06:47.14
J. Aundrea
Me to.

06:50.70
Bruce Anthony
Ah, 24 hour ah zertech

06:52.39
J. Aundrea
Okay, that's what I was gonna say because you like you had like a whole list of stuff and what was not in there was an allergy medication Billin Drills and anti histamine. It's not actually an allergy. It's not.

06:57.30
Bruce Anthony
The benedrill is an allergy medicaer.

07:08.51
J. Aundrea
Specifically for your allergies. Is it an his to me I said he's got this long list and he ain't named allergy medication yet. Yeah, you need a zer tech.

07:08.70
Bruce Anthony
Well well well well.

07:17.95
Bruce Anthony
So I'm doing all that stuff and ain't helping and then I was I saw a report on Nbc News also side note for people that want to get news. You don't get news on Fox News you don't get news on Msnbc you don't get news on Cnn you get news on Abc News Nbc News Cbs News those are news organizations that are just giving you news not commentary.

07:53.40
J. Aundrea
Um, where you can just read the paper.

07:53.60
Bruce Anthony
Strictly news. So if you want to ah even the paper has a right or left leaning slant. Well.

08:02.85
J. Aundrea
Yeah, if you're reading the opinion section but not if you're reading a reputable news newspaper.

08:11.52
Bruce Anthony
They'll say they'll say like I'm here in Washington d c so they'll say the Washington Times is a rightleaning paper and the Washington post is a leftleaning paper and depending on you know, which which paper you read. They'll have certain articles and the paper will have certain articles. So if I guess if you want to get the news. You can read both of them.

08:18.64
J. Aundrea
Comes from that.

08:30.48
Bruce Anthony
And decide what you want to get but I just paid attention to Abc Cbs and Nbc News that just give you the real raw news anyway, that was my little detour Nbc News they were like yeah the reports are saying that pollen season started twenty days earlier this year

08:36.24
J. Aundrea
Where.

08:45.20
J. Aundrea

J. Aundrea
Freely. But yeah I've you've been telling me about and people think that this is the show. This is not the show.

15:20.34
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, the only the only other thing not the only other thing there have been some positive feedbacks from a lot of the interviews I've done but I will say the most and the most feedback I've gotten from the interviews have been this the Madam Interview

15:34.84
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

15:40.11
Bruce Anthony
Which Olivia was great but I'm not talking about sex on every episode that this is not gonna be a Jerry Springer episode I think I think that was important subject I'll be interviewing a former porn addict that's written a lot of books.

15:47.82
J. Aundrea
Um, right right.

15:58.86
Bruce Anthony
That'll be interesting I also interview Dr. John who's a doctor and written a lot of books on welfare and and and and fostering children and gave a lot of information about children trafficking ah look.

16:07.40
J. Aundrea
And.

16:17.66
J. Aundrea
Yes, yes yeah.

16:18.30
Bruce Anthony
Umm, a teacher at heart. So we're gonna talk about stuff and you gonna learn something. It can't be all jokes and then people I was talking to somebody I was talking to 2 people earlier. They listen all the time and they and they're gonna know that I'm talking about them. And they were like we just like the banit between me and my you and your sister and I was like get it's been built over 38 years yes the banter is gonna be great but also itin't all jokes. We just like the ban I was like you know we talk about serious stuff too. I like the way yall talk about serious stuff and then and bring it up and down throughout the episode.

16:37.13
J. Aundrea
Um, yes, yeah.

16:44.56
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah, fine.

16:52.10
Bruce Anthony
Um, like okay, all right? Well I got a feeling this gonna be unsolicited perspectives with Bruce Anthony and Ja Andrea

16:54.91
J. Aundrea
Um, again, safe to show people.

17:02.72
J. Aundrea
No I think even that even in the instance if we had picked up and get sponsors though it still I'm not going to appear up. Do so I have an out you know life too. You know like.

17:11.14
Bruce Anthony
Yeah.

17:21.18
J. Aundrea
And you are more than capable of carrying your own show because you do because you literally do you.

17:22.90
Bruce Anthony
And right I do kid but you know the problem was I promise is I should have had them interviews First he yeah putting youall behind the scenes. This is typically a after hours on since subject but I'mma let y'all know right? I was gunho.

17:31.10
J. Aundrea
Let's see putting out time and this is typical.

17:39.83
Bruce Anthony
About getting this show started and I said I'm just gonna do it I'm just gonna do it because I knew that I could I could push this off for eternity and I had I had for 10 years going all the way back to talking about doing a internet radio show. No.

17:43.28
J. Aundrea
Um.

17:47.37
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

17:57.70
J. Aundrea
Yeah, it's been a minute. Yeah, you know.

