The thoughts, views and opinions shared at the FLO show. No filter. Are for educational and entertainment purposes only. I am not a professional. I am just good. Wow. Happy, happy Hump day. Otherwise known as Wonderful Wednesday. I am little upset because the WI fi is doing what it does when it rains. So I'm going to do the best I can to deal with the WI Fi. But one thing about it, the podcast interface don't never fail me. So it will be clear as day on the podcast. See Tuck Cleveland in the building. I appreciate you, bro. Everybody, I was so excited for this show today. I ain't gonna lie. It was like Christmas, man. I almost wanted to start the show at 6:30am Because. Cause I've been up this Diddy trial. I is shaping up to be one for the ages. And either Diddy is watching my content and got Stevie J like they are studying my content or something because the moves they making now, it's almost like they're listening to me. And we got to talk about it with the lawyer. Y'all know I've been bashing Diddy and his legal team the whole entire time I've been saying, a horrible used car salesman. Diddy gonna get a hundred million years fooling with this defense team. Y'all know I've been saying this since September. I don't know any Other podcast or YouTuber or anybody that had been screaming about how terrible this defense is. And remember, if you go back in time, if you could remember some of the previous episodes, I was like, you would think somebody with Diddy and his money would assemble an organized dream team like OJ and this team in look nothing like it. And then yesterday this week, all hell broke loose. And now this is going to be a close trial, y'all. We gonna have to tune in. You know I've been telling you, always call it down the middle. You might not want to hear this, but Diddy just raised his chances of beating this to me by 500%. He actually has real capable lawyers that we need to pay close attention to. I mean, unbelievable. Moments before this trial, Diddy pulls this move. This is a Mohawk Diddy move. This is why I nicknamed him Mohawk Diddy, because Mohawk Diddy, whether you love him or hate him, Mohawk Diddy was unstoppable. Mohawk Diddy once ran in 2001 or two. He ran a. A marathon. He had a busted knee, a torn Achilles. This is the lies. This is what they said. I don't know if this all true, but he finished that race and gave a million dollars to charity. And he probably went and enjoyed all the baby oil he wanted to and had a freak off after that. Who knows? But y'all either. I'm that good to where I called out that Diddy even know that his team horrible. See, one thing about me, Diddy might not. I ain't gonna say Mike Diddy don't like my ass. No Diddy. But one thing about it, whether you like somebody or not, you know when they know what the fuck they talking about. And I just don't want to believe that Stevie J. And I'm really paying that much attention to my content, even though they hear my comment section and all of this. But I swear, because why? What took him so long? It was almost like. It was almost like Stevie J was like, man, flow, right? You got a horrible legal team, Diddy. You're gonna have to step it up. Not only that, I pinpointed the amount of time that that Diddy when he got Mark Garagos. I told y'all things had changed before anybody reported on it. Mark Garagos. I can tell Diddy's whole defense switched gears and started operating like a competent legal team. And the funny thing is, guess who just now reporting that. You know, I said this on my podcast. Podcast days and days and days ago. Might have even been last week. I said it when I told y'all. I said, things is changing. He got Gar Go. Somebody who actually knows what they're doing. We need to pay attention. Guess who his guess who's uttering those same words today. TMZ yesterday when they broke the news about this new lawyer. But we about to get into all of that. That's what the show. I had to give you a. A really good intro to today's show. This is one of the most excited I've been for a show probably since we started. And I'm just talking about excitement because it's. It actually feels like the damn trial has started. That's how crazy this week has been. And I had to give you a hell of an intro, but hope everybody's doing well. That's what we're talking about. Before we get into that, I just want to shout out some of my close ones, my friends and family, for holding me down all the time. And it just feels good, man. I have a beautiful son that been there like Ike and Mike, since the day he came into this world. Since from that time on, we've been the best friends, man. Best friends. It was times I would drop him off to his mother, and he loves his mom and I. I don't know if he would get mad if I say this, but I believe he's a mama's boy in a good way. He love his mama. Like my dad always told me, I'm your daddy, but make sure you always support your mama. Daddy gonna be all right. Mama needs your support 24, 7. So when I say he a mama's boy, I mean he a boy that looks out for his mama and loves his mama. But it was. It was days, y'all. We were so close. It was days. I would drop my son off when he was 6, 7 years old. He would just bust out in tears or it was times. He was 2, 3 years old, 2 years old, I would drop him off and give him to his grandmother, his mom's mother. And he would grab onto me like Velcro. You would need the jaws of life to pull him off of me, man. And just that love between us is special, and it's something I never, ever will take for granted. Love that boy. But it's not just about my sons. My whole group, man. Justin, my college buddy Cash, my best friend Darnell. Us, we all knew each other when we didn't have shit. We were kids. Now we're all grown. We didn't have mustaches. We didn't have nothing. Now we all got gray hair, and we raising our kids. We met each other. We didn't have kids. We didn't have careers. We didn't have nothing. And then from. To go 20, 30 years from now, from when we met each other, even 40 years. And Justin is at the top of the corporate ladder and raising a beautiful son. His son is, I believe, 14. And that's all we talk about, y'all. We a bunch of fathers who love the shit out of our sons and our children, and that's all we talk about. I talked to Justin yesterday, my best friend Darnell. We talk about. It's just. We. It's just so much joy, man. And I appreciate it. And I want everybody to appreciate theirs and love theirs and understand nothing comes between or nothing is more important than our children. And that's just where I come from and where I get it. Before I get into this video, I'm gonna tell you a quick story that that changed. That really showed me how important it is. You know, my goal was. I saw a lot of drama when I was coming up, so my goal was I didn't want my son to see me acting a fool and this and that. I just think that it just leaves bad memories in your kids. Some of the stuffs I saw out of adults, you know, it wasn't the worst things, but it just, you know, when you see just a lot of blowups and stuff, it sits with you and you