AI Dating, Olympic Chaos & Boo or Cool: Relationship Advice Thursday

This week, Relationship Advice Thursday kicks off with a question straight out of the future: is it romantic—or creepy—if your partner runs every message through AI? Jineane Ford helps us unpack how to set boundaries, protect authenticity, and keep communication real in a digital world.

From there, we hit the ice with Boo or Cool: Olympic Edition, breaking down winter sports, Olympic village rumors, Team USA style, and a hilarious round of Olympic-themed pickup lines (results may vary).

Our Country News Minute brings updates on Reba McEntire’s wedding buzz, Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO’s milestones, and Tim McGraw’s tour news.

We close with a heartfelt bonus segment featuring Nathan from England, tackling how to support a partner after a major mistake—like losing a laptop full of unsynced work. It’s funny, honest, and full of practical advice for keeping relationships strong under pressure.

Morning Brew Sets The Stage

SPEAKER_01 0:00

From the Horn Auto Center Studios, Chris Bennett and the Morning Brew. It is now time for relationship advice with our relationship advice expert, Janine Ford. Hello, best friend.

SPEAKER_00 0:13

Hi, Chris. Hi, Chris.

SPEAKER_01 0:14

Hi, I'm not live in studio, but we're still gonna do some relationship advice. Are you ready? I am ready. All right, here we go. So I, 27-year-old female, have recently discovered that the guy I've been dating, 27, uh, for the past two months has been using Chat GPT for advice about our relationship. I don't mean like generic, mundane, day-to-day stuff. I mean he has literally been asking it for advice about everything I say or do, and asking it how to solve his own anxieties and concerns about us. Concerns of which, when I have asked him if he has any, he has flat out told me he doesn't. Which I know is a lie, Janine, because based off what he's written on ChatGPT, I don't use Chat GPT, so I immediately found this weird and a bit upsetting. I feel like all the things he's he's been saying and doing now have been coming directly from what AI has told him to do rather than off his own head. I feel weird about the whole thing, but I don't know if I'm being over-dramatic. Any thoughts? What are your thoughts? She wants to know, should she feel weird about the whole thing or is she being over-dramatic? What are your thoughts?

Is Using ChatGPT A Red Flag

SPEAKER_00 1:29

Yeah, she might be being a little over-dramatic, and I don't, I'm not crazy that she's a Snoopy and all that stuff. I mean, people Google things, they look on Chat GPT, that that type of thing. And and I'm wondering if she saw some stuff on there, kind of about herself, like he's saying, gosh, she's paranoid and she just follows me everywhere. You know, I'm wondering if she saw more that really irritated her. But the other thing she could do, they've only been dating two months. She might just fess up. I love, you know, but do it in a really sweet way. Hey, I looked at and I saw that you were uh what are your concerns? You know, that kind of thing. Maybe she goes that route and just says, Because I I haven't seen ChatGPT just, you know, go off on dumber, she's you know, I haven't I haven't seen that kind of I don't know. What are your thoughts on this one? It's kind of a hard one because it's it's new territory. It's new territory.

New Territory And Fair Expectations

SPEAKER_01 2:15

Here's the thing if ChatGPT didn't exist, he'd probably be going to a therapist and asking the therapist. But you can't go to the therapist all the time. No. So he's just asking for advice. And I don't think there's that old movie like uh uh was it Roxanne and then also the one with Gerard Deperdue, where basically someone uh taming of the shrew, where they basically you have someone feeding them the words, and then the person falls in love, but really they're in love with the um the hidden person, right? You know what I'm trying so that's kind of like what I think she feels, but Chat GPT is not a real person. No, the guy is putting in effort to try and be a good boyfriend.

SPEAKER_00 2:53

And he's yeah, and he's also trying to learn. You know, maybe he's awkward, super awkward, that it tells me that he might be, you know, that way and hang of anxiety himself, and so cut him a little slack with that. But if she's really concerned about it, you know, and maybe like I say, maybe there's something that came up when she's reading it that is about how do I handle my girlfriend that's following me everywhere? Yeah, yeah. It's like how do I follow her? She might have seen something like what if what if I feel like she's a stucker? What should I do? No, I'm just kidding.

Put The Phones Down, Build Real Bonds

SPEAKER_01 3:22

Well, and a lot of people are using Chat GPT on these dating apps, Janine. On like, here, can you give me the best pickup line? So I feel like uh you just got to to overcome all this stuff, you gotta spend time with real people when they're away from their device.

Country News Minute Highlights

Bonus Advice: Supporting After Mistakes

SPEAKER_01 7:34

Uh, meanwhile, Jelly Roll and Bunny XO are coming up on 10 years of marriage, and they're sharing their secret. Don't take life too seriously. Communicate and keep date night alive. Even if that date night is fried chicken and sneaking into a movie. Uh, sounds like some good relationship goals there. And now on to a big one, some concert news. Tim McGraw just announced his pawn shop guitar tour, and he's bringing the chicks and Lady A for three massive, massive stadium shows this summer. And he says, I dare you to find more hits in one night. Let's listen to a little Tim McGraw right now with Tim McGraw's Southern Voice on Q Country925. I'm Chris Bennett, and that was my country news minute. It is now time for a bonus relationship advice. Uh, we have a new brew crew member on the phone. It is Nathan from England. Is that right? That's right. Heck yeah. How long are you staying here in the White Mountains for? Oh, as long as I can. Awesome. Okay, well, Nathan, I'm gonna read this relationship advice request, and when we come back, we will get your advice for this person. Do you feel qualified for relationship advice?

SPEAKER_03 9:33

Yes, I do.

SPEAKER_01 9:34

What makes you qualified?

SPEAKER_02 9:35

That I'm married. That he's married.

SPEAKER_01 9:37

How long have you been married?

SPEAKER_02 9:39

I've been married for uh since April of last year now. Oh so less than one year?

SPEAKER_01 9:47

Less than one year. All right, okay, all right. I don't think you have enough relationship experience, but we'll let you be our advice expert. Here we go. This uh lady wants to know how do I, 40-year-old female, support my husband 50 after he did something dumb? Here's the deal. I'm struggling with how to support my husband after he did something super dumb. We've been together five years, work at the same company, and usually carpool with our young child. Yesterday, my husband left his work laptop on the top of the car when we left the office. This is something I've warned him about over and over because he does it all the time. This time, we actually drove off with it on the roof. Security checked the cameras, and sure enough, the laptop fell off in the parking garage. To make it worse, he admitted he had been working on a massive spreadsheet for months and had saved it locally on his desktop instead of the cloud. So all his work is gone. He's completely devastated, and I love him. So part of me wants to comfort him and tell him everything will be okay. But another part of me is thinking, dude, you ignored every warning. I don't want to say I told you so, but I also don't know how to balance empathy with accountability. So what would you do if your partner was heartbroken over their own bad choices? What is your advice?

SPEAKER_03 11:19

Honestly, the main thing to do is always listen. Always listen. Yeah, because if you don't listen, you know, you just repeat it. They're just gonna repeat it every every time.

SPEAKER_01 11:30

And uh so you don't say I told you so, you stupid idiot, and then listen? No. No, no, you just you just you just bite your tongue, and you just all you gotta do, bite your tongue. And listen, you know what? You've been married for less than a year, but Nathan, I have a feeling you're gonna be married for a long time. Very smart, very smart. His advice just listen when your partner is heartbroken over their bad choices, and just be there as a pillar of support. Is that right, Nathan? Yep. Heck yeah, Nathan. Well, thank you so much for being today's relationship advice expert on Q Cut. You're welcome 925.
