I am excited to see you but I be real honest I'm really excited to see Roscoe I'm I'm really excited to meet Roscoe that'sco. That's gonna be interesting drive.

01:58.56
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah yeah I know I know yeah I am not looking forward to it but you know the way that I trick myself is by leaving really really really really early in the morning. So by the time it's like breakfast time. Um. Usually like halfway there. So. That's how I trick myself because if you leave you know it's a 10 hour drive if I drove it straight which I'm obviously not gonna do so it's a yeah so it's gonna be a thirteen fourteen hour trip right.

02:16.68
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, okay.

02:22.58
Bruce Anthony
You can't because you got to pull over to let Lo Roscoe out no

02:35.44
J. Aundrea
If you try to do that in the middle of the day. It's gonna feel like it takes forever because it's the whole damn day. But if you start 2 three o'clock in the morning. It just doesn't feel as long. So yeah, but I know nobody is um.

02:39.41
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, you write.

02:53.76
J. Aundrea
No No nobody cared I'm coming home. They just are excited that I'm bringing roscoe and you know that's that's fine I get it. You know? Um I'm not gonna say it don't hurt my feelings a little bit. Ah it does because I'm pretty great too. But I get it. It's a puppy and he's adorable. And yeah I get it.

03:13.87
Bruce Anthony
Oh don't get me wrong I am going to get tired of roscoe really quickly because I've been without a dog for a while and it's gonna be like okay alright and he hasn't He hasn't been in like a building building.

03:20.80
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

03:30.29
J. Aundrea
No.

03:32.31
Bruce Anthony
So it's gonna be interesting to see how he interacts interacts because my neighbor got 2 yappy ass dogs. Um, so it's gonna be interesting to see you know when he hears other dogs barking. How is he going to react to that.

03:37.43
J. Aundrea
M.

03:45.54
J. Aundrea
And I'll also I should probably lesh train him I didn't at Jeff just occurred to me and I should probably leash train him? Yes, no.

03:51.77
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, that would be really important. Luckily he's so small that you could control him but you have a harness for him right? Yeah yeah, okay, that would be important.

04:04.81
J. Aundrea
Don't have that. Um well I guess who's going to a pets Mark tomorrow.

04:10.25
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, yeah, well you can you could get it off at Amazon it'll be there by the time you leave if you order it tonight.

04:19.33
J. Aundrea
I Want to see the size of that fit. You know what? this is just not here nor there we have a lot to talk about. Um.

04:22.87
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, we like ladiess and gentlemen ladies and gentlemen. My sister is gonna be on one and it is back to back on 1 episodes because I droped my on 1 episode on Tuesday so is gonna be another on one on on Friday so you know what I hit j.

04:29.52
J. Aundrea
I. Yes.

04:42.14
Bruce Anthony
Let me just do the intro to this first topic and then I'm a lists let you go all right? So the first topic is beyonce. Ah her new song Texas hold em dropped and it's finally started getting airplay and on country music radio stations across the nation.

04:42.26
J. Aundrea
Go Okay and go.

04:59.67
J. Aundrea
Um.

04:59.89
Bruce Anthony
Initially a station in Oklahoma refused to play the song but after an online campaign that added it to their rotation now I am gonna give them the benefit of a doubt because I didn't even know Beyonce was dropping company country music. So if I'm a country music station and somebody is asking for beyonce I'm like we're a country music station.

05:10.53
J. Aundrea
Um.

05:17.27
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

05:19.40
Bruce Anthony
No, it would they would have to tell me no Beyonce's got some country music songs. Also that particular country music station was so small that they don't get like record labels. Don't send them records so they had to go out to get the record. So I I'm not gonna say that that was racist.

05:25.39
J. Aundrea
That you.

05:37.64
Bruce Anthony
I'm going to say that that was you know pretty understandable given the situation.

05:40.48
J. Aundrea
Yeah, what when people call in to ah a small Oklahoma country music station and they ask you to play. Beyonce's new song that the gut reaction is gonna be no right because this is a country station.

05:49.24
Bruce Anthony
Are right.

05:57.89
J. Aundrea
You know? and so basically what the station it says we didn't know she had a country song out. We didn't know it was available for us to play now. Most people knew this country song was out because most people watched the super bowl and that's where she ah.

06:17.70
J. Aundrea
Debuted both songs I think there's another song 16 carriages. Um, so she bought ad time or something like that I don't know I actually missed it but I follow obviously I follow her on social media. So I her also oh she put do little country.

06:20.42
Bruce Anthony
Yes.

06:35.56
J. Aundrea
You know and then all the memes popped up. You know black people in Cowboy hats like this is a we you know we coming back to country all of it.

06:41.44
Bruce Anthony
Ah, well I will say I did watch the super bowl but I had to sound off. It was on the second Tv as I was playing video games on other Tv I did not know that she dropped the song right.

06:48.87
J. Aundrea
M.

06:55.57
J. Aundrea
Um, eighty H D Yeah yeah.

06:57.54
Bruce Anthony
You told me and I was like oh Beyonce guy country music song anyway, Texas hold em has topped the billboard's hot country songs chart at number 1 making beyonce the first black female artist to have a number 1 country song 16 carriages is also charting at number 9 on the charts. These.

07:13.70
J. Aundrea
And.

07:17.35
Bruce Anthony
Achievements are significant especially consider historical exclusion of black artists particularly black women from the country music genre. Um, so she's the black first black woman to do this is a really big deal. So I did the intro go ahead.

07:31.20
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, ah it and as yeah and as far as far as I know um, the only other woman to do that unaccompanied.

07:34.84
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, choose your violence.

