Greeting

Read before the beep
TRANSCRIPT

“Hey, you’ve reached It Ain’t Always Love. Don’t call your ex. Call us. And since you’re already here, tell us the tea.

“Bad date? Messy breakup? Need advice or just need to vent? Give yourself a nickname and tell us what happened. How did it start? When did you think, ‘Hold up’? And how did it end, or are you still in it?

“If you’re 18 or older and you’re okay with us editing and sharing your voicemail on the show and on social, say ‘I agree’ after the beep. Leave out real names and anything that could identify someone. Keep it around two minutes.

“Okay, what’d they do?”

BEFORE YOU CALL

You must be 18 or older to leave a message. Use a nickname and leave out real names and identifying details. If you’re comfortable with us editing and sharing your voicemail on the podcast and social media, start your message by saying “I agree.” We may feature selected stories.

Have a question about your voicemail or want to request removal? Email itaintalwayslove@gmail.com.

Meet the voice behind the hotline

Hey, I’m Michelle.

I’m a filmmaker, and I’m starting a new podcast called It Ain’t Always Love. It’s a dating and relationship hotline for the stories you usually save for the group chat.

If a date went left, your ex popped back up, or you just need to vent, call 1-855-704-LOVE and leave me a voicemail. Tell me what happened and whether you want my take or just need somebody to hear you out.

Why we started the hotline

Help us make Knock Knock

Ever met your best friend’s new partner and immediately thought, “Girl, are we seeing the same person?” That’s where Knock Knock begins.

We created It Ain’t Always Love to get people talking about those moments and to help raise money for the film. You can call and tell us your story without donating. If you’d like to help us make the short, your gift helps pay for cast and crew, sets, equipment, and post-production.
