  Speaker 1: Ah, happy thursday, the day after christmas, feeling good, feeling great, hope everybody enjoyed their christmas.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: If you celebrate and if you don't celebrate christmas, then go ahead about your business and don't celebrate.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: But, um, we got a good show for you today and, uh, speaking of celebrating, let me tell you about the show before we get into my rant.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Uh, I got a couple little things to rant about today.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Um, it's not much new news.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, I got some new news for you, of course, but news cycle kind of slowed down normally does when it's the holidays.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: You know shit.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: People who you know, journalists, take days off too.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: So when it's holidays and weekends, not much new news, unless something breaks, like on social media or something crazy, but not in the stuff we like to get into.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: But today, beyonce is in hot water.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you watched her performance during the halftime of the Houston Texan game, houston Texas versus the Ravens.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I believe, yeah, ravens, I believe, yeah, um, I don't know if you caught that, but uh, there was a?
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Um, a performance by beyonce.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: That sparked some controversy and it didn't have anything to do with diddy.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna talk about that um andiani news.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Uh, if you don't know, that's the uh, the guy who they are allegedly saying that he shot a, the ceo of the united healthcare, and killed him, and he's on trial and it's been crazy and all the women are going crazy about him and this and that.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: And I don't know if y'all saw that burgundy outfit, but I got some news on that burgundy outfit or that burgundy sweater or whatever he had on.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: He's looking like he was fresh out of amber crumbie magazine.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I got some news on that.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: And uh, whatever else we I see uh in my phone as I talk because normally I just know what I'm talking about and I kind of just flow with it.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: That's why my name flow.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I don't really I do a little preparing, but I don't prepare too much because I like to keep it authentic, and so that's why you get a lot of my real-time um reactions, because I already know what I'm talking about and then, as I dive through the news of it, I like to give you my reaction right then and there.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: So I don't really like to do too much prepping, because it takes away from the authenticity of the reactions.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: So we're going to just bounce around and get it in and get back into the swing of things.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Today, you people who have to have a big, they have a big problem with people who who celebrate Christmas, or or or you say, um, you don't celebrate it, or you say it's fake, or whatever you believe.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Hey, I'm the type of person, whatever you believe is fine with me, but whatever I believe, better be fine with you.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know what, what, what, what gets people so upset or feeling like they have to be speak out and say something about somebody because they're celebrating christmas or whatever.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Like I mean, like I saw people in the comments, some of my comments like afloat, you shouldn't like christmas, it's a fake holiday and this and that.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Look, my grandmammy celebrated christmas.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: My grandmammy's daughter celebrated christmas.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: My mama which would have been my mama instilled Christmas in us.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: I celebrated, my siblings celebrated, their kids celebrated, my sons celebrated, we fucking celebrated.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: If you don't, that's fine.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Like I don't have a problem with people.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: You have a different opinion or you have different beliefs, for whatever reason.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Have at it, but what you're not going to do is tell me what the fuck to do.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Like I, I don't like that.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Like, I like to live.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Like my, my, one of my models is live and let live.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Like, like, whatever you believe is fine, but don't don't be overbearing on people.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Like, don't be overbearing on people.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Like, don't don't force your beliefs and views on people you don't.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: You ain't grow up with that person.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: You didn't grow up with me.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: So you don't know what christmas means to me.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: You don't know what christmas means to my family.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: You don't know the memories that we have with christmas.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: You don't know none of that.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: So for you to just jump in somebody's comment section or somebody's thing telling them what they should do and what they should do and not do and all of that about Christmas, I don't like that and I'll let you know in a very respectful manner.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: I'm going to clap back King.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: So y'all know I'm not going to get raunchy and nasty with you, but I will get direct and honest and sometimes people take that the wrong way.