07:43.83
J. Aundrea
So no collab with another artist was incidentally Taylor Swift so um yeah they are right I'm ah speak to i'ma get to my little rant in a little bit but I want speak to something as you just said about um, black.

07:44.69
Bruce Anthony
E.M.

08:01.97
J. Aundrea
Female representation in country music and it's true I mean you have black male artists like we all know Darius Rucker and Charlie pride. Yes, he was hooty because he was the lead singer and I sit.

08:10.66
Bruce Anthony
Um, yeah, Hooty who was he hooty or the blowfish. Okay, that's what I thought I writes neither one of us knows so so.

08:19.86
J. Aundrea
I assume honestly I don't know you he was the least that you could have just been a name and he and nobody was hooty and nobody was the blowfish but I don't know. Okay, um, you know you got Charlie pride and stony edwards.

08:27.70
Bruce Anthony
It could have.

08:38.64
J. Aundrea
Blanco Brown Jimmy Allen these are all we all we know, black male country singers. But we don't there isn't a lot out there. Black female country singers. So so far from what I found. Especially from the country music community as far as artists are concerned, they're like hey welcome right? They're like welcome. Um well the ones that matter. Um.

09:03.58
Bruce Anthony
All artists.

09:10.48
Bruce Anthony
Well see. That's not Garth is socially progressive so that doesn't count what are the kid rocks and adja Aldean saying.

09:13.34
J. Aundrea
Garth Brooks and them.

09:20.10
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

09:25.36
J. Aundrea
Oh hell I don't know you know I my algorithm won't even allow me to search for anything that they say.

09:28.86
Bruce Anthony
Well I before you go on your rant I could tell you somebody who did have a major issue with it and when I found out about it. It broke my heart John Schnyider now people mightn't be like who the hell is that he was in dukes of Howard he was in Duke's a hazard.

09:43.35
J. Aundrea
I am okay, okay so a rando who doesn't matter. He ain't no Garth Brooks

09:47.80
Bruce Anthony
The original tv show and he was Jonathan Kent on Smallville he was Clark Kent's adopted father on Smallville he well I mean no I mean but he's no no no, no he's not no garf Brooks ah but he made he made it clear that he was not in favor of park. Of pop or r and b artists jumping into country music. He expresses views openly on his appearance on one american news take that for what it is on 1 american news basically saying that you know it's a situation where dogs are marking the territory. Um, and and there has been some other backlash from Beyonce from fans. There was not. You know, being fans of country music. Not really some of them. Not really being accepting which is kind of weird since post Malone is about to drop his fourth country music album.

10:31.20
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, yeah, so.

10:46.48
J. Aundrea
That's in my notes in my notes. No ah but ah, but you're but you're absolutely right? because nobody is saying anything about post Malone is anybodyna Del Rey is is dropping some Justin Timberlake had a crossover hit.

10:46.64
Bruce Anthony
And ah, okay, well I'm sorry let um, let me stop. Let go ahead, go on your rant go.

11:02.93
J. Aundrea
Country music. He's ah he's from Tennessee um, nobody said nothing about Taylor Swift and then there's also a lot of young country music artists who draw on pop and r and b influences. So what? what you're saying is fans of country music.

11:21.99
Bruce Anthony
Some so some some.

11:22.52
J. Aundrea
Who don't want pop and are some fans of country music who don't want pop and r and b artists crossing over is that country music is a 1 way road right? So you guys can pull stuff in butca nobody take nothing out like.

11:39.30
Bruce Anthony
Mean.

11:41.97
J. Aundrea
But so okay I get it I get how it is. That's so disingenuous. Um, because country music is not probably out of all genres country music is not a monolith.

11:45.30
Bruce Anthony
Right.

12:00.20
J. Aundrea
There are so many different ways you can express Americana Music period I mean it covers Blues Bluegrass All of that stuff country music like even within country music. There's so many different sounds because there's different artists who come from different backgrounds and they have different sounds. You got the old school banjo type country music and you have and then you have you know artists like like I grew up on like of.

12:21.50
Bruce Anthony
E.

12:29.26
Bruce Anthony
Originated from Africa.

12:36.40
J. Aundrea
Faith hill and shaniah Twain who were more pop country. Um, and who got mainstream Airplay right? oh.

12:40.27
Bruce Anthony
E. Or kid rock who's rap country and isn't isn't isn't my boy Jelly Row Also Rap country.

12:56.52
J. Aundrea
Oh that's a good question. Ah speak it speak in a rap country I make this little aside because I think it should be noted Nelly's country Grammar was a country album now y'all didn't y'all wast acting like it wasn't y'all was acting like it wasn't.

12:57.55
Bruce Anthony
But go on keep going.

13:15.87
Bruce Anthony
Right.

13:15.91
J. Aundrea
Just because he was rapin. But that was a country album and that boy is a country music artist. Yes, underly underlet My yeah, yeah that it lesson now I know that's from speedy gonzales. Okay.

13:23.97
Bruce Anthony
Ah, yeah, he needs country.

13:32.30
Bruce Anthony
Right.

13:34.96
J. Aundrea
But that I mean his songs were country music they were they were you know with hip hop influences. But I found a.

13:38.39
Bruce Anthony
M. Just just a Fy I jelly roll scored his first number 1 song on country radio with his debut country single son of a center in July of 2023. So yes, even jelly roll who's categorized as an american rapper. Also has done country music again didn't nobody say nothing about about that.

14:02.22
J. Aundrea
And let and hey can I just say this also one of the reasons I like country music is the song titles be just grabbing you son of a stunner that sound it sound like it's good like a sound good Texas hold them.

14:11.30
Bruce Anthony
Son of a center. Well I mean it does right? Well I mean it's a po is poker and she just took poker.

