Shannon Sharp’s Explosive Allegations, Bills, & Facial Expressions
0 Playsin 22 hours
AC meltdown, Shannon Sharp scandal, Reddit toxicity, facial expressions betray you—Bruce and J. Aundrea GET MESSY in this Sibling Happy Hour! Join us as we unpack an HVAC repair nightmare that sent Bruce's utility bills sky-high, then rewind to College Park Frat Row fables: slumlord mayors, finals-week evictions, and the dark side of frat culture.
In our signature spicy takes, we debate why Reddit may be the “least toxic” of all social media platforms—even as Truth Social and X spew venom—and settle the great socially liberal vs. fiscally conservative oxymoron once and for all. Plus, get a sneak peek at the psychology of facial expressions and what your micro-expressions really reveal about your mood and intentions.
Then it gets explosive: NFL legend Shannon Sharp faces a $50 million civil lawsuit, accused of rape, sexual assault, and battery. We break down the audio leaks, role-play text messages, and the age-gap power dynamics at the heart of this controversy. What’s the difference between kinks and coercion? Why did Sharp’s legal team publicly release those messages? And how do Tony Busby’s settlement strategies factor in? #shannonsharpe #redditstories #facialexpressions #socialmedia #unsolicitedperspectives
Laugh along as we riff on app-building stress, finals jitters, and the sibling dynamic that turns every topic into a rowdy debate.

00:00:51
Speaker
We're going to be dilly-dadding a little bit. Then we're going to be talking about Shannon Sharpe's allegations. And then we're going to talking about basically me and my facial expressions. But really, why do we make our facial expressions?
00:01:02
Speaker
But that's enough of the intro. Let's get to the show.
Personal Struggles and Pollen Problems
00:01:13
Speaker
What up, sis? What up, Bretta? I can't call it. I can't call it. ah we got We both got a lot going on today. Yes. A lot going on today. Yes.
00:01:23
Speaker
My AC is broken. Now, it hasn't been a big issue because it hasn't really gotten hot. Or it's just now starting to get warm.
00:01:35
Speaker
Okay. And so they said something about the compressor was ah blown. Oh, by the way, it's been blown for a little while. I didn't know my and edge edge my air conditioner was broke. ah This tastes pretty. I didn't know my air conditioner was broke.
00:01:48
Speaker
Yeah. And got my utility bill. And that's how i realized my air conditioner was broke. Mm. The compressor was just pumping. I mean, the utility bill was five times what it normally is. Oh, no. Yeah. So I'm not happy about that. yeah already paid it, so it is what it is. But they've been waiting for this part.
00:02:07
Speaker
And this part has taken like two weeks to get in. And then finally, there was this like, all right, we couldn't get the main part, but we got another part. And so we're going to fix it. I was like, OK. He told me, that the maintenance guy told me this Monday.
00:02:20
Speaker
He said, the part of being on Wednesday, we'll fix it on Thursday. I said, OK, cool. He sees me earlier today in the gym, and it's like 8 o'clock in the morning, 830 in the morning. And he says, hey, the part is in. We're going to go ahead and do it today.
00:02:32
Speaker
And I was like, oh, OK. Like, how? much as how intricate is this? And you know me, I'm not mechanically inclined. So he's just going off and telling me these things. And I don't even know why you asked the question. Well, what I really wanted to know was how long is this going to take?
00:02:49
Speaker
Because I thought it was just replacing the part. Why didn't you just ask that? Well, I did it eventually. Okay. After he started talking, was like, okay, I'm not following it. How how long is this going to take?
00:03:02
Speaker
He was like, oh, about six hours. I said, six hours? Why is it going take so long? And I was like, y'all ain't got six hours. You got six hours if you start right now, because I got things I got to do. I got stuff I got to record and things like that.
00:03:14
Speaker
He said, oh yeah okay, okay. So the maintenance people up here doing the work, they're going from here to the roof. I look in the them in the closet where my air conditioner is or whatever the unit is. I guess it's an HVAC whatever.
00:03:26
Speaker
I don't even yeah what it's called. this something It's The whole thing is gone. They gave me a whole new one. That's the reason why it's taking six hours. Oh, so they couldn't get the part to replace.
00:03:39
Speaker
Right. So they just replaced the whole unit. That was the part that they were getting, the alternate part. Yeah, so they just replaced the whole thing. But dig this here. So they just left 20 minutes.
00:03:50
Speaker
Because I told them, I was like, hey, man, when y'all wrapping up, because I can't have all this banging as I'm recording. They was like, oh, we're we're cleaning up now. i was like, so we good to go? it was like, no, something's still not right. I said, so y'all been here all day.
00:04:03
Speaker
All day. And my air conditioning still ain't working right. And I know it's getting hot outside because I'm waking up sweating. Even with all the fans. Yep. I'm waking up sweating. This problem need to be resolved immediately.
00:04:17
Speaker
Expeditiously. Right. It need to be solved. So they said, we're going come back tomorrow. Something with the Freon. I was like, talking about stuff I don't know nothing about. Tomorrow it'll be fixed. Yeah, it'll be fixed tomorrow. right.
00:04:30
Speaker
All right. It better. It better. Because as this temperature goes up. Yeah, because, um you know. Don't play. It's starting to get up there. It's starting to get up there. Yeah. You know, D.C. I can't breathe outside.
00:04:42
Speaker
The pollen. Yeah. It's so bad I can taste it. Yeah, it's the worst. You literally
University Life and Social Media Toxicity
00:04:47
Speaker
can taste it. It's in the air. It's on the air. It's floating on the air. And it don't taste good.
00:04:53
Speaker
No. Don't taste good. No. But you're extremely tired. Yes, verys very much so. It's finals time and it's crunch time. I got one presentation due tomorrow.
00:05:07
Speaker
Don't know what's going happen with that. So another thing, I'm building an app and it's not working. And so it's, it's, it's, I'm stressed out. Did you, did you try the thing I suggested? was the last time I talked to you? Sunday?
00:05:22
Speaker
ah Yeah. Sunday. Yeah. Did you try the things I'm talking about on Sunday? I forgot what those things are. young I don't remember. We'll talk about that off air. muer You got a lot going on. And you suggested, ladies and gentlemen, we are filming this on a Wednesday.
00:05:35
Speaker
All of this is easier for me because now we are not filming multiple hours of content on my Sunday fun day, which I just absolutely love. But my sister made this suggestion about two weeks before she should have.
00:05:47
Speaker
Yes, yes. i should have said, hey, once finals are over, yeah my Wednesdays will be open. But ah yeah, because they are not currently.
