Bloopers, Body Image Truths, and “I Don’t Like Going Anywhere” Era
20 Plays6 days ago
We crack open the vault for a full After Hours Uncensored episode packed with podcast bloopers, behind-the-scenes chaos, and unfiltered sibling energy. Jay drops a mid-show confession, Bruce reacts, and the conversation shifts from a viral custody clip, child support debates, and internet accountability culture to the Topgolf Germantown shooting reaction. Then it gets deeper: the “pause” language debate, allyship vs. anti-homophobia, and LGBTQ accountability. We also unpack body image struggles, masculinity, burnout, introvert life, aging, and Bruce’s “I don’t like going anywhere” era. Real talk. Real laughs.

00:00:56
Speaker
But that's enough of the intro. Let's get to the show.
Milestone Reflections and Special Episode
00:01:02
Speaker
We are rapidly approaching the 300th episode. we are rapidly approaching the three hundredth episode It is an accomplishment that I'm very proud of.
00:01:15
Speaker
ah Quite honestly, I am tired and tried to come up with topics to talk about by myself. And so I kind of mailed this one in, not even phoned it in. I kind of mailed this one in.
00:01:28
Speaker
But in me mailing it in, I'm giving you guys a special treat. And after I was uncensored. Now, I've done this before, giving you either sneak peeks or snippets. This is a full episode. This episode was recorded two and a half years ago.
00:01:43
Speaker
That's how much content we have on our Patreon. We have enough content to stretch almost, no, definitely three years worth of content on our Patreon and our YouTube membership. So once again.
00:01:57
Speaker
Go to uncensoredperspectives.com. You can find a link to the YouTube membership, the link to our Patreon. You could do one other or the other. All of this stuff behind the scenes, all the After Hours Uncensored, which are our uncensored shows, obviously because it's After Hours Uncensored. With me and my sister, I'm giving you guys little sneak peeks. Look, I...
00:02:19
Speaker
went back and watched this episode because I had to clear some things and make sure that we, you know, didn't say any names about certain people. You know, some of these, some of the topics weren't too dated.
00:02:30
Speaker
And I think it's funny. I don't typically watch the shows or watch them back. And so to to to listen to something that we recorded two and a half years ago, that was, that really made me chuckle.
00:02:44
Speaker
it's i'm I'm kind of proud of it. So go ahead, guys. Check out this full After Hours Uncensored. It's almost 40 minutes long. And then after that, a couple of recent shows, you guys probably pick up on it way more than I notice that I do it.
Humor and Speech Impediment
00:03:00
Speaker
I have a speech impediment. for the most part, I do a good job hiding my list, hiding, ah my inability to enunciate words.
00:03:10
Speaker
A good friend of mine says she listens to the show all the time. She's like, you got a lot of mess ups and you know what? That's just that it is what it is at this point, 300 episodes. Plus, I don't know how many different episodes of after hours on the sensor and my talk is straight ish, which I don't really do anymore, but I'm going to get back into doing it. Um,
00:03:31
Speaker
It's not even going to be talking straight issue anymore. It's called messy. And that's on a YouTube membership. But yeah, I mess up on words all the time. Sometimes it's freaking hilarious. And recently I've been doing it a lot lately. um I don't know what's going on age being tired, doing too many shows, doing too much work.
00:03:51
Speaker
I don't know what it is. But it's been real bad lately, but it's also been low-key hilarious. So after ah after the After Hours Uncensored, there'll be some stuff that got cut that I'm going to present to you that we will start to put on our YouTube membership as well. It'll be behind-the-scenes stuff of when we're recording, the stuff that that we're talking about in between the segments, the prep, all that stuff. It'll all be on our YouTube membership. So...

00:05:24
Speaker
Well, let me tell you. It's not like it normally is. I i got got what that was transparent with you guys now. am i I knew you was fucking high. Yeah. Yeah.
00:05:35
Speaker
Why did you do that? don't know. God damn it, Jay. I knew you was high. didn't think I was going to be that high. Yeah, no I was like, why isn't she fucking talking? I was talking. oh I'm telling you, Jay, you were not talking that much.
00:05:52
Speaker
I feel like I was talking. I mean, you were saying some stuff, but like that completely disproves our whole argument that weed is okay. Because you obviously cannot do that. I don't even know why you did that.
00:06:05
Speaker
I don't know either. um had It was a while ago. I thought I'd come down by now. I thought
Custody Battle Story
00:06:13
Speaker
you had to work today. Yeah.
00:06:18
Speaker
Okay. I can't get to my work day. Well, I can't carry this damn show because my lips is its on fire and I'm dry I thought put the Vaseline on. I did, but, you know, it don't help immediately. Yeah.
00:06:32
Speaker
Well, uh... Yeah, tell me about this. me about the dude and whatever and what he was doing with a woman. So... yeah You like that setup? That's terrible.
00:06:44
Speaker
ah So... Let me think. So, this is a guy who was with a girl. ah They got pregnant.
