00:18 hello folks it's Friday and thank you for clicking and listening as I inform or entertain I don't know how many of you may remember this but last year I ran an episode about Shan Colmes AKA P Diddy and what I was trying to explain in that episode was how I was basically not understanding not even the most intense and loyal fans of Mr Colmes really didn't seem to understand the true nature and reasons for his success because say whatever you want about Sean Colmes whether you love his music hate his

01:03 music or for that matter you really don't care that much one way or the other many people simply don't realize how much he had to accomplish you just have to respect him for being a very hardworking and Savvy businessman yes ever since Mr Colmes started in the music industry in the early 90s he has indeed enjoyed a meteoric rise in both Fame and Fortune This is not only in the music industry but also in film and even in the apparel industry and still even all this does not include all his other various areas of Interest so I believe I

01:51 know what I'm talking about that in at least until the last eight years Mr Colmes has been a very very busy guy indeed yet despite all of this despite all of his Fame and all of his fortune it was planned by someone else and apparently Shan Colmes still hasn't figured that out it's very likely he still won't until it's too late I'm going to give you a very short and condensed version of not only the how and why of Mr com's it came across you know his success but when it's all

02:35 going to be over so stick around well here's something that's definitely not an icon but it's pretty cool if you're a new YouTuber or you've been doing this for a while but haven't heard of them tube budy has just about everything you need to help your channel grow and the two great things about it is first it's extremely simple and intuitive to use and second they're offering a really special sweet deal for using my Affiliated Tu buddy Link in the description below I think it's a really

03:15 sweet deal on an excellent YouTube growth service and if you're not totally happy with tu buddy you can kick my ass well not literally it's a figure of speech but I Ed two buddy and I think it's great and you have nothing to lose so give it a try you'll be glad you did now back to the show having cultural icons in this country is certainly nothing new I want to argue that what America has had as stars or cultural icons pretty solidly goes back close to a 100 years ago and most solidly had a huge influence on American Society

04:04 for the last 70 years and it's in that last 70 years in particular that I believe has really been so important the truth of the matter is that the general public does not make cultural icons it is in fact exactly the reverse cultural icons are created and allowed to thrive and exist as long long as they serve their true purpose and that true purpose in turn is to influence and control the attitudes and desires of the general public as long as a cultural icon or you know a star to put it another way is able or willing to do that everything's

04:53 fine until that icon whether it be in music film writing you name it begins to disobey or to use another old term starting to bite the hand that feeds it Sean comes started biting the hands that feed him several years ago and now whether he knows it or not his ass is in deep trouble you see this is nothing new allow me to diverge for a moment into some very interesting entertainment history that hopefully will illustrate my point The Unbelievable downfall of Rosco Fatty Arbuckle Hollywood California 1921 and Fatty Arbuckle is box office

05:46 gold he is the highest paid actor in the world making the equivalent of 13 million dollar under contract and that's in today's dollars an ARG arguably staggering and unheard of salary for an actor at the time yet by September of that same year our bookle would be completely blacklisted from Hollywood never to appear in a feature Hollywood film again the very condensed version was Arbuckle was having a party on September the 5th of 1921 at the same Francis Hotel in San Francisco an inspiring actress what

06:35 would more you know accurately be referred to today as a party girl or socialite named Virginia rap 26 was at the party her and Arbuckle were briefly in a room together she was very intoxicated she was calling out an extreme pain she was eventually removed and put in another room when her condition didn't improve she had a pre-existing medical condition by the way she was taken to the hospital but she eventually died on September the 9th a woman attending the party another woman claimed and gave the impression um that she believed Arbuckle

07:24 had raped rap and because of Arbuckle's great weight of 266 lb had ruptured her bladder causing her eventual death it was an absolute media Sensation that lasted three trials but in the end Arbuckle was completely cleared of all charges but by then it was too late the proverbial damage had been done and Arbuckle's career was over now I realized that on the surface you might be thinking what the hell does this have to do with sha Colmes what possible parallels am I trying to draw if you hung around this long you'll be

08:11 rewarded with finding out you see then as now actors and entertainers in particular often have a tendency to develop very big egos that come with their great Fame and great Fortune I feel that Sean coms is no exception what I didn't mention in that very short story concerning the downfall of Arbuckle was that he had really offended and pissed off some very prominent and important people in the business in the previous several years in Hollywood and the entertainment industry as a whole of which I speak with some

08:58 experience have long me memories say good morning and I hope you have a nice day to someone they might remember that sentiment for 10 minutes but tell someone to drop dead and go to hell they'll remember that for a lifetime there have been several occasions in the last few years where Mr Colmes has done the equivalent of exactly that telling some very big corporate movers and shap ERS to basically drop dead and go to hell and he is definitely going to pay the price in addition to the powers that be in just one case alone his numerous

09:44 inflammatory and potentially racist anti-semitic comments in an industry that has a large number of Jewish Executives and owners by the way are more than eager to make becomes aware of their displeasure of those comments and in addition from a marketing perspective due to the realities of his age he is simply far less relevant than he once was as younger audiences naturally relate and turn to entertainers closer to their own age so as he continues to lose social traction all those corporate endorsements quickly begin to dry up

10:36 already several have I have watched this happen time and time again I'm not going to say that Mr Colmes is going to be broke tomorrow but what I am saying is that it's entirely possible if not likely that it could happen within two to five years just mark my words I don't want to be misunderstood I don't want to see anyone destitute not even an obnoxious Primadonna like Shan Colmes but if he doesn't start choosing his words very carefully and make some serious apologies very quickly I feel pretty

11:23 certain about his fate regardless there is one thing they can never take from him his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame he received in 2008 no star can ever been be taken away from an Entertainer regardless of what they may have done in their life you can check it it's gold until next Monday or Friday this is earnest wishing you peace and good things