00:05:58
Speaker
Well, you know what? I think it's healthy to take an hour-long break to jibber-jabber with your brother. You know what? I think you're right. So so let's let's get to jibber-jabbering. Clear your mind and your soul and get to laughing. That's all.
00:06:15
Speaker
That's it.
00:06:18
Speaker
I don't know why I got to clear my soul. No, you got it. Well, because your soul is corrupted while y'all live working. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I was reading an article. It wasn't article.
00:06:29
Speaker
It was an article, but I found it on my favorite social media site, Reddit. yeah So there was this picture of this. It was a frat house okay on the University of Maryland. And I was trying to figure out where the hell it was because I thought I knew where all the frat houses were.
00:06:46
Speaker
But I didn't because I'm only thinking about frat row. And a lot of people that hasn't been to the University of Maryland don't even understand what I'm talking about. But there was a fraternity row that was shaped like a horseshoe.
00:06:57
Speaker
had, I don't know, 10 to 12 different fraternity houses. I mean, these are like big mansions. Yes. Yeah. All in this little courtyard. So I'm reading this article because everybody was like, what is this? I see it on campus. don't know what it is. And this is letting me know that these young kids don't understand what frat houses are.
00:07:15
Speaker
I guess it's not a thing anymore. And it's kind of like. No, I'm pretty sure there's still frat houses. Maybe they're not as prevalent as when we were going to school. That's where all the parties and stuff used to be. Well, these kids ain't doing what we used to do.
00:07:33
Speaker
Frat parties, the connotation, back you know the implication that came along with frat parties, maybe they've gone out of vogue because they could be quite dangerous.
00:07:47
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, they were very toxic. They were toxic, toxic, toxic places yeah for all involved. everybody. For everybody involved. So i' reading this article.
00:07:58
Speaker
And the article, of course, was a slumlord in Maryland, in the state of Maryland. And what he did was, is that he ran for mayor in College Park and lost. And one of the reasons why he lost when he ran for mayor is because it came out during, you know, investigation that he owed a lot of back taxes. Like he ain't paid, he was running in 2017, he ain't paid, he owed taxes in 2005.
00:08:23
Speaker
Right. So here it is. I think it was 2018, 19, 2020. okay These people are moving into one of these frat houses that he owns. And I guess I guess it was no longer considered a frat house anymore. Just a place where people could rent rooms.
00:08:41
Speaker
OK. And he took all these people's money, especially students, and he lost money. that The property because of the back taxes. And another company took it over.
00:08:53
Speaker
And another company was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, That old lease that y'all thought y'all had? No, we're going to do this. And y'all need to sign right here, right now. And people were like, well, no, we don't want agree to these new terms. And they was like, all right, we'll get the hell out.
00:09:08
Speaker
And this was right around finals. I'm reading the article. And this happened right around finals. yeah And i was just like, wow, that's crazy. Our old stomping grounds. Finals.
00:09:18
Speaker
And these people were like, we got evicted. I don't i't know. It's kind of hard to focus on studies. When you're homeless. When you're homeless. She's homeless. She's homeless. Yeah.
00:09:30
Speaker
I mean, legit. That's the song. That's the song. That's the song to sing. Right. So it was just like, yo, this is crazy. And of course, on Reddit. Reddit be having some crazy stuff, y'all.
00:09:44
Speaker
It'd also be having the news. um Old news, I guess. and But it it has the news on there. ah No, Reddit's actually pretty up to date if you follow the news subreddit or politics subreddit and all that's pretty up to date.
00:10:02
Speaker
yeah it's Yeah, it's not as toxic. It's the least toxic of all the social medias, in my opinion. That's pretty toxic. yeah I didn't say it wasn't toxic. I said yeah the least toxic.
00:10:13
Speaker
Yeah, probably. Yeah, because X is still the most. xes Yes. it was probably going to be whatever that whatever that magga platform is true social Yeah, it's probably gonna be Truth Social, but none of us would dare to have a account on Truth Social.
00:10:38
Speaker
When I say toxic, I mean the comments are toxic, right? Like on Truth Social, I already expect to be toxic, but it's I don't think the individual commentators on each post are are as venomous to the people that are posting because I don't believe...
00:10:54
Speaker
I think they're probably venomous about whatever the subject matter is that's being posted. Yes. But when I say toxic, what I mean by toxic is like people actually coming after the posters.
00:11:05
Speaker
Okay. Yeah. Yeah. So i now I don't think it's like that. don't think it's like that. No, no. It's probably and one big happy community on true social. Honestly, everybody's just being racist and sexist and the worst.
00:11:20
Speaker
That's what everybody is being on there. and Nobody is talking about being
Political Terminology and Family Dynamics
00:11:23
Speaker
fiscally conservative because that's what Republicans love to talk about. They love to talk about how they're fiscally conservative. Which is an oxymoron because you can't be fiscally conservative. No, an oxymoron is when I had friends that said that they were socially liberal and fiscally conservative. And I was like, you can't be both.
00:11:40
Speaker
That's not an oxymoron, though. um Oh, okay. what's What's the actual definition of oxymoron there? is It's two opposite things put together. Yes. Those are two opposite things put together.
00:11:53
Speaker
He said the person said that they were socially liberal and fiscally conservative. that Yeah, those are not two opposite things. that But they are the in not even a theory. In practice, they are polar opposites.
00:12:07
Speaker
Explain. Okay. If you are socially liberal, then that means that you believe in social programs. No, it believes they're talking about when they say socially liberal, they're talking about we're going to let you do whatever you want to do in your household. We don't care about your gender identity. We believe black lives black lives matter. That's what they mean by socially liberal.
00:12:30
Speaker
liberal. They're not saying that they believe in and in social programs and safety net. They actually are saying the opposite of that. So what they're actually saying is not quite an oxymoron. is it's It's hypocritical because you can't be against social programs but say that you support people.
00:12:50
Speaker
that So that I would say in that regard, is and as it might be something of an oxymoron. That's the point I'm trying to make. And because if you say that you're socially liberal and, and, and it's, in its definition, socially liberal means that you believe in social programs.
00:13:09
Speaker
I don't care what their interpretation of it is. I'm saying what the actual interpretation is. If you're socially liberal, that means you believe in social programs. Hmm.
00:13:22
Speaker
We're going to debate on this. Yeah, because this what we la show them social liberalism is a political philosophy and a variety of liberalism ah that endorses social justice, ah to your point, social services, ah hu a mixed economy, and the expansion of civil and political rights.
