J. Aundrea
Yeah.
02:18.12
Bruce Anthony
And we just respond to things differently so I know one hundred is a big deal. Also this is true but also it's not like when I started this thing I didn't expect to be here. So that's that constant of yeah you know so 100 episodes I expected to be here but also.

02:53.45
J. Aundrea
Yeah, and will right remember that remember remember just how bad the show was when we first started we didn't even have segments like we didn't.
02:55.46
Bruce Anthony
Then we were the very first episode when we were recording this bad boy on Zoome and with with the horrible mikes guest. Oh god know it's.
03:12.28
J. Aundrea
We were. We were just talking for an hour like with no and I was actually a friend of ours that say hey maybe I'll just think about segments I would say oh yeah, that's good. Have some sort of order to the show. Yeah, that's smart.
03:14.32
Bruce Anthony
That is.
03:20.41
Bruce Anthony
Yes, yeah, that that is a good good. Yeah, just some order and and and rundown you know I think I think it was somewhere around the twentieth or thirtieth episode.
03:31.27
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
03:35.13
Bruce Anthony
Ah, well we actually started doing a rundown because before it'd be like what do you want to talk about. Okay, let's talk about this. This will be this segment. This will be this segment. This will be this segment this very much what.
03:35.94
J. Aundrea
Yes, right? Very loose very just very by the seat of our pants. Yes, the.
03:50.77
Bruce Anthony
So a lot of people. Okay, so we're already answering some of the questions that people sent to us like I said some of y'all went too far with 1 to no sir things but ah okay, maybe we'll talk about on after hours episode but about our dating lives.
03:59.57
J. Aundrea
Yeah, now I have to know what those questions were.
04:08.21
J. Aundrea
Okay, okay, um, yeah I'll be fine answer on that but answer is I don't have 1
04:10.23
Bruce Anthony
Definitely bought our dating lives um types. What's our types. Yeah, you know like things like that you know I don't have a type.
04:28.84
Bruce Anthony
Bad things is the only thing that I like which is not true because I have definitely dated some well dated is a loose term but definitely you know some ugly women we all men.
04:30.30
J. Aundrea
I mean.
04:36.29
J. Aundrea
I Mean we've all we've all we've all stepped stepped out of our lane from top to time you know loneliness will get you. It'll get you.
04:44.92
Bruce Anthony
Yeah I was telling I'm not going through my friend on the bus but I am I had a yeah though people on the bus but I would ever name names and I try to always speak in terms where you don't even know their gender.
04:55.92
J. Aundrea
It's your favorite thing to do yeah. Yeah, yeah.
05:04.57
Bruce Anthony
Always try to use they or them but I was telling them that hey you know the reason why your dating life is a little jacked up right now is because you're lonely. So you're willing to settle for anything I was like I think you need to take a step back and build your steam back up because.
05:15.78
J. Aundrea
M.
05:23.57
Bruce Anthony
You date your self- eeem if your self-esteem is high. You go your partner is gonna be pretty high your stuff eseem is low. You will settle for a lot of things that you wouldn't normally settle for all right? That's enough of say what guy wears a Kidney shoes.
05:24.80
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
05:32.61
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, that guy that works at Kenny's shoes that guy that works at Kenny's shoes um
05:43.19
Bruce Anthony
Are let's get to these questions because I went down 14 of them and that's a lot. Um, so the very first question that I that I chose to answer because I thought it was a good one and we kind of answered it was how do you get ready for each episode, especially when you.
05:47.94
J. Aundrea
Yeah, um.
05:55.72
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
06:02.75
Bruce Anthony
Ah, diving into sensitive topics.
06:06.16
J. Aundrea
So all of our stuff is ripped from the headlines that we look at what happened that week um you typically create the rundown you you let me know what the topics are and stuff beforehand you create the rundown if I have any input or anything. You know or anything I want to talk about I let you know and that's pretty much it I mean it depends on I think there's another question about how deep we get as far as like our research and stuff like that. Um.
06:41.39
Bruce Anthony
That's actually the the the next question. Well, that's kind of the question but I think more specifically what this question is asking or what this listener was asking is is we talk about stuff that. People out there in the world would deem as sensitive topics. They're not sensitive topics for us. So That's the reason why we don't really have a hard time getting prepared to talk about these topics. They're not sensitive to us. They're sensitive by and large to the world because sometimes the world just don't want to address these issues.
06:57.26
J. Aundrea
Yeah, right.
07:16.00
Bruce Anthony
Don't want to talk about abortion. They don't want to talk about immigration. They don't want to talk about white supremacy and racial discrimination. They don't want to talk about affirmative action right? They don't want to talk about the the attack on transgender people. They don't want to talk about the homophobia that still permanates throughout our society.
07:17.85
J. Aundrea
Um.
07:24.99
J. Aundrea
Ah, right? okay.
07:34.60
J. Aundrea
Um, no, because yeah, you gotta understand ah talking about me specifically I'm a black woman in America so none of these topics are sensitive to me because they are.
07:35.00
Bruce Anthony
They don't want to talk about that stuff. That's not sensitive stuff to us that is the world we live in.
07:51.78
J. Aundrea
Um, inextricably linked to my existence in this country. You know all of all of these things are part of my lived experience Racism Sexism All these things are part of my lived Experience. So I'm just. Talking about my opinion based off my lived experience and even if it's even if we're talking about Trans rights or things like that I mean you're talking about my friends you're talking about people that I care about so these nothing is going to be too sensitive for me to talk about when it's. Talking about the freedom and the justice for the people that I love and for myself.
08:35.30
Bruce Anthony
Or or not even people that you love or know just the freedom and justice of marginalized communities because we're a marginalized community and I say all the time that we can't We can't be a marginalized community.
08:40.69
J. Aundrea
Right.
08:50.67
Bruce Anthony
And not support other marginalized communities. We at the very least will not have understanding exactly for everything that they've gone through but we have ah a better empathy because we have a slighter greater understanding of what they're going through and if you recognize somebody else is struggling.
08:55.76
J. Aundrea
Right.
09:08.30
Bruce Anthony
Like you have struggled you don't step down or punch down in that person you stay in your hand you say come on with me because we're in this together. So I guess you know to the the listener that or the listener or watcher that asked this question we don't.
09:10.14
J. Aundrea
Um, right.
09:26.32
Bruce Anthony
Deem these topics as sensitive. So it's not difficult to talk about it. Oh okay, yes, that is.
09:26.86
J. Aundrea
That doesn't mean that they're that doesn't mean that it's not emotionally taxing. Um that doesn' it that doesn't mean that it it doesn't have some like emotional impact because it's a thing of Like. We've been dealing with the same things since we were brought to these shores in just different forms. It truly wasn't and.
09:52.58
Bruce Anthony
Um, but slavery was so long but slavery was so long ago.
10:00.54
J. Aundrea
Like my grandparents parents were born into slavery. Yeah, okay so it's it's not. It's not so long ago that the trauma of it The generational trauma. The.
10:02.39
Bruce Anthony
There you go 4 generations.
10:15.80
J. Aundrea
Ah, cultural Trump like all of that stuff. It's not like this this it doesn't take a toll if you're asking like how do we deal with that. You know we have a great community of people around us that constantly uplift us and um.
10:25.28
Bruce Anthony
E.
10:32.44
J. Aundrea
You know there's Marijuana there's tequila and he no, you could talk about Marijuana but it's like you will defame me on this show and I'll just like a man.
10:33.52
Bruce Anthony
Yes, but I've I was told not to not to talk about Marijuana so much.
10:49.60
Bruce Anthony
Ah, she's talking about me calling her a pod head but we not go focus on that and and I think ah back to the listeners question me and my sister are support for each other.
10:56.30
J. Aundrea
Brian.
11:01.64
J. Aundrea
That too.
11:04.76
Bruce Anthony
So emotional support for each other. Um, when loads get too heavy. We're both there to to kind of be there. That's the that's part of the dynamic of our relationship and and really it's the dynamic of growing up in our house All of the siblings are very close at.
11:23.79
Bruce Anthony
The siblings and the parents are all very close because in a way we all grew up together literally all of us grew up together. So yes, when we deal with sensitive topics and we're talking about emotional stuff. How do we deal with it one. We don't look at as as sensitive.
11:24.25
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:40.82
Bruce Anthony
We do look at it as emotional taxing and when it is emotional taxing. We are there for each other.
11:44.92
J. Aundrea
Yeah, that's part of the great thing about having a show with your sibling because we can We can be there for each other because I know when stuff is difficult for you to talk about. You know when things are difficult for me to talk about and so the just.
11:50.34
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, well here.
12:03.92
J. Aundrea
Part of that dynamic.
12:03.94
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, and it's a look right? like we know each other all alive so we most of the time know what? the other one is thinking and there's certain facial characteristics that the other one will pick up on and and we're doing this remotely. But we're looking at each other as we're doing it.
12:07.68
J. Aundrea
Right.
12:19.39
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
12:22.16
Bruce Anthony
We still step on each other when we're talking sometimes that just happens um right? but but there's that there's that connection even though it's remotely. We're there. Okay that I hope we answered that question because we got a lot more to get to all right? um.
12:23.82
J. Aundrea
Yeah, eighty H d.
12:34.20
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah.
12:38.69
Bruce Anthony
Can you share how you make sure everyone's voice is heard during these discussions. That's pretty easy like ah if if you're talking about the sibling Happy hour. Ah purposely asked my sister to be on because I like hearing her perspective on certain things. She's extremely intelligent.
