  Speaker 1: He may be afro man, but he's an American man.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: I give you rapper afro Man.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: I didn't win America one. America still has freedom of speech.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: It's still for the people, by the people.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Really interesting lawsuit just wrapped up. So the Because I
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Got High rapper real name Joseph Foreman, afromn afro Man.
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: So did he have any other hits other than that?
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: I barely remember that? Is he a big deal or not.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: A big deal? I think it was a one off?
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: As I Got High was huge.
• 0:48
  Speaker 5: He had another one called Crazy Rap, I believe, but
• 0:52
  Speaker 5: it didn't even touch Because I Got High.

  Speaker 4: money off I haven't a hit song.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Might be barely yeah. Well not only that.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: But one interesting thing about like rap and hip hop
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: and the old school stuff is there's like immediately a
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: market for it. It's not like rock bands that are cool,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: then they're uncool for a real long time, and then
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: they're cool again. You can do like old school R
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: and B pretty quickly. From what I've observed, not like
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: I'm an expert in it or anything, but so anyway, Afroman,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: who is essentially a one hit novelty wonder, got raided
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: by the cops in Ohio. Let me get to the facts.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Adams County, Ohio. According to the complaint, four deputies, two sergeants,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: and a detective we're acting on a search warrant when
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: they rated mister Foreman's residence in Winchester, Ohio on August
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: of twenty two. The warrants cited kidnapping and drug trafficking
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: as reasons for the search. According to one of the lawyers,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: no charges resulted from the raid. Mister Mann was not
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: at home during the twenty twenty two police raid, but
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: a security camera system and his wife using her cell phone,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: recorded quote the faces and bodies of the officers while
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: they were on the property, according to the lawsuit. Haven't
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: gotten to the lawsuit part yet, but here it is.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Mister Foreman Afroman used the footage that his wife and
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: the security camera took of the cops in his house
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: in music videos, in promotional materials for his tourism on merch,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: including T shirts that depicted the faces of some of
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: the officers, according to the lawsuit.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: But so just thinking about this before you go further.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: So it's my video equipment in my house, and you
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: were in my house. Yes, okay, you have a warrant.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: In one of the music videos entitled will You Help
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Me Repair My Door, surveillance footage shows the officers swinging
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: open a gate, kicking down a door, in roaming, or
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: armed around a living room.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: In a kitchen, they kicked down his door.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: The other lemon pound cake, which will be referenced in
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: the audio We're about to play, shows one of the officers,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: gun in hand, pausing briefly in mister Foreman's kitchen buy
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: a cake inside a glass cloach c l O c che.
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: Isn't that the big dome thing you put.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: It's gotta be Apparently I've never gotten to this age
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: and not heard the word clue.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: And you're so fancy.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: I figured you'd know.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you seem like this. So you have a bidet.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: You seem like the sort of person that would have
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: a cloach. Yeah, several words. See you sitting on the
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: bidet with your cloach in hand, having a sandwich on
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: a plate where you remove the clothes.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: That's reasons, that's unsanitary.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: I'm way too fancy to do that.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: You monsters having a sandwich on a plate where you
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: remove the cloach and have your sandwich in the exactly.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Whilst getting serviced from below. Who no, no, oh, Jack,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: I thought that's where you were going. Never mind, continue story,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: all right.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: So the song is Lemon pound Cake shows one of
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: the officers, gun in hand, pausing briefly by the cake, right,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: and the line in the song is it made the
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: sheriff want to put down his gun and cut him
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: a slice. Then, in a social media post a month
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: after the raid, mister Foreman, wearing one of the promotional
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: t shirts, thanked one of the officers for helping get
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: five point four million views on TikTok. Congratulations again, you're
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: famous for all the wrong reasons. So anyway, the cops
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: sued Afroman over all of this, accused him of causing
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: them mental distress by using footage from the raid on
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: his home in a pair of music videos. They said
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: in a complain that mister Foreman's use of their images
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: in the music videos and to promote his brand had
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: caused them to suffer. Quote humiliation, ridicule, mental distress, embarrassment,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: and loss of reputation. Here is some audio from the
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: actual trial.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Start with fifteen.
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: Can you tell me what fact about you that receding
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: hairline or.
• 5:06
  Speaker 7: Dips refers to? Please? I'm sorry, what private fact of
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: yours does that refer to?
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: I mean, there's a picture of me and sit here
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: talking about.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: See.
• 5:21
  Speaker 7: I wouldn't trust him with myth amphetamine crack ass alone.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: In my house, so I find that pretty insulting.
• 5:27
  Speaker 7: So that's the that statement. What's your sing though? I
• 5:30
  Speaker 7: told you this is one of many, and that's why you.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Keep trying to make it singular.