17:57.84
Bruce Anthony
Damn it almost twenty years okay it's been a long minute so I was like no I'm just gonna do it right? But the interviews I was like ah I don't know about these interviews I think I just want my show to establish my identity but Jay I think you need to do a show with me. Okay I do a show with you. And it was the first show. So everybody was like oh this is the show and I'm like now. No yeah now now because the first show was good. Well the the the second first show and the first the first show was good to get The first note was good.

18:18.60
J. Aundrea
This is the show. Yeah, that was the problem you should have done the solo show first.

18:29.42
J. Aundrea
This I but the first show that we aired. Yes, yeah.

18:36.37
Bruce Anthony
But that is what it is but you know hey you stuck no to take j you stuck if it was like when your sister coming back as like she was just on last week oh

18:41.65
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah.

18:46.66
J. Aundrea
Yeah I'm one every week guys like every Friday I'm here. So.

18:53.30
Bruce Anthony
But there was one time I did the sibling happy hour on a Tuesday instead of a Friday and I didn't label it as the sibling happy hour which by the way ladies and gentlemen if you're paying attention to the titles of the episodes. It's never really labeled the sibling happy hour its sibling happy hour is in the descriptions.

19:01.67
J. Aundrea
Um, and.

19:09.96
J. Aundrea
Yeah, but you know you gotta label work are people. You know you gotta label it for.

19:12.80
Bruce Anthony
But it's never that the title of the episode is never the when Happi Hour you know what? and it it was on tuesday instead of a Friday people' like. Where's a Sibley happy hour I was like you got it. It was show meet my sister earlier wait if sister was on it I was like so you ain't listen. Did you.

19:30.64
J. Aundrea
Um.

19:30.66
Bruce Anthony
So people it's some people that listen to the sibling Happy hour and then go back and listen to the interviews and I'm like oh you not even listening them in chronological order like in the interviews I bring up the conversation. Yeah, like it. It's like.

19:37.87
J. Aundrea
Right? Because sometimes the happy hour I'm bringing up things from your interviews. So.

19:47.81
Bruce Anthony
And that's and that's what make them go back and be like oh you listen to the interview. So it's so so on the sim half hour you just need to be plugging these interviews I guess that's just what it is.

19:56.63
J. Aundrea
I guess well you had a very excellent conversation. Ah with it was Dr John yes yeah

20:02.14
Bruce Anthony
Dr. John here now he was good to he had an interesting life look this is a man that started out and a basically not it wasn't a traveling circus but it was a traveling show traveled all across the world entertaining met his wife.

20:13.20
J. Aundrea
And.

20:21.80
Bruce Anthony
They got married. They unfortunately the first child that they tried to have that didn't make it they ran away and lived on an island for an entire year came back settled down there in Georgia and yo neck of the woods got right? got not right? but got.

20:32.29
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah.

20:39.26
Bruce Anthony
Into the church they fostered not hundreds I think he said 60 and over the over the course of his lifetime 60 They had 3 kids of their own. They adopted 3 other kids and fostered a whole number of kids and he also did professional wrestling before all that stuff.

20:44.67
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah.

20:58.65
Bruce Anthony
So I was like this is this is it like this is you This is interesting.

20:59.12
J. Aundrea
Yeah, because people's paths are very rarely linear like people go all over the place and then end up where they are.

21:09.16
Bruce Anthony
Right.

21:11.17
J. Aundrea
And so they typically have a really interesting story. So even if you see in this description that we're talking about the foster care system or or what have you still listen because these people stories are really really interesting and you'll learn a lot.

21:23.56
Bruce Anthony
And you said we me, it's me no, that's all right? It's me for yeah yeah, but but no, but and there have been times where I wanted my sister to be on the interviews but my sister got a.

21:28.32
J. Aundrea
Oh my bad I'm just yeah I mean in the Royal We like me sick you know, like like him.

21:40.72
J. Aundrea
With yeah.

21:41.32
Bruce Anthony
Well, we both got real jobs and this is but she don't take this as seriously as I do now I'm talking about as serious as as much work as I'm putting in the.

21:46.40
J. Aundrea
I Do take a stack at my notes At. Oh Yeah I don't put any work into this and well I won't say I don't put any work in I I Do I do my research and I do everything you give me the show topics I do the research so I can come here and not sound like a complete jackass.

J. Aundrea
So hope that's I do work I do work our work d Ray Davis I think it was power play. Yes.

22:09.89
Bruce Anthony
I hey first of all I work if y'all don't get there watch it. What's Dra Davis Power play was that was that what yeah power play stand up. It was funny but. Okay, all jokes aside, we're about to get into some serious stuff and 1 quick break.

