Nothing wrong with the pussy. Nothing wrong with the pussy. Nothing wrong with the pussy. Hey, hey, hey. Welcome Back to episode 28 of Something Wrong with the Podcast. It's Julian again, reporting from my newer studio space. Again, I have flowers here. I've been this summer, I've been treating myself to flowers. Get one, a new. A new bouquet about every three weeks or so. It's a nice little hobby. I. I'm a man of many plants, as you can see, and I've been very vocal about. I currently have 16 plants in my apartment. I'm propagating water, propagating a snake plant right now that I'm deciding if I want to give to somebody or just add to my collection. Point is, I have a lot of greenery in my apartment, but not enough color. So this is, you know, I got some purples in here, some yellows, some different shades of green, and some just like pretty hues just to switch it up, you know. It also feels good to come home. I cut the stems, give them a little rearranging, and, you know, just take these little flute stemless glasses here and just, you know, dump them in there. Change the water once a week. Super simple. Try it out if you're, if you're not into it, if it's not for you, at least when you have people over, they can appreciate it. You know, sometimes certain things in your apartment, in your space, in your home may not be about you. Sometimes it's for others that are coming into your space and sharing that space with you. But for me, this is a big part of my, my routine before I go anywhere. That was a bit of a mini tangent. Call in at 877-557SWWP to get in contact with me, your intrusive thought therapist. I know it's been a wild, hot summer, especially here in New York. The humidity index is off the charts. I know you guys have been up to some wild stuff. Stuff's been going crazy in the city and all across the country. Give me some new stories. I need some new stuff to respond to. I would love to, honestly, to have an update from my guy that wanted to go to the beach with his ex. Well, pardon me, with his current girlfriend that he went to with his ex. Would love to hear more from him, but I know there's a lot of amazing stories out there. And even if it's just a dumb, silly question, please call in. I've been looking at the voicemails and right now I'm getting a lot of people calling but not leaving messages as if I'm going to pick it up. It's not a number that I'm going to pick up. It's just one that goes to this phone system on my laptop that just records voicemails. So please leave a voicemail. You know, have at that. It's a good time. I'm always down to connect further with everybody. I do engage if you're on the YouTube I engage in the comments quite often replying to people and occasionally I'll you know, DM as well. But yeah that obviously the voicemail is the best way to be a part of the show and get a response from me. So please continue to call in. This weekend I, this week I had to. My, my good friends Peyton and Cam from the you should know podcast were in town. They are currently on an amazing tour that is they're still in the States. They have a week off now they're back home in Dallas but then they're kicking off another leg of the tour before they eventually go on a Euro and Australian run I believe at some point. So I'm so excited for them. They're super talented. They, their, their live show is so dynamic. They have so many different characters that they play. The Dr. P is like Peyton's like sexy doctor character and then Cam plays like this sidekick gremlin looking thing with like a hunch back and like a broken arm with these wicked glasses turned up on his face. It's just they, they know their dynamic, they know what works and they hammer it and they're, they're two extremely hardworking guys and they surrounding themselves with quite an exciting cast of guys as well. I'm trying to pull up here my guy that after the show I had a little bit of a late night. Not so much drinking but we went back to their hotel because they had a quite a nice little space there in the hotel they were staying in. And the homie Cody who is the. Who's the man? Just our Arkansas bull. Young bull. Hungry. Hungry dude. Loves to work. Does the video photography like creative. He also has like a blinds business if anybody ever needs blinds down in the south. He's just a hungry dude and he just you know, goes to work. I also had my first taste of raging. Raging canes I think that's how you pronounce was cool. I, I was with a bunch of southern boys so they, they were you know, very invested in my opinion on it. We I did the, the Texas toast with the, the tender and you, you put the sauce on it, dunk it and eat it. I did the whole, you know, ritualistic thing. One step closer to owning a gun. If I'm. If I'm, you know, following the path correctly of a true Southerner. Dunking bread into a chipotle hot sauce. It seemed good food. It was cool. I was also starving, but it was quality chicken. I did go back for quite a few more chicken tenders. Not so much the. The bread there. That was a little too much of that hour of the night. Really, really fun night, though. And it's. It's. Yeah, again, it's. They're just such good guys, and I'm so happy for them. And if you're not