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

Bruce Anthony: is the sibling happy hour. I'm here with my sis, Jay, Andrea. We gonna be dilly dad in a little bit, and then we're gonna be talking about education in America. And then we're gonna be talking about, is your house [00:01:00] nasty?

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. Before we hopped in, I. Saw something funny on the internet that I want to share

Jay Aundrea: the interwebs?

Bruce Anthony: on the interwebs. So this w this woman does a tweet 'cause that's who I'm gonna call 'em. 'cause I don't know what you call 'em now since I'm ex,

Jay Aundrea: like I like they didn't even come up with a name, so like if we still call it tweets, it's Twitter.

Bruce Anthony: It is Twitter, right? So she comes over with a, with a tweet and it says, this girl on Facebook got jumped by four people at a party.

She's been on there all day catching all the hoes one by one, beating the F out of them. They talk about she the female John Wick and, and so this woman, this woman, her name is Raymond Rowe. She's on Facebook and [00:02:00] she is literally filming herself, catching each one of the women that jumped her in different locations and beating the hell out of 'em and posting them on Facebook.

The Female John Wick: Revenge Served Cold 👊🔥💯

Bruce Anthony: This is hilarious.

Jay Aundrea: Listen, here's the thing, I never understood. Jumping people. If you got a problem with one person, then you fight that person. Jumping people to me is like, okay, y'all can't fight. So y'all need to fight in a group

Bruce Anthony: Mm-hmm.

Jay Aundrea: in order to win this fight. 'cause you know, if you, if you fight me one-on-one, you can get your ass whooped.

And that's what's happening. She's finding them. All y'all had something to do with this. All y'all, this is very kill Bill and I, and I, know what? You gotta do what you gotta do. I mean, I don't condone violence, but you know, I, for now, I guess so.

Bruce Anthony: I saw one video 'cause people started reporting her and they started taking [00:03:00] some videos down, but the, the first video is still up. She said, number one, tag the woman that she was going to beat down Carter in like a store, maybe a dollar store, CVS or something like that. And you see her commencing. To whooping that ass all across the store, knocking over shelves and everything.

And I now I wanna see all the other videos. 'cause they said that she is systematically going down the line, catching them, recording it, and whooping their ass. I love it

Jay Aundrea: I, I, I don't love it, but I understand

Bruce Anthony: now. I love it. Why don't you love it?

Jay Aundrea: because I, I just don't condone, you know, at my big age, like, I was thinking about this earlier. I was like, can I even fight anymore? Like, I haven't been in a fight since I was 18. Okay, that was quite some time ago. You put your hands on me. You going to jail like you going to jail?

There's gonna [00:04:00] be a criminal, criminal and civil trial. 'cause then I'm gonna sue you, like for my emotional distraction. Like, don't, don't touch me. I don't fight. I have, you know, assets. I don't, I got things to lose. Like, not a lot, but I got a little bit and I got, I don't wanna lose it. You know what I'm saying?

So no, I ain't gonna fight. No.

Bruce Anthony: I literally had this conversation with somebody earlier, and the last time I was officially in a fight had to have been like 2001, 2002. Now, I may have

Jay Aundrea: It was, it was

Bruce Anthony: this story, okay, so I may have told this story on the podcast before, but I was in a bar in Ames,

Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.

Bruce Anthony: And I was drunk and I was surrounded and I was fighting everybody and I was by myself 'cause my two boys weren't around.

And then all of a sudden I see my short friend jump in the middle and just start swinging with me. Now we got kicked out, but what I remember was that out of [00:05:00] all the punches that were being thrown by both sides, didn't nobody land anything

and

Jay Aundrea: y'all was just wild swinging,

Bruce Anthony: we was just wild swinging. Now the last time. I stopped, I stopped trying to get into fights and tried to avoid them after it was senior year.

I wasn't quite 18 yet, but it was like, I already graduated. It was the summer, and I got in a fight with this dude and I hit him so hard that, you know, those sounds that the, the movies make where

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. Yeah,

Bruce Anthony: like it. It made that sound and he was laid out in the bushes. I didn't knock him out. But he was laid out in the bushes.

I was like, oh, I'm at the point now where I could really, really, seriously hurt somebody. Nope. No reason for me to be fighting anymore. 'cause I'm not going to jail.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. I don't know what was going down in 2002, but I also got into a fight. It was, it was my freshman year of college. And then, and, and after I was done, I was like, I'm not doing this [00:06:00] anymore. I didn't even want to, I was defending myself. I like, I don't wanna do this anymore. I don't wanna do this.

I, I, yeah, I, I'm not doing this no more. I, I, I'm not gonna be one of them. One of them girls, one of them women that just be out here brawling. Nah, nah, don't touch me.

Bruce Anthony: I mean, if somebody touch, you ain't got no choice but to fight,

Jay Aundrea: I'm saying don't touch me. Like, yes, I'm gonna defend myself, but also, please know that litigation is coming, like it's coming.

Bruce Anthony: speaking of fighting,

Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.

Bruce Anthony: sometimes, like Public Enemy said, you gotta fight the powers that be.

Jay Aundrea: True.

Bruce Anthony: And Democrats yesterday were filming this after the

Virginia's First Female Governor Makes History 🏛️👩‍⚖️✨

Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.

Bruce Anthony: and Democrats won. Overwhelmingly in so many different elections. So you had [00:07:00] Mikey, she and Abigail Span Berger. Abigail Span Berger is now my governor here in the state of Virginia, the first female governor and I made a post on, on my personal Instagram.

I took a picture of my voting sticker on my chest. And then as I was voting, it kind of dawned on me, we lived in Virginia when Virginia had its first black governor.

Jay Aundrea: Yes.

Bruce Anthony: Governor Douglas Wilder, he was elected I think in 89. He took the office in 1990. Here we are 35 years later, we finally get a female

Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.

Bruce Anthony: And in the post I said, I mean, they said progress was a slow process, but 35 years, we need to speed up this progress. 'cause that's a generation. And then somebody said, that's actually two generations. I'm like, no, it's not. It's a generation. Oh, I don't care what they say. It's not every 18 years. It's, it's like every 30 years is a generation.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: that's just too long.

Jay Aundrea: yeah, I mean, [00:08:00] you know, I feel like we've been ready for a woman in the presidency but the rest of America doesn't feel that way. So we, you know, we're, it's still gonna be a long. Road, obviously there's still a lot of, gender based discrimination, right? And, and we saw it with the, with getting the right to vote in the, in the first place, right?

The men, black men were given the right to vote before white women or women in general. So. Yeah, gender based discrimination is still very much alive and well in this country for sure.