14:20.55
J. Aundrea
It sounds good. You know like well alls I know is a sound like it's good and country music. They have great song titles.

14:30.54
Bruce Anthony
Time out what you just said was country as hell alls I know just stop it. Okay stop I know we talk about country but just stop it all. Lord.

14:32.91
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yes, out know I know I'm buying into it I am I'm in I'm all in on this. Okay so I found this great opinion article on Kx and Kx and Austin by Maya Turner

14:48.90
Bruce Anthony
See.

14:51.93
J. Aundrea
And she listed out the reasons why Beyonce is country music. One beyonce is a texan. Okay, she's a texan she is country as hell and she listened to the country music. She's a texan she yes, okay, um.

14:54.59
Bruce Anthony
Okay, there there you go right? there that's country growing up? Yeah yeah.

15:10.94
J. Aundrea
This is not her first country song anyone who listened to the lemonade album remembers Daddy lessons. Um, and when she dropped that song. Um, there was an article in the associated press where Garth Brooks said welcome to country music like welcome.

15:11.26
Bruce Anthony
O.

15:26.79
Bruce Anthony
Once again Garth can't be your only defense because garf like okay yeah, yeah, what even well blake another social progressive like we got to find them people. We got to find them alltra conservatives that say yeah beyonce come on in.

15:29.11
J. Aundrea
Right? Ah Blake Shelton Blake Shelton right again again. My algorithm won't even let me type it. It'll it. It will auto correct to something progressive. Yeah, it just yeah, it'll autocor correct. So the the way I cant even I don't know where to even find that information. Um.

15:49.75
Bruce Anthony
Ah, Auto Great Ultra conservative Social progressive. No, that's not what I typed. Ok right.

16:04.56
Bruce Anthony
Moco.

16:06.18
J. Aundrea
And 17 she performed at the cmba's with the dixie chicks who then went on to they're just the chicks. Okay, but I don't like the chicks I feel like they no I get it I get it.

16:11.92
Bruce Anthony
They're just called the chicks Now they dropped the dixie. Yeah, they dropped the dixie. Well they dropped the dixie because they didn't like what to stand for and then there was a backlash between the country music community that turned on them. Yeah that that that was actually a thing.

16:27.20
J. Aundrea
Oh yeah, well there there was ah and it's also again socially progressive. Ah so yeah, yeah, um, again this a thing about.

16:29.37
Bruce Anthony
So yep, there you go is there's a common theme.

16:42.75
J. Aundrea
Country music being a 1 ne-way road beyonce has been sampled by country music artists including ah Mickey and I'm gonna butcher this last gutten Reba Mcintyre the chicks sugarland dolly parton has even not the sugar hill gang.

16:57.20
Bruce Anthony
Sugar Hill gang.

17:02.60
J. Aundrea
Even though they are also great for talking about sugar lamp um, even dolly parton ah in an interview with Trevor Noah says she wanted beyonce to cover jolene which is probably 1 of my favorite country songs which lets you know like.

17:03.27
Bruce Anthony
Sugar land. Okay.

17:12.82
Bruce Anthony
E.

17:21.36
J. Aundrea
Like I'm a mainstream country music listener. Don't try to don't don't get the comments or try to like debate me about country music because I'm just gonna be Google in the whole time like if it's all I am not that deep in it. But um, yeah there I think any.

17:32.46
Bruce Anthony
Right.

17:40.86
J. Aundrea
Backlash that she is receiving from country music fans or the industry or what have you? um for them to say we don't want pop and R and B artists crossing over.

17:59.50
J. Aundrea
It's it's such a disingenuous argument. She's not the first Ray Charles had country songs Lionel Richie the pointer sisters you just you know, talked about post Malone ah La of Del Rey yet jelly roll I'm Del Ray is coming out with a country album Taylor Swift who I assume is pop.

18:12.20
Bruce Anthony
Jellyro.

18:19.40
J. Aundrea
But has also had success in country. Yeah yeah, yeah, um I think yeah, there's some component to it that is.

18:19.77
Bruce Anthony
Yes, she's pop. She's I'm trying to think about it the other day. What is Taylor Swift and she's pop more than anything and I'm not a swiftie but she is pop.

18:37.96
J. Aundrea
That can be racial. But I also think it has a lot to do with they know Beyonce is gonna eat and what does she do? She's number 1 on billboard she's got 2 country songs on the country that are in the top 10 like and.

18:49.24
Bruce Anthony
Um, was she's number one. Yeah, that are in the top 10 Yep.

18:57.92
J. Aundrea
If country music loves anything. They love a diva I mean dolly part Dolly Parton is a diva like like you can't they love they love it that glitz the the shiny cowboy hats and the boot from the pen.

19:00.64
Bruce Anthony
I Don't know I don't know that much about country music.

19:11.31
Bruce Anthony
They still wearing rhmestones I don't I don't know if they I I don't know if rmestones is still a thing I don't know. Okay.

19:16.35
J. Aundrea
Know Beyonce go put some re stones. Yes, there's fringe fringe hanging from the jacket. Oh rhinestones are always gonna be a thing till the end of time but ah, there's ah you know she's um. Ushering in a new era of western ware people have been seen. You know she's been dressed in cowboy hats and bolo ties. She showed up to the grammys like that you know she's been wearing ah western style clothing and people are buying it. Why cause it's Beyonce like.

19:49.32
Bruce Anthony
I will say the cowboy had been around ever since Gloria was wearing the cowboy hat and the thong song.

19:51.16
J. Aundrea
Y'all are you.

19:58.74
J. Aundrea
Now The cowboy Hat has a much deeper and richer history than the fricking song Song I numb now we're not.

