Hey, hey, hey everybody. Welcome Back to episode 64 of Something Wrong with the Podcast. It's Julian and I am back, fresh off the US's expected exit from the World Cup. I'm gonna leave this episode with some World cup talk again to some other things, but I I really wanted to begin this because I am a a huge supporter of the global game of football and I do love it on this level. And I think the World cup truly is the most beautiful sporting event ever. And I think it's due in part because of its global reach, but also of how infrequently it happens and how it unites the world. I've been emotional for like the last three weeks, crying to clips of like the Algeria team that found its home in Lawrenceville, Kansas. And you know, the University of Kansas marching band is learning their, the songs from their country, their national anthem, and you know, restaurants are learning how to cook traditional Algerian food. And you know, albeit Algeria is no longer in the tournament. But it's moments like this that

in small communities and have lasting effects. So much so now that, you know, kids from these communities and even adults who are going to plan family vacations and trips and explore and care to learn more about other parts of the world that they may have, that they literally have never heard before, never knew existed, never cared, never cared to know about. And not out of, not out of, you know, not out of a mean spirited way, but just out of ignorance, just not being exposed to these things to, to which the World cup forces kind of immerses your community in these different cultures and it's really exciting to see that being said. Speaking of immersing ourselves into culture, Trump immersed himself as he always does. The man that of course has won the first and only FIFA Peace Prize, put himself in the middle of the World cup by basically overturning the red card. Our star player, who is American by birthright Balgon. I don't remember his first name. Here, let me get. Let me make sure I have his first name correctly. Yeah. Florin Balgon. Sorry. Balugun. Jesus Christ. Whatever. He. His mother was vacationing here. She was very pregnant with him. They said you're not safe to fly back home. He's from London. She had her baby here. Citizen by birthright. When it came time to play for the cup, politics would be whether he wasn't going to get as much playtime for England as he was here. And he also had the encouragement from his mom to play for USA because he is a US citizen. He was actually born in Brooklyn, here locally. So he's our star. He gets a red card in the Bosnia. Bosnia match, which we won 2 nil. A decent showing for us. And I'll run through our matches up till this time. And Trump makes the call. Big, big Daddy Trump makes the call. They via Var overturn the red card and he is eligible to play in the match that we just lost against Belgium. Like it, seemingly every time Trump inserts himself into sports, American sports, we saw it at the Knick. The only game the Knicks lost in the finals was the game that Trump was at. And in this case, in the knockout stages. Look, I don't. I didn't have all my eggs in us basket. But there is an added level of pressure and an added level of political fog when Trump inserts himself in something. And surely we were, you know, we couldn't finish the call. We lost this as well. So I bear the question. Is Trump the new Drake Curse? If Trump is rooting for you, if Trump is on your side, if Trump has money on you, be prepared to lose. Certainly in sports, that is in. In elections, he'll just say fraud and then just declare victory anyway. But yeah, let's run through some of these matches. I guess we'll start with today. Tonight's still. If you're listening to this, yesterday's match. Last night we looked. I mean, we looked flat. The. The first goal was an embarrassment. It was a. The horrible clear. A ball got lobbed in the air. We had three of our defenders staring at it instead of approaching attacking the ball, the Belgian player just walked right through the defense and scored an easy goal, which really set the tone throughout the whole game. We looked outmanned, outmatched. We looked at. Our players were playing in sand. I was texting some friends that are, you know, big, big footy fans. And my critiques that I was heavy on in the first half only really got Worse in the second half, we just didn't look like we wanted it. And to get embarrassed at home in that fashion is pretty sad. The final score was 4:1. The one score was a beautiful free kick that we scored, which was our first shot on goal at the time, which shrunk the lead to 2:1, which is great. We had some hope or. No, it was one to one part of me. And then they scored immediately after. But yeah, the politics of Trump and the politics of FIFA could not interfere with the inevitable, which is that the USA sucks at soccer. I couldn't help but think back on what happened Saturday night in the Mexico England game. I was rooting heavily for Mexico, but at the Azteca, undoubtedly the most difficult stadium to play in. Not just from a fan's perspective, but from an altitude perspective. That stadium sits at over 10,000ft. It's higher than Mount Everest. So you're dealing with the weather, the inclement weather as well. There was a torrential downpour right before that storm. And yes, I