12:57.86
Bruce Anthony
Extremely well thought out in what she wants to say and how she wants to convey it. So. It's not easy. It's not difficult for me to just step away and let her go if y'all notice sometimes I will step away and just let her go in a rant or I would just say hey this one's for you go because that's how we we want to Foster. Um. Open discussion Now if you're speaking to my interviews I'm bringing them one to to discuss a subject. So So it's not hard I'm literally I I'm I'm asking them questions and I want them I want to hear their responses I want to hear their answers. It's a conversation.
13:22.46
J. Aundrea
That Yeah yeah.
13:33.90
J. Aundrea
Um.
13:35.47
Bruce Anthony
And and the interviews have gotten better from the first ones that I did to the last the last one I did they've gotten better. Um, but yeah, no, we want to hear other voices. Unique perspectives.
13:47.44
J. Aundrea
Yet and ah our ego is not in it. So I think a lot of times where you get these podcasts a lot of is people bloviating they like to hear themselves talk and that's that's a.
13:57.61
Bruce Anthony
Now I do do that.
14:01.88
J. Aundrea
But that's it I mean but like the people that will over talk that you don't even hear you barely get 2 words out of their guest or you know you barely hear 2 words out of their co-host. That's that's people with ego in it like we're not approaching this with any ego like the whole point of the show.
14:04.82
Bruce Anthony
Yeah in.
14:19.81
J. Aundrea
Is that you hear just you know different perspectives and hopefully in these different perspectives you can figure out what you think about it or it'll solidify whatever position you already had you get something out of it.
14:35.97
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, the point the point the point of this podcast is to learn to teach and to learn right? Ah I don't I don't I will often say that I'm not the smartest person in the room I'm smarter than most I know that for a fact I'm out here in these streets.
14:39.46
J. Aundrea
Right? right.
14:51.95
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
14:53.87
Bruce Anthony
Um, more intelligent than most let me rephrase it I'm more intelligent the most. But I also know I'm not the most intelligent and I can recognize that That's the reason why I don't have an ego I don't have a problem when a admittting that I'm wrong and I want to hear a different opinion than my own I might say.
15:10.23
J. Aundrea
Um.
15:11.18
Bruce Anthony
That different opinion is absolutely freaking stupid but I still want to hear it and hear the person down to hear what they have to say so that's not difficult for me and and my sister's right, there's no ego tripping on here I will get on my soapbox I absolutely will get on my soapbox.
15:25.18
J. Aundrea
Um, even yeah.
15:28.84
Bruce Anthony
But the reason why I get on my soapbox. The reason why is because I feel like the answer to the question you already have it. You're just denying it So when I get on my soapbox and I talk about abortion Rights. You got the answers to the question already. You refuse to answer the question properly. So I get on my soapbox and I'm like yo Okay, just look at this logically what you're thinking is not right and this is the reason why you're thinking isn't right? and do I come off as pompous sometimes yep.
15:50.91
J. Aundrea
Um.
15:56.10
J. Aundrea
Um.
15:58.10
J. Aundrea
Bright.
16:07.42
Bruce Anthony
Because I am I am a little pompous sometimes because I know I'm right and I feel like because I know I'm right when I get on my soapbox I know I'm right? No no, no, no, no, no hold on now. What did I start out by saying I started out by saying I'm a person that can admit when he wrong, but.
16:14.76
J. Aundrea
You are not helping my no ego like it. Who.
16:26.82
Bruce Anthony
When I get on my soapbox I Absolutely know that I'm right about that I don't do the soapbox too often I don't do it during during the interviews I Ah typically only do it way.
16:31.89
J. Aundrea
Okay, you don't I would say you're passionate about your position I wouldn't I just wouldn't say. I don't know that I would commit to saying I'm I know I'm 100% right about this topic as swear that's ah, that's that's a you call me not committal but that feels like yeah.
16:51.37
Bruce Anthony
Ah, okay, see this is what all and this is another reason why my sister's on the show to bring me down a peggatoo just right I didn't quite say what I wanted to say.
17:04.48
J. Aundrea
It is that.
17:09.51
Bruce Anthony
Ah properly I feel strongly that I am right? but I am always open to listening to opposing viewpoints but every now and then I get on my soapbox.
17:11.86
J. Aundrea
There.
17:22.59
J. Aundrea
Yeah, you will You will get. You will give people the benefit of the of the doubt of least hearing them out. Um I think you do give to people too much too much.
17:30.50
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, you you say that's one of my flaws I give people too much benefit of doubt.
17:40.63
J. Aundrea
Um, because you know me I just I'm not gonna put up the emotional labor when I know ah you know that Google is free like don't don't just don't um I go.
17:48.40
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, know sometimes people don't know where to go right? They don't know the what Google can't Google can send you so many different ways right? like Google is a large vast research engine.
17:59.98
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
18:05.95
J. Aundrea
M.
18:08.10
Bruce Anthony
But you know this as a researcher if you're developing a paper or a thesis. It's a specific point. You need a starting point. You can't just walk into prepare and that research blindly so you need a starting point and sometimes we have to be the people and sometimes other people have to be the people for us.
18:14.40
J. Aundrea
Um.
18:27.90
Bruce Anthony
To give us the starting point then it's up for us and it's up to them when you get that starting point to go do the work but sometimes people just need ah the launch pad.
18:34.70
J. Aundrea
I Guess I Guess if people are being genuine in like their curiosity I will go into whatever diatribe I end Up. Or whatever rabbit hole land or falling down. But I think it's like the disingenuous questions of life. Well what about black on on black prime like I'm not gonna answer that again. I'm not gonna do it again. Yeah.
18:55.75
Bruce Anthony
Oh yeah, the people love people. Love what about Chicago and i'mma tell you this if you walk up to me and say what about Chicago I'm getting to that point in my life at my age where I have little patience for that.
19:13.56
J. Aundrea
Um, right, right? Especially especially the argument and I don't want to get too deep into Chicago but especially the argument of like we don't we're we're not focusing on it or we don't care. There are.
19:15.40
Bruce Anthony
My smacking your mouth I don't want to I don't want to go to jail but I um I might smack you in the mouth for saying what about Chicago.
19:31.17
Bruce Anthony
So many. So so many.
19:33.19
J. Aundrea
Dozens of organizations black lead organizations boots on the ground doing work daily in vulnerable areas and the fact that you don't know that means it's like you can't even engage me in this conversation like knock it off, but um.
19:40.20
Bruce Anthony
All the time.
19:48.10
Bruce Anthony
This is true. This is true. Yeah, hey we hope answered the question. The question was how do we make sure that all voices are heard during these discussions.
19:52.94
J. Aundrea
Yeah I hope that answered the question I forgot what the question I forgot what the question was oh yeah, yeah, taking our E taking our that's the point of the show and also taking our ego out of it.
20:07.96
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, that mean that's that's pretty much it and my sister you know anytime I do get a big deal. She will definitely check me. Um, all right the next question. What was the toughest episode to record I had to really think about this and if I believe it was the first.
20:20.67
J. Aundrea
Ah.
20:23.32
J. Aundrea
Yeah, because we just did not know we were doing. We knew we had something we knew we had something just like as siblings in our chemistry and stuff like that like we knew we had something and we knew we had something to say.
20:27.98
Bruce Anthony
Didn't know what we're doing and and it's it's. Right.
20:42.22
J. Aundrea
But it's like okay well, how do how do we do that? How do we actually have a show. How do we actually do it.
20:48.33
Bruce Anthony
So ladies and gentlemen the genesis of the show was this is I've told it before all the way back in 2003 I did an internet radio show that my co-partners for my professional wrestling company was doing came on the show went back to my brother and sister said. We should do that because we would be good at it that was in 2003 finally in 2002 after the entire pandemic was when we probably should have started this podcast 20 yeah yeah, Twenty Twenty s when we probably should have started the podcast but in 2022.
21:17.49
J. Aundrea
202020 not 2002
21:26.74
Bruce Anthony
Is when we started it and I just woke up one morning I think I saw an ad for podcast kit on Amazon right? That's how basic our equipment was I just bought it. Yeah, my equipment. Yeah yeah, she already had the equipment I didn't I just bought it because I said.
21:34.50
J. Aundrea
Um, yours my I already had the equipment.
21:43.80
Bruce Anthony
Once I have it I've got no choice but to start it I told Jay I said j I got it. Let's start it. She's like how we gonna do it I was like I don't know we're recorded on Zoom and I will figure it out I did a little bit of research about um postproduction stuff and just started it and that first podcast was the hardest.
21:47.50
J. Aundrea
Um.
22:03.62
Bruce Anthony
Because we did a test run that we basically had to get rid of that. We just basically had to get rid of not the lost episode that was later that was later used. There's an whole episode that we just deleted.
22:08.86
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah.
22:17.29
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
22:19.28
Bruce Anthony
Because we got 30 minutes into it and we misspoke on the subject you remember that we we misspoke on the subject we said that we are not something and said it wrong. That's how that's how long ago. Yeah, we said.
22:22.27
J. Aundrea
No.
22:31.55
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah, okay I think I remember yeah.
22:37.12
Bruce Anthony
It was the very first episode and we were like 20 or 30 minutes in and we said something and it was like whoa wait a minute hold up that is not what we meant to say and we cut it. We deleted the whole thing I was like I don't even know if I could edit that out because I didn't know how to edit that. Um, so to me that was the toughest episode because there was no.
22:43.89
J. Aundrea
Yeah, right here. Yeah.
22:55.71
Bruce Anthony
Think I had a couple of subjects that we were gonna talk about but there was no rhyme or reason there was no intro music. There was no segment breaks. It was just talking but I knew once we did it I'll figure out how to make it better later. Just gotta do it? Um, so that's my advice to to anybody that.
23:00.54
J. Aundrea
Um, it.