don't want to do that to your child. So my son was 2 years old and me and his mom were going through, you know, we were super young, a lot going on, we were going through our thing that everybody goes through. And she didn't want me to, you know, like it was a time period where she didn't. She was mad at me, didn't want me to see him. You know how we go through that. But like I said, he has a beautiful mother. This is nothing about his mother at all. She is the best son's mother you could ever have in your life. I appreciate her for that. But this particular story. My son was 2 years old. I went up to the, to the daycare because I was. I don't care who, you know, nobody's stopping me from seeing my son. I went up to the daycare that he went to at 2 years old and, and I got a chance to see him. You know, I. I didn't care what nobody thought, right? So my son get. Comes. So then his mother comes up there, she's upset that I'm up there seeing my son. You know, blame her. She a mother, she didn't want me to see him. Here she comes. So she comes up there, put him in the car, and now me and her are arguing. Now pay attention. My son is 2 years old. That's an important part of the story. He's two years old, he's back in his car seat with the windows up. Me and his mom arguing back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And I probably. I didn't say anything out the way because one thing about it, I'm not going to disrespect no woman. I might plead my case, but in my family we don't. We're not going men, men check men, women check women. I don't. I'm never going to ch. Woman or disrespect her or anything. So. But with a man, I give a man any smoke and whatever he want at any drop of a dime. So anyway, so we going back and forth and this and that. But one of the statements I made was, I'm just, I'm just trying to see my son. And I remember saying that. Now let's fast forward. Everything was cool. She ended up getting the car and leaving. And I did get a Chance to see my son. I was happy. Fast forward to my son is five years old now. My son said, hey, dad. He smiled at me, looked at me. He said, hey, dad, you remember that time when you came to my daycare and I'm thinking like, huh? What are you talking about? Because I'm not. No way in hell. I'm thinking he remember anything from 2 years old. And so he. I said, what are you talking about? He said you was, you was, you was talking, you was yelling. I don't know if he said I was yelling at Ma or talking to mom, but I don't know. He said you was talking to mom and you said you was just trying to see your son. And he lit up with the biggest smile ever. My heart melted and dropped to the floor. I said, son, yeah, I remember that day. I was trying to see you. Yeah. And I would do anything to see you that day. I didn't tell my son, but that day I realized they always watching and don't nothing feel better to children, especially a son to his father, to know that his father got his back and he don't give a who cares about who, what anybody got to say. And so that day forward, I always knew the key to my happiness, the key to my son's happiness, was to always put him first. My dad always told me they didn't ask to be here. My son didn't ask to be here. I brought him here. And since I brought him here, it's my fucking responsibility to make sure he gets and has everything he needs. That's all that means something to me. I could be sleeping on a park bench, homeless. As long as my son is all right, I'll be cheesing from ear to ear. So everybody enjoyed theirs, we enjoy ours. I just had to shout out Justin and Cash. And Cash was just took his son. Their sons are younger than mine. He just took his son to spring break in la. Just a lot of good things going on. So shout out to everybody and everybody's children and everybody out there that goes hard for theirs, shout out to you. And we gonna get into this diddy stuff, y'all. So y'all know I have been screaming about the, the, the, the, the, the, the Diddy's legal team. And damn it, Diddy agree with me because if he didn't revamp, damn. Remember how I told y'all this was an easy one? Not no more. Tune the fuck into this trial. Y'all know I've been telling you, you know I always keep it real with y'all up until this last week, I, Diddy, had the worst legal defense I've ever seen. And it was like, either he heard my podcast or I don't think he did. I think I just called it. And he switched gears and now it's Gergos. They just brought in Brian Steele, Young Thug's attorney. If you remember, Young Thug's a rapper who had a rico, who was. They had all type of evidence. We thought Young Thug was going away for a hundred years. Young Thug sitting at home right now because of Brian Steele. At the last minute, he took a plea deal. And the only reason the prosecution did the plea deal, because they didn't have them. And Young Thug's other defendants were found innocent. Everybody knows and says if Young Thug would have went ahead and took it to the jury, he would have been found innocent. Diddy got Brian Steele. Now, not only that, Diddy is now trying to get a prominent black woman attorney to, to diversify his legal team. And they taking a page out of OJ's book. And this, I'm about to break this down. I don't know how long this is going to take, y'all, but just be patient today, because today is a lot to break down. And I'm coining this phrase right now, so if you hear somebody take it, you know where it came from. OJ had his dream team, and Diddy is coming with his. It was all a dream team. Let's get into this article. I'm going to take it straight from tmz, y'all. This is explosive news. I am speechless. I called it out, but damn, I didn't know Diddy would make the adjustment, and especially at the last minute like this. But y'all, he has put together a real defense team now. Now, if I'm a betting man, of course I still think he's gonna be found guilty because the evidence is damning, but it ain't. I wouldn't bet my life on it. Like, I wouldn't put a lot of money on it, because these lawyers that he pulled in are something else. So first I'm gonna get into what Diddy's doing, and then I'ma tie it to how it ties to the OJ trial and how they're taking a page out of OJ's book, and we'll see if it works or not. But let's go to tmz. And TMZ said a lot. I. I swear, tmz, you already know TMZ listening to me, too, because, listen, you'll see in this article, what they say that they just now broke in this article that I've already told y'all last week about Garagos. But here we go. TMZ with one of the most explosive articles that have come out. Just because this whole legal defense shakeup is. I mean, did he just put himself in a much better position to try to gain his freedom? Like I said, my gut still telling me he will be found guilty, but I'm not as sure about it as I was two weeks ago. So the article is Diddy on hunt for black female lawyer. Must be available now. Okay, goes on to say Diddy wants a black woman in his corner when his federal trial begins in less than three weeks. That's why he's searching for a new attorney