TRANSCRIPT:

0:00:03 Bruce Anthony : Leave me.

0:00:03 J. Aundrea: All right.

No.

Begin a meeting.

Hello.

Welcome to the very first podcast, even though
this won't be the first podcast that's going

to be posted.

Welcome to unsolicited perspective.

My sister hates that name, but I like it.

I'm your host, Bruce Anthony, along with my
sister J. Andrea doesn't want to put out her

social media if she don't want you all to
know who she is, but welcome.

0:00:29 Bruce Anthony : I can give it there's
nothing to my social media right now.

0:00:36 J. Aundrea: Just put out your photography
company page then.

0:00:41 Bruce Anthony : I'm really not taking
clients at the moment.

0:00:43 J. Aundrea: Look, it's always some
money out there, and if they're willing to

give it to us, I'm willing to take it.

0:00:48 Bruce Anthony : You can find me on
Instagram.

I mean, don't, but you can.

I am underscore J andrea Andrea spelled aundrea.

You can also find me on TikTok.

I think also, I am Jay Andrea on TikTok.

I have no idea.

0:01:07 J. Aundrea: It would be very helpful
if you actually knew what your social media

addresses were.

0:01:13 Bruce Anthony : It would no, you know
what?

On TikTok, I am at J underscore Andrea aundre.

You can follow me on tik tok but again, I
don't do much.

I'm mostly a lurker.

0:01:27 J. Aundrea: What are you lurking on?

0:01:29 Bruce Anthony : I lurked on everything.

I lurk on people.

People's, pets, all types of stuff.

0:01:37 J. Aundrea: You know me.

And I will be blatantly honest, I'm a creeper
on social media.

0:01:41 Bruce Anthony : Yeah.

0:01:42 J. Aundrea: I don't really do too
much as far as posting nowadays, but I do

be on other people's pages, and it will be
influencers that are half naked.

0:01:54 Bruce Anthony : Yeah, that feels on
brand.

0:01:57 J. Aundrea: Technically, I guess I'm
middle aged.

Am I at the middle age point?

0:02:01 Bruce Anthony : How long are you expecting
to live?

0:02:04 J. Aundrea: Hey, look, if we double
my age right now, that's good enough for me.

I don't want to live too much longer than
that.

0:02:12 Bruce Anthony : Right.

I feel like I'm in the middle I don't know
how much more over I don't know how much more

over that I don't want to be 100.

0:02:24 J. Aundrea: No.

Well, if I'm 100 and I'm getting around, I
just don't want to get to the point where

I'm wearing diaper.

That's all I care about.

No diaper.

0:02:35 Bruce Anthony : Yeah.

I would say that if I can still take care
of myself, go to the bathroom alone.

Right.

0:02:46 J. Aundrea: I don't want to buy the
base.

Well, let's move on.

0:02:50 Bruce Anthony : That's all I'm saying.

0:02:52 J. Aundrea: All right, so you hit
me up earlier, talking about some Xbox 360.

What the hell was that about?

0:02:58 Bruce Anthony : Oh, we were doing
instead of paying people, more companies will

often have them engage in, like, little games
or give them pizza parties.

So today for a customer service week, we were
doing a scavenger hunt.

I do not know what the prize was, but my boss
was incredibly motivated to get it done.

We did.

We got all the things on the list.

They were very white things that I.

0:03:32 J. Aundrea: Feel like here we go.

0:03:34 Bruce Anthony : I mean, I don't know
too many black people with a pogo stick.

0:03:39 J. Aundrea: No, you know what?

No.

I've seen somebody have a pogo stick.

Was literally at my ex girlfriend's parents
house.

0:03:49 Bruce Anthony : I was in her garage
and they were.

0:03:58 J. Aundrea: Irish ancestry.

0:04:00 Bruce Anthony : Yeah.

0:04:02 J. Aundrea: And I saw some pogo sticks
in the garage and I tried to hop on one.

Almost broke my ankle to be on.

No pogo.

0:04:10 Bruce Anthony : It's not for us.

So I felt that this scavenger hunt.

0:04:14 J. Aundrea: Was culturally biased,
as most tests and games are.

0:04:19 Bruce Anthony : Yeah, but we got it
done.

But one of the items, long story short, one
of the items was an Xbox 360, which I'm like,

I don't even know if that's new.

0:04:34 J. Aundrea: Xbox 360 since 2014.

0:04:39 Bruce Anthony : I think the last thing
I played was a dream cast.

Is that still no, not making games.

There you go.

0:04:47 J. Aundrea: You're talking about the
old caliber.

0:04:48 Bruce Anthony : Yes, I am.

0:04:51 J. Aundrea: You all was good, and
then until my boy came over and started beating

everybody.

0:04:55 Bruce Anthony : That's the false sense
of security that you get playing with other

people who aren't also bad, terrible good,
and terrible comparison to what?

And then you get somebody who honestly mediocre
at it.

Crushed you.

Crushed you.

I don't think I ever played again.

0:05:22 J. Aundrea: Well, I don't know if
he was mediocre at it because he beat everybody.

0:05:26 Bruce Anthony : I want to say that
was the first time he played it.

0:05:29 J. Aundrea: No, it wasn't, because
we used to play it at our other boy's house

and he used to beat him so bad.

This is my other boy head.

I'm not going to put no names out there, but
they'll know who we're talking about when

they listen to the podcast.

He used to get so mad that he used to throw
his control.

So every time we would go over there and play
the games, we'd be like, that's your controller.

It used to rattle and everything.

0:05:52 J. Aundrea: She had busted up crews
in there.

0:05:56 Bruce Anthony : You don't get the
good one.

0:05:57 J. Aundrea: No, not when you're the
one throwing the controller.

Don't give me the controller.

You'd be slamming on the ground.

But back to the bigger point.

These companies, instead of giving you raises,
they treat us like elementary school children

and giving pizza parties and scabbage a hunch.

What's next?

You all going to have a field day.

0:06:13 Bruce Anthony : I just saw a TikTok
where a bunch of people who had applied to

a job I'm not going to say the job board,
but don't do that.

0:06:22 J. Aundrea: Because I'm not trying
to get through.

0:06:24 Bruce Anthony : It rhymes with in.

snead posted a job, a work from home job.

everybody's on the orientation with the recruiter
on a Zoom orientation.

And they find out that they have to pay the
employer $50 biweekly.

It will be taken out of their check to work
there.

0:06:47 J. Aundrea: Wait a minute.

0:06:48 Bruce Anthony : Yes.

0:06:48 J. Aundrea: Okay.

All right.

So I'm going back and there was a certain
retail big box store that I worked for that

at the time as a young adult in my college
years, I thought this was going to be my dream

job because I was really into electronics,
movies and video games.

So I got a job at this big box retail store
and they took out my work shirt out of my.

0:07:18 Bruce Anthony : First paycheck that
I feel like, fine.

This is a biweekly payment of $50 to work
there.

Yeah.

I don't know how.

I don't know.

And a lady on the zoom said, who was dying
laughing said, what in the cotton picking

plantation?

I'll send it to you because that.

0:07:50 J. Aundrea: One day maybe we did some
sponsors.

0:07:54 Bruce Anthony : I mean, I feel like
sponsors do not care.

A lot of my favorite podcasts, they have plenty
of sponsors cuss throughout the whole thing.

0:08:05 J. Aundrea: I know on certain ones,
like, I love one particular podcast.

I won't put the name out there.

0:08:11 Bruce Anthony : But they will say,
what podcast you love?

You're not disparaging the podcast?

0:08:18 J. Aundrea: Yes.

Dan levitar show.

0:08:21 Bruce Anthony : It's a hilarious show.

0:08:23 J. Aundrea: Do you still listen to
it from time to time?

0:08:26 Bruce Anthony : I do, yes.

0:08:28 J. Aundrea: Look, they are a comedy
show, but they say shit but every other bad

word faithfully found.

So I don't know if that's because of their
affiliation with the company that paid them

a lot of money or if that's just for podcast
rules.

I don't know.

But, yes, I have listened to a lot of bad
podcasts and they be cussing up a storm.

0:08:52 Bruce Anthony : Yeah, it might be
their own personal ethics.

Who knows?

0:08:55 J. Aundrea: Who knows?

