Ever catch yourself wondering would you rather do this....or THAT? This is the question today with different scenarios, but that's only after Jane gets past the alarming realization that her nose is getting bigger!!! 

So get ready! Jane's questions were so unsettling that even Bobbi and Dr. Domain found them repulsive - a perfect, if not disturbing, fit for the shows dark theme and makes everyone wonder: Are they even related?

The conversation swings from style signals (pajamas in public or never comb your hair) to relationship realities (bad in bed or bad credit), and then into brainy superpowers (x-ray vision versus speed-reading with photographic memory). When the trio tackle fluency in every human language versus the ability to talk to animals, the tradeoffs sharpen: connection, power, empathy, and the burden of knowing too much.

Yes, we venture into the gross-out gauntlet—airport handrails, discarded pads, and other nightmare fuel—but each scenario becomes a quick lesson in risk math, control, and the limits of disgust. We even test identity: would you rather be an unknown hero or a famous villain with a plan to break bad systems for good? The final curveball—lose your hearing or your right arm—grounds the banter in empathy, accessibility, and the ways we rebuild life after loss.

Come for the chaos; stay for the clarity. You’ll laugh, cringe, and probably yell your answers at the speakers. Then we want to hear from you: send your best Would You Rather—fun, gross, or wildly philosophical—to boomerandgenxer@gmail.com. If you enjoy the show, follow, rate, and share it with a friend who loves a good dilemma. Your pick: which line would you never cross?

SPEAKER_00

Welcome everyone to today's show. A boomer and a Gen X are walking to a bar, coming to you from the Rabbit Run studio, where you, as our listener, will experience some wit wisdom, some smart assary, and a mother and a daughter questioning, are we even related? My name is Bobby Joy, and my co-host is my mom Jane. And for the next little bit, we're here to entertain you today. How are you doing, mom?

Do Noses Really Get Bigger

SPEAKER_01

I think I'm doing okay, but you know what? I started noticing something recently. And I wonder if you guys have the same experience or if any of our listeners have this experience or not. It's really quite baffling, I must say. And it's really quite alarming to me. But I've noticed that my nose is getting bigger.

SPEAKER_00

Did you know that you can happen with age?

SPEAKER_01

So hello. So I'm like, well, from a baby maybe to an adult, but why is it growing now? I mean, I don't even get it. What's up with that?

SPEAKER_02

I think your ears, I think your ears grow too.

SPEAKER_01

I don't know about my ears. Don't really care about my ears. And you know, if Dr. Domain's grew a little bit, maybe he could hear me a little better, but I think that's just really selective right there. I don't think it has any. But what?

SPEAKER_02

What'd you say?

SPEAKER_01

What?

SPEAKER_02

Huh?

SPEAKER_01

What have you? I mean, Bobby, you know, it's not like you're a spring chicken either. Have you noticed that your nose is getting bigger? Have you noticed Dr. Domain?

SPEAKER_02

Have I noticed Bobby's nose getting bigger? No, I haven't.

SPEAKER_00

It's like her face. You know, I always got made fun of by my sibling um because she always said my nose was gigantic. So if it is growing.

SPEAKER_01

I don't think your nose is gigantic, but I have noticed and I thought, gosh, is what's going on here? So every morning I kind of do this massage, you know, yoga thing on my nose. I swear to God, I do.

SPEAKER_00

So it's like just let it happen.

SPEAKER_01

No, no. So it's it's like I do this massage thing where I'm trying to squeeze it back to not being wide. And so I had to look this up. Now, you're not gonna tell me some of our listeners haven't had the same, I mean, thought the same thing. Because the older we get, and I don't care if you're male or female, the older we get, our nose get our nose gets bigger.

SPEAKER_00

Well, I think that's why our eyesight goes bad too, so we don't notice that.

SPEAKER_02

It's all due to gravity.

SPEAKER_01

Well, you know what? You you're not a far off. You're not you're not a far off there, Mr. Mr. I think you're far a more shit.

SPEAKER_02

So it's I think we lived on the moon, you'd your ears would be fine and your nose would be just the way it was when you were.

SPEAKER_01

My nose would be up in the air. What?

SPEAKER_02

If you were on the moon, right? Well, no gravity the gravity.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh.

SPEAKER_00

Well, you know.

