The Bert Show.

All right, Cosmo Call. Melissa, try to explain what Cosmo Call is all about because I don't know that we've done this early before. Exactly. Well, it's a way, and the best way to explain is the first one we ever did. It's just a way to find that information indirectly. There was a woman that had called before who wanted to date someone within her office. But she was afraid to approach this guy because she wasn't sure whether he felt the same way about her. And of course, in an office environment, if you make

the move and it's not reciprocated, it's going to be awkward from then on out. So the easiest way

to do it is to call us, and then Jen pretends to be someone from a major woman's magazine calling

to do research for a quiz.

And so Jen called the guy and asked him how he felt about inner office relationships.

And through the course of Jen's questioning to him, we were able to find out while the woman was on the phone listening that he, you know, was interested in her too.

So we started a romance.

So it's kind of a way to, you know, again, find that information without damaging, you know, something, yeah, yeah, forget the lesson. We're all on a roll today.

So what we do is we generally record these and then we wait a week to play it because the person

has the information and we give them a week to kind of figure out what they want to do with the information. Then we go ahead, we play the Cosmo call and we get an update from the person on the air. But we got a frantic virtual listener calling up this morning saying, you know, that Cosmo call that we did last week, I got to talk to you guys about it. Now, I wasn't here, and Jen and Jeff apparently recorded it. So what we're going to play, I haven't heard yet. Yeah, I think, and Jen, could I be mistaken, but I think this is the best Cosmo call ever recorded. I mean, I'm sure it has nothing to do with you not being there. But I think that the setup and the delivery of the person and putting the whole thing together and kind of wrapping it up in a bow was fantastic. Would you agree?

Well, my guess is if you let it, it's 45 minutes long, so we're not going to get out of it until 8 o'clock this moment. Yeah, this is the lesson we'll do this morning. We'll see you tomorrow. Bye-bye. Hopefully Tracy edited it. Well, it was actually uneventful, which you'll get to hear here, but the woman who called us up was concerned about her current boyfriend having a previous engagement, not an appointment, actually an engagement where he gave a woman a ring in the past because she had stumbled upon his name in an article on the internet, which was from this other bride's town announcing the engagement.

You know how people put engagement announcements in the paper.

Well, she came across one that has his name in it.

And it was around kind of the same town where he grew, like where he grew up.

So she's thinking, wait a minute.

Was he engaged before and uh you know and didn't

ever tell me about it so we kind of tried to do some investigation but didn't turn up with much so

i'm interested to find out why she's calling us and wants to talk to us and she's already on the phone

she's on hold ready to talk so let's play cosmo call and then in a couple of minutes we'll talk to

Shannon sounds good

it's jeff and Play Cosmo call and then in a couple of minutes we'll talk to Shannon. Sounds good.
