absolutely love the game.
Would you Rather?
Because, first of all, it's fun.
Second of all, it makes youthink.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Because both questions of would you rather,
are pretty equal and horrible.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
That's a great way to put it, yes.
So I'm going to ask you one,candy Would you rather it be hot
all the time or cold all thetime?
Cold all the time?
I could have guessed that foryou.
How about you?
I may?
Would say hot, yeah, becausewhen you're cold it's just to
the bone.
But when you're hot, you're hot.
That's what they usually sayabout me.
When you're not, you're not.
(00:46):
So this is a fun one for you,especially, candy.
Would you rather not be able tostop dancing, or not?
Speaker 2 (00:52):
stop singing, dancing , because I would lose so much
weight.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
But the singing part of it.
You know, we just have a songin our heart all the time, candy
, we do All right, this is goingto put the test to you right
here, candy.
Would you rather be poor, witha lot of great, great friends,
or rich and have no friends?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
How poor are we talking?
Speaker 1 (01:17):
I don't know, but you've got a lot of friends
around you, but you just don'thave any money.
Are they poor Candy?
Answer the question.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
I don't have any money.
Are they poor?
I can't answer the question, Idon't know.
I mean, I I don't want to bepoor.
But okay, melody, would yourather have constant dry eyes or
a constant runny nose?
Speaker 1 (01:37):
well, I already have constant dry eyes, so there you
go with that.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Would you rather have super sensitive taste or super
sensitive hearing?
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Oh, taste.
That means that I could justtaste lots of great stuff, right
, look at me.
I think you know the answer tothat question.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Would you rather never lose your phone again, or
never lose your keys again?
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Oh, I don't want to lose my keys, because then I
can't go anywhere.
Can?
Speaker 2 (02:08):
we almost drive with our phones.
Now, I mean, really, you'reprobably gonna be able to start
your car and drive it with yourphone sometimes I want my phone
to be lost forever.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Amen, you know what I'm saying.
So, yes, so, candy, would yourather have a song of your
choice play repeatedly 24 hoursa day, but it's your choice of
the song.
Or have songs that you have nocontrol over play 24 hours a day
, but it's your choice of thesong.
Or have songs that you have nocontrol over play 24 hours a day
?
Number one, so you would liketo have just one song, if I
could choose it, and what?
Speaker 2 (02:33):
would that redeem legacy five just over and over
24 hours a day?
Speaker 1 (02:37):
I just don't think I could deal with that.
But you never know what you'regonna get now, I know, but
variety is the spice of life.
So, candy, would you rather becompletely alone for five years?
No, I don't know.
You better think about that.
It sounds good sometimes.
Or constantly be surrounded bypeople and never alone for five
(02:58):
years.
You have somebody around youconstantly.
For five years, for the nextfive years years, there's
somebody attached to you, Ithink.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
I'd have to do that.
I'm not a loner.
I don't work well by myself.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
I believe I'd do the alone thing, would you?
And I'm a people person, I know, but here lately, the peopling
I'm about out of peopling, wouldyou rather lose all of your
money and valuables, or all thepictures that you've ever?
taken Money and valuables.
I don't want to lose mypictures.
Yeah, I have a plan.
(03:31):
If there's ever a fire oranything, I know like what I'm
grabbing.
I mean I know because, lookback, I'm older, so I still have
photo albums.
It isn't like I can go to mycomputer and find them all day,
although for the last what 10years I've got tons of pictures.
Oh right, but I had photoalbums of my kids when they and
I haven't put them digitally onanything.
(03:53):
You need to do it, I do need todo it, but as for now, if
there's a fire, I'm grabbing mypictures before I grab my
husband.
I'm just saying so, candy,would you rather eat your
favorite meal for every meal?
Okay, let me, let me do it thisway.
What's your favorite meal?
If you could choose a favoritemeal right now, what would it be
good, a really good spaghetti,okay.
