I don't know. And she's just been really distant lately.

And when you say distant, she was never like this before? She was never one that wouldn't communicate with you?

No.

What is going on in your relationship? Is there anything going on right now? Like, any stressful thing going on?

Well, she's been out of the country for a little bit. So that added some strain for sure.

What is she doing out of the country? um she was there for school oh so you guys were long distance relationship uh

that's tough in itself yeah for a couple months so when you say distant like she doesn't want to talk she doesn't want to do things your sex life is different like what specifically is it that's

kind of making you raise your eyebrow she just hasn't been wanting to or even just like kiss or anything like that it's just like it's specifically like over the last month it's

just been really distant and before this problem that you guys are dealing with right now things

were were good between the two of you guys yes we never had a problem with that i mean it could

just be that that's a relationship you know what i mean i mean there's a lot of times relationships go through it do you have anything that might tell you that she is cheating on you and maybe just not it just sounds like she's not maybe interested it's just such like a shift like

before she left and then she came back and then just like trying to get back to normal it's not it's not been easy it's just been it feels like it's like a different person

did she go with people that she knew from school yeah okay um do you think that she's having a

relationship with any of those i mean i've thought about it but i hope not other than this trip have

they spent a lot of time together yeah still even after they've come back yeah any one of her people that she goes to school with that you think that she's cheating with

no not i mean i guess there's like one person but i'm just going off like honestly but it feels like something is up she doesn't want to spend time with me she wants to spend time with you know all these people from school so it feels weird all right

we're gonna call her up and we're gonna do war of the roses we're gonna see where she's gonna to send a dozen free roses and we hope that she sends them to emily mute your phone so she doesn't get it any kind of thoughts that there's somebody else on the phone line or suspicious that this is kind of a weird phone call okay all right mute it right now and shannon will do the call it's mojo in the morning war of the roses

hello hi is this danielle danielle yeah hi hi my name's nicole i'm calling from an online floral company called rosesbloom.com i don't know if you have like 30 seconds to uh take a quick two question survey i'm sorry i'm not interested. It's a totally free offer. I'm not a telemarketer. It's a free offer. It's a marketing campaign to just spread the name about our business. Do you have somebody that you want

to send flowers to today? Totally for free? Sorry. I'm really dizzy right now. You said it's 30

seconds? It's 30 seconds. Yep. Let me just ask you the questions, okay? Sure. Okay. Have you purchased flowers in the last six months, Danielle? Yes. Okay. And do you plan on

purchasing flowers in the next six months uh not necessarily no okay that's all i need from you

and as a thank you for participating in that survey rosesbloom.com we're now authorized to provide you just so you know what you're getting it's a dozen long-stemmed red roses they're going to be shipped out today and they can be shipped out to the person of your choice anywhere in the country and um i just want to go ahead and get a first and a last name and i'll get some more info

from you after that um it doesn't work okay uh really this is free totally free yep i'm not

going to ask you for any like any information except for who these are going to okay um

i guess uh uh leona

okay and the last name okay and what is her phone number

is that an intern is that a international number oh yeah uh can i can i send internationally

Is that an option? What country are these going to?

It's in Prague.

Okay, I'm going to check on that. Let me keep going and then I'll check on that in just a second, okay? What is her relationship to you?

We're friends.

Okay, and Red Roses is okay?

Yeah, that sounds great.

okay um danielle instead of a paper card if i can get these flowers out we're gonna do i'm gonna send a voice memo with the flowers so essentially leona will get a text message alerting her that she has a delivery and then she'll be able to play this voice note that i'm gonna record with you here in just a second does that make sense uh yeah okay so i'm gonna count you down and you

can say whatever you want. Three, two, one. Hey, I'm just thinking about you. The sun is shining. Just like when we were together. All right. See you soon. Okay. And Danielle,

I have to also let you know that this call is being recorded for quality and training

purposes are you okay with that uh yeah okay danielle i'm going to jump on uh just to see if we can verify whether or not we can send those internationally i don't know if we're going to be able to uh okay so i'm going to just let you know that we'll figure something out but i do need to let you know one last thing okay and then we'll and then we'll figure out how we can get you these these flowers. I wanted to let you know that while you were sending these flowers off that your girlfriend Emily was listening in to this call and just heard you send flowers to another girl, to another woman. Great.

All right. So she's listening right now?

Emily is listening and just heard you send those flowers off to somebody that I think she was a little bit worried that you were getting close to.

You know, this is just feels a little extreme. Well, being extreme is also not telling me anything that happened and not being honest with me.

Danielle, is there something?

more than just a friendship going on between you and who you wanted to send these flowers to?

I mean, yeah. Yeah, I met someone. But, like, it's just, it's it's barely innocent. We obviously don't hang out anymore. she's a frog but you're still thinking about her we're just chatting yeah we just talk

are you planning on staying in a relationship here

I've been on the fence and I you know I haven't really thought it all the way through and like I you know I'm thinking about and being it because we just don't think we're getting along right now. Okay. I don't really want to... Can we hang up?

Why don't I do this? I'm going to put you guys on hold. And I'll give you the option, Emily, of whether or not you want to talk to her off the air. And then we'll give you guys a moment, okay? Hold on one second.

This is the home of War of the Roses. Mojo in the Morning.
