00:56.58
J. Aundrea
What a bretta.

01:06.50
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

01:15.38
Bruce Anthony
That you really want to talk about and I am oblivious to both of them so ladies and gentlemen out there. You're gonna be finding out my original thoughts live as we go. So go ahead.

01:26.15
J. Aundrea
Which is insane to me. It makes it. It makes us seem like we did no show prep. That's not true. We did. Yeah yeah.

01:34.35
Bruce Anthony
That's not true I got a rundown right in front of me right? This got I got sources and all types of stuff on my rundown. But for this particular thing Yeah didn't do it but didn't do the background on it.

01:43.92
J. Aundrea
Yeah, well, that's all right? So after 2 nominations Angela Bassett wins an Oscar asterisk caveat. It's honorary. Okay, so now we're talking this is.

01:56.31
Bruce Anthony
Or older.

02:03.50
J. Aundrea
Angela Bassett okay this is black royalty for the last nearly forty years she has been given us drama. Okay, she gave us a Catherine Jackson Tina Turner Betty Shabaz like are you kidding.

02:03.29
Bruce Anthony
Who.

02:11.16
Bruce Anthony
A.

02:22.10
Bruce Anthony
Don't forget, don't forget Mr 3000 the movie with Bernie Mac it was absolutely alarious's a lot of movie.

02:22.20
J. Aundrea
And.

02:26.63
J. Aundrea
Yes, it was hilarious say it was a you know she's she's also done some Tyler Perry movie so we we got some different things sprinkle sprinkled all up in there. Okay I think everybody knows I'm like no down taliperi. Okay.

02:35.70
Bruce Anthony
But I don't know why you I don't know why you throw such shade at Taliaria but go ahead.

02:46.21
J. Aundrea
She was nominated twice for an academy award. Um, but as like anybody who knows first of all a lot of people don't know how academy awards get decided you are voted on by your peers. So best actress.

02:46.98
Bruce Anthony
So.

03:05.72
J. Aundrea
Actresses who are parts who are members of the academy vote on the best actress you know et cetera etc. It's like a school so it's a popularity contest. So this kind of felt to me by giving her this honorary Oscar it's like girl.

03:11.19
Bruce Anthony
Um, it's like a school election.

03:23.82
J. Aundrea
We know what? you've given us and that you've given us excellence. Ok for 4 decades like we know that. But this popularity contest because she lost in 2022 ah, the best actress nomination she lost to Jamie Lee Curtis which not taking away the flowers from Jamie but it's given overlooked. It's given a queen being overlooked so it's like here we'll give you this honorary one and. It also annoyed me because they did it at the um they did it at not on the main stage it was at the governor's awards which is like a smaller gathering. Um where they give out because there's.

04:10.60
Bruce Anthony
Ah, oh yeah, oh.

04:15.93
J. Aundrea
Many more awards than what you see during like that live taping of the Academy awards. Um, there are many many more awards that are smaller and people don't really and then of course you get your your honorary one she was of course stunning and gracious and.

04:19.20
Bruce Anthony
M.

04:35.49
J. Aundrea
She used that time to like express her gratitude and really spotlight other black actresses. Um, and like acknowledging their talents and sacrifices she shouted out Regina King Viola Davis Octavia Spencer Lupita Nyono she also paid her respects to prior winners um like Hattie Mcdaniel um Hallie Berry will be goldberg and of course her mentor Cicely Tyson who passed away a few years ago so like of course fans were like yes of course like we love that we're giving her her flowers and she is long long long overdue this should have been one in a collection of Oscars that she had but that but we're still like but y'all know. y'all know you're wrong.

05:33.18
Bruce Anthony
So she got a participation trophy on the side court right on the side feel like it. Ah.

05:34.60
J. Aundrea
E. Yes, yes.

05:45.18
Bruce Anthony
I wouldn't have even accepted. It did she know beforehand that she was going to get this or was this like sprung on her a surprise.

05:48.43
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah, the Governor I don't I don't think the Governor's award. They do the hole open in the envelope and all of that thing I think you know when you go there, she deserves that like she just.

05:59.38
Bruce Anthony
I would have turned it down personally I'd been like I don't want that I don't want that deserves what deserves ah an appreciation of war. Okay, yes, well see here's the thing with the oscars right? because Den Zell should have won it many a times but there have been some times where he's been up for the running.

06:06.47
J. Aundrea
And Oscar.

06:15.54
Bruce Anthony
And some actor has some incredible role in an incredible movie and this is like okay Michael Jordan should have won the nvp every single year because he was the best player that played the game.

06:18.22
J. Aundrea
Oh.

06:26.32
J. Aundrea
Um, bright.

06:30.27
Bruce Anthony
But sometimes players would have such a remarkable year like Charles Barkley in 93 that they're the Mvp that year. So yes, Angela is one of the best of all times.

06:34.18
J. Aundrea
M.

06:46.91
Bruce Anthony
And she's been passed over but 1 of them was for if I remember correctly she got nominated for wakanda forever. Yeah, that she shouldn't I don't think that look and she's only been nominated and and all yeah I think she was she was really good. But if you would like.

06:53.89
J. Aundrea
Yes, she got best supporting actors. Um, ah, go go back and watch me.

07:06.16
Bruce Anthony
Take all of her acting roles like no I'm sorry like that was not in the top 10 of her best acting roles so she should have been nominated as Tina Turner um I mean she should have won that year but I don't know who she was up against right? like if she's up against um.

07:06.23
J. Aundrea
N.

07:11.75
J. Aundrea
Right? Yes I agree with that she was in 19 Yes.

07:25.29
J. Aundrea
It was 9094 so she was it was Angela Bessett for what's love got to do with it stalker channing for ° of separation. Also very good movie Emma Thompson for the remains of the day. Never heard of it.

07:25.43
Bruce Anthony
I Don't know I don't know what year that was but if she's up against somebody.

07:31.90
Bruce Anthony
E. Yet It is a really good and she did really good job at that and never heard of it. But that doesn't mean that it isn't good right and doesn't mean that she wasn't exceptional in it. No.

07:45.37
J. Aundrea
I've I've doesn't mean it's not good at Depth Debbra winger for shadow lands also never heard of it.

07:55.15
Bruce Anthony
But you know they always have those artsy movies and Oscars I have the movies in the Oscars I I never see I ain't that ain't that culture.

07:59.77
J. Aundrea
The winner was Holly hunter for the piano which I also did not see.

08:04.60
Bruce Anthony
But I know the piano was supposedly like this great movie and it's not like Holly Hunter isn't phenomenal, but like yes if you want to if you want to give multiple awards like you can all all I'm saying is Angela Bassett should have been should have won an Oscar just because of her excellence but she could have just ran up against years and just people just had great roles that year but I'm not taking no damn honorary trophy. You can miss me with all of that hit like I'm not doing it I'm still the same person.

08:28.41
J. Aundrea
Um.

08:33.60
J. Aundrea
Yeah there.

08:37.76
Bruce Anthony
Who Mom went into the trash cam to go get my gold medal from an a you tournament that I played in and I threw it away. She went to went to the trash to go get it out I threw it away because I was like I didn't even play that much I shouldn't even have this she was like it was on the team you participated.

