bruce_anthony:
Ja. I know it had to be more than that.

j__aundrea:
That was,

bruce_anthony:
There

j__aundrea:
I just

bruce_anthony:
was something

j__aundrea:
read you

bruce_anthony:
else.

j__aundrea:
the entire text. This is stuff

bruce_anthony:
Yeah, you're right. There was something else I had one to talk about. I just absolutely forgot about that. I got. so I said

j__aundrea:
As a,

bruce_anthony:

j__aundrea:
Yeah.

bruce_anthony:
That is age for you.

j__aundrea:

j__aundrea:
It's

bruce_anthony:
Now

j__aundrea:
kind

bruce_anthony:
I've

j__aundrea:
of tough because they find out you like a thing

bruce_anthony:
And give you everything

j__aundrea:
and then

bruce_anthony:
from

j__aundrea:
that

bruce_anthony:
that thing.

j__aundrea:
thing becomes your personality and I'm just like No, you can buy me other stuff. It's okay.

bruce_anthony:
It doesn't help that I got the Super Man tattoo for those

j__aundrea:
Yeah,

bruce_anthony:
as watching the video that got the Super Man tattoo. Let me let me go ahead and flex. You can see that the

j__aundrea:
I

bruce_anthony:
arms

j__aundrea:
need

bruce_anthony:
is

j__aundrea:
to

bruce_anthony:
big

j__aundrea:
see

bruce_anthony:
in there.

j__aundrea:
that five you call an arm. Oh,

bruce_anthony:
What? There Was Something else Before we got to Marjory, Taylor Green, there was something else I wanted to talk about and I just swear to God, I just completely forgot

j__aundrea:
Well, you never communicated it with me, so

bruce_anthony:
I didn't.

j__aundrea:
I can't

bruce_anthony:
I

j__aundrea:
help

bruce_anthony:
didn't.

j__aundrea:
you with

bruce_anthony:
It

j__aundrea:
it.

bruce_anthony:
was in my head and I was like, Oh, this would be funny and completely forgot. I come up with things. I wake up in the middle of night and be like, Oh, that would be funny to talk about. And you know if you don't write it right then and there

j__aundrea:
Keep in

bruce_anthony:
and you go to sleep

j__aundrea:
your bed. Keep a note.

bruce_anthony:
Well, I keep my phone next to my bed, But then when you went that half sleep, half wake mode and you try to go ahead and

j__aundrea:
That's

bruce_anthony:
and

j__aundrea:
why

bruce_anthony:
punch something

j__aundrea:
a

bruce_anthony:
in

j__aundrea:
book. It's easier to gribble down a couple of words than it is to turn your phone on. Open the notes at start a new note than type. people. See this is the thing about technology. People forget. it's easier to just take a pen and paper and just write the damn thing down.

bruce_anthony:
A.

j__aundrea:
It's easier to do that,

bruce_anthony:
When was the last time I got you a birthday car?

j__aundrea:
My analogue girl in the digital world.

bruce_anthony:
When as the last time I got your birthday card

j__aundrea:

bruce_anthony:
When

j__aundrea:
hope

bruce_anthony:
I, when

j__aundrea:
never,

bruce_anthony:
I came to,

j__aundrea:
because I hate birthday cards

bruce_anthony:
Will you all always send me a birthday card?

j__aundrea:
Because I feel like you like them.

bruce_anthony:
I do hold on to him like

j__aundrea:
Yeah,

bruce_anthony:
I've got every single one.

j__aundrea:

bruce_anthony:
Like I found one the other day where I was cleaning. I was doing some spring cleaning and it was my twenty first birthday and I still have that birthday car from you guys and mom and dad. Like so proud that you turn in twenty one. I was like. First of all, Now I think about it Why you're proud that I turned twenty one. Because

j__aundrea:
are

bruce_anthony:
day.

j__aundrea:
doing none of those things.

bruce_anthony:
All right, I was. That's a bit of exaggeration. but I was doing some of those things. I wouldn't shooting in the streets because I wouldn't have made it. I would have made this far and we all know

j__aundrea:
I

bruce_anthony:
that I'm not gonna

j__aundrea:

That That that, this instance that you can catch on after our show was the moment that I was like, Oh, I need to straighten up my act,

j__aundrea:
Yeah, and then we were

bruce_anthony:
But

j__aundrea:
good after that

bruce_anthony:
yeah, because I knew I was wrong when I'm wrong. Hey, look, one thing you got admit when I'm wrong, I'll apologize.

j__aundrea:
Yeah,

bruce_anthony:
I ain't want to tell people that Be like my uncle say I'm sorry. I said I'm sorry and ask for forgiveness

j__aundrea:
Yeah, you did.

bruce_anthony:
because that's how I

j__aundrea:
you

bruce_anthony:
get

j__aundrea:
were.

bruce_anthony:
real.

j__aundrea:
You

bruce_anthony:
Kay

j__aundrea:
were very contrite. You were very contrite to where people at work were like, Hey, come on, your brother's really sorry.

bruce_anthony:
Who is at work?