00:06:55
Speaker
I believe he left... And she tried to put him on child support. He didn't want to pay child support. So he petitioned for full custody and she didn't fight him.
00:07:10
Speaker
And so he got full custody. Okay. She has said several times in court that she does not want to, she does not want to be a parent. She does not want anything to do. Why'd she have the kid then?
00:07:24
Speaker
that Probably be he wanted a baby or something. She said in a text message that I love their child, but I hate you so much that it's our way.
00:07:39
Speaker
wow And that I'm not going to fight. ah She needs to deal with that hatred, number one.
Media Consumption Preferences
00:07:45
Speaker
Yes. yeah She needs to deal with that hatred. But okay. But it's just the reaction of if he tried that day, the day the video went viral, he tried to drop his son off for her weekly visitation and she didn't answer the door.
00:08:05
Speaker
Now again,
00:08:08
Speaker
why even... Why even attempt that when she has said several times in court that she doesn't want to be a parent? maybe he didn't think Maybe he didn't think that she was like being honest or whatever.
00:08:21
Speaker
I guess. but um So it's just him kind of ranting in the car about you know people not taking care of their responsibilities and the response from women.
00:08:33
Speaker
Yeah, because didn't he bounce? Yes. Yes. Then he originally bounced. He originally bounced. But then he came back around. No, because she wanted to put him on child support and he didn't want to child support.
00:08:46
Speaker
he petitioned for full custody. He probably didn't think he was going to get it. No, he definitely, because typically men don't. No. um But she chose not to fight him on it.
00:08:59
Speaker
Okay. So it's just a response from women who are in similar situations. And when we complain about child's father not stepping up, we get told we should have chose better. So a lot of the comments, the comment section are, he should have chose better. Oh, if you kept your legs close, you might not be in this situation. Yeah. I don't really, I mean,
00:09:31
Speaker
The only person to ever suffer is the child. The child the one that's really, yeah. And, I mean, he can hit her off for child support. He can get some yeah and get some help. You know, if he got full custody, I mean, she got to pay child support. so Right.
00:09:44
Speaker
You know? And and it's ah it was a boy or a girl? I believe it's a boy. I believe it's a little boy. I mean, he got his little man-man. He don't want to take care of his little man-man. He probably, look, if you if you want some help, just go ahead and boo up.
00:09:58
Speaker
Yeah. That's probably going to be your only solution here. Yeah, that's going to be it. Fuck off. Yeah, that's going to be it. All right. Well, I mean, yeah, there wasn't that was diddly-dabbling. And we would have had to play it.
00:10:11
Speaker
And that clip was long. Yeah, it was a long clip. It was long. It was so long, i was just like, all right, I get the point. I don't want to listen to this no more. Yeah. Because it was just, it was really It was like four minutes. And I was like, all right, man, like, this is a YouTube video. Four minutes is not that long. It's not that long if I'm like looking at it on a television. If I'm looking at it on my
Safety Concerns and Comedy Mishaps
00:10:29
Speaker
phone, I don't want to watch something for that long.
00:10:31
Speaker
You know what? That's fair. Because I will find myself skipping forward if... If I'm like watching this a particularly long TikTok or something, I will skip. you're right. Yeah. It's something about that little that little phone. Like, i't know how I don't know how this this young generation be watching whole movies on the phone. I'm like, no, I can't do that.
00:10:52
Speaker
Give me a big. I don't even know if ah i could I could force myself to watch a whole movie on my iPad if I have to force myself. I would still prefer to do it on my laptop because the screen is bigger.
00:11:04
Speaker
I have watched a whole movie on my, I mean, I watched it on flights. On flights. But I'm talking about like if you at home.
00:11:13
Speaker
Yeah, I've watched whole movies on my iPad. Why? When you're at home. I know. i have a TV in every room and they are never on. This is the first time, this is the only time this TV is ever on.
00:11:29
Speaker
So you just, so you, you just want to be like dead and have TVs all over the place. It's for the guests. It's not for me. You ain't got no guests no more. No. I mean, like, when mom comes to visit, people come visit me.
00:11:42
Speaker
It's for the guests. Like, their TVs are for them. They're not for me. I don't watch television. Just to let you know, ah somebody got shot at that Topgolf that we were talking about going to.
00:11:55
Speaker
The one at PG or the one The one at Germantown. Somebody got shot? yes Somebody got shot. At a Topgolf? At Topgolf. Yeah, hold on. Let me find a let me find a news article. But yeah, somebody got shot at a Topgolf in Germantown. Not too long ago.
00:12:13
Speaker
um Hold on. Let me find it. So are we not doing Topgolf? No, we we still going to We just got to make sure that we don't stay past midnight. Okay. And just stay short? That's it. yeah Well, I ain't got no strap. you know then that That ain't my lifestyle. do that.
00:12:30
Speaker
Yeah, I'm calling the police. don't know. I'm going to call the authorities. And I will press everything. I'm calling the All right. Yes. Topgolf Germantown employee shot shortly after mid midnight. An employee? Yep. Shortly after midnight, Tuesday at 12.06 a.m., Montgomery County police responded to a report of a shooting at Topgolf in Germantown. Police say on Tuesday, August 29th. So it was... Wait a minute.
