Meet Jay Andrea Conda and Sibling Happy Hour
00:00:35
Speaker
On today's episode, it's the Sibling Happy Arrow. I'm here with my sis, Jay Andrea, Conda. What we're gonna be doing is giving you guys a sneak peek into our Patreon page for our show After Hours Uncensored. For all our parents out there that's got the children in the background, parental discretion is advised. That's enough of the intro. Let's get to the show.
Travel Delays and Recording Changes
00:01:04
Speaker
Now, in my sister's infinite wisdom, and I told her that I was going to do this before I started recording this episode. In my sister's infinite wisdom, she decided to drive up from Atlanta, Georgia to Washington, D.C.
00:01:22
Speaker
on the day that we typically record. She left later, which means that she's going to get here later, and she was ill prepared for the fact that this drive was going to take more out of her than she realized. So what does that mean? It means we're not filming a sibling happy hours episode. So
00:01:42
Speaker
I had already planned to do this to give another sneak peek to our Patreon page.
Exploring Patreon Content and Parental Advisory
00:01:46
Speaker
Just to remind everybody, we have a Patreon page, patreon.com backslash unsolicited perspectives in which we do two shows, two shows a week, my talking straight ish and our sibling happy hour after hours uncensored.
00:02:04
Speaker
It is uncensored. It is raw. It is real. It is stuff that we do not talk about on the main show. We would not talk about on the main show. We should not talk about on the main show. So like I said, parental discretion is advised for this upcoming episode.

00:02:44
Speaker

I'm excited to see my sister, but also would have liked it better if she had planned better. But, you know, siblings, what are you going to do? You love them. My younger brother makes me fight his battles. My sister's, my younger sister has me.

00:03:50
Speaker
And also, we talk about some real stuff on there, or at least I do. There's way more of my personality that I let off and my talk is straight-ish in the after hours uncensored. For me and my sister both, it is definitely a watch. And you can always try it out for a month. You don't like it, cancel it. That's as easy as that. But that's enough of me talking and going on and on and on about the show. You guys go ahead and listen and watch it right now.
00:04:42
Speaker
But yeah, anyway, like I said, when I was listening to that show, I was definitely angry. But I was listening to it, and I was like, yo, this is actually really good. And then I was thinking to myself, maybe I need to start listening to my shows, because people keep telling me that the shows are good. Yeah.
Bruce's Insecurity and Feedback on Voice
00:05:01
Speaker
But I don't ever listen to them. It's on to the next one. I hate hearing myself back. Like, I hate it. Yeah. Yeah, I don't like it either. I feel like I got a frog in my voice.
00:05:13
Speaker
and my name is Bruce Anthony, and I'm here. And I was like, that's... I didn't know I sound like Sling Blade. You don't sound like that. In my mind, I sound like Sling Blade. No, you don't. But anyway, what you want to talk about? So, I just thought they're going to shade room. Oh, Lord, here we go. And somebody posted on, I'm going to still call it Twitter. That's what it is. Yeah. Adulting in three words and these comments
00:05:42
Speaker
Uh, fuck the shit. Right. I'm not okay. Shit is ghetto. Adulting is bullshit. Do not recommend paycheck to paycheck. Okay. Uh, find somebody else.
00:06:08
Speaker
this person put a motherfucking tide. Somebody said payment due date. And I'm like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then you pay it and the bill, another bill comes like the next day. Yeah. That really pissed me off. And I'm like, I just paid the shit. Can y'all give me the 30 days?
00:06:36
Speaker
No, they want to make sure that it was like, look, you just paid it. But you do know in 30 more days, you got to pay this one right here, right? Right. You still got to keep on paying it. I know that. Give me the email that my payment is due the day before. Give me some time. Just give me some fucking time to enjoy. My ice tea spray. When was the last time you cleaned your ice maker? I don't know how to clean it.
00:07:07
Speaker
OK, you should you should you take it apart. Yeah, I don't know how to take that damn thing apart. Which you got like the tray with the mixed automatic ice. Yeah, it makes automatic ice. Yeah, you can pull the thing. Yeah, no, I did that one time and then it wouldn't shut back and I had to call maintenance. You know, I'm not mechanic mechanic. Also, when's the last time you changed the water filter in your fridge? There is no water filter in our fridge. It just uses the water from the sink and the pipes.
00:07:38
Speaker
No, there's a filter. Nope. I'm gonna see you on Sunday. If I find it, can I punch you in the face? All right, let's- Yeah, this ice tastes bad. I'm pulling this ice out. Yeah. I don't know how to put this ice, but I'm just pulling it out. My phone won't do that. Another person put, roll another one. And I felt that. Keep going, I'll be back. Okay. I got to get rid of this ice. Thanks. Somebody said, send help please. A broke joke.
