J. Aundrea: What up, brudda?

First thing is the audience doesn't know, but I be Nel in these intros. One take Bruce. That's what they got. And that's what they need to call me. Now. One take Bruce.

J. Aundrea: I mean, that's not really true. Is it though? Like you and I both know that sometimes. Sometimes. Sometimes. Sometimes. 

Bruce Anthony: But it hasn't happened in a long time. 

J. Aundrea: That's true. That's what I'm trying to say. You have been nailing it recently. I've been nailing the hell out of it. And we've been rolling. One 

Bruce Anthony: take and this is go.

It's not doubling back or anything. That's true.

What you want to get off of your chest. 

Jay Andrea's Take on Harrison Buckner's Controversial Speech
---

Bruce Anthony: Now, [00:02:00] I was not going to talk about this, not because I don't think it's important, but because I felt that I get agitated when people are not of a certain group speak on that particular group. 

J. Aundrea: Right. 

Bruce Anthony: So. I wasn't going to talk about it, but a lot of my female friends have been voicing it.

And when I saw this, me being the person that I am, I was agitated, but I wasn't going to speak on this. You said, I want to talk about this. So I give you the floor. 

J. Aundrea: Harrison Buckner. You're probably wondering who the hell's Harrison Buckner. You would be just like me. Cause I don't, I didn't know who the hell that was either, but he is the kicker for the Kansas city chiefs, two time, uh, super bowl champion for, you know, I don't know.

I'm sure he kicked a [00:03:00] goal. I mean, he kicks 

Bruce Anthony: points and they had kick field goals every now and then. 

J. Aundrea: All right, sure, that's, that definitely contributes, uh, in some way, but he managed during a commencement address this past week to be homophobic, anti abortion, racist, and just all around fascist. This is during a commencement address.

Address. 

Bruce Anthony: He's the commencement speaker at a Christian or a Catholic university, correct? 

J. Aundrea: Correct. 

Bruce Anthony: Okay. 

J. Aundrea: So let's just talk about this. So what, what happened? So he was asked to be the commencement speaker for a Catholic college, which whose Benedictine Benedict. Y'all know what it is. It's a Catholic college.

Benedictine [00:04:00] College, a Catholic liberal arts college not far outside of Kansas City. During this commencement speech, he stirred up a lot of controversy. By saying that one of the most important titles that a woman, saying this to a graduating class, that a woman could have is homemaker. During his commencement speech, he denounced abortion rights, Pride Month, the COVID 19 lockdowns.

And the quote, tyranny of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Okay. He, the 28 year old devout Catholic and father of two railed against the quote, dangerous gender ideologies and urged men to fight against the cultural emasculation of men. But what really has got [00:05:00] people in a tizzy were his, uh, Comments that were directed specifically towards the women of the graduating class.

He says, And I quote, and I have to read this in its entirety because you will not believe that somebody actually said this to a bunch of college educated women in real life, but it actually did happen. And he said, in 

Bruce Anthony: 2024, 

J. Aundrea: in 2024. He actually said, and I quote, I want to speak directly to you, referencing the women briefly, because I think that you, the women have had the most diabolical lives told to you.

How many of you are sitting here now about to cross the stage and are thinking about all the promotions and titles you're going to get in your career? Some of you may even go on to lead successful careers in the world, but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage [00:06:00] and the children you will bring into this world.

He goes on to, to talk about his own wife and that she would agree that her life didn't start until she became married, married him and became the mother of his children. Not their children, the mother of his children. This is not the first time he's done this. He gave a commencement speech last year at his alma mater in Georgia Tech, in which he also urged students to get married and start a family.

Many people have pointed out that his mother, 

Bruce Anthony: I was just getting ready to say that just getting ready to point to that 

J. Aundrea: is a clinical medical physicist at Emory university's department of radiation oncology. And she has been there since 1988. I didn't even know. There were medical physicists. I thought physicists were astronomy.

Bruce Anthony: You thought it was the characters from the big bang theory. And like they do string theory. [00:07:00] 

J. Aundrea: I'm thinking of that as physicists. I didn't even know there was a medical physicist and she is that 

Bruce Anthony: she is that and 

J. Aundrea: has been operating at a high level did enough so that he could become. A two time Superbowl champion 

Bruce Anthony: while, 

J. Aundrea: while working as a, working as a medical physicist.

Now they did say that he received a standing ovation, even though the AP, um, the Associated Press reported audience reaction was mixed. Some women applauded him. Some of the women were like, it can't be true. Kind of felt a little degrading and I'm like, a little, it definitely did. And it just, I, I mean, so I get it in that he's a devout Catholic.

He's speaking to a [00:08:00] very conservative Catholic, uh, university, uh, college graduating class. They have very strict standards. So maybe. Even if giving him the benefit of the doubt, maybe he's speaking to people who agree with him, but writ large, it is very annoying that women are expected to be wives and mothers.

and help further their husband's ambitions while casting aside their own ambitions, or that they shouldn't have any other ambitions besides being wives and mothers, because according to people like him, that's when women truly start living in their quote unquote vocation. He can be a two time Super Bowl champion, but his wife can only amount to being his wife.

That's her Super Bowl ring, her wedding ring, and her suffering. Right. 

Bruce Anthony: [00:09:00] I mean, why her suffering? Okay. So this is what I'll say. 

J. Aundrea: No, I mean, I'm sure he found a woman whose ambition it was to be a wife and mother. And that is completely fine. That is completely fine. The point of feminism is about choice.

Having the equal opportunity to choose between being a stay at home mom, a CEO, both hell we can work from home. Now we can do both. Right. That that's what feminism is about. It's about having the choice, the opportunity to be what you want to be, to have the intention of being what you want to be, and then actually being able to do it, like having the space to do that.

There are women in that graduating class that are dreaming about what they're going to do with those degrees and about contributing something of value to society. And. You know, since I get one S word per, [00:10:00] per show, he took a giant shit all over it. 

Bruce Anthony: Yeah. Yeah. 

J. Aundrea: And that's what, what gets on my nerves. And I think ultimately you have to ask yourself when hearing things like this, who do his comments serve?

Certainly not women with goals and dreams outside of the home. 

Bruce Anthony: That's true. 

J. Aundrea: You have to ask, why would anyone want to minimize a woman gaining a degree or discourage them from believing they have worth outside the home? Who does that serve? Who benefits from women having a lack of options? 

Bruce Anthony: I'm, I'm not trying to defend him.

God, I hate when you put me, you put me in these situations where, where I have this, I have to show the other side. Ladies and gentlemen out there. I agree 100 percent with my sister. I'm just giving a different perspective on unsolicited perspectives. That's not [00:11:00] exactly what he said. What he said was, is that Yeah, y'all did this and that's cool, but I know y'all going to be even more happier when you do what your true calling is, is being a mother and a wife.

