Sibling Happy Hour: Sips, Laughs & Sibling Shenanigans 🍹😂

Bruce Anthony: it's the sibling happy hour. I'm here with my sis Jay Andrea. We're gonna be Dly dad in a little bit. Then we're gonna be talking about Bad Bunny, and then we're gonna be talking about, am I a jerk Reddit story.

And it's about [00:01:00] reviews online, but that's enough of the intro. Let's get to the show.

 

Bruce Anthony: What up sis?

Jay Aundrea: What up?

Bruce Anthony: I can't call it. I can't call it.

Killer Mike's Presidential Wishlist 🇺🇸✊

Bruce Anthony: Before we get into any type of craziness, something popped up that I thought would be interesting to talk about during the Daily. Daily.

Jay Aundrea: Okay.

Bruce Anthony: I know you probably have some issues with Killer Mike.

Jay Aundrea: I do.

Bruce Anthony: Yes. Because he took Kemp's side and that 2022 Governor election, uh, race down in Georgia.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. Okay.

Bruce Anthony: Yeah. Uh, but he's also very financially literate and,

and wants to spread that. So everybody can't be perfect, I guess, but he wants

to really? Yeah. He wants to really uplift the black community.

So [00:02:00] he was on Club Shehe the other day and he gave off a list of stuff, 10 things that he would do if he was president of the United States.

Jay Aundrea: Okay.

Bruce Anthony: Okay. So here they are. He would create a reparations plan.

Jay Aundrea: He would immediately be impeached.

Bruce Anthony: Okay. He would take debt out of college.

Jay Aundrea: That's, yeah. A lot of first world countries have free college.

Bruce Anthony: Forgive all college debt.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. You would be setting up wealth, a generational wealth in this country for decades.

Bruce Anthony: This next one just sounds MAGA ish, but public schools return to greatness. I don't know what that means.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. Our public schools were never great.

Bruce Anthony: Return trades to high schools.

Jay Aundrea: That's also, yeah, I mean a lot of high schools do have trade programs, but,

Bruce Anthony: Not like, not like they did in the

Jay Aundrea: do you. [00:03:00] Well, yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Like you can't, I don't think a lot of schools have auto shop and everything anymore, but I know a lot of people who did like cosmetology culinary, you know, so they still have those, maybe not in the school.

You might have to give bus somewhere else. But yeah, definitely bringing that back for sure.

Bruce Anthony: Uh, state colleges more make state colleges more accessible,

Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.

Bruce Anthony: support older people, more specifically make the retirement age earlier.

Jay Aundrea: That, that has to do with finances and

Bruce Anthony: Well, if you do those other things that it seems like you would naturally make a

pathway to retirement. Yeah.

Make a pathway to legal citizenship, easier,

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. That's part, that's supposed to be the whole point of this country, but, okay.

Bruce Anthony: bilingual classes early. In other

words, start those bad boys, like in elementary school, which I

think [00:04:00] some school districts have.

Jay Aundrea: it's, it's best to start it early while their, their brains are still forming. It is really, really dumb to start foreign language in middle school, high

Bruce Anthony: Yeah, I don't know

Jay Aundrea: You have to, you have to create those folds in the brain that makes you, you know, even susceptible to learning a language. You gotta start that early.

So, yeah, that's a good one.

Bruce Anthony: And then guarantee minority businesses, uh, get federal grants.

Jay Aundrea: I don't know how you can guarantee that, but you could make it easier. You could make it more equitable, for sure. Yeah. And that's a great fantasy list.

Bruce Anthony: That's, that's socialism at height.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah, that's a great fantasy list. The thing I like about it is that when you target like the, I say this all the time. When you, when you help the most vulnerable population, it trickles up. [00:05:00] Nothing trickles down, nothing trickles down. It trickles up. If you create safety nets and programs and initiatives that help the most vulnerable populations, everybody benefits as a result.

You start from the bottom up. Nobody builds a house starting with the roof. That's dumb. I never understood trickle down theory. You start with the foundation, you start with the people whose society has placed at the bottom. So that's a, that's a very lovely dream. Good for him.

Black People Calling You Dumb Without Saying It 😂💀

Bruce Anthony: Okay. No, I think I, I think that, uh, and, and I wanna be clear, when he says minority owned businesses, you do realize that's anybody that's a minority. Uh, so women out there, white women, y'all were the ones that benefited the most off of a affirmative action. So just to point that out there, you are a minority, so

y'all would fit into these [00:06:00] things.

Jay Aundrea: Even though we make up women in general make up more than half of the population, we are still considered a minority

Bruce Anthony: Which is, which is crazy

because you got a 50 50 shot from birth

Jay Aundrea: right.

Bruce Anthony: and women still

Jay Aundrea: Literally it's a coin

Bruce Anthony: it's a coin flip.

which means that men ain't taking care of ourselves. What you think about this expression, if a black person tells you it ain't that much love in the world, they're calling you dumb.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah, that's correct. There's a lot of very like subtle but very pointed ways that black people will call you stupid. You better than

  1. That's, that's a good one. Well, you better than me. I if you like it, I love it.

Bruce Anthony: That's the, I, it was funny because somebody white said that to me,

if you like it, I love it. And I was like, wait a minute. What? What you trying to say? Like I love the

idea. I [00:07:00] was like, that's not what that, that's not

Jay Aundrea: that's not what that means.

Bruce Anthony: do you mean if you like it? I

Jay Aundrea: heard no. It has said s sardonically, it has said dripping with

Bruce Anthony: S sardonically is sarcasm. Is that what that word means?

Jay Aundrea: sardonic is not sarcasm. They're two different words.

Bruce Anthony: I obviously, I know they're two different words, but I'm talking about there similar in there. Meaning because the way you use

that in the Yeah.

Okay. 'cause you way in the context of which you used it. I had never heard that word before, but I was like, Hmm. Must be something closely related to sarcasm. Like

Sarcasms cousins.

Jay Aundrea: you know who's often called sardonic. You remember the, the cartoon? Daria. Daria.

Bruce Anthony: of course. D, yes, because

I've known several darias in my life.

You are low key Daria. That's the reason why you

loved that show Growing up.

Jay Aundrea: I love that show. I loved it, and I love that the highest achieving kids in that show were the two black students.[00:08:00]

Bruce Anthony: Hmm.

Jay Aundrea: That's what I love the most.

Bruce Anthony: Well, I, I, I used to walk in and you watching that show, I was like, you just like that show 'cause that's you, y'all are both jerks.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. Not jerks

Bruce Anthony: what you call it,

Jay Aundrea: or observational. And we, uh, don't suffer fools.

Bruce Anthony: I don't even, don't suffer fools. Wait a minute, what does that mean?

Jay Aundrea: That means I'm not gonna put up with foolishness. I don't have a high tolerance for, for foolery.

Bruce Anthony: Now that's a Bruce Anthony lie, which is a KAA baldheaded lie because you have absolutely stood up for foolishness before way longer than should have. We.

Jay Aundrea: What if I stood up for

Bruce Anthony: We ain't gonna put your

The Art of Suffering Fools and Wrinkles 🤦‍♂️😤

Bruce Anthony: personal business out there, but you have stood up for some foolishness in your

life. Okay?

Jay Aundrea: yeah. Well, we all had the moments.

Bruce Anthony: What a fool believes what a fool believes.

Jay Aundrea: a fool believes.

