About The Guest(s):
Bruce Anthony is the host of the Unsolicited Perspectives Podcast, known for his sharp cultural commentary, humor, political insight, and authentic conversations about modern life, relationships, and society.
J. Aundrea, his sister, joins him for the Sibling Happy Hour segment. She brings grounded insight, emotional intelligence, and comedic timing as the two dissect trending topics, social issues, and relationship dilemmas with a mix of levity and depth.
Key Takeaways:
1. Dating Deception & Material Misrepresentation
• Hiding major life details—like disability or personal history—is a form of deception that impacts trust and communication.
• Misrepresentation, even of seemingly small things (wigs, contacts, height), can create harm if it affects expectations or the logistics of dating.
2. Relationship Transparency Matters
• Disclosure of major identity or life changes (e.g., transitioning, disability, past trauma) is essential when entering an intimate partnership.
• Relationships require openness—“intimacy is personal,” and you cannot build a partnership while withholding critical information.
3. Grief, Past Relationships & Emotional Readiness
• Grieving a deceased partner isn’t a red flag—hiding it is.
• Partners must communicate about emotional readiness rather than assuming jealousy or insecurity will resolve itself.
4. Dating Standards & Personal Growth
• People should date widely in their 20s to learn preferences, understand compatibility, and avoid the illusion that “the grass is greener.”
• Long-term relationship experience shapes emotional maturity; dating someone without that experience can create imbalance.
5. The Epstein Files & Government Transparency
• Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act with overwhelming bipartisan support (427–1).
• Legal barriers—including active investigations and ongoing appeals—prevented the files from being released during the Biden administration.
• Many believe “He in them files,” including Donald Trump and multiple political figures, and the public is demanding truth.
• There is growing public skepticism that accountability will follow, given America’s history of protecting powerful men.
6. Gender, Power & Accountability
• The U.S. political system often protects men accused of sexual assault and abuse.
• Even Trump’s allies (e.g., Marjorie Taylor Greene) are beginning to question his motives and broken promises.
7. Gift-Giving, Income Differences & Respect
• The Reddit relationship story highlights deeper issues: insecurity, communication breakdown, and disrespect.
• She wasn’t upset about “dupe perfume”—she was upset about his reaction, insults, and defensiveness.
• If something matters to your partner, it should matter to you. Minimizing their preferences is minimizing them.
8. Don’t Date Out of Your Budget
• Dating someone with different financial habits or expectations requires honesty—not resentment.
• If luxury items aren’t affordable, choose thoughtful alternatives rather than cheap imitations.
Quotes:
Bruce Anthony:
• “If I meet you online and you ain’t tell me you was in a wheelchair with no legs, I’m walking straight out that restaurant.”
• “If I’m not the number one overall draft pick, I don’t want you.”
• “People give up too easily. Have the conversation.”
• “Stop dating out your budget.”
• “Anybody who minimizes something that’s important to you doesn’t respect you.”
• “That’s why I’m single—because if I’m not the franchise player, I’m out.”
J. Aundrea:
• “This is a material misrepresentation — I need to know if you're a wheelchair user.”
• “Intimacy is personal. You can’t tell your partner, ‘Get out my business’ when we’re trying to build a life.”
• “Who are you in competition with? A memory.”
• “You’re not ready for a relationship if you’re still this deep in mourning.”
• “Men really love to throw that ‘single at 31’ thing out there — but women are NOT the lonely ones.”
• “It’s the thought that counts — and if there is no thought, that sh*t don’t count.”

Sibling Happy Hour: Sips, Laughs & Sibling Shenanigans 🍹😂
Bruce Anthony: is the sibling happy hour. I'm here with my sis Jay, Andrea. We're gonna be dilly ding a little bit. Then we're gonna be talking about the Epstein files. Then we're gonna be talking about an O.
Are you overreacting Reddit [00:01:00] post about gifts. But that's enough of the intro. Let's get to the show.
Bruce Anthony: What up sis?
Jay Aundrea: What up, brother?
Bruce Anthony: I can't call it. I can't call it. A lot of crazy things happening in the world today.
Jay Aundrea: Hmm?
Bruce Anthony: And before we get to serious stuff, 'cause I've been dealing with serious stuff on Tuesdays, the last few interviews have been really heavy.
Jay Aundrea: Yeah.
Bruce Anthony: happy hours meant to create some levity, but I also want to give you an opportunity to, you know, speak your truth.
You know the truth to power, your power, the truth, whatever it is.
Jay Aundrea: Right. Both of the thanks.
Bruce Anthony: of them things.
Jay Aundrea: Both of the Thanks.
Bruce Anthony: And before we get to the Epstein files, a couple of things came, came across my social media feed that, uh, I wanted to talk about.
Jay Aundrea: Okay.
Bruce Anthony: The first one [00:02:00] is it was a post of a man and a woman meeting for the first time in a long distance relationship,
Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.
Bruce Anthony: right?
The first ever meeting. All they had ever done is talk on the phone, text messages, you know, video chat, all that stuff. This is the first time meeting,
Jay Aundrea: Yeah.
Bruce Anthony: and when they meet each other, the online boyfriend finds out that she's in a wheelchair and has no legs.
Jay Aundrea: Okay. I mean, it it, like looked at it, I, she actually is not a wheelchair user and she does have legs, so it was just like a stunt, I'm, but you know what this
The Wheelchair Catfish: When Dating Gets Deceptive 🦽😳💔
Jay Aundrea: is, this is
Bruce Anthony: Mm-hmm.
Jay Aundrea: like you leave out something material. There is a material misrepresentation, like [00:03:00] sometimes, like certain things I feel like are not a material misrepresentation, wearing a wig or like,
Bruce Anthony: Well, wearing a wig if you baldheaded. Yes. That is a misrepresentation.
Jay Aundrea: okay. But like, you know, color contacts, like, you
Bruce Anthony: that is a misrepresentation as well.
Jay Aundrea: don't feel like that's material you're, if you are misrepresenting yourself to the point where like, or for something that like will impact me. Like, you not saying that you're a wheelchair user and differently abled.
Like, I ha like there are things I have to do to like accommodate, right? That's something I need to know.
Bruce Anthony: Yeah. No. Well, I als
Jay Aundrea: with it, but that's something I need to know.
Bruce Anthony: I also need to know if you baldheaded, like I do need to know, and I do need to know if [00:04:00] you came with color context. And then one day I see you with brown eyes and I'm like, wait a minute. What happened to your eyes? To me, it's all a lie. To me it's, to me it's a same, yes. To me it's all a lie
Jay Aundrea: re
Bruce Anthony: because me personally, personally when I used to do online dating, I haven't done online dating to God.
It has to be like five years during the pandemic. But everybody was doing their thing 'cause we couldn't go outside.
Jay Aundrea: Right?
Bruce Anthony: There was a lot of women that misrepresented their body types
Jay Aundrea: Yeah.
Bruce Anthony: and
Jay Aundrea: Y'all.
Bruce Anthony: Okay.
Jay Aundrea: too?
Bruce Anthony: Uh, I probably dudes on there be lying about that height.
