Then we’re gonna be giving you some real takes and some cold truths, and then we’re gonna talk about black expressions. that’s enough of the intro. Let’s get to the show.

Bruce Anthony: What up sis?

Bruce Anthony: I can’t call it. I can’t call it. Um, I want to give the audience a little update to the podcast.

Bruce Anthony: Me and you have talked about this behind the scenes,

Bruce Anthony: changed the format, not really the format, but kind of like what’s going on with the show as you turn off your air conditioning, as we’ve already started the show and the, let’s just say the start of this show.

Ladies and gentlemen, I’m gonna tell you, I don’t know how this is gonna go today because, because we’re both frazzled. We both

Bruce Anthony: time that we record. I’m

Bruce Anthony: She’s tired. I’m

Bruce Anthony: over my words a lot more than I normally do, but we gonna roll with it.

Bruce Anthony: have, we ain’t got no choice. demand it.

Bruce Anthony: [00:02:00] Uh, so ladies and gentlemen, if you haven’t noticed since the beginning of the year, me and my sister have been shy away from political topics. Every now and then we’ll bring it up if it’s something very, very important that needs to be discussed. And we’ve been doing a somewhat on our YouTube exclusives, but I was actually talking to our father

Bruce Anthony: night and I’ve seen a growth.

Bruce Anthony: And not only our YouTube, which by the way, we’ve hit two 20,000 subscribers today

Bruce Anthony: this time that this show is Aaron. We’ll, probably, probably at like 21 or maybe even 22, who knows?

Bruce Anthony: the show has been growing. Not only our Instagram page has, has been growing slowly. Good God, so slowly.

Bruce Anthony: it’s, it’s chugging along.

It’s like, you know, an old pickup truck. It’s still, it’s still getting the job done

Bruce Anthony: [00:03:00] And we’ve been getting a lot more engagement, comments and stuff like that on our TikTok the videos that, that we’ve been posting. And it, and, and father was just like, yes, sometimes people just need to escape.

And we’ve been, the election, we were talking so much real stuff.

Bruce Anthony: And gonna be honest, even though it is naturally our default we try to hide it, we were coming off as somewhat angry.

Bruce Anthony: yeah. Somewhat angry. Now

Bruce Anthony: whether you don’t know this or not, that is our natural default.

I have a burning rage that’s inside of me that

Bruce Anthony: through workouts, alcohol and laughter.

Bruce Anthony: out a little bit too much and I, I was noticing that we weren’t getting the traction. Look, we are not going to change who we are. We’re gonna talk

Bruce Anthony: current events and topics that are going on in today’s society and sometimes that’s gonna be real.

[00:04:00] But I’ve also really enjoyed the last few shows that we’ve done where we’ve just kind of been like, we’ve been semi-serious, but kind of silly. And that’s

Bruce Anthony: of how I always wanted the show to be. I didn’t want be a political podcast. Pod Saves America is that,

Bruce Anthony: we could talk a lot about a little bit and a little bit about a lot, but not a lot, about a lot. So we gonna say that for them,

Bruce Anthony: you know, and I just, are, we are getting back to giving y’all laughs being silly, but also real. And that’s how things are gonna be.

Bruce Anthony: going to talk about serious topics still every now and then,

Bruce Anthony: but I. Now we want to, we want to get back to laughing. We wanna get back to joy.

‘cause we know that that’s what y’all want. Y’all

Bruce Anthony: So

Bruce Anthony: don’t, I don’t, I think it’s going back to the old direction.

Bruce Anthony: we, the first podcast, the first podcast is literally titled to Power. Power The Truth. ‘cause I messed it up. We weren’t talking about nothing serious. I think the

Bruce Anthony: to the show by the

Bruce Anthony: Yes, we did.

Bruce Anthony: on the second show.

Bruce Anthony: we had second breaks on the second show.

Bruce Anthony: there’s a whole first show

Bruce Anthony: did, we did eventually put out on, uh, no, we

Bruce Anthony: the very first record. And we was like, we can’t put

Bruce Anthony: on air. This can’t be our

Bruce Anthony: where I misspoke and we had to cut an entire segment and that never made it to air.

We’ll never

Bruce Anthony: I misspoke so bad. I was like, oh no, no, no, no, no, no. This

Bruce Anthony: throughout the whole thing.

Bruce Anthony: Um, I don’t know. I don’t think, I think we didn’t really start getting, uh, there’s a dramatic difference going back to like August last year through November.

Bruce Anthony: it was like serious topic at the serious topic. At the serious

Bruce Anthony: definitely for

Bruce Anthony: [00:07:00] Well I told you about it off the air and I have no problem saying it on the air. I told you about it off the air that I couldn’t, for some strange reason, I had lost like 20 pounds.

Bruce Anthony: Thanksgiving, right before the election, and then after the election going into holidays, I gained it right back.

And people will say, well, it’s the holidays. People eat right. I’m way more disciplined,

Bruce Anthony: stop for some reason

Bruce Anthony: figure out what it was. I was depressed. I was

Bruce Anthony: that I didn’t realize that I was depressed,

Bruce Anthony: depressed doing the show, talking about the serious topics all the time, and

Bruce Anthony: the outcome that we didn’t want, right, that, that I’m gonna say half of America didn’t want,

Bruce Anthony: I think was probably more of America didn’t want it now, but it, I was like, I thought about it and I remember I took off of work all day Wednesday and didn’t even watch the news until Wednesday night because I knew what was going to happen and I didn’t

Bruce Anthony: [00:08:00] with it.

Bruce Anthony: no. So yes, there was ladies and gentlemen, I, I can honestly say that those, those shows I still think are good.

Bruce Anthony: just aren’t what I want them to be.

Bruce Anthony: what I want this show to be. And we veered off and I think we’re back on course.

Bruce Anthony: ain’t nothing serious that we talking about today.

Bruce Anthony: am more excited about talking about this than

Bruce Anthony: for a long time. Don’t

Bruce Anthony: that means for the overall show for today, but

Bruce Anthony: excited about talking about it. So that’s a good thing.

Bruce Anthony: [00:09:00] ladies and gentlemen, you gotta understand that our scheduling is a little bit different. Like some stuff we can’t talk topical because we are literally filming this Tuesday night and the air’s Friday.

Bruce Anthony: whole bunch of stuff that can happen between Tuesday and Friday that

Bruce Anthony: we, we can’t address

Bruce Anthony: be changes.

So that’s the reason why we’ve been pushing the YouTube exclusives. ‘cause we do address stuff on the, if something happens and

Bruce Anthony: the show, it’ll be on the YouTube exclusives.

