Speaker 4

New laws.

Speaker 3

Oh god, if I'm driving and I catch if I catch a heat flash, right and I cracked the window, but the passenger is cold, who should be go with? I'm the driver, remember that part.

Speaker 2

If it's your lady.

Speaker 1

If it's your lady, look, you got to find at least a happy medium.

Speaker 2

You got the compromise.

Speaker 1

You have to always do something that tells her it's not just about you.

Speaker 2

That's all I'm trying to say with that.

Speaker 4

Is it about me at all?

Speaker 1

It can be because you don't need to be freezing if you drive it. You don't need to be uncomfortable because your safety, her safety is.

Speaker 2

In your hands. Because you're behind the wheel.

Speaker 1

But you do need to be a bit sensitive to what she wants and needs, even at that particular moment in time, because damn it, if she's freezing, that's a problem.

Speaker 3

So if she starts a question with so, can I ask you a question?

Speaker 4

And I say no? Is that valid?

Speaker 2

Said?

Speaker 3

What if she asks me a question and it starts with can I ask you a question?

Speaker 4

And I say no? Is that valid?

Speaker 3

Because we all know when y'all start with can you ask you a question? There's nothing good coming behind that. So you gave me an you gave me an option, and I said.

Speaker 4

No, is it rhetorical? Can I ask a question? Like?

Speaker 2

It's rude? Can I ask you a question? No?

Speaker 4

Really, it's true, it's an answer.

Speaker 2

Next roll forward, Next rule, bro, next rule. I got a surprise for you, by the way, before all of this shows up.

Speaker 3

But go ahead, Oh, you do the indecision shot clock. If I ask you what you want to eat? You got twenty four seconds to figure it out. You got two back and forth before the twenty four seconds runs out. You know I'm vegan this month. No, we don't have time for that. Like, I'm really sick of it. I'm going on the day tonight, like I told you, and it's outside, we're gonna stop. We might stop at a hot dog truck or something like that.

Speaker 1

Why would you be going outside on a date in April, in early April? Why would you pick an outside venue that this early April?

Speaker 3

Like it might get a little chili, but the wind's not gonna go through this. Hopefully she doesn't have on nothing. That's too that's too dam.

Speaker 1

So you're thinking about what you was wearing. You took into account, not at all what she might be wearing.

Speaker 4

No, not exactly. If she wants to go home, then the sooner we be getting side.

Speaker 2

Man, sit, what's your next rule?

Speaker 3

So that's it for today, because my mails. We're gonna get to the mails on the next show.

Speaker 4

What's a surprise for me?

Speaker 1

Okay, I'm gonna bring you back later on in the week to get to your rules. But I got a little surprised for you. A little video that I'm gonna play for you in just a second. I just sent that to my man Griff and Galen.

Speaker 2

When y'all have that video, play it for Josh. We're gonna end the show on this please, because you got something explained to do I got you good on this one.

Speaker 1

Hold on for a second, yo, Stephen a man, tell your nephew.

Speaker 2

Tell Josh that I'm really disappointed in him that he didn't know who the original.

Speaker 4

Flash was.

Speaker 1

All right, pay homage to the original Flash before you introduce a new Flash character.

Speaker 4

All right.

Speaker 2

So I'm still a big fan. But that's strike one.

Speaker 1

You not ritating one of the nicest dudes on the planet, who's one of the greatest off guards in the history of basket ball, of three time champions, a Hall of Famer, all right, one.

Speaker 2

Of the best people I know. You know that's my brother right there.

Speaker 1

And how in God's name do you not know who the original Flash was?

Speaker 2

I mean, you ignored him and he called you out.

Speaker 3

I never not knew who do Ane Wade was? Is he still Flash?

Speaker 2

Excuse me? He's whatever he wants to be. That's what Hall of famers are.

Speaker 1

Hall of famous who are champions multiple times over plus the finals MVP. Those are those guys right there. And by the way, he didn't send them the help. He's not bad at me because he didn't send that video for me to put over the airways. But you know he got love for you, so I tried. I thought he would appreciate me showing that.

Speaker 3

What that reminded me of was was it Rick Barry saying that like he could have played in any era if he had all of the things that they had. Now, this is what I mean with everybody. We have to move along with the times. If you see better, say it's better. I mean Waite was so so who.

Speaker 2

You saying is better than the Wade? And I'm saying, who are you saying?

Speaker 1

Who were you alluding to at that time that he had to call you out?

Speaker 4

Who were you alluding to? That's not that somebody's better.

Speaker 1

Than exactly, It's all right, So now we get that out the way. Secondly, that's not what he was getting on you about. He was getting on you about like you were acting like you didn't know who Flash was.

Speaker 4

I know who it is, but I'm just saying that if there's a.

Speaker 3

New flash, does he keep flash?

Speaker 2

Like?

Speaker 3

You?

Speaker 2

See how you smiling?

Speaker 1

You smiling because you caught out there You're trying to find the man you called your boys.

Speaker 2

I didn't call you, Josh. He was watching you.

Speaker 1

He was watching you on the show and saw you forget his name.

Speaker 4

You see, I do things to support this show. We in this as a whole.
