13:43.38
Bruce Anthony
All right, go ahead.
13:48.48
J. Aundrea
But yeah, it parted from actually an opinion piece that was in the New York Times and I kind of spilled over and I was reading and ended up on the new yorker and is basically the death of the humanities in in colleges even liberal arts colleges I mean.
14:00.42
Bruce Anthony
Are.
14:07.68
J. Aundrea
They're um, they're finding that enrollment and not even tied to anything like not even tied to the economy or anything like that enrollment is just down for the humanities everywhere and of course. When you think of the humanities I think a lot of people immediately think of the english major and think of a bunch of people reading books and sweaters with patches on the elbows and you're not wrong. Yeah, you're not wrong. You think ah, a liberal arts college you think of like Sarah Lawrence or
14:32.81
Bruce Anthony
Um, yeah I think dead Poet society.
14:43.16
J. Aundrea
Some Bassar so polite to have yes.
14:44.50
Bruce Anthony
Ah, is Sarah Lawrence is that a real college. Okay because Sarah Lawrence was a character on arrow. She was a black canary. But anyway.
14:50.84
J. Aundrea
Yeah, that's not who the cop just faced at at all. Not who not who the college is based on dog but um, but you you have a lot of kids that they were interviewing I call them kids. But.
14:55.48
Bruce Anthony
Okay, you know as only Sarah Lawrence I know but but go ahead, go go ahead
15:10.60
J. Aundrea
You know college you kids y'all are kids in my in my mind. Um, if I'm old enough to be your mama you a kid. So so they you know they were saying you know I like I I like to write I like to read but you know stem.
15:10.70
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, yeah.
15:27.90
Bruce Anthony
Near.
15:29.81
J. Aundrea
Business economic These are the majors that we're going for these are the ones we think will make us the make us the money right? Um, which is actually is is not true like the data doesn't show that English Majors make less money.
15:37.52
Bruce Anthony
I Mean they ain't wrong.
15:48.83
J. Aundrea
We have more in loans and it takes us longer to pay them off with you. That's right I did so we got less loans longer to pay them off. That's right? Yes, Um, but what people are forgetting.
15:49.15
Bruce Anthony
No, it said you had less loans but it takes you longer to pay him off see you ain't even reading.
15:59.80
Bruce Anthony
Right.
16:08.39
J. Aundrea
Ah so important about the humanities and why even with this story and a lot of colleges mulling over the idea of cutting the humanities. Um, because of my moment. Yeah, it just boggles my mind. You know when you.
16:16.80
Bruce Anthony
Which is incredible.
16:26.94
J. Aundrea
When you study something like business or accounting because you know I love to get on accountants I don't know why I don't know what I don't know what about this podcast happened in I don't know what I don't know what has got me in accountant's asses. But it's I truly.
16:33.70
Bruce Anthony
Now Don't put it on this podcast. This is you This is you situation.
16:44.46
Bruce Anthony
Our dad is basically an accountant right? Our brother is basically an accountant now what you did what they doing account for some money accountant. That's what it is.
16:44.65
J. Aundrea
Have no problem with accountants I don't know why I do this? Yeah, Ah yeah, he's a finance Man. He's a that. Never when I was a kid. Ah yeah, yes, yes, he did Yes, That's true. Yeah. They did looking at numbers at the Mo maybe's contracted maybe Divided. We don't know. Yeah, you're doing a lot of work on excel sheets. Maybe a calculator is involved. Maybe you're beyond that but you study things like business and accounting.
17:04.28
Bruce Anthony
Look at that number now they ain't doing that that they just punch the numbers in the spreadsheet.
17:14.92
Bruce Anthony
But.
17:22.86
J. Aundrea
You know for example and you're not necessarily reinventing the wheel right? You're just learning how the wheel works and and all of its different iterations. But when you have something like like you like an Historian right. You're not just learning how the wheel works. But when did it start and why right somebody like our younger brother who's a political scientist is looking at what the wheel is working for and for whom you have English majors that are also looking at the why like. What you learn in the humanities is how to think creatively That's one of the one of the things critically and creatively. It's it's critical thought and creative thought.
18:06.52
Bruce Anthony
Or critically.