know the English are used to rain, but I just did three weeks in Mexico City. The rain down there is freaking different. It's like biblical cats and dogs, which is. It's honestly a sight to be seen and it happens quick. But saying all that, because even under those conditions and with the card stacked against them going into that match, England was able to come out of Mexico and England. But England was able to go into Mexico and come out there with a victory, which shows what a club in a country will do that has fight in them and actually has like that dog mentality. We got dog walked it in Seattle at a home game, you know, like it. We could not have been more cozy of a situation to just get stomped on by some fucking Belgians. Belgians. But whatever. Looking back on the US is showing in this tournament. Look, the 41 win against Parkway, I think set the bar really high from the jump. That was our first group game. Came out the gate swinging. The guys played great. That was. That really gave us, you know, more hope than we probably deserved. Australia sucks. 220 expected clean sheet is nice. You wouldn't expect them to score a goal. It was nice that they weren't able to score a goal. The Turkey game was the one in which I really saw the true colors of the US Because Turkey was playing for pride at that point. Yes, we were in. So the argument could be made that, you know, we were already in. We don't need to run our starters or we could take a break. But this is the World cup and a big part of high competitive sports is rhythm and maintaining that rhythm in that competitive spirit and the morale as far as you can extend it. So that sucked because we did lose that game against Turkey. Turkey. How do you say it now? I'm not even being disrespectful. I'm just gonna say turkey. 3, 2. That last goal that happened in stoppage time was a right after Pulisic got subbed in, he got nutmegged and they swept it from the corner into the box and got an easy goal. So great for morale. We won. We lost that game first. Only loss of the group stage heading into round of 32. Obviously I just said we beat Bosnia 2 nil. Convincing win, a good win. But again, Bosnia is not a great team. But we did what we were supposed to do. But yeah, we just got exposed against the top 10 team. This is something I feel like every World cup since I was a child. It was, why can't we. Why isn't this our sport? Why can't we crack the success of the EuroLeagues and African leagues moving forward? There is only one African team left. Shout out Morocco. They have a buzzsaw ahead of them. They're playing France next. But I know that's going to be a great game. Highly competitive and probably one of the best knockout games played.

B
Other than that, the other remaining five teams are Euro teams. But yeah, I. I had the thought. I was thinking about what makes the United States so difficult to get good at this game. And the easy answer is like, look like we don't. We don't care. But I guess the answer, the. The. I'm trying to answer why. The why for that why don't we care about this sport? Because it's not like the world, the world, the rest of the world cares. So obviously we're the outliers. You know, I think there has to be more of an examination where we as Americans, which is difficult for us to do because so Much of our outward facing marketing to the world is well, we do it this way, therefore it's right. And it not only is it right, it's just better. But I think that that's a really cheap excuse to not educate yourself or look into the way the why Jesus Christ. The way why, the way things are. Whereas we just accept them to be this way because we're told that they're this way, therefore it's our way or the highway. So why don't we care about soccer? We don't have a proper youth system. A lot of our youth sports are pay to play in that stems through, you know, in Europe, in an African league, you find a, you know, a young child that's great at soccer and they get put immediately into a system where they're actually even able to make money. But they're playing low level professionally and they're basically farm raised from a club up until they're ready to be brought up through the ranks. But here, like most things in America, youth sports is, it's not that it's not competitive, it's just that it's cost prohibitive. It's really difficult for families that have real talent to get into these systems because of how expensive these camps are and how much privilege it takes to even have access to these certain clubs, to these opportunities to play which I had like saw firsthand. You know, my brother and I were very good at basketball. We both recruited like high level AAU and then also stepping into lacrosse for certain lacrosse camps. I would see my parents really budgeting for these opportunities for my brother and I to go to. Whereas, you know, when you're there, you're seeing the other kids that are playing in these tournaments or in these are on these teams, are these more so in lacrosse are the kids that are the rich suburb kids who had their older brother play lacrosse at Harvard and thus and such is now, you know, working at JP Morgan and it's like oh, of course this is who this is for. Whereas we were the outliers in those in those camps, in those conversations, in those rooms. Competition from other sports