That's, that's what he said. He didn't say 

J. Aundrea: the same thing. Your true calling being a wife and mother. 

Bruce Anthony: And, and. He know the audience that he was speaking to see, I didn't watch the full speech. I've only seen clips. Some of the others, my S word, some of the other shit that he said bothers me just as much as what he said about women.

He's, and it's. 

J. Aundrea: It was bad. It was, it was unhinged the entire way through, but it wasn't 

Bruce Anthony: unhinged, 

J. Aundrea: but again, it was, it was to that audience. It was to the audience and it 

Bruce Anthony: wasn't unhinged. He was poignant. He was composed. He was articulate. 

J. Aundrea: The [00:12:00] ideology is 

Bruce Anthony: unhinged. That's what, yes, the ideology is unhinged. He didn't sound like a raving lunatic.

And those are the type of people that scare me. See, everybody is afraid of the former president becoming president again. And that is something to be fearful of, but he looks like a raging lunatic, right? It's those slick talking MFers like. Josh Hanley and Marco Rubio. He ain't that slick, but you know what I'm talking about that push these agendas that is really marginalizing people.

There is nothing there's no, he says that D I is Not for equalizing and equality when that's literally what it stands for. 

J. Aundrea: It literally is in the name. 

Bruce Anthony: It's literally in the name. So when he's saying these things about women, about minorities, about other religions, because if he's, if, if he's saying these things, He is [00:13:00] espousing white Christian nationalist views, right?

J. Aundrea: Yes. 

Bruce Anthony: That, that means that he doesn't care about other religions. He if you say that you are Jewish, if you say that you are Muslim, he's going to say, I'm going to pray for you. Those are his condescending words. This is who he is. Whoopi. Whoopi had something interesting to say on Review. She was like, you know, I don't agree with what he's saying, but I don't really have a problem with it.

Everybody has their own beliefs. Everybody has their own ideas. I don't have to believe it. He has every right to say what he wants to say. And he does. He has every right to say, everybody has whatever right they have to say some. My second S word. Are we going, we go on over to S words for this podcast.

Everybody has the right to say the stupidest shit that they want to say. It's still stupid. Yes. Okay. And [00:14:00] I know this is going to sound hypocritical. I get it. I get what my next statement is going to sound like. I get it. Not everybody deserves a voice. Some people just need to shut the hell up. I say that as a person that has his own podcast, but some people just need to shut the hell up.

Not everybody deserves to say what their views and opinions are because It's just dumb. You got the right to say it, but it's just dumb. And okay, so he got a standing ovation and there was a mixed crowd, but he's also knows who he's, he was preaching to. And for the women out there that want to be a homemaker that want to be a mom and a housewife, I have friends that are just like, I don't want to work.

Hell, I don't want to work. Right. Okay. So I get it 

J. Aundrea: wholeheartedly. 

Bruce Anthony: I will be a stay at home dad. But here's the thing. It is work. It is work. It's just unpaid labor. It's unpaid labor, right? It is work. [00:15:00] But ladies, let me just put that out there. Anybody that got a lot of money, you cute, you don't even have to be all that fine.

You could be a four out of 10 and you just want to take care of me. I'm all for it. Long as you can recognize the signs of heart attack and stroke and I ain't got to work, I'm down for it. 

J. Aundrea: Why do they need to, I don't, not going down that road. Yeah, let's just leave that 

Bruce Anthony: alone. Right? No. Yeah, no, he was talking to his audience and there are more and more people that believe this way and guess what?

This isn't a racial thing. It's a racial thing when he talked about the DEI, but we know people in the black Latino Muslim Italian Jewish Indian communities That believe this sort of thing both men and women 

J. Aundrea: Yeah. Oh yeah. In traditional value. This is, this is it. Listen, this is what black men have been espousing on Tik Tok [00:16:00] for, for a really long time, even though they don't believe.

But, but 

Bruce Anthony: my thing is, this is not something that you go up and speak about when there are so many women in the audience that just accomplish. A great goal, a great feat, a great accomplishment. Don't belittle what they did to get your rocks off. And that's, that's my problem with everything that he did. If he wants to believe what he wants to believe, cool.

I don't believe in it. I don't got to believe in it. As long as you don't press your views on me, we won't have a problem. If you press your views on me, I don't give a damn. If you are a kicker for the Kansas city chiefs, I'll break your leg. You won't be kicking no more. Press me if you want to. That's up to you, but he could believe what he wants to believe and just find it hypocritical that he says, this is how women should be when the women, when the woman that raised him is the exact opposite of what [00:17:00] he is saying, what women should be.

So I don't know, man, just like, I was going to leave this alone because I'm not. A woman. I can't speak. I'm learning that it doesn't matter if I support women. Sometimes I can't be the bull horn for women's rights. I can be an advocate. I can co sign, but I can't speak on it. It's just like, if a white person is just speaking on black rights, it's like, cool, thank you for being an ally, but I don't want you to be the voice.

J. Aundrea: Right. 

Bruce Anthony: So, yeah, 

J. Aundrea: whenever, you know, you are. Advocating for a marginalized group. Sometimes your advocacy is getting them into spaces. They're not typically allowed in and then letting them speak. 

Bruce Anthony: There you go. Okay. 

J. Aundrea: I just, I just thought, what a upsetting thing to hear [00:18:00] when I, when I'm graduating in, in the midst of me graduating from college.

Yeah, I worked for four years, maybe more to get this achievement to earn this achievement. And you take a huge dump on it 

Bruce Anthony: huge 

J. Aundrea: by telling me that my greatest achievement will be being a wife and mother. When you have no idea who's in that audience.

Bruce Anthony: All right, Jay, that was serious. And we don't typically start the show with a serious topic, but 

J. Aundrea: I had to get it off my chest 

Bruce Anthony: and you had to get off your chest. It was important. And I'm glad that, well, one, I'm not glad that it happened. I'm not, let me not misspeak, but I'm glad that it was like right before we were filming this show so that we didn't have to wake up a [00:19:00] full week or multiple days that you could address this.

Cause I, I wasn't going to touch it with a 50 foot pole. I just feel like it's not on me to talk about this, but we're going to lighten the mood. 

The Casual Dining Nostalgia Trip
---

Bruce Anthony: We're going to lighten the mood and we're going to talk about casual dining. I was talking to a friend earlier today and, and, and we were. A Chili's commercial came on and he said three, three things for 10.

Man, don't you miss them days? And I was like, yeah, I miss those days a lot. Like I miss the days of being able to go to the TGI Fridays, the Chili's, the Ruby Tuesdays. And what's hurting, what's breaking my heart is Red Lobster about the file for bankruptcy and closing down shop, not completely, but closing down restaurants, the Chili's.

I have, there was three Chili's that were in a 10 to 15 mile radius for me. Two of them are closed. And the one that I, that is closest is on a part of the neighborhood that I really don't want to go to. I don't want to go there. I have [00:20:00] a TGI Fridays literally right across the street from me, but I get tired of TGI Fridays plus TGI Fridays.