0:08:56 Bruce Anthony : Plenty of podcasts
that are quite vulgar and I enjoy it.

0:09:02 J. Aundrea: Okay, so this is the difference
between me and you, right?

I know one day, hopefully consistently, mom
and dad will listen to this.

And, you know, I don't think that's.

0:09:14 Bruce Anthony : Not going to happen.

I'm going to let you know that right now,
mom and dad not even.

0:09:19 J. Aundrea: Going to listen to the
Happy Hour fridays with you.

0:09:22 Bruce Anthony : No.

0:09:23 J. Aundrea: What?

Dad already said my first interview he's really
excited to hear about because I told him what

the content was going to be about.

0:09:31 Bruce Anthony : Yeah, he's not going
to listen.

They're not going to listen.

We can truly say whatever we want.

And you know what?

Especially if you become popular.

They'll brag all day long.

We'll not have listened to a single episode.

Not all the way through.

momma has gone while she's cleaning 85% of
it.

0:09:58 J. Aundrea: Well, mom missed a lot
of stuff anyway.

0:10:01 Bruce Anthony : What happened?

0:10:02 J. Aundrea: What happened?

0:10:03 Bruce Anthony : If you are banking
on our parents in any way supporting you with

this beyond lip service, good luck.

0:10:13 J. Aundrea: Yeah, he's probably right
about that.

So we were talking last night and you were
talking about Abbott elementary and how you

need to hop on it, mean you have the same
sensibility when it comes to comedy and laughter

because you both like to laugh and joke around.

And then you said something in passing because
I told you how I had been binge watching young

sheldon.

You was like, also great.

I didn't know that you were a Young sheldon
fan.

And it's crazy because we talk all the time,
long periods of time, but I didn't know that

you were a Young sheldon fan.

0:10:41 Bruce Anthony : I feel like you did
know that.

I've been a fan of Big Bang Theory since it
started, and then I started watching Young

sheldon when it first came out.

It wasn't like a situation where I binged
it later.

I've been watching it.

0:10:59 J. Aundrea: Well, I watched Young
sheldon the first season because, like you,

I was also a fan of The Big Bang Theory, or
a fan of The Big Bang Theory, but I get into

these modes where when they go on hiatus and
then they come back, I'm not paying attention

to when they're dropping the next season.

So I missed the last three, four seasons of
Big Bang Theory.

0:11:21 Bruce Anthony : That's just a product
of our streaming culture now.

You know there's no TV Guide.

You don't get a TV Guide in the mail.

0:11:30 J. Aundrea: No, you don't.

0:11:31 Bruce Anthony : And you'd be real
excited, like, look what's coming on Thursday

at eight.

0:11:38 J. Aundrea: That fall.

TV Guide for all the kids out there listening.

TV Guide.

0:11:43 Bruce Anthony : You need 80s babies
out there.

You know what we're talking about.

0:11:46 J. Aundrea: Do not need babies.

0:11:48 Bruce Anthony : I mean, 80s babies
is when you were a baby in the 80s.

0:11:53 J. Aundrea: Yes, but TV Guide was
a weekly, monthly, weekly, a shit, I don't

know.

Anyway, it was a weekly magazine that told
you what TV shows were coming on at what time,

on what channel.

Now, I'm sure it went by the wayside when
the TV guy was basically in your cable box

and you didn't need to do that anymore, but
this is what we had.

And he used to give you updates on when the
new season was start, what new shows were

coming out, all that stuff.

And even sometimes I believe they would give
you a recap on certain shows of the previous

season because you go on those hiatuses for
the summer, you forget about everything that

pretty much happened the season before.

0:12:53 Bruce Anthony : Yes.

And that's when you get previously on.

0:12:58 J. Aundrea: Step by Step well, previously,
anytime you say previously, I'm always thinking

of previously on Power.

0:13:07 Bruce Anthony : You know I don't watch
black television.

0:13:12 J. Aundrea: You don't watch $0.50
drug dealing Marvel Universe.

0:13:15 Bruce Anthony : Let me tell you, I
watched maybe 15 minutes of that first episode.

Of what?

Power.

0:13:26 J. Aundrea: Of the original show power.

Because, you know, it's like Ford spin off
now.

0:13:30 Bruce Anthony : I do not care.

I watched the first episode of the first season
of the first the very first one.

0:13:40 J. Aundrea: First episode.

0:13:41 Bruce Anthony : It was bad.

I'll say that now because you made me put
my social media out there.

I'm probably going to get for sure.

I just set up black television.

It's a joke, by the way.

But it's too late.

It's out there.

You can't I can't take it back.

It's too late.

It's a joke.

0:14:13 J. Aundrea: Back to Young sheldon
and Big Bang Theory.

They heard this shows that I like to watch.

They just genuinely make me happy.

0:14:22 Bruce Anthony : Yes.

0:14:23 J. Aundrea: They tell they're good
stories, and they just genuinely make me happy.

Now, there are absolutely sad moments in certain
episodes.

Fresh Prints had the saddest moment in all
of comedic television.

If you don't want me, I still.

0:14:42 Bruce Anthony : Get choked up right
to this day.

0:14:46 J. Aundrea: Yeah.

Did you watch the new fresh prints that came
out?

0:14:54 Bruce Anthony : I didn't, and I always
meant to, and I didn't tell me I wasn't.

0:14:59 J. Aundrea: Missing anything because
I didn't watch it either.

0:15:01 Bruce Anthony : I don't know.

Because you know what?

Everybody I know loved it.

0:15:07 J. Aundrea: Let's just say your circle
and my circle my circle is a little bit more

diverse than your circle and the people that
you talk to.

0:15:17 Bruce Anthony : Yeah.

I mean, are you the fact that I don't have
white friends.

0:15:21 J. Aundrea: I'm referencing the fact
do you have anything other than black friends?

I think you got one latino friend.

0:15:26 Bruce Anthony : I have latino friends?

Yes.

0:15:30 J. Aundrea: You have some Asian friends?

0:15:32 Bruce Anthony : Yes.

0:15:33 J. Aundrea: Specifically, like, East
Asian?

0:15:37 Bruce Anthony : East Asian and South
Asian.

0:15:41 J. Aundrea: All right.

Just no white friend?

0:15:47 Bruce Anthony : No.

I don't know where they are.

This is not because I'm racist or anything.

I honestly don't know where they are.

0:15:56 J. Aundrea: I mean, white people literally
everywhere.

0:15:58 Bruce Anthony : Are they?

Listen, I live in bankhead in Atlanta.

There's no white people here.

I don't know where they are.

I don't know where they hang out.

The library.

0:16:11 J. Aundrea: You can find the library.

0:16:13 Bruce Anthony : The black people,
you can go to black awareness rally.

0:16:16 J. Aundrea: You can go to grocery
store Target.

0:16:22 Bruce Anthony : I don't know if I
want to hang out with Target whites.

0:16:25 J. Aundrea: No, you don't want to
hang out with Walmart whites.

Now you're talking about getting a text.

We better get a text.

By the way, I shop at Walmart because it's
cheaper than Target.

0:16:39 Bruce Anthony : Now, you're canceled
have just turned this off.

0:16:45 J. Aundrea: Well, no, I shop at both
of them, but if I have my choice, I will go

to Walmart because it's a little bit cheap.

And by the way, I am buying the Walmart and
Target brand knock off the stuff that I want.

0:16:59 Bruce Anthony : There's nothing wrong
with the generic.

I will buy generic cvs, generic, publics,
I don't care.

There is nothing wrong.

If I can take generic medication, I can buy
cvs brand sugar.

0:17:14 J. Aundrea: Ain't nothing wrong with
cvs brand sugar.

I'll go you one better.

I'll go you one better.

Aldi.

You all have aldi down in the atl?

0:17:21 Bruce Anthony : Yes.

0:17:22 J. Aundrea: Okay, aldi got their copycat
version of the Girl scout cook.

Now, you just told me I'm buying something.

And let me tell you something.

Girl scout cookies.

I know what they are.

Which one?

0:17:38 Bruce Anthony : The peanut butter
ones.

The peanut butter cook.

0:17:40 J. Aundrea: They got them.

And they got the samoas, too, because, you
know, samoas is mine.