j__aundrea:
It was a couple people that came up to me because I want to say chat, Ramone. Maybe there was a couple people that came up to me and were like Hey, That were there that day. They didn't. They weren't there at the end of it at the end of the

bruce_anthony:
Yeah,

j__aundrea:
night, But they were like, Hey, seriously, you boys, sir, And I was like, Listen, I hear you, but he's dead to me. Check

bruce_anthony:
God

j__aundrea:
us out of the after hour show where you can hear a story of why One one time my brother was dead to me.

bruce_anthony:
All right, says, let's get

j__aundrea:
A,

bruce_anthony:
back into the show because we was lalage, But you know what, though, I think people enjoy the fact that we don't have nothing to say planned, and then we just go off on a tangent for a full fifteen minutes.

j__aundrea:
I think our tight five was right in there. It was in there somewhere

bruce_anthony:
Well, people don't know about a tight five, but but it might be in there. It actually might be in there. But let's get to more serious topics and let's talk about Marjorie Taylor Green,

j__aundrea:
There.

bruce_anthony:
Nd. I'm not gonna

j__aundrea:
That's

bruce_anthony:
pull up

j__aundrea:
the

bruce_anthony:
all

j__aundrea:
most

bruce_anthony:
the tweets.

j__aundrea:
unserious topic you can pick, but go ahead.

bruce_anthony:
No, it's serious because she's influential, influential,

j__aundrea:
Yeah,

bruce_anthony:
influential.

j__aundrea:
influence

bruce_anthony:
She's influential now in the Republican Party. She's she's a. She's one of the major voices. not just like a loud voice like she was. They gave her power. Kevin Macarthy gave her power, So she sent out a couple of tweets and had a couple of different things that I wanted to get your opinion on

j__aundrea:
And I'm blind. reacting to this. Everybody

bruce_anthony:
Blind reacting to it and I'm missed quoting her tweet because he don't have her tweet, so I'm paraphrasing her tweets, but the context of her tweets are extremely accurate, even though I'm paraphrasing. One of the first tweets was the reason why she didn't want to get rid of any of the Confederate monuments, Said it was the history. The same repeated things that they always say is the history and you know the culture and everything like that. And then she made a point. She was like. she doesn't understand why black people are still upset about that. It's a reminder of how far Or they've come having the confederate statues of that's that's number one. Number two. She called for a nation, divorce, not a civil war, as she calls it. We don't want to have a civil war, but the red states in the blue States just need to go ahead and separate it because it's irreconcilable differences, and she brought up instances where that you would have these, uh, when you're going through a divorce when two people are going through a divorce than have I reconcilable differences, And she's trying to say that the left and right have I reconcilable Differences, and the states should be divided into the red and the blue states. She

j__aundrea:
Treat

bruce_anthony:
later born, She later went on to say that there's so many people coming from the blue States and moving to the Red States, And I think that's just people moving to Florida during the pandemic, Because the weather was nice and

j__aundrea:
Well, Georgia

bruce_anthony:
it.

j__aundrea:
was historically and still, in a lot of ways there's a red state. But you got a lot of blue on Claves, because they a lot of they made it really Um. beneficial for companies to move their headquarters down here.

bruce_anthony:
M

j__aundrea:
Um, So you got a lot of people moving down here a lot of transplants because there's jobs, so Um in

bruce_anthony:
There

j__aundrea:
lowly,

bruce_anthony:
you go. right there.

j__aundrea:
I mean, Um. As far As the general election, this has been a democratic state. Now our local election

bruce_anthony:
Still

j__aundrea:
still pretty

bruce_anthony:
well.

j__aundrea:
read,

bruce_anthony:
Local is still pretty red. Um, so she said, With all these people, all these people from the blue States move to the red States and they want to bring their values to the red state. She suggested that, maybe that even though they move to the blue states, that they still pay their taxes and they still contribute to the states. But maybe they don't get a chance to vote for five years. That way they can impart their values on on the red States. And then what was the last one? Oh, there's E, s G, and it's the environmental. It's something to monitor companies and make sure they're following

j__aundrea:
Environmental,

bruce_anthony:
environmental.

j__aundrea:
social and corporate governance.

bruce_anthony:
Yes, so it's there specifically to make sure the corporations are following environmental. Government. Government got lines and she

j__aundrea:
M.

bruce_anthony:
is saying that that's a detriment. The companies. Meanwhile, we just had to train wreck and spending tech, toxic gases and chemicals in east Palestine, Ohio.

j__aundrea:
Hm

bruce_anthony:
All because during the Trump administration they rolled back some of the protections that the Boma administer Son put on to make sure that corporations weren't taking short cuts and transporting hasartous materials. So she is on one, and I say that she isn't. She has an influential voice in the party because she's on a couple of important committees, and Kevin Macarthy is saying there's a report that in private conversations, Kevin Mccarthy is saying I'll never turn my back on that woman and I'm like Okay, Oh good, God, like this is, This is going to be a voice. Least for the Republican House. For the next two years, she got a lot of power and she is on all the right wing talked networks every night spewing this stuff and saying that I know some people that agree with me. She's literally calling for a national divorce between the red and Blue States. So that's all the information I got owner Go.

j__aundrea:
It.

bruce_anthony:
That's I'm just

j__aundrea:
I

bruce_anthony:
like

j__aundrea:
mean,

bruce_anthony:
and go.

j__aundrea:
what part of any of that is not treason?

