11:30.56
J. Aundrea
They were at.

11:38.70
J. Aundrea
M.

11:43.66
Bruce Anthony

12:15.71
J. Aundrea
What? Well it that was it. It was a joke video. But yes, oh yes, she's a ah content creator. She makes up say she wasn't actually a part of no.

12:20.40
Bruce Anthony
What was a joke. How was we mean as a joke video did I get fool by the internet.

12:28.97
Bruce Anthony
Oh she wouldn't actually so I wish I wish that you had told me this before.

12:33.20
J. Aundrea
She was pretending. Oh I just I just ah pulled it up from the rundown and I saw ah Twitter has a little note underneath the video I just I was just reading it as live. No keep it in because you know that this is.

Bruce Anthony
Ah, La and gentlemen and I'm not gonna cut it. Yeah I'm not gonna cut this out. This is ah this is ah but but you know what that? Yeah, but you know what though this this brings it to a very very important point and you know I criticize people all the time.

12:57.61
J. Aundrea
And.

13:02.91
Bruce Anthony
For getting stuff from the internet and not completely vetting it and here I am got something from the internet and was absolutely fooled because I absolutely believed that this was what now there was absolutely somebody who fell off the stage that did happen but the person posting the video did not.

13:09.50
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

13:15.17
J. Aundrea
Yes, yes, that happened yes.

13:22.65
Bruce Anthony
Fall off the stage but the content creation was still funny because she portrayed the person. Ah that fell off the stage talking about lying on a resume and saying that actors and actresses oftentimes lie on a resume saying they could do certain things that they can't do and and when they get the job that they'll just figure it out.

13:26.72

But.

13:58.17
J. Aundrea
Well could because I figured it wasn't real I Just saw that letter I mean the little notice under that. Yeah.

14:00.13
Bruce Anthony
The content was still funny. You know I really wish and Jay I actually sent this to you earlier as a week and and and and you could have been like hey Bruce you know this? This is the content created this. This wasn't real.

14:12.37
J. Aundrea
Oh to to be I thought I thought we were in on I thought we were both in on the joke. Oh oh well I mean these these performances are weeks and weeks of rehearsals like you can't teach yourself to skate.

14:17.67
Bruce Anthony
No I wasn't but I mean I am 43 so I guess you know I mean I'm getting older.

14:30.94
Bruce Anthony
Learn. She's to whoever was still rehearsing all that time still fell off the stage So that's so.

14:31.50
J. Aundrea
2 hours before and think you're going to perform at the super bowl.

14:38.50
J. Aundrea

21:34.10
Bruce Anthony
Not as much as yeah because he's.

21:42.27
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, because I mean like like he said and I know we were talking about monate but just talk about cat what he said is he and Kevin Hart kind of started at the same time and Cat Williams was the star Kevin Hart was not the star I have always thought Kevin Hart was funny.

21:45.77
J. Aundrea
Um.

21:49.41
J. Aundrea
M.

21:55.81
J. Aundrea
Yeah, this work.

22:02.10
Bruce Anthony
Not as funny as cart Williams um, and but but Kevin knows how to play that game the politic game and some people are just not into that politic game and.

22:08.68
J. Aundrea
The politicking. Yeah yeah, no, they just can't do it. It's not in them to put on a smile and say yes, sure I can do that I'll take that sure.

22:24.47
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, yeah.

22:27.36
J. Aundrea
It's not in them to do that. Even though you know when people do that it's it's not always just because there's some step and fetch it like it's it's also because I know I gotta take my lumps now so that. I can put myself in a position like Kevin is done that I can make the decisions I yeah yeah.

22:47.51
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, and that's ah and and that's what monique said as well. You know that she took her lumps because ah I think something that gets missed and a lot of the laymans out. There would be like well there's a lot of money when she said that her and um. Her co-star for her sitcom. We're making $55000 a piece per episode for a highly rated television show. Most people would look at well that's a million dollars a season that's great. Conversely, you had the friends stars in.

