Nothing wrong with the pussy. Nothing wrong with the pussy. What's going on? Stunner shades. Yeah, I'm in my, my indoor outdoor shade era. I think I like these. Damn. Why does it look so dark? I look dark. I feel like it's much lighter. Whatever. I like these pearl shades. These are sick. I'm a big fan of the. The rose tinted lenses, as they say. Let me see if we can do a little. If you can see from my view, I don't know, just kind of puts a little flare on the. On the world. Makes look pretty. I like it. Been wearing these a lot lately. They're from a store locally here. I don't know if. I mean, I'm sure there are other cities, but it's called Aquila, Aki Ala, Akilia, Akilah. I don't know. They're great. I love these. Kalia. Yeah. I thought we were all hungover today. I wasn't in the best of shape earlier. I had a late night. I took some. A little bit of shroomies with some homies yesterday and just like, had a vibey day. It was actually beautiful outside. Sat on my fire escape for a bit and just, like, listen to music, like, laughed and just kicked. It was a really, really fun day, but ended up, you know, going out, hitting a bar. Made it. Made my way onto a little club. Got a little clubby last night. Had a late night. But it was great. It was a great night. I had a fantastic time. Not hungover, but, like, just lethargic today. It was just like my body was tired. Like I was just at the, the point of, you know, when you. Just when your body is ready to shut down and you just, you're. You're fighting the urge to, to go to sleep. I feel like that's right. I was very comfortable last night. I actually wore these shades out last night. And I had a really nice, like a thin hoodie. So I was like, full, like, you know, papa bear mode. Like, hoodie up, sunglasses on, like, just zoned out in my own little world. It was very, very fun. What happened to Smokey Robinson? Oh, damn. I have not seen that. I. I legit, have not been on my phone all day, so I. I don't know what's going on in the culture. What did he do? Raped somebody? Well, I can't say that. I don't want to put that on his jacket. Let me see. Smokey Robinson. Oh, here we go. Smokey Robinson is being sued by. I mean, could have called this sued by four former Housekeepers who alleged that he reportedly sexually assaulted them and graped them during their employment. I mean, I don't. I don't know, Smokey. I don't know much about that case, but, like, you know, there's patterns with people in positions of power, and you leverage your power at all costs. Sometimes it's not enough that this poor woman is trying to feed her family and make a living for herself. Sometimes you just got to take it a step further. Remember when he put out that album Gasms, two years ago? That was a smoke. I mean, look, man, you can kind of. The proof is in the. The history. Like, you can kind of see some. Some. Some headlines aren't surprising. They're unfortunate. I mean, it's. It's unfortunate for the women. Again, like, pending all this being true, it's unfortunate. There's, like, real women that are, you know, had to experience that, but it's. It's. It sucks. But, you know, that's. This is quite common. Unfortunately, I've never listened to Gasms, nor was I planning on listening to it. So it's not like Smokey's Robinson's music was big in my rotation at all. So I'll just go about living my life and pretending Smokey doesn't exist, because that's how it's been for quite a bit. For me personally, something I have been listening to a lot lately, and I'm very excited to share this with you guys. I've been in a very heavy blues kick lately for a multitude of reasons, but also, I don't know, I just love a, like, wet guitar. I love just like, when a song sounds like Mother Nature. And I. I've been listening to Ro. The. The name of the album, the name of the group is called the Robert Cray. That's C R A Y, the Robert Cray Band. And the album is called Nothing But Love. And the song that I have had on a loop is called I'm Done Crying. And Mamma Mia, it bangs. I mean, I would. I can't play it for copyright reasons, actually. H. I just don't want to because then I'll have to edit it and cut it. And I'm trying to do as less editing as possible, but look it up. I don't know him personally. There's no, like, you know, incentive for me to plug this guy. But Nothing But Loves the name of the album. I'm Done Crying is the song that I've been listening to religiously. The freaking album cover in itself is hard. I don't Know if you can see it. Damn. Whatever. It's him. Standing in front of an old. Looks like a Thunderbird with a. Just a sick. Just bass in his hand. It's pretty sick. Great music. Love the blues. All right. What else is going on? That was good. Clay. What up, bro? When are you back in New York? Celtics and seven. