Shannon Sharp's Explosive Allegations, Bills, & Facial Expressions

AC meltdown, Shannon Sharp scandal, Reddit toxicity, facial expressions betray you—Bruce and J. Aundrea GET MESSY in this Sibling Happy Hour! Join us as we unpack an HVAC repair nightmare that sent Bruce's utility bills sky-high, then rewind to College Park Frat Row fables: slumlord mayors, finals-week evictions, and the dark side of frat culture.
In our signature spicy takes, we debate why Reddit may be the “least toxic” of all social media platforms—even as Truth Social and X spew venom—and settle the great socially liberal vs. fiscally conservative oxymoron once and for all. Plus, get a sneak peek at the psychology of facial expressions and what your micro-expressions really reveal about your mood and intentions.
Then it gets explosive: NFL legend Shannon Sharp faces a $50 million civil lawsuit, accused of rape, sexual assault, and battery. We break down the audio leaks, role-play text messages, and the age-gap power dynamics at the heart of this controversy. What’s the difference between kinks and coercion? Why did Sharp’s legal team publicly release those messages? And how do Tony Busby’s settlement strategies factor in? #shannonsharpe #redditstories #facialexpressions #socialmedia #unsolicitedperspectives
Laugh along as we riff on app-building stress, finals jitters, and the sibling dynamic that turns every topic into a rowdy debate.

[00:01:24] AC Meltdown: Sweating Over Bills & Blown Compressors 💸🥵
[00:01:24] Bruce Anthony: My AC is broke now. It hasn't been a big issue [00:01:30] because it hasn't really gotten hot or it's just now starting to get warm.
[00:01:35] J. Aundrea: Okay.
[00:01:36] Bruce Anthony: And so I, they said something about the compressor was, uh, blown. Oh, by the way, it is been blown for a little while.
[00:01:42] Bruce Anthony: I didn't know my air ed, ed, my air conditioning was broke. Uh, this tasted, this tastes pretty. I didn't know my air conditioner was broke and got my utility bell. And that's how I realized my air conditioner was broke.
[00:01:55] J. Aundrea: Mm
[00:01:55] Bruce Anthony: Uh, compressor was just pumping. I mean, the utility bill was five times what it normally [00:02:00] is.
[00:02:00] Bruce Anthony: So, yeah, so I'm not happy about that. Already paid it, so it is what it is, but they've been waiting for this part. This part has taken like two weeks to get in. And then finally there was just like, all right, we couldn't get the main part, but we got another part, and so we're gonna fix it. I was like, okay.
[00:02:17] Bruce Anthony: He told me, the, the maintenance guy told me this Monday. He said, the part of being on Wednesday, we'll fix it on Thursday. I said, okay, cool. He sees me earlier today in the gym, and it's like eight o'clock in the morning, eight 30 in the morning, and he says, [00:02:30] Hey, the part is in, we're gonna go ahead and do it today.
[00:02:33] Bruce Anthony: And I was like, oh. Oh, okay. Like, how much is, how intricate is this? And then, you know me, I'm not mechanically inclined, so he is just going off and telling me these things and I
[00:02:44] J. Aundrea: don't even know why you asked the question.
[00:02:46] Bruce Anthony: well, I, what I really wanted to know was, how long is this going to take? Because I thought it was just replacing the part.
[00:02:53] J. Aundrea: Why didn't you just ask that?
[00:02:54] Bruce Anthony: Well, I did eventually,
[00:02:56] J. Aundrea: eventually. Okay.
[00:02:58] Bruce Anthony: after he started talking, I was like, [00:03:00] ah, okay, I'm not following it. How, how long is this gonna take?
[00:03:03] J. Aundrea: yeah.
[00:03:03] Bruce Anthony: was like, oh, about six hours. I said, six hours. Why is it gonna take so long? And I was like, y'all ain't got six hours. You got six hours if you start right now, because I got things I gotta do.
[00:03:12] Bruce Anthony: I got stuff I gotta record and things like that. He said, okay. Okay. So the maintenance people up here doing the work, they're going from here to the roof. I look in the li in the closet where my air conditioner is or whatever that unit is. I guess it's an HVAC or whatever. I don't even know what it's called.
[00:03:29] J. Aundrea: There's something,[00:03:30]
[00:03:30] Bruce Anthony: It's the whole thing is gone. They gave me a whole new one. That's the reason why it's taking six hours.
[00:03:36] J. Aundrea: Oh, so they couldn't get the part to replace, so they just replaced the whole unit. That was the part that they
[00:03:44] Bruce Anthony: Yeah.
[00:03:44] J. Aundrea: G the alternate part,
[00:03:46] Bruce Anthony: So it just replaced the whole thing. Predict is here. So they just left 20 minutes. 'cause I told 'em, I was like, Hey man, when y'all wrapping up? 'cause I can't have all this banging as I'm recording. They was like, oh, we're, we're cleaning up now. I was like, so we good to go? It was like, no, [00:04:00] something's still not right.
[00:04:01] Bruce Anthony: I said, so y'all been here all day and
[00:04:04] J. Aundrea: All day.
[00:04:05] Bruce Anthony: my air conditioning still ain't working. Right. And I know it's getting hot outside 'cause I'm waking up sweating even with all the fans.
[00:04:11] J. Aundrea: Yep.
[00:04:11] Bruce Anthony: I'm waking up sweating. This problem need to be resolved immediately.
[00:04:18] J. Aundrea: expeditiously.
[00:04:19] Bruce Anthony: Right. It need to be solved. So they said we're gonna come back tomorrow. Something with the Freon. I was like, you talk about stuff, I don't know nothing about tomorrow. It'll be fixed. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It'll be fixed tomorrow. All [00:04:30] right. All right.
[00:04:31] J. Aundrea: It better
[00:04:32] Bruce Anthony: It better
[00:04:33] J. Aundrea: because as this temperature goes up,
[00:04:35] Bruce Anthony: Woo. Yeah, because um,
[00:04:37] J. Aundrea: don't play.
[00:04:38] Bruce Anthony: starting to get up there.
[00:04:39] Bruce Anthony: It's starting to get up there. You know, DC I can't breathe outside. I.
[00:04:43] J. Aundrea: The pollen. Mm-hmm. Yeah. It's the worst. It's the w You literally can't
[00:04:48] J. Aundrea: taste it. It's in the air. It's on the air. It's floating on the air.
[00:04:52] Bruce Anthony: And it don't taste good.
[00:04:53] J. Aundrea: No,
[00:04:54] Bruce Anthony: Don't taste good. But you're extremely tired.
[00:04:57] J. Aundrea: Yes. Very, very much so. [00:05:00] It's finals time and it's crunch time. I got one presentation due tomorrow. Don't know what's gonna happen with that. So. Uh, another thing, I'm building an app and it's not working and so it's, it's, it is, I'm stressed out,
[00:05:20] Bruce Anthony: Did you, did you try the thing I suggested when? When's the last time I talked to you? Sunday?
[00:05:24] J. Aundrea: I, yeah. Sunday.
[00:05:25] Bruce Anthony: Yeah. Did you try the things I was talking about on Sunday? You don't even, [00:05:30] yeah. You
[00:05:30] J. Aundrea: I don't
[00:05:31] Bruce Anthony: We'll talk about that off air. Yeah. You got a lot going on and you suggested, ladies and gentlemen, we are filming this on a Wednesday.
[00:05:38] Bruce Anthony: All of this is easier for me because now we are not filming. Multiple hours of content on my Sunday fun day, which I just absolutely love. But my sister made this suggestion about two weeks before she should have.
[00:05:49] J. Aundrea: Yes. Yes. I should have said, Hey, once finals are over, my Wednesdays will be open, but uh, yeah.
[00:05:59] J. Aundrea: 'cause they are [00:06:00] not currently,
[00:06:01] Bruce Anthony: Yeah. Well, you know what? I think it's healthy to take an hour long break to jib jabber with your brother,
[00:06:07] J. Aundrea: You know what? I think you're right. So, so let's, let's get the JPA Jabber.
[00:06:12] Bruce Anthony: clear your mind and your soul and get to laughing. That's all.
[00:06:20] Bruce Anthony: That's what's up.
[00:06:21] J. Aundrea: I dunno why I gotta clear my soul.
[00:06:23] Bruce Anthony: you got Well, 'cause your soul is corrupted when y'all just working. I don't know. I don't, I don't know. I don't [00:06:30] know.
[00:06:30] College Throwback: Frat Row Fables & Finals Fails 🎓🍻
[00:06:30] Bruce Anthony: I was reading an article. It wasn't an article, it was an article, but I found it on my favorite social media site, Reddit.
[00:06:36] J. Aundrea: mm-hmm.
[00:06:36] Bruce Anthony: So there was this. Picture of this, it was a frat house on the University of Maryland and I was trying to figure out where the hell it was.
[00:06:46] Bruce Anthony: 'cause I thought I knew where all the frat houses were, but I didn't, 'cause I'm only thinking about Frat Row and a lot of people that hasn't been to the University of Maryland don't even understand what I'm talking about. But there was a fraternity row
[00:06:57] Bruce Anthony: that was shaped like a horseshoe that had, I [00:07:00] don't know, 10 to 12 different fraternity houses.
[00:07:03] Bruce Anthony: I mean, these are like big mansions. Um, all in this little courtyard. So I'm reading this article 'cause everybody was like, what is this? I see it on campus. I don't know what it is. And this is letting me know that these young kids don't understand what frat houses are. I
[00:07:18] Bruce Anthony: guess it's not a thing anymore.
