02:01.30
Bruce Anthony
Of course the news shows you the absolute worst scenes and I don't see this orange hue and that's that's that's reflecting in the camera. It's bad but it ain't that bad I mean you could smell smoke. It's crazy because you go outside and it's like I smell smoke.
02:04.54
J. Aundrea

02:15.35
J. Aundrea
Um, right? That's insane who's barbecuing right.
02:20.95
Bruce Anthony

Um, but you know it is what it is I was talking to 1 of my clients who usually live out in California who now resides in arkassas and she she works for Nasa and a lot of her colleagues are based here in Dc. . and they were complaining because obviously we're not used to this but her being in California and she is like oh I don't feel bad for you guys because y'all always say it's no big deal I was like I have never said. It's no big deal I don't know why you yeah right.
02:40.43
J. Aundrea
Um, and no.
02:50.14
J. Aundrea
I I don't think I have ever said wildfires displacing and killing people is not a big deal. It's a big deal. But yeah.
02:58.72
Bruce Anthony
What you speak is she speak is specifically to the smoke but I was just like I've never said anything stop lumping me in as 1 big group so you have a couple people that may have said some. It's not the entire group I'm not happy right now and I'm not trying to deal with this.
03:07.91
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah.
03:12.79
J. Aundrea
No no.
03:17.90
Bruce Anthony
But I mean that's what's going on I mean I guess in ah and a perfect segue where there's smoke. There's fire and the G O P Presidential Race right now is already fire.
03:29.25
J. Aundrea
I You know I saw the candidates so far I wouldn't say it's It's fire. It's lukewarm everyone is good you you explained to me because this seemed very what do you do? What do you.
03:36.16
Bruce Anthony
No well I'll tell you why it's fire. Okay.
03:46.49
J. Aundrea
Half is when you mix hot water and cold water. Okay, it lukewarm It seemed very room temperature.
03:49.52
Bruce Anthony
Um.
03:52.48
Bruce Anthony
Ah, well because Trump was already to set. It was already attacking our man Ron Desanttos desanttos I purposely mess up his name if y'all haven't been listening to the show we call him Ronald or Rhonda desanttos.
03:58.60
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah.
04:02.88
J. Aundrea
Are yes.
04:08.93
Bruce Anthony
Ah, but he's been. He calling them the sactimonious or something like that. It's hate look I I do not support the former president in United States president former president Trump in any way except for his humor that dude is hilarious. He.
04:23.14
J. Aundrea
He could think of some names he could think of some names for sure. Yes, yes, yes.
04:27.58
Bruce Anthony
But they're so Juvenile they're so Juvenile they're like elementary middle school names. So they're just they're not clever, but they're just funny that this grown as man that was the leader of the most powerful nation resort to elementary middle school nicknames.
04:43.34
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah.
04:46.54
Bruce Anthony
But then Chris Christie came out yesterday. He came out swinging. He's not like being on these other politicians who are tiptoeing around Trump he's going straight at Trump calling him out all types of stuff saying he was unfit this and that and it's funny. Because Chris Christie was like his right hand man helping him with the transition team.
05:04.64
J. Aundrea
He's so sometime me that I don't even you know I don't know that that guy so sometimey because you know he did the same thing with ah with former president Obama he was. He was very anti-obama and then sandy hit and all a sudden they rolling up their sleeves together and their best friends like he's so sometimey that I I just can't humpty dumpy. Go have to stay up on that wall for a little while longer before I could.
05:34.32
Bruce Anthony
I' I'm not I'm I'm not gonna attack him because Trump was already attacking Trump but Trump put out it now he called him nothing he put out a video where ah Chris Christie was actually like a real video of him giving a speech but in the video he had a photoshop.
05:40.72
J. Aundrea
Um, what do you call us.
05:51.93
Bruce Anthony
But Chris Christie had a big plate of food as he was given a speech yeah, a sweat got Trump Trump it is team is hilarious but that so.
05:57.89
J. Aundrea
And and but Trump's big body ass. Don't really have much to say we've seen him we'd seen him in the little white golf shorts. He got a he got a double bbl.
06:12.53
Bruce Anthony
Ah, ah, but this is what I'll give Chris Christie because I saw him on a Cnn interview with Jake Tapper and Jake Tapper was calling them a task ah same thing that you were saying was calling him task by because Jake Tapper I love Jake Tapper
06:20.93
J. Aundrea
Is.
06:30.61
Bruce Anthony
Ah, cause Jake Tapper gonna get in there and he gonna ask you tough questions and he go look at you crazy if you say something stupid. he' gonna be like what you just said Domino damn sense. Do you want to read that answer so he was like Chris Christie you know you was used to be down with Trump used rwood and part of transition team. Why switch up.
06:32.73
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah.
06:38.78
J. Aundrea
Right? fair.
06:49.20
Bruce Anthony
And Chris Christie gave it like an honest opinion he was like hey look I was trying to make him be a good president and helping the any way that I could and when I saw that he was falling short of that I got out and to his credit. You know when I remember it like Chris Christie like was criticizing president Trump.
06:56.85
J. Aundrea
With a.
07:09.58
Bruce Anthony
During his presency breast Presidency Good God I've been drinking folks I've been drinking I've been drinking. Um, he was criticizing them and can't we give people the right if we we talked about it before but the smart intelligence and wisdom right.
07:12.48
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah I've been drinking. Yeah.
07:28.65
Bruce Anthony
Like can't we give people the grace to be like oh man I thought I had it right? but I was wrong. This is this is what I used to believe I've gotten more information I know better now this is what I believe can't we yeah.
07:28.82
J. Aundrea
Um.
07:41.30
J. Aundrea
No because I'm not voting for any of them. So it doesn't it it.