23:08.28
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
23:15.23
Bruce Anthony
Wasn't one of the questions that was asked. But my advice is if you want to start something. Don't try to perfect it before starting it. Just do it continuously. Get better.
23:18.20
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah.
23:20.90
J. Aundrea
Now yeah, you you because regardless of how expensive your equipment is or how much time you spend on it or what programs you buy this than the third the first show's gonna suck. The first 10 shows will probably suck like just record them just record them or or whatever it is like just do it just take that first picture take that first step you know, ah take that.
23:38.11
Bruce Anthony
Um.
23:40.56
Bruce Anthony
Just record them and and what that what you got to.
23:52.15
J. Aundrea
You know do that first interview. Whatever it is that you do draw that first picture whatever it is that you do just take the first step and then next thing you know you want to take another step in another and another and next thing you know you're running.
24:04.35
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, and next thing you know you're on your one Hundredth episode that part and we've been doing this show now for fourteen months because we started. The first show was November of 2022 so yeah
24:08.70
J. Aundrea
That part.
24:21.56
J. Aundrea
Um.
24:24.25
Bruce Anthony
You know you just get going and then it gets better along the way if you put in the work. Um, this next question is it kind of leads into that it was how does your personal life shape show content. Well you kind of already touched on it.
24:30.11
J. Aundrea
Um.
24:41.91
J. Aundrea
Yeah, we live it.
24:43.83
Bruce Anthony
We live it and if we don't live it. We know we're we're somehow connected to it because of friends or family and we want to learn more about it and sometimes you can't go to your friends and family specifically to ask them certain questions because the dynamic of relationship. Maybe they don't want to talk about it.
24:52.74
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
25:01.89
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
25:03.59
Bruce Anthony
Maybe they're tired of talking about it and so you bring on individuals that you interview or you research it to talk about it because you want to learn more so that's how that's how my personal life shapes the show. How does yours.
25:12.16
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah.
25:20.79
J. Aundrea
Yeah I mean it is. That's exactly right is um, we're gonna talk about things that feel meaningful to us. Even if it's just like pop culture Stuff. You know there's a there's a reason that we talk about everything that we've ever talked about on the show. Um. That we have either some sort of now we have some sort of personal connection to it. Um, and it's meaningful for us and these are topics that we're passionate about um and these are topics that we think.
25:42.17
Bruce Anthony
The.
25:54.80
J. Aundrea
You'd want to know about and we're hoping to foster dialogue with the people who who listen that they talk about it with their friends and family and even if we're not on the same side of the argument like that or or the you know the issue I don't know that I don't know that that. Matters a hundred percent is just like are we talking about it. Are we moving the needle in some way. So I think my whole motivation for this is to move the needle in some sort of positive direction to have some sort of impact in some.
26:14.53
Bruce Anthony
Further.
26:31.49
J. Aundrea
Kind of way. Ah, even just a regular bum like me like still has something that I think it'll be worthwhile for people to listen to So it's just it's a personal connection to everything that we we talk about.
26:43.82
Bruce Anthony
Mayor so stand with personal The next question is how do you balance personal life with podcasting.
26:47.60
J. Aundrea
And.
26:57.81
J. Aundrea
Um, we're pretty strict with our schedule. So so.
26:59.80
Bruce Anthony
Yeah I think I think more I think I think the question is really asking us is how does podcasting affect our personal life and vice versa.
27:13.44
J. Aundrea
Um, I don't really think it does Yeah okay.
27:15.44
Bruce Anthony
So for me, it definitely does for me and I will say this not to make it's about me because this is the sibling happy hour. We do this show together. But my sister said it at the top of that at the top of the hour not the hour. she said what do I think I'm on radio or something at the top of the show.
27:24.13
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah.
27:30.20
J. Aundrea
Right? at the top of the hour we have the news Danny what's the weather doing out there.
27:34.43
Bruce Anthony
Yeah I I'd say the internet radio show not not real radio. Um, as my sister pointed out I do the post-production I do the producing of the show. Um, when I started this.
27:41.93
J. Aundrea
I. And. Um, yeah.

28:13.33
Bruce Anthony
How much time outside of actually filming this show actually takes ah.
28:17.20
J. Aundrea
Let me be honest I did I think fourteen months later we still be doing this and be on the hundreds episode. No I I was I was like I was like.
28:24.91
Bruce Anthony
What olds truth is being.
28:30.86
J. Aundrea
I was like he'll I'll do this, you know for a little bit and then it'll sort of like taper off and then I want to because I think if I if I were to go back. Of course I would still do the show but I black every week
28:47.70
Bruce Anthony
By the way ladies and gentlemen I ask I require an hour a recording time of my sister every week. That's it. Ah, it goes over because of Hugh not because of me sometimes you get to going.

Bruce Anthony
And you just yeah, we both are stopped. Don't throw that on they'll throw that under don't throw me under the bus like that we both are very talking. Ah well he is. So do you you talk too much and you never shut up. No, but for me my personal life.

29:21.96
Bruce Anthony
I do the post production ladiess and gentlemen if y'all follow us on all the social media and the Youtube and all of that all those clips and everything we don't have a staff I do that that is me and that is self to yet yet yet even then even when we do have a staff I'll be looking over their shoulder I just that's that's who.

29:54.93
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, oh.
30:01.57
Bruce Anthony
I Do enjoy doing the editing for the clips that I do enjoy. But the show doing the editing for the show that is very time consuming so to answer your question. How has this affected my personal life I now have two full time jobs I don't regret it.
30:16.72
J. Aundrea
Um, right right? Nobody's putting a gun to our head like we're choosing to do this? Yeah yeah.
30:18.68
Bruce Anthony
This is what I chose to do and I actually really enjoy and love it. No there but it does affect my personal life because I people be like hey man, why don't you you want come out hang that I got some shows to editor I got do this interview or no I can't do that and yeah because I have.
30:37.75
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
30:38.32
Bruce Anthony
2 full time jobs but I didn't know it was gonna be this time consuming I don't regret it not at all now what surprised it to me is you saying that you thought that this wasn't gonna last that long I that you don't you don't know your brother. You don't know your brother.
30:51.00
J. Aundrea
I Thought you would get I thought you would get bored with it.
30:57.96
Bruce Anthony
When when have I ever said I'm going to do something and not follow through with it. Yes, yeah, that.
31:03.34
J. Aundrea
Yeah I was projecting. That's me that I do that? Yeah no I do think but that I you know I get hyper focused on stuff and then the novelty wears off and then it tapes off. Um as far as it. Any how do I handle my personal life with the podcast commitments. You know Ah yeah I mean sometimes Thursday's a nice I want to chill you know and I get off work and I'm just like I gotta do my research and stuff for the show or you know.
31:24.80
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, yeah here.
31:36.15
J. Aundrea
Ah, things like that We got to record the show. So yes, sometimes you know I'm tired I don't want to do it but it doesn't.
31:41.26
Bruce Anthony
And and we have to start later we had to start we start recording after seven thirty because I'm still working until 7 with my regular day job I'm still working until seven o'clock at night on Thursdays so we can't start.
31:47.52
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah, yeah, which means you're up even later because you got to edit the show so that I can go out the next day.
31:58.17
Bruce Anthony
Right? And then and then I'm supposed to take Fridays off but the last couple of months I've been working Fridays so it's like I'm up late doing the post-production so that the show is released on time on Friday and then I have to work on friday.
32:12.90
J. Aundrea
E.
32:17.84
Bruce Anthony
So ah, but that sounds like I'm complaining I'm not complaining. You asked me hows affect my personal life I'm giving you the answer. The answer is I'll be working I'm tired if y'all haven't noticed. Ah if y'all watch on the video I'm starting to develop bags under my eyes I didn't had at the beginning.
32:22.82
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, yeah, yeah.
32:31.76
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
32:35.24
Bruce Anthony
I didn't had it I'm starting to get wrinkles on my forehead I didn't have any original episodes the forehead used to be smooth now. It's like I got like the Wayne Johnson wrinkles on my forehead I don't know where the hell that came from all right if you're watching my face got a little bit fatter. My sister is losing weight I'm gaining weight.
32:38.71
J. Aundrea
Right.
32:45.38
J. Aundrea
Um.
32:52.32
Bruce Anthony
That's all about to change because I'm back on my diet for the new year but I'm just saying things been I'm I'm going back starting next week because I already started off bad this week so I said this is gonna be the last week and then no more chips from Sunday to April First no more chips.
32:54.52
J. Aundrea
Are you keto again? are you keto again.
33:10.36
J. Aundrea
Yeah I gave up sweets. Um and and Uber Eats I like that it rhymes but like so so you have to understand like even for before the surgery I went zero sugar so I had not had sugar.
33:21.86
Bruce Anthony
E.
33:26.16
J. Aundrea
And then when I took my sabbatical I said would do whatever I want I Want to eat some candy or something and so I got some candy and it was like crack like it because I hadn't had sugar in so long and yeah, so now I have to kick my sugar heavy and it's hard because I really.
33:39.57
Bruce Anthony
Um.
33:44.80
Bruce Anthony
Ah, well sugar is absolutely addictive I don't know I don't I don't know if I remember this correctly and somebody in the Youtube comments will absolutely correct me. Love I love the Youtube comment community. Um, that was me being sarcastic I do love some of y'all.
33:45.72
J. Aundrea
Want a slice of cake right now. Yes.
33:54.80
J. Aundrea
And.
34:02.34
Bruce Anthony
Ah, some of y'all do not I believe I saw a study a few years back where they studied sugar and cocaine on the effect of mice and it had very similar effects like very very like sugar is addictive and what you.
34:12.81
J. Aundrea
Um, is yeah yeah, no, you Absolutely that's absolutely correct. Um, it does have the same effect on the body as as as hard drugs.