• 5:50

  Speaker 1: You know how it is during the holidays.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: It's like you got so many off days then the weekends kind of throws your schedule off.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: But we still on it.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Now let's get into some of this crazy news.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Whoa, this, this news cycle has been fucking crazy.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: All right, so we're gonna talk about.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know if y'all watched the beyonce thing it's.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: And then, damn, y'all remember the days when and this is I'm talking to the old people, so all my young listeners bear with me today I'm feeling like I'm on, I'm on my reflect on how old I am now and all that, so y'all have to bear with me, youngins.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: I remember when I was young, um, and y'all didn't want to hear this shit.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: But here you go, remember the days when it was like three channels, it was like three, five and eight and maybe like a sneaky 19 in there somewhere.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: So it was like three, five, eight and 19 maybe, or whatever, and the football game or whatever show we wanted to watch.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: But let's talk about sports, since we're talking about sports, all the sports you know either came on three or eight or whatever wasn't really much so you could find it.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Now this shit comes on so many different channels and and apps and streaming here, streaming there.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know where the fuck to find nothing.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: It's like, okay, the game's on, yeah, what is it on?
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Is it on?
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Is it on hulu?
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Is it on netflix?
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Is it on regular tv?
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Is it streaming?
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Is it on nfl network?
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Where the fuck is the game at y'all, because it's not like it used to be.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: You used to get just turn on your tv and click it a couple times and you're gonna run into the game even if you didn't know what channel it was on.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Now it's like a scavenger hunt, trying to find out where the fuck the game is on.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: So after I finally found out where the game was playing, it was on netflix, but then there was some people that was watching it on regular tvflix, but then there was some people that was watching on regular tv.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: So I don't even know y'all, that's neither here nor there.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: So I finally found a motherfucker on netflix.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: And so who's performing?
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Beyonce?
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: And me, just knowing how the news goes, um, I knew it was gonna be some controversy.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: I just didn't know what.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Like we we've gotten to the point where we know if it's a big, huge artist performing on a big stage, there's gonna be some controversy, and I think that's on both parts.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Um, on the part of the artist, it's controversial because, as an artist, we're always looking to add a little shock value.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Let's just be honest, because there's millions of things people could be paying attention to, and if you don't have a little shock value in what you're doing, you will not be seen or heard.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Let's just be honest, you know, I keep it real with y'all.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, some people go overboard with it.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: I would never.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: That's not me, but.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: But but you do have to have an element of of some type of something to keep it interesting.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: So, knowing that.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: So on the artists, they do that.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: But then also on the side of the fans, when it's when it's something big going on, we always looking for something and that's always that.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: So it's kind of like a 50 50 thing.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: It go both ways.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: The controversy, uh, is kind of needled by the.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: The artists kind of like purposely put a little, put a little controversy in there.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: But then on the side of uh the fans, we, we kind of look for shit too.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: So that's kind of what's going on with this beyonce thing.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Um, and we're about to get into it.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Uh, she performed uh at halftime and what were they talking about?
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: They were talking about a finger.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: She had a finger motion with a gun, uh, where she made gun fingers, um, and then it had a big bang up under her and the gun people went crazy.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: So we about to get into that, all right, so let's get started.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: So let's let me do my little intro.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Let y'all know what the fuck is going on and what this is.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: This is the flow show, no filter.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: And you know what I do here.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: I dive into the stories that a lot of people was either scared of or they didn't even know what's going on, and I break it down whether it's pop, culture, sports or everything in between.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: And so today we're going to dive into Beyonce's controversial NFL Christmas Day halftime performance and the backlash over her unsportsmanlike finger gun gesture and I say unsportsmanlike in quotations.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: This is the NFL rules and this is the fans talking and what we want to know today.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Is it fair criticism or is it just another case of selective outrage?
