Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Jordan is on the phone today for to catch a cheater,
and he thinks that his girlfriend of five years named
Alyssa might be messing around. So we'll see if we
can help him out. But before we make our phone
call to see if she's cheating, Jordan, what's up? Why
do you think your girlfriend's cheating on you?

Speaker 2 (00:14):
I think that she's messing around with pickleball Paul.

Speaker 3 (00:18):
Who's not again, who's that?

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Well? So so a better. A month ago, her company
moved her a few states away, and so we've been
doing long distance and it's been challenging, but you know,
we're trying to get through it. And so she joined
this pickleball league and she made this new friend, Paul,
and that's that's fine. Like I you know, make jokes

(00:44):
calling him pickleball Paul. And I was just glad that
she was making friends. But now I'm starting to get
worried about it.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Okay, what makes you worry?

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Now?

Speaker 3 (00:55):
What's what's changed?

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Well, it's just like I mean, at first, it was fine,
and you know, she makes new friends, but like now
I'm seeing on social and just we're talking that they're
hanging out all the time and they're going to the
park on weekends, they go off the drinks, they go
to the club like everything. Yeah, so she, I mean
she she always says that they're just friends when I

(01:17):
ask about them, but I'm I'm starting to think.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
It's not because she's just like always hanging out with
pickleball Paul.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
Now yeah, yeah, all the time.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
All right, Well, okay, we'll see if we can help
be I mean, is there anything else that's gone on
other than the fact that now she lives long distance
and she's been hanging out with this guy from her
pickleball Larry league.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
I just I just feel like we haven't been connecting
as much and communicating as much. You know, you just
get that feeling. It's like if she was like hanging
out with people and having a good time, like that's
one thing, but like you also feel it on your
end too in the situation. You know, it's like, I
feel like our connection is weakening, and I see it, okay,

(02:03):
getting stronger over there. So like I'm just I'm getting
that gut feeling.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
Sure.

Speaker 4 (02:08):
I mean, I feel like I would be alarmed too
if my partner were spending all this time with somebody else,
especially if his name is Pickleball Paul.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
So, well, if you're just joining us for today's to
Catch a Cheater. Jordan is on the phone and he
thinks that his girlfriend of five years named Alyssa might
be cheating. So we're about to call her and pretend
to be from the grocery store that she's a rewards
card member at and say that every month we choose
one lucky Rewards member who gets a free gift from us,
and this month it's a Thinking of You gift box,

(02:35):
and we'll see if she sends it to her boyfriend
Jordan or to somebody else. But before we do that, Jordan,
why don't you break down why you thinks she's cheating?

Speaker 3 (02:42):
Again? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Again? Like, there's this guy that I call Pickleball Paul,
and like, you know, since we've been doing long distance,
I just see her like constantly posting that she's hanging
out with him, and I'm just like getting this feeling
from my end that like, you know, she's that they're
more than just friends. I just I just want to
figure this out, yeah for sure.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
All Right, Well here we go. I'm gonna doll her
phone number right now. Okay, all right, all right, Hello, Hi,
This is Corby calling from grocers. I was looking for
our rewards card member named listener.

Speaker 5 (03:23):

I'm actually calling to say congratulations here this month's winter.
Thank you so much for shopping with us. Everybody's plat
beforeying off. I hope you can hear it. Oh cool, Yeah,

no purchase necessary. It's just a free gift from us.
I can take the information down in just a few
minutes over the phone who you want to send them to.
You're also, of course welcome to come down to the
store and fill out the paperwork in our customer service area.

Whatever is easier for you.

Speaker 6 (04:34):
Oh okay, yeah, no, I think I know who I
want to send it to.

Oh great, well, then we can do this really quick here.
It just takes a few minutes.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
And like I said, you'll get confirmations on everything before
we're even done. And all I would need from you
first would be the first and last name of the
person you want to send them to, and then if
you want to put anything on a card along with it,
and after that I'll get the address and that's it.

Speaker 5 (04:57):
Oh okay, Yeah, his name is Paul p A. U. L.

Speaker 6 (05:19):
Okay? How about this? Don't laugh. You may not be
number one on the court, but your number one in my.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
Heart on the court, No one in my heart absolutely,
I can put that on the card for you. Also,
at this point I should let you know that this
is actually a radio show. It's called the Jebel Show.

