Election night had folks celebrating — but Bruce and J. Aundrea are like, “slow down, we still got midterms.” In this Sibling Happy Hour episode of Unsolicited Perspectives, they break down Virginia making history with its first female governor after 35 years since Douglas Wilder, how Democrats outperformed in key races, and why GOP complaints about redistricting are hilarious when they’ve been gerrymandering for years. Then they pivot to the good stuff: the education system in America — why we learned about the Bermuda Triangle, Amelia Earhart, and quicksand — and how all that “useless” elementary school knowledge was actually training us for critical thinking, problem-solving, and social skills. Finally, Bruce brings the smoke for everybody letting folks wear shoes in the house 😅 and cites a Washington Post story about germs, allergens, and kids crawling on dirty floors. #election2025 #bluewave #americaneducation #AbigailSpanberger #homehygiene

Sibling Happy Hour with Jay Andrea

00:00:47
Speaker
with your enemies. enemies On today's episode, it's the Sibling Happy Hour. I'm here with my sis, Jay Andrea. We're going to be dilly-dadding a little bit, and then we're going talking about education in America, and then we're going talking about, is your house nasty?
00:01:00
Speaker
But that's enough of the intro. Let's get to the show.

Confrontation and Violence: Social Media Story

00:01:10
Speaker
What up, sis? What up, brudda? I can't call it. I can't call it. Before we hopped in, it saw something funny on the internet um the that I want to share. On the interwebs?
00:01:21
Speaker
On the interwebs. So this this woman does a tweet, because that's who going to call them, because I don't know what you call them now. Xies? Like, they didn't even come up with a name. So, like, if we still call it tweets, it's Twitter.
00:01:35
Speaker
It's Twitter, right? yeah So she comes up with a tweet, and it says, this girl on Facebook got jumped by four people at a party. She's been on there all day catching all the hoes one by one, beating the F out of them.
00:01:48
Speaker
They talk about she the female John Wick. and And so this woman, this woman, her name is Ray Monroe. She's oh Facebook. And she is literally filming herself catching each one of the women that jumped her in different locations and beating the hell out of them.
00:02:06
Speaker
Yeah, I mean. Most of them on Facebook. This is hilarious. Listen, here's the thing. I never understood jumping people. If you got a problem with one person, then you fight that person. and Jumping people to me is like, okay, y'all can't fight, so y'all need to fight in a group.
00:02:25
Speaker
Mm-hmm. In order to win this fight, because you know if you if you fight me one-on-one, can get your ass whooped. And that's what's happening. She's finding them. Right.
00:02:38
Speaker
All y'all had something to with this. All y'all, this is a very Kill Bill. And I, and up you know what? You gotta do what you gotta do. I mean, I don't condone violence, but you know, I for not guess.
00:02:53
Speaker
I saw one video because people started reporting her and they started taking some videos down. but The first video is still up. She said, number one, tag the woman that she was...
00:03:08
Speaker
gonna beat down. Caught her in like a store, maybe a dollar store CVS or something like that a you' thick or commence it to whoin that and that ass.
00:03:19
Speaker
All across the store knocking over shelves and everything and now I want to see all the other videos because they said that she's systematically going down the line catching them, recording it and whooping their ass. I love it.
00:03:34
Speaker
I don't love it but I understand. No, I love it. Why don't you love Because i I just don't condone fighting. You know, at my big age, like, I was thinking about this earlier. I was like, can I even fight anymore? Like, I haven't been in a fight since I was 18.
00:03:50
Speaker
Okay, that was quite some time ago. You put your hands on me, you going to jail. Like, you going to jail, there's going to be a criminal criminal and civil trial because I'm going to sue you, like, for my emotional distress. Like, don't don't touch me.
00:04:06
Speaker
I don't fight. i have, you know, assets. I don't, I got things to lose. Like, it not a lot, but I got a little bit, and I don't want to lose it. You know what saying? So, no, I ain't going fight.
00:04:20
Speaker
no. I literally had this conversation with somebody earlier. And the last time I was officially in a fight had to have been like 2001, 2002. Mm-hmm. It was. It was 2002. That was my last fight. So I may have told this story on the podcast before.
00:04:38
Speaker
But I was in a bar in Adams Morgan. Mm-hmm. And I was drunk and I was surrounded. And I was fighting everybody. And I was by myself, because my two boys weren't around. and And all of a sudden, I see my short friend jump in the middle and just start swinging with me.
00:04:54
Speaker
Now, we got kicked out. But what I remember was that out of all the punches that were being thrown by both sides, didn't nobody land anything. Oh, y'all was just wild swinging.
00:05:06
Speaker
We was just wild swinging. Not connecting. Now, the last time, I stopped trying to get into fights. Yeah. And tried to avoid them. After it was senior year, I wasn't quite 18 yet, but it was like, I already graduated. It was the summer.
00:05:21
Speaker
o And I got in a fight with this dude. And I hit him so hard that you know those sounds that the the movies make? where Yeah, yeah. Like it it made that sound and he was laid out in the bushes. I didn't knock him out.
00:05:35
Speaker
Yeah. But he was laid out in the bushes. I was like, oh. I'm at the point now where I could really, really seriously hurt somebody. Nope. nope No reason for me to be fighting anymore. yes I'm not going to jail.
00:05:46
Speaker
Yeah. I don't know what was going down in 2002, but I also got into a fight. It was it it it was my freshman year of college. and then and And after I was done, I was like, I'm not doing this anymore.
00:05:59
Speaker
I didn't even want to. I was defending myself. I'm like, don't do this same anymore. I don't want to do this. Yeah, I'm not doing this no more. I'm not going to be one of them one of them girls, one of them women that just be out brawling. Nah, nah. Don't touch me.
00:06:18
Speaker
i mean, if somebody touched you, you ain't got no choice but to fight. I'm saying don't touch me. Like, yes, I'm going to defend myself. But also, please know that litigation is coming. Well...

