Speaker 1 (00:00):
One of our listeners came home the other day to
find his front door wide open. Half the stuff in
his place was gone, along with a very bizarre handwritten
note left for him on his kitchen towel. What the
heck and what that message said led him down a
very very bizarre path where he was doing research online

(00:21):
following people's cars around town, and it brought him to
this moment where he wants to make an awkward phone
call to a total stranger to warn them that the
same thing might be about to happen to them.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Oh my gosh, this sounds like a mystery again.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Apparently you're gonna hear the full story when we do
your awkward Tuesday phone call right after this It's awkward,
It's Tuesday.

Speaker 3 (00:50):
It's awkward Tuesday phone call.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
A few months ago, we did a second Date update
with a guy named Sean, And if you're a regular
listener to the show or to our podcast A Jeffrey
Go Follow subscribe, you might remember Sean being trapped in
an elevator with a woman for forty five minutes. Ye
this song was playing over the elevator speakers the entire time.
I'd repeat, right, that's how good our research.

Speaker 4 (01:14):
Is okay, Yeah, it makes sense.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
That woman's name was Nicole, and they ended up agreeing
to go out again and actually became an item boyfriend
and girlfriend. But now Sean has reached out to us
for an awkward Tuesday phone call in regards to Nicole
the full circle right now? Is this a good call
we're gonna make or a bad call? Sean?

Speaker 5 (01:37):
You know it's not a great call.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Oh I do it? Okay.

Speaker 4 (01:42):
I was like, we were invested in you two as
a couple. I'll create this were together.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
Yeah, but in the last ten seconds, we are really invested.
So let's tell us what happened, dude, what happened with
you and Nicole?

Speaker 5 (01:58):
All right? We've been dating for like three okay, and
she moved in whoa wow. Yeah, probably a little too
quick in retrospect.

Speaker 4 (02:07):
Yeah, are you guys already broken up?

Speaker 5 (02:10):
Well, it's kind of a gray area right now.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
Tell us the story of what happened.

Speaker 5 (02:16):
Okay. So I came home from work after we've been together,
like living together for about a month, okay, and the
front door was wide open.

Speaker 6 (02:24):
Oh no, was your heart just beating? I always think
that that means something really bad.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
If she made that heating bill, go up break up
with her?

Speaker 5 (02:32):
Okay, you know that heating bill was the least of
my concerns at the time.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
It's not funny sight, So that's obviously weird to come
home and see your front door open. Did you go
in or do you call somebody?

Speaker 5 (02:44):
I went in because I was like, I didn't know
if something was wrong, like like if you did help
or something. So I was like, hello, no answer. I
go in and all of her stuff is gone.

Speaker 6 (02:55):
WHOA.

Speaker 5 (02:57):
Well, initially I was like, did I get robbed?

Speaker 4 (02:59):
What'd you do? Did you call her?

Speaker 5 (03:01):
Well? There was a note. I found a note on
the kitchen counter.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
A ransom note or just a note written for me.

Speaker 6 (03:09):
I we've established this, she's not in trouble.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
What did it say?

Speaker 5 (03:14):
It says I feel awful that I couldn't tell you
this in person. But I met someone else.

Speaker 4 (03:18):
WHOA, Oh my god.

Speaker 5 (03:20):
She's like, you're a great guy. I'm so sorry.

Speaker 6 (03:24):
Oh, I mean, that's just so much. It's like, you're
only four months into the relationship. But also, you guys
invested a lot real quickly.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
What was going through your mind when you read that?

Speaker 5 (03:35):
Well, at this point, I'm like, is she alive, I
just want to make sure she's okay.

Speaker 4 (03:38):
Wait, you haven't talked to her at all.

Speaker 5 (03:40):
So I tried to call her, I texted her, I
DMed her, nothing nothing. Yeah. I was like, I guess
what I need to do is go to her work.
You know, if she's okay, at least she'll be at
work totally.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
Nothing bad or awkward happens when you go to your
ex's workplace and try and ask questions.