There's a certain element that just, you know, Frequently Frequence TGI Friday. 

J. Aundrea: Yeah, maybe 

Bruce Anthony: I want to go to Ruby Tuesday for the salad bar. And these were things that were really popular in the nineties. They were these party atmosphere where the staff was specifically, you know, supposed to be joyous and supposed to be one party.

And more importantly, Families used to go to these things and what my boy was saying was like, yo, you remember back in the day our parents could take us out? It could be a family of five and most they spend is 65, maybe 70 for a family to go eat. And I was like, yeah, well, And then I said, yeah, well, because our parents weren't really drinking like us, like you can go to TGI Fridays and Ruby Tuesday and Chili's now, and you can, you could spend that just on yourself and you get them drinks.

J. Aundrea: Yes. But the idea of Margaritas and them [00:21:00] daiquiris add. 

Bruce Anthony: Yes, they do. But Like, do you have any type of fond memories of going to those establishments, not red lobster? Cause that's something that we did religiously, but maybe more so when we moved up here to the DC area, going to those type of establishments, like those were the only times I actually wanted to go out to eat.

J. Aundrea: Yeah. No, and the food was mediocre and the atmosphere was always confusing. So no,

Bruce Anthony: there has not been a place. Chili's Ruby Tuesday, TGI Friday, Applebee's where the chicken fingers weren't fire. 

J. Aundrea: Yeah. And we know that you are a connoisseur 

Bruce Anthony: of the chicken fingers, 

J. Aundrea: but for people with more refined palates, I will tell you exactly why casual dining family style restaurants have gone out of style.[00:22:00] 

Bruce Anthony: Okay. 

J. Aundrea: Cause ain't nobody, ain't nobody got no family. Like every, listen, listen, listen. It's the truth. The truth is people are not having kids. They're not getting married. 

Bruce Anthony: That's not true. It's 

J. Aundrea: a lot of millennia. We are in our thirties and forties and we are single and we don't want to go to no damn TGI Fridays or Chili's or nothing.

We want to go to a nice restaurant with a nice atmosphere with a little kids crying. I don't want to see that. See them little wooden child seats saddled up to a booth. I don't want to see it. I don't want to see a kid throwing French fries across the table. Everybody acting like that kid is not being loud and obnoxious.

No, I want to go to a nice boutique restaurant where they care about the food, where there are chefs, not cooks.

Well, they don't offer me anything two for [00:23:00] 20. 

Bruce Anthony: Oh, that's two for 20 though. He said, he said three for 10. I was like, what? That is a good deal. You get an appetizer, you get a main entree and a dessert. That is a good meal. 

J. Aundrea: And the fact that you can cover your food costs and overhead and everything for three for 10 makes me question what I'm eating.

Bruce Anthony: No, they upcharge on the alcohol, right? So that offsets any costs that they decrease in the food. That's the reason why these, these, well, the reason why 

J. Aundrea: listen, the people getting that three for 10, two for 20, they getting around of Coca Cola because I came here with 40. That's tax and tip. We getting around the Coca Cola.

Bruce Anthony: All right. Check it out. Check it out. All right. So what you're saying is we're too good for these restaurants now. 

J. Aundrea: No, I'm saying single [00:24:00] people, Don't want to watch children eat. 

Bruce Anthony: You can go to a restaurant, no matter what restaurant you're going to go to, it's going to be children eating. 

J. Aundrea: No, not always. 

Bruce Anthony: They don't have adult exclusive restaurants.

There 

J. Aundrea: are certain restaurants where atmosphere, there's just not conducive to bringing children. Okay. That is true. 

Bruce Anthony: Yeah. Okay. That is true. Let me tell you a story. About what happened my freshman year, my freshman year of college, we weren't told about the culture of tipping. That's something that you have to learn when you get older, or maybe your parents are smart enough to say, Hey, when you go out to a restaurant, you supposed to tip.

Yes. Right. We never paid attention to when our parents are paying the bill. Our parents are paying the bill. That's, that's all we know. Yeah. So I'm 18 years old. I know nothing about tipping, not truly. And I got my little girlfriend at the [00:25:00] time and I got scraped up a little bit of money. I had like 42 in my checking account and I took it to Applebee's and the bill was 40.

And I, and I was, Doing the math in my head as we was ordering, 

J. Aundrea: I 

Bruce Anthony: ordered chicken fingers. Why? Cause they were cheap. Yeah. And also because I only had 40 and of course she had to order something expensive, so it came to 40 and I paid the bill. 

J. Aundrea: Cause nobody, nobody is expecting. To be asked out on a date by somebody with no bread.

Bruce Anthony: Well, I mean, she was my girlfriend. So like when you were in a relationship, like it's okay to go to Applebee's, especially 

J. Aundrea: in 1998. No, no, no, no, no. Nobody's expecting while they're sitting at the Applebee's across from the person who asked Them out on the date. 

Bruce Anthony: Oh, okay. That they ain't 

J. Aundrea: got no bread. 

Bruce Anthony: No, I didn't have no bread and I wasn't going to tell her 40.

That's what I had. I'm going to go 

J. Aundrea: for a walk in the park and got [00:26:00] ice cream. 

Bruce Anthony: Cameron said, you could have got a slice to take her out. Cause you know, we never really went out, you know, you got Chinese food, smoke, weed and had drinks. Now I want to take you out. All I had was 40. Now the Chinese food is like 12 and I can get a dime bag for 10, right?

And that's what a typical budget this 40. I'm sorry to that person. You probably don't remember me. It was almost 30 years ago. Um, Dammit, . 

J. Aundrea: No, it was not. 

Bruce Anthony: Uh, when I was 18 is almost 30 years ago. 

J. Aundrea: It's 24 6. 26. 

Bruce Anthony: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. . Yikes. That's the reason why I hit that pause. Yikes. 

J. Aundrea: That's why I hit that pause.

I 

Bruce Anthony: was like, wait a minute. Hold up. That was almost 30 years ago. 90s. The kids out there wasn't even born yet. [00:27:00] No, 

J. Aundrea: I 

Bruce Anthony: know. Cause I dated a few anyway. Okay. Hey, look, they, they 24, 25, too young. Well, no, you know, 

J. Aundrea: I got nieces and nephews that age. I can't do it. 

Bruce Anthony: Okay. Well,

J. Aundrea: I gotta explain to them. 

Bruce Anthony: I can take an Applebee's. So, uh, yeah, it kind of sucks. Because we grew up on these, the millennials grew up on these restaurants and we're not attending them anymore. And they're starting to die off 

J. Aundrea: as things do. 

Bruce Anthony: Yeah, I know as things 

J. Aundrea: do, 

Bruce Anthony: but they were a good time. It was a good time.

