Speaker 1 (00:00):
Second date of date. We've heard of people getting stood
up at the start of a date, just never showing
it's not cool.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
No, does that feels so bad?
Speaker 1 (00:11):
I've been stood up at the end of a date
where night's over, we say goodbye, and then they just
leave that you're standing at the door, so rude.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
That's the progression of.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Events, at least linger for a second before you run away.
But it's a whole different thing to get stood up
while you're still in the middle of a date.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
People go into the bathroom and then.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
But this is different. This isn't like an excuse yourself
to the bathroom mid dinner, then slip out the back situation.
This one's more personal. Apparently that's what happened to one
of our listeners, Dana, recently, so let's talk to her. Dana.
I'm sorry to hear this happen to you. How you
doing I'm.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
Not doing well. I'm a little piss off right now, to.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Be honest, it's understandable.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I mean, I don't even really get how whatever you're
describing happened.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Really, I'm thinking one of those on me at the
second bar.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Let's drive separate, see you never to learn more.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
About what happened on this date. Dana tell us the situation.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
So I got stood up on a vacation dates.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
A vacation date like when you met somebody at a resort.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
You mean, not particularly. I had met dis guy Sean
on one of the apps. I don't know if it
was travel mode or you know, his search options were everywhere,
but we connected. Okay, he's super cute, he's athletic.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
All of us are on the app, just so you know.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Well, I had a high hope. Okay, good and honestly,
like we really got along. We were talking a lot,
We're even talking on the phone, and after a couple
of weeks he he wented to fly me to LA
which is where he.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Okay, now, is that like a green flag for you?
Or are you worried about that?
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Have you?
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Have you done it before?
Speaker 4 (01:57):
I haven't. At first, I was a little aired, but
it was also kind of thrilling to me to be
close somewhere, like kind of felt romantic. I've heard both
like amazing stories and horror.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
And it's a red flag that his entire family is
waiting at the airport. I'm just assuming that's how it went.
I don't know though, Yeah, did you go?
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Did you get on the plane? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:20):
I took the invitation, but obviously I was feeling nervous, like,
how was I going to go about this? You know,
I didn't I didn't know him. I wasn't going to
stay at a house.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
I was going to ask you to get you a
hotel or did he offer free to stay in his place?
There's two big differences here.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Yeah, no, I mean I said the boundary pretty quickly,
and he offered to get me a hotel room.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I can't wait to hear them you see him?
Speaker 4 (02:44):
So it all turned out really well?
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:49):
No, I mean like when I finally met him, he
looked like his photos. We hung out all day long.
He showed me around the city.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
That's so cute.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Yeah. We had a nice dinner, we went dancing. I
felt like it was a really good date. We got
along really well. He was really easy to talk to, Like, Okay.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Well I don't understand that because at the start you
said you're really pissed. Yeah, so how does that emotion
come into play?
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Well, because the next day, after this great date, we
have plans to go to this really nice lunch place.
It's really hard to get into and I was really
excited about it. And that morning I was hanging out,
I went on to the pool and I texted him.
You know, I was just trying to be like, let's
beet up early. This life's hard to get into, you know.
(03:32):
I don't live here, so I don't know how long
it's going to take to get anywhere. And he didn't
respond at all, No, no response.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Oh man, are you like I would be kind of like, oh,
something must have happened, you know what I mean, Like
you wouldn't assume that somebody would fly you all the
way out there and then just.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Not did you right?
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Did you ask?
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Yeah? So I texted him again, there's still no response.
I ended up getting an uber and going to the restaurant.
He didn't show up. Oh my gosh, can I text
him again like where is he and asking him straight
up if he's pitching me?
Speaker 2 (04:09):
And did he ever respond?
Speaker 4 (04:11):
He responded later that evening and he said, I'm sorry
I've been unresponsive. I've had some devastating news.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Oh god, did he share? I mean god, I mean
that's a pretty good excuse.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
He did not share that anything that's too vague?