Political Landscape and Election Outcomes

00:06:32
Speaker
It's coming. Speaking of fighting... Mm-hmm. Sometimes, like Public Enemy enemies said, you got to fight the powers that be. True. And Democrats yesterday day were filming this after the election day. Mm-hmm.
00:06:49
Speaker
And Democrats won... overwhelmingly in so many different elections. yeah So you have Mikey Sherrill and Abigail Spanberger. Abigail Spanberger is now my governor here in the state of Virginia, the first female governor.
00:07:06
Speaker
And I made a post on on my personal Instagram. I took a picture of my voting sticker on my chest. And then as I was voting, it kind of dawned on me, we lived in Virginia when Virginia had its first Black governor.
00:07:19
Speaker
Yes. Governor Douglas Wilder. He was elected, I think in 89. He took the office in 1990.
00:07:27
Speaker
Here we are 35 years later, we finally get a female governor. And in the post, I said, I mean, they said progress was a slow process, but 35 years, we need to speed up this progress because that's a generation.
00:07:42
Speaker
yeah And then somebody said, that's actually two generations. I'm like, no, it's not. It's a generation. I don't care what they say. It's not every 18 years. It's like every 30 years is a generation.
00:07:53
Speaker
And that's just too long. Yeah. that's just too long. I mean, you know, i feel like we've been ready for a woman in the presidency, but the rest of America doesn't feel that way. So... we hit ah yeah You know, where' it's still going to be a long road.
00:08:12
Speaker
Obviously, there's still a lot of gender based discrimination. Right. And yeah and we saw it with the with getting the right to vote.
00:08:25
Speaker
in the In the first place, right? that Men, yeah Black men were given the right to vote before white women or women in general. So, yeah, gender-based discrimination is still very much alive and well in the this country, for sure.
00:08:42
Speaker
Look, let me tell you something. This is what I've always said.
00:08:47
Speaker
White men do not care about women in general at all. And the only time they care about white women, the only time, is when they feel like a Black man may have defiled that white woman.
00:08:59
Speaker
That's only time they've ever defended white women. Yeah, but even then, it's it still doesn't feel like it's really about the woman. It's more about a like a power possession of thing. yep Like, you have no right to touch whiteness in that way.
00:09:15
Speaker
that so much it still doesn't feel so much about... the actual woman. And you'll see, you see that when it's, when it's, you know, a white perpetrator and a white victim, right? Oh yeah, I said only, they only care. Yeah.
00:09:30
Speaker
Yeah. and When it's somebody not them. But we had this conversation. That's the patriarchy, right? Like, the patriarchy says to be a man or to exhibit, like, masculine traits is to be the antithesis of femininity.
00:09:45
Speaker
So what happens? They grow up despising all of the things that are considered feminine. we let We're letting people into a private conversation. That wasn't private? with No, we recorded, but that was the after hours.
00:09:58
Speaker
I mean, they're not going to get the whole... I'm bringing it around town. Okay. All right. yeah Yeah. So it's... You know, you can't interrupt because then there goes my train of thought. It's gone.
00:10:11
Speaker
It done left the station. You were talking about... It done left the station. I'm still on the platform. That's...
00:10:18
Speaker
Jay, you were talking about... Damn it, I don't even know what you was talking about. Our audience is gonna be like, yo, they had the memory of Annette. Yeah, because yeah. What I was talking about was... What happens is men grow up despising things that are seen societally as feminine or attached to womanhood. So what happens? Well, you're gonna not like the thing that exhibits all the qualities you're supposed to be doing the opposite of.
00:10:51
Speaker
So you have now a situation where do men like women? Or do men date women for other men?
00:11:03
Speaker
For the approval of other men? But they don't actually like women because everything that is supposed to be attached to femininity is everything they're supposed to be against, like, fundamentally within themselves. mean, so person ah personally love women.
00:11:22
Speaker
But that was a long process yeah for me to get to because it's a it's a deprogramming. But back to... The election night, Zoran won the mayorship. I guess it's the mayoral race. Mayoral race, yeah.
00:11:37
Speaker
Yeah, shout out to McDonald's. Look, this is my thing about Andrew Cuomo. I was like, look, you resigned from being a governor out of disgrace.
00:11:48
Speaker
You ran against Zoran in the primary. and lost by 12 points. Then you decided to still run anyway as an independent, and you still lost. At what point does this 67-year-old man says, my political career is over with, and I should be okay with that? I done some cool things, besides outside of my groping.
00:12:09
Speaker
hu I done some cool things. Kind of. You know what, this is it. But we got a new governor in New York City. Yeah, I mean, Cuomo is following the the Rudy Giuliani school of not retiring.
00:12:22
Speaker
Walk away. Sit down somewhere. Now you are, like, leaving in disgrace. Like, leaving public eye in disgrace. Like, just... Well, no, that he did that when he... when he decided to not be governor anymore and gave that up. That was disgrace.
00:12:39
Speaker
This is just... But now it's just... It's piling on the disgrace. Yeah. It's just piling it on. Like, just... just... please, stop. But, no, uh, Mamdani... Wow.
00:12:51
Speaker
That... I mean, they, ah Republicans and conservatives, pulled out all ah stops. Yeah, they did. As far as, like, the smear campaign of Mondani. And so the fact that the people of New York is like, I think you forgot who we are.
00:13:10
Speaker
The young people in New York, let's be clear, because some people over 45 were still for Cuomo. Yeah, but I think they were like, I think you forgot who we are. Like, we don't take kindly to being told what to do or being smeared and all this stuff.
00:13:23
Speaker
Like, nah. And so for this man to be out proud socialist, Democratic socialist, and and to win in one of the most influential cities in this country is a very good day.
00:13:38
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. ah Also, in California, Proposition 50 passed, allowing the state legislators to redraw the districts ahead of the midterms, seen as a strategic move against Republican gerrymandering.
00:13:49
Speaker
So, you know, Texas was doing something. Some other states was doing stuff. So California was like, all right, well, we're going redraw our district maps, which is going to give us five more Democratic seats in the House of Representatives for the midterms.
00:14:02
Speaker
And then they're saying, hey, Maryland, Virginia, you need to do the same thing. New York City need to do the same thing. If this is what they want to do in certain states yeah to try and give states more Republican seats, Democratic states going to do the same.
00:14:16
Speaker
It's funny because Mike Johnson and Trump sitting here saying that's illegal. They can't do that. And then at the same time, talking out the side of their mouth by saying, but you know what?
00:14:26
Speaker
Republican states need to do it. So which one is it? Is it legal or is it illegal? Is it cool for certain states to it or not cool for certain states to do it? What is it? i don't know what it is. Yeah. ah The Republicans in power should not be the bar or the barometer by which we judge our own ethics or a moral.
00:14:44
Speaker
but Okay, so. Yeah, definitely not. And they definitely aren't the bar for what's legal and not legal. but like They're not that either. So they really don't have a leg to stand on and we shouldn't be listening and I'm glad we're not.
00:14:59
Speaker
No, meet them where they are. Meet them where they are. you guys using gerrymandering to disenfranchise specifically, might largely minority voters, right? to To seize power or to or to preserve power.
00:15:16
Speaker
Okay. You realize the democratic states, some of the largest and economically powerful ones in this country, are but cool Yeah, we were, go low, we go high.
00:15:35
Speaker
i don't think we should do that anymore. And I love that Gavin Newsom like this was led a lot by Tim Walz, right? When he started calling him weird. But maybe he started it.
00:15:47
Speaker
Yeah. Cause we saw just how effective that was because they had no recourse except to say, I'm not weird, you know, but this makes you look more weird. Tim Walz, I don't think that was deliberate.
00:15:58
Speaker
I think that Tim Walz is kind of was just like talking. He was like, he was trying to come up with an adjective to describe the way that they act. And he was like, he's just, It's just weird. And I actually hate the term weird.
00:16:09
Speaker
I like using unique better instead of weird for like all contexts. I hate when people call other people weird. I'm like, no, they're just unique. And they are Unique and weird are two different words and they have two different meanings.
00:16:26
Speaker
And i don't know sometimes folks are weird. All right. Well, regardless, Democrats achieved key wins beyond just the marquee contests of the Virginia governorship, the New Jersey governorship, and the New York mayoral ship.
00:16:41
Speaker
Yeah. They showed strength in state legislators and other down-the-ballot races, including states such as your state of Georgia and Pennsylvania.
00:16:51
Speaker
Yeah. so Republicans are scared today. Democrats are joyful. yeah I think everybody needs to bring down the temperature. Yeah. because democrats I don't think Democrats should be that joyful. Midterms are still coming. We still have a less lot of work. Yeah.
00:17:09
Speaker
Still have a lot of work. Democrats should not be so joyful. Republicans should not be so down in the dumps. Somehow this stuff always kind of seems to even out.
00:17:19
Speaker
yeah But you've done some work, Democrats. You've done some work. You found some messaging that works to people works for people. Lean into that.
00:17:30
Speaker
And so maybe you can make some change. I don't think they did. I don't think, I don't, I think a majority of this is the dissatisfaction with Republicans right now.
00:17:47
Speaker
Because what people are, especially those who supported Trump, are finding is that the government benefits they got, right, was...
00:18:01
Speaker
Yeah, they they might have packaged it differently or something like that. Oh, you don't have... I'm not for Obamacare, but you have ACA. It's the same thing. It's the exact same thing.
00:18:12
Speaker
So the packaging of what you get, you think you're getting something different than a government subsidy. But really, what you're getting is, in fact, the same thing that people of color are getting.
00:18:30
Speaker
And when it gets yeah taken away, when things are no longer affordable, especially here in Georgia, because we have a really big issue with price gouging with our with Georgia Power, the electric company.
00:18:43
Speaker
Nothing's affordable. People are losing their government benefits. And they're tired. I don't know. i can't think of anything specifically...
00:18:56
Speaker
That really, to me, was like the rallying cry for Democrats. You just hit the nail on the head. You just described it. It was cost of living.
00:19:06
Speaker
Yeah, but how much that... That's all part of cost of living. How much of that is is really rooted in their messaging or actually just people being tired of the actual effects?
00:19:17
Speaker
Yeah.