23:05.10
J. Aundrea
M.

23:17.52
J. Aundrea
M.

23:24.66
Bruce Anthony
The last season I believe was 2000 making a million plus per episode and it but Jerry was also the executive producer and Jerry's a little different Jerry's a little different because that's a.

23:29.90
J. Aundrea
And I can't even remember what Jerry Seinfeld was making by the end.

23:44.23
Bruce Anthony
The parkers are a hit show. Parkers isn't an iconic show like Seinfeld is I wouldn't say friends is iconic either. Um I wouldn't the parkers are not even as iconic as like Martin.

23:44.73
J. Aundrea
And.

23:52.27
J. Aundrea
Okay.

24:01.81
Bruce Anthony
Or the fresh prince If we're talking about black sitcoms or a different world or the cosby show. But it's in the next here. It's a hit show. It's a.

24:09.75
J. Aundrea
I think it also depends on the generation because we weren't really the moishia generation like we were no like that moishia or like Moishha was on monique the you coast the parkers is a spin off of moitia.

24:17.82
Bruce Anthony
Monique.

24:21.62
Bruce Anthony
But I remember yeah but this is spinoff after a couple of seasons I was watching moisia when a first aired because me and her are the same age so when they she had the tv show I was watching it the parkers on the part.

24:28.80
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, yeah, but there are people who like they grew up the way we grew up on Martin or yeah markers. Yeah, boy is 1

24:41.56
Bruce Anthony
Is how they grew up on the parkers and don't get me wrong if you go back and watch those parker episodes hall Laious Halllarious ok

24:48.30
J. Aundrea
Boy Monique Canti Von oh who is professor ogil v I forgot his name. The.

24:56.90
Bruce Anthony
I remember him from the Tv show dream on that's because that was dream worn was like a nasty sitcom on Hbo which wasn't porn but was kind of like porn for a eight nine 10 year old boy. Ah.

25:01.52
J. Aundrea
Yeah Dorian Wilson that's it Dorian Wilson

25:09.48
Bruce Anthony
Yep, and don't forget ah they had other characters but the lone white girl on the show was ah on blossom she was 6 from blossom um, just to say that the cast has some diversity but 1 person.

25:18.31
J. Aundrea
Yes, yes, Yes, yeah, yeah, is just that That was all you needed. That was all you needed.

25:28.87
Bruce Anthony
They were. They were at the community there they were at a community college and it was 1 person but you know what friends had 1 black person the one for the entire run and then they changed the character things the same character but they just pick 2 different black women to play the same character anyway, anyway. Um.

25:37.77
J. Aundrea
Yep.

25:41.23
J. Aundrea
Right.

25:46.35
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, ah she was talking. She was speaking a lot of truths and she was throwing heavy hitters out there see when Kat was attacking people. He was attacking you know Steve Harvey is a heavy hitter he is but not as heavy as Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey

25:49.83
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

25:58.23
J. Aundrea
Um, and.

26:01.52
J. Aundrea
Bright.

26:04.31
Bruce Anthony
Will you come at the Queen you best not Miss and she did not miss because she had receipts and you know what Torajah P Henson said the same thing when they were talking when she was talking about what she got paid and the.

26:08.71
J. Aundrea
Now.

26:19.60
Bruce Anthony
And the surrounding atmosphere on the remake of a color purple. She said the same exact thing is funny because monique says why didn't people hear you when you were saying these things a long time ago and she said the same reason why you know people weren't paying attention to cat until he was on your show. It's the messenger.

26:21.99
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

26:36.95
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah.

26:39.21
Bruce Anthony
And I remember telling somebody I'm not gonna throw them under the bus but I remember telling somebody 1 time. It's not what you say it's how you say it sometimes the messenger can be perceived as something that's abrupt.

26:45.44
J. Aundrea
M.

26:53.27
J. Aundrea
And.

26:55.80
Bruce Anthony
And forceful and you can't receive what it is that they're trying to telling you even if they're telling you the truth. You can't hear it whereas Taraja P Henson is is is complaining and this was Taray has been like everywhere you know and she's crossed over.