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Yeah, like my favorite sports team loses, I'm devastating.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
You assume really bad, like someone in the family died,
or like he got fired or something.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Okay, so you immediately believe him. As soon as he
says devastating news, he gets a free passage.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Are you the word devastating?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Yeah, just like vocabular, you don't give him the benefit
of the doubt in that moment.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Never never give them the benefit of the doubt. We
will take advantage every time. Okay, at least would say, well,
I hope no one passed away or whatever you're going through.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
I'm so sorry. I'm here for you, and then he should.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Say something next Okay, So, yeah, what happened? Where did
the conversation go from there?
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Well?
Speaker 4 (05:11):
I didn't hear from him after that, and I just
decided to fly. I fell you out the next day.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Yeah, I mean, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Yeah, I didn't hear from him, and I'm really wondering, like,
what in the world happened?
Speaker 2 (05:23):
And you still haven't heard from him.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
No, And it's really confusing. And this is why I'm pissed.
It's because we had such a great date that it
makes no sense that he would just, you know, say
there's devastating news, not share with me what it is?
And then he stood me up?
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Yeah? How long?
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Oh this has been two and a half weeks. A
long time.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Can I ask you flew into a new city, he
met you at the hotel. Did you ever see his house?
Speaker 4 (05:51):
No? I didn't, but I didn't want to see a house.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
I just wondering if maybe there's like a second family,
or a sam.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
He's married, or you know, like hotel.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yeah, I just I mean, there's so much you don't
know about this guy.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
I didn't even think about that.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
I did my preliminary Google search at this person. I
didn't find anything about a second family, but you know
that doesn't mean that doesn't exist.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Did you check the local papers about any devastating news
that could have been.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
A devastation column?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
I love that column. Yeah, I don't even know how
you checked the news. Don't worry, it's online. Why don't
you google some devastating information in the Los Angeles area?
And when we come back, I don't think a whole
lot of bad stuff happens there. But when we come back,
we'll try and get you your second date update with
with the guy who stood you up in the middle
(06:42):
of your vacation date.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
Right after this hold on second date update, when a
person you're on a date with doesn't contact you for
a few days and then finally replies with sorry, I.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Just received some devastating news but doesn't elaborate. Should that
be a red flag? The ladies in the room surprisingly said.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
No, I think you need to hear the person.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
One believe him, They said, men don't lie about devastating news.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Benefit of a doubt, Jeff, that was my exact words.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Tomato, tomato. You know, Lexus gives him credit just for
using a big word with lots of letters.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
You can't lie if you're saying devastated.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
So what is it?
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Sending him flowers and flying him to her?
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Now?
Speaker 3 (07:32):
I feel so bad.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
That's so kind. The bottom line is Dana was left
hanging in the middle of a vacation date for the
guy flew her out to l A and now he
hasn't even responded to her for two weeks after he
just ditched her.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Oh my god, it's wild. I think that he's got
a wife and kids. I'm telling you, it's not just devastating.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
You would have elaborated days later.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
He's like the devastating news. The kids are still in
this house.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
That would be tragic, so understandably, Dana wants answers here.
We're gonna call him. His name is Sean, right, Dana, Yeah, okay,
I just want to make sure we have that.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
And how mad are you are you? Because you said
you were on I'm just wondering at what point you're
gonna yell at him.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
I mean, if we can get him on the phone
and I can talk to him like my time is valuable.
I came to a different city to see him, like
I did him a favor.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
You wife are gone because of him.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
You got a good story.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Yeah, you do it for the plot.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Probably nice into stories while you were there.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Yeah. Yeah, it's not like we got nothing out of
this trip. But hopefully we can at least get some
resolution for you, assuming he answers the phone. So I'm
gonna dial it right now.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Yeah, good luck?
Speaker 1 (08:48):
All right?
Speaker 2 (08:49):
They never wish us luck?
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Sweet? Here we go. Hello, Hi? Is this sorry? We're
looking for Seawan? Sewan there, No, he's out for a run.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Can I take a message for you?
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Yeah? Well, well hold on, Well.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Okay, I think we just need to ask who's.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
This Yeah, who's this?
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Who is this?
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Are there's several of you.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Go on, Well, we're a radio show. We're called Brook
and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Is this Shawn's number?
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Yeah? Did he sign up for something?
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Are you a family member of Seawan's?
Speaker 4 (09:36):
I mean you could say that.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
What do you mean like you're a sister?
