Bruce Anthony: But no, seriously, like we wouldn't be here without y'all. Like, we could still be here just because of my [00:05:00] ego. And the fact that I don't like quitting anything.

But we wouldn't be where we are as far as the podcast progressing. We're monetized on YouTube baby. That's 'cause of y'all

Jay Aundrea: Yes.

Bruce Anthony: That's 'cause of y'all. I mean, yes. We're creating the content. Y'all are watching the content. Do y'all know what that feels like to put something out there and it gets Over 20,000 people are, are following us on We. Well over a thou multiple thousand downloads audio each month. Like that's dope. Yeah. And y'all are not just watching the main show. Y'all are watching

the

exclusives. Y'all are watching the clips. Y'all are leaving comments? Some I don't let be put on. 'cause y'all, some of y'all get

Jay Aundrea: out pocket, like, let's listen.

We not celebrities. Okay. Let, is this my camera? We not celebrities. So I will clap back in the comments. So just so you y'all, some of y'all get outta [00:06:00] pocket, but the rest of y'all seriously like this. I, I have to second what you're saying because, um, yeah, we wouldn't be here, we wouldn't be in this beautiful studio.

We wouldn't be doing a lot of the stuff that we're support

Bruce Anthony: thank you Thank you.

Like for real. Thank you. One person I don't want to give a thank you

to

He's the current president now. We are gonna make a lot of this show Yes. But we're, we're recording the show on a day that it was announced that he is going to unleash, and I'm using that word specifically. Unleash the National Guard onto DC and take command of M-P-D-M-P-D, this Metro Police Department and basically occupy the city.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: Now I was in a group chat with some friends

And they were like, these [00:07:00] Yns is

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: And I would say it is, but the statistics show that crime is

Jay Aundrea: like 30% as far as as from what I've read. Yes.

Bruce Anthony: It's not Baghdad. What he tried to claim.

Jay Aundrea: No.

Bruce Anthony: He tried to claim that it was, uh, Columbia. Narco trafficking. He's stuck in the eighties. Yeah.

Yeah. He thinks, he thinks Bogota and Meridian is literally still, Pablo Escobar is still running things. And, and you've been,

Jay Aundrea: well, he is never progressed past, like 1988, not his style. Uh, you know, his, his interior decorate and tastes mm-hmm. Nothing about him has past like 88. So I can't I get that.

And plus that's probably the last time he actually

read a

newspaper or watched news that wasn't a hundred percent

geared towards

him. But yeah. What he is doing right now, what he announced today,

Breaking News: National Guard Drama Unpacked 🚨🪖

Jay Aundrea: he is gonna be

deploying about 800 National Guard. He is [00:08:00] federalizing our police force, uh, in the district.

Uh it's

extremely unsettling, of course.

This

is

probably the only time he did his job right. Which is he notified Congress appropriately, which means he's got 30 days. Unless they step in curtail it. But he for the next basically the only thing we could say y'all stay safe

Bruce Anthony: Didn't do it for January 6th. No. Didn't do it for January 6th.

Jay Aundrea: No.

Bruce Anthony: Well, but, but right now he wants to do it. And then what other cities did he name that he Chicago, New York.

Jay Aundrea: Baltimore.

Bruce Anthony: Baltimore. Which by the way, Baltimore's homicide rate has dropped significantly new mayor has taken over and instituted social programs to give something.

Not only the kids can do, but people in the community can do. 'cause why, when [00:09:00] social programs and things for people to do. Yes.

Things that

give

people hope, they won't turn to crime. It's simple concept, but I guess if you've been rich your entire life and been handed everything to you, even when you bankrupt.

Your companies multiple times, you get bailed out by overseas banks that got shady dealings. Yeah. Then you know that you can get away with anything and that's all, you know. You don't even know any other part of life in any other part of life to trash.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. Yeah. So he said, talking about there's a bunch of criminals and degenerates the data is not showing that, uh,

this

is

clearly just something he's going after. Uh democratic democratic uh, straight out of the fascist playbook even though stay woke,

Bruce Anthony: even though statistically red [00:10:00]

Jay Aundrea: I don't know the hundred, I don't know the data on that.

