Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's awkward.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's awkward Tuesday phone call. Recently, a certain married coworker
friend of mine who will remain nameless. Okay, they came
to me and asked, do you think it's okay to
snoop on your significant other's phone? My god, I reminded her,
you already have his password and won't let him use it,
(00:26):
so doubt you're going to find a whole lot of
new information on there. So she high fived me and
we went on with our day.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
You're such a good friend.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Job but nameless coworker drama aside, it brings up a
good question. Is there any time ever where it's cool
to snoop on your partner's phone? One of our.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Necessary I think it's cool.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Okay. One of our listeners said she felt like she
had no choice and now it's brought her to us.
Her name is Vivian, So Vivian, welcome to the show.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
No, I'm worried because it obviously means you found something.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Like you're looking to get hurt.
Speaker 5 (01:07):
Yeah, that's when my husband and I first started dating.
I look through his stuff, nothing, so I said.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Nameless coworker trauma aside. You need to focus on the
nameful listener. She's came to us for help. Okay, Vivian, Vivian,
tell us about your romantic problems.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
I will, I will. So, my boyfriend Eddie has just
been acting very strange lately. Okay, all started a couple
of weeks ago. Listen, we've been dating for like eight months,
so okay, I know him fairly. Wow, I think we've
got a really good relationship going, right, Yeah, a couple
of weeks though, he's been all of a sudden just
checking his phone randomly but a lot. And we can
(01:51):
read the room.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
That's a little different. That's a little actual.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Not a good sign.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
That's sort of what I'm concerned about.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Have you established a rule in your household, like we're
only allowed to check phones in front of each other,
because most healthy relationships do that. You're breaking the road.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
It's just weird that you like take the phone out
of the room every time.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
She knows that. It's a change in behavior.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Right, it's someone to see your screen, but to completely
like be extra safe and leave his that's extra I agree.
Men shouldn't have privacy, So tell us what's going on.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Finally, Yeah, but like, he'll hang up on this call
immediately if I sort of kind of go out and
be like, hey, you know what's up. It's calls, not
text super so some are phone calls, some are texts.
He just basically, you know, hangs up on the phone.
He gets rid of it as soon as I walk
in the room, he hangs up immediately.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Have you seen anything on his lock screen?
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Like?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Has it come up? You know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (02:49):
No?
Speaker 1 (02:50):
No text?
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Yes, And I'll tell you he's a bad liar. So
I know why I felt something is definitely up.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
I have to find out maybe something is a But
is it possible that it's a good thing where he's
like she's trying to come up with something to surprise
you and doesn't want you to find out about it,
or are you immediately assuming it's bad because we have
had a happen on this segment before.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Yeah, you know, it's a gut feeling that I have.
I just he gives me weird answers. It's multiple times
a day.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
What have you asked him? Like, how have you addressed
it with him?
Speaker 4 (03:27):
I haven't. I honestly don't even know how to address it.
It's just this giant mystery to me and how to
how to handle it? Why why he's doing this?
Speaker 5 (03:37):
And if you're wrong and you start accusing him, then
you look like the crazy paranoid one in the relationship.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
You know. Jeff said it maybe better than we think.
Have we considered it's worse, like maybe he's putting a
hit out on you? Well better, it wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Be so bad.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Okay, hopefully it's not that extreme. I'm just putting it
out there so when we get the real answer, it's
better than that. Okay, But Vivian, you said that you
you when in you snooped on his phone.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
At some point I did a little bit. I had to.
I had to get a number. I had to at
least Google it and find out if it was what,
what it could possibly be?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
What does the contact name say for the number?
Speaker 4 (04:13):
It doesn't. It doesn't have a contact name or anything.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
That's weird.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Wait, did you read the text?
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Yeah, the history.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
No, So it's just like a blank text with a
weird number. And I tried taking that number and putting
it into Google. It comes up as nothing.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
It's very can't find it. It could be a burn phone.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Okay, that's right.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
This is a mystery.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
So what's going on in your mind? What do you
think is happening?
Speaker 4 (04:39):
I don't know. Is he cheating?
