Unsolicited Perspectives

About The Guest(s):
Bruce Anthony is a podcast host and speaker who focuses on social justice issues and current events. He is known for his candid and humorous approach to discussing important topics. J. Aundrea is Bruce's sister and joins him in this episode.

Summary:
Bruce Anthony and his sister, J. Aundrea, discuss various topics including the recent wildfires in Maui, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the rise of Christian nationalism in America. They highlight the importance of taking care of the planet and following Jesus's teachings, rather than succumbing to divisive ideologies. They also touch on the recent Virgin Galactic space tourism flights and express their reservations about the risks involved.

Key Takeaways:

  • Christian nationalism is a form of white supremacy that distorts the teachings of Jesus.
  • Jesus preached love, nonviolence, and humility, while Christian nationalists support violence and power.
  • The church should focus on love, justice, and service to others, rather than promoting divisive ideologies.
  • Separation of church and state is crucial to maintaining religious freedom and preventing the dominance of one religion over others.
  • Space tourism, such as the recent Virgin Galactic flights, raises ethical questions and may not be worth the risks involved.

Quotes:

  • "Christian nationalism is a tool of white supremacy."
  • "Jesus taught love, justice, and service to others, not violence and power."
  • "The church should focus on the teachings of Jesus, not divisive ideologies."
  • "I'm pretty sure that's impossible. I'm not doing the second one."

20:36.14
Bruce Anthony
But Race has a lot to do with this country just because you don't want to talk about it because it makes you uncomfortable I don't give a damn I'm gonna keep talking about it because it's real life. You can tuck yourself away in a fairy tale world where you can say to yourself I don't see color which is bullshit everybody sees color. Um.

20:36.50
J. Aundrea
Yeah, it's yeah.

20:44.24
J. Aundrea
Here.

20:52.30
J. Aundrea
Everybody does.

20:55.77
Bruce Anthony
You can. You can try to say I'm not racist and that could absolutely be true. You could still also be bigoted. There is a difference between the 2 Ah that doesn't necessarily make you a bad person. It could be a blind spot.

21:01.29
J. Aundrea
Um, right? yes.

21:10.55
Bruce Anthony
Technology and media and this country has conditioned and brainwashed everybody to believe that black and brown is bad when the good guys in the movies are dressed. They're wearing white.

21:18.66
J. Aundrea
In.

21:25.36
Bruce Anthony
The bad guys in the movie. They're wearing black everything associated with colors white and black everything good comes through the day. Everything bad happens at night. Everything associated with color white is good.

21:28.80
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

21:40.80
Bruce Anthony
Black is bad. You've been conditioned to believe that so you had to first acknowledge it within yourself. Oh I might have a blind spot kind of like when your internet is bad and you don't want to admit it.

21:43.45
J. Aundrea
No, right.

21:49.40
J. Aundrea
No that and yeah, a exactly kind of like when your internet is bad and you don't want to admit it. That's you yeah exactly right? You're exactly right? and and I agree I agree with that sentiment.

21:58.93
Bruce Anthony
Now.

22:08.50
J. Aundrea
Yeah I The whole thing with color blindness. First of all me being black is not a problem that's not an issue just the reaction to be being black. That's the issue I have no problem with being black effect I Love it You like it's it's.

22:12.88
Bruce Anthony
Thinking. Right? I Love being black right? It's so.

22:26.87
J. Aundrea
We are a flex and a vibe. So it's I That's not my my color has never been. The issue is not my issue is your issue but it's not my issue. You won't problem. It's the reaction to the color. That's the problem. But yeah.

22:32.39
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, you want got prime there all right? This is oh yeah.

22:46.70
J. Aundrea
Ah, academics is a clown but that's it.

22:49.81
Bruce Anthony
Ah, he's a p word in the B word but that's enough of this daily data in let's get to the real stuff next.

22:59.60
J. Aundrea
There we go.

23:01.31
Bruce Anthony
All right says I don't know you don't really pay attention to evangelicals there.

23:07.78
J. Aundrea
No because I believe organized religion is a it is the very definition of a cult. But yeah.

23:14.54
Bruce Anthony
I mean it is but don't don't tell evangelicals that they're a cult. Don't say don't tell catholics that theirre a cult Jesus started a cult. A cult is not necessarily a bad thing is's just really, he had some followers.