00:13:44
Speaker
Okay, so let's go with the programs and the mixed economy. If you take those two premises of being socially liberal, then you can't be fiscally conservative.
00:13:55
Speaker
You are correct, then. It is
00:14:03
Speaker
you i needed your I needed you to explain. yeah i needed you to explain. and And now that, yes, you are correct. It is oxymoronic. That's like some but somebody came to me one time and they said that I used the word that me and you were getting in a debate about, it was a word that I always use. might hop Not hyperbolic, which I love that word, by the way.
00:14:25
Speaker
You're like hypocritical. Oh, hypocritical is one of my favorite words of all time. yeah But it was a word that the hubris, that's what it was, hubris. And they were like, you didn't use it right. And I was like, yes, I did. Let's break out the definitions.
00:14:39
Speaker
And I did. I mean, look, I don't always wish say words well. You don't always say sentences well.
00:14:54
Speaker
But sometimes you know what you're talking about. you are You are correct when you talk to Veronica. irononic i i know when I'm intending to say when I say the things that I say. they Sometimes they just don't travel that well from my brain to my mouth. You know, I got a lisp and I got a big tongue and my lips are big and don't open my mouth wide enough, I guess, what I talk.
00:15:13
Speaker
Plus, I talk out the side of my mouth and my but mind is moving faster than my lips can move. It's a lot of things going over there. That was a long list that you just rattled off there. The reason why you don't talk good.
00:15:32
Speaker
that's tough tough but i do Quite a list. But I do know words and I know the definitions and I'm quite literal with the words that I use. Meaning?
00:15:44
Speaker
I use the literal definition of the words, not what okay now what people have morphed the word to mean in its current state of being.
00:15:56
Speaker
state of being Well, here's the thing. Language is not math. So the rules can change and often very much do change. So you are using a definition of a thing, but it might be a past definition that might, that definition might be deprecated and you might be using it in the wrong context now. So you do have to like, you do have to understand that I'm just telling you what the, day you can make whatever face you want to make.
00:16:32
Speaker
I'm just telling you the thing. Webster's tells me the definition. That's the definition. But it all it changes in Webster's too. well And that's the, do those are the definitions I follow. It's the Webster's definition. So I'd be checking the words. I'm like, did I use this right?
00:16:48
Speaker
Yeah, use right. Because people always want to argue with him with the words that I use. And I'm like, look. I don't just say words and I don't know what they mean. You know what? I think it's your, maybe it's just your voice or cadence where it sounds like you're using a word and it's wrong. and Even though it's right.
00:17:06
Speaker
Even though it's right. When I hear it, I'm like, don't sound right. You don't expect something that intelligent to come out of my mouth. That's what you basically said. No. You know how like my voice makes me sound like a jerk?
00:17:19
Speaker
Well, Yeah. Because you are. No, no. Like I say things and then people be like, I sound like a jerk, but I'm actually being genuine. like Yeah, genuinely a jerk.
00:17:33
Speaker
no I'm not trying to be a jerk at all. Like, it'll be like like how y'all used to say I apologize. I'll like, sorry. it First of all, the my apologies don't sound like that. your apologies are absolute. well i You know what?
00:17:45
Speaker
You just apologized recently on this episode. Like literally two seconds ago. No, it was longer than two seconds ago. Two minutes ago. Fine. Yeah, it was about four or five minutes ago. Whatever. But that's me being literal again. Yeah. But when we were younger, used to be like, Jay, you did this. And you would be like, sorry.
00:18:02
Speaker
Yeah. You was like, that's genuine. I was like, that feels... It was genuine, but the way my voice sounds when I say sorry, it sounds like I'm not being genuine.
00:18:13
Speaker
That's just my voice. so So something about your voice, when you say words, I'm like, so you so those don't sound right. You're saying... That my voice makes me... If your voice makes you come off as a jerk, my voice makes me come off as dumb, that's what you basically saying, because you're saying, well, that word don't sound right. So you're saying that my voice... It don't seem like something that's... That intelligence should come out of that voice. That's basically what you're saying.
00:18:44
Speaker
Well, that's what you said. now And then you can draw whatever conclusions you want to draw. What you said, kids, what I say doesn't seem right because of my voice.
00:18:56
Speaker
You're saying what I said the context or what of what I say things is like, see it don't seem like that's the way it should be. Now that I got the definition, Bruce, you're right.
00:19:09
Speaker
However, it don't seem right coming from you. Yes. Yes. Yeah, so you are. You're calling me and my voice stupid. That's what you say. I'm not calling you stupid because we both know that you're not stupid. Well, we all know that I'm not stupid. saying you sound dumb.
00:19:31
Speaker
You know what? There are thousands of people that listen and watch this podcast that don't feel that way. And also people I'm joking. No, no, she's not. This has been a reoccurring theme in the family since we were kids. I have never said your voice sounds dumb. I've never said that to you in life. You and our brother used to be like, oh, Bruce, don't worry about it. don't you go have some graham crackers or something? I always used to say that stuff back in the day. I was like, wait minute.
00:19:57
Speaker
I'm smarter. I'm smarter. Right now, at this moment, I'm smarter than you guys. ah Well, the point, well, you would call yourself the dumb one. We didn't do that. Oh, in the grand scheme of things,
00:20:10
Speaker
At our age level, yes, I was the dumb one. Y'all was both in gifted classes, like in second grade. I was in remedial and so forth.
00:20:22
Speaker
First of all, in high school, I was in remedial class. It was remedial math because your ass is not good in math. Not at all. I could not pass algebra. They had me in the in the class. It was algebra.
00:20:36
Speaker
I passed my main grade. Couldn't pass it. I had i have summer school, everything. Could not pass algebra. I finally did after they put me in the remedial class. So it's like you have the algebra class and then your next class explains what you just learned in that first class.
00:20:58
Speaker
That's what my schedule was. No, but you were still in gifted and talented in the other classes. You just wasn't good in math. Yeah, but my grades were bad because I had ADHD and I didn't know.
00:21:09
Speaker
and well then then Well, okay, yeah. And it didn't help that you just figured your senior year was, hey, I got half days. I'll just do what I want to do. Yeah, I pretty much was just living life. No, but i was still on I was still on the honor roll, though, because there there's no way mom and dad would have let me get away with that attendance if I wasn't bringing on good grades. Yeah, well, that's true. He had to work real hard. But ladies and gentlemen, this is a... Y'all just got a good sneak peek in our dynamic from from the beginning.
