This is exactly right.
Another podcast from some SNL late night comedy guy. Not quite. On Humor Me with Robert Smigel and Friends, me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier. This week, my guests, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer Streeter Seidel, help an acapella band with their between songs banter. Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for banter. Listen to Humor Me with Robert Smigel and friends on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On the Look Back At It podcast.
1979, that was a big moment for me. 84 was big to me. I'm Sam J. And I'm Alex English.
Each episode, we pick a year, unpack what went down, and try to make sense of how we survived it. With our friends, fellow comedians, and favorite authors. Like Mark Lamont Hill on the 80s.
It was a wild year. I don't think there's a more important year for black people.
Listen to Look Back at It on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Your 20s can be so exciting, but they can also be really overwhelming, confusing, and honestly, just kind of lonely. May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and the psychology of your 20s is breaking down the science behind the biggest roadblocks we face. I was six years into my career, the 80-hour weeks and just the first one in, the last one out, and I ended up burning out.
There was a large chunk of my 20s that I was just so wanting to be out of that phase, out of my skin, and I just really regret not living in the present more.
You don't need to have everything figured out right now. You just need to understand yourself a little bit better. Listen to The Psychology of Your 20s on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Okay, so much has come out regarding Sean Diddy Combs since we originally released this episode back in January of 2025. In October of 25, Diddy was sentenced to over four years in federal prison after being convicted of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, so convicted for violating the Mann Act. He was acquitted on racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking by force, fraud, and coercion. Now, most of what you're going to hear in this episode comes from the civil lawsuit that was filed against Sean Combs by Cassie Ventura and that was settled out of court for $20 million in 2023.
Other indictments, like the one from Rodney Lilrod-Jones and the federal indictment against Combs, were used along with the Ventura indictment as research for this episode. So what you're about to hear at the beginning of this episode is a note from me on where the case was at the time that we put this story together, along with a little bit more context on how we put the story together.
All right, I hope you guys dig it. Sean Diddy Combs, part two. This episode contains content that may be disturbing to some listeners. Please check the show notes for more information.
Disgraceland is a production of Double Elvis. On September 16th, 2024, federal authorities charged Sean Diddy Combs with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation to engage in prostitution. Combs pleaded not guilty to all these charges and is currently, at the time of this recording, behind bars awaiting trial. These federal charges were preceded by a lawsuit brought against Combs in November of 2023 by his former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. The Ventura lawsuit alleged sexual assault and physical abuse charges as well. Combs settled this lawsuit within days, setting off a wave of similar lawsuits from different victims, male and female, alleging abuse. Combs denies all of these allegations.
The horrific details in this episode are not imagined or manufactured by the author. They are ripped directly from the pages of the federal indictment as well as from the original Ventura indictment. Again, all charges denied by Sean Combs. The federal allegations will be litigated in court sometime in 2025. Until then, this is the story of Sean Combs, according to some of his alleged victims and biographers.
