Megan is on the phone today for to catch cheater and she thinks that her husband Sam of five years might be cheating. So in a few minutes, we're going to see if we can catch him if he is. Hopefully he's not, but Megan what's going on? Why do you think he's cheating?

3:05Yeah, so like you said, we've been married for five years and like we have a good marriage and I feel like he still dots on me and like tries to say that he loves me most days. And we try and you know, spend time together every night and watch a show or something to check in. I don't know, I feel like I missed the days when we could just do anything we wanted so busy with work and I just feel like maybe he's not missing that and looking for something better. And the thing that's kind of different is he's just been working constantly lately. And a thing about my husband is that he just like hates his phone. He hates dealing with his phone and he's like not a big texture. He barely texts me and we're married. And you know, he's never been one to like scroll endlessly, but just recently he has constantly been on his phone texting like for hours.

4:06And again, he is never on his phone, so it's just like a huge ship. Like I can't pry the phone from him. And yeah, so I like I keep asking him, like who is he talking to and his answer is just always like someone to work or it's about work. And at this point, you know, I've like I've asked him several times so I can understand why he might be annoyed. But I just like really don't understand the shift and you know, at one point and like this is where like I just feel like. And he was texting someone named Luna and I was kind of like who's that and he just like kept insisting that it was a girl from work. And it's you know just about some projects they're working on, but he's it's odd like he never worked from things that way. And I feel really guilty about it, but I did try and do on his phone and he has a pass code on there now, which he's never had before.

5:08And I like I didn't even know he knew how to make a pass code. So I want to believe him, but I just I don't know what's like he makes a full smirk when he's texting sometimes. But he doesn't realize what he's doing and it just like really is making me second guess everything. Yeah, that's kind of shape. I don't like that from not having a pass code to having one. I mean, okay, so devil's advocate like do you know about what he's working on at work? Does it all of a sudden require endless amounts of effort? Not really. And that's when I'm like, okay, I don't really understand. He's like I again, I've like asked him a lot about it and he's dressed out and he's kind of like I don't want to like talk about it right now. So that is kind of a red flag right now for me. Megan is on the phone and she thinks that her husband Sam of five years might be cheating. So in a second, we're going to call him and pretend to be from the grocery store that he's a rewards card member and say that every single month we choose one rewards card member who gets the gift of free flowers delivered from our

6:09floral department absolutely free and we'll see if he sends those flowers to his wife Megan or to somebody else. But before we do that, Megan, why don't you catch everybody up on your situation? Yeah, so my husband usually is not a big phone guy and it's just been very recently that he's sort of been glued to his show. He's been constantly texting and he says that it's for work all the time and I asked him. I've been asking him a lot like what's it about? He's very cagey about it and I looked over and he was texting someone named Luna who I don't know. And he said that there's just someone from work and they've been talking about a work project and it's just a big shift and I'm like him and I don't feel good about it. But I did try and snoop and he put a password on his phone, which I even have before and I was sort of shocked that he knew how to even pass it.

7:09So like not into the phone usually. Yeah. So that's kind of why I'm a little suspicious. I'm just kind of want to get to the bottom of this. Okay, here we go. Hello, hey, this is Corboh calling from I was looking for a rewards card member named Sam. Yeah, this is Sam. Sam, hi, how are you? Please don't hang up. This is not a marketing phone call. I'm actually calling to tell you congratulations. You're this month's big winner. Okay, I'm confused. What is this? Every single month we choose one rewards card member who gets free flowers delivered from our floral department. You just won 36 long stem red roses. Wow. No, I did not know that. That's awesome. And a card to be delivered to anybody that you want. That's that's so cool. I can take the information down in a matter of minutes over the phone. If you don't know who you want to send them to right now, I can call you back. I can set up a time to do that.

8:11Now it's fine. First, I would just need the first and last name of the person you'd like to send the flowers to. Megan. Okay, anything you want to put on a card there. Oh, is that your wife? Yeah, I know it's the last name. My wife. You ever think of jumping ship ever after that long? Never. And can we just do the flower thing? No, actually, we can't because this is actually the Jubles show. It's a radio show. My name's Jubal. Hi, I'm Nina. Hi, I'm Victoria. Hi, what we do a segment on our show called to catch a cheater where if you suspect here, significant other might be fooling around. We can see you. They send flowers to and if they send them to somebody else, then it's a way of telling and your wife Megan is actually on the phone. What? Sorry. What is going on? I don't get it. What do you think I'm cheating on you? Well, I just feel like you've been texting so much. I just feel like you're like, you usually don't even use your phone and I tried to unlock it and you added a past code and it's like every time you're on your phone, you're like, murking when you're texting that woman Luna from work or whatever.

9:26Oh, boy. But the Luna is Luna is an AI bot. It's a new AI thing. My co-workers told me about it. It's not real. She said, you just you cat with them and talk to them and you can tell them your problems and it's like a very sophisticated AI. So it's very embarrassing and I hate that I am doing it. But I just need to come into talk to and I've been stressed out and I don't I don't my friends. I mean, I friends anymore. They they all have kids and they're all busy and I just I just feel completely lost right now. So I thought maybe this is something I could fix on my own without having to, you know, get me help or anything. And so when it's kind of a cool thing. It's like I can vent. I don't have to bore her with work. I have questions. I'm sorry that you're feeling that way. But is AI Luna more of like an AI therapist or like an AI girlfriend? More like a therapist, honestly. I don't know. It's the bad. I understand. I understand and like I'm glad that you're honest about this and I feel like we can obviously work through this. And I'm sorry that you're feeling this way.

10:39Like I usually like you don't have to go and talk to you but a shake robot. It's so dumb. I get it. When you say it out loud, I don't know. It's just I got in over my head with it. I was just like this will work and now it feels like when I say it out loud, it sounds really ridiculous. I think you need to say by the Luna. I think I will play. Yeah. Yeah. I can see you occupied. She's a little bit of a tramp. At least you know he's not cheating. But yeah, I'm in person. Megan, do you mind hearing about the stuff that Sam wants to talk about? No. I mean, I know what they're saying. I think it's not a board. You could save you for my boring, boring dumb stories. I want to be connected to you though. I think like we need to just like talk to work about like taking some like a week off and just like. This is so easy. I thought this would be way more difficult figuring this out. And thank you for being understanding.

11:41Are there any questions? Like take a trick somewhere? Yes, absolutely. I'll take time to take time off work anyway. Let's try to find that sparking it because I know it's there. Yeah. Let's do it. Okay. Maybe you can ask Luna where she thinks. Oh, man. I'm never going to live the day. Probably not. The Jewel shows to catch a cheater. I survived nine months in captivity.