Bruce Anthony: um, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Bruce Anthony: on.

Bruce Anthony: sometimes you just gotta get back to basis, Hey,

Bruce Anthony: gotta be complicated.

You can make it

Bruce Anthony: than it should be.

Bruce Anthony: Uh, but as I said yesterday, I was speaking to our father

Bruce Anthony: and I remember when I taught our father how to side load the Amazon fire stick.

Bruce Anthony: He took it to a whole new direction. He was like, oh yeah, I got

Bruce Anthony: [00:10:00] on here and all this stuff to help me out and things like this.

And

Bruce Anthony: that he was a computer programmer, like he’s

Bruce Anthony: computer programmer, but nevertheless, he’s a computer programmer. So

Bruce Anthony: him these things, it’s immediate for him. It was like,

Bruce Anthony: This, this is in that and that, and he goes straight into it.

Bruce Anthony: him and we were talking about AI yesterday and he was like, your sister and ladies and gentleman.

That’s how my father sounds to me. Okay.

Bruce Anthony: but that’s how it sounds to me.

Bruce Anthony: sister now. She uh, she a bad member gentleman when it come to the ai.

Bruce Anthony: I told you it was in my head. That’s the way he

Bruce Anthony: And he, he’s like, she a bad member gentleman with that ai. And I was like, what you mean? He was like, yeah, she teaching me about all these different things and you know how I am with ai, she’s just surpassed me. I was like, yeah, well she is, you know, she got a certification in it, so I

Bruce Anthony: and he was like, he, he said that you could create some AI stuff for him that’ll make his job a little bit easier. Or did I mishear that?

[00:12:00] Whereas genic AI or AI agents actually go out and find information. On their own and they can kind of make decisions in a way. Um, and it’s a really effective way to like automate processes.

Bruce Anthony: okay. See, see,

Bruce Anthony: Come to this podcast. You learn a little bit. I’m just, I know that you know your AI because you said GPT correctly.

Bruce Anthony: so many people say chat tt.

Bruce Anthony: or TCP or um, R-E-S-P-E-C-T and I’m like, that’s, that’s not what it is. It’s chat GPT.

Bruce Anthony: everybody gets it wrong. And I’m like, that’s not

Bruce Anthony: I, I, I guess if you say GPT real fast, it, it just come, it creates a whole new word.

Bruce Anthony: know what that is. Sound it sound like a word that we probably shouldn’t be saying. ‘cause it seemed like it could be derogatory in some form of fashion somehow. Well, anytime I say words sometimes, look, lemme tell you, I just, I just got off of a call, a work call,

Bruce Anthony: and the person that I got off the work call is Jewish

Bruce Anthony: and we were talking about his, his friend moving to Tennessee.

Bruce Anthony: And he was like, I don’t know if there’s any Jewish people on Chattanooga, Tennessee.

And I was like, Chattanooga, Chattanooga, Tennessee is is a bigger town because it’s a college town.

Bruce Anthony: [00:14:00] Oh. He was like, oh, it’s a college town, then there’s definitely gonna be Jewish people there. And I said, well, wait a minute, now hold up. That seems racist. was like, what you mean? And I was like, because it’s a college town there that guarantees is gonna be Jewish people there. I said, if I said that, that would be racist. He was like, Hmm, I don’t know. I was like, no, I know. It feels that

Oh man, Bruce did this, Bruce did that. And they like, yeah, Bruce did. Yeah, Bruce ain’t worth it. And I’d be like, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho. You can’t say that. I can say that. That’s my brother. You can’t say that. ‘cause then we gonna have to fight. So it’s like, it’s kind of like that. It’s just like you gotta be in the club.

Bruce Anthony: [00:15:00] I think that concept is lost on a certain segment of the population when they

Bruce Anthony: this or do that?

Bruce Anthony: like, because you’re not part of that group, but they

Bruce Anthony: Yeah. ‘cause they’re part of the

Bruce Anthony: well, you know what my favorite cuss word is, right?

Bruce Anthony: It, it’s the same. It’s too short. What’s my favorite word? Why you want to say it like short, but,

Bruce Anthony: I have to be careful in the environment in which I say it,

Bruce Anthony: women,

Bruce Anthony: know that I’m not saying that about them. And

Bruce Anthony: talking about a woman and say that word, but that don’t mean an and that direction.

That’s just literally, it’s literally my favorite word. And I don’t know why it’s been my favorite word since I was a kid.

Bruce Anthony: [00:16:00] cuss word. MF ain’t never, I like, I hardly ever say that,

Bruce Anthony: don’t say FA lot. I’ll say SA lot

Bruce Anthony: because, I mean,

Bruce Anthony: because so many, so many of our favorite scenes by comedians, they punctuated with the

Bruce Anthony: Right, right. That I was just getting ready to say that ladies, gentlemen, that’s coming to America. When they was in Barber, no, they wasn’t in the barbershop. That’s when

Bruce Anthony: that’s where I’m going. I say that at

Bruce Anthony: once a week. That’s my line.

Bruce Anthony: is my favorite cuss word. It’s my favorite cuss word. it’s, no, my favorite word that, and Tom Foolery

Bruce Anthony: know how I know I’m getting old? ‘cause I was talking to somebody a couple of weeks ago and I was like, yeah, I’m just out there moving and shaking, you know, just had to do what I had to do. And they

Bruce Anthony: said, wait a minute. Hold, are you. Were you born in 1972? Because I was like, well, not that far from it,

Bruce Anthony: I I I rip and running too. Yep.

Bruce Anthony: gentlemen. As, as per this new format, that was us. Dilly ding and, uh, yeah, I,

Bruce Anthony: we, we done with the deal darling. Now I’m about to introduce a new segment, but I, I know what y’all gonna say ‘cause I get called out for it.

I’m always introducing a new segment and then don’t ever go back to that segment. And you

Bruce Anthony: why ladies, gentlemen? Because I forget about ‘em.

Bruce Anthony: That’s just, that’s basically, I introduced a

Bruce Anthony: and that segment doesn’t mean it’s gonna come back. It’s just new.

Bruce Anthony: So

Bruce Anthony: said new.

Not re I

Bruce Anthony: in you.

Bruce Anthony: ‘cause I didn’t say reoccurring. I didn’t

Bruce Anthony: back. I just said new.

Bruce Anthony: hot takes and cold truths. And we gonna get into that next.

Bruce Anthony: So like I said, here’s a new segment. Didn’t say reoccurring. Might not ever come back, but this new segment called Hot Takes and Cold Troops. And I’m gonna throw a couple scenarios at my sister to

Bruce Anthony: take and her cold truth about it.