22:38.66
Bruce Anthony
All right says we had our little joking around. Let's get to a serious topic Tennessee.

22:42.91
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, there's no song for Tennessee is there. Oh yeah, my rested development. You're absolutely right? You're absolutely right? Yes, yeah.

22:49.22
Bruce Anthony
Yes, yeah, Tennessee where we going take me to win another play we yeah yeah and I'm sure a ball and mg mjg made a song about Tennessee you know I mean it's mephis but we ain't talking about.

23:02.68
J. Aundrea
Turn.

23:05.27
Bruce Anthony
Great hip hop artists. We're talking about the legislator down there in Tennessee and we brought it up a little bit last week. What's the 2 boys names Justin and ah Jj Jj that I had to write? Yeah j j.

23:10.54
J. Aundrea
And.

23:17.20
J. Aundrea
They're both Justin they're the they're the Justin yes Justin Jones and Justin Pearson yes does he go by jj okay I didn't know.

23:23.94
Bruce Anthony
Ah, had it right? Justin and Jj I look what black people what black people you know, got a first and a last name with the same initial and don't go by double something and Jj.

23:36.97
J. Aundrea
I think it only worked for Jay's that it like I was thinking about and I was like oh PT here you hear.

23:40.34
Bruce Anthony
It does really only work for Jj that t t that's tt yeah did t t all anyway, they were expelled because if you listen to some right wing news organizations. They were. Initiating an insurrection James nobody died as far as I can tell there was no property that was destroyed ah wasn't based on a lie right? Absolutely ah, absolutely.

23:59.38
J. Aundrea
Yeah, they compared it to January Sixth no one it wasn't based on a lie. Yeah, if right.

24:18.25
Bruce Anthony
I will say I believe that a lot of people from January Six actually believe yeah they believed that but they they didn't think it was a lie but we know it was a lie. We talked about January Sixth not with these 3 people the Jays the jjs.

24:21.15
J. Aundrea
Oh no, they fully wholeheartedly, but you hit. Yeah yeah, bright.

24:32.29
J. Aundrea
It was 3 yes.

24:36.19
Bruce Anthony
Normally get. You know they've gotten all the credit because they were the ones that were actually expelled. Ah yeah, miss Miss Johnson

24:40.32
J. Aundrea
Yes, but there's also no Gloria Johnson who is yes, she's a representative at a Knoxville retired teacher and has been ah in the house of representatives for 10 years

24:53.99
Bruce Anthony
She down for the clause she she invited to the cookout. She invited to the cookout. Ah so they expelled them because they said that they basically were causing insurrection and they were scared as basically what it was um.

24:55.76
J. Aundrea
Yes.

25:05.32
J. Aundrea
Well they there what they stated was they violated the rules of decorum and that that deserved some sort of consequence but they took a very heavy handed approach that they do not like this kind of thing expelling people.

25:22.67
Bruce Anthony
Actually it literally just happened yesterday in Arizona they expelled their Tennessee year.

25:24.37
J. Aundrea
From the health of representatives. This does not happen like. Well I mean in Tennessee so in tennessine it's only happened like twice since the civil war and it were it was people who were involved in some sort of criminal misconduct right? So this is not something that they take lightly is is this is a serious punishment. For violating the rules of decorum ridiculous they were speaking when they were not ah well so what happened was hundreds of people this is follow and this is coming on the hills of the mass shooting at covenant school.

25:49.67
Bruce Anthony
Um, decorrum and and and ah and what does that actually mean.

26:06.12
Bruce Anthony
The shooting where the three kids were killed and the 3 adults were killed. Yes.

26:08.29
J. Aundrea
And that correct so you've got now Tennessee is this ah center for the gun control debate. So Democrats want gun control republicans are calling for more guns in school by strengthening security. So you have. Protesters descending onto the capitol demanding gun control reform and Jones Pearson and Johnson all March to the well of the chamber which is the front part of the chamber where you can speak with bullhorns leading chance with protesters calling for gun control. So because they were not called on to speak. They violated the rules of decorum and so they were stripped of their committee assignments they were given the very cool and part of me wants this to happen to me one day but like also not.

27:00.20
Bruce Anthony
That.

27:01.89
J. Aundrea
But they were given the very cool like they were called the Tennessee three you know like no I don't really want I can pardon of me with the panky 3 but that's nobody knows like nobody gave us that name we gave ourselves that name that's not anyway.

27:08.15
Bruce Anthony
Um, we have we have one.

27:16.62
Bruce Anthony
Well yeah, there's this true.