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Is that your first side?
Speaker 4 (04:43):
That's the coworker girlfriend. I just I you know, it's
really making a paranoid, which is what I'm calling you guys.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Okay, so in this next part, you want to call
your boyfriend and confront him about it, because we are
good at that.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
I was sort of hoping you would call the phone
number so we could find out who that is the number.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Dude, Yeah, just going in totally blind to figure out.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
If it's like a flower shop. We're gonna feel bad.
We called her.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Nottiple sneaky calls? Do you need to make to a
flower shop to make one order?
Speaker 5 (05:20):
I was just to give something random, or it's just
the woman that works at the flower shop is really
hot and he's actually.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Or maybe it's one step higher and it's a ring
shop and he's having to do a lot of back
and forth with the yours.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
I feel like I doubt it.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
I doubt it.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
The thing is, we never make these types of calls
to numbers that we don't even know who's on the
other end.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
So I mean we have to find a reason for
you to be even calling right if you don't want
to out yourself, do you.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
That's going to be part of our advice that we're
going to have to think of before we come back
and give it to you in our awkward Tuesday phone
call right after this.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Thank you, Hold on, it's awkward.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
It's Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
It's awkward Tuesday phone call. Shady phone calls, sneaky boyfriends,
and a mysterious phone number that doesn't start with one
nine hundred. Wait, gen Z would call it susy short
for suspicious. We call it awk short first awkward.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
I love it. I think it's a.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
It's a a f One of our one of our listeners, Vivian,
noticed her boyfriend sneaking away to take phone calls and texts,
acting real weird about it. So she snooped and found
a strange number on his phone that he's been calling
a lot lately, with no contact information saved to it.
And she has no idea who this is.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Right now she does it, We're about to find out.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Yeah, so worried it couldn't be a cheating thing. That's
why she's asked us to help investigate. First, we need
to give her some quality advice. So Jose, what do
you have for her?
Speaker 3 (07:12):
All right?
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Look, if it's a business that answers, just hang up, right,
we can talk about it. Well know, all right, it's
a business. But if it's a generic I love hanging
up for the entertainment value of this shit, you know
what I mean, Like they answer hello, this is Walmart.
Beat that out. You know, we're never gonna get a
hold of anybody specific. It's the whole central system of
customer service. But I mean, if it's like a local
(07:32):
flower shop, then you don't need to do all that.
You know, that's a little extra.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
So unless he's delivering flowers to other women. Oh boy,
look that's my point. Okay, here's the thing. I'm banking
on it being a person.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Not a business.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
No, because you already Google searched it and the phone
number didn't come.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Upoint you know.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
So here's the thing.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
You cannot reveal that you're the girlfriend, because then that
person will just hang up the phone.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Do you see what I'm saying?
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Oh that's well, how does she not reveal that she's.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
Going to pretend to be her boyfriend's personal assistant instead?
Speaker 3 (08:06):
And you're just calling to update his rolodex.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
You know his phone numbers, and you need for some reason,
this one doesn't have a name attached to his contact
so you just need a name and a relationship.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
You like to keep all these things. You know, we're
the personal assistant. That's what you do.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Interesting, Vivian, what do you think.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
I like it.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
I think that's probably a good approach.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yeah, and it's kind of a brag.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Just Brook's first time doing this.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
She asked her personal assistant for that. All right, well,
we've given you all that we have to offer. Let's
dial this random phone number find out who's behind.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
It away the listeners don't even know what's going on.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
All right, I'm gonna dial it. We'll jump in if
you feel like you need a little help.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Here we go, Hello, Hi, Hi, who's this?
Speaker 4 (09:13):
This? This is Eddie's personal assistant, right? You know Edie anymore?
You've been talking to him recently on his personal line,
and I'm his assistant and I just need to update
his contact list, and I just need to get you
(09:34):
a name, please.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I don't think so.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
I don't think that's who this is, right, Well, I'm
I'm his assistant. I just need to update this info.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
No, Viv, viv, what are you doing?
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Wait?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
What Viv? I know this is you. I totally recognee
your voice.