SPEAKER_01

Anyway, I had to look it up, and apparently your nose appears bigger because the cartilage inside your nose weakens. Now, my nose has been broken at least three times, and um, playing softball horses, you know, that sort of thing. And so it says the cartilage weakens and your skin loses elasticity because you know, you lose collagen over time. And gravity causes the tip to droop, making it look larger and more prominent rather than the nose actually growing larger after maturity. Now, there's some people who are who have conflicting information related to this because they're saying no, it really does grow because that cartilage gets thick and fat. And so it makes your nose grow fatter.

SPEAKER_00

Oh my god. Have you not noticed people? Are we going somewhere with this? Because like the way that I pressed my face against the window should counteract that. Oh my god, all the time.

SPEAKER_01

No, it was just very bothersome to me. And I thought I would bring it up today. Goodness sakes, can't I just mention something?

SPEAKER_02

Just fix it. Go become an astronaut or something.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, go see a surgeon, I guess. I don't know.

SPEAKER_00

Just tape it like, just tape it pig like every night with some scotch tape.

Setting Up Would You Rather

SPEAKER_01

Well, I don't think I want it pig like either. Okay, thank you very much. Um, so that made me also think about the topic for today, uh, which is kind of would you rather? So would you rather? So we're gonna give you some instances on would you rather? And I want our listeners to think about this too. And we want to hear from you because we want to know what your thoughts are on some things, and I have kind of a sick mind, and so does so does Bobby. And Dr. Domains is always very logical and weird. So uh I always said that the IT people and engineers are in a world all their own. So we'll see what he comes up with. But anyway, would you rather? So, do you want me to start it off, Bob?

Breath Vs Body Odor

SPEAKER_00

Um, yeah, if you want, because I mean, I know you know this was a big thing back when actually here, let me start it off. This was a big thing not too long ago, where people were like, Would you rather um get attacked by a regular size horse a hundred times or a hundred horses that are like little dog size, just one time each?

SPEAKER_01

I would take the hundred once.

SPEAKER_00

You think so?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, what would you do?

SPEAKER_00

I don't know. I I think I'd take the whole horse because I mean yeah, a hundred times, though.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, yeah, I wouldn't do that. No, a horse is 1,200 pounds, if not more. And so I would take the little ponies that are dog size, and it would be like puppies just running over you at once. So, yeah, I mean, come on. Anyways, yeah, so what do you got? So here's my first one. We'll see where this one goes. So I'm gonna ask you about your forever partner now. That could be a spouse, that could be your person that you are desperately in love with. So it's not somebody that you're gonna leave, okay, for this. You can't leave them for this. You're gonna stay with them. But would you rather that they have really bad breath or really bad body odor? And they can't do anything about either one, they can't bathe and get rid of it, they can't brush your teeth and get rid of it. And this is like so. Would you rather have your your partner have bad breath or bad body odor? This is gonna be a tough one because okay, okay.

SPEAKER_00

Uh I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go with breath.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, tell me why.

SPEAKER_00

Uh because they can shut up for the next 20 years.

SPEAKER_01

Oh my goodness. Well, you know what? I thought the same thing. I thought the same thing. I thought, well, I could stand behind them, or I could tell them, you know, when they don't kiss me. Don't kiss me. When you go to talk, you know, talk with your face facing the other way.

SPEAKER_00

Or put your hand in front of your mouth.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, or something. With body odor, man, you you're kind of doomed. And that's all of it. That's all that going on. So I don't think I would want the body odor.

SPEAKER_02

Do you still have bad? Oh, so it'd be bad breath then.

SPEAKER_01

Bad breath.

SPEAKER_02

So yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Did you just ask me, do I still have bad breath?

SPEAKER_02

No, do you still have the same effect? What do you mean? If you breathe through your nose.

SPEAKER_01

You know, I don't know. I don't think so. I don't know. That's a good question. I think you have some. You would have to coming up through your nasal passages, right? You would still have some smell coming out of you, but nevertheless, you have to choose bad breath or body odor. What would you choose, Dr. Domain?

SPEAKER_02

I I would I would do the bad breath.

SPEAKER_01

So that's three. Three for bad breath, please. We'll take a table for three. Okay. Um, would you rather be with someone who wears their pajamas in public all the time or never combs their hair when they have hair?