Bruce Anthony: Look, lemme tell you something, this is what I've always said. White men do not care about women in general at all. And the only time they care about white women, the only [00:09:00] time is when they feel like a black man may have defiled that white woman, that's the only time they've ever defended white women.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah, but even then it's, it still doesn't feel like it's really about the woman. It's more about a, like a power possession type of thing.

Bruce Anthony: Yep.

Jay Aundrea: Like you have no right to touch whiteness in that

Bruce Anthony: Mm-hmm.

Jay Aundrea: Not so much. It still doesn't feel so much about. The actual woman, and you'll see, you see that when it's, when it's you know, a white perpetrator and a white victim, right?

Bruce Anthony: Oh yeah. I said only they only

Jay Aundrea: yeah.

Bruce Anthony: when it's somebody, not them.

Jay Aundrea: But we had this

White Men & The Patriarchy: A Hard Truth 💔😤🎭

Jay Aundrea: conversation that says that's the patriarchy, right? Like the patriarchy says, to be a man or to exhibit like masculine traits is to be the antithesis of femininity. So what happens? They grow up despising all of the things

Bruce Anthony: Well that [00:10:00] hold on. We let, we are letting people into a private conversation. No, we were, we, no, we recorded, but that was the after hours.

Jay Aundrea: Oh, I mean, they're not gonna get the whole I'm, I'm, I'm bringing it around town, like,

Bruce Anthony: Bring it around. Okay.

Jay Aundrea: Um, y yeah, so it's, it, it, it, you know, you can't in interrupt because then there goes my train of thought. It's gone. done. Left the station.

Bruce Anthony: You was talking, you was talking

Jay Aundrea: It done left the station. I'm still on the platform.

Bruce Anthony: Jay, you were talking about Damnit. I don't even know what you was talking about. Our audience is gonna be like, yo, they had the memory of a net because we were just talking about patriarchy.

Jay Aundrea: was what happens is, men grow up despising things that are seen societally as feminine or attached to womanhood. So what happens? Well, you're gonna not like the thing that exhibits all the qualities you're supposed to be doing. The opposite of.[00:11:00]

Bruce Anthony: Mm-hmm.

Jay Aundrea: So you have now a situation where do men like women or do men date women for other men for the approval of other men, but they don't actually like women because everything that is supposed to be attached to femininity is everything they're supposed to be against, like fundamentally.

Bruce Anthony: Yeah, I mean, I person, I personally love women, but that was a long process for me to get to. 'cause it's a, it's a deprogramming. But back to the election night,

Zoran won the mayorship, I guess it's the, the mayoral race.

Um, defeating Andrew Cuomo. Look, this is my thing about Andrew Cuomo. I was like, look. You resigned from being a governor outta disgrace.

You ran against [00:12:00] Zoran in the primary and lost by 12 points. Then you decided to still run anyway as an independent and you still lost. At what point does this, 67-year-old man says my political career is over with, and I should be okay with that. I done done some cool things besides outside of my groping.

I done done some cool things. You know what? This is it. But we got a new governor in New York City. As

Jay Aundrea: Yeah, I mean, Cuomo is following the, the Rudy Giuliani school of not retiring, walk away, sit down somewhere. Now you are like leaving in disgrace, like leaving public eye in disgrace, like just,

Bruce Anthony: what? No, he did that when he, when he decided to not be governor anymore and gave that up. That was disgrace.

Jay Aundrea: yeah. But now it's just, it's piling on the disgrace. Yeah, it's just piling it on. Like, just, just please stop. But no [00:13:00] momani, wow. That, I mean, they, or Republicans and conservatives pulled out all the stops

New York Rejects the Smear Campaign 🗽💪🔥

Jay Aundrea: as far as like the smear campaign of Ani and so. The fact that the people of New York is like, I think you forgot who we are.

Bruce Anthony: The young people in New York, let's be clear. 'cause them people over 45 were still for Cuomo.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. But I think they were like you, I think you forgot who we are. Like we don't take kindly to being told what to do or being smeared and all this stuff, like, nah. And so for this man to be out proud, socialist, democratic socialist, and. And to win in one of the most influential cities in this country is a very good day.

Bruce Anthony: Yeah. Also in California, proposition 50 passed, allowing the state legislators to redraw the districts ahead of the midterms, seen as a strategic [00:14:00] move against Republican gerrymandering. So, you know, Texas was doing something, some other states was doing stuff. So California was like, all right, well we gonna redraw our.

California Fights Back Against Gerrymandering 🗺️⚖️💥

Bruce Anthony: District maps, which is gonna give us five more Democratic seats in the House of Representatives for the midterms. And then they're saying, Hey, Maryland, Virginia, you need to do the same thing. New York City is need to do the same thing if this is what they want to do in certain states to try and give.

States, more Republican seats, democratic states will go do the same. And it's funny because Mike Johnson and Trump sitting here saying, that's illegal. They can't do that. And then at the same time, talking out the side of the mouth by saying, but you know what? Republican states need to do it. So which one is it?

Is it illegal? Or is it illegal? Is it cool for certain states to do it or not? Cool for certain states to do it? What is it? I

Jay Aundrea: Y Yeah. The Republicans in power should not be the bar or the barometer by which we judge our own ethics or morals. Okay. So, [00:15:00] and they definitely aren't the bar for what's legal and not legal. They're not that either. So they really don't have a leg to stand on and we shouldn't be listening, and I'm glad we're not.

No. Meet them where they are. Meet them where they are you guys using gerrymandering to disenfranchise, specifically my largely minority voters? Right. To, to seize power or to, or to preserve power. Okay. You realize the democratic states, some of the largest and economically. Powerful ones in this country.

Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool, cool, cool. Yeah, we were, they go low. We go high. I don't think we should do that anymore. And I love that Gavin Newsom, I felt like this was led a lot by, Tim Walls, [00:16:00] right when he started calling him weird,

Bruce Anthony: Maybe. maybe

Jay Aundrea: but.

Bruce Anthony: he started it.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah, because we saw just how effective that was because they had no recourse except to say, I'm not weird, you know,

Bruce Anthony: But, but I don't think Tim Walls, I don't think that was deliberate. I think that Tim Walls is kind of, was just like talking and he was like, he was trying to come up with an adjective to describe the way that they act and he was like, it just, it's just weird. And I actually hate the term weird. I like using unique better instead of weird for like all contexts.

I hate when people call other people weird. I'm like, nah, they're just unique

Jay Aundrea: Nah,

Bruce Anthony: Nah, you,

Jay Aundrea: unique.

unique. and weird are two different words and they have two different meanings, and

Bruce Anthony: know how, how different the meanings of actually are.