18:15.58
J. Aundrea
And one of the things that has really helped me in my career and one of the things I've really been known for is innovative process creation like but thinking about Okay, how can we make this better in the most efficient way or in a way that we haven't thought about before and I got that these unique.
18:29.61
Bruce Anthony
A.
18:35.71
J. Aundrea
Approaches the problem solvers I got that because the fact that the fact that at my graduation from College Dan said I thought she was just doing book reports because no.
18:52.14
Bruce Anthony
Um, book report for the catholics Dead Sir Excuse me.
18:55.27
J. Aundrea
No, because the Dean got up and explained what the english major was that is a research and analysis concentration.
19:03.22
Bruce Anthony
Excuse me.
19:09.94
Bruce Anthony
A.
19:12.77
J. Aundrea
Right? And that's what it. That's what we're doing is research and analysis at dashset. That's what you've been doing. Don't you do a book course why But what would that it not only teaches research skills analytical skills.
19:20.95
Bruce Anthony
Um.
19:24.47
Bruce Anthony
Ah, wow.
19:31.14
J. Aundrea
Critical thought creative thought but comprehension a lot of people can read a lot of people can't comprehend what they read, you know? So I think I think the humanities have done a bad job of marketing itself. You know stem.
19:36.71
Bruce Anthony
A.
19:49.94
J. Aundrea
Guess out there and markets to so hey learn Yeah tech.
19:50.10
Bruce Anthony
Also well stem is connected to technology and like think about it what we majored in are two the courses most of the time in high school kids hate right? like.
20:04.80
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
20:08.16
Bruce Anthony
And nobody liked English and history classes. What one I personally didn't like any classes. It's okay, personally didn't like any classes but when we got into English and I talked about it on my talking straight ish.
20:10.10
J. Aundrea
I Loved it.
20:15.92
J. Aundrea
But same earth.
20:25.52
Bruce Anthony
With Bruce Anthony that you can find on our Patreon page ah Plug Plug Plug Plug plug and I talked about ah when we got to the Shakespeare english class I was through I was like yeah you can go is if we if we reading and doing book reports. Alright I mean this is born but at least I can like fake my way through this.
20:28.17
J. Aundrea
Plug Play Play plug plug play
20:45.44
Bruce Anthony
But with Shakespeare like I could barely speak regular english you don't throw shakespearean english in there with me like I I but.
20:50.41
J. Aundrea
But what you. But once you understand it. It's really funny like there's a reason why Shakespeare is performed throughout the world is translated in all these languages and it's been enduring one because he was black but 2
21:07.33
Bruce Anthony
Wait a minute was who where you get that that opinion from well they that's what they say by Abraham Lincoln he was the first black president.
21:11.73
J. Aundrea
Um, that's my personal opinion. Small personal opinion is that this kind of bit of rumors always's been out there.
21:22.22
J. Aundrea
And listen I seen pitches old a he looked like the Kimba matumbo to me just put it out there up there.
21:25.63
Bruce Anthony
Hey no, he did look like no damn kid va toughle. So so they're so there's basically saying that you know kids just not choosing those as their majors anymore.
21:44.18
J. Aundrea
Now they're they're choosing Ah, but I think it's not a reflection of the major itself I think it's a reflection of the lack of marketing like you gotta get out there and let them know what exactly you're gonna be doing.
21:53.74
Bruce Anthony
I have.
22:01.00
J. Aundrea
If you major in English If you major in history If you major in philosophy where can go where you can do research and analytics there is in in research and analytics.
22:02.14
Bruce Anthony
Okay, what let's talk about that now. What can you do with those majors where's the money in that. Where's it.
22:18.97
J. Aundrea
You got business Analyst Data analysts Data Science all types of stuff.
22:20.50
Bruce Anthony
But you do that and if you go to business if you go through the business round and you go through a business major you you get to that point.
22:27.12
J. Aundrea
Right? But what are you losing that you're getting the critical thinking and decision making skills but are you gaining but are you gaining creative thought to be innovative this.
22:32.11
Bruce Anthony
When are they not getting the critical thinking.
22:38.58
Bruce Anthony
Well, you know, not everybody has creative thought right? There's a reason why people are artists and statisticians right? like.
22:43.93
J. Aundrea
But I mean yeah I mean what's major is for the people who would be interested in the English major yeah.