think it's also a huge one. I did lead with this. You know, it's just not a future sport here. Obviously it is a part of the big four, the big four being basketball, football, soccer and hockey domestically. But we are losing a lot of great athletes to those other sports, other sports that athletes make way more money and are pushed into competing in more. So for that. I just think that's the way it is. I think Tournaments like the World cup and the success of the US will spark interest. How it starts in the youth, but again, you're running into the barriers that I just kind of laid out. But say you're able to get through those, then that'll raise the bar of talent, which will then also want to play domestically. Like, if we can be honest, the MLS is a pretty shitty league. It's like, you know, it's probably like C or D tier football in Europe, you know, so, like half of the. Not many of our guys can go over and play professionally in like a French league. So, you know, if half our team is playing for like the fucking New York Football Club and we're going against guys that play for psg, like, come on, it's. Get out of here. It's not even fair. It's actually rude to put them on the same pitch. The way in which American sports are also developed, we have a. We put a premiere on physicality, which is something even in tonight. Tonight's match, Belgian sat like two of their best players because they were. I don't know if weaker is the correct term, but sure, they were more frail as compared to the other brutes that they have on their bench. The us we prioritize strength over finesse. And if you're watching, even if you just look at breakdown statistically, like teams like Spain, shit, even. Even Portugal, which is mostly these European clubs, they. They pass the ball a thousand times. They. Everybody gets a touch. They're more focused on finding open spaces and creating through balls. Whereas the us, The US is more. I'm going to run through you, I'm going to hit you and you're either, yeah, you're either going to absorb this contact or you're going to fall and I'm going to continue dribbling the ball and advancing the play down the field. It's just. There is a different style of play. We. Even in basketball, a correlation that most people listening can probably even relate to is the invention of the Euro Step. What is it? What is a Euro step? The Euro Step is inherently avoiding contact while whilst keeping that momentum forward and finessing your way to the rim. Right, so soccer, same thing. American soccer, we're just going to bulldoze you, run right through your wall. Euro Soccer, that's where we get all the great footwork and snaking and finessing. Even Spanish soccer, South American soccer, like Messi, is the size of a troll, but he can snake his way through defenders like they're standing still because he knows he can't rely on his physical ability, strength, meaning strength. Rather, he has to lean on his technical ability and skill. So again, that's something that is often underdeveloped with players here in the States. Speaking of players and greats, Neymar is officially retired. He punched in that cheeky little PK at the end of the end of the match, which honestly, you know, kudos, good for him. Get one more goal. While he walked out. I saw he had some words for the, the goalie there, which is really funny, but I think. Did they play Norway yet? Holland is obviously the new star. He like this hole in my shirt. This is my favorite shirt. This is a, a relic of mine that I cherish. It's my like kick around home sleep shirt. But yeah, there's a giant hole there. Ronaldo's done. Ronaldo has retired after his sixth World Cup. What is there to say that hasn't been said about Ronaldo? Obviously one of the greatest legend. His style of play. Speaking of style of play doesn't age as well as a player like Messi's. Ronaldo was obviously more of a physical specimen than Messi was. So his game was I'm an outrun you, I'm going to out athlete you, out jump you and out beat you to the ball. While Messi's was never that. Messi was always a technical, slower guy. So his game translates better into his old age. And yes, Messi is a couple years younger than Ronaldo, but know what I'm saying, Like it's the way in which like a Chris Paul's game, he evolved from being the quickest guy on the court to really leaning on using his body and finessing his way through defenses. You have to develop, you have to, you know, change your game as you age. And Messi's style of play just better fits aging than a player like Ronaldo's style of play, which was more physical and brute. Speaking of physicality. Jesus Christ. I've been, I've been back hooping like crazy. Obviously. Look at this bruise on my arm. I mean I. And I think this is also just from aging. I used to never bruise, I swear. And this is like. That is gnarly. I mean that. Yeah. I don't know. We'll see. I gotta get that down. Yeah. Still hooping every

Subject to change every Tuesday, guys. But yeah, I think that's, that's enough World cup talk. We can, we can pivot to, to some other topics here. I saw this Lil Wayne tours going really crappy. To no surprise. He was a big topic on the old podcast. There was that one night Rory Mall and I went to the Wayne show at the Apollo and Roy and I did our best to defend the show, but it was pretty bad.
