01:47.22

Bruce Anthony
I mean yeah I mean you needed you needed to get that news I mean I knew that yes every year
02:02.92

I didn't know I mean that's ever been recorded. This was the hottest year.
02:08.71
Bruce Anthony
Yes, every year from here on out is going to be the hottest year that ever existed I've been saying that? yes.
02:17.26
J. Aundrea
Ah, it because every year gets increasingly hotter is starting from this year this year's start. But yeah, where is so we're getting close to that global warming benchmark so that I just heard about that. So.
02:28.55
Bruce Anthony
Wait a minute. What's the global warming Benchmark I don't know what that is.
02:35.11
J. Aundrea
Um, so it is if we get um °C or °F above preindustrial norms that is a benchmark for where we could be causing now Irreversible damage. To entire ecosystem. So just °F.
02:55.19
Bruce Anthony
I don't really know what that means Ken King put that in Layman's terms for all the people that that didn't really do well in science.
03:03.49
J. Aundrea
Oh yeah, hey if it gets ° too hotter to um, you know the hotter to hotter entire ecosystems are going to be irreversibly damaged.
03:05.94
Bruce Anthony
2 way too hot.
03:17.49
Bruce Anthony
Well, you know it's funny because we damage ecosystems all the time like in Florida for instance, some geniuses decided to to bring anacondas down there right? and.
03:28.30
J. Aundrea
No god.
03:33.90
Bruce Anthony
You know you get a little annaconda at first a little andocconda you get. Ah you get a little baby andocconda then that thing grows and then you like when am I supposed to do this anaoda so they were releasing them in the everglades what they don't realize is snakes reproduce really fast and now those Anaconas have basically.
03:37.95
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah.
03:41.64
J. Aundrea
Oh my God yeah.
03:50.27
Bruce Anthony
Decimated the evergadedes because they need food so they go out there and they try to find people to hunt the Andnacondas not not the andacon of from the movie andnaconda because that wasn't real. There's no andacon of that's that big. Ah, but but.
03:58.37
J. Aundrea
No, no, no that D snakes that? yeah.
04:06.82
Bruce Anthony
People don't get that so in the movie and the Conda that stars Jennifer Lopez ah back when she was still Jenny from the block and ice cue. He has a scene where all these snakes unleashed on this boat and he said it snakes and for some reason.
04:15.70
J. Aundrea
Yes.
04:25.43
Bruce Anthony
For years that has just tickled me my brother and sister. Yes, it snakes I.
04:29.64
J. Aundrea
Because of the way he just yells off the obvious. Yeah the whole the whole Florida boat is covered in snakes there you go. It's snakes just um, but you know that's not the only.
04:44.52
J. Aundrea
Ah, threat that anacondas pose to the everglaze. Um because you know studies have shown that Anacondas don't want none unless you've got buns. Hu.
04:54.77
Bruce Anthony
Know That's where you would go but freaking new. That's where you would go and.
05:07.52
Bruce Anthony
Ah, oh my goodness if y'all don't understand that reference that is baby. Got back if that served mix a lot. Oh my good? No, but honestly we are just we have been destroying.
05:08.23
J. Aundrea
I. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:21.92
Bruce Anthony
This planet I don't know why you know why? you know why people don't care because it's not like the plan is gonna be destroyed in our lifetime. So we just feel like we could do whatever I'm not gonna say that I've been above it. It was it was ah I bring her up a lot but but I learned so much from her. It was my ex-wife.
05:30.38
J. Aundrea
Um, right right.
05:41.16
Bruce Anthony
Who's pressed upon recycling and I remember 1 of my old roommates he was throw a party because he always do parties and I remember um I brought my ex over and my ex was in ah the kitchen arguing with this duke as being combative as she was.
05:41.50
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah.
05:49.46
J. Aundrea
Mm.
05:57.62
J. Aundrea
M.
05:59.98
Bruce Anthony
And um I walk in and my old roommate was like you know they're getting into it about recycling and I was like recycling is cool baby recycling is cool because I had been conditioned to recycle but she was right right? and I still recycle to this day. Ah, but I know people out there to just the trash be the trash.
06:07.28
J. Aundrea
Um, dog. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, right, be right.
06:19.40
Bruce Anthony
And I'm like no you go separate that try to save the planet at all. Um, but then you know do your part a little bit. Ah but you know you know we're being destructing this this planet. It's not going to last forever. It's a living organism.
06:24.90
J. Aundrea
Do your part a little bit. Yeah.
06:34.88
J. Aundrea
Yeah I mean the the problem is in order to reverse this or have any hope we have to give up ah fossil fuels. We're not gonna do that So that's nope yeah I'm already.
06:45.12
Bruce Anthony
Or Superman can fly around ah the earth and reverse a reverse earth's overal spend and take us back in time I mean he saved Lois Lane
06:53.14
J. Aundrea
That was literally the dumbest thing that was almost no the cellophane s was the worst but.
07:04.25
Bruce Anthony
All right look this is not gonna be a situation where we dog out Superman I'm not gonna have that conversation. Ah look if anybody can get reverse time by flying around earthv so fast that it reverses its its.
07:06.37
J. Aundrea
Those were 2 dumb things the as not how time works the earth.
07:19.31
Bruce Anthony
Spent the Earth spend to take back time I don't look. Maybe maybe maybe.
07:25.48
J. Aundrea
Going backwards is not going to reverse time. No the earth is 1 planet in a solar system in a galaxy in a universe like it's reversing the the spin of one planet isn't going to turn back time in all of the universe that is the stupidest.
07:36.60
Bruce Anthony
This is.
07:44.69
Bruce Anthony
And I would love to have Neil Degrasse Tyson on once again, that invitation stays out there Neil if you want to come on please I would love to hear the rationale if earth's orbit did reverse how would that affect everything around it because there's gravitational pulls.
07:44.78
J. Aundrea
But of all time.
07:51.91
J. Aundrea
It's a permanent invitation.
08:01.43
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yes.
08:03.54
Bruce Anthony
From everything. There's a gravitational pull from the sun from the other planets from the moon like how if you reverse it what happens that would be an interesting question I'm sure he's probably answered that somewhere I'm sure somebody has asked that question.
08:13.56
J. Aundrea
Well the the theory that that the center of the Earth is like a molten core a lot of what keeps life life in is his is the spin of the earth. So.