00:12:59
Speaker
It was this week. it Oh, my God. On Tuesday, August, we and I had approximately 12.06 a.m. Two days ago. No, literally, it was yesterday. Because 12.06. No. Okay. It's 12.06 on Tuesday. So. Yeah. It's 12.06. It was Tuesday. um MCP, Montgomery County Police Officers, responded to Topgolf, uh,
00:13:23
Speaker
and It says the address, but I'm not gonna get the address. The preliminary investigation has revealed that an unknown suspect fired his firearm for reasons that are still under investigation. And two Topgolf employees, adult males, were shot. One was shot in the leg and the other one was shot in the torso area. beau fifth that Both victims were transported to the area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The suspect left the scene in an unknown vehicle.
00:13:47
Speaker
I'm going be honest. Of all the places to shoot me, please don't shoot me my legs. Charlie Murphy told us on a Dave Chappelle show that you shoot somebody in the leg that they can't charge you with attempted murder.
00:14:03
Speaker
You shoot below the waist, you can't be charged with attempted murder. I just feel like there's nowhere you can get hit on your leg that doesn't shatter something. kneecap, shin. No, you can you can get shot through the thigh and it can go through and through.
00:14:17
Speaker
Yes, but then you're worried. The fear is the femoral artery. You could end up bleeding out. Yeah, you could end up bleeding out, but it can go through and Don't shoot me in my legs. like i'm and You would rather get shot in the torso?
00:14:29
Speaker
Yes. Nah, I don't know about that. Yeah, no. Don't shoot me my legs. I don't want to be cast. Don't shoot me. Hey, step one. Don't shoot.
Personal Growth and Upcoming Interviews
00:14:41
Speaker
You know what? I think I am going to edit the episode that we just did. And I'm going to put a disclaimer at the beginning. Hey, ladies and gentlemen, just let you know, I found out after we filmed that this episode that my sister was high.
00:14:53
Speaker
So enjoy. I think you're going to go back and watch it and be like, oh, she talked a lot more than I thought she did. No, ah Jay, I'm telling you, there were I would do the normal thing that I normally do, would say something and look at you because I'm waiting for your response. You just like this. And there were some long pauses that I'm going to have to edit out because because you just didn't say anything. And I was like, okay, well, guess was waiting for you to continue. Yeah. No, it didn't. Because usually you have notes and you read your notes.
00:15:22
Speaker
And then I say something and then you say something. Yeah, i read the notes and finished reading the notes. And then because i I look off screen, then I look at and on the screen and look at you and you was just like.
00:15:33
Speaker
And also, i see you on a delay. So if you're silent. Yeah. See, fix your internet. Because your internet.
00:15:45
Speaker
Because your internet. Sometimes, like right now, your video is fine, but other times, sometimes your video cuts in because your internet is bad. No, never have an issue with anybody else.
00:15:57
Speaker
They just don't tell you. No, unless their internet is bad. They just don't tell you. Okay. All right.
00:16:12
Speaker
I'm doing my first interview on Tuesday. No, I know that's not your... Oh, you're being interviewed. Yeah, I'm being interviewed. Oh, cool. Yeah. where first on Well, I interviewed... i want to say Rick. Yes, Rick Clemons. He was ah the guy that that talked about coming out later in life. Yes. Yes.
00:16:33
Speaker
And he has his own podcast. And he was like, I would love to have you in a podcast. And I was like, this is the first time that I've ever accepted. So i was like, yeah yeah. Because the interview with him was really good. And I thought he was a a dope person.
00:16:46
Speaker
And I was like, yeah, I'll do a home and home. That's what they call it in basketball, a home and home. I was like, I'll do home and home. don't know what we're going to talk about. I'm like, eventually you guys send me the questions of what you're going to be asking me, right? Like, yeah. Like, what's this interview going to be about? Right. Because I don't know what we're going talk about. So I'm hoping I'm going to reach out to him. I'm going to reach out to him tomorrow tomorrow's Friday and like, yo, Rick, like, we're meeting on Tuesday. Like, what are we going talk about? Yeah. um Because if you're asking if you're asking me to tell you about my life, it's going to short fucking interview. Because I already did that. yeah I already did that episode. yeah And even in that episode. That's what I was wondering. I was like, is he interviewing
00:17:26
Speaker
Because that's... I'd like him give real short answers. If he wants to talk about my personal, personal life. If he wants to talk to me about like my evolution of how I went from being homophobic to where I consider myself an ally, um it be it I would really like to talk to...
00:17:48
Speaker
gay people and transgender people, people in the LGBTQ plus community to really see if I'm really an ally or if I just talk a bunch of shit. Yeah. I would, I would. hard to know sometimes. Yeah. You know, it's hard because there are some white folks out there that be like, I'm an ally for black people. And I'm like, no, you're just not racist, but you're not anti-racist. There's a difference. Yes. ah I think I'm anti-homophobic and transphobic. I think I am, but I don't, I do tell people,
00:18:15
Speaker
I'm not a big fan of saying like pause. Cause the connotation is you just said something that would be considered flamboyant, homosexual, which would be derogatory towards a male.