- [19:12]
A
I'll.
- [19:13]
B
I'll give them all credit on that, but Wayne is historically a shitty live performer. Not even gonna get into his politics because this isn't the conversation I'm trying to have. But I don't know what people expect. I, I think this, like, the turnover in hip hop and the legacy acts of hip hop. We're seeing a lot of these guys just like, age horribly, like, physically, and also just how they have been carrying themselves, which, honestly I think, which is what makes Jay Z such an anomaly. Obviously Jay has his two big shows coming up at. Where is he doing a Yankee Stadium, but, you know, he did the Pop Up Museum. I think Jay Z's doing a really good job of like, tapping the veins of nostalgia while also pushing the culture forward in a positive way. He's not leaning, he's not leaning too much on, like, I'm the shit, I'm the legacy man. He's more so in his music because he hasn't, you know, put out much. He hasn't put out any new music. He just did that one freestyle at the Roots picnic. But he is pushing culture forward with other initiatives, obviously being heavily involved with the super bowl halftime show, doing these museums. And I think that education is the tool that is really undervalued when it comes to these events. I know people go to these for the camera ops to see, you know, certain chains or pieces that Jay wore in music videos or relics that he's collected over time. I know these are all very photogenic, Instagramable moments, but we really should be paying attention to the value in which this brings to educating the youth in a younger generation and even giving people that grew up on Jay Z, such as myself and people even older than I am, the opportunity to experience these things and be in the room as these things for the first time, and then reliving those memories. Like, I. Again, I've spent most of this year traveling. Paris, Barcelona, and most recently, Mexico, which I've obviously talked extensively about on my show here. But in my travels, I mean, my camera roll is just full of museums, paintings, sculptures, pieces that I studied in high school and throughout college and just fell in love with independently or read a great piece in the New Yorker about these things, and to be able to see them in person, to be able to build these, you know, trees, familial trees of like, this artist actually lived in Spain at this time with this artist, and they actually became friends at this academy, and they actually had the same mentor. And this person actually used to paint while Gertrude Stein was writing her pieces. And I didn't know that they had a great friendship like that. It's just. It's a great way to connect the webs of history and see how certain things play out. So I'm really hoping that this archive that Jay Z has been able to put together really sparks other people and other collectors to display these things. I know in hip hop, there's a tendency to collect things in a spiteful way. I think Drake has made it clear, like, you know, buying up Pharrell's chains and threatening to melt them down, buying a Pusha T microphone, buying Tupac's ring and things of this nature, all for a private collection. And I'm not knocking. Look, people deserve the re. You have the funds, the means and the funds, and you want to collect these things. Amazing. Good for you, especially, you know, putting them in the hands of someone that, you know, well, we know, at least keep these items safe. But I do think that there's another part of this where the collecting is one thing, but there also needs to be a sharing in a display and an appreciation of these items, that artists should bear the responsibility of curating these things and sharing them with consumers. I mean, that this is how. This is what makes art great, is the ability for it to be preserved and for these stories to be retold over and over again. Right. This is like our version of the native people's campfires and the smoking the peace pipe and sharing tales of generations prior to our time here. I do hope that that's something that changes in the culture. And I do think, as this is my prediction, as we seek out real moments in a world that's heading towards AI slop and bullshit tech, I. There's. There's been a shift of people Seeking out reality, Real moments with real people and real things, real items. We're way past the days of thinking NFTs are cool. Those stupid fucking monkeys heads with the QR codes, bored ape, dumbass shit. But in these moments, it's up to us, the humans, to create those things, to create those moments and create those spaces, those community spaces, those third spaces is what they're known as, where people can congregate, come together and appreciate something. And I think it's really awesome. When you look at videos, I've been looking at the Jay Z stuff in particular, and you see people that are, you know, 50 years old, with their sons that are, you know, 20 or so or whatever, and then the young kids that are experiencing Jay Z for the first time, like a 12 year old seeing like, oh, I know who Drake is and I know Playboi Carti, but who's this guy and why does everybody talk about him? Why is he so important? And to be in a physical space that is well curated, that shows who this guy is and what he did for the culture. It's just like, it's a better way to consume art than just doom scrolling and like swiping like this and be like, oh, I didn't know Jay Z did that. Oh, I didn't know he owned this or put out this music. It's just you immerse yourself, it's better for your memory, it'll stick with you. It actually becomes like a core memory. And I just think it creates a better environment, a better learning environment, just a better environment.