22:51.28
Bruce Anthony
Well it also that had the the mental makeup of somebody that could process that type of stuff like just because I want to paint don't mean I can be a painter.
22:58.85
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, yeah, right I let me tell you I can't I did a painting sip once now just disregard The fact that alcohol was involved but it didn't turn out great. It was.
23:09.59
Bruce Anthony
It was no look I did a pain by numbers look I did a pain by numbers and the shit still didn't turn out great. Yeah well now. Okay, the pain by numbers did it was gonna turn out great.
23:15.77
J. Aundrea
Bad but it wasn't great I'm not up to be the that mosquiat really not even that number.
23:28.86
Bruce Anthony
But I didn't realize how many numbers it was going to be and how many different numbers it was going to be right when I got it man it was like 23 different numbers. No, but no, but the 23 different numbers weren't in it was like 23 different numbers corresponded with a specific color.
23:34.20
J. Aundrea
Was it. That's not a lot I thought you were going to say like 200
23:48.53
Bruce Anthony
But they weren't like 23 numbers in 1 spot. So I could just focus in on that one spot it was like oh I need to. It's 23 right here and and 15 I got to dip it into glass I was like oh this is real time consuming I don't I want to do this no more.
23:51.73
J. Aundrea
Yes.
23:59.65
J. Aundrea
Yeah, everything is not quick. Yeah.
24:02.98
Bruce Anthony
I didn't I didn't need it to be I wasn't paying the wall I didn't need it to be quick right? but I needed to not be so cumbersome. But anyway um I think really I think Okay, if you're gonna if these colleges want to market the humanities they need to market how much money and in what jobs that you can actually.
24:09.22
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah.
24:19.35
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
24:22.44
Bruce Anthony
Be successful like people entering in for one to me major in economics like what the hell you gonna do with that and I got a friend who majored in economics he but like yo you throw throwing me under the busess like like right.
24:29.70
J. Aundrea
Running. I mean I conduct such a broad thing then I think people think english major okay so you just study in Shakespeare all the time. No my concentration was actually a race class gender and sexuality studies. So every yes so of course.
24:48.85
Bruce Anthony
Um, that sounds about right.
24:54.53
J. Aundrea
Thing that I read in the courses that I took were geared in some way towards that. So no yeah I believe to think I took a Shakespeare class I think I completely avoided it. Ah.
25:03.47
Bruce Anthony
Well no that and you don't do Shakespeare in college that's high school. Oh.
25:08.98
J. Aundrea
No, there was a there was a full course on Shakespeare and it is much more in depth than what you're doing in high school because again, we're not doing. We're not doing book reports. Yeah oh you, you take maybe 3 or 4 of his plays.
25:14.60
Bruce Anthony
You know what class I wouldn't have been taken. Okay, right dad we're not doing book reports.
25:28.80
J. Aundrea
And then you talk about something that occurred in society and you're pulling from the plays to substantiate your argument right? So I'm talking about um I don't know just making some shit stuff up. Um, you know.
25:41.51
Bruce Anthony
I Already said that's where so it don't matter I said it earlier see that that lets me know the junior pay just to what the hell I'm saying.
25:46.67
J. Aundrea
Yeah, you wouldn't you say it I mean no it lets you know that I cuss so much that I do not realize when cursing is happening around me. Um, but if I'm talking about you know. Ah, seventeenth Century english arist aristocracy and then I use 3 of his plays to talk about the aristocracy of that time but that's what I'm doing I'm I'm taking the works and appliant you're not doing that in high school. You're writing a book report. But the professor doesn't want you to recite the book that they spent their whole life studying back to them. They already know what the book is about they want to know what do you think about it and how does it apply to some larger ideal and society or culture or I've always wanted to say this word. In conversation and now I get to the zeitgeist. So. It's like this. No I think zucchini.
26:47.33
Bruce Anthony
Up and the in that a food ah menu or some now is ze ghost is that in America food. Ah.
26:57.62
J. Aundrea
It's not a like ghost but which sounds like a german ghost. Yeah, yeah, we don't talk about because he was into some things in the early nineteenth century. Yeah.
27:00.27
Bruce Anthony
Um, yeah, yeah, it was casper's cousin on his ah on the other side.
