Nothing wrong with the pussy. Nothing wrong with the pussy.

Julian (0:06)

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Welcome Back to episode 40 of Something Wrong with the Podcast. It's your boy, Julian. I have quite a few topics to get into today, but I do want to start with something that made me laugh. And I'm sure if you're clipping out there, here's the moment you probably been waiting for. For a minute. I jumped into a Twitter spaces for the first time in a long time with my good friend Danny. Danny from the Stop. It's been a while. Haven't spoken to him in a bit. It was good to catch up. We talked films, we talked just about some things that were going on in the Spaces world. And it's always nice to just kind of from the periphery, stay informed on what's going on in the hip hop podcast here to the extent that I wish to look into it. So because I was talking to Danny, I was like, I haven't looked at his YouTube channel in a minute. Let me go click on what he's doing. And I did. And I saw my face on a thumbnail was my face. And then Mal next to me and Danny with his classic clickbait title, Mal Takes a Shot at Julian. Then I was like, all right, well, what is this? Let's see this one this time. It's been a while since we've had one of these come down my. My radar. So I clicked it, and it was some, like, innocuous throwaway. It's the same thing. You know how they just regurgitate the same talking points. It was something about a party or whatever, and maybe someone will get punched. Whoa. Got him. It was another joke about getting punched. And then Rory, in a very Rory way, looked him. He was like, come on. Meaning, like, why invite this? This what I'm currently doing? Like, Rory knew that if I'd come across it, I would probably address it. And I don't care to address this, like, to the extent of, like, writing another poem or any gay shit like that, but since Maul brought it up, I haven't obviously spoken to those guys, nor looked at their. Their. Their content. But I can only imagine if I'm gonna take a real swing and crack at it here in the however many episodes since I've been gone. Call it the 40 episodes or 80 episodes they do twice a week, excluding Patreon, I'm assuming, outside of more indirect, more or direct, subtle shots at me and other podcasters alike, it's probably just, like, conversations about why Drake won the battle, why Everything that men do that may challenge or not conform to Mall's perspectives is gay. And then why all women are whores. And then probably him saying something about why what Trump's doing is right, but then that actually getting edited out for good reason. And then, yeah, so, you know, in the few months I haven't been there, good to know nothing's changed, that growth is stagnant and life goes on. So don't care to dwell too much on that or the past. But you say my name, you bring me up in any way, in just. Yes. For those that did forget, I got punched in the face by Eden, who I guess DJ their holiday party. Glad to see the gangs back together. And yeah, that was it. That was the entire situation. Don't care to get too far into it. Wish everybody involved the best. What do they say? T's and peace, thoughts and prayers. In other news, in more Internet Twitter sphere, beef Tyler, the creator is under attack again because of some old tweets. Now, Tyler's been someone that's been incredibly vocal about how little he cares about the things that he said in his past and how they could affect his. You know, today it's really shitty to say something, not to excuse anything that he said, which I can get into. He's talking about doing. He has videos and photos of him doing a Nazi salute, wearing, like, a KKK robe, saying all these, like, weird, like, mean, mean things about Wale, which is like, fine, whatever. And then saying stuff like, I love R. Kelly or whatever. But to apply a 20, 25 lens onto a, like, young. We have to remember, and I'm old enough to remember the movement that Tyler started with the odd future movement in LA like this, he was like the poster child of rebellion. So in the context of everything that era, you know, 25 years ago now, is it that long ago or was my math that bad? Fifteen. No, a little. Not that long ago, but however long ago, everything he did at the time, not this isn't an excuse of the stuff that he said, but it also made sense for the energy and the way the world was working at that point in terms of Twitter was new. People were just throwing shit at the wall and just being rash and aggressive just for the sake of experimenting on this new platform where you could reach a large audience. So everything Tyler said in that context made sense at the time, but he did, you know, now we're looking at this with Gen Z kids or finding these old tweets, and here's one right now. I ain't. I Still ain't shit. Could totally become a failure. Or like, Wale tomorrow. Gotta stay focused and brainwash more people. Another tweet. But, fuck, I really hate Wale. So the fact that he's right before us makes that list makes me really bitchy and mad. Like this mad. And then, fuck, I hate Wale shit. Tyler's even said in his music, he's like, go ahead, dig up some of my old tweets. Try to cancel me. I don't care. I think Tyler's approach should be from the same playbook as Andrew Schultz's. And Scholz is very clear with, you know, his whole shtick is anybody can get it. You know, you can't cancel me