• 5:34
  Speaker 7: I'm telling you it's it's not singular.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: It's work, okay.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: And so one of them is dips, one is receding hairline,
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: and the other is meth heads.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Yes, this is great to try. If I ever had
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: up on a jury, I want to try it like this.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: This is that attorney going in. I'm not sure if
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: it's the same officer or a different one, doesn't really matter. Sean,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: you were called officer pound cake, bye, mister Foreman multiple times.
• 6:01
  Speaker 7: You all the kinds of powder takes the work, okay.
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: And the context of that name comes from a music
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: video that.
• 6:10
  Speaker 7: Mister Forman created. A correct but I don't know where
• 6:12
  Speaker 7: he got it at. But you'd have to ask him
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: that question.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm gonna play What's mark defense Exhibit B.
• 6:25
  Speaker 7: I'd like you to watch it. Okay, but I tell.
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: You skidnapping the Shipkay?
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Hear the officer testify that he received hundreds of pound
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: cakes at work, sent by various people.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: If I'm a juror, I'm clapping, Yeah, cracking up. I'm
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: sorry I was cracked.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: Well, if I'm the sheriff, I'm cracking up. I think
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: it's just hilarious. I don't sue the guy and sad
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: on My life has been ruined. Did you guys see whatever?
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: Did you see the video of this?
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: No? I haven't.
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: Okay, So when he just said he's a family guy,
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: it's because the dude looks just like Peter Griffin, and
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: he doesn't. He doesn't just stop, doesn't just stop and
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: look at the pound cake. He like stutter stops and
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: then hones in on it. Yes, his intention keeps getting
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: broken from whatever he's aiming his firearm at.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Oh, by the poundcake, kak Glass is a gun out
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: and he keeps getting distracted by the cake. That's fantastic. Yeah,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: I've got to watch this video.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: We'll post it on Armstrong againty dot com. Uh okay,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: so before we wrap up, because I've got to get
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: to the verdict here. It is an attorney grilling mister
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Afroman himself searching your house.
• 8:41
  Speaker 7: Gave you the right to do everything under.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: The circumstance that I got freedom of speech after they
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: run around my house with guns and kick down my door,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: I got the right to kick a can in my backyard.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: Use my freedom of speech, turn my bad times into
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: a good time.
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: Yes, I do.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: And I think I'm a sport for dealing. So because
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: I don't go to their house, kick down their doors,
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: flip them off on their surveillance cameras, then try to
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: play the victim and suit them.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Wow, he won, jury delivered. It's a verdict.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: After the three day trial that raised questions of policing,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: free speeching free speech protections, and artistic freedom, they said no, no,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: you can't sue him, you lose.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: He won because he was funny.
• 9:25
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to didn't hurt. Wow.
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: The ultimate trolling trial.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: That is quite the trolling. First of all, you just
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: you got to handle these situations. If as a cop
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: you leaned into it, it had gone away.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: People have thought you're a good sport, and then that's it.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: Right, the whole my life has been ruined because people
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: think I'm a fat guy who eats cake.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Is not going to work. Ruined, I say.
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: But from the other side of it, though, So if
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: the cops come into my house and it's mistake for
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: whatever reason, they got a bad tip or something like that.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Do I get to use the video with their faces? However?
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: I want?
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Well, if you have a if they have a warrant,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: I'm just thinking it's true.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, obviously I'm not an attorney. Oh there's the video. Yep.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: He really is like, whoa, that's a good looking cake.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Stop some dead in his tracks.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: You got your gun out though, so you're you're at
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: the I might have to take a life or have
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: my life taken stage.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Look at that cake? Is that chocolate?
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: He has his pistol, his firearm pistol in his hand,
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: and he is like, oh wait a minute.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Does this serious double take? Oh there's a close up
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: of it. Broke his neck. I'm gonna remove that close.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Let me sneak my hand under the clothes briefly and
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: grab me a little flyer.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: That is funny.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Wow, well, I am intrigued the legalities here. It was
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: a civil suit, so he broke no laws, so its
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: then entirely this was out of line and hurt my
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: feelings and made me suffer.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: So therefore, oh.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so there are no laws involved per se.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Really one of them flipped off his camera. Sounds like
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: I'll have to take mister Foreman's word for it. He's
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: wearing a pot leaf decorated suit of multi colors in
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: the video, jack and sunglasses though he is indoors.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Od though he is not being blinded by the sun.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, the cop really features in the video.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Oh my golly.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Yes, he does look like Peter Griffin. Oh there's a
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: caption over him.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: What's that? Why is the eyes the power?
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: Oh my, Oh that's fantastic. That's very entertaining. And people
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: started sending the cop pound cakes.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Oh that's the hundreds of them.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: People shent me hundreds of pound cakes at work.
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: Every day you show up to work, there's ten more.
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: Oh you gotta be kidding, ten more poundcakes.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Give them to the poor sir, the poor around here
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: getting fatter than you.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: You've got to stop giving the poundcakes. He's a family guy,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: that is old boy. All right, are we all now
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: craving a slice of cake? I am?
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Always. Well, I guess that's it.
