Speaker 1 (00:00):
Someone I don't know sent me a Valentine's Day card.
They got it two days before Valentine's Day. It was
mailed to my work address and arrived two days before
Valentine's Day. Oh, that isn't near. I doubt that it's
one of my coworkers, but I am unable to verify that. Also,
(00:20):
I have no idea what the letter means. Can someone help?
I have the contents of the letter of the Valentine
be a clue?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Right?
Speaker 1 (00:31):
You want me to just explain it, or you want
to write it down so you have it in front
of you.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
It's very easy. It's very easy.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Wait, is that like a puzzle?
Speaker 4 (00:38):
The well, it's a mystery. Actually two words? This is
a traditional greeting card? Or is this like a Valentine
which is more sometimes like a postcard?
Speaker 1 (00:50):
I can tell you no, No, it's a card. It
is a card on the out like the what do
you call that? The face of the card is just
a bunch of hearts and like for Valentine's Day, no text.
You open it. No, you open the card and there
is two words.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
With love. Right under that is a little heart that's
colored in under that is a question mark. Under that.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Eight nine dot three, And this is all handwritten eight
nine dot three.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
That wasn't for you, guys, I was for Kristen.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Was that a blank card? And all of that is written?
Or was with love printed on the card?
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Already?
Speaker 1 (01:46):
I feel like with love was printed on the card
by looking at it.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
What about the heart underneath that?
Speaker 1 (01:52):
I think the heart is colored in may maybe it
was part of the card or not.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
But the question mark and.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
The question mark in the number are one handwritten. Okay,
question mark eight nine dot three.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Hm, And that's it. Diane seems to have solved this
very quickly.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Here we go from somebody that works at that radio station.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
The okay, Diane who works at eighty nine point three
Marbarea Dill We No.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
I can understand why you would go with a frequency
theory there.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Oh, I can understand that.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
But wouldn't the person just go, oh, I know someone
who works at eighty nine point three.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Oh man, it's definitely a decimal. They said, it's a dot,
and it's not the dot of the question mark. It's
a separate correct Yeah. Look, so I'll show you right here. See. Oh, okay,
I thought you were reading a description. You have the
(02:58):
actual picture.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Yeah, I'm reading it.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Yeah, let me see, I can put that on. Let
me see so I can.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Oh, you want to put it up. By the way,
it's going to look exactly as I explained.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Oh, but I mean everybody has their own interpretation of
what you said.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
I didn't mention that the hearts on the front flap
were embossed.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
The I told you there's hearts all on the front.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
But you didn't say that there was texture there put up.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Yeah, it's loading. Oh there you go.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
See.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
I think the heart is colored in.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
I think that's on there. Yeah, it's a pretty good job.
But what's going on was the pen running out of ink.
They've retraced everything multiple times.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
I've done that in the past.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Or a secret admirer. They're not putting in much effort, Diana.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Actually it's a great effort. Mystery.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
By the way, they said that the handwriting on the
the envelope different than the handwriting in the card.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I don't know if that helps or hurt. So I
throw that out there.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
But sometimes when I'm running out of ink, it does
not look like a human being even wrote it. It
looks like an animal, and it's a chicken that's been scratched,
and that a piece of paper.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
I have a question. I said, it's eighty nine dot three?
Is that a Is that a dot down? Or is
that a dot up?
Speaker 3 (04:13):
It's kind of in the middle, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
So what does that mean anything?
Speaker 4 (04:18):
It's I don't think it's obvious that it's eighty nine
point three.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Okay, so it's just eighty nine something three minus three
eighty six?
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Oh you think that's a dash?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I have no idea.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Oh eighty six. I'm like, a what does I mean?
You'd take it off or something? Take it? Yep, there
we go, But why would you send that to somebody?
It's definitely an eight because I thought when you said
it was definitely maybe it was a six.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
No, it's definitely an eight. Definitely an eight. That's definitely
a nine. It's definitely a three. There's some kind of
dot dash point.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Let me post this and what is the.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
What did she say? Why are you giving her SATA?