08:52.50
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah.

08:56.60
Bruce Anthony
You played in the game I was like not that much to affect the game I don't feel like I deserve this here i'mma throw it away now I'm an extreme case right? But also I I don't what okay look cancer slander is not gonna be hold on.

09:01.87
J. Aundrea
Yeah, because you're very dramatic. Well you're a cancer. So.

09:15.63
Bruce Anthony
I'm getting tired of people attacking Kansas which outbursts no but I didn not didn't say that I didn't say see I didn't see you're making it seem like there was this big scene I simply walked past the trash can at the get my mcdonald's.

09:15.64
J. Aundrea
That wasn't dramatic that little dead little outburst where you threw your medal away and I don't deserve that Bruce that's dramatic.

09:33.80
Bruce Anthony
And tossed it in there I didn't want to have no part of it I didn't make no big scene like I don't deserve this I didn't do any of that I toss it in there and mom happened to be walking behind me was like what did you do I was like I didn't even play that much I don't I don't even want that and she is like you deserve it and she wentted the trash and got I I was like.

09:36.63
J. Aundrea
It.

09:50.85
Bruce Anthony
You could keep it I'm not keeping it and mom kept a lot of my mementos that that I didn't notice that she kept because I wasn't that I saying I didn't do this I didn't do that I didn't deserve this So I'm not that participation type person and if I was a father and my kid got a participation trophy but Hein't do nothing to deserve it I'm be like here. Give me that trophy.

10:01.15
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

10:09.97
Bruce Anthony
You don't desire that just for participating. No not at all so I would but she didn't win right? like I don't want I don't want a trophy for you was almost good enough I want the trophy because I was the best.

10:11.80
J. Aundrea
Yeah, but here's the thing she does deserve it.

10:25.82
J. Aundrea
It what see and that's what I think I think you're thinking as a persistent I think it's more of Girl. We know you deserve this and we've known you deserve this for a very long time and you haven't got it because this. This award actually is always truly unfair to black women and and ah are you talking about? moonlight that moonlight year.

10:48.22
Bruce Anthony
What was that 1 year where all the black people won.

10:55.14
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, it was some like there was all the black year were the black people want and then they said the Oscars was woke because anytime black people like sad or something they say it's woke it was 1 year literally 1 year

11:01.69
J. Aundrea
It was a single year and honestly it was the short of tension span of probably the liberal white establishment in Hollywood that finally yeah, that finally.

11:13.15
Bruce Anthony
Knows I Want to say it was during the pandemic.

11:18.11
J. Aundrea
It but it was a it was a moment like the the black squares on social media like it was like a moment where they felt like oh we're giving it to black people because they they deserved it and then they got over it and it went back to be an oscars so white Hashtag Oscars so white. So.

11:25.14
Bruce Anthony
Um.

11:34.58
Bruce Anthony
Well I think they wanted to give her a lifetime achievement award I'm I'm cool with that but an honorary Oscar now now let's ah, let's say for instance, one of my friends. He's a professor and he was telling me about 1 of his friends.

11:46.00
J. Aundrea
M.

11:52.28
Bruce Anthony
Damn I hope she don't watch the show because I'm portraying this confidence. Ah, but they don't know who I'm talk about? Yeah no I know it is but they don't I they might they probably won't know who I'm talking about and so she's a bests selling author right? because her book sold a lot on Amazon.

11:54.54
J. Aundrea
But that again that's your favorite thing to do.

12:04.60
J. Aundrea
M m.

12:10.80
Bruce Anthony
Um, and she's one author of many in this particular book. It's a collection of authors that that contribute to this book and I later found out that the main author says hey if you guys want to purchase.

12:16.48
J. Aundrea
You.

12:28.59
Bruce Anthony
A piece in this book. You can write a chapter or something you pay me I'll allow you to include a chapter in this book because I'm known for bestsellers and then after that you could call yourself a bestseller because this book will be a bestseller. So in other words, they're paying to become a bestseller.

12:42.73
J. Aundrea
All right.

12:47.66
Bruce Anthony
Piggyback in offer somebody else. They didn't write the book as a part of a collection of people that just decided to get together and create a bests selller I mean they did create a bestseller but they paid for the right to be a part of that bestseller and that's what I kind of feel like this is like it's kind of like a you you she got.

12:59.21
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

13:06.78
Bruce Anthony
An honorary Oscar but not an Oscar so it's not. It's not legitimate just like these people aren't legitimate. Best sellers.

13:06.86
J. Aundrea
M.

13:15.39
J. Aundrea
I think it is legitimate. It is an Oscar that was given to her by the academy what is annoying about it is that this woman has given us 4 decades of great work and because. She can't win a popularity contest. She hasn't been able to go up on the big stage and accept an award like her peers right? No That's what I'm saying. That's what makes me upset about it like she hasn't had that moment I mean.

13:39.67
Bruce Anthony
She still didn't go up on a big stage. Okay.

13:52.19
J. Aundrea
Shout out to the academy for giving her like letting her give her speech because it was 15 minutes long and and of course beautiful. You can see it. You can watch it on Twitter. yeah yeah I mean it's.

13:58.78
Bruce Anthony
Then nobody see it right? Okay, this So this is the point I'm trying to make this is the point I'm trying to make it's the constellation prize I'm not fill it near. Yeah.

14:10.73
J. Aundrea
She she deserves more she deserves more?? Um, but this is the most that the academy can do because she's not winning that popularity contest Now if if the members of the Academy her peers actually. A watched all the movies that they're given that they're supposed to watch all of them. Ah and voted for who was actually the best Actress. There's a lot of politics and so and scheming and different stuff going on behind the scenes something.

14:33.18
Bruce Anthony
Were you you accusing people of not being come on now.

14:49.37
J. Aundrea
Just came out some producer or something like that. It was a few years ago but about all the backroom shady deals and stuff that they make contact and friends be like hey you know my movie's up for consideration. Can you guys vote for me for this like That's what's going on in the background and if you don't have those connections the way other people have those connections when I say other people I mean white people in hollywood the way they have those connections then you're just not going to get the flowers that you deserve so this was the best they could do knowing that the system is unfair and. She is one of only 2 black women who were even given this honorary award. The other one was Cicely Tyson who of course was also nominated for best actress and best supporting actress but never won and again, that's we're talking about these are people to ah who for us are like.

15:29.69
Bruce Anthony
Well no.

15:45.97
J. Aundrea
Top tier actors like we're talking about Cicely Tyson you know what I'm saying and I don't know I'm happy for her. But at the same time I'm like you deserve.

16:02.30
Bruce Anthony
Okay, but also you're making me say you're making me sound like the other side and I don't I don't like being that but you also haven't seen that list for what's love got to do with it when we ran through the list we hadn't seen half the movies.

16:02.60
J. Aundrea
To be up on that big stage and you deserve recognition.

16:20.82
Bruce Anthony
So we don't know what their performances were in that we just know Angela Bassett's performance was phenomenal, but we don't know that their performance wasn't better. So we're judging. We're judging the two years that she was nominated just like the academy ah people that vote are judging.