Speaker 6 (04:01):
That's the thing, Like you're kind of fronting that you
were worried about her health and safety, but you knew
that she was healthy and safe.

Speaker 4 (04:08):
She just then I can Yeah, Like, let's be honest.

Speaker 6 (04:13):
You were going there, how are you feeling pulling up
in her parking lot?

Speaker 5 (04:17):
I was like ready to be angry, but I didn't
want to be angry until I knew she was alive.

Speaker 4 (04:22):
Why did you think she wasn't alive?

Speaker 1 (04:24):
Keep bringing that point.

Speaker 4 (04:26):
Dead people don't leave.

Speaker 5 (04:27):
You know, if she was kidnapped or something, Look, that
would be.

Speaker 4 (04:32):
A smart kidnapper.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Note, though, someone else you're leaving, leaving a whole bunch
of breadcrumbs for alibis for yourself here. So what happens
when you do get to her work.

Speaker 5 (04:44):
Well, I go to her work and I pull in
right behind this pickup truck, and she gets out of
the pickup truck.

Speaker 4 (04:54):
With the other guy and drives her to work.

Speaker 5 (04:56):
She kisses this guy in the pickup truck.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Was he like super handsome too?

Speaker 5 (05:05):
I'm officially angry he's not bad looking at that sucks?

Speaker 4 (05:09):
Yeah, what you do? Did you go home?

Speaker 5 (05:14):
I followed, I followed the truck.

Speaker 4 (05:16):
No, yes, I see. We all get it. We all
want to know, but we know we shouldn't.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
Well, where'd the truck go?

Speaker 5 (05:29):
He went to his house and I wrote his address down.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
My gosh, we.

Speaker 4 (05:34):
Started to get creepy.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
I feel like if I was in that same situation,
I might do the same exact thing. Yeah, to work.

Speaker 4 (05:43):
And talk to her. I think over following the dude home,
But I.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
Wouldn't talk about you, buddy.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
I would just cud of went off, and I'd go
cry every night about it for seven years and still
think about my ex like I currently do.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
If you're listening, sorry, sorry.

Speaker 4 (05:55):
Why did you write her the address down? Did you
plan to go back?

Speaker 5 (05:59):
I wanted to want to google who this guy was.

Speaker 4 (06:02):
Okay, what did you find out this.

Speaker 5 (06:05):
Guy named Mitch. I found his Instagram and he has
a girlfriend.

Speaker 4 (06:11):
It's not your Nicole.

Speaker 5 (06:14):
Not Nicole, a different girl.

Speaker 3 (06:17):
Karma has already got her. Then, bro, that you don't
have to worry about that.

Speaker 7 (06:20):
I don't know that.

Speaker 4 (06:21):
Are you sure it's the right person?

Speaker 5 (06:24):
I'm positive that's the truck was in one of the pictures.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
Okay, so what do you want to do with your
awkward call here? Who are we reaching out to?

Speaker 5 (06:32):
I want to call Mitch's girlfriend?

Speaker 4 (06:35):
How did you stop?

Speaker 5 (06:37):
Like? They're probably tagged? She tagged in the photo.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
I liked this In the world of petty, It's like, okay, buddy,
you ruined my relationship, now.

Speaker 4 (06:46):
I'm going to ruin yours. I don't know about this.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
Think about it. Would you want to get this call
letting you know your significant other was doing no good
behind your back? Or would you just rather be blissfully ignorant?

Speaker 4 (06:59):
I don't know that, like I did. There's just so
many variables here that we could just have the wrong idea.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
I want to do this just for a pure ratings
reason to do it. I think it's just interesting to hear.

Speaker 4 (07:10):
Well, there's the honesty that we need it.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
I love the messiness. Bless this mess. We're gonna come
down and we're gonna call this girl and tell her
there's a possibility that her boyfriend is sneaking around behind
her back and she doesn't know it. Before we move on,
what advice are you looking for from us? Real quick?

Speaker 5 (07:27):
I just think that if I have a radio station,
like a radio show on my side, it'll be a
little more believable than if I had just some random
guy contacting her exactly.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
Yeah, it's just a random call, and it's like, how
would you trust that person? Yeah, we're not the most
trustworthy people, but at least we have strengthen numbers.