27:20.33
J. Aundrea
But they were stripped of their committee assignments their badge access was revoked um and then they moved to vote to expel all 3 of them. So that's what happened.

27:29.94
Bruce Anthony
So I had a lot of thoughts as this was happening and and so my thoughts was is heavy handed right? There's a lot of other ways that you could have handle it because it.

27:34.27
J. Aundrea
And.

27:42.44
J. Aundrea
Yes.

27:47.78
Bruce Anthony
Technically they did technically they did break a rule. Um, but the punishment damn sure doesn't fit the crime. Ah and to me.

27:53.42
J. Aundrea
Yes.

28:00.14
J. Aundrea
No, it severely outweighs it.

28:07.45
Bruce Anthony
This was yet another example of a group of I hate to talk about race again. But I got to do it a group of white men and this was predominantly the people that brought this the ah expelling were white men. Um.

28:20.90
J. Aundrea
And.

28:24.31
Bruce Anthony
And then you had the one that one representative that was just basically lecturing. Ah the 3 of them about rules and not to talk out a turn that's basically what he was saying don't talk out of turn stay in your place.

28:28.81
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

28:44.35
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah.

28:44.36
Bruce Anthony
That's the way I took it then the votes came in and the 2 black guys were expelled and the white woman wasn't and then this is where if I attacked right media I'm going to attack left as well.

28:50.33
J. Aundrea
M.

28:59.29
Bruce Anthony
Immediately started saying well this is a clear example of racism and even she said it but she was only not expelled by 1 vote. So all the votes were the same except for 1 person decide now we shouldn't have her so.

29:02.22
J. Aundrea
N.

29:13.87
J. Aundrea
No, so actually she was saved by 1 vote she earned 5 votes but Justin Jones only received one republican vote in his favor. Everyone else voted against them. So their votes were not the same. She was barely saved.

29:20.40
Bruce Anthony
That's what I mean that's what I said.

29:33.73
J. Aundrea
But I'm feeling like there was probably some conversation in the background of like ok we got to make it look like she's not gonna make it but like we'll save her by 1 vote like that that to me is what it was given. We're definitely goingnna expel the Justins let's make it look like she's hanging on by a thread just so. Like optically it doesn't look bad but we're still gonna see her.

29:53.68
Bruce Anthony
So so so okay, you're saying not it was still pretty racist but they made it they they did a backhand deal to make it seem like it wasn't that racist. It was like no.

30:06.71
J. Aundrea
That's what is given to me I don't obviously I don't have any insight into what's going on in Tennessee I don't know anybody my unsolicited perspective is there was probably some back. We're not gonna we're obviously not going to get rid of the white lady right? right? Yes, okay, so like that.

30:11.46
Bruce Anthony
Hey this is a unsolicited perspective.

30:21.16
Bruce Anthony
Well I mean these people and and I'm going to say people in power. Okay, these people don't like anybody talking out a term. They don't like don't like disrupted in the status quo look This is what is and they're not going to do.

30:23.72
J. Aundrea
And so. And now.

30:38.19
Bruce Anthony
Anything as far as gun reform gun law reform because the Nra puts out gives out too much money right? that's.

30:47.36
J. Aundrea
Yeah, well and and Gloria Johnson actually brought that up when she had an opportunity during the hearing to um, defend herself right? She she called out what was clear because I feel like yes. There is a racial issue here but there's also a generational one and she called out what was a clear generational divide in the house that and she urged the law. You know, like older lawmakers. You need to start embracing these more outspoken younger members because the Justins are.

31:04.38
Bruce Anthony
Yes.

31:21.37
J. Aundrea
The youngest members. Yeah, they're in their they're in their mid to late twenty s so they're the youngest members there. So um, yeah, you got 2 things going on here so you have this generational divide and also like you stated there's the racial divide also cause.

31:22.97
Bruce Anthony
You're there in the 20 s yeah.

31:40.66
J. Aundrea
In the rhetoric right? that that kind of like don't speak out a turn they they said they were throwing Temper tantrums and things like that. Yeah, right.

31:42.28
Bruce Anthony
Right? Which also has a do that could be race racial based but also age based right like it that that specific term throwing Temper tantrums. You equate that to something kids Do You don't say adults really throw temperatures I do because adults do be done on temperature tantrums but that's not something generally attached to an adult when you're doing ah the adjective of how somebody is acting that's older.

32:00.94
J. Aundrea
Um, yes.

32:08.89
J. Aundrea
Right? right? That's why I feel like it's both racial and generational because what do you? What did historically white men call black men but boy right? So it's kind of like this infantilization of the black man.

32:16.41
Bruce Anthony
M.

32:21.96
Bruce Anthony
Is if.

