Welcome to the Flow show no Filter. Join us every day at 7:30am Monday through Friday. Or you could catch it anytime you want on Apple, Apple and Spotify. YouTube got a crazy one today, man. Shannon Sharp. Diddy. Mo Diddy and Mo Diddy and Mo. Shannon. This sexual assault lawsuits are getting out of control. I don't know who's to blame, but I just know I don't like it. It's just too much, too many. And you know, you got victims, but in the midst of the victims, you got hidden agendas by different people. So many of my listeners and people who follow me on social media have hit me up with the same kind of like the same vibe of saying, like, at this point, we don't know who to believe, who to, who's bad, who's good, who can we trust? We are just in the crowd watching. And I'm in the crowd with y'all. At this point, I don't really know what to say. Well, you know what? I'm a. One thing I am going to do is tell you what I think and say whatever come from my heart. Oh, man. So Diddy, let's go. Diddy scored a major win today. Oh, well, he scored a major win this week in court with Cassie. We gonna talk a little bit about that. But Shannon Sharp is dominating the media airwaves right now. So, you know, we gotta talk about that. Just sad, y'all. And, and, and the Shannon Sharp situation. I'm gonna tell you, you don't. You don't even have to get into if you think she. She's telling the truth or if it's a. If it's a money grab that's going to be decided in the courts. But what it is is a lesson. You can't. You know, when you play in the mud, my family used to always tell me, if you play in the mud, you're going to get dirty. And disappointing. Disappointing to me to see Shannon in this position because he should know better. He's had previous, previous altercations with women that led to restraining orders and all type of stuff. We're going to get into that. And I'm a place. Shannon's statement and it's just, it's just disappointing. Like I said, I'm a big Shannon Sharpe fan. I, I look, I won't say I look up to him, but I hold him in a high regard. And to think that he is texting and going back and forth and arguing with a 19 or 20 year old when he's almost 60 is just disappointing. And here we are, Diddy, we gonna get into his major win first. Because you know one thing about it, we have been together on this journey of this podcast and of this Diddy trial. So no, I don't care what comes up. That is kind of the first thing we're going to get out the way is the Diddy situation. But the Shannon Sharp is. It's really, really, really sad actually. You know, if, if he, if he really did rape this woman, it's foul. And even if he didn't, his, his indiscretions and his bad decisions led to what's going on right now. So we're gonna get into that today. Welcome to everybody. Great day to you. Monique Kingdom said it's crazy. It definitely is. C Tuck says good morning to everybody in the flow flowing crew. Make sure y'all like the live and everything. So. And also, Flo's Kitchen is open today, but I'm gonna save it for the end. And I gotta say something about this Aries Spears jerk. I'm trying to be light with my words. Aries Spears just came for my city, Cleveland, and I'm gonna save it for the end because we need to get to the real stuff right now. But Aries Spears, please y'all share this to him. Anybody I got, I'm going in on him at the end of this show. He pissed me off. Don't come from my city. Y'all know I love my city, Cleveland. Born and raised. I'm a Cleveland boy at heart. Cleveland. The reason why y'all hear me is because of the Cleveland in me. Because a Cleveland person, we don't stop and we real. We don't care about no glitz and glamour. We don't care about none of that. I'm gonna get into that though. But let's start off with this major win that Diddy had before I get into Aries Spears jerk ass. So what's the major win, y'all? We gotta talk about it. Diddy secure. I'm take this from msn. Diddy secures a early look at Cassie's memoir drafts in federal court battle ahead of May trial. So if you know Diddy was trying to get his. Her bank statements, Cassie's bank statements, because he's. He felt that they would show that he. That he. She was paid off large sums of money from liquor companies to bring Diddy down. And the judge said no to the bank statements, but he said yes to this memoir. And a lot of people thinking there are some things in this memoir that may help Diddy's case. I don't know. I haven't seen the memoir, heard anything from it, but we're going to dig into this article and see what we find, y'all. So the article goes on. Sean Diddy Combs has been granted access to early drafts of a memoir believed to be authored by singer Cassie Ventura. This is following a recent ruling by Judge Subramanian. Now, y'all, in this memoir, many people believe and are speculating that there are some things in the memoir that will prove that this was a shakedown from Cassie or that Cassie was just in it for the money. I don't know. I'm just telling you what Diddy's side is saying. And they also believe it would be damaging to her. Her. Her testimony. Let's continue. The ruling, which was part of Diddy's active, active federal case, orders that the previously submitted unpublished copies be delivered to his attorneys by April 25, which would be Friday. So they have to Friday to turn over this memoir. Now, this decision is a legal win for Diddy, albeit a small one, but it nevertheless, it is a victory. Diddy's former fling, they call her. In the article, Cassie Ventura is said to be a key witness for the government and is expected to take the stand at trial. The rapper has repeatedly denied any abuse of Ventur and also claims everything was consensual. We beg to differ, but that's neither here nor there. Anna Esteveo, an attorney for Diddy, you know, he has about 3,000 attorneys. This is. This is another attorney for Diddy told the court that discrepancies between Ventura's manuscript and statements given to her could be key to attacking her credibility. So what they're looking to depict in here, guys, is they want to look at things that she's told prosecutors or things that she has put in her, you know, in her written statements and stuff like and so on and so forth. Well, they believe there are discrepancies. They believe that she's saying one thing in the book and a whole nother thing in this case. Are they correct? We shall see. We're getting close to court time. Just breaking it down for y'all now. Prosecutors have lost on this one. The draft manuscript contradicts Ventura's current statements and is crucial to the defense said by Diddy. Diddy's team. Ventura's lawyers and federal prosecutors had previously sought to keep the defense from reviewing the documents. See prosecutors knew that this could muddy the water a bit and also they also trying to protect the victim because they don't want the victim to get dug into and get humiliated on the stand because you know Diddy's defense is going to throw everything and the kitchen sink at Cassie and try to discredit her. That's what defense attorneys do. And so they didn't want this book to come out because now this is just something that they'll be able to dice up and, and, and, and chop up and try to paint narratives. You know, the whole game. Now the prosecutors opinion was that granting Diddy access to look at the drafts would be an invasion of privacy and irrelevant to the criminal proceedings. Just like I said, they know it's going to, the defense is going to twist the words around and try to make Cassie to look out like a money hungry liar. And actually the memoirs don't serve any purpose in this particular case. But at any rate, like I told you before, the defense is going to throw anything and everything at the wall and see what sticks. Actually so far nothing has stuck but they will continue. But despite