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Let's get into it.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: So First let's talk about the performance itself.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: You got Beyonce, the Queen B, taking center stage at the Texans Ravens game.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: She rolled into the stadium on a horseback.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: She rolled into the stadium on a horseback.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: She delivered an electrifying show featuring tracks from her new album, the Cowboy Carter, the controversial country album that she just dropped not too long ago.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Now we have Post Malone.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: There's another artist I'm sure you're familiar with him Andabuzy, which is a country artist.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: He is an african-american country artist.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Shabuzy, uh, a young guy, um, I don't know, it looks like he's in his 20s.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know, though.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: He look like he's in his mid 20s maybe, I don't know, but uh, shabuzy.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: I actually was one of the first people to uh tell the word about shibuzi.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, he already had some buzz, but in mainstream, you know, a lot of people wasn't covering country.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: I was the first person to talk about shibuzi and a couple other artists before beyonce even got into it.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Um, into the country wave.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: So shout out to shibuzi.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: But he was also performing, and B as far as the grand finale, they put Beyonce on a scaffold.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: That shit looked dangerous as hell.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: I think I was talking to my best friend or something.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: I remember telling somebody when it was going on, like ain't no way in hell I would be on that damn scaffold, uh, getting pulled up to the clouds.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: But beyonce did it.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: You know, she a performer, ain't nothing for her to do that.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: And so when she got on that scaffold scaffold, when it took her up to the damn sky, the clouds she made a finger gun gesture and a bang banner, b--a-n-g.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Big bang banner dropped behind her and so it sounds, you know, sounds cool, right, but the NFL fans went crazy about it and there's a reason y'all we're going to get into that, like there's a reason, because it's the NFL, it's part of the culture of the nfl going crazy on this gun shit in general.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: So, um, but yeah, they went crazy and um, beyonce's ability to dominate the stage, and especially with the nfl, goes all the way back to her halftime performance and and and she's just always shut it down when she's done halftime show.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Now we can say whatever about you know beyonce outside of the music and it's a lot going on with her and jay-z, but right now we're really just talking about the performance and what went on with that and as far as and so you would think, with her success on the you know super bowl performance and stuff like that that she's done in the past, you would have thought this would have been a perfect platform, which it probably was, but it turned into controversy when she pulled them guns out of, when she made them gun gestures with her fingers, and that's where the shit got heated.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Okay, so that finger gun gesture sparked immediate backlash, because nfl players have faced harsh penalties.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: This, this particular season, for the similar celebrations.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Nfl executive Troy Vincent and Commissioner Roger Goodell have been vocal about banning such gestures, calling them inappropriate and out of line with the league's values.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Now the league's rules are clear no simulated violence.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: But does that same rule apply to halftime performers?
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Okay, so the NFL has been very hard.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: They have a strong stance against guns, whether it's make believe, fear for real, serious or what, and the policy is consistently, um, enforced as far as if you, if you break it by glorifying guns in any kind of way.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: So, uh, what do y'all think about that?
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Like, do y'all think that you should, what the players do is separate, or do you think, as an entertainer, you should follow the same rules?
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: Or do you think you get your, you have your own artistic expression and you shouldn't have to follow the same rules as the players in the NFL?
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: And do you think there's a double standard at play?
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: So social media, as always, had a lot to say.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Some fans called out the double standard.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: They pointed out the fact that beyonce's gesture didn't receive the same immediate penalty players might face.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Others joked about it, said where's the flag on beyonce?
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: And it's interesting to see how the internet reacts when the queen is involved.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: It's like when, when beyonce, she, she gonna stir the pot, pot in general, no matter what, and so what, whether it's a.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: If that was a rapper, what would they have did?
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: What do you think?
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Do you think if a rapper did that, do you think it would be, uh, more penalties?
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Do you think it'd be more outrage or less outrage?
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: All I know is, if you go on twitter formally I mean well, x, formally twitter you'll see so many fans with so much to say about beyonce making finger just a finger, gun gestures.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: And this comes because the NFL has had an image problem as far as over the years with violence and and and violence on the field, violence off the field.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: So they are very, very hypersensitive when it comes to gun gestures and stuff like that.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: But here's the bigger question is this gonna end up being a pr nightmare for the nfl, because this just happened yesterday, y'all and remember it's first thing in the morning, so we'll know later on today and as the day is gone, like, how much of an effect it really had.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Or is people gonna just let it blow over and not be a big deal?