familiar, go check out their podcast. They're very large. Pause. They have a huge audience and they. They have amassed quite a. A show and a fan base, a loyal fan base. My ears were nearly bleeding from the screaming of the row of women behind me. It was an experience, to say the least. What else went on recently? I have. I had a crazy weekend, relatively speaking. I went out with some friends, ended up really, like, getting after it on Saturday, which is pretty out of the realm of what I've been doing lately. I feel like I've been on a very, like, chill kick. And maybe it's just something I needed. Maybe it was a release that I needed. But something that did happen, which rather annoyed me, is that my necklace that I always wear that I bought for myself as a birthday present, I want to say about four or five years ago now, the clasp on it came loose while I was out, and thankfully I was able to fumble and catch the chain and pocket it. And I just brought it into the jewelry store today to get reclassed. The problem is they have to send it to Italy to do any, like, you know, hardware work on a piece of jewelry at this particular store they send to Italy. And now I have to wait anywhere from three to six weeks to get this thing back, which is quite bothersome, to be honest, because, you know, I. I hate to say, like, I'm. You know, when they say I don't have my. This. I don't know, I feel naked or like you hate. You'd hate to have a product have that level of control over you. But it truly, I mean, it's an everyday piece that I wear that in this bracelet here, which is from the same jewelry store. And anytime I'm missing one of these pieces, I feel, you know, naked. And it's tough. It's funny. Like, I. By no means should I be buying a chain or any jewelry at this current state. But I was just off the strength of not having something on my neck was soft. Looking around the store. And then even later, later today, online for potentially getting a necklace, which is insane to think that I might spend, you know, hypothetically, however much money to subsidize the fact that I lost, I didn't lose, but that I currently don't have a necklace and that I just want to be having one that shows. That's a pretty ridiculous thing that I was considering doing. I'm going to reserve my. My funds and hold on to that for at least a little longer and just get my necklace back. I need to. I need to be more responsible with. That's pretty reckless spending. Just because I had to get a class fixed doesn't mean I should shell out, you know, a lot of money on another piece. So trying to be responsible, guys. It's the summer of responsibility. Except for this past weekend, what else happened to me? I don't even know if I want to share this. I ran into somebody that. Well, I think this is kind of why my weekend went a little sideways, because I ran into somebody that is more or less in X. An X. It's an X. I don't know why I'm doing this. Beating around the bush. And it's someone that I hadn't seen since we split and it was very difficult for me to hold myself together, basically. I'll talk you through it. Why not? Story time. Let's get personal before we talk about Drake and this Central C record. I'm riding my city bike, a city bike. This. The bikes that I rent throughout the city. And I'm going up to actually the you should know show. And I see someone. I see her in the. Walking on the sidewalk and I do like a double take on the bike and I like spin around and come back and did not. I mean, I just knew my approach to this was I'm not. We're not. We live relatively close to each other. My approach is I'm not actively looking to run into her, but if I were to happen to see her, I wouldn't want to ignore that. I'd want to, like, acknowledge that and have a conversation. In this instance, though, I very much. I very easily could have just continued pedaling on, but it felt right for me to stop. So I did turned around. We're in the. I'm in the middle of the street and I just, in a fit of panic, just get off the bike and just drag it onto the sidewalk and drop it, which Comes in later because that fare does not stop. I, I don't know why. Maybe wishful thinking. I was under the impression that maybe the, the, the fair would pause because the bike was not moving for an extended period of time, that maybe that they would recognize that something had happened and stop running the meter. They ran the meter. That was the most expensive city bike ride I've ever had. So I docked, I lay the bike on the curb, and we just, we just catch up. About 45 minutes to an hour of a conversation, and it was really good. I don't know how much I want to say about this. I don't even know if I want to keep this. But I, I, it's just something I've been thinking about lately, you know, when I'll just even remove it from me, you know, when something you, you hope to happen or want to happen, which is a possibility of it happening as well on any given day. And you play that scenario time and time again in your head. Like in sports, you know, you picture when I used to do track, okay, this is what I expect to happen tomorrow. This is the goal that I have. And I'm just, I'm so much of my creative process is the visual aspect of