Jay Aundrea: Yes.
Bruce Anthony: yes, yes. Uh, women don't be,
Jay Aundrea: you ain't five 10,
Bruce Anthony: and five 10 ain't even women like six foot. Why would you even lie if you go be five 10? You know, you not five 10.
Jay Aundrea: But yeah, [00:05:00] so no.
Bruce Anthony: I thought it was funny 'cause of his face. His face, he was not amused. And if the situation was real, I wouldn't be amused either.
Jay Aundrea: no, because that's something that I needed to know that I needed to, I do in, in a certain, to a certain extent, have to like, plan around it.
Bruce Anthony: Mm-hmm.
Jay Aundrea: I gotta make sure that we go to accessible places. I have to make sure that I use the right language when talking to you and describing things or thi like, there are things
Bruce Anthony: Well, what language are you using behind the back?
Jay Aundrea: well, I mean like, you have to, it's just like with people's pronouns,
Bruce Anthony: Mm-hmm.
Jay Aundrea: you have to make sure you have the conversation of like, okay, what terminology do you feel comfortable with? You know, when I describe you,
Bruce Anthony: Mm.
Jay Aundrea: Like what, you know, so like, it is the same thing. Like this is, these are [00:06:00] conversations that have to happen.
Bruce Anthony: You know what I.
Jay Aundrea: can't just spring that on someone.
Bruce Anthony: You know what I think is material whenever you do your dating thing
Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.
Bruce Anthony: that you let them know how much you used the word like, 'cause you have used it 475 times within this first five minutes.
Jay Aundrea: Because I'm trying to form my thoughts, because I'm gonna be honest, ladies and gentlemen, he, she, they them, I did not read the rundown before we started. I am. I'm in this cold
Bruce Anthony: Winging it.
Jay Aundrea: like,
Bruce Anthony: Just wing it.
Jay Aundrea: so you gonna get some likes and ums from me. You'll be all right. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying?
Trans Disclosure Debate: What's Too Personal to Hide? 🏳️⚧️💬🔥
Bruce Anthony: Alright, this is, this is an interesting one. This is not a topic that we, that was even on the rundown, but we're gonna go here.
Jay Aundrea: Yeah.
Bruce Anthony: Is it material for somebody who's transitioned to let you know they transitioned?
Jay Aundrea: [00:07:00] Yes.
Bruce Anthony: See, I would agree, but then some people would argue that's personal.
Jay Aundrea: A relationship is personal intimacy is personal connection, companionship, all of these things are personal. You can't tell your partner, Hey, get outta my business. That's my private business. Like, what are you talking about? We are trying to build a relationship, potentially to share a life, and I gotta get out your business.
Like what?
Bruce Anthony: Right,
Jay Aundrea: sense.
Bruce Anthony: Because anybody dating Elliot page right now
Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.
Bruce Anthony: didn't you used to be Ellen Page from Juno?
Jay Aundrea: Yeah.
Bruce Anthony: Yes. That's something that you would have to disclose, but if they're not, somebody known it didn't. You used to be, uh, Bruce Jenner. I used to be. Now I'm Kaitlyn Jenner, or
Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.
Bruce Anthony: I don't, I don't know if they are still Kaitlyn Jenner.
I don't know what's going on with Kaitlyn Jenner. They done. They, they in a weird space right now [00:08:00] anyway.
Jay Aundrea: Oh, okay.
Bruce Anthony: They, I
Jay Aundrea: in any way, shape or form been keeping up because I do not
Bruce Anthony: not a proponent for
Jay Aundrea: pol their policy
Bruce Anthony: not a proponent for trans people, which is okay.
Jay Aundrea: Very, very deeply strange. And it's also like, it feels classist, right? Like, I'm rich, I can do what I want, but I don't really lie. I don't really wanna put forth policies that would help or support our trans community healthcare or employment, housing, things like that. That's deeply strange.
Bruce Anthony: It's weird. You know what else is weird or different? Unique.
Jay Aundrea: Hmm.
Following Your Partner to a Grave: Love or Red Flag? ⚰️💔😰
Bruce Anthony: What would you do
Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.
Bruce Anthony: are, if you were following your significant other because you thought something was up.
Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.
Bruce Anthony: And then following your significant other, you went to a [00:09:00] grave site
Jay Aundrea: Okay.
Bruce Anthony: grave site, your significant other had a full spread picnic and crying hysterically, and you found out that that grave site is the site of their former partner.
Jay Aundrea: Yeah. I don't need to be in that relationship, but not because of that, it's because I clearly have no trust in my partner. But that's, but that's, but if, if I did learn of it right, learn of it later, I mean, it, it honestly, it doesn't have anything to do with me, to, to end a relationship for, you know, a myriad of reasons.
That's okay. But for a relationship to end and someone passing away, that's a really different situation. And you [00:10:00] can't expect everyone to grieve the same, to process that the same, but that person and, yeah, I, I guess. would create some insecurity in you, right? Of like, okay, well if, if your partner was still alive, we probably wouldn't be together.
I mean, that's probably the case, right? That might be the case. We don't know. You don't know, but at this point, that person has chosen you. But to, it looks like this person went from the video. They, they kicked her out of his
Bruce Anthony: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Kicked her outta the house. Well, part of the reason why he kicked her outta the house is because, and part of the reason why he was following her is because he felt that she was being shady.
Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.
Bruce Anthony: coming to find out she was at the grave site crying over a past lover.
Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.
Bruce Anthony: I think he has a legitimate issue with the fact of why would you hide something like this from me if we're in a [00:11:00] relationship?
Jay Aundrea: Yeah.
Bruce Anthony: said it's personal, right? If we're in a relationship, yo, that's something you gotta talk to me. If you lost somebody and they've passed and you're mourning that death, cool, like that won't be a problem. You keeping it a secret from me. Leads me to believe, then yeah, maybe I am not the first option, and if I'm not, first of all, for me personally, if I'm not the number one overall draft pick, I'm not talking about a first round pick.
I'm not talking about a lottery. I'm not talking about top five. If I'm not the number one overall first round pick franchise player, I don't. I don't want you. So get out my life. I tell every woman that, as a matter of fact, that might be the reason why I'm technically single, but.
Jay Aundrea: your single, yeah. So, uh, well, here's the thing. It's, again, it's, it's kind of one of those things of like, how do you bring that up, you
Bruce Anthony: I feel like it should be brought up as you are as you're meeting. [00:12:00] Look in every situation where I start out dating somebody, we talk about past relationships. That's how you get to know somebody. I wanted to know what you've been through. No. I wanna know what you've been through. I wanna know why y'all broke up.
I wanna know what demons you have and
Jay Aundrea: that.
Bruce Anthony: mm-hmm. No, I wanna, I wanna know what demons you have and have you addressed them
Jay Aundrea: Well, I mean, that is about me as a person, but like discussing past relationships, I think that's a slippery slope. I do not think you should do that when you first start dating someone.
Bruce Anthony: well, like
Jay Aundrea: think you should dredge that. I mean, it is kind of like that, you know, what's your, body count type of
Bruce Anthony: that's a completely different question.