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Did Christen solve it?
Speaker 2 (05:04):
No?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
No, Christian wrote down Morse code. You know, Morse code
is just dots, no numbers, no question mark. What is
one dot in Morse code?
Speaker 4 (05:21):
But do the numbers represent letters? What's the eighth letter
of the alphabet.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
R?
Speaker 5 (05:28):
Wait?
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Hold on, wait what the oh? Okay H?
Speaker 3 (05:33):
And I?
Speaker 6 (05:33):
Hi?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
What is high C? High C?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Or the three? You know, some people say one four
three is I love you?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
No? Hi you?
Speaker 7 (05:47):
Three?
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Could I remember hearing like one four three was.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Like christ even Christian who went with morse code is
looking at you?
Speaker 3 (05:55):
One four three was code for like I love you.
In school, I remember hearing that somewhere.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Like we're boys coming up to you and saying one
fourth three I love you.
Speaker 7 (06:06):
No.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
I think maybe somebody could sign something that way one
four three if they if they were too.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Has anybody ever heard that?
Speaker 1 (06:14):
I have not, No, Diane, I'm not I'm not doubting you.
That was a that was an aggressive eye roll. I've
never I just I've never heard that. I've never heard that.
So if I went up to Jen and said one
four three, she would say I love you too.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Never heard that.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Back in the nineties when pagers were widely used, one
four three was a quick way of saying it.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
But where does that come from? Where does one four
what is pagers? No?
Speaker 1 (06:52):
And nine one one meant it was an emergency exactly,
But I don't know what one four three is.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
No, So the middle dot, which you told us originally
was a period or a decimal and now we've determined
this it's some kind of dot. What does the middle
dot mean? Obviously I've seen that before separation, But like
when you use that, because obviously you're able to type
with it as a punctuation mark, what are you telling
(07:20):
the reader.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
End of sentence? Not a middle dot?
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Nod does sometimes use that in like writing out a
date like two dot eighteen dot twenty five.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Oh that's today? Yes, what do you do the slash line.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Or I'll do hyphen or I'll do the month.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
By the way, the dot second, the dot isn't The
dot isn't a all The dot is is a separator.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Well, you've only got so many things to work with,
so you have to look at everything.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Hence the mystery.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Oh J Simpson, how.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
The middle dot in British topography is a very formal
decimal point.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
I didn't know that. Wait say that again.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
So you originally thought it was a decial point, but
then you realized it was higher up. It's just the
middle of the numbers, right, that in at least for
the Brits is a very formal decimal point. Well really,
which may get to the date thing that Diane was
talking about. Could it represent sometimes I feel like you
(08:33):
see this format for what they like a bibliography or
a work cited page. Could this be referring to some
sort of a longer text.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
So somebody that would know what book they had read.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Would Yeah, well you are stuck trying to figure out
what it's from.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Yeah, is the is the admirer getting their desired reaction
to this?
Speaker 1 (08:57):
I mean it's working on me. But no, oh, I
don't know. By the way, I don't know what happened
with the woman.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Oh, you don't know if she has gone on to
solve this, Well, she have updated everybody, everybody.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
I mean you're going with I mean, obviously somebody's sent
a Valentine, so you think it's like a a mystery lover.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Newsweek reached out for common and had not heard back.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
From the woman. Yes, right, okay, what is her name?
Do we know this?
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Did you say it.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Anonymous? Anonymous?
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Of course?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (09:34):
I don't know if it was somehow tied to her name?
U And what is the job they do? Did you
say that?
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Oh? The envelope?
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Okay, Okay, okay, Now she does say it doesn't say
her name, like her name is on the envelope, but
the name is not made clear for privacy. But the
woman shared an image of the envelope which read one
age babe with her name and address omitted for privacy.
(10:04):
What does one Asian babe get you to?
Speaker 7 (10:07):
What?
Speaker 2 (10:07):
No, I'm asking and how does that die?
