J. Aundrea
We aren't We are not that is correct.

03:24.62
Bruce Anthony
You know mom and dad when we were growing up Dad would do some situps and have some mickalobes while he was doing sit-ups which I always thought was just absolutely hilarious. He's doing situps while drinking Micul Lobes I'm like dad are you sitting there doing sit-ups and tricking mickalobes.

03:32.24
J. Aundrea
I Feel like they were mic a lobe lights. So I feel like oh well.

03:42.45
Bruce Anthony
No, no, no, no, no, they were micchelobes. He may a got micallobe lights later but they they were the bottle of Micullobes this is this is 1990 s y'all Micillobe sold little it was almost like little pony bottles but they were bigger than pony bottles but whatever he was sitting up there doing.

03:54.18
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

03:57.59
Bruce Anthony
Crunches or setups ah during this time people did sit ups until you realize how bad it is for your back. Um, doing situps and I'll be like dad that you that's not how this works he's like Luo won't gain. No more weight I was like you know what I can't really argue with that logic right.

04:09.48
J. Aundrea
You know, valid valid like that's fair and you know what? hey he's got a point hey.

04:16.95
Bruce Anthony
No, that's not how that works but okay, no, it didn't work. Dad's look dad's weight would fluctuate during my early high school years and what would happen was is that.

04:23.80
J. Aundrea
I Feel like it did work.

04:31.69
J. Aundrea
M.

04:36.61
Bruce Anthony
He would go out there and challenge me to play basketball and he got to a point where there just was no challenge anymore. But he's still a young man when you think about it I'm sixteen years old my dad is only 37 38 he's younger than I am right now. So.

04:49.88
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah.

04:55.11
Bruce Anthony
He's out there and like no I'm still a young man I can still go out there and play it and I'm dogging him but that his ego couldn't take that so he would go out and train. It'd be like this rocky mont montage he would go on the track he would go in the street. He would go running doing whatever he needed to do to get a shape to try and. Compete with me on the basketball court so he would get big play me get dogged lose weight play me again and get dogged again right now. Ah me at 16 no if I could.

05:15.97
J. Aundrea
M.

05:22.45
J. Aundrea
Could you play a sixteen year old yes yeah

05:32.15
Bruce Anthony
If I saw me at 16 on the basketball court you say hey you want play 1 and one no I'm a tear my achilles like I'm scared to tear my achilles running on the treadmill.

05:35.88
J. Aundrea
Yeah out I I'm a be honest with you at my big age I wouldn't even engage in a conversation with a child like it's like it's I couldn't even keep up in our argument like I'm just.

05:50.22
Bruce Anthony
Um.

05:51.77
J. Aundrea

06:14.14
Bruce Anthony
Look let me tell you some last weekend I was kicking it with my bestie and to my credit she told me later on that day that she found out from contractors that were coming in to do work that whoever built that house.

06:17.65
J. Aundrea
M.

06:31.70
J. Aundrea
A.

06:33.23
Bruce Anthony
Built the stairs illegally like the stairs are built Illegally yeah, it could be like slope or whatever I don't know but they're they're built illegally and let me tell you there. Um, the steps are actually small so only half of my foot can fit on the step.

06:36.14
J. Aundrea
How how can stairs be illegal. Okay.

06:47.73
J. Aundrea
Yeah, right? Okay, okay.

06:52.95
Bruce Anthony
And and they kind of curve at the top and they're steep and I didn't realize it at the time but I thought she had candles on her step but they weren't real candles. They were just like candles that had no, it was light but.

07:05.12
J. Aundrea
Like electronic candles. Yeah.

07:08.64
Bruce Anthony
It was a yeah but I didn't know I was like oh she got some real candles on these stairs I need to be careful not to knock these over I I know that got to be a fire hazard but okay, they it they looked really realistic looking So her bathroom is upstairs. So I go upstairs use the bathroom and there's a coming downstairs. First of all I'm stepping down sideways.

07:13.90
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, some of them are pretty realistic looking. So yeah.

07:25.50
J. Aundrea
Who.

07:27.38
Bruce Anthony
Because that's the only way my foot can be on the stairs am I moving a little rough nowadays. Yes, because I've changed up my workouts So my body is trying to get used to this and and I'm getting older and I'm a little I kind of walk like a old man Sometimes she's cover your kids' ears.

07:31.55
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

07:40.29
J. Aundrea
Who.

07:46.90
Bruce Anthony
She said as I walking down the stairs. Why are you walking down the stairs like a little bitch I said what she's like why are you walking down the stairs like you are old and crickety I was like yo you do realize I'm 43 like I may act younger. But.

08:01.86
J. Aundrea
Um, me yeah yeah, like I'm childish but I'm not a child like that's relax, relax and that.

08:04.43
Bruce Anthony
I'm almost in my mid 40 s I'm middle aged right now. Well I don't know I wouldn't call myself childish I said young I oh okay okay I thought that was a dig at me because I took the shot about your internet.

08:14.67
J. Aundrea
No I said I'm childish but I'm not a child. Yeah, no, no I'm talking about me. No no I'm I'm not you? yeah.

08:25.92
Bruce Anthony
No shut the hell up because yes, you are we grew up for the same. How do you? You always take a shot to me, Let let me say let me ah misenunciate some words I know I didn't even exactly right dad Do it.

08:28.42
J. Aundrea
I.

08:35.70
J. Aundrea
First of all misenunciate is crazy misenunciate is crazy and let me tell you something here's why I do this here's why I correct you because I don't want you going out there among the.

08:44.18
Bruce Anthony
Um.

08:54.29
J. Aundrea
Among the populists and saying misenunciate now. Now you've already said it's on the internet. It's done. It's done. It's done and it's crazy. Okay.

08:54.51
Bruce Anthony
Ah I said yes is done is done.

09:04.46
Bruce Anthony
We got to be careful because we can't be stealing stuff from other podcasts because Cameron got his podcast. It is what it is and they say crazy in reference to something else. Okay.

09:15.33
J. Aundrea
I Don't know I've never seen it So I assure you I've never um, but for something to be crazy I don't think that anybody's got a trademark on that I don't.

09:25.59
Bruce Anthony
Well now I mean what they just? Okay so I'm going lean into this because I I actually want to get some dialogue back about ah is it appropriate for me to laugh at this is it inappropriate for me to laugh at this. Do you know? what? the pause game is okay, it's very childish game that men have been playing since late 90 s maybe early two thousand s where if you say something that would be deemed as homosexual you say pause.

09:44.31
J. Aundrea
Now. Um.

09:51.73
J. Aundrea
Okay.

09:57.56
J. Aundrea
Ok, ok, yeah, I've heard that. Yeah yeah, right? It's very offensive. Yeah yeah.

10:01.73
Bruce Anthony
And used the reference. Yeah, the reference used to be no something but nobody says that anymore because that's completely derogatory. Yeah, right? but people still say pause which to me is just coding for no right? but.

