Digital Friends, Latchkey Kids & Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Pension Scam
20 Plays3 days ago
Friendships, digital stress, latchkey kids, 90s parenting, and Marjorie Taylor Greene’s “retirement” collide in this episode of Unsolicited Perspectives with Bruce Anthony.
Bruce opens with a nostalgic look at his 90s childhood—landlines, keys under the mat, and deeper friendships—contrasting it with today’s always-online culture. He unpacks the highs of digital life (connection, community, therapy access) and the lows (ghosting, shallow bonds, constant comparison), before sharing practical strategies for building real friendships in a digital age.
Then, he revisits a shocking 1992 case of two sisters left alone for nine days, showing how it reshaped Illinois law and raising a bigger question: why do our “tough” legal responses often harm the very communities they claim to protect?
Finally, Bruce and J. Aundrea tackle Greene’s exit from Congress, political grifting in 2025, and the fine line between art and business—spanning Eddie Murphy’s legacy, Chappelle’s evolution, Joe Pesci’s comeback, and why some legends should stay retired.
Tap in for sharp, funny conversations on digital friendships, 90s nostalgia, parenting, over-policing, political scams, and the messy intersection of art and capitalism. #friendship #digital #LatchkeyKids #marjorietaylorgreene #EddieMurphy #unsolicitedperspectives

00:00:17

On today's episode, I'll be talking about digital friendships, I'll be talking about lackey kids, and then me and my sister going to be dilly-daddling a little bit in the third segment.
00:00:56
Speaker
But that's enough of the intro. Let's get to the show.
Podcast Updates and Personal Reflections
00:01:07
Speaker
Ladies and gentlemen, the first thing I want to do is apologize. Bruce is little under the weather. I've been sick for about a week. That was not the reason why you guys haven't gotten any podcasts ah for the last week.
00:01:18
Speaker
The reason why you guys didn't get any podcasts for the last week? Thanksgiving. Like, we're going to take holiday vacations. The week of Christmas? Also not going to get podcasts. Like, we're going to take vacations when everybody else is vacationing.
00:01:33
Speaker
The good thing is, once again, i cannot stress enough, we have... hundreds of hours of content on our YouTube, whether it's our YouTube exclusive, our after hours uncensored sneak peek clips, our after hours uncensored show that's on our Patreon and YouTube membership, hundreds of hours, literally.
00:01:56
Speaker
So if you're missing us, go ahead and jump on that page. But Please excuse me. My voice is starting to come back, but I'm not all the way there. There's gonna be a little bit of pauses because, i you know, trying to trying to get myself back to being 100%.
Evolution of Friendships: 90s vs Digital Age
00:02:14
Speaker
So this first segment, I'm gonna be talking about something that's near and dear to all of us. No matter how old you are, we are all dealing and affected by this, and that's digital friendships.
00:02:28
Speaker
So I wanna compare my growing up years, right? So I'm gonna go back to being 90s kid, kid. I wasn't kids, I was just a single person.
00:02:41
Speaker
A 90s kid, having friendships. And how does that compare to now? Because growing up in the 95 is when, Windows 95 is when instant messengers started.
00:02:53
Speaker
I remember getting it in 95, 96. The internet was still very new. you know, I'm of the analog and digital age. There are some kids that just strictly digital age. So I wanted to give some context because I feel too often millennials, Gen Xers, and boomers are critiquing the younger generation and their friendships.
00:03:19
Speaker
And there are good and bad aspects of having digital or friendships in the digital age. There's a good aspect of growing up in the digital age and developing friendships with it, there are also some bad aspects.
00:03:36
Speaker
I think people too often, the older generations too often, focus on the bad and not focus on the good, which we all participate in. So, Why friendships feel different now. Social media has expanded how we connect, but also added pressure, comparison, and complexity to our relationships.
00:03:59
Speaker
And in the 90s, friendships relied on face-to-face time, phone calls, shared real life experiences. There were fewer connections, but often deeper ones. Look, let me tell you something. In the 90s, I remember this one story. I hope to God.
00:04:15
Speaker
that this person is not following the podcast or the story that I'm about to tell. Now, granted, this story is literally from 32 years ago, maybe 31, but definitely around 31 or 32 years ago. I had a good friend.
00:04:36
Speaker
that didn't live close. Close is relative as a as a teenager, right? A mile away is like two million states away back in the day. I don't know how far he lived.
00:04:48
Speaker
It was probably a good mile away. And i go through my moods. I've always been this way where i don't feel like dealing with nobody. Like, that's just like I get not high and low. I get super personable and then drain, right?
00:05:03
Speaker
And it wasn't like I was hanging out with a lot of friends. Maybe I was at a lot of basketball camps or something something was going on on that particular day. All I wanted to do was chill, watch MTV, play with my wrestling men, play video games. I didn't want no company.
00:05:16
Speaker
My friend didn't tell me that he was going to stop by. And we lived in a house where... I could see you coming up from the street. You would have to come up the driveway. And there were ways for us to look out in the windows without people being able to see that we were looking out from the windows. So my friend walks up to my house and rings the doorbell. And I saw him coming up the driveway because I could see out the window.
00:05:44
Speaker
And I was like, you know what? I really don't feel like hanging out today. Really don't. And I didn't answer that door. It was hot as hell. And he turned around and walked away.
00:05:57
Speaker
He didn't know that I didn't open the door. I could have just not been home. It's not like I was in the del and the car and was in the driveway. I just didn't feel like answering the phone.
00:06:08
Speaker
But the point I'm trying to make with this story is, is like our connections were a lot fewer back in the day. Right? Like you really had to plan in order to meet up and hang out with your friends.
00:06:22
Speaker
In order to talk to them. Right? There was only one phone line in the house. And if that phone line was being taken up by the internet, which happened later on, then you couldn't even talk on the phone.
