0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:06.000
<v Speaker 4>highest quality. Yeah, And Teddy Roosevelts, the twenty sixth President

0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:09.800
<v Speaker 4>of the United States and part time dating coach, once said,

0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:13.080
<v Speaker 4>never knew that he was. He said, a healthy relationship

0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:15.040
<v Speaker 4>is like a well run costco.

0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:19.480
<v Speaker 1>The costco is, Yeah, you.

0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:23.720
<v Speaker 4>Gotta have clear rules, members only, and if you behave right,

0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:25.920
<v Speaker 4>they might let you sample the goods.

0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:32.519
<v Speaker 2>I learned history on the show wows.

0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:35.960
<v Speaker 4>But just like at Costco, all it takes is one

0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:40.519
<v Speaker 4>tiny issue in your relationship. One gallon tub of mayo

0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:44.560
<v Speaker 4>knocked off onto the floor, one receipt dropped at the

0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:47.920
<v Speaker 4>hot dog food court before checkout, and next thing you know,

0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:52.680
<v Speaker 4>they're calling managers. Suddenly you can't leave and the whole

0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:56.880
<v Speaker 4>store is thrown into chaos. Oh, and nobody wants their

0:02:56.919 --> 0:03:01.639
<v Speaker 4>relationship to be a chaotic receiptless costco go right, I.

0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:03.800
<v Speaker 1>Mean, they won't let you out without the receipt. So

0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:06.399
<v Speaker 1>I get what you're saying. That recep.

0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:11.239
<v Speaker 4>Teddy Roosevelt jail so wise and that's why our listener,

0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:13.799
<v Speaker 4>Coop has emailed us for help. Cooper, is that how

0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:17.560
<v Speaker 4>you're feeling? Does that analogy work to describe your relationship?

0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:18.359
<v Speaker 7>Uh?

0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:21.040
<v Speaker 8>You know, it was very specific, and I.

0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:24.880
<v Speaker 2>Appreciate It's like, I'm trying to figure out what it means.

0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:28.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, spend some time on you and that's all.

0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:28.960
<v Speaker 2>Yes.

0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:31.440
<v Speaker 4>The bottom line is it sounds like there's an issue

0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:33.680
<v Speaker 4>in your relationship and you're worried about it.

0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:34.880
<v Speaker 8>That's true.

0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:37.960
<v Speaker 4>Okay, okay, all right, So let's get into the details

0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:39.280
<v Speaker 4>about that. Tell us what's going on.

0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:42.920
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, so my girlfriend and I we've been together about.

0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:43.360
<v Speaker 8>A year and a half.

0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:44.720
<v Speaker 4>Okay, what's her name?

0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:46.120
<v Speaker 8>Her name is Danelle.

0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:47.480
<v Speaker 4>Okay.

0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:50.880
<v Speaker 2>That's always like an important time period for a relationship,

0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:51.440
<v Speaker 2>like a year and.

0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:53.240
<v Speaker 1>A half, it is like, are we really doing this

0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:54.520
<v Speaker 1>or is that fun?

0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:56.000
<v Speaker 3>Your mark is big, and an year and a half

0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:57.640
<v Speaker 3>you're like, we're.

0:03:57.440 --> 0:03:58.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, okay.

0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:00.480
<v Speaker 5>So that's kind of how I felt about the year

0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:02.480
<v Speaker 5>for sure, okay. And I felt like we were in

0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:05.000
<v Speaker 5>a really good place, in a good enough place that

0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:07.480
<v Speaker 5>when I saw a job opportunity come up that was

0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:10.320
<v Speaker 5>in a different city, I thought that we could take it.

0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:12.840
<v Speaker 5>And we've been doing long distance for this back half

0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:16.240
<v Speaker 5>of our relationship to.

0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:18.640
<v Speaker 3>Move with you. You moved and you're doing long distance.

0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:20.760
<v Speaker 8>That's exactly right. No, we weren't there yet.

0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:25.159
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I like temporary long distance or forever long distance.

0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:26.200
<v Speaker 1>They don't know.

0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:28.680
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean I'm hoping it's not forever, Like this

0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:30.720
<v Speaker 5>was supposed to sort of be a transition period.