32:28.60
J. Aundrea
So ah, but you know why? why'd you go? Yeah, oh yeah.

32:30.68
Bruce Anthony
Because because I because I could see you I could see you starting to get going I could see you starting to get going I was like I was like oh you throwing them you he thought them English major where you throwing them them linguist words out there I was like oh J about to go So that's the reason why I was like it was just go sit back.

32:43.90
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

32:49.93
Bruce Anthony
I wouldn't go saying that that I was just go let you go I felt like I interrupted you but keep going.

32:51.84
J. Aundrea
Yeah, it's it is but that was all I was gonna say it was this infantilization of the black man that I felt like was pretty clear in all the rhetoric that was going on there.

33:02.15
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, so it's funny. You know I'm Gen x millennial borderline. They're starting to blend in gen x and millennial at the as the same group they they kind of I don't even even.

33:14.33
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

33:18.75
Bruce Anthony
Really hear millennial anymore I just hear Boomer Gen X Gen Z But ah, whatever I'm in that generation you're in that generation right? people that are our age and older talk about the Gen Z As this.

33:35.36
Bruce Anthony
Just this crazy group of people that just need to shut up because they don't know anything and I think that maybe the dynamic of of our generation at that age. Yes, we weren't as knowledgeable as.

33:40.59
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah.

33:51.66
Bruce Anthony
This Gen Z is because they have access to way more information if we wanted to discover something we really needed to go to the library and look at Encyclopedias right? They've grown up with basically an encyclopedia in their hand.

33:54.40
J. Aundrea
Yes. Yeah, yeah, the world's knowledge. Yeah, the world's knowledge at their fingertips. Mm.

34:10.91
Bruce Anthony
They are smarter in certain aspects. They are smarter. They're more knowledgeable they know about more things than we did now them their social skills their interpersonal social skills I don't know.

34:19.15
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

34:26.36
J. Aundrea
I Mean they're definitely more idealistic than we were I mean I say this all the time millennials are traumatized. We we just grew up in a very turbulent. We were born in a turbulent time we grew up in the turbulent time.

34:28.26
Bruce Anthony
But.

34:43.12
J. Aundrea
And we're still living in a turbulent time like there was really has not been a moment of respite for the millennial at any point.

34:48.61
Bruce Anthony
Not want well I'm trying to think in the 90 s a little bit in the 90 s a little bit. Nope no, there wasn't well.

34:59.70
J. Aundrea
We were we there was war.

35:07.67
Bruce Anthony
The gulf war was like 91 but 91 but that was like over it was like 9091 92 but it's like over after that.

35:13.92
J. Aundrea
Yeah, but I mean we still knew we still. There was still people in that I mean we were born during crack and aids. Um I mean.

35:20.64
Bruce Anthony
Right.

35:25.46
J. Aundrea
My senior of high school the towers fell So all my friends went to war.

35:27.92
Bruce Anthony
But that's in the two thousand I was telling specifically the 90 s aside from the beginning stuff in the beginning we we had a brief I mean besides biggie and pod getting killed all and kt and Kurt Cobain died are never mind we we didn't get near my yeah yeah.

35:39.69
J. Aundrea
Right? That was devastating. Yeah we did all our all black people were dying ah like all the people who were like we considered to be the voices of our generation kept dying like we like.

35:46.81
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, that. Yeah, they kept. Yeah you right? you write.

35:54.80
J. Aundrea
We have not ah we're just been surrounded by death. So I think that ah Gen Z is growing up in a world with a lot of knowledge at their fingertips and a lot of idealism where we're where we're more I don't want to say nihilistic but we definitely are jaded.

36:12.62
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, absolutely, that's all those things.

36:14.38
J. Aundrea
But definitely disillusion. We definitely think the world is a garbage fire. But so I think you know and so you've got like 2 camps right? That's like yeah gen z we love you guys that are yeah out there going for and and fighting for you know, equity out there like god bless you all. And then you have another camp that's like want these kids shut up.

36:34.37
Bruce Anthony
And and and it's that camp that doesn't recognize that these kids like when people talk they attack greta and they're like she doesn't know anything about the environment too I Like no.

36:45.42
J. Aundrea
Um, and yes she does.

36:49.00
Bruce Anthony
She knows wait. She probably knows way more than what you know right? now as a fully functional grown adult because you're just going off of what people are telling you they're like that's what they said but is it true right now when people get into argument and debates.

36:56.96
J. Aundrea
Right.

37:06.69
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

37:07.71
Bruce Anthony
They Google it. They find out they grew up doing that. We just started doing that. So yeah, they're more knowledgeable. So yes, there's this dynamic and and when I talk to people my age. They don't look finally upon Gen they don't look at Gen Z like we do.