20:04.30
Bruce Anthony
And big pimp and she wore it in big pimpin as well. Gloria well I'm just I'm just saying the Gloria Warre the cowboy had in the and and big pimpin when when pemp c when pimpey with smoking hot po up put a lean up in my cup. But.

20:24.12
J. Aundrea
Ladies and gentlemen. Um I'm just gonna I'm just gonna walk right past that I'm a walk right past that I'm choosing to walk right on past that.

20:30.44
Bruce Anthony
Ah, what? no fitness and fitness here fit is yeah.

20:40.10
J. Aundrea
Um, so well. So The thing that I think if people give it a chance, especially you know those fans who are who feel like they're opposed to it and it's not racial. Like you literally are like oh here comes a popper R and B artist trying to right encroach on our territory even though each Oh yeah.

21:02.42
Bruce Anthony
Some of it Ai n't racial yes, some of it is absolutely racial. Those have racial undertones when you say encroaching our territory I've already explained to everybody that listened to the the last episode on Tuesday. How. Black people originated both country and rock music and really I explain how they originated all genres of american music comes from black people if it.

21:23.70
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

21:34.70
J. Aundrea
Yeah, and ah and it and it's not us being a funny or a self aggrandizer is just the musical history. It's just American music history just look it up in a book.

21:42.60
Bruce Anthony
Is itself.

21:49.98
Bruce Anthony
Is it self and grandizing or self-ranndizing is it in or grand because I kept saying that I kept saying it on 1 episode and I could have said it wrong.

21:50.40
J. Aundrea
On American music History will tell you.

21:56.67
J. Aundrea
What.

22:03.50
Bruce Anthony
I had to just tell somebody. Um, recently they tried to say that I was using Hyperbolic wrong because they were engineer and I was like no I'm I'm using it right and they were like that's not what it means and I was like yeah no hyperbolic means. Ah exaggerating. Oh it's also and it's also an engineering term for an instrument.

22:15.68
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

22:21.68
J. Aundrea
And nobody talking about that and and a yeah, ah first of all context matters people if I'm not talking about nothing engineering. What.

22:21.81
Bruce Anthony
And I was like okay and I'm not talking about that. And that was a lawyer saw I thought there was good with words had me questioning my vocabulary I was like I know I'd be messing up some words sometimes but I think I think I got that 1 right I looked it up I was like no I got it right.

22:40.64
J. Aundrea
No it. Yeah no, it's self arandizing. Yes, no yes oh I mean sometimes you be sometimes you say there's something wrong.

22:46.42
Bruce Anthony
A granddizing so it's not in. It's not grand it' itself a grandizing. So I said it wrong I sorry ladies and gentlemen out there in the world today. Yeah here right.

22:59.82
J. Aundrea
And that's life and that's coming from me that's life. But I think um, what is important to remember and this is a quote from nationally syndicated country radio host Bobby Jones

23:04.25
Bruce Anthony
That's a.

23:16.88
J. Aundrea
Who has the I heart radio morning show the Bobby Jones show he said with country music. It's all about the message how you are able to present it and the authenticity of it. It's not just an acoustic guitar and a cowboy hat I think the message of being true and honest has stayed the same from the beginning. And I think the beyonce song fits that mold and I a hundred percent agree um but for the people who are just racist I definitely think that there is a segment of that population who literally. Believe that what is bothering them about it is the fact that she is a pop artist crossing over in the country I think there are people who genuinely believe that that's the problem if they have with it not that she's black even though if they dig a little deeper into that.

24:09.34
Bruce Anthony
Discussion black.

24:12.50
J. Aundrea
Right? Um, yeah, that's all I feel about that and and and also she made a point of saying that this album is sort of like an homage to black. American music roots. So like the artist that she's chosen. So for instance like Rihanna and gibbons. Um, who plays.

24:32.10
Bruce Anthony
And.

24:46.80
J. Aundrea
Ah, the banjo in Texas hold em and then in 16 carriages the steel the pedal steel is played by a gentleman named Robert Randolph so these 2 black folks who are in americana or american root music. She's highlighting black roots musicians. Highlighting that the whole renaissance album series is gonna be 3 albums is a tour through black music history and that is what she's giving us and I think. I think it's gonna be amazing I think people should just give her give her a chance.

25:35.37
Bruce Anthony
All right Jay so that first segment it wasn't complete violence I had more violence and venom than you did so that was surprising my violence and venom is still coming from last weekend. So so that's what that's coming from. But.

25:38.72
J. Aundrea
Now.

25:47.29
J. Aundrea
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

25:53.77
Bruce Anthony
If we're going on choose violence and venom this next subject is definitely one that is going to lead to some violence and some venom verbally not physically verbally Allison Russell for those people who don't know who Allison Russell is

25:54.30
J. Aundrea
The.

26:02.96
J. Aundrea
Yeah, obviously yes.

26:10.98
Bruce Anthony
Asil Russell is a canadian singer songwriter currently living in Nashville Tennessee this is important to note musician and activist. She's been a member of various music groups including Poo Girls Pole girls ah birds of Chicago are native daughters.

26:15.42
J. Aundrea
M.

26:29.50
Bruce Anthony
And sisters of the strawberry moon now I don't know of these groups personally um, they sound right? Yeah, it really really really does she released her first solo album outside child and 2021

26:32.12
J. Aundrea
But they sound like you can put it on and smoke a J and just drift.

26:48.62
Bruce Anthony
Her second album the returner was released in September Twenty Twenty three she received a total of 8 grammy nominations. She won one for canadian folk music awards and 2 juno awards I don't know what juno awards are but I'm going to assume that they are pretty important.

26:56.44
J. Aundrea
M.