it. Even when I play basketball, which I'm doing, if you're listening this on the day of release tonight, I picture that, like, beforehand. So, you know, I guess manifesting in a sense. And it's always funny when you're doing it with, like, when you're having those thoughts with, especially someone that you're romantic with. And you always play it so much cooler than it goes down in person. You know, I have, like, lines that I'm, you know, saying in my head or like, you know, tags or jokes. And just like, I'm so much more relaxed and cool. And then in reality, no joke, I, I slammed the bike, like, down on the, on the curb. And then I, My, my, the, my physical, my body's physical reaction was to just open up all of my pores in release. And then I just felt just sweat running down my, my chest, my underarms, just down my back as well. I mean, I went from, like, being comfortably cool even on a humid day because I was on a bike and getting a decent breeze, to just drenched, like, disgustingly wet. And then I, as one could imagine, was fumbling damn near everything that I was trying to say. Communication was quite difficult to maintain. Well, not, not necessarily. I, we, we acknowledge the awkwardness, fought that, spoke through that side of things. And then once we Got to just like the general catch up, like how you been stuff is really when it, when it flowed because, you know, like when you care about somebody you really, I genuinely care about or you know, family, friends, and you want to hear how they're doing and you know, just out of sheer curiosity and also like as a matter of habit, that's someone that I would constantly check in with and just want to hear how those things have been going since we last spoke. So I don't. Basically that following morning I had therapy and it was all I spoke about in therapy and it kind of left me more confused. I, I jokingly said to her at the end of our conversation and to my therapist, like, well, all that work that I've been doing like this, you know, running into you has basically just become a reset button. And I feel like I've devolved back to now I just, I'm at step one again. You know, it's like I got the go to jail card and monopoly and I have now I have to do all that work again to get to where not as if I was, you know, in a much better place, but I think time and space and talking and honoring these feelings in therapy and with my friends. It's really funny when all of my friends are in this sulky, I messed up with a girl or you know, everybody's in that's like vulnerable emotional state. Which is so funny because it's like quite the opposite of one expects from a group of single guys. But every guy I know that I'm like boys with most of them, not everyone, most of them right now are on some, you know, emotional roller coaster that mostly self inflicted wounds, but it's just funny. We'll meet together and it's like at least a pow wow, a power hour of sulking and emotional dumping via retelling moments from therapy. One of my friends and I actually go to the same therapist. So it's very funny to like cross reference certain things. And then our other friend that's just like, you know, also just beating himself up about life. But so is life. You know, I'm not, I'm not here to critique them nor myself. I again am just really happy that I have taken this seriously and am you know, not letting time heal this. I really want to learn and become a better version of myself, however the hell that looks. What bothers me, honestly about therapy in the, in the, I mean, I guess this is just a bigger question. A question of life in itself is like there's always that when is Enough, Enough. When do you know that you've done the very thing in which you set out to do? Like, I got to take it away from relationships and emotions, like jobs. What is when? The bar, at one point for me, when I first moved to New York was to obviously get, like, a real job, which it. Which I did. And then it. You know, when I first moved here, I lived on my best friend's couch for five months. So then, obviously, naturally, my goal was to get my own room, which I was able to do on Facebook Marketplace. I filled a room over in Ridgewood for a year. So then at one point, that was the goal, and then the next goal was like, all right, I want a real job. Got that job. Moved out of a random rooming situation, got a roommate. But at a spot in Bushwick, I was like, okay, cool. Like, this is great. But it's always funny that. I mean, I guess that's just what life is. It's always evolving. You're always setting new goals, but there's never that moment where you're like, this is it. And I guess I'm bringing it up because my friends that are having kids now, I always think about, you know, I definitely want a family. I want to have kids, but I always think about what will be enough for me to want a family. Is it a matter of finding the person I'm in love with and then committing to that journey with them, which, obviously is a big part of it, but then the second part of it, because I have friends that are in marriages or that are. They're in marriages that are married that are struggling with the. I need to have this raise or get this promotion or, you know, land this