27:11.51
Bruce Anthony
Who um, okay I mean I mean I would do a comment about history and being a history major but that was over twenty years ago and I honestly don't remember a whole lot. But um.
27:13.64
J. Aundrea
Yeah, so. And Ma. .
27:26.29
Bruce Anthony
I Know there were some classes that I really liked and some classes that didn't and if I was going to change my focus because for some strange I know what it was. It was my ego. My focus in history was Eastern European History Why because that was the most challenging actually Russian history would have been the most challenging.
27:34.86
J. Aundrea
And. Again.
27:45.76
Bruce Anthony
Just playing straight up but Eastern European history is in that's included right? So ah if I could do it all over again. My favorite course was American history from reconstruction through the civil rights movement.
27:48.17
J. Aundrea
Yes.
28:03.48
J. Aundrea
Sarah.
28:04.70
Bruce Anthony
And I was like you know this is dope I even liked the class before that um where it did the colonies to reconstruction. Ah, but that was like that was like okay this is my this is my niche. You know this is this is what I really.
28:13.36
J. Aundrea
And you.
28:21.41
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah, it is funny because I liked stuff around that time. Ah a lot of I took a great class about women's writing in the Antebellum South and ended up.
28:22.21
Bruce Anthony
Really failing.
28:36.80
J. Aundrea
Find it. It ended up reading a memoir of a white woman who owned slaves ah danteac who is actually we have a cousin Eleanor danteac rest piece. Ah, who is also from Georgia. And likely was owned by that family and so I ended up doing an interview with eleanor and playing it for my professor who you know loved me of course because it's like oh my god we we? Ah. We we actually have like a real tangible tie in to this book that you're reading? Yeah um, but I don't know it's just like I said I think you can't have everybody as everybody can't be a scientist. Everybody can't be a business owner. Everybody can't be a a god damn accountant you need some people.
29:11.99
Bruce Anthony
Right.
29:30.86
J. Aundrea
Some creative people somewhere and you need to nurture that in people and to lose out on the humanities just because of poor marketing I think is just terrible and I'm so I'm sorry but I've made a great career from my degree and I've never had. Any employer say English Oh no, we can do with that? No I've never had that happen to me So ah, go school like go school I don't know.
30:03.75
J. Aundrea
Do better colleges. Do better. Do better reaching out to these kids and letting them know what these majors are really about and what they can really do to contribute.
30:13.20
Bruce Anthony
The the greatest thing that ever happened to me to my major and it was actually a ah ah major insult and I realized I could see the person for who they were and I was applying for a job and they gave them my resume and they were like.
30:25.70
J. Aundrea
In school.
30:30.82
Bruce Anthony
Oh Bruce I didn't know you had a history degree I didn't know you were smart wait. What.
30:34.96
J. Aundrea
Yeah, absolutely just no, you didn't know you did not what does that Even mean.
30:43.23
Bruce Anthony
Exactly.
30:55.98
Bruce Anthony
Ah says so you said the other article that you sent me that you wanted to talk about is that kidnapping in Mexico I have a slightly different take on all of that. But you sent me the the article had a different spin on it.
30:56.91
J. Aundrea
Um, and.
31:00.61
J. Aundrea
In uhu.
31:11.17
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
31:13.61
Bruce Anthony
And I was like oh this is an interesting take and I never thought about it in this way I Still there's still so my side of it that I'll get to later but go ahead and break down for the folks. What was basically the the standpoint that you were coming from as represented in this article.
31:21.32
J. Aundrea
You.
31:32.47
J. Aundrea
Yeah, so um, as I'm sure most of America knows right now. Um for americans were traveling into Mexico one was going there for a tummy tuck. Um, and shortly. After they were when they were driving through a border town maamuros Mexico and in a minivan when a gunman began open fire on them. 1 person was killed. Um, um, a bystander a mexican bystander was also killed. Another person was shot in the leg.
32:07.86
Bruce Anthony
Ah, out of the 4 people that were taken 2 were killed one was shot in the leg a bystander. It was a bystander was here. No by. Ah yeah, bystander was a bystander. Yes, a bystander was hit and then one person was untouched.
32:13.82
J. Aundrea
So we were ill. Yes, oh.