26:58.32
J. Aundrea
Right? yeah.

27:09.61
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, yeah.

27:14.70
Bruce Anthony
As well. That's another thing taraji has crossed over monique has never crossed over even her Oscar is from essentially a black movie so in that movie did not precious, never crossed over not for real for real.

27:22.86
J. Aundrea
Yes.

27:29.50
J. Aundrea
Are people everybody saw it just because it was an Oscar and contender. But I think if it yeah yeah, and and when it it played at cons and and I believe it did well, there's.

27:34.76
Bruce Anthony
That was a reason why they saw it They didn't they didn't see it initially just to go see it. It wasn't.

27:47.48
J. Aundrea
As well. So yeah.

27:48.18
Bruce Anthony
Oh because it's a great movie I mean ah ah the young lady that played precious was fantastic. Monique was fantastic. Mariah Carey was fantastic. It was just it was a good move.

27:58.53
J. Aundrea
Yeah, shout out to the Borine Bay um she was amazing in that role and and so was monique monique deserved that Oscar because she was she played that role ah with such gravitas and like.

28:04.68
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, she did.

28:15.00
J. Aundrea
She gave that a woman who was horrible. Um, she she made her ah ah sympathetic. She made you know you had some empathy for her. Um, even though she was a truly horrible person.

28:22.14
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, she do.

28:30.86
Bruce Anthony
Oh absolutely the worst person and another thing from this monique interview that I think is is important is some people in the black community after cat came out and after monique came out.

28:34.64
J. Aundrea
1

28:48.86
Bruce Anthony
Been screaming and yelling why are we telling each tearing each other down in public. You know what I don't agree with that I don't think it's us tearing each other down in public I think that and if it was guess what every demographic.

29:03.21
J. Aundrea
And.

29:06.19
Bruce Anthony
Tears each other down and and public it is not that big of a deal but when something is wrong. It needs to come to light or else. It don't are our so never get fixed.

29:12.90
J. Aundrea
Yes, and we don't go ahead. No and we in our community have a very terrible problem with keeping things. Hidden.

29:24.15
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, don't I don't I have no yes and.

29:30.58
J. Aundrea
For some weird respectability politics because we would rather we would rather keep predators in our family than have the outward to have.

29:40.15
Bruce Anthony
A.

29:47.19
J. Aundrea
Anything tarnish our outward appearance and so if you think that Monique didn't get hate from her own people after say hell I That's like I said I was like at first I was like girl please and then I was like wait Check yeah.

29:50.13
Bruce Anthony
Yep yep, always.

30:05.10
Bruce Anthony
In here.

30:05.90
J. Aundrea
So what is wrong with an Oscar award winning a prolific standup comedian because to this day I can put on queens of comedy and I die.

30:18.97
Bruce Anthony
By the way she was to queens a comedy what Bernie was to the Kings of comedy. Don't get me. Don't get it wrong. All of them were queens but she was the queen bee.

30:27.77
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, she was she yes even some more had to say because some more was initially the closer. She say you're the closer. Just like Steve Steve was initially the close of Kings of combat. Nope no no now they they told him yet. Well I think she's right.

30:43.56
Bruce Anthony
I mean because we heated but Steve didn't say you to close it. They had to they had to just say they had to just say um, you got more on this did you get it all out the system.

30:57.89
J. Aundrea
She said this and she was like if I was white I'd be Melissa Mccarthy she's absolutely right that she didn't get the same. Yeah, she she didn't get the same opportunity. She didn't get the same to be on the same trajectory.

31:00.99
Bruce Anthony
I Love that part because she's absolutely right? when she said that I was like boom there you go it all makes sense to me now.

31:15.14
Bruce Anthony
E.

31:17.44
J. Aundrea
Um, even though it is amazing. She was only in l a for three months before she got her own show. That's amazing. That's talented and she's Hilary like just and can't help it one of those people that's just funny. Um.