what the prosecution said, Judge Subramanian found that the defense can access, only, can have access only to the drafts already in the hands of the government. So nothing outside of no, no personal drafts or anything like that. The only drafts they can have access to is, is what was provided to the government. Now the remaining requests for additional material, including Ventura's diaries, emails, financial records and notes were denied. Now the lawsuit itself has unfolded into a full view, into full view of the public. Especially after surveillance camera footage was released showing Diddy punching Ventura in a loss Angeles hotel. The release of the video earlier this year caused nationwide outrage and led Diddy to make a public statement where he took full responsibility for his actions. And we all know now he's not taking full responsibility. His team is saying the, the, the, the, the, the, the footage was sped up which made him look like he was more violent, was more violent than he actually was. They even said he looked fat in it because it was an iPhone 6. They said it was chopped up in the timestamps, didn't show the sequence of events. And to that I say if I punched you first and then I kicked you second but the video shows that I kicked you first and I punched you second, does that mean I'm free? Does that get me off? I'm asking y'all, if I slam you first and then I throw a vase on your head next. But in the video we show me hitting you with the vase first and then I slam you, does that mean those slams and those. That violence didn't happen? Or does it mean it was any less harmful because of the sequence of events? I don't know. That's just my common sense talking and saying, I don't think so. Just another thing that they've thrown against the wall that I don't think has stuck. You be the judge. Now, the other looming issue is whether or not the video will be allowed in as evidence. Judge Subramanian has yet to rule on that. You know, I've been watching that like a fucking hawk, and he hasn't ruled on that yet. But his ruling could also exert considerable influence on this trial. I don't know if he's going to rule on it on Friday. I don't know when he's going to rule on it. But I know at some point he will rule on that video, and that is very damaging for Diddy. Great. Great point, Sherry. Sherry says until till DV is better understood and the grave effects it has on the brain survivors will continue to be abused over and over by the justice system, the politic. I'm sorry, the police. And they're perpetrators. This is a big deal for me. I'm with you, Sherry, on that. The system is broken in a lot of different ways. It's broken for my community, is broken for women who have been victim of domestic violence. It definitely needs to be fixed. I don't know exactly how to fix it, but I just know it needs to be fixed. It's kind of like a car. I'm not a fucking mechanic. But when it won't start up, I know it needs to be fixed, but do I know how to fix it? Hell, no. But I ain't a mechanic, so that's the mechanic's job. And that's the government's job to get this shit together. Because I agree wholeheartedly with Sherry. It's. It's a broken system. Let me move on. We have to. But as far as we can't do anything about it. So this. This is going to be a very hard trial for many of y'all to watch and listen to or even to cover. I mean, it's. It's. It's. You already see where we're going and I think Sherry knows it and sees that this will get nasty. And I'm going to tell you it's going to get nasty because for one on one hand, Diddy has already proved he doesn't care and he's fighting for his freedom, which if we just being honest, anybody is going to do anything they can to fight for their freedom. And in doing that, you are going to see victims or alleged victims embarrassed, humiliated. And it's not going to be for the faint of heart. At any rate, like I said, I will definitely continue to keep a close eye on, on the evidence. I'm waiting on a ruling, I'm waiting on the ruling of is the video evidence of Cassie being hit and beat on, is that going to be admitted? As soon as I get word on that, I will not only talk about it on the podcast, but if you follow me on social media, I will immediately do a breaking news video on that. Now, to the other man of the hours, Mr. Shannon Sharp. This is sad. This is, this was avoidable. No matter what actually went on. The courts will decide that. But this could have been easily avoidable. Shannon Sharp went. Shannon Sharp could have avoided this. And, and the sad thing is, y'all know I'm, I get into the backstory. You know, everybody else just talks about what's on the surface and gets clicks and views. Y'all know I take a deep dive and, and I really look into it and I like to see the root or, or the root of a problem or not even just the root of a problem, but I like to see is there any, were there any warning signs to this particular person before. And before I get into Shannon Sharp offered the accuser that's accusing him of sexual assault. To give you a little background, Shannon Sharp, the, the, the ex football player, the big time podcaster, ESPN First Take star. He is being sued for 50 million for rape of a 20 year old. He's in his mid-50s. Some of the updates to that are. It is now found out that he offered her $10 million and she declined, which doesn't look good for him. But not only that, Shannon Sharpe should have learned from a previous incident. Let's take it all the way back to 2010. Shannon Sharp was working for CBS after he retired. He actually replaced Deion Sanders as a sports analyst. Worked hard to get there. Then he started dating a female, or whatever they want to call it, dating whatever arrangement they had. Her name was Michelle Bundy. And as the old saying goes, it was all good until it wasn't Michelle Bundy this new woman that, that. This new woman that Shannon Sharp started dating or seeing or whatever you want to call it, ended up filing for a restraining order against Shannon Sharpe. Now what was this restraining order? What were the basis of this restraining order? Well, this restraining order claimed threats and also force, forced intimacies and things of that nature. Needless to say, Shannon Sharp had to take a leave of absence from CBS and was eventually let go because of this. But the crazy part is J. Just like this one. Well, I'm not going to say just like this one, but the previous one was sketchy. But let's dive into the details before I describe to you how sketchy this previous one was. But the thing is, you put yourself in these positions, you get what you ask for. So let's, let's dive into that. What happened? Well, Shannon Sharpe had to take a leave of absence because of a similar situation that's already happened. This, this is why I say he should have learned his lesson. He was fortunate enough to have this same exact scenario happen before. And so you can't bump your head on the same wall. So let's think. Well, okay, so it says Shannon Sharp, former all pro tight end, has taken a leave of absence from his job as NFL analyst of at CBS after having sexual assault allegations brought against him. Michelle Bundy received a temporary restraining order against Sharp after filing a petition under the family violence category. Sharp is alleged to have threatened Bundy's life and forced her to have sex, according to court documents. And then that was that forced Shannon Sharpe to leave CBS and take a leave of absence. Does this story sound familiar? But that is not where the story ends. You see, not too long after that, friends of Michelle Bundy came out and said she's a flat out liar and she is trying. It's a money grab. This is what her friend said. This is an actual article. So not too long after that, the restraining order was dismissed. And so now let's fast forward up to