07:47.60
Bruce Anthony
I'm not I'm not talking about actually voting for I'm talking about acknowledging the fact that yo people could change their minds. People could be pro-life one day get hit with some facts or get hit with something personal and then be pro-choice the next day people couldn't be against the Lgbtq community.
08:03.55
J. Aundrea
Um, anyway.
08:06.78
Bruce Anthony
Or against trans kids one day and then the next day they come out that their kid is a part of the lgb or a loved one or somebody close to him as a part of the lgbt q q community and then it changes their whole perspective on things. Most people. Don't take the heart things until it hits close to home. So I'm going to give him the benefit of a doubt he's switching up, you know Mike Pence is out here what you call him.
08:23.60
J. Aundrea
Sure.
08:30.24
J. Aundrea
The a human condom he is the personification of boredom I did not watch the Cnn Town Hall not because I don't want to give Cnn ratings as part of it but also just because you know Mike Pence is a human profile.
08:40.84
Bruce Anthony
Like.
08:50.12
J. Aundrea
Dick like he is just incredibly boring and I wasn't gonna give it to time a day I read up on it and and ah I read about it in the times and that was probably about the the most um bandwidth I'm gonna give Mike Pence
09:08.90
Bruce Anthony
I will say you know Cnn fired their the Ceo they they fired him ah yesterday or the day before and immediately Warner Brothers stock went up 8%
09:13.33
J. Aundrea
Um, the I mean.
09:21.12
Bruce Anthony
Because like he was not good for Cnn Cnn was always kind of center center left like they were sinner that veered left more than right but would have conservative right? wing voices on and that's reason why I always respect the Cnn.
09:21.21
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, yeah.
09:39.32
Bruce Anthony
Where it wasn't just one side all the time. Um, but then you know the new that that the former Ceo that got fired jumped in there started switching enough stuff I wonder if they gonna bring Don back.
09:39.57
J. Aundrea
Um, that's right.
09:50.26
J. Aundrea
Probably not. They want to get rid of Don before this new Ceo they really never like that like let's so let's all be honest, but Don is a toofer and so they were like can we really get rid of a gay black man. Not that.
09:55.86
Bruce Anthony
They've been trying to get rid of his black ass for a long time now.
10:05.95
Bruce Anthony
That I was trying to figure out what you was meaning when you said to for but okay, well.
10:14.60
J. Aundrea
It's gay and black who that's a lot. We have a discrimination case if we get rid of him wrong.
10:21.60
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, yeah, you can't be 1 thing you can't do in this world and what excuse me in this world. Yeah, all over the world but especially in this country. It's 1 thing that you can't do is be a black man and attack a white woman in any way. Verbally.
10:31.97
J. Aundrea
Is.
10:38.26
J. Aundrea
You know now.
10:41.30
Bruce Anthony
Verbally damn show. Not physically, but but verbally or anything like that you can't you can't do it and he got away with it 1 time he got away with it 1 time he got away with it twice actually then he attacked the other non-white man and they said oh he attacks somebody that's a person of color.
10:45.75
J. Aundrea
Um, and we.
10:59.31
J. Aundrea
We got him? yeah because everybody else know he was just he was just reading that was a shade. You know we all know that if.
11:00.52
Bruce Anthony
We can get him now and they got his ass. Yeah well he did I mean he die I can even admit when I saw that clip I was a I don went too far on this one like yeah that I can understand why they fired her. He. He went too far on this one but I mean the G O P Race I think is gonna be entertaining. Wave it who's bubble up all Lord he his bubblebb go.
11:23.66
J. Aundrea
You got Bubba Gump you get Tim Scott you got let's see you got this old Bubba Gump Shrump looking ass. Ah. Viveck Rama Schwami who is like listen bro you wouldn't even be the multimillionaire entrepreneur here in this country if it was now he describes himself as anti woke if it was not for.
11:40.00
Bruce Anthony
That's that's the one that got Don fired.
11:56.31
Bruce Anthony
Right.
11:56.34
J. Aundrea
Woke movements of black people in this country and so it's It's always the people who benefited from black labor and then discount it later on that I'm just like extreme side eye.
12:11.25
Bruce Anthony
What that's the reason why um us as black americans don't like being included in that group where they call people of color because let me tell you there is so many people of color case in point China ah.
12:15.16
J. Aundrea
Yes, yeah, don't don't say Bipac don't say Bipac to me is not. It is black people indigenous folks and then all the way over there sometimes.
12:31.80
Bruce Anthony
What is like technically chinese in this country would be considered people of color. But in China they have boycotted the little mermaid because it's a black little mermaid. So.
12:32.57
J. Aundrea
It can be people of color.
12:36.89
J. Aundrea
Yes. And they didn't even they don't really have a dog in that fight because she was originally white like it wasn't like we replaced a Chinese little mermaid with a black little mermaid y'all and know it wasn't even on that side of the world.
12:49.91
Bruce Anthony
Um, Nope right? right.
13:01.22
J. Aundrea
It wasn't a single asian in the original it was in the caribbean it didn't have and it's not like there's not asian people in the caribbean Dan Trinidad I know they're there. Okay.
13:13.86
Bruce Anthony
Fit what.
13:16.92
J. Aundrea
I't seen I don't seen many ah Asian people who speak in Jamaican Patois they are there but they were not in the film at all and so y'all don't even have a dog in that fight. So why are you even speaking up about why are you? What is this? Even what does this have to do with you at all.
13:19.70
Bruce Anthony
Okay, yeah.
13:30.76
Bruce Anthony
Because in because everything in the world is antib black people be like no, it's not I I mean open your eyes just just open your eyes like even in Ukraine and I'm a supporter of us helping Ukraine fight Russia.
13:34.46
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, yes, it is.