08:24.96
Bruce Anthony
Life life be life and.
08:33.53
J. Aundrea
And as could that like magnetic field that it creates in the center of the Earth So reversing it I assume will have some effect not time travel.
08:43.49
Bruce Anthony
I'm pretty sure it would have an effect Liz Superman alone speaking of Superman Christopher re watch watch my tangent watch my segway here Superman Christopher re acting.
08:51.31
J. Aundrea
Um, yes, okay.
08:59.64
Bruce Anthony
Sag and after negotiations are kind of complete. Ah they have a tentative agreement what that was announced ending the longest actors strike in hollywood the agreement includes historic Ai protections a 7% pay increase.
09:02.52
J. Aundrea
Yeah I did I did read that. So yeah, finally.
09:18.10
Bruce Anthony
A streaming participation bonus enhancements and pensions and health contribut contributions not contributed contributions the total contract value exceeds one billion one billion over three years and unanimously approved by a negotiating committee. So yeah, you know they they.
09:24.10
J. Aundrea
M.
09:35.36
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
09:35.83
Bruce Anthony
Got the and they should because you know the stream of services is great for us right? You know Hbo Max put all these shows, especially the black shows like Wayne's brothers and Bernie Mac and Martin and fresh prince. They put all these shows on there and that's great, but.
09:42.68
J. Aundrea
Yeah, so.
09:49.82
J. Aundrea
And.
09:53.52
Bruce Anthony
Used to be reruns on regular tv that those actors would get residuals from and they're not getting residuals from what we're streaming on Tv now.
09:56.31
J. Aundrea
Right? That was that I was gonna bring that up like I feel like the Ai thing has gotten a lot of attention. But I think the most important piece of that was getting the residuals from streaming.
10:14.53
Bruce Anthony
Well I mean Ai thing is also important but I know um, we're saying this and there are people out there who really don't give a damn about workers. This is what I mean by that anytime there's any type of labor dispute but in in any situation union labor.
10:16.29
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
10:26.19
J. Aundrea
Oh.
10:30.10
Bruce Anthony
People out there for some reason when it's not affecting them constantly go for the companies as opposed to the labor because they're like because especially with actors or athletes or things in that nature. They're like you know what they get paid so much money anyway.
10:39.24
J. Aundrea
Mm.
10:46.44
Bruce Anthony
The reason why they get paid so much money is because they can do something you can't do and you're salty that you can't do it and make that type of money. That's all it is these people deserve the money that they get because they have a talent whether they're an actor whether they're an athlete whether they're a UPS driver right? ah.
10:50.28
J. Aundrea
Right.
11:02.81
J. Aundrea
6
11:06.20
Bruce Anthony
I mean a UPS driver I don't know if that's talent but it's hard work like it ain't easy work. Have you seen talking about the hottest year of all the years they out there delivering and and some timbalands and some shorts and a short set and a high to hell and they out there some timullands in the short set.
11:07.61
J. Aundrea
Is hard work. No yeah, yes, yes. What a little fan in their van and stuff like that like as I think some of them are now like the newer ones. But if you still see him in that old box truck is a little fan in there.
11:25.64
Bruce Anthony
Because the fans because the vans are not really air conditioned I seen them. Okay.
11:39.23
Bruce Anthony
And let you try and drop off ah a package sometimes people shoot at you for coming to their house so you know you got to be careful I hear and it's the Brand brown short set give me a short set.
11:42.71
J. Aundrea
Yes, yes, even though you end the brown short set like.
11:53.29
Bruce Anthony
Yeah I got on sneaks but I need a new pair if y'all don't understand that if y'all never heard summertime I don't know what to tell you that was will smith. That's a will Smith song but before the entanglement. Yeah I said I said before the entanglement though.
11:58.39
J. Aundrea
I don't know. Yeah, it's literally the song of the summer forever forever yeah no no it the entanglement be damned. It is the song of the summer to me it's not summertime if I don't hear summertime.
12:15.42
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, right? That's the first that and I remember the lost boys had ah a summertime song too for a little while that was hot in the streets summertime in the city people that don't know the lost boys I think they're from Queens I think they're rappers from queens.
12:29.30
J. Aundrea
Yes, to all my ladies and my men's keep your bread up. Yeah yeah.
12:31.47
Bruce Anthony
Um, they did Lex Coops Beam is in the bins. Yeah yeah, yeah, ah, but no the actors getting yeah right, right? right? No, but it's cool with the actors getting their money and I hope they can continue on to entertain us as long as the earth is still here because we're killing it slowly but surely.
12:47.82
J. Aundrea
And also you know they make this much money in entertainment because of consumers like we're.
12:55.98
Bruce Anthony
Exactly.
12:59.11
J. Aundrea
Paying for the tickets and the merchandise and all of the things so that they have the resources to allocate to these and so you don't don't be mad if you if you may be mad that they make more than teachers and we go have to pay more in taxes got to pay the thing that that generates.
13:11.33
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, well yeah, ah we do need to pay the teachers more? Um, well yeah, the the money is there. We be.
13:15.91
J. Aundrea
The income is the money the money from the people. Yeah um, but the money has to be there. The the money is it is it can't come from out of nowhere.
13:29.35
Bruce Anthony
Again? Well but the way the government does its budget. Meanwhile we are deadly deadly close closing in to November seventeenth where there's a potential another shutdown speaking at a budget. We'll get into politics and the second and third block.
13:43.46
J. Aundrea
Muhu.
13:47.61
Bruce Anthony
I Don't really want to talk about it now I want to keep with the daily datling and the jokes one joke I gotta have you know people that listened to my the show I do by myself. You know I've consistently talked about my neighbor who's annoying the hell out of me, you know this person as the person that wrote the letters.
13:52.40
J. Aundrea
Um.
14:00.70
J. Aundrea
And I thought that that was done. That's not done. Okay, okay.
14:04.89
Bruce Anthony
People that listen to the show and too the well the lettuce is done but her being annoying is not done now I told everybody on the last episode that that she has a dog which you know hey look I Love dogs I'm happy for to have a dog and.
14:19.20
J. Aundrea
Love them? yes.