Speaker 4 (09:43):
I'm his wife?
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Okay, right, so Hi, sorry to bother you. You we're radio show.
Do you mind if we put you on hold for
a second?
Speaker 4 (09:55):
I mean, okay, I don't have all day.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Yeah, sorry, we'll be right back to you. Just hold on.
Can we put her on old?
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Okay, we got her?
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Oh my god? All right?
Speaker 1 (10:04):
So continue or.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Wants that to be the truth?
Speaker 2 (10:09):
I was like, worst case scenario.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
I thought you were wrong.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Oh my god?
Speaker 1 (10:14):
What kind of called it?
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Here?
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Not? It's not an entire second family? Or maybe it is.
My wife is a second is the family? There might
be kids there too, but we have at least got
a wife, Dana. Dana, how are you feeling?
Speaker 4 (10:27):
Are you How am I supposed to respond to this?
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Do you want to tell her?
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Or are you still in on Sean? We don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Well, this is the first time we will not be
offering a second date at the end.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
We can't do this.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
No, this is awful.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
I have been cheated on before, and the fact that
knowing now that I might be a participant in somebody
else's affair infuriated.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Do you want to tell her? Do you want to
talk to her? Can we do that?
Speaker 4 (10:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
I don't want to tell her.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Unfortunately, it's not surprising because unfortunately a lot of guys
do end up doing stuff like this. But how do
we want to handle this? Because there's really, in my mind,
there's three options for us to go here. Number one,
we just hang up, We leave it alone, hands off.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Of it, the coward's way out.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
I'm not opposed to it. Number two. Number two, have
Dana speak to the wife and fill her in on
the truth about what's happening.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
She's going to do it calmly.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
If she's going to do that, that's not going to happen.
Or we go option three, my favorite, have Brooke speak
to the wife. For Dana, Brook has been dying to
let her age out onto some sort of ye you
do your kids cheating?
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Don't you want to help?
Speaker 1 (11:44):
And when we started the call, you literally asked when
are you gonna yell at him?
Speaker 3 (11:47):
You can do it now.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
I think that if Brook can set this up, I
think speak to her. But I don't want to. I
just don't want to come in and my god.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Okay, that's a good choice, Dana. I feel like this
is going to be really emotional for you. So it's
good to have Brooke, who's notoriously even keel, the opposite
of even the marriage.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
I mean, okay, here's the thing. We are not breaking
up this marriage. That man is the one that broke
up his marriage. Absolutely fine, I'll do it.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
He's gonna really, You're gonna really do it.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
I mean, somebody has to. This woman has to know.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Brook tell her the truth.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Come on, I got your back here.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Excuse devastating news. Let's make it a real thing word
for me forever. Now, all right, let's punch the wife
back up. Okay, Hello, hello, Hey, sorry about that. So
we are back, and actually my co host Brooke would
like to speak with you.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
I didn't get your name.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
What's your name, Nikki?
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Hi, Nikki. It's so you're probably wondering why we'recalling, how
we got your husband's phone number. I'm gonna tell you
not great news on that front. Okay, because the reason
we have your husband Sean's phone number is because we
(13:16):
do a segment on our show called the Second Date.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Update, typically very fun segment.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Yeah. So typically people go on a first date and
when they aren't getting a call back from that person,
then we call and find out why, Like, what did
they do wrong on the date?
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Well, they were a funny hat.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Breath?
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Does that make sound sticky?
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Okay, so that's why we got your husband's phone number.
We didn't realize he was a husband. Your husband apparently
flew another woman into Los Angeles to take her out
for a romantic time.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
Yeah, okay, I mean we trade off weeks, we do
stuff with other people. Don't really see how that's any
of your business.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Oh my god?
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Wait wait what y that's fine?
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Are you in an open relationship?
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Yeah? Owens, I am relieve.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
I thought Nikki I was giving you the whole world
and you were going to end your marriage, but it
turns out, Wait, you're saying you have an agreement with
your husband to like just state.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
To other people.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Yeah, could you pass some of what they think about?
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Is that all?
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Could you write down some of how that how that
works to open your marriage because Brook might want to know.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
I am not talking you through this. Can I go?