[00:07:20] Bruce Anthony: And it's kind of like,
[00:07:21] J. Aundrea: no, I'm, I'm pretty sure they're still frat houses.
[00:07:24] Bruce Anthony: they're not as prevalent as when we were going to school.
[00:07:27] J. Aundrea: that's where all the parties and stuff [00:07:30] used to be.
[00:07:31] J. Aundrea: Um, but
[00:07:33] Bruce Anthony: uh, maybe these kids
[00:07:34] Bruce Anthony: ain't, ain't doing what they, what we
[00:07:36] J. Aundrea: frat frat parties, the connotation that, you know, the implication that came along with frat parties, maybe they've gone out of vogue because they could be quite dangerous.
[00:07:51] Bruce Anthony: yeah, I mean they were very toxic. They were toxic, toxic, toxic places.
[00:07:56] J. Aundrea: Yeah.
[00:07:57] Bruce Anthony: For all
[00:07:58] J. Aundrea: for everybody.
[00:07:59] Bruce Anthony: for [00:08:00] everybody
[00:08:00] Bruce Anthony: involved. So I'm reading this article, and the article, of course was a slum lord in
[00:08:05] J. Aundrea: Mm-hmm.
[00:08:06] Bruce Anthony: in the state of
[00:08:06] J. Aundrea: Mm-hmm.
[00:08:07] Bruce Anthony: and what he did was, is that he ran for mayor in College Park and lost. And one of the reasons why he lost when he ran for mayor is because it came out during, you know, investigation that he owed a lot of back taxes and like, he ain't paid, he was running in 2017.
[00:08:24] Bruce Anthony: He ain't paid, he owed taxes in 2005.
[00:08:27] J. Aundrea: Right.
[00:08:28] Bruce Anthony: So here it is. I think it was [00:08:30] 20 18, 19, 20, 20. He. These people are moving into one of these frat houses that he owns. And I guess I, I guess it was no longer considered a frat house anymore. Just a place where people could rent rooms.
[00:08:45] J. Aundrea: Okay.
[00:08:46] Bruce Anthony: And he took all these people's money, especially students, and he lost that, the property because of the back taxes.
[00:08:55] Bruce Anthony: And another company took it over and another company was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That [00:09:00] old lease that y'all thought y'all had, nah, we gonna do this and y'all need to sign right here, right now. And people were like, well, no, we don't wanna agree to these new terms. And they was like, all right, we'll get the hell out.
[00:09:11] Bruce Anthony: And this was right around finals. I'm reading the article and this happened right around finals, and I was just like, wow, that's crazy. Our old stomping grounds finals. And these people were like, we got evicted. We don't, I don't know, it's kind of hard to focus on studies
[00:09:28] J. Aundrea: When you're homeless.
[00:09:29] Bruce Anthony: [00:09:30] homeless. She's homeless.
[00:09:32] Bruce Anthony: She is homeless.
[00:09:34] J. Aundrea: Yeah. I mean, legit. That, that's the song,
[00:09:39] Bruce Anthony: That's the song.
[00:09:40] J. Aundrea: that's the song to sing.
[00:09:41] Bruce Anthony: right. So it was just like, yo, this is crazy. And of course on Reddit.
[00:09:45] Social Media Showdown: Is Reddit Really the Least Toxic? 📱
[00:09:45] Bruce Anthony: Reddit be having some crazy stuff. Y'all
[00:09:48] J. Aundrea: It be, it'd also be having the news. Um,
[00:09:52] Bruce Anthony: old news, I guess.
[00:09:54] J. Aundrea: but it, it has the news on there. No, it's Reddit's actually pretty up to date if you [00:10:00] follow the news subreddit. Uh, it's, uh, politics, subreddit and all this. Pretty up to date.
[00:10:06] Bruce Anthony: Yeah, it is. I, yeah, it's not as to, it's the least toxic of all the social medias, in my
[00:10:11] Bruce Anthony: opinion. The most toxic,
[00:10:13] Bruce Anthony: uh, I didn't say it wasn't toxic. I said the least toxic.
[00:10:18] J. Aundrea: Yeah, probably.
[00:10:19] J. Aundrea: Yeah. I
[00:10:20] J. Aundrea: mean, we all know X is yes. I
[00:10:23] J. Aundrea: was just about to actually, it was probably gonna be, uh, whatever that, [00:10:30] whatever that MAGA platform
[00:10:32] J. Aundrea: is. True social.
[00:10:33] J. Aundrea: Yeah. It's probably gonna be true social, but none of us would dare to have a account on true social.
[00:10:41] J. Aundrea: So
[00:10:42] Bruce Anthony: When I say toxic, I mean the comments are toxic, right? Like on true social, I already expect to be toxic, but it's, I don't think the individual commentators on each post are, are, are as venomous to the people that are posting because I don't believe,
[00:10:59] J. Aundrea: I, I think [00:11:00] they're probably venomous about whatever the subject matter is
[00:11:03] J. Aundrea: that's being posted.
[00:11:04] Bruce Anthony: But when I say to what I mean by toxic is like people actually coming after the posters.
[00:11:09] J. Aundrea: Okay.
[00:11:10] Bruce Anthony: Yeah. So I don't, I don't, I don't think it's like that. I
[00:11:12] J. Aundrea: yeah. No, no. It's probably a one big happy community on true social, honestly. Everybody's just being racist and sexist and the worst.
[00:11:24] Bruce Anthony: That's what everybody is being on there. Nobody is talking about being fiscally conservative. 'cause that's what republicans [00:11:30] love to talk about. They love to
[00:11:31] J. Aundrea: no. Nobody's talking about
[00:11:32] J. Aundrea: that.
[00:11:33] Bruce Anthony: which is a oxymoron. 'cause you can't be fiscally conserv.
[00:11:36] Oxymoron Alert: Can You Be Socially Liberal & Fiscally Conservative? ⚖️
[00:11:36] Bruce Anthony: I, no, a oxymoron is When I had friends that said that they were socially liberal and fiscally conservative and I was like, you can't be both.
[00:11:44] J. Aundrea: That's not an oxymoron though.
[00:11:45] Bruce Anthony: Um, well, oh, okay. What's, what's the actual definition of oxymoron then?
[00:11:50] J. Aundrea: It is. It is two opposite things put together.
[00:11:53] Bruce Anthony: Yes.
[00:11:54] Bruce Anthony: Those are two opposite things put together. He said, the person said that they were socially liberal [00:12:00] and fiscally conservative.
[00:12:01] Bruce Anthony: That
[00:12:02] Bruce Anthony: two
[00:12:02] J. Aundrea: are not two opposite things,
[00:12:04] Bruce Anthony: that. But they are the, in, not even the theory in practice, they are polar opposites.
[00:12:11] J. Aundrea: Explain,
[00:12:12] Bruce Anthony: Okay.
[00:12:13] Bruce Anthony: If you are socially liberal, then that means that you believe in social programs.
[00:12:19] J. Aundrea: No, it believes they're talking about when they say socially liberal, they're talking about we gonna let you do whatever you wanna do in your household.
[00:12:27] J. Aundrea: We don't care about your gender [00:12:30] identity. We believe Black lives, black Lives matter. That's what they mean by socially liberal. They're not saying that they believe in, in social programs and safety net, they actually are saying the opposite of that. So what they're actually saying is not quite an oxymoron, is it's, uh, it's hypocritical because you can't be. Against social programs, but say that you support people that, so that I would say [00:13:00] in that regard as an it, it might be something of an oxymoron.
[00:13:04] Bruce Anthony: the point I'm trying to make and because if you say that you're socially liberal and, and, and it's in its definition, socially liberal, means that you believe in social programs. I don't care what their interpretation of it is. I'm saying what the actual interpretation is. If you're socially liberal, that means you believe in social programs.
[00:13:24] J. Aundrea: Mm,
[00:13:28] Bruce Anthony: We gonna really debate on this. [00:13:30]
[00:13:30] Bruce Anthony: This is where we going on the show today,
[00:13:32] J. Aundrea: Social liberalism is a political philosophy and a variety of liberalism
[00:13:37] J. Aundrea: that endorses social justice. To your point, social services, a mixed economy
[00:13:46] J. Aundrea: and the expansion of civil and political rights.
[00:13:50] Bruce Anthony: Okay. So let's go with the programs and the mixed economy. If you take those two premises of being socially liberal, then you can't be fiscally [00:14:00] conservative.
[00:14:01] J. Aundrea: You are correct. Then it is oxymoronic.
[00:14:04] J. Aundrea: Sorry, sorry. I a I I'm willing to say I'm wrong when I'm wrong. You, I needed your, I needed you to explain,
[00:14:12] J. Aundrea: I needed you to explain and, and now that yes, you are correct. It is oxy onic.
[00:14:17] Bruce Anthony: That's like some, somebody came to me one time and they said that, I used the word that me and you were getting in a debate about, ah, it was a word that I always use night, not hyperbolic. [00:14:30] Which I love that word by the way.
[00:14:31] J. Aundrea: You like hypocritical?
[00:14:33] Bruce Anthony: oh. Hypocritical is one of my favorite words of all time. But it was a word that the hubris, that's
[00:14:39] J. Aundrea: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
[00:14:40] Bruce Anthony: And they were like, you didn't use it, right? And I was like, yes, I did. Let's break out the definitions. And I did. I mean, look, I don't always say words.