job or, we need to get out of this current apartment and then move here. There's always there can. My point is there can always be something that belabors the very thing in which you want ultimately. And what. What makes someone take that leap of faith before they even get to the part in which they've deemed to be the level of comfort, to do the very thing that they've always wanted to do. It's wordy, but it makes sense. Walk with me. That's. That's. The. That's. That's honestly been my life for. For a long time, but certainly more recently. And, yeah, I don't know. The journey continues. What can I say? I mean, it really is just like, I. You know, I'm talking about buying flowers as if this is gonna fix anything. It is aesthetically pleasing and quite. Quite a easy hobby. To accumulate. But point is, I don't know what it is that's going to get me to become the version of myself that I want. The point is I'm doing the very things that I believe will help me push to become that version of myself. But then the cruelty of life is when I hit that version of myself, there's always the next version of myself and that's always the next version of that. You're always. Life is always a version of change. And there's the stability is terrifying to me in the sense that if I'm not wanting more, if I'm not challenging myself more, I guess I shouldn't say stability, I should have said complacency. So point is, no matter what point I get to with therapy with a relationship, I will know that there's more that I'll want out of it and there's more that I want to do with the partner and person that I'm with. Let's talk music. What is a weekend in hip hop without more Drake news? Drake had his second live stream this past Friday for Iceman. He's really leaning into the live streaming culture. This one was with he released a song with Central c called which One? Which debuted at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100. I will say I'm not a hater of Central C at all. I actually loved that tape he did with Dave and I didn't, I didn't mind his solo album. I'll still occasionally listen to it in the gym. There's I think two or three or four records on there that I really like, which is a lot for an album today that you like. Point is I like the second half of this record. It's more like Passion Fruity, More life era Drake that the dance hall Jamaica. I know that's the sound that's just more palatable for me. The like harder UK drill stuff is not so much my my steez. The first half of this record, it's not bad. It's just not necessarily the the if. I mean he gave you two options. Side A, side B of this record, I just prefer side B. I'm not mad at this one. I think it kind of. It did not. I think it solidifies the theory that I've that I have spoke about with Jordan on the Last episode, episode 27 when we spoke about Drake leaning into his international demo and his international not just fans but peers as well. I think he America has left a sour taste in his mouth paws and he feels abandoned by this country. Obviously the Moniker you're not like us doesn't apply to just him being black, but also just being a countryman, an American citizen. So he is. Feels exiled and he has leaned back into his community abroad, which is very smart because so few artists have that ability to not mimic, but also, like, create sounds and cross over in all of those different avenues. Like Drake, I think he is one of the very few artists that can meet vibe with an artist of a different sound and immediately connect and find a pocket for a hit. I think that's one of his many strengths. So it's interesting. I saw the symmetry in the. The imagery of the Pinocchio character following him around. You know, I think there's a lot of basic symbolism there that one could pick apart, you know, with the. With the Pinocchio character, with. I guess these are like the lies that are chasing Drake around. And I guess maybe who's to say that could be a representation of. Of Kendrick himself, A little wooden creature, a little wooden doll. But it's. It's worth. Obviously everything Drake is doing is worth paying attention to and worth following. But I am curious as to how many streams should we. How many more streams should we expect? Are there any more singles that are coming out of this? And the biggest question of them all, obviously, is when is the album coming? I'm always here to judge Drake by the music, even though we did just judge him over the tattoo incident, which, whatever, we covered that last episode. But let's just let the music speak and continue to just be the artist that everyone knows that you are. That's kind of my stance with Drake at this point. But will this song be in my rotation? Most likely not, but I'm not. I'm not mad at it. In album news, Tyler, the creator, dropped Don't Tap the Glass, which is. I believe it was his ninth studio album. And I'm seeing a lot of. Lot of dirt being thrown on this album from the hip hop media and just general fandom online, which I'm here to. I'm here to stand up for Tyler. I'll take. I'll take his side on this. I will say the intro of the song, the intro of the album, Big Po very clearly states. It's like an instruction manual. It tells you this is an