Speaker 5 (05:42):
I'm whoa wait, I'm sorry, so I didn't win this thing.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
No, it's a radio show called the Jubile Show.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
Hi, I'm Nina, Hey Victoria.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
And my name is Jubal And we do a segment
on the show that's called to Catch a Cheater, where
if you think your significant others messing around, you see
they send flowers to and that's your boyfriend Jordan.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
On the phone.

Speaker 6 (06:02):
Yeah, Hi, Oh what the hell Jordan?

Speaker 5 (06:07):
Like, what the actual you called a radio station just
to see if I might be cheating?

Speaker 7 (06:13):
What you called the radio station? You just tried to
send him a card that said that he's your number one. Yeah,
you moved away. We're trying to do long distance. You
start playing pickleball with this guy and now suddenly you're
hanging out with him everywhere and you don't have time
for me anymore.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
Okay.

Speaker 7 (06:34):
I've been trying to give you the space that you need.
We talked every day for a week and then then nothing.
Then it is like point trying to talk to you.

Speaker 6 (06:45):
Oh my god, I.

Speaker 5 (06:46):
Still cannot believe you went around me to a radio
station to hash this out. But I will just say.

Speaker 6 (06:52):
Paul has been there for me so much more than
you have.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
In the next month. Oh okay, so you are cheating.

Speaker 5 (07:01):
I mean, listen, you guys don't even know how hard
this move has been. I moved to a new city
with no friends, no family, a stressful job.

Speaker 6 (07:11):
You said you were fine, and now now you're like
so suspicious and paranoid of everything. Like who are you
hanging out with? Is it a girl?

Speaker 7 (07:20):
A guy?

Speaker 2 (07:20):
Yes, without actually saying it.

Speaker 7 (07:22):
And by the way, you have no idea how hard
this has been for me. You left to go live
in a new place, But did you ever think about
the friend that I'm just sitting here holding the bag
for you?

Speaker 5 (07:33):
Listen, when I do try to connect with you, Jordan,
you don't even answer my calls or my text and
this whole silent treatment not a good look.

Speaker 6 (07:42):
Okay, what would you do if you were me?

Speaker 3 (07:44):
So you are our cheating?

Speaker 6 (07:52):
No comment?

Speaker 3 (07:53):
Well, no comment is saying that you are.

Speaker 6 (07:57):
I did not say that. I just said no comment.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
But it's the same thing.

Speaker 5 (08:06):
It's really sad that you a called me a cheater
and be doing it on the radio.

Speaker 6 (08:12):
Are you kidding me?

Speaker 3 (08:13):
You haven't denied it though.

Speaker 5 (08:15):
Yeah, listen, Jordan, if you really truly wanted to be
part of my life, you would have moved out here
with me. Remember I asked you multiple times and you
were like no, and I.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
Wanted you to stay. Okay, we had a life here together,
but it wasn't good or you wasn't.

Speaker 6 (08:35):
No, actually it was not, and you've made that very clear.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
So just wrap this in a nice bow. Just admit
that you've cheated on me.

Speaker 6 (08:46):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 5 (08:47):
I cannot believe you were still trying to accuse me
of being a cheater and you guys on the radio like.

Speaker 6 (08:55):
This is static.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
Did you cheat or not?

Speaker 6 (08:58):
I am not. I'm not. I already said I'm not
answering as.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
Bye okay, cool, Bye? What are we supposed to think?
That sounds like a cheater to me?

Speaker 1 (09:06):
Definitely Jordan's She hung up, So I don't know. That
sounds very cheating to me.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
Yeah, that's all the confirmation I need. Like that was crazy,
That was that was insane. She just she was just
so obsessed with being called a cheater, but didn't offer anything.

Speaker 4 (09:23):
Yeah, And honestly, it sounds like your relationship ended when
she chose to leave and you chose to stay. So
I'm sorry that it ended this way, but I just
this is probably for the best for both of you.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
It is, like, honestly, I like, obviously this didn't go
hold on. Yeah, she just sent me a picture of
her with pickleball Paul and said suck on this.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
So who no, So