Bruce Anthony: Listen, what's that [00:09:00] song?

Jay Aundrea: all, we all dated somebody from Kenny's worked at Kenny's shoes. We all have

That was a Dave Chappelle joke. That

Bruce Anthony: Uh, everybody plays the fool.

Jay Aundrea: sometimes.

Bruce Anthony: I done played the fool. I done played the fool more than a few times with the same person.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

And it's like, fool me once, but damn it is like, you got eight, nine more times to fool me before I'm really fed up.

Bruce Anthony: I'm like, I'm like, W I'm like, W Hey, fool me once. Shame on you, fool me twice. It's a shame that I've been fooled. I, I don't know

Jay Aundrea: No, he, he, I think he said, fool me once. Shame on you. Fool me twice. Hey, fool me again.

And like, that's not, that's like somebody, I don't remember who said this, maybe it was Jesse Jackson. I don't remember actually, but the line is, [00:10:00] I think it's from United Negro College Fund. Like, uh, a mine is a terrible thing to waste or something like that. And he said, it's a terrible thing to lose your mind.

Bruce Anthony: Which is also true, which

is Also true. Okay.

Jay Aundrea: is true.

Bruce Anthony: a terrible thing to lose your mind.

Jay Aundrea: it is, but that's not the slogan. That is not the slogan at all. But no, I, I, I suffer fools on a. On a hourly basis, like that's

like I put up with a lot of, I don't have a choice. And

so that's, yeah. No, uh, honestly, daily. Daily,

Bruce Anthony: I, I wish, God, this is gonna sound so egotistical and pompous, but it's

Jay Aundrea: that's kind of your

Bruce Anthony: It, it, it is, it, it's, it's not the brand that I want to live in, but

Jay Aundrea: but it's

Bruce Anthony: it,

Jay Aundrea: if my [00:11:00] brand is sarcasm, your brand.

Bruce Anthony: I, I be getting up on my soapbox a lot,

Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Bruce Anthony: the reason why I do it is because I got these wrinkles in my forehead.

Now, why do I have these wrinkles in my forehead? Is it genetic? No, not necessarily. Right?

Is it because I'm aging? I am aging.

Like there's, I I age every

day. I think I look good for 45, but I age

every single day.

But why do I have these wrinkles, right? Why do I have these laugh lines and these wrinkles on my forehead? The laugh lines are easy to explain.

I love to laugh and I need to laugh as much as I can because the wrinkles on my forehead is a always, what the hell do you mean face?

What the hell did you just say face?

And I

feel like a lot of times people say things around me and I'm just like, okay, I, I really don't know how you think that way.[00:12:00]

Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.

Bruce Anthony: and it's kind of aggravating. I'm like, why can't you think better than that?

Like, that's, that's literally like, how did

you

Jay Aundrea: it's crazy, right? Because you can't be like, I wish you were smarter. Like you can't, like, it's almost like you can't

Bruce Anthony: I, low

key. No, I low key call people stupid like all the time.

I but I do with a smiling on my fa on my face

and they don't get like too offended.

But I

call people

Jay Aundrea: that's, that's kind of like the great thing of like, the way I sound, like the way my voice sounds and the way I say things is most people think I'm joking. I'm not a comedian. I'm not Kevin Hart. I am not a comedian. I am saying what I actually think. And y'all, John, are you crazy?

Okay. Uh, all right, well, I said what I said, but, but like, yeah, [00:13:00] it feels like rude somehow. And it shouldn't be to be like, Hey, I wish you read more books. know, like, it feels like a thing you can't really

Why People Need to Read More 📚🧠

Jay Aundrea: say, but a thing you should say.

Bruce Anthony: Not even books. Just

read more

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. I just wish you read more and, and also do it aloud because I'm not, I want you to practice that also.

Bruce Anthony: Look, I can't say nothing 'cause I'm often reading from the script. Now, recently, ladies, gentlemen, I've been reading the script beforehand because I realized that reading it cold and, and it's hot in here and my speech impediment wasn't a good idea

though I still think I'm a good reader, but, but sometimes, sometimes I be messing up.

But

yes, people need to read out loud a little bit more. I know we all have fears from when we were younger.

Nobody liked being called on. That doesn't mean that you're a [00:14:00] bad reader,

Jay Aundrea: Yeah,

Bruce Anthony: but also you need to read a little bit more. I, I

need people to do a little bit more research on certain things,

Jay Aundrea: yeah. Read. I need you to read

Bruce Anthony: uh, uh, not, uh, not even that.

Like somebody will send me something and be like, can you believe this? And I'm like, well, no, I can't believe it. This can't possibly be real.

Let me just Google a quick. Cursory Google search.

Let me just see if it's real, because my initial instinct is to say this isn't real.

If it is real. Wow. But my initial instinct, instinct is to be like, nah, this isn't real.

And sure enough, when I Google search it, it's not real.

And I'm like, Hey, this isn't real. Are you sure? Yeah. It, you could look it up too yourself. It takes 2.5 seconds. Uh, it's the amount of time that it takes you to literally copy and paste or type in something in Google.

You could figure it out and then

Jay Aundrea: But you know, go ahead,

[00:15:00] sorry.

Bruce Anthony: like, they'll do it to me constantly.

And they'll be like, yeah, but I know you'll research it. And I'm like, you know what? I'm just gonna let you be dumb. I'm not gonna

research anymore for you. I'm just gonna let you believe what you wanna believe.

Jay Aundrea: I actually have a lot of empathy for people who get caught up in stuff. Without doing their due diligence, because I recently almost got scammed.

Bruce Anthony: Hmm.

Jay Aundrea: I recently almost, boy, it was, it was down, it took me entirely too long to realize I was being scammed. But I got an email from a prospective recruiter, from, from a big company, and he had like all this information from my LinkedIn profile and like, uh, we think you'd be a great fit.

We have some roles open. Are you interested? I replied back that I was interested and I sent him a copy of my resume. He responds back you know, with like feedback on my resume, how it can be improved [00:16:00] and they use a certain like AI model when they're reviewing resumes, I can recommend a, a resume expert for you.

And so I was about to respond and I was just like, this feels like. A lot for like a recruiter to do, right? Like it feels like a lot for a recruiter to

  1. So, like a dummy, uh, he had like a link to his LinkedIn profile and like the career page for this company. So like a dummy, I clicked the links.

Luckily it did actually go to a LinkedIn profile, but to have been a recruiter for this company for 15 years, and this is a big global company, how you only got 31 LinkedIn connections and you were working for a company for 15 years and you ain't gotten no promotions. You've been in that same position.

You didn't even get [00:17:00] promoted to like a

Getting Scammed in 2025: A Cautionary Tale 🚨💸

Jay Aundrea: manager or nothing, none of that. And then I looked at the email address he was sending from, and it was a Gmail account, and I was like, okay, I'm being scammed. But I, I went through a couple email, you know, they, the whole point of this clickbait and all of this stuff is that they prey on people's like sensibilities.

Like they, he preyed on the fact that I'm clearly still a, you know, and a college student. Like it's all it is on my LinkedIn, right? Like I, I'm a college student and, and this, that, and a third, and like, oh, she's probably gonna be looking for a job. So like, they're preying on that. And then you think you're being headhunted by a big company and you fall for the Okie-doke.