34:20.17
Bruce Anthony
And this is what I learned when I went keto all the way back to 2019 how much food actually has sugar in it and it's it's not said on the label right? A lot of times people won't recognize it in a label. But.
34:29.44
J. Aundrea
Yeah, right.
34:38.62
Bruce Anthony
Anytime there's a complex carb. There's sugar involved with it. So the nutritionist of me is about to come out. What is the complex carb complex carbs are your bread your grains your pastas your things your potatoes your things of that nature. All that stuff has sugar ated. So when you think they're like I'm cutting out sugar. No, you're not no no, you're not.
34:41.33
J. Aundrea
Um.
34:48.19
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yes, no, all that stuff breaks down and turns into what sugar. Yeah, that's that should is should.
34:57.19
Bruce Anthony
You got it well glucose but but in it went yeah with yeah yes, it it technically science every fructose.
35:07.80
J. Aundrea
If it has if it has os at the end sucrose Fructose glucose is a shug.
35:15.40
Bruce Anthony
Well sucrose I think is a sweetener I don't think necessarily. It's a sugar are we're about to get off topic AdHD we're not gonna do that. We're not go do that. We're gonna go back to your questions after this quick break.
35:21.53
J. Aundrea
I think sucroses should hold on way off topic.
35:37.22
Bruce Anthony
All right? So my sister did a little research and what'd you find out j.
35:43.18
J. Aundrea
Sucrose is the chemical name for table sugar. It is actually sugar you like I think it's just a sweetener.
35:49.80
Bruce Anthony
So now. No so I was absolutely wrong see ladies and gentlemen check my ego right there but that's enough of us detour. Let's get back to your questions. Um.
35:54.80
J. Aundrea
Right.
36:01.79
Bruce Anthony
Any instances where your life experiences played a big role in shaping a podcast episode specifically us um I can't off the top of my head think of anything Personally I mean I talk about my personal life when I just do the show all by myself.
36:17.50
J. Aundrea
M.
36:19.81
Bruce Anthony
Um, I tell everybody about you know, crazy dating stories. Um, but I don't remember there being a specific instance where I was like okay I gotta talk about this on the show unless I'm throwing people's confidences that they tell me. You know personal stories and I just say a friend told me this a friend told me that but for you when you had your surgery. Yeah I Okay ladies and gentlemen. Yes I'm absolutely messy I Love I Love when people tell me Gossip I am I Love Gossip I won't.
36:39.89
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah I mean you're messy.
36:48.80
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah.
36:54.74
Bruce Anthony
I'm not messy in my personal life but I'll be in everybody else's mess but but and yes yes I Ai n't sharing this my one customer and I ain't sharing shit it well not true I talked about crypto after three months
36:55.27
J. Aundrea
Right? You will not share but you will definitely consume. Yeah, well you right. Yes.
37:14.95
Bruce Anthony
I did talk about crypto ah and this is this is something okay, this it didn't happen right? at that time right? It happened three months earlier but if you watch the episode. You can absolutely tell I got emotional and I had to cut it because there's a there's a cut.
37:19.91
J. Aundrea
A.
37:29.72
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
37:33.91
Bruce Anthony
There's a cut and you see the eyes they real they real. You know they they little bloodshot because brother had to you know, stop and and cry a little bit. We knock on less matter. Of fact, let's switch the subject right now. So let's go to you.
37:34.47
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, yeah.
37:44.33
J. Aundrea
Well, Ah, well you had a whole episode where you let people see a deeper look into who you are I think that yeah I think the way in which your life experience shaped that episode is that.
37:54.80
Bruce Anthony
Oh the Fiftieth episode mirror.
38:03.24
J. Aundrea
Typically you are not an open book like that and it was you stepping out of your comfort zone whereas like me everybody if anybody has been listening to the show from the beginning y'all know I struggle with anxiety and depression I struggle with AdHD.
38:04.28
Bruce Anthony
Here now.
38:19.51
J. Aundrea
When I got the ad H D diagnosis I told everybody about that ah ah'all know about my weight loss journey and I had Bariatric surgery like I wouldn't say I'm an open book but I would say the way in which my life experience shape.
38:20.97
Bruce Anthony
Yeah.
38:35.22
J. Aundrea
The way I present on the show. Not necessarily show topics is that I know what it's like to feel like you're alone in in whatever issues you're in like whether it's anxiety depression.
38:35.86
Bruce Anthony
Who.
38:54.99
J. Aundrea
Whatever it is I had an eating disorder when I was a teenager like whatever it is There are times where you feel like you're alone and and not only that there's there was such a stigma attached particularly to mental Health So when I'm more vocal about it. It's because I want to normalize people talking about it like we all struggle with our our mental Health is like our physical health is like our emotional health is like our spiritual Health. We all have times we're fill up and times we're filling down that's universal for.
39:15.46
Bruce Anthony
Here.
39:28.38
Bruce Anthony
M.
39:32.40
J. Aundrea
Everybody everybody has had a moment or you know, maybe it's chronic where you have struggled with your mental health ah know a lot of particularly women particularly black women are getting adh D and Autism diagnosis diagnoses in their thirty s and 40 s. Because they spent their entire life masking and didn't know you know so when I when I talk about these things talk about my life experience or things that I'm going through how I present on the show is to normalize the discussion of it. Um.
39:54.57
Bruce Anthony
Oh.
40:06.27
Bruce Anthony
Oh.
40:09.35
J. Aundrea
So that people don't feel as afraid when somebody asked you yeah how you know how are you doing I'm like hey you know this this week was tough week but I'm I'm I'm feeling Better. You know like it's okay, you don't have to say I'm fine If you're not Fine. So That's what I want to get across. In the way that I present on the show.
40:29.66
Bruce Anthony
And I think that's so important important because that's exactly what I try to do as well. Well kind of sort of I'm not as open as you are I do all I I will say openly that I suffer from anxiety. Um, and.
40:41.66
J. Aundrea
M.
40:46.19
Bruce Anthony
It's funny because I come from the generation ninety s hip hop where can't be soft. Got to be hard all the time and I'm like who.
40:52.67
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yes. Yeah.
40:58.60
Bruce Anthony
To do that all the time man. That's the reason why so many people so many men are dying a heart attacks the strokes we hold it all in instead of talking about it. My I have 2 my bestie I and ever have to say that I don't have her to do that with because she's a female not to say that men and female are are.
41:04.21
J. Aundrea
Bright.
41:14.61
Bruce Anthony
Men and females are different hold on I'm not Goingnna sugarcoat that men females are different when it comes to dealing with emotions women are ah by and large generally speaking are a lot more vocal and expressing their emotions than men are by said by and large generally speaking I put all types of caveats on that.
41:20.20
J. Aundrea
Um, you.
41:30.50
J. Aundrea
Um, ah, no, but I'm I mean it's not something that's inherent like it's It's a societal construct. It's what we're allowed to do men are.
41:39.69
Bruce Anthony
Yes, you're absolutely right? yes.
41:44.15
J. Aundrea
By Society men are not allowed to express the full breadth of their emotions because that's somehow ah ah, an attack on their masculinity which is absolutely ridiculous.
41:49.96
Bruce Anthony
We're taught from young children. Right? We're taught as young children. Little girls can cry little boys can't cry. You know so I never have a problem telling my bestie because she's a female I Love you like we never have a problem going back and forth with that. My 2 other best guy friends one of them.
41:57.36
J. Aundrea
Right.
42:05.25
J. Aundrea
And.
42:12.91
Bruce Anthony
Never have a problem with saying I Love you hey love you brother. Love you too. The other one you know we know we know he does and you know who I'm talking I'm talking to you. We know you love us and hey.
42:20.10
J. Aundrea
Um, you write a yeah.
42:26.44
Bruce Anthony
And it just how it just happened I think on New Year's or Christmas we send the back you know Merry Christmas or happy New Year's guys I love you hey the other one was like hey man love you too and another friend was like happy New year and I was like just tell us you love us do like I know you do.
42:41.76
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, yeah, yeah.
42:43.58
Bruce Anthony
But he comes from that old school is just like men are men and this is like Nah man like I and it's like Wow I have those type of emotions. Yeah, you do you just suppressing it you you got him, you got him and you suppress it and it comes out as Anger not saying him particular but I'm just saying by and large you suppress emotions it comes out in anger.
42:53.70
J. Aundrea
Um, right.
42:59.96
J. Aundrea
Yeah, right? because you were because you resent other people who are able to express their emotions. That's where it comes That's that's where it comes from like whenever you see somebody and all they can Express is rage.
43:01.92
Bruce Anthony
So if you're an angry person that's got a quick temper.
43:08.17
Bruce Anthony
Damn I didn't even think of love. Yeah I did.
43:17.74
J. Aundrea
Is is twofold. It's one. That's that's the only thing that they were taught that they could express was joy and rage and that's it and and also it's a resentment of people ah living authentically.
43:32.67
Bruce Anthony
Who you just dropped the bar there just dropped the bar. Let's go to the next question and this one all right? So people like I said people asked about relationships and dating and stuff like that.
43:36.40
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah I write.
43:45.79
J. Aundrea
When.
43:47.88
Bruce Anthony
This was the closest 1 to 1 of these questions that I I was like I we'll answer this one. How is doing the show ah has doing the show had any impact on your personal relationships.
43:51.23
J. Aundrea
Are.
44:01.55
J. Aundrea
Um, now well you know I think it's opened up conversations with people that I might not have normally had.
44:03.65
Bruce Anthony
Okay, not for you.
44:16.81
J. Aundrea
Because they listen to the show and they think something that I said was interesting or they don't agree or they do agree or whatever. So I think it's opened up dialogues with people. Um that ordinarily I'd be like I didn't even know you thought about that stuff? Yeah, hell yeah, we could talk about it like.