the. To what's going on. Now. See, this is why I say I'm not even here to argue about if he did, if he raped, if he didn't, I'm gonna let the courts and I'm gonna let more stuff come out to even get into that. But it's so much to unpack before we even get to that part. Anyway, this is why I say, whether he did it or not, he is at fault. And it's very disappointing. I've even heard people say, or people in my comments, only men in my comments say, well, she was legal. I don't see what the big deal is. Actually, one woman said that she said she's legal. So I'm confused. But my only reply to them, and nobody has yet to respond to my reply, I said, your daughter at 19 brings home a 56 year old man. You're not going to say anything. Are you going to be content with the she's legal? I haven't had one person tell me they would be fine with that. But see, one thing that a lot of us have a problem with and we don't and we don't do, and what I'm good at, which helps me do my job, is you got to put yourself in different people's shoes before you talk shit. My uncle Marv used to call it flipping it and he taught me that. He said if you want to look at, if you want to totally look at the total picture of a problem or issue or a story or anything, go from your take, take this, take your version or your perspective and then flip it and put yourself directly in that scenario. Then you will get an honest answer. So let me take a little further. It ain't your daughter, it ain't your sister, it ain't your nothing. So it's easy to sit back and don't even think of, don't even put too much thought in and say, hey, she's legal. I don't know what the big idea, what the big deal is, but the moment you put yourself in her father's shoes or her mother's shoes, or her brother's shoes, and you say your sister, your daughter comes home, she's 19, she's one year removed from high school, and she brings home a 56 year old man. What person in this world is not going to say something about that? Speak loud and see the reason why nobody answered that question when I asked them that. They just kind of floated off into the universe. Because if you follow me on social media, you know, I'm, I'm, I'm good at going in them comments and giving you some truth. And most of the time they run because I put you in a corner. Now you have to say, oh yeah, I would be good with that. But nobody wants to say that out loud. So kill the she's legal. Because we're not talking about legal, illegal age limits right here. We're talking about bad decisions, horrible decisions. And so here we are. And I'm gonna be flat honest, I'm not feeling Tony Busby. I wish victims going forward would find somebody else. Tony Busby. Has a whole mess he needs to clean up. It's been proven. And you know, I was, I actually was impressed early on when he did the desean Watson thing with Buzz because he made a believer out of me. But it's. Ever since then, the courts. I'm not talking about Jay Z. I'm not talking about. This is not my opinion. This is nobody's opinion. This is the courts. The courts have said he has been rushing to judgment. He has not vetted his clients. Good. He, he is operating in cases that he was not licensed for. This is all the court. This is not opinion. And so I'm hoping that going forward, victims or alleged victims will find another attorney. Because whether she is being honest or not, the fact that Tony Busby is handling it is damaging her case. That is the one saving grace that Shannon Sharp has right now. People are not taking anything Tony Busby brings serious right, seriously right now. But that even, that's not even the point. The point is even with Shannon. And I'm giving Shannon Sharp some tough love and some straightforward talk because he's good at doing it on his show. He's good at telling everybody what the fuck to do and not to do and how you shouldn't handle this and how you should handle that and all that shit. He's good at that. So sometimes now you got to sit your ass down, Shannon Sharp, and open up your fucking ears so you can learn something. Because I don't even like Shannon Sharp's response to these allegations. He's responding like a man who still hasn't learned his lesson and still doesn't realize what role you played in there. You talk. He, he. And I'm gonna play the clip. He, he called it a shakedown. But their shakedown doesn't re. It exists if you do what a 56 year old successful man should be doing. And if you're not doing it, you should at least be acknowledging the fact that, hey, I need to be somebody's husband. Riding off into the sunsp sunset and staying out of 20 year old worlds, Arguing with them and, and, and, and sexting and threatening and then now we got to decipher. Did you, did you say when you said you were gonna. I'm gonna get into it. Let me play the clips before I get too far ahead of myself. Let me play the clips and then we will take, and we'll take it from there. This is just, it's just crazy. But yeah, let me play these clips guys and then we'll, we'll get, we'll get to the meat of this. Like, I don't know, anything I say, you're just gonna like, get mad at and you're just gonna hang up on me. So I feel like I'm not gonna.
Unknown
Hang up on you is what it is.
Flo
What. What does that even mean?
Unknown
Nothing yet. You want to be a dick to.
Flo
Me now, so I don't want to be. Don't manipulate me.
Unknown
If you said that one one more time, I'm gonna choke the out of you when I see you.
Flo
Thank. Then go to the next clip. So basically he's saying they're talking on the phone and he's saying that she's saying that he's, he's, he's. He's just gonna hang up on her. She's claiming he's being manipulative. And there is even a text message of her saying, and this could all be, like I said, this could be true or this could be all a setup. I don't know. But the problem is. A problem whether. I don't even need to get into that. The problem is what are you on the. Why are you on the phone and saying this type of stuff and even engaging in this type of dialog when you damn near 60 and this person is 20 or 19 or 20. It's even text messages of, of her saying she's, she's crying or whatever. And like I said, I'm not here to say if it's true or not because I don't know and I'm letting stuff come out. But the thing is, it doesn't matter because he is, he should know better. This is cr. To even hear him actually talking. She sounds like a 19 year old. She's saying the type of things that 19 year olds say. And she sounds so young. And then you got this grandpa, like, come on, Shannon. They got text messages saying that she asked them to put a rubber, a condom on and, and, and, and, and he didn't. And then he put it in her backside and this and that. And it's just like some people saying, hey, this sounds like a setup. It sounds like she orchestrated this. But then at the same time, I'm still looking at Shannon like, even if this was orchestrated, you were a willing participant in this crap. And as somebody who really looked at, looks at Shannon as a, as a, as a hard worker, a guy with some knowledge, and, and, and, and he was a podcast and I was watching Club Shay Shay. You know, Club Shishay is. A lot of people don't even know it's Been out for about three, four years pretty much. I've been watching it since the first episode. So I'm disappointed. See, I don't have to. It ain't even about is this set up or is it. I'm disappointed that he's even in put himself and allowed himself to be even be in this position. He put a statement out. I'm gonna play his statement as well. And you tell me what y'all think. Foreign.
Unknown
Colleagues, I want to speak to you directly and from the heart. This is a shakedown. I'm going to be open, transparent and defend myself because this isn't right. This is all being orchestrated by Tony Busby who was targeted. Jay Z. Tony Busby targets now.
