  Speaker 1: Judge and Rich Brandon.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Hey, John Day, what's going on?
• 0:04
  Speaker 3: It just says on the phone screen, Here says Brandon,
• 0:06
  Speaker 3: and this is advice.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: So do you need advice? Are you giving us advice?
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: No, I need you have's advice because y'all have always
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: you always have great advice. Leave it or not, you
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: always seem to pull through. My wife is talking about
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: leaving me. She wants to leave me, and she wants
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: to talk to another guy. And I don't even know
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: where to start with this because we have a nine
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: month old and you know, it's it's a tough situation
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: and not to be a buzzkill, but I need some help.
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: When she said she wants to leave you, was it
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: an open ended conversation? Because I would almost kind of
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: think if she said that and she already has somebody
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: else in mind?
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Did she not just go?
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: Or were you like, hey, can we please work on this?
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: I asked her, can we please work on this? She
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: was very like, I'm confused. I need to see him.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: I need to talk to him. It was a guy
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: that she had talked to briefly her last year at
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: this time, and he tends to reach out to her
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: in the most random ways. She's had him blocked on everything. Well,
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: he went through Venmo to message her and sent her
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: money and to get her attention, and it just seems
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: like as soon as he gets her attention, she goes
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: back to him.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: What do you said? It was a year ago? Were
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: you guys married a year ago?
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: We were married a year ago?
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: There was a part where she did she just she
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: didn't feel the same with the marriage a year ago.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: And maybe that was pregnancy hormones with something of that sort,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: but it was just it was a tough time in
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: our relationship and seemed to have gotten through it more.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: And I've worked on the things that she wanted me
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: to work on, and I felt like she has worked
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: on the things that I wanted her to work on.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it seems like this guy just he keeps
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: popping up and Franton's running right back to him.
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: What's her issue with you in the marriage? What did
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: she want you to work on?
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Mainly to be more to be more present. I tend
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: to I work in a at a company that's a
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: twenty four to seven business, so there's I get phone
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: calls all day, you know, all day, all night. But
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: I do you know, I do it for her and
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: I do it for our little one. So that was
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: her main thing, was being more present and putting the
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: phone down. And I've I've done my best to do that.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: So do you think that he, like this other guy,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: is giving her that attention or he's easily accessible? Like
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: what is it that he's bringing to the table that makes.
• 2:49
  Speaker 7: Her want to go to her?
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: She makes her feel wanted, and I feel like I
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: do as well. I've always told her how beautiful she
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: I think she is. I tell her every morning, I
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: write her notes, I bring home flowers.
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: I tried to show her how I see her through
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: my eyes, and she just seems to be as soon
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: as he says hey to her, it seems like all
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: of her attention goes to him.
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's not good for you.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: How long have you guys been together.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: We've been together for eleven years.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Okay, And do you know has she crossed that line
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: with him? Yes?
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: She did twice.
• 3:25
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: Okay, man, I got to say something. I'm grateful you
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: call this for advice. I don't think we're qualified.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: I was just going to say, I feel like you
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: need a professional.
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: I can considered.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: Couples counseling with an actual like, I don't know, I
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: don't know what you take advantage of.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: She's like a sweet guy.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: But man, and what's what the guy is the guy
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: at all married as well?
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: No, he's he's just a single guy.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: That just.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: He just does this.
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: Have you showed up to talk to him and say
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: step step back?
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: I'm try, but he has me blocked on every single thing.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: And I told you know, my main thing was if
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: you're going to take my wife from me, I want
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: her to be happy and I want you to treat
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: her right.

• 5:27
  Speaker 1: I thought about you all day yesterday, dude. It was
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: appreciate it. Yeah, your story was very tough to listen
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: to and to deal with.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: So, like I said, nobody in this studio is qualified
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: to give you that answer, but the people listening to
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: our show might, and we got a lot of people
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: that have advice for you. So quick recap if you're
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: just tuning in. Brandon has a nine month old baby girl.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: He's been with his wife for eleven years, and she
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: wants to leave him for a guy, and the guy
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: won't stop coming after.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Her like she's been blocked.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: He's a crazy story, but that's a quick recap, right Brandon, Yes, sir, Okay,
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: here we go. Let's say hello to Vivian. Vivian, good morning.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: What what advice do you have for Brandon?
