<v Speaker 1>You're waking up to denver's morning.

<v Speaker 2>Show with nina and josh x 100.

<v Speaker 3>Josh i was going through my dms because like my

<v Speaker 3>social media my instagram specifically has still been blowing up

<v Speaker 3>from that bruno mars video that went viral oh.

<v Speaker 2>That'll never stop yeah that'll never stop it.

<v Speaker 3>Literally is constant i'm like Do I have regrets?

<v Speaker 4>Kind of.

<v Speaker 2>Please stop. Yeah, no, seriously. Can you turn your notifs off?

<v Speaker 2>I'm wondering.

<v Speaker 3>Well, my notifications, I'm not, like, my phone's not blowing up.

<v Speaker 2>Oh, okay. Oh, thank God.

<v Speaker 3>I do turn those off, but every time. Your battery

<v Speaker 3>would be like. Yeah, exactly. Every time I go on Instagram,

<v Speaker 3>it is just constantly Bruno Mars stuff. And I have

<v Speaker 3>all sorts of, like, weird DMs, too.

<v Speaker 2>You know, one time I got like 600 likes on

<v Speaker 2>a video. Just letting you know.

<v Speaker 3>That's impressive.

<v Speaker 2>You with your 8.9 million likes and views and everything.

<v Speaker 2>I'm like, I got 600 one time.

<v Speaker 3>Listen, it wasn't because of me. It was because of

<v Speaker 3>someone else's goodies.

<v Speaker 2>You know what they say, sex sells.

<v Speaker 3>That's true. Very true. And it does on Instagram as well.

<v Speaker 3>But I was going through my notifications. I'm going through

<v Speaker 3>my DMs and, you know, just deleting all the spam

<v Speaker 3>that's in there. But then I came across an actual

<v Speaker 3>DM of a guy named James. And he heard our

<v Speaker 3>What's the Drama last week.

<v Speaker 2>Oh, love it.

<v Speaker 3>And he was like, okay, if this is something that

<v Speaker 3>you guys are going to be doing, I might need

<v Speaker 3>your help.

<v Speaker 2>Okay.

<v Speaker 3>And then I asked him to send me a voice note,

<v Speaker 3>and this is what he sent me.

<v Speaker 5>My best friend has turned into a monster.

<v Speaker 3>A monster.

<v Speaker 2>Uh-oh.

<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

<v Speaker 2>Okay.

<v Speaker 3>And it's a best friend situation, so that's a little concerning.

<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah. I mean, you don't want a best friend

<v Speaker 2>breakup or something, right?

<v Speaker 3>Listen, boyfriend, girlfriend, that's one thing. Especially when you're young,

<v Speaker 3>you're going to go through them. It is what it is.

<v Speaker 3>But your best friend, that's supposed to be for life.

<v Speaker 2>No, losing your bestie, I think, is always worse than

<v Speaker 2>any type of boyfriend-girlfriend relationship breakup. Like, genuinely.

<v Speaker 3>A hundred percent.

<v Speaker 2>Mm-hmm.

<v Speaker 3>Save the drama for your mama. Oh, my God.

<v Speaker 2>Oh, my God. Or for Denver's morning show, I guess.

<v Speaker 2>I love all the drama.

<v Speaker 3>What's the drama today? What's the drama today?

<v Speaker 1>Do it for the drama.

<v Speaker 3>Here's Nina and Josh. James in Westminster dealing with some

<v Speaker 3>best friend problems. And yeah, that can be a little

<v Speaker 3>bit tricky. So, James, tell us what is going on.

<v Speaker 5>Okay, long story short, my best friend has gone through

<v Speaker 5>a lot over the years and he's a different person

<v Speaker 5>than he used to be. He's so insensitive now and

<v Speaker 5>I don't know if I want to be around him anymore.

<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean, okay, hold on. We all go through like,

<v Speaker 2>you know, ups and downs, different changes into adulthood or whatever.

<v Speaker 2>And you say like he can be, I don't know,

<v Speaker 2>insensitive or whatever. Is he just joking around or is

<v Speaker 2>this like crude kind of rude humor?

<v Speaker 5>I mean, yeah, it started that way. A little bit

<v Speaker 5>of like crude humor. He would say something outlandish. He'd

<v Speaker 5>give him a side eye, but he just doesn't care.

<v Speaker 5>It's gotten worse. Halloween is coming up and he wants

<v Speaker 5>to do a group costume, but I'm not comfortable going

<v Speaker 5>out in public like this.

<v Speaker 2>Oh, God.

<v Speaker 3>Oh, okay, okay. I need to know. I'm actually afraid

<v Speaker 3>to ask, but I do need to know what is

<v Speaker 3>the group costume that he wants to be.