00:06:33
Speaker
So, though our connections were fewer, they were deeper because they were through face-to-face phone calls and then just shared life experiences. But Social media has made friendships better in a lot of regards. And I think that the older generation gets it as far as them, but they don't, they look down upon how the younger generations interact without recognizing the fact that we do the same shit.
00:07:07
Speaker
here Here are some examples. Staying connected, Anywhere, long distance friendships are easier to maintain. Real time updates keep people involved in each other's lives.
00:07:18
Speaker
Platforms like Facebook and WhatsApp lets you users organize reunions and to communicate instantly with their childhood friends, which was much harder in the 90s. Look, if you called a house and your friend wasn't there, good luck finding them.
00:07:36
Speaker
Right? Like that instantaneous connection we didn't have in the 90s. And if if our friends went away for the summer, went to a summer camp and didn't have access for the phone, that just meant that we weren't talking to them for a whole summer, days.
00:07:56
Speaker
That type of situation doesn't happen now unless a person doesn't want to talk to you, right? Like we have access to people all the time. It's good and bad, but in the aspect of maintaining relationships, friendships, what what have you,
00:08:12
Speaker
Social media and the digital age is great at keeping us connected. Online communities also, along with group chats, help people meet others with shared interests who they had never went and encountered in the 90s.
00:08:28
Speaker
And in the ninety s our friends were who we went to school with. High school, middle school and high school is where we started to click up, where we would have people that you know, that had similar interests in us.
00:08:41
Speaker
And I was talking to a friend of mine other day, and I was like, how many of your high school friends are still your friends? And they were like, none. Now, I got two of my closest friends.
00:08:53
Speaker
that I've known since high school, and they've known each other since elementary school. That's extremely rare. Typically, when you go off as an adult, you find these groups where you have these shared interests because the pool of people that you can meet and talk to is larger.
00:09:13
Speaker
I'm talking about back in the day. Now, through the digital age, social media, all that's at the palm of your hands. Right? And you can connect with these people. Reddit is a prime example. I've been on Reddit so much.
00:09:26
Speaker
These subreddits, you meet so many people who have your similar interests, your similar ideas. The world is now open up to you. So you could have more connections.
00:09:37
Speaker
You also have more emotional outlets. Some people find it easier to open up online and in digital spaces and because they find the support is easier.
00:09:50
Speaker
It's less, it's more comfortable. It's not uncomfortable. It's more comfortable to do online as opposed to that uncomfortable feeling of doing things face-to-face.
00:10:02
Speaker
You know, we've grown up in the age of ghosting and it wasn't, ghosting was a new thing. Ghosting is, became about because digital allowed us to ghost.
00:10:14
Speaker
I never ghosted no females when I was dating back in the day. You couldn't ghost them. You went to school with her You couldn't ghost. Now you can straight up ghost people and, and not just dating relationships, not just in friendships.
00:10:30
Speaker
Yo. I'm learning in the corporate world, corporations are ghosting people and people are ghosting corporations. You know why?
00:10:40
Speaker
Because it's extremely uncomfortable to deal with that type of personal, emotional interaction face-to-face. Basically, people are scared and they're punks. And and i' I've been one of them, so I'm not calling anybody else out there for something that I haven't done.
00:10:57
Speaker
But that's what the digital age gives you.
00:11:02
Speaker
Ghosting, but the opposite end of that, the ability to open up and be more open. I know for a fact, as somebody who's done therapy, it is a lot easier for me to hire a therapist that has no personal connection to me than it is for me to talk to somebody that I love.
00:11:24
Speaker
Now, that's my own issues, but It is easier for me to let down my guard to a stranger that I'm paying than it is for somebody that I love.
00:11:37
Speaker
and And it's more because whatever I tell the therapist, I don't care if they're affected by it emotionally. I do care if the people I love are affected by it. But that was some of the good stuff.
00:11:48
Speaker
There is some ways in which the digital age and social media have made relationships worse.
Challenges of Digital Friendships
00:11:54
Speaker
And I know this is what a lot of the older generation is talking about. And I say older generation, I include myself in it. even Although I don't necessarily agree with the consensus from older generation that social media and digital relationships are horrible. I don't agree with that.
00:12:13
Speaker
But I do agree that some of the next couple of things that I'm getting ready to talk about Social media may worse as far as relationships. So number one, shallow surface level bonds.
00:12:25
Speaker
You have more friends, but fewer close ones. Digital connections often lack emotional depth. Research reveals that traditional offline friendships reach deeper emotional levels than digital only bonds.
00:12:40
Speaker
And that's absolutely true. Somebody once said to me, yo, there are some people listening to this show and they're going to be disappointed. Sorry, I'm just being real. There's a lot of people out there that have a connection with me through social media and things of that nature.
00:12:56
Speaker
And we are friendly. We ain't friends. Not friends in the regard that I categorize people that would be friends.
00:13:08
Speaker
That's a special bond to me. I only got a few. I only got a few. And I've remained steadfast and I keep my title my circle really tight.
00:13:19
Speaker
I keep it really small for a reason. I don't know, you know, I got trust issues or whatever. It's really, really tight, really close in that circle. But there are people out there because they have access to my life, whatever I post online or doing this podcast, that feel like they are absolutely my friend. And I say to them all the time, what do you know about me emotionally?
00:13:47
Speaker
You know, like, how how are we connected outside of what I present on social media, which is an almost not even surface level, right? Like, I rarely put myself out there on social media. I'm not one of those type of people that going to ever see crying on social media. going to keep that super private.
00:14:07
Speaker
So yes, one of the problems with social media and the digital age is that you have more friends. They're just not close. It also creates a highlight reel pressure.
00:14:20
Speaker
Seeing everyone's best moments creates comparison, jealousy, and insecurity. And they're not for me, because I'm a cheerleader. If I rock with you, I want you to do your absolute best. I'm not in comparison or in competition with nobody but myself.
00:14:37
Speaker
That's me personally. And I've kind of always been like that. I've always kind of been my own man. But I understand how seeing other people And all of their best moments would cause some people to feel insecurity and jealousy.