when I'm an equal opportunist for opportunists, for everybody that I make fun of. I think Tyler, I think when you. When you crack and you apologize or if you extend that, like, hey, my bad. If you. If you give the. The naysayers, the deterrs, what they want, then you're showing weakness. I'm not saying Tyler also needs to double down and be like, fuck y'. All. I still mean all the shit that I said. Twitter was wild back then. Lol. I just think you just don't need to say anything. He doesn't owe anybody an explanation. And it's like, again, I led with this, but, like, these things were said so long ago. These tweets are from 2010, 2011. Like, that's. It's. It's. That's just a completely different world that America was then versus now. The best case for this is obviously for them to go away, but I don't think Tyler should resurface things. Tyler also did a lot of sketch comedy, so, like, yes, the photo of him. No, photo of a black man in a KKK robe is a good look, but was he shooting a sketch? Was this for, like, a bit thing? Like, there's just photos don't include context. There's also a photo of him going viral doing a Nazi salute and a photo of him in whiteface. Again, not excusing those acts, but understanding who Tyler was in, like, the Odd Future Wolfgang Movement was at that time. Was this for something? Was this for, like, a Vine or a Snapchat? Who knows? Could have been. Point is, like, I don't think Tyler was, like, doing this for the purpose of, you know, putting on a KKK robe to go light a torch on a black family's home, like, front lawn. That's not the kind of person that he is. So, yeah, so it's. It's. He's someone that this. I guess in the past, he's deleted some tweets, which I don't think you should do, because that is, like, in a mission of in some way, like, owning your faults, which, again, like, is this fault, is it not? But I just think you just let these things live and just for, like, just go on about your life. Tyler, I don't know. That's kind of how I feel about it. I could be wrong, but I think Tyler is a good person. This is. Now I'm putting my opinion out there. I think Tyler's a good person. And I don't think these tweets are, like, by any metric, the, like, definitive beliefs of who he is as a person, nor as an artist. I think he was just another rebellious teen kid that happened to come up in the era of Twitter, had an audience, had a following, and was very much in the world of saying ridiculous shit. I mean, look at the inspiration for his. It's not like he was only crazy on Twitter. The lyrics of his music, the music videos. He hung himself in his first music video, like, he eats a cockroach. In that same video, he talks about crashing the plane that. That blank Bob is in. Like, he's. That's his thing. And he's doing it through the lens of artistic integrity. So I don't know, maybe I have a longer rope intolerance when it comes to things like that, because this isn't like, you know, he just went out there just to say these things and. But his music sounded like Bruno Mars, you know, like, it's. It fit who he was at the time. And obviously, Tyler has since grown immensely. We've seen him grow a lot as an artist and seemingly as a person as well. Not like, this is somebody. I know it's a bit of a parasocial relationship, but I feel like he's vocal enough and communicates enough for us to understand how he's changed as a person. Anyway, in more, like, global news. Hard pivot here. The Louvre, for my Parisian listeners, was robbed. This is a pretty freaking crazy story because the heist, the word heist, I feel like, just doesn't belong in 2025 because everything's on camera. Like, where are you going to get, like, what do you do? Heist is like some shit you heard from, like, the 30s, you know? So just have a heist of this scale in one of the most, like, protected and guarded places in. In the. In the world is pretty impressive. Um, nobody was hurt. So I. You can have some fun with this one. Uh, but there were. Let's read through this. How thieves pulled off a daytime robbery heist of the French Crown Jewels in seven minutes. Guys, this was a seven minute heist. So pretty crazy. So from the, from how this worked is they took a. One of those like construction cranes, put it up to the window, use one of those like cartoonish window saws that cuts out like the perfect circle and like Tom and Jerry and it's like, like pink and then like that folds down, you go in through the loo and then you grab. They grab like a bunch of rubies jewels and obviously incredibly rare and expensive one of a kind stuff and then we're out of there. And this is, mind you, this happened at 9:30 in the morning on a Sunday, right after the museum opened. So it's not like it was closed. There were civilians and just regular museum museum goers there. There's some pretty crazy videos of people. Once the alarm. Because the alarm sounded. Once the alarm sounded off, there were people running all over the Louvre, like, you know, thinking that their lives are in danger. Luckily there weren't, but these guys, as far as we know, here's what was taken. There were eight items stolen from the cases, according to the French Minister's culture. A tiara necklace, a single earring from a sapphire set. Damn. Imagine just getting one earring, not the whole set from a sapphire set belonging to 19th century French queen Maria Amalay. And horn. Horn, tense, whatever. An emerald