27:05.11
J. Aundrea
Yeah, it's It's so awards presented by the Canadian Academy of recording arts and sciences. So it's is it Their grammys.

27:07.39
Bruce Anthony
I Don't know what they are.

27:16.82
Bruce Anthony
No, because ah she had some canadian no it was a canadian folk music. So maybe it is their grammys all right once again I want to bring back the fact that she currently lives in Nashville.

27:19.78
J. Aundrea
Yeah man.

27:32.69
Bruce Anthony
Tennessee or roundabouts Nashville Tennessee this is important. Okay, a resolution was proposed in Tennessee state legislator to honor Allison Russell it was proposed by one of the justins from Tennessee Justin Jones y'all know the Justins from Tennessee they were the ones that was kicked out.

27:33.31
J. Aundrea
In yes.

27:46.64
J. Aundrea
Um, yes.

27:50.28
Bruce Anthony
Ah, the Tennessee legislator only to be brought back off of a special election. He nominated this resolution for her grammy win. However, the resolution was blocked by a house republican caucuss chair Jeremy Phon a similar resolution honoring the band fillmore.

27:53.29
J. Aundrea
M. Yeah.

28:09.90
Bruce Anthony
For its grammy went fairmore paramore okay, Paramore that's a stupid name. No no, it's not the Paramore paramoph. No I I was joking. Don't don't attack me.

28:10.25
J. Aundrea
Paramore Paramore? Yes, yeah, no, ah listen black black people. Love paramore. So just tread carefully.

28:28.24
Bruce Anthony
Paramore I am sorry I just never heard of you but I'm old I'm old. That's all I'm old. Um, another resolution was brought up honoring paramore for its Grammy wins that 1 was actually approved this has led to accusations of racism and sparked.

28:29.82
J. Aundrea
Yeah, does her was her.

28:38.79
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah.

28:43.88
Bruce Anthony
A lot of conversation as to why 1 resolution was accepted and the other one was not. It was a white group. It was a black woman. The white group was accepted. The black woman was rejected Russell responded to the situation by calling out bigotry from the tennessee g o p.

28:51.88
J. Aundrea
M.

29:03.73
Bruce Anthony
Because it's not like the Tennessee G O P wouldn't have been accused of bigotry before the Justins faced that um I'll get into more but I want to hear your thoughts about this whole situation.

29:05.97
J. Aundrea
Right.

29:17.80
J. Aundrea
Oh I'm not surprised I mean we just we just you know we talked about it on this show about um the Justins and Rep Gloria Johnson um they were voted on to be ousted from the Tennessee legislature because of their protest ah against gun violence or for gun reform and only Gloria Johnson a white woman escaped ah being ousted so I mean it's not.

29:51.20
J. Aundrea
Like what did they say? oh it was decorum decorum which again feels like a dark whistle. Yeah, not surprising and if you think that um, it's because well Allison Russell she's an activist she has. She's been critical of the Tennessee legislature.

30:08.42
Bruce Anthony
Because once again she lives in Tennessee.

30:09.42
J. Aundrea
Before? Um, yes, yeah, um, so but guess what paramore also a Tennessee Ah Band also has been. Ah, critical of the Tennessee legislature so it was so you can't say it's because of her activism because they did because Paramore didn't have the same ah you know weren't blocked in the same way paramore of no right.

30:42.00
Bruce Anthony
They weren't blocked at all.

30:46.75
J. Aundrea
So Paramore unsurprisingly say young, go young' go to hell. Um, they basically they basically told the ah gp led house ah in the Tennessee legislature to go to hell? um.

30:52.36
Bruce Anthony
So.

31:04.70
J. Aundrea
The lead singer Haley Williams said in a lengthy statement. The blatant racism of our state leadership is embarrassing and cruel myself as well as paramour will continue to encourage young people to show up to vote. With equality in mind so shout out to Paramore. This is also another reason why black people love paramore? Um, yeah me I it's not surprising. Um, again, it's ah it's like the erasure of ah.

31:26.22
Bruce Anthony
Um.

31:37.65
J. Aundrea
Black people particularly black women from a folk or Americana music I had to look it up because she is an American roots music artist and I was like what is that? Well it's actually she does not.

31:50.65
Bruce Anthony
Does she be does she play with the roots the group the band. Okay, all right.

31:57.44
J. Aundrea
But I would love that collab I liked where you I like where your head's at um, no American roots music or Americana covers a broad range of musical styles including Blues Bluegrass Folk Gospel and traditional country among others so is.

32:10.41
Bruce Anthony
Actually all of those fall under the umbrella of country because country modern country is an evolution of all of those genres.

32:14.53
J. Aundrea
M.

32:24.77
J. Aundrea
Oh.

32:25.29
Bruce Anthony
If you listen to Tuesday's episode when I told you the history of country music and why black people were the creators of it. Yeah.

32:34.50
J. Aundrea
Yes, yeah, um, so yeah, as a a brilliant black woman being ah being blocked. Yeah that's not gonna stop her. It's not gonna stop her hustle and. Nobody has taken the Tennessee state legislature. Seriously yeah, you do, but nobody's surprised.

32:52.97
Bruce Anthony
Well I mean I mean you have to take us seriously because this is a state legislator. Um so what about nobody's surprise. So obviously if they blocked this resolution more specifically the house republican caucus chair Jeremy Fayon obviously he would give a reason why right? No, he didn't in a punk maneuver. He blocked the resolution bouncing jones resolution back to committee where many objected consent items often meet their demise. In other words.

33:11.61
J. Aundrea
Yeah, no, no.

33:26.17
J. Aundrea
Yes.