00:18:28
Speaker
Yeah. And I'm like, well, that's offensive. yeah So I don't, because the whole implication is that. So I had to school somebody recently. it was like, you can't say pause anymore. I was like, yo, it's just like, it's it's not the N word, but it's I'm trying to think of something that's equivalent to black people, what pause would be to gay people.
00:18:49
Speaker
Um... Ghetto? No. i got yeah Maybe hood. That's yeah real hood. Okay, so something like that. And you'd be like, yo, don't say no shit like that to me. That's a offensive. right so yeah So when I broke it down to them, they kind of understood, but that's not going stop it from saying pause. And how myself...
00:19:08
Speaker
I have to catch myself from saying it because I've said it all throughout my life. And it's just like when you're saying something that's supposedly suspect. And then you have Cameron who came out with his with his ah podcast, It Is What It Is. And all they talk about him and Mace, all they do is like, wow, that's crazy. you pause. Like for everything. yeah And this is like, God, it's funny, but it's funny because I'm not gay. And so I'm like...
00:19:36
Speaker
damn should i even be laughing at this but it's funny but obviously there's some white people out there that listen to racist jokes that they find funny but it's still a racist joke so it's like man i'd be so i'm like am i really an ally or do i just be talking a bunch of shit so that would be if he wants to talk about that i am more than willing to talk about that yeah all day long if he's like so tell me about your childhood nope new she No, thanks. No. him you ain't getting next getting that yeah and You ain't getting that type of information out How was your relationship with your parents? Nope.
00:20:10
Speaker
Nope. We're not going to go there. I'll refer you back to episode 37. It was episode 50. It was episode 50? Jay, goddamn, you are literally really high right now. Yes, it was literally the 50th episode. i Yes. Yes, thank you.
00:20:28
Speaker
Jesus. When are we going to hit 100? This is 74. this is seventy four Really? Yeah, it's 74. That's crazy. So 13 more weeks, but it won't be 13 more weeks. So like three months. So it will hit it sometime in December, early December.
00:20:44
Speaker
Okay. Maybe it'll be middle December because I feel like we're going to take Thanksgiving week off. Okay. I feel like that's a week to take off. I think, are we going to try to do one where we're in the same room? I want to do that for the
Holiday Plans and Introversion
00:21:00
Speaker
100th episode. And since it'll be around Christmas,
00:21:03
Speaker
Yeah. I don't have much Christmas plans. So this might be the year that you have to come up here for Christmas because everybody will be up here this year.
00:21:13
Speaker
Okay. you Damn it. also means I can't do my little, you know, our brother moving back kind of screwed my plans. Cause I can always say, i can always say during the holidays, you know,
00:21:28
Speaker
Hey, mom and dad, I'm not going visit either one of y'all because it feels like it's a service to both of y'all and I'm not going driving all over the place. So going to spend the holidays by myself. And now our brother is here. So he going to do something. And then he's be like, well, your brother is coming. I'm like, that ain't got shit to do with me. I'm going to stay with my kids.
00:21:48
Speaker
Ain't got shit to do with me. I'm going get some Chinese food. Well, I'm happy for you, but that don't have shit to do with me. That don't have shit to do with me.
00:21:59
Speaker
Not a damn thing. but ah So i i would imagine I would imagine that dad will probably send you a plane ticket to fly up here h for Christmas because we'll all be up here and we'll be forced to all see each other.
00:22:18
Speaker
We'll be forced. It'll be a force. Or, or you can just come down here for Christmas and we can just film here. What? That would make no sense because that would leave the three of them up here and then the two of us down there.
00:22:33
Speaker
Yes. And they can spend a lovely Christmas together and we can film the hundredth episode. Well, we'll see how that goes because. Well, no, actually mom won't be, just she should be in Puerto Rico. I think. What? You know what?
00:22:50
Speaker
Okay. ah well We'll see. Me traveling. You know, I was talking shit about going to Memphis during ha ah Halloween, but as long as Crypto is acting like he is right now, I ain't leaving.
00:23:02
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. I ain't leaving. That's fair. I ain't going nowhere because that would be the last thing I want is to go someplace and then i come back and my dog is dead. Yeah. Well, I will be back ah for dad's birthday and then I'm coming back again the following month for ah
00:23:23
Speaker
Ali Sadiq. ah Okay. young you got I'm not going to that, by the way. Why? I don't want to. All right. yeah I just, I was like, yeah I really don't like going to comedy shows. I really don't.
00:23:37
Speaker
Really? Nah, I really... I don't like... love going to comedy shows. I don't like going to see events. I don't like going to see... i don't like going to see concerts.
00:23:48
Speaker
I don't like going to the movies no more. No, because I gotta pee all the time. I'm gonna be honest. I'm gonna be honest. I'm not... Okay. Did I like the Beyonce concert? Yes. But was it just a concert?
