So.

08:43.41
Bruce Anthony
And this is 24 hour

08:50.10
J. Aundrea
But I get that once a year it's worth it.

08:52.89
Bruce Anthony
It's laying right by my bed I don't know why just I'm taking it now every morning I'm taking it now warning because I've been sick I've been sick for a basically a month this sucks this sucks all right? That's enough a dili daddling. Let's get to the submarine.

08:55.49
J. Aundrea
Yeah, got to do it? Yeah yeah, not dilly deliot.

09:09.91
Bruce Anthony
But you think yeah, we did well okay I don't know the differences I don't know why you jumped on in tried to correct me.

09:10.91
J. Aundrea
It's not a submarine. First of all, it's a submersible I don't know the difference I don't know I don't know if there is a difference. Um, but I just know that they call it ah a submersible.

09:29.50
Bruce Anthony
Well, it's the titan it's the titan and it's run by the company oceang gate expeditions. Um, and they take people down there to go look at the Titanic ah and these people was 5 people that went down there including the Ceo.

09:30.90
J. Aundrea
And not a submarine.

09:36.40
J. Aundrea
Smith. Yes.

09:48.66
Bruce Anthony
And I look like theyin't coming back up. They look like debris.

09:51.60
J. Aundrea
They are not coming back up. They found debris on the osirt floor today and what they assume happened is that it either imploded or exploded um about and.

10:03.10
Bruce Anthony
The assumption is imploding that it imploded. Yeah.

10:07.21
J. Aundrea
The assumption is that it imploded about an about an hour and 45 minutes into its thirteen Thousand foot dive so they have not recovered any bodies I don't know if there was anything to yeah.

10:19.65
Bruce Anthony
I Don't know if you would with that type of pressure. That's that's a that's a lot of pressure on the body I mean the body would be crushed.

10:27.19
J. Aundrea
Yeah, that and you know predation from fish and various sharks and all other kinds of swimmables. Um.

10:33.12
Bruce Anthony
There. So.

10:42.70
Bruce Anthony
There's been a lot of jokes on these people and I don't think it's I don't think it's right to joke because we knew we knew that they were pretty much gone a couple days ago when they were talking about if they are down there. They running that oxygen we knew that they were going to pass it. So.

10:49.70
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah, because apparently they only had about four days of worth of oxygen but the coast guard or the navy actually said that they heard something that.

10:58.00
Bruce Anthony
Effort.

11:08.73
J. Aundrea
Could be an implosion or an explosion around that area but it was inconclusive so they just kept continued the search running on the assumption that they were all still alive. So yeah.

11:20.81
Bruce Anthony
No look. They weren't and some of these means and jokes. Wow Funny Extremely distasteful, funny but distasteful.

11:31.19
J. Aundrea
Yeah I mean the I mean the only thing I think the only thing that gives me ah ordinarily I guess I wouldn't not that I wouldn't care but ordinarily I guess I wouldn't.

11:45.81
J. Aundrea
Feel some type of way about it. It's just that one of the quote unquote explorers who went down there brought his teenage teen but he brought his teenage son with him so there was a young.

11:51.56
Bruce Anthony
I mean I roll their eyes it was explore they was exploring and his teenage son didn't really want to go his teenage son went because he was like I guess this would be a bondings experience which by the way.

12:04.22
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

12:07.28
Bruce Anthony
I wouldn't mind having a dad that just got extra two hundred fifty thousand dollars to throw away just to go for a bond experience to go see the Titanic would no hit right? So he had the two fifty for a him and he said hey son you want to go not really well come on. It could be a bonding experience. A bonding experience is going on camping a bonding experience is going for.

12:12.20
J. Aundrea
Ah, 1000000 because he had to pay for 2 tickets. And yeah, yeah.

12:23.31
J. Aundrea
Yeah, is doing Trust it's it. It's doing trust falls. Yeah.

12:27.16
Bruce Anthony
You know, go on playing catch bonding the experience do a trust wall he he had a two hundred and fifty or five hundred thousand dollars bonding experience. So.

12:37.80
J. Aundrea
Right.

12:39.88
Bruce Anthony
And then people were getting into their pockets saying who was spend two hundred and fifty thousand dollars on this and that look right and I asked somebody who said that to me earlier like I can imagine spending two hundred fifty thousand dollars I said you you wouldn't spend two hundred and fifty thousand dollars on anything and then they said well to go into space I said it's the same goddamn thing.

12:44.47
J. Aundrea
Somebody who's got it.

12:52.81
J. Aundrea
Um, because you.

12:58.50
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah.

12:59.93
Bruce Anthony
Right? Golden space going down below like we know more about space than we actually do about the ocean but you could die in space and guess what I don't want to be in a rock ship and dying space. That's my ultimate fear. It's an irrational fear. Ah well.