necklace and a pair of emerald earrings from Empress Marie Louise. A brooch and then a tiara and brooch belonging to another empress, the wife of Napoleon iii. The thieves evidently dropped the crowns of embers, which features. Damn. They dropped. Okay, they dropped this one thing, which features 13 over 1300 diamonds, over 1100 rose cut diamonds and 56 emeralds during their escape. According to authorities, it was found near the scene. If you're. Damn, they have a photo of. That is beautiful. If you're like. It was found near the scene. If you're just like a museum goer and you happen to like be in the bathroom when the robbery goes down and you walk out and you see people screaming, running and scattering. But then you see this literally over a thousand diamond items sitting on the floor. Yeah, they're probably a bunch of cameras there. But like, would the thought of just scooping that up come. It would for me, I will say, like, I not like, ooh, I'm gonna take this and steal it. But I mean, you gotta. You. If you see that? That has to cross your mind. Like, yo, what if I, what if I just like put this in my pocket? Or like my daughter just happened to happen to pick this up and she had it on her, her head, her hair. The world. The museum, which houses world famous art from Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, is currently closed. Remain closed on Monday. Remember, this is today as I'm recording as this happened. Visitors who had booked tickets will be refunded. So it looks like they're obviously taking this seriously and gonna close down. This is pretty crazy because like this is a string of robberies that have been happening. Last month, thieves used a blowtorch and grinder and stole about 700,000 worth of. $700,000 from the worth of gold from the Museum of Natural History in Paris. Earlier the same month, two porcelain dishes and a vase worth a value of about 11 million were stolen from another museum. And earlier this month at a separate museum, we're in our fourth museum now, this was robbed twice in a three day span. This other museum, the Louvre, which hosts about 33,000 objects, has long been a target of thieves. The most famous Louvre theft happened, this is my point, happened in 1911 when the Mona Lisa was stolen by an Italian decorator. It was recovered two years later in Florence, Italy, where the gentleman that stole it was arrested. More recently, in 1976, masked thieves entered through the same window used in Sunday's attack. Interesting. These guys did their research to steal a 19th century jeweled sword which belonged to King Charles the 10th. It was never recovered. That's got to be a sick family heirloom. Look, I'm not like pro steel shit or like pro, you know, but like, if you're going to target places, I know there's like history to these things, but if you're going to do it, it's like this is, there's, it's high risk, high reward. So if you're willing to play ball and you make it out, then like, congrats, like, and also like, who in Paris is really like, damn, they got King Charles the 10th jeweled sword. King Charles probably a fucking perv. Like, he probably diddled kids and like use that sword to do some nasty things. Like, none of these people are good people. Also, like, I understand you need these things to preserve history and tell the story of history. There's 33,000 items in there. One little bedazzled sword that's going to some bloke in the countryside of England, like, let him have it. Nobody gets hurt as long as nobody gets hurt. Let me establish that first. Let me get ahead of this. If no one gets hurt in the heist goes well, like I am controversial take. Well, this actually leads into. I wasn't going to bring this up, but I saw the movie Roofman, so I was going to say I feel like I'm pro bank robbery as long as nobody gets hurt. And this is why I bring up this movie Roofman, which I didn't know the premise of. I thought it was gonna be like a comedy based on the. The photo. It's Channing Tatum stars in it alongside Penelope. Not Penelope Cruz. Jesus Christ. What's her name? Oh, that's gonna bother me. Oof. Let me look this up. Roofman cast. It's what's her face? Kirsten Dunst. Jesus, I butchered that. Kirsten Dunst. Peter Dinklage is also in it, and Lakeith Stanfield's in it as well. There's a few other characters, guys in here that are great. Jimmy O. Yang's a great comedian. He plays, like, a very minor role. The point is, Roofman is a story about this guy from, like, 2002 or 2004, like, early, early 2000s, post 911 in some, like, rural part of the country. And he was a thief. Like, a famous, notorious thief. He broke into a lot of McDonald's, Burger Kings, fast food restaurants, chains. And if you're listening, I'm not gonna spoil the movies. You can. It's also a real story, so you can also just look it up too, if you care. But he would go in through the roof. He'd cut like, these gentlemen. While he was more blunt with it. He'd take a hammer or like a, you know, yield something and just bang in through the roof, fall in like, a pretty hard drop, and then get there while, like, the employees were opening in the morning. So in the opening scene, he breaks into McDonald's through the roof, sees a few employees, and this is what the gentleman did in real life. He would see them and say, hey, look, like I'm not here to hurt you. I. He'd always wear this ski mask. Like, I don't want to have any harm