0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:33.680
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I assume since you're still together. She was on

0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:34.960
<v Speaker 1>board initially.

0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:40.000
<v Speaker 5>Absolutely, and everything was going pretty well except for as

0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.360
<v Speaker 5>of recently, just like the last couple of weeks, she's

0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:45.479
<v Speaker 5>been acting different, I guess.

0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:47.640
<v Speaker 4>Okay, different mean different.

0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:50.960
<v Speaker 8>So she used to like, I mean, I don't sound bad,

0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:52.360
<v Speaker 8>but like she's a check off on me, like.

0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:55.599
<v Speaker 1>All the time, like via text or calls or whatever.

0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:58.080
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, and like checking up on where I was, what

0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:00.880
<v Speaker 9>I was doing, who I'm with. And then like it

0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:04.599
<v Speaker 9>was like a switch flicked and now she hardly does

0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:06.599
<v Speaker 9>it at all, and I kind of like I miss

0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:08.120
<v Speaker 9>those check ins.

0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:08.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:11.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's nice to have a girl nagging you all

0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:14.520
<v Speaker 4>the time. I don't trust you. Tell me what's going on.

0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:19.160
<v Speaker 3>She's thinking about you every couple hours, you get, Hey,

0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:19.719
<v Speaker 3>what you doing?

0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:22.919
<v Speaker 1>You felt connected?

0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:24.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, do a scan of the room right now and

0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:26.479
<v Speaker 4>let me know there's no other women there.

0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:29.479
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that's what he means.

0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:31.839
<v Speaker 4>It's romantic.

0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:33.279
<v Speaker 7>I think that was a part of it, for sure.

0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:34.920
<v Speaker 8>It was some insecurity for sure.

0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:39.839
<v Speaker 4>That you mean stopped because that's a good time.

0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:42.599
<v Speaker 1>Has she been going to therapy and the therapy is working.

0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:47.080
<v Speaker 4>Don't joke like that about his girlfriend broke? Come on,

0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:49.520
<v Speaker 4>it's funny when I say it, but when you're doing

0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:53.440
<v Speaker 4>it's too far. Okay, So you're saying that that change,

0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:56.320
<v Speaker 4>that shift in her behavior started happening a couple of

0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:59.360
<v Speaker 4>weeks ago. What's going through your mind now, like where

0:05:59.360 --> 0:05:59.839
<v Speaker 4>are you at?

0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:03.520
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I'm wondering, like to what's going on or like

0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:05.760
<v Speaker 5>the anxiety of it all. My worst fear is that

0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:08.039
<v Speaker 5>there's like some other guys who's trying to step in

0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:09.200
<v Speaker 5>and it's taking her focus.

0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:12.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, your girlfriend was jealous.

0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Now she's not jealous, So now you're jealous that maybe

0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:17.240
<v Speaker 2>something's going on with her.

0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:18.760
<v Speaker 3>That's called a toxic relationship.

0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:22.280
<v Speaker 8>That something's off is all?

0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:23.760
<v Speaker 4>Something's off off?

0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:26.760
<v Speaker 3>Did you know her more than anybody? So you feel a.

0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:28.560
<v Speaker 1>Shift and so you haven't talked to her about this

0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:28.960
<v Speaker 1>at all.

0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:30.040
<v Speaker 8>I've tried.

0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:33.320
<v Speaker 5>I mean I've tried to sort of like subtenly make

0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:35.960
<v Speaker 5>that suggestion that something has changed. But I feel like

0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:38.640
<v Speaker 5>I've not managed to gross the topic. And that's sort

0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:39.240
<v Speaker 5>of why I'm.

0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:41.640
<v Speaker 2>Here with you guys, because how can you say, why

0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:42.360
<v Speaker 2>aren't you worried?

0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:43.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm with other women?

0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:47.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and just saying everything Okay, it's too generic.

0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:49.200
<v Speaker 4>The other way we used to have such a lack

0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:49.799
<v Speaker 4>of trust.

0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:51.159
<v Speaker 9>Well, I thought you guys.

0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:52.440
<v Speaker 5>Could help me sort of like sort of do a

0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:54.560
<v Speaker 5>harder push to open up and tell me like what's

0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:55.320
<v Speaker 5>really going on?