<v Speaker 5>So he came up with the tiger that just ate

<v Speaker 5>a dude last week and the corpse.

<v Speaker 2>Yo! The corpse?

<v Speaker 5>Oh, my gosh. And that's the nicest of his ideas lately.

<v Speaker 2>The nicest?

<v Speaker 3>What else does he have?

<v Speaker 5>So he's also proposing Gypsy Rose and her mom because

<v Speaker 5>they saw it on the internet.

<v Speaker 2>Oh, jeez.

<v Speaker 5>He wanted to do Kanye and Soulja Boy because he

<v Speaker 5>wanted to run for president. It's too much for me.

<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that sounds like a lot. This is a lot already.

<v Speaker 3>Everything you've thrown out right now, this is almost too

<v Speaker 3>much information. I kind of get it. But if this

<v Speaker 3>is your best friend, like how long have you guys

<v Speaker 3>known each other? Is this something that you can talk

<v Speaker 3>to him about?

<v Speaker 5>Maybe. We've known each other since elementary school. Like I said,

<v Speaker 5>he's gone through some hard times where life is just

<v Speaker 5>not fair to him. And it's made him into this mean,

<v Speaker 5>bitter person that I don't enjoy being around anymore. But

<v Speaker 5>he's my brother. I have love for him and I

<v Speaker 5>can't just drop him. But I can't do this Halloween stuff.

<v Speaker 2>Jeez, dude. I don't know. That sounds like a pretty

<v Speaker 2>tough situation. I don't know. Maybe you could make like

<v Speaker 2>an excuse to not spend Halloween with him.

<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you're an adult. You don't have to do stuff.

<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I told him I was thinking of going to

<v Speaker 5>Chicago for Halloween, and I can't really avoid the trip,

<v Speaker 5>but I might do it anyway to avoid that conversation. Oh!

<v Speaker 2>Geez!

<v Speaker 3>I mean, you've got to be able to talk to

<v Speaker 3>your friend, though. If this is your best friend you

<v Speaker 3>have known for years and years and years, you have

<v Speaker 3>to be able to have these tough conversations sometimes. And listen,

<v Speaker 3>if you're not able to, maybe it is time to

<v Speaker 3>break ties.

<v Speaker 2>Oh! That's bad. That's a bad situation to be in, Nina.

<v Speaker 3>It really is. And James, I do feel for you

<v Speaker 3>because those ideas that he came up with are insane.

<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

<v Speaker 3>But it sounds like you need some help. Do you

<v Speaker 3>break ties with your best friend who's kind of switched

<v Speaker 3>up their personality on you? Or do you just bite

<v Speaker 3>the bullet and you talk to your friend?

<v Speaker 2>I mean, look, I love James. And I think what

<v Speaker 2>he said is very poignant. That being said, with all

<v Speaker 2>the Halloween costumes, there have been decades of, What? I'm

<v Speaker 2>a mouse. Duh. That type of thing. The more risque

<v Speaker 2>people that dress up.

<v Speaker 3>Right.

<v Speaker 2>I'm kind of digging... I'm kind of digging the scary ones.

<v Speaker 2>I kind of like it. I know, James. I'm sorry.

<v Speaker 2>I might be flipping on you.

<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

<v Speaker 6>I don't know.

<v Speaker 3>I think that this is just more an issue between

<v Speaker 3>the friendship, James and his friend.

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you're right.

<v Speaker 3>I think you just need to have a conversation with

<v Speaker 3>him almost.

<v Speaker 2>Or just dump him.

<v Speaker 3>Or just dump him.

<v Speaker 5>I don't know.

<v Speaker 2>Look, we got a lot of texting calls. I think

<v Speaker 2>we should get to the calls right away.

<v Speaker 3>Okay, let's get to some calls. Justin, good morning. How

<v Speaker 3>are we feeling today?

<v Speaker 2>Good morning.

<v Speaker 1>Feeling pretty good. How about y'all?

<v Speaker 3>We're good, but we're trying to help James out here. Like,

<v Speaker 3>what does he do right now with this whole situation

<v Speaker 3>with his friend? Does he try to talk to him

<v Speaker 3>about the costumes, or does he just, like, drop him

<v Speaker 3>as a friend, or does he go along with the

<v Speaker 3>Halloween costumes? Like, what would you do in this situation?

<v Speaker 1>If he's not feeling comfortable, he should absolutely talk to

<v Speaker 1>his friend. I mean, he said that they've been friends

<v Speaker 1>since elementary school.

<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

<v Speaker 1>And with a friendship like that, you should be able

<v Speaker 1>to talk to that person and be able to compromise

<v Speaker 1>with each other. But if you can't and things are

<v Speaker 1>actually getting that bad, then I would have to say

<v Speaker 1>dump them. But I don't think it's that bad to

<v Speaker 1>where they can't talk it through. I mean, if they're

<v Speaker 1>best friends and brothers like you claim, they should be

<v Speaker 1>able to talk it through.

