It's time for War of the Roses on jd WB.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
This may be the most unusual a suspicion arouser on
War the Roses in a long time.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
Yes, because yes, wait till you hear.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
And I don't want to laugh too hard at this one,
because it is serious because she Elizabeth is wondering whether
her boyfriend is seeing somebody else or or flirting with
somebody else or whatever.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
So Elizabeth, you're on War the Roses right now.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Tell me what, guys, Hi, Elizabeth has listened to War
the Roses since she was in middle school. So and
here you are to find out whether your boyfriend justin
might be up to something? What is going on? What
aroused your suspicion?

Speaker 3 (00:50):
Okay, so let me just kind of paint you the
picture and then you know, I'll go from there. So basically,
I was hanging out with my boyfriend other night and
then I kind of, you know, was just hanging out
all this thing, and then I end up going to
the bathroom. And then when I come out of the bathroom,

(01:10):
so he's sitting on the couch, and like you have
to kind of go around the couch, so you know,
it's I have carpet on my floor, so you can't
really hear me, and he couldn't hear that. I was
coming around the couch and I saw on his phone
He's texting like boats, like twenty boats, and I'm like,
what the happened now?

Speaker 1 (01:30):
And I'm looking, no, I want to ask you. So
were they photos of boats?

Speaker 3 (01:36):
No? No, no, sorry, they were like emojis. They were
like a bunch of twenty boat emojis looking around and
then he saw me. He quickly like turned off his phone,
and I was like, okay, I didn't say anything. I didn't.
I was just you know, throughout the intern and I
just kind of, you know, kept kept silent. And then

(01:57):
he left and then I'm just sitting are going what
what is this? Like? Yeah, why why was she texting
twenty boat emojis? And it kind of got me overthinking
and then I'm thinking, wait, hold on boat emojis. She's
I mean, she kept it like she kept it hidden too.
When I turned around, those are motor boat. That that's

(02:19):
what it means. It means motor boat basically.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
The craziest stretch again something. No, it's not as stretch.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Why would a guy, I guess send a bunch of
motor boat boat emoji?

Speaker 4 (02:32):
Yea yeah, and then cover it up when you walk back.
That's what that's what it.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Yeah, that's the icing on the cake.

Speaker 5 (02:37):
I'm guilty of overthinking, but I just it's a reach
for me.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
So you're thinking that he's motor boating somebody, or wants
to motor boat somebody or has motored, and so he
was send a bunch of like that's their inside joke.

Speaker 4 (02:49):
Yeah, I mean that's like sending the eggplant emoji with
the little like three droplets, right, But.

Speaker 5 (02:54):
Who would think eggplant universally stands forward?

Speaker 2 (02:57):
You know that?

Speaker 5 (02:58):
Who would think boat? Motive boat? Oh yeah, I'm gonna
send her twenty of these. You know, well, what else
would you be sending it for? Like maybe he's morning,
the fall coming and he can't take his boat out
on the lake.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
Oh maybe what.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
Do you what are you thinking? Elizabeth?

Speaker 3 (03:16):
No? I this is weird. I mean what else could
it be? Like there? And he keeps and he was
like really just he was like, oh my god. He
closed his phone really quickly. No, that that means motor boat?
What else could it be Dave, like what else? I
don't know. That's what it means. Twenty boat emoji.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
I am with you because I think all couples have
their little inside Joe, whether it's the poop emoji, whether
it's the water drop emoji, taco peach emoji. I mean
there might be one like you know, if you gave
somebody crabs, Yeah, you might do the crab the crab emoj.

Speaker 4 (03:51):
Or like the cat emoji, but specifically the cat that
looks like it did something like he he he, You
know that.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Camoji or the devil emoji exactly.

Speaker 5 (04:00):
So can I ask Jenny and Bailey and the ladies
in the room, has the boat emoji ever been used
in a with a conversation with a guy with you guys.

Speaker 4 (04:08):
Before, we don't have anything to motor boat someone with.

