JB- It almost seems like there's a cult following. We've seen during many of the confrontations where people see the cameras and the crew coming and start shouting, Cheaters!
JG- (laughing)
JB- What kind of response have you had when you're out in public? Do they automatically just think you're out doing a bust?
JG- If I go out to a lounge or to a restaurant and I show up and I happen to have a black suit on, all of a sudden there's no waiting and everyone kind of clears out. (laughing) And I get a front row and I'm on the top of the list! Actually, I was in Los Angeles for a function and it [the show] was totally unrelated to why I was there. I wasn't there on business. I walked in to the lounge of the hotel and I was looking for a party. I walked in and just kind of made a loop through the lounge and they weren't there so I went back out to the front and I stood by the lobby area. And one of the guys that works there comes in and he comes over to me and he starts laughing, and he goes, "Man, you really know how to clear out a room!" After I had done that and made that loop, there were quite a number of people that… (laughing) thought it wasn't the place for them! Sadly, I'm a pariah.
JB- Nobody wants to be around you. It's probably them that think they're going to get busted.
JG- Well, hey, they would know.
JB- That's got to be something interesting, too. You often have people denying it, yet you have videotaped proof, sometimes in your hand, to show them. I mean, that's just crazy, isn't it?
JG- Well, first line of defence always seems to be to deny. Deny until you're confronted with indisputable evidence. And just last week, there's a gentleman who was denying everything until I said, "Well, you know what? I have this occasion." And he said, "No, you don't" and I said, "Oh, really? Do you wanna see? Because I can show it to you." And then all of a sudden he wasn't interested in that and he went on to another denial of another part. So he would only admit to as much truth as I was able to prove. But, we had enough… so as he continued to throw out obstacles, we had a solution for that obstacle because we knew what was going on. "We know that you're doing this. We know that you're doing that." And at the end of the day, when he didn't have a leg to stand on, then he started to, at that point, become very apologetic and then admitted to the girl that he was living with that he was being unfaithful. But at that point, are they interested in hearing anymore? And that's the sad part.

JB- I have an email that was sent in from Scott, wanting to know why some people's faces are blurred and names withheld?
JG- What happens with that, Jeremy, is our client, in exchange for the rights to air the case, we subsidize the investigation. The suspect -- we are unable to air or broadcast anyone's image without their approval. After the case is over, the producers will contact some of these folks and give them an opportunity to come on the show, tell their side of the story and they'll be compensated for that. But we'll need their signature on a waiver that will allow their information to be broadcast. If they don't sign the waiver and aren't interested any further -- or some of them will come on and won't sign the waiver but still tell their side of the story and their faces will be blurred. That's the situation where some of them are blurred and some of them are not. Ones that have signed the waiver are not blurred. Ones that haven't, are blurred.

JB- You go along, of course, for the confrontations. Sometimes you're not always just a bystander. Sometimes you get into the face of the cheater. Why do you step in and offer up your two cents?
JG- There are times when… no one likes to see someone taken advantage of by someone in a position of power. I think we all agree on that. There are times when the client may have difficulty speaking for themselves that I'll try and step in, but most times they usually know what to say. But again, it's more than just being confrontational. Obviously I'm there as a facilitator and what my goal is to move passed that and try and help create some dialogue where they can actually have some meaningful conversation about what happened with the relationship going forward, or with future relationships.

JB- Season 10 is fast approaching and, well, I have an idea what we're in for on the upcoming shows as there's really no change in what we see, right?
JG- Or it's the same people never learn.
JB- What is the weirdest case of cheating you've seen on the show in your years of doing it?
JG- The weirdest case or the weirdest situation?
JB- The weirdest situation. I mean, we've seen some pretty kinky lies…
JG- It may have already aired this season. It was pretty recent. We were out in a horse pasture.
JB- Is that where you were getting whipped?
JG- Yes! OK, so it did air. That was one of the most bizarre situations. Here we are, it's maybe 11:30 at night, we're sneaking through this pasture. We can't see anything. We know where the barn is, we can see where the little fire is that the guy's cooking on the grill, but that's all we can really see. It's the only light that we have. So we're sneaking through this pasture and then all of a sudden he realizes there are people there. We turned our lights on and horses are running around, he's running around, then he grabs his whip, and he's whipping everybody. He didn't whip me.
JB- Because, he said he liked you.
JG- And at first that is what I thought was really interesting. He's whipping everybody and I wonder if he's going to whip me. And then he goes, "I, I like you! You bust cheaters!" and then he stopped for a second, and he goes, "Wait a minute. No, I'm mad at you! Because you busted…" and his name was Chester on top of everything else and he had his cowboy hat on that he kept on throughout the entire sequence. That was one of the wildest ones that ever happened. You know, with the livestock running around and with this guy running around trying to attack everybody; plus, his girlfriend was quite a substantial woman was ready to tune him up and our security guards were working harder to protect him from his girlfriend than they were to protect the cameramen from him. So I thought, to me, that was probably one of the most interesting ones that I've been involved in in quite some time.
JB- Cheaters airs in syndication. Be sure to check your local listings. Joey Greco, my fingers are crossed for you. No more serious injuries, OK?
JG- You and I both are on the same page on that. Thanks for your time and attention and I appreciate the support.
JB- All the best to you as season 10 approaches. Thanks for joining us today.
JG- Alright. Thanks, Jeremy.