So I actually recently, like within the past couple days, have gotten a lot more empathy. For people who get caught up in these scams because they're really sophisticated. And, [00:18:00] like everything about, like usually, you know, you read a scam email, the, the English ain't that good, you know, punctuation's off, you are like, oh, this is clearly a scam.

This was a very sophisticated, I did not think that this was a scam, but eventually they would've asked for some money, right? Like, this resume expert would've asked me to pay, and then once they got my information,

then all my money gone. Right. So, you know, I know that they would just be practicing, right.

I ain't got no money, but like,

Bruce Anthony: We

hit the wrong person. I thought we

Jay Aundrea: don't know that Yeah, you

ain't gonna get, you ain't get nothing from me. So, but yeah, I got, I got a little more empathy for the people who jumped the gun like that.

Bruce Anthony: feel you. Those are scams

people that fall for scams. Okay. That's not necessarily what I'm talking about.

Jay Aundrea: No, these fake news is also scams.

Bruce Anthony: Well, yeah, [00:19:00] yeah, yeah. I had to talk somebody down earlier. They did, they were doing what I call, it's my ladies and gentlemen, this is not a scientific term. It's what I labeled this as being.

It's stacking. So when you have one thing that's stressing you out,

it can take you through a Charlotte's web of other things that's stressing you out and you just

keep stacking one stressor on top of another, another

another until you become overwhelmed and it can potentially lead to a panic attack.

That's what it used to happen to me for years ago. I haven't had, thank God, I haven't had a panic attack in like three, four years. Right.

But they were doing stacking

Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.

Bruce Anthony: and I was just like, okay, you gotta recognize that you're doing stacking. So you have to

have self-awareness and

then you have to pull it back and then you have to take deep breaths and like. Yeah. People will do this. People will build upon these type of [00:20:00] things. People will read things all day long in the news and everything and be

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. Do

Bruce Anthony: and

stack doom scroll. I mean, it's a, it's a real thing.

People need to chill out.

But if you are going to doom scroll and you come across something that seemed dumb as hell

Jay Aundrea: Right.

Bruce Anthony: or maybe doesn't seem dumb as hell to you still just do a cursory Google search.

Don't call

Jay Aundrea: fakes. The deep fakes are really, really good now. So you do have to do your due diligence when you see

things like,

Bruce Anthony: fell for a

Jay Aundrea: got it.

Bruce Anthony: and I'm

gonna bring it up in a

Jay Aundrea: knew it was a deep

Bruce Anthony: okay,

Jay Aundrea: thing I posted in my stories.

Yeah,

Bruce Anthony: was gonna bring it up

the next

Jay Aundrea: hilarious.

Bruce Anthony: It is hilarious.

Jay Aundrea: And, and, and honestly, I could. It's not like he didn't say something like that before.

The Stacking Effect: When Stress Builds Up 😰📊

Bruce Anthony: ladies and gentlemen, we'll get into depth about it in the next segment 'cause it's all tied into the next segment. Don't worry

about it. We not speaking in code for y'all not to be able to understand.

We going to talk about [00:21:00] it in depth. I just don't want to get into it this segment. I want to get into it next segment, but uh, back to the original statement, I'm not falling for nothing because you know how many times I've gotten emails personal and work emails

threatening, Hey, we caught you watching porn and we saw it through your camera.

We reverse engineered it, and they have a video of it and we gonna send it to all your family members or loved ones and friends, if you don't send us some money and I write back, go ahead.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

All I would say is that,

Bruce Anthony: Okay,

Yeah. Okay.

Jay Aundrea: on.

Bruce Anthony: Okay.

Yeah. Ain't no

Jay Aundrea: cares?

Bruce Anthony: not,

you can't embarrass me.

Jay Aundrea: will not care. Now we have some sanctified religious folks in our family, but

Bruce Anthony: But I mean, you.

Jay Aundrea: and far between to be honest. So honestly,

Bruce Anthony: And honestly, and honestly, I don't give a damn what they think about me.

I'm gonna live my life anyway.

Jay Aundrea: Right.

That's really not, that's really not a threat for us.

Y'all. [00:22:00] I'll get, really not a threat.

Bruce Anthony: that's a empty threat. Okay,

Jay Aundrea: I, I, John, I'm gonna leak your photos. I took them

Bruce Anthony: Right. I know what they

are.

Jay Aundrea: I know what they're,

Bruce Anthony: They not even in the Hidden Pro. They're not even in the hidden section on my

iPhone. They right in the photo library. I know

Jay Aundrea: I'm

Bruce Anthony: what,

Jay Aundrea: in. I did give her down. Do it.

Bruce Anthony: oh, while we laugh, let's hit something semi-serious

Jay Aundrea: Okay.

Bruce Anthony: and we gonna talk about Bad Bunny performing at the Super Bowl. We gonna get into

that Jay Bad Bunny has been officially chosen as the headliner for the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime show a

decision that has sparked both [00:23:00] mix of widespread praise

and heated backlash. Now we could tell everybody what we, we were talking about in the last segment that you posted on your stories.

You wanna describe what it was.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. So it was like an audio of, uh, Trump and talking about how terrible it is that

Bad Bunny Takes Over the Super Bowl 🐰🏈

Jay Aundrea: bad Bunny is going to be the halftime show performer for the Super Bowl. And he said something about he's from the Mexican province of Puerto Rico. And, and yeah, I know it was ai. I know it wasn't real, but it's not like he hasn't said something like this before.

If you remember the last time he was president, he talked about. Meeting with and speaking with the president of the US Virgin Islands and the US is literally in the name of the country. And also I do question whether he or, [00:24:00] and a lot of people on the right also realize that Puerto Rico is a part of the United States.

I don't feel like they know what it is, like they, I, I honestly don't think they understand that Puerto Rico is a US territory. I don't, I, and that he is the president of Puerto Rico.

Bruce Anthony: You know, actually I didn't learn that until probably I was in my twenties, so I can give some people grace. I knew like Guam was a territory because of,

uh, military reasons. And there's a history. I was taking some history course in Guam and I was like, wait a minute. So they're US territory. They're, they're American citizens.

It's like, yeah, Puerto Rico is as well. And there's some other areas like the US Virgin Islands that are territories that

Jay Aundrea: American Samoa.

Bruce Anthony: Like they are, there are others. So I

kind of wanna give people grace the first time around.

Like when he was, when he ran and he was president in 2016 and Puerto [00:25:00] Rico had the hurricane,

and, and that's when it, like, that was in like everybody, it was widespread.

Oh, okay. Puerto Rico was a territory, like it should have been known back then.

That

was seven, eight years ago.

Jay Aundrea: I still don't think he truly grasps the fact that Puerto Rico, I think a lot of people on the right don't really grasp the fact that Puerto Rico is a US territory.

Bruce Anthony: Uh, well, before we get into the, the, the right wing backlash, let's get into some of the praise. Let's, let's praise first.

Jay Aundrea: 'cause it's been all over my socials.

Bruce Anthony: Ah,

Jay Aundrea: am excited.

Bruce Anthony: many in the music industry, sports circles, and in Latino community celebrated the decision. Bad Bunny is not only a three time Grammy winner, but it's also been Spotify's most streamed artists for several of the recent years, and is recognized globally for its impact on modern pop and reggaeton

supporters. Highlight that his headline performance is a landmark achievement for [00:26:00] both Puerto Rico and broader Latino representation as one of the world's most watched live events, rock Nation's, Jay-Z involved in selecting the performer called Bad Bunny's Career, a cultural influence truly inspiring and expressed pride in showcasing him on such a widely viewed stage.