Plus $52 Girl scout cookies going for crack
prices for whole breaks of cocaine price.

0:17:54 Bruce Anthony : They're really gotten
a lot more.

I mean, granted, I was a Girl scout in 1990,
okay?

So you all can do that math, but inflation
has hit Girl scout.

I spend a coop every year on Girl scout.

Good.

0:18:17 J. Aundrea: But you know what's?

The ex wife of bezos just donated crazy amount
of money to the Girl scouts of America.

0:18:27 Bruce Anthony : That's awesome.

0:18:30 J. Aundrea: But I saw it on Twitter,
right?

You know how Twitter is.

Twitter is that and everybody is always in
somebody else's pocket.

0:18:37 Bruce Anthony : She donated all that
money to Girl scouts.

0:18:39 J. Aundrea: What about this and that?

She's listen, donated a lot of money to a
lot of different causes.

0:18:45 Bruce Anthony : Yeah.

People are capable of doing more than one
thing at a time.

We can walk and chew gum at the same time.

Some people, but definitely that rich.

heifer.

She definitely why don't you got to.

0:19:03 J. Aundrea: Be a heifer, though?

0:19:04 Bruce Anthony : I mean, that's a term
of endearment for the rich community.

For the rich.

0:19:10 J. Aundrea: No, in the black community.

0:19:14 Bruce Anthony : Not in the black community.

I would say in the poor community, of which
I remember.

0:19:24 J. Aundrea: The way the economy is
set up, it's 1% and the other 99% keeping

their head above water, just like James of
Florida from vidanta.

0:19:33 Bruce Anthony : No.

I'm throwing the ball on the ground, and it's
damn, damn, damn.

I'm not above the water.

I'm looking up at the surface of the water,
and I'm like, how the hell do I get up there?

0:19:52 J. Aundrea: You need a floaty.

0:19:53 Bruce Anthony : I am about to die.

0:19:56 J. Aundrea: Since you brought up the
topic of race, as I do, kanye, I know you

didn't want to talk about this.

I don't understand.

It's not important.

I think it's extremely important.

0:20:12 Bruce Anthony : That's not what I
meant.

He's not important.

I think the conversations around antisemitism
antisemitism in the black community, anti

black racism, anti black racism within the
black community, these are important topics

that we need to talk about, because there's
a lot of times people think about black people

as a monolith.

We're not.

And that's why we do not have a unified black
agenda.

We're not a monolith.

0:20:46 Bruce Anthony : And people like to
culture black lives.

Yeah, I mean, nobody but a lot of times, people
like Black Lives Matter.

Everybody all the black and I'm just like,
we're not a monopoly.

Everybody is entitled to their own opinion.

0:21:06 J. Aundrea: Got a lot of opinion.

0:21:08 Bruce Anthony : We do.

And even if it's stupid and you are entitled
to your own opinion, I think people really

need to read the Constitution.

There's a lot of people haven't because they
are not clear on what free speech is.

0:21:25 J. Aundrea: I have no idea.

0:21:28 Bruce Anthony : They think that it
means I can say whatever I want, and that's

absolutely not what it means.

That's absolutely not what it means.

0:21:37 J. Aundrea: Yes, no, and yes.

It's that the government can't shut down your
speech.

0:21:43 Bruce Anthony : Right?

I can I'm not the government.

0:21:46 J. Aundrea: No, hold on.

That's saying that it's not saying you can't
say whatever you want.

Say whatever you want.

There's consequences.

0:21:56 Bruce Anthony : You're going to get
a full ride to Deeshands University.

0:21:59 J. Aundrea: Well, tanya is getting
an extreme ride.

0:22:03 Bruce Anthony : That hasn't been downgraded
ford's list.

0:22:06 J. Aundrea: He's no longer a billionaire.

Had to close the school.

0:22:12 Bruce Anthony : The fact it was open,
right.

0:22:14 J. Aundrea: As a person who has who
went to school to be a teacher, went into

that classroom and realized at the age of
22, oh, this ain't for me, but still wanted

to be a part of the education system, I'm
offended that he had his school in the first

place.

Don't get me wrong.

One of my favorite basketball players, jalen
Road, at the jalen Road Academy, I believe

it is, in Detroit, ministon doing great things.

lebron has done fantastic things for his school.

There's nothing wrong with charter school
because the way some of these government officials

are changing the education system as far as
what you are allowed to learn in the school,

maybe a charter school is the best way to
go to get a well rounded education, but I'm.

0:23:02 Bruce Anthony : Home schooling my
kids.

0:23:04 J. Aundrea: Well, not in math.

We know you're not going to do it in math.

0:23:09 Bruce Anthony : Listen, they're going
to be at home in school.

I never said I'm teaching you.

0:23:16 J. Aundrea: You just said you broke.

Who's going to be teaching?

0:23:20 Bruce Anthony : You got to figure
it out.

0:23:24 J. Aundrea: That cuban that we was
in works for me.

No, I mean this kind of situation.

Once again, I have a diverse friend group.

A diverse people friend group.

That's a large stretch.

I have a diverse group of people that I associate
with, who I'm friendly with.

I got a small circle that I actually call
friends, but I am friendly with.

0:23:55 Bruce Anthony : Just say you have
diverse friends, it's fine.

0:23:58 J. Aundrea: But, you know, there's
levels to friendship.

0:24:00 Bruce Anthony : We don't have to get
into that argument.

A diverse group of people that you know.

0:24:10 J. Aundrea: Yes, I have a diverse
people that I know that are converse with

about different things because I'm naturally
curious about people and what they believe

because I feel like you can learn something
from everybody.

And they're like, why do I see some black
people defending kanye?

And I try to break it down for them, but I
don't think that I do a good job of it sometimes.

0:24:37 Bruce Anthony : What do you tell them?

0:24:39 J. Aundrea: Basically, I tell them,
look, a lot of black people do not believe

what kanye is saying.

They disagree with it.

However, kanye as a black man are saying stuff
that other white men have said and haven't

been canceled.

And us as a black community, whether right
or wrong, and each situation is supposed to

be treated differently, but we just pretty
much put a blanket over it.

If you attack us, any one of us, we're going
to rise up a defense.

It's something that we do.

We defend it.

There are people that still defend Bill cosby
and R. Kelly, and I'm a victim of it because

I love Michael Jackson and I won't watch that
documentary.

I just don't believe that he did it.

But also do I not want to believe that he
did it.

Probably a little something in that, too,
because I feel like he was being attacked.

So naturally, we see a black man being attacked
for something that white people have absolutely

done and being completely canceled for.

0:25:46 J. Aundrea: You're going to get some
black people who are going to defend them

even though he is absolutely, completely wrong
and we do not agree with him.

I can't stress that enough.

I think I don't agree with anything that he
has said and done.

Going all the way back to George Bush doesn't
like black people, whether that's true or

not.

0:26:05 Bruce Anthony : George goes to Michelle
Obama.

0:26:08 J. Aundrea: No, he doesn't like he
loves Michelle, loves Michelle, loves Michelle.

But kanye is kind of like when he jumped up
on stage and did that thing to Taylor Swift.

Like, no, that's not cool.

What are you doing, bro?

And we don't support that.

But has he said anything different than what
the former president of the United States

has done?

And there are nazis legitimately in a certain
political party, and those same people that

are attacking kanye and canceling him for
the things that he is saying are the same

people that will vote for politicians who
have nazis and white supremacists supporting

them.

0:26:56 J. Aundrea: So there's a contradiction
there.

And as black people, we look at, once again,
this is another situation where the system

is treating a black man differently than a
white man should be universal.

kanye should be canceled.

Everybody else that says what he said, no
matter what race, religion, pre, ethnicity,

gender, all that stuff, should be canceled.

They canceled kaye, everything.

They took down his mural in Chicago.

0:27:26 J. Aundrea: They painted over his
face.

And I agree that that should be happening,
but also hold everybody to the same standard

in which they're holding Congress and punish
them the exact same, which you that's my point

of view.

That's a long winded version of saying black
people going to defend other black people

when they feel like they're being mistreated
by white people.

0:27:55 Bruce Anthony : Yeah, I mean, black
people, like anyone else, are not exempt from

being partisan.

What I will say is I typically hear that argument
from people on any side, right?