[00:14:49] J. Aundrea: Well,
[00:14:52] J. Aundrea: you don't always say sentences. Well, [00:15:00] but sometimes you know what you're talking about and you are, you are correct.
[00:15:04] J. Aundrea: That is oxymoronic.
[00:15:05] Bruce Anthony: I know what. I'm intending to say. When I say the things that I say, they sometimes they just don't travel that well from my brain to my mouth. You know, I got a lisp and I got a big tongue, and my lips are big and, and I don't open my mouth wide enough. I guess what I talk, plus I talk out the side of my mouth and my mind is moving faster than my lips can move.
[00:15:24] Bruce Anthony: I, it's a lot of
[00:15:24] J. Aundrea: There's a lot. That was a long list that you just rattled off there for [00:15:30] reasons why you don't talk. Good.
[00:15:39] Bruce Anthony: but
[00:15:40] J. Aundrea: I was quite a list.
[00:15:41] Bruce Anthony: but I do know words and I know the definitions and I'm quite literal with the words that I use.
[00:15:49] J. Aundrea: meaning
[00:15:50] Bruce Anthony: I use the literal definition of the words, not what people, not what people have morphed the word to mean in its current, [00:16:00]
[00:16:00] Bruce Anthony: in in our, in our current state of
[00:16:02] J. Aundrea: theory, well, here's the thing, language is not math. So the rules can change and often very much do change. So you are using a definition of a thing, but it might be a past definition that might, that definition might be deprecated and you might be using it in the wrong context now.
[00:16:29] J. Aundrea: So you [00:16:30] do have to like, you do have to understand that I'm just telling you what the thing you can make, whatever face you wanna make, I'm just telling you the thing.
[00:16:40] Bruce Anthony: Websters tells me the definition. That's the definition.
[00:16:43] J. Aundrea: But it all, it changes in Webster's too,
[00:16:45] Bruce Anthony: W and that's the, those are the definitions I follow. It's the Webster's definition. So I'd be checking words. I'm like, did I use this right? Yeah, I used it, right? 'cause people always wanna argue with me, with the words I use, and I'm like, look, I don't just [00:17:00] say words and I don't know what they mean.
[00:17:02] J. Aundrea: You know what, I think it's your, maybe it's just your voice or cadence where it sounds like you using a word and it's just wrong. And I dunno. Even though it's right. Even though it's right. What? I hear it. I'm like, don't sound right.
[00:17:17] Bruce Anthony: So what you, you don't expect something that intelligent to come out my mouth. That's what you basically said.
[00:17:21] J. Aundrea: No. You know how like my voice makes me sound like a jerk.
[00:17:25] Bruce Anthony: Well,
[00:17:27] J. Aundrea: Yeah.
[00:17:27] J. Aundrea: So it's
[00:17:28] J. Aundrea: like, no, [00:17:30] no. Like I say things and then people will be like, I sound like a jerk, but I'm actually being genuine.
[00:17:37] Bruce Anthony: Yeah. Genuinely a jerk.
[00:17:38] J. Aundrea: no, I'm not trying to be a jerk at all. Like, it'll be like how y'all used to say I apologize, and be like, sorry, it, first of all, my apologies.
[00:17:47] J. Aundrea: Don't sound
[00:17:48] Bruce Anthony: Oh, your apologies are absolute what? I, you know what? You just apologized recently. On
[00:17:53] J. Aundrea: like literally two seconds
[00:17:55] Bruce Anthony: now. It was longer than two seconds
[00:17:57] J. Aundrea: well, two minutes ago.
[00:17:58] Bruce Anthony: Uh, it was about four or five minutes [00:18:00] ago, but one, that's me being literal again. But when we were younger.
[00:18:04] Bruce Anthony: it used to be like, Jay, you did this, and you would be like, sorry.
[00:18:07] J. Aundrea: Yeah,
[00:18:08] Bruce Anthony: you was like,
[00:18:09] Bruce Anthony: that's genuine. I was like, that
[00:18:11] J. Aundrea: It was genuine. But the way my voice sounds when I say, sorry, it sounds like I'm not being genuine, but that's just my voice.
[00:18:20] J. Aundrea: so,
[00:18:20] J. Aundrea: it's something about your
[00:18:21] J. Aundrea: voice. When you say words, I'm like, Hmm.
[00:18:25] Bruce Anthony: So you're
[00:18:26] J. Aundrea: Don't sound right.
[00:18:27] Bruce Anthony: you're saying that my [00:18:30] voice makes me, if your voice makes you come off as a jerk, my voice makes me come off as dumb. That's what you basically said. 'cause you're saying, well, that word don't sound right. So you are saying that my voice, it don't seem like something that's, that intelligence should come outta that voice.
[00:18:47] Bruce Anthony: That's basically what you saying.
[00:18:49] J. Aundrea: Well, that's what you said. Um, and
[00:18:51] J. Aundrea: you can draw whatever conclusions you wanna draw.
[00:18:54] Bruce Anthony: what what you, what you said is, what I say doesn't seem right [00:19:00] because of my voice. You saying that what I said in the context of what? Of what? I say things. It's like, it don't seem,
[00:19:08] Bruce Anthony: it
[00:19:08] Bruce Anthony: don't seem like that's the way it should be. I, now that I got the definition, Bruce, you right. However, it don't seem right coming from you.
[00:19:18] Bruce Anthony: Yes. Yeah. So you are, you're calling me and my voice stupid. That's what you face. this
[00:19:24] Bruce Anthony: is ladies and gentlemen.
[00:19:25] J. Aundrea: I'm not calling you stupid because we both know that you're not stupid.
[00:19:29] J. Aundrea: I'm [00:19:30] saying you sound dumb.
[00:19:37] Bruce Anthony: You know what? There are thousands of people that listen and watch this podcast that don't feel that way.
[00:19:43] J. Aundrea: And also people. I'm joking,
[00:19:46] Bruce Anthony: No. No, she's not. This has been a reoccurring theme in the family since we were kids.
[00:19:50] J. Aundrea: have never said, your voice sounds dumb. I've
[00:19:53] J. Aundrea: never said that to you in life.
[00:19:55] Bruce Anthony: and our brother. used to be like, oh, Bruce, don't worry about it. Why don't you go have some graham crackers or something? Y'all [00:20:00] always used to say that stuff back in the day. I was like, wait a minute.
[00:20:03] Bruce Anthony: I'm smarter. I'm smarter right now. At this moment. I'm smarter than you
[00:20:07] J. Aundrea: you guys.
[00:20:08] J. Aundrea: Well, the point was you would call yourself the dumb one. We didn't do
[00:20:12] Bruce Anthony: Oh, in the grand scheme of things, at our age level, yes. I was the dumb one. Y'all was both in gifted classes. Like in second grade. I was in remedial until I was in fourth.
[00:20:28] J. Aundrea: first of all, in high [00:20:30] school I was in remedial class.
[00:20:33] Bruce Anthony: It was remedial math. 'cause your ass is not good in
[00:20:35] J. Aundrea: it, not at all. I, I could not pass algebra. They had me in the,
[00:20:40] J. Aundrea: in the class.
[00:20:42] Bruce Anthony: I passed that in eighth grade.
[00:20:45] J. Aundrea: couldn't pass it. I had, I had summer school. Everything could not pass Algebra I finally did after they put me in the remedial class. So it's like you have the algebra class and then your next class explains what you just learned [00:21:00] in that first class.
[00:21:01] J. Aundrea: So that's, that's what my schedule was.
[00:21:05] Bruce Anthony: No, but you were still in gifted and talented in other classes. You just wasn't good in math.
[00:21:11] J. Aundrea: Yeah. But my grades were bad 'cause I had a DHD and I didn't know.
[00:21:15] Bruce Anthony: Well then, then well, okay. Yeah, and it didn't help that you just figured your senior year was I, Hey, I got half days. I'll just do what I want to
[00:21:23] J. Aundrea: Yeah, I pretty much was just living life. No, but I was still on the, I was still on the honor roll though. 'cause there, there's no way Mom and [00:21:30] Dad would've let me get away with that attendance if I wasn't bringing home good grades. Yeah,
[00:21:34] Bruce Anthony: Yeah. Well, that's true. You ain't have to work real hard. But ladies and gentlemen, this is a, y'all, y'all just got a good sneak peek in our dynamic from, from the beginning,
[00:21:42] Bruce Anthony: from all our lives. Bruce, what you saying doesn't sound right. Then come to find out I'm right.
[00:21:47] J. Aundrea: yeah. Admit, right. It just, you know,
[00:21:51] Bruce Anthony: Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I got a, I got a dumb sounding voice on that note.
[00:21:58] J. Aundrea: I am kidding. Ladies and gentlemen, [00:22:00] please don't, don't at me. I'm kidding.
[00:22:02] Bruce Anthony: No, she's not. She's a jerk. For real.
[00:22:04] J. Aundrea: no, I'm not a jerk. For real. I think I'm a very not. Not unpleasant person.
[00:22:17] Bruce Anthony: All right. We didn't gone on too long in this Dly down there was just supposed to be a little bit, and then it became an attack on me for sounding dumb. But on that note, ladies and gentlemen, I wanna warn you that the next segment is parental [00:22:30] discretion. It needs to be advised here. This is gonna be a very, very tough subject to talk about.
[00:22:36] Bruce Anthony: It's gonna be a very graphic subject to talk about. If your kids are around and you're not a bad parent, then put your kids away. 'cause you, you would be a bad parent if you let your kids listen to this. Uh,
[00:22:48] Bruce Anthony: well,
[00:22:50] Bruce Anthony: I'm not gonna judge you. Maybe, you know, you are doing new generation parenting and opening your kids to minds.