00:14:55
Speaker
Like, I get it. And that's kind of what the digital age of social media does, because people don't be putting out their bad moments. And those that do are, I always say, ah seeking attention.
00:15:07
Speaker
So it doesn't seem genuine. But that's also a problem in the social media and ah digital age. Digital stress.
00:15:18
Speaker
Now, this was a new one for me, but as I explain it, you'll be like, oh yeah, that makes sense. Feeling obligated to respond, be present, and perform online. Disappointment or conflict arises when expectations aren't met.
00:15:31
Speaker
Yo, I got so many DMs in my Instagram, the majority the time i just don't answer And now people kind of get that now. It took me a long time to train people. Like, I'm not going to answer or respond to every DM. I'm going to, it's a direct question or something like that. Something I need to respond to, I respond to. If you send me a reel, I'm not going to make a comment on every single one. I've got too many of my DMs, right? Because lot of people communicate with me like that. I communicate with a lot of people like that.
00:16:02
Speaker
That's just the way it is. I'm not going allow that stress of seeing the notifications build up so much inside of me that it affects me. So i I just don't.
00:16:13
Speaker
But I used to feel that way. I used to hate having notifications in my text messages or my emails or my Instagram or a TikTok or back in the day when I did use Twitter.
00:16:25
Speaker
I used to have to respond to it because I didn't like it and I didn't want people to feel like I was ignoring them. our Teens may feel hurt or excluded if a friend's online activity excludes them and it and intensifies feelings of jealousy and loneliness.
00:16:42
Speaker
So this is all a part of digital stress. So these are reasons why digital relationships through social media can cause problems. Another one, miscommunication and conflict.
00:16:56
Speaker
Lack of tone, context, and body language leads to friction that wasn't as common in the 90s. Look, me and my sister was talking about it not too long ago.
00:17:07
Speaker
Having whole ass conversations, important conversations through text messages. dead that. Too much miscommunication can be read through words.
00:17:18
Speaker
We need to talk and we need to have a face-to-face conversation. And also the last one, less in-personal time. Online interaction replaces real-world bonding that builds stronger relationships.
00:17:33
Speaker
That can't be, you know, denied. Like we are not hanging out person to person anymore. I just, one of my friends stopped by the other day on Thanksgiving because they were here in my building.
00:17:47
Speaker
I hadn't seen her in, I don't know, seven, eight months. And we were like, why has that been? Like, we're friends. Why have we not seen each other?
00:17:58
Speaker
And she was like, you're busy. And ah and I am. Very rarely do I have free time. I am busy. But also, you gotta start making time for the people that matter to you.
00:18:11
Speaker
You can't fall victim to this text messaging, DMing and Rails and things and think that that's sufficient enough to maintain a friendship.
00:18:22
Speaker
I've lost friendships because I don't have time for them or I don't make time for them. And I'm not the only one out there that does these type of things. So Bruce, you gave us the pros and the cons of friendships in the digital age.
Cultivating Genuine Friendships
00:18:42
Speaker
How do you build real friendships today? Number one, set boundaries with apps specifically to reduce comparison and stress.
00:18:54
Speaker
Prioritize face-to-face time. The strongest bonds still form Offline, you gotta make that time for those people that you care about, like I said earlier.
00:19:04
Speaker
Practice emotional honesty and communication, whether you're online or in person. You gotta be emotionally honest. People out here being emotionally dishonest, people out here are lying, not only to the to others, but also to themselves.
00:19:19
Speaker
Gotta be emotionally honest. Avoid the comparison trap. Remember, social media is curated. It's not real. Okay. That's not real life. And then lead with empathy.
00:19:31
Speaker
Assume good intentions, check tone, and clarify before reacting. That's important if you're communicating through DMs or text messages.
00:19:44
Speaker
Just check in and be like, you did I, did I hear you correctly? Did I read this correctly? Was this what you meant to say? And not in a what you say to me type check-in tone, just in a, hey, what'd you mean by this type of tone.
00:20:02
Speaker
These are all ways to build strong bonds and relationships. And also realize that not every relationship that you have on social media is a true friendship.
00:20:15
Speaker
Technology for all those people out there, for you boomers, you Gen X, and some of you millennials out here, that are blaming technology for the decline of friendships and relationships. Technology didn't ruin friendships. It didn't ruin relationships.
00:20:31
Speaker
It just changed the rules. The goal today is balance. Use social media to connect, not replace genuine interaction. And if you do that, the bonds that you've ah been forming since the 90s, go stay strong.
00:20:49
Speaker
Stop blaming the hand in that for everything. Start looking within, taking accountability, and make some changes.
Latchkey Kids and Independence
00:21:07
Speaker
I came across this article the other day, and I was like, this is absolutely ridiculous. Don't get me wrong. And in 90s, we were latchkey kids, right? Key up under the doormat, key up under the, you know, whatever.
00:21:20
Speaker
go into the house, don't open the door for nobody. And we were home all day until our parents got home. We were out all day when our parents were a home outside playing.
00:21:31
Speaker
They didn't know where we were half the time. We was out here running the streets being wild. We wasn't being that wild, but we were just out here. But this article that i that I came across, it was just a ah revisited article on MSN.com.
00:21:44
Speaker
dot com And I was like, yeah, we was latchkey kids, but this shit is crazy. Let me explain to you what I'm talking about. So David and Sharon Shrew made headlines in December, 1992, when they left their two daughters, Nicole, who was nine and Diane, who were four alone for nine days in their St. Charles, Illinois at home while vacationing in Mexico.
00:22:12
Speaker
Let me break that down for you one more again. Two parents, David and Sharon Shrew, left their two single-digit kids, Nicole, who was nine, Diane, who was four, in the home by themselves while David and Sharon went to Mexico on vacation.
