goes on to say, beyond the reputational damage, Jay Z alleges he lost 20 million in business contracts due to the accusations, describing the ordeal as a calculated attack on his legacy. Meanwhile, Diddy remains behind bars. Now what they go on to say in this article, they say Jay Z's lawsuit aims to hold Busby accountable and set a precedent against the legal system. The abuse. As the battle unfolds, the rapper remains focused on his family and career, refusing to let false allegations define his legacy. So Jay Z took the next step. If you want us to believe everything was fair and square and the case is being dismissed. Now the next step you would have to do is now you got to sue Tony Busby. Because if you don't sue Tony Busby, people are going, we people are going to say, wait a minute. If Tony Busby attacked you with no evidence and this is clear, you didn't do it and it's dismissed. Why aren't you going after him then? And that's what people were saying. Next thing we know, Jay Z's going after Tony Busby. Now after the money being sued, Jay Z also doubled down on Busby trying. He, he claimed that Tony Busby tried to blackmail him with a male accrue accuser basically said he tried to shake him down. And this comes courtesy of tmz. And the article reads, Jay Z says, and I quote, busby tried to shake me down over another false accuser. Now it goes on to say Jay Z is going out of his way to expose Tony Busby's alleged attempts to get large sums of money from him over two different allegations, one of which was just dismissed and the other one never ended up even making it to court. According to the docs Jay Z Field filed this week obtained by TMZ, Busby sent two demand letters to Jay in November 2024. One of them was over the Jane Doe who accused Jay and Diddy of SA in 2000 when she was only 1 3. The other was for John Doe. This is the male accuser, the John Doe who according to the letter, claimed J essayed him at a 2015 Beverly Hills party when he was 16 and had been secretly rugged by someone other than Jay. Now, Jay goes on to say both allegations are false and ridiculous. And of course, the Jane Doe was dismissed Friday, which was on Valentine's Day, which was a huge victory for Jay and actually Diddy. Now, the John Doe, the male accuser, allegations we never had previously heard about. And Jay says Busby's letter for both clients demanded something of substance to address the situation, which Jay interpreted as a demand for a lot of money to bury their silence. He also describes the letters as blatant blackmail attempts. Now, in these new docs, Jay accused Busby of intentionally filing the Jane Doe lawsuit on Blue Ivy's day. As we talked about. So he is going hard and like I said from the beginning, my loyalty is to victims and to justice and that's it. I don't have a dog in the fight. I don't have whatever is the justice, whichever is truth and whatever victim needs justice. That's what I'm here from. I, I'm not here wishing bad on anybody or hoping anything bad. I'm here to cover what is in front of me. I like to use the example of a commentator commentating your favorite sports game or whatever. Whether a team getting pounded or your team winning or losing, then all, all we got to do, all we going to do is tell you exactly what we see. And my worry and what I'm concerned about is by this getting dismissed and Tony Busby has placed himself so, so deep into this situation that he is a major part in this. It's like you got Diddy, you got Jay Z who was just dismissed, but then you got Tony Busby filing hundreds of lawsuits and now one of the most, the major lawsuit that we all talked about has been dismissed calling Tony Busby's whole situation into question. Now that is separate from the Fed case. You know, Tony, Buzzy don't have nothing to do with that, but he still could jeopardize other witnesses or other victims. Because now people are looking at him like. And it's because of some of the things he said. Let's take a look at one of what. What Tony Busby said when the NBC report or whatever station that was on when they came out and they said that Jay Z. That. That. That the. The victim didn't have some of the right information. This and that. Well, that was. Already had people like, okay, did Tony Busby do his due diligence before bringing this? And this is what made people think, like, hold up, we got to look into this a little more. Because when it all came out and the victim didn't have the right information or whatever, like I said, forget the victim. All of this falls on the shoulder of Busby. He's the attorney. He is the legal authority in this situation that we look to. To. He knows the law. He studied the law. And so when Tony Busby said. When all this came out, a statement that he made that's really coming to bite him now is when he said, we got this case from another attorney that they have. They vetted it. We just took. Basically, he's saying, we just took the case and went forward. And so it's like, hold on. So you just took the case and went forward off of another attorney vetting, and you put your name on it, and that's how we got here. Okay, whatever. Until the case is brought to court or whatever, ain't no judgments. You know, we don't know nothing. I don't at the time, we don't know the evidence. We just know the evidence that's being put out to us. But now when you fast forward