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (14:41):
You you know?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Well?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Can you hear my heart beat over the radio?
Speaker 4 (14:47):
Very work out?
Speaker 1 (14:48):
I was so nervous, you know, Nikki, thank you so much.
We don't want to steal any more of your time,
and we really appreciate you sharing with us. Have a
great day. Okay, great all tell your husband Sean, what's up.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
This is one of those the more you know, the
more you know, and it's like.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
You don't want to know, but when you know, you're like, oh,
thank goodness.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Okay, so Nicky's gone. Hey, Dana, good news. Yeah, you
didn't break up a marriage.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
You're one of many women.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
My jaw.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
I forgot. She was so great forgot.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
I'm taking it that Sean didn't let you know that
he was in an open, open relationship.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
Okay, really important information you probably.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Seems like pre date info.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
It was devastating. He had his weekends mixed up, y turn.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
I'm sure it wasn't part of the rules that he
had to disclose to other people. He's in a marriage. Anyway,
we are running short on time here, Dana. So I
would love to ask, would you go on another date
with Sean when he comes back from his run.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
To take a day with Brock or something.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
We'll pay for that.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
How about a girl's.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Some cocktails?
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Okay, I was obligated just to offer. That's just what
I have to do in this Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Yeah, man, I've never been so relieved at Polyamory and.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Rook Jeffrey in the morning textboard is blowing up right
now at seventy five nine two with people saying his
wife answered exclamation question mark and she's totally cool with it.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Yeah. I mean I did not have that on my
bingo card.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
No, you know, but on her these I think it
was more dramatic for Brook than anyone.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
On the phone.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
I think the person dating the husband is I think me, Okay,
thank you, I appreciate that. Jo.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
These are the types of wholesome, good news stories that
you just don't hear about in the news anymore. That's right,
jeff I hope kt LA runs a story tonight local
married man dates two dozen women, wife is thrilled. Disney
movie oh Man, happy ending today? Sort of? I don't,
(17:01):
but hopefully we can help make your love life less devastating.
If you email the show, we can call that person
who's not calling you back. And by the way, while
you're at it, go check out all of our second
dates wherever you get your podcasts at Brook and Jeffrey
Second date of date. We've heard of people getting stood
up at the start of a date, just never showing
it's not cool.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
No, does that feels so bad?
Speaker 1 (00:11):
I've been stood up at the end of a date
where night's over, we say goodbye, and then they just
leave that you're standing at the door, so rude.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
That's the progression of.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Events, at least linger for a second before you run away.
But it's a whole different thing to get stood up
while you're still in the middle of a date.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
People go into the bathroom and then.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
But this is different. This isn't like an excuse yourself
to the bathroom mid dinner, then slip out the back situation.
This one's more personal. Apparently that's what happened to one
of our listeners, Dana, recently, so let's talk to her. Dana.
I'm sorry to hear this happen to you. How you
doing I'm.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
Not doing well. I'm a little piss off right now, to.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Be honest, it's understandable.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I mean, I don't even really get how whatever you're
describing happened.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Really, I'm thinking one of those on me at the
second bar.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Let's drive separate, see you never to learn more.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
About what happened on this date. Dana tell us the situation.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
So I got stood up on a vacation dates.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
A vacation date like when you met somebody at a resort.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
You mean, not particularly. I had met dis guy Sean
on one of the apps. I don't know if it
was travel mode or you know, his search options were everywhere,
but we connected. Okay, he's super cute, he's athletic.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
All of us are on the app, just so you know.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Well, I had a high hope. Okay, good and honestly,
like we really got along. We were talking a lot,
We're even talking on the phone, and after a couple
of weeks he he wented to fly me to LA
which is where he.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Okay, now, is that like a green flag for you?
Or are you worried about that?
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Have you?
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Have you done it before?
Speaker 4 (01:57):
I haven't. At first, I was a little aired, but
it was also kind of thrilling to me to be
close somewhere, like kind of felt romantic. I've heard both
like amazing stories and horror.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
And it's a red flag that his entire family is
waiting at the airport. I'm just assuming that's how it went.
I don't know though, Yeah, did you go?