Speaker 5 (07:47):
Well, we're a.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
Radio show if she believes us, but if she doesn't,
we'll just say we're a podcast.

Speaker 4 (07:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
Yeah, we're gonna do your awkward Tuesday phone call right
after this.

Speaker 3 (07:59):
It's just it's awkward Tuesday phone call.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
Hell, hath no fury like a Brook and Jeffrey listener scorned.
Sean was scorned big time. And I'm trying to make
this recap as short as possible. But months ago he
did a second date update with us with a woman
named Nicole. They ended up dating for three months when
she moved in. Yes, thirty days later she.

Speaker 4 (08:26):
Moved out, yeah, without notice, unannounced?

Speaker 1 (08:29):
Yes, So Sean wanted answers on why ended up going
to her work, and that's where he saw Nicole getting
out of a pickup truck kissing another dude.

Speaker 6 (08:38):
To be fair, she did leave a note saying I
left you for another person, so it wasn't like he wasn't.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
Expecting to see that though when he followed her to
her work. That's why Sean followed the guy to an address,
did some online snooping and other research that I'm guessing
is one hundred percent legal, and found out that this
guy has another girlfriend. That's why he needs our help today.
He has the other girl's phone number and wants to
sound believable when he calls to tell her the story,

(09:06):
so that she actually might buy it and doesn't just
hang up on him. Jose, this is pretty complex, So
I'm glad you're going to be the first one giving advice.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
I am too, Jazz, what.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
Do you have to say to Sean?

Speaker 2 (09:15):
Look, man, if you want to sound believable, you can't
be yourself if you come across as a scorned X.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
Oh yeah, that just throws up a bunch of red flags.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
Oh, I say, you need to pretend that you're someone
else in his life.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
I don't know if you're a cousin or like a oh.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
World, Oh you want him to out lie about not?

Speaker 2 (09:34):
Yes, you are now a random person in his life.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
Jehan, What do you think of that idea, pretending like
you already know him to build a little credibility.

Speaker 5 (09:44):
Yes, honestly, I think that's a great idea.

Speaker 3 (09:46):
Well, thank you.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
That's why they go to me first on this one.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
To a long road to get there, but I think
we got somewhere.

Speaker 6 (09:54):
Yeah. I mean, I get what you're saying, Jose, because
it does sound super creepy if he includes a lot
of details about how he found this guy Mitch, Google
search and the following, But also like, you need.

Speaker 4 (10:06):
To focus on intent. So you got hurt.

Speaker 6 (10:10):
It's terrible, and you don't want her to go through
the same thing. You don't want anyone to go through
the same thing.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
I think she hangs up on that advice. Do you
think Sean.

Speaker 3 (10:20):
Really good?

Speaker 5 (10:21):
I think I'm gonna go with the first plan.

Speaker 4 (10:24):
I'm gonna find out.

Speaker 7 (10:25):
You're a liar, y stalked her.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
Her boyfriend is the ultimate liar.

Speaker 4 (10:31):
At this point, it's like two lies.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
Make it right, Sean, you feel ready?

Speaker 5 (10:36):
I think I'm ready.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
Maybe be a neighbor.

Speaker 4 (10:39):
You could be a neighbor. You know where he lives.
You might live with him. That's a good point.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
I'm trying to get in on the line as vague
as you possibly can with your lines, but best of luck,
we'll jump in when we feel like you need a
little help.

Speaker 5 (10:53):
All right, I am so nervous right now.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
It's good. Mitch's very nervous friend and good. I like
that if you're building a character for yourself.

Speaker 5 (11:04):
Here we go.

Speaker 8 (11:11):
Hello.

Speaker 4 (11:14):
Hi?

Speaker 5 (11:16):
Is this Michelle?

Speaker 8 (11:18):
Yes? This is she who's speaking?

Speaker 6 (11:21):
Hi?

Speaker 5 (11:23):
I'm Sean. I work with Mitch boy or you're married?

