Speaker 2 (00:03):
War of the Roses starts right now on kt WB.

Speaker 1 (00:09):
We had a lot of unusual War of the Roses lately,
and this one is just kind of like back to
the basics. Okay, So somebody who's seen some evidence that
there might be something going on with their boyfriend, So
we're calling him to see who he sends flowers to. Yes,
that's the essence of War of the Roses. Who do
you want to send roses to? You better pick the
right name. But before we get to that, we're going

(00:31):
to talk to Tessa to find out what the what
the suspicion is all about? Tessa, we're on right now,
We're on Katie WB. What made you want to be
on more of the Roses today with your boyfriend?

Speaker 2 (00:43):
Jeff?

Speaker 3 (00:45):
He Yeah, So Jeff and I live together, and I
woke up the other night, like one in the morning,
and I roll over and he's not there, and I
know exactly where he is. He's like playing video games
in our basement, which is super annoying because I know

(01:07):
he's just gonna like complain about being tired the next day.
He has to wake up early okay.

Speaker 4 (01:11):
So I.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
Go to get him, and I go downstairs, but he
doesn't hear me. He's like facing away from the stairs
towards the TV, and he has his headphones on like
he always does when he's playing video games, but something
like something seems a little weird. He's like talking very quietly,

(01:37):
which is not usually what he does, and he plays
video games. He's like talking yelling at the TV. And
so I'm like, what the heck is going on? And
I get a little bit closer and I realize he's
like how do I say this on the radio? Like
cussing the carrots?

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Okay, you know what it is. I know it's such
a weird. You know exactly what it is.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
It's he's doing exactly what you described, but in a
clever euphemism.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Yeah, okay, okay. So then you're suspicious. You wonder who, what, why?

Speaker 1 (02:25):
How long?

Speaker 2 (02:26):
What's going on?

Speaker 3 (02:28):
Yeah? I'm like, like, clearly he was talking to someone,
like did he meet someone playing video games?

Speaker 5 (02:35):
Like?

Speaker 3 (02:36):
Is he cheating on me? Like what? I just I
don't know.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
I don't know how people react because if that, if
that happened to me, Let's say I'm downstairs and I'm
playing Halo, yeah, in the middle of the night, and
I gotta get up at four thirty in the morning,
and Susan comes downstairs. First of all, she'd turn on
the light, yank the headphones off me, and then she'd
be like, what the.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
What are you to get to bad? But what did
you do? Did you sneak back upstairs quietly?

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Why? I don't know why?

Speaker 3 (03:06):
Okay, go ahead, Well, I'm like half I'm half a week.
It's one I am And I'm just like, like, did I
just see that, right?

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Or like, so you didn't care? You didn't say anything
to him that day?

Speaker 4 (03:21):
No?

Speaker 3 (03:22):
I mean I was. I was thinking like maybe I
should just be honest, but then I was like, no,
like it's too easy for him to lie to me,
and I want to get on more of the roses
and see what he does so I can kind of
just like figure this out.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
Okay, are we sure that it's somebody else?

Speaker 1 (03:41):
But if he was just watching a video like we
was talking to somebody though, Yeah, he was talking.

Speaker 4 (03:48):
And you saw video games on his computer or TV
whatever he was doing, right, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
I mean, who knows. I mean, let's let's let's open
that door. It could have been guy. I mean, he
could have been talking to one of his buddies.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
He could have been talking to one of his buddies,
and it could have been you know, women play Halo too.
I don't know what he was playing, whether it's Halo
or Black Ops or whatever. Stardu Valley. No, they have
chat on Stardu Valley. No, they don't really. Okay, all right,
not to make light of your situation, but we will
call him in a second and see who he wants
to send flowers to.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
Okay, okay, love is in the air or wait, are
those lies?

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Guess we'll see.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
I'm part two of Board the Roses on KDWB.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
Interesting premise. So it's a couple.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
They live together, and I guess he has a habit
of playing video games in the middle of the night
and he won't go to bed, and then he complains
that he's tired the next day, so she wakes up
and I don't know if she even said what time
it was, but she does that thing where you reach
over and your pat your side, partner's side of the bed.
It's like, boh, they're not there. She's like, I know
where he is. He's downstairs playing video games. He needs
to get to bed, so she goes downstairs. He's got

(04:56):
his headphones on on the Xbox Live or whatever, and.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
He's talking softly with somebody.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Now, I don't do Xbox Live, but I've heard Carson
do it, and they yell at each other, Yeah, I
got your sick, I got your six man, right. So
he's like, and then she notices that ms basically his
pants around his ankles. Yeah, and so she's like, what's
going on? So she wants to know if he's met

(05:24):
somebody on Xbox Live that he's not being faithful right with.
Let's call him set a trap and see who he
wants to send roses today?

Speaker 4 (05:42):
All right, Jeff, that's all I needed from you today.
We're really appreciative of you doing that here. It really
helps with our customer satisfaction. So, like I said, we
do want to give you a big thank you, and
with our thank you, it comes with.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
A dozen romantic roses.