SPEAKER_02

I was just thinking, talking about bad breath, I was trying to figure out what it was. If he did one of these like red gag balls, like they had in pulp fiction.

SPEAKER_01

No, and they breathe around it. It makes it right. They'd breathe around it. He's making up gag balls too. I didn't think oh my god. I didn't think you could. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_02

Well, these have holes in them.

Pajamas In Public Or Wild Hair

SPEAKER_01

You wouldn't want one that's see, you wouldn't want that anyway. So we've moved on.

SPEAKER_02

Three ball.

SPEAKER_01

Three ball. Three holes.

SPEAKER_02

Isn't that the one that's red? I don't know.

SPEAKER_01

I don't know. We're moving on. Okay, so would you rather be with someone that wears their PJs in public all the time? I mean, doesn't matter where they go, they wear PJs, pajamas, not just, you know, crappy pants like they do at Walmart. This is full-fledged pajamas, or that they never ever comb their hair. Which would you rather have? And that's uh that's assuming they have hair, Dr. Domain.

SPEAKER_00

Pajamas.

SPEAKER_01

I would probably take the pajamas too. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

There's some really cool pajamas.

SPEAKER_01

There's some cute pajamas out there. What did you get for Christmas, Bobby?

SPEAKER_00

Oh, I got a uh Bucky's onesie pajama thing. And yeah, I have to wear that everywhere.

SPEAKER_01

I have worn it out in public. We were in uh, where were we? Savannah or Tybee Island? I think it was Tybee Island, wouldn't it? Tybee. And we took the dogs for a walk, and I said, I'm wearing my Bucky's jammies, my one, my one piece. And we walked up and down the street.

SPEAKER_02

Went to the ice cream shop.

SPEAKER_01

Went to the ice cream shop and everything. Yes. This is your mother. Well, I mean, I have this is your mother.

SPEAKER_00

I have that Lilo and Stitch onesie pajamas that I wear. I wear it on the motorcycle and everything. So I mean, like, I'm not embarrassed about that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. So I would take that too. What would you take, Dr. Domain? Would you take they don't comb their hair? He's going, Well, you don't comb your hair.

SPEAKER_02

I have hair, by the way.

SPEAKER_01

I know. I know you do a little bit there. There's two of them. Anyway, what would you pick? What would I do for your person?

SPEAKER_02

I would want them to wear pajamas.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

Browser History Or Texts Exposed

SPEAKER_02

Because I think if you're not combing your hair, it's going to lead to other things. Like you're going to get some skanky scalp or something. It's going to turn into some disease.

SPEAKER_00

Skanky scalp. I think that's the disease is skanky scalp.

SPEAKER_02

And then for for date night, we just go to Walmart.

SPEAKER_00

SSD. Skanky scalp. Okay. Okay. I've got one. Okay. This is kind of for the younger than Boomer generation. Okay. Um, because honestly, I I already know your answer, but um, would you rather have your browser history leaked to your parents or your text messages published in a newspaper?

SPEAKER_01

Oh man. I mean, even for us. I always say, man, something happens to me, don't let my kid see my phone. Your browser published, you said?

SPEAKER_00

No, your browser history leaked to your parents.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. Can you change it?

SPEAKER_00

So, like my like my browser kids or something.

SPEAKER_01

Can I give it okay? So I could give it to my kids. Oh.

SPEAKER_00

Or having your text messages published in a newspaper.

SPEAKER_01

I would take the browser to my kids because my kids would just they they wouldn't look at they would die laughing and they would just go that yeah, that's my mom. What would you do, Bobby?

SPEAKER_00

I would have to say browser history to my parents because it's mainly like stuff we research for the podcast and serial killer stuff.

SPEAKER_01

I was gonna say, you're kind of an open book anyway.

SPEAKER_00

I mean, my my text messages, on the other hand, I mean, there could be some uh yeah, there could be some bad stuff there.

SPEAKER_01

But you're pretty much an open book when it comes to stuff. And it's like even in on holidays, it's like, could somebody just shut her up? Honestly, she's making us lose our appetite. What about you?

SPEAKER_00

I think a lot of it is just like me trying to figure out if I'm using words right or spelling them right.

SPEAKER_01

Because your mom is a grammar queen and she does catch that stuff. Yeah. What would you what would you think, Dr. Domain?

SPEAKER_02

Well, it's kind of a kids.