Bruce Anthony: I, I looked it up statistically.

Now numbers don't ever lie, but you can play with the numbers to make 'em make your case. Well, they

Jay Aundrea: tried that on the jobs report. It ain't work.

Bruce Anthony: My man came out there with them charts. He said, look at the chart, holding the chart upside down. I was like, what am I looking at?

Right? And he just held it up and just nodded his head. I was like, bro, what are you doing right now? Yeah, yo, that man is straight comedy and the press conference today when they had, what's her name? Janine Perro. Yeah. What's her name? Yeah,

Jay Aundrea: I think that's it. Janine Piero.

Bruce Anthony: Yeah. Janine Perro. Yeah. yeah.

Okay. Janine Perro. She was up there. That looked like an SNL sketch, you know, this upcoming Saturday? Yeah, because it's a joke. They're gonna replay the whole thing.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. Verbatim

Bruce Anthony: and Pete HEGs tag what his name Heeg. He, I don't,

Jay Aundrea: I don't know these people. It, it a, it's a cavalcade of D-list, uh, right wing [00:11:00] I, I don't know. I don't know any Except for, uh, That's, that's it. Um, but other than that, yeah, I mean so there will be National Guard deployed in the ICE has already been here and conducting raids. Um yeah, all all thing guys. This is going, this is not gonna be a sprint.

gonna be a cross country race. Um hell, I don't have any advice to be honest with you.

Bruce Anthony: My advice is this, this is my camera right here. My advice is this.

48

Bruce Anthony: you can give up. But,

Jay Aundrea: uh, everybody that's on

out But everybody

Bruce Anthony: Jay, we often talk about this just going back to 250 episode. 'cause I said I wanted to bring that up yeah. The rest of this is going to be really self-centered.

Mm-hmm. Yeah. We celebrating ourselves. Yeah.

Sibling Squabbles & Trust Issues: Real Talk Ahead 🤝😅

Bruce Anthony: And you celebrating ourselves and you, what to you has been a moment in us recording this show? Mm-hmm. That will be memorable 'cause we're [00:13:00] not gonna do the show forever. One day we gonna be old and decrepit.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: And you're gonna look back upon the time of us doing this show, whatever number that we

eventually

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: Is there gonna be a moment that you just like, nah, that was funny, that was

Jay Aundrea: There are really so many. I, I don't know that I have like one specific one. Um, we talked about a lot of good, honestly, anytime I, you give me the space to just kind of go off.

Bruce Anthony: off.

Jay Aundrea: That's, those are my, those are

Bruce Anthony: I, I don't remember what we were talking but

it was

the

time

that so many reached out and was like, y'all are good. 'cause we got into it one on one show.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: And, and what y'all don't understand is that we get into it often.

Yeah. See, uh, off air. On the last bunch of stuff that we recorded, I said, Hey, gonna [00:14:00] quit calling me out? You gonna quit calling me out on stuff, like stuff. Stop doing stuff

Jay Aundrea: that I have to call you out on.

Bruce Anthony: I was like, look, I don't, I don't like this. 'cause you're trying to say that everything that I talk about is about me.

And I'm like, no, I'm bringing it. I'm telling the story.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. But

Bruce Anthony: I'm bringing it because you always got a

Jay Aundrea: story.

Bruce Anthony: I always got a story.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: And I got 1,000,001 stories today. People calling me talking about, here's something that you could talk about on 250 episode. And I'm like, cool. You said you got a lot of stuff.

And they gave me one suggestion. Yeah. And I'm like,

Jay Aundrea: that's not a lot of stuff. That's not even stuff,

Bruce Anthony: that's not even a segment. That's not even a part of it. That's not

Jay Aundrea: even a

couple stuff.

