I feel numb and dead inside.

Jury Duty Call Gets Vacated

SPEAKER_00 0:02

I hello best friends. It's me, Chris Bennett, and today we have a juicy show for you today. We got relationship a drama, questionable advice, and a situation where someone literally asked how to get their boyfriend to cheat on them. We've got Janine Ford weighing in. Joe G from Horn Auto Center is in studio. Plus, we play quote it or blow it. Joe takes on Kendra and our best friend Dave Ramsey from here in Sholo. And yes, we even find out if I have jury duty today. So let's get it started. All right, best friends. I got a jury summons uh for jury duty today. Uh it's at eight o'clock. And uh I have to call and find out if we indeed do have jury duty today. We're gonna find out uh if we have a uh show today or not. Let's find out together. Here we go.

SPEAKER_02 1:00

Thank you for calling the show no jury information line. The jury trial scheduled for April 23rd and 24th has been vacated. Yeah, baby!

SPEAKER_00 1:10

On April 24th.

unknown 1:12

Thank you. Have a great day.

SPEAKER_00 1:13

Come on, baby! That's right! We got a show no jury duty for me. The morning brew goes on. Heck yes. Chris Bennett and the morning brew. Janine, you there?

SPEAKER_03 1:26

Yes, I am. Good morning, Chris.

SPEAKER_00 1:27

Good morning, good morning, good morning. I almost wasn't here this morning.

SPEAKER_03 1:31

I know. You were you were gonna be called a jury duty, and you you asked me, you said, should I should I go? Should I call? Yes.

SPEAKER_00 1:38

Yes, it's my civic duty.

SPEAKER_03 1:40

And then they kicked you out?

SPEAKER_00 1:41

No, no. You I you're supposed to call and find out if there is gonna be uh a jury today, and they said it's been vacated. So heck yeah, and I have recording of it too, so it's a very cool. And then uh I have a friend Joe G joining me in studio today.

SPEAKER_03 1:59

Oh, Joe G, how are you? I'm good, Janine. How you doing? Good to hear from you. Yes, yes.

SPEAKER_00 2:04

Yeah, so uh we thought we'd touch base with you for relationship advice Thursday, and I got a juicy one for you. You ready? I'm ready. All right, this girl wants to know how can I, 20-year-old female, make my boyfriend, 21-year-old male, cheat on me? Okay, here's the I know this sounds dumb, but I really need help. I'm 20 and I've been with my boyfriend for over three years, and last week I tried to break up with him and he basically refused. He keeps convincing me to stay, and I don't have it the heart to hurt him anymore. But the truth is, I don't want to be in this relationship and I feel stuck. I don't want to cheat on him, and I don't want to be the bad guy, but I also don't know how to get on out of this. I'm hoping he I could just get him to cheat on me so I have a reason to break up with him. Or do you have other ideas on how I could get him to lose interest in me? Like, how do I get him to be the one who ends this? I know it sounds ridiculous, but I don't know what else to do. Is there a way to make him fall out of love with me and cheat on me? Or am I just completely wrong? What's your advice?

SPEAKER_03 3:16

Oh, she's just dumb. Yeah. No, no, you just yeah, don't bring more filth into it. Just be uh put your big girl panties on, be, be, you know, be tougher than this and just tell him, I am so sorry this is over. And and you know, it is, it's hard to break up with somebody, that kind of thing, but you don't turn to something just you know nasty like that and try to contrive something and make it his fault. You're just passing the buck. Just, you know, do it. Just you have to do it. You have to just say. And I used to, my, my, look at me, my big thing was, it's me. I I just I feel numb and dead inside. I just can't, I can't go forward with this anymore. I'm so sorry, you're a great friend, but I'm it's just not here for me. I am so sorry. And just break it off. Yeah. I'm numb and dead. No, I'm just dead inside. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 4:03

What's your advice, Joji? Well, how old is this girl? She's 20. And he's 21. They've been together for three years. Yeah. Well, maybe she should have her dad or her brother do it.

