Along the central Texas plains, teens are dying. Suicides that don't make sense. Strange accidents and brutal murders. In what seems to be a plot ripped straight out of Breaking Bad.

Drugs, alcohol, trafficking of people. There are people out there that absolutely know what happened.

Chapter 2: Why has Lauren's brother kept his girlfriend a secret?

584.716 - 602.296 Unknown

I'm not hearing the blinks. We want her to be here. I prefer that. But no, this is a real situation. We're not joking around. It's been two years, and one of our listeners, Lauren, says she has still not met her brother's girlfriend. And it's becoming a little bit of an issue in their family. So she's looking to get ahead of this before her parents get involved.

602.617 - 612.508 Unknown

Brooke, what's your advice for Lauren before we call her brother? Listen, the quickest way to bond with your sibling is to have a common enemy. And we all know that enemy is always your parents.

613.71 - 613.93

Am I right?

0

613.91 - 636.584 Unknown

I'm right. Okay. So listen, you need to go to him and be like, oh my God, you are not going to believe what mom and dad are saying behind your back. And I don't even know how to respond. Throw him under the bus. Yeah. No. Yes. Throw your parents under the bus and then hopefully he'll come clean and be honest with you. Lauren, you liking that? I do like that strategy. I do divide and conquer.

636.604 - 656.391 Unknown

Divide the parents. Okay. So throw the parents under the bus. That's option one. Jose, what do you think? I really like what you said towards the end of our last phone call, which was you are trying to save him. So emphasize that so he knows, like, hey, I'm not just being a bossy older sister here. I'm truly trying to help, and I think that he'll naturally come clean.

656.511 - 670.677 Unknown

You don't care if he doesn't have a girlfriend, right? Yeah, you have him regardless, right? You're the hero here. In fact, call yourself a hero when you talk to him. You're going to save his relationship with mom and dad. Are you ready to do this? That's all I want for Christmas.

670.697 - 670.798 Dani Shapiro

Okay.

670.818 - 672.614 Unknown

All right. That's sweet.

672.634 - 673.094 Brooke

Here we go.