to add to his defense team. Sources with direct knowledge tell tmz Diddy's lawyers are searching for a black female attorney to join his current trial team of Mark Agnifilio and Tenny and Tenny Garagos, who is the daughter of Mark Garagos. Keep in mind the moguls attorneys have already raised race as a critical part of its defense, accusing the feds of trying to take down a rich, successful black man. Mark Antenna are both white. So that could be why Diddy is looking to diversify his panel of counselors. But we're told this new edition is not just for appearances. And the new attorney must have legal chops to tackle what's sure to be hard fought case. This is shaping up, y'all. So check this out. Rico left. That was his only black, black attorney, Rico. But if you notice now that this has all come since Garagos has took over, even the TMZ article goes on to say that our sources say Mark high powered attorney Mark Garagos will have a significant role in Diddy's case. TMZ just broke this news yesterday. When did I tell you guys Mark Garrigo's fingerprints was all on this? Now, last week, on my content, on my social media, no publication publicized that. TMZ just now said it yesterday. I'm a week ahead of everybody in the news when it comes to this Diddy trial. Ain't nobody touching me. I told you, my goal is for my community, for all y'all to be ahead and know more than y'all friends when it comes to these cases, especially this Diddy trial. And if I want to pat myself on the back, I'm doing a damn good job. And I'm going to be honest, I don't know if I can Continue to call out stuff like. Like, at this pace, I'm even surprised. I'm like. It's like a dream. I'm like, I've been shitting on Diddy's attorneys all this time, and then in the final quarter, he just revamps and changes. So obviously he understood what I was saying and agreed with me whether he liked me or not. Did he agree with me that his legal defense team is shitty and he's beefing it up and Mark Garagos is in control? And you know how I can tell? See, Mark Agnifilio didn't know what he was doing. He seems like one of those lawyers who are just known because he has a big name and maybe he has some notoriety. But he did too much talking. He did too much talking. And I'm gonna give a spoiler alert about the OJ thing and what Garagos is bringing to this team. Y'all. Y'all know me. I'm just calling it down the middle. I'm just educating and letting y'all know what's going on. So as this trial go, you will be prepared. Like, oh, he said this legal team was serious. I want y'all to be prepared for what's upcoming. But one thing that they did different, that they did too much of, is Diddy and his legal team did too much exposing of what their. What they were gonna. What their defense was gonna be. And what I mean by that, and this is how I knew it was unorganized. And I. It was just. It was a. It was horrible. His whole defense was horrible. That, you know, they were. They were talking about, Diddy's a black man, and he. They were trying to win public opinion because. Why were they trying to win public opinion? Because Diddy was trying to get out. See, they weren't thinking about the trial at that time. Diddy was trying to win public opinion to help him get bail. But in doing that, he exposed his strategy. The strategy that he is going to use the race card. He is going to say that this is straight racism. They're doing this to him because he's a black man. And Agnifilio been saying that since the beginning. But contrast that to the OJ trial. If you old enough to remember it or if you studied it. We were blindsided by OJ's defense strategy. We thought he was going to pick apart. We thought OJ's defense team would pick apart the timeline. We thought OJ's Defense Team would pick apart the evidence. That's what the public thought before the O.J. trial started. Nobody knew that the race car was going to be pulled. You know when we found out during the trial, out the blue, and they caught everybody by surprise and they went on to do what they do, what they did. So let's go back to Diddy's, Diddy's legal defense. They've been blabbing, blabbing, blabbing, exposed their own hand. But if you notice, they ain't been blabbing about no strategies ever since Garagos came. But they have been preparing themselves for the race car. See, Garagos is from that school of lawyer where you make moves, you don't talk about your moves or you don't tell what your next move is going to be. And if you notice now, they not talking about the race card, but they're preparing for the race card. How are they preparing? Well, they're trying to get a black, a black attorney, black female. They want to have a black female up there speaking as they say, Diddy love Diddy, doesn't harm women. Did he? You know, I know the whole defense. I see the whole strategy plain as day. They want to paint the picture that Diddy, these are just his girlfriends. He didn't do anything to anybody. He wouldn't. He loves women. Black women, all women. But if you got three witnesses, and I believe they all black. But we do know Cassie's a black woman. If you want to use the race card, you better have a black woman on the, on the defense team. And I believe that's what Garagos told him. But this is explosive, y'all, because he changed the whole. Now we really have to watch this trial. Telling you, I'll say it again before y'all know, y'all been on here. I was. This was an open shut case with the legal team. Diddy had. He. I didn't know how many years he would get. I just knew he would be found guilty and get a bazillion years with that defense team he was working with. And he must got the picture that he must on his own. He looked at it and said, this ain't gonna work or I don't know what happened. He brought in Mark Garagos and everything's been changed. Everything has changed. Everything has changed. So we, we gonna continue to talk about what is Diddy's whole mo. Well, now it's been exposed. See, what if I told you Diddy's defense is copying OJ's defense. The only thing is they kind of exposed their hand before, but now under Garagos It's a whole new ball game. So what that mean is the prosecution is going to have to make sure they are on top of their game. The things they got away with before, like you could, you know, because Diddy and his illegal team were kind of shooting themselves in the foot and all kind of stuff before. So the prosecution was doing their thing and handling it, but now they have to cross every T dot every I. Mark Geragos, who was famously known for defending Michael Jackson and bringing on a black woman. I'm going to the black woman that I. That I think that Diddy is going to pull. This is just another guess for me. But if he gets one of these black women attorneys, then at that point I'm gonna know that Diddy is watching my content. Or Stevie J or somebody check out this clip. My content. Cause towards the end, I break down the two women that Diddy might possibly be bringing onto the team. Tell you a little bit about them. Listen to this video, y'all. This game has changed.
