Always. Honestly, this whole case has been filled with highs and lows for both sides. As we record this on Wednesday, it is March 26th. We're 40 days until jury selection begins on May 5th and 47 days until the trial itself begins with those opening statements. So it's fair to say that things are really heating up for the defense and the prosecution.

As ever, it is important to say that Diddy has vehemently denied all allegations made in all recent lawsuits filed against him. And he's also denied all federal charges filed against him last year. Like everyone else in the legal system, he remains innocent until he's been proven guilty.

Well, usually we give our listeners a weekly roundup of everything that's gone down. But we kind of figured this week that we just talk through it with you and get your take on what's been going on. One of them being Little Rod's Rico dismissal. What can you tell us about any of that?

I want to switch gears a little here to that phone call between Diddy and Kanye. Now that was absolutely incredible. I couldn't believe that we were hearing Diddy's voice on the other line from jail. He was telling Kanye that people are out to get him. What do you make of that? Is this something that's normal to jailhouse phone calls?

Sources did claim that Diddy had no idea that the phone call was being recorded. So I do want to get that out there. But you said that it's illegal. Would that be on Kanye or on Diddy or on both of them?

David, I actually specifically remember that you called this an attorney's wet dream because of how much money they could potentially make from this case. So yeah, if they're not getting that payday, I can totally imagine.

It's a nightmare. Exactly. Okay. And then the second reason they could potentially withdraw.

I do wonder if, and I feel like a lot of attorneys probably don't want to admit this, but if they look at this case and they're just like, there's no way we're winning this. So you might as well just back out before trial or, you know, maybe to avoid embarrassment. I don't know. Is that something that happens?