Bruce Anthony: I don't

really think people realize, uh, how challenging it is to get up and talk for an hour and keep it engaging.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. It's not easy.

Bruce Anthony: It's not easy. And so there was a time to me and you got into it. Mm-hmm. And people were reaching like, are y'all good? I was like, hell yeah. Me and my sister, we cool as a fan. Yeah. Like our brother is in here. He's not gonna put himself on camera, but we [00:15:00] all get into it.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: But our parents kinda raised us to challenge back up what you're saying.

Jay Aundrea: Yes.

Bruce Anthony: If you came back up, what you're saying you don't, you don't have no right to say it.

Jay Aundrea: Right.

Bruce Anthony: Go defend your argument. If you can't defend it, go research it, then come back and defend

Jay Aundrea: Yeah

Bruce Anthony: And because that's the way that we interact. We ain't never gonna have no problem.

Jay Aundrea: No, no, no. We ain't never gonna have no problem.

We just, we just tell we're not gonna always agree on stuff. And I think that's when the best content comes out is when we don't agree.

Bruce Anthony: Yeah. Because people accuse us always agreeing. I'd be like, nah, our conversations are a lot more nuanced than that if you listen to us. We might agree on some things, but we don't agree on everything.

Jay Aundrea: No, uh, I mean, we're gonna agree on a lot. We're siblings. We have a very similar value so almost we're gonna agree on a lot of things. We get into it. We gonna get into it in a second, second.

one, but oh, oh, we gonna have difference of opinion on the second. I,

Bruce Anthony: yeah. I believe in [00:16:00] that second one.

'cause you're gonna accuse me once again and making it about me and I'm be like, it ain't about me. But nevermind we going, we gonna have a conversation.

Jay Aundrea: Okay. We're gonna have to, we gonna talk about it. We're gonna talk about it. But um, yeah, it's the times where we, where we disagree and we really get to talk about the full breadth a of an issue.

Those are

the those are the

Bruce Anthony: Because we have trust.

Jay Aundrea: Yes.

Bruce Anthony: Because we trust and respect one And that's the foundation of any type of trust and respect.

Jay Aundrea: And that's not easy with

Bruce Anthony: siblings because you grew up, you grew up together fighting.

Yes. Then one day you wake up in the morning and be as adults, you be like, you know what He's all right. You all right? I ain't like you for a good

Jay Aundrea: 15 years. 15 years. But you all right, actually. But like I

Bruce Anthony: said, trust and respect important in any relationship. You know, [00:17:00] where it's extremely important.

Where is that in romantic relationships, especially when there's marriage involved, but even when there's not marriage involved. Mm-hmm. And we are going to get into trust, respect, betrayal. Next, jay, you sent me a video.

And I often you on blast do no, no

Jay Aundrea: No. And I, I freely admit that. Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: But when you do mm-hmm. I'm like, oh, this is something that sparked your definitely Because I love that you said go Yeah. I love to just let you go. 'cause the audience loves that and you're always very insightful be dropping some jewels every now and then. Every now and then.

Every

Jay Aundrea: once, once in

Bruce Anthony: So you sent me [00:18:00] this video.

Do you wanna break it down for the audience, what this video

Viral Video Breakdown: Gender Roles & Hot Takes 🎥👀

Bruce Anthony: was basically about

Jay Aundrea: Yeah, so it was the, it was the pop the balloon show.

And there was a gentleman, and I feel like all the women popped their balloon pretty quickly.

And so the host was asking each why And overwhelmingly it was because of the way he interacted he was very argumentative. Very, you gonna hear what I gotta say? Type of, and, and when the women would stand up for the other woman, I don't, I popped my balloon because I don't like the way that you Oh, you a girl's girl.

Huh? You a girl's girl. Not really defining what that meant. He was asked several times what he means by girl's, girl, and I could tell you what he meant as feminist, as a pejorative. And so, uh, I just thought it was an [00:19:00] interesting video because his perspective was, you shouldn't be worrying how I talk to the next person.