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: But the jury is still out on all of that.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Uh, the league, which is already under scrutiny, um, for how it handles players, conduct safety and celebrations like people are already like thinking that the the league is over-policing shit.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: So now, with Beyonce's halftime show, which was supposed to be a layup for the league, basically a win for them, has turned into a high-profile artist bringing more controversy instead of more viewers, which is questioning the league's priorities.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Now, the, the nfl's um, has had so many controversies with these celebrations that it's kind of hard to run from um.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: There have been many players I can't think of them off the top of my head but there are many, many, many players who have got flags or or ejected from games or or penalties for no reason, and it's really starting to drive the fans crazy, which is a big reason why I think everybody's going crazy about this.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Beyonce mess with the finger point.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know if y'all saw it, but definitely y'all need to check it out and see what y'all think.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Now, this isn't the first time beyonce has caused a little stir during a performance.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: If you remember, go back to the 2016 superbowl halftime show.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Uh, it was a black panther inspired.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Know, they had the costumes, the choreography and all of that kind of drew similar backlash from different groups of people, but it also solidified her reputation as an artist that's unafraid to make a statement, to make a statement.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Compare the two performances and explore how controversy often follows iconic moments and ask yourself does this incident harm Beyonce's legacy or does it add to her aura of being unapologetically bold?
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: So my takeaway is I don't think the making a finger, um, finger gun and a bang, the way she did it I thought it was being, it was art.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: It didn't look like menacing but, um, I also can see because of the nfl has made such a big deal about it.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: I can see why the fans are.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: So I will put more blame on the nfl and that they need to lighten up a little bit, just in general on the, the players and the flags, because they take away from the fun of the game with all that extra.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: You know they don't let the players show any emotion and stuff like that.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's a good thing.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: But a lot of controversy came out of this and, with the NFL being overly strict, it's causing a lot of people to talk shit.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: So, like I said, we are still early in this.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: This just happened last night and people you know have been been talking about overnight and in the morning but we'll know later on today um, what if people are really pissed or if the NFL is going to speak on it or whatever.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: And I'll keep, uh, keep an eye on that, just like I'm keeping an eye on this Diddy Jay-Z situation.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: It's getting crazier and crazier.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Now we have Dame Dash.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Dame Dash If you don't know who Dame Dash is, he used to be Jay-Z's business partner.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: He started Rockefeller Records with jay-z.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: It was jay-z, uh, dame, and biggs, not biggie smalls, a biggs, uh, a solid investor that most of y'all probably don't even know.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: He stays in the shadows anyway.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: I don't have to tell you that dame and jay-z have went their separate ways and it's been controversy here and there ever since.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: But now, uh, the dame dash has got into it with noriega.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Noriega is the host of drink champs.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you know drink Champs, but it's one of the first podcast style interviewing shows where they kind of just you know, you drink and smoke and kind of just kick it like a norm, like regular, and it's one of the first of its kind.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: But anyway, dane was talking about he was on there.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Him and Damon Noriega have been going back and forth.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: Noriega is like Team Diddy and Jay-Z.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: For the most part he's going to support them every step of the way, it seems like.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: But anyway, dame talked about first of all the way it all started was let me cut to the chase First of all.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Let me get to this.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Let me cut to the chase.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: First of all, let me get this out there.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: Dame jess said that they tried to force him to drink sorak liquor, which is diddy's liquor, and dame feel like the liquor was spiked and I'm gonna tell you why in a second.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: But let me give you how this even came about.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: So dame dash and noriega have been going back and forth.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: Uh, first of all, noriega said that dame dash didn't pay him for being in a movie back in the day uh, one of those state property movies that jay, that dame, did in the era when he was with jay-z.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: And then dame dash said look, it was a bit part.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: He wasn't even.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: He was just which kind of look out for him.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: He had no acting skills.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: It was a bit part.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: He wasn't even.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: He was just which kind of look out for him.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: He had no acting skills, it was not even nothing.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: He thought it was just a more of a lookout for him.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: Uh, because jay-z really didn't want nori.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: You know, he didn't want to sign nori.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: So dame dash figured he'd give him a little couple seconds in the movie.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: So so dame said he didn't think it was nothing to be paid for.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: But then dame dash goes back and say well, do you pay people to go and drink champs?
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: And so they went back and forth.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: And then it got uglier when dame said um, I was on that show, I was on this show and he kept trying to force me to drink this fucking siroc.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: And he said dame dash said he had his own liquor and and so he said Nori kept forcing him, forcing him.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: So he said you know what?