0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:59.160
<v Speaker 4>Okay, you need your girlfriend to really open up, and

0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:01.839
<v Speaker 4>you're hoping that we the advice to make her do that.

0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:06.120
<v Speaker 8>Clearly what I'm doing isn't working. So yeah, okay.

0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:08.440
<v Speaker 2>And okill that Like you want to know if she's

0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:09.360
<v Speaker 2>seen someone else?

0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:10.280
<v Speaker 1>It sounds like do.

0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:12.960
<v Speaker 4>You not want him to find that out if he's talking.

0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:15.520
<v Speaker 2>The other I mean, my advice is different, So I

0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:17.600
<v Speaker 2>need to know, like what's our angle here?

0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:21.360
<v Speaker 1>Is it just what changed? Or is it other people?

0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:24.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's a cheating investigation. Yes, okay, what change?

0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:25.520
<v Speaker 3>And why are you cheating on me?

0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:30.240
<v Speaker 5>Accusation? I mean, I certainly hope she's not seeing other people,

0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:32.239
<v Speaker 5>but I missed her possessiveness.

0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:34.680
<v Speaker 7>I like that.

0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:37.640
<v Speaker 1>We're just saying it out loud sentence.

0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:40.840
<v Speaker 4>That's super clear. Now, okay, we'll come back. We will

0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:43.200
<v Speaker 4>give you our advice and help you call your long

0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:46.120
<v Speaker 4>distance girlfriend to find out why she's not being more

0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:48.840
<v Speaker 4>clingy and more possessive over years.

0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:49.560
<v Speaker 3>Whose phone is this?

0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:54.040
<v Speaker 4>And we'll do it in your special awkward Thursday phone

0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:54.840
<v Speaker 4>right after this.

0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:56.960
<v Speaker 6>It's awkward.

0:07:57.280 --> 0:07:58.920
<v Speaker 4>It's Thursday.

0:07:58.960 --> 0:07:59.560
<v Speaker 3>It's awkward.

0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:06.200
<v Speaker 4>Third, why can't women be more possessive and untrusting of

0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:07.920
<v Speaker 4>their long distance boyfriends?

0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:10.240
<v Speaker 3>So many girls are like preachable.

0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:14.800
<v Speaker 4>I've always thought this. If they were more controlling, then

0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:17.480
<v Speaker 4>we wouldn't even need to help. Our listener, Cooper today

0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:20.000
<v Speaker 4>with his long distance lady Janelle, not.

0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:22.160
<v Speaker 1>Believe this is what he's asking for, but it's.

0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:25.000
<v Speaker 4>True because in the last few weeks, he says, Danelle

0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:28.280
<v Speaker 4>has not been as possessive over him as before.

0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Those are like not at all.

0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:32.920
<v Speaker 4>Those are his words, not ours, And it feels weird

0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:36.360
<v Speaker 4>to him because usually she's always checking in, like where

0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:38.400
<v Speaker 4>are you, who are you with? Prove it to me,

0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:41.760
<v Speaker 4>and that has not been the case as much anymore.

0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:43.400
<v Speaker 1>Hold up a newspaper, show me the date.

0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:48.400
<v Speaker 4>So naturally he's worried about it and concerned that maybe

0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:51.080
<v Speaker 4>she could be interested in somebody else.

0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:53.760
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I will say a shift in behavior at

0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:57.040
<v Speaker 2>any in any way in a relationship can indicate.

0:08:56.600 --> 0:09:00.800
<v Speaker 4>That, yeah, people need to stay the same forever. Is

0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:01.880
<v Speaker 4>a good point, Broke.

0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:03.280
<v Speaker 3>It's a drastic shift.

0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:06.560
<v Speaker 4>The bottom line is long distance stuff is hard, and

0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:08.480
<v Speaker 4>so we need to help him fix it. How do

0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:10.280
<v Speaker 4>we do that, Brook, what's your advice?

0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:12.040
<v Speaker 1>I think you smoke her out?