10:17.77
J. Aundrea
It's still a dog whistle. Yeah.

10:21.90
Bruce Anthony
But camemron and Mace have a podcast. It is what it is and they say stuff like they'll say stuff like they'll say stuff like yeah man he was coming all over the place when he was like playing a game or something they'll be like whoa now that's crazy.

10:24.56
J. Aundrea
All right.

10:40.19
Bruce Anthony
Pause and I'm like they're banter back and forth. It's funny I Want to laugh at it also extremely offensive the implication of what you're saying not the even implication what you're saying.

10:45.15
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah, yeah, well I'm ah I'm a be honest with you as soon as you say the words Cameron and Mace have a pop.

11:01.20
J. Aundrea
I'm not really going to it for like the high intellectual content looking for anything progressive I'm not looking for any yeah I'm just it's automatically giving me an idea my mind of what that content is about and so.

11:05.52
Bruce Anthony
Now test now.

11:20.50
J. Aundrea
For the people who watch it I didn't even know it existed. But for people who watch it and you laugh at it I mean I don't know and they got you know? yeah.

11:27.50
Bruce Anthony
It's a sports show. They talk about sports more than anything. It's a sports show and they got picked up. They just signed some deal with some um betting company betting companies are giving money out right and left hey ah betting companies if y'all want to. By this Show. We'll we'll put some lines on there for sport and events. My sister loves a gamble I can learn how to gamble you know, do.

11:48.25
J. Aundrea
I wouldn't say I love it. ah I wouldn't say I love it um I went I fully went to vegas last month and didn't gamble. No no.

11:56.29
Bruce Anthony
You didn't do nothing not even the slots. Well okay, well you are you used to like to gamble how about that.

12:02.36
J. Aundrea
I't throw my money away. Ah I ain't throwing good money after bad. What'd you talk about.

12:09.60
J. Aundrea
Ah, you know did I dibble and dabble if the opportunity arose I mean perhaps you act like I but I used to live at the casino and then I went to gamblers anonymous and got my life back together after my.

12:15.35
Bruce Anthony
I. Time out. That's only because because you weren't close to casinos. But now here in the state of Maryland um, there are casinos all over the place. so yes so like

12:27.40
J. Aundrea
M. I didn't know that.

12:37.52
Bruce Anthony
If they were here when you were living here. You would have absolutely gone to the casinos because this was the time where you like to gamble.

12:43.99
J. Aundrea
I still don't know where this characterization is coming from but sure sure I think I think I might have gamble once or twice on a cruise and then all of a sudden. Oh you know John you gotta keep her away from him slots I guess like.

12:49.35
Bruce Anthony
Um, and.

12:58.93
Bruce Anthony
Are but back to the original question I know that there are some racial jokes that people do that are funny and I'm like that's racist, but that's still funny.

13:02.82
J. Aundrea
What I go views.

13:15.76
J. Aundrea
Is a racist I don't know is it Yeah with talking about the the institution of racism. Yeah, maybe okay.

13:16.74
Bruce Anthony
I'm going to laugh at it. Ah, it.

13:25.00
Bruce Anthony
Ah, okay, bigoted okay is bigoted jokes towards black people that white people will say but they do it with such smart humor that is like I'm not offended by this. This is funny.

13:37.53
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, right.

13:41.59
Bruce Anthony
Now I don't speak for the entire black race right? but I want to know is it? okay for me to laugh at the pause game or should I should I I don't know either I need to take a census.

13:48.62
J. Aundrea
I mean I truly I Truly don't know I think yeah.

13:57.38
Bruce Anthony
To all the ah this would be specifically because this is a gay male type game. So I want to speak to all the gay men out there please whether it's the Dms or comments section or our email address on our website hit me up. Let me know.

14:01.60
J. Aundrea
Yeah, right right.

14:14.43
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

14:16.35
Bruce Anthony
What's appropriate and what's not appropriate I'm ignorant to this and I want to learn I don't want to be offensive to your body but same time I Just want to know I get I'm not ah I got to be careful I'm not looking for an excuse to be able to enjoy that game I want.

14:32.26
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

14:36.70
Bruce Anthony
To gain knowledge. So I'm not being offensive to people.

14:36.97
J. Aundrea
I Think you're got to get different responses depending on a person and I think it's just gonna be up to you to decide whether or not but if you already have like some doubts in your mind about whether or not it's appropriate I mean you know just follow that.

14:52.10
Bruce Anthony
Writing Well let's let's just put it this way that guilty arrow on my moral compass is let me know you probably shouldn't be laughing at this and playing that I don't play the game I don't play the game. Ah.

14:57.47
J. Aundrea
M. You know, right? right? right? right? Yeah,, That's pretty recent.

15:08.76
Bruce Anthony
I've retired from playing a game probably about two years ago it took a little while because the game was fun but I retir yeah now that was literally right before now it was during the pandemic it was during the pandemic I was like now I'm not gonna say that anymore. Um, but.

15:21.68
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

15:28.37
Bruce Anthony
I I have to make sure just for myself awareness that when I'm getting the feedback I'm not just taking what's going to make me feel good I'm taking a true ah gathering of all the voices and and really learning from it because people love to.

15:36.70
J. Aundrea
11

15:42.67
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

15:47.82
Bruce Anthony
Be like is it. Okay, if I could say this and then 1 person says that you said that it's okay that you can but to any other say that you can't that you want to ride with that one person said see they don't mind it. That's not how life works all you know what ladies and gentlemen we learn. Ah.

15:50.64
J. Aundrea
Right.

15:56.75
J. Aundrea
Yeah, that's I mean the guy is a term for this called confirmation Bias and.

16:06.93
Bruce Anthony
Phrases and history because my sister is a linguist and I'm historian so we learned today to not say ah, what was that word I used earlier or the phrase I used earlier when I said miss annunciate.

16:17.80
J. Aundrea
I don't I don't know oh misenunate? Yes, yes, good God it it it I guess etymologically you could put it to get yes at well.

16:25.97
Bruce Anthony
Which could be a word. It could be a work.

16:32.79
Bruce Anthony
1

16:36.76
J. Aundrea
It it still you're still using it wrong because you the who you don't really mean enunciate you meant pronounce and it's so you yeah.

16:37.43
Bruce Anthony
I.

16:45.58
Bruce Anthony
So not only not only did I say the word wrong. But I said the meaning the context wasn't even right? yeah.

16:56.76
J. Aundrea
No, so there was set a several layers are wrong in that and and I have to say something because I don't want you to keep going out there and be like do so so like it could be a word. Yeah, that's true, but at least use it in context like.

17:03.48
Bruce Anthony
It.

17:16.75
J. Aundrea
The correct context.

17:18.13
Bruce Anthony
Hey sometimes you just got to misenunciate some words, but.