32:23.70
Bruce Anthony
But 2 of those 2 of those 4 people that traveled together were killed and 1 got one got a flesh wound.
32:29.23
J. Aundrea
Yeah I believe it was 3 men and a woman and the woman was going down there. Ah for a Tommy talk. The leading theory is that they were mistaken for haitian smugglers. Um.
32:39.94
Bruce Anthony
Well never.
32:44.98
J. Aundrea
But what this article in the in The New York Times kidnapping in Mexico draws attention to medical tourism industry and it was really interesting because um I know a lot of people who you know this is Atlanta Atlanta is. Sort of like a black l a in terms of the amount of plastic surgery. You have here. You know there's a lot of ash shots lot of breast augmentation and people are going.
33:05.29
Bruce Anthony
Of yeah. Okay.
33:20.30
J. Aundrea
To other countries to have these things done in stuff is these are elective procedures. They're not covered by insurance. So B know and heavy tugs Some of y'all not going to reputable people and some of yall looked like all your body went.
33:22.97
Bruce Anthony
Then Bbls and and so yeah.
33:38.12
Bruce Anthony
Um.
33:39.38
J. Aundrea
Below your waist and it don't there's a funny song on tiktokck these Bb ls killing'all and the thighs don't match and that is accurate. Some of y'all some yall need to look up the reviews on the people y'all going through. But they estimated about one point two million americans travel every year to Mexico Mexico being the um, the most commonplace destination people go to for all kinds of procedures bringing in about 5000000000 into Mexico pre pandemicdemic people are going down there for.
34:10.94
Bruce Anthony
Are.
34:16.50
J. Aundrea
Cheaper prescription you know medicine people going out for cancer treatments dental people getting their grills redone. You know.
34:20.42
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, that was what was surprising to me like I knew people were going down there for plastic surgery I know a couple of people that went down there for plastic surgery. But I heard about the meds like the meds are cheaper but like I didn't realize it was that prevalent.
34:35.91
J. Aundrea
Um, measuring her. Yes, then a word. No, it's real like.
34:39.53
Bruce Anthony
Um, the cancer treatments and the dental work like come on now y'all like people can't afford. no no no I mean like people can't afford dental work in America like how are.
34:50.48
J. Aundrea
You can, but it's cheaper. They have lower overhead costs down. There is cheaper sometimes you're doing it to get around some red tape or restrictions or something like that. It's just easier to pick up fly down drive down to Mexico. Have what you want to have done. The problem is it is largely unregulated. It is unregulated. They said it was the triple u untracked untraced unregulated. It is incredibly dangerous to do this because a lot of times there you're not having.
35:13.36
Bruce Anthony
Yeah.
35:28.53
J. Aundrea
Any follow up with the you going down there. You having a procedure you shouldn't be flying because it opens you up to a risk of blood clots and these Bb ls is killing y'all y'all need to yall that don't match.
35:41.45
Bruce Anthony
Um, look I saw a girl in the gym the other day and it was clear that she had a bbl because it was just you know I'm a fitness professional so I can look at the body and be like I know what's real and what's not except for breast.
35:48.88
J. Aundrea
The.
35:55.63
J. Aundrea
Right.
35:56.76
Bruce Anthony
Most of the time I these breast implants then they've been perfecting it over the last fifty years and they have literally perfected it but these Bb ls are new and sometimes the bbls look fantastic I'm seen a couple of but like when your booty cheeks stick out so far but you.
36:06.99
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
36:15.23
Bruce Anthony
But your quad and hamstring is so small.
36:18.62
J. Aundrea
Yes, your thighs leave to matchch the ads that you are getting. You can't be standing on 2 bean stalks with a big all ass.
36:27.40
Bruce Anthony
And the the thing that I saw on the gym other day it was her ass was lapsed a lopsided like 1 was hide in the other and I was like oh baby it stopped me dead in my tracks in my while working out of the gym and if anybody was looking at me they may have thought I was looking at her ass and I was.
36:33.92
J. Aundrea
And yeah.
36:44.91
J. Aundrea
Yeah, got it that was looking as a medical professional now and and it's like you got to stick by it at that point because.