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Did you get on the plane? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:20):
I took the invitation, but obviously I was feeling nervous, like,
how was I going to go about this? You know,
I didn't I didn't know him. I wasn't going to
stay at a house.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
I was going to ask you to get you a
hotel or did he offer free to stay in his place?
There's two big differences here.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Yeah, no, I mean I said the boundary pretty quickly,
and he offered to get me a hotel room.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I can't wait to hear them you see him?
Speaker 4 (02:44):
So it all turned out really well?
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:49):
No, I mean like when I finally met him, he
looked like his photos. We hung out all day long.
He showed me around the city.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
That's so cute.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Yeah. We had a nice dinner, we went dancing. I
felt like it was a really good date. We got
along really well. He was really easy to talk to, Like, Okay.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Well I don't understand that because at the start you
said you're really pissed. Yeah, so how does that emotion
come into play?
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Well, because the next day, after this great date, we
have plans to go to this really nice lunch place.
It's really hard to get into and I was really
excited about it. And that morning I was hanging out,
I went on to the pool and I texted him.
You know, I was just trying to be like, let's
beet up early. This life's hard to get into, you know.
(03:32):
I don't live here, so I don't know how long
it's going to take to get anywhere. And he didn't
respond at all, No, no response.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Oh man, are you like I would be kind of like, oh,
something must have happened, you know what I mean, Like
you wouldn't assume that somebody would fly you all the
way out there and then just.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Not did you right?
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Did you ask?
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Yeah? So I texted him again, there's still no response.
I ended up getting an uber and going to the restaurant.
He didn't show up. Oh my gosh, can I text
him again like where is he and asking him straight
up if he's pitching me?
Speaker 2 (04:09):
And did he ever respond?
Speaker 4 (04:11):
He responded later that evening and he said, I'm sorry
I've been unresponsive. I've had some devastating news.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Oh god, did he share? I mean god, I mean
that's a pretty good excuse.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
He did not share that anything that's too vague?
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Yeah, like my favorite sports team loses, I'm devastating.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
You assume really bad, like someone in the family died,
or like he got fired or something.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Okay, so you immediately believe him. As soon as he
says devastating news, he gets a free passage.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Are you the word devastating?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Yeah, just like vocabular, you don't give him the benefit
of the doubt in that moment.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Never never give them the benefit of the doubt. We
will take advantage every time. Okay, at least would say, well,
I hope no one passed away or whatever you're going through.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
I'm so sorry. I'm here for you, and then he should.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Say something next Okay, So, yeah, what happened? Where did
the conversation go from there?
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Well?
Speaker 4 (05:11):
I didn't hear from him after that, and I just
decided to fly. I fell you out the next day.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Yeah, I mean, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Yeah, I didn't hear from him, and I'm really wondering, like,
what in the world happened?
Speaker 2 (05:23):
And you still haven't heard from him.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
No, And it's really confusing. And this is why I'm pissed.
It's because we had such a great date that it
makes no sense that he would just, you know, say
there's devastating news, not share with me what it is?
And then he stood me up?
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Yeah? How long?
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Oh this has been two and a half weeks. A
long time.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Can I ask you flew into a new city, he
met you at the hotel. Did you ever see his house?
Speaker 4 (05:51):
No? I didn't, but I didn't want to see a house.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
I just wondering if maybe there's like a second family,
or a sam.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
He's married, or you know, like hotel.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yeah, I just I mean, there's so much you don't
know about this guy.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
I didn't even think about that.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
I did my preliminary Google search at this person. I
didn't find anything about a second family, but you know
that doesn't mean that doesn't exist.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Did you check the local papers about any devastating news
that could have been.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
A devastation column?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
I love that column. Yeah, I don't even know how
you checked the news. Don't worry, it's online. Why don't
you google some devastating information in the Los Angeles area?
And when we come back, I don't think a whole
lot of bad stuff happens there. But when we come back,
we'll try and get you your second date update with
with the guy who stood you up in the middle
(06:42):
of your vacation date.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
Right after this hold on second date update, when a
person you're on a date with doesn't contact you for
a few days and then finally replies with sorry, I.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Just received some devastating news but doesn't elaborate. Should that
be a red flag? The ladies in the room surprisingly said.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
No, I think you need to hear the person.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
One believe him, They said, men don't lie about devastating news.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Benefit of a doubt, Jeff, that was my exact words.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Tomato, tomato. You know, Lexus gives him credit just for
using a big word with lots of letters.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
You can't lie if you're saying devastated.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
So what is it?