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: So he said he tricked him.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: He said he acted like he took the Ciroc, but he switched it back and had his regular drink and switched with Nori and Nori drank the drink that he was supposed to drink.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: I know it's a little confusing, but follow me.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: So now Nori has the drink that he tried to pass dame dash, and dame dash said you can go back.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: And I looked at it and you can go yourself on that episode on drink champs.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: If you look up drink champs, noriega, when dame dash was on there, um, you'll see what I'm talking about where he switched the drinks.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: So he says when he switched the drink it was just one cup of one glass of liquor.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: So he said noriega was drinking the drink, drinking that drink and immediately started wilding, going crazy, just like extra drunk, super drunk.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: And at that moment dame dash said he said to himself these motherfuckers tried to spike me or drug me or whatever.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: You know, maybe they wanted him to talk more shit or to tell some secrets.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: But dame dad said there's no way that little glass of liquor was supposed to do all that.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: And so he believes to this day that they tried to drug him with that Ciroc and the Diddy juice.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: And so, like I said before y'all know I've been saying this on this podcast since the beginning Be careful with these drinks.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Y'all, be careful taking drinks from people, be careful leaving your drink in your public.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: From what I'm seeing, the drinking, the spike in drink shit is actually like an epidemic in the industry, like I don't know what went on with bill cosby, but obviously he got in trouble for it and I wasn't there so I don't know, but let's just go with the facts that we know.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: We know he went, he got in trouble for it and so we thought it was just like some back in the day, shit you know.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: But then you started to realize everybody these days is talking about their drinks getting spiked in the industry.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: This is dame dash feeling like his drink was spiked, and it begs the question is there really a fucking real problem in the industry with people spiking drinks?
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: I think this diddy case is gonna bring it out.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: More and more people are gonna speak on this shit because this is a problem.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: I didn't know it was this bad.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: I did not know drinks were getting spiked like this because, see, I don't drink with people.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: So even when I was like heavy in the industry, I just didn't take drinks from people.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: Um, I got my drinks from the bar where I could see them making my drink.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: I drank my drink.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: I never left my drink and if I ever left it, when I came back I didn't drink it because I'm like you know what?
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the fuck might happen.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: So fortunately I've never been spiked.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: So I didn't know, um, that it was such a problem in the industry.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: But now, with this diddy case and with d Dame Dash saying that he felt like he was to the point where he's on a show switching his drinks, y'all.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: So imagine what that says about the culture.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: Dame is in the culture all the way.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: Can't take that away from him, no matter what you might feel like if he fell off or da-da-da, whatever you might.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Sayame dash is a staple in hip-hop culture and for him to be on a show with his peers and feeling like he has to switch a drink because he feels like, and then and then, once he switches it, that nori drinks it and starts going crazy, that's kind of crazy, y'all, and it just speaks to the level of bullshit that's going on in the game.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: And this is a cleansing.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: This diddy shit is cleansing an industry that needs cleansing not to continue on the diddy, noriega jay-z, all this shit mixed up.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: Now we got tony yayo with explosive um information or theories, um, and if you don't know, tony yayo is 50 cents right hand man, he's a rapper, um he's, he was with g unit, he's been with 50 cent from the beginning and he has some things to say.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: He said that he believes diddy is snitching on jay-z to divert attention from his trafficking case, and so I thought that was interesting and, like I said, these is this is a matter of opinion, but at the same time, these are people like a tony ayo.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: These are people who are, who have been in the industry for 20 plus years, um, and they've seen it all, done it all, and, for the most part, tony ayo really don't have no reason to lie.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, he don't.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: He's just speaking on what he's seeing, though, and these are crazy accusations, like I said, true or not.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: What does that say about the people?
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: For them that that for tony ayo to even believe that that's even possible, like that, diddy is snitching on jay-z, what does he have to snitch on him about?
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: A lot, apparently, but that's what I'm saying.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: So obviously, there's not just people in the know or the victims.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: There are people like tony ayo that believe jay-Z has done a lot of shit, because if he's saying Diddy is snitching on him, what is he snitching about If Jay-Z hasn't done anything?
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: So it's just so many context clues and people saying shit.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: One thing I can say People like Tony Yale that are stepping up and saying shit, you pretty much know they don't have no crazy skeletons, because the people with the crazy skeletons are the ones they not saying shit.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: You ever thought about that?