Speaker 6 (10:07):
Wait na, yeah, uh, what is going on?
Speaker 4 (10:17):
You tell me? I have phone your number in my
boyfriend's phone.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Oh oh, trust issues again? All right, just like us?
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Excuse me, this is all very I have trust issues.
It's because you cheated on me.
Speaker 6 (10:39):
Oh god, well you were never able to prove that.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
So what the hell are you talking to my new boyfriend?
Speaker 6 (10:48):
Okay, look he called me, so you probably need to
talk to him about that.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Why would my current boyfriend want to talk to my
ex boyfriend.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Look, it's not my place.
Speaker 6 (11:02):
He should be telling you this, not me. I don't
I don't even want to get involved.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
No, tell me what is going on?
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Hey?
Speaker 6 (11:11):
Like I said, man, I shouldn't even be telling you this.
But now, look, he ended up seeing our video and
he wanted.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
To know how I did it. Oh my god, what
is going on there? No hang up on him?
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Was Nico?
Speaker 2 (11:44):
His name?
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Nico?
Speaker 6 (11:46):
Who am I a speaker with somebody?
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Radio speakers all over the place?
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Because you shut up, this is on the radio right now.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
You were show called Brook and Jeffrey in the morning and.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
This so much. He's loving this.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Let me try and explain. This is a segment that
we do called an awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Oh it it got awkward.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Yeah, it got akf as we like to say.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Look, I'm glad that you're liking this. Nico. We didn't
know anything about any video or whatever you're talking about.
We didn't even know who you were when we dialed
this number. You were just you were a mystery number
that Vivian found in her boyfriend's phone because he's been
acting a little bit shady, so she thought that maybe
he was cheating on her. But clearly he's not doing that.
(12:43):
That's the good news, right video. If anything, he's investing more.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
In your relations need to invest so many times calling you,
that's what doesn't make sense, Like he's honestly calling you
for tips.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Over that often? What am I supposed to say?
Speaker 6 (12:57):
He wasn't getting it.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Yeah, it was going to you to try and figure
out ways to get her to agreed to video.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
No, it just seduction, like just like how to get
her in the movie.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Is it like a cooking video that you guys made together.
Speaker 6 (13:13):
Yeah, we were cooking something up pretty spicy.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
That's so he was calling for the recipe.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Yeah, wait, how did your current boyfriend find a video
of your ex?
Speaker 4 (13:26):
I may not have deleted some stuff, and now I'm wondering.
I think I know exactly where he thought it.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Oh, Crape held on to the old video.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
Yeah, it sounds like she liked the old video, Jeff,
the old cooking video.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
She liked it a lot.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Yeah, whatever it is, that.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Was her recipe, your favorite one.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
So clearly you need to have a talk with your
current boyfriend.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
How bad must it be that he would be desperate
enough to call your ex friend?
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Never that like cheated on you.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
He's in love enough that he wants to recreate the
same memories.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Did you say that loud and hear yourself?
Speaker 1 (14:10):
It sounded sexy to me.
Speaker 6 (14:11):
For the record, that cheating was alleged.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
I mean, there's no proof to that, but.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
It's the way you say it like I didn't.
Speaker 5 (14:20):
You can't prove it. So are you enjoying this new
relationship that you have with Vivi's new boyfriend.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
There's nothing going on there either.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
You can't prove that out of it, but I get
it all right.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
Well, so if things improved in the bedroom.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Have you noticed, because I'm wondering if the tips are
working or not. He's spending a lot of time on
the the X.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
This is getting beyond I mean, can we just go
with cooking video. Let's go with cooking video?
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Is he a better chef then, Brooke? If it's working
or not? Like, yeah, how does prep work?
Speaker 1 (15:00):
What type of camera does he use? Because Brook wants
to know. Jeff God, all right, we won't bother you anymore.
But clearly, Vivian, you got your answer about who's behind
that mystery phone.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
I guess I did.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Oh my god, you from your phone too, I bet
you recognize it. Are you going to talk to your
boyfriend about this? You're going to tell him that, you know?