Bad Bunny himself acknowledged the importance of the opportunity during a Saturday Night Live monologue,

calling a moment, a collective win for Latinos, and emphasizing their cultural contributions to the United States.

Many praise the NFL's decision as. Intentionally move towards reaching a younger, more diverse audience, giving, shifting demographics and audience trends. So like, look, this is a good thing.

Jay Aundrea: Yes.

Bruce Anthony: The idea that some people are like, I don't know who this is. Well, okay. Like,

Jay Aundrea: Literally a global icon, like literally globally [00:27:00] iconic. I, I don't know what else. If you don't know

Bruce Anthony: Uh,

Jay Aundrea: know what else to tell you.

Bruce Anthony: I, like,

like, it's like, okay, what's the K-pop group that's really popular?

Jay Aundrea: You asking the wrong

Bruce Anthony: There's a K-pop group. There's one particular that's really popular that we don't know, but that is globally sensation. You if, if you wanna go US citizens, because let us remind you

yet again.

Jay Aundrea: BTS, it's a, it's like 85 guys

Bruce Anthony: It's, it's not 85 guys, but, but

okay. But, okay, so you have them. But if you want to go American citizens who are globally recognized, because once again, I have to emphasize Bad Bunny is an American citizen.

Jay Aundrea: Yes.

Taylor Swift vs Bad Bunny: Global Domination 🌎🎵

Bruce Anthony: It is Taylor Swift, Beyonce, bad Bunny, and no given order. Those are the top three,

uh, for country music seniors. I know [00:28:00] they wanna say what, what about he's globally? No. Or she's globally No. Nationally, yes.

Nationally huge.

But as far as global acts, we got three music entertainers that still active, like still active globally. Beyonce, Taylor Swift and Bad Bunny and ain't no even Taylor and Beyonce ain't hitting the streaming numbers that bad Bunny has been hitting in recent years. Like he is always at the top of the street. He's one of the top artists that has performed now. They wanted Taylor to perform, but it was some negotiation issues. But Bad Bunny is a better call

just because I love, I like bad Bunny's music better anyway.

Jay Aundrea: I can't, uh, and I going to get trashed for this. Thrashed

can't name a single Taylor Swift song. I can't

Bruce Anthony: Hmm. No, I can't. Uh, what have you been seeing on social media as far as the [00:29:00] praise and, and the, the, the happiness that he's been given? The Super Bowl halftime show?

Jay Aundrea: us. Black people. Black people are literally overjoyed and, and I see a lot of Latino content creators that are like, we are overwhelmed by the response from the black community because listen, Latinos really voted against y'all this last election. We weren't doing that. We're not that great right now, like what we did on an election.

So the fact that y'all still rocking with us and like, yeah, but that's just how black people are. Like, this is a win for y'all as a win for us. Like we see that as, uh, uh, we're maybe not one community, but we're, we're linked right through just the [00:30:00] treatment we receive in this country, right? We just have a common oppression.

Like,

Bruce Anthony: And blood.

Jay Aundrea: and blood. And blood, uh, because black people can also be Latino. I don't know why that's, you know, news to anyone. It's actually a whole lot of black Latinos in the Caribbean. Uh, there's a lot of black Latinos in Mexico, south America, central America, we're everywhere. But yeah, like it's, it's been us celebrating and being like, we don't even, we don't know the words, but he better not speak, speak a lick English.

He better not. We're we're literally like, I don't, well we got four months to Duolingo this, you know, that's what we were saying. Back when it was announced, I don't know how many months it is now, now three, I don't know.

This is three months. Was it three how many months to the Super Bowl?

Bruce Anthony: Oh,

Jay Aundrea: October, November,

December, January. Yeah. Four months. [00:31:00] Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So we got four months to good on dual lingo. Get them linked. Get the lyrics and study so that y'all know. 'cause he better than, I don't wanna hear one English word. I want it to be fully en espanol. Please. That would really just make my heart just sore. Yeah.

Bad Bunny's Wrestling Career and Puerto Rico Pride 🤼‍♂️🇵🇷

Bruce Anthony: Uh, bad Bunny has got a song now. Bad Bunny has, done wrestling.

Jay Aundrea: Yes.

Bruce Anthony: he's, he's done wrestling. He's done so much. He's done

SNL, he's done wrestling. Uh, he's a huge supporter of the LGBTQ plus community.

And so when he did wrestling, they did it in, they had a pay-per-view in Puerto Rico and he was the main event. He's wrestling against the wrestling. He actually did really, really well. He's wrestled at WrestleMania. He is done a lot of stuff right.

And they did it [00:32:00] in Puerto Rico. And all I could say is if you wanna see a hyped crowd, watch that YouTube entrance.

Bad bunny in Puerto Rico and that song, I listen to

that song like every other day when I work out. 'cause that song is lit. Even if you don't understand Spanish, if you have any type of rhythm whatsoever.

Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.

Bruce Anthony: Any,

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: okay.

Jay Aundrea: We got, we we getting down like it's, it don't matter. All, all black people need is a beat.

Bruce Anthony: all we need.

Jay Aundrea: all We

need. We don't need anything It doesn't matter the genre. All we need is a beat. If we hear it, we good.

Bruce Anthony: you know how this off topic but kind of on topic, you know how that is absolutely true. If smells like

Teen Spirit comes on, even at a, even at one, at the Blackest Black event, if there's nobody white there, it is just nothing but [00:33:00] black people that are hardcore hip hop listeners.

If smells like Teen Spirit comes on. Everybody is jumping around and, and rocking out to that.

Jay Aundrea: well, you know why Dave Grohl, who was the drummer for Nirvana at the time, that, that the opening to smells like Teen Spirit is just the like the drum kick or whatever from, uh, the GAT band. So we just recognize like, oh, okay.

Bruce Anthony: But it ain't just a kick though. Once that guitar riff comes in too.

Jay Aundrea: yeah. Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: whole thing, but bad bunny back to bad bunny.

Look, this is gonna be cool. Look, Jay-Z people kind of criticize him when they gave him that Super Bowl halftime being like, okay, 'cause we just had this thing a couple of years ago.

They blackballed, Kalan Kaepernick, then they come out with let's end racism in all the end zones for a [00:34:00] couple seasons. And now we got Trump at every big game. Like, which win are you blowing? And Jay-Z, why are you selling out when they not sticking up to Black Lives Matter? Right? When they was

just convenient, they was rocking with it.

But when it's no longer convenient, they turn on it. And Jay-Z has consistently put

culture in the Super Bowl. If it's not Dr. Dre, it's Kendrick Lamar, it's Bad Bunny. It's, it's, it's uh, Shakira and, and J-Lo.

It is culture.

Culture. And they

tried for Taylor Swift. I mean, that's a culture. Two.

I mean, if you like

Jay Aundrea: something I, I honestly can't, I can't comment on it because again, I cannot name a single song.

A single

Bruce Anthony: Okay. And to me is where it's at. All right. She ain't no Kelly

Jay Aundrea: Kelly Clarkson can

Bruce Anthony: Nah.

Jay Aundrea: That's true.

Bruce Anthony: [00:35:00] can sang

Jay-Z's Cultural Impact on the Super Bowl 🎤👑

Jay Aundrea: I said sing.

Bruce Anthony: I thought you said

sing.

Jay Aundrea: she can sing.