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you're right. I just don't I don't like the

<v Speaker 2>idea of dumping because you're right. Like you said, he

<v Speaker 2>has been friends with him for so long.

<v Speaker 3>He called him his brother.

<v Speaker 2>Yeah. To break up and have that friendship breakup after

<v Speaker 2>so many years. I mean, that's over this like this

<v Speaker 2>is such a little thing in the grand scheme, right?

<v Speaker 7>Exactly.

<v Speaker 1>It's so little. It's not worth I don't think it's

<v Speaker 1>worth ruining a friendship of.

<v Speaker 7>Of that.

<v Speaker 3>A lifetime friendship.

<v Speaker 1>Something like this.

<v Speaker 2>Yeah. No, you're right, Justin. All right, man, we got

<v Speaker 2>your vote. You are saying try not to break up.

<v Speaker 2>We appreciate you calling in, man. Thank you.

<v Speaker 3>Thank you.

<v Speaker 2>Yep.

<v Speaker 1>Good day, guys.

<v Speaker 2>You too, man. Thanks for calling in.

<v Speaker 3>Thank you.

<v Speaker 2>Interesting. Yeah.

<v Speaker 3>I guess a conversation is definitely needed. But it kind

<v Speaker 3>of sounds to me like James has maybe talked to

<v Speaker 3>him before because he knows that he's going through stuff.

<v Speaker 2>About other things. Yes. Yeah. Exactly. All right. So, so

<v Speaker 2>far we have try to talk it out. I like that.

<v Speaker 2>One for try to talk it out. Okay.

<v Speaker 3>Let's talk to Alicia. Good morning, Alicia. How are we

<v Speaker 3>feeling today?

<v Speaker 4>I'm good. It's rainy.

<v Speaker 7>It's Yeah.

<v Speaker 5>I love it.

<v Speaker 2>Oh, the cold, rainy weather. Oh, it's my best friend.

<v Speaker 2>I love it so much.

<v Speaker 1>I'm ready.

<v Speaker 4>I'm ready for the snow.

<v Speaker 2>I'm with Josh on that. I already like you, Alicia.

<v Speaker 5>All right. Awesome.

<v Speaker 4>Okay.

<v Speaker 2>So how are you feeling on this whole thing? We

<v Speaker 2>know James is really upset by this. Do you think

<v Speaker 2>they can talk it out? What are your thoughts?

<v Speaker 4>I totally think they could talk it out. Like, I mean,

<v Speaker 4>I texted in for like, I've known my best friend since.

<v Speaker 6>We were four or five like and we've had her

<v Speaker 6>ups and downs yeah we've had her ups and downs

<v Speaker 6>and I mean they're a girl's family and she would

<v Speaker 6>do the same thing for me like if I was

<v Speaker 6>going through it and she's really been going through it

<v Speaker 6>the last couple months so if she was like oh

<v Speaker 6>I want to dress as.

<v Speaker 4>X and Y or.

<v Speaker 6>Whatever as Gypsy Rose and her mom yeah I would.

<v Speaker 2>Do it for her you're saying go along with it

<v Speaker 2>then because she's been kind of going through it you're

<v Speaker 2>going to accompany her with this Oh, I.

<v Speaker 4>Would totally do it.

<v Speaker 2>Oh, my God. I love that, first of all. But

<v Speaker 2>even if you hate the costume idea, you're going to

<v Speaker 2>go along?

<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I would do it for her.

<v Speaker 5>Alicia.

<v Speaker 4>She would do it for me.

<v Speaker 3>Yep. You're a ride or die. A ride or die

<v Speaker 3>bestie right here. We love that.

<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I would do it in a heartbeat.

<v Speaker 2>I want to be your bestie. What the heck? You

<v Speaker 2>sound like such a good friend.

<v Speaker 4>She, like, I thrive off, like, dark humor when I'm in, like,

<v Speaker 4>really bad states.

<v Speaker 6>And she does, too.

<v Speaker 4>So I feel like it's just like one of those

<v Speaker 4>things where it's like that's going to make me feel

<v Speaker 4>so much better. Even if I like if it sounds

<v Speaker 4>horrible to other people, it's going to make me feel better.

<v Speaker 4>And I'm going to come out just happier than ever.

<v Speaker 2>Oh, my gosh.

<v Speaker 3>Alicia, you're hilarious. So you're that person. You're not only

<v Speaker 3>the ride or die, but like you thrive off that

<v Speaker 3>dark humor. So you're down for it. Would you have

<v Speaker 3>a conversation, though, with your friend of like, hey? Your