J. Aundrea: And they had their moment. And maybe they will be back again one day, 

Bruce Anthony: but I doubt it, but the food was bad. I don't think, I don't think you can make high quality, great tasting food when you go three for 10, even two for 20. I just don't think that you can make just great tasting food. 

J. Aundrea: It's the, it's the, like that labor [00:28:00] triangle where it's either going to be cheap.

Fast or good. 

Bruce Anthony: Yeah. And it's going to be two of the three. It's going to 

J. Aundrea: only be two. 

Bruce Anthony: Yep. And if it's cheap and fast, it ain't going to be good. And that's what it is. It's cheap and fast and it ain't good. It is not. 

Exploring the Black Wife Effect
---

Bruce Anthony: But speaking of things that are good, the black wife effect. Now you sent this to me like I was being introduced to it when I had actually sent you, I dm'd you last week, some of the same videos laughed about it, which lets me know that you were high and forgot, but this wasn't something that you didn't do to me.

J. Aundrea: I didn't know. First of all, please don't blame everything on that, but also. I just didn't know where, well, it was all over my tick tock timeline and it has been for like the past week or so after the [00:29:00] Kendrick and Drake stuff died down, like this popped up and it's just been on my timeline since then.

And so I've been getting DMS of it from different people at different points in time. So. I 

Bruce Anthony: saw it on Instagram, but it was an Instagram of a bunch of Tick Tocks. That's how I get my Tick Tocks. Cause I'm not, I'm on Tick Tock, but I ain't really on Tick Tock. Any who, can you explain to the audience what the black wife effect is?

J. Aundrea: Yes. So the black wife effect is a trend sweeping Tick Tock where anyone, but primarily white men show before and after glow up photos, a glow up that they dedicate entirely to having a black wife. Okay. And when I say, as I have, like I said, seen a ridiculous number of these, uh, the black wife effect is real.

It is, it is very real. Now what causes this glow up phenomenon? [00:30:00] Well, scientists are baffled, but well, well, black female scientists are not baffled, but other scientists are baffled. They don't know what, but I will tell you, black women know what the cause is, and that is our partner is a reflection of us and we're a reflection of them, we're a unit it's important.

We look good together as a unit. Making sure our partner is the best version of themselves is a point of pride. There is no, like, ego in it. I want you to look as good as me, that way people know I take care of you. So you will be moisturized. 

Bruce Anthony: Okay. Your 

J. Aundrea: beard will be groomed. You will not wear sweat socks with slacks.

Bruce Anthony: Okay. 

J. Aundrea: We don't take care of you. And I, and I think this phenomenon is best summed up by the now [00:31:00] viral quote from venture capitalists and billionaire Ben Horowitz, who is married to a black woman and has been married to a black woman for the last 30 years. He said, quote, billionaires prefer black women.

They are loyal. And guard your interests. Black wives are for grownups. 

Bruce Anthony: Hmm. 

J. Aundrea: Shout out to, uh, Eve, who is, the rapper Eve, who is married to a white billionaire. Oh, Eve is married to him? Yes, they're married. They have a child. Oh. Stepchildren. 

Bruce Anthony: What y'all want. 

J. Aundrea: Yes. You can't 

Bruce Anthony: touch. Hey, okay, Eve. All right. Okay.

Okay. All right. So I have, so I was watching this and, uh, it is definitely a glow up and the sexes have something to do with this. So I posed the question to you that I thought would be interesting in the discussion is, is it the reverse as [00:32:00] well? Do black men help white women glow up? The answer is hilarious.

What, what, what is the, what is the answer? What? What's the answer? , wait minute. Hold on. What? What's the answer? I didn't give you my answer. 

J. Aundrea: No, you give 

Bruce Anthony: what? What? 

J. Aundrea: So there have been several tiktoks made about the black man, black husband effect. 

Bruce Anthony: Okay. 

J. Aundrea: The, the before is usually pictures of a happy couple, and the after is when he leaves and she's left distraught and penniless, and it was several videos.

Of course, they're parodies. People are making fun. Yeah, that's, that's 

Bruce Anthony: not, that's, but I want to have a real conversation, not a joke. And I would say yes, but not directly. This is what I mean by that. If you look at white women, not if [00:33:00] not the majority of white women, but what is considered beauty now curves, what do black men want curves?

So why wouldn't white women who are attracted to black men rearrange their wardrobe and appearance? And we're seeing it in culture. 

J. Aundrea: Yeah. 

Bruce Anthony: Right. We're seeing it in culture. Change their appearance to appeal to black men, much like how these white husbands with influence from black women, because what men can't do what black men, cause I, you know, was married to a white woman, what I could never do.

What I wanted to do several times, but what I could never do was tell her what to wear. Tell her how to do her hair. No, no. Tell her what jewelry to wear. No. Could never do that. Yeah. But when she did something that I [00:34:00] thought was dope, I definitely praise that. Particular thing to say, Ooh, I like that hairdo.

Ooh, I like that outfit that you put together. I like the way your booty look in them pants. 

J. Aundrea: Not never. It's the, it's, I think it's the way you do it. Because if I'm dating a man, if I'm dating a man and he says, You know, I want to take you out. Hey, can you wear that red dress? I really liked that one. It's my favorite.

Um, chances are, I'm going to put it on. 

Bruce Anthony: Oh, okay. Well, one time I was dating a female, not my ex wife. 

J. Aundrea: A woman. Yeah. 

Bruce Anthony: A female. Yeah. That's what I date. Yeah. Uh, and she was wearing not flattering jeans and I, cause she had curves. Cause that's what I do. I date curves. I like curves. Yeah. Yeah. And I was like, okay, those jeans you're going.[00:35:00] 

Cause in my head, I'm like, yo, those don't look real flattering. And so what I said was, Hey, you losing some weight? Cause that's kind of a compliment, but I did it as a backhanded compliment. Like don't be. Don't be losing. Don't be losing the curves because that's the reason why I'm with you now. Well, the reason why initially I was with you and now I like you, I care about you, but I probably care about you a little less.

If you lose, ladies and gentlemen, I'm joking. I'm joking. I know I'm about to get killed. These are jokes, but no, I think when you talk about the black wife, it, Effect. Yes. Women suggest to all men, right? Hey, you should wear those shoes. Hey, you should wear that, that shirt. Hey, you should wear that jacket.

I've dated women and I think that I have [00:36:00] a very good fashion sense. Do I take chances? I do. You do. Yes. Do the chances work out? The majority of the time they 

J. Aundrea: say 90 percent of the time, 

Bruce Anthony: 90 percent of the time when I tell people what I'm going to wear and they're like, I don't know about that. And then I come with it.

They're like, okay, I'm feeling that. 

J. Aundrea: Yeah, 

Bruce Anthony: there was one time that I wore a turtleneck sweater to a friend's birthday party. And this is when I was real thin and the jokes after I left, cause they didn't say it to my face. And I got beef about this. They said, I look like a number two pencil. 