00:24:00
Speaker
Also, yes. Like, like, so the fact that people hype it up so much, and then I, like, as I'm into it, and then she gets a couple songs and I'm like, Oh, it's a concert. And then I go sit down. I'm like, I will say we're going to be here for a while. yeah I will say what what when I when I went to go see Janet, it was just Janet. I don't remember them being any open acts i know or we got there late.
00:24:26
Speaker
And so I was up on my feet the entire time because I was on the floor. Yeah. um But yes, you remember like when we first moved to D.C. and dad would always make us go to the car. I say make us. But he did. i did not want to go see bad boys in the family.
00:24:41
Speaker
Oh, you didn't want to that? No, I didn't want to. That was a good concert. It was a very good concert. And I'm glad that actually went. But I did not want to go because I wasn't a bad boy and a family fan. Well, let's be honest. there is very few if it was somebody else's idea, you didn't like to go.
00:24:57
Speaker
I didn't like being forced to go. i i didn't have a choice. We bought the ticket. We're going. No, we didn't buy the ticket. that That one, I think we took our cousins to.
00:25:08
Speaker
Yes. But I did one. I was excited to go see um ah East 1999. Think about back in the days when Bone Thugs and Harmony. You talking about the Bone Thugs? I'm trying to remember the name. You think most obscure songs that they did. No, East 99. East 99 is one of my favorite songs. East could have said first of the month. You could have said... I don't like the commercial hits. I like East 99.
00:25:35
Speaker
Okay. um But Bone Thugs, I don't remember... Did you, were you there with Ball Thoughts? Yeah. Cause I remember all the adults left cause it was like a giant skull smoking a joint.
00:25:49
Speaker
And was- Who else was there? Who else before? Uncle Kenny was there. Oh, who else was before? Yeah. It was, it was Puff Daddy and the whole family. And I just remember- That was the same concert?
00:26:01
Speaker
Are you sure? I think there was two different concerts. i've I've only been to maybe three concerts in my entire life. Well, one we took our cousins to because they were in town visiting us. Yes. That was the, I remember Bone Thugs closed that show because cause Dad, Uncle Kenny, Mom, they all left.
00:26:18
Speaker
They did. And they went out and they just stood outside because it was like it little smoky and loud and they couldn't take it. Oh, because they was smart it they were sparking up in that concert. Yes. And USA Arena, oh, USA Arena. Yes. so But that that was i was a fun concert. But you don't like going to events. That's such a specific thing. But that, yeah, that's crazy. Well, what about the basketball basketball games?
00:26:48
Speaker
I don't go to basketball games anymore.
00:26:52
Speaker
remember Remember when Dad had the Eagles and the professional football, Washington professional football team tickets and you and Dad went? Yeah. He had extra tickets for me. i was like, I'm not going out there. It's cold. Yeah, it was freezing.
00:27:03
Speaker
Yeah, no. ah Me and my ex, we got tickets. There were tickets that were offered to me to go see the Bears and the Washington. They're commanders now. The Washington commanders play. And she went. I was like, i that's cold. I didn't go to Obama's inauguration. It was too cold. if the if it what That was a cold day also. It was.
00:27:22
Speaker
I don't like events that i if I can watch it on TV in the comforts of my own home, I'm going to choose that. i i will The only time I will go to the movie theater is when I have no other choice but to go to the movie theater to go see a movie. Otherwise, I'm going to steal it and watch it on. I got a 65-inch TV at home with surround sound. like i i like to I don't like going out to these things.
00:27:46
Speaker
look The last comedy show i went to, i took I took mom and a girl that I was dating on separate occasions to go see Ryan Davis. yeah It was cool. You know what I'm saying? like But I did it for them. wasn't for me. i It was the same jokes. So I was like, it's like did same jokes a year later? Like, OK, that kind of makes sense. But I was like, nah, I'm not going to go see...
00:28:14
Speaker
i I support the brother. I want to do well, but i don't want to go. Okay. All right. Well, you don't have to. I'm going. I know. I mean, that's something that you and... I'm going, damn um why i it i It could be... Des Chappelle had a concert in D.C. that I could have gone to, and i was don't want to go.
00:28:37
Speaker
I can watch it on TV. I just want to know what the root of that is. like I just don't like going nowhere. don't like going nowhere. ah oh Don't like going nowhere. Well, then I feel you on that because I really hate going places. and And I've been just been doing a lot of track. I feel like i every month I'm on a flight and I'm just like, I've been doing a lot of moving around and I don't like it. You know what I like to do?
00:29:00
Speaker
you know what I like to do? What? Sit my ass down. Sit my ass down. That's it. And don't move. Don't move. No, I like to drink my champagne. Mm-hmm.
00:29:12
Speaker
Watch my, whether the superhero shows ain't on too much and nowadays. watch my Watch my little TV and chill with crypto. That's that's that's it. I've been partying and hanging out for you for decades. I'm tired now. I'm 43. I'm tired.