Jay Aundrea: no, I just don't, I past relationships,
Bruce Anthony: I.
Jay Aundrea: don't have nothing to do with you.
Competing With a Memory: The Toughest Rival 👻💍😢
Jay Aundrea: And that relationship has passed.
Bruce Anthony: No,
Jay Aundrea: you know, trying to be as tactful as I can. Her ex passed away. Who are you in competition with a memory[00:13:00]
Bruce Anthony: which is the toughest competition that you can have.
Jay Aundrea: if she felt like she wasn't ready for a relationship. That's a conversation.
Bruce Anthony: See, and this is where we disagree.
Jay Aundrea: Because No, 'cause if I discover that, okay, I, you're in mourning for someone that you used to be in a relationship with, is not my second choice. The conversation is, are you ready for a new relationship?
If you are still this deeply in mourning.
Bruce Anthony: I think both things can be true. I think both of those things can be true at the same time.
Jay Aundrea: But I mean, it's kind of like, uh, what's that movie Tom Hanks? He was. On the Castaway. Right. was gone.
Bruce Anthony: Yeah. No.
Jay Aundrea: thought she had, thought he had passed away. Next thing you know, he [00:14:00] knocking on the door delivering a package. Well, she's remarried.
Bruce Anthony: Yeah. No. He had to let that go. She moved on.
Jay Aundrea: No, they, she ran back out into the rain after him.
Bruce Anthony: I, I think she gave him a hug. I don't think she, I don't think they got together.
Jay Aundrea: I
Bruce Anthony: No. Well, they did a cutaway. They did a cutaway on Castaway. Yeah, they did a cutaway on Castaway. No, see?
Jay Aundrea: what a, what a difficult situation to be in. Right? Because it is true. I was married to this person and had I not thought that they were dead, I would not be with you right now like that. That is true. And that is something that you both have to reckon with.
Bruce Anthony: But that goes to my point, what I said earlier, the reason why I feel like it's important to, and, and I was like, well, tell me when's the longest relationship that you've been in? These are questions that I like to have. I know the answer to.
Jay Aundrea: I think that's valid.
Bruce Anthony: how did it end? You know, like, what happened in that relationship?
What issues did you have? Like, these [00:15:00] are good questions to ask somebody because it gives you insight into their thinking in relationships. I'm at the age now, like I'm not jumping into a relationship quick, but I'm trying to eliminate all those red flags immediately in the words of Bernie Mack from Players Club immediately.
Dating Out of Your Budget: The Real Problem 💸💔😬
Bruce Anthony: I'm trying to get rid of those. So when I say talk about past relationships, it's stuff like, oh, have you ever been married? No. What's your longest relationship? Not, not deep, intimate details, like on the 3rd of November in 2020.
Jay Aundrea: because then it's just like, okay, why do you need this level of detail?
Bruce Anthony: but it's, it's like general stuff, like, and that's important. I dated a woman and I should have known better, I should have known in her mid thirties, and never had a quote unquote real relationship, real long-term relationship should have known, because I am advanced when it comes to relationship. I'm a divorcee [00:16:00] and I've had multiple long-term relationships, so I know the give and take in a relationship.
Somebody who has not, not gone through that, supposed to go through it. In your twenties, you're supposed to, right? If you,
Jay Aundrea: Uh, not necessarily. I
Bruce Anthony: I, I,
Jay Aundrea: focused on your education and your career.
Bruce Anthony: I think I, I was telling a young person this the other day, that there's two young ladies, they were 21 years old, and I said, this is the greatest advice I could give to you in your twenties.
Date. Date, exclusively. Day non exclusively. Get into relationships. Don't be in relationships. You got 10 years, do it all. Do everything, date every type of person that you could think of, even if they're not your type. Give people opportunities to, to figure out what it is that you want. Because you could think that you want something, get it and be like, Ooh, I don't want this.
Right? So, so I,
Jay Aundrea: Yeah.
Bruce Anthony: so I was like, figure all that out. And then when you do that, [00:17:00] when you meet that right person, the grass will never be greener on the other side because you've already experienced the other side.
Jay Aundrea: Yeah,
Bruce Anthony: You've lived it, you experienced it, you're like, nah, the grass right here is cool. Every now and then it get a little dingy.
I just gotta water it. And, and so that's the reason why it's important. So when a person is in their mid thirties and they've never had no. Long-term relationship. And when I say long-term, a year, year and a half, like maybe somebody's met your parents or, or you've done a holiday or something together, that's something that you need to experience.
You can't go and deal with no person that's literally had families intertwined and get in a relationship with them. 'cause they're just way more advanced than you are. The fights are different. What you're aggravated about is different.
Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.
Bruce Anthony: we went on a long tangent about relationships and we're gonna be talking about more relationships later, but I just thought it was funny that he decided to kick her the whole hell out the house before she even [00:18:00] gotten home.
Like bro, give her a chance to explain it to like she was obviously in pain. Take your pride out of the situation and if you love this person, 'cause y'all live together. If you love this person, find out. You know what it is. How did this person die? Yeah,
Jay Aundrea: Yeah.
Bruce Anthony: people give up too easily.
Jay Aundrea: yeah. Have the conversation. How do you feel about the loss? How do you feel Genuinely about me? And our relationship, is this something that you're ready for? Am I really, truly a priority? Or do you need to continue to go through your grieving and healing process before you are really ready for a relationship?
Like, yeah, that's a conversation. just off rip, just being like, this is this, you cheating type of like, vibe, like,
Bruce Anthony: How she cheating with a dead man? This ain't [00:19:00] ghost.
Jay Aundrea: right. So it's like, what are you kicking her out? Why I,
Bruce Anthony: Uh, I'm really dating myself on this episode. I didn't reference Ghost. I didn't reference Players Club. I think I referenced another eighties or nineties or something. Yeah, whatever. I'm old ladies and gentlemen, and let me explain something to y'all ladies. If I meet you online and we set up a first date and you ain't let me know that you was in a wheelchair and you ain't had no legs, I'm walking straight the hell out that restaurant.
I'm not hesitating.
Jay Aundrea: Yeah.
Bruce Anthony: I'm gone.
Jay Aundrea: I, I, I, I mean, I don't know that I would do that, but it's like I didn't for, uh, for accommodations at the rest of, I can't be my fault that I chose the Sky Lounge. so, you know, and it's not accessible. Like, you didn't let me know this beforehand. You should said something.
Bruce Anthony: All right, we're gonna get into some. [00:20:00] Serious, but you know, we're still gonna find some jokes about it. And it's the Epstein files next.
Bruce Anthony: Alright, Jay, the government is no longer shut down. And what was the number one thing that they were talking about during the shutdown That they were going to do? Vote to pass a bill to get those Epstein files released and they've done it. So Congress just passed the, what'd you say?
Jay Aundrea: He and them files, Lord, he and them files. He in them emails and he in them files, Lord trumpet them files. I've been singing that for for a couple days now.
