Round one: a girl talks to her ex at the grocery store, the room says no, Ella reveals yes, she wants to apologize and they get back together. Round two: a man brings his wife flowers, unanimous no, the flowers are poisoned deadly nightshade.

The bit repeatedly derails over the man's name, Dwayne or Dewey. They close by asking listeners to weigh in via the complaint line and re-task the girls with Cheese King research.