bruce_anthony:
All of it is seditious, all of it

j__aundrea:
Yes,

bruce_anthony:
all of it.

j__aundrea:
um, boy, talk about saying the quiet part out loud. Um,

bruce_anthony:
M. Hm.

j__aundrea:
well, taking treason off the table.

bruce_anthony:
Yeah,

j__aundrea:
This idea of the conscious uncoupling of red and blue states is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of in my life because People are not a monolith. Just because the majority of the people who voted that time voted one way doesn't mean that everybody in that state they didn't get a hundred per cent of the vote. What are you even talking about?

bruce_anthony:
That's your state, too. She's considering your state a red state because

j__aundrea:
No,

bruce_anthony:
she's that's her district.

j__aundrea:
listen,

bruce_anthony:
Her district is definitely raid. Yeah, I know I know. as I'm getting to, you know me. I don't typically getting mad. I look at these type of situations and I smirk and I laugh because I know I know about history and I know how things will kind of play out. I'm like Victor timely. I'm like King the Conqueror. Without conquering anything, I know how time is going to end up, and I know

j__aundrea:
M.

bruce_anthony:
how history is going to view these people right. I know what it's going to be in thirty four years, and how they're going to be viewed. They're going to be viewed like berry gold Water. Right, Going to be viewed like. Um, let's just stick with Barry, Got water, because he's not viewed favorably at all, But like so, I normally smirke at these things, but she legitimately reading these text messages and watching her interviews. I legit got mad.

j__aundrea:
She's been testing you and I'm kidding.

bruce_anthony:
No, hell, no, please, no,

j__aundrea:
Yeah, I'm not mad. I'm disgusted. but the thing, the thing is, this is not a new. Nothing she's saying is very new. It's not very revolutionary. It's just the person saying it right now.

bruce_anthony:
Hm.

j__aundrea:
we all know that America is not a country as a corporation. So the idea of rolling back protections, and You know, the prioritization of corporate greed over corporate responsibility. This idea of looking at the Republican Party in terms of like, murder and acquisitions and things like that like this, This is the. I mean. Yeah, this is part of the course. Oh, it's just that we are so dissensitized and jaded and disillusioned that A member of Congress can be seditious to this extent on a hugely public platform, And nothing is going to happen to her. Nothing.

bruce_anthony:
Well, no, it's not just Twitter like she's posting these tweets on on Twitter. Obviously because you tweet on Twitter. but

j__aundrea:
Yeah,

bruce_anthony:
like she's on the She's on Fox, she's on

j__aundrea:
Yeah,

bruce_anthony:
O, a N. she's on. What's the other one?

j__aundrea:
She has no reason

bruce_anthony:
Bright bar

j__aundrea:
be.

bruce_anthony:
She's like on all of them.

j__aundrea:
she has no reason to be afraid.

bruce_anthony:
No,

j__aundrea:
None.

bruce_anthony:
because they gave

j__aundrea:
I

bruce_anthony:
her

j__aundrea:
don't.

bruce_anthony:
power

j__aundrea:
I don't know what they talked about in order for Mccarthy to get the vote so they can be speaker. I don't know what he promised to anyone. Okay,

bruce_anthony:
Hold on.

j__aundrea:
but he made some promises. There were

bruce_anthony:
I

j__aundrea:
some.

bruce_anthony:
got it.

j__aundrea:
She got some things on him. Okay,

bruce_anthony:
I got a theory.

j__aundrea:
go ahead.

bruce_anthony:
This is unsolicited perspective and it's just my unsolicited perspective

j__aundrea:
Oh, I'm soliciting

bruce_anthony:
right.

j__aundrea:
it. What's the theory?

bruce_anthony:
She gave him some of that good good and he was

j__aundrea:
She

bruce_anthony:
like

j__aundrea:
ain't got. No, she ain't got. No. She gave him something.

bruce_anthony:
to Kevin Mccarthy. I guarantee you that was that good good

j__aundrea:
Yeah, Well,

bruce_anthony:
to Kevin Mccarthy. She was sunshine, and if you all don't know who sunshine is, Watch Harlem nights one time of your life.

j__aundrea:
Please watch Harlem nights.

bruce_anthony:
It had to be. it has to be like. I understand. She got a little bit of pull to to that to that radical right extremest wing

j__aundrea:
Yeah, that she is one of the voices of that wind.

bruce_anthony:
And she pulled. She got a lot of she gets. She gets that money. She gets them donors.

j__aundrea:
Yeah,

bruce_anthony:
she gets them donors.

j__aundrea:
and unfortunately, and this did not start with Trump, but unfortunately,

bruce_anthony:
M.

j__aundrea:
the Republican Party over the last Fifteen years have backed themselves into a corner.

bruce_anthony:
It was O. eight.

j__aundrea:
Yeah,

bruce_anthony:
It was Sarah Alan. It was. It

j__aundrea:
yeah,

bruce_anthony:
was given Sarah Alan, a voice. That's

j__aundrea:
Yes,

bruce_anthony:
they had all that stuff in check.

j__aundrea:
I'm sorry, but is not Lawrence Borbert, Sarah, like they even look identical.

bruce_anthony:
Yeah, see this is my thing. This is. what's this? What's crazy to me? Here's the misogenistic side of me. All right. Here's what's crazy to me. Lawenbarbart is absolutely prettier than Marjorie Taylor Green.