00:29:27
Speaker
Yeah. That's what I tell folks now. I'm like, I'm 43, y'all. I ain't about to do it. I was partying for a really long time and I'm tired. I moved to D.C. at 16.
00:29:38
Speaker
And I've been in these streets since 16. Right. this I'm tired. don't want no more streets. Same. I'm not made for the streets. That that young lady died.
00:29:51
Speaker
People be like, you want to go out to dinner? Why? We can cook dinner. We can cook dinner. It won't be as good. but It's an experience. You can order from that same restaurant. And i don't like putting on clothes.
00:30:03
Speaker
I don't like putting on clothes. Yeah. You, I, I like, I like when I dress up and I, and I'm nice. Yeah. Right. When I feel comfortable in my body.
00:30:15
Speaker
Right. Right now, I don't feel comfortable in my body, so I don't like the way my clothes fit. So I don't want to go out. I know that sounds very. No, I mean, you got to be comfortable
Social Exhaustion and Solitude
00:30:28
Speaker
when you go out. Yeah. I thought that sounded very reasonable.
00:30:31
Speaker
It sounds feminine. No. Because everybody has got body image issues. Everybody does. Most men won't voice it. Yeah, but everybody's got them. Well, no. my My best friends will say, I'll never forget this time. My best friends was like, you know girls don't even care about muscles.
00:30:54
Speaker
And I was like, what? Some don't. so I was like, I was like, what are you trying to say? he was like, well, you keep working out so hard. I was like, let me tell you something. I have not heard had a woman yet look at my body when I'm in my workout phase and be like, you work out too much, stop working out. That is not what they say. They normally say, well, you have big arms. I like your muscles. That's what they say. Now, if your women aren't saying that because they can't say it about you because you're not in shape,
00:31:28
Speaker
but don't knock me for wanting to be in shape. Right. hey they Girls don't even, women don't even care about that. I'm like, okay, I have evidence to say otherwise, but okay. You're gonna attract, if you don't have muscles, the kind of women you're gonna attract is not a woman who likes muscles.
00:31:47
Speaker
So, of course, the women that he encounters... are women that aren't thinking about muscles. That's why they're attracted to him. I ain't the black Arnold Schwarzenegger. I'm not all muscled up. That's what was like. I was like, what are y'all?
00:32:02
Speaker
I'm just in shape. That's all I am. It's not like I'm coming in looking like The Rock. yeah I look like a bootleg rock because I got a ball of hair and I'm light skin, but I don't look like the rock. like i know My clothes don't fit like that. So what are y'all talking about? They just be hating.
00:32:17
Speaker
But i that is i think that yeah I think that's because they were like, oh, because I don't look like that. So I'm just going to comment that it's not necessarily a good thing. And that would be a body issue thing.
00:32:29
Speaker
It would be them not being comfortable in themselves. Yeah. So I guess you're right. But yeah, no, and I don't like it. The only time I like going out is when it's like, all right, I feel good about what I'm wearing. I feel good about my body. And even I think that's everybody. Yeah, I guess that's true.
00:32:47
Speaker
I think that's everybody. But even then, you know, I feel so bad sometimes. Like I'm a horrible friend. my My bestie lives not too far from me, right over the bridge.
00:33:00
Speaker
And she is like, let's get together. And I'm like, I want to, because I love spending time with you. But also, I'm tired of talking. Yeah. Yeah.
00:33:11
Speaker
Like I'm just between this podcast, my regular job. Sometimes I just want to sit in silence. Sometimes me and crypto will sit in the living room and I play my video game in complete silence. Yeah.
00:33:25
Speaker
No sound. i There are times when literally I end my work day and i was like, I don't want to hear anything. I don't want to hear any sounds. I will turn off the AC unit because I don't even want to hear that hum. I want to hear nothing.
00:33:39
Speaker
Because I had to talk and get talked at so much today. ah literally want to hear the ringing in my ears. And that's it I don't want to say no more words.
00:33:55
Speaker
And people going to be like, but you got a podcast. I know. I can't explain it. i don't I don't know. i can't I can't tell you what it is. And people are like, but you say you don't like attention, but you have a podcast. I don't want attention. Right. I i do.
00:34:13
Speaker
This is the hubris in me. I do want to teach. and know This is my way of getting out. I talk to so many people sometimes. And it's just like, why aren't you thinking like this here?
00:34:26
Speaker
Let me show you this perspective. And they're like oh, I never thought of it like that. And I'm like, okay, well, then you learn something. Oh, cool. I like that. Let me see how many more people that I can get to hear a perspective. And then I interview people to hear different perspectives of things that I don't know about.
00:34:43
Speaker
Because I like to learn about things that I want to learn about. That's what the school system telling me what I need to learn about. Yeah, that was the thing I hated the most about school. Let me just study the stuff I care about.
00:34:54
Speaker
So um the professor I interviewed at the very first episode of season two, Cam and I was talking one night and I was just like, yeah, you know, I hated school. I don't really like learning. He was like, that's not true.