Impact of Federal Job Losses in Virginia

00:19:18
Speaker
Both. Both things can be true. and Me being here in Virginia, Spanberger, that's some of the things that she was talking about. And when they talk about Doge and federal layoffs and people being affected by the shutdown, it's happening in here. As somebody who owns different companies in this area that has clients...
00:19:38
Speaker
that are customers that work for the government. I'm personally seeing an effect to my business because Virginia employs the most federal workers more than any other state.
00:19:53
Speaker
yeah The majority of the federal workers are here in this state. So there was a lot of people that lost their jobs. And a lot of people right now, a lot of people, Ain't getting no money. Yeah. lot No money because they haven't been at work for 35 days. Well, I mean, you counted weekend days, but still 35 days.
00:20:12
Speaker
So some people have missed not one, but two paychecks. I know personally of people that are like, I got to call my folks for a little bit of a loan because, yeah, I'm going to get that money back, but I need that money now. Yeah, I got bills to pay now.

Political Leaders and Empathy Issues

00:20:28
Speaker
Yeah, so it's costs. It costs a living. Meanwhile, this dude is throwing a Great Gatsby party for Halloween and building ah a $300 million-plus ballroom that nobody asked for. one asked for.
00:20:43
Speaker
And it's like, who's going to be in there? and And also... Oh, there's people going to be there. There's MAGA people. Yeah, that's it. But, like, who... And honestly, a lot of y'all who are MAGA that think...
00:20:56
Speaker
that you gonna be in that ballroom, you ain't never gonna see one tile or speck of paint from that ballroom. You ain't never getting close to it. Please.
00:21:07
Speaker
This man has always been classist. But beyond that, it's the dicks of it. He does not care. There are people who cannot afford to put food on their table and keep a roof over their head.
00:21:22
Speaker
And this man is building a golden ballroom. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Doesn't, and that just lets you know, he does not care about the American people at all because he doesn't even care about the optics.
00:21:39
Speaker
Just not the not to mention the fact that it's morally wrong, right? Not to mention the fact that he's not doing his job. Right. it At any stretch of the imagination, this man is not doing his job.
00:21:52
Speaker
He is not representing the whole country. He represents only the people who who are his sycophants. Like, he does not care about the American people at all because he can't even bring himself to care about the optics.
00:22:07
Speaker
And then I think about any time there is a crisis and a loss of life or something in this country, right? It could be anything. The fact that this man can't even, for a full sentence, express his sympathies or compassion without pivoting to something else stupid that has to do... Like, I don't know if you saw... ah I can't remember the name, but, like, he can't even muster up the fake compassion yeah for people suffering.
00:22:45
Speaker
he When he's confronted with, no, people can't afford things, the prices of stuff are going, no, it's not. We're doing great. But you want to know why? Because people are telling him that. Well, no, there are certain people doing, like, if you got money in the stock market, if you got the 401k, like, if you got money, you're doing well, the economy is doing well for you.
00:23:02
Speaker
If you live in paycheck to paycheck, you're struggling. And that's part of the reason why the Democrats won. But another reason why the Democrats won is because...
00:23:14
Speaker
ah This next topic that we're about to talk about, and in it's education.