j__aundrea:
Hm,

stereotype.

j__aundrea:
they

bruce_anthony:

j__aundrea:

bruce_anthony:
the

j__aundrea:
eat

bruce_anthony:
Senate.

j__aundrea:
children

bruce_anthony:
Well,

j__aundrea:
so

bruce_anthony:
this that's what they're accusing the Democrats of doing.

j__aundrea:
Well

bruce_anthony:
Well,

j__aundrea:
he

bruce_anthony:
You know what?

j__aundrea:
dealt it.

bruce_anthony:
That's that? I was just goin. Say how you throw somebody off the scent.

j__aundrea:
M.

bruce_anthony:
She blamed another person.

j__aundrea:
Hm.

bruce_anthony:
Well, Okay and I have to keep saying she doesn't have a major influence on the G. O. P. She has a major influence on

j__aundrea:
The

bruce_anthony:
sex.

j__aundrea:
fringe

bruce_anthony:
The G.

j__aundrea:
that they have backed themselves into a corner,

bruce_anthony:
Well, she's

j__aundrea:
having

bruce_anthony:
she's gotta,

j__aundrea:
handed to Yes,

bruce_anthony:
but she's got some power in the House, but the Senate. I don't really want to give the go P. Senate too much credit, but I will say that they are calling out the people in the House, and let's make it clear the Senate has to be when somebody s elected to the Senate. The entire state votes on them. When

j__aundrea:
Hm,

bruce_anthony:
somebody is elected to the House of Representative. It's a district.

j__aundrea:
Forty eight people voted for you.

bruce_anthony:
Well, it's a little bit. She got a little bit more than forty eight people. But but it can't Was not no

j__aundrea:
It's not forty apeshotimes.

bruce_anthony:
state state, No state representatives can. Actually, it can be that small, but not not

j__aundrea:
I mean,

bruce_anthony:
Congress.

j__aundrea:
how many people I would like to know the thathisis, How many people are voting for Congressman in like North Decota, I don't know why I see the decotas as uninhabited.

bruce_anthony:
Everybody always well Because they say that there's more people, There's way more people in like New York City than in

j__aundrea:
Hm.

bruce_anthony:
both the North and Dakota is combined.

j__aundrea:
Per,

bruce_anthony:
I think they said North Dakota, North, South Dakota and Idaho as more people in New York City than in all then,

j__aundrea:
Yeah,

bruce_anthony:
compared to all three of those states. Because you know they got a lot of land and not a lot of people,

j__aundrea:
Yeah,

bruce_anthony:
I would. I would not want to be on tender out there,

j__aundrea:
Listen, it's like through your cousins, your third grade teacher is sad,

bruce_anthony:
Miss Roberts,

j__aundrea:
so grown up. No, yes,

bruce_anthony:
Miss Roberts got to be sixty seven years old, sixty

j__aundrea:
Listen,

bruce_anthony:
seventy years

j__aundrea:
progress

bruce_anthony:
old.

j__aundrea:
ye love, too.

bruce_anthony:
Well, No, she was man.

j__aundrea:
She was mean to her students

bruce_anthony:
Yeah,

j__aundrea:
a tender lover. Oh Yeah,

bruce_anthony:
Oh,

j__aundrea:
O God,

bruce_anthony:
Okay, since it's now time to talk about brother and Sister Day, and I'm interested to find out what your new perspective is on Brother and Sister Day. But for those people out there who obviously don't know what brother and sister Day is

j__aundrea:
How would they know?

bruce_anthony:
right, I am the oldest of me, my sister and our younger brother. My sister is in the middle. I'm the oldest. Obviously, our brother is the youngest and it's a four. It's a four year difference, tween me and my sister in a five and a half year difference between me and my brother Year and a half about

j__aundrea:
It's a year

bruce_anthony:
between

j__aundrea:
and half

bruce_anthony:
them,

j__aundrea:
almost.

bruce_anthony:
Yeagonna, have kay, it is, It's exactly almost exactly a year and a half

j__aundrea:
Hm.

bruce_anthony:
between them. and because I was so much older and they always had a tight bond, I always took it upon myself to be like, Hey, we're goin a do. brother and sister day. we're going to do. We're going to be close and I don't know if it was because subconsciously I saw my mom and dad not be really close to the

j__aundrea:
M.

bruce_anthony:
links,

j__aundrea:
Hm.

bruce_anthony:
and that I went to make sure that I was close to my sib. Or if I just wanted to make them do whatever the hell I wanted them to do. I don't know which one it is. They'll tell you that I was selfish.

j__aundrea:
I think it's

bruce_anthony:
Uh,

j__aundrea:
to both. I think

bruce_anthony:
it probably is a little bit of

j__aundrea:
I

bruce_anthony:
both,

j__aundrea:
think you were bored and lonely.

bruce_anthony:
But I had friends. It's

j__aundrea:
But

bruce_anthony:
not like I.

j__aundrea:
whatever day you just, you woke up that day and decided

bruce_anthony:
Ye.

j__aundrea:
it was brother and sister Dad. It meant

bruce_anthony:
Well, we

j__aundrea:
you wanted to do something and you weren't going to ask your friends to do it

bruce_anthony:
All right so we know me and I only have a certain amount of band with for people.