Jay Aundrea: weird.

Bruce Anthony: All right. Well, regardless, Democrats achieved key wins beyond just the marquee contest of the Virginia governorship, the New Jersey governorship, and the New York mayoral ship. They showed strength [00:17:00] in state legislators and other down bat down the ballot races, including states such as your state of Georgia and Pennsylvania.

So republicans are scared today. Democrats are joyful. I think everybody need to bring down the temperature.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. 'cause

Bruce Anthony: I don't think

Jay Aundrea: just, we still

midterms. Midterms are still coming. We Still have a lot of work.

Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: Yep. And Democrats should not be so joyful. Republicans should not be so down in the dumps somehow.

This stuff always causes see, seems to even out. But you done done some work Democrats, you done done some work. You found some messaging that works to people, works for people, lean into that

Jay Aundrea: Honestly,

Bruce Anthony: you can make some change.

Jay Aundrea: I don't think they did.

I don't think, I don't, I think.

Cost of Living Crisis Hits Federal Workers Hard 💸😰🏚️

Jay Aundrea: A majority of this [00:18:00] is the dissatisfaction with Republicans right now because what people are, especially those who supported Trump, are finding is that the government benefits they got, right. What's snap. Yeah, they, they might have packaged it differently or something like that.

Oh, you don't have, I, I'm not for Obamacare, but you have a CA, it's the same thing. It's the exact same thing. So the packaging of what you get, you think you're getting something different than a government subsidy, but really what you're getting is in fact the same thing that people of color are getting. And when it gets taken away, when things are no longer affordable, especially here in Georgia, because we have a really big issue with price gouging with our, with Georgia Power, the electric company [00:19:00] nothing's affordable. People are losing their government benefits and they're tired. I don't know, I can't think of anything specifically that really to me. Was like the rallying cry for Democrats.

Bruce Anthony: You just hit the nail on the head. You, you just described it. It was cost of living.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. But how

much of that, how much of that is, is really rooted in their messaging or actually just people being tired of the actual effects?

Bruce Anthony: Both. Both things can be true and me being here in Virginia span Berger debts. Some of the things that she was talking about, and when they talk about Doge and federal layoffs and people being affected by the shutdown, it's happening here as somebody who owns different companies in this area that has clients that or customers that work for the [00:20:00] government.

I am personally seeing an effect to my business because Virginia employs the most federal workers. More than any other state. The majority of the federal workers are here in this state. So there was a lot of people that lost their jobs. And a lot of people right now, a lot of people ain't getting no money.

A lot, no money. 'cause they haven't been at work for 35 days. Well, I mean, you counted weekend days, but still 35 days. So some people have missed, not one, but two paychecks. I know personally of people that are like, I gotta. Call my folks for a little bit of a loan because yeah, I'm gonna get that money back, but I need that money now.

So,

Jay Aundrea: Now

Bruce Anthony: yeah, that, so it's, it's cost. It's cost a living. Meanwhile, this dude is throwing a great Gatsby party for Halloween and building a, a 300 million plus ballroom that nobody asked for. so

Jay Aundrea: No [00:21:00] one asked for. And it's like, who's going to be in there? And, and also there

are, yeah, that's it. But like who? And, and honestly a lot of y'all who are MAGA that think. That you gonna be in that ballroom. You ain't never gonna see one tile or a speck of paint from that ballroom. You ain't never getting close to it.

Golden Ballroom While Americans Starve 🏰💰😡

Jay Aundrea: Please. This man has always been classist, but beyond that, it's the optics of it. He does not care. There are people who cannot afford to put food on their table and keep a roof over their head, and this man is building. golden ballroom

Bruce Anthony: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Jay Aundrea: doesn't, and that just lets you know he does not care about the American people at all because he doesn't even care about the optics.

Just not the, not to mention the fact that it's [00:22:00] morally wrong. Right? Not to mention the fact that he's not doing his job. It at any stretch of the imagination, this man is not doing his job. He is not representing the whole country. He represents only the people who, who are his sycophants. Like he does not care about the American people at all.

'cause he can't even bring himself to care about the optics. And then I think about anytime there is a crisis and a loss of life or something in this country, right? It could be anything. The fact that this man can't even for a full sentence, express his sympathies or compassion without pivoting to something else stupid that has to do like, I don't know if you saw, oh, I can't remember the name, but like he can't even muster up the fake compassion

Bruce Anthony: Yeah.

Jay Aundrea: for people [00:23:00] suffering.

He when he's confronted with no, people can't afford things. The prices of stuff are going, no, it's not. We're doing great. But you wanna know why? Because people are telling him that.

Bruce Anthony: Well, no, there are certain people doing, like if you got money in the stock market, if you got the 401k, like if you got money, you're doing well, the economy is doing well for you. If you live paycheck to paycheck, you're struggling. And that's part of the reason why the Democrats won.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: But another reason why the Democrats won.

Is because of this next topic that we are about to talk about and, and it's education. Look, ladies and gentlemen, my sister sent me something and she should have known that it was going to ruffle my feathers 'cause I'm an educator, but whatever. We gonna get into

it.

Jay Aundrea: y'all.

Bruce Anthony: All right, we gonna get into it next.

[00:24:00]

Bruce Anthony: All right, Jay, you sent me something that I, that you should have known was gonna ruffle my feathers because let's talk about the education. It was funny. But it was talking about the education system in America. So you wanted to tell the people out here what you sent me.

Jay Aundrea: so it's a collection. I think it's, he's done four parts. So it's a content creator. His name is Legit Pat, the title of the series is Things We Had to Learn in Elementary School for some reason, and it's just like a bunch of stuff. And I'm like, we did learn this and none of the, literally none of this has come up in adult conversation.

Useless School Lessons: Bermuda Triangle & Quicksand 🌊🤔📚

Jay Aundrea: Why do I need to know? That we don't know where Amelia Earhart is. Like who, what does that have to do anything? And honestly, when he brought up the Bermuda Triangle, that was [00:25:00] a real concern for me at seven. Like, I was very concerned about the Bermuda Triangle and that people were disappearing. All but it, it's not, it's not real.

Like it's, it's a fake thing. Why, why are kids learning this?

Bruce Anthony: Okay, so while all this stuff, and, and you know me, I was like, there's a reason behind everything, and this is also, I talk about it all the time. This is also the reason why people who have never studied education should never be a part of the education process. I know there are parents out there that say, I should have a say in what your, what my kids can learn.

No, because you don't know how to teach your kids. You don't.

Jay Aundrea: want, if, if you wanna say homeschool 'em.