37:23.98
J. Aundrea
The.

37:26.17
Bruce Anthony
Not all of them. There are some of them that look fondly upon the kids but then at the same time they look fondly upon the kids and they say boy I Love their gusto and their determination and they're dry but sometimes they go a little too far and and both things can be true.

37:41.20
J. Aundrea
Yeah I mean both of those yeah like you said both those things can be true at once. We really don't guys and they.

37:44.20
Bruce Anthony
But we got to cancel everybody all the time.

37:54.90
J. Aundrea
Everybody sometimes calm down now this might get me canceled but you know what I'm bound.

37:55.91
Bruce Anthony
Right is every 9 and you gotta show some flex like there's gotta be a little flex in life. You can't be yeah you you know right.

38:01.33
J. Aundrea
Yeah, you know people room to grow and change to evolve. Yes, no one No one's born woke like.

38:10.80
Bruce Anthony
People people evolve like people change and it's like hold on. We can't say that word because that's got negative connotation right? Reclaim it because okay, we're de tor and I want to end talking.

38:18.49
J. Aundrea
Yes, we can I'm reclaiming it.

38:29.90
Bruce Anthony
About this because I think this is important since we brought up woke that Ron Desantis is now pushing for a six week ban on abortion now why is that important? Well if you listen to my interview with Dr Danny you learned that most people.

38:31.75
J. Aundrea
M.

38:44.36
J. Aundrea
Oh.

38:49.87
Bruce Anthony
Don't even realize that they're pregnant until after the six weeks so effectively that's exactly um and it is that it would be the strictest bill in the US.

38:52.41
J. Aundrea
Which is exactly why they chose six weeks here man.

39:06.69
Bruce Anthony
And and you just pay attention to what he's doing down there in Florida. It's all this culture war politics but he's losing a lot of cases in court like he's trying to pass these laws that just aren't getting like people are suing and they're winning in court.

39:11.82
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

39:22.58
J. Aundrea
Yeah, it is for show and a lot of it's unconstitutional and it's also wildly unpopular even in their base among voters six week bands these days.

39:26.20
Bruce Anthony
So it's really all for show.

39:34.73
Bruce Anthony
M.

39:42.00
J. Aundrea
Are wildly unpopular. So a lot of it is just for show this the vote in Tennessee ended up being for show right? because according to a reporting from vox you know both of them are back in their seats they're in as interim representatives. No, they're both back.

39:55.24
Bruce Anthony
I Know one was but did the other. Okay, they're both back? yeah.

40:00.69
J. Aundrea
Um, jones was reinstated by Nashville Metropolitan Council unanimously on Monday and then Pearson was reinstated by Shelby County commission unanimously on Wednesday jones has already been sworn back into his seat Pearson will be sworn in. This week if not today I can't remember um there already that the inner. Yeah.

40:21.59
Bruce Anthony
But these are interim now they have to they have to yeah so they had to go back and and pay and campaign for because they'll be in the special election. Yeah bunch of bull.

40:29.58
J. Aundrea
During a special election correct so which ended up being for show. Not only that now they got these overflowing war chests right? because this ended up getting that national attention and. What's going what's happening now they're getting donations coming in from influential Democrats. So um, that in that special election run they're gonna be back in their seats like they're gonna be back in their seats.

41:02.38
Bruce Anthony
It sooner or later right? Wing politicians that are extreme ah because you have some republicans who are not extreme who don't get into the the cultural War politics I'm not going to put that all on a Republican party because that's just not true.

41:14.34
J. Aundrea
Um I.

41:18.41
Bruce Anthony
Just seems that way because they're the loudest but all this cultural war politics at at every turn it's backfiring against them and you would think if you keep taking L after L after L after L that you would stop it that you would you would be like well.

41:19.14
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah.

41:32.72
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

41:36.42
Bruce Anthony
We keep losing this is in the right direction. But I I was listening to my boy Ah Mayor Pete the other day and and and I say my boy and some people are like you rock with him sometimes sometimes yeah iin't got to like every.

41:50.13
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, good question all right right.

41:52.70
Bruce Anthony
You know I got to like everybody all the time you know I rock with him sometimes and he's basically said the reason why some people in the Republican party are doing these cultural politics because they just don't have answers to the questions and so I would say when you're listening to politicians.

42:05.83
J. Aundrea
Now.

42:12.50
Bruce Anthony
Listen to what they speak are they double talking you What is double talking you double talking is when you ask somebody a question. They don't answer the question. They talk all around the question and it seems like what they said was was spit and facts. No they were not politicians.