j__aundrea:
Right.

bruce_anthony:
But so it might have been. Hey, I don't want to see my friends a kick with my friends today, but I kind of don't want to just sit and play video games up by myself. You know, Wha Im gonna do? I'm gonna make it Brother and Sister day. Because they were random as hale.

j__aundrea:
There were. There was no rhyme or reason

bruce_anthony:
I would just

j__aundrea:
that

bruce_anthony:
wake up in the morning

j__aundrea:
woke

bruce_anthony:
as

j__aundrea:
up.

bruce_anthony:
brother and sister Day.

j__aundrea:
Yes, the thing is, the title of the day belies the fact that we had no autonomy or agency and in the planning of the day the choosing we, we had no. No say. it was

bruce_anthony:
So this is where you. All This is where you all say you know. it was all about you, Bruce, and it was just

j__aundrea:
Well,

bruce_anthony:
you, Dan

j__aundrea:
I,

bruce_anthony:
and I was

j__aundrea:
I

bruce_anthony:
like. what,

j__aundrea:
get it to a certain extent because it's true at that time growing up, it didn't really seem You know. there's a big age gap between our mom and her younger siblings. Our mom's

bruce_anthony:
Mhm,

j__aundrea:
oldest and then our dad's the youngest and there's

bruce_anthony:
Right,

j__aundrea:
an age gap between him and his siblngs. Not as much, but there's an age gap between him and his sling, so um, you know, obviously like Remember them, but holidays and things like that. growing up here we would go visit or they would come and visit us, but it didn't seem like it wasn't like my parents called their siblings every day to chop it up.

bruce_anthony:
Right,

j__aundrea:
Okay,

bruce_anthony:
it did not.

j__aundrea:
but they did a lot and reinforce within us. Hey, we're not always going to be here. The three of you need to be close,

bruce_anthony:
They did do that. they did that a lot. You. right. Yes,

j__aundrea:
So I think the idea of Brother and Sister Day was born out of that, which is very admirable. The execution. It was terrible.

bruce_anthony:
Well, and I was old sibling, and I can openly admit that selfish that

j__aundrea:
Yeah,

bruce_anthony:
I was. I don't know. when I got rid of my selfish nature. It probably didn't happen until I was around thirty.

j__aundrea:
Yeah,

bruce_anthony:
Probably selfish all the way up in there and selfish,

j__aundrea:
No, probably

bruce_anthony:
selfish self absorbed. Definitely,

j__aundrea:
You were

bruce_anthony:
uh,

j__aundrea:
bred.

bruce_anthony:
yeah, I was Brad,

j__aundrea:
M.

bruce_anthony:
Boys, to tell you, good God, like we would go out to the club And if and if I didn't find a woman that night, it was a bad night and it was going

j__aundrea:
Yeah,

bruce_anthony:
to be a bad night for everybody.

j__aundrea:
for

bruce_anthony:
Like

j__aundrea:
everybody,

bruce_anthony:
I was. I was not a good friend.

j__aundrea:
M.

bruce_anthony:
Sometimes I was not a good brother, but I remember, and of course you wouldn't remember, because you weren't born. I remember begging mom and dad for I said brother. At first I said brother,

j__aundrea:
Hm,

bruce_anthony:
But when you came it was like I got a little sister

j__aundrea:
Yeah,

bruce_anthony:
and it was like you're my little sister and I changed our younger brothers dipers. it was like I loved you guys. and

j__aundrea:
Yeah,

bruce_anthony:
though I was, and there's a big difference between eight and twelve,

j__aundrea:
Yes,

bruce_anthony:
thirteen and nine. and that's just going to Asia, between me and you, sixteen

j__aundrea:
Yes,

bruce_anthony:
and twelve. Like like there's even though it's only four years like there's a big difference,

j__aundrea:
Yeah,

bruce_anthony:
but I always wanted to make it a point like Hey, I heard doing things. I'm going to this town playing baskwli'm. going to this tournament, but you know that I rocked with you all right, and so to me it was just like showing love, but also it was showing love. We're doing the things that I want to do.

j__aundrea:
Yes,

bruce_anthony:
It was

j__aundrea:
yes,

bruce_anthony:
because I never really going to the video store is the one example that I know that you all always bring up that we watch the same movies over and over and over,

j__aundrea:
Yeah, it was above the rim. Um, what else would we watch? I feel like I

bruce_anthony:
T. B, Four and Fear the Black Cat.

j__aundrea:
wear the black At Those were

bruce_anthony:
Depending

j__aundrea:
the

bruce_anthony:
on what mood that we was in,

j__aundrea:
what

bruce_anthony:
it was

j__aundrea:
moved

bruce_anthony:
either

j__aundrea:
you?

bruce_anthony:
C, B

j__aundrea:
Yeah, if you were feeling dramatic, we're watching above the rim. If you were feeling really silly, it was fear of a black hat. If you were feeling kind of silly, It was C before and that was that was it. That was it.

bruce_anthony:
And sub and Pica Boles, and we got Pizabollis

j__aundrea:
Yeah

bruce_anthony:
and shout out to Pisa, Boles and matrelastiks and Billy

j__aundrea:
And

bruce_anthony:
Cheese Stakes.