14:23.91
Bruce Anthony
As I said on a Tuesday show I'm not bitter solely because I lost my dog this has nothing to do with it but she is playing with the dog in the hallway with the squeaky toy. So if I'm filming this show I've got to close.
14:35.32
J. Aundrea
Move.
14:41.16
Bruce Anthony
Every single door and super sound proof this room so that sound doesn't come in and if I'm just in my living room chilling you know doing what I do chilling I got to hear her playing in the hallway which is completely inconsiderate to all our neighbors and she ain't quiet. This is not a soft tone.
14:43.56
J. Aundrea
Yeah, sure. Yeah. Yeah.
14:59.75
Bruce Anthony
It is allowed annoying tone and she annoys me to the to my bitter end like I kind of want to I kind of want to report her to the authorities. But I don't think the authorities could do anything.
15:02.22
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
15:08.42
J. Aundrea
No, they get well so she's playing in the hallway with the dog that's rude. Yeah I mean that I think you can do something about.
15:14.51
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, yes, that's what that's the point of trial say. Yes, it is I can but I ain't no snitch what I probably am gonna do is just go I don't want to I don't.
15:27.10
J. Aundrea
Remember we taught I feel like we talked about this I feel like we talked about what snitching is and what snitching is not yeah no because no tattletailing is when you tell on somebody.
15:32.67
Bruce Anthony
See its ta. Okay, that's definitely tat telling no that's tat telling.
15:46.43
J. Aundrea
And whether or not that other person knows what that person did has literally no effect on you it. You're telling something that don't have nothing to do with you that is tattle telling. Ah I saw him I.
15:54.89
Bruce Anthony
I Don't think that's cataoling.
16:02.70
Bruce Anthony
Or girl right? all right? So I wish.
16:02.72
J. Aundrea
In his backpack that don't have nothing to do with you. You're just tattling on him. That's what tatddletail it is if it's got something to do if I'm being affected by your behavior somebody gonna hear about it.
16:20.82
Bruce Anthony
I I I don't want to Confront this person personally because I don't want to have any more dialogue with this person I don't know what's gonna happen I had some dialogue with this person next I know I got another letter underneath my door and I don't want that I don't want that you know what I'm gonna start doing this what I'm gonna start doing I'm gonna start being annoyed.
16:27.85
J. Aundrea
Bret. Yeah, right right.
16:38.98
Bruce Anthony
Um, start parading around a lot of women drinking and playing a lot of my hood hood rap music glower. No, that's not my daily life because I got called a sip. Yeah.
16:39.10
J. Aundrea
Okay. That sounds like your daily life I'm trying here's the thing here's thing is so much effort to do that when literally what you could easily do anonymously.
16:58.55
Bruce Anthony
A.
17:03.68
J. Aundrea
Is tell your Lisson office to tell her to stop playing with the dog in the hallway.
17:05.37
Bruce Anthony
I don't think that would be anonymous I think that she would know that it's somebody within it's I live in a corner section of the building. So it's it's me her and in 2 other places that are on this hallway. It's only 4 places that's in this hallway because you know I got one of the.

17:30.62
J. Aundrea
Okay, all right? but there still you don't know who specifically.
17:41.23
Bruce Anthony
I Know which neighbors would be accused and I don't want to put that on them because they look like they' somebody that would go and complain I'm not gonna tell you where the demographics is but I they just look like somebody's doing complain. No what I'm go do I I Ah i' a talk to the husband I'm but like hey hey play boy.

Bruce Anthony
Oh okay and you did you go? Yeah you yeah you yeah look that's strictly an ego thing that comes in our family. We are never going to be confused or accused.
18:46.96
J. Aundrea
But elections were hey yeah.
19:01.11
Bruce Anthony
Ah, being dumb or ignorant of something that was something that literally happened either last week or two weeks ago it was a brief moment but you felt it compelled compelled to to say like a look I know what was going on I'm just saying.
19:02.40
J. Aundrea
It's right? No yeah.
19:08.48
J. Aundrea

19:19.94
Bruce Anthony
Okay.
19:25.15
Bruce Anthony
But all right half right and half wrong. But you know nevertheless.
19:27.10
J. Aundrea
I was half right.
19:32.77
J. Aundrea
Yeah, you could just put an asterisk next to half right? You don't have to actually in the footnote. It could say half wrong? yeah.
19:39.80
Bruce Anthony
All little side detour for all the of all the listening and watching an audience. This is the difference between me and my sister I have no problem never have of admitting when I'm wrong my sister on the other hand who.
19:46.60
J. Aundrea
You.
19:54.55
J. Aundrea
I Don't have a problem admitting when I'm wrong the better question as well as the last time I've been wrong and and it was a comment I made on a show or two ago.
19:58.37
Bruce Anthony
When was the last time you admittedted when you that she was wrong. Okay.
20:12.55
J. Aundrea
About the presidential election coming up.
20:15.77
Bruce Anthony
Okay, so you admit that you was wrong are never you know what? I've dealt with this compensation I would I would talk about that I I was damn you just you just stole my whole intro I hadn't even gotten to the part where I was going to introduce Miss anyway, ladies and gentlemen out there. It was a bunch of elections across the.
20:19.18
J. Aundrea
Um, I admit that I was half wrong. Let's talk about Mississippi.
20:35.29
Bruce Anthony
United States of America and several different states that happened this past Tuesday all of them were interesting for different reasons. 1 of the main reasons why the Mississippi Governor what's the call. It's not the governor race is a glubernatorial. Yeah, you know I've have trouble whereas sometimes.
20:36.28
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah.
20:50.85
J. Aundrea
Gubernatorial. Yes, no gubernatorial is is a difficult word. That's yeah, yeah.
20:54.24
Bruce Anthony
The global tutorial race. Yeah, that is a difficult word and that's the only time I'm gonna say it I'm done from here on out I'm calling it the governor's race. The governor's races in Mississippi now republican runno gets a democrat in ah in a really red state republican winning. That's not really a surprise here's what is a surprise it was significant.
21:09.54
J. Aundrea
Right? yes.
21:14.70
Bruce Anthony
Ballot shortages occur notably in the state's largest county during a crucial Governor's race now when I say largest county typically when States have large counties or large cities those cities tend to be diverse.
21:28.50
J. Aundrea
Correct.