16:20.98
J. Aundrea
Ah, or m.

16:27.94
J. Aundrea
Oh.

16:37.97
J. Aundrea
Yeah, but you got it? Yeah, but you got to think about it this way too one. It's rare that we even get the nomination. No let me finish. Let me finish. It's rare that we even get the nomination because a lot of times the Academy is not considering.

16:40.58
Bruce Anthony
Without get having all the information.

16:46.20
Bruce Anthony
So just because we get the nomination that means we automatically. Okay.

16:57.95
J. Aundrea
Quote unquote are movies for Oscar contention. That's number one. Oh okay, it. It's rare that we even get the nomination so you get the nomination. Um.

17:00.74
Bruce Anthony
okay yeah okay I good okay all hold on which 1 which one of our movies didn't get recognition that should get recognition and where are these movies which one are our movies. Are you talking about.

17:21.88
J. Aundrea
Um, you know what I don't think boys in the hood won for anything.

17:28.78
Bruce Anthony
Okay, boys in the hood is is great but who would have won an Oscar who would okay okay and maybe Lawrence fishburn for supporting actor because he was phenomenal. Ah Angela Bass's role was too so too small. She was too small.

17:33.95
J. Aundrea
John Singleton for writing John Singleton for directing like yeah sures her role was too small, but yeah, but um.

17:46.49
Bruce Anthony
Ah, okay, so boys in the hood.

17:49.48
J. Aundrea
Yeah, so you have to think about when you watch it. Our movies rarely are in the contention in Oscar contestion Bruce we black people. There's a list of if you've seen these movies you could get your black card.

17:54.79
Bruce Anthony
But I mean it's like you go boys in the hood that was a quick one but like go go deeper than that. What a? what.

18:06.46
Bruce Anthony
Okay, yes, but yeah, but the only ones the only ones that that are that are great movies not just good movies to us but are great Oscar worthy these.

18:08.26
J. Aundrea
You've done that before none of the a lot of those movies.

18:21.62
Bruce Anthony
Acting performances are for you are really making me sound like Jason Whitlock right now and I do not want to have this position and also this topic has gone on way longer than it should have it should have been a 5 minute topic and and it's going longer and I don't feel like sounding like Jason wit like like I'm attacking the black community cause I'm a huge black supporter but I'm just saying.

18:31.78
J. Aundrea
Um, what.

18:40.96
Bruce Anthony
Out of our movies and and that list that you have of the the movies the black movies and have you have you seen these, you got you gave me boys in the hood. You're not putting minister society in that category Aminist Society is not a. It's a good movie.

18:49.49
J. Aundrea
Yeah, why not.

18:58.81
Bruce Anthony
Hood movie. It is not great acting in that who did great acting in that.

19:03.19
J. Aundrea
Lawrence Tate I don't think I don't see why he couldn't have been best supported actor. Yeah, that's another one. Why why? not? so who I don't I don't.

19:05.10
Bruce Anthony
No now if you said dead presidents. Yes, did no but not mince to society. No dead presidents yes because it's not a good. It's not a good movie. There aren't a lot of good actors in there. Larenz Tate is a supporting actor.

19:20.65
J. Aundrea
I disagree I Yes so why couldn't he have been nominated for best supporting actor.

19:22.47
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, it's French because I I Also don't think that that was a I don't think that his his role in that was so phenomenal I think he did a better role in dead presidents. You got you got a legitimate argument for that. But you got.

19:33.28
J. Aundrea
Okay, so then why wasn't he nominated for dead presidents.

19:40.48
Bruce Anthony
2 you got 2 movies that you have a legitimate argument for god damn it look I don't want to have this conversation anymore because now I sound in like a ultra conservative right? Winger and all I'm trying to do is bring a different perspective to the art ah to the argument and I do not like the position that you are forcing me to take.

19:44.83
J. Aundrea
There.

19:54.91
J. Aundrea
And it's not but it's not just black people. Okay because it's not just us Latino films asian films. They rarely rarely get the recognition that they deserve.

19:59.98
Bruce Anthony
You're right? It's not.

20:09.36
J. Aundrea
Should if we think these are good movies and movies that would why couldn't above the rim have gotten a nomination.

20:15.18
Bruce Anthony
2 part actually his acting in that movie is absolutely phenomenal. You're absolutely right.

20:20.75
J. Aundrea
I would even I would even say Marlon Weighs could have gotten the best supporting actor nomination for that I don't think it is go go back. It.

20:27.70
Bruce Anthony
No no, that's that's that's a stretch that that's its that's a stretch.

20:34.79
J. Aundrea
Go back and watch it from that perspective. My point is our movies aren't getting the respective des deservet. It can't even get respect from you and then okay what I don't understand how you can say that.

20:42.30
Bruce Anthony
Um, hold on I Love the movie I Love the movie I'm just saying It's not all great. Acting.

20:48.58
Bruce Anthony
If you if you because it's not not everybody holds their part look it Okay not everybody holds their part in the movie. There are some great actors who perform phenomenally in in in the movie but it's not the whole cast is not even closer to.

21:04.51
J. Aundrea
It doesn't have to be the whole pass 1 person wins best actor 1 person wins best supporting actor. Yes.

21:08.41
Bruce Anthony
Okay, what? Ah if you said to me Malcolm x right? If you said to me malcolm x great movie if you say to hell you know what? if we go down to spike lee joints um spike lee joints spike Lee right

21:17.58
J. Aundrea
You could go down the spike Lee joints and what and what did he get the Oscar nomination for his mainstream movie inside man.

21:29.16
Bruce Anthony
Ah, what? what? what was that I mean it was great look I'm tight look. Okay, yeah, this is gone unto to because I don't like the position I've I've had to take on this is gone longer than I wanted to and there was a second thing that you wanted to talk about.

21:35.80
J. Aundrea
Ah, a guy white people in it we could we could cut it and we could cut it at this point. But.

21:46.75
Bruce Anthony
And I wanted to get to 1 of my favorite sayings that just said this week to somebody that I thought was a great hit and this first segment to diy daddling wasn't dilly daddling it was talking about Angela Bass in their honorary Oscar and this I don't like the position that you made me take.

21:57.40
J. Aundrea
Well because I don't like the position that you took and I I didn't make you I didn't make you disrespect black films and black actors.

22:06.66
Bruce Anthony
You were coming so ten stop stop. Stop. You are not go say that to me I did not disrespect black films are there's a lot of crap films across the board. All I was saying was name the black films or name the actors in these black films. That deserve to be up on that stage and when you you get at first you gave me 1 year ah that just.

22:25.13
J. Aundrea
And I did and I did and what and what? and what? okay you said name of it. You didn't say name 17 and it's like how many examples do I have to give you before it's enough before you see the value in black films as well.

22:43.61
Bruce Anthony
See no see so no David I hate you right now. No don't you say that stuff that's so inflammatory and you're not gonna have me, you know what? I'm about to scrap this whole segment. This is not gonna make it on the show. This is not gonna make it on the show. No not at all, not not the way you just attack me right now.