Flo
I'ma stop right there. That's another thing, Shannon, why are you bringing up Jay Z? And y'all know I'm not a Jay Z defender. I was a fan. I like Jay Z's music. But this is just the facts. You, Shannon, are in a nasty trifling allegations. You got some trifling allegations going on. You are the news is everywhere. And your statement in your first 10 seconds, you name dropping Jay Z. You bringing another man into your mess. Jay Z, whether you like him or don't like him, he didn't offer a dime. And he handled his with Tony Busby right through the courts. If you a fair person, you gotta look at it and say, hey, he handled it through the courts. And until we hear anything else, Jay Z's out of the woods for now. But I still think it just, it just says something, I don't know, like you don't put nobody else name in no crap like this and use them to make your case look stronger because Jay Z was dismissed. And now you kind of want to. You kind of, Shannon, you kind of want to place your, you want to place your case and kind of make it, make it in line with Jay Z's. I, I know the manipulation taxi tactics and I don't like it. And anybody who's offended or mad, hey, watch, watch nightcap. Watch Shannon Sharp. Watch what he said about DeSean Watson and how he went in about DeSean Watson. He was probably the meanest person about Deshaun Watson. He was caught up in, in some massage freakiness allegations and Busby took him down. For those that don't know, DeSean Watson, quarterback for the Cleveland Browns. Not no more though. But Shannon Sharpe goes off on everybody when he feels like he wants to kick some knowledge. So now it's his time turn to listen. So I don't want to hear nobody's mouth. I've been watching Club Shay Shay since four years ago. I'm a real fan. But y'all know me, I'm a real. I, I give real talk and I'm going to give it to you straight. I don't care if it's somebody I'm a fan of or not, because I'm really disappointed. I'm going to let this clip continue, but I just had to stop it right there. Like I didn't even like that. Don't bring anybody else name into this. Handle your shit, Shannon.
Unknown
Black men. And I believe he's going to release a 30 second clip of a sex tape that tries to make me look guilty and played into every stereotype you could possibly imagine. That video should actually be 10 minutes or so. Hey, Tony, instead of releasing your edit, put the whole video out. I don't have it or I would myself. You know what happened and you're trying to manipulate the media. The encounter in question took place during the day at her invitation. And now that appears to be a deliberate setup coordinated by Gavin, also known as Carly on Onlyfans. Gabby and Tony Busby want $50 million. What they're getting is sued for defamation and trying to take me down. My career is all about real talk and honesty. I know my family and fans know exactly what this is about. And I'm going to be out there telling you whatever I need to say, just like I always do. I love all you guys. Thanks.
Flo
Now let me tell you another thing. And I'm just telling you the missteps that along this way that, that, that J. Shannon Sharp has made, in my opinion, another thing. He immediately. She was a Jane Doe. He immediately put her name out. That's his business. This is his case to fight. I'm just giving my opinion. That don't look good. Putting out her text messages and I'm talking about. It might give you a little, a little. It might help you in a public opinion court, the court of public opinion. It might help you there. But in the real courts, when you're dealing with lawyers and the judge and this and that, I'm telling y'all, you know, I cover these cases. This is all I do. So I see cases and I see the fundamentals that usually work out well for defendants. And then I see certain tactics that never work out well. And so if you notice, there was a lot of controversy about Jay Z. He knew that. He knew about who the, you know, because his accuser was a Jane Doe and it was A lot of speculation. Did Jay Z find out, you know, early on about her name and this and that. But let me give you another difference. Shannon Sharpe, since you called out, since you brought up Jay Z's name, He didn't publicly put her name out. That just don't look good. And it didn't do anything for Shannon's case. It didn't do anything but let us know at least know who he's talking about. And now everybody can harass her or whatever. And that just wasn't a smart move, in my opinion. And like I said, it's getting ugly and it's going to get uglier. There are text messages being dropped every day that's saying different things. None of them are good in Shannon's case. Now, now, now, also another thing like that didn't look good. He offered her $10 million. This was said by j. By Shannon Sharp's actual attorney. This isn't speculation. You know, it's always speculation until we get confirmation. And we got confirmation from Shannon's lawyer that he offered her $10 million and she declined it. That doesn't look good either. That doesn't look good either. Now I'm gonna give you both scenarios of why he would offer $10 million and why. And she declined it. But I'm gonna give you two scenarios that why he would offer 10 million. Because the. The easy answer is he offered her 10 million because he's guilty. That could be. That could be the case. But they're also. He could been off, offered her $10 million because they were getting. They were. They. He knew. You know, she knew that they get. They did freaky stuff. And she laid back and said, okay, this time, you know, we're into choking. And if you see the text message that even he exposed. See, this is why I'm saying Shannon Sharp did himself no favors by putting out those text messages. Because in those text messages, we know from Shannon's. From Shannon's own evidence that they are into kinky, freaky, corn hub stuff. And so, you know, choking, whatever with all that, right? So she could have said, okay, I'm a record this particular session. And when he get into that choking, disrespectful mode and. And doing this and that, I got him dead to rights. I'm not saying that's what happened. I'm just giving you both scenarios. And the reason. Follow me. The reason I'm giving you both scenarios is this. Whether he is guilty or innocent don't even matter. That's why I'm giving You both scenarios. Because the bottom line is your ass shouldn't have been there, Shannon. That's my point. Because you're looking at trouble regardless. You got to hang with your peers. You gotta grow up, bro. And you gotta look in the mirror. Why am I almost 60, got everything in the world, hundreds of millions or millions or whatever. And I'm arguing back and forth with somebody's 20 year old daughter and, and doing all this artist and violating her or any way, even if she's a willing participant. The fact that you don't feel bad about that, that's a problem. And I don't give a anybody who thinks. Oh man, why you saying that you tearing them down. She was legal. I already discussed the legal part. This ain't about she legal at 18. So 18 and 60 year old, you good with that? They come home to your house. So like I said, I can say this. I've been watching, I've been watching Shannon Sharp since the 1990 when he played tight end for the Denver Broncos. I was a little kid so I've been following and been have been into Shannon Sharp's career path since 1990. I was watching Club Shay Shay three years before Cat Williams interview. 