Bruce Anthony: Yep. Do that because you don't know how to teach your kids. So when we learn about the p, the Bermuda Triangle and tad poles and clouds and, and different rocks and lag tights and lag mites and, and [00:26:00] all this other stuff, right? That you're like, I'll never use this stuff, ever.

You're kind of right. Those particular topics. You're probably never going to use them again. But what they do is, is they build a foundation in critical thinking, problem solving and adaptability when you get older. And so this is what the most formidable years for any person is their childhood. This is the reason why they tell you, teach a kid a foreign language when they're a kid.

Because you're a, you're sponge, you're soaking in everything. So. In elementary school, you are introduced to a variety of different things, and it is for the critical thinking, the prophesy and the adaptations for life, but also because you don't know what the hell you're gonna be when you grow up, right?

You might think, what the hell do I need to learn about tadpoles? Or anything. And then the next thing you know, you're some extreme biologist [00:27:00] later on in life that's discovering how to clone human body parts so that when people lose limbs, they'll be able to grow 'em again. I don't know, it might lead to something like that.

You don't know what you're gonna become when you're a five-year-old kid, so it's better to throw everything at the wall to see what sticks.

Jay Aundrea: But what does quicksand have to do? That was another big, big worry for me at, at six, seven years old. Okay. I worried about very few things. One, the Bermuda triangle, two quicksand, three piranhas, like these were real fears, okay? And literally, I have never, I don't even know where you find quicksand.

Bruce Anthony: I don't know.

Jay Aundrea: And I've been through Bermuda a couple times and I'm just fine like this, so I, I, I get it high level, but looking back, it's like, [00:28:00] what the hell was that for?

Bruce Anthony: I mean, yes, yes. Like when you teach somebody, it's not always straightforward, but there's, there's a method to all of the madness. And as adults, see, this is the problem that I have with adults. When they get older and they have kids and they say, I don't use none of that stuff. That, that they taught me back in the day, like a big thing that they taught us when we were younger is that we weren't gonna have a calculator every time when we get older.

Now, they didn't realize the technology was gonna allow the fact that we had a calculator, but I guarantee you, because we had to learn those basic skills, now we know how to tip properly, right? We know what 20% is of the, of, of, of a bill is so.

Why We Really Learned About Tadpoles & Clouds ☁️🐸🧠

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: Why is it important to learn di diverse topics in school?

Because a exposure, a variety of subjects encourages intellectual curiosity, adaptability, [00:29:00] by introducing students to unfamiliar ideas and experiences. It teaches basic information like gathering and analyst skills, and which is essential for evaluating new information as an adult, which is severely lacking right now.

Jay Aundrea: True

Bruce Anthony: So I always talk about how people don't have critical thinking skills and can't receive information, analyze it, and come to their own logical conclusion because they just don't have that ability to process information. Also, people are piss poor at reading comprehension and this, this is the, the reason why these things are happening.

It is not because the schools are bad. It's not because teachers are bad. It's because the people that make a decision on the education program aren't educators and don't know why this stuff is important. Why is it important for you to learn square dancing? By the way, I did this topic, [00:30:00] I don't know how many episodes ago where I talked about square dancing.

It was the reason why we had to learn square dancing is 'cause of Henry Ford. Henry Ford was getting pissed off. That Ja, yes, because jazz was taken over, the world was taken over the country, and he didn't like all those blacks and Jews. His words having so much influence, and so he introduced it was his, Henry Ford pushed to introduce square dancing, so a little bit of that square dancing in his races.

Not a little bit, the basis behind it is racist, but all this stuff. Is building social, emotional, and practical abilities through activities requiring teamwork, empathy and communication. Just like group science projects or square dancing. So yes, you had to learn about tad pose a quicksand and be and bu the Bermuda Triangle, right?

And you're like, what? This is useless information. But what you had to [00:31:00] do is you had to do a project. Either solo or a group project, which means that you had to go research, you had to go learn about something completely different, and then you had to present it. I was talking to a person today that told me that they had a speech class that was an elective in high school.

I took speech in college. That's the reason why, ladies and gentlemen, when I'm on this show. Though I will mispronounce a word a lot of times you're not gonna hear me say a lot of ah and ums. You'll hear me, you'll do right. Is my favorite thing, but, right, right.

Jay Aundrea: right?

Bruce Anthony: And

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. But right. To me, it, it's a signal to the person I'm talking to that I'm actively listening. Like if you say something right, like I'm, I'm letting you know, I'm listening actively to what you're saying.

Bruce Anthony: Yeah, so like all of this stuff is [00:32:00] built to teach you.

Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.

Critical Thinking: The Real Lesson Behind the Madness 🎓💡🔍

Bruce Anthony: How to become an adult. Why the Bermuda Triangle and Unsolved Mysteries like Amelia Earhart? Because you're exploring Unsolved Mysteries teaches the importance of questioning sources, evaluating evidence and distinguishing between myth and reality, core skills of critical thinking.

Now, once again, as I give you this argument and we look out into the landscape right now.

Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.

Bruce Anthony: Do you see why it's important that you need to learn about the Bermuda Triangle and Amelia Earhart? Because a lot of people out here are not questioning sources. They're not evaluating evidence, and they're not distinguishing between what is real and what is fake.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. I mean, I, I'll be honest. Like my reaction to it fir, first of all it was comedic,

Bruce Anthony: Yeah.

Jay Aundrea: like it very much like [00:33:00] that kind of anti-vaxxer ideology of like, why do we even need to take a vaccine for polio? Nobody even has polio. Because of the vaccine genius. Like, so it's that same kind of kind of thing of like, why do we have to learn this?

I, I think critically just fine. Yeah. Because you learned this, because I spent so much of my young life trying to, honestly, using the Encyclopedia Britannica, trying to figure out if I could figure out where the hell Amelia Earhart was.

Bruce Anthony: Mm.

Jay Aundrea: At the end of the day. At the end of the day, I am pretty sure she did not make it on that flight.

She didn't make it

Bruce Anthony: Okay.

Jay Aundrea: because the, all these conspiracy theories about her starting a new light, I, I don't believe it.

Bruce Anthony: Okay.

Jay Aundrea: 'cause she was doing it for the, she, I mean, you don't become the first. Female to do a transatlantic [00:34:00] flight.dot Well, you know, and that fame and notoriety for her to just, to disappear into, into obscurity like that doesn't make sense.

Like, she, she, so I solved it,

Bruce Anthony: Okay.

Okay, miss Matt Lock.