13:47.40
J. Aundrea
And.
13:49.91
Bruce Anthony
But at the same time there is a huge huge nazi influence in Ukraine and some of them are the soldiers fighting against Russia I'm just saying I'm just saying it's true. It's true. So so you know I support.
14:04.14
J. Aundrea
Um, you met wrong.
14:08.83
Bruce Anthony
Support us given a nus helping fight because personally I think Russia is a bigger evil and China is even bigger evil but but that's just my little two cent but going with all of that. Everyone.
14:14.16
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah.
14:20.37
J. Aundrea
But 1 of them. We owe a lot of money to so we can't say that that loud.
14:25.25
Bruce Anthony
Look you know what happens when you owe a lot of money to somebody on the street and you he right? right? right? Look let me tell you some now let me tell you some.
14:28.85
J. Aundrea
You start getting you start acting up toward him. You have a no set with somebody owe you money then they get an attitude with you I like you owe me money Matt fact I owe you $45 so I'm so but
14:50.36
J. Aundrea
Um I forgot all about that 45 out taste set. So ah, a listen. Yeah.
14:53.73
Bruce Anthony
There you really put you really putting the business out there on the street all right and put enough business out on the street with the 2 last tuesday shows with the interview with you and then meet me talking to Allie about the time that me and Adam helped her out in that situation. There was a lot of.
15:04.80

15:17.22
Bruce Anthony
A.
15:19.77
J. Aundrea
And so to hear her side of it and how it's impacted her life that was very interesting to me.
15:23.19

16:05.74
J. Aundrea
Is.
16:21.67
Bruce Anthony

19:07.00
J. Aundrea
But that's his that that ah insecure person like Donald Trump that is his worst fear to be in a room full of influential people laughing at his expense. That's his absolute worst fear. So of course he was gonna take it.
19:15.45
Bruce Anthony

Way too far and that's exactly what he did.
19:22.68

19:37.36
J. Aundrea
I don't know if he's gonna try anything with Tim Tim is literally I think Tim was strategically kind of smart in running on this kind of message of positivity and being this goofy bua gump big gum. Goofball right? because you kind of don't want to attack the black positive guy so we'll see we'll see we'll see what happens and ah and then there's just some people that's in the race.

25:16.30
J. Aundrea
I'll know G O P Race go be out of funny.
25:24.57
Bruce Anthony
Okay, says speaking of G O P Alabama tried to pull some mess and the supreme court struck it down some people out there might know what I'm talking about some people might not.
25:28.20
J. Aundrea
Um, yes.
25:40.33
J. Aundrea
They they hit him with the dekimbe. Um, they hit him with the dekimba maummbo and they told him to get that out of there so ah, associated press reported that the supreme court today Thursday issued a surprising 5
25:41.25
Bruce Anthony
Don't you break it down for the folks out there. Yeah.
25:59.55
J. Aundrea
To 4 ruling inflate in favor of black voters in the congressional redistricting case in Alabama so here's what's going on Alabama congressional map is so heavily gerrymandered that even though they have ah. Quarter black people in their population quarter. The population is black folks right? There is only 1 black congressman out of I believe 7 that 7 districts. Yes, it's not It's not It's one seventh.
26:20.24
Bruce Anthony
In.
26:27.13
Bruce Anthony
7 yep so so one out of 7 8 ain't even close to a quarter right.
26:37.66
J. Aundrea
I.
26:42.96
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, yeah, that's what that's what it is. It's one 7 yeah.
26:43.54
J. Aundrea
ah ah yeah it it's one seventh and if you put one seventh up against one quarter you'll notice. They're not the same fraction. It's not the same number.
26:52.32
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, if you put one seven up against one fourth it's not the same. It's not the same. Yeah, there was extremely different numbers. Yeah.
27:01.33
J. Aundrea
It's not they're actually very different numbers. Yeah, and one of those things is not like the other. So so so black voters brought a case and the lower courts had decided. Yeah this congressional map.
27:20.95
Bruce Anthony
Well so you're leaving out something what the congress in Alabama tried to do because there was a large district of black voters was basically cut that district in half which would be deluding the black vote.
27:21.30
J. Aundrea
Is a complete violation of the Buddha rights act.
27:33.41
J. Aundrea
Um, yes.
27:39.77
Bruce Anthony
In the state of Alabama so that's what sparked this lawsuit.
27:42.26
J. Aundrea
Yes, so they were trying to have most of the voters concentrated in one district and then spread out the rest of them which is which is a game plan that a lot of states use a lot of states you got Alabama here in Georgia.
27:49.47
Bruce Anthony
A e.
28:00.67
J. Aundrea
Is the issue down here. So it's it's a game plan a lot of states use. So went all the way up to the Supreme court and surprisingly I mean out even when I heard the news I was like oh word.
28:12.36
Bruce Anthony
Right? because just a year before the Supreme court. Let it ride? yeah.
28:20.61
J. Aundrea
They let it ride particularly ah chief justice John Roberts let it ride but this time to the 2 conservative justice Brett Kavanaugh and chief justice John Roberts
28:32.75
Bruce Anthony
Let's break that down for the folks chief justice John Roberts who's been pretty much. He's in a tough spot. He is in a tough spot. It was really in a tough spot when it was 5 4 ah conservative to liberal judges now it is six three conservative to to liberal judges.
28:45.18
J. Aundrea
Is.
28:50.50
Bruce Anthony
He was typically the deciding vote when it was 5 4 now. He's got to pull somebody aside and who did he pull aside the beer drinking maybe sexual assault is at well he's from Montgomery County
28:50.62
J. Aundrea
Yes.
29:03.10
J. Aundrea
Definitely probably certainly allegedly.
