Speaker 2 (00:04):
Start party.

Speaker 3 (00:05):
I'm ready to party.

Speaker 1 (00:07):
The elvist Ran After Party.

Speaker 4 (00:11):
Podcast wasn't that long ago.

Speaker 5 (00:16):
Were talking about the.

Speaker 4 (00:18):
Danger of surprising people showing up without being announced, flying
across the country and just showing up at their door
without them.

Speaker 6 (00:26):
Knowing you're coming.

Speaker 4 (00:28):
I think it's a bad idea. And I've gone to
you surprised her sister for her birthday weekend, for sure,
and luckily that turned out Okay, it did.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
It turned out great. I also talked to my brother
in law about it before I got there, so he
was on it and you know, like doing things, making
sure the house was clean, whatever, so it wasn't traumatic
for her. But yeah, I've popped up on people without
telling them before. I always think this is a bad
college thing, Like, you know, you're doing that long distance
relationship when you went to this college and they went

(00:59):
to that college. Like I'm going to show up in surprise.

Speaker 4 (01:02):
That you show up on campus without without a learning.
Do not do that. That doesn't Yeah, yeah, frog.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
I was on a I don't know how this ended,
but I was on an airplane one time. If you remember,
I was going over to Germany to see our ship
Bliss for Norwegi whan it wasn't being built in the
meyer worthshipyard. And next to me on the flight was
a woman who was going to surprise her husband. He
was at work in Germany and she was surprising him.
He had no idea, and the whole time, I'm thinking

(01:30):
this may not go well. He may not be alone
in Germany. I have no idea how it ended. But
in my mind I'm like, eh, I don't think that's
a good idea.

Speaker 4 (01:39):
Well, we have people calling in. Brandy is online four.
This happened to Brandy. So Hi, Brandy, good morning. So
you flew to surprise your fiance in Mississippi And what
did you find when you when you showed up to
surprise your feelings?

Speaker 2 (01:59):
Yeah, I think you should rised me more than I
surprised him. But we would go see each other every
four to six weeks, and every now and then surprised
each other. So I flew down there to where he
was living. I got there early in the morning and
I went to his apartment, knocked on the door, let
myself in because I had a key. Oh, and there
he was in bed with another woman. She looked at

(02:23):
me and said, who are you? I'm his fiance and
I thought that's interesting because I'm his fiance too.

Speaker 4 (02:34):
And what did he say?

Speaker 5 (02:36):
How did he handle this?

Speaker 2 (02:38):
He was very quiet. He didn't know what to do.
So yeah, we basically left the bedroom and made it
downstairs to the couch and he was sitting between the
two of us. I was really interested in what she
was going to do. I learned that she knew about me,
but I hadn't known about her.

Speaker 4 (03:00):
I've got more proof for you here why you shouldn't
surprise people. Let's could go to line six. Julia from
Virginia Beach. Hi, Julia, Hi, So I hear okay, your
ex was having an affair with a nursing school student.

Speaker 7 (03:17):
Correct, And so, who's surprised you?

Speaker 6 (03:20):
And what happened? He's overseas in Japan, and he walked
in on their house and caught them having sex in
their guest bedroom, which apparently was very nasty and dirty,
because she's a dirty troll and that's what I call her.
So yeah, what happened, and what he did was because

(03:41):
he was so mad, he walked out and throw a
liquor bottle and they have a child together, and she
decided to go to his command at the Navy and
get him in trouble about it and say that he's
abusive and try to get full custody of their kids.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
Wow, my kid.

Speaker 4 (03:57):
So see, this is here's my point. If you're going
to surprise someone, you're if you find something out, it's
it's going to be the end of whatever the relationship is.
But aren't you glad? I mean you know what I'm saying.
You want it, You need for it to end, even
though I guess.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
The better you find out, right, all right?

Speaker 4 (04:18):
Well, thank you Mike. Yeah, sure.

Speaker 5 (04:21):
So I feel anytime a woman does a surprise visit,
I think it's not to see the guy, it's to
see if he's doing something.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
Yes, only a woman.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
Men don't do that.

Speaker 6 (04:34):
I don't. I don't.

Speaker 5 (04:35):
As a guy, I don't think I would.

Speaker 4 (04:36):
I bet men do absolutely.

Speaker 6 (04:38):
What do you kidd me?

Speaker 5 (04:39):
But that is my take on the oh I'm gonna
surprise you.

Speaker 4 (04:46):
It's the worst idea ever.

Speaker 7 (04:49):
A buddy of mine was dating a girl while he
was living down in del Rey's, this Venezuelan girl that
he met down there, and they made sure that it
was This is what it was.

Speaker 5 (04:58):
It was what it was.

Speaker 7 (04:59):
He moved back up north the Oboken and then a
couple of weeks later came a knock on his door
and it was her. She showed up and she goes,
I just missed you. No, you were trying to catch
me in action to make and luckily have you been
hurt by Luckily, his cousin happened to be staying over.

(05:20):
There was nothing the farious going on, but he had
to have a good talking with her and saying, hey, look,
I got my job to do up here. You just
can't just surprise me in the middle.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
Of nowhere because I'm working so hard on those jet skis.
Yeah exactly, I didn't say that.

Speaker 7 (05:36):
You said, God.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
And by the way, why is it important that you
had to tell she's Venezuela?

Speaker 7 (05:41):
Because she helped her get her driver's license.

Speaker 5 (05:44):
And I said, this story is like an onion.

Speaker 7 (05:49):
He helped her get her driver's license, and then she
used it to drive all the way up here.

Speaker 6 (05:54):
To see him.

Speaker 4 (05:55):
And she used a driver's license to drive, Okay, she
used job.

Speaker 7 (06:02):
He helped her get weird. I said, it's your own fault.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Bro, Oh my god, just genuinely wanted to surprise right now.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
Against Nate gets Nate's belief. Wasn't there a radio guy
that one time played recorded audio of himself and he
went home and caught his wife in bed with it
with another dude while he was supposed to be on
the air. Yes, yes, guys do it too.

Speaker 7 (06:27):
I tell that to Alex all the time.

Speaker 4 (06:28):

today before