album. You need to get up, you need to shake ass, you need to stop standing in the club, you need to dance. This is a fun dance album. So he's setting the stage for this to just be like a light, loose album. Whereas if you look at his Previous work. Igor, you're looking at like a opening score that's very theatrical and not, pardon me, not Igor. Chromacopia. You're looking at an opening score that's very theatrical and daunting. And even Igor, honestly to the both of them with like big, you know, instruments room filling instruments and big room sound like kind of like a Hans Zimmer esque with like the level of strings and synths and like layers to this music, which is very tone setting where in this one it's more direct, it's. It's less, it's not. He's not leading with a crescendo of sorts. It's more like, yo, get the, get the up. Throw some ass to this. So it's very much like a call to action on this album. It spans 10 records. It's only 29 minutes. And here's my thing. He. He's in the middle of a world tour right now. Chroma Copia is selling out arenas. Tyler could damn near do. He should just be doing stadiums at this point, I would imagine. But he took some time to have a real, real quick rollout of this, put it out in the middle of a world tour for a very successful album. And he honored this album by doing one show, pop up show in Brooklyn while he was here doing like four or five nights in New York City. He ended up going off to that venue under the Cape Bridge, ripped a quick show for the fans, sold some merch, and then went back to his tour. My point is I think this album is. It is. It is a summer album and it's supposed to play as a summer album because it's ass throwing dance music. So I think this probably was spurred in a moment with Tyler speaking with his peers and his friends saying, you know, where, where is dance music? What? Nobody shakes their ass anymore. I think this is one of those projects that derives from shared experiences with your, with your peers that feel like there's a void that needs to be filled. And as an artist, Tara said, it's my responsibility to fill this void of people being too cool to move, too cool to groove. Let me put something out that gets people on their feet and throw an ass. So in the spirit of that, I think this honestly plays more as a mixtape. We've seen the amount of attention to detail in character building and world building that Tyler has for all of his other albums. And I know he has his character with the red hat and the red pants and the gold chains. Very slick rickish and. And like run DMC inspired as well, which is awesome. I love when Tyler pays homage because he always does a really great job of that with the. The Legends. But this isn't like we're not getting. The one music video we saw was actually cool, the one with LeBron and Pusha T. But we're not seeing like the visual world building that we usually see. Like the teaser that Tyler had with Chroma Copia when they're walking in the chains. And like you're seeing these like giant warehouses, sorry, these storage units that are these like vibrant green. It's very, you know, thematic, which this album is, but I think just on a lesser scale. And I understand that it's billed as an album, but I truly think it's billed out as an album because of the state of where music is. We've talked about this in great length before. Even on the old podcast mixtapes. There's no like call me if you get lost is an album. But it was obviously inspired by the DJ drama mixtapes. That in itself could be just called a mixtape. This, I think, similarly could be a mixtape. But in the spirit of getting the. Maybe the push from the major DSPs, the playlisting support, the Even down Natalie's contract at Columbia, who's to say, you know, what deal he's locked into? Why not call it an album? Because I'm sure this checks many of those boxes that he needs personally to do whatever he plans on doing next. And also it's a complete body of work. There's a synchronized sound. Tyler obviously is one to play with a lot of synths and produce quite a bit of his own music. And he really, you can tell this has his fingerprints and his original sound all over it the morning it came out. I do love the off cycle release. This came out at 6am Eastern time on a Monday, which is for those, you know, kids growing up, including myself, younger years, 90s, early 2000s babies. That's usually when music would come out was like, well, usually Tuesday. But point is, it's an early top of the week release. I actually woke up and a couple hours later was at the gym and just played this top to bottom. And I really liked it at the gym at that hour at about 8, 8:30 in the morning. Just ran it through top to bottom, actually looped it twice while I was there. I will say, and I said this briefly with Jordan when we did the complex list episode, which is very good by the way, if you haven't watched that. Jordan did a very, very good job of Coming here and being extremely honest about how they create the list, who decides who to make the list, talk through a bunch of people on the list itself and talk about what you know to expect next year as well. Which is a pretty awesome conversation. He's always welcome