29:08.80
Bruce Anthony
So he's from my Gurmy County and all I will say is that that train trip that Allie was on with me that gentleman was from my gumy county I'm not saying in Montgomery County where there's a lot of wealth and a lot of privilege that there might be a.
29:14.32
J. Aundrea
Unit.
29:22.70
J. Aundrea
Um, look.
29:28.60
Bruce Anthony
Ah, high propensity of sexual assault by these they they they get hands in Mo County but that but continue continue.
29:31.12
J. Aundrea
They like to get handsy in Mo County yes but these 2 conservative justices joined the liberals in rejecting the republican led effort to weaken ah landmark. Voting rights law so in because of the new ruling new maps in places like Alabama obviously but Louisiana here in Georgia where else was ah Texas will be affected South Carolina will be affected. Now new maps um are likely to be drawn have to be drawn in these areas because of this ruling like this could have far reaching consequences in what the house looks like moving forward.
30:20.42
Bruce Anthony
You said consequences is that the adjective that you want to use okay see implications. Yeah.
30:24.11
J. Aundrea
No yes because yes implications. But yeah, but consequences Yes I mean the consequences typically has a negative kind of connotation but literally a consequence is just a result of an action.
30:38.64
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, there you go. That's the that's the ah linguists right? there breaking it down for you but but the general people out there are going to think consequences as a negative form. That's where I was like that's the adjective you want to use definitely impact.
30:45.12
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, so but.
30:52.69
J. Aundrea
Um, now. Yes, yeah, it'll have it'll have far reaching implications on what the the makeup of the house could be moving forward. We could start to see a more representative house.
30:54.78
Bruce Anthony
But also consequences as my sister just explained. Oh.
31:10.65
J. Aundrea
That's representative of the people which would be some shocking shit and that's my s word of the day. Ah.
31:11.80
Bruce Anthony
Um, right.
31:16.20
Bruce Anthony
So let me let me break this down in the Layman terms for a lot of people out there. So when you redistrict you're drawing them the voting maps and you're like why is that important everybody's vote counts kind order no right like well.
31:20.61
J. Aundrea
In. Right. No have you heard of the electoral college our votes don't count.
31:35.94
Bruce Anthony
That's well, that's national right? But sort of same thing by State says. Okay, so they will draw the voting maps where your candidates will come from your local candidates will come from right and you vote on your local candidates. Well.
31:40.00
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, same thing.
31:51.56
J. Aundrea
Is.
31:54.44
Bruce Anthony
Your your local candidates are supposed to represent the people of that particular district if they redraw the district to make it more beneficial for one political party over the other then you get a congress and a state house that is not representative of the entire state.
31:56.36
J. Aundrea
Statement.
32:14.21
Bruce Anthony
Or the country but representative of what those people wanted to draw those lines for so this is this is government one one and I know a lot of people out there don't really understand what the 3 branches of the government does. They don't understand this. We all learned it but you didn't.
32:14.63
J. Aundrea
Um, exactly.
32:32.22
Bruce Anthony
You didn't pay attention to it and you didn't pay attention to voting and and and didn't understand what the electoral college was I had some people out there that were saying well I don't understand Hillary won the popular vote that doesn't matter. It's the electoral college. Okay, it does not matter. Um, so this is this is how they control the votes.
32:32.88
J. Aundrea
I didn't.
32:42.12
J. Aundrea
Um, it doesn't matter it. Yeah yeah.
32:50.76
Bruce Anthony
And how the people that brought this lawsuit won the lawsuit is because they said oh you're violating black people's rights and voting rights and essentially they were because they were making the voting rights of black people less important by drawing this district. So.
32:58.53
J. Aundrea
In here.
33:07.39
J. Aundrea
Is at.
33:09.94
Bruce Anthony
When you say that we don't live in a racist country and you say that none of these things are still happening to black folks. His is a prime example of a dilution of the black vote so much so that conservative republicans. Well I'm not gonna call them Republicans Conservative judges.
33:20.39
J. Aundrea
Um, yes.
33:29.11
Bruce Anthony
Who are probably republican conservative judges on the supreme court was like nah this is like we can't even ride with this one and voted that down all of them except for you said bubble Gump what's my man from d django on chain what warson.
33:35.29
J. Aundrea
Um, right.
33:45.72
J. Aundrea
You talking about? Oh oh God was it Oh man, what was his name shoot Now you know I got to look it up because that's go That's go. Let's go and drive me nuts.
33:47.72
Bruce Anthony
Who was Samuel Jackson and and django.
33:59.18
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, with that's okay, we're gonna pause but we're not gonna pause I'm just hot. Yeah yeah, Stephen from ah from the django. He's on the supreme court. Okay from whatever he's on the supreme court.
34:04.49
J. Aundrea
Stephen Stephen it was Stephen the dear sand like.
34:17.20
Bruce Anthony
Y'all know who he is Clarence Com Thomas I called him coon.
34:18.91
J. Aundrea
Yeah, uncle Thomas Clarence I call him clarence uncle Thomas um, he wrote the dissent of course and it said quote decisions to Force Alabama
34:26.10
Bruce Anthony
Hidden Of course.
34:35.13
J. Aundrea
To intentionally redrawl its long-standing congressional district so that black voters can control a number of seats roughly proportional to the black share of the state's population. Section 2 of the voting rights act of 1965 demands. No such thing and if it did congress would not permit. It. So what you're saying is rather first of all section 2 of the voting rights act of 1965 prohibits voting practices or procedures.
34:56.70
Bruce Anthony
Break it down for.
35:06.99
J. Aundrea
Such as oh I don't know heavily gerrymandering a congressional district map that results in consistent and disproportionate election of non-black folks prohibits voting practices or procedures that discriminate on the basis of race color or membership in any 1 language minority group.