Critique of U.S. Education System

00:23:20
Speaker
Look, ladies and gentlemen, my sister sent me something, and she should have known that it was going to ruffle my feathers because I'm an educator.
00:23:27
Speaker
Yeah. But whatever. We're going to get into it. was funny, y'all. All right. We're going to get into it next.
00:23:43
Speaker
All right, Jay. You sent me something that that you should have known was going to ruffle my feathers because it's talking about the education. It was funny, but it was talking about the education system in America. So you want to tell yeah the people out here what you sent me?
00:24:01
Speaker
So it's a collection. i think as's he's done four parts. So it's a content creator. His name is Legit Pat. And the title of the series is Things We Had to Learn in Elementary School for Some Reason.
00:24:17
Speaker
And it's just like a bunch of stuff. And I'm like, we did learn this. And none of the, literally none of this has come up. in adult conversation.
00:24:28
Speaker
Why do I need to know that we don't know where Amelia Earhart is? Like who, what does that have to do with anything? And honestly, when he brought up the Bermuda Triangle, that was a real concern for me at seven.
00:24:44
Speaker
Like I was very concerned about the Bermuda Triangle and that people were disappearing. ah But it was not, it's not real. Like it's, it's a fake thing. Why, are kids learning this?
00:24:57
Speaker
Okay, so while all this stuff, and and you know me, I was like, there's a reason behind everything. And this is also, I talk about it all the time. This is also the reason why people who have never studied education should never be a part of the education process. I know there are parents out there that say, I should have a say in what yourre what my kids can learn.
00:25:20
Speaker
No, because you don't know how to teach your kids. You don't. If you want a say, homeschool them. Yep. Do that because you don't know how to teach your kids. So when we learn about the pu the Bermuda Triangle and tadpoles and clouds and and different rocks, salactites and salagmites and all this other stuff.
00:25:42
Speaker
Right. That you're like, I'll never use this stuff ever. You're kind of right. Those particular topics. you're probably never gonna use them again. But what they do is is they build a foundation in critical thinking, problem-solving, and adaptability when you get older.
00:26:03
Speaker
And so this is what the most formidable years For any person is their childhood. This is the reason why they tell you teach a kid a foreign language when they're a kid, because you're ah your' sponge, you're soaking in everything.
00:26:18
Speaker
So in elementary school, you are introduced to a a variety of different things. And it is for the critical thinking, the provisional, the adaptations for life, but also because you don't know what the hell you're going to be when you grow up.
00:26:32
Speaker
Right. You might think, like what the hell do I need to learn about tadpoles or anything? And then the next thing you know, you're some extreme biologist later on in life that's discovering how to clone human body parts so that when people lose limbs, they'll be able to grow them again. I don't know. it might lead to something like that. You don't know what you're going to become when you're a five year old kid.
00:26:56
Speaker
So it's better to throw everything at the wall to see what sticks. But what does quicksand have to do? That was another big, big worry for me it at six, seven years old, okay? I worried about very few things. One, the Bermuda Triangle. Two, quicksand. Three, piranhas.
00:27:17
Speaker
Like, these were real fears, okay? And literally, have never, I don't even know where you find quicksand. I've never seen a piranha. And I've been through Bermuda couple times and I'm just fine.
00:27:32
Speaker
Like this. So I i ah get it. High level. But looking back, it's like... the hell is that for?
00:27:45
Speaker
mean, yes. Yes. Like when you teach somebody, it's not always straightforward, but there's a method to all of the madness. And as adults, see, this is the problem that I have with adults when they get older and they have kids and they say, don't use none of that stuff that they taught me back in the day. Like a big thing that they taught us when we were younger is that we weren't going to have a calculator every time when we get older. Now, they didn't realize the technology was going to allow the fact that we had a calculator.
00:28:15
Speaker
But I guarantee you, because we had to learn those basic skills, now we know how to tip properly, right? We know what 20% is of bill So... of of of a bill is so yeah Why is it important to learn diverse topics in school?
00:28:33
Speaker
Because a exposure to variety of subjects encourages intellectual curiosity, adaptability by introducing students to unfamiliar ideas and experiences. It teaches basic information like gathering and analyst skills, and which is essential for evaluating new information as an adult, which is severely lacking right now.
00:28:57
Speaker
true debt so i always talk about how people don't have critical thinking skills and can't receive information analyze it and come to their own logical conclusion because they just don't have that ability to process information also people are piss poor at reading comprehension and this is the reason why these things are happening It's not because the schools are bad.
00:29:24
Speaker
It's not because teachers are bad. It's because the people that make a decision on the education program aren't educators and don't know why this stuff is important. Why is it important for you to learn square dancing? By the way, I did this topic.
00:29:40
Speaker
I don't know how many episodes ago where I talked about square dancing. It was the reason why we had to learn square dancing is because of Henry Ford. Henry Ford was getting pissed off. daniel yeah Yes, because jazz was taking over the world, taking over the country.
00:29:56
Speaker
And he didn't like all those blacks and Jews, his words, having so much influence. And so he introduced it was his Henry Ford push to introduce square dancing.
00:30:07
Speaker
So a little bit of that square dancing is racist. Not a little bit. The basis behind it is racist. Right. But all this stuff is building social, emotional, and practical abilities through activities requiring teamwork, empathy, and communication, just like group science projects or square dancing. So, yes, you had to learn about tadpoles and quicksands and a abuse and a bemin they may be the Bermuda Triangle, yeah right?
00:30:36
Speaker
And you're like, what this is useless information. But what you had to do is you had to do a project, either solo or a group project, which means that you had to go research, you had to go learn about something completely different, and then you had to present it. I was talking to a person today that told me that they had a speech class that was an elective in high school.