Bruce Anthony: So Jay, let’s talk emergency contact fails.

Bruce Anthony: [00:19:00] in your life a hilariously unqualified to be your emergency contact? And you don’t have to, well, I guess you would have to say who it is, but you don’t

Bruce Anthony: to say who it is.

Bruce Anthony: could also tell a story about the most chaotic thing that they’ve ever done and the reason why that may be the reason they would never be your emergency contact.

Bruce Anthony: the same me mom.

Bruce Anthony: Oh, okay. So we have different reasons, but go ahead with yours.

It’s not even charging near her ringers off

Bruce Anthony: Um

Bruce Anthony: mm.

Listen, if your emergency contact is somebody you can’t ever get ahold of, you need a new emergency contact because I guarantee you, they’re not gonna answer a phone number. They don’t recognize, so you need a new emergency contact. So I did change my emergency contact.

[00:21:00] I actually, it’s our, it’s, it’s our cousin and I formed him the other day. One, he answers his phone, and two, he lives around the corner. So I know that if, you know, something happens and people are like, Hey, we haven’t heard from John, gotta do a welfare check. He’s right around the corner. So that’s, that’s why I should, but no, no, she don’t answer.

No, she don’t answer the phone.

Bruce Anthony: Okay. she’s, she would not be my emergency contact for a different reason. But I also wanna point out, you’ve been saying your real name a lot on the show, on the

Bruce Anthony: been, uh, your, your stage name is Jay Andrea.

Bruce Anthony: unless they know me.

Well, actually it

Bruce Anthony: with

Bruce Anthony: Yeah. Oh, yeah. But that’s, that’s not my fault. That’s not my government

Bruce Anthony: what, it don’t

Bruce Anthony: people to figure out our last names anyway,

Bruce Anthony: If you can’t spell brute, you know what? People have actually asked me, how do you spell it? And I’m like, are you stupid? And, and some people say it is B-R-U-S-E. And I was like, Bruce ain’t never in,

Bruce Anthony: a s

you don’t meet a lot of little kids. Hey kid. What’s your name, Bruce. You don’t, you don’t meet them. Uh,

Bruce Anthony: last little kid named

Bruce Anthony: I

Bruce Anthony: I’ve never met anybody close to my age named Bruce. So you absolutely right. My

Bruce Anthony: gave me an old 1960s name. All

Bruce Anthony: It is what it is.

Bruce Anthony: the reason why mom won’t be my emergency contact.

Bruce Anthony: once again, love our mother.

She is dependable. If you can get ahold of her,

Bruce Anthony: but she ain’t gonna do what I want her to do. And this is what I mean by this. One time I had a discussion with her and I said, yeah, you know, if it’s between my life or getting anything amputated, just go ahead and let me go. And mom was like, no, I’m not gonna do that.

And I was like, see, that’s the reason why I’m not gonna have you anywhere near the decisions. ‘cause you ain’t going to do what my wishes are. No,

Bruce Anthony: See, that’s what I’m talking about. It ain’t

Bruce Anthony: It’s about what I want and

Bruce Anthony: you know, I said, I’ve always thrown a caveat. If I had kids and a family, I’ll go ahead and be one-legged Bruce. I’d be one arm. Bruce, matter of

Bruce Anthony: [00:24:00] a guy from the Fugitive named Bruce.

Bruce Anthony: arm man’s real name was Bruce, and if y’all know who the Fugitive is, I just really aged myself. I mean, Ford was in the Fugitive, but that’s

Bruce Anthony: mom won’t do what I want to be done, you know?

If

Bruce Anthony: needs to lose this eye, or he’s going to die, my answer is go ahead and let me go. And she’d be like, no, you don’t need both eyes. Yes, I do.

Bruce Anthony: Hmm.

Bruce Anthony: that he would absolutely be,

Bruce Anthony: you as well.

Bruce Anthony: you and our younger brother, but our younger brother would do the cold-hearted. He

Bruce Anthony: He would hate it, but he would be like, this is what they want. be crying

Bruce Anthony: way through and he’d

Bruce Anthony: want to even give him that, ‘cause I don’t know if he would recover.

Bruce Anthony: And that, and they got a whole gang of sisters,

Who is gonna handle something in the event? Something goes down? You know, you gotta gotta really think, is this person gonna answer the phone?

Bruce Anthony: Hey mom, we love you dearly,

Bruce Anthony: but you don’t be answering your phone.

Bruce Anthony: Not ever. Alright, here’s another hot take. Cold truth. I know this has had to happen to you.

Bruce Anthony: The universal experience of scrolling for just five minutes and

Bruce Anthony: [00:27:00] realizing this tomorrow,

Bruce Anthony: is your best accidental all night story of you just sitting there scrolling on the phone?

It doesn’t actually have to be all nighter, but

Bruce Anthony: on the phone and the next thing you look up like, what the hell?

[00:28:00] And I was like, oh, well, well, well, damn. I spent a lot of time on this, but I was deeply invested and, and I actually haven’t been, uh, on TikTok since November. Um, but I frequently go down TikTok rabbit holes and I will be, I. Very, very late and I have a lot to do the next day or, or I get on my phone in the morning and then I’m, next thing I know, I’m like, I should have left for work 10 minutes ago.

I says, I’m already late. Might as well stop and get some coffee. So like,

Bruce Anthony: Black, black folks, logic that don’t make no sense at all, just so you all you late, so you’re

Bruce Anthony: late.

Bruce Anthony: Okay? Okay.

Bruce Anthony: So this happens to me, but in two different ways. This is what I

Bruce Anthony: YouTube is my scroll and just get absolutely lost.

Bruce Anthony: [00:29:00] it’s always a problem when I’m like, oh, I don’t have to get up early in the morning. I’m just going to on my phone and watch a couple of shorts. And then the shorts lead to, well, wait a minute, hold on.

Now I got to see this whole scene from this movie that I

Bruce Anthony: time. And then, oh, wait a minute, it’s got a whole bunch of scenes from that movie. Then the next thing I know, I didn’t watch 10, 10 minute clips from a movie. I didn’t watch the whole movie.

Bruce Anthony: I’m like, oh yeah, but you remember when he was in that movie, or remember when she was in that movie?

I remember this clip and, and I’ve done that,

Bruce Anthony: Sunday after we finished filming the YouTube exclusives and the after hours y’all can find on, uh, our YouTube

Bruce Anthony: Patreon page.

Bruce Anthony: I sat on the couch and I was trying to figure out what I was gonna order for my Sunday brunch.