23:22.41
J. Aundrea
This is just didn't even start it I mean he was already he would he was Jewish I mean he was already in a he was already a religious person like it. He didn't start religion.

23:35.78
Bruce Anthony
Gay. Yeah yeah here he he did. We did start an off brand of religion. Well he did.

23:41.31
J. Aundrea
No, he didn't even start that he was really just telling jews to how to be better jews and somebody took it and said we're gonna start a whole new thing. All your traditions Jesus we're not gonna do any of those passover hankah all that we're not doing that we're starting new stuff. And name it after you. It's called Christmas we're gonna celebrate the day you died. We know we want you? We know you want to bring that up again. So like what and get it completely wrong. Not even closed.

24:03.88
Bruce Anthony
Um.

24:09.62
Bruce Anthony
And get your and get your birth date all wrong, completely wrong? Um, so I ran an article on Npr and ah and a car article. Not the article. The article is called. It may be the article.

24:23.66
J. Aundrea
Maybe the particle.

24:27.84
Bruce Anthony
Ah, he was a top church official who criticized Trump and he says christianity is in a crisis. So the top official was Russell Moore he's a former leader of the Southern Baptist convention which by the way the Southern Baptist convention got a lot of ish with them. Maybe we'll get to it. But.

24:46.72
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

24:47.30
Bruce Anthony
That's like a whole separate segment segment that I don't want to dig deep into that I want to talk more specifically about christianity in America christian nationalism and Jesus's teachings but he was the first one that he was the former leader of the Southern Baptist convention and he was the one that was speaking out against Donald Trump

24:56.28
J. Aundrea
M.

25:06.79
Bruce Anthony
And the churches and the church's own mishandling of sex abuse crisises. Um, and it was basically forced to resign the main thing that he was attacking was Trump's embrace of.

25:14.20
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah.

25:26.54
Bruce Anthony
Christian nationalism and what christian nationalism basically is um is white supremacy I know I use that word often, but that's basically what it is.

25:32.97
J. Aundrea
Yeah, no, that's an apt That's an apt description. Yes.

25:42.74
Bruce Anthony
Um, so if you want to know with what the actual definition of christian nationalism is. It's basically saying that the country was founded on Christian principles should be. Based on Christian principles and the ones who founded this country were white. So therefore this country is based on white christian principles hence Christian nationalism and white supremacy all wrapped up into 1 thing and he was saying that.

26:14.57
J. Aundrea
Benefit.

26:18.60
Bruce Anthony
As the evangelicals and and not just evangelicals a lot of southern but southern baptists um were falling into this trap of Christian nationalism. They were falling further and further away from actual Jesus's teachings whereas there's the Jesus never taught.

26:22.70
J. Aundrea
And.

26:36.87
Bruce Anthony
Um, Jesus taught us to turn another cheat Christian nationalists go with attack and destroy. Um Jesus um talked about faith but not really nationality. He didn't talk about nationality.

26:38.60
J. Aundrea
Right? yeah.

26:51.28
J. Aundrea
No.

26:55.90
Bruce Anthony
Christian nationalists support violence and power where Jesus was nonviolence and humility think Martin Luther King right he followed the teachings of Jesus Grace because he was nonviolent reverend but he was nonviolent I am not nonviolent.

27:02.31
J. Aundrea
Um, right right? A referend? Yes, yeah.

27:12.71
J. Aundrea
No I'm now in confrontational but I will I'm not kind of I don't look for a fight I I will do I will defend myself. Yes.

27:14.72
Bruce Anthony
I tried to follow the teachings of Jesus that's not non confrontational. Yeah, but that's no, that's not non confrontational. You are a confrontation there.

27:30.90
J. Aundrea
I'm I'm not I'm not confrontational but I will put my hands I will put my hands on you? Yeah I will defend myself I'm not going I don't I don't want a problem but I'm not I'm not worry when it comes okay.

27:34.45
Bruce Anthony
If somebody stepped to you is, but that's can that's confronting.

27:46.56
Bruce Anthony
Are you you still in my line that I stole from fifty cent where you where you botched it. You botched it that well it was a bad paraphrase. What he says is I don't want no problems I don't want no problems. But if you want a problem.

27:49.69
J. Aundrea
And though yes I know but that I paraphrased it.

27:59.75
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah because I don't have a problem when it comes. That's what he said? no, he's you slap me in the face I'm a term mother I'm a term to another cheat.