Fashion Faux Pas and Style Advice
---

J. Aundrea: Yeah, I can see that.

Bruce Anthony: But I wanted to have a blazer 

J. Aundrea: with 

Bruce Anthony: the turtleneck, but the jacket, the winter jacket that I was wearing, it was like, it didn't come all in full effect. And I was like, the birthday party is at the house. It don't matter, but I didn't know that it was going to call me number two pencil. The outfit wasn't complete.

Anyway. 

The Influence of Women on Men's Style Choices
---

Bruce Anthony: The point I'm trying to make is, is that, yeah, women suggest outfits and there have been [00:37:00] women that I've dated that suggested like those issues. You're going to rock with that outfit. And I was like, yeah, you know, I'm going to rock the Jordans. And then I was like, I think it would be better with the boots that you have.

I'm like, you think? And then I put on the boots and like, yo, you write, you write, and it's like, Hey, you, you going to wear your mustache like that. You mean like I always do? Yeah. Why don't you try and make it a little bit thinner or make it a little bit longer or make it a little bit thicker or make it a little bit fuller, you know, and I'm like, all right, well, I'll try it sometimes.

I don't got no control over this. It's just the way my hair grow. Like if the woman coming to me is like, have you tried growing your hair out? It's not going to grow. That's. The reason why I'm bald, okay, I 

J. Aundrea: don't really 

Bruce Anthony: have a choice about this. 

Exploring the Black Wife Effect and Cultural Appropriation
---

J. Aundrea: I think the difference between the black wife effect and the white women that you're talking about is, and these are specific to the white women you're talking about, the ones that change their body to [00:38:00] look more like a traditional black woman, because not all black women are Are okay.

Let's I think the traditional idea of how black women's bodies look 

Bruce Anthony: or not even black women, right? Because black women aren't the only type of curvy women. Okay, but let's just say In America, traditionally it's been black women that are more curvy. And when I say changing their bodies, ladies and gentlemen, I'm not talking about BBLs, but it could also be BBLs.

That's, that's another new thing, but, but before BBLs and before plastic surgery was a thing, it was just working out, working on your glutes, right? Every female client that I have is like, I want to work my glutes. I want my glutes to look good. Everybody, every, nobody wants that Ozempic booty. 

J. Aundrea: I don't think anybody.

I don't think there's anybody who doesn't want a nice ass, like I think that's, 

Bruce Anthony: I would universal cut half of mine [00:39:00] off of my body. Oh yeah. I would gladly, well, you be able to fit into more pants, . Yeah, I would be able to fit, shut up. . I'd be able to fit into more pants. Half the reason why I can't wear pants.

Ladies and gentlemen, I was going to 

J. Aundrea: sing something. I'm not going to do it because I feel like it'll catch on and you will hate me until the day I die. 

Bruce Anthony: You already just said Cabrew. I 

J. Aundrea: was going to say BBL, Brucie. BBL.

Bruce Anthony: Yeah, I hate you. I hate you. 

J. Aundrea: Sorry. I'm so sorry. It just popped into my head. It popped into my head and I hope it doesn't get too 

Bruce Anthony: long. Ladies and gentlemen, Brucie was a nickname that my younger, uh, that my younger siblings, my sister and my brother used to call me. And I didn't ever, I never thought anything of it until one day we was at the playground.

Yeah. And [00:40:00] y'all were yelling out, Brucey, Brucey. And everybody was like, all my boys, like, yo, who the hell is Brucey? And I was like, well, that's me. It was like, why do they call you Brucey? That is not your name. I was like, it really is not my name. 

J. Aundrea: No, we called you Brucey. 

Bruce Anthony: Yeah. We 

J. Aundrea: pronounce the E. 

Bruce Anthony: Yeah, Bruce E.

They used to call me Bruce 

The Power of Transformation: The Black Wife Effect
---

J. Aundrea: E. But I think the difference between the black wife effect and the white women that you're talking about i. e. the Kardashians 

Bruce Anthony: I'm not talking about them 

J. Aundrea: is that those type of white women are cosplaying as black women. 

Bruce Anthony: Hmm. I, okay. But I would, yes. And I specifically wasn't talking about 

J. Aundrea: to appeal to black men.

So whereas the black wife effect. Is they're not, they're just, they just got a shape up. They just gotta take No, they got 

Bruce Anthony: more. No, they got more shape. They got taper. They they got new clothes. New clothes. It was a whole completely [00:41:00] different person. Yeah. So I'm not, I'm not gay, but some of them men went from Howdy Doty to John B and I was like, you know what, he looks good.

Yeah. He looks damn good. She did a good job. Yeah. And even my friend down that I was showing it to a white guy and he was like. Oh, yeah. No, that's a dramatic difference. Yeah. He's like, you got more of these? I was like, yeah, there's a whole bunch of them. 

J. Aundrea: Yeah, it's just It's just an elevation. 

Bruce Anthony: It's, it's a, it's a introduction to a different style.

J. Aundrea: Yeah. An elevation. 

Bruce Anthony: Well, I'm not going to say, well, just to us, some of them were, it's an elevation. The 

J. Aundrea: ones I love the most are the lesbian ones, because some of them ladies. 

Bruce Anthony: That's right. Ladies and gentlemen, the black wife effect isn't just for heterosexual relationships. It is for homosexual relationships as well.

J. Aundrea: Yes. [00:42:00] And some of them ladies was rough and then they got with their black wife. And then it just had amazing swag. I mean, is it, is it partly like the swag just rubs off on you? I mean, I don't know. I don't know. I think the response to this, 

Bruce Anthony: that's what I was gonna get to is what 

J. Aundrea: been, is what's been the most enlightening.

Bruce Anthony: Yeah, get to the, get to the response. 

Debating the Black Wife Effect and Interracial Relationships
---

Bruce Anthony: There's a certain group, there's a certain segment of the population that, uh, had something to say real poignant about this. 

J. Aundrea: It's not that poignant and it's not that nuanced. Well, 

Bruce Anthony: I'm going to say yes and no, but I'm going to let you go ahead and lead into this. 

J. Aundrea: Well, it's black men, not surprisingly.

Uh, we saw this when black women, uh, you know, said that they decided they were going to live soft lives. We saw the backlash to that. We saw the [00:43:00] backlash to black women saying they're just not going to date anymore. And now we see the backlash to the black wife effect. And essentially what a lot of the videos that I've seen from black men is just like, Oh, White man gives y'all a mediocre compliment and now you're head over heels.

And, and we've been here and, and nobody is, nobody's listening to us when we say good things. But white man says that you all are for grownups. And now listen, what black women are applauding in them comments is the glow up and the work that that wife put in. It has nothing to do with the interracial relationship.

