Speaker 2:I met this chick last night.
Speaker 1:I didn't talk about Nintendo, joe G, I thought we would play a game called Would you Rather for men over 50. What do you say? Why not? Would you rather finally understand how to work the TV remote or remember why you walked into the room TV remote? Would you rather relive your 20s with all your current wisdom, or keep your 50s body but never have to pay taxes again? My 20s for sure. Oh, dude, I'll take 50s. I'm only 44, but I'll take this body any day and not have to pay taxes. And last question Would you rather become invisible when your wife asks for help cleaning or be able to instantly fix anything by yelling? I?

Speaker 2:Yeah, and he's a nut. We should keep his 50s body and have no taxes. He wasn't that fun in his 20s, I guarantee it.
Speaker 1:I mean I've seen pictures of him and I know he worked at Sears in the sports equipment area so I know he would bench press a lot, so I bet he did have a nice body. I've never had a nice body, so give me my 50s body, and I don't ever want to have to pay taxes again any day. Oh yeah exactly.

Actually, I can already nap anywhere instantly, so I would definitely like to be able to tell the best dad joke ever. And last question Would you rather your car play theme music when you roll through town, or wear a cape every Tuesday and never explain why?
Speaker 2:I think I'd rather wear a cape every Tuesday and not explain why.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, someone else would just say cuz, cuz and you know you don't have to worry about disturbing people, like if you're driving through town late at night, you don't have to worry about disturbing people, like if you're driving through town late at night, you don't have to worry about your theme music blaring.

Speaker 1:No, really, what's your guess? 20th letter of the alphabet starts its name Porterhouse, T-Bone, Filet Mignon Porterhouse. No, it is T-Bone, but you did beat him, Paul.
Speaker 3:Way to go, Paul.
Speaker 1:Sorry, mayor, you are not smarter than a redneck. All rise, it is now time for Am I the Jerk Court, the Honorable John Leach Jr.
Speaker 2:Mayor of.
Speaker 1:Show Low presides. Mayor, I'm going to read this story. This person's asking if they are a jerk in this situation, and then I want you to rule on the situation. You ready? I'm ready, all right, here we go. Am I the jerk for not letting my sister move in after she cheated on my male best friend? My sister, 22, was engaged to my male best friend 24. They've been together for four years and I was actually the one that introduced them. Last week he caught her cheating and it destroyed him completely and he kicked her out of their apartment immediately. Now she's homeless and asked to crash at my place until she figures things out. I told her no. She broke my best friend's heart, betrayed his trust and honestly, I just don't want her around right now.
Speaker 1:My parents and family are furious at me saying family should always come first, no matter what mistakes she made. I'm getting bombarded with angry messages calling me cold and selfish for choosing a friend over my own sister. I'm torn On one hand she's family, on the other she really hurts someone who means the world to me. Am I the jerk for not letting her stay with me? First mayor, rank my reading.
Speaker 3:Ah, great reading. You know what it's family, so yes, she is the jerk. She is the jerk but to be honest with you, she's got to learn too. So maybe kick her out for a couple days. But family's family you know it doesn't matter Family's family and you've got to get by it. But it's tough. I would definitely kick her out for a day or two and let her do something. And she's family. You've got to let her back in.
Speaker 1:You've got to let her back in, so she's being kind of a jerk. Obviously her sister was a big jerk, Right, right, right. But family's family and you got to let them in.
Speaker 3:Could you imagine kicking out your sister and knowing she's homeless? That was the part of your reading that she was homeless.
Speaker 1:Right, right, there's no way. But why doesn't she stay with the parents?
Speaker 3:That's true. There's other people, it's not just the sister Like come on Probably because the parents said that door only swings one way All right, all right.
Speaker 1:In the case of, am I the jerk for not letting my sister move in after she cheated on my best friend? The mayor rules. Yes, yes, you are the jerk. Family always comes first. Thank you, mayor.