31:20.41
Bruce Anthony
Right? Yeah, that is pretty amazing but she's also really really funny. Yeah, yeah.

31:34.59
J. Aundrea
But yeah I Do believe that she has gotten the unfortunate title of being difficult to work with I think she earned it but not in the way that people are giving it to her. She earned it in that she is demanding what she knows that she's worth. And that makes you difficult to work with because what they want is somebody to do it for free What they want or to do it for less. So yeah, not just complete, not just complacent complicit.

32:01.14
Bruce Anthony
They want somebody to be complacent. You should be thankful for the opportunity. No I'm not thankful for that after right.

32:12.48
J. Aundrea
They want you to be to buy into it to buy into this bullshit. Sorry this bull stuff of this is how much you're worth This is how much it costs to get you and you'll take it and you'll.

32:21.63
Bruce Anthony
There do.

32:32.37
J. Aundrea
Do promotion and press for us and tap dance and she said no.

32:38.77
Bruce Anthony
Do I completely agree. Ah she um so for those that don't know in that in that interview.

32:41.80
J. Aundrea
What do you think about her son's video.

32:52.85
Bruce Anthony
She doesn't really talk. She says my baby's my baby's my baby. She doesn't really talk about the fact that her and her oldest son are really not on the best of terms he came out with a little video talking about some of the reasons why he and his mother are not on the best of terms.

33:10.30
J. Aundrea
M.

33:12.18
Bruce Anthony
And I will tell you as being the oldest not just the oldest ever If you're if you're in a group of siblings. Each sibling has a different parent even though they're all the same parents. They're the same people.

33:23.90
J. Aundrea
Um, right? yes.

33:28.40
Bruce Anthony
But they get different versions of them. So each relationship when you when you have siblings and you say mahamma dad were great to me that was to you that doesn't mean that I got that same version of them and I will say being the first born is often one of the most difficult.

33:33.34
J. Aundrea
Right? Be right.

33:45.44
Bruce Anthony
Because you're literally the test dummy. The most mistakes are typically done with the first born because it's the first go around you. You don't you don't by the second one you try to apply the same scenario sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't work because that once again is a different person.

33:45.57
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

33:52.25
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

34:02.72
J. Aundrea
M.

34:04.97
Bruce Anthony
So each child is different but at least it's it's just like you know trying to rolloscape right? The first time you try to Rollos Escapee you go bus your ass. But as you continue on the practice. You'll get better. You'll try to do tricks and sometimes they won't work out so you'll try different things pass down by each child.

34:08.62
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah.

34:23.49
Bruce Anthony
Sometimes it'll work sometimes it wouldn't won't work but initially that first child is the test dummy so they don't have a good relationship plus she was young and that's typically what it is the first child is typically that parent is young as they get older become more mature and they have more and more children once again.

34:27.35
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

34:35.91
J. Aundrea
M.

34:41.94
Bruce Anthony
Later children get different versions of that parent and yeah, he was just like yo. You haven't really tried to resolve any of these things and you always say to me hey when you're ready to talk come to me. Why is it that I'm the child and I have to come to you to fix an issue between us. You're the parent.

34:42.62
J. Aundrea
M.

34:55.34
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah.

35:00.19
Bruce Anthony
So I felt a lot of what he was saying but she also had receipts because she went on some social media site and said look at these text messages that I don't reach out to you hear the text messages of of me reaching out to you but he might just be done with it.

35:15.77
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

35:18.60
Bruce Anthony
Right? because he said that in that in that video is like I'm done with it I'm cool. We tried it didn't work out and he's he was also right just because it's your blood. Don't mean that you gotta accept whatever it is right? We've all got family members that we've turned our back on because it's just like you know what.

35:28.25
J. Aundrea
Right.

35:35.19
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

35:35.96
Bruce Anthony
Can't deal with it. No more. You're not good for my mental emotional help I don't care if we're blood that whole thing with blood should stick together forever. No not if it's damaging your mental and emotional wellbeing and he's just like we got so much. He's got his own kids. She's a grandmother.