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Everybody. Clay. Clay. My good, dear friend from Love Is Blind and the. Our jet ski home. I saw the. The new. The new toys you got down there. I really got to pull up this summer, man. I gotta get on the lake. Yeah, 33 and 8 on the road. Yeah, that's. They're the. Thank you. But that's the Celtics road record this year. It's historic. I mean, it's insane that things have been able to get done on the road. Justin's asked me, how have I been. I've been good, honestly. I'm in a good groove. I was in the process of thinking about moving, and I. And I told my apartment I'd go on a month to month, and then I've since decided to resign. It's actually. This is a funny story. I was looking at a couple apartments, and Boz was in town, and I happened to have a showing at an apartment in Brooklyn, and we. We had some time to kill. We had like a dinner or something, or Bob's. I think Boss was going to the studio to lay a verse. That's what it was. So we had some time to kill for that Absol song that just came out. Yeah, it's pretty sick. So we go. We go into Brooklyn together. We got to the apartment a little early, so we're like, all right, whatever. Let's go to the bar. We'll get a little aperol spritz, catch up, hang out. So we're hanging, and then we go into the apartment. Apartment's beautiful. It's a great, great space. It's got everything I want. The finishes, all that. The. The laundry dryer. It's got a gym in the bill. It's beautiful. It's like. It would be like an adult move in terms of, like, amenities. And then we left, and he was like, do you really need to move, bro? And I'm like, what do you mean? He's like, you know, your spot's been like the hub and, like, the bleep. The area that I live in. I'm just not gonna say it, even though I feel like most people know. He's like, it's so, like, in the mix, and, like, you know, we, we always, you know, pull up and it's just become like a part of our, our life in terms of like, you know, our social flow. My apartment's become like a hangout, which I love. I love hosting, I love having people over. I just love being like, yo, I'm outside and I'll just come down and pull up, whatever. I love that. So it was more about, you know, if you're not living in New York, and if you don't know, New York, like, neighborhood is everything. So while this other apartment had, you know, an elevator, a gym, all these amenities and all this, it was just more like in the cut. Whereas where I currently live is just more lively. So then Boz was also like, hey, bro, outside of just like the vibe in general, like, of, have you really broken down the cost of what this would look like to move? And I was like, to be honest, man, I'm not financially. I don't do stuff like that, so I really haven't. And he was. And we're in, at this point, we're in the Uber on the way back into, into Manhattan, going back to, to my apartment. And he was like, well, let's like crunch numbers, which is hilarious. That boss has become like my financial advisor. And he goes through. He's like, we're like, okay, so like, obviously you're moving, you're gonna have to pay a month up front broker's fee, which are still a thing at the time when I was looking. I think they're done in June, so they're still currently a thing, but they're getting rid of them in June, which was an absurd amount of money because brokers fees like 10 or 15% of the total rent. So, like say, you know, I don't know if you're paying like 35 grand a year in rent. 10, 15 of that is just up front taken out. Like in addition to you paying that. That's not taken from the total 35. It's just on top of that. And that just goes to the broker for handing you a damn key. Something you really don't need their involvement with at all. But I get it. Respect the hustle, respect the game. So we did all the numbers, we crunched everything. And like, even before I would have had to hire movers because I'm at that phase of my life. I'm not physically moving anything anymore. I think we were at about 10 to 12,000 out of pocket. And then, and then he said, can you do that? And I, I physically, I laughed. I said, no. So Then I basically was like, you know what? I'm gonna go home. When we get out the zoober, I'll go back to my apartment. I'm gonna email my, my current managing group and just be like, you know what? I've looked around. I'm not in the ready to move mode. So. So I've made a compromise with myself and what I'm going to do is update my coffee table, my couch, and my rug in the