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Yeah, don't tell him.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
We still have some more sessions to go over together. Yeah, yeah,
I think he considers me his mentor now.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Okay, we're going to end it right there. That's your
awkward Tuesday phone call. It was af today, Brook and
Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 4 (15:44):

Speaker 5 (05:20):
I was just to give something random, or it's just
the woman that works at the flower shop is really
hot and he's actually.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Or maybe it's one step higher and it's a ring
shop and he's having to do a lot of back
and forth with the yours.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
I feel like I doubt it.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
I doubt it.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
The thing is, we never make these types of calls
to numbers that we don't even know who's on the
other end.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
So I mean we have to find a reason for
you to be even calling right if you don't want
to out yourself, do you.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
That's going to be part of our advice that we're
going to have to think of before we come back
and give it to you in our awkward Tuesday phone
call right after this.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Thank you, Hold on, it's awkward.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
It's Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
It's awkward Tuesday phone call. Shady phone calls, sneaky boyfriends,
and a mysterious phone number that doesn't start with one
nine hundred. Wait, gen Z would call it susy short
for suspicious. We call it awk short first awkward.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
I love it. I think it's a.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
It's a a f One of our one of our listeners, Vivian,
noticed her boyfriend sneaking away to take phone calls and texts,
acting real weird about it. So she snooped and found
a strange number on his phone that he's been calling
a lot lately, with no contact information saved to it.
And she has no idea who this is.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Right now she does it, We're about to find out.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Yeah, so worried it couldn't be a cheating thing. That's
why she's asked us to help investigate. First, we need
to give her some quality advice. So Jose, what do
you have for her?
Speaker 3 (07:12):
All right?
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Look, if it's a business that answers, just hang up, right,
we can talk about it. Well know, all right, it's
a business. But if it's a generic I love hanging
up for the entertainment value of this shit, you know
what I mean, Like they answer hello, this is Walmart.
Beat that out. You know, we're never gonna get a
hold of anybody specific. It's the whole central system of
customer service. But I mean, if it's like a local
(07:32):
flower shop, then you don't need to do all that.
You know, that's a little extra.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
So unless he's delivering flowers to other women. Oh boy,
look that's my point. Okay, here's the thing. I'm banking
on it being a person.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Not a business.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
No, because you already Google searched it and the phone
number didn't come.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Upoint you know.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
So here's the thing.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
You cannot reveal that you're the girlfriend, because then that
person will just hang up the phone.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Do you see what I'm saying?
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Oh that's well, how does she not reveal that she's.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
Going to pretend to be her boyfriend's personal assistant instead?
Speaker 3 (08:06):
And you're just calling to update his rolodex.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
You know his phone numbers, and you need for some reason,
this one doesn't have a name attached to his contact
so you just need a name and a relationship.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
You like to keep all these things. You know, we're
the personal assistant. That's what you do.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Interesting, Vivian, what do you think.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
I like it.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
I think that's probably a good approach.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yeah, and it's kind of a brag.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Just Brook's first time doing this.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
She asked her personal assistant for that. All right, well,
we've given you all that we have to offer. Let's
dial this random phone number find out who's behind.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
It away the listeners don't even know what's going on.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
All right, I'm gonna dial it. We'll jump in if
you feel like you need a little help.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Here we go, Hello, Hi, Hi, who's this?
Speaker 4 (09:13):
This? This is Eddie's personal assistant, right? You know Edie anymore?
You've been talking to him recently on his personal line,
and I'm his assistant and I just need to update
his contact list, and I just need to get you
(09:34):
a name, please.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I don't think so.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
I don't think that's who this is, right, Well, I'm
I'm his assistant. I just need to update this info.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
No, Viv, viv, what are you doing?
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Wait?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
What Viv? I know this is you. I totally recognee
your voice.
Speaker 6 (10:07):
Wait na, yeah, uh, what is going on?
Speaker 4 (10:17):
You tell me? I have phone your number in my
boyfriend's phone.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Oh oh, trust issues again? All right, just like us?