done. I don't want anybody to be having any, like, trauma. He zip tied her hands, put them in the cooler in the freezer. And he was so nice that I did. I thought this. They may have embellished for the film. But this also happened in real life, though, the one he asked the people, because he puts them in the cooler. He asked the McDonald's workers to get their jackets because they're going in somewhere cold. The manager didn't have a jacket. He takes the jacket off his back, gives it to the manager and puts him in the cooler and shuts the door, which is something he did in real life. Then he goes, grabs the money, go. Goes on to the next place. This was his routine. So he did it for quite a while and then eventually got caught, gets locked up again, not spoiling anything. This is literally a real story. And then he escapes prison. And then this is like when the movie really starts. Because he's living on the run now. He's not like a freedman. He's living on the run. And he ends up living inside a Toys R Us. It's pretty cool how he managed and survived for such a long time in there and then actually falls in love. And it's a pretty great story. But my point is, the man, what he did wasn't good. I'm not excusing, robbing. I'm not excusing the. You know, that defiant of, like, an act. But he was targeting major businesses like these are. It's a McDonald's. It's like Walmart. Like, he. He also really didn't want anybody to get hurt. He was a really friendly guy. Like, his intentions. He had. He. They said the Lakeith's character who plays like the more hardened criminal is like, you're too emotional. Like, you. You have the brain of a brilliant thief, but you have the heart of someone that cares far too much about, like, the. The crime itself, about the people that are involved with the crime. He's not a cold person. He's a really sweet and nice guy. Fascinating story. Actually a pretty good film as well. Roofman, if it's currently in theaters. Go check that out. Let's talk about roofs in America. American roofs. Ones that'll never break. Psych. Wait a minute. Because currently Trump is demolishing the White House. Well, not the full House, but a pretty significant part of the White House to build a $250 million ballroom funded by, get this, Amazon, Lockheed Martin, and Palantir. Thank you, Israel. All during the government shutdown. And as he covers the Epstein files, of course, naturally, this. Yeah, this really does sum up America. We're in the midst of a government shutdown where. Let's start breaking ground on a $250 million project on one of the most historic buildings in the country. Let's just rip down a pretty significant portion of it to build a fucking ballroom. And then again, just to bury the very Things in which we should be talking about and these stories that need to be taken care of and the information that people are owed. So it's cool to see our government taxpaying money go to a war. That ceasefire has now since been broken. Duh, no shit. Guess who broke it. And then also, why not? While we're at it, let's just put in, you know, a quarter billion dollars into a fucking ballroom that's probably going to be covered in gaudy gold and glitter. Really cool. I love the state of this country. We're heading in a really positive direction, guys. To make the country great, you have to tear it down. So this is the. We're in the process of flattening our White House, the physical home that represents the country. We're in the process of flattening our freedoms. We're in the process of flattening and demolishing our amendments. We're in the process of flattishing and demolishing our financial freedom. So good. Like, you need like any. Ask any architect, ask any civil engineer. You need a sturdy foundation to then build up. How will we build this beautiful ballroom? If. If you could afford eggs, this ballroom wouldn't be possible. Pick one. A ballroom or groceries for your kids. Don't be selfish. This is a democracy. Everybody makes sacrifices. And when I say everybody, you make all the sacrifices because Daddy needs a new ballroom. Fuck putting your kids into a summer camp ballroom. We need gold toilets everywhere. So, you know, things are great. Things are going really on the up and up in this country. And we're so lucky to call this place home. And in the shutdown is. This is. It's all the Democrats fault. They'll never. They never see the bigger picture. Incredibly selfish group of people. And I hope Trump wins again. And I think I hit all my talking points. All right, let's continue another movie I saw Good Fortune. Good Fortune is such a fun, fun little movie. I think it's good. It's original script. It's a comedy script. Aziz Ansari is back. It has Aziz as the director and star. Seth Rogen is in it. Keanu Reeves, Kiki Palmer is also in it. Really cute concept of the Keanu plays this really shitty angel. He's the angel of texting and driving. And he intervenes too much into the lives of Aziz Ansari and Seth Rogen. Hilarity ensues. Aziz is like a shitty delivery driver. It's really cool. Quite an accurate cultural commentary on like the difficulties of surviving. Kind of what I was alluding to with the the ballroom and the whole. That whole bit. But how nearly impossible it is for someone to just live in. In not even live comfortably. Just live in this country working multiple jobs. So it's a cute, cute film. Go check it out. It's currently in theaters. I