33:29.20
Bruce Anthony
He blocked it is gonna go back to committee is going to die jones wrote in his social media. Um, that Russell has worked tirelessly to foster an inclusive Nashville through her music and continues to make black history here in Tennessee once again.

33:30.55
J. Aundrea
Yes.

33:47.70
Bruce Anthony
If the argument was from the house ah from the from the state legislator that she's not she doesn't live here then they that would be a legitimate argument. However, she lives in Tennessee paramore is based.

34:00.14
J. Aundrea
M.

34:04.27
Bruce Anthony
In Tennessee that's the reason why they were resolutions brought up of both groups because they won Grammys both of them one was blocked. One was approved the the approved one was the white group. The blocked one was the black female. There is nothing.

34:13.86
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

34:22.35
Bruce Anthony
To be confused about any of this and that's not all Nashville was known for this week because last weekend in downtown Nashville not some small town in Tennessee not some backwoods town in Tennessee in downtown Nashville.

34:28.28
J. Aundrea
Oh boy.

34:42.13
Bruce Anthony
Ah, neo-nazi group had a March in broad daylight middle of the afternoon they're out there marching I was curious I would take a little detour I was curious because I saw this in the news and you know I get my news from various different news sources.

34:53.71
J. Aundrea
Um, okay.

35:01.28
J. Aundrea
It's right.

35:01.61
Bruce Anthony
So I was very very curious and I'm about to take a detour and I'm trying not to get us canceled but I'm trying to make a point. Um, but I'm trying not to get canceled so ladies and gentlemen just listen to what I'm saying please hear what I'm saying okay.

35:05.94
J. Aundrea
Okay.

35:16.59
J. Aundrea
Oh ah, you know that you know there's gonna be a so a segment of the population that just will not heed that warning. Yeah and go.

35:20.40
Bruce Anthony
Yeah I know I know I know they will but I'm gonna say what I'm gonna say anyway these Neo-nazis are obviously Anti-semitic correct.

35:31.48
J. Aundrea
Yeah, that's literally the main thing that makes you a nazi.

35:34.30
Bruce Anthony
Right? right? So I saw this in the news. So I went to one new source to find out if it was at all in any of the headlines or any news story and what was that new source.

35:48.40
J. Aundrea
And yeah.

35:52.10
Bruce Anthony
Fox News was not in on their website. Absolutely at all dominated on everybody else's websites Nbc Cnn did stories on their main broadcast Fox didn't do anything at least on foxnews.com

36:00.70
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

36:09.11
J. Aundrea
No car.

36:11.41
Bruce Anthony
But but but they were quick to call out anti-semitism through colleges and other companies and things of that nature Fox News was but didn't point news to a neo-nazi group.

36:22.40
J. Aundrea
M.

36:30.32
Bruce Anthony
That is marching in Nashville Tennessee what does all of that mean what that means is is they care about anti-semitism or they care about jewish people when it's important for them to point fingers.

36:35.36
J. Aundrea
M.

36:48.45
Bruce Anthony
Somebody or some groups that they don't like but they're not going to point fingers to the politicians that are actually supported by these groups case in point nobody on Fox News talked about how they were neo-nazis.

36:55.58
J. Aundrea
M.

37:06.95
Bruce Anthony
And the state of Florida that had swastikas and neo-nazi flags right next to Desantis and Trump flags they're not going to bring that up but Harvard Yale Ivy league such institutions that they have a problem with.

37:13.84
J. Aundrea
No.

37:26.48
Bruce Anthony
They are quick to see the quick to point out these institutions. These people are Anti-semitic I Just want people to pay attention to the news and see the slant that they're trying to do either you care about Jewish people completely and totally.

37:31.36
J. Aundrea
N.

37:44.91
Bruce Anthony
Or you don't there is no great area for being against anti-semitism either. You're against it all the time or you're against it. None of the time Fox News likes to pick and choose they didn't with this very major thing.

37:51.33
J. Aundrea
M.

37:59.71
J. Aundrea
Well. Well let's let's be clear. Fox News is a tool of the conservative party and the conservative party in this country does not care.

38:04.81
Bruce Anthony
And they should have.

38:24.17
J. Aundrea
About Jewish people. They don't support or ah, not support Jewish people. They don't care. They don't care about children. They don't care about women. They don't care about immigrants.

38:36.49
Bruce Anthony
I won't say everybody I'll say I'll say there's a large. Ah okay I yeah yes, only because they only watch Fox News

38:39.70
J. Aundrea
What we're talking about the the Fox News crowd

38:46.40
J. Aundrea
Yeah. Right.

38:53.66
Bruce Anthony
So they're only seeing what Fox News presents to them and this is the point I'm trying to make Fox News gives them information that Fox News wants them to have to push a certain agenda and they become indoctrinated because if you see something all the time.

38:57.76
J. Aundrea
You're right.

39:12.35
J. Aundrea
Well this the thing that I I think I want to get you to understand is that when you see Fox News what you don't see is the quotations around news right? like it's not. It's the the whole station is a tool for propaganda. Yeah.

39:12.46
Bruce Anthony
You believe it to be the truth.

39:23.72
Bruce Anthony
M. Oh Oh yeah, I know that why why you you talking to me? are you talking to the audience you're talking to me in the audience cause I know these things. That's the reason why I brought it up. Okay, okay I Just want to let the audience know that I know that I'm hope I'm trying to enlighten you in case, you didn't know that but I'm going to assume most people that listen to this podcast.

39:31.87
J. Aundrea
Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ah it is it? yeah.

39:46.30
Bruce Anthony
They already know that yeah they already none and yeah.

39:46.90
J. Aundrea
Probably that they already know that um and like ah yeah, like I said they don't care either way in any of the they don't care either way about abortion. They don't care either way about they are selfinterested so it.