00:08:07
Speaker
Crying, screaming, laughing. And that I feel 100%. But mostly it's just basically people talking about how ghetto adulting is. And it reminds me, because adulting is ghetto, but it also reminds me of that song that came out like a year ago. Ain't nothing going on but the rent. Got to have a JOB if you want to be with me. Call Earth is ghetto.
00:08:37
Speaker
And I'm like, yeah. This whole thing has thrown the whole thing away. Did you see that Trump came out with some shoes? There was a Fox News segment where one guy literally said, this is the reason why black voters are going over to Trump. He knows culture. What better because black people love tennis shoes than to get them on your side by coming out with your own tennis shoe? Yeah. That's really what he thinks.
00:09:06
Speaker
That's really what to tell you. And I can tell you right now, nobody's paying $400 for some shoes unless they have Jordan. Yeah.
00:09:15
Speaker
Now, if Trump made a collabo shoe with Michael Jordan, now, now. No, I don't think anybody would purchase that. That's not true. If it was fire, if they have Jordan on there and it's fire, people might actually buy it. But they're not buying them air Trumps. They're not buying them air Racisms.
00:09:36
Speaker
No. Nobody wants the Jim Crow one. Like, nobody is fucking interested in that. Are you fucking kidding?
00:09:48
Speaker
The Jim Crow ones, that's hilarious. Did you steal that from somebody else? Did you just come up with that on your own? That's fucking hilarious. The Jim Crow ones. That's hilarious. Nobody's fucking interested in that. Jim Crow ones. The district attorney in New York is like, hey, if he can't pay it, it's $300 million, whatever. We're going to start season things, season them businesses. He already can't do business in New York, so.
00:10:18
Speaker
Well, that's the reason why he's selling these four. The shoes are $3.99, and he came out with a new champagne and wine that's $99. Now I have to see these shoes. Hold on. Oh, you haven't seen them yet? No. They're fucking horrible.
00:10:33
Speaker
I can't wait till you see
Trump's Sneaker Line and Cultural Missteps
00:10:35
Speaker
them. They are horrible. When I saw them, I was like, these look like straight trash. But I bet you people are going by them. No, no, I know somebody who they're a gold LeMay. They got a T on them. Yeah. An American flag. But for some reason, it only has one, two, three, four, five stars on it. I don't know why. I don't know. Who you know that's going to actually rock them shoes?
00:11:03
Speaker
Oh, there's somebody out there. Oh, yeah. No, they're good. The thing that gets me is a $399 price point. Right. That's absurd. You know, the majority of his supporters.
00:11:17
Speaker
are not people with a hope? Well, that's not true because a friend of mine told me that her, she said, she told me, she was like, I don't know if I can, if she can be my best friend anymore because her policies and her political stuff is just so out there. I was like, okay, where she lived, Long Island. And I was like, yeah, Long Island is pretty segregated. And she was like, yeah, the whole community is
Work-from-Home Revolution Post-Pandemic
00:11:39
Speaker
all Trump supporters.
00:11:41
Speaker
I was like, well, how long has this been your friend since childhood? And I was like, well, you know, that's kind of tough. Like, how bad is it? She was like, I literally was on the phone with her last night and she was saying to me how she can't wait to move out of New York state so that she can have medical freedom. And I was like, what?
00:11:59
Speaker
Yeah, I was like, medical freedom. What does that mean? Because she didn't take the vaccine. I was like, OK, I don't think anybody is pushing vaccines anymore. I don't think people like I haven't taken a booster in a while. And I don't think I haven't even seen it being advertised a booster in a while. Now it's just like you get it.
00:12:20
Speaker
Good luck to you. Now, honestly, I don't know any jobs that are requiring you to have it. At this point, if you get COVID, they still expect it. I know my job still is like, that don't have nothing to do with you being able to type, right? So don't care. This is the crazy thing about the pandemic is that the great thing is people realize, the companies realize, motherfuckers can work from home.
00:12:50
Speaker
The backside of that is when you're sick, guess what? You can stay at home, but you can still work from home. So like people are working more now than they did going into the office. Yeah, yes. That's one of the perks of working from home from a business standpoint is the increase in productivity.
00:13:17
Speaker
Because you don't- Even they try to say there wasn't any increase. No, there's definitely an increase because you don't have, you don't have the whole like office culture where you gotta, you know, every time you go to the break room, somebody says something to you. Like, nice weather we're having. I don't want to talk to you, Bill. Okay, because you have coffee breath and it bothers me. And you stand way too close when you chat.