Bruce Anthony: Yes, it does. That's the main point. It's a glow up of an interracial relationship. It's the effect of a black woman to a white man or woman to change their aesthetic. 

J. Aundrea: It's [00:44:00] not always white people there. I've seen black wife effects with black husbands. 

Bruce Anthony: Well, I didn't see any of those. Yes. I know that's a thing.

I'm 

J. Aundrea: saying it's anyone can do the video. 

Bruce Anthony: Yeah. 

J. Aundrea: You're seeing them primarily coming from white men. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But anyone can do the video and when black women are in the comments, like, yeah, go off is because a, the glow up was Amazing. And B we know what work it took to get him there or her there.

Bruce Anthony: This is the reason why I said it was a pointy and a comment because the comment that black men are saying about this is specifically black men are saying about black women, blowing up white men and praising that is no different than what black women will say to black men when they're with white women.

J. Aundrea: When have y'all ever glowed up a white woman? 

Bruce Anthony: Oh, look at the whole, there was a Philadelphia Eagles [00:45:00] picture with all the wives. Let me, let me just tell you, there was some glow up there. Money will glow you up. 

J. Aundrea: Yeah. Money will. 

Bruce Anthony: Yeah. Money will glow you up. So I 

J. Aundrea: think there's a huge difference. One we're not in those comments.

We're not championing, championing, Interracial relationships. We are praising the glow up and the work she put in when he, when, when Ben Horowitz said, black wives are for grownups, he didn't say black wives are for white male grownups. That's not what he said. He said that they were grownups, but 

Bruce Anthony: it could be implied that he meant.

Don't put words in his mouth. Well, sometimes, sometimes you got to, you got to read between the lines. 

J. Aundrea: Who is y'all? 

Bruce Anthony: No, 

J. Aundrea: don't put me in the same category. Cause I don't 

Bruce Anthony: have nothing to say. I say go love and be who, what you want to wear. If whoever make you happy. 

J. Aundrea: Yes. When, when [00:46:00] I've seen this take over and over and over again, When you ask the, first of all, these comments are coming from black men who have not wifed up a black, you know what 

Bruce Anthony: this segment has gone long and I want to continue this segment.

I want to continue this conversation, but we're going, we're going to transition into the next segment. We'll continue on with this topic. Then we're going to get to some laughs because now we're going to get to some laughs. Cause, cause this is about to get heated. I can tell it right now, the way we, the way we looking at each other,

that's what it is. We're going to have people that's going to watch on YouTube and they're going to be like, Hey, y'all good. Yes, we good. But this is about to be a debate. We're going to get into the debate next.

All right, Jay, let's give the people what they want with us arguing and then us laughing. I don't 

J. Aundrea: think it'll be an argument. I think it's [00:47:00] not. First of all, The black men who make these comments about anything, the black women are trying to do half of the majority of them are single, have not wifed up a black woman and probably don't even date them.

Bruce Anthony: Well, this goes to the first segment and talking about Mr. Kicker man from the Kansas city chiefs. And what it all comes down to with the cooking man, the Kansas city chiefs and the black men that have a problem with the black wife effect glow up for white men specifically. Right. They don't like women.

No, that's, that's what it is. Look, I'm, I'm sorry for all my men and women in the audience right now. I'm going to say something to y'all and you're going to be like, Bruce, that's not true. And I want you to really look deep into your heart. Okay. And think about the views that you have in life. And it's going to tell you something and you may not like what you [00:48:00] see.

A lot of men don't like women. They don't want women to succeed more than them. They don't want women to have more than them. They feel like women are inferior and that they should stay in their place. Now they may not come out there and say that directly, but. The same gentleman that I was showing this video to earlier called him on it with a different topic that we were talking about.

And I was like, yo, you've been ragging on women this entire time. You haven't said one complimentary thing about a woman. Do you like women? Yeah, I like women. No, I didn't say, do you like to have sex with women? I said, do you like women? Those are two totally different things. And I said, say something good about your girlfriend.

And he was like, She's pretty and I was like that seat right there. That's the point. I'm trying to make you sexualizing her. Yeah, she's smart Well, you're always complaining that she's not smart. So do you think she's smart 

J. Aundrea: pretty smart funny? Those are [00:49:00] the three things that women get as compliments from men and it's the same three compliments you get You see it in the movies, you know, she's just beautiful and so smart.

And she's like, funny, like really funny. Like not girl funny, but like guy, funny, you know, and then they launch into a bunch of things about what that woman does for them. And that's why they like her, you know, she's always there and she does, she does this and she does that. And I just, you know, I love the way she makes me feel.

Meanwhile, she's miserable. 

Bruce Anthony: Right. And I would say to all the men out there in heterosexual relationships, Look at the woman that you're with. And when are you most proud of her? When do you look at her and be like, wow, you really doing it. I have a lot of female friends, a lot of them that are platonic friends.

Right. And when they win, I'm happy as hell to see them win. I like women. [00:50:00] Yes. Always have like women. That's that's this just so, and not just sexualizing women though, I do like that too, but, but I like women, right? A lot of men out of here don't like women. I will just, I was getting ready to say something and I can't say something, but guys are out here and it's like, they just want a trophy.

Yeah, they want what other guys want, and there is something to that, right? Because I even when I date women, I love the fact when other men check them out, I don't get threatened by that because they're with me, but I love the fact that every, every guy else. Every other guy out there also wants them as well.

That's an ego boost. She's with me. Y'all want what I have. I get it. That's toxic masculinity. 

J. Aundrea: I think that's not, I think that goes across the board. Everybody wants. To [00:51:00] accept people who are insecure. They don't, but I think everybody wants to feel like they're dating somebody that's desirable. You know 

Bruce Anthony: what?

That's true. Because every woman I ever dated, whenever they introduced me to their friend, they always say, my friend thinks you're handsome. I'm like, Pointing out the obvious, right? That's number one. Number two, don't you think I'm handsome too? Like, why do you need them to co sign on that? But then I realized it's just like, Oh, you feel good with the fact that other people find your man attractive.

So you know that you wouldn't attract them in. Basically confirming what you already 

J. Aundrea: thinking 

Bruce Anthony: in your, in your mind. 

J. Aundrea: There's nothing worse than when you're getting somebody ugly and 

Bruce Anthony: for their 

J. Aundrea: personality or whatever. And your friends like, let me see a picture. And you gotta, you, first of all, it take them a long time to find a picture.

And then they hit you with that. He, he just, he don't take pictures good. He's not photogenic, but. [00:52:00] Cause you always got to preface it. Cause you know, you dated somebody ugly, you dated for their personality. 

Bruce Anthony: Look, there have been a few times, but I wouldn't, you know, they weren't my girlfriends, but there's been a few times that I've dated some women and my male friends be like, let me see a picture.

And I'm like, no, 

J. Aundrea: but I think, but I think that there's. I think ultimately when I see the hate, right? So you say there are men out there that don't like women. 