[00:22:56] Bruce Anthony: I don't know that what I just said sounded stupid. So on that note, [00:23:00] I'm gonna end this segment.
[00:23:01] J. Aundrea: I'm gonna issue a trigger warning to
[00:23:03] J. Aundrea: anyone who is, uh, triggered by discussion of, uh, domestic violence and sexual abuse.
[00:23:12]
[00:23:19] Bruce Anthony: All Right, ladies and gentlemen, we've talked about Shannon Sharp on this podcast before, when he had the Kat Williams interview that blew up his podcast club Shehe, [00:23:30] when he had Monique on there. We, we talked about that. He's a former football player, super Bowl champion. He is on, uh, first take. He's got his own podcast, several different podcasts.
[00:23:41] Bruce Anthony: He's about to sign a hundred million podcast deal. I mean, the brother is rolling in it. Just as he's about to sign this deal. News break. What was the news about? This prominent commentator has been sued in Clark County,
[00:23:58] Shannon Sharp Scandal: Allegations & Shockwaves 📣⚖️
[00:23:58] Bruce Anthony: Nevada by a woman identified as [00:24:00] Jane Doe. Her name has actually come out. We're not gonna talk about what her name is.
[00:24:04] Bruce Anthony: You wanna look it up and you wanna look up some of these graphic details. You can't. We're gonna talk about the overall themes and not get really, really into the details. But Jane Doe filed a lawsuit in April, 2025 this month and accuses sharp of rape, sexual assault, battery, and inflicting emotional distress during a nearly two year relationship.
[00:24:25] Bruce Anthony: The plaintiff is seeking over $50 million in damages. The plaintiff [00:24:30] alleges that she met Sharp at a Los Angeles gym in early 2023 when she was either 19 or 20 years old. At that time, Shannon Sharp was 53, 54, 55, around that age, the relationship began. Consent began as consensual, but allegedly became manipulative, controlling, and abusive over time.
[00:24:49] Bruce Anthony: The lawsuit claims sharp raped the woman in October, 2024, and again in January, 2025, both in Los Angeles. She alleges sharp, used physical violence [00:25:00] including choking and hitting her and threatened to kill her if she resisted his sexual advances or confronted him about infidelity. The complainant also states sharp, recorded their sexual encounters without her consent and access her apartment complex without permission.
[00:25:15] Bruce Anthony: The plaintiff claims to have suffer significant emotional, mental, and psychological harm as a result of Sharp's alleged accusations. She's represented by Tony Bugsby and everybody knows Tony Busby because he is [00:25:30] handling the high profile sexual mis conduct cases of Deshaun Watson
[00:25:34] J. Aundrea: and
[00:25:35] Bruce Anthony: p
[00:25:35] Bruce Anthony: Diddy. Sharp is represented by attorney La La Lenny j Davis, who has given him all horrible advice. I'll get into that in a minute. Who has publicly denied the allegations describing in lawsuit as a blatant and cynical attempt to shake down sharp for money. Sharp has alle addressed the allegations of social media, media labeling the lawsuit of shakedown and vowing to fight the claims in court.[00:26:00]
[00:26:00] Bruce Anthony: His attorney released text messages between Sharp and the plaintiff to support the claim that the relationship was consensual and included adult role playing and fan fantasy scenarios initiated by the plaintiff. It's, it's received widespread coverage because Shannon Sharp and the lawyer have both come out and made, statements as well as Tony Bugsby.
[00:26:23] Bruce Anthony: The lawsuit is civil, not criminal. Seeks both compensatory and punitive damages exceeding over 50 [00:26:30] million for physical emotion and repu reputational harm. Oh, reputational harm, excuse me. As of now, there's no public record of a criminal investigation or charges related to these allegations.
[00:26:42] J. Aundrea: Yep.
[00:26:43] Bruce Anthony: So there's more to this story.
[00:26:47] Bruce Anthony: And, and Jay, you don't, you didn't get a chance to really get into the minutiae because of the story, because you've been, did I use that word right, minutiae? Do you wanna question that or did that sound, did that sound like it wasn't right? Because I know [00:27:00] I used the right.
[00:27:02] J. Aundrea: I'm never gonna hear the end of
[00:27:03] Bruce Anthony: Never again. But I know you haven't really been able to get into the details. So the details are Sharp's lawyers release text
[00:27:11] J. Aundrea: Message.
[00:27:11] Bruce Anthony: where it's very graphic
[00:27:13] J. Aundrea: Mm-hmm.
[00:27:14] Bruce Anthony: that the plaintiff Jane Doe is saying, you know, very graphic things that she wants him to do with her. They have released audio record recordings that Sharp is saying is edited where he says, I'm gonna choke the shit outta you.
[00:27:28] Bruce Anthony: cause she's, she's
[00:27:29] Bruce Anthony: pissing him [00:27:30] off
[00:27:31] Bruce Anthony: and, and she was like, well, I don't wanna be choked. And he was like, well, yeah, yeah, you do. You wanna be choked. And there are text messages where there was a sexual encounter and, and she text him, I don't know how I feel about this. I asked you to use a condom and I asked you not to put it there.
[00:27:46] Bruce Anthony: Ladies and gentlemen, y'all read up on text messages. I'm not gonna get into that. It is too graphic. And we try to be somewhat of a journalistic type show even though we get messy,
[00:27:56] J. Aundrea: Yeah,
[00:27:57] Bruce Anthony: what I could say,
[00:27:59] Bruce Anthony: because [00:28:00] I can't speak to his innocence or guilt, I wasn't there.
[00:28:03] J. Aundrea: Yes.
[00:28:04] Bruce Anthony: What I can say is is all a bad luck,
[00:28:08] J. Aundrea: yeah. Yeah. And I haven't gotten into you, you said that there was, some bad advice given by the DEF defense attorney.
[00:28:21] J. Aundrea: So I haven't I'm interested to see what that is, but I did see his vehement denial,
[00:28:28] Bruce Anthony: that was the bad advice. The [00:28:30] way that he denied it. And if you watch it, it is just like, oh, bro, like you shouldn't, you shouldn't have done that.
[00:28:35] Accusations in the Spotlight: Public Perception & Drama 🚨
[00:28:35] Bruce Anthony: Like deny it. But, but I mean, I guess in a way, if you didn't do it, I know if I was being accused of something like this and, and ladies and gentlemen, I would never do anything like this.
[00:28:47] Bruce Anthony: If I was being accused of something like this, I would scream to the top of my lungs, I ain't do this shit. I didn't do it. Like I get that aspect of it. But the way it comes off and them releasing the text messages between her, [00:29:00] like if it's gonna be a civil case, let it play out in court. Don't bring it to the public attention, it makes it look bad.
[00:29:07] Bruce Anthony: And he already looks bad because you can't dispute the fact that he got kinks and look. Got kinks. Cool. You
[00:29:15] J. Aundrea: You know what I'm saying?
[00:29:15] J. Aundrea: Yeah. If, if, if, it's consensual, then there's no problem.
[00:29:21] Bruce Anthony: There's no problem. What's, what's what's bad to me is I was talking to a friend of mine yesterday and like I [00:29:30] said, ladies, gentlemen, we gonna get graphic.
[00:29:31] Bruce Anthony: I was talking to a friend of mine yesterday and I said, I have never made a good decision when my dick has made the decision.
[00:29:41] Bruce Anthony: It's, it's, there has never been, not
[00:29:44] J. Aundrea: one
[00:29:44] Bruce Anthony: decision that my dick has
[00:29:46] J. Aundrea: made Yeah.
[00:29:47] Bruce Anthony: one.
[00:29:48] J. Aundrea: Yeah.
[00:29:50] J. Aundrea: Well,
[00:29:50] Age-Gap Affairs: Love, Power & Perception 💑⏳
[00:29:50] J. Aundrea: I,
[00:29:51] J. Aundrea: yes.
[00:29:51] Bruce Anthony: I, am about to be 45 years
[00:29:53] Bruce Anthony: old and I was talking to a friend this morning 'cause we were talking about the Shannon Sharp thing and I was like, [00:30:00] 35 years old is my youngest that I could date.
[00:30:03] J. Aundrea: Okay.
[00:30:04] J. Aundrea: after that it
[00:30:05] Bruce Anthony: real spooky.
[00:30:06] Bruce Anthony: Right. This man is in his mid fifties. She was 19. And
[00:30:11] Bruce Anthony: if you
[00:30:11] Bruce Anthony: look at pictures of
[00:30:12] J. Aundrea: of her,
[00:30:13] Bruce Anthony: she
[00:30:14] J. Aundrea: she looks
[00:30:14] J. Aundrea: like a little girl.
[00:30:16] J. Aundrea: Yeah. And as far as I know, like this relationship was two years ago,
[00:30:25] Bruce Anthony: No, it started in 2023, but they were still
[00:30:27] J. Aundrea: they still carry it on
[00:30:28] Bruce Anthony: in [00:30:30] January.
[00:30:30] J. Aundrea: Right. So my point is he was quite old
[00:30:34] Bruce Anthony: Yeah.
[00:30:35] J. Aundrea: in comparison to her.
[00:30:37] J. Aundrea: So it's kind of one of those things of like, what is a 19-year-old? He was like, what? 54? 53. 54 at the
[00:30:46] J. Aundrea: time. Like what? Okay. Um
[00:30:52] Bruce Anthony: And my thing is this too.