Speaker 4 (05:56):
What we'll need from you is who would you want
to send the roses out?

Speaker 2 (06:02):
Oh that's.

Speaker 4 (06:06):
Okay, perfect, we'll get those in the mail later today
for you. We appreciate your time, you.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
Know, as I feel bad for like guys on War
of the Roses that answer their question the right way,
and they're all excited, like, oh, I'm going to look
like a hero, and there's roses and this is really cool. Hey, Jeff,
do you want to know what's really going on?

Speaker 3 (06:26):
But what's really going on?

Speaker 1 (06:27):
I'm going to tell you what's really going on here, Jeff,
So pay attention. So this is all a ploy. This
is not real. There's no we don't care about your
phone service, and we don't care about your you know,
like satisfaction, and and there's no roses. We we were
put up to this, I say we, and it's the
Dave Ryan Show over on Katie w B Radio. We
were put up to this by your girlfriend, Tessa because
she wanted to know for sure if you would send

(06:50):
roses to her and not somebody that you met online
playing video games. I get it, you're quiet, you don't
understand what's going on. Tessa's gonna believe it or not.
Tessa's on the phone, she's listening right now, okay, and
she's gonna explain if you want to, Tessa, why you

(07:13):
wanted to set a trap and see who Jeff would
send roses to.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
Yeah, I'm I'm just looking like I don't know what's
going on with you. But I went downstairs the other
night and you were talking pretty quietly to someone while
you were playing video games, and you had your pants
around your ankles, and I just want to know what's

(07:41):
going on? Oh oh god? Because why why why can't
we just talk.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
About this in person? I don't want to, Like, I
don't want to people listen to this stuff and I
don't want them.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
That would be embarrassing though to find out, like your
co worker Jeff was.

Speaker 5 (08:00):
Like, Hey, doesn't my coworker jaf have a girlfriend named Tesla?

Speaker 2 (08:04):
You're like, wait a second, don't worry.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
Not many people listen to this show. Don't worry about it.
But but continue, you're doing a great job. Testas so,
you were explaining what you saw and why you were suspicious.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
Yeah, I just I mean, if you obviously something's going
on to if you haven't already talked to me about it,
then why would I trust you to tell me the truth?
I mean that's why I did this, because I want
to know the truth.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
I mean, look, there's there's things that I do in private.
You know, It's it's like watching pol like, do I keep.

Speaker 5 (08:43):
It from you?

Speaker 2 (08:43):
Yes, yes I do. What is it a big deal
that you could talk to what I was doing?

Speaker 3 (08:52):
So what exactly were you doing?

Speaker 5 (08:56):
It's not a big deal, testa.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
Can we just can we talk about it? I don't
really like being exposed to other listeners at the moment.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
No, but let me ask you a question. Jeff and Tessa,
and you're here, see what you think. Okay, So people
will watch the you know, the the site or whatever,
but you're talking with somebody. Does that change the whole problem?

Speaker 2 (09:26):
Is that? Is that? I mean, it's a different to
interact with now, Yeah, yeah, I.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
Just talking to someone online is way different than watching
I would agree.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
I'm totally responding to you. Do you know that person?

Speaker 3 (09:40):
Jeff?

Speaker 2 (09:41):
No, So then it's no, I don't know that person's cheating.
So it's like a like a sex phone line. Oh okay, right.

Speaker 3 (09:50):
I mean yeah, you could. You could say that back
in the day, sure, huh okay, but no, it's on Xbox.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
I think a lot of people would be upset if
they found out that partner was on some sort of
a phone line like that. I mean, not that there's
a big difference, but if you're on like an anonymous
like phone line. I didn't even know if they have
those anymore, where you call that eight hundred number and
it's like, oh, live chat whatever hete big boy.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
Right. They used to advertise those on TV.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
There'd be like an alluring looking woman sitting on a
bed and she's like, hey.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
Yeah, hey, big boy, what are you wearing? I'm wearing plasuree.

Speaker 5 (10:27):
And then actually, like the picture is a beautiful woman,
but on the other end of the phone.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
It looks like me.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
Hey, so it's a little bit worse to talk to something.
They're both bad, Yeah, I mean, especially if your partner
doesn't like it. It's like, okay, if your partner doesn't
like it, then it's bad.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (10:43):
Right.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
She said that they hadn't been intimate. I don't know
how recent. Is it terrible, Like, is it terrible that
he's going to this? At least he is not physically
cheating with somebody else.

Speaker 5 (10:53):
I just think it's weird because this person is talking.
He's talking back and forth with somebody totally totally, which
seems to me.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
But I don't know.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
Maybe I'm a prude, Well you are, But I also
think that a lot of people who aren't prudes think
it's a little bit or a lot strange.

Speaker 5 (11:09):
Some text message says he's probably paying for it as
well Xbox more like six bucks