Speaker 6 (04:10):
So Jenny, no, I've never had that texted to me
or yeah, I mean I've been asked to have that done.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
Yeah, and you keep telling me no.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
And sometimes Now, what I don't mean to like laugh
at all this because the main reason you're calling is
because you're wondering whether he is up to something. So
what we can do is we can call him and
give him the whole you know, the setup, the ploy,
and see who he wants to send roses to. If
he chooses you, you know what we'll see if he'll

(04:41):
talk to us afterward and ask him to explain the
whole motor boat emoji anyway, because even if he chooses
you and he seems innocent, what was that? Or in
the meantime, text me and let me know what do
you think? Is there an innocent reason? Sure could be
maybe his brother got a boat. Maybe he's texting his brother.

(05:04):
Why do you hide it? Yeah, Okay, we'll come back
in a second. Make the phone call on KATIEWB. Spoiler alert,
someone's about to get exposed.

Speaker 4 (05:14):
Part two of Where the Roses starts right now on
one on one point three kat WB.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
I can totally picture this.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
She's they're watching TV on the couch, she gets up,
goes to the bathroom, and to get to the bathroom
you have to go around the end of the couch
behind the couch. Now she's coming back and she looks
at his phone and got a bunch of motor boat
emoji's high, which shows yeah, like who are.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
You sending those two? What is that all about?

Speaker 2 (05:40):
So she thinks she's figured it out, and he is
sending motor boat emojis.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
She's put on her detective hat. No decided what it means.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
Now, what does a motor boat emoji mean? Well, it
means motor boat, okay, I mean or does it? Or
maybe means congratulations on your new boat? Maybe into conclusion,
doubt it. Let's find out. We'll set a trap right now.
Can I call now and call now? Yes, call it
right now?

Speaker 3 (06:06):
Okay, how can.

Speaker 6 (06:10):
I take a Sorry to take up so much of
your time. I know I said to only take a
few minutes, and we're at about five right now, so
I appreciate that justin. But I do have a dozen
red roses to send out as a thank you. The
first thing I need from you, though, is who do
you want to send the roses to?

Speaker 3 (06:28):
Sure the name is Elizabeth.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
Perfect, We got those all set for Elizabeth.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
Great.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
I have I have a question for you that's gonna
kind of come out of the blue.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
And and and.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
What were you sending a bunch of motor boat emojis for?
Let me explain what's going on here? Yeah, I know
that's a good question. So my name's Dave. And that
was Jenny from The Dave Bryan Show. And we're not
from your phone company. There's no survey, there's certainly no
free roses, but we're trying to figure out who you
would send roses to if you want roses, because Elizabeth,

(07:10):
your girlfriend, called this and said, yeah, he's been acting
a little bit shady. She he was texting, well Elizabeth
is here. Yeah, I know, Elizabeth. I go ahead, Elizabeth.

Speaker 3 (07:21):
I just don't understand. I just don't understand why you
send those like boat emojis, and and it's just it's
so confusing to me, and you're not you kind of
kept it hidden to that. What's what is the mean?
What you call answer that the station too? I mean,

(07:44):
just what are you doing? What you can't answer the question?
Try to the question, try to set me up or
what question? What are you asking? I don't even know
what you're asking me right now, I'm like completely flabbergasted
this whole Okay, oh my god, all right, relax. I literally,
oh my god, I texted twenty boats emoji. It's like,

(08:06):
what doesn't that weird is with you? I can't believe this.
If I if I'm if I'm in the bathroom for
too long. You wonder why I'm in there. If I
walk outside, You're like, what were you doing outside? What's
going on? You're suspicious and paranoid constantly. I don't know

(08:28):
what the heck is going on with you? Like the question,
like the question you're asking. You're asking questions all the time,
and it doesn't matter because you're what you're asking is
like this cycle in your head. I don't know what.
Just answer that question?

Speaker 5 (08:48):
Well, she does?

Speaker 1 (08:49):
I mean there is you know.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
I don't want to like play mediator here, but but
I think your question is you know what were the
boats you were sending?

Speaker 1 (08:56):
She she saw you send.

Speaker 3 (08:57):
Like, I don't even remember. I don't don't even know what.
I overuse emojis sometimes, I don't know what.

Speaker 5 (09:06):
What If you open up your phone right now, you
haven't recently used emoji, so you'll probably see the boat
if you used it twenty times.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
Buddy, that's true. Okay, it sounds to me like this
already makes me kind.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
Of upset here, just the fact that.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
My phone and respond about about boat emojis. I'm not
talking about purple squash.