Bruce Anthony: she can sang, sang. She just, alright we, let's get back to Bad Bunny. Let's

we we gave the praise.

Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.

Bruce Anthony: Let's talk about the backlash. Okay. So the criticism has been especially fierce from conservative circles and some supporters of Guess who President Trump.

Key points of contention include bad bunny's performances, mainly in Spanish and his outspoken criticism of US immigration policies, including fears around ice presence at big events. What did Bad Bunny say that he wasn't gonna do? He said he wasn't performing any of his tour. He wasn't bringing his tour to the US

because he didn't want ISIS to be sta. I keep, always call it Isis ice, to be out in front of his arenas and his

stadiums.

Jay Aundrea: they're both terrorist organizations,

Bruce Anthony: Hmm, you ain't lying, so [00:36:00] maybe I got it right. Maybe it's a Freudian slip.

He didn't want ice standing out, out front of his performances, snatching

people up,

but it gets worse. For instance, Fox News host, I think her name is Tommy Lauren, that she spells it

way differently. Differently.

She smells it. She smells it like the devil. She looks like the devil. She dismissed him as not an American artist.

Jay Aundrea: Again, again, y'all, I, I'm telling you, I don't believe that the, they really truly understand that Puerto Rico is a US territory and that Trump is also the president of Puerto Rico. Like it, I don't, I They don't know. They don't know. know. They don't know.

I'm positive,

Bruce Anthony: it gets kind of worse.

Speaker Mike Johnson and President Trump labeled the NFL's Choice a [00:37:00] terrible decision and completely absurd and completely absurd, respectively.

Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.

Bruce Anthony: Klump, oh, clump. I didn't mean to say that, but he do look like a clump right now.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. Mm-hmm.

Bruce Anthony: Uh, just a white clump or an

orange one. President Trump claimed I've never heard of him, underscoring a cultural gap and symbolized by the announcement that bad Bunny is going to be performing at the event.

Jay Aundrea: Now that's, here's what's interesting about that. Before you get, because I know you got something to say. Here's what's interesting about that. You've never heard of him, but you are certain that the, it was a terrible decision and completely absurd.

That's all I, I'm just gonna leave that lying there.

Bruce Anthony: I.

Jay Aundrea: let that lay there.

Bruce Anthony: That's absurd. That's absolutely absurd. Here's one that's even more absurd. So Mike Johnson was like, I never heard of him. It seems like they, you know, are not trying to appeal to the mass people. It [00:38:00] seems like morally this person isn't correct. You know, if you wanted to appeal to a mass group of people, why wouldn't you have lean GR Lee Greenwood performing at the Super Bowl?

Who the Hell is Lee Greenwood? 🤔🎸

Jay Aundrea: Who.

Bruce Anthony: That's what I said. I said, who the hell is Lee Greenwood? So me being who I am, what did I do naturally?

Jay Aundrea: Sounds like a Confederate general.

Bruce Anthony: He could have been in the Civil War as old as he is. So what do you think I did when I heard that name?

Jay Aundrea: You looked it

Bruce Anthony: Look, I damn sure went to Google. Lee Greenwood is a singer. Okay, that's cool.

And former member of the National Council on the Arts of the United States.

Okay,

Jay Aundrea: That sounds made up.

Bruce Anthony: Uh, he's in the country music singer

Jay Aundrea: I assume that

Bruce Anthony: and he's 82 years old

Jay Aundrea: now, and don't nobody know who the hell he

  1. If you were born,

Bruce Anthony: types of stuff. Gra gra,

Jay Aundrea: I'm sure he has had a [00:39:00] storied career. Don't know nothing about the man. don't know if it.

Bruce Anthony: a knock on Lee Greenwood.

Jay Aundrea: No, because you know what, uh, uh, a, it's probably over a decade ago, but Johnny Cash, God rest him had come back out like, and was like an octogenarian and had a new album out.

It was great.

Bruce Anthony: Hurt.

Jay Aundrea: Hurt. Yes,

Bruce Anthony: my, one of my favorite songs.

Jay Aundrea: yes. Uh, so I, no, no shade to him. But if you're gonna talk, if you're going to say somebody culturally relevant, then please list somebody culturally relevant. Don't say, why don't they just have dirt Chesterfield do it. Who?

Wow. Oh, Patty Sutton would be a good choice for that. Who

Bruce Anthony: Not

Jay Aundrea: she used to. She used to, she used to perform at the Grand Old Opry. The [00:40:00] what y'all get, y'all piss me off, please don't piss me off. And, and because I saw somebody has, uh, posted a video and this white lady was like, I don't understand. Can't we just have a country music star? Uh, uh ho uh, do the halftime show black woman stitch the video and said the NFL said Nope.

And then she started to, she started to salsa to some bad bunny. And so, I mean, listen, it's, it's gotta be somebody we know, baby. That's got to be somebody we know. Like,

Bruce Anthony: so

I think it's a global star, but let's take America for instance. Country music isn't even the biggest genre. Well it might be the biggest genre of music now.

Jay Aundrea: no. It's always been Pop in America since the eighties. Since the eighties. It's literally

Bruce Anthony: what constitutes,

Jay Aundrea: music.

Bruce Anthony: constitutes pop music now?

Jay Aundrea: Anything popular.

Bruce Anthony: Well, it might be [00:41:00] country, you know, country likes to, likes to bleed in the other genres. Now they got country rap. They got

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: you know.

Jay Aundrea: love Cowboy Carter, just like everybody

Bruce Anthony: No, that's not the country that we're talking about. Okay. So that's.

Jay Aundrea: country music

Bruce Anthony: is, but that's not the country we're talking about.

But anyway, some right-wing, right wing critics have accused the NFL of using the event to provoke political opponents, including the president and MAGA Republicans. So they saying that the NFL who it, you can

go, you can

Jay Aundrea: political power.

Bruce Anthony: the, but the owners donate overwhelmingly to conservative and Republican candidates overwhelmingly, right?

So the money behind the NFL backs, everything the Republican party is, is running for, right,

by and large. But somehow the NFL is trying to provoke

Jay Aundrea: yeah.

Trump and MAGA's Absurd Bad Bunny Backlash 🙄😡

Bruce Anthony: President Trump [00:42:00] and MAGA Republicans by bringing out bad bunny.

Jay Aundrea: This primarily, this primarily black employed organization

like y'all. That's a self-awareness.

Bruce Anthony: I had no self-awareness.

Jay Aundrea: Please. I just, everything they say is so easy to refute that you laugh at it. People don't think you serious, but I'm very serious. This is, y'all need to read more.

This is why they rail against higher education. Even though all of them are Ivy League alumnus. Like, because they know if people read, this is why they didn't want the enslaved black folks to

Bruce Anthony: Mm-hmm. '

Jay Aundrea: cause they know if people

Bruce Anthony: They didn't even want

Jay Aundrea: that

Bruce Anthony: black people to read the Bible.

Jay Aundrea: knowledge is power. They didn't want us reading the Bible 'cause they knew we would be like, Hey wait a minute now some of this don't make no damn sense.

[00:43:00] What you been telling me and what's in here don't make no damn just ain't lining up. So they don't want us reading that for real, for real. But they know once you read, knowledge is power and they don't want y'all reading

Bruce Anthony: No,

Jay Aundrea: what y'all need to read.