Bruce Anthony: like, I don’t feel like cooking.

I’m tired. I’m gonna order some food. What do I feel

Bruce Anthony: [00:30:00] And I was just scrolling and scrolling and scrolling on Uber Eats and I said, well, let me get my mind off of what I want to eat and let me just go on Instagram real fast. Jay. I looked up and three and a half hours later

Bruce Anthony: my stomach told me, Hey bruh.

Bruce Anthony: about some food a while ago. I was like, oh damn. You right

Bruce Anthony: said one. It was I think last week.

Bruce Anthony: week

Bruce Anthony: and I was working, and my Apple watch kept going, bloop, bloop, and your face popping up. Bloop, bloop. Your face popping up. I was like, I guess she ain’t working right now. guess she got time on her hand, but you

Bruce Anthony: during that whole thing,

Bruce Anthony: sensitive about this.

It really agitates me

Bruce Anthony: [00:31:00] sent you stuff and you didn’t respond to none of the stuff I had sent you, which meant that you hadn’t checked your dms. You was

Bruce Anthony: and sending me stuff.

Bruce Anthony: Well, hold on now.

And, uh, so it’s like group chats. And I was like, I’m not, I’m just gonna mark everything as red, and if anything important, somebody will bring it up again, because I’m not going through all of those. I’m not doing it.

Bruce Anthony: [00:32:00] boys jive, like, think like I don’t rock with them anymore because I’m working or doing something, and my phone is always on silent. Like, it,

Bruce Anthony: I don’t remember last time my phone is ran. Okay. The only

Bruce Anthony: have my phone, like on on is when somebody’s coming to visit me and I need to, like, I need to be on top of it, but

Bruce Anthony: so I’ll check my phone and, but just with them it’ll be like a hundred text messages and I was like, I’ve missed this conversation.

Bruce Anthony: go back and read all those text

Bruce Anthony: Is, Hey, I missed this whole conversation. I ain’t gonna read back all these messages, but I’m here.

Bruce Anthony: whatever, so they

Bruce Anthony: they, like, we can’t even get ahold of you.

We have full conversations. Y’all have ‘em at

Bruce Anthony: time.

Bruce Anthony: through all that.

Bruce Anthony: know what? That’s another hot take, cold truth. I’m not

Bruce Anthony: morning to,

Bruce Anthony: not our mutual friend. It’s a, it’s a, a different friend

Bruce Anthony: um, I’m in a group chat with them

Bruce Anthony: because they’re on the west coast and the other person is on the East coast with me, I always wake up to about nine different dms and they’ll say, ‘cause the, the magic number on your Instagram dms, it’ll go up to four.

Bruce Anthony: put plus.

Bruce Anthony: put my head down like, oh.

Bruce Anthony: And if they’re just memes, okay, but they don’t just be memes, they be

Bruce Anthony: long ‘cause you could do long reels now.

Bruce Anthony: I got a client and she just says, yeah, I don’t ever respond back to the reals people send me. I was like, N never. It’s like, because if you respond back to some, then you gotta respond back to all. If you never respond back to any of ‘em,

Bruce Anthony: they know that you got ‘em. And I was like, that’s a, that’s a good idea.

Maybe I should start doing that.

Bruce Anthony: [00:35:00] that’s good that your people know your sense of humor. I have people sending me stuff and I’m like, that’s not funny.

Bruce Anthony: funny. Why would you think that? I would think that this is funny, especially some

Bruce Anthony: in my life that’ll send me stuff and it’s like a misogynist joke and I can laugh

Bruce Anthony: joke.

Bruce Anthony: I can still laugh.

Bruce Anthony: if it’s not funny,

Bruce Anthony: then the only reason why you think it’s funny is because it’s misogynist.

Bruce Anthony: And that’s, uh.

Bruce Anthony: the debates and I don’t know

Bruce Anthony: out, I’m not gonna do that. But on to the next topic, ‘cause we

Bruce Anthony: this for forever,

Bruce Anthony: versus hotels. Now, when Airbnbs first came out, I was all form.

Bruce Anthony: kitchen net and you get all this and that.

A home,

Bruce Anthony: Then Airbnbs gave you chores and I’m not for that. I’m like,

Bruce Anthony: [00:36:00] chores. Yeah. When you stay at Airbnb, it is chores. There’s a whole list of stuff that you gotta do before you, before you leave a hotel. All I gotta do is just pack my stuff and get up outta there. I can

Bruce Anthony: Airbnbs is

Bruce Anthony: nobs, like wash the dishes, make sure there’s nothing in the sink, put ‘em in a dishwasher, put all the towels and everything in the washing machine, that heat, and then put the dish detergent in there and then open it up halfway to put the fabrics off in there. And there I was like, wait a minute.

Dammit,

Bruce Anthony: chores.

Bruce Anthony: Oh, that’s the reason why. Oh, so you don’t have an pigment? Yeah, it’s chores.

You gonna have, there’s some drawbacks. And the drawbacks are you need to put that trash out and put the can on the curb, but don’t block the mailbox. But you know, like there, this is gonna be rules like

Bruce Anthony: when we stared in the Airbnb for your birthday

Bruce Anthony: and tho the, the chores afterwards were pretty reasonable, but it was a long list

Bruce Anthony: and you sent the list to me and then I, this is when I found out that you described me as meticulous, and I was

Bruce Anthony: [00:38:00] I’m not meticulous. And then you was like. I’m not going really check, but just to check and make sure everything was done on list. I was like, oh yeah, I took care of it. I know you

Bruce Anthony: about one thing ‘cause somebody did something wrong at the

Bruce Anthony: was like, that’s not what the list said. But I don’t want to do

Bruce Anthony: first started, they were cheaper than hotels. It is cheaper now to stay at a hotel because they got all these added fees in the Airbnb. So unless you’re in a big group,

Bruce Anthony: Otherwise, when I go to New Orleans, uh, for Halloween and, and y’all don’t be trying to follow me out there. No. Y’all could follow me out there.

Y’all want to come

Bruce Anthony: y’all wouldn’t come out there. Especially if you a fine teroni. Nevermind.

Bruce Anthony: I’m joking, I’m joking.

Bruce Anthony: I’m staying in a hotel. I’m not gonna

Bruce Anthony: no chores. I said I’m done with

Bruce Anthony: say, load the dishwasher and run it before you leave, and then put the dishes back. And I’m like, that’s, everything.

Bruce Anthony: to just clean up the house there?

Bruce Anthony: pay Well, you get, it’s supposed to be refundable if I remember correctly, but it’s been like four years since I stayed at the Airbnb because I won’t do it no more. I want

Bruce Anthony: and the comfort of a hotel

Bruce Anthony: on the air conditioning the heat the way I want it.