My person did this.

Yeah, but what about the other people who
haven't?

Listen, we can hold two truths at the same
time.

One, that he's a piece of shit.

And two, consequences should be equitable.

We can hold those to be true at the same time.

0:28:41 Bruce Anthony : And this is the same
reason that we say black lives matter.

It is not to diminish other lives.

But there is a particular urgency and imperative
right now because black lives are being lost.

There's a particular urgency and imperative
right now to talk about kanye because he's

being so vocal antisemitic and anti black
right now.

Okay?

So we can still believe that consequences
for everyone who propagates white supremacy

and hate, right?

And prejudice and racism and antisemitism
and homophobia and sexism and all of the things

we can hold that that's true, that we want
consequences for that to be equitable while

still saying, but there's an imperative right
now to talk about this particular thing or

to focus on this particular thing.

0:29:40 Bruce Anthony : I hear you.

Your life matters 100%.

But right now we're dying.

So there's a particular imperative to talk
about black lives.

Right?

There is islamophobia in the world.

Right?

But there's a particular urgency to talk about
antisemitism right now because of the rise

of these white nationalists and neo Nazi hate
groups.

Right?

0:30:10 J. Aundrea: Let's be clear.

It's not a rise.

They've always been here.

0:30:13 Bruce Anthony : They're just more
vulnerable and visible.

Right?

But I will also say again, this goes back
to black people not being a monolith, and

it goes back to the ways in which we have
learned to cope with racism in this country.

And that's either by buying into the system
or attempting to subvert it, or to remain

complacent in all of the above.

Right.

I lost my train of thought.

0:30:54 J. Aundrea: Look, also, by the way,
this is supposed to be a happy hour.

We're supposed to be having a drink.

Not a drink.

I'm cutting chain even high right now.

0:31:04 Bruce Anthony : I'm not high right
now.

I'm going to get high.

0:31:08 J. Aundrea: I'm going to get high,
too, after this.

0:31:10 Bruce Anthony : I wanted to be sober
for this.

I wanted to take it seriously.

0:31:15 J. Aundrea: You can take it well,
I do.

0:31:17 Bruce Anthony : Think no, I'd have
been talking about I get weed thoughts like,

yes, you do.

Like, the future doesn't actually exist because
we never reach it.

0:31:30 J. Aundrea: Okay?

0:31:31 Bruce Anthony : We're always only
in the present.

And what separates humans from other animals
is that we can imagine the abstraction that

is the future.

And we can also, when you go through a doorway,
you're both entering and exiting simultaneously.

See, that's the kind of shit that's where
my mind goes.

And so if you want me to stay focused on topic,
we'll wait after this.

0:32:06 J. Aundrea: One day, we'll film we'll
do this, and then we'll do the bts, right?

We'll do the behind the scene where we both
hide.

0:32:14 Bruce Anthony : I thought you were
talking about the Korean pop group, which

no, you know what?

I'm not going to get into it.

0:32:21 J. Aundrea: Because then no, we still
own kanye.

You switching subjects.

We still don't finish your thought.

Right.

I'm going to talk to be like, you know what,
Jay?

I'm done with this conversation right now.

0:32:34 Bruce Anthony : Yeah, well, what I
was saying, going back to what you said, is

that holding everybody to the same standard.

What you're talking about is equity.

And that's what we've been talking, that's
the purpose of all these movements is equity.

That's the purpose of all of it is equity.

0:32:51 J. Aundrea: Inequality.

0:32:52 Bruce Anthony : It's different than
equality.

It's different than equality.

And that's a whole other conversation.

The difference between equity and equality
and why we want equity and not equality, but

holding everyone to the same standard, everybody
being on a level playing field, everybody

having the same access, and everybody facing
the same consequences.

Yes, in a perfect world, obviously, that's
what we want, but that's not the world that

we're living in right now.

0:33:21 Bruce Anthony : Okay?

And it's okay to have a list of things that
are important and then prioritize that list

and then talk about these things based on
the priority.

For example, right now well, right now, forever,
this is wage gap between genders, and then

it also stratifies out between races and things
like that.

Right.

And that is extremely important to talk about.

Definitely important to white women.

But we have another imperative, the restriction
of bodily autonomy or the revoking of bodily

autonomy for women and the restriction of
abortion.

Right.

0:34:10 Bruce Anthony : That's a little more
important.

Yeah.

The other stuff is on the list.

It's on the list.

There's a damn list.

There's a list.

Okay.

So for right now, I don't think that it is
helpful or even important to talk about holding

everyone to the same standard.

Right now, we need to talk about what rhetoric
like kanye's, what speech, hate speech like,

him and his ilk, Candace owens, all those
he's not the only black person out there.

0:34:51 Bruce Anthony : Okay.

0:34:51 J. Aundrea: We could talk about candace
was running a hustle.

Well, candice was specifically running a hustle
on kanye because kanye was thinking about

buying parlor.

She's looking for relevancy, which her husband
owns.

And she's also like the one that's in his
ear about all this stuff.

0:35:15 Bruce Anthony : Right.

0:35:15 J. Aundrea: Hold on.

I have to make a point.

When I was talking about how I explain to
people that asked me why black people will

defend kanye, I was explaining why some black
people would defend the kanye.

I did not state that was my position.

0:35:38 Bruce Anthony : Right?

0:35:38 J. Aundrea: My position is punishment
for all.

But hey, that's just me.

I believe it should be punishment for all.

But back to your point.

I think this is the difference between our
generation and this generation is coming up

behind who I absolutely love.

I love this generation is coming up behind
Gen Z are incrementalist.

We are just like, okay, starting with Mark
luther King.

We want the right to vote.

We want the right to go to the restaurant.

0:36:09 J. Aundrea: That's a small step.

That's not really asking for a whole lot.

Damn if it wasn't a hard fight.

So when we came along, we were like, you know
what?

We want to get paid a little bit better.

We want a little bit better treatment from
the police.

It's like, come on, they're a little small
step.

This generation behind us is saying, the hell
with all of that.

You're going to give me what I deserve.

Now, all of it throws some of the older generation
off by saying, that's not how you do things.

But you know what?

0:36:38 J. Aundrea: Through that, they might.

Be right, because we were given a president
that wasn't even 100% black.

He was black and white.

And all this stuff that's been happening over
the last 16 years, almost since 2008, the

rise of the Tea Party, the rise of far right
nationalism, it's.

0:37:06 Bruce Anthony : All white supremacy
and white nationalism.

That's all.

We can just put it under that blanket.

0:37:11 J. Aundrea: All of that has been because
of a black man became the most powerful man

in the country.

And what did he do?

What did he do?

I have some people that I know I'm friendly
with, and I say his name, and their face crunches

up, and they're white, and I'm like, what
is your main problem with them?

He's a socialist.

I was like, hold on.

We have socialist policies already in place.

What did he really try to do?

0:37:35 J. Aundrea: He tried to give everybody
affordable health care.

Well, it's not affordable.

It's not affordable because everybody didn't
buy in.

Let's just be real.

He was getting lawsuits from states from the
beginning.

Everybody did not buy in, or else everybody
would have affordable health care.

0:37:53 Bruce Anthony : There's no reason
why we're one of the only industrialized nations

in this world without access to free health
care.

0:38:01 J. Aundrea: I will say some of these
places that have free health care is more

of a reaction to your health, and we're more
of preemptive.

Our healthcare system does more of trying
to prevent certain things.

Why some of these you go for health care systems
in other countries.

You got it.

We'll help you take care of it.

They're not really doing.

0:38:27 Bruce Anthony : I haven't done any
research on this.

0:38:29 J. Aundrea: I've done just a little
bit of research, but that's been the argument,

in fact, of the matter is the cost of health
insurance company more?

They've been screwing us for years.

There is no reason there is no reason in this
country what what was the richest country,

but still one of the richest countries in
the world.

There's no reason why somebody should go in
debt to try and save their life.

0:38:52 Bruce Anthony : Yeah.

0:38:53 J. Aundrea: Period.

0:38:54 Bruce Anthony : Let's talk about death
panels.

0:38:56 J. Aundrea: And he wore a gray suit.

These are the things that they were complaining
about.

0:39:00 Bruce Anthony : He was a tan suit,
and it was Easter, and it was appropriate,

and.

