Enjoy This Throwback Episode: Ladies Team of Joy FM

Get ready to play the ultimate game of "What Would You Choose?" with your favorite Joy FM women's crew, as we tackle a question that's as revealing as it is fun. Imagine a world where either daily massages, house cleaning services, free gas, or an endless supply of makeup come at zero cost to you for the rest of your days. Melody and Candi stir the pot and watch the sparks fly as Robin, Wendy, Shelly, Trish, and Donna jump in, each revealing their choice and the delightfully quirky logic behind it.

Prepare for laughter, surprises, and maybe a touch of envy, as each pick unveils a treasure trove about who we are and what we hold dear. Discover why an ex-cosmetologist might skip the allure of free makeup, or how practicality can overrule the temptation of luxurious pampering. It's not just a peek into our personal preferences—it's a rollicking ride through the diverse perspectives of women who make life's daily grind a little less mundane and a lot more entertaining. Join us, and you might just find yourself pondering, "What would I choose?"

0:00:00 - Melody

Hi, I'm Melody and I'm Candi, and you're listening to Quirks, Bumps, and Bruises. Well, good morning, it's Melody, Candi. Right here on the Morning Joyride and we brought the Joy FM women all together. They're all in here. 

Every single one of them. We have Robin, we have Wendy, we have Shelly, we have Trish, we have Donna, and so we recently did a podcast where we talked about this very thing. But we thought it would be fun to ask y'all this question, so we're going to ask it. There are four different things you can choose from, but you can only choose one. So I'm going to let Candi give you those four things. But here is the question If you could have one of these four things free for the rest of your life, which would you choose? 

0:00:46 - Candi

So I'm going to ask Robin first. You have to answer first. Number one is a massage. A free massage every day for the rest of your life. Every woman in here just went and raised their hands. But there's more. But there is more, yeah, because I feel like they just get better as it goes. But cleaning services for your home? Right, right, free gas for life. See, y'all said that was my choice Free gas because gas always goes up. So I mean we're going to be paying like $20 a gallon in a few years, and mine was house cleaning. 

0:01:24 - Melody

I could care less about the gas. Clean my house. 

0:01:26 - Candi

Okay. So massage, cleaning, free gasoline or free makeup? 

0:01:32 - Robin

Robin, you got to go and tell us why Can I give you my like top two? No, just one. You know what? Then I am going to have to say cleaning as well, because if somebody else was cleaning my home for me, then I wouldn't need the massage, I wouldn't be stressed and tired and hurting. So you know, I might save myself by having someone else do my cleaning for me. 

0:01:58 - Melody

All right. So, Wendy, we're going to ask you the same question. 

0:02:01 - Wendy

I'm going to with the massage, because I love massages and if you get one every day, I'd be okay with cleaning my house and the gas I mean the massage is going to cost more than a gas, so I'm good. 

0:02:16 - Melody

I think you just said the exact opposite of what Robin said.

0:02:23 - Robin

You know what, though I get her point. Maybe the massage is the better deal. 

0:02:29 - Shelly

All right, shelly, it's your turn. Well, I would say the cleaning. But my concern is is they may not clean like how I'd want to, so then I just have to go back behind them and do it again. So that would be pointless. And I do love a really good massage. But let's be honest, y'all gas, it ain't cheap, and so I'm thinking that the money that I could save on the gas I could use towards a massage. So I'm going with gas. 

0:02:55 - Candi

Y'all. I think men really are right when they talk about us Like we, honestly, can never really be satisfied, true that? 

0:03:01 - Melody

True, that's a whole nother podcast. Be satisfied, true that, true, that's a whole nother podcast. So we're going to move to Trish. Well, can I just? 

0:03:09 - Robin

say that real quick. About the gas thing, remember she said massage every day, you ain't going to get gas in your car every day. 

0:03:19 - Melody

As much as I drive to work possibly. 

0:03:25 - Trish

Well, as I'm sitting here, Candi is looking across the desk at me saying I know what you're going to pick and I already know she's thinking I'm going to pick makeup because I'm the makeup girl, I am the ex-cosmetologist here, I do all the things, but you know what? My makeup lasts me forever and I don't spend a lot of money on makeup. I don't buy expensive makeup. It looks like it's expensive but it is not. I just know the tricks of the game and I think about cleaning my house, and I'm with Shelly I'm picky with how my house is cleaned, so I will go back behind. I have to go behind my husband and my kids as it is, so that's just too much time and the gas that comes out of my husband's wallet, not mine. So I'm going to go with the massage, because a happy wife is a happy life, and self-care is important to me. Well, donna, I don't know if you can top that, but you can try. 

0:04:19 - Donna

No, I can't. I think for me it has to be the cleaning. I just I don't know it. Just that seems like the. I can have the massage. I'll be willing to pay for that. If somebody would come and clean my house. The house could take hours sometimes. 

0:04:41 - Melody

And see, I agree with that. I mean having my house. My love language is acts of service. So when my husband vacuums or empties the dishwasher, that's it Like that is my love language. Forget flowers, forget gifts, forget words of affirmation. Honey, you're so beautiful, but you empty the dishwasher or vacuum or dust for me. Take the trash out, I'm all about it. So definitely I get it. Dawn, I'm with you on that. So does anybody, now that you've thought through it and heard other people's answers, want to change your answer? Robin's debating. 

0:05:18 - Robin

I like what Wendy and Trish had to say about it, but you know, I think I want cleaning to win because the room was split 2-2-2 until Donna. So cleaning wins Again. Cleaning is a never-ending story, and so, Shelly, Trish, y'all care too much about cleaning. Like, let somebody else clean it and just be like I'm thankful I'm not having to do it. Well, I'm thankful. 

0:05:42 - Trish

I'm not having to do it. Well, I'm OCD and I will ask my children now to sweep the floor, vacuum the floor so I can mop. But if I see the one little piece of lint or dog hair on my floor, oh, I've got to revacuum it because I'm not mopping dog hair around my floor. 

0:05:59 - Melody

So that's another podcast too. So so far, Trish, you've got us now into two more podcasts that we can do after this one.