13:13.67
J. Aundrea
That's that's your ultimate fear being in a rocket ship and dying in space if I were it hyperbolic. We're gonna excuse it.

13:18.54
Bruce Anthony
Well, it's I'm I'm being hyperp hyperp Yeah hyperbolic. Thank you for correct me I'm sick So we gonna excuse my misenunciations.

13:30.69
J. Aundrea
A robot it I'm a roleed by it I'm a role right on by it I think my fear space related is we're on a space walk and my tether snaps and I just go floating out in this space. That's.

13:47.58
Bruce Anthony
That's what I'm talking about and.

13:49.56
J. Aundrea
But I'm not and not that I'm on a spaceship and it blows up or something like that. But just that I just end up floating out into space. Yeah yeah, yeah I didn't see it either because again I don't mess with space like that.

13:57.86
Bruce Anthony
That's what I'm talking about floating like with I I never saw that movie was some movie with send bullet and she was yeah I didn' now mess space like that I'm not look Thanos is out there. Um and ain't nothing good. Came for messing with Thanos.

14:12.51
J. Aundrea
Yeah I mean there's a lot of stuff out there. A lot of stuff. Ah ash Asteroids meteors. Ah, the sun is out there. That's pretty hot so that I so I hear um.

14:15.41
Bruce Anthony
That we don't know about.

14:22.30
Bruce Anthony
Well multiple suns because a sun is a star so there are billions of stars out there and out of space. Yes stars or suns.

14:31.10
J. Aundrea
But the stars are not Suns we're not going to do this stars are not Suns the sun is a star but a star is not a sun. We're not doing this.

14:45.30
Bruce Anthony
You want to look this up right now. Why who who got to say who got to see an astronomy in college I did it was past.

14:50.46
J. Aundrea
We're not doing this. We're not getting into this. We're talking about the submersive War you got to see you got to see that's my point you got to see.

15:03.84
Bruce Anthony
It was passing hold up lady gentlemen. My sister is looking up as a son as a star is is right right.

15:10.13
J. Aundrea
You know I'm looking as ah, the sun is a star. There are a lot of stars in the universe but the sun is the closest one to their but blah blah is a so our stars and Sun's the same thing.

15:23.80
Bruce Anthony
Her Yeah, she trying to brush past it. Go ahead and say what it is.

15:25.30
J. Aundrea
Ah, but bubu up up. But no I'm I'm trying to find 1 of them that actually answers my question. It keeps saying the sun is a star at the center I know that the sun is a star but not every star is a sun. That's what I'm trying to determine hi. It says right here namely every sun is a star but not every star is a sun a sun. The sun is larger and a lot brighter than most.

15:44.76
Bruce Anthony
I'm pretty sure that every stars every star is a sun.

16:00.61
J. Aundrea
Stars.

16:02.79
Bruce Anthony
Where you get that information firm. What's the source D see now now Trust no telescopes dot Com Now let's let look I'm ah.

16:03.30
J. Aundrea
I don't know telescopes. Well let's let's do. Let's do little astronomy.com that's what I said.

16:14.88
Bruce Anthony
Now I might be wrong on this one and we detour and from the submoranus would you call it again. Yeah.

16:20.25
J. Aundrea
It's a submersible and that's why I say we're not doing this. We're not there you you? you told me to keep eye on time and then what do you do? What do you do? Okay, you provoke me and I don't like it.

16:26.36
Bruce Anthony
These. Yeah, well because you know that's how we are in our family we'll we'll start a argument and thank god for Google because back in the arguments would just go round and round around because we didn't have the cyclop prettyedia britannic I think we had one book I think we had the ds.

16:40.73
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

16:47.70
J. Aundrea
New Yeah, just randomly we just we might have got that for free and then if we liked it. We would buy the whole set and nobody ever bought the set so in.

16:50.70
Bruce Anthony
The d do ease right. For you young ends out there listening to the podcast Google wasn't always a thing sometimes you like the end you right? It's called a library.

17:06.55
J. Aundrea
Did not exist. You had to go to you had to go to a special building filled with these these manuscripts called books and you would have to use what was called the dewey decimal system to locate a particular book. That would give you the answers. It was a hour long process sometimes longer. Yeah.

17:26.58
Bruce Anthony
hours hour hours hour hours because not only did you have to find a book that would answer the question for you. You had to skim through the book to get the answer but most of the time you would just go to the back of the book and look at the index.

17:33.98
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

17:41.88
Bruce Anthony
And look up the word that you was trying to find in the book and then flip to those pages to read those individual pages life was hard. It was hot if times was hard out here. Not as hard does that implosion in that. Ah submarissa.

17:46.74
J. Aundrea
It was hard. Yeah, yeah.

17:58.00
J. Aundrea
Yeah, it's a submersible but um, you know the the crazy thing is that for years people have been warning ocean gate and particularly Ceo about what could possibly happen.