Epstein Files Released: Congress Votes 427-1 📜⚖️🔓
Bruce Anthony: All right, so Congress has just [00:21:00] passed the bill requiring the US Department of Justice to release the files related to Jeffrey Epstein. Within 30 days of the President Trump's signature, making this one of the most significant developments in the case to date, the move comes after months of bipartisan pressure and public demands for more transparency.
Regarding Epstein's criminal network and his death. Y'all forgot a man is dead. Uh, the Epstein Files Transparency Act passed the House of Representatives with a vote of 4 27 to 1 4 27 to one with the L representative Clay Higgins voting against the measure in the Senate. The bill huh? Say.
Jay Aundrea: said yay.
Bruce Anthony: Yes, in in the Senate, the bill was approved unanimously with zero objections from any senators.
Both votes reflect the overwhelming bipartisan support for the release of the Epstein [00:22:00] files. Jay, as your song interpreted earlier states, you believe he is upping them files and upping them emails. He being, uh, president Donald Trump.
Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm. A hundred thousand percent. Yes,
Bruce Anthony: I was talking,
Jay Aundrea: know it.
He in Them Files: Trump & The Epstein Scandal 🎵📧😱
Bruce Anthony: I was talking to a lawyer because everybody, everybody was like, as soon as Trump was like, just release him. I don't care. Release him, I don't care. When he was fighting so hard, everybody was like, well, you know, they're gonna scrub his name out. And I was talking to a lawyer friend who works, uh, works in the government and that's all I could say works in the government.
Is a lawyer works in the government,
Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.
Bruce Anthony: that's, it would have to be maybe with an AI program, they could scrub his name from all the documents. But there are copies of documents that federal judges [00:23:00] have and lawyers have. So they, if he's upping them files, they're not gonna scrub it. They can't scrub it.
Now what they can do is redact victims and the surrounding information of the victims.
Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.
Bruce Anthony: that may be some way that they keep 'em out, but odds are he upping them files.
Jay Aundrea: He and them files, he and them five. Yeah, he, them fouls, he in them fouls and the thing, and, and, and I'm gonna tell you what, ain't nothing gonna happen.
Bruce Anthony: No, no.
Jay Aundrea: Ain't nothing gonna happen. And that would just be the nail in the coffin, uh, of the. The morality, the conscience, and the humanity of the United States of America.
Bruce Anthony: When you say nothing's gonna happen, what exactly [00:24:00] do you mean?
Jay Aundrea: Ain't nothing gonna happen.
Bruce Anthony: Alright, so yes and no. Remember, this is bipartisan support. There were two people a, I wish I had their names in front of me. I know Massey Massey is the Republican. I forget who the Democrat is
Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.
Bruce Anthony: CO-sponsored this bill.
Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.
Bruce Anthony: Now that 4 27 to one is a little misleading because after Trump said, go ahead and release it.
Uh, Mike Johnson and even Jim Jones was like, we gonna vote for this, but we still think it's a political witch job. So Trump saying that gave people cover to go ahead and vote for it. I would be curious to know, if he hadn't said it, what that vote would've been. It still would've passed regardless. They had the votes regardless.
I don't know if it would've been 4 27 to one, which leads me to believe that some people would've, some [00:25:00] Republicans would've been fighting to continuously fight to not get this release. And then in that regard, yes, I would agree with you that nothing would happen, however.
Why Biden Couldn't Release Them: The Legal Truth ⚖️🕵️📋
Jay Aundrea: It looks like the sponsor was Ana, and then the original co-sponsor was Thomas Massey.
Bruce Anthony: Oh, okay. But with Republicans like Massey, and there's more.
Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.
Bruce Anthony: lot more than that, that are just like, no, we kinda ran on getting them files released and we don't care thereof. There are some Republicans out there who are thinking like Democrats. Democrats don't care if Democrats is. Look, I loved Slick Willie.
I loved Slick Willie. If his ass is up in them, di is up in them files. Slick Willy, ladies and gentlemen is Bill Clinton is up in them files fra them. I don't care.
Jay Aundrea: Yeah. I don't, that's the difference between being in a [00:26:00] cult and not being in a cult.
Bruce Anthony: Mm-hmm.
Jay Aundrea: Yeah. I identify as a Democrat. That does not mean that I'm willing to go to the mat for anybody, particularly this kind of criminal, uh,
Bruce Anthony: Yeah,
Jay Aundrea: No, absolutely not.
Bruce Anthony: I, I think there's a huge push from people. To all, from all walks of life, both sides of the aisle, everything to get to the bottom of this. And that's the reason why I believe something might happen.
Jay Aundrea: I don't think I'm, go ahead.
Bruce Anthony: Well,
Jay Aundrea: What's happened so far? What's happened so far?
Bruce Anthony: the, the files haven't been released and then they, they killed him. Yeah. But this, this is a different thing. You cheating in your business is one thing. You doing something to kids. Whole nother thing. Now people are gonna start, I've already seen his defenders [00:27:00] start to parse the definition of child assault, not the literal definition, but being like, well, what do you mean doing the r Kelly?
Jay Aundrea: Mm.
Bruce Anthony: When you say young, like how young? So they gonna parse with, well they were 16 so they was almost legal. That's completely different from six. And there is a difference, but. No. Okay. It's still gross. Okay. It is still gross and it's still illegal. And they're still kids.
Jay Aundrea: Yeah. Period. Uh, like if you've ever met a 16-year-old, you know, instantly that this is a child. Sorry, I don't, I, period. You can't tell me if, if, if teen is behind your age, like you, it is, it is not just a number, you know, like 32 44. No. What's behind your number is the word teen. That's a child.
Bruce Anthony: Yeah. I mean, [00:28:00] 18 is not a child anymore. 19 is not a child. I,
Jay Aundrea: And and honestly, yes it is.
Bruce Anthony: I mean, they can vote, they can, they can go off the war.
Jay Aundrea: the thing, I don't know that I a hundred percent agree that someone that young can make those kind of life altering decisions. Like, for example, taking out tens of thousands of dollars in loans to pay for college under your own name,
Bruce Anthony: uh, you know, that's a whole different story.
Jay Aundrea: fight in the armed
Bruce Anthony: I, uh, you know.
Jay Aundrea: a big decision to put on an 18-year-old,
Bruce Anthony: Well, I mean, an 18-year-old is deciding whether to go, uh, to the NBA or go to college. I mean, you know, it, it's, some people are more mature than it. It is.
Jay Aundrea: their parents and agents and managers and every like that those are,
Bruce Anthony: I
Jay Aundrea: they're not just deciding that on a whim.
Bruce Anthony: You are right.
Jay Aundrea: of people counseling them.
Bruce Anthony: This is true. Alright, so a lot of the talking [00:29:00] heads have been bringing up something that they think is a counter argument to these whole Epstein files being released. And the counter argument is, why didn't the Democrats do it? They had four years. Why didn't they do it?
Jay Aundrea: What part of active investigations?
Bruce Anthony: I, I'm gonna give the people an explanation. All right, so let me break this down. For all the people in the back who still don't get, why there's a difference between releasing the files during Biden's administration and Trump's administration, it's really clear. So during Biden's administration, the Department of Justice did not release the investigative files to the public citing ongoing legal matters, especially because ghislaine Maxwell's per prosecution and appeals.