35:49.44
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

35:53.23
Bruce Anthony
And so he's like no I'm I'm done trying to focus on a relationship between us. We've been there done that never works out. You played a victim. Um, so I'm not gonna have that and parents will play the victim parents will say well I didn't have this and I didn't have that. That's not the point your life is not my life.

36:01.73
J. Aundrea
Um.

36:06.65
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

36:11.95
Bruce Anthony
Just because I might have it easier for you easier than you did economically doesn't mean that my life was easier. There are different problems that come from different walks of life. So ah.

36:17.22
J. Aundrea
Yeah, and and and beyond that you know, not even that we're different people when you get that response of well I didn't have that. Okay, well how did that make you feel.

36:34.72
Bruce Anthony
In there.

36:36.50
J. Aundrea
And do you want me to feel the way you did you know that's the simple question I your you know, but you know parents memory and a child's memory are gonna be different right? like ah that's just the truth but that was the 1 thing about her interview that I was like wa want I felt like.

36:44.71
Bruce Anthony
Always there.

36:56.20
J. Aundrea
Her attitude toward it was trash. You are the parent here's your child if you owe him an apology because you were not there to mother him the way you should have been. You don't get to just say.

36:58.84
Bruce Anthony
Um, near near.

37:12.89
J. Aundrea
I Told him I'm sorry I'm not gonna apologize forever. He can come to me? No, that's your child you brought him here right.

37:17.13
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, and how did you apologize? Did you apologize by saying I'm sorry I wasn't there I was going through some things that's not the proper way to apologize. There's a book that teaches you how to apologize? there's like 5 things.

37:32.70
J. Aundrea
M.

37:34.90
Bruce Anthony
Right? There's acknowledging you're wrong I'm going I'm paraphrasing y'all I'm paraphrasing. It's acknowledging you acknowledging that you're wrong saying that you're sorry asking for forgiveness saying that you're corrector behavior or ah, ah and or won't repeat it again and there's something else. There's something along those lines So a lot of times.

37:49.99
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah, you.

37:54.33
Bruce Anthony
People will just be like sorry sorry for what what are you? sorry for? I'm sorry that you felt that way. That's not that's not an apology then you're not sorry. Yeah.

37:56.40
J. Aundrea
Right? What she said she says she didn't give a punk apology. She did you know she acknowledged the things that but but it doesn't stop there like because that was years of neglect. It's gonna take.

38:14.58
Bruce Anthony
Um, right.

38:15.16
J. Aundrea
Years to make that up. It's the same thing where you you talk about people losing weight and people are like it's been 20 minutes and I have not lost £10 yet it didn't 20 minutes to put it on. It's not gonna take you 20 minutes to take it off. You don't when you owe somebody an apology.

38:26.58
Bruce Anthony
Ah.

38:31.80
J. Aundrea
And you say you really you want to maintain the relationship you have if you want to maintain a relationship you're looking at me like that because you think I don't give good apologies but the thing of it is.

38:41.10
Bruce Anthony
Like it lay Jim if y'all on the audio platform and not on the video platform i' give my sister a face kids I'm gonna take a quick detour at though her under the bus.

38:48.80
J. Aundrea
You know you you always do this but I give good apologies You'all are never paying attention because you always have it in your mind and you'll I'll say something and I'll be wrong and I'll be wrong and I'll be like oh that's my bad I'm I was wrong and.

39:00.92
Bruce Anthony
Um, okay maybe nowadays.

39:05.35
Bruce Anthony
Hour.

39:08.64
J. Aundrea
Ah, you just be like oh every time John a apologizes. She'd just be like sorry and that's not true. Yeah.

39:13.86
Bruce Anthony
Okay, when you you okay I will give you that I can't remember the last time one that you had to apologize to me. Um, yeah I can't remember the last time you actually had to apologize to me. But when you were younger when you were younger and you were I would like yo J you did this and that and you'd be like sorry. That's how you would apologize back a day now you went no child you you was like in high school.