42:20.00
J. Aundrea
What is this.

42:25.80
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah.

42:29.50
Bruce Anthony
Are King of this right? They don't typically answer the questions they they take a question and then they they take it to another subject and and and something like that. So are they double talking you or are they giving you the Ra real facts pay attentions to people that are giving you the Royal real facts whether you believe in it or not.

42:31.25
J. Aundrea
Right? It's It's a.

42:46.64
Bruce Anthony
They believe in what they're actually saying and you could take them for their work. Those people that are double talking you and that's just not on one side. It's on both sides those people that are double talking. You don't give them I was about to SaySH I t but um, even though I'd be saying it's explicit anyway I could say shit.

42:47.29
J. Aundrea
And.

43:00.90
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah, right? I mean and that's that's the other issue that popped up with this right? So on the surface. Yes, it feels like the Justins ended up.

43:05.27
Bruce Anthony
They they don't be saying shit.

43:18.19
J. Aundrea
Walking away from this situation in a better so it seemed like an own goal for the republicans in the house of of representatives in Tennessee right? like because the justins ended up much better off than they were when they started. But the issue that comes up is the precedent that this sets for other states that have super majorjorities that they can just expel members that they don't like for whatever reason is is. It's a slippery slope to slip and slide down. Okay.

43:53.10
Bruce Anthony
A.

43:55.97
J. Aundrea
That's the right because a that So there is a real problem that popped up because of their decision to expel these these 2 representatives simply because they didn't like what they were saying and then there was an attempt to silence them is. Is a blatant attempt to suppress oppositional voices and as long as we have these issues with gerrymandering and these super majorities in these state houses. What else can where does that stop. Like if we follow that through line where does that stop.

44:34.86
Bruce Anthony
Now it.

44:45.92
Bruce Anthony
All right says. So as as some listeners would say we got real. So let's bring it back up was let's let's make it light.

44:53.48
J. Aundrea
Yeah, the the who the condescension in your face and voice.

45:02.94
Bruce Anthony
No, but they're right and I told him I as they were saying this I was like you know that's planned right? You know I I do that. That's how I break out this I was like do you think I just turn on the mikes and just go sometimes sometimes sometimes do.

45:12.15
J. Aundrea
Right? Ah yeah I mean the opening of the show we were wing that that was just.

45:20.19
Bruce Anthony
But that's I typically plan for the opening the show to be winging. But anyway so I was perusing Twitter as I like to do while it's still a thank as Elon Musk is driving that into the ground Npr just said are we out of here. But anyway as Perus and Twitter.

45:21.91
J. Aundrea
Oh.

45:30.60
J. Aundrea
Um.

45:38.83
Bruce Anthony
And there was his tweet. This woman said if there's 4 of us at a restaurant and the bill is $400 then everybody's paying $100 and I said the hell I am what did I order I'm King Chicken finger

45:46.25
J. Aundrea
Um, no no.

45:57.21
Bruce Anthony
My best friend calls me shit this is this is her exact words ah chicken fingers and wings I Love Chicken Fingers Wings This is this is their exact words we were going out to a restaurant one time we were going out to eat and she was like what are you gonna get and I was like oh now I'll probably get the chicken fingers.

45:58.15
J. Aundrea
Um, that's despicable.

46:15.22
Bruce Anthony
And she literally says to me children cover your ears. She literally says to me won't you stop being a chip I I have a trouble getting it out. She said won't you stop being a chicken figure eating bitch.

Bruce Anthony
Where. Look First of all. Look the honey muster and the French fries on the side. Yes, to do like hold on now. The reason why I typically end up doing that is because when we go out to restaurants and they have these extravagant dishes I'm like look.

J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, a long time ago. Yeah.

48:50.46
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, have grown up since but yeah, no I don't do those large group dinners because you end up paying for other people's food and what's jacked up is is they know that that split that even split is beneficial to them but they won't stand up and say now I need to put in a little extra.

48:57.91
J. Aundrea
M.

49:06.70

49:21.38
J. Aundrea
There's a lot of big dinners at whatever new black owned restaurant. There is here in Atlanta that has huka for some reason. Okay and none of these places split the bill none of them none of these places split the bill. They us always 1 check for the table I don't know why.

49:28.31
Bruce Anthony
But why.

49:40.51
J. Aundrea

49:58.48
J. Aundrea
Ah, so obviously I'm gonna go I'm gonna celebrate with my friend I order my you know appetizer my entree I'm there with another friend of mine most of the other women I don't know um, but I'm there with another friend of mine. She orders just an appetizer and a couple drinks right. She spent maybe $40 the bill is like eleven hundred bucks okay it's a lot of us. But that's not the only thing two of the women there ordered multiple entrees and.