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: Y'all paying that attention, y'all paying that close attention.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: You got a couple people that are talking like a 50, like a Tony Yale, like a Dame Dash, you know couple people, but you got a whole bunch of people that ain't saying a motherfucking thing, and to me that says a lot.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: I'm more or less looking at the people who are commenting and saying shit like okay, well, that pretty much shows me they don't really have nothing to hide, because they would.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: They would be trying to be quiet like the rest of these celebrities.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: But the celebrities who aren't saying shit, oh, y'all guilty.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: Y'all are guilty.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: Y'all are guilty Because for y'all to speak out For all type of shit but not speaking out For this crazy shit going on, oh y'all guilty as hell.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: And according to Tony Yale, he is putting everybody out there and putting them on notice.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: Now, what else we got going on?
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: Y'all have y'all been paying attention before?
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: I forget, because I thought this was funny or not funny, but it was.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: This was some crazy news.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: So let's go to um luigi, uh, magione, the, the, the uh alleged suspect.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: They say he's the one who put up, put bullets in brian thompson, the united healthcare ceo.
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: Well, something just happened.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: Y'all, do y'all remember that?
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: Um, burgundy, he just had that burgundy sweater on with the white collar.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: Well, how about do y'all know that?
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: That sold out?
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: Everybody's buying that sweater.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: Now luigi is a certified rock star.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: Listen to this.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: This is from uh, hollywood, unlocked uh the social media page and it says amid his high profile case for the murder of United Health Care CEO Brian Thompson, luigi Maggioni's courtroom appearance turned heads with his attire during his first courtroom appearance on Monday, december 23, 23rd y'all.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: They had him looking like an amber crime, being french model.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: Um, they had him looking like, uh, the back in the day, the, the, the gap model or the are those bugle boy jeans you're wearing and all of that.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: And so maggioni wore a burgundy sweater paired with a white collared shirt, light gray uh slacks and orange shoe and orange shoes.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: Uh fashion enthusiast initially believed he was sporting a thousand dollar um maize and margiela sweater.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: Um, however, it was later revealed that he was actually wearing a merino crew neck sweater from nordstrom, which retails for about 89.50 but is currently on sale for 6265.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: Now, although the specific sweater quickly sold out on the site, it is still available in six other colors, according to the website.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: Now, news of the sweater's popularity spread rapidly across social media, with users being shocked that the sweater sold out so quickly.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: Now, with that sweater on, I'm going to say he pleaded not guilty to all charges and his attorney, karen agnifilio, expressed concerns about the fairness of the trial which we went over.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: Yet, uh, the other day, in the last episode, she scrutinized New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who has his own Cases that he's dealing with, and Basically, agnophilia argued that luigi maggioni is basically being a political fighter and being made a spectacle of, and so let's follow that closely.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: But if you want to get that, it's uh wash, it's the.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: The title is washable, marino, and marino is spelled m-e-r-i-n-o.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: Uh, marino crew neck sweater it is.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: They might be putting it back up.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: It might be back up.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: It says it fits true to size.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: Get your own luigi magianu sweater from nordstrom.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: Now, also speaking of luigi, of a close someone close to him said he is extremely aware of the massive fan base that he's acquired behind these allegations and, as of right now, he is shocked and very choked up about it and appreciates the support.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: And when he first saw the report I mean saw the support that he received, he said it gave him a lot of confidence and reassurance that he's going to be okay.
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: So that Luigi Maggiani case is about to be a wild one.
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know when the last time we seen a suspect's attire sell out the same day he wears it.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: Something different.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: Going on with this case, y'all let's pay attention to it.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: So the cases that we will be paying attention to over the next few weeks will be, of course we're going to follow this jay-z diddy situation closely.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: Oh, and the tony busby situation.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: As a matter of fact damn it, I almost forgot about tony busby, as where in the world is tony bugsby?
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: And that's what it, and that's b-u-z-b-u-z-z-b-u-z-b-e-e, um.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: The tony busby is the attorney, um, who has so many lawsuits against j?