40:00.51
Bruce Anthony
Yes, Fox News is a business.

40:04.18
J. Aundrea
What whatever is going to further their self-interests. They'll be on that side of the issue period Um, they don't actually care.

40:10.31
Bruce Anthony
Yeah. Because I could tell you this article there was nothing about this article or this story that was on Fox News when I first heard about it because I heard about it before you send me the article I think I heard about it sometime last week. It was actually.

40:24.90
J. Aundrea
M.

40:32.77
Bruce Anthony
Tennessee was on the map this past weekend cause the neo-nazi thing happened and then this happened the state legislature which is just also another bad look I know it happened that the March happened before but they had to go for permits because one of the Justins was down there matter. Of fact, the justin that put this.

40:33.30
J. Aundrea
In.

40:48.34
Bruce Anthony
Ah, resolution together for Allison Russell was down there counter protesting the neo-nazis and even gave a speech on some court. Maybe the courthouse steps or something like that so they knew.

40:50.80
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

41:05.12
Bruce Anthony
State legislator knew that this was going to happen and then they still didn't pass this resolution. It's a bad look for the state of Tennessee and let me tell you I love Memphis I would move to Memphis none and no I moved to Memphis.

41:16.67
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah I.

41:22.60
Bruce Anthony
Um, I'm now I need to check out Nashville because Nashville look like it might be popular not because of the neo-nazis because you know Allison Russell is down there and you know Justin's the Justin's just be popping up in Nashville and I heard Nashville is dope.

41:24.98
J. Aundrea
I hear Nashville's fun

41:32.65
J. Aundrea
yeah yeah yeah I don't I don't think you're wrong about that. Um, so anyway, shout out to Allison Russell shout out to paramore ah shout out to ah. Justin ah it was it Justin Jones that was it was Justin Jones yeah and Gloria Johnson let you know we' be forget about Gloria but Gloria be right there with them I saw glory at the source awards.

41:52.55
Bruce Anthony
Yeah Justin Jones here J J Gloria do be right there with them you write Gloria beer. No no, you didn't yeah.

42:08.14
J. Aundrea
No because I don't even think they got the source awards I don't I'm pretty sure they don't have source award I Actually I don't know. Um.

42:10.59
Bruce Anthony
Ah, they might they might I don't know I don't know.

42:18.50
Bruce Anthony
But shout out to Allison Russell and shoutout to ah to paramore for standing their ground and being like now you're not gonna do no disservice to Allison and think we just gonna pop up miss us with all that and and I love that. That's how we.

42:22.10
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

42:27.62
J. Aundrea
Yeah, a misses.

42:33.46
Bruce Anthony
That's how we get people to look at themselves when you when you make them be accountable for their actions and you stand up. So yes I like that.

42:33.82
J. Aundrea
B s.

42:42.39
J. Aundrea
And she said something and I love it. She said the Tennessee G o p blocking it I take that as a compliment.

43:00.30
Bruce Anthony
In case, y'all didn't know I'm black y'all and I'm black y'all and I'm bliggedly black and I'm black y'all? Ah why? why did I Just do that. Well, that's a little cut from the movie C before. But more importantly, we are pointing out.

43:06.62
J. Aundrea
Um.

43:17.20
J. Aundrea
Yes.

43:17.61
Bruce Anthony
Black excellence throughout this month and I told everybody I'm gonna be pointing it out all year long cause y'all gonna stop giving us the shortest month of the year this year it was an extra day but even in the twenty eight days is still shorter than 30 we got. We got jipped out of 2

43:29.49
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

43:37.42
Bruce Anthony
Days. So I'm going to do this year round and the person I'm going to talk about today you most of the people out there probably don't know he's the inventor of this I'm talking about Lonnie George Johnson who is Lonnie George Johnson well he was born October six 1949 a boomer

43:55.55
J. Aundrea
They.

43:57.13
Bruce Anthony
And also consequently I said I think Gen Z will be the next great generation. But the boomers are actually the greatest generation. Not.

44:04.74
J. Aundrea
Um.

44:09.44
Bruce Anthony
What is constituted as the great generation which are those people born in 192 to like the 1920 s those people that went off to world war two. It's actually the boomers because you're not gonna tell me that the greatest generation was the generation that didn't do nothing until they got punched in the mouth and then all of a sudden decide to fight.

44:14.72
J. Aundrea
In.

44:26.27
J. Aundrea
You not gonna tell me it's boomers very sure. Absolutely absolutely true.

44:28.11
Bruce Anthony
The boomers. Well the boomers were the ones that were fighting for civil rights for women's rights. They were the ones protesting the Vietnam war they were the ones that made change in this country so we might we might knock them now because they're old and crusty and.

44:43.92
J. Aundrea
Yeah, they got they got old and they forgot what they did when they who they were when they were younger.

44:47.75
Bruce Anthony
Well, you know that's kind of what happens or or did they not get the appreciation of which they deserved and maybe a little bitter about it.

45:01.30
J. Aundrea
What what else? do you need? Besides G I bill and cheap education and what else do you need you own your home outright.

45:06.70
Bruce Anthony
No, but think about it think about it. They get dragged by this younger Gen No they get think about it. They get dragged by the younger generation. They say the generation before them which is labeled the greatest generation called them degenerates and hippies and needed to get their life together so they were. Shitted on by the the previous generation shitted on by the the generation after him, they never they have never gotten that credit for the social progress that this country has made under their watch.

45:25.76
J. Aundrea
M.

45:38.73
J. Aundrea
Yeah, they have and I'm sorry oh you're a generation that gets shit on by the one before and after welcome to the club I'm sorry but literally everything going wrong in this country. The media loves to blame on millennials even when it's not us. It's Gen Z case.