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Sending him flowers and flying him to her?
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Now?
Speaker 3 (07:32):
I feel so bad.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
That's so kind. The bottom line is Dana was left
hanging in the middle of a vacation date for the
guy flew her out to l A and now he
hasn't even responded to her for two weeks after he
just ditched her.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Oh my god, it's wild. I think that he's got
a wife and kids. I'm telling you, it's not just devastating.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
You would have elaborated days later.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
He's like the devastating news. The kids are still in
this house.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
That would be tragic, so understandably, Dana wants answers here.
We're gonna call him. His name is Sean, right, Dana, Yeah, okay,
I just want to make sure we have that.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
And how mad are you are you? Because you said
you were on I'm just wondering at what point you're
gonna yell at him.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
I mean, if we can get him on the phone
and I can talk to him like my time is valuable.
I came to a different city to see him, like
I did him a favor.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
You wife are gone because of him.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
You got a good story.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Yeah, you do it for the plot.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Probably nice into stories while you were there.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Yeah. Yeah, it's not like we got nothing out of
this trip. But hopefully we can at least get some
resolution for you, assuming he answers the phone. So I'm
gonna dial it right now.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Yeah, good luck?
Speaker 1 (08:48):
All right?
Speaker 2 (08:49):
They never wish us luck?
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Sweet? Here we go. Hello, Hi? Is this sorry? We're
looking for Seawan? Sewan there, No, he's out for a run.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Can I take a message for you?
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Yeah? Well, well hold on, Well.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Okay, I think we just need to ask who's.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
This Yeah, who's this?
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Who is this?
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Are there's several of you.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Go on, Well, we're a radio show. We're called Brook
and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Is this Shawn's number?
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Yeah? Did he sign up for something?
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Are you a family member of Seawan's?
Speaker 4 (09:36):
I mean you could say that.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
What do you mean like you're a sister?
Speaker 4 (09:43):
I'm his wife?
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Okay, right, so Hi, sorry to bother you. You we're radio show.
Do you mind if we put you on hold for
a second?
Speaker 4 (09:55):
I mean, okay, I don't have all day.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Yeah, sorry, we'll be right back to you. Just hold on.
Can we put her on old?
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Okay, we got her?
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Oh my god? All right?
Speaker 1 (10:04):
So continue or.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Wants that to be the truth?
Speaker 2 (10:09):
I was like, worst case scenario.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
I thought you were wrong.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Oh my god?
Speaker 1 (10:14):
What kind of called it?
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Here?
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Not? It's not an entire second family? Or maybe it is.
My wife is a second is the family? There might
be kids there too, but we have at least got
a wife, Dana. Dana, how are you feeling?
Speaker 4 (10:27):
Are you How am I supposed to respond to this?
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Do you want to tell her?
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Or are you still in on Sean? We don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Well, this is the first time we will not be
offering a second date at the end.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
We can't do this.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
No, this is awful.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
I have been cheated on before, and the fact that
knowing now that I might be a participant in somebody
else's affair infuriated.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Do you want to tell her? Do you want to
talk to her? Can we do that?
Speaker 4 (10:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
I don't want to tell her.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Unfortunately, it's not surprising because unfortunately a lot of guys
do end up doing stuff like this. But how do
we want to handle this? Because there's really, in my mind,
there's three options for us to go here. Number one,
we just hang up, We leave it alone, hands off.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Of it, the coward's way out.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
I'm not opposed to it. Number two. Number two, have
Dana speak to the wife and fill her in on
the truth about what's happening.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
She's going to do it calmly.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
If she's going to do that, that's not going to happen.
Or we go option three, my favorite, have Brooke speak
to the wife. For Dana, Brook has been dying to
let her age out onto some sort of ye you
do your kids cheating?
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Don't you want to help?
Speaker 1 (11:44):
And when we started the call, you literally asked when
are you gonna yell at him?