• 6:11
  Speaker 9: Well, I think it's a complicated situation and we don't
• 6:14
  Speaker 9: know all aspects for not there with him and his wife.
• 6:18
  Speaker 9: But I think the unfortunate advice I would give is
• 6:20
  Speaker 9: if she wants to leave, he needs to let her leave.
• 6:26
  Speaker 9: There's been an attempt at repairing about a year ago,
• 6:30
  Speaker 9: she told him what she needed. He feels like he's
• 6:32
  Speaker 9: done this, and a year later, this person has re
• 6:35
  Speaker 9: entered her life and she has read you know, especially
• 6:38
  Speaker 9: said hey, I want to explore. You know, life with
• 6:41
  Speaker 9: him right now is definitely one of those like it's
• 6:44
  Speaker 9: not Brandon, it's the wife, and it's the wife, and
• 6:48
  Speaker 9: it's not the random dude on the side, Like, yes,
• 6:50
  Speaker 9: he's the sort of temptation, but she's the one making
• 6:53
  Speaker 9: the decision to explore and leave her marriage for him.
• 6:57
  Speaker 9: And obviously there are needs that are not being fulfilled
• 6:59
  Speaker 9: for her that he is filling and Brandon may not
• 7:04
  Speaker 9: fill ever, But you know that only time will tell,
• 7:07
  Speaker 9: honestly in that regard.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: So you're saying, let her go. Yeah, okay, that's tough,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: that's Brandon.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, it's a very valid point.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: I think what what makes it even harder? So you
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: got a little baby involved? What is that clicking noise, Vivia?
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: And you make it a turn?
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I am.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: That you have. That's a loud.
• 7:34
  Speaker 9: Clicker, Chevy equinox.
• 7:37
  Speaker 8: Don't judge me.
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: The aggressive blinker.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: What Brandon gets out of this?
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna get an equinox now, okay, all right, by Vivian,
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: thank you.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Listen to Megan. You do, Megan, good morning. What's your
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: advice for Brandon?
• 7:51
  Speaker 7: So, I mean, unfortunately, my advice is very similar to Vivian,
• 7:57
  Speaker 7: is that this other dude is not a problem. It's
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: his spouse. And if you were my friend, I would
• 8:05
  Speaker 7: be telling you you need to believe this person when
• 8:08
  Speaker 7: they show you who they are. And I know it
• 8:10
  Speaker 7: sounds very trite, but you need to believe them. And
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: she's showing you that you're I mean, unfortunately, she's not
• 8:17
  Speaker 7: showing you that you're a priority. And I would file
• 8:23
  Speaker 7: for a joint custody of my daughter, and I would
• 8:27
  Speaker 7: I would leave, I mean, I would, I would tell
• 8:29
  Speaker 7: any friend of mine that you shouldn't be putting up
• 8:31
  Speaker 7: with that. It's just not right. And I know a
• 8:35
  Speaker 7: broken home, because I come from one, isn't the best
• 8:38
  Speaker 7: for a child. But it's also not good to stay
• 8:41
  Speaker 7: in a situation. It's not good to show your child
• 8:44
  Speaker 7: to stay in a situation that is harmful to you.