(04:13):
So would you rather eatspaghetti every single meal
breakfast, lunch and dinner forthe rest of your life, or never
be able to eat it again for aslong as you live?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
I'm gonna get tired of it, so I'm gonna have to go
with, never eat it again.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
I would do that too, like I love shrimp and pasta
probably my favorite meal, rightman but I don't want to eat
that every day.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Three meals no would you rather be locked in a room
for a week that is constantlydark or a room for a week that
is constantly bright?
Speaker 1 (04:45):
I don't like the dark .
Yeah, the dark is dark, can'tsee the spiders.
But the light you're not goingto be able to sleep.
I would still say light,definitely light.
Okay.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Would you rather know when you're going to die oh my
goodness.
Or would you rather know howyou're going to die?
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Okay, rather know how you're gonna die, oh my
goodness.
Okay, let's talk through this.
So would you rather know whenthe like the exact day?
Yeah, you would know likeyou're going, I don't want to
know that.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Or, but would you rather know how you're going to
die?
Speaker 1 (05:16):
I think if I had to choose, I would like to know how
.
Really, yeah, I mean because ifyou know the exact day, like
what if it's next tuesday?
Speaker 2 (05:26):
and what if it's in like 60 years?
Speaker 1 (05:27):
you know, I'm ready to see jesus and I this world
yeah, I think I would read yeah,the second one for sure.
So, candy, you are alwaystalking about getting older and
stuff like that.
So would you rather wake upwith wrinkles that straighten
out throughout the day, kind oflike the wrinkles on my CPAP
(05:48):
they straighten out throughoutthe day, yeah.
Or would you rather wake upwith really good skin that gets
wrinkly as the day goes on?
So either you wake up withwrinkles and they get better
throughout the day, or you wakeup with great skin and the
wrinkles get worse throughoutthe day I think I would like to
wake up with really good skinand then just be in by the time
(06:10):
my wrinkles set in I knew youwere gonna say that yeah, I know
you so well that I knew thatwas gonna be your reasoning.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
I knew that like cinderella had to be a certain
time before you know.
Turn back into a pumpkin.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Would you rather never have to get a haircut
again or never have to dolaundry again, because your
clothes are always clean, nomatter laundry?
Well, you have a thing aboutlaundry anyway, y'all, I know.
Let's just do a little time out.
Let's just do a little siderabbit trail right here.
So candy loves to do laundryand I have been on vacations
(06:42):
with candy.
I have been on vacations withCandy.
I have been on work trips withCandy.
And when you go on these tripswith Candy, I don't care if
you're at a hotel, on a cruiseship or at a theme park.
She is going to find where thelaundromat is before she goes
and does anything.
Or you got to have cleanclothes.
I've never seen anything likeit, I know.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I have a problem.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
So, kendi, would you rather receive $100,000 today?
Yes, yes, I don't know, you maylike this alternative, okay, or
$1 million 10 years from now.
So $100,000 right now in yourpocket, or in 10 years you're
going to get a million.
You better say the second,because you've got a child going
to college.
(07:23):
It's going to cost about amillion dollars for your child
to go to college in 10 years.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
We'll say the 10 million, 10 years.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Okay, this is a great one and we can like spend a
little time talking about this.
Would you rather be able tofast forward your life or rewind
it?
Rewind it Totally.
What would you do?
I would say rewind it becauseI'd like to do some things
differently, but if I fastforward, it.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
I'm going to be in heaven Because I'm very close.
How fast will you?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
forward it.
So I do love these would yourathers.
But every time I hear the wouldyou rather, I think about Would
you like to swing on a star,carry moonbeams home in a jar
and be better off than you are?
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Would you rather be a mule?
So many questions.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
What was that?
That is an old Bing Crosby song, really.
So every time I hear would yourather?
Because it has the would yourather at the end, I think about
that.
But I would say, if you needsomething fun to do at a party,
you learn about people that wayand it's so much fun.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
It is always fun.
It takes the awkward out of anyevent.
If you're just sitting there,nobody's talking.
Yeah, you know what?
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Just bring out a would you rather question, and
then you can decide do I reallywant this person as as a friend
or not?