j__aundrea:
I have. There has never been a time in my life where I like sub sandwiches. Never,

bruce_anthony:
All right, but hold on.

j__aundrea:
I hate sub sandwiches.

bruce_anthony:
I would always make brother and sister that when I got into high school, Brother and sister the like, literally, my boys. When they watched this, they're gonna be like. Oh, so your parents didn't say that you couldn't go out Because I would tell them. It's like mom and dad saying I can't go outbecause. I went out last night. I would lie to him because I was

j__aundrea:
M.

bruce_anthony:
like Okay, Mom and Dad were gonna go out. You all were old enough to stay in the house by yourself and I was just like

j__aundrea:
M.

bruce_anthony:
now. I'm just going to stay home and we're gonna make a brother and sister night because I remember, and I don't know if you remember when we were living in Columbia When we were young. I was eleven. You are seven

j__aundrea:
I was

bruce_anthony:
at.

j__aundrea:
given

bruce_anthony:
Our brother was

j__aundrea:
a

bruce_anthony:
five and a half. six. Nick at night was our thing.

j__aundrea:
There was

bruce_anthony:
You know, we would stay up watching

j__aundrea:
Green

bruce_anthony:
Nick

j__aundrea:
a

bruce_anthony:
and night,

j__aundrea:
Dig Van Dyke show.

bruce_anthony:
And during that time I felt like that was important for us to be tight.

j__aundrea:
Yeah,

bruce_anthony:
But I'm naturally a loner

j__aundrea:
At the same time, I do not remember you during that time, except

bruce_anthony:
Because

j__aundrea:
in the

bruce_anthony:
I was

j__aundrea:
sings when we were watching. T. because you were playing basketball.

bruce_anthony:
Because I'm a loner right like I'm naturally

j__aundrea:
Yeah,

bruce_anthony:
a loner.

j__aundrea:
yeah,

bruce_anthony:
So it was like, but I need to spend time with brother and sister, but it was like all right, but I got to also have my time where it's just me doing my own thing, where this

j__aundrea:
Yeah,

bruce_anthony:
meek going to the basketball court and me down there playing Sekagenesis Lakes versus Celtic was my best friend

j__aundrea:
Yeah,

bruce_anthony:
was

j__aundrea:
I

bruce_anthony:
my

j__aundrea:
like that game, too. I was always the Portland Trail Blazers because they made all the threes.

bruce_anthony:
Okay.

j__aundrea:
We.

bruce_anthony:
But so your new perspective is exactly what? From that?

j__aundrea:
Well, So and I mean, you can get a little glimpse of it and just your explanation just now that sometimes you felt like you didn't have the band with to deal with people, but you had enough to deal with your siblings like we didn't have the language at that time to know that Okay, I have anxiety or I'm introverted and I don't have. I don't always have spacer Capacity for other people, And we didn't have. We didn't have the language. and even if we did at that time other people didn't have you know. we grew up in an era where mental health was still very much stigmatized.

bruce_anthony:
Hm,

j__aundrea:
Um,

bruce_anthony:
Yes,

j__aundrea:
and I'll tell you, Hey, I got. I'm loud and proud about mine. Now I got a therapist and a psychiatrist. Okay and I just moved up my therapy from from once every other week to at now I'm doing it every week. I don't have to probe. shame of my game.

bruce_anthony:
Ain't no look here Ain't no shame in that at all.

j__aundrea:
Yes, I'm on anti depressence,

bruce_anthony:
Why

j__aundrea:
Get

bruce_anthony:
tell?

j__aundrea:
you see, The smilingness of this is genuine.

bruce_anthony:
And you know what's fun was funny, Is that for the most part, nowadays nowadays the majority, I'm not going to say for everyone. the majority of women is not hard to convince. Hey, you should talk to somebody.

j__aundrea:
Hm

bruce_anthony:
But there's still a stigma with men talking to somebody

j__aundrea:
Among

bruce_anthony:
and

j__aundrea:
men

bruce_anthony:
and

j__aundrea:
among men, because women are really like. Hey, guys go to therapy.

bruce_anthony:
Right among men, And I have some friends and I had some friend, and I'm not going to put them out there. Who what their names are? Because that's just now what we're doing the show. But but I'll tell him. S like Yeah, I have anxiety and it was like Really You got anxiety. I was like Yes, bro, like I tell the story, And these are people that I've known from high school was like. Yeah, bro. You remember when they had to rush me to the hospital? Oh, yeah. I do remember that. Yeah, I had a panic attack on a sixteen when they had to rush me out of the hospital Like

j__aundrea:
Yeah,

bruce_anthony:
somebody.

j__aundrea:
yeah,

bruce_anthony:
Somebody were mom, Dad, The doctor is some councilors at school. Somebody should have known this cat got anxiety.

j__aundrea:
Yeah,

bruce_anthony:
But but I didn't really see that I had anxiety until my ex wife. Who who I credit for pointing out to me and showing me in my own eyes? Oh, you're anxious right now, and I was like. What do you mean I would do these nervous ticks where I would if you're watching the video. I would do like this when I'm watching T. V,

j__aundrea:
That. yes,

bruce_anthony:
and she would be like You're nervous right now. You're anxious right now. What's going on to your head? I couldn't recognize it. I wouldn't

j__aundrea:
Hm,

bruce_anthony:
be like. I'd be like. No, I'm not anxious and nervous. She's

j__aundrea:
But

bruce_anthony:
like

j__aundrea:
your body will tell you your body.