00:30:58
Speaker
I took speech in college. That's the reason why, ladies and gentlemen, when I'm on this show, though I will mispronounce a word lot of times, you're not going hear me say a lot of ah and ums.
00:31:11
Speaker
You'll hear me. so you Right is my favorite thing. but Mine too. Right. Right. Right. and Yeah. But right, it to me, it it's a signal to the person I'm talking to that I'm actively listening. Right.
00:31:27
Speaker
Like yeah if you say something, right, like i'm I'm letting you know I'm listening actively to what you're saying. Yeah. So like all of this stuff is built to teach you How to become an adult.
00:31:43
Speaker
Why the Bermuda Triangle and unsolved mysteries like Amelia Earhart? Because you're exploring unsolved mysteries teaches the importance of questioning sources, evaluating evidence and distinguishing between myth and reality.
00:31:59
Speaker
Core skills of critical thinking. Now, once again, as I give you this argument. And we look out into the landscape right now. Do you see why it's important that you need to learn about the Bermuda Triangle and Amelia Earhart?
00:32:15
Speaker
Because a lot of people out here are not questioning sources. They are not evaluating evidence and they are not distinguishing between what is real and what is fake. Yeah, I mean, I'll be honest.
00:32:30
Speaker
Like my reaction to it, first of all, was comedic, right? But like it very much like that kind of anti-vaxxer ideology of like, why do we even need take a vaccine for polio? Nobody even has polio.
00:32:47
Speaker
because of the vaccine genius. like So it's that same kind do same kind of thing of like, why do we have to learn this? I i think critically just fine.
00:32:57
Speaker
Yeah, because you learned this. but Because I spent so much of my young life trying to honestly, using the Encyclopedia Britannica, trying to figure out if I could figure out where the hell Amelia Earhart was.
00:33:15
Speaker
At the end of the day, at the end of the day, I am pretty sure that she did not make it on that flight. She didn't make it. Okay. Because all these conspiracy theories about her starting a new light, I don't believe it.
00:33:30
Speaker
Okay. Because she was doing it for the... I mean, you don't become the first female to do a transatlantic flight, dot, dot. Well, you know, and that fame and notoriety for her to just to disappear and ah into obscurity, like, that doesn't make sense. Like, no. she So I've solved it.
00:33:49
Speaker
Okay. Okay, Ms. Matlock.
00:33:57
Speaker
But it's because why I had those critical thinking and problem solving skills. e Yeah. I mean, and and I remember so much. You won't have the calculator with you in the future. And they're right. We have the calculators on our phone.
00:34:13
Speaker
But yeah what teachers were trying to do by taking away the calculators was to teach us to learn how to problem solve. And then through problem solving, foster confidence to be able to tackle problems in the future mentally.
00:34:31
Speaker
Yeah. Right. So people may think like, well, how do I don't understand the connection? Real simple. You know, this algebraic equation is very difficult.
00:34:43
Speaker
You can't seem to figure it out. You got to show your work. That's another reason why I hated teachers who were saying they had to show your work. But you had to show your work because you had to go. You had to prove that you knew the processes of solving this problem.
00:34:58
Speaker
Yeah. Now, how does that equate to real life? You got this project at work and one department is on the ball and the other department is not on the ball.
00:35:10
Speaker
This is a problem. yeah How do you solve it? You go back to your problem solving skills that you learned when you couldn't solve that algebraic equation through calculus, ah through a calculator. Like it's not a straight line, but it's teaching you something through in placing you in environments that you are uncomfortable with that you have to make your way through.
00:35:39
Speaker
Yeah, just wax on, wax off. Right. da that You know what? I was trying to find an analogy, and you got it. For those people who don't understand what my sister had just said, in the original Karate Kid with Ralph Macchio, everybody loved watching the Karate Kid TV series. Watched first episode.
00:35:55
Speaker
Mr. Miyagi had him painting the fence and waxing cars. And yeah Ralph Macchio or Danielson was like, how is this going to teach me how to... To defend myself. And then he was out there in in the karate tournament and he was like, paint the fence.
00:36:09
Speaker
And they was blocking maneuvers. He was like, wax on, wax off. It was blocking maneuvers. So though you may not see how learning this particular thing will help you in the future. Trust me, it's there.
00:36:22
Speaker
The square dancing, group projects, that's all about. One, improving your social skills, which certain generations behind us are severely lacking.
00:36:33
Speaker
Cooperation, listening, all this stuff and respect for others. Yeah. Right. All this stuff is what it's teaching you. And it's also teaching that there are learning diverse topics. Learning diverse topics isn't about mastering each one for practical use, but about learning how to learn.
00:36:57
Speaker
Yeah. Right. Everybody learns difference. There's visual learners, there's auditory learners, and there's conceptual learning. That understanding that principles and systems equip students to transfer skills between different subjects and solve real world problems later.
00:37:14
Speaker
Yeah. Open ended, varied education encourages questioning norms and perspectives. And that's the bedrock of critical thinking.
00:37:26
Speaker
So all this stuff leads to a better adult. Yeah. Hopefully. And because they because you can tell, you can tell, i don't blame older people for being confused about the information that they're receiving because technology moved so fast, like within our parents, but so fast in the boomer's generation.
00:37:51
Speaker
So fast. Yeah. I mean, in a boomer's generation, they went from listening to the radio ah i think for primetime entertainment.
00:38:02
Speaker
Okay. Yes, maybe. But the beginning of television, literally the beginning of television, to the point where there are now videos that you can create AI that looks so realistic that you that you're like, wait minute, this is real.
00:38:16
Speaker
Yeah. That happened in their lifetime. So I can understand how they would get confused. Our generation. Civil rights. Gen X and millennials. I don't know why we get fooled by this trickeration. It's a bunch of kids.
00:38:29
Speaker