Bruce Anthony: they leave it at this temperature. No, it’s hot.

Bruce Anthony: it up. I don’t wanna

Bruce Anthony: [00:40:00] waking up in the middle of the night sweating because you don’t wanna turn your air conditioning up. I dealt with that growing up. I pay for my air conditioning now it’s freezing

Bruce Anthony: Last one Jay,

Bruce Anthony: get this Pets diva demands. the

Bruce Anthony: extra thing your pet, your pet insist on do you secretly love it?

Uh, and what does that mean for a dog? Right? You can’t take this girl’s collar off.

Bruce Anthony: Oh, okay.

[00:42:00] Um, but she definitely likes wearing clothes. She likes, you know, when I buy her t-shirts or she has like little hoodies and things like that. She loves it. Um, yeah. Does not like to be without some sort of a Coutre mall on her.

That is, that is very much her, her diva thing.

Bruce Anthony: Well, crypto was the exact opposite of that. He didn’t want

Bruce Anthony: nothing on and wanted to be free and naked and run loose. There was

Bruce Anthony: diva about crypto.

Bruce Anthony: however, I did live with mom for a certain period of time.

Bruce Anthony: Minnie the cat. Now,

Bruce Anthony: that I and my ex introduced into the family,

Bruce Anthony: Minnie.

Minnie was

Bruce Anthony: particular thing. didn’t wanna drink water out the bowl,

Bruce Anthony: to drink water out of the running sink.

Bruce Anthony: [00:43:00] I would be walking to my bedroom and she would be falling behind me meowing.

Bruce Anthony: not going turn on that sink for you.

No, I’m not going to do it.

Bruce Anthony: No, I’m not going to do it. Meow.

Bruce Anthony: count. You can meow all rough with me if you want

Bruce Anthony: And then I would get to the door and she’d be like, Meow. right. Yeah, I’m go ahead and turn on the

Bruce Anthony: And then I have videos of her just drinking. ‘cause I was like, this

Bruce Anthony: thing ever, how I’m gonna get upset about this.

So I secretly

I didn’t, she walked down toward my feet, sat on my feet and peed.

Bruce Anthony: Okay. Yes.

Bruce Anthony: one time.

Bruce Anthony: Hold on. I

Bruce Anthony: gotta tell this story. Wait, hold on. Finish your story. She peed on your

Bruce Anthony: What did she do when you was like, Hey, because I know you was like,

Bruce Anthony: so lemme tell you what Benny did to me. It was one time, you know, when I was living with mom, mom lives close to Baltimore, I was working in Northern Virginia

Bruce Anthony: and I would have to be in Northern Virginia at like six o’clock in the morning, which meant that I had to get up at like 4, 4 15 in the morning.

Bruce Anthony: when I was, when I was living there, thank God it was only for a couple months

Bruce Anthony: [00:45:00] living there it was like 10 o’clock at night.

‘cause I had finished up some work and Minnie was like, Hey, I’m gonna need you to turn on that sink for me. And I was like, Minnie, I’m gonna be real honest with you. I’m about to go in here.

Bruce Anthony: take my shower. I’m gonna get in bed because I gotta get up in six hours. I can’t, I can’t rock with you right now. Now what I could have

Bruce Anthony: is while I was in the shower, just turned on the sink floor,

Bruce Anthony: being hardheaded. It was my fault.

Bruce Anthony: She went right onto my bed and peed and I didn’t

Bruce Anthony: sheets. So I had to stay up that night clean cat pee out of my comforter. And my bedsheets.

I was up to

Bruce Anthony: in the morning

Bruce Anthony: and was pissed.

Bruce Anthony: Pissed, man.

Bruce Anthony: know what though? It’s not like I attacked that cat because she was too doggone cute. I couldn’t even get that

Bruce Anthony: her.

Bruce Anthony: [00:46:00] not our, that’s not our bag. We, that

Bruce Anthony: type of, that’s not the life that we

Bruce Anthony: I was, I mean, I was upset too. I was up

Bruce Anthony: I didn’t sleep well. I didn’t sleep at all Really? And had to get up

Bruce Anthony: next morning that, that really sucked. But, you know, many, you know, I’ll take that moment just to have you back just for just a little bit so I can give you a little hug and turn on that sink one more time. Yeah,

Bruce Anthony: a good cat. On that note, we about to get into something serious, black units of measurements and black expressions and we gonna get into that next.

Bruce Anthony: Okay, Jay, this, it started out as black units of measurements,

Bruce Anthony: [00:47:00] but then it turned into black units of measurements and expressions

Bruce Anthony: oh, I got this off of Instagram and somebody made a comment it was like, is this black expressions or southern expressions? And I said, yes,

Bruce Anthony: they, they are one and the same because a

Bruce Anthony: culture is black culture,

Bruce Anthony: not all of it. You know, the oppression and white supremacy, even though there are some black people that participate in those things, that’s not us. But

Bruce Anthony: the, all the expressions and the sands and the food and the music and all that stuff, all influenced by us.

So

Bruce Anthony: lady, yes, it is both black and southern, but this is an expression, I don’t know that other, other Southern people would say that aren’t black.

Bruce Anthony: Oh, my mama. Which is the highest level of sincerity and honesty.

Bruce Anthony: If

Bruce Anthony: you, Hey, look on my mama, I didn’t do that, then I

Bruce Anthony: [00:48:00] do it.

Bruce Anthony: And lie. Mm-hmm.

Bruce Anthony: might say, swear to God and lie before I say, oh my mama and lie,

Bruce Anthony: on now because I can finagle God by saying, God. That’s what I normally say anyway. People don’t be paying attention.

Bruce Anthony: No it’s not. It’s a

Bruce Anthony: you can’t.

You can’t finagle that. That’s straight down the line. And then next thing you know, you lie on your mama. She gets struck by lightning and she dead and that’s all ‘cause of you.

Bruce Anthony: [00:49:00] somebody says on my mama, they ain’t lying unless they ain’t got a good relationship. ‘cause I know one person, he ain’t got a good relationship with his mama. He might say on his mama and be lying

Bruce Anthony: but he also isn’t black, so. So there you

Bruce Anthony: Around the corner can be any number of places.

Bruce Anthony: Yeah,

Bruce Anthony: for me it’s probably about 20 or 25.

Bruce Anthony: Uh, I’ll tell you what is definitely not around the corner.