living room. Start there, put a little bit of money out on that, like get some nicer things, elevate my living experience. But that, you know, will be significantly less than me spending, you know, anywhere from 10 to 15 grand on a move and then also committing to probably paying more in rent. So really excited to, to update my apartment. I may post these pieces on Facebook, Marketplace or something just to try to get some bucks off them because they are great. The current stuff I have is fine. It's just I've had it for like, you know, for four or five years. Well, the. I've had this couch for six, seven years, eight years. But I just need to. Some things just need to be refreshed and updated. So that's where I'm at with the move. I'm staying put, but I'm going to do some home furnishing updates and, you know, stepping more into an adult space. How's that sound? Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there. I. I had a great call earlier with my mom. I feel bad because I wasn't feeling the best, so I didn't like. I, I don't know, it was just, She's. It was a lot of story times. I just lent her my ear. We talk often, though, so Mother Day is special and we need to celebrate Moms today in particular. But we talk quite a bit, so, you know, it's just another day. Another day for the Delgados. Oh, I saw Sinners. Can we be honest? Is this a safe space chat? It's. I, I gave it a. Immediately after I left the theater. I gave it a six and a half, maybe a seven. On a good day, I, I think they could have trimmed like 25, 30 minutes off that movie. And by the way, I know I'm speaking about it. I won't, I won't spoil it, but is saying it's a lot of hype. That's the thing. I feel bad because I feel like my review of it may be. My harsh criticism may be due in part because of the, the amount of adulation it got amongst Its release and by all means, love. Coogler so happy that he did the. The. He took a bet financially, it obviously paid off. Like, he's good, he's straight. Like, the cast did a great job. Everyone kind of smoked it. But, like, I just didn't. It just wasn't. I don't know the story it said. It just wasn't great. I don't know. I just wasn't crazy about it. It seemed a little tongue in cheek. I don't know. I. And the other thing that I'm trying to. I still haven't found the right way to say this without sounding like an ass or ignorant. I was saying this to a. I was talking to a couple friends about this, and at a store, my friend was buying a watch and a woman overheard my comment and she, like, snar, like, made an audible snark. She snarled at my remark. But what I said was like, I don't like that with black filmmakers. They always have to, like, there's a luxury when I think when you're just like a white guy in, like a creative field, you can just create for the sake of creating. And no one's going to look at it through, like, this political, socioeconomic lens where it's like, you don't get judged on, you know, how woke it is or, like, how, you know, historically accurate and impactful. This is. And this is push the culture forward. I don't like that. Every black creator, I mean, and I know that's like kind of Ryan Coogler's thing, but, like, he's. He's put in that category. Like, everything has to be like this grand gesture of, like, history and just like a lesson. It's like, bro, I don't like those moments in. For me, it's like, not everything has to be this, like, let's open the textbook and learn about the history of the South. It's like, can we just. Just make a movie to make a movie? That's kind of what I'm at. I don't like that black creators are always put in these positions to just look at. I was like, you got to educate. You got to educate. It's like, just. You can. You don't have to be the guy. And I know that's important with your art, and I know you want to. Every artist has a message, and every artist is. But, like. And I guess if that's the point of that film, then fine, so be it. But I don't know. Yeah, I'm just. I'm kind of over that. Stuff, to be honest, I don't. I don't know. And I could. It sounds. It's like, wow, Julian, you don't want people to learn about the history of the black culture and the struggle in the Mississippi and the whole. The Irish thing. And the whole thing. Yeah. But like, every single time, like every time someone black does anything, it has to be this whole. You know what film did a really good job of kind of making fun of that and playing into like putting that whole stereotype on its head. And. And it. I think they won an Oscar. I know they were nominated. American Fiction with Jeffrey Wright, one of my favorite actors. He. Is it Jeremy Wright or Jeffrey