Alright, so as reasons that disclosed would intervene with active judicial proceedings, what does that mean? Means that shorty was once in trial and then once [00:30:00] convicted you can appeal, which means that you can't release information about the court proceedings. When there is still an ongoing trial,
Jay Aundrea: Yeah. And potentially bias jurors,
Bruce Anthony: that too,
Jay Aundrea: right? You cannot release that information. It's an active investigation and.
Bruce Anthony: I.
Jay Aundrea: Because, you know, due process, Ghislaine Maxwell was able to file subsequent appeals, plural, therefore, dot, do colon, semicolon, can't release it. Not hard to figure out.
Bruce Anthony: But why were some documents released and during Biden's administration? Why just not release all of them? Some documents from civil crate cases associated with Epstein and Maxwell were unsealed by [00:31:00] federal judges while Biden was in office. But those were court decisions, not executive actions, and do not include the core federal investigation files.
The files were not released under Biden, mainly because the Department of Justice argued that releasing investigative materials could prejudice, uh, legal appeals violate privacy and potential interfere with further prosecutions. The FBI traditionally withhold such evidence unless it's directly related to an active or completed criminal charges.
Why has there been a major shift? The major shift came as bipartisan and public outcry for transparency grew, especially following Maxwell's appeals being denied and the conclusion of major related prosecutions, courts, and some lawmakers have also noted that the [00:32:00] executive branch, rather than the course, is ultimately better positioned to release such materials due to the scope of what is held by the government.
How a Bill Becomes Law: Epstein Edition 📜🏛️✅
Bruce Anthony: So they passed a bill. And what is a bill Jay?
Jay Aundrea: I'm just a bill. Yeah. I'm only a bill. I can't sing too much of that. 'cause I do believe it is still under copyright.
Bruce Anthony: it's
Jay Aundrea: yeah. So yeah, they all got together. Somebody sponsored a bill saying, Hey, let's do a thing. And then they vote on it, and then they all vote on it. It's great. And then guess what?
It goes up to the president. President signs it. B there you go.
Bruce Anthony: the law.
Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.
Bruce Anthony: for all the people out there, why Biden do it, this is an attack against Trump? No, no it isn't. But it is sorta, but it is sorta,
Jay Aundrea: no, no, no, no, no, no,
Bruce Anthony: hold on, let me get this out. Lemme get this out. It is sorta, what I mean by this is there is a he, his opponents, there [00:33:00] is a thing, his opponents do hate him and there is a push for him to get his comeuppance right, but it's not manufactured.
So this is, look man, we done seen some of these emails. We done seen these pictures. You connected to this, dude, you, you was talking a big game that you wanted to release these files. Come on with it.
Jay Aundrea: Yeah.
Bruce Anthony: 'cause we know you in it.
Jay Aundrea: and the thing of it is it, how can it be against Trump? Right? Like some witch hunt when he was the one saying running on releasing these files, him backtracking doesn't negate the fact that this was part of his platform when he was running was that he was gonna release those files.
'cause he was so sure was only Democrats in there. Didn't think I actually, I knew that dude. [00:34:00] I wonder if I'm up in there Europe.
Bruce Anthony: Yeah. No, he's, he's, oh. Only pushing for Democrats to be prosecuted. And that's what he told Pam Bond. He was like, go after them Democrats, no. Go after everybody. And that's the reason.
Jay Aundrea: criminals
Bruce Anthony: Yes, yes. And that's the reason why I think things are going to happen. I think this is the
Marjorie Taylor Greene Turns on Trump 🔄😤🎭
Bruce Anthony: start. ' cause even his MO look, him and Marjorie Taylor Green going at it.
And didn't nobody rock harder for Trump than Marjorie Taylor Green.
Jay Aundrea: for
Bruce Anthony: was his biggest cheerleader. Didn't nobody look, she was drinking all the Kool-Aid. She was right there with him. Everything. And then she was like, hold up. Why? Why? All of a sudden you backtracking all these promises that you was talking about.
Jay Aundrea: to me? Stink? Like, what's going on? Thought we had a deal.
Bruce Anthony: Right,
Jay Aundrea: my people you was gonna release it.
Bruce Anthony: right,
Jay Aundrea: looking at me like I'm a liar.[00:35:00]
Bruce Anthony: Like, hold up, wait a minute, let me put some pimping in it. So she went out and she calls the riff. And I think that you are going to see more people crack, specifically women, 'cause these men, lemme tell you something, men going to rock with each other. And this administration has this thing about protecting child predators and SA
Protecting Predators: The Tate Brothers Scandal 🚨✈️😡
Bruce Anthony: people, men accused the sa because I don't know if you know who the Tate brothers are.
Andrew Tate is a self-professed misogynist. They had couple of different essay trafficking, uh, situations in Romania and some other countries. They came to the States. When they got to the states, their electronics were confiscated and searched
Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.
Bruce Anthony: by customs, by custom agents called from the White House. Got [00:36:00] that.
Squashed, let 'em into the country. So
Jay Aundrea: Yeah.
Bruce Anthony: all this stuff is shady and that, that reporting just came out in the last couple of days. So all
Jay Aundrea: the, this country don't care about women and children, uh,
Bruce Anthony: point? To a certain point,
Jay Aundrea: To, to, to every point. Because y'all were willing to let, uh, people starve
Bruce Anthony: yeah.
Jay Aundrea: to get rid of healthcare and replace it with a concept of a plan.
Bruce Anthony: Well, when I say a certain point, depends. If they think that the people that are being hurt are human enough for them to care about when the people that are being hurt are human enough for them to care about, then they stand up and take notice. And there are people,
Jay Aundrea: seen that demographic of people yet.
Bruce Anthony: uh, it's out there. It's, it's out there.
Jay Aundrea: That, that they care about. I have
Bruce Anthony: Well, oh, a specific.
Jay Aundrea: are.
Bruce Anthony: Oh, no. It's, it's, it's, you can't say it's a, a, these [00:37:00] are the, the characteristics of the people that they'll support. It's a case by case situation, and the majority of the cases they don't support. But every now and then, every now and then,
Jay Aundrea: nine 9%
Bruce Anthony: now and then,
Jay Aundrea: yeah, I don't know who they, uh, aside from protecting themselves, I don't know who they stick their necks out for, aside from Trump.
Bruce Anthony: uh, but not no more. Even his hardened support is starting to turn on him. So who knows? I think something could happen. At the very least, this could just bury him politically. People could start to run away, could be like, oh man, you're kind of toxic. Especially if 2026, these midterms go a certain way.
Yeah, I could see things. I could see people starting to turn on him because he's only as, he's only, he's only as good to them. How can I phrase this? He's only good to them if they can stay in office. If they start to, if he [00:38:00] starts to hurt them being reelected, they'll turn.
Jay Aundrea: Yes, because, uh, what they care about most above everything is the, the acquisition of power
Bruce Anthony: Hmm. You ain't lying when you said what you said.