17:58.31
Bruce Anthony
That english.

18:07.18
Bruce Anthony
A.

18:14.99
J. Aundrea
And because I believe they skipped some you know common safety checks or safety protocols. Um, they didn't go to I I'm ah be honest, they didn't go to Home Depot they didn't do that.

18:21.80
Bruce Anthony
They basically went to Home Depot and built that thing.

18:31.33
Bruce Anthony
It was close some like it. They went to lows. They went to loathe no they definitely didn't but they did but no, but they've done like several successful trips down there though.

18:33.10
J. Aundrea
Um, it was not they didn't they didn't take they went to lows they they didn't take all the precautions let me tell you they definitely didn't build it to last.

18:50.53
Bruce Anthony
They've been in operation for years.

18:50.80
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah for for 2 years yeah I think they started doing trips in 2021 and I don't know how many yeah I don't know how many trips they did but you know this? ah everybody was saying.

18:55.23
Bruce Anthony
Well, where that's years.

19:08.49
J. Aundrea
Hey it's only a amount of this is It's only amount of time where.

19:17.87
J. Aundrea
Um I did not see I have heard of this controller I have not seen this controller.

19:21.93
Bruce Anthony
It was a Nintendo it was Nintendo 64 controller is what you use to play goal ni that's what they went down there to control that submersive. That's what you call the right submersive. Yeah well I like submersive better. Yeah.

19:33.60
J. Aundrea
A submersible that's close that means close. It's not, You're not far off from ah from what the word actually is yeah for sure for sure I mean um.

19:40.36
Bruce Anthony
But yeah, there's gonna be some lawsuits. There's gonna be some losses.

19:49.40
J. Aundrea
These are very rich businessmen ah with families. So um, yeah, there's going to be some.. There's definitely going to be some lawsuits especially because letters were written to the company years ago. Warning of possible catastrophic problems with the design of the Titan So if they were aware of it beforehand I mean I'm sure you signed some waiver I'm sure.

20:15.71
Bruce Anthony
Oh yeah, they saw they said that there was a waiver that they signed and death was on the first page 3 times so you they knew they could die. Yeah you know look look.

20:24.74
J. Aundrea
Yeah, so you're aware. Yeah, but you think hey this company has been operating and doing these dives one of the um people on one of the 5 who were lost you done like 35 dives

20:41.87
J. Aundrea
To the Titanic why you want to pay a quarter of a million dollars to do something. You've already done 35 other times I don't know I don't know what else there is new to see ah I am I saw titanic once and I didn't need.

20:49.53
Bruce Anthony

J. Aundrea
Okay, so you're just a degenerate I thought you met the story itself. There was something hilarious about Rose and the cheating and the yeah and that she.

21:52.22
Bruce Anthony
I mean Rose was a hoe and it's funny. How women ah ah excused the fact that she cheated. Oh he was a horrible man. She could have left well her mother? no she could have left she decide to cheat she ho let's just just call it what it is stop making excuses women quick to make excuses for themselves but they't call a man.

22:04.50
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah.

22:09.94
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, see the man didn't had to cheat he had to do like that She shot him in the leg. Why can't he cheat if she shot him in the leg I'm just talking hypotheticals. This was no particular scene in any movies. But I'm just saying it has to be those type of extremes women won't give men a pass but they give themselves pass all time. That's is my rant.

22:17.27
J. Aundrea
Right? Yeah because I was wondering I was like I don't remember her shooting them in the leg. But yeah, okay, cool, cool, cool, cool. Well.

22:28.30
Bruce Anthony
No, she didn't that was just talking hypotheticals.

22:36.58
J. Aundrea
You know, very sad I think even though I think ah even though people were kind of holding out hope maybe that they were still alive is yeah we're pretty much sure at this point that they they did not survive this so very sad. Yeah.

22:36.87
Bruce Anthony
It is at.

22:50.76
Bruce Anthony
Oh oh, no this a guarantee they didn't that they definitely did with yeah I mean let's no and and unless they are Atlanteans theyin't surviv that.

22:55.98
J. Aundrea
I Mean they found they know they found pieces of the ship they they are not in that if anything they're not in the ship anymore. Ah, and at that depth they're definitely not here. They're they didn't make unless unless the.

23:09.20
Bruce Anthony
They are Aqua Male does not walk her through that door ladies and gentlemen.

23:14.90
J. Aundrea
What is it was my man from a black panther that less no more found him and or a little mermaid I mean probably not probably they are they are gone which is there.

23:18.94
Bruce Anthony
Ah, na more? yeah probably and I come but you know bless their souls sorry for the losses and people need to stop being.

23:32.84
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

23:35.11
Bruce Anthony
I Know we cracked some jokes but like this isn't a funny thing so people died and and all they wanted to do was do something that was enjoyable to them and that's sad to see some people go.