22:52.42
J. Aundrea
No, no, keep it in keep it in keep it in because you took a position that you need to unpack on your own time. We can go ahead. But.

23:00.78
Bruce Anthony
And but no no in the stock I'm not unpacking anything. Okay, you need to stop people out there go be thinkinging breath thought bru was for black community here for the black community where you go have me out there look look my position is this I'm not saying Angela Bassett

23:17.56
J. Aundrea
Mm.

23:20.69
Bruce Anthony
Isn't a phenomenal actress and I'm not saying that she should not have gotten an oscar. My only argument was we don't have enough information to see who she was going up against to say oh she deserved to win that particular time or she deserved to lose that particular time.

23:20.93
J. Aundrea
She is.

23:37.56
Bruce Anthony
We can say under we can understandably say her body of work. Yeah I don't understand how Denzale only has one for training day which wasn't his best acting job right? It doesn't make any sense to me. Um, but also I don't agree with giving somebody an honorary Oscar if you want to give them a lifetime achievement award. She's still.

23:41.71
J. Aundrea
Right? It was a.

23:55.56
Bruce Anthony
Acting so I don't understand why you would give her a lifetime achievement war. But I also don't understand why you give her our honorary Oscar. It's not like she's not going to be doing more movies.

24:02.90
J. Aundrea
But I think the Academy recognizes the disadvantage that particularly black women face.

24:10.41
Bruce Anthony
The they should fix it the system and not give out participation trophies I don't know how we gonna fix policing how we gonna fix the education system I don't know the answers to these but I'm willing to look for answers as opposed to.

24:17.14
J. Aundrea
How are they going to fix the system. How are they going? How are they going to.

24:30.11
Bruce Anthony
Participation trophies. Ok.

24:31.54
J. Aundrea
I don't like it either again I've said I think she deserves to be on the big stage in winning an award because her peers voted for her as the best actor or ah, the best actress or best support an actress or whatever for whatever film I said that but also.

24:46.25
Bruce Anthony
E.

24:49.64
J. Aundrea
I Feel like this is the Academy saying we know is unfair and because and because we don't know if you will ever win Even if you deserve it and and as far as me watching every movie I'm not in the academy. It's not my job to do that.

24:54.11
Bruce Anthony
Um, okay, we.

25:04.56
Bruce Anthony
All right? low. Okay, okay, let's just okay, but just look all right I'm I'm done talk about this Las job. It.

25:06.53
J. Aundrea
But I do know for a fact that they don't watch all the movies and it is their job to do that and if they're not gonna do it then they need to get the hell up off the academy and that's all I got to say about that.

25:21.38
Bruce Anthony
I wish I had done little bit more research so I could have said hey Jay maybe this is not a dilly dadling segment because we ain't dilly daddy at all and there's a whole other thing that you want to talk about and this better be short.

25:33.21
J. Aundrea
Oh it's I don't have much to say about it now I saw I watched this Jonathan Majors interview he ah he did an interview. Ah good morning America it was terrible it was terrible again

25:42.34
Bruce Anthony
Yeah I did see excerpts of it didn't eat throw out careta Scott again look look right.

25:48.63
J. Aundrea
And again after we had a whole conversation in that same interview about how cringy that was he acknowledged. It was cringy and then he called Megan Good Correta again and it's just like stop Well bernice.

26:00.26
Bruce Anthony
Megan good yeah, he goes stop comparing himself to Martin Luther the king.

26:08.14
J. Aundrea
King the daughter of Martin and carretta tweeted. My mother was not a prop. She please know that my mother was a force she was just as influential.

26:11.66
Bruce Anthony
Ah E and.

26:22.68
J. Aundrea
And civil rights movement as my father she did just as much work and when my father was killed. She kept the movement going. My mother was not a prop there to set up and to support some great man. That's not who she was and so yeah, this whole thing about oh Megan's an angel. She's a miracle.

26:27.26
Bruce Anthony
E.

26:42.65
J. Aundrea
Ah, 1 sided things right? like an angel bestows blessings a miracle happens to somebody nobody does anything for an angel nobody does anything for a miracle so it just felt dumb. Yeah, it just felt dumb and then.

26:45.68
Bruce Anthony
Um.

26:53.61
Bruce Anthony
Um, that's deep.

26:57.89
J. Aundrea
You know it's always hard when you watch these interviews and they're actors and you know that they're good actors and it's like is this really you or are you acting right now but this one it was not hard to tell he was acting it was new and that.

27:08.23
Bruce Anthony
Yeah I just saw excer sermon and I was just like man come on now and and he's really done a hill turn. He has really done a he term because I was like hey look we didn't lost Chad with Bozeman he the one he the next one.

27:22.57
J. Aundrea
Um, he the next one now I wish to God we could because that right there was not only an artist but a hell of a man.

27:24.30
Bruce Anthony
And he's not the one I will can we brain Chad with back. Ah.

27:35.26
Bruce Anthony
Yes, he was all right. That's enough of what was going to be the daily dad in part but terror did to a heated thing where I was accused of not supporting the black community. Ah.

27:43.77
J. Aundrea
Obviously I'm obviously I'm joking ladies and gentlemen obviously.

27:50.30
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, but you didn't say it at the time and people probably turned off the episode was like I I used love unsolicited perspectives with Bruce Anthony because I thought he was about the cause but not no, he just another Jason Whitlock and don't worry ladies and gentlemen on my own show on tuesday.

28:00.40
J. Aundrea
Um.

28:05.29
Bruce Anthony
I will be addressing this entire Jason Whitlock Stephen a Smith Thing J you probably don't know what that is do you.

28:08.32
J. Aundrea
I have seen Stephen going off and calling people air everything but a child a guy so I know something going on. But.

28:15.99
Bruce Anthony
Yeah I will talk about it I'm gonna talk about but what we're gonna talk about next is these Florida schools and these Florida counties and these Florida school board boards really doing the absolute most that's up next.

28:39.53
Bruce Anthony
All right? We're gonna get to the Florida public schools first but this is what I wanted to say in the daily dialing I had come up with a new thing that I had said to a friend of mine and it was in the spur of the moment right.

28:42.10
J. Aundrea
M.

28:48.93
J. Aundrea
Okay, okay.

28:55.93
Bruce Anthony
Hey when I'm not thinking and I'm just letting my mind just run wild and I'm just saying stuff. Whatever's coming to my mind every now and then I could drop a gym and this is what I said to her I said I asked her about her friend. She was telling me about her friendness in a real crazy relationship and I said.

29:02.45
J. Aundrea
Um, okay.

29:14.55
J. Aundrea
Um.

29:15.54
Bruce Anthony
Is your friend in love with the person or is your friend in love with the fact that that person's in love with them and I think a lot of people out. There are dating people not because I mean they like them they like them.

29:22.20
J. Aundrea
M.

29:28.60
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah.

29:32.83
Bruce Anthony
But I think a lot of people out there dating people because they like the person because that person likes them and there's a lot of self-esteem that goes into that that looking insec secure they looking for affirmation from others.

29:38.80
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

29:47.50
J. Aundrea
Insecurity and stuff.