Jay Aundrea: and the fact that he himself doesn't realize the extent to which he is being used for those ends, uh, makes him even dumber. I.
Bruce Anthony: Yeah. Once again, you ain't lying when you said what you said. And you know what? That's the truth, Ruth.
Jay Aundrea: You are trying to make people say, Bruce. Oh, like you're really,
Bruce Anthony: I'm, I'm 45, I'm up there.
Jay Aundrea: under the bus.
Bruce Anthony: Well, whatever. I'm not too old to see [00:39:00] when people are being dumb as hell. And, and in this next segment we gonna be talking about a Reddit post about a couple that exchanged gifts.
Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.
Bruce Anthony: And one person was not too pleased about their gift. We go get into that next,
Bruce Anthony: Jay? You've been in relationships, so have I,
Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.
Bruce Anthony: and we've both gotten gifts from our significant others.
Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.
Bruce Anthony: Sometimes the gifts are good, sometimes they are bad.
Jay Aundrea: Yes.
Bruce Anthony: Sometimes they ask you for what you specifically want and you tell 'em
Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.
Bruce Anthony: they don't listen and they get you something else.
Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.
Bruce Anthony: Eh, that was the case in this Reddit post.
The Perfume Incident: When Gifts Go Horribly Wrong 💐💔🎁
Bruce Anthony: She asked, is she overreacting for essentially breaking up with her boyfriend because of the gift that he gave her, [00:40:00] gave her now just the title.
You would be like, yeah, I think he gave you a gift. You should. Just accept that and, and, and, and, and be thankful that he got you a gift. But it's much, much deeper than that.
Jay Aundrea: because people forget, it's the thought that counts. And if the thought is not there or it is thoughtless, that's what counts.
Bruce Anthony: Yep. Alright, so I'm gonna give you what she posted,
Jay Aundrea: Okay.
Bruce Anthony: your reaction from it, and then I'm gonna read the text exchange between her and her boyfriend. But here's the post, this is what she posted. I a 31-year-old female with a 33-year-old male dating for about a year. He asked me a while ago for items that I might want as a gift.
So I sent him a wishlist I used that has probably 15 to 20 perfumes. He was sweet and got me three bottles, but they were from Dosier and not the real product. [00:41:00] Dosier is what I guess the off-brand versions of.
Jay Aundrea: I think they sell it at Ulta.
Bruce Anthony: Ah,
Jay Aundrea: get similar smelling products. Yeah.
Bruce Anthony: kind of like you go to Target and you go to get some orange juice and you got Minute Made, and then you got Target brand.
Jay Aundrea: Yeah.
Bruce Anthony: Yeah. Okay.
Jay Aundrea: to get fruit loops, but you come home with fruit
Bruce Anthony: Got you, got you. Alright. She, she continues on, I think it's very sweet, but I want him to save his time in the future because I don't want dupe products.
Jay Aundrea: Yes,
Bruce Anthony: I want the real one.
Jay Aundrea: duplicate.
Bruce Anthony: Okay. I, I don't, she's Gen Z. No, she ain't even Gen Z. That's, that's a millennial. Uh, I want the real ones, but he took it the wrong way and it gives the impression that, that he's just looking for a way out.
Anyway, there are plenty of other things on my list that are cheaper, not brand name, several. [00:42:00] Survey, functional purpose, et cetera. I think his big overreaction is just him looking for a way out more than anything. But I wasn't going to egg him on in a text. Our relationship has been completely fine and normal.
I am a higher earner than him, which he said doesn't bug him, but maybe it does. I don't know. Thoughts. So she had some edits, but just from that initial, what do you think, Jay?
Jay Aundrea: Yeah, I mean, I think it's fair. Like you asked me for what I wanted, I gave you a list of things you could have just got something else on the list instead of coming home with fruits,
Bruce Anthony: Mm-hmm.
Jay Aundrea: like not to say there's anything wrong with fruit oils, I'm sure they're delicious, but I asked you for Fruit Loops.
Bruce Anthony: Right.
Jay Aundrea: You asked me what I wanted and I asked you for fruit loops. So all I'm saying is [00:43:00] thank you. This is very sweet. But next time you could just get, have gotten something else on the list.
Bruce Anthony: Yeah.
Jay Aundrea: I also understand him overreacting because at the same time, she could have not said anything and just never asked him for brand name things In the future, whenever he asks her for stuff
Bruce Anthony: Well, she said, she said the reason why she brought it up is because she didn't want him to waste his money in the future. He didn't want her to.
Jay Aundrea: but okay, so he already bought it. He already did. In the future, if you see that, this is like, okay, I ask him for the thing. He's gonna get me a dup. I'm not gonna ask him for the thing anymore. I'm gonna ask him for something else.
Bruce Anthony: Listen to Mike. Mike could surprise her. It was like, I know you had 15 to 20 only got you three here one. 'cause it's a Sunday. Yeah. I'm not gonna ever wear this. Why ain't you wearing this? I mean, I get what you're saying. It could turn into a [00:44:00] problem. You keep getting me some fake stuff. If a, if a woman bought me sh knowing I, like Jordan's bought me not Jordan brand, not the retros.
Jay Aundrea: Gordons
Bruce Anthony: Well even if she bought me the Jordans, but they're not the retro Jordans,
Jay Aundrea: right.
Bruce Anthony: like, I, I really appreciate this. I, I wear retro Jordans. Please don't waste your money anymore.
Jay Aundrea: that, you know, you gotta explicitly say, I like Jordan's, the retros. Like,
Bruce Anthony: Well, isn't this, isn't this what they're saying?
Jay Aundrea: those sneakers.
Bruce Anthony: Isn't this the same thing if I wrote on a list, I want the Jordan Leavens and you come back with the Derek Jeter Jordan brand. I'm like, them not, that's not the Jordan Leavens. That's, that's not what I wanted.
Jay Aundrea: yeah.
Bruce Anthony: that's essentially what she did.
Jay Aundrea: Yes, but if it's just like, like this person knows you, like Jordan's, so they go get you some, but they didn't get the right kind. That's, [00:45:00] different. But she explicitly wrote out what she wanted. You asked her,
Bruce Anthony: Mm-hmm.
Jay Aundrea: she told you a long list. Could have picked anything. You intentionally went out and tried to find the cheaper version of that product
Dupes vs Real: She Asked for Fruit Loops, Got Fruit Ohs 🥣😬💸
Bruce Anthony: So, of course guys in the comments was like, I don't understand what the big deal is. You know, dupe, we all get dupe products. And she explained very much like you did
Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.
Bruce Anthony: it's not the same perfume, just, uh, it's off brand bottle. It's not made at the same factory. It's the, it's the way generic cereals are made.
Du perfumes are cheaper, lower quality have less longevity. They're, they're limited, right? They, they're just bad. So she was making it clear for the guys. 'cause I, I didn't, I'm just, I was like, oh, I don't know what the big deal is. And she also said, several people have asked when this took place. And to be clear, he gave me the perfume over a week ago.
When we [00:46:00] were together in person, I said, thank you then. And when about our days. The entire reason that I brought it up was to make sure he doesn't continue to waste his money buying me stuff that's not going to get used. I don't wanna say I didn't wanna say anything and him thinking I wanted more. So
Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.