00:22:39
Speaker
Their case shocked the nation and directly led to changes in the Illinois law on child abandon abandonment and neglect. There's more to the story, right? There's got to be more to the story. So let me break this down for you. Shoes departed without giving their daughters any way to contact them, instead leaving frozen dinners, cereal, and a note cautioning them to not overeat.
00:23:05
Speaker
The girls ran to a neighbor's house after smoke alarm went off, which led to police intervention. I'll get to the police intervention in a minute. But for my millennials out there, Gen X, hell, even boomers, but more so Gen X and millennials, y'all remember coming home to a note.
00:23:27
Speaker
If you were fancy enough, you had a notepad by the phone. If not, then it was a piece of mail that had a note on that your mom or dad had written of things for you to do and numbers to call if he needed to contact them. Hell, we was calling our parents, asking them if we could eda eat a hostess cake or get some ice cream.
00:23:48
Speaker
We knew how to get in contact with our parents. David and Cher went to Mexico, left their nine and four-year-old kid frozen dinners and a note not to overeat.
00:24:03
Speaker
No way to contact them. They by theyself for days. After returning from Acapulco, the shoes were arrested at O'Hare Airport and charged with child abandonment, neglect, endangerment, and cruelty to children.
00:24:21
Speaker
Further investigation were revealed additional acts of mistreatment, including locking the girls in the room for hours, beatings with belts, and hair pulling. The couple faced 64 criminal counts, but ultimately accepted a plea agreement pleading guilty to misdemeanor child neglect.
00:24:41
Speaker
Their sentence included two years of probation and 200 hours of community service, avoiding jail time. The children were placed in foster care care, and according to later court records, were eventually adopted after their parents gave them up voluntarily.
00:25:00
Speaker
The case exposed vague language and Illinois child neglect statutes. At the time, abandonment was not clearly defined. Lawmakers moved swiftly to change legislation in 1993, making it illegal to intentionally leave a child under the age of 14 alone for 24 hours or more.
00:25:22
Speaker
Threshold inspired by this fruit by the Shrew case, Illinois became one of the first states to set a specific minimum age for unsupervised children, though critics argue that it has led to expressive excessively broad applications and in later years.
00:25:39
Speaker
Okay. Why did I
Child Neglect Laws: Case Study and Implications
00:25:41
Speaker
bring this up? One, I thought it was a fascinating story. I'd never heard it before. I was in Illinois around this time. No, I was out. I was going to Illinois.
00:25:50
Speaker
But shortly before, I was still in in Illinois. So there was that personal connection. And then there was a connection of, yeah, my parents would take off for a weekend, but I was literally in high school watching my brother and sister, like 15, 16, and watching them for the weekend.
00:26:08
Speaker
And, you know, there's a four-year difference between me and my sister and a five-and-a-half-year difference. So if I'm 16, my sister is 12, my brother is 10 and a half. Sometimes he's 11, depending on what time of the year, right?
00:26:23
Speaker
as long as I'm there to take the lead, that's fine. And it says unsupervised children under the age of 14. But I think there might've been times where I'm not sure I would have to talk to my parents about that, but there were definitely times where, you know, I was the babysitter and my parents were gone for a day or something like that.
00:26:42
Speaker
Leave us food and for a pizza and things like that. they You, you, as a parent, like, you know, your kids, you know, what you can allow them to do, what they are capable of, and what they aren't.
00:26:55
Speaker
Why did I find this story fascinating? I found the story fascinating because how the hell you going just go to Acapulco for a week, leave your kids there who are not even 10, and think that that's going to be okay? And the story actually broke down. This wasn't the first time. This was just the longest time that they had done that.
00:27:14
Speaker
And it's clear that they didn't even want the kids because they just gave them up voluntarily, right? which is what they should have done in the first place. So that's the reason why this article interests me.
00:27:28
Speaker
But then the outcome of the case is what really, really interesteds interested me. Oftentimes, when bad things happen, and this was bad, the girls ultimately were okay.
00:27:43
Speaker
Thank God for the neighbor, right? It could have been way worse. But when bad things happen, we as humans tend to overreact.
00:27:57
Speaker
And to say the age of 14, which is high school, is the age of which you can't leave kids unintended for a certain period of time. I can tell you for a fact that I was 10 years old watching my brother and sister.
00:28:09
Speaker
We were just fine. Now, now it my parents might've gone out for the night, right? Gone out to dinner that night, have a little date night, and I watch them, my brother and sister, they came home that night.
00:28:20
Speaker
So maybe they'd be gone for three or four hours later in the evening, and I would have to get my brother and sister to go to bed. Obviously, their are maturity there's levels to maturity for children.
00:28:32
Speaker
But too often, I see this. Throughout history, too often, I see something bad happens. And then to fix that bad thing, there's an overreaction.
00:28:45
Speaker
Think about everything that's illegal right now. Remember Prohibition? was just talking to somebody about this earlier. Remember Prohibition? Prohibition was the outlawing of alcohol, consumption of alcohol, right?
00:29:00
Speaker
And production of alcohol.
00:29:04
Speaker
They wanted to stop people from drinking so much. What happened? One, people didn't stop drinking. And an unintended consequence of what happened was these little gangs that had no type of organization actually gained organization through prohibition, creating organized crime, which stretched its tentacles all throughout American society that eventually cost average American citizens money because they had control of the garment districts.
00:29:42
Speaker
They had control of the poultry. They had control of everything. An overreaction prohibition. Fentanyl overdoses are illegally bombing boats that you say are drug boats, but you got no proof about it.
00:30:02
Speaker
An overreaction to a bad thing never leads anything good. And so, yeah, there are child abatement laws. And, you know, I don't necessarily agree with beating your kids. I joke all the time on here about beating your kids, right? And obviously it's a joke, right?
00:30:25
Speaker
But there are some times where spanking is warranted. I'm not talking about a beating, right? I joke about a beating, but a smack on the butt, especially for a little kid, there are some times where that is warranted, where reasoning won't work.