23:37.22
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and it's ah you know people make jokes because they're extremely rich people and you feel like well extremely rich people. Um, we kind of deny them a little bit of humanity just because they're extremely rich. It can drop a quarter of Mill on a submersible trip but like let's be dead as honest if a quarter of $1000000 was like spending $200 To us I mean there's a lot of stuff that I would do if I had kind of right right? You could that you could Die. You could some could happen that tank could blow up.

24:15.22
Bruce Anthony
People go scuba dive in and snorkelin all the damn time for thirty five fifty dollars and you could die. You can die? yeah.

24:28.81
J. Aundrea
Get you get stuck on a coral reef a shark could come and get you you get? Yeah Steve Irwin a damn ah stingray stung him through the chest you never know you never did um, know and so the moral of story is don't mess with nature. That's what I I don't do it I'll be home.

24:30.96
Bruce Anthony
Live things Good Jellyfish can sting you right? You never know.

24:47.73
J. Aundrea
Um, in the house where I belong.

24:58.75
Bruce Anthony
So Jay you said me an article talking about homelessness and I'm gonna let you take the lead on here because ladies and gentlemen. My sister says that I hog up all the talk time.

25:03.14
J. Aundrea
Yeah. No, that's incorrect I dissociate halfway through our show and that's why.

25:14.27
Bruce Anthony
Right? If somebody's got to keep the conversation going I got to bring you back and keep the conversation going and then I'm and I'm like j at the beginning of it I'm like Jay I want to keep these shows between 45 max 60 minutes

25:27.65
J. Aundrea
Ah, yeah.

25:31.20
Bruce Anthony
And and it's like okay we will and you'll never follow the clock that first segment went 25 minutes are where we're detour right now. Let's talk about homelessness in America.

25:34.63
J. Aundrea
Yeah, but you know what? how many times did I say did I try to keep you back on track. How many times I tried to get you back on track. So and and here's the thing here's the thing I got a let's say about this so good.

25:51.23
Bruce Anthony
Well i'mma, let you take the charge on that one ah are we can go 20 minutes on this segment if you can't get everything that you need to say at 20 minutes I'll know what to tell you Jay.

25:52.91
J. Aundrea
Good luck and keeping this 15 minutes because I don't know so earth. So don't because now now the pressure's on and now.

26:08.52
Bruce Anthony
I out over to say to you like come on now this is 20 minutes segment

26:11.47
J. Aundrea
So I read an article earlier this month vox had done some reporting on federal court ruling that had really significant impact on homeless individuals and the communities around them that is probably very little is known about this except. Probably for most city officials who are tackling the issue of homelessness and communities dealing with a large homeless population. But um, it was a federal court decision known as martin b boise um in 2009 robert martin and a group of homeless residents in boise idaho sued the city they argued that receiving police citations for violating local camping bans violated their constitutional rights. And then 18 the ninth circuit court agreed and ruled that persecuting homeless individuals for sleeping or camping on public property when they had nowhere else to go was cruel and unusual punishment under the eighth amendment the court stated that as long as. There are no indoor sleeping options available. The government can't criminalize homeless people for sleeping outdoors on public property. So what had happened to robert martin and um and the ah group of homeless residents who brought this case up.

27:40.23
J. Aundrea
Was they had been ah subject to sweeps of these tent encampments that they lived in or or if they were sleeping in parks or sleeping on the streets or in abandoned buildings they received citations and were found guilty and.

27:58.95
J. Aundrea
Of these city ordinances right? So the problem is there's no where for them to go there. The issue of of ah unsheltered homelessness which 40% of all homeless people in the country are unsheltered homeless.

28:16.24
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, a.

28:18.37
J. Aundrea
Meaning they sleep outside and in places that aren't meant for aren't meant to be lived in right? Any yes exactly and this is mainly due to a lack of affordable housing and the.

28:24.40
Bruce Anthony
Park Benches under bridges in the wool anywhere that they could find a place to sleep. Yeah.

28:37.50
J. Aundrea
Closing of shelters in many communities. It's a problem here in Atlanta where they're closing missions. They're closing shelters while steadily ah homelessness is increasing or there's a rise in.

28:51.68
Bruce Anthony
On the rise. Yeah, oh.

28:54.60
J. Aundrea
Is on the rise especially in the within the last decade is a sharp increase in homelessness and ah particularly unsheltered homelessness at a rise of these two damn high and they don't make no damn sense. Rent is too damn high.

29:01.51
Bruce Anthony
Because rent is too damn high.

29:13.96
J. Aundrea
They keep the I know here in Atlanta they're closing they're closing hospitals They're closing missions they're closing shelters I think within like a mile of me. There's maybe one mission and it's for women and children. Um, but there are are.

29:27.90
Bruce Anthony
A.

