Brendon Geoffrion (0:08)

Hey, welcome to The TMZ Podcast. Good morning, I'm Branson Quirk.

SPEAKER_2 (0:11)

Hi, I'm Courtney. Always forget you do that. Throws me off every time.

Brendon Geoffrion (0:15)

So, well, I like to give the other person the opportunity to say hello and say their name.

SPEAKER_2 (0:21)

I always say hello.

Brendon Geoffrion (0:22)

You know?

SPEAKER_2 (0:22)

The name, really don't need.

Brendon Geoffrion (0:24)

You do. But you know what you're famous for here, right?

SPEAKER_2 (0:27)

What? Your laugh. Oh, yeah. I get that a lot.

Brendon Geoffrion (0:30)

Yeah. People comment about it. I see on Instagram.

SPEAKER_2 (0:34)

I get told Mickey Mouse or a dolphin.

Brendon Geoffrion (0:36)

Wow. Wow. I think it's a mix of anything. Well, happy Friday.

SPEAKER_2 (0:41)

Yes. I'm so excited.

Brendon Geoffrion (0:42)

Why are you excited about Friday? I feel like when you get to the age when you work nine to five, Monday to Friday, I don't know if it feels the same as like a school Friday when we were in school.

SPEAKER_3 (0:52)

It does. You know?

SPEAKER_2 (0:53)

Well, I have some friends in town, so that's like, yes.

SPEAKER_3 (0:57)

Oh, you're lucky. I know.

Brendon Geoffrion (0:58)

I wish I had friends.

SPEAKER_2 (1:00)

Just in general?

SPEAKER_3 (1:00)

Yeah.

SPEAKER_2 (1:01)

Okay. Well, maybe Diddy when he gets out and-

Brendon Geoffrion (1:04)

Yeah, Diddy.

Goodness. So, didn't see this coming. Diddy.

SPEAKER_2 (1:09)

I mean-

Brendon Geoffrion (1:11)

You saw it coming.

SPEAKER_2 (1:12)

Cause we were talking about it Deven and I yesterday that what is going to happen to Diddy when he gets out of solitary confinement, they're still not going to have any of their stuff back. So he's going to have a target on his back the entire time. So it makes sense this morning when we found out that Diddy got transferred to a new federal corrections institution in Pennsylvania.

Brendon Geoffrion (1:30)

Howard Wood.

SPEAKER_2 (1:31)

Yes. And he lost all 41 days of good behavior. So it makes sense and it doesn't really seem like they're doing it because Diddy was acting out because Diddy was already in trouble a whole bunch. This isn't his first time in solitary confinement and he's been caught before for having like other stuff in it. So it's like, why is the other reason why Diddy would get moved? And it sounds like due to his safety.

Brendon Geoffrion (1:53)

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, someone said this, I don't know if it was you or Deven or whoever. If it's a good point with me. Okay. Well, let's see.

Why be weak in prison? Take the extra days, take the extra sentence, whatever it's going to be. But you want to be respected in prison.

SPEAKER_2 (2:10)

I think Diddy is respected. I feel like Chris Koch actually kind of got pissed because Diddy was leveraging it up, but he's been there longer and he's going to be there longer after Diddy. So people have their allegiance.

Brendon Geoffrion (2:20)

It's the only way to do prison. And so, and you just talked about this yesterday. He got into a fight with the Jamaican drug lord, Dudas. Is that how you say it?

SPEAKER_2 (2:27)

Dudas is his like street name. Chris Koch is his real name. I like Chris Koch better.

Brendon Geoffrion (2:32)

Chris Koch, what a name.

SPEAKER_2 (2:33)

Yes.

Brendon Geoffrion (2:34)

Right, right. Well, is, cause I know he picked FCI Fort Dix because of the relaxed environment in the beginning. He was begging the judge to put him in Fort Dix. Now he's in Allenwood.

I don't know.

SPEAKER_2 (2:48)

I think it's gonna be harder for him cause Fort Dix has 4,000 inmates. The one that he got moved to Pennsylvania only has 1,000. So the guards will have a lot more eyes on him and can watch him more closely.

Brendon Geoffrion (2:59)

Is it still, is it maximum security?

SPEAKER_2 (3:01)

It has to be. I don't think that you get like leveled down. So especially if you lost your days of like good grace.

Brendon Geoffrion (3:08)

So he's probably going to try and do the same thing at this new place.

SPEAKER_2 (3:12)

Of course he is. Why wouldn't you?

Brendon Geoffrion (3:14)

He's like, he's probably already got eyes on people who are gonna start giving him massages.

SPEAKER_2 (3:18)

He wants to get the cell phones and he wants to look at naked photos of people. That's what he allegedly was doing on his phone. And he wants real alcohol.

Brendon Geoffrion (3:26)

But like, hey, put yourself in Diddy's shoes.

SPEAKER_2 (3:29)

No, I'm good. Don't really need to fill, don't want to fill those shoes.