28:04.60
Bruce Anthony
No problem. So so but that's not Jesus' ' teachings Jesus too tells us turn out cheek I'm just saying. Jesus focused on love justice and service to others and neighbors right? and contrast Christian nationalism is cultural supremacy white culture supremacy christian nationalism.

28:18.85
J. Aundrea
Let's slap me again I guess I don't know. Jesus was a socialist. Yes.

28:36.37
Bruce Anthony
Nationalism threatens separation of church and state Texas right now are passing laws to bring the bible back into the schools not private schools where I went to a private school and we had to say the Lord's prayer it was a private catholic school.

28:37.00
J. Aundrea
Yes.

28:47.75
J. Aundrea
All right? yes.

28:51.73
Bruce Anthony
That's that's something different. They're trying to bring it to the public schools and that's not a separation of church and state. So I and that's another thing what christian nationalism does and doesn't recognize Judaism Islam um

28:55.10
J. Aundrea
Not and you alienate children who are of other races I mean other religions.

29:10.58
Bruce Anthony
Buddhism it is hinduism any religion and and might I remind people the original people that no, but but it might not remind people the original people that came here.

29:11.80
J. Aundrea
Hinduism Any of the they not even that found it fond of catholics.

29:28.43
Bruce Anthony
To come to America the puritans were coming here for religious freedom. That's what this country was founded on religious freedom. Not religious freedom as in you can press your religion on others.

29:35.18
J. Aundrea
Um, right correct.

29:45.73
Bruce Anthony
But freedom in the aspect that you can worship and have faith in your religion.

29:53.14
J. Aundrea
And and another point and this is probably gonna get me a lot of hate but christianity particularly in this country is simply a tool of white supremacy. Um, it was.

30:04.38
Bruce Anthony
Yes, it has been.

30:07.65
J. Aundrea
Yes, it was used to justify enslavement. It's been used to justify a lot of horrible things particularly in this country. Yes.

30:14.56
Bruce Anthony
Well, that's what they say that's christian nationalism. That's what he's saying that he's saying it's spread more throughout the church because the church has now become politicized in today's climate in America and.

30:27.12
J. Aundrea
Yes.

30:32.81
Bruce Anthony
You'll hear these evangelicals that say they follow the teachings of Jesus that are talking about well we need to kill all those Democrats what like that's wait a minute that that I don't know it's but.

30:38.57
J. Aundrea
Know I don't know what Jesus you know, but but but my Jesus I don't know what god you serve but the one I know didn't say none about that.

30:52.31
Bruce Anthony
Right? So you're right like christianity has been used as a tool in this country and not just this country in other countries as well. But but what we're talking about America right now right.

31:01.36
J. Aundrea
He write, but the found but the foundations of a lot of our institutions come are born out of this idea of Christian nationalism and white supremacy.

31:11.26
Bruce Anthony
Yes, yes, and and what he was saying was to paraphrase article. He's kind of acknowledging yes that these principles have have built up these systems but the church was.

31:30.23
J. Aundrea
And.

31:30.94
Bruce Anthony
Ah, safe haven. The church was hey people have taken our religion and they're going up on the pulpits and they're going in the offices and they're they're bastardizing christianity. But that's not us in the church. We're going to teach the teachings of Jesus. And it's gotten so much. It's gotten so bad that he says in this article that other pastors have come up to him and they and they talk about the teachings of Jesus and people in the congregation come up to these pastors after the sermons and say hey you shouldn't teach that sermon anymore.

32:05.52
J. Aundrea
What what are those liberal talking points. Yeah.

32:06.23
Bruce Anthony
And the pastor is like excuse me. What are those liberal talking points that you're talking about ah Jesus sounds like a socialist those those those teachings don't play today. These are the actual quotes that the pastors are talking about the congregation.

32:20.10
J. Aundrea
Let him.

32:22.27
Bruce Anthony
That are here in the United States and if you follow politics at all at all, a lot of these politicians prop themselves up as being christians and having the faith of Jesus and his teachings. All the while preaching hate all the while creating.

32:36.78
J. Aundrea
Right.

32:41.46
Bruce Anthony
Crazy fences in a real grind to stop crossings but putting barbed wire underwater and people are getting cut up trying to cross the river not treating human beings as human beings anymore and that's not Jesus's teachings

32:42.23
J. Aundrea
M.