Wright? Doesn't matter. Anyway, he's in the Bond movies as well. Light skinned, like, black dude. He's incredible. But that movie, Issa Ray's in it as well. Issa Raisin, she kills it. But that movie does a very, very good job of taking my critic. It's like a film based on the criticisms that I just laid out, which is that level of like making. Making fun of the whole process and making fun of that. I don't know. And I feel like when it's done, like when, when movies like that are done, when people create for that, it's like, is that really for. Are we doing it for us or is that doing it? Or like, is the studio. Are you doing it for the studio? Is it performative? I don't know. I can't know. And I'm not trying to throw all this on like Cougar's jacket at all, but I don't know. There's something that just kind of rubs me the wrong way with films like that. Call me crazy. What else is going on? Smokey Robinson's a creep. I finally saw Sinners. I want to see Friendship, Friendships, the Paul Rudd, Tim Robinson film. A couple of my friends of mine saw it. They loved it. And I. I'm jealous that they. They didn't ask me to go with them. I was actually pretty up. But whatever. I'm trying to see that. That's it. Like, select theaters in New York. It's only showing in two theaters right now here. But Tim Robinson's hilarious. He's the creator of the co. Wrote and creator of the the Detroiters. It's a show on Netflix, which is hilarious and I think you should leave. Is his, like, big breakout show on Netflix that's a huge success. He used to write for SNL as well. He was a little too far out there for that. That, that job. Kalia Said I'm looking forward to finally seeing the Final Destination bloodline. I'm geeked. I should not be this excited about a Final Destination movie. I. There's something about those movies that I love. I don't know what it is. Maybe it's just because there's a nostalgia factor to it, and they just. They always find a way to make it fun, and they always find there's such like, an underlying tone of humor in those films, which I think is really, really, really done well. Whereas, like, in comparatively, Saw is something that I would say is in that same playing field. But Sawed tinkers more on the. The horror rather than, like, the. Like, the kills are always the traps. The. You know, you're gonna get the key out your. Or, like, you know, eat this kid's ass and you want to free your family. It's like, whatever the whole, like thing is. But Final Destination is so. The amount of, like, suspense in build is so masterful. And there's so much even in the trailer that they've been promoting. There's so many, like, diversions where you think, like, the. Oh, well, that. The. The. The piece of glass that fell. That's gonna be the. That's the thing. But that's just a small domino to the ultimate thing. I don't know if you saw the trailer when the guy just gets. The dad gets his head just lopped off in a. In a. The blade of a. A lawnmower there during a family cookout, which is how most white family cookouts end, by the way. A blade in the jugular. Fun fact. If you've never been to a white cookout. Let's see. Oh, you want to hear something crazy? This is funny because Netflix cracked down on a family sharing for accounts. I haven't had a Netflix account because I've also just been, like, screw them. Or, like, pinching pennies, whatever. Don't really care to subscribe to another thing. And then today, after, like, probably three or four months of not having an account or access to an account, I made a Netflix account today, and I was in the middle of watching. I watched Tim Dillon special. I wanted to watch that. I'm. I am your mother, I believe it's called. It's pretty. It was all right. I like his podcast a lot. And then I watched. I'm not done with it, but I'm watching the Kill Tony Live special right now, which is a. A beast of a production. Jesus, that's a lie. It's a long. A long show. I kind of was Dozing off a little bit. Not because it's bad, just because it's tired from the last night. But currently watching that Shane Gillis is on there doing his Trump. They have adam Ray playing Dr. Phil. It's just like they brought out all the. All the beasts. Your boy has been off the timeline. The only thing consuming my attention outside of work and stuff is the Knicks. I've been watching a whole lot of Nicks. I tried to watch a scary movie last night when I got back home from the night out, and it was not good. I think it was called Heretic or something. It was Hugh Grant. Maybe. I was just not in the right head space for it. I. Was it, like, you know, still a little trippy, but it just. I don't know. Two girls