it and now it's dismissed, and all Tony Busby is saying is Jay Z cleared his name. Now it's like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Now. Now I'm mad at Tony Busby because like I said from the beginning, when I start, my loyalty is to the victims. My loyalty is to choose justice. And right now, Tony Busby, now, who knows what he has up his sleeve or what he may come up with next? But as of right now, whether he did a deal with Jay Z behind the scenes or he didn't right now, he just tainted this case for a lot of victims. And that just is what it is, and that's where I'm at with it. I can't say if Jay Z and Busby did some behind us. I don't know if it comes out. Y'all know, we gonna cover it and we gonna talk about it. But as of right now, the public perception and what the perception of this case is that Jay Z, his case is dismissed. Tony Busby has set out his own mouth. We didn't vet it. We got this case from another lawyer and now it's dismissed. And now Tony Busby is being sued by Jay Z. So now we got Jay Z doubling down. So let's go on to the next phase of what happened in this is what's going on now. You, you, you turn your focus to Beyonce. Beyonce is speak speaking on it in a way. And they actually celebrated Valentine's Day with celebrated his victory. And they also talked about receiving death threats. Let's talk about that now. So let's just talk about the Jay Z and Beyonce reaction or Beyonce's reaction. This comes from Lifestyle. Marca Lifestyle was a publication. It says the headline reads, jay Z and Beyonce celebrate after rape after our case dropped. A great Valentine's Day for her is what they call it. So the article goes on to say Jay Z and Beyonce were spotted and enjoying a celebratory dinner in Beverly Hills on Sunday night, marking their first public appearance since the rapper's case was dropped. It says here the power couple appeared relaxed and happy with Beyonce showcasing her effortless style in a blazer and bare legs. Jay Z dressed in all black. Now in this article, they go on to say that that Beyonce was relieved. And she says that she was ready and willing to fight a long case. She figured that it would be something she would have to show up to court to for a long time, similar to Rihanna and the ASAP Rocky situation where Rihanna is supporting her husband or asap and Beyonce thought she would have to do the same thing. It goes on to say Beyonce felt like their world fell apart for a moment while they put on brave faces is a quote. While they put on brave faces behind the scenes, it was a stressful time for Beyonce, bringing back memories of when Jay had previously broken her trust. On top of that, their children were affected. This is some insider from the from their camp revealed. They also added, like what I just said, that Beyonce had anticipated a lengthy legal battle expecting to support Jay Z in court, much like Rihanna and asap. So what they're saying now is now Beyonce can focus on her upcoming tour, her business, being a mom and a wife, and enjoy the success of her recent Grammy wins. The source concluded it's a great Valentine's Day for J and B. So they they taking a victory lap on Tony Busby and like I said, I, I feel bad for the victims because this is going to affect them. I hope that Tony Busby has more information or, or has, has, has vetted the other cases. I hope he really did vet them because at this point, if another one comes out that he's putting behind and he's dismissed, there will be. They're going to be, they're going to be. It's going to be hard to come back from that. Let me just say that. So I am hoping that whatever case that pony Tony Busby brings next, or the next one that is very popular, I'm just hoping it's well vetted because it's already hard enough to get people to believe victims. But it's even harder when cases that are covered across, like everybody knows about this case, everybody following this case. And then when it gets dismissed and it appears that Jay Z and Diddy got cleared, then now you have that, that pocket of people who are trying to say that people lying or people ain't this. Now you give them a voice and now they feel like, oh, I have to, I have to stand up and be loud. Because they are, they are taking, they are dancing like crazy on social media. The people who wanted this to be the case. And then once this is the problem because now that Jay Z and, and Tony Busby did what he did, now that Jay Z has the quote, unquote, you want to say momentum or whatever. So now he is pouring it on. This says Jay Z received death threats in response to the R allegation. Now look, Jay Z and his wife Beyonce. This is from Bang Premiere. This is a new publication. It just came out. Jay Z in the article says Jay Z received death threats in response to the allegation. Now, Jay Z and his wife Beyonce were sent death threats according to this article. And normally you wouldn't. I, I would. I would have thought they would have said some of this before, but this is just now, this is, this, this is just because now that every. They have won, now they're just doubling down and they get to say, whatever. This is how it goes. Now they can talk about the death threat so they can talk about whatever. Whether it happened or not is not for me to say. But this is the danger when these cases get dismissed is why we always say we want