Bruce Anthony: she kind of commented on a little bit about what you're saying, but
Jay Aundrea: Yeah.
Bruce Anthony: solely isn't the reason why they broke up. I'm gonna read the text exchange ladies, gentlemen, between these two people she texts. So I want to talk to you about the gifts. If you have a minute, he texts back. Sure, what's up? She says, it was really sweet of you to get me the perfume, but in the future, please don't get me dupes. I know it seems like it's a bargain, but when I say I want a perfume, I want the actual perfume and not a knockoff.
And he said, is it because you want the label? Not exactly. It's more like ES are inferior products with less longevity. They don't always smell the same. And yes, the packaging [00:47:00] too, it was cheaper to just get the, uh, the dozers one do. Oh, it was just cheaper to get that. Oh,
Jay Aundrea: I think it's Dosier.
Bruce Anthony: the, we gonna call 'em the dupes.
Okay. It was cheaper to get that. Why? Why does it really matter? It matters to me because there are luxury items that I'm saving up to get or reward myself with.
Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.
Bruce Anthony: if you don't want to get me the real stuff, it's okay. You can always get me other stuff. I don't know. This is rubbing me the wrong way. It seems kind of superficial and braddy to throw a temper tantrum over not getting the brand name item because someone wanted to give you all the one, all the other ones you wanted.
I even read reviews to see what other people thought, and they all seemed okay with it. So maybe this is how I find, find out. You're a lot more superficial than I thought. Whoa, I'm not throwing the temper tantrum at all. I said thank you and just asked for a fuser [00:48:00] instances that you skipped the perfume.
I'm not mad or anything. You kind of are. To be honest, when I say I want perfume, I want the actual perfume and not a knockoff. It's Tyler level temper tantrum. Shit. I'm kind of disgusted by this because in my mind you are not like this, but to find out you are is unsettling and unnerving. I'm worried that I'm wasting my time.
Okay, why don't we talk about this in person? I don't know if I'm just coming across harsh or what, but I'm not upset that you got me the perfume. Uh, no. I don't know if I want to see you at this point. I went out of my way to one. Look at your wishlist. Two, think about what you have talked about. Three.
Pick several items from it. Four, get you the exact product just in different packaging from a less trendy company. And five, get ready for it. At this point, I'm just fully disgusted. If you get me store brand Mac and cheese instead of Annie's, I wouldn't say shit. I'd [00:49:00] accept it gratefully, but you just had to open your mouth.
I think there's a disconnect here because I'm not trying to berate you. No. What you're doing is telling me that what I got you isn't good enough for you. And you care more about the name of the packaging than, than the, and the scent, than you care about me. Uh, yes. Then you care about me, which I figure since it's perfume, you wouldn't care what it comes in.
I said it was sweet of you to get them for me, but I'd rather just save them to get myself as a reward, because that's a way of, that way seeing them on my shelf is a reminder of what I accomplish. Nah, how about I just never get you a gift again after you just spat in my face and told me my gifts weren't good enough because they don't come in some fancy bottle.
In fact, I think I just saw the real you finally. And to be honest, I'm just disgusted. I don't think you're the right kind of girl. For me, if you care more about brand names than what's inside the box, that just reminds me of those superficial Insta whores [00:50:00] and it makes me sick. Whoa. I'm sorry I said anything.
Yeah, I bet you are, because now you showed your hand and I see the real you and you thought you could hide it forever.
The Text Fight: When He Called Her an Insta Whore 📱😡💥
Bruce Anthony: There's more, but I just want to get your response to that.
Jay Aundrea: Uh, yeah, he read that in the way he wanted to hear it. Right. Like even him saying, giving a direct quote, I can hear the way he read it,
Bruce Anthony: Mm-hmm.
Jay Aundrea: but I also know the way she intended it.
Bruce Anthony: Mm-hmm.
Jay Aundrea: This is why ladies and gentlemen, you do not have real conversations over text. You just don't. If you have something important to say to someone, they need to see your face, hear the tone of your [00:51:00] voice and receive it the way you intend for it to be received.
If it's written down, they going to read it. How they wanna read it
Bruce Anthony: Hmm.
Jay Aundrea: classic key and peel sketch about
Bruce Anthony: Yes. Yes.
Jay Aundrea: each other back and forth and reading it completely different and getting completely different things out of this very simple text message conversation. Uh, so that's number one.
Should have never done this over text. Never. Number two, he absolutely blew that way out of proportion. But again, it's because he did not, he read it the way he wanted to read it,
Bruce Anthony: Do you think
Jay Aundrea: way that it was intended.
Bruce Anthony: she brought it up in the original post that she makes more money than him, that she didn't think that it bothered him? Do you think that does bother him? And this is the reason why he blew up? 'cause she, he's probably looking at that list like, man, I'm not gonna get her this look, this, that, [00:52:00] that perfume is, this is just the same thing and it's a lot cheaper.
I'm gonna go ahead and get her this. And then I spent my money on it. I spent my money on you. That's what he said. I spent my money on you.
Jay Aundrea: yeah. Yeah. And the, and the thing of it is he wasn't even really trying to hear what she was saying. He said, oh, so you just want the name? No, I'm telling you that when you get a dpe. It is not the same. It's like when you get a Duke purse. is not the same as the purse that you buy directly from the brand or from, you know what I'm
Bruce Anthony: Mm-hmm.
Jay Aundrea: the same. It looks very similar, but that's stitching off like some, there'll be, there are definite things in there that ain't quite right,
Bruce Anthony: Right. Yeah.
Jay Aundrea: it, it is not gonna be the same level of quality. What she's saying is, as she has very good points, very valid points, [00:53:00] long descent is not the same. It does not last as long. is not of the same quality. It doesn't have anything to do. I, I want the brand because the brand represents a certain level of quality.
Bruce Anthony: And she did also say that the brand also, she likes to have them on her shelf because it, it's an accomplishment. It's a reward for herself. So she, yes, she likes to look at it and, and he, he wasn't trying to hear it, but I'm gonna get to part two of their texts, their text. Ladies and gentlemen, it's on my phone.
Bear with me. Okay? I might need some glasses, but just bear with me. Alright. This is what he texts. We have to talk about the plans for my mom's on Thanksgiving.
Jay Aundrea: No, we don't.
Bruce Anthony: Are you ignoring me? I'm not mad about the perfume stuff anymore. I get that you're into brand names and all that stuff. I'm just not used to being with girls who care about that stuff.
It caught me off [00:54:00] guard. I think it's time we break up. I think it's time we break this off and both go our separate ways. I just don't think I can trust.
Jay Aundrea: saying that she is
Bruce Anthony: Yeah, she is. She Okay. Let me, ladies, it is better when I have it on the screen and me and my sister going back and forth.
Jay Aundrea: Yeah.
Bruce Anthony: just say her response. I think it's time we break this off.