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Harassment?
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Losses? No, that's that's not a harassment.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Not no, like if you were redhead and I said
one redhead babe, and I'm not harassing you.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
I'm showing it's for you.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Kathy says. Elliot said, No, the eighty nine to three
in Houston is ks BJ. Oh no, it's a religious station.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Unfortunate call letters.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
SBJ Saved by Jesus for real?
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Yes, I'm sorry, Oh my gosh, yes SBJ. One there
put a hand up and said, I don't know if
we can.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
We can probably find a better set of call letters.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
I gotta be reroll honest.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I'm I maybe it's just because I all I know
it as is saved by Jesus.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I'm not following you. Guys.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Shut up, girl, did they inherit those call letters and
have to create something out of.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
It, like a heritage thing. You couldn't change the call letters.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
I don't know. I didn't work there, Okay. I worked
at KKBQ.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
In nineteen eighty two. It began as a Christian rock station.
It's always been KSBJ.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Yeah, say by Jesus.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
So they were a rock station, but they were still Christians.
We're going to cross that line.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
You know there is Christian rock.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Yes, Christian rock wouldn't make a joke like this.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Am I the only one failing to get the joke?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (11:30):
Elliott stop?
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Say the call letters out loud slowly, k yes, yes, yes,
b J say the two close together, shay.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Ks oh oh I never got that. Diane, you're dirty.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
And according to them, God listens. That's a great slogans.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Funny, that is good.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Oh you know what, after all these years, I had
no idea. That never even crossed my mind. Oh, that's funny.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
So Kathy, apparently he was familiar with the station. Just
isn't picking up you think maybe community?
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Okay? Well, Tammy's dirty? Also? Why because I don't think
people see that and think oral sex. Kathy, not Tammy. Whatever.
They probably both do. Hi, Elliott the morning I gotta
get a shirt. Hello, Hello, yeah, Hi, who's this.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (12:43):
This is Nick?
Speaker 6 (12:44):
Yes, yes, sir, so eighty nine, that that middle dot
might be actually a multiplication symbol, so eighty nine times three,
which were.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Equal to sixty seven, and then a numerical.
Speaker 8 (12:59):
I can't remember what it's called, but people who will
I add up certain dates to equal certain numbers. If
you add the two and the seven, that equals at nine,
which then drops you down to sixty nine.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Okay, and then everybody, every everybody, everybody's got their mouth
on drive.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
But my one four three was out of the question.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Okay, okay, all right, very good, very good. The no,
people are thinking, people are thinking line why Hi, Elliott,
the morning.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Hi.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
This's me, Yeah, Hi, who's this Hi? It's Jennifer, Hey, Jennifer.
Speaker 9 (13:38):
Hi. So going back to the deeper days, the pager days,
when you would have to spell out a word, but
you know, each each number could be one of three letters.
Speaker 8 (13:48):
Eight nine is t y, which is.
Speaker 9 (13:51):
Thank you, and then the dot and her name could
be like Donna or Francis or Franny or whatever. So
it could be an affair. She did something for him,
and he's saying thank you, okay.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
But if she was doing this, if she had done
something for him, what did she know who it's from.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
It's not a secret.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Yeah, like at that point it's not a secret, but admirer.
Speaker 9 (14:17):
I don't know he's thanking her for something.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Well the way this audience thinks, probably a mouthful of muff.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
All right, very good, thank you. Line five, Hi Ellie
in the morning.
Speaker 10 (14:33):
Hey is this man?
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Hey?
Speaker 8 (14:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Who's this?
Speaker 10 (14:37):
Brandon? A long time listener, first time called?
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Oh, thank you sir, Oh, first time. You're going to
solve the mystery. Go ahead.
Speaker 10 (14:44):
So I'm not sure about that. I don't know what
the point three means.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
But eighty nine in love language means positive change and
hope and relationship.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
What do you read?
Speaker 10 (14:53):
If you google eighty nine, it should come up.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Yeah, wait, so on love language eighty nine is like
positive change?