Jay Aundrea: but, but it's because why I had those critical thinking and problem solving skills. Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: I mean, and, and I remember so much you won't have the calculator with you in the future, and they're right. We had the calculators on our phone, but what teachers were trying to do by taking away the calculators was to teach us to learn how to problem solve. And then through problem solving, foster confidence to be able to tackle problems in the future mentally,

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: right?

So people may think like, well, how do, I don't understand the connection? Real [00:35:00] simple, you know, this algebraic equation. It is very difficult. You can't seem to figure it out. You gotta show your work. That's another reason why I hated teachers who were saying they had to show your work, but you had to show your work because you had to go.

You had to prove that you knew the processes of solving this problem. Now, how does that equate to real life? You got this project at work.

Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.

Wax On, Wax Off: Life Lessons From Karate Kid 🥋✨💪

Bruce Anthony: And one department is on the ball and the other department is not on the ball. This is a problem. How do you solve it? You go back to your problem solving skills that you learned when you couldn't solve that algebraic equation through calculus through a calculator.

Like it, it's not a straight line, but it's teaching you something through. And placing you in environments that you are uncomfortable with, that you have to make your way through. [00:36:00] And by doing right that. That, you know what, I was trying to find an analogy and you got it. For those people who don't understand what my sister just said and the original Karate kid with Ralph Macio, everybody loved watching the Karate Kid TV series watch the first episode.

Mr. Miyagi had him paid in the fence and waxing cars, and, and Ralph Macchio or Daniel son was like, hi, is this gonna teach me how to defend myself? And then he was out there in the, in the karate tournament and he was like. Paint the fence and they was blocking maneuvers and he is like wax on, wax off. It was blocking maneuvers.

So though you may not see how learning this particular thing will help you in the future, trust me, it's there. The square dancing group projects, that's all about one, improving your social skills, which certain generations behind us are severely lacking cooperation, listening, all this stuff and and respect for others.[00:37:00]

Jay Aundrea: yeah.

Bruce Anthony: Right. All this stuff is what it's teaching you, and it's also teaching that there are learning diverse topic. Learning diverse topics isn't about mastering each one for practical use, but about learning how to learn.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: Everybody learns difference. There's visual learners, there's auditory learners, and there's conceptual learning.

That understanding that principles and systems equip students to transfer skills between different subjects and solve real world problems later.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: Open-ended, varied education encourages questioning norms and perspectives, and that's the bedrock of critical thinking. So all this stuff leads to a better adult,

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: hopefully.

And because they, because you can tell, you can tell I [00:38:00] don't blame older people for being confused about the information that they're receiving because technology moved so fast, like within our parents, between so fast in the boomer's generation so fast.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: I mean, in a boomer's generation, they went from

Jay Aundrea: Listening to the radio

Bruce Anthony: I, I think,

Jay Aundrea: for prime time entertainment.

Bruce Anthony: but okay.

May, yes, maybe. But the beginning of television, literally the beginning of television to the point where there are now videos that you can create AI that looks so realistic that you, that you're like, wait a minute, this is real. That happened in their lifetime, so I can understand how they would get confused.

Gen X & Millennials: Why Are We So Confused? 🤷‍♂️📱😵

Bruce Anthony: Our generation. Gen X and millennials. I don't know why we get fooled by this trick oration. It's a bunch of kids. It's not, they're not kids no more. But there's a bunch of adults and that generation just wasn't paying attention in school.

Jay Aundrea: No they wasn't. Yeah. I mean, I don't [00:39:00] know why we talk about Gen X, but like millennials,

Bruce Anthony: I'm a, I'm a, what do they call me is

Jay Aundrea: al.

Bruce Anthony: yeah.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: Yeah.

Jay Aundrea: like. We were in a very unique position in that we were that transition generation from analog to digital like we were. I remember going to the library and looking up things in the card catalog to now I, just Google it

Bruce Anthony: Right,

Jay Aundrea: ask chat,

Bruce Anthony: right.

Jay Aundrea: So. Yeah, that gives us a very unique perspective. I, I understand education obviously needs to be holistic.

Bruce Anthony: You got me. You got me. You got me riled up

Jay Aundrea: the, I know, but at the same time the videos were funny.

Bruce Anthony: the video. No, the videos are funny. Here's the problem. He, he.

Jay Aundrea: [00:40:00] because it was the intensity at which the teacher like delivered this culo nimbus clouds.

Bruce Anthony: you have to make it what you have to make it. If you don't as an As, as somebody who was gonna be an educator who actually only classroom experience I have is student teaching. But you have to make it seem, even if the teacher doesn't believe it was important, you have to make it seem important and interesting.

In order to grab these young people's attention, and I don't even know what it's like now, it's probably extremely a harder than it was for me 25 years ago when I was doing student teaching because the attention span of a person right now is just so short and yes, it is funny. But the problem I saw with the videos is that they were making light of it.

And it was funny. I know there are people out there who are [00:41:00] influencing education policy that believe these things to be true. Like they're all useless and they always talk reading, writing, arithmetic, and it's like, yeah, if you just want to create robots that don't think,

Jay Aundrea: is what they want

Bruce Anthony: yeah. Okay.

Jay Aundrea: They're pretty. these are not dumb people.

Bruce Anthony: No,

Jay Aundrea: but these are not dumb people, and they know exactly what they're doing.

Bruce Anthony: but you have to, you even if, even if you want control now, eventually you're gonna die off. Right? So if you don't, if people don't have these skills, there'll be no future leaders.

Jay Aundrea: They don't care. They

Bruce Anthony: Oh, okay. Yeah. Okay. Maybe you're right.

Jay Aundrea: be here. What do they care? They care about amassing enough wealth so that their descendants will be fine.

Bruce Anthony: Yeah,

Jay Aundrea: and, and other than that, the fu, if these people cared about the future of the [00:42:00] country, they wouldn't do 90% of the things that they do.

Bruce Anthony: especially environmentally here.

Jay Aundrea: Yes.

Bruce Anthony: Alright. The videos are funny. But this is what I'm gonna say. Adults who see who receive diverse education exposure adapt more easily to new tasks and unfamiliar topics in personal and professional life. They approach problems with multiple strategies, not just memorized rules.

They demonstrate higher empathy, social awareness, and creativity. Having a wide ranging education and childhood, regardless of whether specific content seems useless at the time, is essential for nourishing, versatile, thoughtful, and capable adults. This process of. Encountering questioning and learning from different subjects is what truly prepares people for lifelong learning and critical engagement with the world.

So this stuff is important,[00:43:00]

Jay Aundrea: Yes.