walk into a house. They're Mormons. They want to get them to convert. And then he traps him in the home. And it's like this whole thing. I don't. I didn't finish it. I don't know how it ends, but it's just like it was pacing too slow for probably what I needed at that time at that hour, and I just kind of, like, let it go. Oh, yeah. How could I forget? Thank you, Deacon. Kanye's back, unfortunately. It's weird because this is like that thing where people keep saying he. You know, damn it, he dropped a banger. It's too good of a song. It's like. I mean, lyrically, it's nothing to write home about. But I will say that beat is incredible. That. That beat is fantastic. It is nice to know that he's still a. I'm hoping. I hope he produced it, but it's. It's nice if he did that. He can still chop up some keys and produce a beautiful music. That song is getting a lot of. A lot of love from the expected crowd that you would want to hear, that you would think would want to hear that Nazis, they're. They've really taken that sound in that song and run with it. I mean, as expected. But, you know, Connie's gonna. Kanye, I think he's on the fast track to unaliving himself at some point. And then we'll, you know, look at him differently, and everybody will say he was always just a misunderstood genius, and we owe him an apology and, you know, whatever. And somehow people will blame Kim, and I'm sure his end will be tragic. I hate to say that. I don't want to put that on his jacket, but it's just. It seems like we're trending in that direction. Will I be listening to that song? No. But, yeah. I don't know. I hope it's worth it for that Dave Blunts kid that. That large man that he's been working with. I know he's been writing a lot of his stuff, so. So hopefully that. That well doesn't run dry and he can still, you know, a get paid because we know Connie historically has not paid artists, which is, you know, par for the course. Someone in that mental state. Oh, that chick on Fox News that fainted in the broadcast. That was crazy. What was she like? Slick talking Kamala and Joe Biden and. And she passed out. That anchor. The. The. The co anchor. What a dick. He was just like, all right, anyway, so let's talk about why Biden's America is the worst thing in the world. Like, bro, get out the chair and go to your co worker. You were the first person on the scene. Get up. Do something, bro. That's. There you go. That's a Fox News man right there. Just look at the woman just passed out on the floor. And if you're not her, then there's nothing you can do. She's just like, well, I can't bang her. We're on camera. We're live on air. So I guess I'll just go about the news broadcast. You can hear someone off camera there. Just go, yo. And it's like the most authentic response, which was pretty funny. But, yeah, that guy's a. I hope he. I'm sure. I'm hoping you apologize to her in private, but I feel like, you know, you did that on air. I feel like you should probably make a statement or say something on your show, probably. Oh, GTA trailer. Oh, yeah. Everybody wants to. Everybody wants to have sex with a cartoon character. Not a cartoon character. A video game character. I do love gta. I mean, that's. I grew up playing that. My first memory of GTA was always playing Vice City. My older cousin had it. He'd always take the katana and lop off people's heads on the boardwalk. That was my favorite thing to do. The bazooka was also fantastic. The rocket launcher. The tank mod was fantastic. I was big, big on the tanks. What else did we do? Yeah, I mean, the. The bike, the Miami Vice. That was such a great video game. I do want to play that. The map looks insane. That girl. I mean, it is a video game character, but she is bad. There's that one shot with the. You know, the shot. Insert shot here. Yeah, it looks. It looks like A good game. I'm trying to stick to the gaming. Oh. The only game I have been playing still is that NTA football game. I'm in the top 25, 000 globally. So if you see me, if you play me, most likely will lose. But I love, I love that game still. I need to get a new controller. My controller is doing this thing. I'm still winning. I keep, I'm still winning. But my joystick on the right stick, the left stick, pardon me, is it works fine. Like it's not stuck, but it's like naturally the player wants to run to the left. Like he'll just curve. So I have to like constantly click the stick and then like move it around. I just am not trying to go out and buy another controller right now. But it sucks that these things just kind of like whatever happened in like the early 2000s when I had a Gamecube and my brother and I would like