Speaker 3 (11:47):
You can do it now.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
I think that if Brook can set this up, I
think speak to her. But I don't want to. I
just don't want to come in and my god.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Okay, that's a good choice, Dana. I feel like this
is going to be really emotional for you. So it's
good to have Brooke, who's notoriously even keel, the opposite
of even the marriage.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
I mean, okay, here's the thing. We are not breaking
up this marriage. That man is the one that broke
up his marriage. Absolutely fine, I'll do it.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
He's gonna really, You're gonna really do it.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
I mean, somebody has to. This woman has to know.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Brook tell her the truth.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Come on, I got your back here.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Excuse devastating news. Let's make it a real thing word
for me forever. Now, all right, let's punch the wife
back up. Okay, Hello, hello, Hey, sorry about that. So
we are back, and actually my co host Brooke would
like to speak with you.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
I didn't get your name.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
What's your name, Nikki?
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Hi, Nikki. It's so you're probably wondering why we'recalling, how
we got your husband's phone number. I'm gonna tell you
not great news on that front. Okay, because the reason
we have your husband Sean's phone number is because we
(13:16):
do a segment on our show called the Second Date.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Update, typically very fun segment.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Yeah. So typically people go on a first date and
when they aren't getting a call back from that person,
then we call and find out why, Like, what did
they do wrong on the date?
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Well, they were a funny hat.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Breath?
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Does that make sound sticky?
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Okay, so that's why we got your husband's phone number.
We didn't realize he was a husband. Your husband apparently
flew another woman into Los Angeles to take her out
for a romantic time.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
Yeah, okay, I mean we trade off weeks, we do
stuff with other people. Don't really see how that's any
of your business.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Oh my god?
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Wait wait what y that's fine?
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Are you in an open relationship?
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Yeah? Owens, I am relieve.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
I thought Nikki I was giving you the whole world
and you were going to end your marriage, but it
turns out, Wait, you're saying you have an agreement with
your husband to like just state.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
To other people.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Yeah, could you pass some of what they think about?
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Is that all?
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Could you write down some of how that how that
works to open your marriage because Brook might want to know.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
I am not talking you through this. Can I go?
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (14:41):
You you know?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Well?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Can you hear my heart beat over the radio?
Speaker 4 (14:47):
Very work out?
Speaker 1 (14:48):
I was so nervous, you know, Nikki, thank you so much.
We don't want to steal any more of your time,
and we really appreciate you sharing with us. Have a
great day. Okay, great all tell your husband Sean, what's up.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
This is one of those the more you know, the
more you know, and it's like.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
You don't want to know, but when you know, you're like, oh,
thank goodness.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Okay, so Nicky's gone. Hey, Dana, good news. Yeah, you
didn't break up a marriage.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
You're one of many women.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
My jaw.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
I forgot. She was so great forgot.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
I'm taking it that Sean didn't let you know that
he was in an open, open relationship.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
Okay, really important information you probably.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Seems like pre date info.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
It was devastating. He had his weekends mixed up, y turn.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
I'm sure it wasn't part of the rules that he
had to disclose to other people. He's in a marriage. Anyway,
we are running short on time here, Dana. So I
would love to ask, would you go on another date
with Sean when he comes back from his run.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
To take a day with Brock or something.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
We'll pay for that.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
How about a girl's.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Some cocktails?
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Okay, I was obligated just to offer. That's just what
I have to do in this Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Yeah, man, I've never been so relieved at Polyamory and.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Rook Jeffrey in the morning textboard is blowing up right
now at seventy five nine two with people saying his
wife answered exclamation question mark and she's totally cool with it.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Yeah. I mean I did not have that on my
bingo card.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
No, you know, but on her these I think it
was more dramatic for Brook than anyone.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
On the phone.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
I think the person dating the husband is I think me, Okay,
thank you, I appreciate that. Jo.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
These are the types of wholesome, good news stories that
you just don't hear about in the news anymore. That's right,
jeff I hope kt LA runs a story tonight local
married man dates two dozen women, wife is thrilled. Disney
movie oh Man, happy ending today? Sort of? I don't,
(17:01):
but hopefully we can help make your love life less devastating.
If you email the show, we can call that person
who's not calling you back. And by the way, while