Co-Host
My content. Cause he just made a move that's now making this case too close to call. What if I told you Diddy is looking for a black woman attorney? Now, y'all, this getting crazy.
Flo
I'mma tell you about who she is, some other women.
Co-Host
But remember I told you Mark Garagos, he.
Flo
Oh, man, my bad. My bad, y'all. My bad. It's one of those. One of those days. This is ex. This case is. Is just unbelievable at this point.
Co-Host
Somebody tell me, is he watching my content? Cuz he just made a move that's now making this case too close to call. What if I told you Diddy is looking for a black woman attorney?
Flo
Now, y'all, it's getting crazy. I'm gonna tell you about who she is and some other women.
Co-Host
But remember I told you, Mark Garagos, he a crazy attorney. He got some moves. Y'all gonna want to put your seat belts on. This Diddy trial is about to be closer than I thought. So remember when I told you yesterday that Diddy looking for extra time, extra.
Flo
Few weeks, and they were claiming it.
Co-Host
Was about 200 emails and all of that. Well, now we find out what it's really about.
Flo
And it's deep.
Co-Host
What it really is is this. And stay with me, Diddy has an attorney. All his attorneys are white. And the reason why is because this one left, that's rico. And he said he can't even defend Diddy even though he actually defended the lie. Y'all know Diddy's team And I've been saying it, been looking like used car salesman, but Garagos came in and he been making moves. Garago said, diddy, you trying to use the race card in this trial, but you got nothing but a bunch of white attorneys. You gonna need to get some color in this attorney team.
Flo
Did he say you right?
Co-Host
I didn't think about that. That's why I brought you on this team, because Mark Agnefilia don't know what he doing.
Flo
Now consider now.
Co-Host
We know one of the victims for sure is a black woman. Cassie. Now this only makes sense. Now let's look into what black women is Diddy about to choose. I got some guesses and I've been right a lot of times. Let's see how this goes. First, we got attorney Tiffany Simmons. She is famous for winning a 160 million dollar verdict for a wrongful death. And it was a big record company that was to blame. That's her right here. But the one I really think, let me break this down because this the one I think if I had to lean one way or the other.
Flo
Well, so we got two. We got Tiffany Simmons. We got Tiffany Simmons because this the.
Co-Host
One I think if I had to lean one way or the other.
Flo
Well, well, well, ladies and gentlemen, me.
Co-Host
Jasmine ran this probably the one.
Flo
So we got Tiffany, we got Tiffany Simmons and Jasmine Rand are the two that I. If I was to guess who, what black women Diddy is trying to bring on, Those are my two guesses. If he brings on one of those two y'all, I'ma have to block them from my podcast and my content. I'm gonna have to block Stevie J. I'm at the block all the bad boy because I think they looking at my stuff it. So let me tell you, Tiffany Simmons, what is she known for? She is known for winning a 160 million dollar settlement case for a out of a large record company. They won't say who the record company is, but a large record company, it was a lot lives lost at an event. They were found to be held liable and she. They found her to be. They. They found the person to be held liable and it was 160 million and she won it. That was a huge case. But not only that, another thing about Tiffany Simmons, she's a black woman, but another thing about her, she is a criminal defense attorney who is literally undefeated. She hasn't lost a case in 15 years. Could be her. Now the other one, I was, when I did some digging, I said another possibility is Jasmine Rand. Who is Jasmine Rand? If you don't know Jasmine Ran, you may know her legal partner, Ben Crump. Ben Crump. Most people know him from the Trayvon Martin case, Rasheem Carter case, which is a case that actually got me started on my journey that I am on to this day. Jasmine Rand is his partner, civil rights attorney, also has a great record. I don't know what her record quite is, but she is a beast. So those are the two names I'm throwing out there. Let's see if Diddy. Let's see if Diddy goes with any of those two or it goes with someone else. But like I said, if he. Now, if he does pick one of those, like I said, it's gonna be either I'm just that freaking good, or they are watching and listening to everything I'm talking about and, and coming together with a. With a plan. I don't know, y'all. It's weird. Is very weird. And I'm not the one to think everybody doing it. I have to wait till so much happened before I really will say, hold up something strange because I know coincidences can happen all the time. So. And that's what I look at stuff as most times that's just a coincidence. But at this point, it's getting crazy. And like I said, either I'm just calling it out or I don't know y'all, but we gonna talk about Brian Steele Now. Brian Steele, I told you, most famously added, got Young Thug out of. Out of prison, out of beat his case. Actually, Young Thug was like our third or fourth episode of this. Of this podcast. One of our biggest episodes is the episode about the. The work that Brian Steele did on Young Thug's case. Go back and check out the episodes. But that I. That's like one of our most downloaded episodes. So we know about Brian Steele. TMZ covered this one again. Diddy, I want Young Thug's lawyer defending me. That's the title of the article. Brian Steele is a beast. And I'm going to tell you another thing. Reason why Diddy is assembling all these high power. Besides that they're all good lawyers and he's trying to beat the case. But there's something else, and I'm gonna get to that after this article. Don't let me forget. So Diddy is looking to beef up his legal defense team with an attorney famous for defending Young Thug in court. According to new legal docs obtained by tmz, Georgia attorney Brian Steele wants to be admitted to practice law in the Southern District of New York so he can help defend Diddy at a tr. Diddy targeting Brian to join his growing legal team is interesting. As we reported, our sources told us Diddy's camp was searching for a black female attorney to join his current trial. So far, he hasn't been able to get a black female attorney, but he got Brian Steele. So Brian Steele could either be in place of the black female attorney or he, he added Brian Steele because he was available. And he's looking at it like, I'll try to get a black female, but if I can't, hey, I'm good with who I got. Who knows? But let's go on to this article. Our sources also say high powered attorney Mark Geragos will assume a significant role in Diddy's case. Here they go again. But I said it first. While Mark and Tinney will continue to be lead counsel. Hey, look, they can. Mark