39:31.96
J. Aundrea
Yeah, because because because children don't have a real concept of what even? ah yeah, a teenager doesn't have a real concept of what it means to give a good apology.

39:43.40
Bruce Anthony
I Always knew how to give great apologies kick.

39:46.89
J. Aundrea
No, you didn't you just you just say a bunch of stuff and you talk for a really really long time.

39:55.23
Bruce Anthony
But it sincere though it's are as help.

39:58.23
J. Aundrea
It has some abuses like can we get this over with like who's you're doing too much but I thought I that was the 1 thing where I was like you're being a hypocrite because you ex you are fine.

40:11.11
Bruce Anthony
A.

40:17.44
J. Aundrea
Dragging out what happened between you and Tyler Perry and Oprah and you'll talk to anybody who will listen about it and you're calling for them to be accountable and to come to you with be accountable and pay you and all that stuff but your son has to come to you.

40:19.81
Bruce Anthony
Right.

40:36.20
J. Aundrea
Everybody's got to come to you. He doesn't have the right to be as upset as you are and you mad about money. He's mad about his mother.

40:46.95
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's that was the part of the interview I was just like ah Monika I was rocking with you for so long. But.

40:55.37
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah mac.

40:59.16
Bruce Anthony
This ain't gonna be ah, a situation where you keep getting on your high horse and don't have some humility about your own stuff.

41:03.15
J. Aundrea
And that's another thing about her. She also buys into this Bs of black respectability politics and oh don't go out wearing a bonnet and don't go doing this and that excuse me ma'am. But if you're not paying for the hair that's underneath this bonnet. Get get out of my face. Don't tell me how I can lead the house has some respect for. Don't nobody say that to other people when they're just wearing yoga pants and up boots and a messy bun. Nobody's telling nobody. Nobody's saying to them. Why don't you.

41:24.78
Bruce Anthony
And.

41:33.42
Bruce Anthony
That.

41:39.50
J. Aundrea
Put on a dress or something but we got to be we got to be respectable in the way that's respectable in your definition of respectable which has nothing to do with my character it again has to do with the facade.

41:46.40
Bruce Anthony
It's that old school. Yeah yeah.

41:54.47
Bruce Anthony
New there.

41:57.55
J. Aundrea
Save it but up the other stuff I believe her I definitely believe her it well I'm never been a fan of Tyler Perry so y'all know I believe that y'all know what that that's actually not true.

42:03.56
Bruce Anthony
Ah, and yeah.

42:06.79
Bruce Anthony
You really have not I'd be like that's how a parent move was good and you like I'm not watching.

42:14.15
J. Aundrea
I initially was a fan of Tyler Perry I saw his plays several times I mean front row and then I started to pay more attention to the story. Yes, it's always the same.

42:17.57
Bruce Anthony
Okay. Okay, yeah, the story is always the same. Yeah.

42:30.69
J. Aundrea
And that the strongest female character in any of his work is him She is the only independent self-sustained Medea is the only self-sufficient independent.

42:37.90
Bruce Anthony
Um, yeah.

42:49.42
J. Aundrea
Woman in all of his work. Everybody else had to be saved by some man does usually shamar Moore and a bad cornrow wig.

42:53.59
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, that don't bring up Somema Pan co wrote all that's enough of this. Let's get to some black inventions. Next.

43:05.16
J. Aundrea
Yes.

43:12.88
Bruce Anthony
So we go from Monique and her messiness to another black fact and a black inventor. So on the last episode I talked about the inventor of the potato chip.

43:15.49
J. Aundrea
Think.

43:27.41
J. Aundrea
He yes I saw that because you say we wouldn't have no Doritos who wouldnt have no cheetos.

43:32.12
Bruce Anthony
no no cheetos no nothing and then I talked about the fact that everybody has a ring or security camera but the entire concept was created by Marie Brown a black woman.

43:44.35
J. Aundrea
Um, and.