00:30:46
Speaker
And they made that so it was illegal. Now, it became illegal because some parents were absolutely wilding. But it's an overreaction.
00:30:57
Speaker
because I would say the majority of parents were not out there wilding out. The crack epidemic explodes in the 90s. Their reaction, everybody's reaction.
00:31:11
Speaker
The sentencing fell on racial lines. But make no mistake about it, Black folks in those communities were also co-signing the 1994 crime bill that just...
00:31:24
Speaker
blooded the prisons with simple possession charges, right? You get years for simple possession charges. And did that stop people from smoking crack? Nope, people still smoke crack today.
00:31:38
Speaker
Today, in 1994 was a long time ago. The point I'm trying to make is an overreaction to something that's bad or horrific never leads to anything good.
00:31:54
Speaker
I know it is tough to take calm, take a deep breath, remain measured and think logically about how to solve a problem.
00:32:08
Speaker
What the shoes did absolutely was a problem, right? Like that is a simple fix. You don't leave your kids unattended for a certain period of time.
00:32:20
Speaker
the ages you might have to play with. But I think a simple line of you don't leave kids that are unable to maturely take care of themselves for an extended period of time.
00:32:38
Speaker
I know it's kind of vague. I know it's very general. It's not throwing the hammer down, which everybody wants to do anytime something bad happens. But once again, when you do that, nothing good ever comes from it.
00:32:56
Speaker
The good thing that came from this is child abandonment is an issue that needed to be addressed. Did they go a little too far? I don't know. 14 years, over 24 hours. I think 13 is a good time. what are you going to do? 24 hours is a long time also.
00:33:15
Speaker
i like I don't know. Parents out there, leave a comment in the comment section. Tell me what you think. How long would you leave your kids alone, right? How long would you trust them not to burn down the house?
00:33:27
Speaker
I don't know what that time frame is. But the reason why this all interests me was because, wow, some parents out there wilding and it's not always the way that you think it would be. Sometimes it's just bona fide neglect.
00:33:42
Speaker
Nine and four, I would love to do a follow-up to find out because they're a little bit younger than my brother, right?
00:33:52
Speaker
I would think, well, I would think that Nicole is my sister's age, close to it. And Diane is a little bit younger than my brother. So they're adults. They're getting ready to hit. they're in One is in their 40s. One is getting ready to hit their 40s.
00:34:08
Speaker
I would love to see how their life turned out. I would love to see or know how, you know, they felt affected by what their parents did.
00:34:20
Speaker
Nicole and Diane Shue, if any chance this hits you or you see this, love to have you on the show. Would love to ask you so many questions because I feel like this is a fascinating story, not just about how...
00:34:37
Speaker
that early upbringing affected you in your adult years. Not just about how that neglect and the parents just saying, we don't want anything to do with it, how you have felt by that, but also the case law that came after it.
00:34:54
Speaker
ah I'm not a parent, but I'm somebody's child. And we were all by ourselves back in the home back in the day, not for a whole week, while our parents were in Acapulco.
00:35:06
Speaker
That never happened. But, wow, to not even have their neighbors say, hey, look, we're going be gone for a week. We're leave the girls at the house. Maybe you check in on them every day. That's that's crazy to me. That's absolutely crazy time.
00:35:21
Speaker
But what's also crazy, Tom, is if you're not careful, and I can't stress this enough, if you're not careful, you can have an overreaction to something that can be horrific or is horrific, and it only causes moreg more damage.
00:35:42
Speaker
It's just something to think about. Right. That's all I'm doing. I'm just asking the question. All I'm saying is maybe just maybe before we react, we take a step back, observe.
00:36:01
Speaker
And then move forward. Just take a breath. That's all we got to do if we want to solve problems.
Political Resignation and Pension Controversy
00:36:16
Speaker
All right, Jay, I got you on here for a special episode. One, because I'm a little under the weather and I need help to carry the show. And two, because there were some ah important stuff that happened that we took our little break on Thanksgiving and we couldn't address.
00:36:29
Speaker
One of them being Marjorie Taylor Greene deciding to retire from Congress. So Marjorie Taylor Greene announced that she was leaving count Congress in a way that is ah lets her qualify for a federal pension under the same F.E.R.S. rules that apply to all members, which sparked criticism that she timed her retirement to lock in taxpayer funded benefits. So we all know that she's been beefing with Trump.
00:36:59
Speaker
She took about a week ah of Trump bashing her, which is crazy. just a week. AOC and Jasmine Crockett have been taking so much more. And she decided to hang it up. But she decided to hang it up while also getting this pension and also still voting along Republican lines.
00:37:18
Speaker
So I know you were a little bit tiffed about all of this. I want to let's give you an opportunity to explain to the audience why you're annoyed by all of this. Yeah, I'm annoyed because she's annoying. So she announced her retirement or that she was resigning from the U.S. House of Representatives on November twenty first via video she posted on social media. And the reasons that she gives for why she is resigning is like... disillusionment with a toxic partisanship and internal conflict within her party and the public falling out with Trump. Right. And she said she essentially didn't want her district to be subjected to a hurtful and hateful primary. Right.
00:38:13
Speaker
So her resignation effective date is January fifth of 2026. That will be her final day in Congress. So here's why that's important.
00:38:23
Speaker
Okay. Why January 5th, 2026 is important because she began serving in Congress on January 3rd, 2021, her resignation date gives her just over the five year minimum required to qualify for a congressional pension.
00:38:43
Speaker
Right. The pension
00:38:48
Speaker
typically would amount to about $265,000 over her lifetime. It's like $8,700 a year. It's not a lot, right?
00:39:02
Speaker
That's not really... It's extra money, but it's not that much, right? But, like, here's also what's important, right? Yes, she qualifies for her pension, and that pension is minor relative to her net worth, which is about $25 million. dollars And now you can say, make insider trading claims, that that but the point is, CIS has...