Speaker 8 (11:29):
Yeah, he's my boyfriend? Is is everything?

Speaker 3 (11:31):
Okay?

Speaker 5 (11:33):
Oh? He's fine, he's fine. The reason the reason for
my call is that Mitch has been leaving work in
the middle of the day and he's gone. He's gone
for a few hours, and then he comes back to
the office and he's just super happy with a big
old grin on his face.

Speaker 8 (11:55):
How did you get this number?

Speaker 5 (11:57):
I'm what it seems like maybe you're not listening. He's
leaving work and he's coming back really happy, like.

Speaker 8 (12:08):
He had a good lunch happy.

Speaker 5 (12:10):
Maybe you mean he had a great lunch and it's
affecting his work. So if you could just stop him.

Speaker 8 (12:20):
I mean, stop what I have. What are you trying
to insinuate right now?

Speaker 5 (12:24):
Whatever you're doing to entice Mitch to come home with
you for you know, romance, good loving whatever. He's not
doing his job, is what I'm saying. And so if
you could stop doing that.

Speaker 8 (12:43):
But I'm not meeting Mitch at lunch, that's just not Oh.
I have my own job, I have my own work schedule.
I literally cannot do that.

Speaker 5 (12:53):
That's certainly interesting because do you think you think he
might be meeting someone else?

Speaker 8 (13:01):
Okay, what's going on here?

Speaker 5 (13:06):
I just think maybe he's seeing somebody at lunch.

Speaker 8 (13:14):
You must be his manager or something. And I think
I might know where he's been going during that time.

Speaker 5 (13:20):
Where where do you think he's going?

Speaker 8 (13:22):
Well, how do I pase this?

Speaker 4 (13:26):
Uh?

Speaker 8 (13:26):
He has been donating his genetics to produce themselves.

Speaker 5 (13:37):
Well, if I think I know what you're saying, that
he's making deposits correct, right, Well, I think you're you're
kind of there. Excuse me. I don't think he's making
deposits to a reputable organization. I think he's donating to
my ex girlfriend.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
Oh wow, conversation couldn't have gone worse into it.

Speaker 8 (14:09):
Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait, what's going on here?
What's happening?

Speaker 3 (14:12):
Michelle?

Speaker 6 (14:13):
Hi?

Speaker 1 (14:14):
First of all, we are so sorry for the conversation
that just happened. But this is called an awkward Tuesday
phone call.

Speaker 4 (14:20):
We're radio show, Michelle. We've been listening.

Speaker 8 (14:24):
This is this a prank or something? Please tell me
this is just some sort of joke one of his
buddies is doing on me.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
I wish it was a prank, but really, we're trying
to help out our listener, Sean here, who has something
hard that he needs to tell you. Sean, I feel
like you should take it from here.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
Say it now.

Speaker 5 (14:43):
Yeah. So I had a girlfriend. She left me, and
then I went to her work and she was getting
out of your boyfriend's pickup and kissing him. What And
I think your boyfriend is cheating on you with my girlfriend.

Speaker 8 (15:02):
I know bitch better than anyone, and I know exactly
what's going on in his life and where he goes.
This is just ridiculous.

Speaker 5 (15:09):
Well, you don't know this. This is something you don't know,
and I'm telling you right now.

Speaker 8 (15:14):
I'm finding this very hard to believe, having some random
person call me through the radio and make these wild
accusations which cannot be true. I don't believe this, and.

Speaker 6 (15:26):
Honestly, maybe maybe you shouldn't right now, but maybe this
will lead to some conversations that you should have with
your boyfriend Mitch about where you guys are at in
your relationship, or if.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
You want to avoid that, just put a tracker on
his truck and see where it goes.

Speaker 5 (15:42):
Help. Well, you know, I give you the address of
my ex girlfriend's job, and you could meet me there
tomorrow and we can see the sea for yourself.

Speaker 1 (15:51):
Well that's an invitation you won't find on a Hallmark card.
But what do you think, Michelle, you want to go
stock your ex boyfriend with a total stranger job.