Just worry about how I And that to me it no. How you handle other people is, is a clear reflection or indicative of how you And so if I see freely disrespecting other That's a turn off for me because what's gonna stop Mm-hmm. So I just thought, I just

Bruce Anthony: So if, if, if it's current Yes. I absolutely judge a current person However, everybody in this room know I got a shaky past when it come to relationships.[00:20:00]

But I've grown and matured. I wouldn't want somebody to know about my And judge the person that I am currently

Jay Aundrea: Right.

Bruce Anthony: On my past.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. I'm full. I fully agree that you have to give people the opportunity to grow and This was him in that moment, the way he was talking to another woman.

completely turned off every there

Bruce Anthony: and he was outta pocket.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Love, Trust & Red Flags: Relationship Realness 💔🔍

Bruce Anthony: And, he was outta pocket. But I was also watching, there's this, this, he's not his pastor, talks women's place. Mm-hmm. And what they should be Some of his leadership are talking about Yeah. Saying there Basically saying women shouldn't have a voice. And there are some women that actually agree in that congregation. Like

Jay Aundrea: yeah,

Bruce Anthony: he's the [00:21:00] leader, he's the head of the household, I don't agree with that. But if other people want to live that life, that's up to them.

Yeah, that's fine. And so this brother that was on this pop the balloon, that's the life he wants to live. And if that's the life he wants to live, there's a reason why he's on that show. Okay. There's a lot of people on that show. For Paris Re

Jay Aundrea: no. The reason why he's single is because of the way he talked.

Bruce Anthony: Well, there might be some women that, that are just like, yes. That are subservient.

Jay Aundrea: Yes.

Bruce Anthony: Ladies and gentlemen, hold on. I don't want

no

Jay Aundrea: Nobody said you, but I also

Bruce Anthony: read something recently. Yeah That somebody, a, philosopher, said men might settle for woman.

Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.

Bruce Anthony: But they want an independent because they want to be able to cage that bird [00:22:00] Like that's what the appeal is.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: And so I was like, damn, I hope I'm not one of those type of people. I feel like that, that wanna cage that bird. I

Jay Aundrea: feel like that's because, because of the attack that the attacks that independent Constantly field from these podcast bros, right? Of like, oh, is she an independent woman? Oh, she a girl, girl. She a feminist, she a, this, the, or that. Why do you feel the need to take me down a peg? I'm just not the woman for you. So this goes back to what I said so many times of just finding who shares your value system.

If you want a traditional household with traditional gender roles and things, like, there are plenty of, but the problem is she don't look like Megan thee stallion. That's the problem. Okay?

Bruce Anthony: We all want

Jay Aundrea: mi Miss, miss, miss Julie, down [00:23:00] at the church. Not Miss, miss Julie, who, who will make sure your house is clean, the kids are washed and homework's done, and the, and the dinner's ready by six and all of that.

Miss Shirley and them, they don't look like. And that's what, that's the problem. That's, that's the problem. But guess what fellas? Who is Meg Dayton?

Bruce Anthony: Uh, clay Thompson.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. Y'all don't look like Clay And y'all ain't got Clay Thompson money.

Bruce Anthony: Okay. Now say that.

'cause it's not like Clay Thompson's his handsome brother.

Jay Aundrea: He's not a ugly, I think he's attractive

Bruce Anthony: his personality, if you like, see him on He's hilarious. So, and I, I try to tell guys all the yes, women are drawn to physical characteristics Yeah We're human beings but not like men are men will be what?

A woman, bad as hell and the worst person in the world. Yeah, I've seen it.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah, I've seen it. [00:24:00] And I'm just like, my guy, you're unhappy. Yeah, but

Bruce Anthony: right?

Jay Aundrea: And I'm like,

Bruce Anthony: alright. And then you'll see a fine woman with a brother that's just like,

Jay Aundrea: Any sitcom, any family sitcom. Just the beautiful wife and

the

sch slub

husband,

Bruce Anthony: because Harriet was beautiful and Carl show the hell wasn't holding it down.