Bruce Anthony: know what we say if we are literally around the corner, because

Bruce Anthony: yep. That’s a, because you’re not here, but that’s

Bruce Anthony: expression. I’m here,

Bruce Anthony: I’m here. I’m here

Bruce Anthony: I’m real close. But

Bruce Anthony: five, 10 minutes.

We here. Yeah. Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: Um, uh, when the good Lord see fit,

Bruce Anthony: that’s definitely southern.

Bruce Anthony: Or si. I’ve seen young folks that are serious church going, folks

Bruce Anthony: when

Bruce Anthony: see fit.

Bruce Anthony: that’s not how life works, by the way, ladies and

Um, you on your own with that. So yeah, it’d be, it’d be him seeing fit for things that it ain’t got nothing to do with that.

Bruce Anthony: to do with it. Now, I don’t know if you remember this, but I definitely remember our mother saying this in her younger years,

Bruce Anthony: cotton picking minute. Now,

Bruce Anthony: long that actually is,

Bruce Anthony: and uh, I’ve never really understood the expression, but I’ve definitely heard a cotton picking minute. And if anybody could tell me how long that exactly is, or the timeframe, like when we said around the

Bruce Anthony: we give you a timeframe. And when we say we here, we give you a timeframe. How long is a cotton picking minute, man?

Bruce Anthony: That’s.

Like it’s, it’s literally a short amount of time. Like a brief, a brief pause, yeah.

Bruce Anthony: You know what’s something that black parents said, especially ours growing up,

Bruce Anthony: [00:53:00] for something and they say, we’ll, see,

Bruce Anthony: ain’t never seen.

Bruce Anthony: Can I go over

Bruce Anthony: tomorrow? We’ll see,

Bruce Anthony: I actually got mad. One time I got mad at our father. I can’t be how, I can’t remember how old I was, maybe nine or 10, and I

Bruce Anthony: the night over my friend’s house. He was like, we’ll see. And I was like, I know what that means. That means no. He turned around and he said, well, you know what, now that means no. I

Bruce Anthony: it was no the whole time.

Because if

Bruce Anthony: would’ve just said yes.

Bruce Anthony: not in my 45

Bruce Anthony: I ain’t never seen it.

Bruce Anthony: [00:54:00] is the argument that we had off air about a a fast. No. To a slow. Yes.

Bruce Anthony: I’d rather have a fast. No. And he was like, that’s still a no. I was like, I’d rather

Bruce Anthony: No. Than have to wait all day for my Yes. And he was like, that’s

Bruce Anthony: yeah, well look.

Bruce Anthony: yes, then it might be a yes. That’s a no. What I mean by that is the time may have passed where I needed the answer. So gimme the slow. No. Instead of the, uh, gimme the fast. No. Instead of the slow. Yes. Either

Bruce Anthony: No. Or a fast. Yes. Don’t gimme no slow. No. If you give a

Bruce Anthony: we gotta fight.

Bruce Anthony: that no was a solid. No. You knew it was gonna always be a no. And I, now

Bruce Anthony: the answer before you even asked the question.

Bruce Anthony: Well, this next expression I use every time I’m seasoning my food.

Bruce Anthony: When somebody says, oh, how much do you put in and put in there until the ancestors tell me to stop.

Bruce Anthony: directions for when I cook. I make

Bruce Anthony: week and every week.

Bruce Anthony: Seasonings just be different,

Bruce Anthony: what it’s going to be

Bruce Anthony: and

Bruce Anthony: to add a little bit more. And what if is

Bruce Anthony: in,

[00:56:00] The devil trying to keep me from eating good. That’s all right. Add some, add some chicken stock to it and thin that out. Thin that song out

Bruce Anthony: so you gonna add more sodium to thin the salt out. Huh? That

Bruce Anthony: you gonna dilute the salt with more salt.

Bruce Anthony: sodium

Bruce Anthony: considering the fact that you make such good mac and cheese. You know, the expression that I really hate when somebody asking me for anything

Bruce Anthony: me get a taste or a sip,

Bruce Anthony: variety of different quantities

Bruce Anthony: [00:57:00] do you consider a sip? What do you consider a, a taste?

You still got four more? That’s I. That’s not the point.

Bruce Anthony: That voice. I know who that voice is. You didn’t hide that at all. I know exactly who that.

No, eat this little piece. I cut it off for you. You could have this.

Bruce Anthony: You know, and I, I, this is the reason why I don’t allow anybody to taste my drink,

Bruce Anthony: one time, more than one time, somebody asked me for a sip

Bruce Anthony: and they give it back to me. And it was like, Ooh, that’s good. And I said, yeah, it’d been great if I could have had some of it too, since you done

Bruce Anthony: damn thing.

Bruce Anthony: A

Bruce Anthony: barely, you barely touch. You just get

Bruce Anthony: [00:59:00] gotta take, if after you take a sip, you gotta do one of these, then

Bruce Anthony: a sip.

Bruce Anthony: You took a whole ass goat, which happens to

Bruce Anthony: suppression, uh,

Bruce Anthony: Whole ass. Whole ass.

Bruce Anthony: A a, a woman could be telling the story about her man’s best friend

Bruce Anthony: she saw him in the club another woman and he got a whole ass girlfriend at home,

Bruce Anthony: he outside in the streets and he got a whole ass baby at home.

A whole, I mean, it’s a whole, it is, it is

Bruce Anthony: of a

I’m stressing the intensity of that, so when I say, you got a whole baby. Yeah, that’s, it is surprising and I need. You to understand that I’m stressing the fact that I’m, I’m shocked by this, but it’s it, yeah. But yeah, we’re not talking about an actual, like, unit of measurement. Like there could possibly be a half or a quarter, right?

No, no, no, no. That’s not what a whole means, but, yeah. Well, you got a, well, you got a, a whole lot of, a whole lot of something, or a whole ass something, and

Bruce Anthony: job.

Bruce Anthony: All right. Now this, the next two. I’m gonna bunch together in a story.

Bruce Anthony: I know this young lady, her name happens to be Becky.

Bruce Anthony: Becky. And she said

Bruce Anthony: use her name.

Bruce Anthony: this early. She said I could use her name.

Bruce Anthony: is exactly who you think she is with the name

Bruce Anthony: telling me the story that after every conversation would say, all right, bet. And she was like, bet what?

Bruce Anthony: And she finally, she just asked him, what do you mean bet? Like, what are we betting? He’s like, no, that’s just an expression. Like, alright, bet. Like, I got you.

Bruce Anthony: Oh, I didn’t know that. Another story she told me, one of her friends, of Becky’s friends

Bruce Anthony: said, uh, they got into, not a disagreement, but a, a debate about something.