17:22.16
J. Aundrea
And it's not that you don't you don't have problems with anunciation and pronunciation you do, but but in that specific instance you were talking about the way that you pronounce.

17:32.52
Bruce Anthony
Way that.

17:39.41
Bruce Anthony
Look I got a speech impediment. We've always known that I've struggled with saying words why I decided to start a podcast with my non speaking ass I don't know but you ever say some there are times when I know I'm saying something That's really smart.

17:40.86
J. Aundrea
Ah, word.

17:49.38
J. Aundrea
Um, that's that's the question. Yeah.

17:58.23
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, yeah, yes I think that I think a lot of people have that issue. Yes.

17:58.48
Bruce Anthony
Like the like the context behind it is really really intelligent and smart. But the words that are coming out my mouth are dumb as hell I say I do that a lot I do that a lot but I think the people that. People that are intelligent enough to like I get what you're saying I get what you're trying to say somebody somebody that knows me was like ah they saw some clips and they were like.

18:17.74
J. Aundrea
Yeah I feel you I see where this is going I'm a file I'm a follow you.

18:31.10
Bruce Anthony
Were you drunk when you were filming this because you're always looking around and if you guys watch on the video platform I don't look into the camera a lot I look to the side to the front to the but because I'm trying to find the words to convey what's in my head in my head if if I could crack over my head So y'all could just read my mind. You'd be like oh that brother is deep.

18:42.33
J. Aundrea
Oh.

18:49.38
J. Aundrea
Anyway, yeah.

18:51.10
Bruce Anthony
But when the words come out I sound like that character from a live color that Jailhouse character from a liver color that learned a new word in the dictionary just using it all wrong and and pronounce the word.

18:56.18
J. Aundrea
Yes, yes, just yes.

19:05.10
Bruce Anthony
Or enunciated the word it all wrong I don't even know what difference between pronounce and anunciate is you look at up the definition now time out if you don't know it is You can't joke on me for not knowing what it is.

19:10.65
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah I I can tell. Yeah.

19:17.53
J. Aundrea
I Do know what it is but I want to see if I can explain it in a way that can be understood by everyone. So.

19:26.11
Bruce Anthony
Um, what? what do you? What are you want to make sure that you could dumb it down from everybody.

19:36.73
J. Aundrea
Pronunciation is saying something correctly. Enunciation is pronouncing it so that it's clear right.

19:38.71
Bruce Anthony
Okay.

19:44.39
Bruce Anthony
Yeah I don't do either 1 of those. Well.

19:52.70
Bruce Anthony
But whatever at least the sound quality is good on the podcast. That's yeah, yeah, all my miss all my misenunciations that never I would make that the title of the today's episode but I'm just not gonna do it.

19:54.50
J. Aundrea
Sound quality is great. Everybody can hear every mistake. Yeah, all your misenunciations I. I Think you should.

20:10.37
Bruce Anthony
That that would they no I'm done that gone are the days where truth to power power to truth titles like now we have real titles for the episodes and not and not stuff like that because you have to have listened to the entire episode.

20:19.80
J. Aundrea
The okay.

20:27.14
Bruce Anthony
And people don't listen to the entire episode in 1 sitting because these damn episodes are too long because you so long winded.

20:31.53
J. Aundrea
No, our episodes are an hour and they're pretty consistently an hour and I don't think I'm long winded and also I don't know why you're gunning from me this episode.

20:41.39
Bruce Anthony
You're not.

20:47.17
J. Aundrea
Yeah I mean the representations of my character like.

20:52.84

21:04.38
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

21:05.16
Bruce Anthony
And I say it energy and everybody thought that was hilarious So I was like oh it's hilarious when I attack you.

21:09.46
J. Aundrea

22:25.66
J. Aundrea
Oh this podcast is entertainment. So are you supposed me to entertain you? Yes, yes, they do yes entertainment industry. This is what we're here for.

Yeah I mean I mean it I don't understand why it it can be both. It can be both y'all like it. It can be both you you you'll be fine like learn something have a laugh gone about your day like this.

22:52.70
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, it could be both.

22:59.88
Bruce Anthony
Right? right? and speaking of which you're about to learn something next about Google.

23:19.39
Bruce Anthony
So Jay I sent you an article earlier today. Google's being sued. Um, this is this is not the only lawsuit Google has Google gets sued all the time. But I thought this was really instant this I thought this was really interesting because a man named Philip.

23:20.50
J. Aundrea
Yes.

23:26.19
J. Aundrea
Now constantly.

23:35.10
Bruce Anthony
Paxon died after driving his car off a collapse bridge in North Carolina his family is suing Google for legend. Ah for alleged negligent negligent I just had a flashback to a Bernie Mac episode when he was trying to say negligence.

23:37.42
J. Aundrea
M.

23:54.74
Bruce Anthony
And he couldn't get it right and I just messed up negligence anyway, Google is being sued for alleged negligence claiming that outdated directions from Google mats led to him driving along the dune route. Um the lawsuit also named several private property companies.

23:55.40
J. Aundrea
Um.

24:12.87
Bruce Anthony
Said we're responsible for maintaining the bridge according to their lawyers I thought this was interesting because it's a sad story a man died. That's never funny. Well sometimes a person dying is never funny. Sometimes the means of which a person pass and away.

24:15.30
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

24:20.49
J. Aundrea
Yes, no.

24:32.44
Bruce Anthony
Can be humorous.

24:32.70
J. Aundrea
It can listen and and I'm I'm not above laughing at some things because you know death is a universal thing is's going to happen to all of us. So all of us and everything. So.

24:44.89
Bruce Anthony
In all of us and everything.

24:50.98
J. Aundrea
You know sometimes people died in hilarious ways and and ah you know you got to find some humor and and tragedy this though it really was like a failure on like several fronts of several different parties. But. Ah, yeah, you you know listen the Gps it's not It's not the bible like you can you can also you know be wary of your own.

25:28.21
J. Aundrea
Driving and surroundings and you know I boy some of y'all adhere to it and I you know you see people driving into buildings or different things like that. It's just just because it told you to make a laugh. You should probably look and see if you should make that left but ah from what I could tell from the. Article it was nighttime I'm assuming this was not a well lit area and the bridge wasn't wasn't barricaded. Um, there was no signage. Nothing even though residents had complained for a while about this this being hazardous. Not not just complaining. To Google but also complaining to you know the city like hey ah y'all need to do something about this so very sad, but boy I have questions.

26:17.50
Bruce Anthony
So I've always looked at Gps and it's a global positioning system but it's a guiding system. It's a guide right? and it it goes back this particular situation made me think of.

26:26.95
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah.

26:35.84
Bruce Anthony
That scene in the office where Michael and Dwight were driving somewhere and they were following the navigational system and they were coming up on a river and the navigational system was saying to go straight.

26:45.64
J. Aundrea
M.