here. But I said on when I spoke with Jordan about this album that I don't think this is an album I'm gonna like listen to when I'm chilling at home, like in this setting. I wouldn't put it on. Maybe if I'm having friends over for like, you know, a pre game or something like that, having some drinks before we go out. Sure. But this isn't like, you know, you're at home kicking it. You know this now. Cuz I like when, if I'm playing, if I'm cleaning, I like like, you know, jazz or soul music when I'm like airing out the, the apartment, cooking or cleaning. Point is, not every album is made for every, every surrounding every experience. But it is, it is a solid piece of music. I'll probably return to it exclusively at the gym or on long bike rides. And I hope to hear some of these records out. It would be really cool to hear these out. Speaking of going out, when I was out this weekend on Saturday night with my buddies, with my, my big night out, man, every Drake song that was played got the most. And I was like a club setting, the reception Drake gets in a club. In a fit of relatively odd legal news, Glorilla was arrested in Atlanta on marijuana charges and controlled substance charges after a burglary at her own home. Stay with me here. The the arrest came amid criticism that authorities aren't focusing on the actual home, rather the actual, actual intruders. But the person that was getting robbed, she was released on a $22,000 bond. This is a wild story. Let's read her tweet about it. Crazy. My home got home invaded Saturday while I was in Indianapolis performing for the WNBA All Star game. Also congrats to her for that and the All Star Game in itself. I did watch quite a bit of it. It was, it was entertaining. It was cool to just see everybody getting their shots up and just like fucking around. I mean it's just loose, fun. Basketball looked like a good time. They did a good job that weekend. Let's continue. And instead of focusing on finding the suspects, they focus on some cannabis. Glorilla calling weed cannabis. 1 so no, I wasn't busted. 2, my house got robbed. 3 I wasn't home. Long story short, my house gets in home Invaded and I'm the only one that gets arrested. So that's t. Well, to be fair, they did say it wasn't only weed that they found. It was controlled substance as well. So who knows what else was confiscated in the car. But it is kind of crazy to be on the road in another state and you know, you're. Well, not. She was. She gets busted for. For charges. I know she's released. I hope this, this kind of blows over. The video that came out is quite, quite. I. There's always that funny thing with celebrities where they get pulled over and the cops, they're like, do you know who I am? As if that's like the get out of jail free card. I didn't. I. I believe. What. Who is it? Justin Timberlake's blacked out ass in the Hamptons. Tried to pull that like last summer when he. Right before his tour he got drunk as and he tried to pull the like, do you know who I am? And then said. I think he mumbled under his breath, this is going to ruin the tour. Which of course obviously didn't. I think it probably helped them. Any publicity is good publicity, isn't that what they say? So who knows, Maybe for Glorilla, you know, like, this is shitty story, but it could be worse. And I hope nothing of value or nothing too valuable was stolen from your home. It's pretty unfortunate. There's been a string of that people targeting artists and athletes on the. On tour or when they're playing games on the road. I watched that quarterback show on Netflix. I know this is from last season, but when Joe Burrow was playing in a game, I forget where he was. I think it was, you know, maybe Detroit or whatever the people robbed his home. He plays for the Cincinnati Bagels in, in Cincinnati. They went into his home and robbed a lot of his jewelry. They actually, they actually kind of made off on him. But they were able to track the guys down and retrieve all of his stuff back. But I've been robbed once. It's just like a really shitty feeling of just like your. Your personal space being invaded. I was living in Chicago at the time. This is when I was teaching and it was spring break. I was teaching, so I had a week off for spring break and I went to visit a friend of mine from college in across the country in San Diego. Never been first time there. Just wanted to be on a beach and just hang out with somebody that I, you know, I am good friends with. And out there for a week, I'm flying back and as soon as I land. As soon as I land, I, you know, turn my phone off airplane mode. And my phone is blowing up, like on the tarmac. I'm getting phone calls, texts are rolling in from one of my roommates. We had. There's three of us in this apartment. And the way the apartments worked in Chicago, at least where we were, there was a brownstone with a. You hear brownstone? You think it's fancy? I was paying like $800 a month. It was. It was not a very nice apartment. I was making a teacher's salary at Chicago public School. So the bottom floor was the owner's. She was her place, which she inherited from her husband when he passed. But she was probably in her 80s, this really old woman. That was grueling. She