29:52.80
Bruce Anthony
Um, that goes into that. But the reason why I brought this up because the friend was telling me about a friend that's been in this marriage and then woke up one day and was just like I don't want to be in the marriage anymore and there was no escalating factors that got to that point just person woke up this one morning and was like I don't want I don't want.

30:01.74
J. Aundrea
Boom.

30:10.34
Bruce Anthony
I Don't love you I don't want to be in this relationship and I was and then just telling me the dynamics of the relationship and I was like oh yeah, your friend was in love with the fact that that person that her husband was in love with her. She was never in love with him. She was in love with that infatuation of her.

30:10.37
J. Aundrea
E.

30:19.94
J. Aundrea
Yeah. M.

30:27.47
Bruce Anthony
And and then when I dropped that bar She was like oh that's deep and I said damn that is deep I was like yeah now and I didn't write it down but I remembered it and even though in this first opened in Salvo I didn't changed it several times. The actual words the general gist of it. The essence of it is still there.

30:30.10
J. Aundrea
Let me write that down. He.

30:38.53
J. Aundrea
Yeah, the I yes is still the stuff is still the same. Yes, yes.

30:47.50
Bruce Anthony
So for all those people out there that are listening and are in relationships take a good observation of where you are emotionally and mentally in that relationship. Do you love that person or do you love the way that person makes you feel because of the way they treat you and the fact that you know that they love you.

31:05.68
J. Aundrea
Yeah, because you know our partner is our is our reflection. So if you're in love with somebody else in love with you. That's you got to because they're in love with you. You got to think you got to think about.

31:06.52
Bruce Anthony
This is food for thought.

31:12.50
Bruce Anthony
Um, ah.

31:18.38
Bruce Anthony
Right? Because they're in love with you.

31:23.53
J. Aundrea
What does that say about you are you self-centered.

31:24.19
Bruce Anthony
E here.

31:31.50
Bruce Anthony
There's that too egotistical Narcissist Narcissist that's a narcissistic trait all right. That was just my low gem that I wanted to drop in the daily down on the episode but we was too busy talking about angel yeah, you know you know every now and then I can go on a rant and I could drop a bar too.

31:38.35
J. Aundrea
Da was smart that was smart. Yeah, yeah.

31:48.90
Bruce Anthony
And ah and you know why I can because I've read books I read sometimes fundamental. Well we know that but it seems like ah Florida doesn't understand that so there was a Huffington there was a.

31:49.16
J. Aundrea
Why is it you read and you know what reading is fundamental.

32:03.78
J. Aundrea
Oh boy.

32:07.45
Bruce Anthony
Is it a Huffington post or the huff post I think it's the huff post There was a huff post article titled Florida school district pulls dictionaries encyclopedias from library over sexual content I'm going to repeat that ladies and gentlemen in case, you. And case you're like wait a minute I know he didn't just say what I think he said yeah I did a Florida school district has pulled dictionaries and encyclopedias from the library over sexual content. So I'm going to butcher like I always do the name of this county. I think itscomes cam s cambia Escambia Escambia County school district in Florida repeatedly repeatedly pulled multiple dictionaries and reference books off its library shelves for including descriptions of sexual conduct. The district alleged.

32:45.20
J. Aundrea
This its come I think it's a scambia. Yeah.

33:02.24
Bruce Anthony
Allegedly removed 5 different dictionaries 8 encyclopedias and the Guinness book of world records from its collection. This action was taken action after determining that these titles could violate Florida's H B Ten Sixty Nine Bill which restricts sexual content.

33:16.39
J. Aundrea
Which the fact that it has 69 and it is pretty funny. Yeah, she right.

33:21.15
Bruce Anthony
Right? 10 n sixty nine 10 sixty nine so you got 10 60 nines in your bill and this bill which restricts sexual content from being taught in schools. The books were among 1600 titles. The public school district took. Out of circulation last summer. Ah also they decommissioned titles that also include biographies of Beyonce Lady Gaga Opra Andrey Nicki Minaj and Thurgood Marshall there's ah there's kind of a theme um with those. Um.

33:39.40
J. Aundrea
M.

33:54.52
J. Aundrea
Me.

33:57.74
Bruce Anthony
With those biographies that was being taken down I know everybody's going to say it's it's not all about race. What about what about lady Gaga well it can. Yes, she's a woman so race and women Florida seems to be pouring out through much of their legislation that they don't like people of color or women.

34:05.24
J. Aundrea
She's a woman. No.

34:15.80
J. Aundrea
Or the lg b tary who who lady Gaga makes music for no, she's straight well she might be by I don't know I don't know for song.

34:16.34
Bruce Anthony
Um, that are they al are that right is she a part of the community. Ok yeah I don't I don't know her personal life. Ah Pen America a free speech adverscy group join students parents. Student parents book publishers and authors in a suit which unless district violated the rights to free speech and equal protection under the law with its decision and of course the school district said hey look banning. The books are inaccurate. We simply pulled them. Further review so they're just not in circulation and being allowed in the schools anymore which is semantics. That's a ban. Um, now some of these books I noticed that they they did they did they get rid of Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer

35:04.53
J. Aundrea
Um, um.

35:11.59
Bruce Anthony
Which has the n-word in them. Yeah I don't I don't think that they I don't think that they did so um, but I don't know for sure. So let me not throw. Let me not throw shade at that particular situation. But when they were getting rid of some of these literary works.

35:11.76
J. Aundrea
I Would like to know that.

35:25.18
J. Aundrea
Um.

35:27.34
J. Aundrea
M.

35:29.81
Bruce Anthony
That had sexual content in it. Okay, maybe but now they're getting away with stuff that actually all of it teaches knowledge right? All of this stuff teaches knowledge Even the literary works teach knowledge but not at getting rid of stuff that literally teaches definition of words.

35:39.31
J. Aundrea
You're right.

35:49.21
Bruce Anthony
Google isn' an encyclopedia imagine you didn't have Google anymore. we' be walking around dumbs hillll arguing with folks all day long because let me tell you I Google the hell out of stuff all day long I don't know about that the kind of cost when when I was there. Ah for siblings Christmas ah, ever.

35:57.56
J. Aundrea
Constantly concept. Yes, every conversation we had. We had to Google something at least 3 or 4 times. Yes.

36:09.17
Bruce Anthony
We had to Google some 3 or 4 times and I know Google was like man y don't know nothing. Ah well and okay, that's what we got Google I swear all of this book banning and is stripping away under guises of sexual content or ah.

36:14.12
J. Aundrea
Yeah, do just want to speak accurately. That's all.

36:27.42
J. Aundrea
Me home.

36:28.10
Bruce Anthony
Racism quote unquote their version of reverse or racism or anything that makes little white kids feel guilty I Really feel like this is a blatant attempt at dumbing down the next generation. So that Idiot politicians such as.

36:33.81
J. Aundrea
And.

36:46.74
Bruce Anthony
I don't know the former president Donald Trump or Ron Desantis or Abbott let me pull up some dumb Democrats too. So I'm not attacking all republicans um a dumb democrat a dumb Democrat I'm sure we out here.

36:49.95
J. Aundrea
Um.

36:59.31
J. Aundrea
I'll wait.