44:18.59
Bruce Anthony
Ah.
44:33.82
Bruce Anthony
E.
44:35.94
J. Aundrea
You know what's up. It's so funny I have a I have a nephew one of my friends' sons and he he will hit me up when he comes across. You know some some social justice issue a doesn't quite understand what the problem is or he's trying to wrap his mind around is like. Just want to get your thoughts on this Auntie and and we'll sit and we'll have a whole you know conversation about it and and try to get him to develop his own. You know, thought process I I don't I'll give him my opinion but I don't like to lead him to an answer I'm like you know what do you think about this or have you thought about it like this. So.
45:09.16
Bruce Anthony
Where.
45:14.56
J. Aundrea
Yes, definitely um, but if you think if as far as like any kind of like negative impacts now. Not really its effort of people who want to come on the show and we'd be like not yeah.
45:22.28
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, there's okay so there's that right? like there are some people is like well won't you like come on. Let me come on the show I'm like what are we gonna talk about when you know we can just I like now. Okay, so you just want to be on the show to be on the show for what I don't I don't think people really understand what it's like to do a show.
45:31.98
J. Aundrea
Um, right, not yeah.
45:39.98
Bruce Anthony
Right? You think that you can just get up people just think that they could just get up and start talking but there cannot be dead air. There can't be 3 to 5 seconds of silence unless you know unless it's like you're laughing or something or something like that bo.
45:45.45
J. Aundrea
Novel. Right.
45:57.66
Bruce Anthony
When you're having speech and and and and your conversations with people you can't have a 5 second lapse of nothingness you automatically lose the listener or the watcher so people could come on here thinking that they have something to say not really be able to.
46:05.90
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, the right.
46:16.61
Bruce Anthony
Articulated expansively right? and they're like oh I said everything I'm just saying in 5 minutes well we got another 45 to 55 minutes left so well it is for us because we could talk but.
46:17.30
J. Aundrea
M.
46:22.56
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah, it's not easy to fill an hour. It's not it is for us because eighty H D and we can talk but it's it's not easy to fill an hour. So.
46:34.80
Bruce Anthony
Right? But no, it's not.
46:40.49
J. Aundrea
And a lot of times people like I feel really strongly about this I Want to talk about it. Great Let me hear what you say Yada Yada Yada Okay well well, that's it. Yeah, okay, well that that took.
46:48.49
Bruce Anthony
It writes time. Ah, how did they respond again. Will you say that's it.
47:00.70
J. Aundrea
Yeah, like okay, but that was about 45 seconds you said all you needed to say in 45 seconds like death. Yes, that's not enough like no, you can.
47:03.41
Bruce Anthony
Right? A segment is 15 to 20 minutes one segment. So so that's funny yet I've I've told a lot of people. No I've told a lot of people. No.
47:17.88
J. Aundrea
Ah, want to show? Yeah yeah.
47:22.90
Bruce Anthony

Um, I was actually really proud of you that 1 time where you was like no, it's a no now and it's a note tomorrow and I was like you know what? I I I like that.
47:41.68
Bruce Anthony
But you you didn't know that I stand on business when it comes to business I don't stand on business in personal life. But I stand on business when it come to business.
47:46.41
J. Aundrea
I did I hadnt I never had that chance to see that side of you and I really was like I the respect for you. It just even went it went even higher.
47:57.16
Bruce Anthony
Okay I was I was glad you said even higher because I was about for like I guessly respectful you all right? So for me.
48:04.82
J. Aundrea
I Obviously respect you Yeah, you're my older brother.
48:13.98
Bruce Anthony
This is the funny thing I have friends that listen to the show that whether they realize it or not in the time that they're talking to me is giving me content because you know I will often go on a side tangent.
48:19.13
J. Aundrea
And.
48:28.34
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, um.
48:32.74
Bruce Anthony
Of my friend or this person that I know and this and that they and a few of my friends have said I'm not telling you nothing else. No more I was like why because you was talking about on the show I was like they don't know that I was talking about you.
48:43.16
J. Aundrea
Um.
48:47.52
Bruce Anthony
I didn't say your name I didn't even say the gender of the person most of the time I don't even say the gender of the person who just like I got to be careful what I say around you I was like I didn't I told your business but don't nobody knows it's your business right? and the few people that I have had on to tell their business 1 person Allie.
48:57.33
J. Aundrea
Right.
49:05.83
Bruce Anthony
Did not want me to give her real name. She wanted to talk about um the time. Ah that that but she was on the metro and she was drunk and then I drove her home and I was like you don't have to show your face or anything when I had to give you a real name and then I had another friend on when I was given relationship advice to.
49:05.88
J. Aundrea
And.
49:12.63
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
49:18.25
J. Aundrea
M.
49:24.19
Bruce Anthony
And I was like you don't like the way you look right now that's okay, you don't have to be on video can I can I use your name like that like I protect people I protect my sources. Okay I did go I did start in Journalism for a little bit and so I will protect my sources. So.
49:28.16
J. Aundrea
Um, it's right? yeah.
49:40.70
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah.
49:43.65
Bruce Anthony
But that's how personal relationships people be like I don't want to tell you this because you go put it on the show and I tell them odds are yeah and now it's gotten to the point when people tell me something is like I'll be real honest with you I'm gonna talk about this on my show like this is too good I'm Goingnna talk about this on my show like I'm gonna do it like just let you know.
49:48.26
J. Aundrea
We.
49:53.62
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, yeah, yeah, just to let you know if you listen in something's gonna sound real familiar. Yeah.
50:02.76
Bruce Anthony
Um, that's how just let you know it's real familiar. Ah, okay, so the next question we kind of already answered this. But I think we can get a little bit more detail about it. What are our our personal habits or rituals that help us get ready for the show.
50:12.73
J. Aundrea
E.
50:21.16
J. Aundrea
Um, we do spend a few minutes chatting before you actually hit record just to kind of catch up a little bit get in the zone. Um I quote. Yeah.
50:33.14
Bruce Anthony
That's evolved over time right? because it used to be talking about our how the show was gonna go and then recently and I recently over the last couple of months I've cut that out and I said it sometimes it feels like to me because.
50:40.50
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah.
50:48.78
Bruce Anthony
My sister and I have different outlooks on life. She's always thinking That's good and I'm always thinking that could be better that went' that good So I was thinking that we weren't starting off right? and so I said hey I think we should just chit chatt.
50:51.61
J. Aundrea
Um.
51:05.78
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, yeah.
51:06.20
Bruce Anthony
Don't even talk about the show just chit chat before we get started so that we're already laughing and joking so that when we hit the ground running we have that energy where I thought some of the shows took a little while to start picking up on energy. That's the reason why we always start with deadly daddling. Um.
51:21.27
J. Aundrea
Yeah, but that's new, but that's new, but that is like our ah yeah, and it really it really happened organically too I think we just opened a show where we were just talking about nothing.
51:22.81
Bruce Anthony
Because dilly daddling is that happened kind of like in the middle like in around the fiftieth episodes that we started doing that.
51:39.13
J. Aundrea
And I was like yes so it's actually good for the first segment. All right, let's just go. Let's go with it. We got a positive response so we like all right, just go with it. Everybody knows Bruce is the sibling happy hour. So there's gonna be a cocktail that's another.
51:39.84
Bruce Anthony
Um, yeah, yeah, yeah.
51:51.14
Bruce Anthony
Sometimes I don't have cocktails all the time.
51:55.44
J. Aundrea
We always got a little so something to drink something? Yeah, whatever and I'm not always smoking on every episode.
51:57.52
Bruce Anthony
And I'm not always drinking on every episode. Well we've we've had a conversation about the smoking before we start doing the episodes that was that was a ritual that we had to get rid of.
52:07.49
J. Aundrea
Right? So that? Yeah yeah.
52:17.16
Bruce Anthony
I was editing the shows I was like Jay you said 17 words in an hour 30 minutes I I got the transcript it I got the transcripts where it says my name and the words and your name in the words and there was 1 episode where you were high and I spoke for.
52:19.80
J. Aundrea
I Still do not think that that's true I think I was speaking that episode.
52:33.35
J. Aundrea
Ah.
52:36.32
Bruce Anthony
80% of the episode.
52:37.33
J. Aundrea
Anyway, another one of my rituals is is sending up my room like my room the the background behind me I don't know what's going on with the light on my Tv right now I don't know why that's happening. It's usually just blue so I don't know what's going on with that right now. But um, just.
52:43.53
Bruce Anthony
Um.
52:47.29
Bruce Anthony
I Think that's kind of dope though. It should be flashing I like to.
52:57.11
J. Aundrea
You know my room doesn't look like this ordinarily so like the whole process of setting my room. Ah it just helps me get in the zone. It's just another one I didn't even think about that as ah as a ritual and then you know what up says what up brother like that's those. That's that's.
52:59.51
Bruce Anthony
Now.
53:13.79
Bruce Anthony
Um, yeah, our greeting.
53:17.40
J. Aundrea
That's part of the show but we didn't even realize that that was a thing until some but until a a viewer pointed that out it. We yeah how we greet each other.
53:21.70
Bruce Anthony
He was like y'all always say this. That's your catch phrases and I was like it what and then I was going back I was like we do always say that and and and and that's not something that I got to practice that's literally just yeah how we greet each other. Um, so yeah, so.
53:36.40
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah.
53:40.37
Bruce Anthony
Um, for me, my personal rituals are making sure everything is set up making sure that I have my rundown sheet in front of me and doing my throat exercises. So that's that's a new thing doing throat exercises because I noticed you know I get dry mouth real quick I start smacking and.