truthful or we want to make sure that everybody is vetted and everything is above board. Because this case being dismissed didn't do nothing but hurt other cases. And I just hate to see that because I get the benefit of seeing Thousands of comments. And, and. And they are being not only just to Tony Busby. I mean, he deserves it because this is his thing. This is what he signed up for. He. A lawyer. When you take these cases, you got to take the good and the bad. But what I, but what I don't like to see is how many people are taking a dump on the victim or the victims. Like, there's a lot of comments of talking about the victim and talking about everybody lying and this and that. And it's just like, that's not. That's not fair. Because one case that got dismissed doesn't have anything to do with the hundreds of other cases and other victims. We don't know. I don't know exactly what happened in this situation. I'm. All I'm going by is what is presented in front of me. And they are saying, this is dismissed. And Tony Busby is saying Jay Z cleared his name. That's what Tony Busby said. So, to be honest, I hope the, The, The. The case with Diddy and this Tony Busby kind of situation, I hope it kind of like separates. Let's put the Tony Busby, let him support. I mean, represent his victims and what he's doing and then let the feds do what they doing, because as you can see, one can affect the other. And, and, and we don't want that. And the reason why I say that you. I don't know if y'all saw the statement from Diddy, but Diddy immediately, immediately came out saying that I basically, I'ma sum it up. Diddy came out saying. Called him a 1-800-lawyer and that all his other ones are going to get dismissed just like this one. And was like, did he. You got so much going on. Just take your. Your let Jay Z take his victory, but you can't jump on Diddy because you got way more fish to fry. Jay Z is in a different situation from Diddy. Yeah, we. A lot of people think that Jay Z is just as guilty. And people are waiting to see. We waiting for it to happen, you know, and when it comes, it comes. But right now, we know Diddy is locked up. Right now, we saw Diddy put hands and feet and paws on Cassie. And so we can't let Diddy try to use this as leverage to, to. To get him out of a jam. And that is what I'm afraid of, or was afraid of and been afraid of this whole case. And we've been talking about it on this podcast, every other mention. We. Whether I bring it up or people in the chat bring it up. Can't nothing this case. Only thing could ruin this case is victims who may be untrue or witnesses who are untrue. As long as everything is above board, we don't have nothing to worry about. But the way Diddy jumped on, that's. That's. I saw it coming. I'm sure y'all out there saw it, knew it too. But Diddy couldn't wait to come out and put himself in position like he was Jay Z. Meaning, like, yeah, you see, we ain't do nothing or we. We don't do nothing like this. And it's like, hold up, Diddy. This is Jay Z did this, and this is Jay Z's dismissal, even though technically Diddy's dismissed, too. But Diddy is actually locked up, and Diddy is actually about to face the music. And what we can't do is let this take away from the fact that Diddy is being held accountable. And Diddy has an enterprise letter coming out next month which is supposed to detail the whole enterprise of what he was doing. As of right now, him and Jay Z are in two different boats. Now, Jay Z could end up in the Diddy boat. We shall see. But as of right now, the two cases that we knew that were going against Jay Z, the one never made to court and the one was dismissed, that's Jay Z. But as far as Diddy, we saw what you did. They won't even let you get out for $50 million. That tells you everything you need to know right there. And so as that Jay Z and stuff materializes, I just want to make sure that we don't allow this to sidetrack us from the fact that we got somebody who's being held accountable right now, and that's Diddy. Mohawk Diddy. But we can't let this snowball into somehow. Now, all the Diddy. All the Diddy cases are. Now they're. They're not true because of this one case. And I'm telling you, the Diddy's lawyers, mark my words, they are going to try to use this case as much as they can, whether it's from public perception or whether it's from using it to gain favor in other cases or to say, look, you see how this victim and this got dismissed? This is the case over here. And that is what I'm afraid of. And that's what I've been afraid of. And why I'm like, the fans got enough going on. If it's not legit, we can't fool with it. So I don't know. Like I said, I was shocked just like everybody else. And I was shocked only because Tony Busby has been clearing people. And like, before I knew who he was, he cleared me and the Browns. He took us to deep waters and drowned us. So I'm telling you what I knew Tony Busby could do from firsthand experience. I underestimated them. Next thing I. It was people telling me when the desean Watson stuff was going on, it was people telling me like, no, Tony Busby does this, does that. You better not underestimate him. And I was like, we fine. The Browns got it. Deshaun Watson got it. And. And. And so that is why I had the utmost confidence in Tony Busby's ability to do his job, because he had just served us. And now