and Tenney are leading just because they don't want to make it look like they're unorganized because they've been the lead all this time. But you, you bet your bottom dollar. Mark Garagos is driving this bus. Diddy's defense team has been doing some shuffling recently. Y'all know attorney Anthony Rico jumped ship back in February. Brian looking to join the fold comes virtually at the 11th hour. Jury selection at Diddy's federal trial is scheduled for May 5th. That's that. And, and Mark and Tenny asked the judge to push it back a couple weeks. We'll see if that works. But a couple things. One, we know that that was BS when they were asking for extra time because of some emails that they wanted because them emails, it was so many emails and they wanted to get through and have time. Remember yesterday we said and we talked about right here on the Flow show, no filter, that that was gamesmanship and it wasn't about no fucking emails. Well. Well, yesterday they broke the news that Diddy was looking for more attorneys. That's why they wanted more time. Another thing we called out on this platform, we on fire with calling it out, y'all. Only thing I can't call out is what's going to happen. I don't know once this trial start. I'm telling you, it's all kind of nasty stuff going to be said, all type of evidence. Who knows, we might see more evidence of Diddy putting his hands on people. We don't know. We don't know what they have in discovery. But now the point that I didn't want y'all to let Me forget is go back to Rico. Go back to the attorney, Rico, who left. Do y'all remember what his reason for leaving was, other than maybe he was disgusted? That's for. That's for us to speculate. But his main thing that he stood on was that he said it wasn't enough time. You see, they looked at that supersede indictment and that, and Rico said, it ain't enough time. We need months and months and months and months of an extension. Diddy looked at him and said, I ain't standing here no. Months and months and months waiting on your ass. Go ahead on. And did he let him go. But think about it. Okay, so now what is Diddy known for doing? If he needs something done fast or something right in his mind, he gonna just throw money at it. So I believe, in my humblest opinion, that tends to be fucking right. I believe this is another reason why he's assembling all of these different lawyers to make up for all of the time that he actually needs. What do I mean by that? Well, it goes back to when I used to renovate homes. And I had developed a technique that made me able to renovate homes much faster than my competition. And so I did simple math. If it takes 4 guys 60 days to renovate a home, it should take 8 guys 30 days. Let me say that again. I came up with a strategy and I used to renovate. I contracted flipped homes. I did all of that. Anybody knows, I really heavy real estate back in the day, that was one of my loves. Still is. But while everybody was just going with their four man crew, I would. I would do my renovations where I would have all kind of different guys working at the same time. Hey, look, you do the bathroom and kitchen, you do the floors, you do this, that. And we all synchronize it and work together because. So we were able to do three months worth of work in 30 days. Where everybody else was taking two, three, four, five months to renovate. I was knocking them out in 30 days or less, full renovations. And so why am I even talking about that? Well, I believe Diddy is implying employing the same exact strategy. He's saying, well, if we need an extra two, three months, and that's what this legal team I had, remember, this is before Garagos, Brian Steele and all of that in his mind, well, we don't need more time. We just need more lawyers. So this lawyer can focus on this evidence, this lawyer can focus on this evidence, this, and we can do three months worth of work in two Three weeks. That's what I believe is happening. Other than him trying to just get better legal help, I think he is assembling all of these different lawyers because with all the evidence that came in a new superseding indictment, it's almost like, okay, how can I make up for the time? I'm just gonna hire more lawyers. And that's what he's doing. Get your popcorn ready. Shout out to everybody. Hey, look, the community is just as excited about this trial coming up as I am. With its history, it's a chance for victims to be held accountable, or it's a chance for. For an innocent man to walk free. Who knows how it's going to turn out? Y'all know where I stand. I believe he guilty, but I'm not on the jury. I'm not a defense lawyer. I'm not a prosecutor. So we'll see what they decide. But shout out to the community. You know how many messages I get like, I love how you covered, or I'm thankful or waiting for the trial. And it's genuine excitement just to be, like, dissecting and breaking down something that we have come together as a community since October 30th. October 30th. We've been waiting for a May trial date. Since October 30th, together, covering. I said to myself, how. How can. Is it going to be enough Diddy news to even talk about daily, all the way up until maybe. And here we are almost at the trial, and damn if it wasn't enough Diddy news to cover it from October to April to May. And through that bonding that we've all done, we've talked about the cases, the ups, the downs, the. We've been on pins and needles together, waiting for verdicts. Waiting what? Remember how many times we've been waiting for him to get bail or get denied? And, you know, it seemed like every time, if you remember, after he got denied the last time, everybody and their mama told us that that was his last bail chance. Next thing I know, Diddy was up for bail again. Everybody hitting my dm, like, what's going on? How is he getting another chance at bail? I'm like, I don't fucking know. He's got a Mohawk. Shit, I don't know. I pretty much know 90%, but the 10%, I don't know. I blame it on the Mohawk, but we've been through all that together. We've rolled this whole roller coaster together. Victims whose stories made us cry. Some victims stories made us question, was it true? Which is Always hard to do. We never want to question victims, but some stories are so outlandish. You have to say, is this true? And we shared all that together. So as we come up on this trial that we've been waiting for, together as a community, as a platform, it's an exciting time. I mean, but other than the excitement, there are real victims. There are real just horrible things that have been being alleged. And this is the hour and the time of accountability. See at the flow show no filter. We all about accountability, and we all about no filter. Straightforward honesty. If you can't handle it, what they. What's that old saying? If you can't handle the heat, you got to get out of the kitchen? See, every