00:21:36
Speaker
yeah From all our lives. Bruce, what you saying doesn't sound right. Then come to find out I'm right. Yeah, I admit it. You're right. It's just, you know. Yeah, don't care. It's your voice. I got a dumb sounding voice.
00:21:49
Speaker
On that note... okay I am kidding, ladies and gentlemen, f please don't don't at me. I'm kidding. No, she's not. She's a jerk for real. She's not playing jerk.
00:22:00
Speaker
not a jerk for real. i think I'm a very not not unpleasant person. All right, we didn't go on too long in this diddly-dodd. There was just supposed to be a little bit, and then it became an attack on me for sounding dumb. But on that note, ladies and gentlemen, I want to warn you that the next segment is parental discretion. It needs to be advised here. Trigger warning. This is going to be a very, very tough subject to talk about. It's going to be a very graphic subject to talk about.
00:22:33
Speaker
If your kids are around... and you're not a bad parent, then put your kids away. Because you would be a bad parent if you let your kids listen to this. i Well, I'm not going to judge you.
00:22:45
Speaker
don't think so. Maybe, you know, you are doing new generation parenting and opening your kids' minds to, I don't know. What I just said sounded stupid. So on that note, I'm going in this segment.
00:22:55
Speaker
I'm going to issue a trigger
Shannon Sharpe Allegations and Legal Discussions
00:22:57
Speaker
warning to yeah anyone who is triggered by discussion of ah domestic violence and sexual abuse.
00:23:14
Speaker
All right, ladies and gentlemen, we've talked about Shannon Sharp on this podcast before when he had the Cat Williams interview that blew up his podcast, Club Shea Shea, when he had Monique on there.
00:23:25
Speaker
We talked about that. He's a former football player, Super Bowl champion. He's on First Take. He's got his own podcast, several different podcasts. He's about to sign a 100 million podcast deal.
00:23:38
Speaker
I mean, the brother is rolling in it. And just as he's about to sign this deal, news break. What was the news about? This prominent commentator has been sued in Clark County, Nevada, by a woman identified as Jane Doe. Her name has actually come out.
00:23:55
Speaker
We're not going to talk about what her name is. You want to look it up and you want to look up some of these graphic details, you can. We're going to talk about the overall themes and not get really, really into the details. But Jane Doe filed a lawsuit in April 2025 this month and accuses Sharp of rape, sexual assault, battery, and inflicting emotional distress during a nearly two-year relationship.
00:24:18
Speaker
The plaintiff is seeking over $50 million dollars in damages. The plaintiff alleges that she met Sharp at a Los Angeles gym in early 2023 when she was either 19 or 20 years old.
00:24:29
Speaker
At that time, Shannon Sharp was 53, 54, 55, around that age. The relief ship gain consent began as consensual, but allegedly became manipulative, controlling, and abusive over time.
00:24:41
Speaker
The lawsuit claims Sharp raped the woman in October 2024 and again in January 2025, both in Los Angeles. She alleges Sharp used physical violence, including choking and hitting her, and threatened to kill her if she resisted his sexual advances or confronting him about infidelity.
00:24:58
Speaker
The complainant also states Sharp recorded their sexual encounters without her consent and accessed her apartment complex without permission. The plaintiff claims to have suffered significant emotional, mental, and psychological harm as a result of Sharp's alleged accusations.
00:25:16
Speaker
She is represented by Tony Bugsby, and everybody knows Tony Bugsby because he's handling the high-profile sexual misconduct cases of Deshaun Watson and P. Diddy.
00:25:28
Speaker
Sharp is represented by attorney Lenny J. Davis, who has given him hall horrible advice. I'll get into that in a minute. Who has publicly denied the allegations, described in lawsuit as a blatant and cynical attempt to shake down Sharp for money.
00:25:43
Speaker
Sharp has a ah led addressed the allegations on social media, media labeling the lawsuit a shakedown and vowing to fight the claims in court. His attorney released text messages between Sharp and the plaintiff to support the claim that the relationship was consensual and included adult role playing and fan fantasy scenarios initiated by the plaintiff.
00:26:02
Speaker
It's but this received widespread coverage because Shannon Sharp and the lawyer have both come out and made statements as well as Tony Bugsby. The lawsuit is civil, not criminal, and seeks both compensatory and punitive damages exceeding over $50 million for physical, emotional, and rep reputational harm, or reputational harm, excuse me.
00:26:24
Speaker
As of now, there is no public rep record of a criminal investigation or charges related to these allegations. yeah So there's more to this story. And, Jay, you didn't get a chance to really get into the minutiae of the story because you've been, did I use that word right? Minutiae, do you want to question that? Or did that sound did that sound like it wasn't right?
00:26:46
Speaker
Because I know I used it right. ah I've never gone here end rules. Never again. But I know you haven't really been able to get into the details. So the details are... Sharp's lawyers released text messages where it's very graphic hu that the plaintiff Jane Doe is saying, you know, very graphic things that she wants him to do with her.
00:27:06
Speaker
and They have released audio recruit recordings that Sharp is saying is edited where he says, I'm going to choke the shit out of you. Yeah. Because she's she's pissing him off.
00:27:18
Speaker
And she was like, well, don't want to be choked. And he was like, well, yeah yeah, you do. You want to be choked. And there are text messages where there was a sexual encounter and she texts him. I don't know how I feel about this. I asked you to use a condom and I asked you not to put it there.
00:27:33
Speaker
Ladies and gentlemen, y'all read up on text messages. I'm not going to get into that. It is too graphic. And we try to be somewhat of a journalistic type show, even though we get messy. Yeah.
00:27:44
Speaker
What I can say Because I can't speak to his innocence or guilt. I wasn't there. Yes. What I can say is this is all a bad luck. Yeah. All of it.
00:27:57
Speaker
Yeah. And I haven't gotten into, you you said that there was a some bad advice given by the defense attorney. Yeah. So I haven't, ah I'm interested to see you what that is, but I did see his vehement denial.
00:28:14
Speaker
That was the bad advice. The way that he denied it, if you watch it, it's just like, bruh, like, you shouldn't, you shouldn't have done that. Like, deny it, but, but... I mean, I guess in a way, if you didn't do it, I know if I was being accused of something like this, and and ladies and gentlemen, I would never do anything like this. If I was being accused of something like this, I would scream to the top of my lungs, I ain't doing this shit.
00:28:38
Speaker
ain't do it. Like, I yeah get that aspect of it. yeah But the way it comes off and them releasing the text messages between her, like... If it's gonna be a civil case, let it play out in court. Don't bring it to the public attention. It makes it look bad. And he already looks bad because you can't dispute the fact that he got kinks. And look, got kinks, cool. You know what I'm saying? Do your thing. What's bad to me... If it's consensual, then there's no problem. There's no problem.