36:45.92
Bruce Anthony
But not in not in the manner of which they thought I was doing I was like I was like all sweetheart. That's that's what I said in my head all sweetheart like you pay for that now. Don't pay then get your money back. Youin' got a choice.
37:04.17
J. Aundrea
The revision surgery or whatever you need to fix. It is is gonna be another bill. So now you got but no, this is exactly how wanted it to look I wanted it to look like two hams. Two hams on a stick. This is how I envision this this is my this is the body I always wanted for myself. Okay, you can't and that's why these Bb ls are killing ah, ah.
37:21.77
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, and there are 2 hands on the stick oh stick I don't even know how you can hold the ham up on the stick.
37:38.87
Bruce Anthony
Um, like yeah so that article opened up and I know ah look medical cross in this country and our and our are our.
37:39.22
J. Aundrea
Ah, Theiums cannot be supported on two chopsticks.
37:49.95
J. Aundrea
Ridiculous. They're ridiculous.
37:55.20
Bruce Anthony
Our healthcare care system is just good god we are one of the well I would say we're one of the wealthiest countries but that's not really true because we are and so much debt. It's we so much debt. But we're supposed to be 1 of the richest countries in the world and ah 2 things.
38:06.20
J. Aundrea
Um, what.
38:09.75
J. Aundrea
Right.
38:14.20
Bruce Anthony
3 things should never be the case in this country. You should never have to worry about getting sick and not being able to take care of yourself should never have to worry about going hungry and you should never have to worry about not having a roof over your head. We have abundance of all 3 of those things.
38:21.25
J. Aundrea
In right.
38:34.13
Bruce Anthony
Um, don't get me started. No um I'm not gonna do it I was about to go on a tangent about some yeah I was about to go on it air. No I'm not gonna do it. Oh.
38:36.92
J. Aundrea
Know I saw I see the gears earning you you had sat up a little bit because you been kind of lounging in your seat and then all sudden you're readjusting you sitting up a little straighter.
38:49.98
Bruce Anthony
Where you know why I'm lounging right because I got rid of the chair I had too many is you notice I'm not talking so much of my hands anymore because my hands are by my sides So I got rid of the chair and I'm on this uncomfortable ass seat and my right butt cheek is falling asleep. So I'm slunched down.
38:55.17
J. Aundrea
Um, okay, okay, right.
39:04.80
J. Aundrea
Amazing.
39:07.48
Bruce Anthony
And putting a lot of pressure on my lower back, but that's neither here nor there if y'all want to know the tangent that I was about to go on I'm go on it on the after hours episode you can catch that on patreon.com backslash unsolicited perspectives. Um, yeah, no. So.
39:13.17
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah, boo Yeah Plug Unug plug.
39:24.17
Bruce Anthony
The health care system in this country is so horrible. The dental care system in this in this country is so horrible like okay so if you're poor in this country. You can't get on medicaid right? Older people can get medicare you if you're poor in this country and you're on Medicaid you can get a dental plan for your children.
39:32.97
J. Aundrea
MA.
39:42.25
J. Aundrea
Oh.
39:43.70
Bruce Anthony
There is a dental plan included in the medicaid for your children but not for you. So that's the reason why you got so many Jack jaw people out here in this world because they't go see a dentist regularly and.
39:48.67
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
39:57.29
J. Aundrea
The problem occurs when you're working class you had ah you make too much for medicaid but your job doesn't offer insurance so you have to purchase insurance out of pocket.
40:03.00
Bruce Anthony
E a.
40:14.81
J. Aundrea
And it's terrible insurance and it's expensive as hail.
40:15.48
Bruce Anthony
Yeah I mean we're not attacking obamacare right now are we? Okay, we got to be careful. Yeah yeah.
40:21.73
J. Aundrea
He did what he could do but let me tell you something these insurance companies and their lobbyists are mess now I did read some good news. United Health Care has decided to make insulin and something else.
40:38.94
Bruce Anthony
Okay, right right? I don't I don't even know how you can fight against making insulin cheaper because it costs so little to actually make.
40:40.76
J. Aundrea
Free but it should that it dust would he it and hell.
40:58.31
Bruce Anthony
Ah, even if you just make it cheaper. You're still gonna make a profit but that's capitalism. How.