35:13.67
Bruce Anthony
Fair we go.
35:25.68
J. Aundrea
Identified in section blah blah blah who cares? Okay, the point is yes, the whole point is to force alabama to intentionally redraw these longstanding racist. I'll add that in for you racist conion congressional districts so that black voters can not control a number of seats but have their votes count for who their representative is so that it can be proportional to the share a black share of the state's population. They make up 20 5 % of the population one seventh now if you were to say johnna what's one seventh in percentages holding a gun to my head I need to tell my parents goodbye but but I know that one seventh is not equal to 1.
36:00.84
Bruce Anthony
But they got one seventh
36:12.90
Bruce Anthony
I.
36:20.15
J. Aundrea
Um, that's what I know.
36:22.86
Bruce Anthony
All right? So to figure out the math is 7 divided into a hundred. Okay, it's it's more than ten. It's more than 10
36:29.80
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, so that's.
36:36.23
J. Aundrea
Um, mom and dad I Love you? What's what's a percentage. What's one seven percentage.
36:42.36
Bruce Anthony
It's less than fifteen. It's about thirteen and a half percent
36:49.58
J. Aundrea
I don't know but it I or.
36:53.50
Bruce Anthony
Act act actually is it's more of like fourteen point three percent I just did the math of my hit I was the math person I'm the one who scored a perfect ah math. Ah score on his a t so much so that Virginia tech came calling.
37:00.80
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, you are that.
37:06.25
J. Aundrea
Um, did well hadn't have nice for you. But my verbal made up for my math. Score.
37:12.70
Bruce Anthony
Um I got an a and faceless in college.
37:17.96
J. Aundrea
Oh did you get a physics I had to go to special night school. But.
37:28.37
Bruce Anthony
Ah, but but so hey Supreme court.
37:29.27
J. Aundrea
So I'm I'm I'm interested I mean of course the the certain lawmakers in Alabama say it's not over other lawmakers are like don't waste any more of Alabama's time redraw the maps so we'll see what happens we'll see what implications this has on other states. Especially. These states like you know Texas or Louisiana who have these republican supermajorities in their house and who have sent nothing but republicans and maybe like 1 democrat to ah to the Us house so we'll see what happens I mean but it's.
38:03.81
Bruce Anthony
Yeah I mean it was mad. It was mad crazy. What's my man Doug Jones Doug Jones when he won that senate seat. Ah if he literally had to beat somebody who was accused accused. It was an accusation. Ah I i.
38:08.34
J. Aundrea
Um, ah yeah.
38:14.57
J. Aundrea
You know.
38:19.42
Bruce Anthony
Ah, believe the accusation but it was still an accusation. It was no proof that it was it was real. He had. He had. The only reason why he was because he was running against an accused pedophile close with still real close.
38:21.74
J. Aundrea
Um, right stripe.
38:26.84
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, and it was still close so America down.
38:45.63
Bruce Anthony
I Says this last topic I thought was funny so I sent this to you and I would give people the backstory but before I give people the backstory I must also explain that me and my sister are not parents.
38:50.19
J. Aundrea
In this.
39:01.93
J. Aundrea
We are not. We do not have children. Um don't don't don't really like other people's kids.

39:34.64
J. Aundrea
No, we are not parents we have. We are not any sort of Authority you shouldn't listen to the rest of us. We don't.
39:40.45
Bruce Anthony
Actually actually you should listen to it because's gonna be interesting I don't know why my sisters trying to make you turn off the episode Jay shutta he no just chase shut the hell up don't listen to her anyway, we are about to give parenting advice as non parents.
39:45.13
J. Aundrea
And just turn it off turn it off. This is gonna be hilarious.
39:59.71
Bruce Anthony
All right? So the story goes and I found this story on I wish I knew how to pronounce this Q R Yeah, it's a it's a website. It's like Q U O R a.
40:05.14
J. Aundrea
I Don't know how to pronounce it either where you can go yeah where you can go and ask questions. Yeah.
40:16.11
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, so this person asked the question and here's the question basically am I wrong or did I do the right thing and here's a scenario. Ah she wakes up in the middle of the night and finds her child who is supposed to be sleep because there's a school night playing this Xbox so she decides.
40:31.76
J. Aundrea
Um.
40:34.92
Bruce Anthony
To break the Xbox and she's asking was she right or was she wrong. There is a.
40:40.72
J. Aundrea
Not even that not even that she didn't even really ask she asked for advice on how to convince her child who is now not talking to her for breaking his Xbox that he's in the wrong.
40:50.34
Bruce Anthony
Um, yes.
40:56.63
Bruce Anthony
Okay, we can attack that but I want to attack breaking the Xebox now I date a woman who had kids I did a several woman that had kids but this woman in particular used to tell the kids hey go clean up your tours I'm going to clean up.
41:02.36
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah.
41:16.90
Bruce Anthony
And follow behind you I'm go tell you 1 time. Go clean up your toys from this room if the toys if I go down there after a certain period of time on the next day and your toys are still on the floor hanging around guess what they're going in the trash now I went't throw toys in trash cause you gotta buy new toys but she had money.
41:28.95
J. Aundrea
Um, no right.
41:33.85
Bruce Anthony
So when no big thing and she I was like do you really throw the toys in the trash because I was there 1 time when she told him I was like is that like an empty threat or d and and the oldest is like nope she throws away the to hits she was he was like they were like nope she throws away the toys.
41:45.60
J. Aundrea
Um, this is.
41:49.36
Bruce Anthony
So I was like okay, yeah, no I mean like if you if you tell them you know, hey look this is what's gonna be cool ah breaking the Xbox though think's going a little bit too far I I think you could take the Xbox away but the Xbox costs too much damn money to just be breaking them.