37:04.75
Bruce Anthony
There's some. There's some dumb Democrats out there. Um ok I know y'all will give me some um Mark Warner maybe Mark Warner I don't think he's really popular and in the state of Virginia I don't know maybe Mark Warner Bubba did some foul stuff.

37:05.15
J. Aundrea
Now wait.

37:23.51
Bruce Anthony
You know Bill Clinton he did some Fa stuff you know he's a rhodes scholar he's r scholar ah but but I think this is ah, an attempt, a blatantant attempt to dumb down the next generation you strip away. Somebody's critical thinking. You could tell them.

37:25.77
J. Aundrea
He's also a rhodes scholar he reads.

37:42.76
Bruce Anthony
What to think and what to believe and if you if you if they don't have the critical thinking. They're just gonna follow your lead and I think that's what they're doing right now. What do you think.

37:50.49
J. Aundrea
Yeah I mean this is fahrenheit four fifty one but farhrenfhe 55 is a book I think they made it into a movie I think Michael B Jordan was in it I don't know that it was worth seeing. But.

37:58.30
Bruce Anthony
Um, okay, you had to that.

38:09.91
J. Aundrea
The book is the book is basically about censorship in the United States they go around. Ah they have a job called a fireman and they actually go around burning books and the temperature at which a book burns is is four hundred and fifty one degrees fahrenheit

38:23.95
Bruce Anthony
Um.

38:29.69
Bruce Anthony
Um.

38:29.94
J. Aundrea
Um, so I mean that it was just a foreshadowing of where we are right now and it's It's not new obviously ah governments trying to control and there there was a time in which.

38:46.99
J. Aundrea
Ah, the pro. The proletariat couldn't even read right? like ah the access to reading and books was only reserved for the rich or or the clergy so them trying to control. Um.

38:48.58
Bruce Anthony
M.

38:59.25
Bruce Anthony
Um.

39:06.32
J. Aundrea
The dissemination of information and knowledge. That's not new. Um, is's gonna it's gonna back? Well I think it is gonna backfire because what because what is ultimately the result.

39:12.73
Bruce Anthony
Is it going to backfire I think.

39:23.27
J. Aundrea
It's children with less knowledge about the world. It's children with less access to knowledge and they will become teenagers who know less adults who know less and then next thing you know we're no longer competitive.

39:31.79
Bruce Anthony
Um, and who.

39:34.61
Bruce Anthony
Um, right right.

39:41.95
J. Aundrea
In the world. It was. It is currently people coming from all over the world to go to our universities. That's not going to be a thing eventually.

39:49.94
Bruce Anthony
Um, ah well, the good thing about this is not every state is doing something like this so they'll be.

39:58.60
J. Aundrea
Right? This is a county in Florida.

40:03.67
Bruce Anthony
Well Florida is pretty much as the state is doing this type of stuff. Florida Texas we've talked about Mississippi I think Alabama and arkassas they all have similar things like this. So what's going to happen is is that the kids coming up in those states that are being deprived of this information.

40:15.20
J. Aundrea
Um.

40:21.64
J. Aundrea
See yeah.

40:22.41
Bruce Anthony
They're going to be dumb as hell. But there's still going to be many Americans across the states that don't have these bills that are that're going to have access to this information that are going to be thinkers. The problem is.

40:28.35
J. Aundrea
Yeah, but now you've made those kids not competitive with other kids in this country.

40:38.50
Bruce Anthony
Yes, and then that's how you get January six on 2000 2021 you get a people ah get a bunch of people who are fed lies that don't have critical thinking and they storm a capital trying to overthrow a government.

40:41.27
J. Aundrea
So.

40:53.61
J. Aundrea
Um, because.

40:55.61
Bruce Anthony
And they literally said that this they said there's people there were there that said there's a revolution a revolution to what.

40:58.91
J. Aundrea
Yeah, right? What is your? what do you think is going to happen The fact that you thought because again you don't know history because you don't read and also the history books be lying to you you.

41:04.92
Bruce Anthony
Um, what is your end goal.

41:10.52
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, don't read. Yeah no.

41:17.95
J. Aundrea
Thought that it was possible in 2021 to storm the capol and revolt you thought post-civil war the United States government was going to allow something like that to occur because you all know nothing.

41:26.37
Bruce Anthony
In here. Oh because you'll know nothing. Oh but it's still a possibility. It could still happen there could there could be another civil War. It just wouldn't be north and South It would just be.

41:41.60
J. Aundrea
Um, what it.

41:50.65
Bruce Anthony
The people that want to preserve the proper democracy and people that want to start an authoritative ah government because that's essentially what those people want to do is start an authoritative government.

41:59.63
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, it's it's It's so insane. This is my last thought about this isn't even about this but this is my last thought this. It's all a part of it. It's so insane that.

42:10.36
Bruce Anthony
It's all a part of it though.

42:16.24
J. Aundrea
What they say out of their mouths is less government but what they vote and what they do what their actions suggest is that they want more government to make decisions in their lives and it's so strange. It's so.

42:28.67
Bruce Anthony
No yes you yeah Okay, so you're right and you're wrong at the same time and let me explain why they do want more government but not in their lives and the people that disagree with them's lives so they don't want.

42:33.99
J. Aundrea
Strange. M.

42:43.21
J. Aundrea
Yes, Okay, yes, you're right.

42:47.20
Bruce Anthony
Don't take my second amendment but we'll attack your first amendment. Don't attack my second amendment but we'll attack your fourteenth amendment all right? So so.

43:01.90
J. Aundrea
Um, yes, and and don't violate my first amendment right to violate your first amendment right? It's like.

43:05.39
Bruce Anthony
Leave my stuff alone. Her rights? Yes, yeah, yeah, you beat me to the punch I was going get eventually lead there but you even to the punch. Yeah don't violate my first amendment right? while I'm violating your first amendment right? Yes, it is people that that that want their way of life to permeate.

43:20.44
J. Aundrea
Right.

43:28.98
Bruce Anthony
And be that as America because for some strange reason they think America is let's just say christian well let's just say christian let's just say Christian because they're willing to accept people that aren't white.

43:36.40
J. Aundrea
Straight white christian.

43:47.48
Bruce Anthony
Follow the rules of what they believe christianity is they're willing to accept them because they will prop up Tim Scott now not not Jesus's teachings not not not Jesus's teachings um yeah yeah not sequel ah

43:49.21
J. Aundrea
Yeah, cause this's because they are not proud. They are not practicing christianity. No no, not the sequel.

44:06.74
Bruce Anthony
but but no so yeah, this is all a part of that right? So yeah, you know hey that's the reason why somebody somebody accused me today of being of they said Bruce you're not judgmental. Why are you saying something. It was something I said about Jason Whitlock which I'll get into on the episode on tuesday.

44:07.81
J. Aundrea
A a.

44:24.30
J. Aundrea
M.

44:26.58
Bruce Anthony
But they say Bruce you're not judgmental I said that's absolutely not true. I am absolutely judgmental I said but I'm judgmental about certain things I'm judgmental about people who want to do harm to other people that is not affecting them so people who are openly saying will.