Speaker 5 (09:28):
You're just.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
You're just like squash.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
I know, I know what you're talking about, though, she
thought that might be interpreted as motor boat and motor
boat you and I know what that is. So her
suspicion was that you were motor boat like, yes, yeah,
that's that's that that is.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
So I'm telling you, I can be putting on my
shoes and take too long. It's like white taking so
long with your shoes? Did you you running around last night?
It's like, what do you mean? What are you running
to a house last night to go be with somebody?
What are you talking about? The imagination is insanity and
it's negative and it's you know, you know what. I'm

(10:12):
not doing this with you right now. I'm not sitting
here being People are coming at me being like, what's
going on with the boat emoji? Like, what the heck
is that? Why can't you answer the question? Then? Why
can't you answer the question? Didn't have to You shouldn't
have a simple answer. Why are you dyflecting?

Speaker 5 (10:31):
Right?

Speaker 3 (10:32):
That's not the point. You called the station right now
to trap me.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
This is because you're a hit.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
You're you're you know what, like you're you know what,
You're hang on. I'm gonna look right now. I'm gonna
look right now, okay, yeah, do that.

Speaker 5 (10:47):
All right?

Speaker 3 (10:48):
I want like, I just want an answer.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
Sure, sure, Sure, what did you say?

Speaker 3 (10:52):
Okay, my buddy Steve, who's going through that that thing
was at work. You're thinking he's gonna get fired. I
was telling him, you start your own business, you don't
got to worry about it. Smooth sailing. I didn't use
a sailboat emoji, and he kept on saying things, and
I just started pushing.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
The boat emoji.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
It was actually supposed to be a sailboat, but I
accidentally just pushed the motor boat emoji.

Speaker 6 (11:18):
You remember that story pretty quickly, but you couldn't remember
why you use the boat emoji. That's yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
I gotta tell you, I don't think i've ever send
a friend of mine like a boat emoji like smooth sailing.
I think the guy's lying, And a lot of people
on texting agree this guy. This text says, this guy's
far too defensive. He's definitely cheating. Please call these guys
out for gas lighting. They need to hear it. He's lying.
I'm calling bs. This one says she's the one cheating. Oh,

(11:50):
we got Katie on the phone, who actually has I
think a connection with the motor boat emoji.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
Katie, what's your story?

Speaker 3 (11:57):
Well, mine happened to be after about midnight, but it
came with an eggplant, came with a.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
What egg with an eggplant? And who was this from?

Speaker 3 (12:11):
Somebody trying to side in?

Speaker 5 (12:16):
Yeah, I just I've never seen that boat emoji and
thought that. I thought when she said it it was
a stretch.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (12:22):
If I if someone texted me about emoji, I'd be like,
sweet it, we're going out on Tonca.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
Know I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (12:29):
Insecurity comes in a lot of ways, and if you
don't look, you won't find it.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
That you know, that's kind of true.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
I think that sometimes you get very insecure because you've
been cheated on a lot before. So now everything it's
like you're scared of dogs. You got bit by a
dog when you were six years old. Now every dog
looks like huh.

Speaker 6 (12:48):
But Katie, didn't you just say that you got those
emojis with an eggplant? And so they were definitely insinuating
something sexual.

Speaker 3 (12:54):
They were insinuating that. But at the same time, if
she wasn't looking at his phone, she might not seen it.
And one of his innocent but a man trying to
send motor boats to another man.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
Yeah, yeah, I agree. It is just kind of weird.
I feel like since.

Speaker 4 (13:08):
One such a strange like stimp stipulation, you can't send
boats to another man. It's an emoji, it's a little picture.

Speaker 6 (13:16):
Well if that's if that's the truth, he was really
sending it to his buddy.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
The only reason I would send it to another guy
is if I got a boat that's nicer than his,
and I would want to rub it in because this
is what friends do with each other. You'd be like, oh,
your boat is a seventeen foot four winds.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
Mine is huge? What a joke. It's always like my speaker,
mine is bigger. Yeah, thanks Katie, have a good day.