32:53.35
J. Aundrea
Yeah, because I could distinctly remember something about loving your neighbor. But you know what's you know? what's funny. It's really really simple if you do not follow the teachings of Jesus Christ you are not a christian.

32:58.98
Bruce Anthony
Let me know. Okay, break it down.

33:11.31
Bruce Anthony
There.

33:12.98
J. Aundrea
Period and you need to stop acting as if you are, it's not gonna get you into heaven baby day. The lord is watching not what you do, but not what you say out your mouth. But what by what you do? Okay so you can go and you can sit in that church every sunday.

33:19.10
Bruce Anthony

33:27.88
Bruce Anthony
Um, well true.

J. Aundrea
And is not gonna get you any closer to the throne. It's just not. You're you are not a Christian and you need to stop masquerading as one. Yes.

33:41.51
Bruce Anthony
What But we know that because we grew up in the church. Ah, and we know about the hypocrisy of Hypocrisy Hypocrisy Good God The hypocrisy of people that attend church sending their butts off.

33:53.86
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah.

33:58.96
Bruce Anthony
But are quick to point out other people's sins and not acknowledge their their own thinking that they're better than because well I'm on the choir I'm in the I'm in the deacons meeting. So I'm on the deacons bore. Ah I'm the pastor because you know.

34:00.73
J. Aundrea

Ah, just when people Oh great you so crazy. Ok, ok yeah.

40:51.94
Bruce Anthony

41:04.96
J. Aundrea
No oh I'm a sinner I'm unless you know right now.

41:11.85
Bruce Anthony
And so I'm not accusing these people of being I Well I am accusing of being hypocrites I am actually accusing them being hypocrites because they believe that their way is better and that they are holier than now. Um, but they ain't no better.

41:15.79
J. Aundrea
Yes.

41:22.98
J. Aundrea
While simultaneously not following the teachings of Jesus Christ who who would look at some if Jesus came back today I think you said this before if Jesus came back today.

41:28.43
Bruce Anthony
Um, and it's sad because.

41:35.85
Bruce Anthony
A.

41:39.35
J. Aundrea
He would go right on back. He would just go. He would like you know what he right? He he would just go right on back like is is he like I've been here for 5 minutes and I've been calling everything but a child a god and I am a child a god so I don't even know like.

41:41.20
Bruce Anthony
I say he would go right back but that's funnier.

41:49.65
Bruce Anthony
I Don't know it was I had a child a guy I don't know if it I don't know if it's it would be like that everywhere though I think that'd be specific.

41:57.79
J. Aundrea
Jesus would enough i.

42:04.42
Bruce Anthony
I only know what I know and I know living here in America what it's like I think if you.

42:05.58
J. Aundrea
I think very few people would recognize him I think very few people would recognize him for who he was if if Jesus can listen I think very very few people.

42:18.92
Bruce Anthony
No.

42:24.13
J. Aundrea
Will recognize this Jewish Middle Eastern man in sandals walking around ah healing the sick. Ok no, not even close because that's definitely.

42:28.90
Bruce Anthony
Ah.

42:34.52
Bruce Anthony
Way Man, he's not blind hair and blue eyes when that's that's what they got. That's what they got painted I Wonder what he's would I wonder.

42:43.38
J. Aundrea
Definitely not what they look like in ah I don't know if you've been to Bethlehem but that's not what they look like.

42:49.79
Bruce Anthony
What are the portraits like of Jesus in other places is it universal portrait that we see in the church is that the universal portrait or what is it like in Rome and and.

42:53.67
J. Aundrea
No, he looks yeah he looks different depending on the art of Jesus aways but depicted looks different depending on where you go.

43:05.73
Bruce Anthony
But we made him blind hair and blue eyes I'm talking about I'm talking about us as in America.

43:08.59
J. Aundrea
No, we didn't do nothing I don't think Americans did that I think there's Renaissance portraits of him that are blonde and blue.

43:21.84
Bruce Anthony
O We gotta we gotta we I gotta do some research on that I would do some research on that ladies and gentlemen and I just thought of something that I didn't do in ah in the prep work that that would be interesting sometimes that's what happens in these conversations they take it to a new place and now I want to learn more? um.

43:26.78
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

43:33.48
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, yeah.

43:39.19
Bruce Anthony
But yeah, it's sad. What's going on in the church and how prevalent this christian nationalism is is spreading and how politicians are openly saying it. We've had Trump say we've had Marjorie Taylor Green say it's a lot of politicians talking about christian nationalism.