was so mean. She was actually very me. She liked me. She was. She was Lebanese. I told her I was Lebanese. And then from there she loved me for. For life, which was kind of nice because she was vicious to my other two roommates. She was really an asshole. She threatened to shoot one of my roommates, which is crazy. Over this. Over this incident and others. So anyway, I get off the plane and I call my roommate. And he had just gotten back. All of us were gone for the week. So my one roommate that had gotten to the home first, to the apartment first said, hey, I just got out the Uber. And our door, We. It was a. We had a small backyard, so the front door wasn't bothered. It was the back door, which only the back door you could go in. And there was an upstairs to our unit, which you would get in through the back, which would be. Technically, you'd get. You'd enter through our kitchen. They kicked. They busted open that back door, went upstairs, but I think we had like a window or something. They just broke and got into our. Just our unit. They didn't rob her stuff at all downstairs. So they go into our space. They. Unfortunately, my roommate that did get there first, they took a bunch of his stuff, like valuable stuff. IPad, laptop, stuff like that. The only thing they took from me was a pair of over ear Beats headphones. Like the original black giant ones with like the. The red accents, which I loved. I wore those damn near every day. But to say that that's all I lost, I was pretty fortunate. But I. I pull up, you know, to the. I just landed. I get out my Uber. Now I'm there and my roommate in the landlord are screaming at each other on the front lawn because. And I'm like playing middle man. I'm like, hey, what. What's going on? Catch me up to speed. She goes, you guys did this. And I literally had my luggage. I had my, you know, duffel bag from my trip. I was like, yo, I. I just landed. I can show you my, like, boarding information. I was like, we've been gone for a week, all of us, and my other roommate still wasn't there. I don't know what the hell you're talking about here. So I put my bags down. I didn't. She. I see the damage, see everything. And she is insistent. She looks at me and goes, well, you're good, because I can tell you just got back from the airport. But I don't trust this one. She points to my roommate, and then she threatens to shoot him. And then we take her into our. We bring her upstairs, take her into our apartment, and we're like, what of this scene makes you think we did this? Because if you looked at our apartment, it was kind of trash. Like, they threw shit all over the kitchen mess. This is the part where you kind of feel violated. They. You could tell, like, I'm a very neat person. My bed is made. I fold things. I like to come home to a clean apartment. My shit was everywhere, which was kind of gross. Like, sleeping in that apartment that night felt pretty nasty. But she was, like, trying to refuse to fix the door. She wanted to charge us for certain things, to renovate the. The actual space itself. To which we were like, hell, no. Not only is this not our fault, we're broke as shit. So, like, fuck no. Hell, no. That was a hellish year. Not so much for me, but for my other roommate that she really hated. But, yeah, point is, getting robbed is ass. Even if nothing is taken, it's just eerie knowing that somebody has set foot in your place. You don't know who they are, what. What their goal is, what, circumstantially. And you also just don't like the fact that it. You know, it. It just feels like at the end of the day, even if it is just a random occurrence, a random B and E, you still don't like the fact that it feels like someone is. Is watching you or keeping track of where you are. So in this, in the spirit of the Glorilla and Joe Burrow situation, like, it's very. They're public figures. It's very clear when they are not at their own home, which is such a sleazy thing to do to anybody. I'm not excusing this because they're, you know, rich. Celebrities, it's just a very weird thing. They always say the, like the, the biggest pieces of are people that, you know, break into homes and rob people. Because it is such a extreme violation of personal space. I am trying to stay away from more social political matters on this show. I realized I was getting too, too much into the weeds of that. I want to stick more to like the hip hop music culture stuff. Just keep things light, somewhat of an escape. Even though the front half of the show is all about me and my trauma. Not trauma, but my therapy and emotional state. Current emotional state. But it is. I'm, I'm very much monitoring the humanitarian crisis in Gaza where obviously, you know, the, the IDF has had aid available and withheld it because the way to purge a. Quickly purge a. A population is with, you know, through means of starvation and malnourishment. When you don't want to just go through with it. The way in which they've been doing it, which is like, with bombs and guns and stuff, this is the, the way in which it kind of alleviates stress from their arm. It's, it's, it's sickening. I think it kind of goes without saying. It is funny to see now Democrats finally speaking up, but