Bruce Anthony: what we are losing is high empathy. Social awareness and creativity and you know where that is. Where does that seem prevalent? Where those things, where people demonstrate higher empathy, social awareness, and creativity, what political party does that seem like the majority of people that emphasize those things come from,

Jay Aundrea: Yeah, I mean, not the Republican party,

Bruce Anthony: yeah. No, it's not the Republican party and who. Overwhelmingly votes for Democrats. Aren't those those college graduates?

Jay Aundrea: that's why all of these Ivy League graduates in, in, in Republican spaces are railing against higher education, because they know what, what happens when you learn,

Bruce Anthony: [00:44:00] Yes.

Jay Aundrea: not only do you gain those critical thinking skills, but you, it's just what you said, you Empathy, you develop social awareness.

This is why they don't want history taught in schools because, I'm sorry, I, I don't know anybody when I was in school heard about, you know, when they had that one chapter on enslavement, go, man, I'm, I, it really makes me depressed to be white. No, that these kids look at it and they say, was horrible. I will never be like that.

Bruce Anthony: Mm-hmm.

Jay Aundrea: Right.

Bruce Anthony: And we learned that in Lynchburg, Virginia. We was learning about enslavement in Lynchburg, Virginia. Y'all and I, and I was in the class with nothing but white students. And I'm telling you, when nobody feeling sorry for themselves, it was like, man, this kind, that's ridiculous. That's literally what they were saying.

Jay Aundrea: It, it helped [00:45:00] them to see the world as not just what's within their. Own ecosystem, right? Like other people exist that have different experiences that, and it teaches you to be more aware of that and, and to not center yourself in everything.

Bruce Anthony: Mm-hmm. So for all my parents out there, when your kid comes home and they are learning about tadpoles or some something that you're just like, how is this helping you for the real world? Go back and rewatch this segment specifically, and I'm explaining to you how that particular project that's happening now in their fourth grade class is going to help them when they're a 30 5-year-old female or male or them, or they

Jay Aundrea: Hmm.

Bruce Anthony: is going to help them.

And you want your child to be the best adult that they [00:46:00] can be. So instead of poo-pooing it and getting angry and going to the school board and saying, why are my kids learning this? Joining the project with them, help them get excited, you might create the next super scientist that's going to cure cancer.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. Also, sex education doesn't make kids have sex.

Bruce Anthony: No sex education action.

Jay Aundrea: does

TV

Movies

Bruce Anthony: no, just natural. Just that's just,

Jay Aundrea: It's just a natural

Bruce Anthony: Just a natural thing. Yeah. No, just natural. No, it ain't nothing. Make kids,

Jay Aundrea: your children.

Bruce Anthony: Nothing makes kids want to have sex. Life makes kids want to have sex, so, yeah.

Jay Aundrea: The more they know about it, the smarter they'll be.

Bruce Anthony: Mm-hmm.

Jay Aundrea: That's all.

Bruce Anthony: All right, ladies and gentlemen, that's enough for me lecturing you of why you should stay outta the education system unless you are an educator. But I am gonna lecture you about [00:47:00] why you need to take your shoes off before you walk around in the house. And we gonna get into that next,

Bruce Anthony: all right, Jay, I found this interesting article in the Washington Post is written by Lindsay Bever and is what can happen if you let people wear their Jeremy shoes in your house.

Jay Aundrea: Oh boy.

Bruce Anthony: So you always kind of look at me weird every time I come to your house and I take off my shoes.

'cause I look, I, as soon as you walk in the front door, there's a whole little shoe stand right there.

Jay Aundrea: I got the same one.

Bruce Anthony: Yep. Take off. Take off. But you don't, you don't tell people to take off their shoe.

Jay Aundrea: make them I take my shoes off and typically people follow suit.

Bruce Anthony: Yep.

Jay Aundrea: But don't like mandate it,

Bruce Anthony: You will have to reading this, so [00:48:00] why am I bringing this up?

Why Your Shoes Are Dirtier Than You Think 👟🦠😱

Bruce Anthony: Wearing shoes indoors increases the risk of tracking germs, bacteria, and potential harmful substances in your living space contributing to health issues. Cleanliness concerns and exposures to allergens and toxins. So I have friends that have kids that are just allergic to everything and I say to them, Hey, stop wearing your shoes all through the house.

And they're like, what is that going to do? I'm like, yo, polling and everything is on your shoes. I mean, you gotta bring 'em in the house, but they could at least put 'em where they're just at the front door. I was like, also you are stepping in everything outside and then you just going everything and you just going bring it in the house.

Jay Aundrea: and track it all across your carpets and your rugs.

Bruce Anthony: I have slippers. I got two pairs of slippers.

Jay Aundrea: I saw, I saw you just bought, bought a new pair.

Bruce Anthony: Look, I bought that pair 'cause it's clear that either you or our brother bought the same [00:49:00] pair. I'm going to assume it was our brother. And our brother is serious about comfort. And let me tell you. I put them back. I got 'em on right now. Now that I think about it. They on right now. I forgot I had 'em on.

They that comfortable. I forgot I had something on my feet, but I only wear 'em inside the house. I got slippers now that I wear outside of the house. Just to take the trash out or go downstairs to the lobby, but now they don't go past my kitchen. 'cause I walk in the front door, my kitchen is right there.

They don't go past my kitchen. Matter of fact, they really don't go past that front entranceway. And then I put on my slippers. It's like Mr. Rogers over here. I'm not tracking no dirt and grime and, and nastiness.

Jay Aundrea: My indoor slippers do not go outdoors.

Bruce Anthony: Can't do it.

Jay Aundrea: and I have a pair of Crocs that I, that's right in front of my little shoe stand. I jump into the Crocs, take the dogs out, or go get the mail or take out the trash, come back in, jump out the crocs, put the slippers [00:50:00] back

Bruce Anthony: Mm-hmm.

Jay Aundrea: the slippers don't,

Bruce Anthony: Mm-hmm.

Jay Aundrea: the slippers don't go outside. this is actually, I don't know if you've seen in the Amazon cart, this is actually my third pair

Bruce Anthony: Hmm.

Jay Aundrea: of these same exact slippers One time, I actually accidentally wore them outside

Bruce Anthony: And that was it.

Jay Aundrea: and I was just like, that's it.

Bruce Anthony: Mm-hmm.

Jay Aundrea: then another time, I think one of the dogs had an accident in the house.

I stepped on something. I was like, no,

Bruce Anthony: Yep. That's it. Yep.

Jay Aundrea: They're like $13. I'm gonna go buy a new pair. Because these are, these are no longer house approved.

Bruce Anthony: Right.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. It doesn't matter how much Clorox I rub on the bottom of them, I'll never feel

Bruce Anthony: I'll never feel clean. Nope.