[00:30:53] Consent vs. Kinks: Where’s the Line? 🔐
[00:30:53] Bruce Anthony: My man is rich, right? He got bred 'cause he is all over the pre scout about to sign a hundred million dollar deal for his podcast. [00:31:00] And that's just one of his jobs.
[00:31:01] Bruce Anthony: Right?
[00:31:02] Bruce Anthony: Whatever
[00:31:03] Bruce Anthony: happened
[00:31:04] Bruce Anthony: to getting yourself
[00:31:05] Bruce Anthony: a call
[00:31:05] Bruce Anthony: girl or getting an s escort service if you got kink?
[00:31:10] J. Aundrea: You know, They got
[00:31:10] Bruce Anthony: had one of
[00:31:11] Bruce Anthony: my female friends, and I don't know why she asked me, one of my female friends said, Hey, I gotta ask you something. Can I call you? And I was like, look, anytime you call me, I know it's some bullshit, but okay, gimme a call. And she called me and she was like, Hey, do you know of like any BS [00:31:30] or BDSM or Domina groups that I could join?
[00:31:34] Bruce Anthony: And I said, would you think
[00:31:37] Bruce Anthony: that I would
[00:31:37] Bruce Anthony: have that information?
[00:31:41] Bruce Anthony: Like,
[00:31:42] J. Aundrea: She said, she said, Hey, you look like the
[00:31:44] Bruce Anthony: no. I was like, why do you think I would've had that type of information? Like, no, I don't. She was like, oh, 'cause I know you like interview
[00:31:50] Bruce Anthony: sex workers and stuff
[00:31:51] Bruce Anthony: like
[00:31:51] J. Aundrea: like
[00:31:51] J. Aundrea: that.
[00:31:51] J. Aundrea: Oh, okay.
[00:31:52] Bruce Anthony: was like, uh,
[00:31:53] J. Aundrea: that might be, yeah. For you,
[00:31:55] J. Aundrea: you, you might have friends in the biz and you [00:32:00] know, can make some calls and figure out some
[00:32:03] Bruce Anthony: I was like, no, I, I I can't help you. And I was like, um, we.
[00:32:08] J. Aundrea: Might be able to though.
[00:32:10] Bruce Anthony: Uh, could I make some calls? Yeah. I don't want many those uncomfortable calls. I'm not gonna do that. That's not my relationship with those people. And that would make it weird in that aspect. And I was just like, yo, we're in our forties. Isn't it a little late in the game to be getting into this?
[00:32:24] Bruce Anthony: Like,
[00:32:25] J. Aundrea: this is, like, this is something that,
[00:32:26] Bruce Anthony: try when you was younger.
[00:32:28] J. Aundrea: no, I don't, there's never, it is [00:32:30] never too late to explore, uh, your, your sexual side. I don't, I don't think we should put an age on that.
[00:32:37] J. Aundrea: And as long, and again, as long as things are consensual,
[00:32:41] J. Aundrea: you know, like there's really no, there's really no problem.
[00:32:45] J. Aundrea: And you're right, there are sex workers who, you know, specialize in certain kinks. Like, and it's Las Vegas, I'm sure.
[00:32:55] Bruce Anthony: right. It's, It's, it's, legal there in certain parts of Vegas. Why didn't he [00:33:00] just go so he gets in a relationship with this 19-year-old?
[00:33:04] J. Aundrea: Right. Which is already like, okay, sir.
[00:33:07] Bruce Anthony: And I tend to believe her when she says certain aspects about feeling manipulated and bullied because he's a hulking
[00:33:20] J. Aundrea: of a man.
[00:33:20] Bruce Anthony: one,
[00:33:21] J. Aundrea: Yeah. Very la It is a large man.
[00:33:23] Bruce Anthony: a large man. He's older, he has all
[00:33:26] Bruce Anthony: the
[00:33:26] Bruce Anthony: money
[00:33:28] J. Aundrea: and fame
[00:33:29] J. Aundrea: and the, [00:33:30] and when you add money plus fame, it equals power.
[00:33:34] Bruce Anthony: dictating how
[00:33:35] Bruce Anthony: the
[00:33:35] Bruce Anthony: relationship goes.
[00:33:37] Bruce Anthony: And I'll never forget my friend explaining to me how sometimes she was in situations where she would just go along with situations like in a man's home or something like that. 'cause she never knew how the man was gonna react. Now just imagine that man is six foot 4, 260 pounds and shredded, and a former all Pro [00:34:00] Hall of Fame football player.
[00:34:02] J. Aundrea: yeah.
[00:34:03] Bruce Anthony: Tony Busby got some ish about him too. He's always around these cases
[00:34:09] J. Aundrea: Mm-hmm.
[00:34:10] Legal Lens: Suits, Settlements & Strategy ⚖️📜
[00:34:10] Bruce Anthony: and it always seems like he's trying to get money because my thing is, if it happened in January, 2025 and you're suing him civilly, shouldn't
[00:34:20] J. Aundrea: there
[00:34:20] J. Aundrea: also
[00:34:21] Bruce Anthony: case as well?
[00:34:23] J. Aundrea: yeah, it, it, it kind of because I, I mean, I don't know the statute of limitations in Las [00:34:30] Vegas
[00:34:30] Bruce Anthony: years?
[00:34:31] J. Aundrea: for assault. For a sexual assault. Yeah. So, I'm con I, I'm confused why there isn't a criminal case. If you've got the evidence to present during discovery, that that would prove your case. I, I don't know why you wouldn't file criminal charges also because I would want, not just for him to pay financially, but if these allegations are in fact [00:35:00] true, and, and they have the evidence to prove it, I mean, I would want him to be held responsible criminally. Um, but again, I mean, it's, it's up to Jane Doe whether, you know, whether she wants to file those charges. According to Busby, sharp offered her 10 million to settle her case, [00:35:30] which she rejected.
[00:35:31] Bruce Anthony: Yeah, so there's been, I I, I was watching an interview with a lawyer because a lot of people have said, well, I mean, he offered 10 million, so that means he off, he automatically did it. And there's a, there's an a formula for paying settlements, something like that. It's the, the lawyers could come to Sharp and say, look, there's a 10% chance that you're gonna lose this case.
[00:35:54] Bruce Anthony: Okay. 10% chance. So what's 10% of fif of 50 [00:36:00] million? That'd be 5 million.
[00:36:01] Bruce Anthony: Right?
[00:36:02] J. Aundrea: Yeah.
[00:36:03] Bruce Anthony: Not including lawyer fees, which are automatically gonna be around $8 million for a case like
[00:36:08] Bruce Anthony: this. Right? So you offer offer to settle if you go to trial, right? $8 million if you go to trial. So you offer to settle for
[00:36:16] J. Aundrea: million
[00:36:16] Bruce Anthony: you know, at the very least there's a high probability that you're gonna be out 13 million.
[00:36:23] J. Aundrea: Yeah.
[00:36:23] Bruce Anthony: the 10 million upfront so that you up 3 million. So just [00:36:30] because he was willing to settle for $10 million, which is a lot of money, by the
[00:36:34] Bruce Anthony: way, that, you know, doesn't mean that that's, that he's acknowledging guilt.
[00:36:40] J. Aundrea: Yeah. It likely the stipulation would be this, you know, there would be some sort of language in there where this is not an admission of guilt,
[00:36:49] J. Aundrea: you know, it's just, you know, if he can avoid the bad, he seems very, open to [00:37:00] releasing whatever he needs to release to prove that he is not, to pro to prove that these allegations are false. So, but in, or, but you know, you want to avoid such a public, you know, view of like very private situations.
[00:37:25] J. Aundrea: Um, I don't, I don't know. 'cause this is also the same dude [00:37:30] that went live by quote unquote accident.
[00:37:33] J. Aundrea: Even though it's very difficult to just go live, like there are several buttons you have to push.
[00:37:40] J. Aundrea: You don't, just, you, it is not like a butt dial. Like you can't just go live by accident. You
[00:37:46] Bruce Anthony: time out. A butt dial while he's having sex. Come on now, that pun was intended.
[00:37:52] J. Aundrea: I mean, it wasn't, but if it's there, have at
[00:37:57] Bruce Anthony: He is also a spokesman [00:38:00] for one of those male enhancement pills. It's not, uh, blue Chew is, uh, real or
[00:38:06] Bruce Anthony: something like that. Like he's a huge spokesman for that.
[00:38:09] J. Aundrea: mm-hmm.
[00:38:10] J. Aundrea: What
[00:38:11] J. Aundrea: also
[00:38:11] J. Aundrea: needs to be talked about there
[00:38:12] Bruce Anthony: a
[00:38:13] Bruce Anthony: video recording
[00:38:14] J. Aundrea: mm-hmm.
[00:38:16] Bruce Anthony: of what the plaintiff
[00:38:20] Bruce Anthony: says
[00:38:21] Bruce Anthony: is the
[00:38:21] Bruce Anthony: sexual
[00:38:21] Bruce Anthony: assault.
[00:38:22] J. Aundrea: Yeah.
[00:38:24] Bruce Anthony: He's
[00:38:24] Bruce Anthony: come
[00:38:25] Bruce Anthony: out
[00:38:25] Bruce Anthony: and said, and they offered to show in, in, in the settlement [00:38:30] agreement when they were mediating.
[00:38:31] Bruce Anthony: They offered to show the video
[00:38:34] Bruce Anthony: and he denied to look at the video. They're, they're claiming that the video is heavily, heavily edited. And I was like, how is it heavily edited if you haven't even looked at it? That's, doesn't make any sense to me. And that they were roleplaying and that doesn't mean that it was sexual assault.