29:33.40
J. Aundrea
Within a mile of me because I yeah live in a lowincome area very close to downtown. Ah Atlanta there are several tent encampments for unsheltered homeless people. Um so the national law center. On homelessness and poverty which filed the case in 2009 believes that the decision is crucial for encouraging cities to propose constructive alternatives to homelessness. So their end goal is to end homelessness through housing right? which is the most effective way. And it saves taxpayer dollars because you have some cities who because of this decision you know they feel like they're forced between a rock and a hard place. They are prohibited for forcing unsheltered homeless people out of public spaces. Because they lack alternatives but they also lack the funding to keep up with the housing needs of growing of the growing unhoused population. You also have city residents and business owners that are filing lawsuits against cities for allowing these tent encampments. Stating that they're a threat to public health and safety but they're getting shot down by federal court judges citing martin v Boise but advocates are still saying that instead the whole point of this.

31:00.60
J. Aundrea
And the whole point of Martin V Boise is to disrupt the criminalization of homelessness and that leaders should be looking to invest more ah in more solutions like affordable housing and sheltering options.

31:03.64
Bruce Anthony
A.

31:17.17
J. Aundrea
Shelter options that offer people more privacy so it's just an interesting little thing that's going on and I it really hit home for me because I drive past just on my way home from the grocery store anywhere I drive past several tent encampments. Um, and we have a very large unsheltered homeless population. We have a large sheltered homeless population but also a very large unsheltered homeless population here in Atlanta um, but you see this a lot really in like western and the western u s. Particularly California has a huge unsheltered homeless population. But there are also a lot of ah court cases that are referencing this decision in Virginia Ohio Missouri Florida Texas New York Hawaii so it's it's really has really farreaching consequences across the nation.

32:17.87
Bruce Anthony
So in the early two thousand s here in DC I think they closed they closed I think a mental hospital and a couple of shelters all at the same time and homeless the homeless.

32:30.82
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

32:37.15
Bruce Anthony
This and in this area which was already kind of rough went it went crazy. It was like 2001 2 3 4 5 somewhere around that time in the homelessness in DC is still pretty crazy i.

32:41.63
J. Aundrea
But Balloon data control. Yeah I remember that yeah I remember that.

32:55.62
Bruce Anthony
I don't know what the answer is to to this problem one homelessness I don't know what the answer is his problem one day that they can do in places like New York city where ah retail real estate resident residential retail. No. Corporate retail corporate corporate offices. People aren't going back to the offices to work. They could turn a lot of those buildings into Newham yeah, um, there's a lot of that in in here in Dc a lot of people are.

33:18.60
J. Aundrea
Um, all right. There's so much real estate. There's so much real estate that can be used.

33:30.43
J. Aundrea
And.

33:30.92
Bruce Anthony
Working in offices. A lot of people are do remotely now so they could convert a lot of these buildings into places where homeless can live because my only thing is I also feel for those business owners because nobody wants to go where there's a whole bunch of homeless people.

33:42.77
J. Aundrea
Yeah. Yeah.

33:50.16
Bruce Anthony
Nobody wants to go shop or go eat where there's a whole bunch of homeless people. The homeless people.

33:52.58
J. Aundrea
Because you yeah you worry about the you worry about safety safety for the public. Yeah.

33:59.95
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, and it's not like homeless people like I've never had a situation with homeless people like bothering me like where I felt physically threatened I'm also a male. Um.

34:06.32
J. Aundrea
No alright.

34:12.80
Bruce Anthony
So there's that aspect of it and there are situations where homeless people are threatening but like where are these people supposed to go but at the same time like you can't just be in a populated area where people go all the time. So.

34:15.77
J. Aundrea
And.

34:28.28
Bruce Anthony
They've been trying to do I read an article these um these encampments like in certain parts of the city for these people, but it's also kind of segregating these people and turning a blind eye to them. It's kind of like out of sight out of mind so you're not really solving the problem you can sweet.

34:33.48
J. Aundrea
Right. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's not a permanent solution.

34:46.99
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, you could sweep all your toys and everything underneath your bed but you still didn't clean your room so I don't really don't know what the answer is but but I can tell you the way we we respond or treat homeless people like a lot of the times this is not their fault in San Francisco where there's a huge homelessness problem.

34:49.32
J. Aundrea
Right.

35:00.86
J. Aundrea
No.

35:06.80
Bruce Anthony
Because the housing market is absolutely ridiculous and nobody can afford to live there even people that are making 6 figures are just like yo I live out my car because the housing is too is too crazy out here. So I think the problem is well. It's obviously systemic and.

35:07.19
J. Aundrea
Yes.

35:15.67
J. Aundrea
M.

35:25.53
Bruce Anthony
1 we need to do a better job of regulating mortgages and how companies are buying up property. There was a lot of private companies that were buying up homes ah during a pandemic and now they're using them for rent but now they could set the market and rent is ridiculous now.