Bruce Anthony: and, and they're upset about Spanish speaking entertainer, doing his music

Jay Aundrea: So,

Bruce Anthony: Spanish music. Guess what?

Jay Aundrea: so.

Bruce Anthony: I got a little history lesson. For every US United States of America, citizenship

citizen Spanish has been the language spoken on these lands that have been United States of America for the longest amount of time.

Going back to the 15th and 16th centuries. Yes.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah, yeah.

Bruce Anthony: When we overthrew, when the French and Indian War was won by the colonies

Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.

Bruce Anthony: and then we overthrew the crown, [00:44:00] right?

English became a version of English. Okay? Because we don't speak the queen's English either

a.

Jay Aundrea: we perfected it.

Bruce Anthony: Oh, okay.

A version of English became the predominant language, but guess what? There is still 43 million Americans and growing that speak Spanish primarily.

Okay? There are other languages that are speaking Spanish, and, and I know a lot of people are gonna say, what about Trump's executive order labeling English as the official language? Eh? Well,

yeah, he did that. Okay. However, his executive order does not give him absolute authority. A law passed by Congress is what you really need. And they haven't passed any law to make English the official language. 'cause every time they bring it up, it never passes. There is no official [00:45:00] language in the United States. So

when you say speak American, I don't know what American you're talking about.

Because there is no official language for the ye United States of America and no

executive order can deem it to be so.

Jay Aundrea: I mean, listen, y'all favorite girl, Christopher Columbus

was sent over here, was sent over here By whom? The Spanish on a boat called Maria.

Bruce Anthony: And

he was an Italian. It was an Italian. It was an Italian.

sent

Jay Aundrea: Yes. We all learn about the, the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria. We all learned about that. Which y'all fa, you know, uh, genocidal maniac. Christopher Christopher Columbus, which, how many [00:46:00] Italians do you know named Christopher Columbus. Let's be real.

There's like,

Bruce Anthony: That's what he

Jay Aundrea: yeah, but his name wasn't no damn Christopher Columbus.

Bruce Anthony: I,

Jay Aundrea: he was Italian

Spanish: America's Longest Spoken Language 🗣️📜

Jay Aundrea: from Italy.

Bruce Anthony: well, there might have, Christopher is a, is a, is a Christian name.

Jay Aundrea: That man's name wasn't no damn Christopher Columbus, but y'all girl, like it was the Spanish to send him over here. So what?

Y'all are ridiculous. Being strong and wrong outta outta Los Angeles or being, being strong and wrong out of San Francisco. Being strong and wrong, living in New Mexico, y'all be strong and wrong at the t at the, I was gonna say Taco Bell, but that's American. Y'all be strong and wrong with a burrito. You love the culture.

You love to [00:47:00] commodify the people. You think you can do that while simultaneously not loving the people? You can't. We see through it. Period. Sorry, I, I had to say that. 'cause y'all, y'all, y'all, again, the, the arguments are so dumb 'cause y'all don't read that. It's so easy to refute. Not to mention, say, just say that Benito is not American.

Neither is Rihanna. She's from Barbados. Shakira is from Columbia.

Bruce Anthony: Yeah, I know

Jay Aundrea: The weekend Canada.

Bruce Anthony: Yeah.

Jay Aundrea: You also got you too. Paul McCartney, Coldplay Sting, Shania Twain, also Canadian, the Rolling Stones. Phil, you [00:48:00] got a whole host of non-American artists who have performed in the Super Bowl halftime

Bruce Anthony: Well, actually, now that I think about that, now that's might be the reason why they're mad. It was like, can't we get an American? You did. You have Bad

Bunny?

Jay Aundrea: did

Bruce Anthony: You got Bad Bunny. He's an

Jay Aundrea: last year. You had Kendrick Lamar. Nobody's more California than Kendrick Lamar. And, and then this year you got Bad Bunny. You've got two American artists, boom, boom. Right at one right after the other.

You're welcome. But they're not the American that Pete Sef wants to see reflected in our military, right?

They're not the American that is acceptable to these conservatives, these right wing conservatives. What they want is white, cisgender, old ass. What was his name?

Bruce Anthony: Lee Greenwood.

Jay Aundrea: [00:49:00] Lee Greenwood.

Bruce Anthony: Lee Greenwood. We ain't knocking you. We not

Jay Aundrea: Lee. Lee.

Bruce Anthony: about you.

Jay Aundrea: I never in my life, that's why I can't really say anything about them. Lee Greenwood might be bumping. I don't know.

Okay. I

Bruce Anthony: don't know. I don't know.

Jay Aundrea: I might check them out after the

show. I don't know,

Bruce Anthony: I

Jay Aundrea: because I just wanna be able, like, let me at least see,

'cause it, it might be, you know, it might be sample worthy,

Bruce Anthony: But actually. That's the difference. That's the difference of people who are accepting

Jay Aundrea: mm-hmm.

Bruce Anthony: and people who aren't.

Jay Aundrea: Y'all might see me on this show next week talking about, yo, if y'all ain't heard Lee Greenwood, you're missing out. Like you don't know. I don't know. So I can't say nothing about that man, but the fact that I don't know who the hell that is, and I wouldn't say I got my finger on the pulse of like pop culture, but damn, I'm not living [00:50:00] under a rock.

I don't know who that is.

Bruce Anthony: I don't know. I mean, he is also 82 years old, so I don't know a lot of artists that are 82 years old,

Jay Aundrea: I don't know a lot of people that are 82 years old. That is amazing. For an American,

Bruce Anthony: yeah, yeah.

It'd be funny if Lee Greenwood Wedding American, but he is, I think,

actually didn't do the research on that. He

Jay Aundrea: You know what,

Bruce Anthony: be.

Jay Aundrea: and, and it's funny, I think I said his name so much. All I did was type Lee into Google and the first one that popped up and it, this old man, he looked good. If this is him,

Bruce Anthony: Hey,

Jay Aundrea: he,

Bruce Anthony: hey, 82. Hey, look, won a couple of Grammys. I'm not knocking it, but the, the, the idea that Lee Greenwood would appeal to more people than bad Bunny is the only argument I'm making is like, huh?

Jay Aundrea: right. Okay. Okay. So one of his big songs is [00:51:00] 84. God bless, God Bless the USA. Okay. No, I was thinking of God Bless America. So, no, I don't know who Lee Greenwood is. I thought that, I thought, I thought I

might, but I don't.

Bruce Anthony: I know that.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah, I

Bruce Anthony: But we ain't knocking you Lee Greenwood. But what we are excited about is Bad Bunny and I'm gonna be out there look saying words that I don't even know the meaning

to and just mouthing. I'm gonna be a, a beat behind 'cause I

want to say the words that he's saying,

Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.

Bruce Anthony: know the words or the lyrics.

Jay Aundrea: I'm

trying to read the closed

Bruce Anthony: right? Yep. Yep.

Jay Aundrea: that I can Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: I might hurt my knee. I might hurt my knee jumping around. 'cause bad Bunny's music will get you hyped. That is

Jay Aundrea: Yes, it, listen, if you need good workout music, bad Bunny. Is it?

Bruce Anthony: Bad bunny. Is it?

[00:52:00]

Bruce Anthony: All right, Jay. I know we typically reserve this for the YouTube exclusives, but this one was kind of good and as somebody who has owned businesses and has has gotten online reviews that have been good and bad, personally, I felt like this story, it was a personal story for me.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: Okay, so I'm just gonna read the headline. For those of you who don't watch our YouTube exclusives, which by the way, why are you not watching the YouTube exclusives like

you do, realize that that's original content that is not clipped from anything that you hear on the audio version.