It's not they're not kids anymore. There's a bunch of adults. And that generation just wasn't paying attention in school. No, they wasn't. Yeah. I mean, I don't know why we talk about Gen X, but like millennials.
00:38:41
Speaker
Well, because I'm a I'm a. as what do they call me? Zillennial? Yeah. yeah Yeah. Like, We were in a very unique position in that we were that transition generation from analog to digital. Like we were, I remember going to the library and looking up things in the card catalog to now I just Google it or I just ask chat, you know?
00:39:11
Speaker
So yeah, that gives us a very unique perspective. I understand. Education obviously needs to be holistic. You got me riled I know. but at the same time, the videos were funny.
00:39:28
Speaker
the video No, the videos are funny. Here's the problem. so was Because it was the intensity at which the teacher like delivered this cumulonimbus clouds.
00:39:42
Speaker
This is going to be important. Well, you have to make it if you don't, as and as as somebody who was going to be an educator, who actually only classroom experience I have is student teaching.
00:39:54
Speaker
um But you have to make it seem like Even if the teacher doesn't believe it's important, you have to make it seem important and interesting in order to grab these young people's attention.
00:40:09
Speaker
And I don't even know what it's like now. It's probably extremely harder than it was for me 25 years ago when I was yeah doing student teaching because the attention span of a person right now is just so short.
00:40:24
Speaker
yeah And yes, it is funny. But the problem I saw with the videos is that they were making light of it. And it was funny. I know there are people out there who are influencing education policy that believe these things to be true. Like they're all useless.
00:40:42
Speaker
And they always talk reading, writing, arithmetic. And it's like, yeah, if you just want to create robots that don't think... which is what they want to Yeah, okay. They're pretty... These are not dumb people.
00:40:56
Speaker
They're not educators, but these are not dumb people, and they know exactly what they're doing. But you have to... even if Even if you want control now, eventually you're going to die off, right? Yeah. So if you don't if people don't have these skills, there'll be no future leaders.
00:41:16
Speaker
They don't care. They won't here. They don't care. They won't be here. What do they care? They care about amassing enough wealth so that their descendants will be fine. yeah Yeah. and now And other than that, the future, if these people cared about the future of the country, they wouldn't do 90% of the things that they do.
00:41:38
Speaker
Especially environmentally. here Yes. All right The videos are funny, but this is what I'm going to say. Adults who see who receive diverse education exposure adapt more easily to new tasks and unfamiliar topics in personal and professional life.
00:41:57
Speaker
yeah They approach problems with multiple strategies, not just memorize rules. They demonstrate higher empathy, social awareness, and creativity.
00:42:08
Speaker
having a wide ranging education in childhood, regardless of whether specific content seems useless at the time, is essential for nourishing versatile, thoughtful, and capable adults.
00:42:20
Speaker
This process of encountering, questioning, and learning from different subjects is what truly prepares people for lifelong learning and critical engagement with the world.
00:42:32
Speaker
So this stuff is important. And what we are losing is high empathy, social awareness, and creativity.
00:42:43
Speaker
And you know where that is? Where does that seem prevalent where those things, where people demonstrate higher empathy, social awareness, and creativity? What political party does that seem like the majority of people that emphasize those things come from?
00:43:05
Speaker
Yeah, i mean, not the Republican Party. Yeah, no, it's not the Republican Party. And who overwhelmingly votes for Democrats? Aren't those those college graduates? Yeah, that's what that's why all of these Ivy League graduates in in in Republican spaces are railing against higher education because they know what what happens when you learn.
00:43:33
Speaker
Yes. Not only do you gain those critical thinking skills, but. you It's just what you said. You develop empathy.
00:43:44
Speaker
You develop social awareness. This is a why they don't want history taught in schools. Because I'm sorry, I don't know anybody when I was in school that heard about, you know, when they had that one chapter on enslavement, go, man, it really makes me depressed to be white.
00:44:05
Speaker
No, these kids look at it and they say, that was horrible. i will never be like that. e Right? and We learned that in Lynchburg, Virginia. We was learning yeah about enslavement in Lynchburg, Virginia, y'all. And and I was in the class with nothing but white students.
00:44:23
Speaker
And I'm telling you, when nobody feeling sorry for themselves, it was like, man, this that's ridiculous. That's literally what they were saying. it it helped them to see the world as not just what's within their own ecosystem, right? Like other people exist that have different experiences that, and it teaches you to be more aware of that and and to not center to yourself in everything.
00:44:56
Speaker
So for all my parents out there, when your kid comes home And they are learning about tadpoles or some something that you're just like, how is this helping you for the real world?
00:45:08
Speaker
Go back and rewatch this segment specifically. And I'm explaining to you how that particular project that's happening now in their fourth grade cra class is going to help them when they're 35-year-old female or male or them or they.
00:45:27
Speaker
It's going to help them. and you want your child to be the best at adult that they can be. So instead of poo-pooing it and getting angry and going to the school board and saying, why are my kids learning this?
00:45:41
Speaker
Join in the project with them. Help them get excited. You might create the next super scientist that's going to cure cancer. Yeah.
00:45:52
Speaker
Also, sex education doesn't make kids have sex. No. Sex education, actually. TV does. TV and movies. No, just natural. that's just Also, it's just a natural part of just natural thing.
00:46:05
Speaker
No, just natural. Ain't nothing makes Please stop shaming your children. Yeah, nothing makes kids want to have sex. Life makes kids want to have sex. so Yeah.
00:46:17
Speaker
ah The more they know about it, the smarter they'll be. Mm hmm. That's all. All right, ladies and gentlemen, that's enough of me lecturing you of why you should stay out of the education system unless you you are an educator.
00:46:29
Speaker
But I am going to lecture you about why you need to take your shoes off before you