44:29.80
J. Aundrea
Yes.

44:45.96
Bruce Anthony
Well I want to Transgender shouldn't have any rights and I'm like well how many transgender people do you know how? how much is this actually influencing your life. Why do you really care? what another person is doing when it doesn't affect you Well I don't think my kids you have to see it where your kids are gonna live in the world.

44:51.30
J. Aundrea
Um, right.

44:59.47
J. Aundrea
Yeah, you.

45:01.62
Bruce Anthony
I Mean if you want to keep them in home school and I mean you have those type options if you want to if you want to surround them with lies but that's not the world that we live in and you can't change that world. So I don't ah I judge those people that think that way.

45:08.77
J. Aundrea
New I don't think holding people accountable is judgmental.

45:18.12
J. Aundrea
Okay, well because a ship because I a shit. Yeah.

45:20.71
Bruce Anthony
I Judge those I judge people right? Yeah well I judge people I Judge people who want to do harm to other people that harm doesn't always have to be physical. It can be through legislation things of that nature right? right? and I'm super judgmental on.

45:26.49
J. Aundrea
Um, yes, which is the most harmful in a lot of ways. So.

45:40.44
Bruce Anthony
Um, oh my goodness. What's the word I'm thinking of Jesus I just blanked. Ah when you went contradictions I'm super judgmental or people that contradict themselves not contradict themselves. What's the what's the person who is.

45:43.62
J. Aundrea
Was it sound like.

45:51.14
J. Aundrea
Um, okay yeah hypocrites. Yeah I think everyone it I mean.

Let's get into pop culture which I interviewed ah Dr Adrian this past Tuesday the episode released this past Tuesday we're talking about pop culture and the the.

47:39.66
J. Aundrea
Yeah. Yeah.

47:48.66
J. Aundrea
My bestie.

47:52.37
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, yeah, she she really wants to she really wants to meet you but be talking about pop culture and the misrepretations and inequalities based off of gender sexuality and race you could check that out that's already on air pumping out pumping out these interviews. y'a I'm pumping out these interviews now this the 100 to 200 gonna be a lot more interviews. But as we segue to pop culture something happened this past week there was a video that was all over the internet and I could not find the original video without people making commentary all over it.

48:15.56
J. Aundrea
Um.

48:18.64
J. Aundrea
M.

48:30.36
Bruce Anthony
So'm gonna give you guys a synopsis of the video and me and my sister are gonna talk about it. So it's a gentleman with I don't know 5 or 6 women and they're all out to dinner and the server is asking. Did you want any dessert and everybody is like no and the guy at the table. The loan guy at the table says hey.

48:34.41
J. Aundrea
Um.

48:49.90
Bruce Anthony
I want to split and check off I'm going to pay for the birthday girl. My wife and me the remaining 3 ladies at the table like wait a minute what about us and he was like I'm not paying for y'all and they are like you're the only man here you're supposed to be paying and his wife was like no, he's my husband.

48:57.62
J. Aundrea
M.

49:06.82
J. Aundrea
The right to right.

49:08.94
Bruce Anthony
And he was like I'm paying for my wife and the birthday girl. But that's all I'm paying for and they were like well y' all invited us in and the his wife did invite them to celebrate their friend's birthday so she made the plans.

49:22.21
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

49:26.36
Bruce Anthony
But he was like that. Don't mean that I pay for y'all I'm paying for my wife myself and the birthday girl y'all got to pay for yourself and a couple of women walked out. It was a $700 bill a couple of women walked out I don't know what the outcome of the bill was um, outcome of the video was or what he decided to do but I thought this was an interesting topic.

49:32.72
J. Aundrea
Um.

49:43.50
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

49:45.50
Bruce Anthony
To one talk about this particular instance and then also just talk about who pays for the bill when there's a birthday dinner. So let's talk. Let's tackle. The first thing Jay what do you think of the women that said, why aren't you paying for us.

49:51.58
J. Aundrea
M.

50:01.80
J. Aundrea
I thought it was ridiculous. Let's be honest and and say and then saying that please alpha men do not come into the comments talking about she write. She does see do dead Jona she knows she talking about because the moment alpha males.

50:18.46
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, you mean like in the first segment when you made me agree with white conservatives right? Yeah I didn't like that stance you put me in no I wasn't.

50:20.85
J. Aundrea
Start agreeing with me I know I've done something wrong, but exactly you you weren't agreeing with white conservatives.

50:35.90
Bruce Anthony
But I was definitely doing some talking points that I didn't like.

50:38.11
J. Aundrea
but but I think I think first of all everybody should have been fighting over who's gonna pay for the birthday girl. That's yourall friend. Ok he was the first person to offer.

50:48.71
Bruce Anthony
Yes, your friend.

50:57.80
J. Aundrea
He has no responsibility whatsoever to pay for the rest of their meals. He had no responsibility to the birthday girl. Honestly, he only it only to his family and and to his points and my my my family here I'm paying for my family.

51:05.55
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, not really no.

51:13.30
Bruce Anthony
Oh.

51:17.21
J. Aundrea
And I want to pay for the birthday girl because it's her birthday. She shouldn't have to pay for her birthday dinner or her birthday. But y'all have us this is your friend. What do I have to do with the 3 ah y'all nothing and the fact that because I'm a man.

51:21.47
Bruce Anthony
Um, right, right? exactly.

51:36.17
J. Aundrea
Here at the table. Okay, if he came sat down and wasn't gonna pay nothing let his wife take care of a bill for him and her and then then you could be like Wow you're not even gonna take care of your wife but that's not what he did. He did what he was supposed to do.

51:52.25
Bruce Anthony
Ah, yeah, so I when I watched the original video and I wish I could find it right? Um, and when I watched the original video and I wish I could find it so I could play it for you guys. But if you just Google search.

51:55.62
J. Aundrea
If you believe in those gendered roles and things like that.

52:05.87
Bruce Anthony
Several hundred dollars birthday bill women. Want man to pay for the bill. You could find a video or you could find commentary and the video. Well I it was specific because I was trying to find our original video and I could not find the original video so an original video I went into the comments because I was like oh Lord I know what I'm gonna see.

52:08.22
J. Aundrea
That is a lengthy search topic but it was just now. Yeah.

52:24.83
Bruce Anthony
I'm going to see a bunch of men on here saying she this res well do nothing bunch of Alpha Men What you were talking about so I wanted to get a woman's perspective and to my surprise there were a lot of women that had your stance that was just like no, that's not his responsibility.

52:28.94
J. Aundrea
Oh.

52:44.53
Bruce Anthony
Ah, and then a lot of them were saying oh home a birthday girl need to get some new friends because the ones that there were 2 girls that walked out that didn't even continue to argue. They were just like oh no I'm not paying I'm not paying for anything and then walked out they didn't they didn't even offer to pay for the birthday girl they said they weren't paying for anything.

52:46.55
J. Aundrea
Yes.

52:56.31
J. Aundrea
Yeah, bright.

53:03.71
Bruce Anthony
All the while carrying Chanel bags so that aggravated me um, just but but I I wouldn't put myself in that situation because I would've been like ah baby you can go ahead and go to your girl's birthday part out and really need to be there.