saw it when I see it. If you're listening to this I saw two nights ago, I'm back in my movie bag. There's a bunch of Halloween content that I can't wait to see. Y' all know I'm a Halloween junkie, so I will be in the in and out of the theaters. Good boy. I want to see. That's the dog one. And then there's like a few others as well. I'm just blanking on the names. Weapons is still movie of the year. Gonna remind you of that. What else is going on? We have a few things that I want to cover. Knicks Cavs season opener is this week on the 22nd. If you're listening to this on day of release, the game is tomorrow on Wednesday. Let's go Knicks. First of many, we are the favorite in the east, as we should be. And I'm, I'm super excited to go to some games this year and cheer my guys on. And my prediction is we win the east, but we go to the finals and probably get clapped. That's. But you know what? I'll take it. I just want. It's going to be an exciting year and I'm so happy to, to be in the city during this point. During this part. I do want to end my episode with another, like, peaceful reminder to lean into your community and those that you love and stay out of the frivolous nonsense online. I know I began this episode with reacting to some frivolous nonsense online and I'm sure those of which that wanted to see that part are not going to stay around for this part of the episode. But let's close the loop on that. No love lost on my end. I truly, when I say I do not care nor pay attention to anything that's going on over there generally in that podcast sphere, I do mean it. I am in a much happier place. I actually went on a really long walk with a friend recently and she was telling me about she just left a really lucrative job and she was explaining to me that she's for the first time in her life has these like different levels of anxiety and like existential dread because she just doesn't know what her purpose is anymore beyond what her defined purpose was at this very successful and large tech conglomerate so we just walked and talked about the ebbs and flows of life. And I said to her something that I believe resonated at least she said that it was a good point that my therapist has said to me when I was really going through some stuff earlier this year, not that long ago. And I was telling my therapist that with anger, certain emotions, mainly anger and things of that nature, I tend to like suppress it or drive it down. And he's saying you can't just focus on the positive emotions you need to give. You need to feel all your emotions. They all deserve to have their moments when warranted. Like you shouldn't mask your anger or your sadness or whatever. You should live in it and feel it. And that's basically what I said to her. I was like, you're living in this period of angst and existential dread and you're looking for what you think the future will look like and how you intend the future to end. And then also the things in which you loved about the past and you're clinging onto those memories. Try your best to live in this things as uncomfortable as it is. Because again life is more often than not uncomfortable. But when it's uncomfortable you want to escape that uncomfort and you reach for the future or the past to escape that or drugs or substances, whatever what have you. But live in that, live in that discomfort. Discover what it is about that moment that makes you feel that way and then own it, like honor it. It's not gonna feel good. It shouldn't feel good. For my people that listen, that work out a lot or are learning a new skill, the. That's the process that hurts the most. You don't you. When you, when you're lifting, you're tearing muscle, it's. It's fucking hurts. It's supposed to hurt. Keep going. Finish the set, finish the rep. Don't give up. Like there is so much beauty in the uncomfort. And through that uncomfort comes the. The correct course timing wise and also the correct version of yourself. Blossoms. Don't cast a version of yourself that you think other people want you to be or you've convinced yourself that, that you're gonna. I don't know, like I, I can, I can go on and on and on, but just be intentional with and be honest with yourself and don't escape those uncomfortable moments with yourself. That's my tidbit. Lean into your community. Talk to people. Stop doom scrolling my phone time has gone down over the last few weeks. It's been great I've been getting so many steps and I've been walking. I love the fall. I'm outside, I'm in a flannel. I mean, I'm cozy. Boys, you know, it's. It's just get outside and just turn this off and just go get a cortado. I'm obsessed with cortados. If you're a coffee drinker, I have old man taste buds. I love bitterness. Cortado is half equal parts espresso and milk and it is just the right amount. It's right to the point and it's just. Just beautiful. It's. It's just got the little. It just rounds off the espresso a little bit and it gives it a little buffer, but it's. It. You still get the. The real grit of the espresso and the earthiness of it. Yeah. So anyway, that being said, I love you all. Thank you so much, everybody. We made it to episode 40. This is. This is incredible and I can't thank you enough. If you've been looking at my socials, I've been posting a ton more, which I'll talk about how that's been happening another time. But until then, I love you all and have a great week. Bye. Bye.