00:35:08
Speaker
He's like, you love learning. You just like learning about stuff that you find interesting.
College Choices and Self-Perception
00:35:12
Speaker
Yes, absolutely. He was like, you should have flourished in college. I was like, well, yeah, but then I chose the wrong major because I wanted to show that i was smarter than everybody. So I chose Eastern European history instead of the thing that I was most interested in, which was American history. yeah But who wants to study American history when they are in in America?
00:35:31
Speaker
An American history major. Yeah, I didn't want to be an American history major. I wanted to prove that I was smarter than everybody and be an Eastern European. And you chose the most difficult. Yes.
00:35:45
Speaker
I had to prove that I was smarter than everybody. Ridiculous. I know. It was absolutely ridiculous. Don't ask me nothing about none of those. The Byzantine Empire, the Ming Dynasty. I remember the names, but I can't tell you none that. Ottoman Empire. None of that. we I don't think you we even learned about the Ottoman Empire. where i don't think we learned about i don't think we learned about the Persians and and there and their quest. That was something different. think I learned about that during the... I think I learned about that and in the movie The 300th.
00:36:17
Speaker
Same.
00:36:24
Speaker
That's what I know. It was an ego trip. I was like, you know I'm smarter than you and I'm going to prove. I'm going shove it in your face. Everybody. Who was asking? I don't know. Nobody asked. just had to let them know. You know what though? When was at Maryland,
00:36:42
Speaker
cause people okay so i when i was at maryland I don't think I'm abnormally tall. I'm above average. Well, I'm well above average because I just found out today the average height for a female is five five The average height for a male is 5'9".
00:36:57
Speaker
Yes. So if it's 5'9", and I say that I'm 6'3", but I'm really 6'4", that's seven inches taller than the average male. In that regard... Why do you shorten yourself on paper? Because I never wanted to be... that see I always wanted to just be in the crowd.
00:37:15
Speaker
I never wanted to stand out. Because I always stood out. yeah So I just wanted to... If you notice now, and it's stuff that i worked on at therapy. If you notice, even to this day, I slouched my shoulders. Yeah.
00:37:30
Speaker
i so slept i I literally Clark Kent myself until I want to Superman myself. If there's a point that I want to get across, it if there's a there's a thing that I want to demonstrate, then all of a sudden I stand up upright and my voice gets deeper and I do the Superman thing. But any other time, it's very meek. I'm very Clark Kent.
00:37:50
Speaker
It's also one of the reasons why i don't intimidate all these white clients that i that I have. Yeah. Because they're just like, oh, I don't have to be worried about him. He's like John Coffey. yeah
00:38:04
Speaker
Why was I thinking John Coffey? that's ah six I was thinking that. listen that to up it Just like a lovable
00:38:22
Speaker
If y'all don't know John Coffey is, it's the guy from the Green Mile. oh Oh my goodness. Just a level-ass John Coffey. That's all I am. good That's a heck thing I was thinking.
00:38:39
Speaker
Oh my God. Wow. All right. Well, we did our we did our time on the show. We did we did it. We did it. You're welcome. Well, all right. And you're high.
00:38:53
Speaker
So you can go ahead and be embraced in that highness. I'm going go and think I'm going to have some salmon. don't have no sides, though. You got to have some sides. You don't got spinach or nothing?
00:39:05
Speaker
I do, but i don't feel like... I got spinach and mushrooms, but I really don't feel like sauteing them right now. Because I got to clean the the skillet that I just made eggs in earlier. I'm tired.
00:39:15
Speaker
Yeah. When I could just heat up my tacos. Yeah. Anyway, what you want to tell these people out here? that that your phone is blowing up.
00:39:28
Speaker
Yeah, I don't know what the hell's going on. It's ah an ungodly hour.
00:39:35
Speaker
and really isn't, but okay. Ain't nothing up but sinners and podcasters.
00:39:43
Speaker
You almost made me spit this alcohol all over my mic and my computer. Oh, what do have to say to people? Nothing. Again, a terrible person. that I did not come up with anything to say.
00:39:55
Speaker
I don't think you're terrible. Roni is like, I'm up. And I'm ready. I took her collar off so she's not jingling, but she is up. She's up and ready to rock.
00:40:08
Speaker
There's one last thing before I get off here.
Interactions with Pets and Neighbors
00:40:10
Speaker
There's this lady in my building. Her name is Kim. I don't know how she is. I can't i can't be telling with women. and you You can't ask women because that's just disrespectful. But she's got these two pits. And these are like these are like the big pits.
00:40:24
Speaker
Not the little teeny tiny pic. yeah One of the dogs' name is Rome, and I just love Rome. Rome is like a bear. yeah I saw her earlier today. She was like, hey, how you doing? I was like, hey, how you doing, Kim? i was like, Rome, is that you? Because she takes them up the stairs because they're big, and I think she's... I don't know if they're her dogs or not, but they're big, and they're pits, and she's fearful of how they interact with other dogs, so she'll just take them up the stairs instead of going on an elevator. And I'm like...
