1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: He forgot to pay his attorney because he got high.

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: It's one more thing.

3
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 2: I'm one more thing.

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: He may be afro man, but he's an American man.

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,119
Speaker 1: I give you rapper afro Man.

6
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 3: I didn't win America one. America still has freedom of speech.

7
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 2: It's still for the people, by the people.

8
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 1: Really interesting lawsuit just wrapped up. So the Because I

9
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 1: Got High rapper real name Joseph Foreman, afromn afro Man.

10
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 4: So did he have any other hits other than that?

11
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 4: I barely remember that? Is he a big deal or not.

12
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 2: A big deal? I think it was a one off?

13
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 2: As I Got High was huge.

14
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 5: He had another one called Crazy Rap, I believe, but

15
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 5: it didn't even touch Because I Got High.

16
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 4: Because I Got High, Wood's very big. And was that

17
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 4: back in the day where you make a lot of

18
00:00:58,080 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 4: money off I haven't a hit song.

19
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 2: Might be barely yeah. Well not only that.

20
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: But one interesting thing about like rap and hip hop

21
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: and the old school stuff is there's like immediately a

22
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 1: market for it. It's not like rock bands that are cool,

23
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: then they're uncool for a real long time, and then

24
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: they're cool again. You can do like old school R

25
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: and B pretty quickly. From what I've observed, not like

26
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: I'm an expert in it or anything, but so anyway, Afroman,

27
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: who is essentially a one hit novelty wonder, got raided

28
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 1: by the cops in Ohio. Let me get to the facts.

29
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: Adams County, Ohio. According to the complaint, four deputies, two sergeants,

30
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: and a detective we're acting on a search warrant when

31
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: they rated mister Foreman's residence in Winchester, Ohio on August

32
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: of twenty two. The warrants cited kidnapping and drug trafficking

33
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: as reasons for the search. According to one of the lawyers,

34
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: no charges resulted from the raid. Mister Mann was not

35
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: at home during the twenty twenty two police raid, but

36
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: a security camera system and his wife using her cell phone,

37
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 1: recorded quote the faces and bodies of the officers while

38
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: they were on the property, according to the lawsuit. Haven't

39
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: gotten to the lawsuit part yet, but here it is.

40
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:26,679
Speaker 1: Mister Foreman Afroman used the footage that his wife and

41
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: the security camera took of the cops in his house

42
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: in music videos, in promotional materials for his tourism on merch,

43
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: including T shirts that depicted the faces of some of

44
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: the officers, according to the lawsuit.

45
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 4: But so just thinking about this before you go further.

46
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 4: So it's my video equipment in my house, and you

47
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 4: were in my house. Yes, okay, you have a warrant.

48
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 1: In one of the music videos entitled will You Help

49
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: Me Repair My Door, surveillance footage shows the officers swinging

50
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: open a gate, kicking down a door, in roaming, or

51
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: armed around a living room.

52
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 2: In a kitchen, they kicked down his door.

53
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: The other lemon pound cake, which will be referenced in

Speaker 5: Isn't that the big dome thing you put.

58
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 2: It's gotta be Apparently I've never gotten to this age

00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 2: and not heard the word clue.

Speaker 1: the officers, gun in hand, pausing briefly by the cake, right,

76
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: and the line in the song is it made the

Speaker 1: sheriff want to put down his gun and cut him

78
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:17,680

00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: after the raid, mister Foreman, wearing one of the promotional

80
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: t shirts, thanked one of the officers for helping get

81
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: five point four million views on TikTok. Congratulations again, you're

82
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: famous for all the wrong reasons. So anyway, the cops

83
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: sued Afroman over all of this, accused him of causing

84
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 1: them mental distress by using footage from the raid on

85
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 1: his home in a pair of music videos. They said

86
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 1: in a complain that mister Foreman's use of their images

87
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: in the music videos and to promote his brand had

88
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: caused them to suffer. Quote humiliation, ridicule, mental distress, embarrassment,

89
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: and loss of reputation. Here is some audio from the

90
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: actual trial.

91
00:04:58,520 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 2: Start with fifteen.

92
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 6: Can you tell me what fact about you that receding

93
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 6: hairline or.

94
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 7: Dips refers to? Please? I'm sorry, what private fact of

95
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 7: yours does that refer to?

96
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 4: I mean, there's a picture of me and sit here

97
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 4: talking about.

98
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 2: See.

99
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 7: I wouldn't trust him with myth amphetamine crack ass alone.

100
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 3: In my house, so I find that pretty insulting.

101
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 7: So that's the that statement. What's your sing though? I

102
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 7: told you this is one of many, and that's why you.

103
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 3: Keep trying to make it singular.

104
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 7: I'm telling you it's it's not singular.

105
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 3: It's work, okay.

106
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 4: And so one of them is dips, one is receding hairline,

107
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 4: and the other is meth heads.

108
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: Yes, this is great to try. If I ever had

109
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: up on a jury, I want to try it like this.

110
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: This is that attorney going in. I'm not sure if

111
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 1: it's the same officer or a different one, doesn't really matter. Sean,

112
00:05:55,240 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: you were called officer pound cake, bye, mister Foreman multiple times.