Cleanliness at Home: The No-Shoe Policy

00:46:36
Speaker
walk around in the house. And we're going into that next.
00:46:47
Speaker
All right, Jay, I found this interesting article in the Washington Post. It's written by Lindsey Bever and is what can happen if you let people wear their germy shoes in your house.
00:46:59
Speaker
Oh, boy. So you always kind of look at me weird every time I come to your house and I take off my shoes. Because, look, as soon as you walk in the front door, there's a whole little shoe stand right there.
00:47:13
Speaker
I got the same one. Yep. But you don't you don't tell people to take off their shoes. don't make them. I take my shoes off. And typically people follow suit.
00:47:24
Speaker
Yep. But i don't, like, mandate it. You will have to read this. So why am I bringing this up? Wearing shoes indoors increases the w risk of tracking germs, bacteria, and potential harmful substances in your living space, contributing to health issues, cleanliness concerns, and exposures to allergens and toxins.
00:47:48
Speaker
So I have friends that have kids that are just allergic to everything. And I say to them, hey, stop wearing your shoes all through the house. And they're is that going to do? I'm like, yo, Pollen and everything is on your shoes. I mean, you got to bring them in the house, but they can at least put them where they're just at the front door.
00:48:05
Speaker
I was like, also, you are stepping in everything outside. and you Literally everything. Everything. And you just going bring it in the house? And track it all across your carpets and your rugs?
00:48:16
Speaker
Right. I have slippers. I got two pairs of slippers. i saw I saw you just bought bought a new pair. Look, I bought that pair because it's clear that either you or our brother bought the same pair. I'm going to assume it was our brother.
00:48:33
Speaker
yeah And our brother is serious about comfort. And let me tell you, I put them back... I got them on right now. Now I think about it, they on right now. I forgot I had them on. They that comfortable. I but forgot I had something on my feet.
00:48:46
Speaker
But I only wear them inside the house. got slippers now that I'll wear outside of the house just to take the trash out or go downstairs to the lobby.
00:48:57
Speaker
But now they don't go past my kitchen because I walk in the front door, my kitchen is right there. They don't go past my kitchen. Matter of fact, they really don't go past that front entranceway. And then I put on my slippers. It's like Mr. Rogers over here. I'm not tracking no dirt and ground and nastiness.
00:49:14
Speaker
My indoor slippers do not go outdoors. Can't do it. And I have a pair of Crocs that's right in front of my little shoe stand.
00:49:24
Speaker
I jump into the Crocs, take the dogs out or go get the mail or take out the trash, come back in jump out the Crocs, put the slippers back on. And the slippers don't... but The slippers don't go outside.
00:49:37
Speaker
i This is actually, don't know if you've seen it in the Amazon card. This is actually my third pair of these same exact slippers. One time i actually accidentally wore them outside. And that was it. i And I was just like, that's it.
00:49:52
Speaker
And then another time, I think one of the dogs had an accident in the house. I stepped in something. I was like, no. Yep, that's it. They're in the garbage. no They're like $13. I'm going to go buy a new pair.
00:50:04
Speaker
Because these are these are no longer house approved. Right. right Yeah, it doesn't matter how much Clorox I rub on the bottom of them, I'll never feel like. I'll never feel clean.
00:50:17
Speaker
Nope. They're clean again. yeah So shoes worn outdoors pick up dirt, bacteria, pathogens from various sources, which can be transferred to your home floors. These types of germs commonly found on the shoe soles can potentially lead to illness or allergic reactions, especially in individuals with weakened immune systems.
00:50:33
Speaker
In addition to the germs, shoes was can carry pollen, dust, allergens, And asthma for those sensitive to indoor air quality. Some studies also highlight that substances like it lead dust, pesticides, or dangerous chemicals can be trapped in the shoes' treads and then brought into the home, poisoning long posing long-term health risks.
00:50:56
Speaker
Yo. Mm-hmm. Basically, everything that's outside, you are bringing inside. We talk about it all the time. This reason why we shower before we go to bed.
00:51:07
Speaker
We don't bring outside into our everyday presence where you have to, but like when you go to sleep, you ain't got to sleep when you're outside. That's camping. Don't get in your bed with outdoor clothes on.
00:51:21
Speaker
that's but that's That's a huge thing for me. I do not get in my bed with clothes that have been in the elements. Yeah. I don't even like change my clothes when I get home because I I've been outside.
00:51:36
Speaker
i don't even like I have I have a shirt and I'm sad because it's about to be a hole in the elbow. And it's eventually I'm going to to get rid of the shirt. You've seen it because I brought it to your house when I stayed there. It's my sleep shirt.
00:51:48
Speaker
It's it like a T-shirt, long sleeve T-shirt ah hoodie with Superman emblem. And I had two of them, but I was like, I gave one to the to the you know to the needy, to the less fortunate. I wish I had it back, because they even make this anymore.
00:52:01
Speaker
And it's my sleep shirt. yeah It is on my bed right now. Because when I get up in the morning, I take it off. Put it back in the bed. Now, everybody's like, Bruce, you sweat during the night.
00:52:11
Speaker
But I sweat on my sheets and it gets washed. Okay. It gets washed. Nothing else from outside comes in my bed. Matter of fact, when I take my shower, I don't even put the shirt on to go get a drink out of the kitchen.
00:52:30
Speaker
Mm-mm. The shirt is in the room. When I take my shower, I don't even want to walk around throughout the house before I get in the bed. It's shower, bedroom, bed. That's it.
00:52:43
Speaker
Yes. Yeah. Yeah. No, I feel you on that. i and ah So I'll spend, like, say I'm in the house all day, right? And you know i got my slippers on. You got them on. Because I have a sensory thing. I don't like being barefoot.
00:52:56
Speaker
I used to like it when I was a child. I don't like it now. Yeah, you really did like when you was a kid. I loved being barefoot. Country roads. And now I can't stand feeling things on the bottom of my feet.
00:53:07
Speaker
But I wear socks, you know, indoors. I wear socks. Them same socks that I've been wearing all day, they've been in my slippers. Haven't even been on the floor.
00:53:17
Speaker
Those are not the socks I'm getting in the bed with. Oh, no no, no, no, no. It's special socks. The socks are on my bed right now. You got new socks. Yeah. New socks. I can't... No.
00:53:28
Speaker
I've been wearing them socks all day. They've been in my slippers all day. They've been in the slippers. I'm not putting those in my bed. Now, people out there are going to trip. Because we have people that listen to the show. It's like, you don't even need to shower all, ah all every day.
00:53:40
Speaker
Somebody said to me, I can't remember who it was. Somebody said to me that they read a study that, You can take two showers a day, but the one of the showers doesn't need to be with soap. You can just let the water hit you and it'll run all the dirt.
00:53:58
Speaker
And I said, sir, it was a gentleman. I do. Now I do remember who said it to me. It was an older gentleman. I said, sir, you can do it that if you want to. Yeah. And you might actually be true.
00:54:10
Speaker
I don't think it is, but okay. I don't think it is either. But I was like, even if you are true, so nothing hurt for me to use that soap. Well, no, I mean, eventually... What does it hurt? Well, he was like, eventually, you know, you degrade your skin and stuff like that. And when you get older... don't.
00:54:24
Speaker
I was like like... there's a reason why black don't crack. We've been using soap and washcloths for years. Okay. yeah I'm going stick with that. Then the, just get in the shower and rinse off. No. Yeah. You got to scrub.
00:54:39
Speaker
You got to scrub. Yeah. You got to scrub. That's how I was taught to bathe. That's how I still bathe. You got to scrub period. I'm sorry. Before we started washing our hands, people was dropping like flies. Mm-hmm.
00:54:54
Speaker
Typhoid Mary was out here having people laid up. Why? Because sis wasn't washing her hands. The whole... The pandemic started and we had to like literally tell people, wash your hands.
00:55:07
Speaker
That's crazy work to me. y'all wasn't washing your hands. They had to teach people how to wash it. People didn't know. People didn't know. People still don't do it. People just put the soap in their hand, do little bit of this and and they done.
00:55:19
Speaker
I'm like, no, you know, you got to put you got to get the soap. You got to lather your hands and yeah palm of your hand. You dig your fingernails in and you kind of soap get that soap. Yeah, your fingernails. That's the reason why your fingernails are dirty.
00:55:33
Speaker