Speaker 6 (16:00):
I'm saying, it's not eight thousand red flags that even
just came up for me.

Speaker 4 (16:05):
I'm gonna say you shouldn't do that, Michelle.

Speaker 5 (16:07):
I'm just saying, Michelle, I was where you were once.
I trusted my partner. I thought I wasn't I thought
it was true love. And that nothing could ever come
between us. And now I see the light, and I'm
just trying to help you see the truth too.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
I will say Sean is coming from a genuine place.
Like we heard his story earlier and it sounded pretty believable. Yeah, seriously,
and he was heartbroken, so he just he really seems
like he's looking out for you. Here the best case scenario,
Shawn's mistaken, but it's totally up to you.

Speaker 8 (16:41):
Yeah, I can't believe I'm doing this. Give me the address.

Speaker 3 (16:46):
Yeah, we're rolling stockings.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
But what are you doing.

Speaker 8 (16:55):
I need to figure this out for myself, whether it's
true or not true, and just put an end to
hopefully this print call, you know, and.

Speaker 3 (17:03):
You don't even need to confront anyone.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
Just wait in the parking lot and when you see it,
you know it's official, and then you can move on
and you're not gonna have to cause a scene.

Speaker 4 (17:11):
You have to confront that, yes, cause to cause a
scene if this all pans out to be true.

Speaker 6 (17:17):
I mean, because he could turn out this is all
just a weird thing and he's got the wrong person.

Speaker 1 (17:22):
They're probably just friends and she had stuff on her
lip and he was getting it off for her. Put
some caramel up.

Speaker 3 (17:29):
There, jeff Clean Frooks mouth off all, Yeah, what friends do?

Speaker 6 (17:37):
We're sorry about the news, Michelle, I mean really, yeah, definitely.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
Can Will you please do us a favor and let
us know what happens when you go to the address.

Speaker 8 (17:44):
I'll let you know if his belongings are on our
front lawn by the end of the day.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
Also, could we get the name of that genetics donation
center that he uses? That is the case we need.

Speaker 4 (17:56):
Anything you get a collected you.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
Never could be good Saturday or something you literally can't
do anything with it alone. I don't know how this works.

Speaker 6 (18:10):
Freaking Jeffrey in the morning.

Speaker 4 (18:13):
Okay, this is the moment that I wish. I wish
we could come in with closure, I know, but we
don't have yet either.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
Oh geez.

Speaker 6 (18:21):
We have asked for an update from these two, from
both parties involved, and we have heard nothing, which either
means that everyone forgot about it, It's no big.

Speaker 7 (18:30):
Deal, it wasn't what they thought or got feelings said yeah,
or everyone.

Speaker 6 (18:36):
Got busted for cheating. No one's together anymore and everyone's
moved on.

Speaker 7 (18:39):
Yeah, and nobody list Tom there traumatized.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
Yeah, why would you want to revisit?

Speaker 6 (18:45):
Yeah, so, you know what, we do have a lot
of comments that have come in.

Speaker 7 (18:50):
My gosh, so many. I need an updates. I want
to follow and I'm biting my nails. I'm ready to
go FBI level stalking.

Speaker 4 (18:58):
Well, I mean, if you do that, we update us.
I'm not encouraging it.

Speaker 3 (19:02):
But also I almost asked.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
The elections if they're in the comments somehow.

Speaker 7 (19:07):
No, but someone did say that they think the two
callers should get together, the two people both being cheated.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
I thought that I was like, that would but that's
more petty to get back at people.

Speaker 3 (19:17):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
If you're both cute, Hey, as long as you're single,
that's the point.

Speaker 4 (19:24):
Okay, that's a good call in Jose.

Speaker 6 (19:26):
Well, I'm sorry we can't give you the closure you wanted,
but we do appreciate you listening, and I guess it
will just take this as.

Speaker 4 (19:31):
A life lesson.

Speaker 3 (19:31):
Hey, just know we're going to lose sleep tonight too.

Speaker 6 (19:33):
Okay, it's Brick and Jeffrey in the morning.