Bruce Anthony: And her friends said, oh, don’t worry, I got

Bruce Anthony: receipts.

Bruce Anthony: was like, what do you mean receipts from what we didn’t buy?

[01:02:00] Nothing. She was telling other people that she was gonna meet up with a friend that said, had had receipts and she was like, I guess she’s gonna have a bag of receipts to show me. Because

Bruce Anthony: yeah, she thought it was little receipts.

Bruce Anthony: when you told me that, I was like, what?

You don’t know what I bet is in receipts? I was like, you can’t date no black man and not know what I bet that’s like

Bruce Anthony: that’s is my sign off for almost everything. I

Bruce Anthony: not.

Bruce Anthony: got it.

Bruce Anthony: check, read. I understand.

Bruce Anthony: bet. That’s, you could just use that expression and it covers

Bruce Anthony: that means that in the disagreement that we have, I got proof that’s going to back up what I’m saying.

Bruce Anthony: Oh. Yep. it

Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: are. That’s what

Bruce Anthony: bet they just

Bruce Anthony: It’s just confirmation.

Bruce Anthony: Ooh, ooh. Or, alright, bet could be like, all right, we about to get into some other stuff. Alright. Bet. It could be a disagreement as well.

Bruce Anthony: if you getting into it and be like, all

Bruce Anthony: I, we gonna talk about it when I see you. It, it can, it

Bruce Anthony: that too. Uh uh uh,

Bruce Anthony: basically it’s not putting a wager on something.

Bruce Anthony: be gambling with your life.

Bruce Anthony: And this is important

Bruce Anthony: ‘cause when we were kids, our parents would say, Hey, come on, come on, come with me. Where are we going? We just gonna make a couple of stops.

Bruce Anthony: And a couple

Bruce Anthony: that you gone for all your life

Bruce Anthony: going and a couple of stops is not a couple, it’s not a couple is actually two.

Bruce Anthony: There’s three or more

Bruce Anthony: is a lot, right? But,

Bruce Anthony: ever says several stops there.

Bruce Anthony: say a couple of stops, but

Bruce Anthony: several.

Bruce Anthony: [01:05:00] Let me, let me get, let me get

Bruce Anthony: How much you need? Just a couple dollars,

Okay.

Bruce Anthony: Just a couple of minutes.

Bruce Anthony: minutes away. Unless you

Bruce Anthony: corner

Bruce Anthony: right around the corner. But no, you hear then.

Bruce Anthony: Okay. I guess 20 minutes. Could be a couple minutes. Well, actually, I.

Bruce Anthony: You could be a couple hours away and still say a couple minutes.

Bruce Anthony: a couple hours away? You a grip?

Bruce Anthony: What? No, a whole ass ways away is multiple hours. Like I’m a

Bruce Anthony: ways away from driving to you.

Bruce Anthony: I’m not a couple hours, but if I was in Greenville, I would literally be a couple hours.

Bruce Anthony: But that’s still

Bruce Anthony: a little minute.

Bruce Anthony: I, I would say it’s gonna take me a little minute.

Bruce Anthony: like that. That ain’t, that ain’t that bad. Right?

Bruce Anthony: We ain’t gonna dig that much into it, but ain’t that

Bruce Anthony: means that we can, we might be able to do

Yeah, it was, it’s teetering on being bad, but it’s not that bad. It’s within my expectation,

Bruce Anthony: So, ladies and gentlemen, that’s just another episode of us giving you a a, a lesson on a a VE. That’s

Bruce Anthony: American vernacular English, right? That’s what it

Bruce Anthony: is. when a black person tells you these things, there’s, there’s a whole, well, there isn’t a, there isn’t a literal dictionary, but you can find it.

Google will tell you what these expressions actually

Bruce Anthony: date?

Bruce Anthony: I, these young kids be saying hip hop words now. I don’t know.

Bruce Anthony: Well look, this show is starting to run long ‘cause we’ve been

Bruce Anthony: the whole show. What do you wanna lead the people with? I.

Bruce Anthony: Okay, I’m listening.

If someone you can contact without fail in an emergency. Okay? If your emergency contact is someone that you ain’t even to

[01:09:00] in a minute, of course, being a relative black unit of measurement,

you might wanna reevaluate who you’ve picked as your emergency contact

Bruce Anthony: I loosen my breath. Oh, oh, on that note, ladies, gentlemen, I try to catch my breath from my idiot sister throwing our mom underneath the bus. Mama, I love you. I wanna thank

Bruce Anthony: I want to thank you for watching, until next time, as always, I’ll holler.

Bruce Anthony: to do something ‘cause I turned it on.

Bruce Anthony: Any who doesn’t

Bruce Anthony: Any who? Oh, and I got a funny story. Yeah. When we get to Black Expressions, I got a funny story. Okay. All you ready? Yes. We’re gonna keep it nice and light, nice and easy. We had to do no major research, no major, you know, get all you know, that’s, that’s.

[01:10:00] That could be a bit much. Sometimes. Lemme turn you up ‘cause you ain’t loud enough. All right. Lemme make sure I’m in the center. Shit. Am I in the center? Yeah. Yeah, I’m in the center. Shit. Shit, shit. All right. Ready? Hot takes and cold truths. And also what does certain things mean? We go get into it. Let’s get it.

That was not the intro that I came up with literally five minutes ago. Cold.

Bruce Anthony: Oh. Oh. Hold up.

Bruce Anthony: We turned it down. How do I turn it down? Shit, well see, this is the thing that be pissing me off, right? Like. I ain’t changed the mic. Why does the system just be like, Hey, I’m gonna fuck with your recording today,

Bruce Anthony: Yep. Microphone is some or some reason that. Damn. 100%. I didn’t turn it up that loud. The computer just said that we going to do this today.

Bruce Anthony: [01:11:00] Yeah. All right. Yeah. Okay, well that’s good that you told me that now. Okay. Alright, well let’s get this damn show on the road. What did I say earlier? It was good. Hot takes old truths. Damnit, I should really write this shit down hot takes. Cold truths. What does it all mean? We gonna get into it.

I’ll just go with that all. You ready? Mm-hmm. Dear. That was such a silly segment. I don’t care. You know. Well that’s what people come just hear us banter talk bullshit. Yeah. Whatever.

Bruce Anthony: And what’s my favorite word, bitch. Why do you wanna say it like short? Alright. You ready? I was

Actually, no,

Bruce Anthony: blow the whistle is, is was my favorite two short song.

Bruce Anthony: day. It might be my favorite kind of like. It’s a it. Before it was twerking, it was pee popping, but twerking. It might be my favorite twerking song. I know everybody gonna say back that ass up, but.