[00:38:51] Bruce Anthony: Now all those things could be true. At the very least. Once again, I will say this is a bad look.
[00:38:58] J. Aundrea: yeah. [00:39:00] It's
[00:39:00] Bruce Anthony: There is nothing good that could come from any of this. And it seems like he keeps putting himself into these stupid
[00:39:08] J. Aundrea: situations.
[00:39:09] J. Aundrea: Yeah. That's another, that's, uh, you know, yeah. I was just joking about you earlier, but Shannon Sharp is a person where it actually, his voice does sound dumb.
[00:39:21] J. Aundrea: But it seems to be, it, it seems to be lining up with his, his common sense as [00:39:30] well. It, it seems to be sorely lacking. I mean, I just, I, I, I, I hope for his sake that, uh. Uh, and for this young lady's sake, these allegations are actually not true. That's what I hope. But, either way this is gonna get even messier because it feels to me like, uh, Shannon Sharp is willing to do and [00:40:00] put out and post anything, to, to get out from under this. And so it's JI mean, a lot of these deals and stuff, he's gonna have to kiss goodbye because just, just the fact that your private detail, like your private business and the private things that you're into, you know, come out, it's, it's hard to get advertising [00:40:30] dollars
[00:40:31] Bruce Anthony: I
[00:40:31] Bruce Anthony: would say,
[00:40:32] J. Aundrea: like that.
[00:40:32] Bruce Anthony: I would say maybe, but he's already done it. He's a Disney employee.
[00:40:38] Bruce Anthony: He works for E-S-P-N-E-S-P-N is owned by Disney. He had that accidental sex live thing on Instagram, and there was no heat or backlash. He got a, he got a deal with the mail enhancement, so I'm thinking if he beats this, this doesn't do any damage to his [00:41:00] marketability because he'll just market himself as a, uh, what is it?
[00:41:04] Bruce Anthony: Vero? Vero, is that the right word? Vero, almost 60-year-old because he is almost 60-year-old, years old. I think he's 56, 57. A very old 60-year-old man that's just loving life
[00:41:18] J. Aundrea: Yeah. Is isn't that, isn't that double standard just
[00:41:26] Bruce Anthony: Yeah, because you know who got backlash speak. [00:41:30] Speaking of that, you know who got backlash for saying that she likes to date younger men?
[00:41:35] J. Aundrea: Tracy Ellis
[00:41:36] J. Aundrea: Ross. Yes.
[00:41:37] J. Aundrea: Yeah. Yes.
[00:41:38] J. Aundrea: And I, even though I 100% agree with her, she's not talking about she wants to date 18 year olds. Y'all, first of all, relax. But yeah, uh, she's 52. The men her age, the men my age, a lot of them, the, the masculinity is toxic. And so [00:42:00] a a and you don't wanna deal with it, but, but a lot of these younger guys, don't have that hangup.
[00:42:08] J. Aundrea: They're used to seeing successful women, and they're, they're used to seeing successful black women. I mean, they grew up with, uh, their first lady being Michelle Obama,
[00:42:18] J. Aundrea: you know, so, so that the, uh, black women's success, or women's success in general doesn't. [00:42:30] doesn't scare away these younger guys.
[00:42:32] Bruce Anthony: Wow. I just now thought about that. If you took somebody who was 10 years younger than me, so a man that's 34 years old, that means he was 18 years old with Michelle Obama. Excuse me. I don't even know what happened. Started getting a
[00:42:45] Bruce Anthony: little,
[00:42:46] J. Aundrea: voice went out there a
[00:42:47] Bruce Anthony: my voice went out there. Maybe I'm not so maybe 'cause it's my subconscious is trying to not sound stupid Uh,
[00:42:54] J. Aundrea: Oh Lord. Ladies and gentlemen, be prepared to hear about this for another three or four episodes.[00:43:00]
[00:43:02] Bruce Anthony: I will beat a dead horse. I will beat a dead horse. But no, and when you think about it that, that man was 18 years old seeing Michelle Obama as a First Lady. But, uh, you would think that I would, that men are my age would also have that type of. Reverence we saw Hillary Clinton.
[00:43:22] J. Aundrea: No.
[00:43:27] Bruce Anthony: Okay.
[00:43:29] J. Aundrea: I mean, [00:43:30] that's, that's, I, I, I would love to elaborate, but the answer is just
[00:43:35] Bruce Anthony: Nah,
[00:43:36] J. Aundrea: think so?
[00:43:37] Bruce Anthony: you
[00:43:37] Bruce Anthony: would think
[00:43:38] Bruce Anthony: so.
[00:43:38] Bruce Anthony: Yeah,
[00:43:39] J. Aundrea: nah.
[00:43:40] Bruce Anthony: because I saw Hillary Clinton. Well, no, 'cause I was toxic as well. I didn't stop being toxic till I was years old. Anyway,
[00:43:49] Bruce Anthony: ladies and gentlemen, this, don't this. I mean, once again, like I said at the beginning, I have never made a good decision when my dick was making the decision,
[00:43:58] Bruce Anthony: sorry people for being so [00:44:00] graphic, but I just, I just haven't, men don't make good decisions when that part of our body is making the decision.
[00:44:05] Bruce Anthony: And it was clear they met in a gym and she described it, uh, as he was persistently hollering. And I was just like, bro, like you, Shannon Sharp. Even though she is an OnlyFans girl, ain't no woman that bad that I'm going ain't. Look, I'm regular old Bruce. I don't persistently bother anybody and I ain't even Shannon Sharp got money like that.[00:44:30]
[00:44:30] Bruce Anthony: I don't understand if you, Shannon Sharp got
[00:44:32] Bruce Anthony: money
[00:44:32] Bruce Anthony: like that. Why you need to persistently bother a 19-year-old,
[00:44:35] J. Aundrea: Right.
[00:44:37] Bruce Anthony: just dumb decision at. He put himself if
[00:44:40] Bruce Anthony: this
[00:44:41] Bruce Anthony: is not
[00:44:41] Bruce Anthony: true
[00:44:42] Bruce Anthony: and he didn't do this, which is a if for me, he put himself in this position from his dumb ass decision making.
[00:44:53] J. Aundrea: Yeah.
[00:44:55] Bruce Anthony: There was not one smart
[00:44:56] Bruce Anthony: decision
[00:44:57] J. Aundrea: that he
[00:44:57] J. Aundrea: made
[00:44:58] Bruce Anthony: this entire process.[00:45:00]
[00:45:00] J. Aundrea: No.
[00:45:01] Bruce Anthony: Not one
[00:45:02] J. Aundrea: No. And um, I mean, you know, if he, if, if, if these allegations are not true, he will be the victim in this situation, so I don't want to victim blame.
[00:45:18] Bruce Anthony: No, I'm a victim Blame on this one. 'cause even if he is a victim, he put himself in this position.
[00:45:22] J. Aundrea: But, you know, you gotta, boy, you just gotta, if, if, if it [00:45:30] was a situation where he thought their role playing, but, you know, she somewhere along the way was no longer into it. Like, there should have, typically there are,
[00:45:44] J. Aundrea: you know, protections in place, safe words and things like that. And, and it's like an ongoing conversation, ensuring like, do I have consent?
[00:45:55] J. Aundrea: Are we both still on the same page with this? Like, are we [00:46:00] both still enjoying this and getting, you know, equal enjoyment out, out of whatever we're doing? Because if, if the, if, if her mind changed somewhere along the way and she felt like she couldn't because of who he was. You know, say something or assert herself or some, I mean, it is a tough, it's a tough situation.
[00:46:27] Bruce Anthony: At the one text [00:46:30] message that I keep going back to is they had, they did what they did and she texted him and she said, I told you I wanted you to wear a condom
[00:46:40] Bruce Anthony: and you didn't wear a condom, and I told you I didn't want you to put it there and you put it there. I don't know how I feel about this. I don't know how I feel those, those type of buzzwords.
[00:46:51] Bruce Anthony: I've heard those buzzwords before.
[00:46:53] J. Aundrea: Mm-hmm.
[00:46:54] Bruce Anthony: Like you're just like, I don't know what happened. I don't know how I feel about this. I've heard that before. And that's [00:47:00] always, that's not a woman
[00:47:01] Bruce Anthony: who,
[00:47:02] J. Aundrea: re not directed towards
[00:47:04] Bruce Anthony: no, no, not directed to me. I think I've told the story before where I worked, crisis Hotline in University of Maryland for like a short period of time 'cause I couldn't deal with it.
[00:47:15] Bruce Anthony: 'cause I realized that the stories of sexual assault that we were reporting in the newspaper
[00:47:20] Bruce Anthony: were not nearly what
[00:47:21] Bruce Anthony: was
[00:47:21] Bruce Anthony: happening
[00:47:21] Bruce Anthony: on campus. Um, so
[00:47:23] Bruce Anthony: that's,
[00:47:24] Bruce Anthony: yeah. So I've heard it through counselor and from my female friends. I know [00:47:30] certain words and phrases that
[00:47:32] Bruce Anthony: they use where it was like, oh, you're unsure about this 'cause you didn't really give consent, but this happened.
[00:47:40] Bruce Anthony: You don't know how to feel about this,
[00:47:42] J. Aundrea: Right.