53:42.47
J. Aundrea
M.
53:48.94
J. Aundrea
You.
53:55.37
J. Aundrea
And and Elissa we got these pop screens on our mikes and everything but it's still pick up every little pop every it still picks it up. Yes.
53:59.77
Bruce Anthony
I Get nasally.
54:08.22
Bruce Anthony
Every everything everything people be like why you got that big thing is because y'all don't understand I'll be popping a lot when I talk. Okay happy I be popping a lot are um.
54:17.31
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we got to pick up the pace. This are we double's been at this 4 hour we have to.
54:25.26
Bruce Anthony
Next question and I thought this was and I no I know but I knew this show I knew this show was going to be longer than our normal hour I told you that's the reason why we're not film in after hours right? after this I said this show was probably going to be about the hour I said that before well now let's be real.
54:38.25
J. Aundrea
Spooker a damn.
54:44.25
Bruce Anthony
Lot of our shows in that one hundred span episodeibly happy hours was close to an hour so yeah they've run long. This is one Hundredth episode yeah we tried to but you know hey look it's the one Hundredth episode right? there we giving you'all what we giving y'all because we trying to give y'all whichall won't.
54:46.91
J. Aundrea
They they run long. They run long. We try to keep it to an hour yeah you sure yeah right no
55:02.72
Bruce Anthony
Hey I think that should be a slogan. We give y'all what y'all giving it what we giving y'all because we the no not everything to hit did did forget it already wave. But we give you what we give you because we give you what you won't I don't know it sounded.
55:05.91
J. Aundrea
Not everything, not everything should you already forgot it first of all, but not everything needs to be a slow now you already forgot it all right.
55:20.75
Bruce Anthony
It sounded smooth. The first time I said it though hate some guts that's another thing I hate my sister's guts if y'all didn't know yeah because what's the most suit. Um Jesus it'd be better if I could actually speak.
55:27.25
J. Aundrea
Well that answers the next question.
55:36.65
J. Aundrea
This this space pretty just pay pretty all right if you know old Eddie Murphy said I laugh you'll get it.
55:37.93
Bruce Anthony
What's the most significant thing y'all just people might not get that. Um, what's the most. Yeah I can't I would love to get out this question I've been interrupted 3 times I've tried to can I get it out now.
55:50.19
J. Aundrea
Go ahead. Nobody's stop not stopping you.
55:56.93
Bruce Anthony
You You literally are stopping me. That's exactly the reason why I've been able to do it all right? What's the most significant thing you discovered about each other now but come on now we I don't hate your guts. Yeah.
56:07.59
J. Aundrea
Guts. No no, we we tell each other we hate each other's guts constantly. It's it. It means we love each other. Um, um, that we actually have more in common as far as our.
56:15.95
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, it's a term of endearment.
56:25.23
J. Aundrea
Ah, views on different issues than I thought we would like a lot of times you'll come with stuff and you'll be like you'll probably disagree and then you'll say something and I'll be like no I actually agree with that and I'm like ah no I think that's happened more than three I think when we talk about stuff.
56:34.97
Bruce Anthony
I think that's happened like 3 times.
56:43.91
J. Aundrea
There are there have been times and I remember these instances where you'll so you'll say something or I'll say something and the other will agree disagree like that that has definitely happened. But I think whenever we bring up topics or things to talk about typically you and I agree more often than we don't and.
56:49.78
Bruce Anthony
Oh yeah.
57:03.48
J. Aundrea
That was surprising to me because I thought first sure I blame ah boy I'm gonna had to reign him in because you used to be a show a male Chauvin. This.
57:07.35
Bruce Anthony
Well, you know why you thought that? yeah you know why you thought that? Yeah absolutely I will not I will not shy away from that from the man that I used to be I was a male chauvinist cheater.
57:17.78
J. Aundrea
Yeah, dead.
57:25.93
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
57:25.96
Bruce Anthony
Selfish self-absorbed human being now I'm no longer a cheater I'm trying not to be in malel chauvinist I think I've come a long way from that. Ah am I still self-absorbed sometimes I mean I think I think all of us are a little selfabsorbed self-absorbed sometimes.
57:31.95
J. Aundrea
You definitely have.
57:41.82
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, that's a natural human condition is to care about yourself.
57:43.11
Bruce Anthony
I I do not believe that I'm selfish anymore I don't believe I'm selfish anymore if if if dick Yes, but okay.
57:50.74
J. Aundrea
You like to do what you want to do even if other people don't want to do it. You want to watch the movie. You want to watch even if.
58:00.75
Bruce Anthony
Hold on sometimes people hold on all right? It was only that 1 time all right? Okay, let's let's get into this ladies and gentlemen my dad was showing off. He's got a media room and when I say a media room. It's a movie theater and when I say movie theater. It's a legit movie.
58:05.79
J. Aundrea
Everybody in the room is already watching Jack Reacher and enjoying it.
58:20.64
Bruce Anthony
Theater in his home.
58:20.95
J. Aundrea
This is America a lot of people have those.
58:26.84
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, this is not well now I don't you know anybody else that personally got a movie theater in their home. Ah, a movie theater like Dad's ok, all right? Well ok, hey look hope.
58:29.90
J. Aundrea
Yeah, one of my friends does yes pretty close. Yeah I think a lot of people are putting them and they you know you got that extra little room and you you the lot of people are putting them in their houses.
58:43.25
Bruce Anthony
Wait well he doesn't have actual little room. He's it's but it it's a thing so my dad's got this okay and not the good Jack Raer not the Tv series which is I think is really good.
58:47.82
J. Aundrea
It's a it's a thing but that's neither here nor there we were watching Jack Reacher and we were enjoying it.
58:59.48
Bruce Anthony
The Timem Cruise Jack Reacher which also is pretty good and Jack Reach is pretty good right? I just wanted to see what Superman look like with all the super surround sound and big movie theater atmosphere I wanted to see what it looked like.
59:00.29
J. Aundrea
Yeah, we were all enjoying it everyone in the room was enjoying it but you had just had to see Superman or some something.
59:14.55
J. Aundrea
Do it on your own time.
59:18.39
Bruce Anthony
I How I'm going do it on my own time when it's at Dad's house.
59:23.26
J. Aundrea
That's for you to figure out but we were watching Jack Reacher and you just had to do what you wanted to do and you broke the damn system. Yeah, you did break it. That's all breaking it.
59:26.25
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, or now I didn't break the system it stop it stopped working after I started messing but it was temporarily inoperable.
59:42.45
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah, that's called Broken It became operable when the technician came out. It made it operable again.
59:45.17
Bruce Anthony
Temporarily just for a short period time. Ladies and gentlemen y'all don't understand I thought I broke my dad's Media Room Movie Theater I was I was like I don't know how much go cost but I know whatever cost I ain't got it. But.
01:00:02.16
J. Aundrea

01:00:10.43
Bruce Anthony
Ah, like I'm so sorry dad I'm so sorry it basically ruined the evening. Ah so yeah, they're okay, all right I'm not as selfish as I used to be can I say that all right all right because I didn't show did I show any selfish nature when I was down there to visit a good time. You know sir.

I'm like oh yeah I do remember us talking about that but some sometimes people break up stuff and I'm just like I'm sorry to be a disappointment I don't really know what episode you're talking about like but if you can refresh my memory. Maybe I maybe I.
01:04:42.38
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
01:04:52.41
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah.
01:04:56.43
Bruce Anthony
Remember that's been cool. Really, it's been a few commenters on a Youtube that have just been consistent consistent watchers and will comment and their comments aren't vague comments they are they genuinely watched the entire episode.
01:04:56.59
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah.
01:05:03.21
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:05:11.48
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah I.
01:05:15.33
Bruce Anthony
They have comments or questions or they want to hear ah viewpoints or certain things and I'm like that's really dope and ah like I encourage that even encouraged the haters. You know when they made comments. It's like hey you watching you hate watching but you watching so.
01:05:20.55
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, yeah.
01:05:29.95
J. Aundrea
Yeah there Thanks for the views.
01:05:33.17
Bruce Anthony
You know? So I guess that the that's yeah, thanks for the view. So that's the fan and actions and what I'm most proud to of and that's the end of the questions but that's not the end of the episode because something happened this week that we need to talk about and it's cat wood and and it's the Cat Williams interview
01:05:39.65
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah.
01:05:46.18
J. Aundrea
Um, let's talk about it.
01:05:53.30
Bruce Anthony
And we're gonna get into that next.
01:06:00.30
Bruce Anthony
All right Jay like we said something funny happened this week Club Shea is a podcast that is done by Shannon sharp. He should be most known for being one of the greatest titans that ever played the game I think he's a 3 times super bowl winner.
01:06:03.20
J. Aundrea
Here.
01:06:18.85
Bruce Anthony
Tv personality and he has a podcast that he does club chea doing very great good work on his podcast recently this week had Kat Williams the comedian on his show if y'all don't know who Kat Williams is he was money mike off of next Friday Bobby Shaw on my wife and kids. Um. Joe the policeman and the what's going down episode of that's my mama excuse me that excuse that was Randy Watson excuse me but very very He's been in the comedy game for a very long time has a whole bunch of specials. Um, he recently went on Shannon Sharp's podcast club sheya.
01:06:37.77
J. Aundrea
No yeah, yes.
01:06:55.46
Bruce Anthony
And literally just went loose with what he he he ah unloaded and and what I will say and I've listened to or watched the majority of the podcast about 85% of it. He told some lies and he told some truths.
01:06:59.86
J. Aundrea
Unloaded.
01:07:11.95
J. Aundrea
Yeah I watched the whole thing I watched I watched the whole thing on like between 1.5 and 2 times the speed so it made it seem even more unhinged I highly recommend even if you've already seen it.