SPEAKER_01

This would have to go to your kids because your parents are gone just like text messages?

SPEAKER_02

Text messages to your I'd probably do that.

SPEAKER_01

No, the text messages go to the newspaper. Oh they're published. Or your browser.

SPEAKER_02

That's kind of 50-50. It's not really I mean uh pick one. You gotta pick one. My browser history would go to my kids.

SPEAKER_01

Your kids.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, yeah, that's fine. I wouldn't do that. I mean, that doesn't matter. I mean, but I did look up some pretty crazy stuff the other night. We were watching uh, we're getting into breaking bad, and so I'm like, Googling how much does 200 pounds of meth cost? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

So he's looking up all this meth stuff, and I said, you know, I'm not sure I'd be looking that up on my phone. And well, you go into private browsing. I I don't know. I don't know. Even on even on some of those murder mysteries, I'm looking up how long does a body last in a cooler, you know. I mean if if somebody came after me, it's like, uh, why was she looking up uh how long a body lasts underneath the front porch? I don't know. As long as there's uh you know cool air coming in. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02

Um would I be dead when all this happened?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. No?

SPEAKER_02

Yes or no?

SPEAKER_01

No.

SPEAKER_02

Oh no. Oh, see, maybe that changes things. Maybe you thought you were dead.

SPEAKER_01

No, I'd still have the same thing. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02

If I publish stuff on the newspaper, that'd be fun. Oh, yeah. All your text messages.

SPEAKER_01

Your text messages?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Going how far back to the beginning of time or what?

SPEAKER_00

I guess as as long as you know it it keeps data type of thing.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, here's the next one. You ready, listeners? Would you rather have someone and this now? This is not like you got a choice. This person is your person, and you are terribly in love with them. You're never gonna give them up. Oh god. Would you rather have someone who is horrible in bed or someone ha who has horrible credit crickets right here because we're all dead.

SPEAKER_00

Well, I'm I'm kinda I'm kinda debating because I mean there I could because like you know, you can take care of yourself both ways if you have good credit yourself, and you know after if they're horrible in bed, you just dismiss them and you do your own thing.

SPEAKER_01

It's like I can get there quicker anyway. Oh, I shouldn't have said that on the air. Um just kidding. Just kidding. What would you do, Dr. Domain?

SPEAKER_02

Uh credit.

SPEAKER_01

You would take somebody with bad credit?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I'm self-sufficient. I don't care about their credit.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. But they're with you forever. This is your lifelong partner.

SPEAKER_00

I mean, honestly, I'm with him. Yeah, I would I would have to go with credit because I already have everything that I need or want or I like I I'm so I am self-sufficient there.

SPEAKER_01

So yeah, I mean we're gonna have to do a do a show on on oh, I'm not even gonna say it right now. But um so okay, so you would take somebody with bad credit instead of somebody who's really bad in bed. I would take someone with bad credit too, uh, primarily because I feel like I could clean their credit up, you know, somehow. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02

Somehow you gotta clean up the bedroom routine.

X-Ray Vision Or Perfect Memory

SPEAKER_01

I you know, if they're really bad in bed and you can't, I mean, come on, some of that you you're kind of like, can't do anything with you. Okay, here's a good one, Bobby. Would you rather, and this is you, not your person. This is you. Would you rather be able to see through stuff or be a speed reader with a photographic memory?

SPEAKER_00

Um probably see through stuff because I read really fast already, but I mean my memory is kind of crap right now because my concussion. But I think I'd rather be able to see through stuff. Oh, but then again, why oh, there's stuff I don't want to control. So here's what we're trying to do. Can I control it?

SPEAKER_01

Well, I mean, you I guess I don't know. I mean, yeah, because you could control reading and stuff too, but you could see through stuff like see through walls, see through clothes, see through, you know, trees, see through, you know, whatever, whatever it is. Uh yeah, I would guess you would be able to control it because I would think that you could control, you know, when you're reading and when you're photographic memory. Of course, photographic memory, you don't always have control over that.

SPEAKER_00

I would say if I can control what I, you know, when I can see through things, I'd do the see-through thing.

SPEAKER_01

What would you do, Dr. Domain? Speed.

SPEAKER_02

Speed read.