Navigating the Complexities of Preference and Prejudice
---

J. Aundrea: I would take it a step further and say that there are a lot of men who don't like black women specifically. And there are a lot of, uh, there are white women too that do not like black women.

And a lot of like, like whenever you hear a black man who exclusively dates white women, right? For example. And you ask them, why do you date white women? That's a [00:53:00] preference. It's a preference. Fine. That's fine. 

Bruce Anthony: Well, they say it's a preference. They say it's a preference, but that's not what they 

J. Aundrea: mean.

That's not what they mean. 

Bruce Anthony: Okay. 

J. Aundrea: Cause whenever you ask them, well, why do you date white women? Then the answer is inevitably, well, cause black women are always this and that and they're masculine and they do too much and blah, blah, blah. And nobody asked you why you don't date black women. We asked why you date white women.

Bruce Anthony: But if you're asking why you date white women, you're asking why don't you date black women? 

J. Aundrea: No, you're not. I'm asking what do you find so attractive, alluring, this, that, and the third about white women that you date them exclusively? That's what I'm asking. But the answer is always What, what you don't like about black women.

Bruce Anthony: Well, okay. So there's a whole, we can get into this some other time and I'll find a clip and I'll send it to you. And maybe we'll talk about that. That, that's a good topic to talk about on the after hours. If y'all don't know, we have a Patreon page. 

J. Aundrea: Yeah, we do. We have 

Bruce Anthony: two shows. After hours uncensored and talking [00:54:00] straight ish, it's 5 a month for one show or 9 a month for both shows.

Yeah. And that's where you get our uncensored. That's what we say a lot more cuss words, but 

J. Aundrea: we don't limit ourselves to the S words, but, but it's okay to have a preference as long as black women aren't what's preferred. I think people hate black women being a preference. They hate black women being elevated.

Valued, being married, being wise. 

Bruce Anthony: See, I don't, I don't necessarily agree with that. No, the people, the 

J. Aundrea: people who hate the people who are okay. The people, the people are 

Bruce Anthony: hating. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 

J. Aundrea: They, they hate black women live in soft lives. They hate them being loved and black women. This, this trend, it can easily go into all black women are just dating white men.

Now, that's not what's happening. What's happening is we're going where we're valued. Okay. What's happening is we're going where we're loved and appreciated. And whoever that may be, it may be a black [00:55:00] man. It may be a white man. It may be an Asian man and maybe it doesn't matter. We're trying to go where we're valued.

That person doesn't have a race. That's, that's the point. 

Bruce Anthony: All right. Well, I'm going to tell you to transition to white women.

Cruise Ship Chronicles: A Missed Departure Drama
---

Bruce Anthony: There was an incident where a woman and a husband, white couple, not to say that this wouldn't happen to, to black couples, anyone, yes, but I'm just saying this particular one was 

J. Aundrea: not punctual, 

Bruce Anthony: right? This particular instance. Was a white couple in which they were on a cruise, the Norwegian breakaway cruise ship leaving from New York to the Bahamas.

It stopped off in Nassau. Yes. Right. Stopped off in Nassau. And it said, Hey, everybody got to be back by five 30. That is normal. That is [00:56:00] normal. We've taken many a cruises. We've 

J. Aundrea: taken many a cruise and they give you a time to be a time 

Bruce Anthony: limit. So a woman and a man and their three children and the children's uncle, we're all on this cruise ship.

The crew is like, Hey, look. We can't account for your wife because they scan on a cruise ship when you leave they scan you 

J. Aundrea: Yes, when you come 

Bruce Anthony: back on they scan you so they can keep count of who's on the ship But who's not on the ship 

J. Aundrea: because essentially you have this key card it gets you into your room It helps you pay for things on board and it also Checks you in and out of the ship so they know who's off the boat 

Bruce Anthony: They know.

So they're like, Hey, look, we're trying to contact your wife. They tell the husband, we're trying to contact your wife. We can't get in contact with her. She's not on the boat. He says, all right, we'll check it out. Can y'all hold it up? They said, look, we're going to hold up for 30 minutes. Let you debark with your, with your [00:57:00] traveling stuff.

Go find her. Come back. They had already held it waiting for her for 30 minutes. They're giving them an additional 30 minutes. They ain't make it back in time. Somebody is recording probably from their balcony or one of the decks of them racing in this golf cart as the cruise ship is taken off. And all she does, it's not funny, but it's all she does is go towards the end, the end of the edge of where the water, what's where the water, the dock.

The dock, the dock. She goes to the end of the dock, not the dock of the bay. She goes to the end of the dock and just dropped down to her knees and says, my children are on ship now. This popped up to me. This popped up on my social media and I was like, oh man, what's she gonna do? Cause I didn't know the uncle was on the ship.

I was like, Oh man, what they're going to do that? The kids was on the ship. No, the uncle was on the ship and the kids were fine. And eventually Norwegian cruise lines hooked them up and got them to gave them accommodations to eventually get back on the boat. I missed [00:58:00] one time on my, on one of my cruises, we were flying into Miami.

And I, this was the cruise that I planned and I didn't time it right. And we were on a delay and the ship took off. And the person that was my ex wife, it was with her and she immediately starts crying on the plane because like the ship's taken off and we call and we had to pay a little special fee because we missed and we got at the next port that happened to be Key West.

So it was all good, but, and this happens, like people don't make it to the ship in time, but I thought it was funny. 

J. Aundrea: She just drops it. It's very dramatic. It was very cinematic. It's like that scene in a movie where they drop to their knees and scream to the heavens, no, you know, that's exactly what she did.

Hands in the air. Like it was so dramatic. And the fact of the matter is. Just meet them at the next port of call. They're on the ship with their uncle. He did [00:59:00] the drama of it just because you wanted to do some extra shopping or girl. What were you doing? 

Bruce Anthony: Look, look, this is my problem. You had 

J. Aundrea: all day. 

Bruce Anthony: You had all day.

J. Aundrea: Yes, 

Bruce Anthony: and we were an hour late. You went an hour late because they, they gave, they gave extra 30 minutes before they found the husband, find the husband and they like, you got 30 minutes and why, where was she that he couldn't even find her in the 30 minutes? Why don't you have a cell phone on her? Right.

You know what I'm saying? It's 

J. Aundrea: honestly, it's honestly the audacity because. What did you think was gonna happen? Did you think the boat was gonna wait for you? 

Bruce Anthony: I guess some people really believe that the ship won't leave. It's not a boat. It's a ship. 

J. Aundrea: Yeah It's a big ass boat Did you think because literally you have all day we usually get to the port at like 8 9 in the morning They start letting people off you had [01:00:00] all day 

Bruce Anthony: all day She was in Nassau.