0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:16.880
<v Speaker 2>Okay, no, not like that, like you know, like someone

0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:20.040
<v Speaker 2>in a hole and you smoke may anyway, maybe use

0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:25.400
<v Speaker 2>use the wrong analogy. Yes, Teddy Roosevelt, do the metaphors,

0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:30.600
<v Speaker 2>but you scare her right like you, I'm serious. You

0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:32.800
<v Speaker 2>bring up whatever it is to you that would bring

0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:35.280
<v Speaker 2>your relationship to the next level. Maybe it's her moving

0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:37.800
<v Speaker 2>to the town you're living in, or an engagement or

0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:39.240
<v Speaker 2>getting an apartment.

0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:43.120
<v Speaker 1>Together, because that shift in a relationship. If she is cheating,

0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:46.000
<v Speaker 1>she'll back off like I can't do that.

0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:47.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, smart?

0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:50.560
<v Speaker 4>Does that advice make sense to you, Cooper or you

0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:51.720
<v Speaker 4>as confused design?

0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:55.160
<v Speaker 5>I kind of hear that, but I'm scared that if

0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:57.400
<v Speaker 5>I do that, she'll lead into that because I'm definitely

0:09:57.400 --> 0:09:59.600
<v Speaker 5>I don't know that. I'm like, oh, ready.

0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:01.240
<v Speaker 3>Accidentally is getting married.

0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:03.880
<v Speaker 1>I thought you were ready for her to like, Okay, he's.

0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:05.840
<v Speaker 4>Trying to figure out where they're at in their relationship.

0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:07.080
<v Speaker 4>Jose what's your advice?

0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:10.400
<v Speaker 3>Bro? You just say, you know, what's funny living in

0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:14.440
<v Speaker 3>a different city, especially the guys. They're way uglier here

0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:18.360
<v Speaker 3>than the guys back at home. You're probably tempted, right right,

0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:22.400
<v Speaker 3>then laugh and tell her I'm just kidding, But see

0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:23.240
<v Speaker 3>what she says.

0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:26.120
<v Speaker 4>Okay, you're trying to see if she's actually interested and

0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:28.240
<v Speaker 4>they need the cute guys back home. She may say,

0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:31.920
<v Speaker 4>how did you know framing it like a joke, Cooper,

0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:33.559
<v Speaker 4>Do you see that emphasizes a joke.

0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:35.560
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I kind of see what you're saying. Maybe it's

0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:36.920
<v Speaker 8>a good way to just like break the ice.

0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:39.240
<v Speaker 4>I guess it. Yeah, I guess that's a different way

0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:40.160
<v Speaker 4>to smoke her out.

0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:43.400
<v Speaker 2>As Brooke would say, again, not what you think, Jose

0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:45.240
<v Speaker 2>so funny.

0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:49.440
<v Speaker 4>Anyway, we are going to call your girlfriend Nanell here.

0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:51.600
<v Speaker 4>Do you feel ready? You feel prepared with the advice

0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:52.920
<v Speaker 4>that we gave you, Cooper.

0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:54.640

<v Speaker 8>to like to jump into like a harder topic.

0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:22.760
<v Speaker 5>that been feeling.

0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:24.240
<v Speaker 8>A little different lately, and I don't know why.

0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:29.360
<v Speaker 5>I just wanted to like to say, before anything else happens,

0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:30.840
<v Speaker 5>like I don't want them to be different.

0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:37.720
<v Speaker 8>Really yeah, really, so why do you sound like that?

0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:39.760
<v Speaker 8>It's like you don't trust me. You're like you're thinking

0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:41.040
<v Speaker 8>about somebody else or something.

0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:45.720
<v Speaker 6>Okay, you know what, I didn't really want to do

0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:47.600
<v Speaker 6>this right now, but I do think we just need

0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:49.760
<v Speaker 6>to be honest. We see each other and say what's

0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:51.600
<v Speaker 6>happening exactly?

0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:52.640
<v Speaker 8>Yes? No, thank you?

0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:53.360
<v Speaker 2>What? So?

0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:53.920
<v Speaker 7>Like?

0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:55.000
<v Speaker 8>What is happening?

0:12:56.440 --> 0:12:59.160
<v Speaker 6>Here's what's happening. A few weeks ago, I was trying

0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:03.720
<v Speaker 6>to call you in you weren't answering, okay, and you

0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:07.640
<v Speaker 6>know we share a location with each other, so I

0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:09.400
<v Speaker 6>knew you weren't at the apartment.