113
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 7: You all the kinds of powder takes the work, okay.

114
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 6: And the context of that name comes from a music

115
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 6: video that.

116
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 7: Mister Forman created. A correct but I don't know where

117
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 7: he got it at. But you'd have to ask him

118
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:16,679
Speaker 7: that question.

119
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 2: Well, I'm gonna play What's mark defense Exhibit B.

120
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 7: I'd like you to watch it. Okay, but I tell.

00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 7: Okay.

123
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: Hear the officer testify that he received hundreds of pound

124
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: cakes at work, sent by various people.

125
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 2: If I'm a juror, I'm clapping, Yeah, cracking up. I'm

126
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 2: sorry I was cracked.

127
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 4: Well, if I'm the sheriff, I'm cracking up. I think

128
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 4: it's just hilarious. I don't sue the guy and sad

129
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 4: on My life has been ruined. Did you guys see whatever?

130
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 4: Did you see the video of this?

131
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 2: No? I haven't.

132
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 5: Okay, So when he just said he's a family guy,

133
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 5: it's because the dude looks just like Peter Griffin, and

134
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 5: he doesn't. He doesn't just stop, doesn't just stop and

135
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 5: look at the pound cake. He like stutter stops and

136
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 5: then hones in on it. Yes, his intention keeps getting

137
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 5: broken from whatever he's aiming his firearm at.

138
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 2: Oh, by the poundcake, kak Glass is a gun out

139
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 2: and he keeps getting distracted by the cake. That's fantastic. Yeah,

140
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 2: I've got to watch this video.

141
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: We'll post it on Armstrong againty dot com. Uh okay,

142
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: so before we wrap up, because I've got to get

143
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: to the verdict here. It is an attorney grilling mister

144
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: Afroman himself searching your house.

145
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 7: Gave you the right to do everything under.

146
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 3: The circumstance that I got freedom of speech after they

147
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 3: run around my house with guns and kick down my door,

148
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 3: I got the right to kick a can in my backyard.

149
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 3: Use my freedom of speech, turn my bad times into

150
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 3: a good time.

151
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 7: Yes, I do.

152
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 3: And I think I'm a sport for dealing. So because

153
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 3: I don't go to their house, kick down their doors,

154
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 3: flip them off on their surveillance cameras, then try to

155
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 3: play the victim and suit them.

156
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 2: Wow, he won, jury delivered. It's a verdict.

157
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: After the three day trial that raised questions of policing,

158
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: free speeching free speech protections, and artistic freedom, they said no, no,

159
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: you can't sue him, you lose.

160
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 2: He won because he was funny.

161
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 7: Wow.

162
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to didn't hurt. Wow.

163
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 5: The ultimate trolling trial.

164
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 4: That is quite the trolling. First of all, you just

165
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 4: you got to handle these situations. If as a cop

166
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 4: you leaned into it, it had gone away.

167
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 2: People have thought you're a good sport, and then that's it.

168
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 4: Right, the whole my life has been ruined because people

169
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 4: think I'm a fat guy who eats cake.

170
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 2: Is not going to work. Ruined, I say.

171
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 4: But from the other side of it, though, So if

172
00:09:55,480 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 4: the cops come into my house and it's mistake for

173
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 4: whatever reason, they got a bad tip or something like that.

174
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 2: Do I get to use the video with their faces? However?

175
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 2: I want?

176
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: Well, if you have a if they have a warrant,

177
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking it's true.

178
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously I'm not an attorney. Oh there's the video. Yep.

179
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 2: He really is like, whoa, that's a good looking cake.

180
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 2: Stop some dead in his tracks.

181
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 4: You got your gun out though, so you're you're at

182
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 4: the I might have to take a life or have

183
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 4: my life taken stage.

184
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 2: Look at that cake? Is that chocolate?

185
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 5: He has his pistol, his firearm pistol in his hand,

186
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 5: and he is like, oh wait a minute.

187
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 2: Does this serious double take? Oh there's a close up

188
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 2: of it. Broke his neck. I'm gonna remove that close.

189
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: Let me sneak my hand under the clothes briefly and

190
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 1: grab me a little flyer.

191
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 2: That is funny.

192
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: Wow, well, I am intrigued the legalities here. It was

193
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 1: a civil suit, so he broke no laws, so its

194
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: then entirely this was out of line and hurt my

195
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: feelings and made me suffer.

196
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 2: So therefore, oh.

197
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so there are no laws involved per se.

198
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: Really one of them flipped off his camera. Sounds like

199
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: I'll have to take mister Foreman's word for it. He's

200
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: wearing a pot leaf decorated suit of multi colors in

201
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: the video, jack and sunglasses though he is indoors.

202
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 2: Od though he is not being blinded by the sun.

203
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: Oh my god, the cop really features in the video.

204
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 2: Oh my golly.

205
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: Yes, he does look like Peter Griffin. Oh there's a

206
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: caption over him.

207
00:11:54,880 --> 00:12:00,000

208
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:06,880

209
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 4: started sending the cop pound cakes.

210
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: Oh that's the hundreds of them.

Speaker 2: Always. Well, I guess that's it.