00:29:08
Speaker
What's what was bad to me is I was talking to a friend of mine yesterday. And like I said, ladies gentlemen, we're gonna get graphic. I was talking to a friend of mine yesterday and I said, I have never made a good decision when my dick has made the decision.
00:29:28
Speaker
It's, it's, there has never been not one good decision that my dick has made for me. Yeah. Not one. Yeah. well yes yeah I am about to be 45 years old.
00:29:40
Speaker
And I was talking to a friend this morning because we were talking about the Shannon Sharp thing. And I was like, 35 years old is my youngest that I could date. Because after that, it gets real spooky.
00:29:52
Speaker
Yeah. Right. yeah Yeah. This man is in his mid 50s. She was 19. And if you look at pictures of her, she looks like a little girl. Yeah. and as far as I know, like this relationship was two years ago.
00:30:09
Speaker
No, it started in 2023, but they were still carrying on in January. Right. So my point is he was quite old. Yeah.
00:30:20
Speaker
In comparison to her. So it's kind of one of those things of like, what is 19 year old? do He was like, what, 54, 53, 54 at the time? Like, what?
00:30:34
Speaker
Okay. And my thing is this, too. My man is rich, right? He got bread because he's all over the place. He's about to sign a $100 million dollar deal for his podcast. And that's just one of his jobs, right? Yeah, yeah.
00:30:47
Speaker
Whatever happened to getting yourself a call, girl? Or getting an escort service? If you got kink, you know, they got that. I had one of my female friends... And I don't know why she asked me.
00:30:59
Speaker
One of my female friends said, hey, I got to ask you something. Can I call you? And I was like, look, anytime you call me, I know it's some bullshit. But OK, give me a call. And she called me. She was like, hey, do you know of like any DS or BDSM or dominatrix groups that I could join?
00:31:19
Speaker
And I said, why would you think that I would have that information? jesus She said, hey, you look like the type. No, I was like, why do you think would have that type of information? Like, no, I don't. She was like, oh, because I know you like interview sex workers and stuff like that.
00:31:36
Speaker
Oh, okay. yeah that That might be, yeah. first you not You might have friends in the biz and, you know, can make some calls and figure out some things. I was like, no, I can't help you. And I was like, I think you might actually be able to, though.
00:31:55
Speaker
ah Could I make some calls? Yeah, I don't want make those uncomfortable calls. I'm not gonna do that. That's not my relationship with those people. And that would make it weird in that aspect. And I was just like, yo, we're in our 40s.
00:32:07
Speaker
Isn't it a little late in the game to be getting into this? Like, this is, I guess, something that you should try when you was younger. No, it's never too late to explore your ear sexual side.
00:32:19
Speaker
don't I don't think we should put an age on that. and as well And again, as long as things are consensual, right you know like there's really no there's really no problem. And you're right, there are sex workers who you know specialize in certain kinks. like ah And it's Las Vegas, I'm sure.
00:32:39
Speaker
I'm sure. it's it's It's legal there in certain parts of Vegas. Why didn't he just go? So he gets in a relationship with this 19-year-old. Right. Which is already like, okay. Problematic.
00:32:51
Speaker
And i tend to believe her when she says certain aspects about feeling manipulated and bullied and because he's a hulking of a man, number one.
00:33:05
Speaker
Yeah, very large's a large man, yes. A large man. He's older. He has all the money. And fame. And fame. And when you add money plus fame, it equals power.
00:33:17
Speaker
Right. So he's dictating how the relationship goes. And I'll never forget my friend explaining to me how sometimes she was in situations where she would just go along with situations, like in a man's home or something like that, because she never knew how the man was going to react.
00:33:36
Speaker
Now, just imagine that man is six foot four, 260 pounds and shredded. And a former all pro Hall of Fame football player. yeah Tony Busby got some ish about him too.
00:33:50
Speaker
He's always around these cases. And it always seems like he's trying to get money. Because my thing is, if it happened in January 2025 and you're suing him civilly, shouldn't there also be a criminal case as well?
00:34:06
Speaker
Yeah, it it kind of because I mean, I don't know the statute of limitations in Las Vegas. 20 years. For assault, for sexual assault? Yep. Yeah. So i'm I'm confused why there isn't a criminal case.
00:34:22
Speaker
If you've got the evidence to present during discovery to that would prove your case, I don't know why you wouldn't file criminal charges also, because I would want not just for him to pay financially, but if these allegations are in fact true...
00:34:40
Speaker
and And they have the evidence to prove it. I mean, I would want him to be held responsible criminally. But again, I mean, it's up to Jane Doe whether you know whether she wants to file those charges.
00:34:59
Speaker
According to Busby, Sharp offered her $10 million to settle her case, which she rejected. Yeah. So there's been i i was watching interview with a lawyer because a lot of people have said, well I mean, he offered 10 million. So that means he off he automatically did it.
00:35:15
Speaker
And there's a there's a formula for paying settlements, something like that. It's the the lawyers could come to Sharpe and say, well, there's a 10 percent chance that you're going to lose this case.
00:35:28
Speaker
and OK, 10 percent chance. So what's 10% of $15 million? That'd be $5 million, right? Yeah. yeah Not including lawyer fees, which are automatically going to be around $8 million dollars for a case like this, right?
00:35:44
Speaker
So you offer offer to settle if you go to trial, right? $8 million dollars if you go to trial. So you offer to settle for $10 million because you know, at the very least, it's a high probability that you're going to be out $13 million.
00:35:57
Speaker
So you offer the $10 million and up front, so that you up $3 million. So just because he was willing to settle for $10 million, dollars which is a lot of money, by the way, that you know doesn't mean that that's that he's acknowledging guilt Yeah, likely the stipulation would be this, you know, there would be some sort of language in there where this is not an admission of guilt. Yeah.
00:36:24
Speaker
You know, it's just, you know, if he can avoid the bad public, he seems very open to releasing whatever he needs to release to prove that he is not, to prove to prove that these allegations are false.
00:36:41
Speaker
Yeah. So, but in but, you know, you want to avoid such a public, you know, view of, like, very private situations.
00:36:54
Speaker
Does he, though? what i is what I don't know, because this is also the same dude that went live by, quote-unquote, accident. Even even though... It's very difficult to just go live. Like there are several buttons you have to push. You don't just, it's not like a butt dial. Like you can't just go live by accident. you Like you um just can't. A butt dial while he's having sex.