If 

J. Aundrea: they're like be back at five 30, I'm back on the boat at three. 

Bruce Anthony: Now, the thing I'm tripping off of is, is that, uh, which Nassau were they at? Right. Because the cruise ship during is the part, Oh, during this departure from the Bahamas, cause it was leaving from New York. And I was like, well, there's two Nassau's there's, there's a Nassau.

That's not too far from New York. Then there's a Nassau Bahamas. 

J. Aundrea: I doubt they're in Nassau County. 

Bruce Anthony: I just thought it would be, you're right. They're not, but it wouldn't be really funny. Like you, you leave from New York and they, they, one of the ports is Nassau. Right. And they stop off at Nassau and whatever it was in Nassau, that's what made it really funny to me.

It's like, if you in New York and you get to stop off at Nassau, why can't you make the boat in time? What is it in Nassau that's so dope? Maybe she's in Bahamas, Nassau. Maybe she's having that conch. Not. [01:01:00] Not caulk, ladies and gentlemen, but that also, it could also be that 

J. Aundrea: not conch, 

Bruce Anthony: no conch. That's what it's called.

Conch. 

J. Aundrea: It's conch. It's not conch. 

Bruce Anthony: No. I was going to say it's not caulk. 

J. Aundrea: Oh, well, yes. 

Bruce Anthony: It could have been. 

J. Aundrea: This episode has gotten racy. We said the S word a couple of times. 

Bruce Anthony: I mean, caulk is really, I mean, you know, caulk is, Cock of the walk. That's a, that's a sure. But 

J. Aundrea: nobody, me, nobody come on now. 

Bruce Anthony: Here's the last thing.

Superman's New Look: A Relatable Hero?
---

Bruce Anthony: Here's the last thing last week they unveiled. There's a new Superman movie coming out right after my 45th birthday next year. The James Gunn, the director of Guardians of the Galaxy is now taking over the whole DC universe and he's restarting it and they're starting off with a new Superman. So Harvey [01:02:00] Cavill is not going to be Superman anymore.

It's a new dude and they unleashed his suit, the Superman suit. And in that picture, there's something going on outside that looks like the world is about to be destroyed. And Superman is literally in his suit, putting on his boots and there's been a little bit of backlash. There was like one, I don't like the suit.

And two, why isn't he getting ready faster? And I'm like, you know what? That looks like real life. Because if I was Superman, I'd be like, it's always something. I can't, I can't never just chill and kick it. Y'all always need me to save y'all for something. 

J. Aundrea: And 

Bruce Anthony: in the suit, it looks like it's worn. It's looked like it's been through some battles because they released an earlier version of just a crest where it was just bright and pristine.

And you can tell in that picture, like, like it had been through some stuff. So it looked like he'd been through fights 

J. Aundrea: and 

Bruce Anthony: battles and he just finally sat down [01:03:00] and sure enough, here come a new Earth shattering disaster that's coming that he got to go say today again. You know what? I, I love Superman, but now that I think about it, I don't want to be Superman.

You don't never get no break. 

J. Aundrea: He could always go home or something. Another planet. 

Bruce Anthony: No, his planet was destroyed. I mean, he could, but he got, you know, he was raised here, but I'm just thinking, think about it. If Superman say you once, You're gonna all be always be expecting Superman to save you 

J. Aundrea: not me I don't think I ever seen superman save black woman before 

Bruce Anthony: he stopped.

J. Aundrea: Who y'all talking about batman? I ain't never seen batman 

Bruce Anthony: No, yes, he did. He used to he used to save cat woman and that was earth to kick Eartha 

J. Aundrea: Kitt ain't never needed saving. Definitely not from [01:04:00] no man. 

Bruce Anthony: Okay. All right. 

J. Aundrea: I don't want to see him putting on his boots. I want to see Superman spin around real fast and be in the suit when he starts spinning.

Bruce Anthony: I don't want to see him spin around. 

J. Aundrea: into a phone booth and come out. Ain't no more phone booths. Half a second later. 

Bruce Anthony: Ain't no more phone booths. Then 

J. Aundrea: he needs to go into an Apple store and turn around and come back out and be in his unit. Everybody gonna see him walk in and leave. Don't nobody want to see a tired, beleaguered, superman because the whole point is like, how is he so?

Damn tired. He's Superman. He ain't saving the day 

Bruce Anthony: all the time. 

J. Aundrea: He chose this. No, 

Bruce Anthony: he chooses the life. Chose him. 

J. Aundrea: Just like ain't nobody. Ain't nobody forcing nobody to be a cop. Ain't nobody forcing him to be Superman. He could have just worked at the daily planet as a reporter. And that just be his life [01:05:00] and he could have done that.

He's choosing to do this. And if you're choosing to be a hero, yo ass, don't get to be tired, putting your boots on. 

Bruce Anthony: Yeah. Look, he's tired. On 

J. Aundrea: some mid century modern furniture and a Florida ceiling window condo, it looks like. Oh, yeah, yeah, I got, I got a whole lot of sympathy for this man. No, I don't. 

Bruce Anthony: I mean, he is a world renowned reporter.

I mean, he make a little bit of dough. 

J. Aundrea: Yeah, so I got no sympathy. And I just He 

Bruce Anthony: gotta go report the news and save the world. 

J. Aundrea: My question is, Are the drawers separate or is it all one piece? 

Bruce Anthony: But he's definitely got the drawers. It's not like the Harvey Cavill suit. He got the drawers on. He's got 

J. Aundrea: the drawers on.

Are the drawers separate? And he puts that whole onesie on and then grabs some red drawers with a yellow belt and pulls them on. Or is the drawers part of the suit? And if the drawers. Are separate. [01:06:00] He could not put them on. If the drawers are part of the suit, whose choice was that? 

Bruce Anthony: Maybe that's his Kryptonian heritage.

J. Aundrea: He needs the black wife effect because she, she, first of all, she would have made sure every time you go out there, that suit was clean and perfect. He's fighting aliens. She would have put a roller in it every night. Make sure he got his little curl was straight. Every time you go out. No, no, no. I got questions.

Bruce Anthony: Well, ladies and gentlemen, Roni is telling us that is the end of the show. She is over 

J. Aundrea: me talking. She's done. She's trying to rest. I'm over, I'm 

Bruce Anthony: over you attacking Superman. I really don't want to see your face for the rest of the weekend. I just 

J. Aundrea: have questions about the draws.

And I think they're fair. Freedom 

Bruce Anthony: it. It is fair. What do you want to the people out there? 

J. Aundrea: Cash app, A [01:07:00] black woman, $1,500 to get her hair and nails done. What? 

Bruce Anthony: Don't do that ladies and gentlemen. Yes, do that. 

J. Aundrea: Show black women some love today. 

Bruce Anthony: 1500? No. You 

J. Aundrea: know how much money? 

Bruce Anthony: You know what, on that note ladies and gentlemen, thank you for listening to this crazy ass show that we had today.