throw that thing in a wall and it would not break and you could pick it up and play that controller. If I went home, cleaned out my parents attic, grabbed that GameCube, plugged it in, I could be up and playing and five minutes, not even controller works fine. Everything works fine. This freaking PS5, man. I. I got this thing in what, November, I think I bought it as like a pseudo birthday gift to myself. It's not even a year old. This controller is already cooked. It's done. Like it, it works, but it's not reliable. Like the. I don't throw the thing too. I'm not like a screaming, you know, white guy anger video gamer. I literally pick it up off the little charging stand that I bought for it, play it and put it back on. I don't think that thing has ever fallen on the ground. I don't think it's ever, you know, been stepped on. Like, I've. No water has been poured onto it. Nothing has happened to that controller except love and attentiveness and a mild use. And now this thing just all my guys, when I hit a, when I hit a hole in the, When I'm playing the football or like when I'm on defense, all my safeties just start running to the left. I'm like, dude, I can't. So I'm like constantly switching players. It's actually really aggravating. Now that I had. I'm saying it's really freaking annoying. I just got to get a new controller because it's gonna up my ranking too, which is really what I'm most concerned about is Keeping my, my goal. I want to break 20,000. I want. Well, the real goal is like to get obviously lows as high as possible. But I, I gotta keep playing so I can get my ranking lower and lower and lower or higher should I say? I don't know, whatever the number is. There's like hundreds of thousand players to play. I'm in the top 25, 000. I need to get better. I need to get better. And a part of that is going to be needing to get a new controller. So maybe I just got to suck it up and just get a damn controller. Yeah, my controller. Yeah, dead ass Deegan. My controller drifts. It's really obnoxious. I wish I could show you guys. It's. Oh God, it's. It's really, really unfortunate because I didn't do anything. Like I didn't. It just plays. It looks great. Whatever. Hi. Awesome lady. Thank you. I think wireless controllers are a lot more fragile than the old school ones. Oh for sure. 100. I mean the, everything like the, the convenience of technology. I mean nothing. The quality of products today is dog. Like we even down to appliances like refrigerators and ovens and toasters. Like there's stuff here like appliances here. My parents have a fridge from like 2003 and that thing is cooking. I get, I move an apartment, I get a fridge. These things go out in like you know, two years, two, three. It's like what. Why are we building products to break? I mean I get. I can understand incentive wise it's because then you need to buy another one and there's more money involved. I guess I'm just answering my own question but it really is like a insulting to the cut to customers to just continuously create semi good quality products because you know that they'll. Because if it's not even like a matter of demands like you need these things. I'm not saying this applies to the PS5 controller. I'm saying like a refrigerator or you know, a real household appliance. You just can't. You need these things to have as a home. So you're just burning money every few years because nothing lasts anymore. It sucks, man. Like I, I can go home and pull out some old, old toys or old, you know, video games or you know, a Game Boy color and all that shit'll work smooth. Maybe just need some what new double A batteries that this everything takes forever to turn on, to load, to run, to power. Like this thing is 500 gigs of storage. It's like almost done. Like how does this keep happening, but I can go on and on about that. So obnoxious. I want to get MLB the Show. I like. I love. I used to love that game. MLB the show with my current controller probably wouldn't work because all my pitches would probably just dip to the left or like I would just miss on a baseball trying to swing in it. But I still want to get the last of us. But I gotta. I gotta prioritize getting a controller. I've just been super lazy and it's the summer, so I've just been like going to. I've been eating out a lot. It's just expensive to. To be a functioning adult in the city. And I'm not complaining. I'm just saying my money, my priorities are more in the social scene at the moment than. What do you call it then, gaming in my bedroom. Can you reset a controller? I look into it. I still haven't played Last of Us. Now I want to. I'm honestly thinking about buying another PS3 