Subject to change for people in general. That's my rant on spaces. Speaking of spaces, I have been reading a lot. My new, my latest obsession. Speaking of AI slop and tech, I've been reading a lot about. What are they called, these data centers, these AI like these, these data centers that are being built all over the country. And I'm going to do this off the dome. I don't have A screen in front of me. But I read this one article, this one piece, it was quite daunting. I've read a few and I've seen a couple videos, but this one in particular was saying how, because of course, it's a real estate play that Amazon is winning the most. Ironically, the Amazon, like the rainforest, is now expanding, but it's just data centers and it's consuming all the water. It's like the depth of irony. It's like idiocracy. But Amazon, here's an example, they purchased a plot of land, thousands of acres in rural California, not too far away though, from a suburban neighborhood, right? And what they're doing is they're expanding these like, I don't know, like these 60,000 square foot data centers that are being built on technicalities without having to go through city council, public boards, or the community that this directly affects. They're able to just dig, build and get going without having to run anything by the community in which it affects. Well, Julian, how does this affect the community if it's just the data center? What the fuck do these things do anyway? Well, it's all these, these computers, these servers that need to be cooled at all times. And the running bit now with AI is it consumes so much water to maintain. Like I'm doing this entire podcast now and this is my. That's my first sip of water. If I was an AI data center, I would have probably consumed 60 gallons of water at this point. But this is what they're doing. This is insane. So these data centers are draining all of the local water source, which is the water used by the towns and the suburbs that are situated near these centers. So now faucets that used to flow regularly and healthy are moving to a slow drip or dribble. Water is becoming brown and polluted by these centers as well. I read one piece that said in the. What was it? It was like in, in 60 days, the data center had generated, had used more, more water than 20,000 homes in the community would have used. So they're really just, they're siphoning water and they're also getting priority to water. This is something that I've seen also with factories that aren't data focused. This is something that's been happening for years. I saw another article, this is the rabbit hole I've been going down in Mexico about Coca Cola production. And why is Mexico, why is Coca Cola so popular in Mexico? It's not because they fucking love Coca Cola. It's because Coca Cola has squeezed out all the water and literally made their Coca Cola like the only one of the few drinks that are consumable. So children, it was like on average in this specific community, children were drinking like two and a half liters of Coca Cola like every other day, which is insane as a child to consume that much sugar. We're like, Julian, why would they do that? Why are these Mexican people so unhealthy? That's disgusting. Da da da da. Well, it's not by choice, it's by design. So these Coca Cola factories, again, like these data centers in California and all over the country, came into this Mexican community, stole all the water out of this community, and then blitzed the community with marketing about like painting murals of Coca Cola. Like basically just middle fingers all over the community, but just using the opportunity, like using this community as a canvas to paint their products all over the place and then force feed it to the community. Because the water was so dirty and they actually, they had no access to clean water and the water they had access to was filthy that they were actually just being pinched to drink Coca Cola instead. It's really shitty. So this is like the data version of that now. So look into these things. They're also loud data centers. They make these like hum, buzzing noises. It's like a constant white noise like in a, in an awful. Just like, like you're like you're standing inside of like an industrial freezer. It's just. And again, those sounds can be heard. This isn't like you don't know it until you're like driving by it. These sounds are actually so loud that they reverberate and can be heard in the communities like the suburbs of the town is in which they border. And not only that, that shit affects the local wildlife as well. That stuff. It's like in plants, trees, these things are living like constant vibrations and sounds and pulses. There are ramifications that happen across the forest. The lining trees of these neighborhoods and the animals that call these the wild areas of that area of the country. Home. Sorry, I can go on and on about this. It's just really, it's sad to say that like we're actively just not only destroying the planet because that's always been the thing, but we're also just pushing towards the end of humanity. And we're constantly being told by the billionaires that there's nothing we can do. AI is the future. AI will be the future. AI is going to take over. When in fact these are the few people at the helm that could not stop it. They could end this. But the urge for uber wealth and capitalism is runs so much deeper than their concern for humanity. It's so sad and I just don't know what's next or if there is a next. It's quite daunting and disturbing, but