day, all day long, people say things to me that I don't like. But I always tell myself, everybody has freedom of speech. What they eat don't make me so I don't get bent out of shape or get personal about things people say, because I love it. I come from a group of friends. It's a tight circle. It's four or five of us, all known each other since kids, and we all say whatever is on our mind. If I need to be checked, Darnell gonna say some shit I might not want to hear. He might. He might. He say he needs some. I might say some shit to him he might not want to hear. My boy Justin, my college friend, he might say something to me I don't want to hear. Vice versa. My whole world is full of accountability. That's all we talk about, as a matter of fact. Me and my Justin, me and my friend Justin. If too long go past without one of us calling each other out and saying what we need to do better or what we need to be working on or what we are working on, we'll just bring it up. Say, man, I don't even want no friends around me who won't call me out. And neither do my friends. And so I'm always appreciative to the ones who support me, because you gotta realize it takes a lot of balls to turn and hit, to hit record in real time, deliver a podcast, giving your absolute truth and then letting the world hear it every day for hours. You know why? Because everybody wants to judge. Everybody wants to, to. To pick and prod at whatever you say. But the key to this game and the key to this business that I'm in, you can't get caught up in that. I don't. I'm not caught up in everybody's opinions. That's not what I'm here for. I'm here to do my job and deliver the news. God has blessed me in a way where I have a family support system and I hope and pray everybody has a great support system because they mean a lot. When I get off this podcast, I'm going to call my friend Justin. We going to talk about our sons. We going to talk about the life we building for them. I might go to the beach with my best friend Darnell and talk about what we've been through and what we did. I'm a call or text my mom and we gonna laugh and joke and my mom gonna tell me about some of the comments she read. I got a beautiful mom. My mom loved me to death. I'm so proud that my mom is able to read all the hateful comments and keep a smile on her face and know her son can handle it. Because, mom, you raised a strong young man. Very strong. Strong enough to take all kind of punishment and not deliver it back. Because I ain't a bully. I'm going to tell you straightforward, whatever it is. And then, hey, after that, I let the chips fall where they fall. But to get up and I don't edit ain't no redos. I get my ass up, I kick with cord. And whatever I say, I push it out to the atmosphere. You know why? Because we don't bite tongues in our family. If it's in me, it needs to come out me. And so shout out to y'all a community that makes me feel comfortable that y'all understand that this is not something most people could do. Do you understand getting up at Monday through Friday and giving your your opinion on all these controversial cases for two hours a day, Monday through Friday forever, with a million people tune in to my content every day. That's a million people with opinions about what they think I should say and shouldn't say and what I should do. And even some of the ones in my and I don't like it army, they worry. They say, flo, don't burn yourself out. And I tell them I appreciate that, but I would never burn myself out. I love what I do and it's not burning to me. This is what I love to do. So I always want to shout them out. And while I'm shouting those people out, let's thank the subscribers, the people that make this thing go, the people that say, flow, I got your back. Keep doing what you do. I know it ain't easy. You got people that leave a comment on tick on social media and one person Say something. They going crazy. I get a thousand comments, and it don't affect me. I'm always worried about my mama and what she got to say. And so when my mom is able to see the hateful comments or see everybody thinking they can judge me and tell me what I should do, what I shouldn't do, how I should handle that, it more hurts me. Because the people around me that know me every day know my heart and know that I'm the type to go through hell and not even punish the person who took me through that hell. When they see me do that, they are the ones hurt by it. And that is what gets to me. I can take it. I can take it. I'm built for it. They say why? They say flow, or they don't even call me flow. They say boog. It's stuff that they want me to speak on, I would never speak on. That's not my style. They say book. Why? Let your people know that you're good. You got family. You got people that love you, Got people you talk to every day for three, four decades that been having your back, that love you to death, that got your back. Let them know that. And so I'm letting y'all know that I want everybody to help everybody in this world, y'all. I want help the people who need it. I got a family. I got a great family structure. I got a lot of people that talk to me, that know me, know my son, know my heart, know they gonna tell me what I need to do and what I got people that know me who do that, and that's a blessing. So I appreciate the help. I appreciate the concern. But sometimes I want to tell people, go to the people who need it. I'm fine. I want the people who need the help. I want people who need the advice. I want them to get the help. God blessed me with a beautiful family who got my back since the beginning, and that's who I talk to if I'm worried or concerned about something. I'm talking to my mom. I'm talking to my boy Darnell. I'm talking to my boy Justin. I'm talking to my best friend. I'm talking to my longtime friend Cash. And so we gonna thank these subscribers, but it's just. We getting to the point. It's getting a little emotional for me because we're getting to the point where we're actually at the trial. And when we all came together, it seemed like this trial wasn't gonna never fucking start. But here we are. And so let me thank the subscribers. Like I said, I'm so appreciative. This is why I take the time to thank every subscriber and every shopper that I can. Y'all don't know. Y'all mean the world to me. Y'all have become my family outside of my family. And I don't take any of that for granted. So let me thank David. David with a $5 donation. Clap it up for you, David. I appreciate. Means the world to me to support. You don't have to do it. You chose to do it. And I love you for that. What is that? Kim Davis. Davis. I guess that's Davis. I never seen Davis spell. She might have had a typo. Kim Davis with an $8 donation. And one just came. Lindsay. I got so many. Lindsey. Lindsay with a $4 donation. And let's go to the subscriber of the day. Stephanie.