bruce_anthony:
your body would tell you.

j__aundrea:
Hey girl,

bruce_anthony:
she's well, I'm

j__aundrea:
you're now. I'm talking about me.

bruce_anthony:
okay. Okay

j__aundrea:
I had panic attacks. I'm luckily, I haven't had a bad panic attack in years, but I would be pushing myself pushing myself, pushing myself and I didn't because I did not realize

bruce_anthony:
Right.

j__aundrea:
you on the verge, Honey, and then my body was like. Oh, Since you're not going to acknowledge it, I'm gonna let you know by just we're just going to shut everything down right

bruce_anthony:
Shout

j__aundrea:
now.

bruce_anthony:
everything down.

j__aundrea:
Your body will tell you. so, yeah, I, I look em back on it and it's just really. I really love that Gens is growing up in a time where

bruce_anthony:
Hm.

j__aundrea:
mental health advocacy is just huge and people are really in

bruce_anthony:
But

j__aundrea:
their therapy era.

bruce_anthony:
but our generation,

j__aundrea:
Shout out to them

bruce_anthony:
not everybody, but our generation will call them soft and weak, and I'm like these are the strongest ones because

j__aundrea:
Annex

bruce_anthony:
they realize that well, genaxand Milennials will call Gnz soft and weak, Right

j__aundrea:
Milena,

bruce_anthony:
and I'm saying

j__aundrea:
the ones that started going to therapy and break

bruce_anthony:
The younger millennials, you

j__aundrea:
you.

bruce_anthony:
forget I'm on that line

j__aundrea:
Yes,

bruce_anthony:
because I'm on that line.

j__aundrea:
Genixgenix,

bruce_anthony:
And what?

j__aundrea:
they self medicated.

bruce_anthony:
Oh yeah, that was a cocaine era

j__aundrea:
Yeah, they said

bruce_anthony:
like some of them are still doing cocaine.

j__aundrea:
yeah, but milennials are the ones that were like. You know what I know, that everybody is gonna look at me funny at Thanksgiving, But I'm going to therapy because I can't. I'm tired o. Somethin's not right here. I'm some

bruce_anthony:
Okay,

j__aundrea:
right with me and I'm just going to do it because I remember when I first started talking about my mental health and the kind of like side eye looks I would, Especially from like older family members and people telling me to pray about. I was like you know, and the

bruce_anthony:
Pray

j__aundrea:
thing

bruce_anthony:
about

j__aundrea:
I used

bruce_anthony:
it

j__aundrea:
to say is how do I know that the answer to my prayer isn't therapy,

bruce_anthony:
Right.

j__aundrea:
so I think it's growing up in that time where mental health was still stigmatized and then also not having the language of saying. I feel really anxious. but being around my sib In and doing something familiar gives me a sense of control and

bruce_anthony:
Huh?

j__aundrea:
gives me a feeling of calm. And so I'm goin do that right now to kind of cope with these feelings of anxiety that I'm having, And so I'm going to watch the same movie. I'm going to eat the same food, and I'm gonna hang out with my siblings because I know that even though they don't like any of the stuff, they are excited to spend time with me and they still want to do it.

bruce_anthony:
Did you not like any of the stuff? Come on. now, we still quote

j__aundrea:
We had

bruce_anthony:
yeah,

j__aundrea:
had fun ribbing you about the fact that we're doing the same thing. But you know they say that a coping mechanism for anxiety and I do this is watching the same thing over and over with watching the same show watching the same movie.

bruce_anthony:
M,

j__aundrea:
That's because I know how it's going to end. There's no surprises. I have complete control over the site. I can skip over the parts I don't want to see. I can re. watch the parts I do want to see. So you're watching the same movie, eating the same food With two people that you've known your entire life, that know you

bruce_anthony:
M.

j__aundrea:
through and through Because you're having this is, you're not feeling like yourself and you need to get back to base line.

bruce_anthony:
I didn't realize

j__aundrea:
And that's

bruce_anthony:
that's what

j__aundrea:
why

bruce_anthony:
I

j__aundrea:
Brother

bruce_anthony:
was doing.

j__aundrea:
insisted Day was so random for us

bruce_anthony:
It was.

j__aundrea:
For us.

bruce_anthony:
It

j__aundrea:
it

bruce_anthony:
was

j__aundrea:
was random.

bruce_anthony:
a random for sale. It was like we have a brother sister day today.

j__aundrea:
Yeah, and think about it. You're getting calls from your friends. Hey, let's go. I let's go out again. An you're like. I just don't have it in me to do that. I want to do something comfortable. No, I'm gonna stay home and kick it with my siblings and watch the same movie and watch before again. Any piece of bolles again. I do like subs now, but only from Fire house. That is not an add. They just make really really good subs,

bruce_anthony:
But if you all want to

j__aundrea:
But

bruce_anthony:
buy

j__aundrea:
if they do

bruce_anthony:
at,

j__aundrea:
want, if they

bruce_anthony:
you

j__aundrea:
do

bruce_anthony:
know,

j__aundrea:
want to buy a space and delicious sups, Um, but no, At the time I hated sub sandwiches, hated them.