so I can play Fight Night. I loved Fight Night. Fight Night's a great game. I think I have the PS3 at home. I definitely have a PS3 at home. I. To get my PS5, I had a PS4 here that I hadn't turned on or used in like three or four years and I exchanged it. So I think I. I think I actually, come to think of it, I think I got my first game or two with that exchange money. So theoretically, I really haven't put much money into the PlayStation itself. Maybe I just got to get a damn controller. History right here, guys. I finished the stick. It's the end of it. It's the end of the road. I did it. It's becoming a stat lately. I keep. I keep getting to the end of these sticks and becoming. That's how you know I'm growing up. That's how you know I'm becoming a responsible young adult. I have not lost or missed. I've misplaced plenty of chapsticks. I, I've. I've misplaced them damn near every week, but I haven't lost them. I keep finding them and I keep getting to the bitter end, which that is. A true sign of becoming an adult, guys, is keeping stuff like that and knowing where it is not at all times. Never at all times. That'd be psycho to know where everything is at all times. But knowing that in one of your many pockets or in one of your messenger bag things or something, you will always find one. Oh, new Pope. Yeah, Novograd. We Have a first American Pope. And it's. It. Trump's got to be feeling away. I know he wanted to put his hat in the ring. New pub. I mean, that's sick. Like, that was a really quick conclave. They just called it Early White, smoked it. I wonder. I would love to see how that process goes. I know. I gotta. I gotta watch that movie called Conclave. I haven't seen it, but. Yeah. I mean, it's kind of crazy seeing these old photos and old videos of the. The current Pope, like, at the 2005 World Series in Chicago, just sitting in the crowd on the south side, like in a television broadcast. Pan shot. He's just there on the phone. You know, it's. It's pretty cool. I. Again, like, I know it's a huge deal. I wish I cared more, but I don't know. It's pretty dope. My mom. My mom actually wrote me about it because she's very much involved with. That's. Let me see if I can find what she said. It's an emotional day, but I've been watching live at same. The new Pope was named and he was the first American Pope. Born in Chicago, Lived most of his life in South America, Peru, and in Europe. Very close friend of Pope Francis, he chose the name Leo XIV to follow Pope Leo XIII, the first pope of the 20th century who focused primarily on poor, the migrants, and the displaced. Isn't this funny? Like, these are the texts I get from my mom. These aren't like, this isn't Google. This isn't grok. This. This is just. My mom is just like this purest form of an encyclopedia. And then she goes on to say, he's dedicated to saving the environment, justice for migrants, the disenfranchised, and he rejects fascism. He believes LGBTQ + deserve respect, but hasn't weighed in much on marriage. Pope Francis was pro LGBTQ marriage. This Pope speaks Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese, and English and reads Latin and German just like me. And he is obviously, like I mentioned, a Villanova graduate. Pretty exciting stuff. Let's just hope he stays away from J.D. vance, because we can't just keep going through Popes every. Every month. You need to keep them safe. Something about this timing of this new Pope feels off. What's wrong with the timing? I don't know. I. I feel like in this era, these conclaves, these things just get shorter and shorter. I wonder how much of a difference in American Pope. What that means globally. I think hopefully having an American Pope, assuming he's likable and well loved. Hopefully that can change our current reputation globally because we can all be honest here. America's a bit of a. A trash baby at the moment. No one respects us, our allies bully us and we're kind of a laughingstock when it comes to a lot of stuff. So hopefully this Pope can offset the current administration's mishaps and give us a, A positive review globally because it's not looking good. Speaking of global conflict, what is it? India in Pakistan are like going at it right now and I believe they have nukes only for. They have, they have weapons of mass destruction, but like only with. Capable of reaching each other. I believe. I know Pakistan does. I don't. I forget the whole scope of that beef. But that's pretty crazy. The war torn region and they're like, they're going at it like they're fighting. Fighting. That's got to be tragic. It's awful. Yeah. Anyway, Rusty said game four tomorrow. I know, man. I, I really am