41:58.83
J. Aundrea
Stupid. Yeah, that's stupid.
42:07.40
Bruce Anthony
That's a $500 piece of machinery that you pay for.
42:08.72
J. Aundrea
That you paid for so you just threw $500 in the garbage.
42:16.42
Bruce Anthony
Or you know would have been even worse. She didn't really give us context on this but I'm just spitballing here because you know I'm not a parent but what if that kid bought the Xbox on their own.
42:22.53
J. Aundrea
A.
42:30.90
J. Aundrea
That would be worse now then I could see that child not speaking to their parent I could see them not speaking to the parent in any situation it right? right? Um, but definitely if the child is.
42:37.33
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, you broke my Xbox.
42:46.29
J. Aundrea
Mo and law. We don't know how old the child was we don't know any of that information.
42:50.90
Bruce Anthony
But but let's just throw out different scenarios right? Like if the kid is up playing the xbox in their room I'm going to assume that they're of the age where they can have the Xbox and tv in their room nowadays this is getting younger and younger. But I'm going to assume that they're at least in double digits.
43:08.40
J. Aundrea
I don't know but that you had a bedtime that you I don't know when we learned to be quieter at night I mean.
43:08.72
Bruce Anthony
Right? They're at least 10 and up.
43:14.19
Bruce Anthony
Well when did we stop getting bedtimes. Ah.
43:23.94
Bruce Anthony
I I'm trying to think of when I because our father was notorious I think he tried to tell us I think when in 1 time. For on Christmas Eve or something like that as a adults dad tried to say go to bed and we was we just sat there laughed at him like bro you kidding us right now. We're not going to bed like we are grown adults I'll leave your house I'll leave your house. That's what I do right again to go good luck.
43:46.00
J. Aundrea
Um, not going to bed. It was a adult I will I will grab my keys and get in the car.
43:56.66
Bruce Anthony
Spend a Christmas on your own talk about some go to bay I remember us I mean we laugh like so our father's a little bit different. He tried to pull that that stuff with us later in age matter. Of fact, he had me on strict curfew when we moved up to d c. And I remember my boy was like why you got such a tough curfew hey I and made some mistakes in my life and my dad trying to keep me on the straight and narrow. But but once I proved to to dad that was like I could be responsible I was like hey dad kind of change my curfew and he's like okay what time do you think it should be don't think I should have a curfew I'm pretty responsible.
44:17.43
J. Aundrea
In.
44:31.63
Bruce Anthony
And then I proceeded to come home stupid drunk that had to be carried to the room and and our brother's sleeping behind the bed so age matters here when we're talking about this Xbox but I think the parent is wrong in any regard because.
44:35.21
J. Aundrea
Um, right? Yes, yeah.
44:46.44
J. Aundrea
Um, yes.
44:49.50
Bruce Anthony
Yeah Xbox is money. There is a hope you could take it to if you want to take it away from them. But you're scared of hiding it in the house. Take it to your job if you ain't got no job. Take it to one of your friends' house and leave it there and stop them you own punishment for the whole month. You can't have no xbox I'm taking that out the house.
44:54.83
J. Aundrea
Um, take it to your job. Yeah.
45:05.77
Bruce Anthony
You know, gotta break it So I understand when that kid was just like look you don't understand what's going on in my life. Maybe that's the only joy that I have maybe that's my escape from from a miserable existence and you just took that away from me. Maybe I have anxiety and I can't sleep.
45:14.44
J. Aundrea
Um.
45:16.81
J. Aundrea
Right.
45:23.21
Bruce Anthony
And this video game is calming me down. You didn't think to ask any of these questions you just decided to get upset with me that I was up when I should be asleep and smash my Xbox now I say all these things as somebody who's not a parent because I understand.
45:26.31
J. Aundrea
Right.
45:35.46
J. Aundrea
In it.
45:41.27
Bruce Anthony
That parents have a difficult job you got work. You got bills and then you got kids that you gotta take care of and in that important job oftentimes you are too tired I've seen it with my friends parents I've seen it in my parents you're too tired to give that child the respect of.
45:59.15
J. Aundrea
Um, right? but ah go ahead. Sorry.
45:59.81
Bruce Anthony
What's going on with you as and they just and you just discipline them without really breaking it down and asking what's going on them. It's my rules. Okay, that's great, but kids have their own things that they're going through.
46:16.71
J. Aundrea
Um, you know.
46:19.38
Bruce Anthony
There are people they're growing people that have emotions and hormones that they don't even know what's going on and it would be cool if parents took the time and I'm not generalizing I am generalizing there are but there are cases out there where parents don't do that but'd be cool if parents took the time to just.
46:25.45
J. Aundrea
The right.
46:39.21
Bruce Anthony
Treat their kids as people and not just people that are supposed to do what they say.
46:43.10
J. Aundrea
Not just as people because and you see this a lot with the rise of gentle parenting which is which is about checking in which a kid when they're when they're having difficulty and being like Okay, what are you feeling right? now what is going on what are you. As opposed to jumping straight to corporal punishment or to violence right? because what did that child learn in that instance, nothing learn how to hit learn how to break things when you're upset that something is not going the way that you wanted to go So is.
47:08.25
Bruce Anthony
Learn how to hit right.
47:14.64
Bruce Anthony
In here.
47:19.92
J. Aundrea
It's more than treating them like people. It's also understanding that they just got here imagine moving to a new city and somebody getting upset with you for not knowing your way around without Gps I just got here I just got here I don't know.
47:25.48
Bruce Anthony
Yep.
47:30.55
Bruce Anthony
Wow, That's real. That's a real ass analogy you right.
47:39.52
J. Aundrea
How to be a person yet think about it. This kid was 9 10 years old. Okay, so maybe the last five six years they were cognizant of their personhood that they were even a human being on earth. Okay, that's not a long time.