SPEAKER_01

Speed read? Yeah, me too. I want a photographic memory. I want to remember everything, and I want to be able to speed read. I know. I can't even remember my my passwords. I'm like standing at the door today trying to get in, and I go, What's our password? And then he goes, Oh, you're gonna have to disconnect the the alarm system for the house. And I go, what's the code? And he's like, Oh my gosh, you know, it's whatever.

SPEAKER_00

I don't I don't think I'd ever want a photographic memory because a photographic memory you can't really control. You have a photograph of every event in your life, good and bad. Yeah. I I I think that a lot of bad things happen and you don't remember them because that's your brain's way of protecting you. Yeah, I don't think I would want to get rid of that.

SPEAKER_01

I just think it'd be cool to be sitting in court and having somebody recite something and you go, no, on page 362, and the second paragraph it reads blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And that's how, you know. I mean, I think that would be kind of cool. I don't know.

Talk To Animals Or Master Every Language

SPEAKER_00

Um, okay. I got I got one. I got a fun one. All right. Okay. Would you rather be able to communicate with non-human animals or have a life?

SPEAKER_01

Any animal you're talking about. You're talking about non-humans.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, not the human animals. Not the humans.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, animals are, I mean, humans are animals.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_02

Um, rovers are human now.

SPEAKER_01

Not non-humans.

SPEAKER_00

So be able to converse with animals that are not humans. Uh-huh. Or would you rather have a lifelong fluency in every language that humans speak?

SPEAKER_01

Oh man, that's a good one right there.

SPEAKER_00

This one's hard for me.

SPEAKER_01

Because I don't like people. I don't know.

SPEAKER_00

I'd rather talk to animals.

SPEAKER_01

I know, me too. But you're gonna get in fights with animals too. Even, you know, you got some bear out in your front yard and you're going, hey, and he's going, screw you. What's your name?

SPEAKER_00

Or the fucking squirrels that run in front of your car and they're like, hey, screw you, asshole. You know, and it's like, you're the idiot that ran out in front of me.

SPEAKER_01

And you now you're talking to him and you can't help it. Um I would probably take uh what was the second option?

SPEAKER_00

Uh lifelong fluency in every language.

SPEAKER_01

I'm taking every language. I'm taking the lifelong fluency in every language. That's what I'm taking. Yeah. Because that even includes sign language, and that includes anything historical, you know, so I could read everything from way back. Yeah. No, like dead languages. Yeah, I'm taking that. What are you taking, Doc?

SPEAKER_02

I would do the languages. Yeah. I would love to be able to read Aramic and Latin and all those things. And then you go to like a restaurant, you know, if they're talking smack about you.

SPEAKER_01

Right. You go get your nails done. Why you why your nails are so bad? Why why you do this? Yeah, dang, what what happened to you? Um yeah, and then they start talking about it.

SPEAKER_02

No, actually, when they speak their language. No, no, I know. Not when this white woman's trying to impersonate them.

SPEAKER_01

What would you do?

SPEAKER_02

I want to know if they spit my fried rice. I know. You know, I know.

SPEAKER_01

So, Bobby, what would you do?

SPEAKER_00

I would, like I said, it's tough because I don't like talking to humans, but to know the language, I think would be imperative. I I would, and plus, I don't want to know what my dog is thinking about. She's stupid. Like that would bring down my IQ level.

Burps Or Farts Forever

SPEAKER_01

Okay, so we agree on that. Okay, so okay, here's a good one. Would you, and this has to do with your lifelong partner again.

SPEAKER_00

So the would you God, why did you look up all these with partners?

SPEAKER_01

I didn't look up any of these. I was writing these down off the top of my head last night. So, um, would you rather have someone that you can't get rid of um who constantly burps stinky bilches or someone who constantly farts stinky farts? God, I do both. I know. That's why we won't let you near us. It's like, is she coming for for the holidays? We might want to eat before she gets here. Um, what would you rather have? Somebody who constantly burps stinky bilches, or someone who constantly farts stinky farts.

SPEAKER_00

Like define constantly. Like let's say five minutes.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, let's say that. Once every five minutes. Every day, all day long, the rest of your life.

SPEAKER_00

Every belches.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. What are you going with, Doc? Well, I you know she already I already have one and she farts all the time.

SPEAKER_02

Well, I look I look back at all the bad odors of my life, and I would say more of them come from the butthole than the cake hole. So I'm gonna go with Burt's belches.