26:51.20
Bruce Anthony
And Dwight was telling them. There's a river right in front of us. We need to turn we're heading the wrong direction and Michael was like no the guidance is the Gps is telling me this way. Well obviously it can't be this way and they drove the car into the lake nobody died they got out the car in time. But once again, ladies and gentlemen i.

27:00.84
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

27:10.98
Bruce Anthony
I think there's plenty of people to sue right? All the people that's and associated with the signage that the the building ah the bridge because the bridge had been down since I think 2014 which is.

27:11.35
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah.

27:23.76
J. Aundrea
Two thousand and four thirteen I think

27:27.73
Bruce Anthony
Which is absolutely ridiculous. We're in 2023 I'm assumed that this happened within the last couple of years so even if it's five years after the bridge collapse your local system should have done something to make sure that people don't go down this road. There should be signs that say warning of bridge collapse. Or the road should just absolutely be closed right? You shouldn't have access to the road those people I absolutely believe should be sued because there was a failure of systems right? complete systems breakdown but Google I don't think Google should be sued.

27:47.31
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah.

27:56.16
J. Aundrea
Oh.

28:03.74
J. Aundrea
I Don't agree I got it.

28:04.26
Bruce Anthony
I know that if if Google I don't well they said that they sit Google updates say hey you need to update this is bridge isn't available anymore. Blah blah blah but there's nothing.

28:15.37
J. Aundrea
Yes, residents did notify Google of the hazards according to reports like Cnn Cnn wasn't able to verify it but according to your reports. Yeah right.

28:23.70
Bruce Anthony
According to reports nobody can verify nobody can verify it. This is just what these people are saying um and that shouldn't be hard to trace Google should be like oh yeah, we had these records if they're not trying to cover it anything up but also. Like I don't understand how this could be on Google like Google Maps is a guidance system. First of all, why are you using Google maps for navigation. Anyway, if you ain't using waves then I don't know what's wrong with you. So.

28:52.91
J. Aundrea
um um I am a ways girlie um, for sure I've given out I gave up Google Maps a long time ago.

29:00.70
Bruce Anthony
Google Maps don't even update you waves if waves if this was a waves accident I get it because they give you stuff in real time google maps don't really give you stuffing in real time it tries to but it doesn't okay.

29:09.85
J. Aundrea
Let let's just I want to back up a little bit. What's the what's the app that you use I So I'd like you to pronounce.

29:19.30
Bruce Anthony
What we we talk about. Are ways WaZE no I didn't put no v in there.

29:27.38
J. Aundrea
The name of the app that you use for Gps can you spell that? Okay, ok because I heard waves I heard waves no okay.

29:43.73
Bruce Anthony
You know where that's your faulty internet. No time out, you tried to attack me what talk now that was.

29:47.17
J. Aundrea
Again here we go? Um, no, no no I I just wanted to be cleaner because I heard I heard who hit and the pretty a glitch. And the pronunciation.

30:05.98
Bruce Anthony
No, it wasn't a glitch in the pronunciation I pronounced it right ways. So um, yeah, but I mean I don't think Google should should be sued everybody else absolutely because it's a fair, the failure of your local systems.

30:08.70
J. Aundrea
Okay, continue.

30:21.60
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

30:23.21
Bruce Anthony
But Google like no, that's like if I do a Google search on hey I need a help writing a report on birds like I'm in I'm in high school or something they help writing a report on birds and I do a Google search on birds and it gives me faulty information because Google is a. Search engine. So it's just giving you a bunch of different information at the same time and then I take that information I write my report I turn in and I fail it because the information was wrong. That's not Google's fault

30:48.95
J. Aundrea
I think the situation is different. So if if if Google wasn't aware that the bridge was out then okay I can see them having that.

30:53.81
Bruce Anthony
Um, I mean yes, somebody died.

31:07.43
J. Aundrea
Plausible deniability. But if it does come out that or it's somehow verified that people did advise Google hey you keep sending people down a bridge that's collapsed. You need to update your map. First of all.

31:15.63
Bruce Anthony
Um.

31:26.13
J. Aundrea
Usually updates their maps more often than ah yeah I thought because this happened in September of twenty twenty two. So the bridge was the bridge. We've been out for 9 years

31:27.54
Bruce Anthony
7 years so I

31:40.13
Bruce Anthony
Yes I don't think that's all Google I really don't I think it's on the local systems they failed they felt Mr. Philip Paxon

31:45.63
J. Aundrea
If yeah I definitely agree with that. But if Google was made aware that they were sending that their maps were sending people down a bridge that was out and had been out for some time. Nearly a decade and they did not update the map to just simply note that the road was closed which is another reason why I like ways because as a ways user I can if I come up across something and a road is out or there's construction something I can. Alert other wazers that this is that you can't do that with Google maps though. Um, and it's also different because Google itself sends cars out to come up with these maps they use they use obviously Google. Global positioning satellites. But then they also drive the roads themselves. Um, it's not like googling something for information and it's pulling from different sources on the internet Google is responsible for its own maps.

32:54.64
Bruce Anthony
Um, okay, yes, that is true.

32:59.86
J. Aundrea
And so if they're if their maps are unsafe and something like this happens they open themselves up to lawsuits.

33:10.63
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, yeah, okay I are all right in the pecking order of of I would.

33:17.47
J. Aundrea
I mean yeah, it was could good. Could they could they argue human error. Sure um I don't think they're going to do that I think just based on just based on Google's response

33:27.68
Bruce Anthony
No, they'll be dumb.

33:35.32
J. Aundrea
Ah, when they reached out to Google for us a response and Google said that they ah were going to review the lawsuit that that to me scream settlement. Yeah.

33:48.70
Bruce Anthony
Oh yeah, they're gonna settle but they would settle Anyway, whether they were at fault or not just because this is bad as Publicberity Plum Pubusity Club Publicity Ah who having a tough day ladies and gentlemen having a tough day getting these words out.

33:54.22
J. Aundrea
Yes.

34:02.95
J. Aundrea
And notice I left it alone. Good.

34:06.28
Bruce Anthony
So okay, if people people people watching on the video could see your face you wanted sits up this up. Yeah, yeah, yeah people watching the video Ca see your face it just being like like my face when you said Waivers wave wazrs and I.

34:11.46
J. Aundrea
Oh I forgot about that I forgot about that.

34:23.96
J. Aundrea
Wazers. That's what they're called that is what they're called. It's it's all well yes on the app where do people who use people who use waz are called wazers.

34:25.76
Bruce Anthony
Is it I've never heard that expression before but I don't drive anymore. So I guess okay, if it's on wazers. Okay, that's ah hey it's good to know. Um, first of all to the pas of family. We want to sayar you know nobody wants to lose a loved one. And that's sad because I think he was going to visit his daughter. Yeah so I mean there's a baby girl out there. His baby girl is gonna miss her Daddy. So this is really sad. Um.

34:48.53
J. Aundrea
Um, he was coming from his daughter's ninth birthday party.

34:56.67
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah.