00:13:47
Speaker
Now, there is a difference. There's different type of breaths, right? Yeah. Coffee breath is one thing. It doesn't necessarily stink, but hot breath still seems to bother me. Coffee breath is offensive, especially those, honestly, sociopaths who drink black coffee.
00:14:09
Speaker
No sugar, no cream, nothing in that, just black coffee. I drank black coffee one time. It tastes like nothing. Yeah, I drank black coffee one time because I didn't want the sugars and the creamers. I just needed the caffeine. It was disgusting, but I got through it. It's disgusting. Yeah, it's disgusting. No, I'm not talking about the funk of coffee breath because it definitely has a distinct smell. I'm talking about people who just, their breath is just hot.
00:14:35
Speaker
doesn't necessarily stink. Their breath is just hot for some reason. Do you have a fever? Like what is going on? Like they're dehydrated. Yeah. But their breath doesn't stink, but it's hot. And it's like, get your hot ass breath out my face. And that'd be the main person that want to tell you a secret. And I'm like, there are a lot of H's in this secret.
00:15:02
Speaker
that you're trying to tell me. And my ear is sweating. The inside of my ear is sweating. Back in the day when I actually had a hair and the hot breath people would come up to your ears and start talking, I ain't need no shape up on that side because they melted all the hair on that particular side. No. I mean, my hair was curly before. I mean, my hair was straight before this conversation. And now it's curly. That's the humidity from your mouth.
00:15:30
Speaker
So what are the adventures that you got planned on for your trip up here? What are some things that, cause you know, we have to get together with our cousin. I don't know. I don't know anything. All I know is I'm coming up for a sweet 16. Who's sweet 16? My niece. Oh, okay. She said she's 16 already. I'll be flying by. I know.
00:15:55
Speaker
Yes, she will be 16. It literally is just like, oh, my stomach is in knots. Because I just remember her being a little baby, like that was yesterday. Yeah, that ain't even seeing a little baby no more. Oh, all these young people that are just growing up. And it just reminds me that on August, I'm not going to say the date, but in August, I will be 40. Yeah.
00:16:23
Speaker
but I actually have no problem with that. But as far as my plans coming up, yeah, I was just gonna play it by ear. I don't have any, if you call me up that day and say, hey, let's get drinks tonight, then I'll get drinks with you that night. That's the thing. Well, you know, it's only gonna be during the weekend, because during the week,
00:16:42
Speaker
My week is crazy. Yeah, I mean, I'm going to be working too. Yeah. And plus, I can't stay out alone because again, I got Roscoe and. Well, you'll be crashing at. Well, OK, are you crashing at my place on Sunday? Sure.
00:17:00
Speaker
Okay, so I need to fix up my place. Just give me a pillow and not close in a pillow case. No, last time you was here, I gave you multiple pillows because I have multiple pillows. You just can't get no pillows from my bed, but I got multiple pillows. I don't remember having a pillow.
00:17:18
Speaker
Yeah, no, no. The last time you was here, which was... Oh, you're right. It was a full, like it was sheet, a fitted sheet, flat sheet and everything. Yeah, I gave you everything. Yeah, I gave you everything. Yeah, wash, cloth and towel and everything.
00:17:36
Speaker
I was shocked. You're absolutely right. You are absolutely right. You went and you got all the things so that you can have the best. No, I have all the things. What happened was during the pandemic, I bought more of the things that I already have. So now I have extra. Yeah. Where beforehand, I did not have extra. Because ladies and gentlemen, let me just say this. This is a man who sleeps with 48 pillows on his bed.
00:18:05
Speaker
It's six. Okay. One, two, three, four, five. Yeah. Six. One. Yeah. Six. And apparently every single one of them is necessary. So necessary that the pillow I got was a pillowcase stuffed with t-shirts. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Because there's a pillow right here on my floor and I think I have at least one. On the floor. Yeah.
00:18:28
Speaker
We get floor pillows. No, it's a bare pillow. I'm gonna put a pillowcase over it. And I think I have at least one other pillow in the closet. Yeah, no. But first of all, don't knock my pillow game. Because one, I'm a big guy. And two, I like to be cuddled. So.
00:18:50
Speaker
I have my two main pillows and another pillow, the little pyramid that I actually put my head on. I got two, like throw pillows, comfy pillows. One of them pillows that you can punch that feel like a body, but they're not full body pillows. I got two on the side of me and I got another pillow that I put between my legs. That's good for your back. Am I the only person that sleeps, yes. Am I the only person that sleeps one pillow? Yeah, I don't know how you do that. You're a sociopath.