21:32.14
Bruce Anthony
Which means they tend to lean blue now not lane. They go blue I can't think of too many large cities across the United States of America that go red I'm talking about large metropolitan cities or large counties.
21:48.71
J. Aundrea
So.
21:51.27
Bruce Anthony
Where there's a dense number of people typically in this country where there's a diss number ah a dense number of people. They're diverse. It typically goes blue so there were ballot shortages in the largest county in this state. Okay, exact numbers of effective voters remain unclear. Causing concern among activists due to historical voting rights struggle struggles among black americans we talk about Mississippi Mississippi
22:12.94
J. Aundrea
Yeah, so the surprise level is about a 2
22:23.93
Bruce Anthony
Right? Ah, now there was 1 voter his name was Otis Otis Wells Otis Wells reported waiting nearly an hour due to ballot shortages with only 40 to 45 ballots arriving
22:29.98
J. Aundrea
Otis.
22:39.55
Bruce Anthony
With 75 people still waiting to vote Hines County Elections commissioners commissioners officers didn't comment on any on any of the news organizations reporting on this um funding was dismissed as a cause of the ballot shortage. So it wasn't because of funding.
22:55.68
J. Aundrea
Right.
22:57.77
Bruce Anthony
Right? It wasn't because the county didn't have enough money for ballots. There were 2 lawsuits that were filed to extend voting hours and responses to shortages. Um, but they didn't give extensions. So let me explain this to you people have come to vote they don't have the ballots for people to vote.
23:08.54
J. Aundrea
Yes, right.
23:17.42
Bruce Anthony
Have to go get more ballots that takes time when they get more ballots. They don't come in enough Ballots still for the people to vote so people are waiting there for hours trying to vote in the meantime they're not going to extend voting hours and this wasn't the only obstacle in voting ah in it. Other obstacles included online voting registration absence complex mailing voting requirements and adequate outreach to black voters potentially impacting the entire outcome of this elections. Um, Also the Governor The governor.
23:44.45
J. Aundrea
Oh.
23:55.90
Bruce Anthony
Was an incumbent also shrouded in controversy because this is the same governor who was taking money from the poor literally taking money from the that was supposed to go to the poor people in Mississippi and Mississippi and given it to Brett Farve
23:56.20
J. Aundrea
N.
24:11.93
J. Aundrea
Okay, okay.
24:15.84
Bruce Anthony
So that he could go build a volleyball court and football field for his alma mater that his daughter happened to be playing on a volleyball team right? took money from the poor this is this is this is the state of Mississippi so not only are they disenfranchised in votes. It also is a so so.
24:21.48
J. Aundrea
M.
24:34.95
Bruce Anthony
Supposedly crooked governor that they reelected and this is this is your this is your politics in the south ladies and gentlemen well not just in the south but but really highlighted southern politics here. What you think about all this Jay.
24:37.32
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah.
24:48.40
J. Aundrea
Yeah I mean if anybody knows anything about difficulty with voting. It would be me a Georgia voter where.
24:55.38
Bruce Anthony
You you write you write and for y'all out there. That's gonna critique my sister. My sister actually is involved in the voting process as as what were you out there doing.
25:08.68
J. Aundrea
Um, oh I was a um, not a pollster Well ah wonder not wasn't no damn hall monitor I was a poll watcher.
25:11.40
Bruce Anthony
Hall monitor.
25:22.70
Bruce Anthony
Po wash there. We go you? Yeah do I had it. Rights don't tell me I didn't have it right when I had it right.
25:25.79
J. Aundrea
Which is essentially a hall monitor. Yeah.
25:32.32
J. Aundrea
Ah, yeah, but there are especially in a lot of majority black and of course Hines County is majority black. Um I think they said what 40% of Mississippi's population is black. Yeah, so.
25:46.30
Bruce Anthony
That sounds about right.
25:50.86
J. Aundrea
Um, we see this all the time in in in Georgia um, especially in Atlanta where we have machines. Not enough machines machines breaking down. They're closing polling places um things like this is. This is old school tactics old school I'm waiting honestly for ah what is it the the test the ah the literacy tests honestly I'm waiting for that to come back? Um, but these poll tax. Also yes I mean but these are the things that.
26:15.71
Bruce Anthony
The literacy tests. Yeah, ah or a poll tax.
26:27.77
J. Aundrea
We are going to continue to have to face because of a conservative supreme court. Um, that strikes down protections for voting rights. We also got a house that.
26:35.34
Bruce Anthony
Well.
26:45.26
J. Aundrea
Struck down protections for voting rights. Um, and so this is the this is the kind of things that but here's the thing that really bugs me about this and this always kind of bug me about this that if you look historically at these kinds of tactics. They don't work. They just. And sense the people more and give them more ah drive and determination to stand there in that line and exercise the right that you're so clearly and blatantly trying to keep them from So The fact that.
27:04.10
Bruce Anthony
H.
27:10.57
Bruce Anthony
E.O.
27:20.93
J. Aundrea
Even though they use these tactics like say for instance in Georgia it it just it has not affected turnout. Um.
27:26.20
Bruce Anthony
No it. But it does affect if you don't have enough ballots. That's the new one though, that's the new one if you ain't got enough ballots for for to actually vote and they're waiting for hours on in and and I was talking to somebody about this the other day.
27:41.88
J. Aundrea
Also why are we doing paper ballots come on.
27:45.93
Bruce Anthony
Ah I why when I went to go vote and in my election on Tuesday it was like paper ballot. It is a paper ballot that you mark in with like an oval circle and then you and you throw it through a little machine but the scan tro literally. It's a scan tron ah, but so.
27:52.47
J. Aundrea
Oh no, not not the scan trying come on. Yeah.
28:04.19
Bruce Anthony
The point I'm trying to make in all this is I was talking to somebody. Thank you because I lost my train of thought you know I'm getting old and now so my train of thought is you know I lose it sometimes I'm talking to a friend right? a DHD I was I was talking to a friend and.
28:04.71
J. Aundrea
You say you were talking to somebody. Yeah, mine's on on a couple different tracks 80 h g.
28:23.32
Bruce Anthony
We were laughing at the hypocrisy of the fact that you get president's day off as a national holiday but Election day is not a national holiday where people get off it and and there have been.