35:04.74
J. Aundrea
I Don't know what to say about it I I But I think that this is definitely a ah, a failure on behalf of the people who are supposed to maintain that road and maintain that bridge and and if it does come out that.

35:13.48
Bruce Anthony
Early.

35:20.51
J. Aundrea
Google had been alerted by several residents over the years about this bridge being out and they did not update that map. They're gonna have some culpability in that. Yeah.

35:31.28
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, they're gonna settle I mean they're gonna settle. Ah, that's the key word culpability who has more culpability I believe that the systems there have way more culpability than Google.

35:40.58
J. Aundrea
Yeah, because a simple barricade signage. Yeah, and and to twenty feet below into a river like that's.

35:49.75
Bruce Anthony
It's a collapsed bridge. So.

35:59.17
J. Aundrea
Yeah, the moment the bridge collapsed a barricade should have went up. Um right? Well Marka You know you got to have the money in the budget for infrastructure. It's got to be there. Um.

36:01.42
Bruce Anthony
And what how did why is it take you nine years to fix a bridge. It's North Carolina

36:19.50
J. Aundrea
And if it's not that it doesn't get done.

36:22.16
Bruce Anthony
For 9 years that's ah the mayor or the local representatives delegates in that area. The the representatives for the the house the state the state senators the federal senators. They all failed somebody.

36:37.50
J. Aundrea
Mm.

36:39.16
Bruce Anthony
For 9 years somebody should have got. It's a collapsed bridge. It's not a. It's not a bunch of potholes on a road. It's a collapsed bridge in DCAhDC there was an explosion last year or the year before on two ninety five

36:41.90
J. Aundrea
Yeah, right.

36:55.72
J. Aundrea
Okay.

36:58.12
Bruce Anthony
It was a huge explosion where a bridge basically collapsed the bridge of Philadelphia collapsed. They almost got that's almost done that's almost done like I don't yeah yeah, what is is.

37:01.97
J. Aundrea
Um, yes, yeah, but but that's a stretch of 95 that's gonna get done.

37:14.20
Bruce Anthony
Ah, still state though right? That's not federal. Yeah, oh.

37:17.57
J. Aundrea
Um I Believe the state is handling it but don't quote me on that. Um, but that's that's still that's a major highway. Um, if this wasn't if this isn't a major route that people take which clearly they don't. Because most of the residents there know the bridge is out. It can be pronounced. Either way some people say route some people say root I happen to say root.

37:33.20
Bruce Anthony
Is a route or route.

37:39.15
Bruce Anthony
Okay, because I pronounce it route. Okay, yeah, I'm just a route person but you know yeah you know when in football when they say go run that route.

37:51.52
J. Aundrea
You're a route person is that wrong with that.

37:56.53
Bruce Anthony
Don't say go run that route so that's how I learned it and go go run that route. We're gonna go run that outout. That's probably the reason why they said it outout because it rhys no coaches always run rhyme stuff I don't want to take away from Philip Paxon by making jokes about something that doesn't have to do with Philip Paxon once again we apologize.

38:03.81
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

38:11.42
J. Aundrea
Right.

38:15.24
Bruce Anthony
Ah, to the families and those cadolences out there I'm was not making I guess I kind of was making a little light of it because it me Yes, ok then that's it. That's a very polite.

38:24.95
J. Aundrea
It's definitely interesting. Yeah yeah.

38:31.45
Bruce Anthony
Way to say it. This was a very when I've read this I was like um, that's interesting. Um, so ladies and gentlemen and if we can learn anything from philip pax the Gps even though it's a global positioning system. It's it's a guidance system.

38:34.46
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

38:47.80
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

38:49.87
Bruce Anthony
So keep your head on a swivel and don't just follow the guide if the guy is telling you that there's no road there and there's a river like Michael Scott and Dwight don't drive him to the river yeah, don't drive him to the river but once again send the catilsis is out to the paxon family I don't know how to.

39:08.28
J. Aundrea
I don't know because you're late because your last Segway was not great so ladies and gentlemen will be back.

39:08.87
Bruce Anthony
How else to end this. This is pretty odd look there. We go.

39:27.11
Bruce Anthony
RJ you send me this article and basically it's telling us that millennials basically people from 35 to fifty. We are millennials um, are while and out. But maybe you could give the people a little bit more details and just my.

39:28.69
J. Aundrea
M.

39:43.96
Bruce Anthony
Great descriptor of wild and out not Nick Canon show

39:49.34
J. Aundrea
But so the article came out last month in The New York Times um and it's basically about a recent ah and Nih funded study. Um, that looked at.

40:04.46
J. Aundrea
Not just marijuana use they looked at vaping use of hallucinogens and alcohol use. Ah ah, among different population segments of the population. They do that it from a public health standpoint. So basically in the New York Times it said ah binge drinking among adults. Age 35 to 50 occurred at record prevalence in 2022 the new study found that nearly thirty percent of people in this age group reported binge drinking in 2022 continuing a consistent upward trend in the behavior.

40:41.10
Bruce Anthony
If.

40:42.30
J. Aundrea
And 2012 23% of adults reported binge drinking use of marijuana in this group has also reached historic levels with 28% reporting this behavior up from 13% and 2012 and twenty two four percent of adults in this group reported using. Ah, hallucinogen double the figure of just the prior year of 2021? Um, the survey also looked at behavior among adults from nineteen age nineteen to 30 so then you're covering kind of Gen Z and younger millennials this group used marijuana. In 2022 ah, their use of marijuana in 2022 was significantly greater at 44% 44% of a don'ts 19 to 30 using marijuana up from 28% and 2012 um, but their self-reported binge drinking had fallen to 30.5 which was down from a decade earlier and that's because they're smoking. They're ah they're they're smoking more. So um.

41:46.78
Bruce Anthony
Are you.

41:53.37
J. Aundrea
You know 35 to fifty those those older millennials that's a little bit of gen x too in there. You know that? yeah I don't I think most ah I think millennials are in their late 20 s to early 40 s ah.

41:57.24
Bruce Anthony
Is it.

42:07.36
Bruce Anthony
Okay, yeah, yeah, we've had this conversation because I'm like on that borderline between Gen X and millennial.

42:15.51
J. Aundrea
Yeah, a lot of the when I was looking it up a lot of them had millennials as the as 1981 to 1996 I would include 1980 I might even go to 1979 ah but

42:22.72
Bruce Anthony
A.

42:32.72
J. Aundrea
You basically 80 s and 90 s babies 80 s and 90 s babies. Ah if you remember life before the internet but also the internet then that's pretty much right.

42:33.20
Bruce Anthony
80 s and 90 s babies year.

42:42.80
Bruce Anthony
If you remember blockbuster but also remember kaa and lime wire you Miller and that well nasster was the original but when you got to Kaa and lime wire like.

42:48.70
J. Aundrea
Yes, in Napster. Yeah.