90% of the world know about Club Shay Shay didn't even know about him until then. So I'm not a hater, I'm not trying to hate on him. I've actually been upfront and honest that I have been a Shannon Sharp fan. I was a fan of him as a football player, I was a fan of him as a, as a CBS analyst. I, I was a fan of him on ESPN and I was a fan of Club Shay Shay. So I am just here saying the shit that he needs to hear. Ain't no shakedown if you ain't there. You got to pardon me. No y'all, this is, this is, this, this is, this is hard. This is, this has got my head all up for a lot of different reasons. And as this week progresses I'm sure more gonna come out today. And I guarantee you one thing, I've already stayed out of the way and, and stayed away from harmful situations. But this is just a reminder. He just signed he over the weekend, what was it? Friday news had broke that he had a hundred million dollar contract on the table for his podcast. Both his podcast Nightcap and Club Shay Shay. I don't think that's going to happen now. Also Stephen A. Smith, the executive producer, the, the star of ESPN matter of fact is Stephen A. Smith just signed a hundred million dollar Contract. He just spoke, he said he's disappointed in so many words because if you know when, when Fox, y'all remember, Shannon Sharp was on what Is that Undisputed with Skip Bayless. It's confusing. They say he left on his own and then they say they fired him. Whatever, he had to move on. And Stephen A. Smith scooped up Shannon Sharp when nobody wanted to fuck with him. Like I always say on this podcast, one thing you gonna get on this podcast, you're gonna get the real story. Because I've been following these people like a hawk anyway, so I know every single detail. I was there, I watched this, I watched sports, I, I told y'all, I just do this podcast. But I'm a avid sports fan and so let me give you the, the history of that. Stephen A. Smith scooped up Shannon Sharp when nobody wanted to touch him, they were trying to blackball him. Stephen A. Smith stuck his neck out, scooped up Shannon Sharp and brought him on espn and everything was good until it wasn't. And now Stephen A. Smith is like, I brought him on and now look. And not saying it like he didn't throw him under the bus, but he spoke honestly on his podcast. And Shannon, I mean Stephen A. Smith said he spoke to the, the bosses because Stephen A. Smith said, I'm the executive producer but I ain't the boss. He said he spoke with the bosses at ESPN and they, ESPN is saying that they are looking into this case and they are taking it very seriously. Don't be surprised if Shannon is let go from ESPN behind this. And I'm going to say it again, whether he's guilty of rape or not guilty or not guilty is only important in the court. But when it comes to your job, your brands, a company you work for, their bar isn't guilty or not guilty on rape. Their bar is can I trust this person's decisions? And just like me, I work my ass off to build the flow show no filter. And I'm not going to let name one person tear my brand up because I worked hard to build it. Same thing goes for espn. They're not going to be get mud thrown on them because Shannon Sharp is making 20 year old decisions. Foreign this is going to get ugly. Yesterday I already told y'all, I love the fact that my podcast is pretty much the first one in the morning because I get to say what I say. I get to give y'all my take. And I don't know if y'all watch everybody else, but if you watch throughout the day, you'll Hear so many different bloggers and podcasters in YouTube echo exactly what I'm saying. Now I'm like either I'm dead on every time. Are these people watching the Flow show no Filter, these, these other YouTubers, podcasters and bloggers because I purposely listen to people and see and, and definitely come in think with my own take. I come in with my own take of my own mind. I don't say nothing besides the actual facts. But as far as my opinions, I don't take my opinions from anybody else, but I definitely see my opinions float around after the Flow show no Filter airs in the morning. And I don't mind it, but I'm also going to call it, call it like it is. So, Shannon Sharp, this could be a shakedown, but it's a shakedown that you shouldn't be a part of. You should never be a part of this. So as more and more evidence comes out, I will continue to cover and watch this closely. But if you offer $10 million and she declined it, whether you believe or don't believe she did it or not, that's a hell of a lot of money to turn down if you don't have any evidence. And like I said, the evidence can be tricky when you into that freaky freakiness and it's not with your wife. You getting freaky with people off only fans. Why, what the hell do you expect? And I'm not speaking to the young lady. I'm speaking to the decisions that Shannon's making. As a man who has put himself in position to have his pick of whoever I, for the life of me, I'm not, I'm not a centimeter, I'm not a smidget close to as big as Shannon Sharp. But I do have major platforms and I am known. There is no freaking way that I'm gonna be going back and forth and texting and doing all this stuff and nasty and this and that at 50 something 60 with no 20, 19 year old. Like I'm just, I just can't believe he didn't know that was dangerous for many reasons, even outside of the actual rape part of it. I don't understand how a 56 year old man texting and arguing and whatever they were doing with a 20 year old, I don't understand how he didn't think that would go bad. Y'all help me with that, send me some messages, give me some. Because I think more of y'all can reach out to me. I don't know if y'all know how, how accessible I am. But the people who do DM me. You can DM me your thoughts. You can DM me. I like to hear them because I swear to God, some of these cases make me feel like I'm a fucking alien because it just don't make no sense to me. I would be scared out of my mind to be texting and sexting and talking about choking and choking a 2019 year old. Like, I would be, I would be scared to do. I would know, like, oh, this is, this is bad. Like, this could go wrong. Laura said he's not thinking with his brain. Yeah, he's not. And I, and, and one thing I can say about this, I don't want to hear that tearing down nobody on this one because see what one thing I have by having half a million followers and, and covering this every day, I get to talk to a lot of different people in my DMs and in my comments, I get to see a lot of opinions. And for the most part, I don't care if you black, white, grand, green, purple, man, woman. For the most part, everybody is behind Shannon even. But when I say behind, meaning, everybody's still waiting for stuff to come out. Nobody is. You know, we know anything is possible. He could have done this. We weren't there. But most of us think that Shannon would know better. But I'm telling you, no matter what demographic people are giving Shannon his fair shake, they're not just bashing him and, and running with the story. It's a lot of people that are like me, that are just disappointed and wondering how, how, like why, how? And I'm gonna tell you another thing. Whether he did it or not, this is going to damage his brand because a big part of Shannon's brand is telling what they should be doing and not doing and, and saying what he does. I mean, he even went so far as to say, we know when Deshaun Watson got in that problem, he said, yeah, you know, I'm very careful. If I see a, if I see a lady on the elevator, if I'm on the elevator and, and another woman gets on the elevator, I get off to make sure because I don't know. Now that sounds like bullshit. Shannon and I love you, but that's bullshit. That sounds like bullshit. One hand you telling us on YouTube, on your show that you're so careful with females because of everything that's going on, that if you're on the elevator and a female gets on the elevator, whether that's your stop or not, you get off. So if you that careful, how the fuck did you get caught up in this then? Is my question. And so my only point is, I'm going say it again. Whether he's guilty or not, this has damaged his, his brand and his name in a way that is forever. This thing will be forever because he is on his high horse. I ain't the only one be feeling bad for OO on the show. And if for those that don't watch the show, let me give you a little context, because one thing about me, y'all know, I break down. And sometimes when I first started, like on content, not on podcasts, people would be upset with me because I explained everything. And they'd be like, we know this, we know that, but they don't know. That's why my videos are getting a million views, because I explain everything as if nobody knows anything. That's the secret y'all out there. To anybody out there that want to make content, media content and podcasts, don't be worried about the few people that know every fucking thing. Every time you post something, explain it like, nobody knows. They don't know shit about what you talking about. So Ocho is also a former football player and a wide receiver, played for the Bengals. He is on the show Nightcap with Shannon Sharp. And a lot of times, Shannon Sharp, the role is they play like, he's like the big brother, Shannon, and he's always dogging and ridiculing OO in front of everybody about being laid. And if he's late for a show and then he talks about how I, this is what. How I handle. I'm never. I do this, I do that. You know, every scenario, it's been. Scenario it's been so bad that people be in the comments like, damn, leave OO alone. Well, now what, Shannon, you can't say shit to Ocho no more. You got to get this in order. We got to figure out, do you