45:55.24
Bruce Anthony
When it's not Gen you mean gen x not Gen Z.

45:58.50
J. Aundrea
And point no gen z case in point they just put young people under the umbrella of millennial but it's incorrect because millennials are in their 30 s and 40 s we have children and mortgages. So when I was seeing like especially like during the pandemic.

46:06.52
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, this is in 3

46:16.96
J. Aundrea
You know, young people at the beach and stuff like that and they're like here are these millennials not heeding advice excuse me, We're home working and now trying to teach our kids because they can't go to school. They gotta do homeschool and we just realize we can't stand our spouse because.

46:25.46
Bruce Anthony
Nenisru.

46:34.30
J. Aundrea
Now we stuck an house with him so we tried to buy a puppy to break the tension and now we got this bad dog in the house like no mo. Yes, yeah, that's that's it the dick move. But um.

46:35.64
Bruce Anthony
Um, kick.

46:38.18
Bruce Anthony
Oh don't a lot of people return them. Bad dogs that pissed me off that pissed me off. Yeah.

46:53.60
J. Aundrea
Nobody gets more crap from society than millennials and we didn't earn it and we don't deserve it. Yes yes, sorry Lenny George Johnson

47:01.65
Bruce Anthony
You know who got a lot of crap Lenny George Johnson during this segment we started we I'm sorry Lenny George Johnson anyway let's let's talk about it.

47:13.60
J. Aundrea
Let's circle back to what carter g woodson fought for Negro History week black history month.

47:19.77
Bruce Anthony
So born October six 1940 and 90 s an American Inventor Aerospace engineer and entrepreneur of course he was born in mobile Alabama he earned a b s.

47:29.68
J. Aundrea
Yes, of course.

47:36.94
Bruce Anthony
That's like a b a but it's a bachelor of science in mechanical engineering because a lot of people don't know what BS is they don't I'm so no, never mind he earned a BS in mechanical engineering in 1973 a master's degree in nuclear engineering in 1975 from tuskee university.

47:37.83
J. Aundrea
You.

47:45.20
J. Aundrea
It's bullsh. Oh yeah.

47:56.30
Bruce Anthony
He holds an honorary ph d in science from tuskegee university he's a distinguished. He has a distinguishing engineering career career, not career with the US department of energy. Well he had a career when I tell you what he invented.

48:04.72
J. Aundrea
You could have had a career.

48:12.27
Bruce Anthony
He ah distinguished career with the US department of energy. He worked for Nasa ah and the US air force before devoting himself full time to inventing I'm a get to what he invented but during his time at Nasa from 1979 to 1991 johnson worked on a variety of projects including the air force missions lab.

48:20.49
J. Aundrea
M.

48:31.15
Bruce Anthony
Developing a nuclear power source for the Galileo mission to Jupiter. But that's that's not what he invented in 1989 he came up with what all millennials gen xers.

48:35.55
J. Aundrea
Cool, Very cool.

48:49.98
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yes, or if you black Suer Soaker Yeah yes, yes.

48:50.67
Bruce Anthony
Gen Z played with the Supersooker water gun.

48:59.20
Bruce Anthony
So right? Maybe black is super soca. Yeah, we for some reason we ain't say super. So we said Superirker the prototype combined a PvC pipe Acrylic glass and an empty plastic soda Bottle. Ah. The super so of the gun is manually pressurized air to shoot water with great power range and accuracy. Ah this was completely different than the punk water guns that we used to have that that basically was nothing.

49:26.73
J. Aundrea
Now our childhoods were built on them little Dallas Store squirt pistols. It was just about the fun. It taught us.

49:33.22
Bruce Anthony
That didn't that didn't hit nobody. Okay, you couldn't shoot. No, you had to be right? Yeah, no, you had to be right up on somebody to hit somebody. What.

49:46.49
J. Aundrea
Delve how to sneak up on somebody because you it was a close range. You know the little squirt god they was about a 22 I would say that you had to get close. You had to get point blank range.

49:53.11
Bruce Anthony
They was they was worse than the 22 you had to get real close. You had to put you had to. They had to be contact. You had to be gun on skin contact for it to have for it to hit his target but when he came out this super soaker.

50:05.95
J. Aundrea
Yes.

50:13.30
Bruce Anthony
You could be at great distances and shoot and shoot the gun now it it sold later but it didn't sell a whole lot because the soup the first super circle went on sale and ninety I said the 2 superuor the first super sucker.

50:13.35
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, yeah.

50:31.32
Bruce Anthony
Went on sale in 1990 and was originally called the power drencher now I don't ever remember the power drencher and and and that does not sound as cool as super soer.

50:36.60
J. Aundrea
No I don't. Yeah, super soker there. Yeah, it's the alliteration of the two s's it. It rolls off the tongue as yeah, super sober.

50:50.40
Bruce Anthony

What have you and the other person feels like you don't feel any pain from that that you're not bothered by it.

57:36.70
J. Aundrea
In.

Yeah, if I go through the stages of grief. You ain't gonna know about it now that's necessarily probably not healthy, but but that's the way I deal with stuff you leave me alone and so for those people out there that were once my friends.

58:19.26
J. Aundrea
Yes, yes. A.

58:26.50

And are no longer my friends but for some reason to still listening to the show and still follow me on social media even though I'm not gonna respond back to you or if I do respond back to you cause I will if you send something to me I will say something. It'll just be real short. Typically 1 word. That's also a passiveressive thing that I do to get back at people just know.

58:34.48
J. Aundrea

When you get a puppy people don't care about you anymore. They only care about your puppy and that's less' okay, that's part of it. That's part of pet ownership and you know just just ride the wave.