43:47.44
J. Aundrea
Yes.

43:57.23
Bruce Anthony
And when they say those words Christian nationalism they're not. It's not what you think it is I Just explained to you what it is. It's white supremacy. It is nothing else matters except for Christians and white people Christian nationalism.

44:03.33
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, yeah.

44:18.97
Bruce Anthony
All right? si today something cool happened I was what I was worried I was worried we were going to have the same reaction to this and no I think I think we do because of what you just said I think we got to say reaction.

44:22.68
J. Aundrea
Stupid happened. Yeah, no, we don't I don't Okay, okay.

44:38.68
Bruce Anthony
It? Okay, so just to give you guys. Ah, ah what I'm talking about the virgin Galactica established by Richard Bronson in 2004 is for space for get galactica.

44:46.52

44:55.11
J. Aundrea
Um.

44:59.10
J. Aundrea
Not not the galactic that that.

45:03.60
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, the galactic the galactic you went't go let us Sla ah, the virgin galactic was established by Richard Bronson at 2004 for space tourism. Um, he did this first commercial flight.

45:15.27
J. Aundrea
Which just in itself sounds stupid but continue.

45:20.14
Bruce Anthony
Oh okay, it it doesn't sound stupid to me but his first commercial flight was in June 29 of this year two thousand and three with italian air force members but his second commercial flight launched today augs is tenth Twenty Twenty three carrying private astronauts now they say the astronauts. But.

46:17.88
Bruce Anthony
Kesha and Anastasia what's crazy is what's crazy is this is two Americas because Kesha and Anastasia Ai n't difficult for me to do now Shritfa for whatever that last name is can't do it. But if it was a different person on this end.

46:28.89
J. Aundrea
No yeah. Yes, and I believe a key a kesha. No, right.

46:37.14
Bruce Anthony
They would screw up keha screw up keesha right now. That's the singer all right? So ah, Keesha and Anastasia they won a raffle. They're the first mother daughter dual in space. They're Caribbean Jamaica I think they're from Jamaica.

46:54.64
J. Aundrea
Yes, no Antigua Antigua um she is the youngest person. Yeah.

46:56.60
Bruce Anthony
Ah, or antique was skew excuse me Myers is the youngest Astronaut she astronaut but youngest person to to go in space. She's 18 years old Godwin is the first olympian in space. Um, he was ah all right. He was an olympian.

47:11.51
J. Aundrea
Um.

47:15.00
Bruce Anthony
He he won in this olympian he was in the olympic his ninety s he was in ah behold on hold on he was ah he he was in the olympics in 1972 and he was a canoeist look man but you know what.

47:15.50
J. Aundrea
Did he win I don't it didn't say he we ever said he won.

47:26.60
J. Aundrea
Deaths all right.

47:30.82
Bruce Anthony
He's the second person with parkinson's disease to go up there.

47:32.37
J. Aundrea
And let me tell you some you know I was about to say some dumb vo cannuing but let me tell you ever been in. You ever tried to row a canoe I have and no I gave up so I I can put yeah I completely understand I gave up.

47:39.87
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, yeah, I've read a kind of almost died.

47:49.93
J. Aundrea
Halfway through like I completely understand that is a does hard to do.

47:52.97
Bruce Anthony
Look I was in mephis and I was ah in my visited mephis with somebody that I was hanging out with at that particular time and she suggested that do we go canoeing and I was like okay, cool. So Memphis. Yeah.

48:04.50
J. Aundrea
No definitely somebody white. Yeah.

48:11.75
Bruce Anthony
Put my business out there like that like I don't disease. We didn't need to put my business out there license. But so we're canoe and and this is like this little River that it's this little lake that leads to a River and the canoe instructor was saying hey look we're gonna turn and get on this island. Be careful.

48:13.78
J. Aundrea
I.

48:29.70
Bruce Anthony
Don't go too far out because this current moves fast and if this River catches you in that current. It's going to be held to try and catch up with you and you're gonna take off So don't do that So she was in the front and I was in the back because the front stairs and well it was a.

48:30.26
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

48:36.21
J. Aundrea
Yeah, that just leads me to believe that I don't need to go if there needs to be a warning prior to us leaving.