I'm talking about family matters ladies and gentlemen. Right. But going back to this video, I don't see anything wrong with the they were judging him how he was interacting

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: I find a problem with him because look, bro, if, if you want a subservient and they're not gonna be subservient, there's no reason to attack them

Jay Aundrea: Right? That's just not the woman for you.

Bruce Anthony: But this is where I said that this brings me that a lot of people fit Uh what is it Round pegs in the [00:25:00] square hole.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: That, that's not what it is. That is it. That's it. I said it right? Yeah.

Ladies and gentlemen, I said it right. Lemme give you an example. Okay. A personal example. 'cause you know I got a story. I know you got

Jay Aundrea: a story. Yes.

Bruce Anthony: I have known this woman for years and we are not dating, but we talked about it because there's And she got on me 'cause she said, you want everything to be 50 50?

not what She's like, what's the difference? I said, the difference by both people. Yes. But the percentage of what they give is gonna be different in time. Right. Yeah. There might be 70% to male, 30% to female because got a lot of stuff going on at work, or she's going through something personally.

Right. And vice versa. But there needs to be a hundred percent effort given into that [00:26:00] partnership. Yes. That's what I mean. In a partnership. Yeah. was like, I just think men should take care of everything. I was like, well, you don't believe that. Because if you take care of everything, then that means you wanna go back to those traditional roles.

And in those traditional roles, when men take care of everything, shut the hell up and you're not the type of person to shut the hell up and do as they're told. No, I have a voice Exactly. Then you don't want a situation. Exactly.

What you want is a cake. You I said what you want is friends with benefits. It's the same concept, right? You want what you want mm-hmm. In your corner, in your favor.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: With complete disregard to the other person.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. I mean, I feel like, uh, inherently selfish. Selfish, yeah.

Yeah. So of course we would like for our lives and relationships to be exactly what we want them or So that's, I understand that, but if you are [00:27:00] going to get into a relationship My, this is advice coming But if you're gonna get into

Bruce Anthony: I'm semi No, I'm single.

Jay Aundrea: If you're gonna get into a relationship, you can't think like that

Bruce Anthony: Right? No. You have to think it is a partnership, unless y'all both agree. Right. These are gonna be the traditional roles.

Tradition vs. Today: Who Pays, Who Stays? 💸🤔

Bruce Anthony: But for a lot of these women out here, and I'm not dragging women, I'm dragging specifically women that talk about they want to have these traditional roles where men take care of But they don't want to go back to what that actually meant. Right. What that meant was women couldn't get a credit card without men signing off on it.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: Women can only do certain jobs. Well, I only wanna work, I only wanna be at home and take care of the kids. Cool. You don't get a say in anything.

Yeah. That's, that's how

things

were back in the day. Things are better now. Yes, yes. So, but if you want that, cool. Just understand that when it, when it comes to that. You want that [00:28:00] traditional male realize that traditional male is controlling. He wants things his way. Yeah. And if he's paying all the bills and taking care of everything, you can only shut the hell up.

You can't have it both ways. And for the men out there that say, I want this woman to be at home taking care of the kids and and cooking my meals when I come home, cool. That means she ain't gotta work.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: That means she ain't gotta have a job. Right. You know why? 'cause you want this traditional woman be a traditional man.

You be the breadwinner. The only breadwinner. that's the problem that I have with a lot of people out here talking about

traditional

roles

and taking

it back. Yeah. Is that they want it one way. Yeah. And as a great Marlowe Stanfield said, you want it one way, the other

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. I don't even know what that means, but it sound good.

Bruce Anthony: No, meaning that they want it their way, but it's really the other way. [00:29:00] Like, it, it, it's, it's, if you want traditional, it's gonna be traditional. Yeah. It's gonna be back in the day, traditional.

