Welcome to The TMZ Podcast. I'm here with Tony. What's up, Tony?

**Tony** (0:42)
What's up, Deven?

**Deven** (0:42)
What's going on? It's been a while since we've gotten together.

**Tony** (0:46)
Yeah, I'm bringing the good vibes.

**Deven** (0:47)
Yes. Where the hell is Branson?

**Tony** (0:49)
He's out today and we got a lot of people out today, but we're making it work as we always do.

**Deven** (0:55)
So, Diddy has had his prison release date change yet again, so we will get into that.

**Tony** (1:03)
I have so many questions.

**Deven** (1:05)
I think we all do, and I don't really totally understand how release dates work.

**Tony** (1:09)
Me neither.

**Deven** (1:10)
It seems like you do bad things, it goes up. I don't know. We'll get into it.
Ariana Grande sparking some possible marriage rumors. She's changing lyrics to her songs and doing what Ariana does, and also, I guess she's not going to be taking the break from the spotlight that we thought when she announced like, hey, after this tour, I'm going away for a while.

**Tony** (1:32)
She's got a new movie coming out. It seems like she's going to...

**Deven** (1:34)
She's got some responsibility.

**Tony** (1:35)
Yeah.

**Deven** (1:36)
And then finally, I haven't watched it yet. I've heard a lot about it. I'm looking forward to watching it.

**Tony** (1:41)
This is straight out of a movie, this video we're going to show you.

**Deven** (1:43)
Video out of San Fran of a guy digging through a garbage can. That's not the shocking part. The shocking part is he gets apparently loaded into a garbage truck.

**Tony** (1:53)
That's crazy.

**Deven** (1:53)
Which is probably everyone's worst fear.

**Tony** (1:56)
Yes.

**Deven** (1:57)
Okay, so Diddy, his release date has been moved up again. So basically how it works, you can log in to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Anyone in there, you can look them up by name or inmate number and it will tell you what location they're at when their release date is. Did that this morning, release date, February 5th. So previously it was the 20th, so it's 15 days up.

**Tony** (2:23)
So I've been so confused because it's changed so many times since he's got-

**Deven** (2:28)
Well, originally set for June.

**Tony** (2:30)
Right, and then it got moved up to January, then back to February, and then moved up even earlier to February.

**Deven** (2:36)
So I don't know if it's just like an honor system or how it works like it's like, you know, like back when you're in like school, it's like, oh, I got like two green star or gold stars today. So it's like, yeah, okay, well, that counts for 14 days off. I don't know how the hell it works because he just got into a fight. He got into a fight, which I can't imagine is good conduct when you're a prisoner. And then it got put in solitary for it. Yeah, exactly. For a long time. Then it got moved back. Then it got moved forward. So I don't know if like every day, this updates based off of like what you're doing in prison. I have no idea what the hell is going on. I would imagine he's going to get out sometime around early 2028 though, as long as he doesn't do anything bad, like really bad.

**Tony** (3:17)
Do you think there's any chance it gets moved up into next year, so 2027? Let's say he continues good conduct.

**Deven** (3:24)
Again, I don't know what the hell is going on with this system and how it works, but no, because I just feel like he's such a high profile guy, and I don't think that they, clearly the judge threw the book at him for what people thought that he should get for what he was charged for.
So I think they're gonna hold him in there for his full sentence. Again, I don't know if he works, he's working at the library, I think. So it's like if you check out so many books a day, do you get a day off? Or if you're working in the cafeteria, if you clean a hundred dishes, they take 14 hours off your sentence. I don't know what goes down in there. But yeah, it's just weird. It's weird that it keeps yo-yoing up and down.