00:19:20
Speaker
No, I put my head on it, because I only got one head, and I put my head on it, and I go to sleep. Well, that's the crazy thing, because I don't know how that one pillow can fit that head. First of all, I have a normal size head. Normal if you are Andre the Giant. I have a very normal size head. Can you wear a fitted hat? Yes.
00:19:47
Speaker
What size? Shut up. I have a normal size head. You are the only person who's ever said I have a large head. You're the only one. Nobody has ever said that to me before. But yeah, one pillow is called, lay down, go to sleep. You don't know all those pillows all around you because you're supposed to be asleep.
00:20:14
Speaker
Well, I toss and turn. I have a queen-size bed. One, I'm already a big guy. And I have a queen-size bed, and I toss and turn all over the place. You know a place I had a difficult time sleeping?
00:20:25
Speaker
until that fan came? My full-size guest bed. I laid down that bed. My feet was hitting the floor. I was like, God, everything's been locked up in a full-size bed. I turned to my left, fell out the bed, got back up, slayed back down, turned to my right, fell out the bed. I'm like, oh my goodness. I tried to stretch like, you know, I like to sleep like Jesus and put my arms all the way out. I couldn't do that because a monster might have crawled up from under the bed and got my arm because my arm was touching the floor.
00:20:54
Speaker
No, there's no monsters in my house. So that's, yeah. That's not the kid over there, but there's no monsters in my house. I think my queen-size bed is not, it's definitely not big enough, you know, when I have friends that spend the night. It's definitely not big enough for friends to spend the night, because I try to be real considerate. Yeah. So I try to stay on my side, but that just, women sleep relatively wild.
00:21:22
Speaker
and are all over the place. They're like, women are like kids. They sleep all over the place.
00:21:28
Speaker
Or the women that I deal with. Yeah, you deal with wild sleeping women. That's you. Wait a minute. The way that started is you deal with wild women, which is also true. That is also true. It's also true. Both things are true. Which would make them wild sleeping women. Yes. What wild woman sleeps peacefully? I don't think none of them.
00:21:52
Speaker
No, because they all probably got emotional problems and then all that manifests in their sleep. You know the wild women that do probably sleep peacefully? The ones that are always angry, yelling and screaming at everybody all day long. They're real tired. Yeah, they got it out. They got it all out. And now they're tired. And they take one pillow and they lay their head on it and they go to hell to sleep. And that's, you sleep, go to sleep. Oh, you toss and turn, sleep better.
00:22:22
Speaker
I wish I could sleep better. Actually, last night, I slept through the night. My alarm literally woke me up. And not me being like half wake, half asleep. I know the alarm hasn't gone off yet. I'm just going to stay in bed till the alarm goes off. This morning, it literally woke me up. And I was like, wow, that was pretty good. I didn't even have to wake up to go to pee. Yeah. Which lets me also know that I'm dehydrated because I've been dehydrated all day long.
00:22:51
Speaker
Well, you got to drink some water or a God rod or something. I drank at least a gallon of water every day and another three liters of sparkling, not sparkling water, carbonated water. Yeah. That's the reason why I always got to pee. Well, go back. Oh my God. I don't know why you shared that. But anyway, go.
00:23:23
Speaker
Hey there, podcast listeners. It's Bruce Anthony here and welcome to another episode of Unsolicited Perspectives. Today, I want to talk to you about something that's been on my mind lately, the importance of staying hydrated and taking care of ourselves. Whether it's prioritizing our health and wellness or gearing up for festival seasons or just gearing up for whatever season or time of year, there's one brand that's been my go-to for all things hydration.
00:23:47
Speaker
Liquid IV. Speaking of health and wellness, let's dive into how Liquid IV can fuel your well-being. Imagine starting your day off right, feeling refreshed and energized. Liquid IV hydration multiplier is the missing piece in your daily routine. With just one stick, you get five essential vitamins and two times faster hydration in the water alone. It's perfect for those early mornings, pre-workout boosts, moments when you just feel a rundown, or even after a late night or long flights.
00:24:17
Speaker
I absolutely love how convenient liquid ivy is. The packaging makes it easy to bring with me wherever I go. And let me tell you, it's become vital daily part of my routine. The flavors, let me tell you something, they're incredible. From refreshing sea berry and strawberry lemonade to classics like lemon lime and watermelon, there's a flavor for every preference. It's like a burst of hydration with a hit of deliciousness.
00:24:42

LiquidIV believes that access to clean and abundant water is the foundation of a healthier world. That's why they partner with leading organizations finding innovative solutions to help communities protect both their water and their futures.