53:03.99
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

53:20.76
J. Aundrea
Oh no, it's very simple. This is what I do if we're having a dinner I'll let you know, ah you know there's a 2 drink minimum or ah, you know if we go on the fogo to chow some hey just letting y'all know it's $49 per person or it was I think they raised the price. But.

53:28.80
Bruce Anthony
That yeah.

53:37.71
J. Aundrea
Um, you know I let I let people know. Ah actually I'm going to brunch this weekend and even though a friend of mine. He booked the reservation. He also sent us scree shots of like hey this is the dress code. This is this is that like just.

53:47.91
Bruce Anthony
I.

53:54.82
J. Aundrea
So you guys know and are aware. They don't split check so we need to come up with you know, a plan or what we gonna do Bob but okay, yeah, so I know where we're stand I know where we stand but that I also think it's fair for somebody to say I invited you guys out I'm taking care of this.

53:59.25
Bruce Anthony
Ah, Ryan ah.

54:12.56
Bruce Anthony
Yeah I mean you could do that? Yeah, you could do that? yeah.

54:14.46
J. Aundrea
Yeah, but I said that I said it though don't assume don't assume a damn thing because assume that's gonna be your ass I don't stay assume makes a ass out of you I say it's gonna be your ass. Don't assume.

54:22.79
Bruce Anthony
Um, right.

54:27.37
Bruce Anthony
Do you really say that did you just make that up on the spot. Ok I well I'm I'm port betrayying another confidence here we have so here is a story. 1 of my friends had a birthday party and it was a big dinner.

54:31.19
J. Aundrea
No I Do says you if you assume that's your ass. Oh here we go.

54:44.90
Bruce Anthony
I would say it was about 7 different couples at this party so it was like 14 people and b and the girl I was dating at the time went to this party and there's dinner.

54:46.40
J. Aundrea
And.

55:00.48
Bruce Anthony
And I was living with this woman would eventually become my wife so it was my ex-wife but she was just somebody I was dating at that time we lived together but we weren't engaged or anything but we had joint accounts and and it was a it wasn't a great financial time for either 1 of us because we was both trying to do some things. So.

55:00.73
J. Aundrea
Um.

55:18.30
Bruce Anthony
We were. We were at the startup of the things that we were trying to do so we were like hey we're gonna go but we ain't gonna spend a lot of money and I was I was like yeah we not gonna spend a lot of money. Don't worry about it. Baby. We're not gonna spend a lot of money so we go and we get like 1 drink apiece and we literally order one of the cheapest entrees. On the menu right? There was another couple that was ordering champagne and the most expensive drinks and and most expensive entrees in the whole 9 bill comes 1 bill. They said we just gonna split it down the middle and divide it.

55:38.47
J. Aundrea
Um, and.

55:51.31
J. Aundrea
Um, know we not.

55:56.86
Bruce Anthony
My other boy was there and he was like Bruce what did you get? I said I didn't get with this total outcome of what they're trying to get us to pay but it was a friend of mine so I was just like I told my ex I was like don't worry about that I'll just pay for the whole thing. This is not going to come out of the joint account I'll just pay for the whole thing. She was like but that's not right. It isn't fair and I was like it is fair because a total amount that each person had to pay that was an even amount for everybody was less than what this one couple spent right? So they ended up winning out in the end because but an in at the end.

56:28.39
J. Aundrea
Um, yes.

56:34.90
Bruce Anthony
Because my one boy would not let this go and then finally the friend that had the birthday had to be like look we got stiffed because everybody was supposed to give us cash and stuff like that and we ended up being short so we had to come out the pocket. And I was like man that really sucks for your birthday and I known that I would have given a little bit more because it is your birthday like you shouldn't have had to go through that. Also you got some f up friends because because like we wouldn't have done that to you So like.

56:50.77
J. Aundrea
Um.

56:54.40
J. Aundrea
Right. Um, yeah, yeah.

57:06.95
Bruce Anthony
There's part part of the reason why I don't do dinner stuff like that with people no more I don't like to do it. Yeah and we we told that on the show before.

57:09.60
J. Aundrea
Yeah, will you know my experience that one don't don't don't order a bunch of stuff and think you gonna split this down the middle. The hell you not everybody gone take a take your calculators and your pens out.

57:19.45
Bruce Anthony
And yeah.

57:27.69
J. Aundrea
Circle the stuff you got added up put that tax on there 7% include a tip and cash at me and if and if I come up short I'm call land y'all and figuring out who the hell owes me money.

57:31.50
Bruce Anthony
And include the tip.

57:41.94
Bruce Anthony
Now we're talking about grouplaing and gentlemen. We're not talking about if it's just you and your friend going out and y'all are eating and whatever and y'all decide to split the check down the middle. 1 person may had a little bit more they don't matter because y'all are friends. You have an establishment that somewhere down the line is all going even out right? like you get that.

57:48.18
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, yeah.

57:58.13
J. Aundrea
Yes, yes.

58:00.42
Bruce Anthony
We're talking about groups especially groups with people that you kind of know but not really because a friends of a friend now man like so I I um, ah I hope that brother didn't have to pay for the whole $700 Bill um I would be those women.

58:05.36
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

58:16.66
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah.

58:19.58
Bruce Anthony
That left on the bill I would tell my girl be like look hey you need to call your friends and you need to tell them whatever dude that they're dating gonna have to come see me because somebody owe me some money now I can't check them. You should be fighting them I can't fight them.

58:27.85
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yes.

58:36.70
Bruce Anthony
But I could fight whatever man that they dealing with because of their mess so you need to let them know that it's about to be a problem.

58:41.50
J. Aundrea
Yeah I mean some friendships died that night if it was me first of all, first of all, don't talk to my husband like that I felt so bad for the birthday girl. But first of all, don't talk to my husband like that second of all, it's given broke.

58:44.87
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, the birthday girl like.

58:55.80
Bruce Anthony
H.

58:58.96
J. Aundrea
It's given real broke. It's given broken and title which those 2 things don't mix.

59:01.32
Bruce Anthony
Right? She did I the longer clip she does stand up for like no, he's paying for me and her and y'all are not involved like why he's the only guy here is like and then she says something like well I got a man y'all need to get you one. She said something like that. Um, but you know.

59:07.58
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

59:14.78
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

59:20.10
Bruce Anthony
If y'all could find the video watch the video. It's pretty good I Just thought it was interesting thing to talk about because yo money and friends and stuff like that cause a lot of problems loaning people money too. You know that caused a lot of problems out there in these streets. So be careful.

59:29.16
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah, there's There's no such thing as loan of people money if that's what I that's the position that I operate from there's no such thing as loan of people money when I give somebody some money I don't expect to get it back if I get it back Great if I don't okay. Because if I don't definitely because that $50 I lent you got you out my life. That's that's something I learned from my father it cost you $50 to never hear from that person again. Congratulations. Oh well.

01:00:04.94
J. Aundrea
But Dad did listen. That's what I live by because there there's been a couple people over the time where I lett money out never heard and I never heard from again and I had to deal with you know more? yeah.

01:00:18.68