00:39:33
Speaker
massively benefited from being in Congress. Her whole thing about were like disillusionment and, oh, I wanted to drain the swamp, but it can't, you know, whatever. Like, it's it's bull. Like, it's bull, right? So...
00:39:52
Speaker
She gets ah she wanted to make sure she's going to get that to 265,000. Right. She's going make sure she get that. Right. That's how much the benefit will pay like over the lifetime, like with a typical life expectancy. And not not to mention that she's made millions, tens tens of millions. Right.
00:40:11
Speaker
In this seat. So it's.
00:40:16
Speaker
It's bull, number one. Critics have argued that the timing of her resignation isn't an accident, that she timed it so she could secure her pension. And then among her constituents here in Georgia, it's pretty divided, like, right?
00:40:34
Speaker
Some focus on her controversial legacy and, you know, the desire for new leadership. Some, you know, see the resignation as a chance for change because they're tired of like cost of living, health care affordability, housing affordability, things like that. But anyway, the point is she's full of crap.
00:41:03
Speaker
She wanted to make sure she secured that extra little bit of change in addition to the tens of millions that she made. She did nothing. Like, let's also be clear. She did nothing.
00:41:15
Speaker
ah put forth bills, may I think, but like none of them went anywhere because they were all rooted in just hate. So she came to Congress, she did nothing for her constituents, she made a buttload of money and she's gonna get a pension on our dime. So there you have it. Marjorie Taylor Greene, good riddance.
00:41:41
Speaker
You are a colossal waste of space, and I hope that you fade into obscurity like Sarah Palin. With all your millions. You know, what she did was based—what she did, we've seen this movie. Eddie Murphy. Eddie Murphy.
00:42:02
Speaker
did a movie about getting into Congress, scheming and plotting, because he was a con artist in the movie, called Distinguished Gentleman, getting in, getting all this money, getting all these kickbacks and getting out. Also, well, he was from Florida, not Georgia, but the South, y'all are neighbors. And that's all she did was a grift. You know what?
Eddie Murphy's Career and Challenges
00:42:22
Speaker
Get your money, boo-boo. i You know... No. Yeah. No, get your money. And like, what whatever. Like, that's what that's the American way. The American way is to scam and get your money.
00:42:34
Speaker
Now, that's true. Scamming is 100 percent the American way. And scamming is Georgia. Georgia. Let me tell you some scam capital of the world. I mean, they got it.
00:42:46
Speaker
Atlanta and Miami got a good run for their money as far as scam capital of the world. Yeah. But yeah full scamming. You're like, how are people in luxury apartments with no job scams?
00:42:59
Speaker
I'm going to little detour because once again, ladies gentlemen, now I don't feel too good. Y'all are getting the best that I could give to you right now. Speaking of Eddie Murphy, I watched the documentary. The Eddie Murphy documentary on Netflix is really good. And what I learned is that um Eddie Murphy is neurodivergent ADHD.
00:43:19
Speaker
Yes. You knew that. You could tell that from movies like the clumps where he's playing every character. It isn't because he thinks he's the only funny person in the world. It's because he's got a bunch of characters running around in his mind at all times and he has to get it out.
00:43:36
Speaker
Like he has to. Yeah. Did you did you notice, though? He was like, yeah, i I remember I had OCD. You know, I would get up and check and make sure the stove was off. And I would lay down for about an hour and get up and check the stove was off. And I remember watching the program and the program was like, oh, this is ah this is something. he was like, oh, this is something. And then it was like mental health.
00:44:00
Speaker
Oh, hell no. I ain't going have no mental health issues. And then I just stopped. I was like, wait a minute, bro. That's not how that works. okay you I mean, it is for about people for for black folks of that generation, right? Like it is like they do not prioritize their mental health. Don't prioritize their mental health. He also said he used to make these little sounds.
00:44:19
Speaker
He might have a touch of the tism as well. Yeah, vocal stimming, for sure. yeah my you kid he can't just be quiet like it like he's walking around the house doing stuff, making little jokes and stuff. I mean, but I do these all these same things. This is what I learned, that Eddie Murphy...
00:44:37
Speaker
It's neo-divergent, ADHD, he got it all. Little touch of the tizzle, all of it. And you and you know it too by the amount of ad-libbing that he does, right? Like he can't be quiet in a scene. He got a, when you think of love, like that's not, that wasn't part of the scene. That wasn't in the script. That was just, Roxanne also, when he sang Roxanne, not in the script. So like these are, but he can't be quiet.
00:45:04
Speaker
No. He has to make noises. Yeah. Yeah, he's definitely on the spectrum, for sure. ah Still great. You know, I forgot. That's part of what makes him funny. Right. ah And he's hilarious. It's interesting watching that documentary. And I heard this before when he was doing Harlem Nights. And he was just like, oh, Red Foxx is the funniest person. Just naturally funniest person that I've ever been around. He's just feel like, you just be hanging around Red Foxx. Red Foxx is funny. And I feel like people say that about Eddie.
00:45:33
Speaker
You know, when Chris Rock and Kevin Hart and Dave Chappelle say they go to his house just to hang out. It's like, Eddie's just funny without ever trying to be funny. He's meaning be. Yes. He's meaning to be. Funny.
00:45:46
Speaker
You see it in his interviews, too, right? Like, whenever he's on talk shows or any... I loved his Inside the Actor studio. He can't help but but say something funny. And it's like, I think he was trying to be serious, but he he just...
00:46:04
Speaker
And literally just seeing Eddie Murphy makes me start to giggle in anticipation of what he's going to say. But even when he's just trying to say something in general, he it he can't help it. There's gonna be something comical about it.
00:46:21
Speaker
I do not think that he could come back to stand-up. Not because he can't do it, just because no matter how great it is, it won't be great enough. Because I don't think you can live up to... It'd be like... It'd be like if you could pluck Michael Jordan in his prime, right? What he was that everybody gives his reverence to and put him in the league right now. He'd be great. He'd be the best player in the league. But no matter what he did, it wouldn't be great enough.