0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:13.520
<v Speaker 8>I know we yoh no, we alread talked about this.

0:13:13.559 --> 0:13:16.320
<v Speaker 8>I was at my coworker's place. It's Corey, you remember,

0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:18.360
<v Speaker 8>mm hmm, I remember.

0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:21.120
<v Speaker 6>And that's why I found Corey's email at your work

0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:23.720
<v Speaker 6>and I sent him a message asking if you were there,

0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:26.320
<v Speaker 6>and he answered me the next day and said, no,

0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:26.840
<v Speaker 6>you weren't.

0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:34.720
<v Speaker 8>Oh what sorry? Why would you email him without asking me?

0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:38.000
<v Speaker 6>That's that's what that's your response. You don't think a

0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:39.960
<v Speaker 6>better question? Why would you lie to me?

0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:44.160
<v Speaker 8>Okay? I don't know why Corey's not telling you the truth.

0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:48.360
<v Speaker 6>You're the one not telling you the truth? You like,

0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:49.720
<v Speaker 6>have you been with someone else?

0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:57.080
<v Speaker 8>No? I mean double not anymore?

0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:01.120
<v Speaker 3>What happened? No more?

0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:06.800
<v Speaker 6>What is happening? Why are there other people on this line?

0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:07.640
<v Speaker 4>Was cheating?

0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:07.839
<v Speaker 7>Yeah?

0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:08.240
<v Speaker 3>Danell?

0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:10.040
<v Speaker 4>Hey, you're on the radio right now with a show

0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:12.000
<v Speaker 4>called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. This is called

0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:15.840
<v Speaker 4>an awkward Tuesday phone awkward Thursday phone call.

0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:17.160
<v Speaker 3>Good morning, Cooper.

0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:19.800
<v Speaker 6>What the hell are you doing calling a radio station

0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:21.119
<v Speaker 6>about this exactly?

0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:23.280
<v Speaker 4>Why would you ask for her help?

0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:26.200
<v Speaker 8>What are you doing checking my location and invading my

0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:27.320
<v Speaker 8>personal faith.

0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:32.600
<v Speaker 4>That you said she wasn't possessive enough.

0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:33.760
<v Speaker 3>I told you they were talking.

0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:35.320
<v Speaker 1>You have a girl who tracks you that thought you.

0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:36.240
<v Speaker 3>Could get away with cheating.

0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:38.760
<v Speaker 1>Did you cheat, Cooper?

0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:40.720
<v Speaker 9>It wasn't like that.

0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:41.680
<v Speaker 8>It was just a one time.

0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:46.880
<v Speaker 5>There was a one time day. That is, Cory did

0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:48.720
<v Speaker 5>lie to her. I was with him.

0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:52.480
<v Speaker 6>So you cheated with though you were with the guy.

0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:53.800
<v Speaker 6>Is that what you were saying?

0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:58.280
<v Speaker 5>Yes, one time, that's it was. It's never gonna happen again.

0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:02.960
<v Speaker 2>Okay with your coworker, Corey.

0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:06.240
<v Speaker 8>I don't like that term cheating. Okay, we were experimenting.

0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:08.880
<v Speaker 4>But didn't you say at the start of this the

0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:10.920
<v Speaker 4>guys in your new town aren't as hot as the

0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:15.280
<v Speaker 4>guys in your.

0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:18.800
<v Speaker 1>I think it's more concerned it's a coworker.

0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:23.120
<v Speaker 4>There's a lot of concerns that have been said, Cooper.

0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:29.360
<v Speaker 2>Sorry, I mean obviously that's why she had a shift,

0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:30.520
<v Speaker 2>is because she caught you.

0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:32.720
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I didn't know she knew anything. It was it

0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:33.680
<v Speaker 8>was one time.

0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:38.400
<v Speaker 2>Would you be okay if we called her and she's like,

0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:40.440
<v Speaker 2>it was one time, Cooper.

0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:42.640
<v Speaker 4>No big deal with her female co worker.

0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:44.800
<v Speaker 8>I would totally forgive her for that.

0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:49.880
<v Speaker 2>Understanding boyfriend, you know, Why did you wait to accuse

0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:51.680
<v Speaker 2>him and confront him about this?