00:37:18
Speaker
Come on now. That pun was intended. I mean, it wasn't, but if it's there, speak have at it. He's also a spokesman for one of those male enhancement pills. It's not Blue Chew is real or something like that. Like he's a huge spokesman for that.
00:37:37
Speaker
who What also needs to be talked about is there is a video recording yeah
00:37:44
Speaker
of what the plaintiff says is the sexual assault. Yeah. He's come out and said, and they offered to show in in in the settlement agreement when they were mediating, they offered to show the video.
00:38:01
Speaker
And he denied to look at the video. They're claiming that the video is heavily heavily edited. And I was like, how is it heavily edited if you haven't even looked at it? That doesn't make any sense to me. around And that they were role playing. And that doesn't mean that it was sexual assault. Now, all those things could be true.
00:38:19
Speaker
At the very least, once again, I will say, This is a bad look. Yeah, it's not great. There is nothing good that could come from any of this.
00:38:30
Speaker
And it seems like he keeps putting himself in these stupid situations. Yeah. That's, a nu less' you know... Yeah, I was just joking about you earlier, but Shad Sharp is a person where actually his voice does sound dumb.
00:38:47
Speaker
That's because he has a lisp and he's country. It seems to be lining up with his his common sense as well. it It seems to be sorely
Media Double Standards and Relationship Dynamics
00:38:57
Speaker
lacking.
00:38:57
Speaker
I mean, I just...
00:39:02
Speaker
I hope for his sake that... ah And for this young lady's sake, these allegations are actually not true. That's what I hope. But either way, this is going to get even messier because it feels to me like...
00:39:19
Speaker
Shanna Sharp is willing to do and put out and post anything to to get out from under this. And so it's, i mean, a lot of these deals and stuff, he's gonna to kiss goodbye because just just the fact that you're private detail like your private business and the private things that you're into, you know, come out is...
00:39:48
Speaker
It's hard to get advertising dollars behind something like that. I would say maybe, but he's already done it. He's a Disney employee.
00:39:59
Speaker
yeah He works for ESPN. ESPN is owned by Disney. He had that accidental sex live thing on Instagram and there was no heat or backlash.
00:40:12
Speaker
He got a deal with a male enhancement. So I'm thinking... If he beats this, this doesn't do any damage to his marketability because he'll just market himself as a what is it, virile?
00:40:25
Speaker
Virile? Is that right word? Virile? Almost 60 year old because he is almost 60 years old. think he's 56, 57. A very 60 year old man that's just loving life and and doing what he what's to do.
00:40:40
Speaker
Isn't that isn't that double standard? Just. Yeah, because, you know, because if it was a woman, boy. Speaking of that, you know, who got backlash for saying that she likes to date younger men?
00:40:53
Speaker
Tracee Ellis Ross. Yes. Yeah. Yes. And i even though I 100% agree with her, she's not talking about she wants to date 18-year-olds, you know, first of all, relax.
00:41:05
Speaker
But yeah, she's 52. The men her age, age ah like them the them, the masculinity is toxic. And so...
00:41:16
Speaker
and so And you don't want to deal with it. But a lot of these younger guys don't have that hang up. They're used to seeing successful women and they they're used to seeing successful black women. I mean, they grew up with their first lady being Michelle Obama.
00:41:33
Speaker
You know, so so that... the black woman's success or women's success in general doesn't ah doesn't scare away these younger guys.
00:41:48
Speaker
you know I just now thought about that. If you took somebody who was 10 years like younger than me, so a man that's 34 years old, that means he was 18 years old. with Michelle Obama.
00:41:58
Speaker
Excuse me. I don't even know what happened. Started getting a little... Your voice went out there a little voice went out there. Maybe I'm not... saying Maybe because it's subcontinent. My subconscious trying to not sound stupid. Anyway. Ladies and gentlemen, people prepared to hear about this for another three or four episodes.
00:42:17
Speaker
I will beat a dead horse. I will beat a dead horse. But no, when you think about it, that that man was 18 years old seeing Michelle Obama as a First Lady. But you would think that i would that men are my age would also have that type of reverence because we saw Hillary Clinton.
00:42:38
Speaker
No.
00:42:42
Speaker
yeah but Okay. All right, that's... I would love to elaborate, but the answer is just nah. You'd think so.
00:42:53
Speaker
You would think so. Yeah. But nah. Because I saw Hillary Clinton. well Well, no, because I was toxic as well. I didn't stop being toxic until I was 43 years old.
00:43:05
Speaker
Anyway, ladies gentlemen. This don't, this, I mean, at once again, like I said at the beginning, i have never made a good decision when my dick was making a decision. Sorry um people for being so graphic, but I just, I just haven't. Men don't make good decisions when that part of our body is making the decision. And it was clear, they met it in gym and she described it as he was persistently hollering. And I was just like, bruh, like you Shannon Sharp.
00:43:32
Speaker
Even though she she is an OnlyFans girl, ain't no woman that bad that I'm going to... Look, I'm regular old Bruce. yeah I don't persistently bother anybody. And I ain't even... Shannon Sharp got money like that.
00:43:45
Speaker
right I don't understand if you, Shannon Sharp, got money like that, why you need to persistently bother a 19-year-old. Right. Just dumb decision that he put himself... If this is not true and he didn't do this... Mm-hmm.
00:44:00
Speaker
which is an if for me, he put himself in this position from his dumb ass decision making. There was not one smart decision that he made throughout this entire process.
00:44:15
Speaker
no Not one. no so um'm
00:44:21
Speaker
I mean, you know, if he if if if these allegations are not true, He will be the victim in this situation, so I don't want to victim blame. No, I'm a victim blame on this one, because even if he is a victim, he put himself in this position.
00:44:36
Speaker
But, um you know, you gotta... Boy, you just gotta... If it was a situation where he thought they're role-playing, but, you know, she...
00:44:50
Speaker
somewhere along the way was no longer into it like there should have typically there are you know safe protections in place safe words and things like that and and it's like an ongoing conversation ensuring like do i have consent are we both still on the same page with this like are we both still enjoying this and getting, you know, equal enjoyment i out of whatever we're doing? Because if, if the, if, if her mind changed somewhere along the way and she felt like she couldn't, because of who he was, you know, say something or assert herself or something.
00:45:37
Speaker
I mean, it it's a tough, it's a tough situation. and It's tough. The one text message that I keep going back to is they had they did what they did. and she texted him and she said, i told you i wanted you to wear a condom and you didn't wear a condom. And I told you I didn't want you to put it there.