0:39:06 J. Aundrea: He was styling in it.

0:39:07 Bruce Anthony : Yes.

0:39:07 J. Aundrea: Now, conversely, the man
that came behind him talking about shithole

country, talking about perfectly fine people
on both sides talking about stand back, stand

by for all those people that are on there
that talk about conservative value in the

Lord and faith and religion.

0:39:30 Bruce Anthony : Yeah, it's bullshit.

Sorry.

0:39:32 J. Aundrea: One person was actually
married to his wife the entire time.

Another person had received wife multiple
divorce, married to marlow.

I don't know.

He got a kid by though he had a kid out of
wedlock.

Got a kid out of wedlock.

The rise of this hatred all stems from that.

And in a lot of his policies, he was an incrementalist.

He's taking small steps.

He didn't do anything drastic.

And we still got all this backlash.

So the hell with this.

Young generation is saying, no, we want it
all.

We want it all right now, and we're not waiting
around for it.

You're going to give it to us and guess.

0:40:18 J. Aundrea: I don't know what the
midterm are going to be.

I don't know how it's going to turn out.

That's what they keep saying.

But also, young people are mad and angry.

And if the midterms aren't good for a certain
political party Democrat, it's going to be

a lot different from next presidential election
because a lot of these kids are in school.

They'll be eligible to vote for next presidential
election.

You got a lot of kids walking because of certain
policies, more specifically transgender policies

that are harming the transgender community.

0:40:59 J. Aundrea: These kids are not going
for it.

0:41:02 Bruce Anthony : I would be careful
because this is what they do to black people.

And again, we're not a monolith.

I would be careful talking about young people
as if they're all liberals, because they're

not.

There's a lot of very angry, white supremacist
young people.

0:41:18 J. Aundrea: Really?

What's the boy that got off of that murder?

0:41:25 Bruce Anthony : Which one?

0:41:27 J. Aundrea: Right?

And waco.

0:41:31 Bruce Anthony : Yes.

0:41:32 J. Aundrea: Shit.

0:41:32 Bruce Anthony : What was that kid's
name?

0:41:35 J. Aundrea: We do this.

We really need to have a laptop so we can
Google search.

0:41:39 Bruce Anthony : I am.

He's the problem.

I don't know how to spell Wakosha.

0:41:45 J. Aundrea: I keep thinking Dylan
Roof, but that was the boy in South Carolina.

0:41:48 Bruce Anthony : Yeah, I don't know
how to spell Wakosha.

0:41:52 J. Aundrea: Just type in white boy
got off for that murder.

No, namor is not white, so I.

0:42:01 Bruce Anthony : Don'T think that well,
his name was darryl Brooks.

No, Wakosha.

You're thinking about the Christmas parade
attack.

That was the black dude who ran a bunch of
people down the SUV.

He's now representing himself.

And I don't know if you've seen any of that
trial, but it is hilarious.

0:42:21 J. Aundrea: All right, first of all,
let me apologize to the people of kosha.

It was the wrong race.

That black man put under the jail.

0:42:30 Bruce Anthony : Just going to say
that, yeah, he needs to go underneath it.

I don't know.

White kid.

White kid with a gun.

0:42:42 J. Aundrea: Honestly, white kid, the
one that was crying on the witness stand and

got away with it.

He shot the people during the protest.

And this is going to bug the hell out of me.

And this is really not the right way to do
a podcast, but this wasn't one of the topics

that I had planned.

We went off on a tangent, and I want to keep
saying Dylan Roof, but that was the boy in

South Carolina, kenosha Lakosha.

kenosha.

What was his name?

0:43:12 Bruce Anthony : His name was cowritten
House.

I didn't remember that.

Said that name like a million times.

Kyle written house.

kenosha.

0:43:22 J. Aundrea: Kenosha.

0:43:26 Bruce Anthony : And honestly, I don't
know if I'm even pronouncing Wacosha correctly.

Probably not, because it came I tried to Google
it.

I got wakanda first, and then wachovia exists
no more.

I don't know what wachovia bank is now.

Wells fargo.

0:43:46 J. Aundrea: I thought you were talking
about Sokovia which was that fake country

that's the avengers.

0:43:51 Bruce Anthony : That's not the same.

0:43:52 J. Aundrea: That was the age of all
trial.

Black panther was an avenger.

0:43:56 Bruce Anthony : He was all coming
full circle.

0:44:00 J. Aundrea: Right?

Are you excited about a Black panther fabric?

0:44:04 Bruce Anthony : Extremely.

0:44:05 J. Aundrea: Wakanda fabric?

0:44:07 Bruce Anthony : Yeah, extremely.

Are we done with kanye?

Are we done?

0:44:14 J. Aundrea: Unless you had any more
thoughts.

0:44:16 Bruce Anthony : Well, I did have a
question.

I'm not going to read the whole Tweet.

I think everybody knows what the tweet says.

I just want to know why Defcon Three?

Like, there's five defcons and he chose three.

0:44:32 J. Aundrea: Well, what's the difference
between the Defcon?

0:44:34 Bruce Anthony : Well, now I think
the top one yeah.

def.

Con Three.

Meaning.

0:44:47 J. Aundrea: Sorry, first episode.

First episode.

0:44:51 Bruce Anthony : First episode.

Here's the thing, because I'm on a Mac, even
though I have the sound turned off on my phone,

my computer still rings.

0:45:02 J. Aundrea: I don't have a mac.

0:45:07 Bruce Anthony : Yes, it still rings.

0:45:08 J. Aundrea: I got an hp that worked
for me.

0:45:11 Bruce Anthony : So Defcon, first of
all, he spelled it wrong.

It's not defcon.

It's def.

D-E-F.

As in I thought he did spell it D-E-F.

No, he spelled it D-E-A-T-H.

He spelled death.

0:45:27 J. Aundrea: He spelled death con.

That sounds like a movie star.

timothy bronson from Death Wish.

I don't think that was his name.

But people out there that's my age, they understand.

0:45:41 Bruce Anthony : Like Death Wish and
Con Air the Sequel.

0:45:45 J. Aundrea: Well, no, hold on.

You can't talk bad about Con Air.

0:45:49 Bruce Anthony : Con Air was good.

0:45:55 J. Aundrea: I've never seen any of
the deaf wishes.

0:46:00 Bruce Anthony : But anyway, it's Defcon
for defense readiness condition.

So defcon one is cocked pistol.

That means nuclear war is imminent, or it
has already begun.

Defcon is fast paced.

It's the next step to nuclear war.

Defcon Three is roundhouse.

Increase enforce readiness above that required
for normal readiness.

0:46:33 J. Aundrea: I don't know what that
means.

You gearing up in defcon two and one.

0:46:43 Bruce Anthony : No, by the time you
get to one, nuclear war is already it's nuclear

war.

It's not regular ass war.

I would say Defcon Three is probably regular
ass war.

0:46:57 J. Aundrea: So it's going backwards.

All right.

0:47:03 Bruce Anthony : Defcon Five is the
lowest state of readiness.

You would think it would go up, but it doesn't.

0:47:11 J. Aundrea: Right.

Okay.

0:47:12 Bruce Anthony : Is the most intense.

We all going to die.

Five is we're ready in case.

0:47:20 J. Aundrea: So three is.

0:47:24 Bruce Anthony : Increased force readiness
above that required for normal readiness.

So instead of, like, the cops going out, they're
going out in riot gear.

So it's a step above normal readiness.

Yeah.

0:47:38 J. Aundrea: Okay.

0:47:38 Bruce Anthony : So he's just like,
I usually got my dukes up, but now I got brass

knuckles on.

0:47:44 J. Aundrea: Right.

I still don't understand.

What was his original plan?

What was his action going to be?

def con.

The way he spelled it.

def con.

0:47:57 Bruce Anthony : Yeah.

Nothing.

0:47:58 J. Aundrea: Okay.

0:47:59 Bruce Anthony : Nothing as far as
I know.

It was just a very anti semitic thing to say.

0:48:05 J. Aundrea: I will say it took a little
while longer than I expected.

I commented on he's absolutely being canceled.

It took a little while for certain companies
to jump on board and be like, yeah, no, we

need to do that.

adidas took a long little while.