48:47.91
Bruce Anthony
It was cool doing it. But as we were going. She's in the front I'm in the back. So she's staring and I'm the power I'm the motion behind it right? So I'm I'm pushing it and I'm like all you need to turn you need to turn you need to turn because we close.

48:55.50
J. Aundrea
Yes, yes.

49:02.93
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah.

49:04.87
Bruce Anthony
And finally and finally instead of rowing forward I started rowing back to try to make sure that we wouldn't get into the river because I was like we about to die we brought to that and she was like you've never yelled at me before I was like yeah we were about to die. She's like I get it I understand ah, but no, he had parkinson. He's the second person with Parkinson's Disease.

49:14.20
J. Aundrea
Um.

49:16.37
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

49:24.22
Bruce Anthony
This is also ah the first majority female spaceflight was 4 out of 4 females out out of of 6 um most the most women on a single space flight was four so it tied so it's not the first. So what happens is.

49:26.57
J. Aundrea
Guest. Yeah.

49:40.73
Bruce Anthony
It's the duration of the whole thing is basically 1 hour the altitude is fifty five miles the speed it reaches mach three so that's pretty fast. That's the breaks of sound barriering ah and the and the the crew enjoyed minutes of waitless weightlessness and witness earth's curvature.

49:47.97
J. Aundrea
Um, that's pretty. That's that's pretty fast.

49:58.82
J. Aundrea
Yeah I mean to be clear though. They're not in space like they're not in space. They're not in orbit.

50:00.80
Bruce Anthony
Hip put pick. No there and they they can there they so they see Earth They see Earth They can look down and see Earth. No no, no, no, no, no, no, no, they.

50:13.84
J. Aundrea
Yeah, you can look down and see earth from a plane like my point is yeah.

50:21.52
Bruce Anthony
So they had cameras in there I was watching it live on Abc News and and there're they're in. There's levels to space. There are levels. There's levels of space. Ok this a't this ain't the movie in a space.

50:28.76
J. Aundrea
There's definitely levels. Yes, they were in outer space. They were like in inner space. If if you will if you if you will and that movie is called interstellar.

50:40.51
Bruce Anthony
Ah, you're right? It is called interstellar all right? this.

50:45.19
J. Aundrea
It's not called Inner Space I would like to see a movie called Inner space. Yeah, go ahead because.

50:50.85
Bruce Anthony
Ah, can I finish giving the details of this all so the tickets cost four hundred and fifty dollars 450000 per person. Um, but the only person had to pay was ah the olympian. Because the other ones want a raffle so somebody paid for them. But it was through a raffle and they want tickets. Okay, all right? Okay, yeah, yeah, now it's 450000 and now and now you know with this successful flight which was the second one they want to start doing.

51:05.66
J. Aundrea
Yeah, but he paid 200000 because he bought his ticket eighteen years ago yeah yeah now it's 450

51:21.82
Bruce Anthony
1 a month. Um, for people that want to do space tourism and I was like okay this is cool and also dumb because then some people just died doing ah ocean tourism.

51:23.33
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, ah, no yeah, we we can't even navigate the water and you want to send me out into space. No thanks.

51:37.88
Bruce Anthony
Now this is a little bit different because the technology for these for this rocket ship was way better than that Nintendo controller summer of so that that so and Richard Bronson gonna do it right? He go do it right.

51:40.20
J. Aundrea
Pearson.

51:47.12
J. Aundrea
True true. He waited this long well Elon Musk in space x is actually has a contract with Nasa and they take.

51:55.75
Bruce Anthony
I Trust him over I trust him over what's my man tesla.

52:06.21
J. Aundrea
The astronauts back and forth to the international space station. So Space X actually does go into space Unlike unlike ah blue blue he has blue origin and it's just kind of it's very similar to virgin galactic where it doesn't.

52:11.27
Bruce Anthony
Okay, oh it was Jeff Bezos that did a little something Jeff Bezos did

52:25.46
J. Aundrea
Really go up to space. It goes like to inner space is was what I call it which is that we it. It's not outer space. You not I mean we're all in space like this work. We're all on a rock.

52:30.53
Bruce Anthony
Um, it's not what it is I they're in space they left they leave Earth They exit earth.

52:44.87
J. Aundrea
Flying through space a hundred percent of us are astronauts but but deaths.

52:46.27
Bruce Anthony
They exit Earth Ah no, we're not and that's another thing don't call these people astronauts and they're not doing the thing but they the real astronauts doing.