Jay Aundrea: And I, and I, as a feminist, the whole point of it is not, you know, equality with then again, you have to ask which men, right.

'cause not all men are equal It's not about that. I don't, it, it, it, it is not even really to me about equity. It's about It's about being able to say, okay, I be a traditional wife and mother, or I choose to be a working wife and mother, or, I choose not to be a wife and mother at all.

Or I choose to do it on my own. Or I ch like, it's about being able to choose the life you want for yourself. And there's nothing wrong with wanting traditional. A traditional household, traditional gender roles or any of that stuff, there's nothing wrong with that as choice. And back in the day, it was not a choice.

It was just the way you had to [00:30:00] live. But now we don't have to live like that. So if it's your choice and you and it works for the two of you, great, great. That's wonderful. It's the people who stay, who keep going out their stay in your lane date. The people who share your belief system, who share your stop trying to convert who don't have that same If you meet a woman who wants to be taken care of and she'll take care of the home while you provide and protect and all of that, but you want 50 50, stop trying to convince her to go 50 50, y'all have two different value Find somebody else.

Bruce Anthony: Yeah.

Jay Aundrea: Stop. Stop being out here terrorizing people.

Bruce Anthony: But you asked what does betrayal have

Jay Aundrea: Yes.

Bruce Anthony: betrayal by not being honest [00:31:00] yourself.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: About what you want, communicating what you want.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: And accepting the fact that maybe the person that you want doesn't want the same things as you.

Jay Aundrea: Yes.

Bruce Anthony: But you try to still work it out anyway because that's the person portraying yourself and you're portraying the person that, that want to be with.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: And yes, we are two people up here and you're

Jay Aundrea: closing and you're closing yourself off from the person you could actually be with. Right. By entertaining things or, or trying to force things that. Like you said, uh, it is a square peg and a round hole, but a round peg and a square hole maybe.

Sure. The fact is the shapes don't match. And so

Bruce Anthony: truth the power or

power

the truth,

Jay Aundrea: one or the other,

Bruce Anthony: taking it back to the first episode, that's how we celebrate two 50 baby.

Jay Aundrea: Gotta bring a full circle. Gotta bring

Bruce Anthony: a full, bring a full circle. Truth. The power [00:32:00] five, the truth's One of the two things, right?

Bruce Anthony: No, I got me a little drink, but I can't handle It's stuff in here. I, I'd be spelling stuff. Yeah, they

Jay Aundrea: not, yeah, you would.

Betrayal & Self-Discovery: Lessons Learned 🕵️‍♂️💡

Bruce Anthony: I'm a little kid when would, but yeah, it's betrayal of yourself.

Jay Aundrea: I agree with that.

Bruce Anthony: And, and it, look, you know, I had to tell the person, is probably not gonna work

Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm

Bruce Anthony: Because we're not gonna see eye to eye on as I was person, and, and mind you, I've explained this particular issue with a lot of my female friends. Mm-hmm. Because who doesn't wanna be taken care of? Ladies and gentlemen out there, women, just to let you know, I'm willing to be taken care of.

I'll be a tra husband. Yeah. I don't care. Like, I'll, I'll, I'll accept the role.

Jay Aundrea: I don't know anybody who care of. Right. To a [00:33:00] Like we're human beings. We desire being, nurtured, loved all of these things. So there's the, to a certain extent, everybody wants to be taken care of in some way shape or but

Bruce Anthony: it come with a cost. It comes with a cost comes,

Jay Aundrea: there's a trade off for everything. Yeah. Nothing's free. You can

Bruce Anthony: accept that trade off, more power to you, but if you can't, you're portraying yourself and portraying the people need to come out here and they need to start realizing, Hey, look, I like this person.

I love this This person ain't the person for me. Yeah. Because I want different things. If a person, if two people get together and one gets offered a new job on the other side of the country

Jay Aundrea: mm-hmm.

Bruce Anthony: And it's their dream job.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: But you can't move because of your current job. What do y'all do?