43:47.17
J. Aundrea
Yes, and I did know yeah I do know but I'm I'm going to say I don't so that you can tell the audience. No.

43:50.68
Bruce Anthony
You know what else I didn't know that you know what else black people created.

44:00.76
Bruce Anthony
Okay, well if you know just tell now if you know just tell people because the gas mask is black people created the gas masks and and I bet you're wondering to yourself the gas mask What is that I'm about to get to it. So.

44:07.00
J. Aundrea
No I mean I know because I saw the rundown for the show. Yeah.

44:15.59
J. Aundrea
Um.

44:20.36
Bruce Anthony
Garrett Morgan was the pioneer of the gas mass he was born in 1877 ah and let's let's talk about what the gas mass actually did so there were safety concerns Morgan witnessed a triangle shirt waist company fire in 1911

44:39.55
J. Aundrea
Which was a huge huge is ah the Triangle shirtwas company that fire since so many people died that's like a huge thing in history that fire now. Yeah.

44:39.79
Bruce Anthony
Ah, where.

44:48.67
Bruce Anthony
Well I didn't know about that now that's you know and I'm the historian one hundred and forty six garment workers tragically lost their lives due to inadequate safety measures this kind of sparked his interest and put a driving a battery in his back to feed to see how can we save lives. This was the basis of what he wanted to do. He wanted to save live so he created the gas mash which was designed to prevent smoke inhalation a problem a problem that has stymied inventors for years smoke inhalation is responsible for about 77% of fire related deaths.

45:09.77
J. Aundrea
Anyone.

45:26.65
Bruce Anthony
Mostly from carbon monoxide poisoning Morgan created a mass that that proved it's worth in 1916 during a national gas pocket explosion. It was one hundred and twenty feet beneath Lake Erie I believe us in ah Cleveland I believe lake area is in Cleveland.

45:45.48
J. Aundrea

Bruce Anthony
Yes, it is in Cleveland ah, the explosion, the explosion occurred during work on Cleveland's newest Waterworks Tunnel The Blast Left 11 turn workers dead and 11 of 18 rescuer rescuers also died due to a lack of proper safety equipment. Desperate to save people's lives. Ah the Cleveland police turned to Morgan and his gas mask invention Morgan and his brother frank we can't forget about Frank because you know siblings oftentime siblings oftentime get forgotten in these great inventions Marie Brown

46:14.61
J. Aundrea
Please don't forget about frank.

46:24.45
Bruce Anthony
Created Whatt was Cctv and later became security cameras that going down evolution became a ring clan ring cam Alber Brown her husband was right there with her so we can't not acknowledge him. We can't not acknowledge Frank Frank might not have had a hand in the invention but he had a hand of saving lives.

46:30.72
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yes, yeah, right. Frank Frank was there.

46:44.68
Bruce Anthony
Ah, he and his brother frank was there so Morgan and Frank drove down to the lake front and successfully rescued several men all because of his invention. How does it work. The gas mass known as the Morgan Safety hood and smoke protector. Had several unique features that set it apart from other mask of its time it had a canvas hood. The mask was a canvashood that covered the entire head. It had 2 breathing tubes that hung low close to the ground. The design took advantage of the fact that hot air and therefore smoke and toxic gases rise. The tubes drew in cleaner air from closer to the ground. He also had wet spons wet sponges not spons wet sponges. It was to cool the air being breathed by the user and a charcoal filter and that was used to remove the toxins.

47:35.55
J. Aundrea

He's won numerous awards and 1914 he received the first grand prize at the second international exposition of safety and sanitation for the invention of the gas masks for his bravery at lake area disaster in 1916 he received a Carnegie medal and the medal of bravery from the city of Erie. He was made an honorary member of the international association of fire engineers. Let me repeat that again. He was made an honorary honorary member of the international association of fire engineers why because he saved a lot of lives. He saved a lot of firefighters.

49:40.73
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, like all of like all of American music.

50:00.25
Bruce Anthony
No.