52:55.42
J. Aundrea
They're not that they're not. They're not. They're not going through the training. They're not.

53:00.32
Bruce Anthony
It's cool. It's cool that they did that they did they had to do some training but not the training that those astronauts are doing that takes months years before you're an astronaut. Um, so yeah, you're in agreement with me that this is cool but dumb as hell. Yeah, no just done.

53:03.53
J. Aundrea
No, no yeah yeah.

53:12.81
J. Aundrea
Yeah I Yeah I mean I don't know what it's like to be so rich that I just have to look. That's the that's one of the perks of being poor is that I. I'm always on my toes just because I have no money. So The fact that rich people have to seek higher and higher thrills to put themselves in more and more danger.

53:44.57
Bruce Anthony
Well, you would think so so somebody just won the mega millions. It was one point five billion the the one time payout is something like 790000000 which means they would get after they paying taxes. They got like 400000000 so these people that think.

53:47.30
J. Aundrea
I Don't know what that's like I and I don't want to know. Let me.

53:58.49
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

54:01.55
Bruce Anthony
Well, you got one point five billion though it's like 400000000 after all of that stuff. But it's still a lot of money so you think to yourself when you have that type of money we're we're people because of our parents that that want to help people.

54:03.30
J. Aundrea
Yes, that's a lot of money. Yeah.

54:18.60
Bruce Anthony
So we would start some type of foundation in service of people and where okay all right now I'm doing it in service of people. Also we would ball out once you've balled out for a while stuff gets kind of.

54:18.66
J. Aundrea
Um, right at the very least as a tax shelter. Yeah.

54:28.57
J. Aundrea
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, after that first year of balling out like I feel like okay I've purchased everything I want to purchase I've traveled everywhere I wanted to go.

54:37.38
Bruce Anthony
Pouring.

54:40.71
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, right? So it's like what else is theirs. Yeah, right.

54:47.82
J. Aundrea
Now now I just have the rest of my life. It's just just time ticking away and I guess you know you go to space so you go into a submersible you spend your money on crazy crazy shit and that's what this is.

55:02.78
Bruce Anthony
So the question is if you was rich and you had the money and you had done all the other stuff that you wanted to do would you do this? You're right? you I tell you I would do this before I did that submersible.

55:08.95
J. Aundrea
No I don't even like to fly So I definitely am not gonna go to space. Yeah I'm not going underwater. We don't even know what's under there at least a space I can go outside and look up I can see it. Okay, some.

55:24.91
Bruce Anthony
You know when I might I would do this I would do this like if I was like my man he has parkinson's disease and Parkinson's does you don't get no better things deteriorate relatively fast. So if I was him. Yeah because I know.

55:27.77
J. Aundrea
We got some telescopes.

55:35.42
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

55:44.84
Bruce Anthony
This is my last shot to do something truly special before life really becomes hell I mean aols and Parkinson's like don't nobody want those get me Aids I'll take aids over those that said.

55:48.86
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

55:55.10
J. Aundrea
No wow. That's that's a sound bite ladies and gentlemen. If you are looking to Blackmail Bruce

56:03.32
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, but it's true. What what? all you go get nothing.

56:14.19
J. Aundrea
Or any cut any kind of if you want to hold any sound bite over his head just take that clip of say of him yelling out give me aids.

56:27.11
Bruce Anthony
That's not what I said I said if I had the choice between all of them I'd rather have aids in those two I Would you maybe a gun to your head you had to have a choice that's.

56:31.75
J. Aundrea
I would rather be healthy I'm be honest with you gun to my head shoot me. Yeah.

56:39.70
Bruce Anthony
That was the.

56:46.26
J. Aundrea
And pulled a trigger. What is the difference.

56:49.68
Bruce Anthony
Because you can live with you can live longer said kind of guts of I head pull the trigger that's funny. That's funny I I would do it like I said if I was him in that situation I was do it if I was me right now. No I'm no. Ah.

56:53.21
J. Aundrea
Yes, all right? but.

57:03.80
J. Aundrea
Yeah I'm I mean he did a lot of a lot of cool stuff. He climbed kill him and Jarro and then rode down it on a bicycl on a cycle like that. That's pretty cool like you know So he's just kind of one of those rich.

57:06.20
Bruce Anthony
No because things would go sideways real fast.

57:15.79
Bruce Anthony
Um.