00:40:54
Speaker
You know, my dog is cool if your dogs are cool. She was like, not this one, but the other one is cool. I was like, well, anytime you see me, he always wants to say hi to dogs. That's all he cares about in life is just saying hi to dogs. Truly. Yeah.
00:41:08
Speaker
So i I see her and I was like, what's up, Rome? And his tail was wagging. Mind you, I've only met this dog one time. His tail is wagging and he runs up to me.
00:41:19
Speaker
and ah Because I'm big, like I don't really care. Like that doesn't scare me. But he runs and he immediately headbutts my shin. And I'm like, damn, Rome, you ain't got to headbutt me. But he's just so happy and his tail is wagging and he's just letting me rub his belly. And I was like, oh man, Rome, if I could, I'd adopt you. But you already got an owner.
00:41:38
Speaker
And I don't want no more dogs. But he's pretty cool. Yeah. That is a big ass dog. That big ass pet. So he's one of the big stocky ones. and He's got to be mixed with something else because he's he's as big as not as, yeah, he's as big as a rockwilder.
00:41:57
Speaker
Oh. But he has a pit face. Yeah. That'd be crazy if he was a pit rockwilder mix. Next time I say it, got to ask him because he's not a normal, he's not a regular pit. Yeah, I'd ask. that I want to know.
00:42:09
Speaker
And quite our minds want to know. Yeah, if you had a pit rockwilder mix, that'd be the scariest dog. That's crazy. That's that dog from the Omen. The only thing that i think would be scarier is a German Shepherd pit bull putt bullll mix.
00:42:23
Speaker
Well, that's just because historically what German Shepherds mean. Yeah, I'm scared of that. I see a German Shepherd, hey, is that dog cool? He's a lovely dog. I was like, that ain't my history German Shepherds. Right.
00:42:34
Speaker
Is he a descendant of somebody's police dog? Didn't Dave Chappelle do a sketch of a racist German Shepherd? Yes. Yes. No, it was Mr. Ed. It was Mr. Ed. was racist. Yes. And they said also the dog to play Renton.
00:42:51
Speaker
Renton, or whenever whatever. it'
00:42:59
Speaker
He and Neil Brennan, hilarious. All right.

00:44:19
Speaker
The real halftime debate isn't about music, right? Like when they did this cultural war thing, it's not about music. What it's truly about is who gets find America.
00:44:35
Speaker
Did say that right?
00:44:39
Speaker
You did. well you didn't really enunciate the word define. So you were like, it was really about is who gets a fine America. Like, that's what you said. ah So if you want to go back and do a take two. Cut, cut, cut, cut, cut. That's why I probably didn't hit your ear right.
00:45:08
Speaker
because that's what I heard and I was like okay didn't Didn't
00:45:25
Speaker
so Amper, camper, stoop.
00:45:35
Speaker
I'm in here sweating now. Okay. okay Cut, cut, cut, cut, cut. All right. You ready? But everybody, I want to leave you with this. The real halftime debate isn't about music.
00:45:48
Speaker
Everybody wants to get into these cultural war things and, okay, if we're going to get into it, let's address it. Because like I said, it wasn't about music.
00:45:59
Speaker
It's about who gets to define America. That was better? Did much better. You fumbled over the word halftime.
00:46:10
Speaker
I did? Yes, you said, the real half in the bait. I did? Yes.
00:46:20
Speaker
And i was like, oh, he did it again. He's going to stop. But you kept going, so I was like, okay. I didn't even wake up with a fact that I did that. Look, if it's a word to be fucked up, I'm going to fuck it up.
00:46:35
Speaker
i'll go It's a one sentence, Bruce. I need you to read this one sentence. I'm not reading it directly. It was a framework and then I was going to put my own little pizzazz on it, but I guess I probably should just read it so that I won't fuck it up. oh ah All let me try this one more time.
00:46:53
Speaker
and go His historic political, his historic presidential cut. Scroll in, lost my place.
00:47:04
Speaker
He said communities. I was like, who are you, Glorilla? but I did. I'm going to fuck up some words. All His historic presidential campaigns in 1984 and 1988 expanded the possibilities of American politics, proving that a broad progressive coalition could compete at the highest levels. He served as a voice for the voiceless, advocating for voting rights, economic equity, and international human rights, even acting as an informal diplomat to secure the release of Americans abroad.
00:47:34
Speaker
and night In 2000, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
00:47:42
Speaker
Freeman. He was working with him. Cut. In 2000, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freeman
00:47:56
Speaker
Oh, come on, Bruce. Oh, my God. Come on, man. Freedom, freedom, freedom.
00:48:09
Speaker
ah oh comeho bruce oh my god come on man free dumb free dumb free
00:48:26
Speaker
I hope you enjoyed that. Look, sometimes it's one take, Bruce, and I don't have any flub ups, but sometimes I have a little bit of trouble. If it's been a long day, yeah, good luck to me with reading anything or just making sense.
00:48:42