28:30.44
J. Aundrea
M. Right.
28:41.24
Bruce Anthony
I'm not going to ricktor sixcoratorium or something like that he he was on. Thank you used me on Cnn now he's on Newsmax I saw a clip the other day and we'll get into the measures that passed in Ohio but in reference to just the votes.
28:45.44
J. Aundrea
Rick Santorum
28:59.35
Bruce Anthony
He was saying young people are coming out in droves to vote and that's not a good thing because they're voting this way in other words voting against conservative values. So what conservatives I E Republicans want are less votes because they know the more votes.
29:08.34
J. Aundrea
Right.
29:19.60
Bruce Anthony
They don't win. There has only been in the last twenty um was it the 20 the last twenty elections or the last twenty years something along the lines of that nature. There's only been one republican president that has won actually the popular vote and that was w's w's incumbent vote.
29:23.93
J. Aundrea
So.
29:38.13
J. Aundrea
So.
29:38.82
Bruce Anthony
So his second term since then in an over 20 years. There hasn't been a republican that won the popular vote republicans just aren't are their value. They're there what they stand for just isn't popular among the masses. It's the reason why. Some politicians were saying and we'll get into the abortions voting that happened this past Tuesday a lot of people were saying you know those type of issues shouldn't even be on the ballot because this is what's going to happen those type of issues that that are. Affecting people. People shouldn't be allowed to vote in. It should be controlled by the politicians. No, there are some things that people shouldn't be allowed to vote on I mean because if you go back to the eighteen and hundreds and slavery was on the ballot. You know people was gonna vote for people gonna vote for slavery right? David was gonna vote for that.
30:13.19
J. Aundrea
Um, you right.
30:23.54
J. Aundrea
Right? Yeah yeah.
30:30.43
Bruce Anthony
So there's certain things that should not be on the ballot that are universally andm morally wrong and we could have a debate whether you think abortion is morally wrong or not okay I knock really had that discussion right here right now. But for politicians to say yeah we want to take away votes.
30:40.15
J. Aundrea
So m.
30:48.80
Bruce Anthony
And now allow everybody to vote because those votes are goingnna go my way. That's essentially what they're doing so wake up.
30:53.70
J. Aundrea
Right? Yeah I think he said something along the lines of this Rick santorum that ah he's glad that. Ah, not all states have these ballot initiatives because you know. Allowing the people to vote is just the worst thing for a democracy or like yes, something like you know? No. Yeah yeah, and it's just like what.
31:13.35
Bruce Anthony
More or less more or less. That's what he said? That's not a direct crow but more or less right? but that's and and and and and so you get these tape of tactics. It's all it's been tactics like this for all. Since since voting has started to minimize the impact of voting so that the powerful can determine what goes on in this country right? because if the people have a voice honestly if the people had a voice.
31:41.23
J. Aundrea
So.
31:50.40
Bruce Anthony
There would be higher tax rates for people that and there are but even higher tax rates for the rich because not everybody is rich and there would be lower tax rates for the poor much lower like if you make a certain amount of money if you make if you only make twenty $5000 a year I'm sorry you shouldn't have to.
31:55.18
J. Aundrea
Yeah, right? yeah.
32:09.62
J. Aundrea
Right? Yeah I mean because the poverty line is like 30 something for a single person. So so if you're making below the poverty line.
32:10.47
Bruce Anthony
Shouldn't have to pay no taxes. Yeah yeah, um, and and and let me tell you something if you may but let me tell you something if you make in my area where I live if you making thirty some thousand dollars a year you might as well just go out there and start homeing.
32:27.18
J. Aundrea
No, no okay out it. Let's move on.
32:29.10
Bruce Anthony
Because you ain't gonna be able to survive what.
32:40.86
Bruce Anthony
Ah, ah, start only fans of some go on foot finder I mean hey you guys had to come up with that would zipped right past you.
32:45.57
J. Aundrea
Wait. What. Yeah, yeah, almost almost because I was looking up the tax race for people at the poverty line like what you said what the hell is foot bider.
33:01.86
Bruce Anthony
Are there are people out there look I thought about it but my feet ain't really that cute right? that time on you go stop calling my feet natural. Okay and I what's.
33:06.38
J. Aundrea
No, they're very natural well is this. You know there's a market for it as like like you know people who like Lord the rings. You know the de ho pop it feet did.
33:20.00
Bruce Anthony
What yeah waved the hobbit feet would be small I don't have small feet.
33:24.48
J. Aundrea
You'll no no, no, they were big Ugly hair feet if you like hobbit feed.
33:29.37
Bruce Anthony
How my feet aren't a hairy it. Just no I don't have hobb and feet I Just need a pedicure Anyway, people take.
33:38.16
J. Aundrea
Go ahead and sign up for for first some foot by.
33:48.99
Bruce Anthony
Ah, look the people have a fetish. Some people have feed fetish right? hey look I'm not I'm not here to judge a kinks I'm not here to judge them. But if all I got do is take some pictures of my feet and I'm gonna make some money off of it I don't see nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with that.
33:49.46
J. Aundrea
Ah, ridiculous. Yeah yes yeah.
34:02.42
J. Aundrea
Again again if you all do y'all like Jurassic Park
34:08.62
Bruce Anthony
I.
34:14.72
J. Aundrea
Ah, ah, if dinosaurs are your thing. There's some scaly some scaly feet available for you on foot five da up.
34:15.00
Bruce Anthony
Up look my feet are rough. You know how I know my feet are rough I be I be.
34:29.98
Bruce Anthony
Look I know my feet are rough because I I have to throw out socks every year because there are holes in them and holes in weird places hose at the toes hose on the heel. My heel destroys a socks.
34:39.33
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, that's not that's not weird. Yeah, he feels like a power sander.
34:47.55
Bruce Anthony
Are.
34:54.77
J. Aundrea
Ah, it's just wearing away that fabric who says wearing away that fabric That's not surprising.
35:00.52
Bruce Anthony
I've been taking better care of my feet because the last girl the last girl I dated was like hey you don't want to get a pedicure or some hit and I remember we were asleep 1 time and she rubbed her feet against my feet. and and I was still awake and she was half asleep as when she rubbed her feet against my feet. She made a face in her half sleep like ill and I was just like 90 to I need to get this settled I didn't get this this taken care of anyway, not enough a footfinder enough a foot finder.
35:24.40
J. Aundrea
Yeah, neither here nor there neither nor there.