0:48:21 Bruce Anthony : Listen, those shoes
have made them a lot of money.

hideous shoes.

y'all are dumb.

0:48:26 J. Aundrea: Yeah, I don't understand
it.

They're not Jordan.

0:48:30 Bruce Anthony : Jordan ugly, and they
come in ugly colors, and they are ugly, and

they don't even look comfortable.

And you're not going to lie to me and tell
me that they're comfortable and you all paid

a lot of money from ugly shoes.

0:48:46 J. Aundrea: Hold on.

Now.

0:48:47 Bruce Anthony : What?

0:48:47 J. Aundrea: I will say this.

I have a favorite pair of shoes.

I got a lot of pairs of them.

I just said the brand not to piss off the
brand, because maybe one day they might want

to be a sponsor, send me some free shoes.

But they're not comfortable.

And the reason why they're not comfortable
is because of the way you walk in to make

sure that you don't scuff them up.

0:49:07 Bruce Anthony : Right.

0:49:08 J. Aundrea: But I also absolutely
wouldn't play ball in certain ones that they

have.

Certain ones that they have are comfortable
to play ball in, but certain ones that they

have I don't know how the person that the
shoe is based off of played ball and the issue

and dropped to three points in the playoff
game.

I don't know how he did it.

0:49:30 Bruce Anthony : No cartilage in his
feet.

Is there ever cartilage in anyone's feet?

If there is, he ain't got no more of it.

ligament torn.

0:49:40 J. Aundrea: There are ligaments in
your foot and bone and tissue.

Is there cartilage?

0:49:47 Bruce Anthony : Yes.

0:49:48 J. Aundrea: Maybe.

I don't know.

0:49:49 Bruce Anthony : I don't know.

0:49:51 J. Aundrea: Some medical person out
there will come out there and be like, yes,

it's cartilage.

How do you not know that?

Because I don't know.

0:49:56 Bruce Anthony : Because I'm not a
goddamn podiatrist.

0:49:59 J. Aundrea: I did not do well in bodily
I don't the only science I did well in physics,

and don't ask me how I did well in it.

I don't know.

0:50:09 Bruce Anthony : I did well in chemistry.

0:50:12 J. Aundrea: Didn't you and Adam take
chemistry together in college?

0:50:17 Bruce Anthony : You could say that
in that we were in the same class.

But did we take it together?

I mean, I don't know.

I just did really well, and he wasn't going
to be a chemist, and that's all.

0:50:36 J. Aundrea: Okay, for those of you
out there, listen to the podcast.

There's an age dynamic.

There's three of us, and there's an age dynamic
between the oldest I'm the oldest, j follows

in the middle.

The only girl, she's four years behind me.

Almost exactly four years.

It's like a month and a week.

Four years, a month and a week.

And then the younger brother, the youngest
is another brother who is a year and a half

behind you.

0:51:05 Bruce Anthony : Yes, yes.

0:51:06 J. Aundrea: It's five and a half years
behind me.

So the only time that me and jade ever went
to school together was in elementary school.

We never went to school together.

In middle school.

High school, I graduated.

She comes into high school the following year.

But they always went to school together.

0:51:20 Bruce Anthony : Yes.

0:51:21 J. Aundrea: Literally.

Elementary, middle, high school, college.

0:51:28 Bruce Anthony : Except our fourth.

We went to different and then we got a job
at the same company, right?

Yeah.

I'm ready for a change.

0:51:46 J. Aundrea: But there are pictures
where they're almost like twins.

I mean, one's darker and one's lighter.

We're not going to talk about how.

0:51:53 Bruce Anthony : We don't have to get
colorism back.

0:51:55 J. Aundrea: We're not going to do
colorism.

0:51:58 Bruce Anthony : We don't do colorism
in 22.

We're not doing it well.

0:52:02 J. Aundrea: We're about to be in 2023.

And I keep forgetting we're about to be in
2023 because the pandemic that screwed up

everything.

0:52:08 Bruce Anthony : I don't know what's
anything anymore, but I'm going to tell you,

I like that my old habit of not going outside
is now acceptable to everyone, but my therapist.

0:52:27 J. Aundrea: Is acceptable now because
the pain is over.

That's what they say.

0:52:33 Bruce Anthony : It's not.

0:52:34 J. Aundrea: It really is not, but
that's what they say.

Do you wear your mask all the time now?

0:52:38 Bruce Anthony : All the time.

No.

0:52:40 J. Aundrea: Yeah, I go to the gym
and I go to one of those big gym, and I don't

wear my mask.

Probably the reason why I had covered on my
birthday.

0:52:47 Bruce Anthony : You did?

And it's yeah, and you know what?

It's the people who still haven't experienced
it personally that talk all this bull about

COVID nothing to the flu.

Yeah.

0:53:03 J. Aundrea: All right, well, I had
a client that caught it and went through hell.

She went through hell, but then was like,
it's nothing more than the flu.

I was like, Ms. ma'am, I didn't see you for
two weeks.

And we do things virtually come on now.

0:53:23 Bruce Anthony : No, that's covered
amnesia.

It's like that thing of, like, women or like,
people with uteruses who've given birth.

0:53:31 J. Aundrea: Okay.

0:53:35 Bruce Anthony : I got to be specific
because trans men can give birth.

Non binary folks can give birth.

People with uteruses who've given birth, and
they're just like, it's just beautiful.

And at the end, you have this little baby,
and that's bull.

That's bull.

0:53:51 J. Aundrea: Which labor is different
because I do know some women who have given

birth to, you know, separate children, and
they've been like, you know, this birth was

hard, but this birth just came off.

0:54:03 Bruce Anthony : Giving birth to the
same child.

0:54:07 J. Aundrea: Meaning that they have
more than one child got you given birth.

0:54:12 Bruce Anthony : Right.

0:54:13 J. Aundrea: The children are sibling.

One sibling.

Our own mother says that.

0:54:19 Bruce Anthony : Yeah.

It's a lie.

0:54:21 J. Aundrea: No, she said, well, we're
not going to put my mom's business out there,

so let's move on.

I'm just saying she'll be mad if we put out
there.

0:54:31 Bruce Anthony : There are times you
go through things and you come out the other

side, and just because you made it.

You forgot how hard it was.

But me, I never forget.

I remember every cough.

I remember everybody ate.

I remember 100% of everything I've ever gone
through.

0:54:52 J. Aundrea: That relates to COVID.

0:54:54 Bruce Anthony : That relates to COVID,
because you do.

0:54:56 J. Aundrea: Not remember everything
that you've ever gone through.

Because I'd be like, hey, the only thing that
you really remember is that time I threw that

cup at your head.

0:55:03 Bruce Anthony : I do remember that.

It wasn't funny at the time.

I was embarrassed.

0:55:10 J. Aundrea: No, you laughed.

The story is it bounced off.

The story is I don't know what we were fighting
about.

0:55:18 Bruce Anthony : Don't know.

0:55:19 J. Aundrea: Me and my sister were
fighting, and I couldn't have been any more

than ten years old.

0:55:23 Bruce Anthony : I was definitely a
child.

Yes.

A small child.

Yes.

0:55:28 J. Aundrea: You were like six or seven,
and I was like ten or eleven.

And she pissed me off.

So I grabbed one of those little plastic kid
juice cuts.

This one happened to be pink.

And I chucked it across the room and hit her
square in the forehead.

Now, this is not a video podcast, so you don't
know what my sister looks like, but she has

a case of giganticism of the head.

0:55:52 Bruce Anthony : I don't her head is
really big, normal proportion.

0:55:55 J. Aundrea: Her head is bigger than
gina water.

And for those of you who don't know gina Water,
then I really don't.

0:56:01 Bruce Anthony : Know why you look
for shame.

0:56:03 J. Aundrea: Right.

0:56:05 Bruce Anthony : There will be a ton
of Martin references.

0:56:09 J. Aundrea: Absolutely.

And I threw the cup that hit her square in
the forehead, and the cup bounced off of her

forehead and came directly back towards me.

Clear across the room.

0:56:21 Bruce Anthony : Yeah.

0:56:22 J. Aundrea: At first she was crying.

I was laughing because of how far the cup
came back.

And then she had to start laughing.