Blow the whistle made me be like, mm, mm-hmm mm. I don’t literally be twerking, but you know what I mean?

Bruce Anthony: [01:12:00] body moving. Absolutely. Alright, that’s enough of the behind the scenes. Let’s get to the next segment. Alright. I don’t know how the show is going, but it’s going,

I.

Bruce Anthony: Was it?

Bruce Anthony: middle segments are typically the longest. They’re typically around 25, 30 minutes. So that, that works. ‘cause the last, this last segments are always shorter. Yeah. Alright. You ready? Yeah. All right.

Well, people either going like that show or not like it, eh? Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: We do. I don’t know. You know how I feel after every show? I always think every show. You

And I,

Bruce Anthony: [01:13:00] this is the reason why I say this is because I was listening to a part. I was listening to a YouTube. Video earlier just popped up and it was a podcast and they were talking about, it was two younger generation people and probably somebody that was closer to our age and the younger generation people were talking about how.

They were responding back to a TikTok of a woman that, that says she did PR for clubs and everything, and was just like nobody is really trying to get tables anymore. It’s not that big of a thing. There’s nothing special about it. The tables are always like crowded because of how things like there’s, and nobody’s dancing.

Nobody’s dancing anymore. And then the young people were like, yeah, back in 2019 I, everything was lit, but now everything is like slowed down. I was like 2019. And then I had to think of it in my old ass terms for them. Somebody who was 25, 26, 27 years old, six years.

Bruce Anthony: a long time. It was a long time for me.

Yeah. I felt like it was just 2019, just the other day.

Bruce Anthony: [01:14:00] kids are not thinking of it as lost time. They just go back to, yeah, back then And I’m like, back then. Yeah. Back then they didn’t know me. Now I’m hot. They all on me. Yeah, and, and so the older person was saying that’s around our age was like, Hey, did you guys grow up with like school dances and stuff like that?

And they were like, yeah, yeah, we had that. And it was like, okay, well I know for our generation we might, we don’t really go out to clubs anymore, but if we go to like a lounge or a house party and somebody starts throwing on old nineties music, then. Everybody started getting up and start dancing. Yeah.

‘cause that’s the type of music that you dance to. And they were like, yeah, people don’t make music to dance anymore. And I, and I thought about

Bruce Anthony: One of my, this woman I used to date, her son is, is rapping now. She sent me a couple of his clips and he, he, he got some bars. He got some bars, yeah.

But his songs are like two minutes with no, no hook. Yeah. No, it has a hook. No course. Right. So it, it’ll have hook and he’ll repeat the hook, but No course. Yeah. And it’s two minutes and I’m like. You can’t dance to this. You could just kind of nod your bop Yeah. Bop your head to it. Yeah. And I was like, oh wait, nobody’s making dance music like that.

Chris Brown might be the only one.

Bruce Anthony: they were saying. Everything is a TikTok dance now, and

Bruce Anthony: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: know what I’m saying? Well, we had dance moves that you could throw in secession. You could do a running man to a Roger Rabbit, to a cabbage pack, to like, but they weren’t, it was free.

It was freestyle dancing. It’s

Bruce Anthony: the choreography and these TikTok dances. I’d be watching them and I’m like, I don’t know how you got the time to learn that shit. Do kids not have limbs anymore?

[01:16:00] And I’m like, I’m not learning choreography. I learned dance steps. I. Like a a, a dance, like, like you said, like the running man, like, or lean with a rock

Bruce Anthony: with it, you know, we know that Yeah.

Yes. Now it’s like, no, this is the dance for this song. This is the dance for this song. Like you, you can’t just freestyle. Nah, ain’t nobody trying to do, plus these kids dance too. Well these days. Like you can’t just do your little two step your little rock and think you’re gonna be okay. ‘cause everybody will be like.

Uh, 5, 6, 7, 8. And they,

Bruce Anthony: what do you know? They acting like it’s faint. Another thing that they, that the young people said is everybody’s the same, right? Everybody dresses the same, acts the same. And I was like, well, that’s every generation. We all kind of, yeah,

Bruce Anthony: but, but that business casual had variety of different looks.

[01:17:00] Now they were like, everybody’s wearing either. Do Dior shoes. I don’t know what young people be wearing. I don’t wear ‘em. It’s too, it’s too fucking expensive for me. Yeah. If I can’t get it off of Amazon, I’ll make something from Amazon. I look real nice.

So I I, I was like, okay, I gotta go into the office more. I need to go get some slacks. Okay. There was a Old Navy not far from my office. I’m thinking I could get something affordable in there. It’s Old Navy for. $45 a pair. Well,

Bruce Anthony: they normally got coupons that’s like $18 off here, $29.

You think work pants was on sale? No, but she had a little coupon at the, because I said something, I said, $45 per pair. I was like, you ain’t got no. She was like, are you a, do you wanna put your number in? Are you a a rewards customer? I said, do we get me a discount? And so she had a little coupon up there.

[01:18:00] She scanned it, got ‘em down to $30 a pair. But I was like, listen, if I gotta pay more than $15 for an article of clothing, I ain’t gonna have Well,

Bruce Anthony: that, that’s only women can only pay $15 for article of clothing for fast fashion men still. Yeah, we still gotta pay.

I distinctly remember Old Navy being like $20 and under Old Navy could get expensive. That’s insane to me. Yeah. Those, that’s gap prices.

Bruce Anthony: Well, they’re the same company.

I’m not

Bruce Anthony: going, I’m doing, I have been, I couldn’t fit those clothes anyway, and I never, yeah. Like I used to go to Old Navy to get those like graphic tees. ‘cause I was like, oh, I can go get some graphic tees, but they didn’t fit my body right.

Bruce Anthony: I was like, okay, I’m a double X only ‘cause my shoulders and chest, but it’d be all baggy in the middle and it’d be looking like I’m big just ‘cause it’s all baggy.

[01:19:00] Yeah. And I was like, I’m gonna get them form from the shirts off of Amazon to fit my body. ‘cause I can get them. I. Affordable on Amazon, whereas I go anywhere else, it’s like $90 a shirt. ‘cause I tried to go to, um, yeah. Was it limited one time? Was it limited or express? One of them. One of them stores. Yeah.

Of where even the triple, triple X ain’t big enough.

Bruce Anthony: And you like she, she is coming from overseas and they fit me better than this

Bruce Anthony: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: I need to get a new summer wardrobe, but I need to get this weight off first and I need to stop eating.

Bruce Anthony: it’s chips