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Excuse me, this is all very I have trust issues.
It's because you cheated on me.
Speaker 6 (10:39):
Oh god, well you were never able to prove that.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
So what the hell are you talking to my new boyfriend?
Speaker 6 (10:48):
Okay, look he called me, so you probably need to
talk to him about that.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Why would my current boyfriend want to talk to my
ex boyfriend.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Look, it's not my place.
Speaker 6 (11:02):
He should be telling you this, not me. I don't
I don't even want to get involved.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
No, tell me what is going on?
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Hey?
Speaker 6 (11:11):
Like I said, man, I shouldn't even be telling you this.
But now, look, he ended up seeing our video and
he wanted.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
To know how I did it. Oh my god, what
is going on there? No hang up on him?
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Was Nico?
Speaker 2 (11:44):
His name?
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Nico?
Speaker 6 (11:46):
Who am I a speaker with somebody?
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Radio speakers all over the place?
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Because you shut up, this is on the radio right now.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
You were show called Brook and Jeffrey in the morning and.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
This so much. He's loving this.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Let me try and explain. This is a segment that
we do called an awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Oh it it got awkward.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Yeah, it got akf as we like to say.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Look, I'm glad that you're liking this. Nico. We didn't
know anything about any video or whatever you're talking about.
We didn't even know who you were when we dialed
this number. You were just you were a mystery number
that Vivian found in her boyfriend's phone because he's been
acting a little bit shady, so she thought that maybe
he was cheating on her. But clearly he's not doing that.
(12:43):
That's the good news, right video. If anything, he's investing more.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
In your relations need to invest so many times calling you,
that's what doesn't make sense, Like he's honestly calling you
for tips.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Over that often? What am I supposed to say?
Speaker 6 (12:57):
He wasn't getting it.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Yeah, it was going to you to try and figure
out ways to get her to agreed to video.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
No, it just seduction, like just like how to get
her in the movie.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Is it like a cooking video that you guys made together.
Speaker 6 (13:13):
Yeah, we were cooking something up pretty spicy.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
That's so he was calling for the recipe.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Yeah, wait, how did your current boyfriend find a video
of your ex?
Speaker 4 (13:26):
I may not have deleted some stuff, and now I'm wondering.
I think I know exactly where he thought it.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Oh, Crape held on to the old video.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
Yeah, it sounds like she liked the old video, Jeff,
the old cooking video.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
She liked it a lot.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Yeah, whatever it is, that.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Was her recipe, your favorite one.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
So clearly you need to have a talk with your
current boyfriend.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
How bad must it be that he would be desperate
enough to call your ex friend?
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Never that like cheated on you.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
He's in love enough that he wants to recreate the
same memories.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Did you say that loud and hear yourself?
Speaker 1 (14:10):
It sounded sexy to me.
Speaker 6 (14:11):
For the record, that cheating was alleged.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
I mean, there's no proof to that, but.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
It's the way you say it like I didn't.
Speaker 5 (14:20):
You can't prove it. So are you enjoying this new
relationship that you have with Vivi's new boyfriend.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
There's nothing going on there either.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
You can't prove that out of it, but I get
it all right.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
Well, so if things improved in the bedroom.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Have you noticed, because I'm wondering if the tips are
working or not. He's spending a lot of time on
the the X.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
This is getting beyond I mean, can we just go
with cooking video. Let's go with cooking video?
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Is he a better chef then, Brooke? If it's working
or not? Like, yeah, how does prep work?
Speaker 1 (15:00):
What type of camera does he use? Because Brook wants
to know. Jeff God, all right, we won't bother you anymore.
But clearly, Vivian, you got your answer about who's behind
that mystery phone.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
I guess I did.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Oh my god, you from your phone too, I bet
you recognize it. Are you going to talk to your
boyfriend about this? You're going to tell him that, you know?
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Yeah, don't tell him.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
We still have some more sessions to go over together. Yeah, yeah,
I think he considers me his mentor now.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Okay, we're going to end it right there. That's your
awkward Tuesday phone call. It was af today, Brook and
Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