0:56:32 Bruce Anthony : It was pretty funny.

0:56:33 J. Aundrea: They got some distance,
all the distance.

0:56:36 Bruce Anthony : It did.

0:56:37 J. Aundrea: If it was an Olympic sport,
I won goal.

0:56:40 Bruce Anthony : I can't even lie.

It cleared the room across the room.

0:56:47 J. Aundrea: Now, the room wasn't big.

0:56:48 Bruce Anthony : The room was not that
big, but.

0:56:51 J. Aundrea: It cleared the room.

0:56:52 Bruce Anthony : Yeah.

0:56:54 J. Aundrea: Well, this has been a
long podcast.

I don't want to run too long.

As our grandmother used to say, I don't want
to take up too much of your time.

0:57:02 Bruce Anthony : I'm going to go ahead
and let you go.

0:57:04 J. Aundrea: We'll go ahead and let
you go.

Is there any parting things that you want
to say?

Points that you can get across from things
that we were talking about?

You just want to make clear, hey, this is
what my stance is.

Don't act me or you cool.

I don't remember anything that feels like
me to be clean up.

0:57:22 Bruce Anthony : No, I mean, I stand
by 100% of the things that I say.

I don't say nothing.

I don't mean I don't have white friends.

But again, it's not because I don't want them.

I don't know where they are.

And so if you live in the Atlanta area and
you're white, and you would like a black friend.

I'm in my mid 30s.

0:57:47 J. Aundrea: I'm not racist.

I have a black friend.

I think you need to describe that a little
bit better than what you just did.

0:57:58 Bruce Anthony : If you want to diversify
your friend group but still feel pretty safe,

I am quite like.

0:58:06 J. Aundrea: That'S not the pretty
safe part.

I call my sister the extreme black feminist.

So in that regard they're not going to feel
safe because you're going to.

0:58:16 Bruce Anthony : Be like feminist is
to be inherently extreme because we live in

a world that treats black women like they
ain't worth a damn while, simultaneously consuming

every single thing that we produce, even our
bodies.

0:58:33 J. Aundrea: And by the way, as big
of a fan I am of young sheldon and I am a

fan of that show.

I think every character is perfectly cast,
by the way.

You know, the grandmother is the secretary
or the assistant from ghostbusters, the original

ghostbusters janine.

0:58:49 Bruce Anthony : Yeah.

0:58:50 J. Aundrea: By the way, she has aged
incredibly well.

She looks fantastic incredibly well.

I didn't realize that she was 70 years old.

0:58:59 Bruce Anthony : The mom is the daughter
of the actress that plays his mother on big.

0:59:05 J. Aundrea: Bang fairy and also Roseanne's
sister.

0:59:08 Bruce Anthony : Yes.

0:59:11 J. Aundrea: But as I make a point
how much I enjoy young sheldon, how perfectly

cast it is just like friends to show who I'm
a fan of is a rip off from living single.

We all know this young sheldon is nothing
more than a rip off.

A smart guy.

0:59:34 Bruce Anthony : I would agree with
that.

I would agree with that.

0:59:37 J. Aundrea: I still love the show.

0:59:38 Bruce Anthony : Yeah love it.

0:59:40 J. Aundrea: But when my sister talks
about appropriation realize that these very

popular television shows.

0:59:50 Bruce Anthony : The smart guy.

0:59:52 J. Aundrea: Smart guy.

Absolutely.

Smart guy.

0:59:54 Bruce Anthony : Yeah.

0:59:55 J. Aundrea: It's just got more money
back.

0:59:56 Bruce Anthony : He's got the sad sister.

He's got the door.

1:00:00 J. Aundrea: By the way is my favorite
character on the show.

1:00:02 Bruce Anthony : Well, she's hilarious.

1:00:04 J. Aundrea: She's my step from full
house who I felt like had the most talent

on that show.

I felt like she has the most talent on young
sheldon.

She's the most talented character and has
been from the very first episode that I saw

her.

She's the breakout star.

And they're going to have to do something
because young sheldon, the actor that plays

them, his voice is ntv.

Oh, no, his voice is ntv.

I still love the show.

1:00:32 Bruce Anthony : I think I want to
end our segment.

And you know what I think?

I don't know.

We'll see if people like this.

If they don't like it, then find.

1:00:42 J. Aundrea: First of all, we don't
know when it's going to post because this

is not going to be the first one in that post.

1:00:49 Bruce Anthony : At all.

1:00:50 J. Aundrea: You think there should
be a test run?

1:00:52 Bruce Anthony : Yeah, because this
was a whole we were all over the place.

1:00:57 J. Aundrea: I think that's what podcasts
are all over.

1:00:59 Bruce Anthony : I feel like they have
more of a structure.

1:01:01 J. Aundrea: Well, I just listened
to the dan lebatar show and they're all over

the place.

1:01:07 Bruce Anthony : Do your own thing.

1:01:08 J. Aundrea: Yeah, it's my podcast
on the solicited Perspectives with Bruce Anthony.

1:01:13 Bruce Anthony : Yeah.

Here's my question.

1:01:15 J. Aundrea: Okay.

1:01:16 Bruce Anthony : Let's end with a black
ass question.

1:01:18 J. Aundrea: Okay.

1:01:19 Bruce Anthony : What is your favorite
black unit of measurement?

I'll go first.

1:01:27 J. Aundrea: Okay.

1:01:28 Bruce Anthony : Mine is down the street.

Oh, down the street.

That could be literally down the street.

It could be 20 minutes away.

You don't know.

But it's down the street.

You know what it is?

He's down the street.

We don't know how far that is.

I'll also give you another one.

A minute.

I have seen you in a minute.

How long has that been?

An actual minute or seven years?

You don't know.

1:02:03 J. Aundrea: Okay, so you took the
two bets.

They are measurements.

1:02:08 Bruce Anthony : Yes.

1:02:09 J. Aundrea: If we're talking about
black euphriment, say that word for me, because

I got that speech impediment.

I don't know how I'm going to do a podcast
with a speech impediment.

That's going to be really I think.

1:02:19 Bruce Anthony : It'S going to be yours.

1:02:20 J. Aundrea: And my list hasn't come
out.

It just did.

But my favorite black euphemism is, I'm trying
to be like you.

1:02:35 Bruce Anthony : We can't ever just
straight up compliment someone.

We don't say, you look nice today.

We say okay.

Green shirt.

1:02:46 J. Aundrea: Hold up.

Now, there's a certain way that you say it.

If somebody says, look at you with your little
green shirt on, it's not a compliment.

1:02:55 Bruce Anthony : If we put little in
front of it, it's not a compliment.

1:02:57 J. Aundrea: It's not a compliment
unless somebody is big and we call them little,

like on The Wire. Little cab.

1:03:06 Bruce Anthony : Right.

Okay, green shirt.

It can be a compliment, or it can be an insole.

You can be like, okay, green shirt.

Or you can be like, okay, green shirt.

The thing that I love most about aav, African
American Vernacular English is that it's a

completely contextual vernacular, and it goes
back to the oral traditions in Africa.

You have to hear it.

You have to hear it in context.

This is not a written language.

This is not a written vernacular.

1:03:46 Bruce Anthony : Because if I say,
oh, yeah, he's been there before, or he's

been there before, it means two different
things.

You done or you've done done.

These are all like it means completely different
things, and you cannot understand it in written

form.

You have to understand us in context.

And I also like, what did you say?

What was your euphemism?

I just had it on the tip of my tongue.

1:04:17 J. Aundrea: I just said, trying to
be like you.

1:04:20 Bruce Anthony : Yeah, I'm trying to
be like you.

I mean, I think that's the highest compliment
you can give somebody.

I admire what you're doing so much.

I'm trying to be like you.

1:04:30 J. Aundrea: Also.

It's also a pass by statement.

How are you doing, man?

I'm just trying to be like you.

You're just trying to get out the conversation.

We will use these to get out of a conversation
real fast.

1:04:43 Bruce Anthony : Also true.

1:04:44 J. Aundrea: When you were on the phone
with me and I was talking to my neighbor and

you said you all asked a bunch of questions
and didn't answer none of them.

Yeah, that's kind of what we do.

1:04:57 Bruce Anthony : You have to understand
this.

It's got to be in context also.