0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:54.320
<v Speaker 6>Honestly, I just was curious to see how long it

0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:56.160
<v Speaker 6>would take him to realize they messed up.

0:15:56.360 --> 0:16:03.560
<v Speaker 2>Okay, what are you interested in forgiving him?

0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:06.080
<v Speaker 6>I need some time to process. But like, I don't

0:16:06.080 --> 0:16:07.360
<v Speaker 6>really see us coming back to this.

0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:11.360
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Yeah, it's just a long distance. Do you get

0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:12.080
<v Speaker 1>that trust back?

0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:13.480
<v Speaker 6>Yeah?

0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:16.360
<v Speaker 4>Okay, Cooper, I look, it's safe to say that you

0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:19.440
<v Speaker 4>and your girlfriend are probably done after this.

0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:21.880
<v Speaker 6>I think it's safe to say we're definitely done.

0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:25.600
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Well, okay, that's not the ending that Cooper was looking.

0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:26.400
<v Speaker 5>All right.

0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:29.640
<v Speaker 4>Look, I know this probably feels really bad right now,

0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:33.880
<v Speaker 4>but it's not the worst thing. You're in a new city. Clearly,

0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:37.400
<v Speaker 4>you're discovering things about yourself, and you have a lot

0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:40.840
<v Speaker 4>to figure out. It might actually be the best thing

0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:43.080
<v Speaker 4>that's ever happened to you going forward in your life.

0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:45.960
<v Speaker 1>What I know.

0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:46.680
<v Speaker 4>I'm a shocked.

0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:53.120
<v Speaker 1>I thought that was really optimistic. I thought that was

0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:55.040
<v Speaker 1>a good post breakup speech.

0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:57.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think he's texting Corey right now. Liked you

0:16:57.120 --> 0:16:57.520
<v Speaker 3>blew it?

0:16:57.640 --> 0:16:57.880
<v Speaker 2>You might.

0:16:57.920 --> 0:16:59.840
<v Speaker 4>You might just need some time to really just let

0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:01.400
<v Speaker 4>all the emotions process.

0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:01.960
<v Speaker 8>The right way.

0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:02.280
<v Speaker 2>Both.

0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:09.359
<v Speaker 8>these plans and just the suck.

0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:15.280
<v Speaker 8>I mean, I have some tickets to a show coming up.

0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:16.639
<v Speaker 8>I mean maybe I could see if Cooreo go.

<v Speaker 4>God, what's the show that you have tickets to?

0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:30.760
<v Speaker 8>By the way, we I mean we were going to

<v Speaker 8>see Hello Dolly, that was a plan.

0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:39.840
<v Speaker 4>And how we didn't see the signs of this earlier. Okay,

0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:42.960
<v Speaker 4>point five Rook and Jeffrey In the morning, we're getting

0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:45.560
<v Speaker 4>text coming into seventy five nine two. A lot of

0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:48.280
<v Speaker 4>people are in shock over this one. I'll just read

0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:52.600
<v Speaker 4>a few. This one says, OMG, what this guy gets

0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:53.679
<v Speaker 4>what he deserves?

0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:57.639
<v Speaker 1>It just so weird. Why contact us if you're trying

0:17:57.640 --> 0:17:59.000
<v Speaker 1>to hide something because.

0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:01.400
<v Speaker 3>You have dumb cheter and think they're never gonna get caught.

0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:03.400
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't seem too sad though. No.

0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:07.240
<v Speaker 4>A lot of time it's fine. If you think your

0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:10.639
<v Speaker 4>significant other is cheating on you, it's a projection because

0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:13.159
<v Speaker 4>you know, deep down you want to cheat or you

0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:13.600
<v Speaker 4>have cheat.

0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:15.360
<v Speaker 3>I've been one of those relationships too. I'm like, why

0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:16.679
<v Speaker 3>do you always accuse me of this?

0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:17.280
<v Speaker 5>Oh?

0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:21.200
<v Speaker 4>Because I get it. Another person wrote in it doesn't

0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:23.919
<v Speaker 4>matter if it's a one time experiment. If you're in

0:18:23.960 --> 0:18:28.280
<v Speaker 4>a relationship, it counts as being unfaithful. Yeah, okay, according

0:18:28.320 --> 0:18:30.720