47:47.51
Bruce Anthony
Right? Yes, think back to your right think back to your earliest memory I can kind of think back to kindergarten a little bit like sort of.
47:57.84
J. Aundrea
A little bit I kind of remember bits and pieces of my I just remember my kindergarten teacher she got bit by a snake and broke her arm and that's the Iris or but I just remember that I remember that she was. We had a bunch of substitutes.
48:09.90
Bruce Anthony
Um, that's ok I think of childhood memories kind of like kind of like like being blackout drunk.
48:16.11
J. Aundrea
And that that's only thing I remember about being 5 like that's it like.
48:24.57
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah.
48:26.68
Bruce Anthony
And this is what I mean by that it gets to a point where you're blackout drunk where you don't remember anything and then you just snap out of that blackness and and you start remember your your memories come back, but you don't remember anything before that. That's what it's kind of like for the first four or five years you like like you just wake up one day and like I'm aware.
48:35.90
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, right? Yeah yes, Holy yes.
48:45.50
Bruce Anthony
Like oh this is what's going on but it so are removed from from being brought into this world and I get it parents. You have a tough job. You are living as an adult which is tough in and of itself and I don't hate it. But it sucks.
49:00.29
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah I hate it. Um, adulting sucks.
49:05.55
Bruce Anthony
Ah, adulting son, you're living like in a you're living as an adult which is not cool and then you're you're you let me remind you, you made this choice to bring 1 or multiple other lives. Into this world now you were tasked with raising them and I get it. You might not have the patience to sit down and explain to their little talking inquisitive asses what what is and what isn't why do we eat this. Why can't I eat this why this and that but guess what.
49:21.91
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah.
49:33.95
J. Aundrea
Um, yes.
49:40.53
Bruce Anthony
Just as my sister said try to navigate your way through a new city with no gps.
49:42.93
J. Aundrea
Without Gps and then and then when you can't do it having someone be upset with you for that and so we're holding kids to the standard that we don't even hold ourselves to where we're holding of these kids to this emotional.
49:50.65
Bruce Anthony
Right.
49:56.32
Bruce Anthony
F.
50:02.66
J. Aundrea
And intellectual standard This maturity standard that there they can't have temper tantrums. They can't have bad days. They can't have mood swings. They can't be upset or you better fix your face right? I have an attitude 72% of the time. Yeah.
50:22.60
Bruce Anthony
Um, oh oh you know that percentage but you ain't no one seventh
50:28.18
J. Aundrea
Okay, what's a gun to my head Mom Dad I Love you think for briga me this world I don't know I don't know three fips I made that.
50:30.28
Bruce Anthony
What's them. What's 72% infractions j
50:38.99
Bruce Anthony
Um, so that's 60% watch
50:47.56
J. Aundrea
What hell I did my best that you know what shut up have just shut up shut up. Okay, great I was in remedial math.
50:52.98
Bruce Anthony
It's more like five sevens
51:04.97
Bruce Anthony
I don't know that that's right? I don't know that that's right but I I imagine that that's it's I know it's definitely closer to three fifths I know that.
51:07.58
J. Aundrea
And you weren't oh ah.
51:13.19
J. Aundrea
Of a pull up a calculator figure it out it jackass. But I mean we walk around losing our patients getting upset having mood swings all of these things we we get.
51:31.30
Bruce Anthony
Hold on timeout I just put out a calculator five seven is so a point 7 one 4 which is basically 71% so right it's not good to the shippoint.
51:31.76
J. Aundrea
Frustrated. We want to have.
51:45.39
J. Aundrea
Let's end a show ladieser gentlemen. This is also gonna be the last time you gonna see me on the show. The hell I am.
51:50.78
Bruce Anthony
Nor is now you are contractually obligated now look if you let you stop I'm gonna send all those people that playing when they don't get they sibly happy hour I'm put them in your inbox I'm get your address and let me let me tell you they will drive from wherever they are some of them are in Norway they they'll drive.
52:01.72
J. Aundrea
The death.
52:09.89
Bruce Anthony
In the ocean they on driving ocean to go get you but just finish your point. Yeah.
52:11.78
J. Aundrea
Um, think of' your Japanese Oh shit they're not gonna make it who my point is we hold kids to a standard. We don't even hold ourselves to and I yeah you're right I mean I'm not a parent sometimes.
52:27.28
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, right would see I would say being a pet parent is tougher than being a parent once you get kids a certain age because a pet parent is like having a toddler for the rest of your life.
52:27.47
J. Aundrea
I'm a pet parent and the sort I lose patients were and she can't even talk. She can't do nothing for herself.
52:39.50
J. Aundrea
Yes I have to feed her I have to take her out I have to take her to the bathroom eventually a kid can put it on juice. It's poorly. It's going being all over the counter but they could do it.
52:47.22
Bruce Anthony
It poorly is poorly and it'll be no Ace but but they could do it. They could do it.
52:58.90
J. Aundrea
Okay, but I mean yeah I don't know what to say about that. It's hard to find that level of patience but you just have to remember they just got to earth like they just got here. You should remember that because you gave birth to them or you were present at their birth. Hopefully.
53:07.56
Bruce Anthony
A.
53:16.69
Bruce Anthony
So and and for those people there are like but my kids a teenager. Okay using my sister's same analogy. You've been in the city for a year and a half maybe even 2 years but now somebody has invited you to their house. You don't have a Gps.
53:17.73
J. Aundrea
You hopefully should remember when they were born. Let's.
53:34.90
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah.
53:35.94
Bruce Anthony
And the house goes back roads things get more confusing the more you go along.