Bacteria, Toxins & Fecal Matter: A Floor's Nightmare 🧫😨💩

Bruce Anthony: So shoes worn, outdoors, pick up dirt, bacteria, pathogens from various sources, which can be transferred to your home floors. These types of germs commonly found on the shoe soles can potentially lead to illness or allergic [00:51:00] reactions, especially in in individuals with weakened immune systems.

In addition to the germs, shoes can carry pollen, dust, allergens. And asthma for those sensitive to indoor air quality. Some studies also highlight that substances like as lead dust, pesticides, or dangerous chemicals can be trapped in the shoes treads, and then brought into the home. Poisoning long, posing long-term health risk.

Yo. Basically everything that's outside you are bringing inside. We talk about it all the time. This is the reason why we shower before we go to bed. We don't bring outside into our everyday presence. Well, you have to, but like when you go to sleep, you ain't gotta sleep when outside. That's camping.

Jay Aundrea: don't get in your bed with outdoor clothes on. That's, that's, that's a huge thing for me. I do not get in my bed with clothes that have been in the elements.[00:52:00]

Bruce Anthony: I don't even like,

Jay Aundrea: my clothes when I get home. 'cause I.

Bruce Anthony: I. I don't even, like I have, I have a shirt and I'm sad because it's about to be a hole in the elbow and it's eventually, I'm gonna have to get rid of the shirt. You've seen it 'cause I brought it to your house when I stayed there. It's my sleep shirt. It's a like a t-shirt, long sleeve t-shirt hoodie with Superman emblem.

And I had two of them, but I was like, I gave one to the, to the, you know, to the needy, to the less fortunate. I wish I had it back 'cause they don't even make this anymore. And it's my sleep shirt. It is on my bed right now because when I get up in the morning, I take it off, put it back in the bed, and everybody's like, well, Bruce, you sweat during the night.

But I sweat on my sheets and it gets washed. Okay? It gets washed. Nothing else from outside. Comes in my bed. Matter of fact, when I take my shower, I don't even put the shirt on to go get a [00:53:00] drink outta the kitchen.

Jay Aundrea: M

Bruce Anthony: The shirt is in the room. I, when I take my shower, I don't even wanna walk around throughout the house before I get into bed.

It's shower, bedroom, bed. That's it.

Jay Aundrea: Yes. Yeah, yeah. No, I feel you on that. I, so I'll spend, like, say I'm in the house

Bruce Anthony: Mm-hmm.

Jay Aundrea: And, you know, I got my slippers on.

Bruce Anthony: You got 'em all.

Jay Aundrea: I have a sensory thing. I don't like being barefoot. I used to like it when I was a child. I don't like it now.

Bruce Anthony: Yeah, you really did like it when you was a kid.

Jay Aundrea: I loved being barefoot and

Bruce Anthony: ass.

Jay Aundrea: can't stand feeling things on the bottom of my feet.

But I wear socks, you know, indoors, I wear socks. Them same socks that I've been wearing all day, they've been in my slippers, haven't even been on the floor. Those are not the socks I'm getting into bed with.

Bruce Anthony: Oh, no, no, no, no, no. It's special socks. It, the socks are on my bed right now. Yeah. The socks. Yeah. The,

Jay Aundrea: I can't. [00:54:00] No,

Bruce Anthony: no,

Jay Aundrea: them socks all day.

They've been in my slippers all day.

Bruce Anthony: they've been in the slippers. They

Jay Aundrea: those in my bed.

Bruce Anthony: now, people out there gonna trip because we have people that listen to the show. It's like, you don't even need to shower all, all, every day. Somebody said to me, I, I can't remember who it was, somebody said to me that they read a study.

Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.

Bruce Anthony: That you could take two showers a day, but the one of the showers doesn't need to be with soap. You can just let the water hit you and it'll run all the dirt. And I said, sir, it was a gentleman. I do Now I do remember who said it to me, it was an older gentleman. I said, sir, you could do that if you want to,

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: you might actually be true, but I don't think it is either.

But I was like, even if you are true, don't nothing hurt. For me to use that soap? Well, no. I mean eventually, well he was like, eventually, you know, you degrade your skin and stuff like that and when you get older, I was like, I, there's a reason why black don't crack and we've [00:55:00] been using soap and washcloths for years.

Okay, I'm gonna stick with that Then the, just get in the shower and rinsing off. Nah, Uhuh, you got the scrub. You got the scrub. Yeah,

Jay Aundrea: got to scrub.

Bruce Anthony: he was.

Jay Aundrea: was taught to bathe. That's how I still bathe. You got to scrub, period. I'm sorry. Before we started washing our hands, people was dropping like flies. S Typhoid. Mary was out here having people laid up. Why? Because this wasn't washing her hands. The whole, the pandemic started and we had to like literally tell people, wash your hands.

That's crazy. Work to me. Like

Bruce Anthony: They had to teach people how to watch. The people didn't know. People didn't know. People still don't do it. People just put the soap in their hand, do a little bit of this, and, and they done. I'm like, no, you, you know, you got to put, you gotta get the soap. You gotta lather in your hands. And then every palm of your hands, you dig your [00:56:00] fingernails in and you kind of circle, get that soap underneath your fingernails.

That's the reason why your fingernails are dirty. You know what, a lot of dudes, this is gonna be real graphic. So ladies and gentlemen, if you got kids, go ahead and pause it for a quick second. Okay. Pause it. Okay, good. There's a lot of dudes out here.

Jay Aundrea: I mean, pausing, it ain't going to do nothing. They're gonna play again and you still gonna be talking right at the same

Bruce Anthony: Oh yeah.

Jay Aundrea: turn the volume

Bruce Anthony: To turn the volume down or pa pause it, pause it, and take the kids away. And then bring the kids back. Dudes out here don't begin cleaning up under they fingernails, right? Don't wash their hands regularly and want to be touching on the female body parts lead to all type of infections, all type of infections.

Jay Aundrea: got that? That UTI?

Bruce Anthony: That UTI is because he had poo poo in his fingertips

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: because dudes out here, there was what was it? Tom? Tom. Sarah. Sarah. He's a [00:57:00] comedian. Tom, Sarah G. Sarah gca. You, you would know him if you seen him. He has a podcast with another comedian, white guy, big guy. He's funny too. Always got a shirt off. And he was talking about, yeah, before the pandemic.

I didn't really wa wash my hands like that after I used the bathroom. And I said, wait a minute. And his co-host said, wait a minute. One, number one, or number one, or number two. 'cause some guys would be like, if I'm doing number one, then I don't really need to wash my hands. Which yes you do. Okay. He was like, for both.