57:22.42
J. Aundrea
Former Olympians in canoeing for some reason and ah you know, looking for thrills. You know to make life feel meaningful and so that's yeah I get I just I would look for other ways to look. For meaning I You there's got to be decades of these flights for me before I would get on it like it. It literally has to be no I wouldn't pin on the second one especially because I believe Virgin had a.

57:43.30
Bruce Anthony
Ah I wouldn't have been on the second one. Yeah and it didn't go so well and then they had to go back in.

57:54.53
J. Aundrea
It was an unmanned show. It was an unmanned one but it just had experiments in it and it crashed. Yeah.

58:01.90
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, and they had to go back. There is there is just for everybody's edvocation. There are there's a board. There's a group I don't know if it's I don't think it's specifically Nasa but there is a group that has to clear all this like you can't just build your own spaceship or shuttle or or satellite and just.

58:14.54
J. Aundrea
No, absolutely, not no, no nobody I don't know if it's against a law but like you can't just send stuff up into space. You can't do it.

58:21.40
Bruce Anthony
Blast it into space you that is against the law. You can't do that. Well because you need the certain material that you need for that stuff. I think you had to have permission to buy it if I'm yeah.

58:36.81
J. Aundrea
Yeah, because it's like why do you need it? Why do you need it Joe Schmellow why do you? Why do you need thermal heat resistant you know, steel or whatever the hell they use to make these. Why do you need it.

58:41.47
Bruce Anthony
That okay.

58:50.49
Bruce Anthony
What was what what was Sheldon Bond that that had the Fbi come into his house in young Sheldon I need to finish watching that then need to finish watching this season and have him watched this since a cameback from break. That's a good show.

58:54.72
J. Aundrea
She.

58:58.17
J. Aundrea
I can't remember but I. All right your a D D is acting up. Let's let's wrap it up. Yeah.

59:08.86
Bruce Anthony
Yep, if you welcome.

59:13.73
Bruce Anthony
That is that is a telltale sign all right? So we're both are.

59:19.96
J. Aundrea
Yeah, that's ah, that's how we know the show is wrapping up where one of our a starts acting up when we start going on tangents all over the place who was talking about space shuttle. How'd you get on.

59:25.52
Bruce Anthony
And.

59:32.82
J. Aundrea
You got to finish your young Sheldon.

59:33.89
Bruce Anthony
But there was a connection to it I was talking about things that you would need to buy to do to build a space shuttle and I think Sheldon was trying to do something like that and and when he was young Sheldon and had the the Fbi or the government services come to the house and then I remember.

59:37.30
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah.

59:48.79
J. Aundrea
Yeah, because I would have questions I would have questions Why are you purchasing this? No I feel like you can't buy radioactive materials as just a Civilian no.

59:52.87
Bruce Anthony
I need to watch young Sheldon. Well yeah, because I think yeah I don't think you can buy uranium. Yeah, no I don't think you can all so both in agreement this is it was cool. It's cool but I ain't doing this.

01:00:06.95
J. Aundrea
I'm pretty sure that's impossible. Yes. It I guess no I'm not not the second one I would do the one hundred and fifty thousandth yeah like you literally have to have so many I get on a plane because.

01:00:18.97
Bruce Anthony
One fifty thousand

01:00:28.50
J. Aundrea
Hundreds of thousands of flights maybe millions of flights have already happened in the history of flight. Just yeah, so yeah, yeah, I feel like Pan am was the sixty s yes.

01:00:32.90
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, it would definitely be millions them been flying since the 70 s like 9 stop sixty s really I think it was a sixty s yeah yeah, so so.

01:00:46.20
J. Aundrea
So yeah, literally has to be that and now I'm I'm still I pray every time I get on a flight so going in space. No no god.

01:00:52.00
Bruce Anthony
Well, you know me if I'm if I'm gonna go out I'd rather go out in the plane because Lese I'm flying as close I ever get to Superman I know anyway on that no j what do you want to tell the people out there because it sure was over.

01:01:06.19
J. Aundrea
Hey yeah show ah show that I don't know I don't know what to say you know I never know.

01:01:13.20
Bruce Anthony
Well did say some the Deejay academics.

01:01:16.54
J. Aundrea
Oh brother. It's okay, if you don't like black women because we don't like you either.

01:01:22.69
Bruce Anthony
I Can't say nothing behind that on on that note as always our holler.

01:01:28.93
J. Aundrea
Um.