still, they still feel like they have to lob in that line about, you know, if they, if the hostages were returned, if, if Hamas was able to do the things in which this could all end today. Which is like, obviously not true, but it is. I'm just monitoring very closely the turn from Democrats, particularly in local government now that Zoran is more like favorable on the ticket. I'm just, you know, very attuned to how other people are broaching that topic now. Whereas before it was all return the hostages, man, everybody will be there. Now it's very much like maybe Israel is doing a little too much. Maybe we're not convinced. Let's see how it plays out. But maybe they, maybe they should give him the food. Just. How about a bag of rice maybe? So it's just worth noting I did that. Did just remind me that I did see the Superman, the new Superman film, the James Gunn version. I excitedly. Damn, I should have started with this. I excitedly got a Regal Movie pass, which is a monthly subscription to Regal Cinemas, which basically you get your money's worth if you see more than one movie a month, which I've already done. I saw Superman. And tell you what, man, I'm not a big superhero movie guy. I'm not crazy about. I also saw online the chatter about this clearly being a political driven film that is, you know, depicting Israel and the United States relationship. The US Is just the country in it that Superman and these other superhero characters are, you know, in defense of. But then there's the two mythical countries which in this comparison would be. Would play the Middle east down to. Honestly, even the people that they cast for the. Those villagers, there's the people of Gaza, clearly are the people that are under siege. They share a border with this other country. You find out that Lex Luther is sending billions of dollars, AKA the US is sending billions of dollars to this third, this Middle Eastern country to then invade this other country for their resources and, you know, completely annihilate their people. The parallels are uncanny. It's actually insane. But even that aside, the political, socioeconomic things aside, it is a pretty damn entertaining film and I really liked it. I. I know little to nothing about that franchise. I don't even think I've seen the previous versions of Superman. I've heard mixed reviews outside of like the Christopher Reeves ones. Like the ones following that were like mid. So I kind of just tuned out because that also, that story never seemed to really evolve beyond just the one version of the story. But this one, it was, it was well, color, the coloring in this film was great and some really, really cool shots. The action was pretty well done, but it just had. I think the superhero films can get lazy because they rely so much on the action to drive the story, to drive the film itself as like the way in which musicals kind of have like a little bit of dialogue and then the big singing number and a little bit of the big singing number. This film had a lot of action, but it was really story driven, narrative driven, and there are a lot of stories in it, A lot of characters that matter down to the. The dog. Damn, I'm blanking on the. His dog, his name. Which I did see that adoptions for dogs have gone up immensely because of this film, which is pretty cool that a, you know, a fictional character, a dog in a movie can have a real life effect on the lives of other dogs that are getting adopted. That's, you know, to take a nugget of sweetness from a, From a story that is pretty heavy in the film itself. But yeah, it's. It's an entertaining film. I would recommend it. I have other films. And now would I have this movie pass. I want to see. I'm going to see the Fantastic Four again. A movie I probably wouldn't have seen otherwise. But circumstantially, now that I can with this pass. F1, Eddington. The one that I'm most excited for is Weapons, which comes out next month. That's that new scary movie that looks incredible. I'm also gonna see. Damn, what's that shit called? I'm gonna. There's a new. I know what you did last summer. I'm gonna go see. And then there's one other one that I'm blanking on, but point is, your boy's gonna be in the theaters quite often. Your boy will be on DND and taking care of me, which is quite exciting. It's. It's. It's. Especially in this New York heat and humidity. I need that ticket to just sit in some quality ac. So if you see me at the theater, say, what's up? I'll cut a hole in the bottom of my pop popcorn. We could have some fun. All right, guys, I'm gonna get out of here. Once again, a reminder, call in at 877-557-SWWP to get in contact with me, your intrusive thought therapist. I'm returning back to the music stuff, I'm happy to say. So we'll keep it light, we'll keep it funny from here. I'm also going to try to book more homies on. I really love talking to other people here, so if you have anybody you'd like to see me, you know, have here and talk with and record with, shoot me, you know, a recommendation. Even if it's with another podcast I may not be familiar with, I'm open to collaborating. So, you know, let's. Let's keep things rolling. Appreciate you guys. Love. Have a safe and stay cool this weekend. Peace.