here we are, Jay Z, we have to admit it. He. He said from the beginning he was going to fight it and he wasn't going to give up a penny. And that's what he did. And like I said, if for those that may think it was a. It was a behind, behind the scenes deal or whatever, I can't say it ain't because I have no proof that it is or it isn't. And so that's fair to say, because we already know we can't trust nothing out here. But if that's the case, then we got to give Tony Busby smoke, too. Then. Can't just be Jay Z. It got to be smoke on Tony Busby. Because I hope. I really hope that Tony Busby wouldn't do all of that. Have all of us rallying and doing all that and putting these victims out there and putting these victims on TV and doing all that. I hope he wouldn't do all that and then take money behind the scenes. I really hope so, but who knows? And on top of that, the only thing to look forward to this weekend was the damn All Star. And then that was terrible. The All Star game was terrible. Planes also went down. And I don't know if y'all agree or disagree, but they. The. The. The. The NBA has just destroyed the All Star weekend. I ain't gonna spend too much time talking about. I just want to give y'all my quick reaction on that because that's. I'm sad to see. There's no competing. I didn't even understand what it was. I don't even understand the game. It was like four games going on and. And Shaq and Charles Barkley had on fisherman clothes or, or like all kind of props. Kevin Hart. Y'all might disagree with me, but Kevin Hart is just not funny. It was cringe like I. Like, I was just like, come on, Kevin Hart, relax, man. Like, I know I just did not like it. And I'm a big NBA fan. I used to as a kid, I would. I would love to wait for All Star weekend and to see that what it has become is just sad. It's just sad. And the only thing could fix it is competitive. It's competitive nature. Like the players got to get back to competing. If they're not gonna compete, nobody wants to watch. Like my boy Felix said the dunk contest was dope. I did like the dunk contest. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't expect anybody to win besides McClung. Mac McClungan, whatever his name is. Mac McClung. I always get it. I've been following him since he was playing in high school, but I can never remember what his name is. Shout out to him for winning three times in a row. That's. That's another thing. And I'm. I'm a victim of it too. Let's. Let's spend less time crying about what was. What was horrible and spend a little bit more time giving the flowers to the people who actually did their thing. And so I could be guilty of the same thing. And I want to make sure we all do that. So let's give Mac McClung his flowers for winning the dunk contest. Three Pete. We were waiting on my homes to do a three peat. It didn't happen. We were waiting on. Was it Dame? I think. I think if Dame Lillard would have won the three point contest, I think that would have been a three peat for him. Correct me if I'm wrong in the chat, y'all, but he didn't get a 3P. And then Mac McClun was able to get the three piece. So let's give him some. Some flowers. Also, the young guys, Victor Wembanyama and Gildris sga, they came to play. And that has me feeling a little bit better about All Star weekends going forward. But they gonna have to go back. First of all, they're going to have to go back to east versus west or. Or USA versus the World. Those are the only two All Star games that people gonna watch. If you wanted to have east versus west like it's always been, I wouldn't be mad at that. Good. Felix made a good point. Zion. And that's another thing. So let's touch on that, too. That's another thing that kills the All Star Weekend, and that does have to go back to LeBron. And y'all know me, I'm from Cleveland. I know LeBron and him. I know Rich Paul. Me and Rich Paul, the exact same age we were when. When Rich Paul got with Floyd Mayweather. I mean, when. When Rich Paul got with LeBron, I. That was the same year I got with. With Floyd Mayweather. And we both from the same place, so we used to see each other and, you know, good vibes, good dude. Rich. Rich a good dude. That's a good camp. But y'all know I gotta keep it real. LeBron, don't be mad at me. Rich, don't be mad at me. But LeBron not competing in that dunk contest snowballed into all of this. Before LeBron, Kobe competed in it before Kobe, Jordan, Vince Carter, all kind of superstars would get into the slam dunk contest. Then LeBron came along, high flying, dunking, jumping, all of that, and just refused to do the dunk contest in a way, almost singing, seemingly like, you too good for it. That's what it seems like. Perception is reality. I don't know what LeBron's real reasons were, but from the outside looking in, that's what it looks like. And if the best player in the world is not doing it and saying it ain't worth it, or whatever his reason was, everybody followed him in that generation. So we get all no names in the dunk contest ever since, and that is what has destroyed All Star Weekend, is we don't have the stars. And so, like I tell people, they like, well, it ain't that many dunks. It ain't about the dunks, y'all. LeBron at his height, could have gotten to the dunk contest, and he could have did. He could have just threw it off the backboard and reversed it. And