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: That's a good point because Brandon probably feels like he's
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: he's walking on eggshells at all time, like he can't
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: just be himself.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Your thoughts branded, Yeah, so I walk on.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't say I mean Exhel's pretty close to it.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: It's just I just want to make sure like I'm
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: making her happy. And that's what I've always felt, is
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: am I doing enough to make her happy? And you know,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: I'm constantly scared that he's trying to make contact with her,
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: And you know, we go months at a time where
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: there's no issues, and then as soon as he makes contact,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: it just seems like I'm the second in our relationship.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Hey, let me ask you this. So she started her
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: relationship with him when.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: He had a rough part in our marriage, which was
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: caused by me. I was confused, and I just I
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: didn't go after somebody I just thought I needed a break,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: and during that break, she found this guy.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: And that was a year ago, yes, sir, And there
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: was nothing before that.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: Because I got to tell you I got a DM yesterday,
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: because I was so involved in your situation, I made
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: a video yesterday. I was like, I got say about
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: this guy ran in I put on my Instagram. It
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: was a huge smash, thousands of yous. You could see
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: it in my stories. Anyway, that's it, John j Vanni. No,
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: but some guy messed me said, you know, and I
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: don't know if this is gonna hurt feelings or not,
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: but he's like, you might want to get a DNA
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: test on that baby, is what they said a year ago.
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: Ye right, that's why maybe she's stepping around like uh
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: like maybe like paid a lot of attention to that,
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: and I say it's.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Not your baby. Then there's a whole what's your take
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: on that?
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Well, dang, John Jay, you put that in my head?
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Now what better I have it in your head? What
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: is better now than you did? I heard you got
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: a baby by buster.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I it's a that's a valid point. You know,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: I don't after all of this, She's not a bad person.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: She's a great person, and I think she gets confused.
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: But but you sound like a good dude too. But
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: but it does seem like, uh, you are not being
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: given and like the truth right for yourself, and you're
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: kind of like in the libow with your wife.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Kid.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: Let's go to Deborah. Deborah's got advice to Deborah. Good morning.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: You're on the air at Brandon.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, good man.
• 11:14
  Speaker 8: It's uh, it sounds like she's infatuated with this If
• 11:18
  Speaker 8: it's not the father, if she's actually the real father,
• 11:21
  Speaker 8: maybe that's why. But I think she's actually's just been
• 11:25
  Speaker 8: sactuated with this guy, and she knows her husband for
• 11:28
  Speaker 8: eleven years. She knows that she could get away with that.
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: Thank you.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Okay, let her go. Let's go to Roy, Roy, good morning.
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: I was gonna say text the DNA text it's been
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: a year. I'm sorry, guy, but I was in a
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: relationship with this lady for fifteen years and after twelve
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: years just teated and I trying to make it work
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: and then didn't work again, so I checked the DNA.
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry, Rowbo. All right, thanks Roy.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: It's tough.
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: The thing too, is like, let's just say that it's
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: not your baby, but you already got nine months of
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: love of that baby, right, I mean right?
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: Also, wouldn't you ever find out now, yeah, rather than
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: seventeen years down the road, hettle Kid.
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: Wonders that would at least get you kind of some
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: clarification on where you are with your relationship with your wife. Anyway,
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: But it's like, I know, it's easy for people outside
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: of it to look at this and think of it
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: as black and white. It's just not for you because
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: there's all those feelings involved.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: A couple of text messages, this call breaks my heart.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: He needs to protect his heart and just let her go.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: She's not the one for him. He can find someone
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: who truly is his person and not someone who keeps
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: wondering every time. A guy says high they can co
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: parent their daughter, but he needs to let her go.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: Another person's advice for Brandon, this says nothing to do
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: with him. She's already checked out of the relationship. There's
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: absolutely nothing he could do to make things better. She's
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: merely given him things to change to help relieve her conscience.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: If I was Brandon, I would let her go. So
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: that's a lot. That's a lot of the same advice,
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: but I hope will help you out. Brandon, And I'm
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: so glad you came to Did we help you out?
• 13:06

• 13:08

• 13:11
  Speaker 2: taking time to cover this with me. It gives me
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: a lot to think about at the end of the day.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Like I said, she's she's a great person in general,
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: she's made bad decisions. I don't know where I go
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: from here. It's gonna be tough, but it's definitely worse. Well,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: it's definitely a lot that I'm gonna be thinking about
• 13:27