00:46:47
Speaker
You're like, he only dropped 40? Why didn't he get 45? Like, you're going to be anticipating Eddie saying something funny. Kind of like coming to America 2. yeah That's exactly what it was. If coming to America 2... Or run till that.
00:47:00
Speaker
i You know what? Martin Lawrence. I don't even remember watching that. Exactly. But like Coming to America, if it hadn't been called Coming to America 2, that's a funny movie.
00:47:15
Speaker
Yeah. That's a really funny movie. Yes, but in comparison. But if that's right. So when he was like, yeah, you know, I get the itch and then, you know, maybe I'm like, don't do it, brother. Just don't do it.
00:47:27
Speaker
Don't do it. you You haven't done it in. Yeah. Let raw and delirious be what they are. there's There's no need. we don't we i know there are people who talk about it, right? Who talk about him coming back. But honestly, we don't need it. You've given us more than enough.
00:47:46
Speaker
You've given us more than enough for a lifetime, for multiple lifetimes. Like just... Like, retire to stand up on top. Just leave it where it is, retire it on top. Like, that, we're fine with that.
00:48:02
Speaker
but We're totally fine with that. I am. Yeah, I am. I don't need another stand up. Because i don't... Here's the crazy thing. When Michael Jordan came back and played for the Wizards, he was actually good.
00:48:16
Speaker
Yeah. He was actually good. But he wasn't Michael Jordan. Right. and And so, like, Muhammad Ali's last fight, like, Mike Tyson's last fight. Like, when we saw Mike Tyson take on Jake Paul, was like, nah, I don't want to see that.
00:48:31
Speaker
Yeah. Yes, that was a that was also what immediately came to mind. It's like, it honestly, for Jake Paul, you don't really get any points for that.
00:48:42
Speaker
You don't really get any cool points for that because it's like a 60-year-old man. That I knew as soon as he tripped on the entrance, was like, oh, this ain't going to be good.
00:48:53
Speaker
This man can barely walk. That's not... You're not fighting Iron Mike Tyson. He would die. He would die. Yes. You would die. Yeah, literally. Just dead. He would die.
00:49:03
Speaker
Yeah. You're not fighting Iron Mike Tyson. You're fighting a grandfather, right? And that's the kind of the same thing with Eddie Murphy. Like, we wouldn't be getting young...
00:49:14
Speaker
Eddie Murphy raw Eddie Murphy delirious, we'd be getting Eddie the grandfather. Like it's a different Eddie's in a different phase of his life. Which would still be funny. No shade because we still want the movies Eddie. Like still want those. I don't know if you saw it feels like a small movie. I think I saw Netflix. The pickup.
00:49:35
Speaker
i With Kiki Palmer and ah ah ah the dude from SNL. Yeah. Tommy, I want to say Tommy Davidson. It is obviously not Tommy Davidson, but his name is, his name is like David or Davidson something. Pete Davidson. Pete Davidson. Yeah, Pete Davidson. yeah That was funny.
00:49:53
Speaker
I thought it was funny. Like, we still want the movies, Eddie. to We don't want that to stop. But like, you know, the stand-up, you're in a different phase of life. And so the stand-up that we would be expecting is not the one we're going to get. Would it be funny? Of course, it's Eddie Murphy.
00:50:11
Speaker
Yes, it would be funny, but still there's there would be an expectation there that we knock that we're just not going to get the same thing. like I keep expecting killing him softly from Dave Chappelle and just have not been getting it for the past whole half a dozen.
00:50:29
Speaker
the reason why The reason why you don't find Dave Chappelle funny is because of his continuous jokes on trans people. Even if we cut those, like even we cut them, even if I mute them, nah, I'm not getting the same. I'm not getting that, hey, baby, like I'm not getting the same.
00:50:47
Speaker
ah Like post Chappelle show is a different Dave Chappelle. You're right. It's a different Dave Chappelle. I think he's actually, more brilliant aside from his trans jokes. Like when I watch his standups, it's just like, he's got it. And even Eddie was like, yeah, when I think about the the greatest standup right now, it it'd be Chappelle. Chappelle will be in that era where I was or Richard Pryor because because he is. yeah But it goes to another larger issue of when people do things great and then they take a long time off, I almost would be like, nah, don't,
00:51:24
Speaker
but Yeah, we don't need another Lauryn Hill album. i don't I know there's not one in the works. I know there's never going to be one in the works. But Miseducation, we don't need another. that that I wouldn't mind and another Outkast album.
00:51:37
Speaker
That's something that I wouldn't. add yeah that That's something that I wouldn't mind. But it has to be a like, really, there's no classic one. Like you could say AT Aliens was like their classic. But I even like when they started like venturing out into different things. Like I even like, you know, Aquimini. Aquimini is my favorite album. Aquimini is my favorite album. Yeah, for sure. And Stankonia when they're venturing out into different sounds. I just don't like, okay.
00:52:08
Speaker
I don't want the flute. I don't want that flute either. Take that flute and throw it. If Andre 3000 is going team back up with Big Boy, you got you gotta give us hip hop.
00:52:21
Speaker
Give us hip hop. It could be you know still like representative of where they are right now in their lives and things like that, but but give us hip ho like like I know that you both can absolutely do. Yeah, I mean, some people take ah take a while off and I'm just like, I'm good. like oh yeah The only person that took a while off and and actually he didn't, I want to say Jay-Z, he took a while off from the rap that I liked.
00:52:47
Speaker
He had a couple of albums after um after the Black album. He did some other albums and it was like that grown-up rap and I was like, I'm not feeling this. it shouldn Honestly, like he he he marketed the Black album like that was it.
00:53:03
Speaker
Like that was his finale. It was supposed to be. now league it was supposed And it should have been. Well, nope. Because then he came. He had some albums that i I mean, he had some great songs like New York with Alicia Keys, this great song. But like those albums, I'm not really feeling.