[00:47:43] Bruce Anthony: if this is true, that she blatantly said, Hey, yo, I told, like I told you to wear a condom. Like I told you I didn't wanna do that
[00:47:50] Bruce Anthony: and you did it anyway. That isn't another loan is sexual misconduct. And the fact
[00:47:55] J. Aundrea: that
[00:47:55] Bruce Anthony: this was sent through a
[00:47:56] Bruce Anthony: text
[00:47:57] Bruce Anthony: message
[00:47:58] Bruce Anthony: and
[00:47:58] Bruce Anthony: he didn't
[00:47:58] Bruce Anthony: respond back, yo, what
[00:47:59] Bruce Anthony: are you [00:48:00] talking
[00:48:00] Bruce Anthony: about?
[00:48:00] J. Aundrea: yeah.
[00:48:01] Bruce Anthony: Like, what are you talking about? Like, where is this come from? And he just didn't say anything. This don't look good. But then again, you know, I, I tend to believe unfortunately, that Shannon Sharp is just not too bright. So maybe he don't know how to respond to these type of situations.
[00:48:19] J. Aundrea: Or, you know, it could have been a situation where she sent it. And, and I mean, we don't know. We
[00:48:27] J. Aundrea: just, We just don't, know.
[00:48:29] J. Aundrea: You know, [00:48:30] I, it is very, very tough, very tough situation. But, you know, I, my first instinct is always to believe the victim.
[00:48:42] J. Aundrea: Um, uh, I know that people are innocent and so proven guilty, but I, I will give the victim the benefit of the, of the doubt.
[00:48:51] J. Aundrea: And if she is pursuing this after receiving an offer to settle and, and is, is saying, [00:49:00] no, I wanna pursue this case, then we just gotta let it play out in court and see. If she could prove her case or he can prove his, and see what happens. But, my first instinct is always to believe the victim.
[00:49:16] Bruce Anthony: yeah. Um, this is gonna get settled outta court. She didn't take the 10 million. She, they offer 10. She's going at 50. They'll meet somewhere in the middle. Probably be about 25 million,
[00:49:26] J. Aundrea: Yeah. I don't know that. Or, you know, I, [00:49:30] I, I, I see his, his dander is up, so I don't know if he, he might wanna push it.
[00:49:35] Bruce Anthony: and it is a hundred million dollars on the table. I wouldn't push it. I
[00:49:39] Bruce Anthony: wouldn't, I mean, if I knew, if I knew that some of my kinks were gonna be so explicit. 'cause it seems like some of his kinks are real explicit that they were gonna be so explicit that they were truly, even though I've been modeled as this, I'm the on that's still getting it in, that could damage my [00:50:00] brand and I could potentially lose part of that.
[00:50:02] Bruce Anthony: A hundred million, 75 million is a
[00:50:05] Bruce Anthony: whole
[00:50:05] Bruce Anthony: lot better than whatever few 10 million that he got.
[00:50:10] J. Aundrea: Yeah.
[00:50:10] Bruce Anthony: I, I would, I think this is gonna get settled, but I think this is also, I think this is a very similar case to Kobe Bryant, where I wanna give the benefit of the doubt to him and to her and think, and think that this is, this is a wrong choice of words.
[00:50:29] Bruce Anthony: Ladies and gentlemen. I wish I [00:50:30] had better words. A really mis unfortunate misunderstanding and lack of communication of what was going on. That's what I'm thinking it is. I don't think he's one of these, I'm gonna take it, type dudes. I just don't he is, but hell, you know what?
[00:50:45] J. Aundrea: You
[00:50:46] J. Aundrea: never
[00:50:46] J. Aundrea: know.
[00:50:46] J. Aundrea: You never know.
[00:50:47] J. Aundrea: I mean, honestly, well, I'm sure other pe not me, but I'm sure other people, uh, were extremely surprised when that video of Diddy came out. [00:51:00] In that, in that hotel
[00:51:01] J. Aundrea: hallway.
[00:51:03] J. Aundrea: Yeah.
[00:51:03] Bruce Anthony: about that video. I
[00:51:04] Bruce Anthony: didn't think that, that, I didn't think
[00:51:06] Bruce Anthony: I, yeah,
[00:51:07] J. Aundrea: You never know what people are capable
[00:51:09] J. Aundrea: of. We just never know.
[00:51:10] J. Aundrea: And, um, I feel like we're in a time and space now where people are feeling more, they're, they're getting their courage up as far as coming forward against powerful people because they're seeing other people be [00:51:30] successful in, in outing these people and and getting some form of justice, whether it be criminal or civil.
[00:51:38] J. Aundrea: So I, I don't think it's gonna be the end of people coming forward and saying, no, these powerful people abuse their power
[00:51:48] Bruce Anthony: Yeah.
[00:51:48] J. Aundrea: really awful ways. So.
[00:51:52] Bruce Anthony: All right. You can bring the kids back in. We're gonna try to get some more funny stuff. Next,
[00:51:56]
[00:52:03] Bruce Anthony: jay, you've known me for a long time
[00:52:05] J. Aundrea: Yes. Uh, 40 years.
[00:52:07] Bruce Anthony: and have I ever had a poker face of what I'm
[00:52:10] J. Aundrea: Not ever. Not, never.
[00:52:15] Bruce Anthony: Not never.
[00:52:16] J. Aundrea: Yeah. If anybody watches us, watches the YouTube, as opposed to listening on your favorite social media platforms or whatnot,
[00:52:25] Bruce Anthony: It is audio platforms, not
[00:52:27] Bruce Anthony: social media platforms.
[00:52:28] J. Aundrea: the platforms, y'all, y'all [00:52:30] know what I'm talking about. Listen. Come on now.
[00:52:32] J. Aundrea: Y'all know what I'm talking about.
[00:52:33] Bruce Anthony: on. She got, she, she in the final
[00:52:35] Bruce Anthony: season.
[00:52:35] J. Aundrea: you watch, then you see neither one of us have a poker face.
[00:52:40] Bruce Anthony: No.
[00:52:40] J. Aundrea: No.
[00:52:41] Bruce Anthony: You know exactly what I'm thinking. I know exactly what you thinking. People around me know exactly what I'm thinking. I
[00:52:47] Bruce Anthony: have
[00:52:49] Bruce Anthony: the WTF lines on my forehead, the wrinkles on my forehead. 'cause I'm always scrunching up my face when somebody says something stupid. And it just so happens, it feels like people say stupid stuff all the [00:53:00] time.
[00:53:00] J. Aundrea: Yeah.
[00:53:02] Face Off: Can Your Expressions Betray You? 😶
[00:53:02] Bruce Anthony: So what does this mean? What does your face mean when it's. When you're not saying words, but the words are coming off in your face. So there's scientific support for the idea that people don't often reveal what they are thinking or feeling through their facial expressions, even when they try to hide it.
[00:53:21] Bruce Anthony: Facial expressions are a powerful form of nonverbal communication and convey emotions such as happiness, anger, anger, sadness, [00:53:30] fear, and more. And
[00:53:31] Bruce Anthony: that more is for me. Irritation?
[00:53:33] J. Aundrea: Yes.
[00:53:34] Bruce Anthony: Yes. Research by Dr. Paul Ekman has identified several universal facial expressions that are recognized across cultures suggesting that some aspects of fa racial, uh, uh, facial expressions are deeply rooted in human biology.
[00:53:50] J. Aundrea: Yeah.
[00:53:51] J. Aundrea: However
[00:53:52] Bruce Anthony: between racial expressions and true thoughts or feelings is complex. So there are d
[00:53:58] Bruce Anthony: what did I say?
[00:53:58] J. Aundrea: You keep saying [00:54:00] racial, but you, I know you see that as facial, but you how
[00:54:03] Bruce Anthony: I said, how many times? did I say
[00:54:04] Bruce Anthony: racial?
[00:54:05] J. Aundrea: like twice
[00:54:06] Bruce Anthony: My dyslexia is kicking in. I'm reading something ladies and gentlemen. And you know the reason why I
[00:54:12] J. Aundrea: I stop words
[00:54:13] J. Aundrea: is
[00:54:13] J. Aundrea: because
[00:54:14] Bruce Anthony: letters don't be mixing up. And I had to reform 'em in my head. It's called
[00:54:17] Bruce Anthony: dyslexia
[00:54:18] Bruce Anthony: laser.
[00:54:18] J. Aundrea: do mix up.
[00:54:20] Bruce Anthony: Exactly. See, this is, this is the reason why she says, I have a dumb sounding voice.
[00:54:25] Bruce Anthony: 'cause sometimes what I say is dumb as sound.[00:54:30]
[00:54:34] Bruce Anthony: Keep saying, keep saying racial instead of facial.
[00:54:37] Bruce Anthony: All right. There are things called micro expressions. These are very brief, involuntary facial expressions that occur when someone tries to conceal an emotion. Microexpressions can last less than a fifth of a second and may reveal true feelings even when a person is attempted to hide them.
[00:54:56] Bruce Anthony: For example, someone might flash a look of disgust or fear before [00:55:00] quickly masking it
[00:55:00] J. Aundrea: Different smile.
[00:55:01] J. Aundrea: Yeah.
[00:55:02] Bruce Anthony: That is me.
[00:55:03] J. Aundrea: Yeah.
[00:55:04] J. Aundrea: I, yeah. Mine are more like macro expressions because I do not mask afterwards. Uh, if I, if a look of disgust pop on my face, it stay on there until somebody tells me to fix my face.
[00:55:25] Bruce Anthony: You know what? Now that I think about it, you know what mom's favorite thing to say to us [00:55:30] was,
[00:55:30] J. Aundrea: Who was that?