35:42.47
J. Aundrea
M.

35:44.46
Bruce Anthony
So they're driving people like where do you where do you live I know in my building by lease is gonna be coming up for renewal pretty soon and I'm just gonna stay because it's gonna cost me too much money to to leave so doesn matter how much they increase my rent. It's not gonna be more than the cost of me moving. Um, so it.

35:53.45
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah.

35:58.90
J. Aundrea
To write.

36:03.75
Bruce Anthony
But like if I luckily I have a family and I have a good job and things of that nature. But if I fell on hard terms and I was alone just like that you could be homeless just like that it doesn't take much or sometimes not even bad decisions. Unfortunate.

36:13.15
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah, we're all one 1 or 2 bad decisions away or ah or or unfortunate circumstances away from being unhoused. Yeah I mean the answer is.

36:23.20
Bruce Anthony
Yeah.

36:26.55
Bruce Anthony
I know I keep saying homeless in this unhoused I apologize to all the homes people out there if you're listening to the show.

36:31.40
J. Aundrea
Well well Well, it's funny because I um I go back and forth depending on what I'm talking about but I know for homeless or unhoused people. Um I don't know that they really.

36:50.87
Bruce Anthony
I would love I would love to take a poll I Love to be like excuse me Sir Madam Do you mind being called homeless on that house which one do you prefer rights.

36:51.29
J. Aundrea
Particularly care about what language you use is more yeah I would prefer to not be either 1 so that would be that that's sweet. You know. But I mean the answer is really is for especially in cities where this is a real problem is not to penalize you know or displace homeless people. Um. Is not to push them out or to push them into 1 place. Um like these managed tent ah camping sites. Um.

37:34.67
Bruce Anthony
Or criminalize it I hate to do it I hate to do it but I have to because I read this article and article specifically pointed out conservative states are so extremely penalizing homeless. Unhoused people for being homeless or unhoused like they're not trying to really find any housing and they're trying to find every way they can around this Martin Rule why what conservatives I just have honest question.

37:55.47
J. Aundrea
Right? yeah.

38:03.12
J. Aundrea
Yes.

38:11.40
Bruce Anthony
Why do you not care about anything else but yourself I'm just curious what the obvious they they were up the days.

38:13.79
J. Aundrea
Why why do you hate America why why do you? not? Why do you not want it to be better. Why do you not want America to work for every american why? what's wrong. What's wrong.

38:32.54
Bruce Anthony
Um, Kiss is not go take anything away from you. It's not.

38:33.30
J. Aundrea
With that. Yeah, it's truly not to build affordable, housing and shelter alternatives is not going to take away but you will have people when they propose building affordable, housing or building Shelters. You will have people show up to those City council meetings in opposition of that and I'm like Well what's the alternative will there. Their push is to push homeless individuals out of the city by punishing them. Um.

38:55.81
Bruce Anthony
Um, tell you.

39:06.51
Bruce Anthony
Yeah.

39:11.37
J. Aundrea
But that's not that is not a solution. The only solution is affordable, housing and shelter alternatives that is the solution and really making a concerted effort to prioritize funding those initiatives. That's the solution.

39:15.56
Bruce Anthony
A.

39:26.42
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, but they would look at that as some type of socialism wal't you just they should just pull themselves by the bootstrap as my man Martin Luther King says it pretty hard to pull yourself by the bootstraps if you don't have no boots.

39:40.11
J. Aundrea
Yeah I mean what what address are you supposed to put on that job application.

39:49.43
Bruce Anthony
That's something I always thought about I was like and if I was homeless or unhoused like what would I do like I could get a job at Mcdonald's or something like that. But like how would I know that I got the job right? Ah, you know as like can you hire me right now today because I don't you could yell out the window.

39:57.86
J. Aundrea
Right? okay.

40:06.63
Bruce Anthony
Maybe I'll just stick around to see if I got accepted for the job or whatever. But then after that it's like.

40:08.60
J. Aundrea
Right? Because there's no pay phones anymore where you can give them the phone number to the pay phone like mo money you know and he just basically hung around that pay phone to see if.

40:14.23
Bruce Anthony
Running get.

40:23.74
J. Aundrea
They called about the jab I mean but they those don't exist me.

40:25.39
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, y'all if y'all don't know about more money it stars Damon Waynes and Marlon Waynes and Damon Waynes they're they're petty con artists and thiefs and Damon Waynes wants to turn his life around and get this job only cause he found a pretty girl. The pretty girl ended up being um.

40:32.96
J. Aundrea
And.

40:43.15
Bruce Anthony
1 of the worst people on the face of this earth in real life. Ah think Candace Owens na look I've been in love with Stacey Dash since the movie moving with Richard Pryor and King Kong Bundy King Kong Bundy didn't really start the movie he was just in the movie. Ah, but she broke my heart.