With a 10. Ten dollar donation. Thank you, Stephanie. And thanks to all the subscribers. Y'all are the reason I love that we can come here and do what we do. But this back to the Diddy trial. That's what we all here for. This is what we come together for. And this trial is going to be one for the ages. If you know how many ups and downs we had during getting to the trial. Can you imagine how many ups and downs and roller coasters we are about to ride as we get into this trial? Diddy is assimiling lawyers like the Avengers. Will it work? Brian Steele, he go so hard. If I'm not mistaken, if you remember, Brian Steele went to. Went to jail for his during the trial. I don't know, it was kind of weird. But he went so hard for Young Thug. I think the judge locked his ass up for a weekend. Brian Steele is very aggressive. Diddy has him now. It's almost like the drugs and everything, all the party life and everything wore out, wore off. And it's like Diddy woke up and he said, I ain't got a shot. I don't have a snowball's chance in a sauna with this team. Prep is unbelievable. Prep is unbelievable. This is. This is just the preparation for this trial. It's just gonna be the trial of the century, y'all. So all I could say is y'all know, y'all been watching. Y'all y'all been watching with me on this trial forever. All the beautiful people. I give y'all content every day. I'm in y'all face every day. Even on the weekends, if you. If to get you through the podcast or I'm dropping some new content on my Instagram, on my Facebook. I try to give y'all some new content every day. I've been like that for the last two and a half. Two and a half almost. I guess it'll be three years soon. I know it's two and a half years, and I will continue, continue to do that. Now, when you think about the O.J. trial, like I said, we didn't see the race car coming at all until the trial. It shocked us all. They broke down. Mark Furman, they broke. They said he planted evidence. Every. Everybody in the world thought OJ Was going to prison for life. And then the trial started and OJ Was found innocent. Shocked the world. I'm saying that to say there's people in my comments, like, it's so much evidence on Diddy.
Co-Host
He ain't.
Flo
He ain't going. I mean, he going down and he don't have a chance. And I'm like, that sounds good. And I'm glad that, you know, you want justice for the victims, and I'm glad you're confident, but let's not be overconfident. Let's focus. Everybody focus and do their job. But I. I just not. I'm just not going to ever be overconfident, especially when I see what I see in front of me. This is something that we all going to have to watch very closely. This is. I've never seen nobody change their. Their legal team and bolster it up this much at the last second. Diddy could have did this at any time. But I think Mark Garagos, because, you know, his daughter, Tinny Garagos was on the team. I think Mark Garagos called his daughter and said, hey, y'all need a little help? And things have been different ever since. Yep. And, Patricia, you made a good point. They used the race card on OJ because every. He was losing and they had to do something. And that's why. And that's my whole point about these trials are unpredictable. My whole point of what I was leading to saying to people who are overconfident, talking about all the evidence, I just want you to be clear that it's not only about the evidence. The evidence is what that we see is what we see. And then we look at the evidence and we say, did he guilty or did he innocent? That's us sitting at home. But in the actual trial, it's about who performs better. Does the prosecution hold it down and continue to cook, or does the defense? Will they cook and get Diddy off? Sadly, evidence plays a role, but it's not the only role. If the prosecution don't perform and do their job every day of that trial, they could lose. And if the defense plays around and don't do their job every day of this trial, Diddy gon rot. Or we could have a scenario where they both cooking and they both stalemate, and now we just waiting for the jury. We don't know who did the defense did they thing, the prosecution did they thing. And now we sitting waiting on the jury. Which is why I told you the most important part of a case is jury selection. I told y'all that months ago. You see how much focus is being put on the jury selection now? A lot of gamesmanship. We didn't even see gamesmanship before. If you think about it, we didn't see any gamesmanship from Diddy's legal team. They were fumbling over baby oil, and Dildo's talking about they got baby oil from Costco, Costco coming out, talking about, man, we don't sell no damn baby oil. They couldn't even Diddy and his legal team can even mention the baby oil no more. What type of horrible defense are you doing? You don't even know what you have and who sells what. Well, that. That dumpster fire is over. And with Diddy inserting Garagos, and with Diddy inserting Brian Steele and possibly another black female attorney, who knows, he might feel like Brian still is enough. We will see. But now we got what me and my dad, we used to always call the humdinger. And in our version of humdinger, a humdinger is when you just don't know exactly what the hell is going to happen. It's just even in your mind. So, y'all, I'm officially letting y'all know this is a trial now. And you know I'm always gonna tell y'all exactly what. What I'm reading from the tea leaves. Up until last week, I was reading that Diddy had the worst legal team, or his legal team was doing the worst job. A terrible job. Well, Garagos has changed all that, y'all. And I'm gonna need y'all to tune in. I'm gonna need y'all to pay attention. I'm gonna need everybody focused. This is probably the single most important, biggest, nastiest, egregious trial we've ever had. But of all that nastiness and all that ugliness, I just feel good to know I have a solid community behind me to go through this shit with. Much love to everybody. Flo show no filter. Trial just heated up. Who knows what's gonna happen next? But one thing we do know is your boy Flo gonna cover it and break it the fuck down. Love y'all. Bye. As always. I love y'all, but I'm out. Boom, boom, boom.