00:26:25
Speaker
Shout out to Michael Tyler, a spokesman for the Biden campaign, who said, quote, Donald Trump showing up to hawk bootleg off whites is the closest he'll get to any Air Force Ones ever again for the rest of his life. Ooh. That is epic. That's a bar.
00:26:51
Speaker
That is an absolute bar. Yeah, no, he got on that one. Boy, that was in the chamber. It was locked and loaded. And the shot was fired. I don't hear this, Michael. Sometimes I gotta see what people look like. Well, I got a good feeling.
00:27:18
Speaker
that he is of a certain persuasion. Am I wrong or right?
00:27:23
Speaker
Let me see, let me see. Oh, Michael Tyler, black. Yeah, I knew it. I knew it. You don't come up with those type of bars referencing Air Force One and then mixing that with Air Force Ones and not be a... Yeah. I knew he was a hip hop. I knew he was hip hop. Well, I used to call him off whites and like, you know, nobody, you gotta know what you're doing.
00:27:50
Speaker
Well, because off whites aren't really an Air Force One thing. Off whites are Jordans. So he mixed in a lot of things. But he wanted to bring them up. But they do look like bootleg. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, they look like bootleg ones. Yeah. Jordan ones. They look like bootleg Jordan ones. If matter of fact, if I was Michael, I would be like, hey, look, this is copyright infringement.
00:28:16
Speaker
He might Cassell. He might sue, not sell. He might Cassell. Yeah. Sue Donald Trump for the sales. But it's, and they say this in the New York Times, it's easy to get distracted by the sheer absurdity of it all. A former president is hawking sneakers.
00:28:37
Speaker
Well, he's always, yes, but he's a salesman, so that doesn't surprise me. Remember when he was hawking stakes? Like, he's always selling something. Yeah, but that was before he was the President of the United States. Yeah, most people take the prestige and the dignity of being a President and carry on. Not everybody's gonna be Jimmy Carter, sorry.
00:29:06
Speaker
Well, I mean, you even have the C student, George W, who is now a beautiful portrait artist. Well, W also could have been a stand-up comedian, because that dude is funny. He is funny. And listen, I don't know anybody that loves Michelle Obama.
00:29:28
Speaker
more than George W. Because that man lights up when Michelle is within 50 feet of him. I gained, don't get me wrong, W really pissed me off during his presidency.
00:29:54
Speaker
But I gained a tremendous amount of respect for him during the transition period of how not only him, his wife, and their daughters were so gracious to the Obamas. I mean, stories go with the daughters showing, because they grew up in the house just like the daughters were going to. They were around the same ages when they got in there. And they were like, well, this is where we go when we used to skate down here. And they were just showing the girls everything. And they were so gracious.
00:30:22
Speaker
as opposed to what Bill Clinton did when W came in, where they took all the W's off of the keyboards throughout the office. You ain't know about that? Bill was foul, man. Bill was foul.
00:30:41
Speaker
George W's transition of power, it was smooth. And I think I got to be honest, I think I got a lot to do with Michelle. I think he just liked Michelle. And he was like, I don't want to embarrass myself.
00:30:58
Speaker
Let's show them around, make sure they... Actually, contrary to what I believe his politics to be, I'm not on his side of politics on the majority of things. I will say that I think he has always been a decent human being. He believes his policies are what's best for America and he genuinely wants
00:31:27
Speaker
to help people, he wants to follow in service to of people just like his daddy. Yeah, I guess. He just went about it differently. No, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Let's be honest here. If we was either one of us as president and he tried to assassinate our daddy, wouldn't we come up with every excuse in the world to try and get that country?
00:31:52
Speaker
But I mean, we might we might say some CIA black ops wouldn't nobody know about it. You can't do that nowadays. Everybody knows about everything. There is nothing there. You don't think our our government agencies are operating in complete secrecy, complete secrecy. Absolutely not in secrecy. Yes. Everything. Everything comes in light. Let there be a look. There was a house that just blew up down the road.
00:32:21
Speaker
right, that just blew up down the road. And normally, they would have just been like, oh, I guess it was a gas leak. But no, because since he was connected to some government agencies there, everybody is, everybody on Nextdoor app, everybody on Nextdoor app is like,
00:32:37
Speaker
No, I think it's this. It's a government conspiracy. Like you can't you can't operate in complete secrecy anymore because we're more knowledgeable of things that are going on in the world and we're more connected than we ever have been. So when the government does some foul shit, we're like, nah.
00:32:54
Speaker
That shit is foul. Like I see what you just did. Like it's harder.
Government Actions: Public Scrutiny and Awareness
00:32:57
Speaker
It was so much easier to be the CIA and assassinate Malcolm X and the FBI assassinated Martin Luther King. But you couldn't do that now.
