Speaker 3:Yes.
Speaker 1:Do you got your bedazzled wig?
Speaker 3:Yes, I do, and your bedazzled robe.
Speaker 1:All right, sounds good. This is official, all right. Here's today's Am I the Jerk Court case. I just found out my brother has been secretly dating my college ex-girlfriend for the past year. We dated for four years and broke up eight years ago. He said he kept it from me because he didn't want me to get mad. Well, last weekend was our parents' 40th anniversary party and without warning he brought her as his date. That's not even the worst thing the first time I'd seen her in years. During the dinner they announced they were engaged. Oh my gosh, this is juicy Janine. My mom cried tears of joy and I was completely shocked. I got up and left. My brother followed me and we got into a fight. I told him he should have at least warned me. He said I was being selfish and ruining the night. Later my dad called and said I humiliated the family by walking out. I don't have any feelings for my ex anymore, but the surprise and secrecy felt cruel. Am I the jerk?
Speaker 3:I know, it's just so tacky. Yeah, oh my gosh, I don't think he's the jerk. I mean, if he quietly walked out, I just think the brother oh my gosh, before you're going to show up there with her and announce it, just call him, tell him, have dinner with him ahead of time, alone, two brothers together, and say, hey, by the way, I started dating so-and-so, I was really in work, we've gotten serious. I mean, he should have given him a heads up. That was really rude.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah. I mean, come on, you're literally. You're going to bring her to a family event for the first time he hasn't seen her in years and then just spring on that you're engaged. Yeah, yeah, he should have definitely gave him a little bit of a warning, and but I would love to see what type of blow-up happened, because even the dad is mad I know, I know, it's just really.
Speaker 3:It's really. It was handled so poorly by the brother that's with the ex-girlfriend. He handled that and the ex-girlfriend. They just should have told him. You know, tell him just tell him no big deal. It was years ago. Yeah, we started dating. We're getting serious. Tell him, and tell him soon. I mean, people need to be more transparent. It's just dumb.
Speaker 1:I agree.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so I don't think he's the jerk, no way.
Speaker 1:Have you ever dated siblings?
Speaker 3:I have not. I have not.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, do you have siblings? Have you guys ever dated the same person? Well, no, I just have brothers.
Speaker 3:Oh, so no.
Speaker 1:So in the case of, am I the jerk for walking out of my parents' anniversary party when my brother announced his engagement to my ex Janine rules?
Speaker 3:Not the jerk, not the jerk.
Speaker 1:All right, Janine, we love you. Best friend, have a great day. Love you too. You have a good one. Yee-yee, yee-yee, holy moly, it's everyone's favorite redneck Paul from Beaumont. Did you hear today's? Am I the Jerk court case Paul.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I heard it. Yeah, do you think the guy is a jerk for walking out of his parents' anniversary party when his brother announced his engagement to his ex? Yeah, you think he is the jerk?
Speaker 2:Yeah, dude, I mean, look, number one, that's your parents, okay, what? Okay, number one, that's your parents, right, Okay, so you just rest there eating it. Number one, number two, I might still have a look. I mean, he can say whatever man, you won't be getting so mad, but it is your brother.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and it's kind of weird, but it's kind of weird and it's weird that they dated for a year and he never said anything and I think like it's kind of rude for the first time to like spring that on him, then to announce that getting engaged. I think that's a lot to throw on a person and not expect some type of emotional reaction.
Speaker 2:I mean maybe I mean whatever.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but you're right, it was the parents' night and so he maybe should have waited till the end. Wow, who would have thought Paul from Beaumont would teach me manners? Have you ever dated siblings?
Speaker 2:No, that's creepy. Well, maybe you dated somebody and they got sisters and you break up with them. Okay, look, that's the same DNA, bro, that's the same DNA. Nothing's going to change but the looks and the name.
Speaker 1:Yeah, their personality could be different though. Like maybe you're dating one girl and you've dated her for six months and just you don't really feel a connection, and then all of a sudden, like a year later, you start hanging out with her sister and you fall in love. Is that okay or no?
Speaker 1:I mean no, no, no, all right. Paul says you are not allowed to date. Once you've dated someone, you're not allowed to date anyone else in their family. Yeah, that's weird. That's weird. He says, all right, paul has weighed in on Am I the Jerk Court and he thinks it's creepy for you to date the sibling or a family member of an ex. He just doesn't think it's right. And you said we can no longer say anything bad about the backwoods of Texas because you think it's weird. Yeah, yeah, all right. Well, I'm going to read you five relationship scenarios regarding relatives and you got to tell me which one is the fake one. Are you ready? Okay, all right. The first one is the twin switcheroo. A woman got dumped by her fiance and late, well, forbidden Is it real or fake? And later started dating and eventually married his identical twin brother. That could be real. That is real. But you think that's forbidden. I mean, even though they're not related.
Speaker 2:Dude, All right yeah yeah yeah. That's a small town stuff too.
Speaker 1:Well, I'm telling you small towns, you got to get creative. You don't have a big selection. All right, a cousin love triangle. A man was dumped by his girlfriend and later dated her cousin, only to find out both women had been secretly competing for him for years.
Speaker 2:Real or fake, I'm thinking that could be a real Jerry Springer episode as well.
Speaker 1:That is Jerry, Jerry, Jerry. A woman attending her ex's wedding and three months later married the groom's brother who she said had been her shoulder to cry on Real or fake.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm thinking that might be real too.
Speaker 1:That is real. Is it creepy or not? All that's creepy, man. All forbidden, all right. And last one After a breakup, a man Find your own damn love. Find your own love. After a breakup, a man began secretly dating his ex's aunt. They ran off to Vegas to get married and didn't tell the family till after. That could be real, real creepy too. It is fake. But you're right, that might be real creepy. That was Real or Fake. With Paul from Beaumont it is now time for. Are you Smarter Than a Redneck? Paul? Today is National Senior Health and Fitness Day. Since you are a senior citizen, I thought we would focus on your health and fitness. Are you not a senior citizen?

Speaker 4:Yeah, like I say, some days are worse than others and today is not a very good day. But what are you going to do?