00:53:16
Speaker
Yeah. American Gangster. When he went back, when he went back, when he took it back to his drug dealer, Reasonable Doubt. I love that album. That's the soundtrack.
00:53:28
Speaker
There is a soundtrack album, but he he was inspired by watching the movie and went and did the whole album. They gave him like an early cut of the movie. He got an early screening of the movie.
00:53:39
Speaker
And he got so inspired by watching the movie, Denzel and all that stuff, that he went out and made an album, American Gangster. But it's not the soundtrack to American Gangster. There's an American Gangster soundtrack, but there's an album, American Gangster. And it is... Well... No, go ahead. It's like... it's like It's Reasonable Doubt, Blueprint, and then i almost have to throw American Gangsta in there. American Gangsta might be my third favorite.
00:54:06
Speaker
like i I love that album. I don't think I've heard it, actually. Yeah, you know, Hello Brooklyn, Rock Boys. Doesn't ring a bell.
00:54:17
Speaker
You got listen to it today. Doesn't ring a bell. But I'll tell you somebody who waited a really long time and came out with an amazing album. Got Rustem D'Angelo. So Voodoo came out in 2020. And then Black Messiah came out in 2024. mean, 2014. it was like a 15 year. 2000 and then in 2014.
00:54:32
Speaker
fourteen so it was like a fifteen two thousand two thousand and then and twenty yeah fourteen Voodoo came out in black messiah came out in twenty fourteen yes don' know album Oh, top tier. i went to hear him live at this place called Tabernacle. So I'm very happy that i at least got to see D'Angelo in concert. He did like 89 encores. It was fantastic. My feet were killing me. It was wonderful. Yeah, great album. But 15 years, 15 year gap. Well, if you I guess if you're great, you can do it.
00:55:08
Speaker
Yeah. For the most part. For the most part. Yeah, I don't. like i don't leave leave Leave it on top. Leave it alone. And I get, though, as an artist still wanting to make work, like like still wanting to create art. Like, I get that.
00:55:26
Speaker
So I guess it's hard for us as an audience to be like, we're good. you did ah You made a masterpiece and that was enough. like you know We're good. But them also still being like, yeah, but I'm i'm not dead yet. like I would like to keep creating.
00:55:42
Speaker
To me, you are. To me, you're dead. It's tough. I don't know. Come up with a new persona, change your name, be a different artist or something like that. Something like that. Just reinvent yourself or something. i don't know.
00:55:54
Speaker
Maybe that's the key to the longevity, could right? Because... Beyonce for every album is reinvented. so Yeah, but it's consistent though. She doesn't take long breaks. That's true.
00:56:05
Speaker
That's true. If you're doing it consistently, cool. I'm talking about those artists that take long breaks in whatever they do, right? Like, the only other person that's an actor that took a really long break and then came back and gave a masterpiece performance. I think we're thinking of the same person. Joe pressure joe Pesci. Joe Pesci came back and the movie itself is big lie, but the Irishman,
00:56:29
Speaker
yeah His acting in The Irishman. Good God. When you're in a movie with Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, and it's a Martin Scorsese joint.
00:56:40
Speaker
don't know say it like a s Spite Lee, but Martin Scorsese joint. Joe Pesci is the best actor in that movie. And he is brilliant. But not everybody do it. an amazing actor. A lot of people, you know...
00:56:57
Speaker
he's Because he's done a lot of comedy in his career, people forget that he is actually an amazing dramatic actor. You know who else is like that? John C. Reilly. Because he did a lot of work with like, um oh my God, what's his name from from Saturday Night Live? They did Step Brothers together. Ferrell. Will Ferrell.
00:57:18
Speaker
Yeah, because he did a lot of comedy. People forget that his early career and ah a lot of his dramatic acting. so he played dr He played Dr. Jerry Buss in the HBO si series Showtime.
00:57:31
Speaker
Brilliant. John C. Reilly is one of my favorite actors. People forget that he was in Boogie Nights. Yes. And Talladega Nights. Like he has yes he has this he has this guy. he And...
00:57:46
Speaker
Whenever him and Will Ferrell are in a movie together, he's the funnier one to me. He had yeah one line in Guardians of the Galaxy. He had not... It was more than one line, but he had this line in Guardians of the Galaxy.
00:57:59
Speaker
And there was like something like, is he an an asshole? Is he a 100% asshole or a dick or something like that? And John C. Rowling was like, well, nobody is a 100% dick all the time. And it was just this one line that was just classic. He's...
00:58:14
Speaker
Fantastic. But he's fantastic he's always working. He doesn't take breaks. We were talking about people that take long breaks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But like just ah people being underestimated. Yeah. But yeah, Joe Pesci. And I just think it's because he just retired prematurely. just never lost it. He's old.
00:58:35
Speaker
I don't I there is a lot of old folks out there still acting. I think Joe had more in him. We obviously see it in the Irishman. Like I feel like there was still more there. And so but yeah, long break, came back, killed it.
00:58:54
Speaker
I think some people confuse just because people are good at something that that's what they love to do. Yeah. There are a lot of athletes that that play professional sports that are good at the sport. They don't necessarily love it. Yeah. They don't love it.

And typically with the arts, you love the creation of it. You don't love the business of it. Mm-hmm. And so, like, i I have a friend, excellent chef, will never open a restaurant,
00:59:22
Speaker
because she doesn't like the business of it. yeah She just likes creating and watching people enjoy what she makes. But like the business side of it, no interest in it, none. So i get that the business, I think, becomes overwhelming. And that's ah this is what I'm saying specifically for the arts. Yeah.
00:59:45
Speaker
Typically people get into the arts, you ain't doing it for the money. Like you're you're really not because the chances are nine times out of 10, you ain't gonna make no money. at Yeah. It's very rare that you become a star in music, in movies, television, whatever it is, writing, it's art, you know, visual art, whatever, you very rarely become

Speaker
a star. You know, how many Basquiat's are there?