guess all you can do is. I guess for me, I'm at this place now where staying informed, like I don't want to be. And not to say everything I read or everything I'm consuming is the right thing or accurate. I try to be really smart with the stuff that I read and consume. But I think it's really important to be aware whether or not that means myself or people that I know and love can actively make change or do something about it. I think confusion is intentionally weaponized by the billionaire class to keep people at bay and to make them feel like there's no hope or there's nothing that they can do to counter whatever the movement is or whatever agenda they're pushing. Right. So the uneducated is the best place for. For the general community to operate from because it feels like you're then just at the mercy of the people at the helm and then they can do whatever they want. And you feel like whatever's happening to you is supposed to happen to you because of people that said that this should happen to you are making it happen to you when in fact that's not true. Right. Just because something's happening to you or things are changing in the direction and if it feels wrong and you know it's wrong, investigate why it's wrong. Don't just take it for the. Don't just accept it because it's being thrusted upon you. Pause if necessary, but just remain curious. Remain educated. And when you are in a position to have a platform or discuss with people that are curious, give them the information that. Give them whatever information you can or challenge people that may think the other way. I think that's really important as well. Sorry it's late here, I'm gonna skedaddle in a bit. But I am also reading. I finally got my buddy lent me Anthony Kiedis biography. And for those who aren't familiar, I think Kiedis is the front man for Red Hot Chili Peppers. I'm a couple chapters into the biography already. He's lived one of the craziest. I'm only in like high school, middle school. One of the craziest childhood lives of all time is dude was like popping quaaludes and strippers with his dad. When he was 12. And that's not an exaggeration, that's like on page like 35. So this is a, it's a pretty crazy book. I've heard great things about this book and it's a group that I'm fascinated by and era that I'm also fascinated by. He grew up in the 70s and was really living in Hollywood as a child at that time as well through the 80s obviously. Then they struck big in like the 90s, so I haven't gotten that far yet. But it's again in the spirit of learning and consuming more historically and then also just seeing like, you know, what other characters come into play. Red Hot Chili Peppers worked a lot with Rick Rubin. I'm like kind of privy to how they got linked up. But I want to hear it in through Kiedis own words. So it's going to be pretty cool to come across, you know, when he enters a story at some point. Yeah, guys, other than that, I got a big week with this really important thing happening on Wednesday that if you're, you know, if you got space for me, put a thought prayer out there for me. Tomorrow if you're listening to this day of release and then I might, we'll see. I might not have an episode next week. I have to go. I had a passing in the family. I have to go travel next week and the services is the. I'll be gone like when I usually record. But I'll see what I can do. But yeah guys, funky episode. We talked World cup, we talked data centers and the future and our future, our collective Future also. Happy 4th. Oh I did go to a really amazing 4th of July celebration. My, my dear friend produces all of the award show like is a big time producer on like the Grammys, BET Awards, like the CMAs, the VMAs, maybe if I most of like the big award shows. But they, her company also did the Macy's fireworks display show at Pier 17 here in Seaport in New York City. I went with a friend of mine. We had so much fun. Shibuzzi performed, BB Rexa and a couple other people performed. And the firework display was incredible. 85 tons of fireworks. It was the by far the best view I've ever had at a fireworks show. I'll put in some footage here. But it was, it was a really, really fun time. And look as frustrating and as critical as I am of this country, I'm still happy to call it home and especially more importantly to call New York City my home because I do love it here and I love my community here. So yeah guys, happy happy 4th. We survived the heat wave. It's cooled off a bit. I finally have my windows open again so I can get across breeze. But yes, drink water, don't give it to data centers, Open up your windows, air your apartments out, air out your home, get some fresh air, read, stay informed and continue watching the World Cup. We keep watching the great game. Alright guys, this is episode 64 something wrong with the Podcast. I love you all. Thank you so much. Peace.