00:33:09
Speaker
You couldn't do that now. You wouldn't be able to do it. So... Sorry, I see the... So it's Fox News host Raymond Arroyo because... White Latinos. Are you talking about the clip that I was talking about? Yeah, about how black people love sneakers. Boy.
00:33:33
Speaker
This is a big deal," he said, quote, certainly in the inner city. So when you have Trump roll out his sneaker line, they're like, wait a minute, this is cool. He's reaching them on a level that defies and is above politics. The culture always trumps politics, and Trump understands culture like no politician I've ever seen.
00:33:57
Speaker
Get the fuck out of here. Right. Because he don't, Trump don't understand culture. Not our culture. Never has. Never will. We have never set up to. Right. We have never, as the black community, we have never set up to him like Trump is cool. We thought he was funny.
00:34:22
Speaker
We'll laugh at you if you're funny. We'll laugh if you're funny. Yeah. But that don't mean that we're going to invite you to a cookout. And I've never heard anybody ever, ever say, yeah, I would like Trump to cook out. Well, yeah, I have. Yeah, yeah. That's not my cookouts, not the cookouts I would go to.
00:34:42
Speaker
Man, we're not saying the N word, huh? Well, Des, brothers, Desi grows that they're more about their money. I will say this into the listening audience. There are certain words that I forbid to be on any unsolicited podcast network show.
00:35:05
Speaker
That is one of them. Just not gonna do it. I say it a lot. I say it a lot. The F word is another one. The F word that's derogatory towards gay people will not be ever using it. We don't use slurs. Yes, yeah. We don't use slurs, period. All right, don't shame me because I use... I'm just saying. I'm trying to... I try not to use it in my personal vernacular.
00:35:35
Speaker
Oh, I do. Yeah, I know you do. I know you do. It just puts that icing on the cake. It's the cherry on top. One of my friends. Y'all are that. Right. I'm not talking about us. Right. Yeah. I'm talking about friends. Okay, go ahead. One of my friends, I told him, I was like, yo, you would be really, we would do a great show together. He's like, yeah, but can I say what you, what I want to say? No.
00:36:04
Speaker
Yes, as in your thoughts, because that's what I want, but you got to watch your language. Man, fuck that, I see a lot of people on YouTube and I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, check this out. There's a lot of people on YouTube say a lot of fucking things. If they're monetized, they're monetized because their subscriber list is so high that they get so many views that YouTube will kind of turn a blind eye, but they're still under certain community guidelines where the money that they would be making is cut.
00:36:34
Speaker
Yeah. All right. They could be potentially making more if they didn't while out, but because they have such a subscriber list, they can while out a little bit more than normal. Those other people that don't have a subscriber list have no chance of being monetized period. So I told him, I was like, Hey bro, man, if you want to make money, but I know a lot of podcasts to do that. Okay. Yes. Yes. And if it's the audio form, yes. But when it comes to video, no. Yeah.
00:37:03
Speaker
Well, fuck that shit, baby. You can't let me just be me. I was like, look, you have a talent. You are hilarious. You are a personality. I believe that you can make money off of this personality that you exhibit. But the personality has to fit in some form of a fucking box.
00:37:23
Speaker
If you can't conform even the slightest bit in order to go get the bag, I don't want to work with you. They used to say this all the time in old school Hollywood. It's got to play in Peoria. You have to be on a certain level relatable to a broad audience or else you're always going to end up with this niche audience.
00:37:51
Speaker
So yeah, I get that. That's why I haven't said it. Damn. You said it one time. I really want to say it. No, I think I said Negro. I think I said Negro. No, no, no. There was one episode where you did say it. Did I say the whole word? Yeah, you said it. I was like, damn, my bad. I was like, damn, I don't worry about it. This is one time. God damn it. It was when you was high. Now, are you high right now or are you sober? No, I'm sober. Okay. You know, I told you you could smoke when we're doing these.
00:38:21
Speaker
Yeah, but I mean, I also, I'm also in school, so I have to study. You got work to do, you got work to do. I can't just always get high. I don't have stuff to do. How high did you get with your visitors last weekend? The entire time. I know it, because they get high. Did they drive or fly down? They drove.
00:38:48
Speaker
Wow. They old asses drove. Cause they old. They're not that old. They're in their fifties. That's old. Look, let me tell you something. Yes. I be forgetting, I be forgetting how old I am because I don't consider myself, I am the exact same age as my two boys that have families, but I'm not the same because I could be a lot more youthful cause I ain't got kids
00:39:18
Speaker
weighing me down. Not like kids. Okay. Kids weighing me down is not the right thing. That's accurate. Okay. Having kids makes you less cool. And that's just the truth. Like I have, I've watched cool people have kids and become
00:39:36
Speaker
And that is just the product of having kids because you have to be a role model to them kids. You can't be your trifling self. No, it could be that. It also could just be, you're too tired to be trifling.