we gonna go crazy. So what happens is we got these no names in the contest. So now these no names, they gotta. They gotta jump off the rafters over a Kia, throw the ball off the top rim, bounce it off they head and do a backflip to dunk and impress us. Because we don't know them. We don't know them. So they gotta somersault and do 50 flips and blow out a candle and all type of stuff. And it gets to the point where it's just like, okay. And so that's where we are. People don't realize the reason why they have to do all these crazy dunks to try to get good scores is because don't nobody know them. But if John Morant went out there and just bounced, it, bounced it up in the. Threw the ball up in the air, let it bounce, and just did maybe a reverse pump dunk, we gonna give him a 50 because it's ja. Same thing with Zion. So when the. When the stars stop competing in the dunk contest, it just trickled to all that. No, no, nobody wants to compete no more. It just trickled all the way to the. To the. To the actual All Star Game, and now we just chucking up shots. The All Star Game back in the day used to look like you went to go see the elite talent when you went to somewhere. Now the All Star look like when you go to Planet. I mean, Lifetime or LA Fitness or wherever you go play ball for all you old heads. Wherever you go, play ball at. That's what the All Star Game look like now. Bunch of dudes who ain't playing defense just chucking up shots. That's what we do. You could come watch us play if you want to. If that's what you want to see. We just chucking up shots and standing around. So I was very disappointed. I'm gonna say it again. Kevin Hart is not funny. He was annoying. It was hard for me to watch. It was hard for me to watch y'all. And I love the NBA. I love. Basketball was my first love before I was assigned artists and music and rapping and before I got into social media, podcasting. I even love real estate. I have different loves that I've attacked in my life. Basketball was my very first love that I played and studied morning, noon, and night. Kind of like what I do now. So it hurts me to see what the hat. What happened to the game. And I hope that we get back to. We get back to the All Star Game that I used to know. So now before I, you know, I can't get this episode go without shouting out. The subscriber of the day. Subscribers of the. Of this podcast keep us going, keep the lights on, and keep us able, allow us to grow. And it keeps me able to come on here and keep talking about the cases that we want to talk about and not worried about corporate dollars so much. And so I appreciate it. The subscriber of the day is Natasha Kreuther. Natasha found it in her heart to give a $5 donation and subscribe to the podcast for all the exclusive content. So Natasha and everybody in chat, let's. Let's give Natasha a round of applause. Natasha, we appreciate you here at the Flow show. No filter. Round of applause if you can Hear that, hear that, hear that. I appreciate that. And also before we get the hell gone, another thing I told y'all. Did y'all? Yeah, yep. Felix, I agree with that. But see, the thing is it the creativity level is also relative to who you are. So if you're LeBron James, let's just be honest, you gonna light a dunk contest on fire in anyway. See the person named Joe Joe, Joe College, that don't nobody know he gotta be super creative. But if you LeBron or if you Zion or if you Ja, your creativity meter is a lot lower to impress us. That's just how I go. That's just like a comedian. Dave Chappelle might tell the same joke at some no name, but you gonna laugh quicker when David Chappelle say it. Then there's no name. You don't know. It's kind of just like human nature, you know, it ain't really no, but forget all that. Have y'all been paying attention like I told y'all about these planes? I hate to keep saying it, but y'all know on this podcast that's one of the things I said. What dang near what December, November on this podcast is to be careful with these planes. Now everybody talking about it. Check out what this guy say and tell me what you think.

In a way we go. Another plane has crashed and this one complete plane was coming from Minneapolis and crash landed in Toronto. It had about 80 passengers on board with eight being injured and one in critical condition. Not to mention just a couple days ago another plane crash occurred killing two people in Georgia. Can we all agree that we are in a plain demic right now? Because this isn't normal and I may have some insight on what's really going on. Now I posted this in late December stating that we are in a plain demic with all these happening within a week from Brazil, Kazakhstan, Canada, South Korea, Norway. But this is not where the story begins begins. This really all started last year when these two whistleblowers mysteriously dies. Joshua Dean and John Barnett were two airline industry whistleblowers blowing the lid on the entire industry about quality control and maintenance. And this is mainly with Boeing. Now John, he was actually in the middle of a major legal battle with Boeing. And during the middle unalives himself. Then Joshua, he was also in quality control and parts. He just magically gets sick and and dies. Coincidence. Let's keep going. Next, let's not forget that China has Been running a muck on us because it's just been.

