Speaker 1 (00:32):
And what about Jake made him stand out from the
endless sea of men on dating apps?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
I mean from his pictures and stuff.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
I thought he was really cute, so that I guess
like initially attracted.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Me to him.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
And then you know, after like our first date, I
just kind of felt like, you know, you meet a
lot of guys that are like super flaky, and he's
just like not flaky, Like he really kind of makes
me a priority, and I really.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Liked that about him.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Yeah, I was gonna bring it up because you mentioned
in the email even though he's got a busy schedule,
like he always made it seem like you were still
like you make time for calls and checking in and
like he was going the extra mile, so to speak.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Yeah, his job is super, super busy, but I feel
like even if he has like twenty minutes, he calls me,
you know, just to like her.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
And I really like that about him.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Okay, but according to email over the course of the
last month, that's kind of changed a little bit.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Yeah, I feel like all of a sudden, I don't
know if he's just pulling back or whatever, but he's
not as accessible, Like I'm having a hard time getting
a hold of him.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
We're not seeing each other as much. I just don't
really know what changed.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Has he had, like a change in his like schedule
or like life in generally like no, like.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
His his work schedule was like essentially, I mean, as
far as I.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Know, like it's the same.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
His dog died recently, like last month's U. But yeah,
I mean, and I feel like I've been trying to
be really supportive about it.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
What kind of his name is Rocky? Name is Rocky? Yeah,
he's super c Yeah, but I.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Don't know, Like I just I guess I didn't. I'm
just kind of confused, Like I'm not really sure what's
going on.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
It feels like a big change.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
It explained to me the golden necklace. So you were
at his place a couple of weeks ago, did a
little digging and what was that.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
So it was my.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Birthday recently and I was at his place and I
don't know, kind of like with everything that's been going on,
I I'm feeling like a little insecure. And I found
this gold necklace and I thought, oh, my birthday is
coming up.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
He's definitely gonna this is a present for me.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
I'll get it on my birthday and I you know,
put it back whatever. And then on my birthday, we got.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Dinner and he took me to a spa, got a massage,
like it was really nice.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
But I kind of kept waiting to get the necklace
and I never got the necklace.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Okay, love, Actually that's.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
What I think.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Let's do this. But no, no, I mean, like as
somebody who lost a pet this year, that is okay,
it's the worst. So so let's do this, Rachel. We'll
call Jake off from the Roses. They should clearly go
to you girlfriend three months. If they do, we put
him on hold. See what you want to do if
they don't, look at some answers for you.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Okay, Okay, thanks guy.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
I wore the roses just over two minutes on intern
Johnny Morning Show wore the rosies on Internsjohn in your
Morning show, Rachel, let me recap this. So you and
Jake match bumble. You guys have been dating for about
three months. You had said that what kind of made
you drawn to him is he's a very busy guy.
Busy schedule, work, YadA, YadA. But he still took the
(03:44):
time out to make you feel like a priority, although
in the past month or so that seems sort of shifted.
To be fair, he did lose his beloved bulldog, which
certainly tough. I can understand that. But a couple of
weeks back, you were doing some snooping in his place,
went through his ours, found a gold necklace you assume
to be for your birthday. Birthday came around you guys
(04:04):
at dinner and spot not the necklace. And that's kind
of why you want to do war the roses. Is
that fair?
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yeah? I think that's all fair.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Okay, So Sauce is got to call off for him
the roses. They should go to you girlfriend three months.
If they do, we put you on hold. See what
you want to do. If they don't, we'll get some answers.
Hold on one second, Yeah, and I can understand losing
the and then yeah, God forgetting everything else been there.
Lord knows right.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
Hello, this is Jake.
Speaker 6 (04:36):
Hi Jake, my name is Emily. I'm calling you from
a new flower shop. We're offering you a free bouquet
of a dozen roses. We're just trying out some new marketing.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
No, Emily, it's okay. I don't do these solicitation calls.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
I appreciate your calling.
Speaker 6 (04:49):
One thousand percent to get that. We're just we're just
brand new. We're trying to get more foot traffic before
the holidays. We don't need your credit card info or anything,
and it's just a way for you know, you'll look
better maybe if you have someone to send them to,
and then I will, hopefully in the future, help out
my mom's new flower shop. We're just, yeah, help help
your local economy. But if you don't want to, I
get it. I just feel like a free bouquet of
roses is easier to you know, promote something than Instagram
(05:14):
ads and stuff.
Speaker 7 (05:16):
So this isn't like one of those scam calls or
anything like that.
Speaker 6 (05:20):
No, I literally hate talking on the phone, so I
don't want to do this. I just thought it's the
best way, and so far it's been working this kind
of marketing.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
So uh, if you have a business, yeah, maybe you
could try it out.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
And you said it it's a free it's free.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
Well, we just like have a plethora right now, so
we're trying to get rhythm since's not really like that
time of year and they're red so, I mean people
are always sending roses, but not as many as we have.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
We just got some really nice ones.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
So oh wow, that sounds pretty cool.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
So you're in.
Speaker 6 (05:52):
It sounds like you're in. You have someone. I know
you have someone to send them to. Jake, I can tell.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
You know, I love the idea of a free anything free.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
Yeah, and then hopefully you just love them so much
that you use this in the future, like during the
holidays instead of you know, a national chain.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
Any stipulations with this.
Speaker 6 (06:13):
No, you know, we just want to get them out.
We want to hook you up, and if you don't
like them, that sucks for us. But this is not
going to do anything for you, So it's not gonna,
you know, ruin your day hopefully.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Okay, well I guess in that case, sign me up.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Okay, Yeah, who do you want to send them to.
Speaker 7 (06:34):

somebody that I've been talking to dating for about three months,
four months now.

Yeah, yeah, I'm sure.
Speaker 8 (08:38):
Does he have a tattoo on it on the back
of the shoulder for Penn State by chance?

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