00:39:51
Speaker
Yeah. Because being trifling does take energy. Yes. It does. It does take energy. So there's this guy where I live, and I was talking to him one time, and he seemed so much older than me. Yeah. But he was not even 10 years older than me, right? And I was just like,
00:40:13
Speaker
I don't ever wanna hang with you. I was just looking at him, I was like, we will never hang out. You two old acting, I don't wanna go kick it with you. No, you probably don't wear loose boot jeans and a pullover NFL sweatshirt. Not loose boot jeans.
00:40:31
Speaker
Well, boot cut jeans, but really baggy boot cut jeans. But not baggy like how baggy is kind of cool now. Baggy is like baggy from the 90s. You got jeans that are too big for you because for some strange reason, old men lose 10 to 20 pounds every day. They lose it and gain it. They lose it and gain it.
00:40:59
Speaker
them jeans as tight as hell yesterday. Why are they falling off your ass today? I don't understand it. Well, I sneezed and lost 40 pounds. I think that's your prostate, man. I think you need to get that checked out. All right. That's enough of this episode. I'm pissed off because we recorded the after hours for this week.
00:41:29
Speaker
on Monday and I still haven't posted it yet because I forgot to do the post production on it. So I tried to rush and do it today, but then my computer locked up and it was taking too long. So now I'm going to do it tomorrow, not tomorrow, Saturday, because we were releasing the main episode and I don't like to release main episodes and after hours on the same day. It's too much. It's too much content. Yeah. So, but then they go get it back to back because I'm going to release what we recorded on Monday on Saturday and release this on Monday.
00:41:59
Speaker
So, I mean, y'all getting your money's worth. Yeah. And besides, I gave you a really angry, good show on Monday. I thought it was good. Yeah. It was angry. It was angry. With these internet trolls, they was really pissing me off. Yeah. But, you know, a lot of them were just bots from Russia. These weren't bots. These were actual people. I collected their profiles. I still trade them as bots.
00:42:28
Speaker
They're just trolls. The doctor that I interviewed, Dr. Adrian said there's a whole book written about trolls and it's like trolls be trolling or trolls have to troll or something like that. It's a compulsive thing. They have to do it. Yeah. Because it's like, hey, get a hobby. And they can't. They have to troll. Yeah, it's sad. It just means that these people are really unhappy with their own lives. So miserable.
00:42:57
Speaker
Yeah, I'm glad I'm not unhappy with my own life. I mean, I got my insecurities. Yeah. But I mean, like everybody. But I can't imagine approaching every day with such a negative attitude. I can't. I can't imagine that. I can't imagine just being just that miserable.
00:43:18
Speaker
I can't, I don't have the luxury because my main job is nothing but motivating people all day long. So if I'm in a fucked up mood, they're getting fucked up situations. So I always have to be up. That's the reason why I like to stay in the house. Cause I'm like, yo, sometimes they be like, Bruce, you are such an optimist. Like, yo, sometimes I'm faking the fuck out of this shit. Like seriously?
00:43:48
Speaker
You're getting on my fucking nerves right now. Yeah, to be honest. And I'm just smiling in your face, like, for real, for real. To be honest. But I need to help you grease these goals, and you can't do it yourself. That's the reason why you hired me. So we're going to do this, but just let me know, just let you know I'm agitated today. And sometimes they catch hell. But the way that they respond to them catching hell is the workouts get harder. And they're like, are you OK? Do I need to say something? And then that makes me laugh.
00:44:18
Speaker
Yeah. And then I'm not in a bad mood anymore. Yeah. Like, yeah, you want to talk about it? Because I'm about to pass out. What are you talking about? It's working. Are you going through something? That's what I say what you're talking about. That's what I tell her, like, what you're talking about. Are you all right? Because if I tell something to offend you, one of my clients always says, have I got something to offend you?
00:44:43
Speaker
The funniest day ever. The funniest day ever. I'll say this and then we'll be done. Okay. And it's a male client that I've had for a long time. And I always, I really enjoy hanging out with this client. I call it hanging out. I really enjoy working with this client lately because
00:45:01
Speaker
I asked him, he's always laughing and joking in our session and he has such a button up life. And I'm like, yo, do other people see the side of you? Because this side is like a dope side. The side that I know other people see kind of not dope, but this side that I see is really dope. He's like, no, you're the only one who gets this. I was like, you need to start loosening up a little bit. You're really fucking up tight. Yeah. And I always know I got him when he starts cackling.