SPEAKER_01

I would probably go with belches too for that same reason. I would be shoving peppermint you know mints in their mouth and going here, take this.

SPEAKER_02

I don't know, but it's another case for the red gagball.

SPEAKER_01

Oh my gosh. Would you quit looking that stuff up? He's got it on his screen over here, Bob.

SPEAKER_02

They have them in spearmint flavor.

Nails Off Or Skin Shaved

SPEAKER_01

They oh my gosh, in spearmint flavor. Okay. Here's here's one. Ooh. Would you rather have your fingernails pulled off or have the top layer of the skin on your arms shaved off?

SPEAKER_00

Skin.

SPEAKER_02

I don't know. Why? Because they grow back? Or is there a loop? Is there a loophole here?

SPEAKER_01

They're both painful, man, and they're gonna be painful for a long time. I think once your nails grow back, it's a done deal. Once your skin is off, it's like you can't go out. It's only the top layer. Don't your nails grow back though? Yeah, but it's I mean, that top layer, it isn't like, oh, I'm gonna buff it with, you know, a little, what do they call them? Those little scrunchies in the shower. No, I'm talking about cutting your whole first layer of skin off to where it's burned off.

SPEAKER_00

First of all, it's a loofah. That's what you use in the shower. Okay, whatever. And second of all, it's only the top layer. You know how how thin the top layer of your skin is? I I lose it all the time.

SPEAKER_02

Okay. There is a loophole. I that's just getting to it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. I wasn't talking about it. Um figures. Figures.

SPEAKER_02

Like just that little tiny layer.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. I mean, it doesn't even affect my tattoos, really, if I was thinking that wasn't what I was thinking. So thanks you guys for ruining that for me. I really appreciate it.

Unknown Hero Or Famous Villain

SPEAKER_00

Okay, I got one. I got one.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, go ahead.

SPEAKER_00

Would you rather be an unknown superhero or a famous villain?

SPEAKER_01

Unknown superhero. Clark Kent. Yeah. Batman.

SPEAKER_02

Lois Lane.

SPEAKER_01

Lois Lane was no one.

SPEAKER_02

No, she was not a superhero.

SPEAKER_00

She was a hero bunny. Wonder Woman.

SPEAKER_02

How's that? Wonder Woman.

SPEAKER_01

Help. Wonder Woman. Yeah. I suppose.

SPEAKER_02

Invisible jet.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I suppose. Supergirl. What was she called? Was she called Supergirl?

SPEAKER_00

Supergirl.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. So most of them are unknown anyway. So I would take the superhero know them.

SPEAKER_00

You know, when they're in their superhero form, they know, oh, that's the Batman, but you would be completely unknown. They'd be like, who's this jackass?

SPEAKER_01

I know, but some people would look at you as a villain, and maybe you really aren't a villain, Ice. So I'm just saying that you'd be out there doing your job, maybe, and people are coming after you because they know who you are and where you are.

SPEAKER_00

I'd rather be a famous villain.

SPEAKER_01

Really?

SPEAKER_00

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01

To hurt people? Just to be famous?

SPEAKER_00

Just to be famous? I could be a villain guy.

SPEAKER_01

Another loophole. Another loophole. Yeah. She's making up her. Okay. I'm glad I didn't give you this topic in advance because you're just making up your story as you go now.

SPEAKER_02

You got to tighten this up, Bobby.

SPEAKER_00

You can be a villain by erasing everybody's debt. You could be a villain by making free health care. You could be a villain by taking down the top three in the United States right now that run the country. Listen, there's ways to be villains that are not hurting people.

SPEAKER_01

Or you could put a fence up around Minneapolis. Oh, Jesus. Um there went all of our Minnesota listeners. We're not going to get anybody. Well, hey, no, that's we got a lot of Minnesota listeners that are not near Minnesota Minneapolis. So there you go.

SPEAKER_02

SPEAKER_01

Bobby, quit rewriting my questions. Oh my goodness. There's rafters. There's a lot of things. And there's bales of hay out there in that barn that you could get up on that the hogs can't get on. Or you can lay on the rail. I don't know.

Rom-Com With Enemies Or Horror With Friends

SPEAKER_00

Okay. Okay. Here's one. Here's one. Okay. Would you rather, and I you already know the answer to this one for me. Would you rather be trapped in a romantic comedy with your enemies or a horror movie with your friends?