50:11.13
Bruce Anthony
Yes, we invented with all forms of music in this country is originally from black people everything? Well no even ah, country music was.

50:13.45
J. Aundrea
American music. Yes. Or a derivative of.

50:27.81
Bruce Anthony
Think it was started at started out as bluegrass because Bluegrass was originally originated by black people. Rock and roll was originated by black people even though these are genres now that are dominated by white people. They were created by black people.

50:28.62
J. Aundrea
E.

50:36.91
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, and we're also a hundred percent still in them like there are still black rock bands. There's black country singers like he ain't the only 1

50:49.61
Bruce Anthony
Um, yeah, Ho He ain't the only one So that's my black fact for the for that. But you said you already knew about this.

50:54.32
J. Aundrea
He's not the only one I think no I knew about um there was something else. Oh I knew about the ring camera I knew about that I did not know about the gas mask. Well yeah I know the technology to.

51:07.42
Bruce Anthony
Who well hold on hold on. She didn't come up with the ring camera. Yeah, but ah, but essentially she did what she created is the ring camera the the major difference between that and.

51:14.40
J. Aundrea
Yes, yes, yes, yes.

51:24.50
Bruce Anthony
The ring camera is technology is just evolved and it's connected to a wi-fi so there are wires running all around the place. But that's the ring cam wasn't this incredible original creation now people Ben had security cams says I mean.

51:25.37
J. Aundrea
Yeah, threat right.

51:37.56
J. Aundrea
Now. Yeah.

51:43.17
Bruce Anthony
Hell ah, Tony Montana and Scarface had security cams in the 70 s yeah yeah, yeah, he connected it to the wi-fi but but not to take away his credit somebody had to connect it to the wi-fi and he did that.

51:45.84
J. Aundrea
People. Yeah I mean having a video doorbell is been. That's that's not new. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

51:59.76
Bruce Anthony
And everybody on Shark tank turned him down and now he's a member of the Shark tank council so hey look you never know. But I'm just saying Originally, it's created by a black woman and not even an engineer. She was a nurse just trying to find a way to be safe when she got home.

52:02.79
J. Aundrea
You never know. Don't don't give up on your dream. Yeah.

52:16.51
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

52:18.88
Bruce Anthony
But but that's enough we gave Marie Brown her flowers this is Gared Morgan Garrett Morgan saved well I guess so didn't Marie Brown

52:21.92
J. Aundrea
Yeah, he's he continues to be big. He continues to because gas masks are still used by first responders fire fighters right? yes.

52:31.14
Bruce Anthony
Not his particular risk not his particular design but his design is the genesis of effective gas mask without him.

52:41.64
J. Aundrea
Yes, and and you said this but most deaths out of fires are not from being burned. It is from smoke inhalation.

52:50.48
Bruce Anthony
Which by the way if I was going to die from a fire. Let me pass out and peacefully go to sleep as opposed to being burned alive.

52:54.24
J. Aundrea
M.

53:03.80
J. Aundrea
Okay Bruce because there's literally a million people who would choose to burn a lot. No one would no one wants to do everybody wants to go peacefully, that's what are you talking about? hey hey just one letter by no.

53:12.68
Bruce Anthony
Um, I'm just saying I just wanted out there any ethos all right.

53:22.97
J. Aundrea
Ah, will love to die peacefully and not violently what? yeah oh yes, that's us rates the full.

53:24.66
Bruce Anthony
Yes, yeah. The only time I want to die violently is if I'm saving somebody's life then that just makes it more Heroic I don't want to die peacefully save us some on his life. Yeah yeah, I'll be a martyr but just make sure that'all build me a statue once I'm martyred. Okay.

53:34.56
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah that I don't mind being martyred I don't mind being Martyr. Yeah yeah, yes, and let it look like let it look like me like don't get.

54:35.81
J. Aundrea
Oh I think I do hear about that. But no I'm talking about the one that was chiseled out at a rock the facial features that don't quite hello. Oh no hello look I some out of good times.