00:45:28
Speaker
His ass starts laughing and he goes, okay, okay, okay, okay. That shit makes me die laughing. Yeah, I would die. I would die laughing. He'll be in the middle of a workout. I'll say something. I don't even know what's fucking funny. I just say shit sometimes. And he's like, that's fucking hilarious. I'm like, what'd I say? Because I don't even pay attention to what the fuck I'm saying. I'm just saying shit.
00:45:53
Speaker
And he'll still be in the middle of a workout. And he'll do something. And then start cackling. I'll say, hey, man, focus, man, because you got this heavy ass weight. But one time, one time, I was having him do these really tough exercises. And he was on the ground doing these exercises. And he was sweating. And he looked up to me. And he just said, why are you making me do this? And I died. I died laughing.
00:46:21
Speaker
He said, why are you making me do this?
Humor at Work: Light-hearted Client Interactions
00:46:23
Speaker
He's about to start crying and everything. I was like, is this even doing anything? I was like, what do you think? It is. It is. What is it working? I said, everything. I can feel it.
00:46:36
Speaker
If you can feel it, then why are you asking? But it was the way he looked at me and all, is earnest the right word? Not earnest. Earnest is sincerity and just like, why are you making me do this? That is hilarious. Yeah, sometimes I really enjoy my job.
00:46:57
Speaker
All right. Well, you want to tell the people out there, because it's hot. These lights is hot. Listen, so we ran over on the show, so I didn't get to say this. I meant to say that on the main show. But sending my condolences to the loved ones of HIV and AIDS activists, Padilla Broadbent. I don't know if you remember, but back in 1996, she appeared on Oprah Winfrey
00:47:25
Speaker
Oprah Winfrey. The Oprah Winfrey Show, when she was 11 years old, talking about her personal story of being born and living with HIV AIDS. She passed away at 39 years old, but she spent her life spreading hope and positivity through education around HIV and AIDS.
00:47:52
Speaker
Did she pass away from the virus? Yes. That was a cause? Yeah. She had been living with full-blown AIDS since birth. I didn't know she was living with full-blown AIDS since birth. Okay, because that's rare for people to get full-blown AIDS now.
00:48:09
Speaker
Well, I don't know if she had full-blown AIDS. Yeah, that don't make no sense. It don't make no sense she lived 39 years of full-blown AIDS. It's like her, somebody, I think her father posted, and he said, with great sadness, I must inform you that our beloved friend, mentor, daughter, Hadiya, passed away today after living with AIDS since birth. Did he meant to say HIV? You know?
00:48:38
Speaker
Uh, maybe. Because 39 years is a long time to live with AIDS. Because remember back in the day, once you got HIV, once it turned into AIDS, you was dead in a little bit. Now most people don't even get AIDS anymore. It's just HIV.
00:48:58
Speaker
So she was born. There's a difference, ladies and gentlemen, between HIV and AIDS. Yes. Everybody wants to lump it together, but there's a difference. That's why there are two different acronyms.
00:49:11
Speaker
Because people are like, you got AIDS? Remember when Donald Stearns said that about Magic Johnson? What's wrong with Magic Johnson? When he was being interviewed by Anderson Cooper. You don't remember that? Oh, it's my favorite scene. I think so. So she was born with undiagnosed HIV.
00:49:33
Speaker
she was adopted, and they later learned that she was HIV positive, and when she was five, she developed AIDS.
00:49:42
Speaker
Oh, damn, she lived 34 years with AIDS. Yo, I'm telling you, the medicine nowadays, medicine nowadays, they make AIDS basically, HIV basically disappear. There are drugs out there that people that are HIV positive but are dating, their partners can take who aren't HIV positive that prevents them from getting HIV. Now, I feel like that should be sold
00:50:09
Speaker
in the grocery store right next to Tylenol, because I would love to take that as part of my daily pill each day. You could just practice safe. I said I would love to take that pill daily each day. Yeah.
00:50:31
Speaker
That's what I said, okay? And if there was a birth control pill for men, go ahead and sign me up for that one, too. And put it right next to the Advil. I'm just saying. All right, on that note. Because mom is listening. Mom is listening. Sorry, mama. Put it right next to the Advil. Shut up.
00:50:58
Speaker
Hey, just like I said, thank you for fucking with us. And I'm going to say thank you for fucking with us too. I don't mean to steal her words, but I can't come up with anything different and I got to start the post-production for the show. So on that note, holla.