53:41.24
J. Aundrea
And then just imagine trying to do that trying to navigate to this back roads house and all you could think about is boobs. And you tell me but you tell me how easy it is to do that teenager is even worse because their hormones are out of control and all they could think about is the opposite sex and they just.
53:59.75
Bruce Anthony
Um, that feels like a personal shot. Yeah yeah.
54:11.83
Bruce Anthony
And.
54:16.32
J. Aundrea
They don't know what to do with themselves just so angry and so miserable and happy and weird and they don't ah and they are full of energy but also sleep constantly and they eat up everything but they're always hungry. It's like it's they there are black.
54:20.74
Bruce Anthony
I.
54:34.20
Bruce Anthony
Are.
54:35.70
J. Aundrea
Oh for just all your energy I get that I've been around teenagers I was one myself I hated it? Okay so I get I hate it being a teenager because it was like you were on the precipice of being an adult but you had no rights or access to anything like.
54:39.39
Bruce Anthony
I Love I don't know if I loved or hated it that was just.
54:54.17
J. Aundrea
I couldn't even rent a car I couldn't do nothing just to get the hell on somewhere like just just anything just anything.
54:54.46
Bruce Anthony
Wow. And but why do you want to rent a car like I guess I Guess what we're trying to say is parents. Try to remember what it was like for you growing up and I know that's difficult because the further we get along like I have less and less memories of my teenage years like that's just happens when you get older. Ah yep.
55:12.48
J. Aundrea
Um, right, please know? yeah.
55:23.82
J. Aundrea
You'll never remember those specific memories but you'll remember how it felt you will remember how being chastised and you're not quite 100 % sure about what you did wrong. And you really learned nothing. You just know you got yelled at and so it just made you more secretive like you just do little things like that just remember how those things made you feel and if it means that you got to take a second because the consens. Was under her question that she was dead asked wrong and I agree um not just from a financial standpoint but that child learned nothing they learned they had no, they learned nothing. No reason for why they need to go to bed.
55:53.80
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, she was dead wrong.
56:05.56
Bruce Anthony
A.
56:07.36
J. Aundrea
Why it's important for them to get a full night's sleep and you learn nothing about why that child was still up because it's like it's like you said they could have had anxiety could be worried about something going on at school the next day you don't know why that child was up. You didn't even try to find out.
56:24.27
Bruce Anthony
I Only learned in my adult life and I don't know that I would' have been able to explain it in my teenage years. Maybe if I had a ah no knock to my parents. But maybe if I had parents that were more mentally health aware.
56:38.13
J. Aundrea
Yeah, more tapped more tapped into our emotional health because we we have we have Boomer parents and and it's It's very much of I put a roof over your head clothes on your back food in your belly I've done I've done a great job. Yeah.
56:40.41
Bruce Anthony
That they knew the right? yeah.
56:53.22
Bruce Anthony
I've done my job. Ah, but like 1 thing that I know now in my older age is I absolutely used video games to deal with my anxiety. Um, so that's the reason why that that was a personal thing. What I said.
56:59.56
J. Aundrea
And.
57:07.20
J. Aundrea
There.
57:09.80
Bruce Anthony
You know you don't know what he's going through and why he's up playing video games late at night and you they need to absolutely didn't learn anything you know would have been a great lesson or you want to stab or play video games. Okay guess what you better. Not miss that bus in the morning and if you do it's gonna be hell to pay. But go ahead play all the video games you want and then watch them have a struggle day at school and then don't let them take a nat when they get home now I got some chores I need you to do? Yeah, that'll teach them real quick. Oh that's the reason why sleep is important cause if they question you and they're like I don't need sleep.
57:33.39
J. Aundrea
Um, now.
57:43.49
Bruce Anthony
That's ah, that's a lesson that you could teach them and like oh okay I'm gonna show you how much you need sleep and why you need to get a good night's rest. But yeah, parents you know parents just don't understand. That's what will Smith said.
57:45.47
J. Aundrea
Um.
57:53.74
J. Aundrea
I just find it interesting like how quickly they like I see some parents just like forget what it was like to be a child where where your entire life is controlled. You don't really get to make any of your own decisions. Unless you have some of those parents that are like what would you like to wear today or what would you like to have for your lunch today I mean that I really admire these I don't know that I could be a gentle parent. Ah but I admire those people who really do sit down get down on their kids level. And really say what? Ah, let's breathe through this or like to try to teach this um to write try to raise the eq of their children and really teach emotional intelligence I I bless you for having the patience I don't know I don't know cause I have.
58:38.22
Bruce Anthony
A.
58:49.27
J. Aundrea
Be losing it sometimes but it's the parents that think that they're teaching a lesson but really only thing you're doing is reinforcing just bad habits of violence in your children.
59:00.67
Bruce Anthony
A a.
59:04.38
J. Aundrea
Ah, you really need to think about it I this type of parent and if so is this really the lesson that I want to teach and got no damn kids and and sometimes a team FTkF them kids. Yeah.
59:08.35
Bruce Anthony
And that's advice from 2 people who are parents. But yeah, we we love the kids we love the kids. But on that note j what you want to what you want to tell the people out there.
59:24.15
J. Aundrea
But but but mostly as we like kids they're they're okay, there's sometimes sometimes kids.
59:35.49
J. Aundrea
Man I don't have much for today. Um, except you know, no more no more people in the Gop Race we're good we're good with the number that we've got um, it's already gonna be as hilarious. Nobody else needs to announce. We're good.
59:40.90
Bruce Anthony
I.
59:47.70
Bruce Anthony
Unless it's somebody funny.
59:52.64
J. Aundrea
Life You know what I take it back if it's gonna be funny. Go ahead, go ahead. Run.
59:54.65
Bruce Anthony
Go ahead. But on that note for me. Thank you again for watching and listening our holla.