35:29.90
Bruce Anthony
Maybe maybe if Brett Farb was on foot finder. He would have had the money to to fund those fields and and the volleyball court instead of stealing from the poor in Mississippi him and the governor said maybe they should go start a foot finder or they should go hip.
35:40.42
J. Aundrea
Exactly exactly because I'm sure there's somebody who wants to see athletes foot and Cali flower toe and all that's ah.
35:49.89
Bruce Anthony
Okay, but anyway so yeah, they they suppressing the vote and so when people say to me and this specifically is a black vote when people say to me with slavery so long ago? Yeah, ah, but but you do realize there's a whole thing after slavery and we're still kind of being oppressed.
36:07.55
J. Aundrea
Kind of that was what sales I had to.
36:09.26
Bruce Anthony
Not kind of not kind of well I mean some of us right? because I went into my election place and I walked in walked out of I was in there 15 minutes in and out.
36:18.51
J. Aundrea
Well now let's be honest and because so we can get. We can continue talking about this because Virginia also had an election.
36:22.83
Bruce Anthony
Oh or yeah, we don't get into that We don't get into that next we Go't get into that next but let's be honest about what what? what are you about to say? ah well.
36:29.90
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah.
36:34.49
J. Aundrea
Or you're a very heavily tinted purple. Yes.
36:39.63
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, because our governor our governor is still republican and he won by pretty not a landslide but it was pretty significant margin when he won um he lost on Tuesday really really lost on Tuesday but yeah blue also. Also.
36:47.79
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, yeah, yes, yes.
36:57.61
Bruce Anthony
I live in an area where the average income is significantly higher than most people. So yeah, we're not going to have a problem with our voting location because we pay too much money and taxes.
37:04.36
J. Aundrea
M.
37:10.71
J. Aundrea
Right? Yeah yeah.
37:16.67
Bruce Anthony
To have problems and here's the thing here's the thing that that I've discovered and some people may take offense to this I'm just being real So this is my unsolicit perspective on some realism in my building We had a new manage route management group come in.
37:23.98
J. Aundrea
And.
37:31.56
J. Aundrea
M.
37:33.70
Bruce Anthony
And actually one of my ex-girlfriends was the lawyer of record for this management group and when they took over. She's like oh you're gonna have some issues with them and I was like Wow one management group is the same as the next. No, they're not the same um and um, ah our building is advertised as a luxury.
37:50.72
J. Aundrea
M m.
37:51.77
Bruce Anthony
Apartment building I would argue that it's not luxury because we got too many damn problems in here for it to be luxury. Um, but it's advertised as luxury and in my building is not a cheap place to live that that is absolutely true, but this management company isn't used to handling.
38:00.95
J. Aundrea
Right.
38:10.63
Bruce Anthony
Luxury buildings. They're used to handling buildings that are far less than luxury and when you have people living in situations that are far less in luxury. Their income tends to be lower and people that have lower income.
38:11.45
J. Aundrea
M.
38:17.45
J. Aundrea
Right.
38:25.53
J. Aundrea
And.
38:29.87
Bruce Anthony
Um, are not going to argue and fight too much about their conditions because they're always fearful of potentially being kicked out right? It's not easy to pick up and move right? like I was thinking about moving and I was like oh this is.
38:41.40
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah.
38:46.25
Bruce Anthony
This is at least 3 grand just for me to move just to get movers and packers and that's is extra 3 grand on top of the fact I'm probably gonna be paying more each month. So it's a really costly to move so people that are aren't in luxury or don't have the.
38:53.61
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah.
39:02.86
Bruce Anthony
Economic resources to say forget this I'm a just move um tend to put up with a lot more than people who have those resources to just pick up and move ah and this building does not know who they're dealing with because whenever there's an issue. There are people lined up at their offices.
39:04.17
J. Aundrea
M.
39:11.14
J. Aundrea
Right.
39:22.76
Bruce Anthony
Complaining and they're not used to that and they're used to kind of giving this pushback and and they're like well in your lease and we have we have lawyers right? and we have people who are who have a law back First of all I live in Dc just about half the population in Dcs has gone to law school.
39:25.54
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yes.
39:38.25
J. Aundrea
Boom.
39:40.24
Bruce Anthony
So or they're in real estate and no real estate law people no law around here so you can't hit and win a mumble jumbo thinking at big words thinking that they're gonna be scared and back off know these people are gonna be in your face. What the larger point I'm trying to make is is that we're not gonna have an issue.
39:42.66
J. Aundrea
Yes.
39:50.32
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
39:58.66
Bruce Anthony
Our polling places where I live because people are going to complain and raise hell and they had the resources to complain and raise hell and get something done where these things tend to happen are where people don't have the economic resources to raise hell and complain or even if they did the.
39:59.38
J. Aundrea
Mean.
40:06.60
J. Aundrea
Right.
40:17.88
Bruce Anthony
They're just gonna be ignored anyway because there's not enough voices that have the economic resources to rise up and complaint.
40:24.21
J. Aundrea
And that's where you're talking about where I live because and because I am it where where I live an hour two hours to vote is normal. It's normal.
40:28.44
Bruce Anthony
Well I mean.
40:39.90
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, it's ridiculous.
40:43.27
J. Aundrea
That's that's so when I read the story about it taking them an hour to vote in Mississippi like that's the minimum that you'll get here. Um, and they.
40:52.74
Bruce Anthony
And it's not. It's not based on the the population because I live in a really really dense populated area. We just have a bunch of different places that you can vote whereas you don't have that right.
41:03.31
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, we just we don't have that um and every year I feel like they close more polling places.
41:12.57
Bruce Anthony
Which is ridiculous I like why are you going? Why you unclose more polling places that just doesn't make sense. So yeah, they out here? Yeah well yes yes I mean yes, it does make sense in that regard. But I'm talking about by and large when we live in a democracy where every vote is supposed to.
41:19.40
J. Aundrea
It does. They don't want you to vote.
41:28.10
J. Aundrea
Yeah, well Rick Santorum thinks you know democratic process is the worst thank for us right now.
41:31.23
Bruce Anthony
To count and matter That's what they tell you? Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the reason why everybody everybody on that side aisle kow tells to Trump even though everybody he's endorsing is losing right and left they want more of an authoritative. Type government. They don't really want a true democracy. Um, but we'll get into more of elections and and get a little gets get some laughs more laughs or we'll detour to create some more laughs in the next segment.
