Introduction to Would You Rather
Speaker 1Hi , I'm Melody and I'm Kandi , and you're listening to Quirks , Bumps and Bruises . So on this edition of Quirks , Bumps and Bruises , Kandi and I absolutely love the game . Would you Rather ? Because , first of all , it's fun . Second of all , it makes you think .
Speaker 2Because both questions of would you rather , are pretty equal and horrible .
Speaker 1That'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 the time ? Cold all the time ? I could have guessed that for you . How about you ? I may ? Would say hot , yeah , because when you're cold it's just to the bone . But when you're hot , you're hot . That's what they usually say about me . When you're not , you're not . So this is a fun one for you , especially , candy . Would you rather not be able to stop dancing , or not ?
Speaker 2stop singing , dancing , because I would lose so much weight .
Speaker 1But the singing part of it . You know , we just have a song in our heart all the time , candy , we do All right , this is going to put the test to you right here , candy . Would you rather be poor , with a lot of great , great friends , or rich and have no friends ?
Speaker 2How poor are we talking ?
Speaker 1I don't know , but you've got a lot of friends around you , but you just don't have any money . Are they poor Candy ? Answer the question .
Hot, Cold and Dancing Questions
Speaker 2I don't have any money . Are they poor ? I can't answer the question , I don't know . I mean , I I don't want to be poor . But okay , melody , would you rather have constant dry eyes or a constant runny nose ?
Speaker 1well , I already have constant dry eyes , so there you go with that .
Speaker 2Would you rather have super sensitive taste or super sensitive hearing ?
Speaker 1Oh , taste . That means that I could just taste lots of great stuff , right , look at me . I think you know the answer to that question .
Speaker 2Would you rather never lose your phone again , or never lose your keys again ?
Speaker 1Oh , I don't want to lose my keys , because then I can't go anywhere . Can ?
Speaker 2we almost drive with our phones . Now , I mean , really , you're probably gonna be able to start your car and drive it with your phone sometimes I want my phone to be lost forever .
Speaker 1Amen , you know what I'm saying . So , yes , so , candy , would you rather have a song of your choice play repeatedly 24 hours a day , but it's your choice of the song . Or have songs that you have no control over play 24 hours a day , but it's your choice of the song . Or have songs that you have no control over play 24 hours a day ? Number one , so you would like to have just one song , if I could choose it , and what ?
Speaker 2would that redeem legacy five just over and over 24 hours a day ?
Speaker 1I just don't think I could deal with that . But you never know what you're gonna get now , I know , but
Money, Friends and Sensory Preferences
Speaker 1variety is the spice of life . So , candy , would you rather be completely alone for five years ? No , I don't know . You better think about that . It sounds good sometimes . Or constantly be surrounded by people and never alone for five years . You have somebody around you constantly . For five years , for the next five years years , there's somebody attached to you , I think .
Speaker 2I'd have to do that . I'm not a loner . I don't work well by myself .
Speaker 1I 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 , would you rather lose all of your money and valuables , or all the pictures that you've ever ?
Speaker 1taken Money and valuables . I don't want to lose my pictures . Yeah , I have a plan . If there's ever a fire or anything , I know like what I'm grabbing . I mean I know because , look back , I'm older , so I still have photo albums . It isn't like I can go to my computer and find them all day , although for the last what 10 years I've got tons of pictures . Oh right , but I had photo albums of my kids when they and I haven't put them digitally on anything . You need to do it , I do need to do it , but as for now , if there's a fire , I'm grabbing my pictures before I grab my husband . I'm just saying so , candy , would you rather eat your favorite meal for
Life Choices: Death and Aging
Speaker 1every meal ? Okay , let me , let me do it this way . What's your favorite meal ? If you could choose a favorite meal right now , what would it be good , a really good spaghetti , okay . So would you rather eat spaghetti every single meal breakfast , lunch and dinner for the rest of your life , or never be able to eat it again for as long as you live ?
Speaker 2I'm gonna get tired of it , so I'm gonna have to go with , never eat it again .
Speaker 1I would do that too , like I love shrimp and pasta probably my favorite meal , right man but I don't want to eat that every day .
Speaker 2Three meals no would you rather be locked in a room for a week that is constantly dark or a room for a week that is constantly bright ?
Speaker 1I don't like the dark . Yeah , the dark is dark , can't see the spiders . But the light you're not going to be able to sleep . I would still say light , definitely light . Okay .
Speaker 2Would you rather know when you're going to die oh my goodness . Or would you rather know how you're going to die ? Oh my goodness .
Speaker 1Okay , rather know how you're gonna die , oh my goodness . Okay , let's talk through this . So would you rather know when the like the exact day ? Yeah , you would know like you're going , I don't want to know that .
Speaker 2Or , but would you rather know how you're going to die ?
Speaker 1I think if I had to choose , I would like to know how . Really , yeah , I mean because if you know the exact day , like what if it's next tuesday ?
Speaker 2and what if it's in like 60 years ?
Speaker 1you 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 always talking about getting older and stuff like that . So would you rather wake up with wrinkles that straighten out throughout the day , kind of like the wrinkles on my CPAP they straighten out throughout the day , yeah . Or would you rather wake up with really good skin that gets wrinkly as the day goes on ? So either you wake up with wrinkles and they get better throughout the day , or you wake up with great skin and the wrinkles get worse throughout the day I think I would like to wake up with really good skin and then just be in by the time my wrinkles set in I knew you were gonna say that yeah , I know you so well that I knew that was gonna be your reasoning .
Speaker 2I knew that like cinderella had to be a certain time before you know . Turn back into a pumpkin .
Speaker 1Would you rather never have to get a haircut again or never have to do laundry again , because your clothes are always clean , no matter laundry ? Well , you have a thing about laundry anyway , y'all , I know . Let's just do a little time out . Let's just do a little side rabbit trail right here . So candy loves to do laundry and I have been on vacations with candy . I have been on vacations with Candy . I have been on work trips with Candy . And when you go on these trips with Candy , I don't care if you're at a hotel , on a cruise ship or at a theme park . She is going to find where the laundromat is before she goes and does anything . Or you got to have clean clothes . I've never seen anything like it , I know .
Speaker 2I have a problem .
Speaker 1So , kendi , would you rather
Sing on a Star and Final Thoughts
Speaker 1receive $100,000 today ? Yes , yes , I don't know , you may like this alternative , okay , or $1 million 10 years from now . So $100,000 right now in your pocket , 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 . It's going to cost about a million dollars for your child to go to college in 10 years .
Speaker 2We'll say the 10 million , 10 years .
Speaker 1Okay , this is a great one and we can like spend a little time talking about this . Would you rather be able to fast forward your life or rewind it ? Rewind it Totally . What would you do ? I would say rewind it because I'd like to do some things differently , but if I fast forward , it .
Speaker 2I'm going to be in heaven Because I'm very close . How fast will you ?
Speaker 1forward it . So I do love these would you rathers . But every time I hear the would you 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 2Would you rather be a mule ? So many questions .
Speaker 1What was that ? That is an old Bing Crosby song , really . So every time I hear would you rather ? Because it has the would you rather at the end , I think about that . But I would say , if you need something fun to do at a party , you learn about people that way and it's so much fun .
Speaker 2It is always fun . It takes the awkward out of any event . If you're just sitting there , nobody's talking . Yeah , you know what ?
Speaker 1Just bring out a would you rather question , and then you can decide do I really want this person as as a friend or not ?
Speaker 2by their answer . You'll always know .