Reported that Chinese hackers have ran amuck on our telecoms network for the past 18 months, exposing info for a million people. And the fact that this has been happening with our infrastructure, our water system, cyber security data, red note, Tik Tok, Deep seek. You get it. Now the question is, who makes a lot of our airline parts? Oh, would you look at that. So China supplies parts for several Boeing aircraft, such as the 737, the 787, the Triple 7, and Boeing has a completion and delivery center based in China for the 737. Now, I'm just spitballing here, but if China wanted to attack us, it wouldn't be boots on the ground. It would be, I don't know, our info, our infrastructure, maybe some planes. I even find it more suspicious that in the last 12 months. We've had more plane crashes in the last 12 years and China has none. I asked AI just to verify, hey, has China had any plane crashes in the last 12 months? It says no. There's been no reported plane crashes in the last 12 months. Based on the available information, their most recent plane crash was on March 21, 2022, almost three years ago. Math, not mathing. So the question is, what did these two guys really know in our dealings with China and Boeing and the whole aerospace industry? Maybe they were going to expose somebody or something that was so big they had to get them out of here. But let me know what you guys think below. Are you guys flying any plans right now? Let me know below. No way. We go.

It is amazing to me how when I said wasn't no big thing, if you remember, y'all been, Y'all been. For those that have been listening to this podcast, y'all know that when I said don't, don't stay away from planes unless you have to, nobody was saying that. Y'all can be my witnesses. Nobody was saying that. And I was, like I said, I was just saying it. Just reading the room. I didn't have no, no hidden, no, no secret source or anything. I was just looking at what was going on and I'm like, something ain't right. And I did cover that story he's talking about. I covered that on my tick tock a long time ago about those whistleblowers. But that still wasn't even the reason why I said stay away from it. I just. I just had this feeling that it just something wasn't right. And now it feels totally crazy that now everybody's talking about it. Everybody's making videos like that about what's going on with the planes. I told y'all, I didn't know why, but I'm just glad people who listened listened or that people who at least know that, hey, I wasn't just talking out the side of my neck, which I never do. If I'm saying something, I believe it and I feel it. And so I don't know what the heck going on. I'm gonna do some more research, but I gotta get to the bottom of this plane thing before I. I have to get on in a minute. My. I'm gonna have to get on it because my son graduating and his birthday coming up, so I'm gonna have to. I'm gonna have to get back into, you know, I stayed on a plane. Give you guys, give you an example. One of my friends, she has been a flight attendant. I would think she's probably been a flight attendant for about at least 15. 15 years now. She's been a flight attendant, maybe more, but let's say at least 15 years. She ain't never been afraid to fly. She never thought twice. I don't care what was going on. She ain't never show any fear about flying. Yesterday she posted she is scared of flying for the first time ever in her life. Now, this is a flight attendant who's been a flight attendant state. Been on planes for 15, maybe even 20 years, but let's just say 15 years and she ain't. She has never said she was afraid of flying. Even she's been a. A flight attendant throughout. A lot of, like, you know, incidents that have took place with planes and this and that. She never said that yesterday or whatever. One of. Over the weekend, she posted she is afraid to fly. Now, I don't know what's going on, y'all, but I will definitely continue to look into it. And just so y'all know, my all faithful listeners on Apple and Spotify, y'all listening to me, everybody, on YouTube for the most part. Weekends and holidays, I will be off. And I only do that because, to be honest, y'all, I could be on here every day, all day, talking. I love doing it. I love kicking it with y'all. I do weekend. I told myself to do weekends and. And holidays off to make sure I take a break. And also because on weekends and holidays, people don't really. People aren't really engaging in podcasts or engaging in live shows as much. So I figured, like, okay, that's a good time for me to take a break so I don't burn myself out. Because I like to do it so I really could do it every day. But I know eventually I will burn myself out somehow, and I don't want to do that. So just so y'all know, the schedule, if it's a holiday, I'm probably off because of that holiday or the weekend. Other than that, y'all know I'm gonna be here. Other than that, please, if you have an issue with the subscription, I try to say this in every episode.