40:46.96
J. Aundrea
She's trying to change Stacy Dash is trying to change.

40:56.91
J. Aundrea
Yeah. Yeah, no, that was it. Thank you.

41:02.37
Bruce Anthony
She broke my heart see. We did this segment in 20 minutes you got anything else. You want to say about this see look look. We got it done at 20 minutes see that folks. We can give you information in timely fashion and what a whole lot of jokes. Um, but you know not everything's got be about jokes sometimes we talk about serious stuff. This is serious subject.

41:13.73
J. Aundrea
Now.

41:21.69
Bruce Anthony
Know the answer is my sister says affordable housing I don't even know how we go about creating affordable housing I think that's a no, you're talking about building of you're talking about building more housing.

41:27.42
J. Aundrea
There is There is so much real estate. There's so much real estate. No there. There is so much existing real estate that is not being used that the city could use to.

41:39.55
Bruce Anthony
Earth.

41:45.66
J. Aundrea
Create Affordable housing.

41:47.10
Bruce Anthony
That would be like a really extremely nice ah developer because they're not going to make any money off of that they would just be doing that at the kindness of the heart. The city ain't got no money.

41:55.26
J. Aundrea
No, they would be making the money the city is paying for it. This is taxpayer money the city got money because Atlanta just allocated like $700000000 to different.

42:04.20
Bruce Anthony
Sometimes the city ain't got no money.

42:13.32
J. Aundrea
For structure initiatives I don't know I didn't read the whole article. So I said City's got money the money exists.

42:16.85
Bruce Anthony
Some cities got my some cities got money DCAin ' got no money well DC got little bit money but not a whole lot of money but you know their budget their budgets controlled by co where the budget is controlled by congress.

42:23.26
J. Aundrea
I bet you I I bet you they got some money and and then if you think about you know, pulling funding from other places where like oh I don't know the militarization of the police.

42:38.47
Bruce Anthony
Yeah you I mean gear I mean I still want the police but they theyin't got to have all the stuff they are here they are here.

42:40.95
J. Aundrea
Which has billion dollar annual funding won't you pull from that they don't there are there are plenty of other countries where the police are not militarized in the way that they are in this country and they're perfectly safe.

42:55.94
Bruce Anthony
When we say militarized ladies gentlemen. We talking about they out here looking like soldiers. We don't need the police to be like soldiers. This ain't the 80 s where everybody got 8 k's and uzies kids out here just using regular handguns now don't no, they're not.

43:01.13
J. Aundrea
Yes, no.

43:09.19
J. Aundrea
Yeah, kids just kids just use them just regular handguns.

43:16.91
Bruce Anthony
They're using ghost guns now that's the scary thing. Those things are undetectable, but anyway homelessness in America let's do better.

43:22.63
J. Aundrea
Sure.

43:32.11
Bruce Anthony
RJ this last this last story I thought was entertaining. It's not funny, but it is it's not funny but it is art so

43:40.39
J. Aundrea
It's not. It's really really terrible and also trash. Yeah.

43:48.55
Bruce Anthony
The department of labor and launched an investigation into Takira Gal Baldy. It's a restaurant and what did I say.

43:52.45
J. Aundrea
Talk Yeah, talk get here care Tokira and that that's a girl I used to know in high school That's a completely different. Yeah she I haven't seen her recently.

44:01.77
Bruce Anthony
Ah, Shakira must have been on my mind you know she agent Shakira agent real well I look that she looked I mean every time you see her. She look good anyway anyway and 2021 at the receiving complaint from an employee. Ah.

44:11.32
J. Aundrea
You go.

44:18.57
Bruce Anthony
The department of labor launched an investigation into this restaurant the department found several violations of free labor standards act which regulates minimum wage overtime pay record keeping and child labor standards.

44:21.92
J. Aundrea
Ah.

44:31.30
Bruce Anthony
The department Also found that the restaurant train tried to obstruct the investigation by instructing employees to lie to investigators fabricate time sheets and prohibit employees from using their usual digital audience Attendance Tracker the department Also found the restaurant train now this is what I've found.

44:49.72
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

44:50.52
Bruce Anthony
Really funny the department Also found that the restaurant chain hired a fake priest to intimidate and manipulate employees and to confessing any wrong daring any wrongdoings or complaints to they had about the employer. The department said you go ahead.

45:03.30
J. Aundrea
So this this is a Mexican restaurant I Believe it's a Mexican restaurant and so as as we all know a lot of latinos are catholic.

45:10.64
Bruce Anthony
It's a Mexican restaurant. Yes.

45:15.98
Bruce Anthony
And catholics are sit mom. Our mom is Catholic our mom of Catholic and is serious about confession I'm like no, you can just talk to God No, you can't no, you can't I like.

45:20.17
J. Aundrea
Devout Catholic Yes, yes, yes, they are completely serious about this and would and they offered confession during work hours to employees. But the priest was Fake. He was undercover um and the only thing he ever asked them to confess was that any wrongdoing that they did on the job.