01:07:15.26
Bruce Anthony
There's a little bit of all. Okay.
01:07:21.77
Bruce Anthony
B.
01:07:29.82
J. Aundrea
Watch it again on 2 times speed. Ah, it's even funnier. But yeah, it was a mix. Ah it was a mix of truth and lies you could take it would it but with a grain of salt. But ah, there were a few comedians Steve Harvey Sed Entertainer Ricky Smiley who are on Shannon show. They said some things that cat did not agree with and so he took that opportunity to um.
01:07:49.74
Bruce Anthony
There it is. And that's right and so that's that's what I said to one of my friends. 1 of my friends said I don't know why he did this. You know it's crabs in the barrel and I said no no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no these were people that were on Shannon Sharpe's podcast that said things.
01:08:10.52
J. Aundrea
And.
01:08:13.79
Bruce Anthony
He's responding you have with you are well within your rights when somebody says something about you that you don't necessarily agree with to be able to defend yourself and that's essentially what he did.
01:08:21.99
J. Aundrea
Yeah, just because he just because he ethered them doesn't mean that it came out of nowhere it it. It was a response to things that were said that involved him or involved people that he respected such as Bernie Mac
01:08:28.40
Bruce Anthony
Right? They came from somewhere. And like I said, right, right? And like I said there was a lot of truth in what he had to say now did he read 3000 books a year and run a 4 three forty no No
01:08:45.40
J. Aundrea
Um.
01:08:48.30
J. Aundrea
Was he it was. He accepted to college at age 7 listen probably not okay, probably not yes, we all knew that.
01:08:52.88
Bruce Anthony
No, no, no ok was Steve Harvey wearing a wig yes that that is absolutely true is Ricky Smiley a really really talented comedian. Yeah.
01:09:05.59
J. Aundrea
We all knew that.
01:09:09.49
J. Aundrea
No no is it is Cat Williams 5 5 no he is not he said that and then he said Kevin Hart was 5 too.
01:09:11.98
Bruce Anthony
Is He a really really talented actor. No, he's not. Yes, he is.
01:09:25.72
J. Aundrea
He is not three inches taller than Kevin Hart
01:09:28.64
Bruce Anthony
Ah, Kevin Hart is in 5 too I've I've met Kevin Hart I have not met Cat Williams I've met Kevin Hart I've stood next to him shook hands daed him up. He is a short man. He's probably around five four he's not five two
01:09:40.00
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah I I just I don't know that I believe that Cat Williams is 5 5 but that's.
01:09:44.31
Bruce Anthony
Ah, but five four sounds about right.
01:09:49.18
Bruce Anthony
Did Cedric the entertainer still his joke now I've watched the side by side comparisons and they are similar I don't think Cedric and entertainer actually stole his joke. They are similar there. There are similar.
01:09:57.14
J. Aundrea
Um.
01:10:01.75
J. Aundrea
Are they similar because he says verbatim. He just changed my car I didn't watch the side by side.
01:10:07.22
Bruce Anthony
But no, it's not vervat. It's not verbatim. It's not. It's not verbatim because I watched it. It's not but it's is similar ah but ah, yes, and no.
01:10:15.66
J. Aundrea
Is it the same setup Premise punchline.
01:10:24.40
Bruce Anthony
Kat Williams is talking about riding through the streets cruising in a car that's kind of hard to start get going like an old deuce in the court or something like that Cedric and entertain access said do in the court or Kat Williams says something else. Sedric's joke is about how they're going.
01:10:34.22
J. Aundrea
Um.
01:10:42.38
J. Aundrea
M.
01:10:43.21
Bruce Anthony
And outer space and saying black folks. Want to go there too. We'll we'll go in anything we'll go in in doce in a quarter and we'll space ship it and we'll be blasting music along the way. So though that premise of the joke is similar. Um, but it's not for Kat said it's verbatim. It's not verbatim.
01:10:54.39
J. Aundrea
In.
01:11:01.99
Bruce Anthony
But I don't know the comedy game if you take a kernel of somebody else's joke and kind of craft it a little bit differently and make it your own is that still in a joke I don't know the rules of the standup comedy game. But it's not verbatim who know and then then he stole the joke then.
01:11:10.69
J. Aundrea
I think it is I think it is and the thing that bothers me the most about it is that when when Shannon Sharpe asked Cedric the entertainer about stealing the joke. He said the timeline doesn't add up or just it doesn't line up. He does. That's not. Ah, no, and let's find my day. It's literally tape.
01:11:31.60
Bruce Anthony
Right? And the timeline does add up Catt Williams did it Kat Williams did it on comic view. Yeah is Catt Williams did it on comic view which aired before other king's a comedy that's it's that's just that's just a timeline. Um.
01:11:44.00
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah.
01:11:48.40
Bruce Anthony
Steve Harvey did try to sabotage Bernie Mac he did try to get hired on Oceans Eleven and that is an absolute lie as Steve Harvey said I didn't want to be a movie star Cat Williams is right? Steve Harvey isn't a movie star because Cat Williams is right.
01:11:49.85
J. Aundrea
Are.
01:12:01.84
J. Aundrea
No yeah, he did he is in fact, a country mumpkin.
01:12:06.70
Bruce Anthony
Steve Harvey doesn't speak. Well yes now Bernie also didn't speak well but he did it in such a way that was comical that it didn't sound as bad as what Steve Harvey does
01:12:22.52
J. Aundrea
Bernie just had a star quality. He was just a star like he was just a star I wanted to watch him I wanted to watch him star in things I wanted I wanted to see his movies. He I wanted to see his Tv shows.
01:12:26.55
Bruce Anthony
Um, that's another thing Cat cat.
01:12:39.68
J. Aundrea
I can't say the same thing about Steve Harvey
01:12:40.48
Bruce Anthony
No I mean don't get me wrong I liked um the Steve Harvey show the Steve Harvey show was funny I didn't even realize that until he broke it down and then absolutely was ripper hanging with cooper and I did not know that he used the tour with Mark Curry and that is funny.
01:12:44.93
J. Aundrea
But it was a rip of hanging with Mr cooper.
01:12:59.80
Bruce Anthony
That he was touring with Mark Curry it was Mark Curry's tour but Steve Harvey has never done anything with Mark Curry um so that's that's interesting. Also I've heard it on other interviews with DL that
01:13:06.45
J. Aundrea
Night.
01:13:18.48
Bruce Anthony
It was originally guide tory hosting um Cedric the entertainer and Steve Harvey and Steve Harvey was supposed to be the closer and as Steve said he was the closer. But Steve said he couldn't close because said and Bernie would go too long.
01:13:20.40
J. Aundrea
M.
01:13:27.90
J. Aundrea
He was the closer.
01:13:36.82
Bruce Anthony
And then when they brought in DL they would go too long so then they started mixing up the closers. But if anybody's watched the king's comedy and I know it was filmed differently to make Bernie the closer. He may not been the closer that night but Bernie is the king of that group pen. Simple.
01:13:46.26
J. Aundrea
Yes, and and if you are if Kat Williams is to be believed that the producer of the show made the decision to change the lineup and put Bernie as the closer.
01:14:02.80
Bruce Anthony
I mean yeah because Bernie should be the closer.
01:14:04.88
J. Aundrea
Yeah, because he shut that show like he was the perfect ending and he was the funniest one by a mile.
01:14:09.47
Bruce Anthony
Yes, yeah. By far the funniest one and and yes the kings of comedy didn't do a second tour because Bernie kind of didn't want to do it. But that's because Bernie and Steve Harvey didn't get along now you may not understand that now if you watch the Steve Harvey show
01:14:26.69
J. Aundrea
Right first.
01:14:32.21
Bruce Anthony
Because he does all these remembrance episode remembrance what? What's the word I'm looking for memorial. Thank you memorial episodes for Bernie but they wasn't really rocking like that because think about it. Bernie Mac never appeared on the Steve Harvey show not once
01:14:34.84
J. Aundrea
Like a memorium.
01:14:50.27
Bruce Anthony
Steve Harvey never appeared on the Bernie Max show we needed this sad or DL ah so none of them really appeared on the Bernie Max show now I think about it and Bernie never appeared on any of their shows. So Bernie was just like I'm just gonna do my own thing. Um.
01:14:52.96
J. Aundrea
Mm.
01:15:02.81
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, yeah, and what happened he became a star and was starring in his own movies.
01:15:08.99
Bruce Anthony
Right now Kat got his own issues. He's got issues with Kevin Hart that seems like it's coming from hatred I did a little bit of research fools rush in was a movie that Catt Williams was originally supposed to have the Kevin Hart role he was cast in that role but he was having legal trouble.
01:15:12.43
J. Aundrea
And.
01:15:22.10
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
01:15:28.75
Bruce Anthony
And couldn't go to the filming in Australia so it went to Kevin Hart and he's been better ever since then I also do know the time that I met Kevin Hart it was my friend who was working on the tv show while and out which Kevin Hart and Cat Williams were both on at kind of while they were doing standup.
01:15:31.60
J. Aundrea
Oh.
01:15:41.58
J. Aundrea
Um, yes, yeah.
01:15:47.14
Bruce Anthony
Right? I then went to chocolate Sundays at the comedy factory in l a I think this was's called a comedy factory I know it's called chocolate Sundays Catt Williams was the closersure back then not Kevin Hart Cat Williams was a bigger star than Kevin Hart now you can't compare to 2
01:15:54.23
J. Aundrea
And.
01:16:05.10
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:16:06.14
Bruce Anthony
Kevin Hart is global Cat Williams is national now I still feel like Cat Williams Standups are funnier than Kevin Harts now because Catt Williams has had to but Kevin Hart used to have really really funny standups the last couple of I and like they've been okay, um.