41:53.14
J. Aundrea
Um.
42:09.24
Bruce Anthony
All right? Jay you had some stuff from the election that you wanted to talk about the elections on Tuesday so I'm gonna let you lead the charge on this one.
42:10.17
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
42:16.73
J. Aundrea
Yes, so this is Ohio um, so first of all, it was a big night for abortion rights and I think that if. Republicans did not see this coming. They're crazy because polling would show you that ah any polling will show you that the ah the striking down of Roe V Wade was incredibly unpopular. So a lot I think. About the elections ah this year and in 2024 is gonna have a lot to do with abortion rights. So Ohio um, issue one which is the right. To an abortion protected by the state constitution passed ah 56 to 43 so this is actually going to become an ah percent. Yeah 43%. Yes, so this is actually gonna become an amendment.
43:14.10
Bruce Anthony
Percent that was 56 to 40 Yeah 56 to 43% yeah
43:23.59
J. Aundrea
In the Ohio constitution giving individuals the right to make and carry out their own reproductive decisions including on abortion. So that's crazy I mean that that's awesome.
43:34.00
Bruce Anthony
So what was so what was funny about that was is there was a ah vote a couple of months back because the congress in Ohio was trying to make it so that it's harder to even change the state constitution.
43:38.86
J. Aundrea
And.
43:49.25
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
43:51.39
Bruce Anthony
That the requirements would be harder and that failed so they did that vote and preparation for this vote to make sure that it didn't pass and they lost twice what republicans need to understand is contrary to what you Believe. You can't control a woman's right to their body and women are categorically now not just women. Everybody is categorically denying you being able to control somebody else's body.
44:21.77
J. Aundrea
Yes, so here's what I hear here's my opinion you know Ohio is heavily gerrymandered in favor of republicans. Ah, it's the drawing of.
44:29.65
Bruce Anthony
So can you explain what gerrymandering is I know what it is but there's some people out there. They'd be like what the hell is gerrymander.
44:38.87
J. Aundrea
I Love that you made sure to. Ah yeah.
44:40.66
Bruce Anthony
Just like just like you made sure that it chooses that you told everybody that that that you knew there was a election I'm gonna make sure I know what it is but people out there might not know what it is.
44:52.15
J. Aundrea
So every state there are um, ah and and is an electoral map. There are boundaries and districts everything is and it's all drawn up and gerrymandering is manipulating these boundaries to.
45:03.12
Bruce Anthony
Districts.
45:11.77
J. Aundrea
Favor in this case in Ohio of republicans. So basically they will carve up. Um you know, primarily democratic areas and you know mix them in with heavily. Republican areas to basically it doesn't matter how many people come out to vote because these lines are drawn in such a way that it favors republicans even ah, you know, even something that's heavily favored by the public.
45:49.24
Bruce Anthony
Exactly.
45:49.80
J. Aundrea
Still may not pass So this was actually a citizen sponsored measure and so what I think happened is they started believing their own hype the Republicans ah and forgetting that this is a heavily gerrymandered state. But if you give.
45:57.48
Bruce Anthony
Who.
46:09.60
J. Aundrea
The people the option to make the decision is going to be what is actually the the will of the populace and not these kind of distorted boundary lines.
46:22.11
Bruce Anthony
Right? So like when when for for people out there. They're just trying to get a clearer picture when you draw these gerrymandering maps. They really they really affect statehouse races right? when you're doing statewide races it it it.
46:32.75
J. Aundrea
Yes.
46:39.70
Bruce Anthony
Gerrymandering really doesn't affect it right? So when you're voting for Governor when you're voting for your state senator your your senator representative for Congress doesn't really affect. It will will affect. It is your delegates. Um, for for your district.
46:47.59
J. Aundrea
But.
46:55.18
Bruce Anthony
Your your representatives the people that go to the house of representatives for congress these type of things really doesn't affect you so much when you're voting for you the senators or governors or president or measures like this wherever where it's just like everybody's vote.
46:58.54
J. Aundrea
Right? yeah.
47:08.57
J. Aundrea
M.
47:15.15
Bruce Anthony
Is counted and is going towards this One thing. So ah yeah, they backfired and I think a lot of conservatives they went too hard and this is what I mean by this in abortion they're trying to outlaw abortion.
47:15.63
J. Aundrea
To write.
47:25.65
J. Aundrea
I mean.
47:31.61
Bruce Anthony
No matter what and you have too many voices I don't know if it's the national party line but you got too many voices in the republican party that are saying ban ban abortion no matter what circumstances and my state governor Junen was trying to do a fifteen week ban Fifteen weeks is four months
47:40.65
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yes, yes.
47:51.20
Bruce Anthony
Let's not let's take out the first month take out the first 6 weeks all right because most women don't really find out right until six weeks later Four To Six Weeks Later right so then there's really nine weeks to make a decision on what you wanna do and I'm sorry when you are making a big life decision on that.
47:57.91
J. Aundrea
Don't know.
48:09.96
J. Aundrea
M.
48:10.61
Bruce Anthony
You need more than nine weeks right? You need more than nine weeks um so in our state that was his big thing that he was running on and he failed he was trying to get control of the what is essentially the representatives the house of representatives and the state senate.
48:17.84
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
48:30.27
Bruce Anthony
Trying to get control of everything and it was all on a line and overwhelmingly he lost now Democrats have control of the entire state congress. So he's ah he's basically a lame duck governor for the next two years he's not gonna get anything passed his fifteen week band is out the window because that was on the ballot.
48:36.36
J. Aundrea
Um.
48:38.96
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah.
48:46.66
J. Aundrea
Yes.
48:48.91
Bruce Anthony
Abortion was on the ballot. So um, yeah, you it was on a ballot in Kentucky where you had a democrat. He was an incumbent a democratic governor Andy be sheer ah be a black man that was all right? So this is funny to me.
48:55.36
J. Aundrea
Yes, Andy Bashir
49:07.92
J. Aundrea
Um, okay, yes, yes.