45:48.99
Bruce Anthony
Or complaints about the employer. Um, so department of labor filed a lawsuit against the restaurant and it's own and it's 3 owners and operators in 2019 seeking back pay liquidated damages, civil penalties and an injunction relief for the affected employees. Basically. They the lawsuit was finalized on June eighth of this year and they they were awarded one hundred and forty thousand as well as an extra 5000 for civil penalties. But that's supposed to be divided under 35 employees. So basically the employees didn't get that much.

46:21.00
J. Aundrea
Now but it highlighted the unfair business practices of this place and it penalized the employer. So even though the employees didn't get that much The employer still has to pay out this money. So.

46:35.50
Bruce Anthony
Yeah I mean I'm thinking I'm trying to do the math real fast and what the employees got and well no actually the employees probably got about close to 20000 then they got it there.

46:51.41
J. Aundrea
So they got a a little. They got a little some they got a little some no I don't know you know Iss It's now my strong suit. This's not yeah.

46:54.42
Bruce Anthony
They got closer to 220000 did I get that right hold on math and math ladies and gentlemen when that's 14 there's hundred and forty thousand divided about 35 no I was dead wrong. let' up for grand a piece out i.

47:09.46
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah.

47:13.72
Bruce Anthony
Ladies and gentlemen I'm sick. That's the reason why I did the math overall but I found this funny right? and you was just like yeah well I don't know no 4 grand this this is not a lot but that I just found this I mean it's not funny because what they did to these people.

47:14.57
J. Aundrea
Yeah, but the way that I agreed with you? Yeah, you know they got good. It did definitely got a little bit. No no.

47:32.46
Bruce Anthony
Is absolutely ridiculous, but the fact they hired fake priests like and I don't think you could ever get me to convince me to be a fake priest because I feel like that's just automatic going to hell I don't even think you can ask for forgiveness from that I think that you.

47:32.46

Well the that the deject up thing about this country. It really doesn't matter what your immigration status is the threat alone can tie you up with immigration for a very long time and even if your immigration status is legit. You could still end up getting deported just because.

J. Aundrea
Very good interview.

49:37.34
J. Aundrea
The gap.

49:41.44
Bruce Anthony
But not funny. Whatever. But I am going detour the trolls and social media are absolutely ridiculous and I swear they either don't listen to what we're saying. It's okay to disagree I don't have a problem with people disagreeing with me.

49:45.15
J. Aundrea
Inca.

49:50.10
J. Aundrea
Yeah.

49:56.74
J. Aundrea
Yes.

50:00.83
Bruce Anthony
I'm not one of those type of people that thinks that they're always right I don't think I'm right? Well if I speak on it passionately I know I'm right? but I'm also willing to be shown if I'm wrong now always leave that open because I'm always like trying to expand my thought process.

50:02.31
J. Aundrea
Alright. M. Right.

50:19.90
Bruce Anthony
Like I I'm never going to be so stand on my ground that I won't listen to another person's opinion if it's an intelligent opinion I had somebody today give me and I know they they might listen to this and and yeah I'm throwing you under the bus give me an article today.

50:27.32
J. Aundrea
Oh.

50:39.44
Bruce Anthony
Said hey did you see this ah this 5 minute Youtube video about how we might be in a simulation I was like what are you talking about and it was like yeah they said it was about this protons and they did this study and the protons when they knew they were being monitored acted a certain way and when they knew they weren't being monitored. Didn't act a certain way I was like okay that's interesting. Where'd you get this from I was on Youtube. Okay, where'd you get this from like what's the source so they send me the source on Youtube and I was I'm looking for first of all, it's not 5 minutes to 20 minutes so they didn't watch the whole thing.

51:14.70
J. Aundrea
But they watched they watched it for 5 minutes yes

51:18.47
Bruce Anthony
They watch it for 5 minutes and and I was like okay so you didn't even get all the information from this that's number 1 number 2 Yes, my first major in college was journalism. There are certain standards that you have to have before you publish an article ah before you report on something right.

51:21.38
J. Aundrea
And.

51:37.73
Bruce Anthony
So I'm looking at any citations of where they credit information that they divulge in the video ah in the descriptions and there's nothing there right because well but they're not given opinion based information if you're giving opinion based information.

51:44.99
J. Aundrea
Um, right? because it's not. It's not because it's unreasonable and it's ridiculous.

51:57.16
Bruce Anthony
You can cite stuff if you want to, but it's your opinion. We have a lot of opinion I'll cite stuff when I need to cite stuff. But it's opinion based if we're giving factual information. We come with receipts this is where we got it from this is this is who's reporting it this and that so I go through and I'm like oh there's one name that I see that's in the descriptions.

51:57.64
J. Aundrea