42:59.40
Bruce Anthony
Like because naps all that stuff was still around when blockbuster was still around. Ah if you remember Netflix when the movies were mailed to you.

43:01.20
J. Aundrea
Right.

43:06.62
J. Aundrea
Right? When you got that Dvd in the mail if if you remember Dvds if you remember having a wine at VHs before you returned it? yeah.

43:09.80
Bruce Anthony
You got to be if you remember DDD that you go returned it.

43:24.15

Bruce Anthony
Right? from? ah that brick. Yes, oh.

43:42.44
J. Aundrea
You qualify you qualify.

43:42.70
Bruce Anthony
I Want to talk about this more but I want to talk about the stuff from eighty s and nights you never had a pager did you I had a pager. Yeah I had a page on it.

43:48.49
J. Aundrea
I did not have a pager. No yes I do remember that I remember you having a pager. Ah no I my first kind of device I had the that first nokia that blue is like ah it was like a little brick and.

44:01.38
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, it was a little brick. It was blue and I was talking to somebody about it I was literally talking to somebody earlier this week about them those Nokia foams because they had the little holster and this little ah there clip to your belt but you could spin it.

44:04.71
J. Aundrea
Here.

44:12.54
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, yes, right.

44:18.33
Bruce Anthony
Oh you can tell me nothing when you could just spin it. You could just be out there on the streets just talking to people just spinning your phone somebody call you like hello and this was before texting I don't think you could text on that now. Could you text on that phone.

44:32.84
J. Aundrea
Um, ah I don't remember.

44:38.40
Bruce Anthony
I remember the first phone and the first phone I really remember texting on Verizon came out with a flip phone and it was the first like color screen because that Nokia was then Nokia looked like a ti ah t I eighty one calculator.

44:44.73
J. Aundrea
Yeah. Right? correct.

44:52.91
Bruce Anthony
That's the only thing you could type on there was boobs and boob lists. That's all you type on there but me.

44:56.49
J. Aundrea
Yes I think my first I had a palm a palm pretty and that was my first like color screen and had a camera on it and you could not tell me nothing about that palm. And then I think I got a blackberry after that. Yeah, if you had a blackberry you or somebody yeah qerty qerty keyboard. Yes.

45:16.55
Bruce Anthony
Oldum blackbears was it who but because that was the first keyboard that was a first like real keyboard yes, and you like you know man let me hit that and you had your email coming to your phone too. Also, that's when.

45:29.21
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

45:33.68
Bruce Anthony
Um, people stopped leaving work at work nowadays if you think about it back in the day back in those days in the 90 s maybe even the early 2000 before smartphones really took off when you went on vacation. You went on vacation work couldn't contact you.

45:38.94
J. Aundrea
Um.

45:48.79
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

45:52.48
Bruce Anthony
But now now employers I Talk to some people who are high rankking executives and and companies and they expect their employees to answer emails or phone calls even on vacation because even if you away to another country that iphone still connects.

46:00.76
J. Aundrea
So yeah.

46:10.58
Bruce Anthony
You could still receive them emails and text messages from work. So in a way it's not even not even Roman charges anymore you could talk to whatever cell phone company that you have like I got verizon if I say if I contact them and say hey I'm going to.

46:11.10
J. Aundrea
Um, yep, get that you got the Roman charges but you you can do it.

46:27.89
Bruce Anthony
You for the next couple of weeks I need to adjust my plan so there's no, there Ai nt no Roman charges no more them days is us being on the cruise and having to turn the phone off so we ain't get them roman charges is over that is over.

46:31.79
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, that's sure.

46:37.47
J. Aundrea
Yeah, that's over, but that's also another millennial thing. Also you know waiting to talk on the phone till after nine o'clock that's that's a very that's a millennial thing y'all don't know boy he'all really don't know we have been and this is why we drink.

46:47.36
Bruce Anthony
Oh pink they don't add.

46:55.97
J. Aundrea
And this is why we drink and this is why we get high and this is my this is my rant first. First of all, who's surprised by this story. No one certainly not me as a millennial I'm not because I say this all the time millennials are traumatized. We've been through it. Okay.

46:58.33
Bruce Anthony
Okay, here we go.

47:04.25
Bruce Anthony
What if.

Delayed milestones and we don't buy in in in the sense that we're not buying houses. We're not getting married. We're not having kids or we're we're doing it but we're doing it later because we can't afford to do it now. We have 300% more student debt than our parents.

50:10.28
Bruce Anthony

Bruce Anthony
Hoof.

50:43.71
Bruce Anthony

50:58.18
J. Aundrea
I Do know who's responsible boomers but there are like given ah given us the shaft and and the way that people characterize us as lazy as avocado toast eating gig economy like.

50:58.85
Bruce Anthony
Are.

51:17.47
J. Aundrea
Exploiting wastes of space who won't grow up is so infuriating to me. We are overworked underpaid. We're depressed. We're anxious, we're burnt out as so excuse me.

51:30.17
Bruce Anthony
A.

51:36.48
J. Aundrea
If I want to have a bottle of wine and a joint.

51:41.94
Bruce Anthony
Um, to get through the day.

51:42.15
J. Aundrea
If I want to if I want to have ok, some sort of sparkling vodka drinking a can that comes in a pack of 6 and an edible. To get through my life because my antidepressants aren't cutting it anymore to hell with you leave me alone and fix the damn economy because it's not working for us anymore and also you told us.

52:15.10
Bruce Anthony
Um.

52:20.56
J. Aundrea
Gonna be the future I'm going back to this because I saw really it It was the state You jinx us. You told us we we were supposed to be the future but you won't step aside and let us leave I got questions.

52:37.59
Bruce Anthony
Um, now is that a direct shot at people not retiring on their retire age politicians not getting the hell out the way. Making way for the young folks.

52:49.45
J. Aundrea
It's a direct shot at Boomers and everybody knows that there's been a war between boomers and millennials since we've come of age but we are carrying around the. The baggage of the people that are come that have come before us and we are suffering From. It's not like other generations aren't suffering from these same ah events. It's not like other people aren't having issues because of the recession. Or because of inflation or ah student debt and things like that. But statistically the research is showing that it has most significantly impacted millennials particularly millennials of color.

53:38.60
Bruce Anthony
Well, that's because this is when we were coming of coming of age as adults this all happened when we were supposed to be making those steps to get the good job to buy the house to find our partner to get married to have the key kids to have all that security.

53:42.68
J. Aundrea
Yes.

53:57.93
Bruce Anthony
I'm sorry but when the boomers tug about we bought a house your house was $100000 that same house right now is seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars well no well depending on when they bought it right? because like you know our parents got money later.

54:03.34
J. Aundrea
Their house. Their house was fifty sixty thousand dollars right

54:16.92
Bruce Anthony
So the first house they bought because in the in that area that they bought it. It was relatively cheap, but the second house they bought cost a little bit more money so things progressed up but but let's just say when when mom and dad built that house.