1:05:01 J. Aundrea: Like, as far as measurement.

A whole gang a whole gang of them over there?

1:05:06 Bruce Anthony : Yeah.

How many?

1:05:07 J. Aundrea: How many is that?

1:05:10 Bruce Anthony : You know it's more
than one, right?

1:05:12 J. Aundrea: It's a lot or a grip.

It costs a grip.

1:05:16 Bruce Anthony : Yeah.

1:05:16 J. Aundrea: I don't think the young
generation I think those are a little bit

older.

1:05:20 Bruce Anthony : I think people still
say stuff costs a grip.

1:05:24 J. Aundrea: I don't know.

1:05:25 Bruce Anthony : I think it's regional.

1:05:28 J. Aundrea: A lot of this stuff is
absolutely regional.

1:05:31 Bruce Anthony : Yeah, it's regional.

Yeah.

We can understand each other.

But when you hear other people speak aav E,
because it is an actual vernacular with grammatical

and syntactic rules, it is a real dialect,
everybody.

1:05:49 J. Aundrea: My sister was an English
major.

That's the reason why she's saying a bunch
of big words that if you can't understand

them, congratulations.

If you can't understand them, you ain't alone.

1:05:57 Bruce Anthony : Right.

1:06:00 J. Aundrea: Just being real.

She's doing some stuff.

First, she threw out an acronym, and I was
like, jj.

Joe.

1:06:05 Bruce Anthony : See?

1:06:06 J. Aundrea: What's that?

I didn't know what that was.

And then she had to break it down.

1:06:09 Bruce Anthony : They called an ebonics,
and it's got a negative connotation, and it

also diminishes what is truly a standalone
vernacular.

It is separate from sae, which is standard
American English.

It is separate.

1:06:30 J. Aundrea: Solely us, though, I think
people that hang out in the black community

right.

1:06:35 Bruce Anthony : Again, what's the
operative word there in that statement?

1:06:39 J. Aundrea: I know you said a lot
of big word.

1:06:41 Bruce Anthony : Black community.

Black community.

African American Vernacular English.

Now, if you grew up around a bunch of black
folks, it is highly possible and probable

that you can speak aav E properly.

But it's when you get on you got to get on
the Internet, and these kids, and they don't

have a black friend.

They don't even have one.

1:07:05 J. Aundrea: But it could be where
they live, and there might not be any black

people where they live.

1:07:08 Bruce Anthony : Then you ain't got
no business speaking aav.

I don't live in Shanghai, so you don't catch
me walking around speaking mandarin.

I don't okay.

I don't have no business.

1:07:20 J. Aundrea: That's an official language.

1:07:22 Bruce Anthony : So is aav.

Just because the mainstream doesn't recognize
it they recognize it as slang, doesn't mean

that it is not a real vernacular, a real dialect.

1:07:37 J. Aundrea: I hear you once again.

That's my sister, the English major.

She scored a higher score on the Sat than
I did, and she loves to rub it in my face.

But also, my Sat score was high only because
of the math.

1:07:49 Bruce Anthony : I literally have never
brought it up.

1:07:51 J. Aundrea: No, it's our brother.

Our brother is disappointed.

We both scored higher than him, didn't we?

1:07:56 Bruce Anthony : No.

I think you all had the same score.

1:07:59 J. Aundrea: He scored me.

1:08:00 Bruce Anthony : Yes, he did.

1:08:06 J. Aundrea: Anyway, I don't want to
take up too much more your time.

This was the title of my podcast, which my
sister absolutely hates.

1:08:15 Bruce Anthony : I don't absolutely
hate it.

It's grown on me.

1:08:18 J. Aundrea: Okay, unsolicited perspectives,
the Friday happy hour with my sister John.

Andrea, go ahead.

1:08:24 Bruce Anthony : I heard it again,
and I hate it, but I appreciate you having

me.

This is fun.

I'll do this with you.

This is fun.

1:08:31 J. Aundrea: Okay, cool.

1:08:32 Bruce Anthony : It doesn't take up
too much of.

1:08:34 J. Aundrea: My this is a regular phone
conversation for us.

This is just like we've been on the phone
pretty much just like I was talking to you.

What day was the other day?

We were on the phone for an hour.

But that's just how our family does me and
my sister talk more often?

Do we talk the most out of the father?

Mom, dad?

1:08:55 Bruce Anthony : I call everybody.

1:08:58 J. Aundrea: I don't call anybody.

Yeah, not our text, though.

1:09:02 Bruce Anthony : Yeah, I call everybody.

Everybody calls me.

Also, there was one day I was calling back
to back, and I'm hanging up with one of you

to pick up the call from another one of you.

No, it really wasn't.

It was crazy.

It was dad's birthday and all you all kept
calling me, and I was like, what the hell

is going on?

Call your father.

It was dad's birthday, and I was on the phone
with mom, and then you called.

I hung up with mom to pick up your call, and
then Adam called, and I hung up with you to

pick up adam's call.

And I'm like, why is everybody calling me?

1:09:38 Bruce Anthony : Call dad.

1:09:40 J. Aundrea: I didn't call him.

I sent him a video that day and said, hey,
pops, let me know when you talk, because it

was a work day for him.

Dad got a real job, right?

Just let me know when you can face time later.

And he never let me know.

Anyway, thank you once again for joining me.

1:10:01 Bruce Anthony : Just so you all know,
we have undiagnosed ad d.

So this is going to be how these are going
to go.

1:10:09 J. Aundrea: This is the first episode.

Like, if it's bad, that's okay.

It'll get better.

We've never done anything and been bad at
something forever.

I don't that's a trait of us.

1:10:19 Bruce Anthony : We're both I typically
am good at things at the first time, the first

time I tried.

1:10:23 J. Aundrea: I think that's a trait
in our family.

But if we are bad at something well, you did
quit basketball.

You quit that real quick.

1:10:30 Bruce Anthony : I wasn't good.

1:10:33 J. Aundrea: That's a story for another
day.

How my sister came to me.

You never played basketball a day in your
life and went to trial for the middle school

team two days before the trial, hey, can you
teach me how to play basketball?

No.

1:10:43 Bruce Anthony : Jay I don't know why
I didn't just try out for soccer.

I don't know why I tried out for the basketball
team at.

1:10:52 J. Aundrea: That point.

I've been playing basketball for ten years,
like, every day, doing drills, and she's like,

can you teach me basketball in two days?

Try out for team.

1:11:00 Bruce Anthony : Can't dribble, can't
do anything.

I don't know what I was thinking.

1:11:07 J. Aundrea: No rules, no nothing.

Genuinely hurt that you didn't make the team.

1:11:11 Bruce Anthony : You was hurt?

Yeah.

Knew none of the positions.

Don't know the rules.

Don't know how much each shot is worth except
for a three pointer because it's in the damn

name.

I couldn't even tell you a team that's actually
playing right now.

Are the timberwolves still a thing?

1:11:31 J. Aundrea: Yeah, the timberwolves
still a thing.

Come on, now.

1:11:33 Bruce Anthony : The Orlando Magic.

1:11:34 J. Aundrea: Yes.

You're missing the main one.

1:11:38 Bruce Anthony : Portland trail blazers.

1:11:39 J. Aundrea: No, the family team.

1:11:42 Bruce Anthony : We have a family.

Adam likes the wizards.

Are they still the wizard?

1:11:48 J. Aundrea: Yes.

He actually grew up he grew up in this area.

That's what I did, too, but granddad and dad
was out there, so Chicago, the Bear, the Bull.

If I paid attention to baseball, it'd be the
White Sox.

1:12:08 Bruce Anthony : I'm an orioles fan.

1:12:11 J. Aundrea: I love volleyball.

1:12:13 Bruce Anthony : Yeah, I like the braves,
too, now that they won the World Series and

I live here.

Guys, I am sorry.

Cut.

1:12:25 J. Aundrea: Everybody.

Thank you again.

This will be posted after I've done some other
stuff, but just know that this was the original

happy hour on Friday.

1:12:37 Bruce Anthony : The first one.

1:12:38 J. Aundrea: Whether it's good or bad,
it was the first.

Will get better.

Once again, I'm Bruce Anthony.

My sister johnna, Andrea, or jayana.

Andrea.