49:08.43
Bruce Anthony
It was ah it was a black guy named Daniel Cameron that was running for governor as a republican and even was endorsed by the former president Donald J Trump I just like saying his whole name Donald J Trump because I just found out the middle name was John I don't know why I thought it wouldn't go be John. I don't know what I thought it was gonna be jackson jaheen I like it I don't know what Jeremiah. Ah yeah, wasn't gonna be none of those things so he was backed by ah the former president Donald J Trump and he lost and I was watching in new. Yeah, he lost big.
49:27.92
J. Aundrea
Um I don't I know wasn't gonna be Jamal now. Yeah, that's 25 points. Yeah.
49:43.43
Bruce Anthony
And I was watching the news and everybody was surprised that Ok um, but ah, everybody on in news cycles were surprised that he lost and he still lost big and lost by that much because they called the race.
49:47.20
J. Aundrea
Well, that was sorry that was 202025 Twenty twenty
50:02.93
Bruce Anthony
They called the race I I was watching the news. It was only like four percent of the votes had come in and there's this like oh yeah, any oneness it was just like any oneness um and and lot of people couldn't realize it was like well I don't understand how he didn't do well he was backed by the former president in a red state.
50:08.13
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
50:21.50
Bruce Anthony
Ah, yes, it was an incumbent governor and I was like oh this is the easy 1 no matter what he was black no matter what he was black running against a white man like and people people see color. No matter what also he was he said abortion bans pretty much no matter what.
50:23.38
J. Aundrea
Right.
50:37.90
J. Aundrea
And yeah, but again that is putting abortion is on the ballot and if it's on the ballot I mean honestly, it's not that hard look at the polling people are.
50:39.85
Bruce Anthony
So he had a lot of things going on against him. But yeah, basically look yeah.
50:56.73
J. Aundrea
Overwhelmingly pro-choice so it just does I don't understand why they feel like this is a hill they should die on. But.
51:03.57
Bruce Anthony
Are people overwhelmingly pro-choice or are people overwhelmingly like look doesn't have nothing to do with me.
51:09.85
J. Aundrea
I Think people are overwhelmingly the government shouldn't have a voice in this decision. Yeah.
51:17.42
Bruce Anthony
Right? Yes I mean that's your personal life. What's next the government's going to have ah a voice in people getting divorced I mean this is a slippery slope people gonna have as ah, a government going to have a hand in you doing tattoos or piercings.
51:22.85
J. Aundrea
Right.
51:31.63
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
51:34.40
Bruce Anthony
Like that because that's a part of your body right? Ah, the government is already trying to control children so that they can't transition if they want to in certain states like eliminating care. So a government's already trying to control your body for people that say and republicans always talk about limited government. They sure don't want limited government when it comes to dictating to other people what they should and should not do with their body so it was just funny and I think the former president Donald J Trump who has been boasting that he is the one to enter Roe v wade that that's the reason why he is.
51:59.52
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
52:06.29
J. Aundrea
Yes.
52:11.73
Bruce Anthony
If if Biden and his crew is smart. They will keep hitting former president Trump on that and they can get the turnout that they need to make sure that Donald J Trump isn't reelected I don't know if y'all people out there understand where I'm on. What fence I'm on or what side of the fence I'm on when it comes to Donald J Trump or Joe Biden I'll just basically tell you I'm on Joe Biden side cause Donald J John Donald J Trump I think is a detriment to our society. Um I think he can do I think he already has done so much damage that is gonna take I don't even think.
52:35.77
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
52:49.64
Bruce Anthony
Some of the damage that he's done as far as the divisiveness and it was him as far as the divisiveness in this country will be solved in my lifetime because people are just so angry that along with news organizations that keep feeding people things and make people angrier and angry and angry and angry swear everybody up in this piece is just angry Everybody you know what everybody needs to do.
52:51.59
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
53:08.80
Bruce Anthony
Find a fetish you know if it's feet go on foot finder if it's or or smoke wheat.
53:10.24
J. Aundrea
Or or you can go to Ohio because issue number 2 that was on the ballot Ohio voters approved a measure legalizing recreational marijuana on Tuesday defying republican legislative leaders.
53:26.72
Bruce Anthony
Ah.
53:28.79
J. Aundrea
Who had failed to pass the proposed law. So ah, you can you is safe for you to make your own medical decisions and toke up in Ohio for.
53:42.00
Bruce Anthony
Look.
53:44.68
J. Aundrea
I Mean obviously we already have this ah you know gerrymandered State house that is going to try to do whatever they can to subvert. Um the voters wishes. So.
54:00.17
Bruce Anthony
Yeah I think Ohio is overwhelmed I think if I'm not mistaken I believe they have a republican governor and control both the state house and senate.
54:09.95
J. Aundrea
Um, now the Marijuana um use they you know may have an opportunity to kind of undermine that the abortion issue I'm not so sure because it's. And amendment to the actual state constitution. So they're gonna have a much harder time attacking that but that doesn't mean that they won't try. Yeah I mean I don't know that I would say I Love It. Oh.
54:26.56
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, that's gonna be tough to do.
54:33.70
Bruce Anthony
Well I know you real happy about that because you love Weed. No, and I think you love it.
54:45.66
J. Aundrea
Well I will say a complicated relationship with it I mean.
54:47.65
Bruce Anthony
I Tell you I'm I'm done with Marijuana because I can't find a good balance I used to have a good balance with it where I would just feel good and then you know I I would get a little bit of the munchies and I will go to bit but lately I did an edible and not even a lot of.
54:54.24
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
55:06.74
Bruce Anthony
An edible on Saturday night and I was so excited about going to bed semi early on Saturday night like around midnight because I knew if I didn't plan to get up until 9 I was actually gonna get 10 hours of sleep. So I was like I'm gonna get an extra Howard this is gonna be great I took an edible at seven thirty
55:19.60
J. Aundrea

Okay I'm the two o'clock in the morning vibing out to Youtube music listening to black and Jesse Rez and they only got 2 songs together but I was listening to it over and over again, not realizing like I need to take my ass a bit I don't like weeding them more.
55:27.79
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
55:43.30
J. Aundrea
Well I mean it's like what did you take? That's that's your problem you need to know you need to know what you're ingesting and how it's going to affect you.
55:43.88
Bruce Anthony

No don't believe that at it. new new now now these kind of the turnout is goingnna be completely different and so I don't think that this is indicative of how it's going going 23 and 4.