SPEAKER_01

I'm taking the horror movie.

SPEAKER_00

100%.

SPEAKER_01

100%. Because I gotta tell you, in that, we are the villains, Bobby. Because there's I mean, seriously, you look around and you go, I'm pretty sure I can take these people out in a heartbeat in a horror movie.

Airport Handrail Or Bloody Pad

SPEAKER_01

Then don't answer it. I'm moving on. All right. I'm moving on. Okay. This is gonna be gross. This one's really gonna be gross, and I'm just gonna tell you that right now. Uh, would you rather lick an entire handrail on the first floor at the Chicago airport or blow your nose with a discarded bloody cotex? Dr. Domain's going, I don't know what a co-tex is. This is gross. Everybody's going, that's pretty gross. That's a rain jacket. Yeah, that's what it is.

SPEAKER_02

That's what it is. Oh, that's cortex.

SPEAKER_01

unknown

I don't know.

SPEAKER_01

I don't know. What do you think, Bob?

SPEAKER_00

I'm licking the handrail.

SPEAKER_01

I don't know. Man. If I had to pick. I only have to.

SPEAKER_00

I mean, granted, I mean, like, I can't really blow my nose, but if I could, I there's no way I'm putting my face in a bloody cotex.

SPEAKER_01

Either way, you're still talking about um, you know, not just germs, but you're talking about passing on pathogens somehow.

SPEAKER_02

Is it a new handrail?

Dog’s Butt Or Dead Person’s Face

SPEAKER_01

Has it just been clean? Was it while you were following the cleaning lady and she had, you know, the spray bottle out and new terminal at Chicago? I would have to probably go with the body cotex just because it's a one-time deal, and I don't have to follow somebody and her just go down and keep licking. I don't know. That's pretty gross. You're licking the handrail, Bobby?

SPEAKER_00

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, okay. Here's one. Would you rather kiss a dog's butthole after he just pooped or lick a dead person's face?

SPEAKER_02

I'm gonna censor her. Bobby, she's not allowed.

SPEAKER_00

Well, I'm gonna say I'm gonna say dead person. Um, yeah, but but it kind of depends on the amount of decomp. Are we talking like two months in the water? Are we talking a floater? Are we talking about it? See, you just can't take it, can you? You just can't take what I said I would take the dead person.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. I would probably I would probably take the dog's butt.

SPEAKER_00

You're gonna kiss a dog's butt after they just pooped.

SPEAKER_02

I am. I think mama would want me to lick the dead person's face.

SPEAKER_01

You're trying to do Mr. Gain? Gain?

SPEAKER_02

I think Mama would like that.

SPEAKER_01

Ugh.

SPEAKER_02

SPEAKER_00

It's gonna be your last one, period.

Lose Hearing Or Right Arm

SPEAKER_01

We're gonna get cut off. We're gonna get cut off. Um, people are going, we're not listening to this crap anymore. Um, would you rather maybe I could think of a clean one because this is really not good. Um would you rather I know.

SPEAKER_02

Choose wisely.

SPEAKER_01

Choose wisely. Would you rather lose your hearing or your right arm? Now, if you're a lefty, that's probably a pretty easy question. I would probably use lose my hearing because I'm losing it anyway.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. I think, yeah, I think I would go with hearing.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

What would you go with?

SPEAKER_02

Hearing.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. It's too hard to to lose in a you know, an arm. It'd be hard to lose hearing, but it would be really hard. I mean, but people get by all the time, you know. I mean, they'd get by either way, right? Because you could you could um get a uh fake arm, you know, and there's a lot of people who have them now. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

You know, or less Yeah, but I mean like if you lose your hearing, not only do you have, you know, ASL and things like that that you can learn, but you can feel sounds. So it's not like you're you're completely cut off from from that world, it's just different.

SPEAKER_01

Right, right. Well, I gotta tell you, I'm le I'm keeping this last one because it's pretty darn gross. And I think we already covered some gross ones. So we want to hear from our listeners. We want to hear your would you rather? And it could be a fun one, it could be a gross one, it could be a uh criminal one, even. I don't know.

SPEAKER_00

Obviously, it can be a dirty one because that's what mom's over here doing.