50:20.28
Bruce Anthony
Um, okay, because it's a lot of Y'

50:33.78
Bruce Anthony
Time out.

50:34.38
J. Aundrea
Entrees to go? Yeah yeah, look look at my face. Okay, if you can and now if you're just listening to the podcast. You don't see how wide my eyes are right now but imagine 2 small saucers.

50:38.74
Bruce Anthony
What they know.

50:53.76
J. Aundrea
On somebody's face. That's how wide my eyes are yeah okay, my eyes they are wide open so I'm watching this and I know this is probably one of those establishments they ordered who cause everything there was like 2 goes on the table and everything. Ok.

50:54.95
Bruce Anthony
And this is during pollen season. So that's that's a hell of a that's a hell of a feet.

51:12.54
J. Aundrea
Everybody's getting drink drinks are flowing I have my 1 drink because these drinks were like $22 or something stupid like that. So I have now at our table. There was 7 of us. But I think because these have.

51:17.38
Bruce Anthony
How many of you. How many people. He all ran up a $1100 tap. A.

51:31.97
J. Aundrea
What part of they were ordering multiple entrees and entrees to go Ok I can't I I real I can't stress this enough I don't know these women.

51:33.85
Bruce Anthony
I Know I know I know about this second. It.

51:50.64
J. Aundrea
And I'm watching this happen knowing that there's gonna be 1 check that's coming to this table now. The cool thing is she prints out this one long check that splits up by person. Everybody's total gratuity tax included all you got to do is find which one is yours.

52:01.20
Bruce Anthony
Okay.

52:08.26
J. Aundrea
See that Grand total I said okay you all can cash at me and I'll pay the I'll put the thing on my car because here's why here's why because if I hadn't stepped up the way everybody was looking simple. Yeah.

52:17.25
Bruce Anthony
Um, up that's rule number one. You don't.

52:27.95
J. Aundrea
Because initially the thing was hey this is how much the bill is we'll split it seven ways. Absolutely the hell not the ones that ordered the traits to go First of all one of the people who ordered the entree to go.

52:34.34
Bruce Anthony
Who who suggested splitting in 7 ways.

52:45.75
J. Aundrea
Got up and left before the check even came she cash up somebody some random amount of money and left was it enough to cover her bill. It was not.

52:47.16
Bruce Anthony
Wow.

53:00.75
J. Aundrea
Ah, ah, okay, so I took control of the situation because I said absolutely not especially for my friend who was there who literally only spent like $40 there is no way I'm letting her. Walk out of here spend hundreds of dollars

53:18.15
Bruce Anthony
Um, but you know whose responsibility it is the 1 throwing a party.

53:21.61
J. Aundrea
Yes, right? So There were 2 tables. She was not at the table when the bill came she did come to me later and was like I was going to take care of all of that I just and I was like I I didn't know that you wanted to do that I wanted I was like I could take that off your plate. That's no problem I can wrangle it we figure out who owe me what because somebody owe me some okay I'm leaving here with some come leave some okay.

53:45.74
Bruce Anthony
Um, yeah.

53:49.95
Bruce Anthony
Get the dead sell hey look I'm leaving with some.

53:59.10
J. Aundrea
So Michael make sure I walk out of here. No way, no way because if the bill is 400 and there's 4 of us but you spent 200 of that bill. There is no way that I'm coming out my pocket more money. It'd be 1 and you know what actually.

53:59.93
Bruce Anthony
The.

54:07.60
Bruce Anthony
Right.

54:17.63
J. Aundrea
I don't know a $400 bill for 4 people paid to for everybody paid a one hundred that's probably right? Not if you got chicken fingers and I don't think that it's like poor etiquette to say I'm gonna pay.

54:22.64
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, not if you got chicken fingers.

54:35.80
Bruce Anthony
No.

54:36.11
J. Aundrea
For what I had I don't think that that's poor etiquette I think that? Yeah, if there's 4 of you The bills 400 if everyone is in agreements that will all just pay $100 That's fine if really what I ordered was $75 and I'm paying that extra 25 I'll count that as tax and tip but this situation this other situation I had that situation. No you damn right? I got over but I was going figure that whole situation out.

54:58.82
Bruce Anthony
Okay, ah did you did So you put So so so did you get all your money.

55:12.36
Bruce Anthony
Well what happened what happened with the person that skipped out earlier that I got the entrees to go feed in a home family.

55:14.34
J. Aundrea
I would go make sure. And there's an invention called the cell phone and I called what got it straight Listen No no, no, don't do that to your friend and also don't do that to your friends.