That's specifically only for YouTube.

You can get it only on YouTube, except if I do a special sneak peek on the audio version, which doesn't happen that often.

There are hours and hours of content that is strictly on YouTube only.

Jay Aundrea: And, And, I'd be going off in the YouTube exclusives.

Bruce Anthony: [00:53:00] YouTube exclusives. Look, the YouTube exclusives is almost an after hours uncensored almost.

almost,

Jay Aundrea: as much,

Bruce Anthony: much. yeah.

Like I, if y'all not, if y'all and, and don't, and I trip sometimes because I look at the audio streams and I look at the streams on YouTube. And YouTube, the views take a little while to catch up.

And also sometimes people are just like, it's so much on YouTube. Like I can't,

I can't keep up.

Like I gotta wait and binge everything. And I'm like, okay, I get

that. So we've been decreasing as much as we've been putting on YouTube, but still a lot of original content,

a lot less clips that you would al always hear on audio or video. But y'all so much stuff on our YouTube page and I see the numbers and I'm like, our YouTube numbers is cool. Them audio streams is crazy.

And that means y'all not getting the full weight of

unsolicited Perspectives Network.

'cause you [00:54:00] ain't checking out what we got on YouTube. If you think you don't have YouTube, if you got a Gmail account,

you got YouTube.

Bruce Anthony: Or Yahoo,

Jay Aundrea: or Yahoo, please knock it off. Tighten up.

Bruce Anthony: get you a Google.

Get you a Google.

Am I the Jerk: Fake Restaurant Reviews Exposed 🍽️⭐

Bruce Anthony: Alright, this am I a jerk?

The title is, am I a Jerk for Telling my Husband to stop making fake reviews for our local restaurants? Now Jay, when I just read the title, what do you think?

Jay Aundrea: No, your husband sounds like a jerk. It depends on what the reviews are. But why would you, he don't have nothing to do. I bet you there's dishes in the sink. I bet you there's dishes in the sink.

Bruce Anthony: There's, there's trash that need to be taken

Jay Aundrea: There's trash that go. The lawn need to be mowed. He could build you [00:55:00] a new deck. He don't

Bruce Anthony: No,

Jay Aundrea: to do.

Bruce Anthony: I ain't been a whole, no.

Jay Aundrea: Nah, y'all, no. If y'all want women to go back to how they had to be in the past, y'all go back and be how you was in the past and build me a house. I seen the, what is it? The, uh, the what is the people versus loving or whatever.

That man built her. He put some center blocks on the ground and said, this gonna be your house. And his show was a house where he was done. Okay.

Bruce Anthony: Nah,

Jay Aundrea: do that, I cook and clean.

Bruce Anthony: nah, I need professional builders to build my home. That's just how I feel about the situation.

Jay Aundrea: Shoot.

Bruce Anthony: All right. So here's the Reddit post. My husband, a 33-year-old male, has an odd hobby of writing fake restaurant reviews. He doesn't get paid or anything, he just finds it fun. He'll visit a local spot with me, take pictures of the food, and then later write a dramatic review online under a fake name. Sometimes he raves about the place like it's Michelin level, [00:56:00] and other times he pretends to be an angry customer and complains about raw chicken or a root server, even though none of it actually happened. At first I thought it was harmless. I even laughed at some of the over, over the top ones he wrote.

But last week, a small Korean restaurant we both loved. I had to close temporarily after health inspector showed up, apparently tipped off by multiple complaints about food safety. My husband swears it wasn't his review that did it, but he had written one saying his wife got food poisoning After eating there, I didn't. I was fine. I was also furious. The owners are sweet, elderly couple who worked so hard to build that place up. I told my husband it wasn't funny anymore and that he needed to stop posting lies. He got defensive and said I was overreacting and that everyone knows online reviews are fake anyway.

Now we're not speaking much. I'm still angry and he still thinks I'm being uptight and making a big deal outta nothing. I don't think I'm being unreasonable. I [00:57:00] think I'm, I think making a fake bad reviews that can hurt someone's business is actually a jerk move, but maybe I'm missing something.

When Fake Reviews Destroy Real Businesses 💔📱

Bruce Anthony: So am I the jerk for calling him out and telling him to stop.

Jay Aundrea: no, and I guarantee that there's some laundry that needs to be folded. Like, don't, please don't piss me off. Like, honestly,

sir,

Bruce Anthony: to be folded always.

Jay Aundrea: he, he got one foot into catfishing people like this is, there are people who like, who, who can't not lie like this or like scam people or create fake accounts or, or write fake reviews, obviously like.

This is, this is not a normal thing to do, especially to like honestly dedicate this much of his energy to it. It's not normal. It's not a, it's not a normal hobby. It's not a cool hobby either. [00:58:00] It would be one thing if you go and you're just raving about a place, right? But to create a fake bad review that could potentially impact somebody's, somebody's financial life, right?

That their business, you know, how much people put into these, especially restaurants, how much money, if y'all ever seen what is a restaurant Impossible or whatever the, whatever those shows in where they go in and try to save a failing restaurant. People have doubled and triple mortgaged their homes.

Like people have put a lot into.

Like a dream and for you to go online and take a shit on it for no reason,

Bruce Anthony: But to be funny.

Jay Aundrea: uh, but to amuse only yourself because who else are you amusing with This, honestly, you're doing it. It is only for

Bruce Anthony: [00:59:00] Mm-hmm.

Jay Aundrea: following you on Yelp. Like nobody's doing that. And I, I, and you know what it is.

So I never understood that kind of humor like, like attacking somebody. Kind of hu how is that funny? It's not funny. It's not funny. You're not being uptight, you're not being unreasonable. You're being a human being with some compassion and empathy and it's super, super weird that your husband does not have empathy.

For the people that he could be hurting with these fake reviews. Girl, look, what you need to do is look up reviews for your local attorneys and have them draft up some papers so you can move on with your life. You'all 33. Y'all young. You young, you [01:00:00] got your whole life ahead. Don't spend it with somebody with this weird ass hobby who is not empathetic in the least like, or compassionate in the least.

No, no, you, this is a bigger problem than you think it is.

Bruce Anthony: It's a bigger problem because in the black community we have this thing called putting a hundred on 10.

It's an embellishment of the truth.

Right. Like it's still based in truth.

It

Jay Aundrea: Right.

Bruce Anthony: I was walking down the street the other day and the true story is I stripped over. I tripped over a crack in the sidewalk, on, fell in the grass.

Right?

Jay Aundrea: ain't how I'm gonna tell it.

Bruce Anthony: That's not how I'm gonna tell it.

I was walking down the street the, go ahead. Tell your story, because I know it's gonna be funnier than mine,

Jay Aundrea: y'all, I was walking down the street. Wow. I almost bust my ass like, it's y'all. When I tell you I was falling for 20 minutes, I, it, it's gonna be, it's gonna be a whole, obviously I just tripped,

Bruce Anthony: right? Mine would

be.

Jay Aundrea: fell, [01:01:00] maybe I didn't.

Bruce Anthony: Mine would be, man, I was crossing the street and this car was coming around the corner real fast. I'm like, man, what the hell is you doing? Right? And so I jumped up on the sidewalk and I'm yelling at the car. He yelling back at me, talking about move out the way. I'm like, man, I got the right of way.