00:57:10
Speaker
People are hands nasty. Just the fact that you're in the bathroom. touching surfaces in the bathroom, you got something on your hands. And don't get me started. your hands.
00:57:22
Speaker
Don't get me started on having your toothbrush out. this why black people fist bump. This is why. Y'all want y'all want to know why? Because, listen, this is why we fist bump.
00:57:33
Speaker
It's not because we're cool. Yeah, we are cool, but we fist bump because don't nobody want to shake your hand because we've been in the bathroom and we see you just doing a little quick rinse if you do that and walking out.
00:57:46
Speaker
And I say something, I'm like, you not going wash your hands? Did you forget?
00:57:52
Speaker
are you just going to touch that door and touch all the everything in the building?
00:58:00
Speaker
Touch the elevator buttons. gary You just touching everything and you ain't put not nary a drop of soap on them digits.
00:58:11
Speaker
So the the the point we were getting back to the shoes. Yes. Experts Experts, and once again, this from the Washington Post, experts genuinely recommend and implementing ah implementing a no-shoe policy indoors to minimize all the risk of you bringing in the outdoor stuff, especially in homes with children.
00:58:34
Speaker
Because remember, you got little children. They crawl on the floor. They put their hands in their mouth all the time. Yes. Go get them kids, Typhoid fever. Okay?
00:58:45
Speaker
Also... Why don't we let no babies crawl around on the floor in public places? Oh, in public places. Okay, i thought you was about to say in the house. But public places, I don't get it either.
00:58:56
Speaker
I mean, look, there'll be a baby on the floor in a restaurant. And I'm like, do you know what's on this floor? Ugh. ah I and this whole I wouldn't sit on this floor and I'm grown.
00:59:09
Speaker
Right. And this whole idea, we're trying to build up their immune system. Nah. trying build? Thor? Just going to school will build up their immune system. Yes. that They'll be fine. They'll get sick. Don't worry about it. They're going to get sick. But hey, you don't have to help it.
00:59:26
Speaker
Help it alone. You don't need that. The world will do that. Right. So to everybody that comes to visit me in my house, when you see me take my shoes off when I enter the house, that's the sign for you to take your shoes off. And I love it when people walk in and like, should I take my shoes off? I was like, well, you see what the standard is in the house.
00:59:49
Speaker
Yeah. You see that all my shoes are right here by the door. i'm going I'm going to judge you for not taking your shoes off more than if you got some holes in your socks.
01:00:00
Speaker
Yeah, I don't care about that. don't care about that. My socks got holes in them. I have two dogs who love to chew my socks. All my socks have holes in them. I ain't buying no new socks. Why? They just going to chew them up again. Six pack of hangings. They're expensive for things like six bucks. No.
01:00:15
Speaker
I went and bought like a, because you know, I live in a hood, so you can get you a 20 pack of socks for $10. And so so accurate The dogs ate them. Yeah. They were fine. Their socks were fine.
01:00:26
Speaker
The dogs ate them. So I'm just like, I just got holes in my socks. It is what it is. Okay, that's pretty gross. But, Jay, but basically, ladies and gentlemen, don't let people walk around with shoes on in your house. And if they are insisting upon wearing the shoes, they can get the hell out.
01:00:42
Speaker
You can get the hell out. I got slippers for you. Don't worry. If you have to have things on your feet. Yeah. If you have to have things on your feet, don't worry.
01:00:52
Speaker
I think it washed. Oh, okay. And I hope people got socks on. I ain't got no socks on in my slippers right now. Oh. But these are my slippers.
01:01:03
Speaker
Yeah, but it's just collecting your foot sweat. It is. Because I'm sweating right now. have socks on ah Typically I would, but um not right now. I didn't feel like being restricted with socks. Anyway, Jay, what do you want to tell these people out here?