54:24.66
J. Aundrea
M.

54:34.35
Bruce Anthony
In 2001 what they paid for I couldn't get that house right now for that price if I could I would if I could I would buy that house at that price because I could afford it but I can't afford whatever it's going for now and nobody.

54:38.33
J. Aundrea
Now.

54:45.96
J. Aundrea
No no most most most of us can't afford the rent because the wages have stagnated but the cost of housing has ballooned exponentially.

55:00.27
Bruce Anthony
Not only that but child care I'm talking to some friends of mine that they they have kids that are toddlers that ah their child care and somebody was like yeah we pay like about four seventy five a week I was like wait a minute hold up. that's that's almost $ 1800 a month like yeah around that I was like that's a mortgage and a rent plant rent payment I mean not quite It's not quite there because rent is too damn high but I was like I was like oh ok like.

55:20.42
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, the rent is too damn high.

55:30.40
Bruce Anthony
So like 1 person takes care of the mortgage or the rent. The other person takes care of child care. Where's the rest of this money coming from like right here.

55:36.49
J. Aundrea
Where is it coming From. We are all we're all scratching and surviving and and I don't say all this to say that we're looking for some sort of Sympathy. We've never asked for you. We've never asked for anybody's Sympathy. What we're asking for is a shot what we're asking for is the same chance to get to middle class status or attain this even though it's a joke the American dream that that the people before us had.

55:54.83
Bruce Anthony
Right.

56:13.55
J. Aundrea
We didn't get that same shot and it and it would be 1 thing if we didn't get that shot and y'all recognize that we didn't get it and you had the appropriate empathy but they don't and then you want to come out these articles like this is news. This is not news.

56:26.90
Bruce Anthony
Um.

56:33.16
J. Aundrea
Is not news. We we are We are feeling insecure economically in our careers. We ah we are dealing we are dealing with trauma both generational ancestral.

56:39.94
Bruce Anthony
Um, and.

56:49.80
Bruce Anthony
But.

56:52.25
J. Aundrea
If you black, you got post slave syndrome. We are dealing with it. We're trying to break generational curses and we're trying to Heal. We're trying to go to therapy but damn that I listen. I Need to unwind at the end of the damn day.

57:15.32
Bruce Anthony
Um.

57:18.11
J. Aundrea
Okay I need to unwind at the end of the damn day because um, we're working the same 40 hour work weeks. A lot of us working more than that because we again we got to we got to livehood.

57:29.26
Bruce Anthony
Who who yeah who works 40 hours like I don't know nobody works 40 hours

57:35.24
J. Aundrea
Nobody right? Nobody we working much more than that you got your full time job and you got your side hustle and then you got your passive income.

57:42.14
Bruce Anthony
If you don't have a side hustle or if you only if you only live in off and there are people out here getting money. There's people in their salaries they get money but also.

57:52.81
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah, shout out to the millennials as out here getting money. Um.

57:57.34
Bruce Anthony
But also I know a lot of millennials that are getting money. What would be demed as as getting money like I live in Washington d c well outside of Washington d c but washington d c I'm watching I'm five miles from Washington d c it is really really expensive to live here.

58:02.48
J. Aundrea
M.

58:11.20
J. Aundrea
Um, yes.

58:16.13
Bruce Anthony
If you actually live in the city limits and you find a decent place to live. It's probably just been built. You can get yourself maybe a 550 or six hundred square foot 1 bedroom apartment that's gonna cost you 27 28 twenty nine

58:33.95
J. Aundrea
M.

58:34.75
Bruce Anthony
Hundred dollars a month. Don't don't go for a 2 bedroom that's gonna get you close to 4 grand.

58:39.66
J. Aundrea
You better have 3 other people living there 2 to a room.

58:43.31
Bruce Anthony
And it took bad room. We going back to the dorm rooms of college. It's expensive out here and I didn't I remember when eggs remembering when eggs was like a year ago or six months ago was like.

58:51.10
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

59:00.29
J. Aundrea
Yes, yes.

59:00.83
Bruce Anthony
$17000 a carton they finally got back to regular prices. But yeah and you know inflation is is is out there. it's it's it's it's a real thing things are more expensive and and the cost of living has gone up and wages have not gone up, especially not minimum weight. You cannot.

59:07.60
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

59:18.62
Bruce Anthony
There was a time where you could make minimum wage and be and and be able to live. You cannot make minimum wage right now and live nowhere.

59:24.34
J. Aundrea
Um, no, and you know when that time was when they first instituted the minimum wage. That's the time when you can make the minimum wage.

59:33.40
Bruce Anthony
Um, yep.

59:39.41
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, but I mean yeah, who.

59:39.52
J. Aundrea
When they first instituted it? Yeah but and it's it's not just our current predicament. You know we're forward thinking also so we're thinking about the future and ah you know studies are showing that returns on 4 or one k's are expected to fall by half for our generation.

59:57.14
Bruce Anthony
If.

59:59.48
J. Aundrea
That we're likely not going to be able to retire until we're 75 and will social security be around. We don't damn know so we're stressed we're stressed out and you know what helps with stress.

01:00:05.89
Bruce Anthony
A.

01:00:15.70
Bruce Anthony
Wheat alcohol some hallucinogens and also arguing with yourself in the shower at night before you go to bed.

01:00:18.54
J. Aundrea
Weed a nice chardonnay at the end of the day and a little bit of Micro dosin. Are you know with yourself in the shower and you know what I feel like people felt us on that you got to get them frustrations out and you don't want to and you don't want to be a burden to others. So just.

01:00:36.46
Bruce Anthony
Got to get him out. No, you should You shouldn't want to be some people don't mind being a burden to others I never understood that but some people like let me tell you about what's going on with me Well cool I don't mind listening.

01:00:47.35
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

01:00:54.76
Bruce Anthony
But if you got some negative energy about you then then go over there. Don't bring it over here I will help you do whatever problem but I don't want to keep hearing about the same problem day after day after day. Don't don't do that to me.

01:00:57.73
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah.

01:01:05.69
J. Aundrea
Yeah, and and that's why I always push for people to get involved in politics specifically us because so many of the decisions that are being Made. We're going to have to. Reckon with the consequences of it. Our generation is what's going to have to reckon with the consequences of a lot of these decisions that are being made not just economically but socially and if you're not participating or or ah at least.

01:01:41.95
J. Aundrea
Become being more informed if you ain't whoa, but.

01:01:44.90
Bruce Anthony
There you go right? there.

01:01:47.84
J. Aundrea
But but if you're not keeping yourself informed about what's going on. Boy's gonna come back to bite you and ass it already is it already is we're already like I went through the whole list. We're already reckoning with the decisions of of other people of generations before us and then you got.

01:01:55.50
Bruce Anthony
Harl A.

01:02:07.47
J. Aundrea
Boomers calling us lazy Gen Z calling us cringe and Gen X I don't even know where you are I so medicated they don't know what's going on. But.