Unless I got something on my hand, I didn't wash my hands. And I was like, y'all, you always got something on your hands. Wash your damn hands.

Jay Aundrea: something on your hands.

Bruce Anthony: Keep my hands nasty.

Jay Aundrea: just the fact that you're in the bathroom. Touching surfaces in the bathroom. You got something on your hands.

Bruce Anthony: get me started. Don't get me started on having your toothbrush out.

Jay Aundrea: people fist bump. This is why y'all wanna, [00:58:00] y'all wanna know why?

Because listen, this is why we fist bump. It is not 'cause we're cool. Yeah, we are cool, but we fist bump. 'cause don't nobody wanna shake y'all hand because we've been in the bathroom and we see you just doing a little quick rinse. If you do that and walking out and I say something, I'll be like, you not going wash your hands. Does you forget? Or you just gonna touch that door and touch all the, everything in the building. Touch the elevator buttons. You just touching everything and you ain't put, not nary a drop of soap

Bruce Anthony: Not nary

Jay Aundrea: On them digits.

Bruce Anthony: so. The, the, the point we were getting back to the shoes,

Jay Aundrea: Yes.

Bruce Anthony: experts. Experts, and once again, this is from the Washington Post.

How to Keep Your Home Clean Without the Drama 🧹✨🙏

Bruce Anthony: Experts genuinely recommend implementing, implementing a no shoe policy [00:59:00] indoors to minimize all the risk of you bringing in the outdoor stuff, especially in homes with children.

'cause remember you got little children, they crawling on the floor, they putting their hands in their mouth all the time.

Jay Aundrea: Yes.

Bruce Anthony: gonna get 'em? Kids type four fever. Okay.

Jay Aundrea: Also, why y'all be letting them babies crawl around on the floor in public places?

Bruce Anthony: public places. Okay. I thought you was about to say it in the house, but public places, I don't get it either.

Jay Aundrea: I mean, look at it, it'll be a baby on the floor at a restaurant, and I'm like, do you know what's on this floor? Ugh. Just a kid.

Bruce Anthony: And this whole idea.

Jay Aundrea: on this floor and I'm grown.

Bruce Anthony: Right. And this whole idea, we trying to build up the immune system. Who the hell you trying to build? Thor?

Jay Aundrea: just going to school will build up their immune

Bruce Anthony: Yes. Yes.

Jay Aundrea: They'll get sick.

Bruce Anthony: they, they gonna get sick.

Jay Aundrea: you don't have to. it. Help it [01:00:00] alone. You don't need that. world will do that.

Bruce Anthony: All right. So. Everybody that comes to visit me in my house, when you see me take my shoes off, when I enter the house, that's the sign for you to take your shoes off. And I love it when people walk in. It's like, should I take my shoes off? I was like, well, you see what the standard is in the house?

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: So excuse me, I, I'm going, I'm going to judge you for not taking your shoes off more than if you got some holes in your socks.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah, I don't care

Bruce Anthony: I don't care about that.

Jay Aundrea: got holes in them. I have two dogs who love to chew my socks.

Bruce Anthony: No.

Jay Aundrea: have holes in them. I ain't buying no new socks. Why? They just gonna chew 'em up again.

Bruce Anthony: Six pack of Hays ain't that expensive. I think it's like $6.

Jay Aundrea: I went and bought like a, 'cause you know I live in the hood so you can get you a 20 pack of socks for $10.

Bruce Anthony: Them socks wasn't no good.

Jay Aundrea: The dogs ate

Bruce Anthony: Yeah.

Jay Aundrea: were fine. Their socks were fine. The dogs [01:01:00] ate 'em. So

Bruce Anthony: What.

Jay Aundrea: I just got holes in my socks. It is what it is.

Bruce Anthony: Okay. That's pretty close, but, but Jay, but basically ladies and gentlemen, don't let people walk around with shoes on in your house. And if they are insistent upon wearing the shoes, they can get the hell out.

Jay Aundrea: You can get the head up.

Bruce Anthony: Get they.

Jay Aundrea: slippers for you. Don't worry if

Bruce Anthony: That's what I should have. Mm-hmm.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah, if you have to have things

Bruce Anthony: Community slippers though? Mm-hmm.

Jay Aundrea: it washed

Bruce Anthony: Oh, okay.

Jay Aundrea: and I hope people got socks on.

Bruce Anthony: I ain't got no socks on in my slippers right now,

Jay Aundrea: Oh,

Bruce Anthony: but these are my slippers.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah, but it's just collecting your foot. Sweat.

Bruce Anthony: It is because I'm sweating right now. 'cause typically I would, but not right now. I didn't feel like being restricted with socks anyway. Jay, what do you wanna tell these people out here?

Jay Aundrea: Wow. I feel like I said it all.

Bruce Anthony: You did you at last week? Your word count relatively low this week. This week. [01:02:00] Hi. So good job they got there.

Jay Aundrea: not, I'm not as stressed out. Midterms are over.

Bruce Anthony: Mm-hmm.

Jay Aundrea: The countdown on my calendar says 42 days to graduation,

Bruce Anthony: Yes. I'm gonna be there.

Jay Aundrea: yes.

Bruce Anthony: But on that note, ladies and gentlemen, I want to thank you for listening. I want to thank you for watching, and until next time, as always, I'll holler.

Woo. That was a hell of a show. Thank you for rocking with us here on Unsolicited Perspectives with Bruce Anthony. Now, before you go, don't forget to follow, subscribe, like, comment, and share our podcast. Wherever you're listening or watching it to it, pass it along to your friends. If you enjoy it, that means the people that you rock, we'll enjoy it also.

So share the wealth, share the knowledge, share the noise. For all those people that say, well, I don't have a YouTube. If you have a Gmail account, you have a YouTube. Subscribe to our YouTube channel where you can actually watch our video podcast and YouTube exclusive content. But the [01:03:00] real party is on our Patreon page after Hours Uncensored and talking straight ish after Hours.

Uncensored is another show with my sister, and once again, the key word there is uncensored. Those are exclusively on our Patreon page. Jump onto our website@unsolicitedperspective.com for all things us. That's where you can get all of our audio video, our blogs. And even buy our merch. And if you really feel generous and want to help us out, you can donate on our donations page.

Donations go strictly to improving our software and hardware so we can keep giving you guys good content that you can clearly listen to and that you can clearly see. So any donation would be appreciative. Most importantly, I wanna say thank you, thank you, thank you for listening and watching and supporting us, and I'll catch you next time.

Audi 5,000 Peace.