00:45:56
Speaker
And you put it there. I don't know how I feel about this. i don't know how I feel. Those those type of buzzwords. I've heard those buzzwords before. Mm hmm. Like, you're just like, I don't know what happened. I don't know how I feel about this. I've heard that before.
00:46:12
Speaker
And that's always, that's not a woman not who... in Not directed towards him. No, no, not directed towards me. with I think I've told the story before where I worked crisis hotline at the University of Maryland yeah for like a short period of time because I couldn't deal with it. Because I realized that the stories of sexual assault that we were reporting in a newspaper were not nearly what was happening on campus. No. No.
00:46:34
Speaker
um There were many, many more. Yeah. So I've heard it through counseling and from my female friends. I know certain words and phrases that they use where it was like, oh, you're unsure about this because you didn't really give consent, but this happened.
00:46:52
Speaker
Yeah. And you don't know how to feel about this. Right. But if this is true, that she blatantly said, yo, I told like yeah so you to wear a condom. Like, I told you didn't want to do that. And you did it anyway. That didn't in and of it alone is sexual misconduct.
00:47:06
Speaker
yeah And the fact that this was sent through a text message and he didn't respond back, yo, what are you talking about? yeah Like, what are you talking about? Like, where is this come from? And he just didn't say anything.
00:47:18
Speaker
This don't look good. But then again, you know, I tend to believe, unfortunately, that Shannon Sharp is just not too bright. So maybe he don't know how to respond to these types situations.
00:47:31
Speaker
Or, you know, it could have been a situation where she sent it and, and I mean, we don't know. We just we don't we don't know, you know, i
00:47:44
Speaker
It's very, very tough, very tough situation. But, you know, i my first instinct is always to believe the victim. I know that people are innocent until proven guilty, but i I will give the victim the benefit of the of the doubt. And if she is pursuing this after receiving an offer to settle and and is is saying, no, I want to pursue this case, then we just got to let it play out in court and see ah If she can prove her case or he can prove his and see what happens. But but
Conclusion and Final Thoughts
00:48:19
Speaker
my first instinct is always to believe the victim.
00:48:22
Speaker
Yeah, this is going to get settled out of court. and She didn't take the $10 million. They offer $10. She's going at $50. They'll meet somewhere in the middle. Probably be about $25 million. don't know. That or, you know, I see his dander is up. So I don't know if he might want to push it.
00:48:41
Speaker
and there's $100 million dollars on the table, i wouldn't push it. I wouldn't. yeah I mean, if i knew if i knew that some of my kinks were going to be so explicit, because it seems like some his kinks are real explicit, that they were going to be so explicit that they were truly, even though I've been modeled as this, I'm the onk that's still getting it in that could damage my brand, and I could potentially lose part of that $100
00:49:09
Speaker
75 million is a whole lot better than whatever few 10 million that he got. Yeah. i I would, I think this is going to get settled, but I think this is also, i think it's a very similar case to Kobe Bryant where
00:49:28
Speaker
I want to give the benefit of doubt to him and to her and think and think that this is this is a wrong choice of words, ladies and gentlemen. I wish I had better words. A really unfortunate misunderstanding and lack of communication of what was going on.
00:49:43
Speaker
That's what I'm thinking it is. I don't think he's one of these I'm going to take it type dudes. I just don't think he is. But hey, you know what? You never know. You never know. I mean, honestly, well, I'm sure other not me, but I'm sure other people oh were extremely surprised when that video of Diddy came out.
00:50:05
Speaker
and that in that hotel hallway. Oh, yeah, I was surprised about that video. I didn't think that that, I didn't think, that yeah. You never know what people are capable of. you never now never know. You never know. I feel like we're in a time and space now where people are feeling more, they're they're getting their courage up as far as coming forward ah against powerful people because they're seeing other people be successful in in outing these people and and getting some form of justice, whether it be criminal or civil. So i don't think it's going to be the end of people coming forward and saying, no, these powerful people abuse their power in really, really awful ways.
00:50:51
Speaker
so All right, you can bring the kids back in. We're going to try to get some more funny stuff next.
00:51:06
Speaker
Jay, you've known me for a long time. Yes, 40 years. And have I ever had a poker face of what I'm thinking? Not ever. Not never.
00:51:17
Speaker
Not never. Yeah. If anybody who watches us, watches the YouTube as opposed to listening on your favorite social media platforms whatnot.
00:51:28
Speaker
It's audio platforms, not social media platforms. Whatever. The platforms, y'all. yeah Y'all know what I'm talking about. Listen. Come on now. Y'all know what I'm about. She got lot of finals going on. She in the final season. If you watch, then you see neither one of us have a poker face. No.
00:51:42
Speaker
No. No. You know exactly what I'm thinking. I know exactly what you're thinking. People around me know exactly what I'm thinking. I have the WTF lines on my forehead, the wrinkles on my forehead, because I'm always scratching up my face when somebody says something stupid.
00:52:00
Speaker
And it just so happens it feels like people say stupid stuff all the time. Yeah. So what does this mean? What does your face mean? when it's when you're not saying words, but the words are coming off in your face. So there's scientific support for the idea that people often reveal what they are thinking or feeling through their facial expressions.
00:52:21
Speaker
Even when they try to hide it, facial expressions are a powerful form of nonverbal communication that convey emotions such as happiness, Anger, sadness, fear, and more. And that more is, for me, irritation.
00:52:35
Speaker
Yes. Yes. Research by Dr. Paul Ekman has identified several universal facial expressions that are recognized across cultures, suggesting that some aspects of fate are racial ah ah facial expressions are deeply rooted in human biology.
00:52:51
Speaker
yeah However, the relationship between racial expressions and true thoughts or feelings is complex. Facial. but you What did I You keep saying racial, but you... I know you see the a spatial, but you... I said, how many times I say racial?
00:53:06
Speaker
Like twice? and My dyslexia is kicking in. I'm reading something, ladies and gentlemen, and, you know, the reason why I stop on words is because the letters don't be mixing up, and I had to reform them in my head. It's called dyslexia. You mean they do mix up?
00:53:22
Speaker
Exactly. See, this is the reason why she says I have a dumb sounding voice, because sometimes what I say is dumb as hell.
00:53:34
Speaker
Keep saying racial instead facial. yeah All right. There are things called microexpressions. These are very brief, involuntary facial expressions that occur when someone tries to conceal an emotion.
00:53:48
Speaker
Microexpressions can last less than fifth of a second and may reveal true feelings even when a person is attempted to hide them. Yes. For example, someone might flash a look of disgust or fear before quickly masking it with a smile.
