Waffle House Or Walmart Stories

SPEAKER_02 0:28

We are back. I have my best friend Joe G in studio with me today. And Joe G, today is International Waffle Day. And so it made me think of Waffle House and all the crazy things that have happened at Waffle House. You've probably seen some crazy viral videos. So I thought we'd play a game called Waffle House or Walmart. You tell me if this happened at a Waffle House or at a Walmart.

SPEAKER_01 0:51

But everything is real. Everything is real. I just have to decide where it was real.

SPEAKER_02 0:55

Exactly. Employees staged a fake robbery and then actually called police on themselves.

SPEAKER_01 1:01

Definitely Waffle House.

SPEAKER_02 1:02

There you go. Ding ding ding. You are in tune with the Waffle House. A man attacked someone using a frozen squirrel during an argument. Waffle House or Walmart?

SPEAKER_01 1:13

Uh Walmart.

SPEAKER_02 1:14

No, that uh was a Waffle House.

SPEAKER_01 1:18

Why was the squirrel frozen?

unknown 1:20

I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 1:21

Was it in the freezer? I guess so. Uh let's see. Uh an older man used his cane to stop a robbery in progress. Waffle House or Walmart?

SPEAKER_01 1:30

Uh that's Walmart. No, no.

SPEAKER_02 1:32

All right. You know what?

SPEAKER_01 1:32

I'm just gonna say Waffle House from now on.

SPEAKER_02 1:34

All right. Uh let's see. Uh a man brought a pony inside and walked it around like nothing was wrong.

SPEAKER_01 1:42

Waffle House. That's Walmart.

SPEAKER_02 1:49

Let's see. Uh uh someone attempted to make drugs inside a public bathroom and got caught.

SPEAKER_01 1:56

Oh, Walmart.

SPEAKER_02 1:57

That is Walmart. Oh, there you go. You totally redeemed yourself. You want one more question? Yes.

SPEAKER_01 2:02

This is for all the bananas.

SPEAKER_02 2:04

This is for all the waffles. Here we go. Um a man attempted a robbery using a pitchfork. Uh Waffle House.

SPEAKER_00 2:13

It is Waffle House. There we go. I know my Waffle House. How do you like them Waffles?

SPEAKER_01 2:18

Yeah, I know I know my WT.

SPEAKER_02 2:22

Oh, that was Walmart or Waffle House.

Am I The Jerk Court

SPEAKER_02 2:27

Alright, it's now time for Am I the Jerk Court? Today we have the Honorable Joe G presiding. He's got his wig on and robe. What's under the robe?

SPEAKER_01 2:38

Yep. It's just hair.

SPEAKER_02 2:41

All right, here we go, Joe. I'll read the story, and when we come back, we'll get your ruling. My brother's new girlfriend brought her home to dinner, and the entire night the woman was quietly saying rude things in Spanish about our house, the food, even my mom. Assuming no one understood her except me. Fluent. I sat there for about 45 minutes listening to it, trying to ignore it until she said something about my mom that crossed the line. So I calmly responded in Spanish. Yeah, you know it. I addressed everything she had said point by point, then smiled and went back to eating. The table went completely silent. My brother is now furious at me for causing a scene, and his girlfriend is mortified. My mom has no idea what was said, and I'm not sure if I should tell her. I didn't yell, I didn't insult her, I just let her know I understood everything. Am I the jerk? What say you?

SPEAKER_01 3:45

Absolutely not. Is she the jerk? The lady said what she said. If she said it in English and she stopped her, right? Would that would have been okay? But because she said it in Spanish, she's not allowed to correct her and say, Stop talking smack about my family. Right, right. No. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 3:59

You if you don't have something nice to say, don't say it at all, even if it is in another language, right?

SPEAKER_01 4:04

Now, maybe she could be considered a jerk with the fact that when the new girlfriend walked in and she didn't say, hola, you know, and say something in Spanish so that the new girlfriend knew she spoke in Spanish, it almost seems kind of sneaky.

SPEAKER_02 4:20

Well, yeah, she was trying to bait her, it does seem like that, but I don't see a problem with it. It's the first time the family's meeting her brother's new girlfriend. Yeah. I say, let those true colors shine. She gave her 45 minutes and then finally said, Hey, guess what, you jerk? I know every word you were saying.

SPEAKER_01 4:38

And what about the brother? He doesn't speak Spanish? Yeah, he doesn't.

SPEAKER_00 4:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 4:41

Or he he didn't say anything about this new girlfriend? I she I she w she would have been out of my house.

SPEAKER_02 4:47

You would have kicked her out. Yeah. She would have been adios. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 4:50

Talking about my mother?

SPEAKER_02 4:51

Yeah, don't talk about my ma. You're talking about my mom. Don't talk about my ma. In the case of Am I the Jerk for pretending I don't speak Spanish and letting my brother's girlfriend bury herself by saying mean things. Joe G rules, not the jerk. No. Ding, ding, ding.

SPEAKER_01 5:09

In fact, I'm proud of her.

SPEAKER_02 5:10

Proud of her. Way to go. S movie Bien.

SPEAKER_01 5:12

Yes. Standing up for her mom. I'm disappointed in her brother.

SPEAKER_02 5:16

That's right.