What the hell you doing? And as I turned, this woman was walking her dog and she was yelling at me, yelling at me, yelling at the man saying that I was in the wrong. And I said, you need to mind your business. As we talking back and forth, I'm backing up because, you know, I'm not trying to get into an altercation.

And as I was backing up, I tripped and fell in the grass on some dog shit.

Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.

Bruce Anthony: said, you know what, Lord? This just ain't my day.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: The,

Jay Aundrea: home.

Bruce Anthony: the true story is just tripped on the sidewalk,

but that's putting a hundred on 10.

Jay Aundrea: Yes.

Bruce Anthony: my man is doing is not putting a hundred on 10. That's not what he's doing.

Jay Aundrea: Uh, uh, for our, for our, uh, uh, non-colored audience, it's making a mountain out of a mole hill.

Bruce Anthony: There you go. There you

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

[01:02:00] Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: covering all the bases here is culturally

Jay Aundrea: Covering all the bases.

Bruce Anthony: he's, he's, as you said, doing something. He's making up stories to amuse himself, but

hurting other people and not taking accountability for it.

Jay Aundrea: None. Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: Saying that nobody pays attention to online reviews. I do. Whenever

I order something on Amazon and I'm like, oh, this is kind of pricey.

Let me look at the reviews. I always scale two things. One most recent,

I'm looking through all the most recent, and then I'm going to all the bad reviews.

'cause I want to see if they're crazy or if they have a point,

if all of them have a uniform theme to it to buy reviews. I'm like, oh, this is something I need to look out for.

Jay Aundrea: But I also need to know what is bad. Is it the seller or the product? Right? So if the product is fine, but you had issues with the seller, okay, I'm probably still gonna buy it

and pray. I don't have issues with the seller. [01:03:00]

Bruce Anthony: Like pray. Pray this person and, and it speaks to a larger issue. Like you said, this person is sitting up here making up stories to entertain himself. How far does that imagination go? How far does that lying go? When do you get to this is, we talked about it before. When do you stop looking at people and what they do to others

Jay Aundrea: Right?

Bruce Anthony: that it is not me.

It's how, what they do to others before they actually do it to you.

Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.

Bruce Anthony: And if this is an issue where it caused harm, maybe it did, maybe it didn't, but it said they got food poisoning. Odds are, if they had to close, it was more than just one complaint.

So I am gonna give that dude a bit of a doubt, but

Jay Aundrea: And, and,

Bruce Anthony: have led the charge.

Jay Aundrea: and also they had to close. It wasn't like

Bruce Anthony: Right, right.

Jay Aundrea: they, the health inspector came

and actually nothing was

wrong. [01:04:00] And, and, and they were fine. They had to close,

Bruce Anthony: He had to close.

Jay Aundrea: things.

Yeah. So

Bruce Anthony: here nor there.

Jay Aundrea: not neither here nor

Bruce Anthony: Yeah.

That's neither here nor there. It's about

how it could potentially harm. People can read these reviews like, I'm not going there, and they can lose out on business because you wanted to make a bad review,

Jay Aundrea: Right.

Bruce Anthony: which was a fake

review.

And I've had situations, you know, when I had the wrestling company and I've had tutoring companies and, and I was doing my own thing with personal training before I was hired with the company I'm at right now. People would give reviews or certain like that, and I'm like, that's a, that's a damn lie what you just said. What you just said is a lie and you're damaging my name and you lucky that I don't come out. Myself

and smack you up and down the street because you lying on my reputation. Like that's some serious stuff

that you doing when you lying on somebody's

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. [01:05:00]

Bruce Anthony: for fun, for shits and giggles. That is only for you

because even your wife is like, sometimes I laugh, but most of the time I just thought it was stupid.

Jay Aundrea: yeah. Yeah. I think she should write a review of him and put it online and make up some stuff and see how he likes it.

Bruce Anthony: It is the no accountability. You know,

it's, it's that, oh, does it hurt? Everything is j Dave Chappel says it all the time. Everything is funny until it happens to you,

right? Everything is funny until it happens to you. So you think it's funny. Let somebody, let's let somebody go to your place of employment and write a fake review on how you interacted with them and see how that costs you your job.

Then you wouldn't think it's so funny. Then you

Jay Aundrea: yeah.

Bruce Anthony: with it.

Jay Aundrea: Honestly, just show him the Reddit post and the comments and then he'll see, oh, dang. It really hurts when people online say crap about you.

Bruce Anthony: Maybe, maybe [01:06:00] not.

The Bigger Issue: Lack of Empathy and Accountability 🚩⚠️

Jay Aundrea: Maybe,

I don't know. But I think that's a, I think it's a bigger issue that he doesn't see the ways in which he could. Potentially be harmful. I think that's a bigger issue.

And yes, it's, it's only a matter of time before somebody like that. Nobody is the exception. We'd all the rules. So it is, no, you're not just 'cause you're his wife doesn't mean that you, there are probably been subtle ways in which he has done this to you

Bruce Anthony: Mm-hmm.

Jay Aundrea: or to your family members or your friends or, you know, just talking to you, throwing shade about, well, you know, your friend said this to me and that probably ain't never even happened.

Bruce Anthony: He might, he might have

Jay Aundrea: had a

Bruce Anthony: friendships you might want to examine.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. Everything he's ever told you

Bruce Anthony: Yep.

Jay Aundrea: then make a TikTok series out of it so we can all watch

Bruce Anthony: Please do that.

Please do that. 'cause I'll watch it. I bet that would

be great.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: whatever happened to re teesa you? You [01:07:00] know what

Jay Aundrea: She got a, she got, she got a, uh, a next Netflix deal. I think there's gonna be a movie coming out.

Bruce Anthony: about her? Just well, okay. About

her

situation.

Jay Aundrea: the whole drama of everything.

Bruce Anthony: sign off on that though.

Jay Aundrea: No, he doesn't.

Bruce Anthony: Yeah, no. When you put other people in your life story, they gotta sign off on that.

Jay Aundrea: that changed his name.

Bruce Anthony: Uh, okay.

I don't know what the legalities of that, but Netflix will figure it out. On that note, Jay, what

do you wanna tell the people out here

Jay Aundrea: Read

Bruce Anthony: Reading is fundamental

Final Thoughts: Reading is Fundamental 📖💪

Jay Aundrea: it is fundamentally y'all, and knowledge is power and you get that by reading, read,

especially when I'm sending you an email and it's marked important.

Bruce Anthony: Okay, we, we in the main show, not after hours, so you gotta be careful right now.

You gotta,

Jay Aundrea: I, said what I said.

Bruce Anthony: okay. Alright. Hey look, check it out y'all. It don't necessarily have to be a book. [01:08:00] You could just read articles every day.

Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.

Bruce Anthony: You can even be inspired by somebody's social media posts causing you to think about one particular topic and then go do some research on it.

That's how I learned about the Lavender Scare that we

just talked about. Last episode

doesn't take much. Something sparks your interest. Don't take what the poster saying's word for it. Hell don't even take even our word for it. Now, we did the

research before we came on here, so

you can pretty much take our word for it, but still do your own research.

Don't bake

on everything that we say as gospel. 'cause I ain't right all the time because 99. 0.7% of the time, but not all the time

Jay Aundrea: At any rate,

Bruce Anthony: reading. I liked it. That was good.