like, can. Can you talk to a 40 year old or 50 year old or shit, even a 30 year old. We don't want to hear no more advice, bro. We don't want to hear, this is a brother talking to you. This is somebody saying something that you need to hear. I'm not clout chasing. I'm not a hater. I've said it over and over again. I've told you how I feel about Shannon Sharp. But this is why everybody needs a flow. Everybody needs a flow in their corner. Because I got a flow in my corner. It's my best friend Darnell. See the thing about real friends, we gonna call you out and tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. And people who can't handle the truth take that as you're mean or you're this or you're that. No, that's love. Cause see what I'm saying to Shannon Sharpe right now, if I was in this scenario, this is what my boy Darnell would be telling me. He wouldn't be holding back shit. And you need that. You need to hear it. You don't need everybody coddling you and saying, Shannon, yeah, this is shakedown. And, and, and she's just a money grab. She's just looking for money. That's what you want to hear, Shannon, but you, what you need to hear is that your ass had no business there in the first place. Because if your daughter was 19, Shannon, I'm talking to you and only you. If your daughter was 19 because you have daughters, Shannon, if your daughter was 19 and she brought home a 60 year old man, 56, 57 year old man, you would lose your shit. So take that and apply it to yourself. Put the mirror up like he's like my boy Darnell just chimed in, iron. Sharp is iron. And you always need people to hold you accountable. So I'll take the heat because guess what? I'm going to say shit that we need to hear. I'll let the rest of the peanut gallery bubble gum media bloggers that scared to really say the real. I'll let them handle the. He's being, he's being. He's a money grab Shannon. And, and she's only out for money. And, and this is what they do. No, how you gonna just skip over the fact that they 40 years difference and she's just a year out of high school. So I'm gonna say that I'll let the rest of everybody else, all the other, the other bloggers in YouTube, I'll let them take that angle because that's the easy angle. But that's the angle that and, and that's the reason why Shannon is right here in this position right now. Because he don't have somebody like me in his corner calling that out and saying, bruh, grow the fuck up, man. You sound like a spoiled child talking about this as a shakedown when we talking about a 19 year old on Only Fans. 19, 20 year old. You still figuring out what the hell going on? What the hell was all of us doing at 19 and 20, 19, 20, you still trying to figure out who the hell you are And I'm a man. I don't know what goes on in the 19 or 20 year old woman, but I know she ain't fully matured yet to be handling and dealing with 60 year old man. And so I just had to give some real talk to a fellow podcaster, somebody who people will hit me up all the time and be like, man, you gonna have a podcast one day, you gonna have a podcast bigger than Shannon Sharp. This is just what a lot of people would say to me. They would just put me in a Shannon Sharp podcast type of lane. I don't know why, but I've. Before I even started a podcast, when I was just doing my content, making my content and covering stories, so many people would say that. And so, you know, I wouldn't say Shannon is the reason I started a podcast, but the success that Shannon Sharp had on his podcast showed me the possibility and, and what type of success I could have with my own podcast. So this is genuine talk. This ain't no hater. This is not about hate. This ain't about tearing nobody down. This is actually about giving somebody some advice that they need to hear that nobody else is saying because everybody else have agendas. I don't have an agenda. My only thing, my only responsibility when I turn this fucking mic on is to give y'all the truth. I talk to y'all like I talk to my best friend. People left a lot of comments yesterday and said thanks for sharing the story that happened to me at 7 years old. A lot of people felt inspired by that. I told them y'all have become like my family. I ain't gonna say like my family. Y'all have become my family. So sharing every thought that's inside of my head is my pleasure. It's therapeutic for me and I will always do it. Y'all are outside of my real family, my podcast and my, and my, my Facebook insta all of my family that y'all are so supportive and y'all give me the strength and y'all give me the, the comfortability to give y'all and tell y'all honestly, honest, my honest opinion on shit. And this is my totally honest opinion on Shannon Sharp. And this whole situation, in my opinion, ain't gonna be like everybody else's opinion because they gotta take that middle road. It's hard to do what I do because then you gotta have all the little Mohawk ditties attacking you and mad because you're saying the. That people need to hear. And speaking of that, before I get to this, Aries Spears, if I cook his ass before I get out of here, you know, I got to do what we always do. And what we do here is we thank the people that make this possible, we thank the people that make this podcast what it is. And, and, and, and allow me to say it's exactly what we, what we want to talk to, talk about what we want to talk about and deal with stories that actually mean something. Because out of these stories there are lessons learned. There are, there are young ladies that can learn lessons from whatever this 20 year old woman is going through it, whether she's, whether this is real or it's not real. The text messages are real. The, the overall engaged. The fact that Shannon and her were engaged in whatever they, that's real. We just don't know how far it went. But there's lessons to be learned forever for the 19 year old girls out there. You don't have to play yourself for money. I'm telling you right now. 19 year old, you feel like you're you, you, you, you, you feel like you've, you, you're older and you, but you got a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot life left. Don't be in a rush, don't just do shit for money. Whether it's sex, whether it's, whatever it is. I'm just saying. I wish somebody would have told me at 19, bro, you got a long way to go slow, you don't have to rush and, and, and, and, and just do whatever, you know. 19, you still got plenty of time. One thing me and my best friend talk about, that we do different with our children. That was different for us, but we came up in a different time. And I'm sure all of y'all can relate to this. When we, when we grew up, when you were 18, you either take your ass to college, get a job, get your own place, your ass had to be grown immediately. Go make money, take care of yourself. This is the household we came from. Me and Darnell grew up together, best of friends from 4 years old up to high school, 12. At 12th grade, I didn't see him for another 5, 6 years because at 18, Mama said they gotta take they ass to the Navy. Him and his twin brother, we had plans of going to the same college. You know, we went to the same school, high school and elementary school, Woodbury or whatever, and we had plans of going to college together and all that. Next thing we know, they were going to the Navy. Mama said y'all gotta grow up now. This is the era we came from. But now that we are in different positions in life and we are a little more comfortable than our parents were, we take the opposite approach. Take your time with your children. Just because they turn 18, that's some legal. That's some shit they put in the laws. And when you 18, you're. You're an adult and you're this and that. Give your child time. They don't have to. Soon as they turn 18, they don't have to be turned 40. And that's what we are doing different with our. Our children than the previous generation. And like I said, I don't blame the previous generation. That was a different time and a different era, and we were just starting to make our way in this world as far as our culture and our people. And. But now I want my son to continue to work. I want him to continue to pursue his happiness as far as what he might want to be in this world. But what I'm not going to do is I'm not going to rush him. And so all the children out there, 18, 19, 20, you got a long way to go. Don't rush. Don't get frustrated. Don't look at this person or that person and feel like you should be here, you should be there. Because that is what causes us to do certain things for money that we wouldn't normally