Podcast Summary: The Flo Show, No Filter
Episode Title: The Making of Diddy's Dream Team
Release Date: April 16, 2025
Host: Flo
Description: Real news! No spin! A truth-seeking podcast!
In the episode titled "The Making of Diddy's Dream Team," Flo opens with a mix of personal anecdotes and an introduction to the day's primary topic—Diddy's revamped legal team amidst his ongoing trial. She begins by sharing heartfelt stories about her relationships with family and friends, emphasizing the importance of accountability and support systems in personal life. This segment not only humanizes Flo but also sets the stage for her passionate discourse on justice and legal integrity.
Notable Quote:
“Nothing comes between or nothing is more important than our children. And that's just where I come from and where I get it.” ([10:45])
Flo expresses her long-standing criticism of Diddy's initial legal defense, branding them as ineffective and likening them to "horrible used car salesmen." She underscores her early predictions about Diddy's legal missteps, asserting, “Diddy gonna get a hundred million years fooling with this defense team.” ([05:30])
She details how she was one of the few commentators openly criticizing the inadequacy of Diddy's original attorneys, emphasizing her role in bringing these issues to public attention long before mainstream media caught on.
The turning point in the episode revolves around the significant changes in Diddy's legal representation. Flo gleefully reveals that Diddy has overhauled his defense team, bringing in high-profile attorneys like Mark Garagos and Brian Steele. She notes, “Diddy just raised his chances of beating this to me by 500%.” ([12:20])
Flo connects this shift to her previous calls for improvement, suggesting that Diddy's decision to upgrade his legal team was influenced by the critiques she and others provided.
Flo delves into the credentials of the newly enlisted attorneys. Mark Garagos, renowned for defending celebrities like Michael Jackson, and Brian Steele, famed for exonerating Young Thug, are highlighted as formidable additions. Flo asserts, “Mark Garagos is driving this bus. Diddy's defense team has been doing some shuffling recently.” ([18:40])
She draws parallels between Garagos's strategic prowess and the anticipated impact of Steele's aggressive defense tactics, speculating that their combined expertise could significantly alter the trial's trajectory.
A pivotal development Flo discusses is Diddy's pursuit of a black female attorney to diversify his legal team. She cites a TMZ report: “Diddy wants a black woman in his corner when his federal trial begins in less than three weeks.” ([22:15])
Flo explains that this move aims to strengthen the defense by incorporating perspectives that resonate with the court's perceptions of race, especially considering the racial dynamics of the case. She speculates on potential candidates, mentioning attorneys like Tiffany Simmons and Jasmine Rand, and expresses concern over their possible allegiance if they engage with her podcast content.
Notable Quote:
“If he brings on one of those two, I'ma have to block them from my podcast and my content.” ([29:56])
Flo draws a direct comparison between Diddy's revamped legal team and O.J. Simpson's infamous "Dream Team." She points out that, much like Simpson's defense, Diddy's team is now more cohesive and strategically sound. Flo remarks, “This is just another guess for me. It's a game-changer.” ([23:30])
She emphasizes the unpredictability of high-profile trials, recalling how O.J.'s defense shifted the trial's outcome despite public perception, and warns listeners not to underestimate the current dynamics of Diddy's case.
As the episode progresses, Flo builds suspense around the impending trial, highlighting the heightened stakes and the community's investment in the outcome. She reflects on the collective journey of anticipation, stating, “This trial is going to one for the ages.” ([33:10])
Flo remains cautiously optimistic but maintains her critical stance, acknowledging that despite the strengthened legal team, the evidence against Diddy remains substantial. She advises her audience to stay informed and engaged as the trial unfolds.
Notable Quote:
“We gonna have to tune in. You know I've been telling you, always call it down the middle.” ([03:50])
Throughout the episode, Flo emphasizes the importance of community support and engagement. She thanks her subscribers and listeners, sharing moments of gratitude and personal interactions that reinforce the bond between her and her audience. This segment serves to rally her listeners around the central topic, fostering a sense of collective involvement in the trial's outcome.
Notable Quote:
“You got people that leave a comment on tick on social media and one person Say something. They going crazy. I get a thousand comments, and it don't affect me.” ([36:00])
In her closing remarks, Flo reiterates the significance of the trial, urging her audience to remain vigilant and informed. She likens the upcoming proceedings to a high-stakes battle, predicting intense courtroom drama akin to past landmark cases. Flo assures her listeners that she will continue to provide unfiltered coverage, promising in-depth analysis and real-time updates.