01:02:17.19
Bruce Anthony
Don't We don't have to worry about it because Gen Z ain't gonna take it Gen Z is not gonna take it. There's a famous line.

01:02:19.82
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah, but but y'all come on. We love Y'all have some respect for your elders though. Let let us live a little bit. Not.

01:02:26.90
Bruce Anthony
No, we we talked about that earlier look just because you older don't mean that you get respect.

01:02:35.48
J. Aundrea
Not that I'm not I'm not you know I'm not talking about Boomers I'm talking about us us you all have to call us you all had to call us you all had to call us cringe just because our tiktoks are a little lame.

01:02:38.24
Bruce Anthony
No there. There's some of us look well come on now we got to recognize let me give you a prime example I've been thinking about it for the last six years and it really boosted up during the pandemic. I was like I want to I think I want to get my ears re pierced right? And the reason why is because when I had my ears pierced I had both of them pierced and I had diamonds in both ears because that was the style back then but you couldn't wear.

01:03:01.84
J. Aundrea
Um.

01:03:06.95
J. Aundrea
That was a style.

01:03:13.27
Bruce Anthony
You couldn't wear a dangling earrings. You couldn't wear like the little thing would it look a little cross and a dangling off here. You could wear hoops right? You could wear hoops but when nobody rocking hoops except for Michael Jordan and he wasn't really a fashion aficionado despite the fact that everybody won the shoes. But now the dangling earring is back.

01:03:15.65
J. Aundrea
Yeah, like like I got on here.

01:03:29.40
J. Aundrea
You're right? Um, if yeah.

01:03:32.41
Bruce Anthony
And I want to have a dangling earring in 1 ear and a stud in another ear. But also when I was hanging out with my bestie in the city this past weekend and we went to a spot. It was a little rooftop bar and it was a younger generation and as I'm struggling to walk up the stairs cause my knees hurt. My body is sore and all that other stuff.

01:03:43.39
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, if yeah.

01:03:50.54
Bruce Anthony
I realized that would probably be a little cringe for me at 43 44 years old to go ahead and have dangling earrings and and diamonds in the air because that's not for my generation I'm literally too old to try and act like I'm in my 20 s.

01:04:08.72
J. Aundrea
I Don't think that That's what you're doing though I think you saw an aesthetic that you liked and you you want to? ah I don't think it is I think it's I think it's a current look I wouldn't I wouldn't mix what's trendy with.

01:04:12.44
Bruce Anthony
But that aesthetic is a young look and I ain't young, no more.

01:04:26.30
J. Aundrea
Youth because that's not necessarily the case.

01:04:27.79
Bruce Anthony
You know, whatever is trendy is brought about from the youth. The black youth. Yes, no black youth and let's not hold on is not just black people.

01:04:35.39
J. Aundrea
Um, whatever Trendy is brought about by black people. No just just no, just black people. Yeah.

01:04:44.76
J. Aundrea
And then also and then also excuse me. We are not old. We're in our 30 s and 40 s we're not oh we are middle aged we are middle aged we are in the middle.

01:04:47.35
Bruce Anthony
Because Latino people we can't we can't not acknowledge our lights. We're middle aged you're middle age. We're in our middle age. So we ain't old but ween young and that's what I'm saying.

01:05:02.75
J. Aundrea
Right.

01:05:05.96
Bruce Anthony
We ain't old and we ain't young.

01:05:06.10
J. Aundrea
But if I see an aesthetic that I like and I wear it it because I wear the dangly earring I wear the one earring you know, like if I wear if I see it and I like it I'm aware it I'm a rocket in a way that works for me. So You just got to rocket in a way that works for you.

01:05:23.85
Bruce Anthony
Oh we don't work for me because I normally care myself. You know one thank thankfully thankfully well at least everybody keeps commenting I don't know if that's the case or not because the only thing I got to compare it to is my family and my family all look good. They all age well but people say I don't look.

01:05:37.67
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

01:05:43.72
Bruce Anthony
My age So cool.

01:05:44.70
J. Aundrea
People also have a weird conceptualization of age especially when you get to middle age because again, this is a term middle age makes it sound like we're ancient. But.

01:05:49.69
Bruce Anthony
Yes, that too. Okay.

01:06:03.42
J. Aundrea
Middle age sounds like I just think Midlife crisis and things like is just like yeah it but truly I don't think that we're old in a way that we can't contribute to the culture.

01:06:05.79
Bruce Anthony
No, this is the top This is a time where if I was going to go through a midlife crisis. This would be it.

01:06:17.20
Bruce Anthony
No, that's only the only reason why we feel like that is because we don't have kids and family parents our age definitely old look I know I know so.

01:06:25.16
J. Aundrea
And yeah I don't think so.

01:06:33.67
Bruce Anthony
Because when I because when I went.

01:06:35.25
J. Aundrea
Ah, all I'm literally probably one of the only ones of my friends that don't have is me and like a handful of us that don't have children but that you know my listen you get a millennial out and they ain't got to worry about their kids.

01:06:50.86
Bruce Anthony
This is true Now you'll see the youth for the night and then the next day they're like what was I doing I don't know why I was doing that I should' have known better. Yeah, that the point out try to break.

01:06:52.82
J. Aundrea
You will see that youth pop up.

01:07:02.87
J. Aundrea
Well yeah I mean that's all of us. We're middle aged. Yeah.

01:07:10.26
Bruce Anthony
But you know what though you know what though as long as I don't go out if I'm at home I could drink a half a bottle and be just fine The next day won't even feel it because I'm at my own pace I'm binge drinking but it's my own pace at home. It's that binge drinking when you go out for some I don't know what it is.

01:07:30.50
J. Aundrea
Well, it's a shorter time span. You do you're doing it in a shorter time span when you're out. Yeah I would dare I would say number 1 Ah I'll stop I I think I stopped pregaming in my early 30 s because I was like it. No.

01:07:30.25
Bruce Anthony
When you go out you probably I should stop pregaming that should probably be where I should start and stop pregaming.

01:07:44.89
Bruce Anthony
We have. But.

01:07:46.85
J. Aundrea
I head it my head at couple of drinks while I'm out and but I think you know actually I'm start pregame it again because ah when you go out and you order a drink and a shot and is you know 50 Eight Ninety nine and you just like the hell.

01:08:02.80
Bruce Anthony
That's the point I was trying to make in DC you can't go out you go in DC soon as you step out the door. You didn't spend a hundred dollars as soon as you step out the door you to spend a hundred dollars word

01:08:08.77
J. Aundrea
Yes, and then Atlanta when they charging you for ice.

Why do they overcharge us to come to the establishment when we're trying to support them.

01:08:59.60
J. Aundrea
I Don't I kind of understand the logic but I kind of don't understand the logic. You know there's that really terrible stereotype that black people don't tip and we don't you know.