Well, y'all gotta do what's best for you. Yeah. Don't betray yourself. Don't say, well, I'm not gonna take my dream job 'cause you can't come with me, or I can't leave my,

Jay Aundrea: but people do that. People do that every day. People

Bruce Anthony: do that and then they [00:34:00] end up resenting the other person.

Jay Aundrea: Yes.

Bruce Anthony: by building a hotel, giving them a job, giving them a place to stay in a hotel. Mm-hmm. As they work in a hotel

Jay Aundrea: Yeah

Bruce Anthony: And it wouldn't be to generate money. It would be an opportunity for people to get back up on their feet and I would promote it as that.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: And then, you know a lot of The community would come and stay in a hotel and that would just go back into services. We would have social service programs [00:59:00] to help with addicted to. Medical programs mental health issues. Yeah. That's the first thing that I would do, would be start a foundation or something like that.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah, that was true. But still, but a, after I do, I do that,

like that thing where I get my would, yeah, it would be to start cutting checks because, well, ultimately if I won the lotto, I would give myself a salary and then everything else would be, I wouldn't because then I, because then. can say, Hey, can you loan? Can you gimme a million dollars? Nope. I'm not liquid.

I get a little salary based on, well, you just, maybe my returns or something. Yeah. I get a little salary and that's, that's, that's how I live.

Jay Aundrea: Yep That's it. That's all I, I've be a mom. That's pretty much my only life goal that I've ever Oh, yeah, yeah. That, yeah. I, I would also like to have a, a coffee shop slash event space, but my ultimate life goal also.

Yeah. Yeah. But my ultimate life goal or

Bruce Anthony: It is. And if any woman out there that's got some money wanna take care of me, wants somebody to, I actually, you know, I have an agreement

Jay Aundrea: mine.

Mm-hmm.

Bruce Anthony: and then as

Jay Aundrea: we tend to make at our age.

Yeah, yeah.

Bruce Anthony: You know you know. But yeah. You gotta [01:02:00] have a plan B. I don't think that's, well, I have it. I don't think that's what my goal is

Jay Aundrea: What is your life goal dream now?

Bruce Anthony: I don't Uh, yeah, because I

don't,

Ooh, I don't have a goal. I was literally, did you get

Jay Aundrea: this

Bruce Anthony: Yes

and no. If my goal is to

make

money off the podcast, then it become authentic.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. Because

Bruce Anthony: then the goal becomes to make money. And, and don't get me wrong, this is a business, but as somebody who businesses before, the larger goal has to be why you started it.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: And I didn't start it to make money.

This is a byproduct and it's a great byproduct. It'd be even greater if we was making more [01:03:00]

at least cover the bills. But, but, but no, I, the goal, I, I don't have a larger goal and, and honestly, I've accomplished everything that I've ever wanted to accomplish in my life, aside from having a family, but everything else I've accomplished everything.

There's not been one thing that I've been like. that didn't happen the way I wanted to. Yeah. I wanted to play college ball, but I still had the opportunity I chose, once I got to college, I didn't wanna play ball. Yeah. Because I didn't love it. I liked it. Yeah.

Jay Aundrea: I

Bruce Anthony: was in like, with it not in love.

Yeah. Which I've also uh, that I meant like, but I think that's okay. Like,

Jay Aundrea: I feel like a lot of times people get too wrapped up in like, what's the purpose of my life? I mean, I, I really honestly don't think it matters. I think that, if go to bed feeling like [01:04:00] today was all right, then I feel like that's, that's fine.

Like I, I don't think you need a life's purpose some ultimate goal or things, because then once you reach it or accomplish it, then what you gonna I think it's a, life is small goals. That you

Bruce Anthony: Yeah.

Jay Aundrea: And, and you hope to accomplish them one by one, and then you set I think that's, I think

Bruce Anthony: but enjoy the journey of accomplishing Right. Don't be so obsessed with accomplishing your goals that you can't appreciate the journey. 250 episodes in