trying to not do the stream and just come in here and talking about the Knicks. I know, I know. Maybe I can have you guys pick my shirt to wear tomorrow, which Nick shirt I'm gonna wear. Get ready with me. I will say this may be the first time I've put on a shirt that's not a Nick shirt in like the last two weeks. I have about like four or five that have just been like rotating happily. They're nice. Spent some money on some good quality Nick shirts. I need a good Nick's hat. That's what I, I don't have like a Nick's dad hat, which is actually quite frustrating. I have a. The Awake collab. It's a snapback, but it's. I'm not really gonna wear a snapback like that. But I want to get a nice Nick Dad's hat. If anybody knows a good one, shoot me a link. Or if you're in the gifting mood, I'll take it. But yeah, I need a Nick's dad hat. That's my, that's my priority at the moment. Preferably in black. I don't really like. That's the problem with liking sports teams. I'm not like a big fan of, of like big bold like kiddish colors. Yellow or not yellow. Pardon me. Orange and blue is just like. I'm not wearing that much. Like the two Nick shirts that I wear the most are black and obviously they have like, you know, Nick stuff on it, but the base color is black. And the other third one that I have the base Color is white. And even the Knicks hoodie I have, the base color is black. So it's like, I like that. Give me the orange as an accent. Don't make orange the whole damn thing because it's too loud. I may be stepping out tonight in a bit to just catch up with a friend, get a little bit of wine, perhaps maybe sit outside if the weather permits. I think it's beautiful outside. I want a little, little brisk walk. Today I found a new coffee shop. It's weird. I've been here for so long and I'm just now finding spots. I've so stuck in my ways when it comes to certain things. And I finally came across a new coffee shop that's like legit a half a block from me. It's great. I've been going there a lot. Fantastic macho lattes. Snapback era, right? I used to go, when I was in college was when, like, Wiz's black and yellow came out. And I used to wear a Pittsburgh Steelers snapback. Not Pittsburgh Steelers, Pittsburgh Penguins snapback hat almost every day in college. Mind you've never been to Pittsburgh. Do not give a about hockey. I like watching hockey live. I don't care about the Pittsburgh Penguins. And I would, I bent the rim, like, back. So, like, it kind of like the, this is the bill and it was like, kind of like tilted. I was obsessed with this hat. That was like, my identity for at least two years of college. With snapbacks, I had color colorways for days. That was my whole thing. Man, I loved, I loved snapbacks. I just can't do them anymore. I don't know. I also don't like the fit. The five panel fit is too bulky, it's too wide. Like, it makes your head look huge. Like, the older snapbacks were more like form fitting, I feel like. And I just, to be honest, I just love a good dad hat. I, I just love a classic, you know, cap. That's. That seems to be. I, I. Anytime I don't want to do my hair. My hair can be a bit of a process. Honestly, before I record, most days I just, I just wet it. I don't even put product in it. This is just like water. Watch it. Hold on. From whatever, you know, product was in it the night before. But I can get super lazy and just throw a hat on and then just, you know, go outside or if I'm on a zoom call, take a lot of, like, calls, you know, here, zoom or whatever. And I've said to people, I'm like, yeah, like if it looks like I just woke up, I promise I didn't. It's just. This is just how my hair. It looks when I'm at home. It just looks. It's more frizzy and, like. It's big ass curls, but it's more frizzy and, like, Afro y and kind of, you know, chaotic. A little bit of water goes a long way, kind of locks everything up. But I always feel like. And maybe it's just criticism of myself, but I always feel like I look like I just rolled out of bed when I take these calls or, like, walk around the neighborhood without doing my hair. Relationship with hair is always an interesting thing. I feel like so many people go through that, and it's not. It's such a unique experience, and there's no. There's no universal way to be comfortable with your hair. Find the right style that works for you. It's always like, I think I may have figured out what I liked with my hair, like, as recent as, like, two or three years ago. You know what I mean? This is like, it's a lifelong thing, and you kind of figure it out, but there's not really people you can talk to about it. Chris Rock made a whole fucking movie about it.