[00:55:31] Bruce Anthony: fix your face.
[00:55:32] J. Aundrea: Yes,
[00:55:33] Bruce Anthony: Fix your face. What? Now I understand what that means. I didn't realize it. It's only recently that people have been pointing out to me, your face is telling me everything that your words aren't saying.
[00:55:47] J. Aundrea: Mm-hmm.
[00:55:48] Bruce Anthony: Or
[00:55:49] Bruce Anthony: they'll
[00:55:49] Bruce Anthony: just
[00:55:49] J. Aundrea: just say,
[00:55:49] J. Aundrea: yeah,
[00:55:50] J. Aundrea: your
[00:55:50] J. Aundrea: words
[00:55:51] J. Aundrea: match
[00:55:51] J. Aundrea: right
[00:55:51] J. Aundrea: now.
[00:55:52] J. Aundrea: Yeah,
[00:55:52] Bruce Anthony: Because as I've gotten older, I've gotten less and less of a filter.
[00:55:55] J. Aundrea: that part.
[00:55:56] J. Aundrea: Yeah. So you'll see my face and then quickly [00:56:00] after the words will come to match what my face is doing. So if I make a face after you say something that says, you look, you sound dumb as hell. And then just know what will follow will be me saying, you sound dumb as hell.
[00:56:21] Bruce Anthony: Alright, there's masking and concealment. People can sometimes successfully hide their true emotions. Research shows that follow up movements such as [00:56:30] deliberate smile can mask microexpressions in the eyes, making it difficult, even for attentive observers to detect the original emotion. This masking effect is particularly strong when the mouth movement follows the initial involuntary expression in the eyes.
[00:56:45] Bruce Anthony: I don't
[00:56:46] J. Aundrea: Yeah.
[00:56:46] Bruce Anthony: of that means.
[00:56:47] J. Aundrea: Yeah. Uh, so what I think it means is that like, first you're, you get that involuntary expression in your eyes are like, oh. And then you, you [00:57:00] kind of smile afterwards, like, you like go, oh, that's, hey, you know, like it's a little
[00:57:06] Bruce Anthony: Okay.
[00:57:06] J. Aundrea: it's that quick cover
[00:57:08] Bruce Anthony: The quick cover up,
[00:57:10] Bruce Anthony: uh, I think I did that.
[00:57:11] Workplace Woes: When Your Face Says It All 😤
[00:57:11] Bruce Anthony: So I remember one time my very first job I was working at Walden Bookstore
[00:57:16] Bruce Anthony: and I was a low man on the totem pole.
[00:57:19] Bruce Anthony: So you know what they had me do? Unbox. Yep. Unbox all the books
[00:57:24] Bruce Anthony: and then go put 'em in the proper categories. And sometimes I would have to punch in a number [00:57:30] to, uh, into the computer to find out which category it was.
[00:57:32] Bruce Anthony: 'cause I lied on my resume and an interview and said I was an avid reader. You and I both know
[00:57:43] Bruce Anthony: you and I both know
[00:57:45] Bruce Anthony: I.
[00:57:46] J. Aundrea: that immediately made me spit my
[00:57:47] J. Aundrea: coffee. Yeah,
[00:57:49] Bruce Anthony: I didn't even read the books that was assigned of the
[00:57:50] Bruce Anthony: high school,
[00:57:52] Bruce Anthony: so, so I wasn't reading nothing.
[00:57:54] J. Aundrea: yeah.
[00:57:54] Bruce Anthony: And a lot of times people would go in the Walden Bookstore and they couldn't find the books. You know why? Because I would get tired [00:58:00]
[00:58:00] Bruce Anthony: and I would just go put the books anywhere.
[00:58:02] Bruce Anthony: Like I don't care. They don't know that the customer didn't put it here, I'm gonna go put the books anywhere.
[00:58:07] J. Aundrea: I'd be checking.
[00:58:08] J. Aundrea: I'd be checking. that camera and be like, look, look, look. Watch Bruce put in the wrong spot. Watch. There you go. There it
[00:58:14] Bruce Anthony: So, so my manager came up to me in the back and he was talking to me about giving me like a bunch of things that I need to do. And as he was telling me this, he was like, alright, is everything okay? Are you mad about something? Of course I was mad. I was mad 'cause I didn't wanna do [00:58:30] none of those jobs that he
[00:58:31] Bruce Anthony: was labeling off for me to
[00:58:32] Bruce Anthony: do.
[00:58:33] Bruce Anthony: You know, what I wanted to do, set the cash register, ring people up. That's all I really
[00:58:36] Bruce Anthony: wanted to do. Okay.
[00:58:39] Bruce Anthony: But he was gonna have me do all this grunt work and a low key. There's a piece of me that was like. You're making me do this 'cause I'm black. But realistically, I was the only young person in there
[00:58:49] Bruce Anthony: and I was the only one I could really lift the boxes and stuff like that.
[00:58:51] Bruce Anthony: It was like some old women that typically worked in there. And I was like, and then Miss I want to call her Miss Sealy, that was not her name, but Miss
[00:58:59] Bruce Anthony: Sealy, [00:59:00] I loved her So,
[00:59:01] Bruce Anthony: much and I was like, miss e Lee, you ain't got to do that. I, I'll lift it up.
[00:59:04] J. Aundrea: yeah.
[00:59:05] Bruce Anthony: But my
[00:59:05] Bruce Anthony: face said I was mad as hell and when he said that, I know I quickly changed my face, but I
[00:59:11] J. Aundrea: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think I'm pretty good at masking, uh, depending on the situation I'm in, you know? 'cause like, especially like in wor at work or something, you know, somebody makes a lame joke about Mondays and you're like, even though you're inside, you want to go,
[00:59:29] Bruce Anthony: [00:59:30] Mm-hmm.
[00:59:31] J. Aundrea: just roll your eyes and kind of be like, please shut him, get on my face.
[00:59:34] J. Aundrea: So I think I'm pretty good at masking in situations like that. but as I get older, less and less so
[00:59:43] Bruce Anthony: Yeah, so there are also limitations of interpretation and a symmetry of mixed signals. Basically. Sometimes our facial expressions can convey something, but it is not our actual true
[00:59:55] Bruce Anthony: emotions. For me, it's always my true emotion. There is never any [01:00:00] time that my face is lying to you, my face is telling you exactly how I feel.
[01:00:04] Bruce Anthony: I.
[01:00:05] Bruce Anthony: don't know why people listen to the words that speak to contradict the faces that I make.
[01:00:09] Bruce Anthony: If I, if you say to me, Hey, did that sound stupid? And my face is reading, yeah, that
[01:00:17] J. Aundrea: That was dumb as hell. Yeah. my
[01:00:19] J. Aundrea: mouth.
[01:00:19] Bruce Anthony: nah, nah, nah. If
[01:00:20] Bruce Anthony: you like it, I
[01:00:21] J. Aundrea: I love it.
[01:00:21] Bruce Anthony: I'm lying to
[01:00:22] J. Aundrea: Yeah. If I'm looking like this, it'll be like, oh, that's nice.
[01:00:25] Bruce Anthony: Yeah,
[01:00:26] Bruce Anthony: no.
[01:00:27] J. Aundrea: like I, I'm clearly, I don't think it's nice[01:00:30]
[01:00:33] Bruce Anthony: I just, this woman I was dating one time asked me, she said, do you like these pants? And I said, yeah, I like 'em. She's like, no you don't. Your face is telling me that you don't. What? I didn't even do nothing. She was like, your face said there was a disgusted look on your face. I was like, all right, fine. I'm not the greatest fan of those pants,
[01:00:51] Bruce Anthony: but you could still, matter of fact, I'm not gonna say who it was.
[01:00:54] Bruce Anthony: I know. I'll tell you off camera who it was. I was like them hate them. Ugly ass [01:01:00] pants.
[01:01:03] Bruce Anthony: Uh, so ladies and gentlemen, if you can't hide who you
[01:01:06] Bruce Anthony: are through your facial expressions, you know what? Don't
[01:01:09] Bruce Anthony: be your true, authentic self. Yeah.
[01:01:12] Bruce Anthony: Even if it's at your
[01:01:12] J. Aundrea: Said your boss,
[01:01:13] J. Aundrea: Sometimes your
[01:01:14] Bruce Anthony: needs to know
[01:01:15] Bruce Anthony: that you think they did dumb as hell. You
[01:01:16] J. Aundrea: Yes. say
[01:01:17] J. Aundrea: it,
[01:01:17] J. Aundrea: You don't have to say
[01:01:18] Bruce Anthony: you don't have to say it,
[01:01:19] J. Aundrea: nothing.
[01:01:20] Bruce Anthony: but your face will say it.
[01:01:22] J. Aundrea: You can't take me to HR over my face.
[01:01:24] Bruce Anthony: Uh,
[01:01:25] Bruce Anthony: I think they can say facial expressions can be threatening. [01:01:30] I think that is a thing.
[01:01:33] J. Aundrea: I don't know. I y'all tell me, could you be taking the HR over your face? 'cause if so, I should be in HR lot
[01:01:42] Bruce Anthony: Yeah. I am
[01:01:43] Bruce Anthony: hr so.
[01:01:44] J. Aundrea: I will be in them Zoom meetings and be like,
[01:01:51] Bruce Anthony: I am hr, so you can't take me to me.

[01:02:18] Bruce Anthony: I,
[01:02:18] J. Aundrea: don't know.
[01:02:19] J. Aundrea: I don't