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: Uh diddy I can't I miss counting and he's also turned his focus on the Jay-Z, but I think Jay-Z has put a serious wrinkle in Tony Busby's playbook or whatever.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: Tony Busby had a bomb to drop on Jay-Z and he was going to drop it at the uh, you know, for the appearance, the, the performance, beyonce's performance that I just spoke about um, but that bomb never came and, matter of fact, tony Busby has been relatively quiet ever since Jay-Z went on the attack and and y'all know we want these, these victims, to get um justice.
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: So I'm like watching it like, okay, what's going on Busby, what's up?
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: And I know that Jay-Z's uh.
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: I know that jay-z's uh attack on busby has had an effect on tony busby because he has all his comments turned off now on his instagram and it wasn't like that before.
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: I've been following tony busby's page for a while now and you can't even comment now and if you don't know exactly what's going on, what you should, because you've been following this podcast, you know we've been deep diving in all of this stuff.
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: But uh, tony busby went on the attack on jay-z, put him in the um in the lawsuit uh for uh um, the lawsuit that that tony busby had with diddy and the 13 year old woman that he allegedly raped.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: Uh, he, he announced that jay-z was also a suspect or a defendant, I should say in that case.
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: And then jay-z went crazy.
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: He said, no, I don't have nothing to do with it, you're gonna, you're gonna pay for this.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: Um basically just went very aggressive and then his lawyer, jay-z's lawyer, went very aggressive at tony busby and at tony busby act like it wasn't gonna be, have any effect on him and it was frivolous and blah, blah, blah.
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: But ever since then y'all he has been quiet, even when he announced, um, a lawsuit after that.
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: It was very low-key, he.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: He announced it on his instagram page but he turned off all the comments.
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: I, I want y'all go to tony busby's instagram page and you'll know what I'm see.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: You'll see what I'm talking about.
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: All his comments are turned off and that's because jay-z and them ran uh, they, they put that story out or or had a victim.
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know who has something to do with it, but there was a victim saying that tony busby gave her a std and also a victim saying that Tony Busby stole his uh settlement money and that shit took, took off like wildfire, and then it was after that when I noticed now before, that all his comments were on.
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: Everything was normal.
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: After that, tony Busby turned off all those comments, especially for the more recent posts.
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: So go check that out.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: So I'm watching it and and and I'm not gonna count tony busby out because he has a track record and I believe he wouldn't put all this shit out if he didn't have anything, but it's looking real shaky right now.
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: It's looking real shaky right now.
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: Like I said, when I saw his comments turned off I was like, oh, this shit is affecting him.
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: This shit is definitely affecting him because he did not have his comments turned off before, and so a lot of people hit me up too.
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: Uh, because we were waiting on that bomb.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: A lot of people said what's up with the bomb with tony busby that he was supposed to drop?
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: I said I don't know.
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: He put the bomb back up, I guess, and so we're gonna see how this plays out.
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: But right now, this could be the calm before the storm, or this could be.
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: Jay-z calmed his ass down.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: Y'all, like I said, we, we wait, we sitting back and waiting.
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: I'm just waiting and seeing what's gonna happen next, but all I know is um, he's been quiet, so let's, let's, let's see what tony busby has after this.
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: Maybe he's just enjoying the holidays and and he's gonna get back on the wagon here shortly.
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: But as of right now, if anybody wondering about the bomb busby was supposed to be dropping, um, during or before the beyonce performance or around.
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: This time hasn't come yet and y'all know, as soon as they come, I will, I will break it down and cover it, just like everything else.
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: So let's definitely, uh, keep an eye on the tony busby, jay-z diddy situation, because something, that something, something going on, because tony busby is quiet for a reason.
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: So let's see what what comes about of that.
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: But I definitely was looking for, looking for it and seeing, you know, seeing what, what tony busby was going to do, but he didn't do anything, y'all.
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: So I just had to to keep it real with y'all on that and let's see if there's anything else that we needed to to dive into today.
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: Uh, I don't want to forget anything.
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: We talked about the dame dash.
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: Uh, we talked about, uh, jay-z and diddy.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: As y'all know, diddy celebrated Christmas behind bars with Corned Hash and they were supposed to have a basketball tournament.
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: So I don't know what went on with that.
• 47:59