do. And like I said, I was rushing from the time I was 19 to 25, 24, I felt like I was rushing. I was trying to be everything that I wanted to be all at once. And it just. It's not a good recipe. So again, like I said, that's something me and my friend talk about. It's like we take our time. We not rushing our child when they turn 18, we gonna make sure that they're responsible. We're gonna make sure that they're working or make sure they're working towards something, but we not gonna expect you to be grown because it just puts too much pressure, especially in today's world. It just puts too much pressure on our. On our children. And I don't think it's a good thing. And it's a lesson to. And. And on Shannon's side, it's a lesson for a successful man or successful man or. Or even just man in general. You can't. You. At some point, you got to grow up, and life has structure for a reason. You, you know, we. We promote you to have a wife and get a wife and a kid and this and that, and it's. It's it's all about this. It's a reason. It adds structure to your life. And so if you're going to be 50 and 60 running around, still chasing and doing what you were doing when you were 20, you gonna find yourself in some hot water. I was telling Darnell the other day, look at Diddy. Never been married or no, no marriage we know about. Look at Shannon Sharp, successful and old and single and still running around with the. Doing what the single people do and what the young people do. They're finding themselves. You should already have found yourself by 55, 56, so you should be in a whole nother frequency. So I don't want to get too long winded, but, you know, I'm not getting out of here without cooking Aries Spears. Can I say ass without y'all getting too offended? I can't stand Aries Spears. And I never liked him, but I really didn't like him when he did that pedophile pedophile skit with Tiffany Haddish where he had a kid that didn't have their clothes on and was supposed to be a comedy skit. I don't know if maybe the kid had underwear, I don't know, but they kind of blurred it out. So I'm not sure. But he was peeking through a newspaper and they playing R. Kelly. My mind's telling me no. And he's looking at him like a creep. So I'm just giving you some context on this. Aries Spears, he's supposed to be a comedian. I put that in quotes. Comedian. He's not funny. So he goes to Cleveland. He was in Cleveland and did a show and nobody laughed. See, in Cleveland, we not just laughing. Just to laugh. You gotta be funny. But instead of him just realizing you're not funny. Aries Spears, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle looking ass, Timbaland and Magoo looking ass goes on some newspaper talking about, I don't want to. What does he say? Oh, Aries. Aries Spears says, I'm officially retiring from doing stand up in Cleveland. That city is America's toilet bowl. I hate Cleveland with the passion. They just don't seem sharp and they seem miserable. Well, Aries Spears, do I seem. Do I not seem sharp? Do I seem miserable? I'm happy as hell. You're just not funny. And Cleveland is one of the realest places you could ever go to. Laughing is involuntary, motherfucker. If we not laughing is because you ain't funny. The fuck you want us just to laugh because. Because you just forcing a laugh. I never Thought he was funny. I don't like that glued on that, that I think that New York Yankees hat is glued on too tight to his head. It don't. I don't know if it ever comes off, but I hate people who try to make it like, how you gonna be mad at us? Cause we ain't laugh at your unfunny ass. Shit. And the funny thing is, you know me, when I cook somebody, I cook them. I cook them, I twice bake them. You ever had twice baked potatoes? You cook them and then you cook them again. That's what I do. When Flo's kitchen open up, and it's open right now, I ain't gonna spend too much time. But I had to let Aries Spears know I don't play about my city. So I did a little digging. Not only did he did the PDF file and for y'all don't know, PDF file is short for PETA, you know, so we gonna say PDF file. So you do a PDF file skit with Tiffany Hadish and you want to call us a toilet bowl? Well, I looked, I did a little digging. I seen another something else he said few years back. Aries Spears says the south is, is too slow for his comedy. So he doesn't like, he doesn't want to do comedy in the south because his comic, his comedic stuff is too intellectual for the south people. So Aries, my question is, you running out of places, bro. The Midwest, Cleveland don't find you funny. You mad at us. You got some other article talking about you the down south people too slow to get your comedy and you don't like playing there. At some point. You're the common denominator, bro. You're not funny at all. You've never made me laugh. You did some strange, holly weird stuff to get your little wave for, I think, what, Saturday Night Live or something. That shit was given to him. And when that shit was over, that's why he faded into oblivion. Because he's not funny. And if I ever seen him in person, I would tell him to his face, I hope I see him. I do not like when people come from my city for no reason. If you got a reason, come for my city. If we did some talk shit I don't even. I would never be mad at somebody talking shit. But for a comedian to be in his fucking feelings because people ain't laughing at your jokes, that's weak, man. I'm gonna tell you a story before I get out of here to tell you how Cleveland get it. In and to show you the difference between comedy, because let me tell you something. David Chappelle, he, he loved Cleveland. We laugh at him. He come all, he come to Cleveland all the time. But guess what? He's funny. And I hate to break the news to you, Aries Creep, Mr. Creepy, but one of the main criteria to being a comedian is to be funny. And funny ain't forced. When we laugh, we don't plan to laugh, it just comes out. But I'm gonna tell you a story about my city, Cleveland. We the realest out there. Tommy Davidson. Back in the day, I went to a Tommy Davidson comedy show. Y'all remember Tommy Davidson from A Living Color and all those different things. Well, Tommy Davidson was giving his, was doing his thing, is opening my law, whatever. And about 10 minutes in, there was some big dude in the front row with a big. He had a big fur chinchilla on, big hat. You know, Cleveland. One thing about Cleveland, we go to a comedy show, we gonna put some on that you gonna make. It might make you sneeze so much fur and stuff coming out. We come to, we, we, we come to show stop. So anyway, about 10 minutes into. 10, 15 minutes into the, into the act, Tommy Davidson doing his thing. Doing his thing, man, that dude in the front row said, man, say some new this, that same old you say all the time, man. Man, and I'm talking about just that loud. It was like everybody got quiet, even Tommy. And he said that. I was like, damn. Tommy Davidson said, you okay? You want something new? So guess what Tommy Davidson doing? And it's a real comedian. Tommy Davidson went to the crowd, asked the dude to give him that big whatever, that big ass chinchilla fur coat he had on and the hat. And Tommy Davidson went up on stage and, and did a little skit of being some type of pimp with that stuff on, had us all rolling, gave the man his stuff back and it was a great show. That's a real comedian. Not nobody going taking a ball and going home and crying to the newspaper and dogging people for not laughing at your unfunny shit. So when I read that headline, the first part I read was, I'm officially retiring from doing stand up. And I was got happy because I saw Aries Spears picture and I saw it say, I'm officially retiring from doing stand up. But then it said, in Cleveland, I said this, oh, no, I'm. I'm funnier than you. And I ain't no comedian. I don't even try to be funny. But I'm funnier than Aries Spears, I guarantee you that. So I appreciate y'all listening to me because I had to cook. His ass don't come for my city and that go for anybody. Like I said, if you want to talk shit, you can. Like it's reasons. It's a lot of things you can say about Cleveland. You can talk about our sorry ass Browns and how they lose. You could talk about how. How nasty Lake Erie is, I mean, or whatever, but you not about to come for us because we didn't laugh at your sorry ass jokes. And I'm gonna leave it right there. Y'all appreciate y'all. Y'all my family, as always, we always have a good time. Every day at 7:30am, shout out to the Breakfast Crew and shout out to everybody on Apple and Spotify.