01:16:13.62
J. Aundrea
Yes.
01:16:22.57
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
01:16:25.82
Bruce Anthony
So Catt Williams there is some bitterness because Kevin Hart has not been on club shayea and hasn't thrown any shade towards him. The only shade that Kevin Hart threw at him was on the breakfast club a couple of years ago because Tiffany Haddish was originally on the cat williams tour but he didn't do anything.
01:16:30.74
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
01:16:39.52
J. Aundrea
M.
01:16:43.79
Bruce Anthony
For her and when you think about it. Kevin Hart has brought up young comedians to try and give them an opportunities and Kat Williams has it so there might be some truth to that. Ah, but like I said a lot of things I don't know about Harvey Weinstein offer him to give him fallacio. He suggested that that I don't know about that cat I think he might be lying. Um.
01:16:47.73
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
01:17:00.44
J. Aundrea
Yeah, um, yeah.
01:17:03.22
Bruce Anthony
He's also a comedian what I will say is that the interview was definitely entertaining and funny.
01:17:05.85
J. Aundrea
It was very entertaining and and and now now I am a big phase on fan just on a strength of baby baby's kids okay and parenthood.
01:17:18.91
Bruce Anthony
And parenthood.
01:17:23.22
J. Aundrea
But is it true that he ain't got no specials. Yes, so is he should he be in this conversation or be given his two cent I mean if y'all ask him the question a man is gonna give his opinion.
01:17:24.72
Bruce Anthony
That is absolutely true.
01:17:39.90
Bruce Anthony
He's also been a standup comedian like he goes all the way back to Robin Harris that's how long he's been a standup comedian you know? Yeah yes.
01:17:43.44
J. Aundrea
You and you got no specials and it and it is true. That said does have specials but you can't find him on Netflix or to be he does have one on Netflix it's not funny, but.
01:17:55.37
Bruce Anthony
No, he does have one on Netflix I believe on either he does 1 on Netflix. Yes.
01:18:03.41
J. Aundrea
The shit but the show the neighborhood I do find funny but do I find it funny because of Schmidt or do I find it funny because it such entertainer or to Sheena Arnold a cup. She's funny too. Yes.
01:18:10.37
Bruce Anthony
Both or to Sheena Arnold or actually the girl from two broke girls because 2 broke girls is a low key funny show. Two broke girls is a funny show I highly read? That's a good show. Cbs.
01:18:23.92
J. Aundrea
I I think I think it's the ensemble cast Really that does it for me for that I mean it's same as the.
01:18:26.54
Bruce Anthony
How to make comedies I guess or we're just getting old. Yeah, really can really good casting. Whatedric entertainer was the star of the Steve Harvey show I felt that he was funnier than Steve Harvey was on that show. He he would that was his role.
01:18:40.65
J. Aundrea
I felt like he was a sidekick on that show. He wasn't a star that show. Yeah because because listen Steve Harvey is funny. He is funny. Um, he's not the funniest.
01:18:45.10
Bruce Anthony
But he was funnier. Yeah, he is funny. He is funny. Well I think on the king's comedy is Bernie Mac DLCedric to Steve.
01:18:58.56
J. Aundrea
Yeah I agree yeah and DL still are here working. Yeah, he had nothing bad to say about DL he didn't have. Yeah yeah, he had nothing bad to say about Dave Chappelle
01:19:02.50
Bruce Anthony
Yale is still Funny. He he said there will be no DL slander on this episode. He is great. I Got some things bad say by this Pi I actually haven't watched a recentes stand up I Just gotten some feedback I don't go on what other people saying I need to watch it myself to make a judge for but if he's doubled down again on what everybody's saying he is on Transgender I'm just disappuring.
01:19:16.29
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, so do I But that's nothing here. No there.
01:19:29.83
J. Aundrea
Yes.
01:19:33.92
Bruce Anthony
I'm just extremely disappointed and my friend my bestie had tickets to the show I couldn't go because I had to work but she was like is it. Okay, if I go and I was like I don't hate this man I'm a huge fan of da Chappelle I'm just disappointed in the fact that he wants to dig in on this.
01:19:42.91
J. Aundrea
And.
01:19:49.25
J. Aundrea
Like why is this the Hill you gone down. Why.
01:19:51.85
Bruce Anthony
But also but also all of us have weird Hills that we down. We just don't have the mouthpiece in the the platform of which he does We all have Hills that you're just like why you want to down this hill but any other any other.
01:19:58.65
J. Aundrea
Platform. Yeah.
01:20:05.39
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
01:20:10.40
Bruce Anthony
Things you wanted to touch on in the Cat Williams episode Kat Williams interview
01:20:11.98
J. Aundrea
I mean it just it was just unhinged and wonderful I mean he was kind of the he was compliment Shannon Sharp but within the first five minutes he immediately started reading him for fulfill. He was like you let him sit up here and say this and you didn't say nothing. Ah, Ricky smiley was supposed to be money Mike he was like I invent money mike I do believe cat improvised those lines I do believe he definitely had a hand in hair in wardrobe because it looked like money Mike Looked like something Catt Williams
01:20:35.40
Bruce Anthony
The.
01:20:46.35
J. Aundrea
What where on one of his standup specials. If.
01:20:47.42
Bruce Anthony
Also I had to go to task with the fact that he said cat the Cat Williams said he had done 60 moves or something like that and I never played Catt Williams wrong and just about every movie you play Catt Williams so so I don't know what you're talking about you play Cat Williams
01:20:54.27
J. Aundrea
And.
01:21:03.21
J. Aundrea
Right? But right? but he's also not wrong that the movies aren't better with like the movies are better with him in it like he's not wrong about that.
01:21:07.10
Bruce Anthony
I Don't think you could play anything else. You're great in that role. But that's all you could play.
01:21:19.67
Bruce Anthony
Um I don't know fools rush in I think Kevin Hart was a better casting for that I remember watching that when we were you did you have because it used to run on loop in one of the cruises that we went on.
01:21:22.60
J. Aundrea
I Never saw I have never even heard of that movie.
01:21:30.40
J. Aundrea
I live I don't I Even know what it's about.
01:21:34.10
Bruce Anthony
Matthew Mcconaey is in that movie. They're going for some treasure or something like that Kevin heart is like like a leader of like these these goons that are going after him or something like that because they're trying to find this treasure him and um Kate Hudson
01:21:46.85
J. Aundrea
This is literally the first time I've ever heard of this film.
01:21:50.84
Bruce Anthony
Oh well? Well okay, let's just let's just finish up this segment in this episode because now we go now we go along? yeah.
01:21:56.85
J. Aundrea
Now we're going along. Um, yeah I definitely believe that the ah the money mike sexual assault scene that I'm glad that they did not do that. Him walking out with his with nuts and the pliers Terry Cruz ah that was infinitely more funny and and then him getting released and running down the street. It was infinite I am a boy Damon that is infinitely more funny than.
01:22:21.95
Bruce Anthony
Yes.
01:22:33.42
J. Aundrea
And saw he was absolutely right with that if that's how that story went if that's the way it went that he stood up for that. He's absolutely right.
01:22:41.88
Bruce Anthony
I believe it is because if you go back and watch the movie. First of all I've seen bits and pieces of it recently and it's absolutely hilarious I saw a clip yesterday and I wanted to text it to you but it was late and I was like not she probably sleep I will text it to you after this episode if I remember um.
01:22:46.83
J. Aundrea
And.
01:22:52.53
J. Aundrea
And.
01:22:58.74
Bruce Anthony
But that movie at the end gets dark but then all of the Fridays kind of get dark at the end. Um debo was ready to stab Craig in the first movie in the second movie little joker had the machine gun pointed at him.
01:22:59.38
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah, credit work at didn't wasn't craig Gonna. Or didn't he pull a gun on Deepbel and his father talked him into just fist fighting with yeah I mean yeah, they all took a dramatic turn. Yeah.
01:23:22.94
Bruce Anthony
yep yep yep yep yeah which is like it's kind of an ice cube but like where were you going with this. But yeah, no, he was the what Kevin Hart what Kevin Kat way said changing that.
01:23:31.85
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
01:23:39.84
Bruce Anthony
Particular scene was way better because he's right, there's a lot of things that you could find humor in the world. Rape is never 1 of them never one of them.
01:23:45.91
J. Aundrea
Um, now this is not funny and he's right. They all have a weird face light skin wife.
01:23:55.74
Bruce Anthony
But okay I.
01:23:56.59
J. Aundrea
And I and listen I would like to put my head in a ring I have a weird face and I'm light skinned and I'm single and I'm ready to be taken care of I am ready to enter my soft woman Era and that's.
01:24:09.47
Bruce Anthony
Ah, but but another thing he said was is they don't say anything and that ain't you.
01:24:16.14
J. Aundrea
Completely fine with me if I am be a of every thing I need is being taken care of and I'm on a yacht and all I don't need to say anything for the rest of my life.
01:24:26.25
Bruce Anthony
I just don't feel like you're the type of person that won't voice her opinion I just don't feel like that's you okay, on that notes. What do you want to tell the people out there Jay.
01:24:31.94
J. Aundrea
I will never I never need to say nothing again for the rest of my life.
01:24:43.99
J. Aundrea
A hundred episodes. You see the tiara I am I'm invested I purchased a t r you see it I'm invested now now I believe now I can see the vision. Um, but.

01:25:08.64
Bruce Anthony
Oh.
01:25:20.31
J. Aundrea
I mean I knew we had something but I just I didn't know that we would actually be successful and you know what? and and we'll just get even bigger over the next hundred episodes and and so I'm excited to see it stick around stay tuned.