SPEAKER_01 4:11

Oh. No, she's dead enough. She's no, she's she's too scared.

SPEAKER_03 4:16

Yeah, she's too scared and she's tried it before. Blow up. Sorry. Get strong. You know, you just have to do this. If if you're strong enough to be in a relationship and you are in a relationship with somebody, but you know, kind of blame yourself to say, I'm sorry, it's me. I I'm just not here. I'm numb. We can be great friends, but it's I'm not in this anymore.

SPEAKER_00 4:34

So you don't think she tries to get one of her sisters or one of her friends to hit on him? No, no.

SPEAKER_03 4:41

No, but you said passing the buck. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 4:44

Put on her big girl panties. What do big girl panties look at?

SPEAKER_03 4:47

Just be a man. Be a man, okay? Just throw that whatever it is. I don't know. Pull up your leotards. I don't know what it is. But you have to get strength. You need to learn these things if you're old enough to be in a relationship. You can tell somebody, hey, and she's not lying when she says, hey, it's me. I'm kind of numb inside. I'm I'm done with this. And I'm so sorry I can be your friend. I adore you, but it's just not working out for me. Okay. Yeah.

Vacation With A Guy Friend

SPEAKER_00 9:07

Oh, okay. What about you, uh Dave? The Accountant Part 2. The Accountant Part 2? Not part one. I've never even heard of that movie. Was it uh did it have sound and color? Yeah, it starred Ben Affleck. Oh, okay, awesome. I think it's like an action movie, right, Dave? Oh, yes, I know what he's talking about. First one sucked. The second one's way better.

It is now time for a bonus relationship advice on this relationship advice Thursday with relationship advice expert Joe G. That's right. What makes you qualify to be a relationship advice expert? Uh, I've been married for 25 years. There you go. That's all you need. Yeah, did you have a lot of relationships before you found the love of your life? Uh yeah, I don't know about to find a lot. It reminds me of that uh scene from uh Goodfellas where Joe Pesci's like, I meet a lot of good women, uh, and then Ma, I settle down every night, but in the morning I'm free.

SPEAKER_01 10:16

I love you.

SPEAKER_00 10:18

All right, here we go. I'm gonna read the story and we'll get your advice. Here's the headline. Uh, my male 29-year-old girlfriend, 30, wants to go spend a week on vacation with a male friend. All right, here we go. I'm 29. I've been dating my girlfriend for about eight months. She's planning a three-week trip to Australia to see a group of friends I actually know pretty well. So I had no issue with that. But a couple days ago, she tells me uh that after that, she's flying to another city to spend an entire week staying with the guy friend. Just the two of them. The whole time before this, she told me she was just grabbing lunch with an old high school friend. Now, suddenly it's a one-on-one week-long trip with a guy I've never heard of before. I trust her and I've never had an issue with her having guy friends, but this feels like a line being crossed. So I told her she can go, but I'm out. Now she says she'll cancel the trip, but honestly, I don't know if that even matters anymore. Am I overreacting or is this a red flag?

SPEAKER_01 11:22

So I never met the guy.

SPEAKER_00 11:24

No, no, no. I've never met the guy. He's never met the guy. I didn't even know the guy existed. She was going for three weeks to Australia, and then all of a sudden, one of the weeks, she's gonna be without her friends and just alone one-on-one for a week with this dude. Is he gay? Uh that was not mentioned in this.

SPEAKER_01 11:40

No, you go on your trip, go ahead, go see your friend. That's fine. When you get back, I won't be here, neither will your stuff.

SPEAKER_00 11:46

Ooh, okay. So you don't think he's overreacting? That's basically what he said. He said, it's over.

SPEAKER_01 11:51

Absolutely. You go stay over a week with some dude. Okay, I'm gonna go stay with some girl that I used to date a long time ago for a week.

SPEAKER_00 11:58

How do you like that? How do you like them, apples? All right, Joe G says you are not overreacting. This is definitely a red flag. Or in uh Mexico, it'd be called Flag Day Roja. Rojo.

SPEAKER_02 12:11

Yeah, Roha.