bruce_anthony:
But the box of rolla sticks though,

j__aundrea:
I love some masrelscooks like

bruce_anthony:
And

j__aundrea:
I

bruce_anthony:
remember, remember the cheese fries. We put the bacon in the cheese fries and everything like that.

j__aundrea:
not get like wedge fries down here in the foil tin covered in the manse. Relate, you can't get that down here and it drives me insane. Also seven eleven, but that's

bruce_anthony:
There's no seven eleven down there.

j__aundrea:
seven eleven stops like Virginia, maybe in North Carolina.

bruce_anthony:
Know that

j__aundrea:
seven eleven Now, while Widout did nothing down here, we got race track and quick trip. those are our. but they're very

bruce_anthony:
What?

j__aundrea:
good. Also, I do enjoy race track.

bruce_anthony:
And once again, if you want to buy add time, go ahead by that time. J. that's that was very Wow. I didn't realize that that's what I was doing, but yes, that's

j__aundrea:
Yeah,

bruce_anthony:
absolutely that what you just said makes absolute sense.

j__aundrea:
Therapy.

bruce_anthony:
Yes, Yeah, no, and it's funny because like I said earlier, I'd be trying to get on certain friends. Uh, because, because I'm old, They're talking about my anxiety.

j__aundrea:
M.

bruce_anthony:
I don't feel like this. No shame in it. It's funny because I will talk about my anxiety and still say, and in same breath still say, I'm smacking your mouth. If you talk slit like

j__aundrea:
Yeah,

bruce_anthony:
like like. It's decreasing my manhood somehow by talking about my anxiety. But no,

j__aundrea:
Yeah,

bruce_anthony:
that's not what it is. And guess what

j__aundrea:
Really

bruce_anthony:
I tell you,

j__aundrea:
people, especially after the pandemic are experiencing. I mean the the. I, just, actually, I read a study not that long ago where men are four times more likely to commit suicide than women like. It's especially

bruce_anthony:
Hm,

j__aundrea:
after the pandemic, especially among black men. The rise in suicide. we need to start talking about.

bruce_anthony:
We need

j__aundrea:
I

bruce_anthony:
to start

j__aundrea:
feel

bruce_anthony:
talking

j__aundrea:
anxious. we need to start talking about.

bruce_anthony:
That song.

j__aundrea:
I feel

bruce_anthony:
That's

j__aundrea:
sad. You

bruce_anthony:
yeah.

j__aundrea:
know

bruce_anthony:
That's strong, silent type. That's not a good thing.

j__aundrea:
They don't

bruce_anthony:
That's

j__aundrea:
live

bruce_anthony:
not

j__aundrea:
long.

bruce_anthony:
that they don't stroke heart attacks.

j__aundrea:
Yeah,

bruce_anthony:
That's that's what happened and so I d be trying to tell my friends like Hey, like, I'll see certain, because my ex wife once again I credit her pointing out these are mannerisms of of you having anxiety

j__aundrea:
Hm,

bruce_anthony:
and you need to what's going on right now. You need to examine it because you're You're tryin Projected outwork, but you're not. You're not dealing with what it is.

j__aundrea:
M,

bruce_anthony:
I d be like I'm not anxious right now and then she would ask me certain questions and Ud be like Well, you know, Guess this has been on my mind and this and that. So I have certain friends that I've known for years and they'll have certain looks on their face and I'm like you're anxious right now.

j__aundrea:
Hm,

bruce_anthony:
Like no. I'm just thinking like you're anxious right

j__aundrea:
Where

bruce_anthony:
now.

j__aundrea:
I just feel some type of way

bruce_anthony:
Yeah, you're

j__aundrea:
this

bruce_anthony:
anxious right now

j__aundrea:
year.

bruce_anthony:
like you zoned and disassociate it all The way out,

j__aundrea:
Yeah,

bruce_anthony:
or you've been drinking a lot lately, or you've been eating a lot, like,

j__aundrea:
Hm.

bruce_anthony:
like, Why are you always talking about all these restaurants and bad food that you eat? You've been eating a lot later. Like these are all things that people do to deal with anxiety and stress

j__aundrea:
Yeah,

bruce_anthony:
and depression, Right and anxiety can lead to depression. Like people just say with depression like they're intertwined

j__aundrea:
The

bruce_anthony:
like

j__aundrea:
yes.

bruce_anthony:
they're intertwined. So it's crazy that we started off on the topic talking about Brother Sis. They ended up talking about anxiety, depression and people that don't want to acknowledge the fact that they got anxiety and depression. You all better stop playing out here. It's for real,

j__aundrea:
Yeah,

bruce_anthony:
they used to say was was a silent killer, No anxiety, stress, depression. Those are the silent

j__aundrea:
For

bruce_anthony:
killers

j__aundrea:
now, All of that all of the things that we're feeling

bruce_anthony:
You write. But on that note J, what you got to tell the people out there?

j__aundrea:
Happy Black history Month All,

bruce_anthony:
Oh

j__aundrea:
We're still bigger and blacker than ever.

bruce_anthony:
Yeah, and on that note Halla.