40:59.94
J. Aundrea
Yeah I was that I was at the Pharmacy today I went to pick up I picked up 5 prescriptions. The lady in front of me was picking up insulin. And they were like do you? You know your copay is I think it was like two hundred and seventy dollars or something like that. No for that prescription for that insulin that she was picking up and that's generous I picked up 5 prescriptions I paid forty four cent and that's just because.
41:18.10
Bruce Anthony
What's that for a year a
41:27.94
Bruce Anthony
If.
41:32.48
J. Aundrea
My company offers a great insurance plan and this woman was trying to figure out how she was gonna get her insulin I mean it's trash. It's trash. It's company. That's country's I said this company and you know what I'm not wrong.
41:41.26
Bruce Anthony
But yeah, no.
41:51.35
J. Aundrea
I misspoke but guess what I was actually right this company who unite the United States of America I and yes is is is trash when it comes to taking care of his citizens. Don't.
41:55.44
Bruce Anthony
Um, yeah, this country is a company incorporating. Yeah yeah, yeah.
42:05.61
Bruce Anthony
But that's what capitalism is that's the reason why I was That's reason why I leaned up. But.
42:10.10
J. Aundrea
Yeah, you got you got straight your shoulders went back I was like I thought you was flexing on me I was like wait a wait I'm Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, wait a minute wait a damn minute.

Bruce Anthony
The Chiji Jewelter see what's that like I'm sorry fuck.
48:12.42

Um, you I mean first of all what y'all also have to understand is half of the things that we say are quotes from movies and television.
48:20.96
Bruce Anthony
Ah, we have some people out there that absolutely get it because they reach out to me and I like I remember that that was funny and I'm like see that's that's the reason why you're a fan of the show because you get my humor. Yeah yeah, yes, um.
48:25.80
J. Aundrea
Yes, you get it. You get it. You get us when you were ready I television And. We just loved movies and television and it all just became a part of our the lexicon between the 3 of us we speak in movie quotes and we have since we were drink.
48:46.58
Bruce Anthony
Here and and it all stems back from me creating brother and sister day.
48:53.20
J. Aundrea
Brother and sister day. We also got some good feedback about my interpretation of brother and sister day.
48:59.00
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, no, that was a good interpretation I'm actually speaking I'm actually interviewing somebody in that episode will probably be up Tuesday a clinical psychiatt says that deals with trauma and depression and.

J. Aundrea
2
49:16.89
J. Aundrea
Good word.
49:18.49
Bruce Anthony
Things like that. Um, which I think is fitting considering the fact that you broke it down to me is like yeah you know your ass was depressed and just needed to yeah and I was like I was.
49:27.60
J. Aundrea
Do something comfortable and calm. And yeah, yeah, meet meet. Ah your panic attack in high school that was the first time I heard of that. Yeah I didn't know.
49:32.43
Bruce Anthony
I Guess I didn't know it. But I I didn't know a lot of things back then I didn't know how much my anxiety and depression was.
49:41.58
Bruce Anthony
Um, really dupp tip where I was in the hospital like Mom I remember but we didn't know was a panic attack then right it at that time it was just like.
49:45.65
J. Aundrea

49:53.85
J. Aundrea
Ah, ah.
49:56.83
Bruce Anthony

Um, but that's exactly how it feels though. That's gonna feel That's how it feel.
50:15.48
Bruce Anthony
That's exactly how it feels and I was like I I don't know what this is and I don't I can't remember that day I don't know what triggered it and it probably wasn't any 1 instance it was probably a buildup of of a multitude of things I probably could have been chilling that day and something just triggered it. But yeah, they called the ambulance and they and they rushed me out and I was.
50:24.25
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah.
50:34.95
Bruce Anthony
So self-conscious about being rushed out in the ambulance because they they put me on the stretch and they had the little oxygen mask because I'm having trouble breathing and they they willing me out. Do the main we went to the same high school through the main entrance and it's like people getting out of class and like is that Bruce what happened to Bruce and all I could think was as I'm trying to breathe damage.

Bruce Anthony
They go be talk about my ass and I had to come up with a story for this and then I go to the hospital and they run all these tests and they're like well there's nothing physically wrong with them. But at that time nobody was like nobody said it then oh this is a panic attack.