Podcast Summary: The Flo Show, No Filter
Episode: Shannon Sharpe's Legal Battle and Diddy's Court Victory
Release Date: April 23, 2025
In this episode of The Flo Show, No Filter, host Flo delves into the tumultuous legal battles surrounding two high-profile figures: Shannon Sharpe and Diddy (Sean Combs). With a focus on unfiltered truth and real insights, Flo navigates through the complexities of sexual assault lawsuits, media sensationalism, and the personal accountability of public personalities.
Flo opens the discussion by addressing the overwhelming number of sexual assault lawsuits in the media, expressing frustration over the confusion among audiences regarding who to believe and whom to trust.
Flo [00:03]: "These sexual assault lawsuits are getting out of control. I don't know who's to blame, but I just know I don't like it. It's just too much, too many."
She emphasizes the difficulty listeners face in discerning the truth amidst hidden agendas and conflicting narratives.
Before diving into Shannon Sharpe's case, Flo highlights a significant win for Diddy in his ongoing legal battle with Cassie Ventura.
Flo discusses a recent court ruling granting Diddy access to early drafts of Cassie's memoir, which could potentially impact his defense.
Flo [15:45]: "Diddy secures an early look at Cassie's memoir drafts in federal court battle ahead of May trial."
This access is seen as a strategic advantage, allowing Diddy's legal team to identify discrepancies that may undermine Cassie's credibility.
Flo breaks down the legal maneuvering, explaining how Diddy's attorneys aim to use the memoir to challenge Ventura's testimony by highlighting inconsistencies between her written statements and her courtroom declarations.
Flo [20:22]: "They found that discrepancies between Ventura's manuscript and statements given to her could be key to attacking her credibility."
She also touches on the potential admission of controversial video evidence, which Judge Subramanian has yet to rule on, adding another layer of complexity to Diddy's case.
Flo [22:10]: "If I punched you first and then I kicked you second but the video shows that I kicked you first and I punched you second, does that mean I'm free?"
Flo underscores the gravity of the situation, contemplating the impact of visual evidence on public perception and the trial's outcome.
The core of the episode centers on Shannon Sharpe's legal troubles, with Flo providing an in-depth analysis of the allegations and Sharpe's past behavior.
Shannon Sharpe, a former NFL player and popular ESPN analyst, is facing a $50 million lawsuit for alleged rape by a 20-year-old woman. Flo expresses disappointment, highlighting Sharpe's previous altercations with women that led to restraining orders.
Flo [10:30]: "Shannon Sharpe could have avoided this... he's had previous altercations with women that led to restraining orders and all types of stuff."
Sharpe's defense includes offering the accuser $10 million, which she declined. Flo critiques this move, suggesting it undermines his credibility regardless of his guilt or innocence.
Flo [25:50]: "He offered her $10 million and she declined it. That doesn't look good either."
Sharpe's attempts to portray the lawsuit as a "shakedown" orchestrated by his attorney Tony Busby are also scrutinized by Flo, who challenges the validity of such claims and the ethics involved.
Flo [30:15]: "Shannon, why are you bringing up Jay Z?... Handle your shit, Shannon."
Flo does not hold back in her criticism of Sharpe's actions, questioning his judgment in engaging in inappropriate communication with a significantly younger individual and highlighting the broader implications for his personal brand and professional standing.
Flo [35:18]: "You're looking at trouble regardless. You got to hang with your peers. You gotta grow up, bro."
She also discusses the potential fallout for Sharpe's career, noting that even if he is found innocent, the scandal could irreparably damage his reputation.
Flo [38:02]: "Whether he's guilty or not, this has damaged his brand and his name in a way that is forever."
Towards the latter part of the episode, Flo shifts focus to Aries Spears, a comedian whose recent performances in Cleveland have left her unimpressed. She criticizes Spears' lack of humor and professionalism, underscoring her commitment to maintaining authenticity in her own content.
Flo [33:45]: "Aries Spears, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle looking ass, Timbaland and Magoo looking ass... he's not funny."
Flo recounts a personal anecdote about a comedy show in Cleveland to illustrate her point about Spears' lackluster performance and her disdain for his comedic style.
Flo [36:30]: "If we not laughing is because you ain't funny. So if I ever seen him in person, I would tell him to his face, I hope I see him. I do not like when people come from my city for no reason."
True to The Flo Show's interactive nature, Flo dedicates time to acknowledge and appreciate her listeners. She gives shoutouts to subscribers and shoppers, fostering a sense of community and highlighting the importance of audience support.
Flo [40:00]: "Subscriber of the day is Emily... Shout out to Emily... Tina Humphrey."
Flo also discusses the importance of subscriptions for the sustainability of her podcast, humorously balancing her candid discussions with calls for support.
Flo [42:15]: "The minimum is $3. Go to Buzzsprout... thank you, Emily. Much love."
As the episode wraps up, Flo reinforces her commitment to delivering truthful, unfiltered content. She reiterates the lessons learned from the discussed legal battles, emphasizing personal responsibility and the importance of making wise decisions.
Flo [44:50]: "Don't rush your child when they turn 18... you should already have found yourself by 55, 56."
She closes with a final critique of Aries Spears and a heartfelt thank you to her listeners, ensuring that her audience feels valued and connected.
Flo [45:30]: "Flo’s kitchen is open today, but I ain't gonna spend too much time... I just had to let Aries Spears know I don't play about my city."
Flo adeptly balances critical analysis with personal insights, providing listeners with a comprehensive understanding of the legal intricacies and personal ramifications involved in the cases of Shannon Sharpe and Diddy. Her unfiltered approach encourages accountability and transparency, fostering an engaged and informed audience.