Both go our separate ways. I just don't think I could trust your reaction to how you spoke to me. He responds, what the F, he actually spells out the the full F word over one fight where I get kind of upset. Are you serious? So I'm not allowed to say anything or react in any way when you basically spin in my face for not buying you a brand name perfume that are $500.
You care more about the label on the bottle of perfume than you do our relationship and everything we've done. You won't even admit that you were wrong. She responds. The fact that you still think it's about the brand names [00:55:00] when I told you it's about how you spoke to me, is enough for me to know this is the right decision.
I wish you the best. He responds back, enjoy being alone for the holidays. Single at 31 is pretty much as pathetic as you can get.
Jay Aundrea: Boy, men really love to throw that out there, but the lonely people, and there are very many studies out
Bruce Anthony: Mm-hmm.
Jay Aundrea: a lot of psychological journals, that is men that are lonely because women cultivate deep relat friendships, deep friendships and relationships with the people in their lives. And we are not lonely. Y'all are. And you're projecting and we know it and it doesn't work.
Was She Overreacting? The Verdict on Gift Drama ⚖️💭🎁
Bruce Anthony: The whole thing was, was she overreacting? No, ma'am. You are not overreacting. Let me explain something to you. If something is important to you, then you explain to somebody this is important to you, and they minimize it in any way.[00:56:00]
Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.
Bruce Anthony: They don't respect you. Because let me tell you something. When I date somebody, it doesn't matter how small it is to me.
If it's a big deal to them, it then becomes a big deal to me, and that's what relationships are.
Jay Aundrea: Yes.
Bruce Anthony: Anybody who minimizes you, doesn't respect you, doesn't respect you as they should.
Jay Aundrea: Yes.
Bruce Anthony: Anybody who speaks to you in a manner calling you insta whore,
Jay Aundrea: Yeah.
Bruce Anthony: who gets angry and immediately goes to belittling you saying that you're basically only want fancy things.
Jay Aundrea: a girl superficial likening me to quote unquote an insta whore, which I don't know exactly what that is because the people that be in them, dms don't always be the ladies, uh, but okay. Yeah, no, you will not, I don't [00:57:00] care what it is because again, flip it. Flip it. If it had been something he cared about and she minimized it, I Right.
Bruce Anthony: Yep.
Jay Aundrea: it, it, no, no. All I'm saying is in the future, don't, don't, don't, you don't have to do it. Like I put other things on the list. You didn't have to go for the high dollar things if that's not within your budget.
Bruce Anthony: Right, and there's another thing guys. Stop dating out your budget. What I mean by that is, is that she is more than fine to, to get the things that she wants that are fancy on her own. I,
Jay Aundrea: Yes.
Bruce Anthony: I don't remember actually, there was one of my last ex, one of the last girlfriends I had within the last six years made less of me.
But the majority of the women that I've dated over the last six years, I've actually dated that actually considered my [00:58:00] girlfriend, or we were in a real relationship, made more than me. Right. And I spent Christmas with one of 'em,
Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.
Bruce Anthony: it wasn't a big deal. She told me what she wanted. I went out and got it.
Anything that she wanted that she thought would be too expensive for me, she would just get herself. And I didn't take offense to that because we both went into this knowing I made less than she did.
Jay Aundrea: Yeah.
Bruce Anthony: I still held my own, but I made less. I'm not gonna take it offense, just because she wants to go out and get some fancy things.
And if she asked me if she could put a whistle list and ask me, I like this hand cream, that's expensive. You know what? That's what you like. That's what you want. Maybe don't think you get, but I'm gonna get you this hand cream and I'm gonna get you the right thing. The thing that you wanted, so
Jay Aundrea: I, I also wonder if it might not have been a little insensitive on her part to put things on there that might have been outta his [00:59:00] budget.
Bruce Anthony: well, yeah. Yeah, because she definitely knew that she made more than him.
Jay Aundrea: Yeah. So
Bruce Anthony: Yeah.
Jay Aundrea: think, did you, honestly, you've been with this person for a year. Did you think they were gonna drop $500 on perfume?
Bruce Anthony: That first of all, uh, that's expensive. Perfume I wear exp.
Jay Aundrea: know what that, because I wear a brand name and I do not pay and, and, and not owe the toilet
Bruce Anthony: Right.
Jay Aundrea: Mama. I pay, owe the Parfum. Okay. I, I don't pay that much for this Eve son, Lauren. Okay. So I don't know what perfume she is wearing. That's $500.
Bruce Anthony: I don't know either. But is she getting a giant bottle?
Jay Aundrea: Right?
Bruce Anthony: Is she getting
Jay Aundrea: a big bottle? You know, you get them, you can get them little petite bottles of Hennessy, but you can also get them big old bottle.
Bruce Anthony: right?
Jay Aundrea: Like what are we, what are talking about here?[01:00:00]
Bruce Anthony: Because I don't know. I don't know what to telling me, but,
Jay Aundrea: and
to equate it with, if you had got me the brand name, uh, like a, all a generic mac and cheese instead of Andy's, which. All right. you know, I wouldn't have been because you don't care about that. She cares about this and she's willing to just buy it for herself.
Bruce Anthony: That's all she did.
Jay Aundrea: you could have just got something else on the list.
Bruce Anthony: Look, I, I just don't know why he thought coming in there with the off-brand stuff was going, was gonna fly. I don't What was he thinking? What was he thinking?
Jay Aundrea: had worse.
Bruce Anthony: Oh, that you've asked specifically for a specific thing and then
Jay Aundrea: I didn't even ask for anything. So the fact of the matter is, you could have just not got me anything. But you chose to go in your mama's room and grab some and body work she hasn't [01:01:00] used before and put it in a bag and give it to me and then tell it. Tell me that's where you got it from.
Bruce Anthony: I, I know who exactly who you're talking about. Let's,
Jay Aundrea: I know. You know.
Bruce Anthony: I know exactly.
Jay Aundrea: I put that bag down,
Bruce Anthony: Now Bath and Bodyworks got some good stuff. Not cologne and perfume, but some, but the body lotion.
Jay Aundrea: we, we talking that, that stuff 20,
Bruce Anthony: Yeah, yeah.
Jay Aundrea: you couldn't have gone there and picked something out for
Bruce Anthony: Right,
Jay Aundrea: I didn't ask you for anything, so you could have just done nothing. You could have got dinner, could have got me some flowers. Could have been a little thi and I would've appreciated that. But then to tell me like that was some sort of, see that was smart, right? Oh, you dumb as hell
Bruce Anthony: Yeah. Well,
Jay Aundrea: and I'm dumb as
Bruce Anthony: I was getting ready to say that
Jay Aundrea: We both two dummies
Bruce Anthony: two dumb [01:02:00] asses dating
Jay Aundrea: business being together.
Final Thoughts: It Ain't Tricking If You Got It 💰🎤✨
Bruce Anthony: Jay, what do you wanna tell the people out there?
Jay Aundrea: Oh boy. You know who your partner is. Don't ask for something you know that's out. They budget, number one and number two, it. It ain't tricking if you got it. If you don't, don't ask. Don't up with your own creative idea in your budget. You don't have to go overboard, especially for someone who didn't even ask for it, You asked, right?