00:54:02
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. That is me. yeah Every day of my life. Yeah. Mine are more like macro expressions because I do not mask afterwards. ah If i ever a look of disgust pop on my face, it stay on there until somebody tells me to fix my face.
00:54:26
Speaker
You know what? Now that I think about it, you know what mom's favorite thing to say to us was? was that? Fix your face. Yes. it Fix your face. What? Now I understand what that means. Yes. I didn't realize. it It's only recently that people have been pointing out to me, your face is telling me everything that your words are saying.
00:54:48
Speaker
but Or they'll just say, yeah, your face and your words match right now. Yeah. Because as I've gotten older, I've gotten less and less of a filter. That part. Yeah. So you'll see my face and then quickly after the words will come to match what my face is doing.
00:55:07
Speaker
So if i make a face after you say something that says, you look, you sound dumb as hell. And then just know what will follow will be me saying, you sound dumb as hell.
00:55:22
Speaker
All right, there's masking and concealment. yes People can sometimes successfully hide their true emotions. Research shows that follow-up movements such as deliberate smile can mask microexpressions in the eyes, making it difficult even for attentive observers to detect the original emotion.
00:55:39
Speaker
This masking effect is particularly strong um when the mouth movement follows the initial involuntary expression in the eyes. I don't know what none of that means. Yeah, ah so what I think it means is that like a first year, you get that involuntary expression in your eyes well and then you you kind of smile afterwards. Like you're like, yeah oh, that's okay.
00:56:06
Speaker
You know, like it's a little bit like it's that quick cover up. The quick cover-up? Yeah. I think I did that. So i remember one time, my very first job, I was working at Walden Bookstore. you And I was a little man on the totem pole.
00:56:19
Speaker
yeah So you know what they had me do? um All the great work. yep Unbox all the books. Yeah. And then go put them in the proper categories. Yeah. And sometimes I would have to punch in a number uh, into the computer to find out which category it was. Cause I lied on my resume and an interview and said I was an avid reader.
00:56:38
Speaker
You and I both know. Yeah.
00:56:44
Speaker
You and I both know. Yeah. That immediately made me spit my coffee. Yeah. I didn't even read the books that was assigned in high school. I wasn't reading nothing.
00:56:54
Speaker
Yeah. And a lot of times people would go in the Walden bookstore and they couldn't find the books. You know why? Because I would get tired. Yeah. And would just go put the books anywhere. Like, I don't care. They don't know that the customer didn't put it here.
00:57:06
Speaker
I'm going to go put the books anywhere. B, D, C. I'll be checking that camera and be like, look, look, look. Watch Bruce put it in the wrong spot. Watch. There you go. There it is. So my manager came up to me in the back and he was talking to me about giving me like a bunch of things that I need to do.
00:57:22
Speaker
And as he was telling me this, he was like, All right, is everything okay? are you mad about something? Of course I was mad. I was mad because I didn't want to do none of those jobs that he was yeah labeling off for me to do. You know what I wanted to do?
00:57:35
Speaker
Sit at the cash register ring people up. That's all I really wanted to do. But he was going to have me do all this grunt work. And low-key, there's a piece of me that was like, making make me do this because I'm Black.
00:57:45
Speaker
But realistically, i was only young person in there. And I was the only one I could really lift the boxes and stuff like that. It was like some old women that typically worked in there. And I was like, and then Miss, I want to call her Miss Sealy. That was not her name, but Miss Sealy.
00:58:00
Speaker
I loved her so much. And I was like, Miss Sealy, you ain't got to do that. I'll lift it up. yeah But my face said i was mad as hell. And when he said that, I know I quickly changed my face, but I couldn't hide it.
00:58:12
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. I think I'm pretty good at masking, depending on the situation I'm in. You know, because like, especially like in work at work or something, you know, somebody makes a lame joke about Mondays and you're like, even though you're inside, you want to go, a just roll your eyes and kind of be like, please shut and get on my face.
00:58:34
Speaker
So I think I'm pretty good at masking in situations like that. But as I get older, less and less so. Yeah. So there are also limitations of interpretation and a symmetry of mixed signals. Basically, sometimes our facial expressions can convey something, but it's not our actual true emotions.
00:58:55
Speaker
For me, it's always my true emotion. There is never any time that my face is lying to you. My face is telling you exactly how I feel. I don't know why people listen to the words that speak to contradict the faces that I make.
00:59:08
Speaker
Yeah. If I, if you say to me, hey, did that sound stupid? And my face is reading, yeah, that was dumb as hell. But I come out my mouth and be like, no, no, no. If you like it, I love it.
00:59:20
Speaker
I'm lying to you. Yeah. If I'm looking like this, it'd be like, oh, that's nice. Yeah. No. I'm clearly, I don't think it's nice. Yeah.
00:59:32
Speaker
This woman I was dating one time asked me, she said, do you like these pants? And I said, yeah, like them. She's like, no, you don't. Your face is telling me that you don't. What? I didn't even do nothing. that She was like, your face said you, there was a disgusting look on your face. I was like, all right, fine.
00:59:48
Speaker
I'm not the greatest fan of those pants, but yeah you could still, matter of fact, I'm not going to who it was. I know him. I'll tell you off camera who it was. I was like, I hate them ugly ass pants.
01:00:01
Speaker
ah So ladies and gentlemen, if you can't hide who you are through your facial expressions, you know what? Don't. Be your true authentic self. Be yourself. Be yourself. Even if it's at your boss. Sometimes your boss needs to know that you think they did dumb as hell. you don't have to say it.
01:00:16
Speaker
You have say it. You have to say it. I ain't nothing. But your face will say it. You can't take me to HR over my face. I think they can say facial expressions can be threatening.
01:00:30
Speaker
I think that is a thing. I don't know. ah Y'all tell me, can you be taking the HR over your face? Because if so, I should be in HR. a lot.
01:00:41
Speaker
yeah I am HR. Because I will be in them Zoom meetings and be like... yeah I am HR, so you can't take me to me.
01:00:52
Speaker
Right.
01:00:55
Speaker
ah All right. We laughed a little bit after that last segment. Jay, what do you want to tell these people out here? Be yourself. Be yourself. Because if you're not yourself, who who the hell are you? Right. Or take what Salt-N-Pepa said.
01:01:08
Speaker
Express yourself. Because you and I know only you are. Express yourself. and I don't know. I don't think those were the right words. of No, I'm pretty sure. Because I've never heard that collection of words together in my life.
01:01:25