Speaker 5 (15:01):
Yes, yes, look up eighty nine love language or whatever,
and it should come right on up.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Are you into all that stuff?
Speaker 1 (15:14):
No?
Speaker 9 (15:14):
I am not.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
How do you know that?
Speaker 10 (15:18):
It's for random facts?
Speaker 5 (15:19):
Man?
Speaker 10 (15:19):
My brain's full of them.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
When you heard the call letters of that station, what's
the first thing you thought?
Speaker 10 (15:29):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
I had to sit there and think about it, and then
it popped in my head of wait, eighty nine, that's
a positive change in open relation.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
There you go, all right, very good either I didn't
know what the eighty nine meant. Thank you? What about
here's going to be the problem? I don't. We're never
going to know what the answer is.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Yeah, but somebody may come up with an idea where
we say that's got to be it, And so far
we have not.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
We haven't even sniffed that.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Now.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
I like some of the ideas, but we haven't gotten
to a point where I'm willing to say the love language.
That's definitelyot. You mentioned there's a reference to her being
Asian on the envelope one Asian babe. Earlier today you
talked about numerology and good fortune when it comes to
(16:15):
numbers in Asian cultures. Yeah, could there be anything there?
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Why would I know that?
Speaker 4 (16:24):
I'm saying maybe now, somebody who's more familiar with what
each number represents could help us down that path.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
I wouldn't even know who to call.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
Not you call someone someone call us.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Who knows Asian numerology, good luck can be surprised.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
I told you my brother who is married to a
Chinese lady.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
They didn't want their baby.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Born on a certain day because of bad luck. So
this doesn't take someone who's been studying it for years.
This is something that.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
They're ancient chiny secret.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
No, would that have been in the Tom Hanks in Memoria,
probably for characters and questionable ethnic whigs that are gone
too soon.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Line eight is an Asian. Oh god, what do you
want me to say?
Speaker 1 (17:19):
I don't know if it's chined Hi Elliott in the morning,
I got nothing.
Speaker 10 (17:22):
Good morning, good morning.
Speaker 8 (17:23):
Have you tried adding eighty nine days to.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
February fourteenth, which I believe is May sixteenth, which is
day of peace.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
I'll tell you what, man, between we have the we
have the most educated.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Buried audience.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Everybody, everybody got a snicker out of save by Jesus,
and then people know love languages.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
In eighty nine? What is May? May sixteenth is World
peace Day?
Speaker 10 (17:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Why would you?
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Why would you? Why would you write that? As a
secret admirer?
Speaker 2 (17:57):
I don't know. I just work here, man, see you
all right?
Speaker 4 (18:02):
The number six and eight are widely considered to be
lucky in Chinese numerology.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Okay, but we don't have number six. We have an
eight yeah, So what is nine upside down? Six? What
is nine? What is love?
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Come on, Diane, come on, Howard Jones, Baby, don't hurt me?
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Oh Jesus, oh god?
Speaker 4 (18:28):
How'd you get in the radio?
Speaker 2 (18:29):
That's on? Thistery Hi, Elliot in the morning.
Speaker 7 (18:33):
Hi, it's Carol from Severna Park.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
How are you guys?
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Carol?
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I am doing fantastic. What can I do for you?
Gonna know?
Speaker 5 (18:39):
Ye?
Speaker 10 (18:42):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (18:43):
Fred Rogers, Mister Rogers used to use the number one,
four or three often because he said it took one
letter to say I, four letters to say love, and
three letters to say you. In other words, one forty
three equals I love you.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
So it does predate the pager.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
You know what, that's pretty good. That's good is that? Fred?
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Now did Fred Rogers ever say eight nine to three?
I'm not so sure about that, but use the same theory, right,
It takes three letters to say you, that's the three?
What is what takes eight? Let what's an eight letter word?
And then a nine letter word?
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (19:30):
This is like really hard word. And Diane struggled with
five letters? What is what is an eight and nine
letter word? Well, there's almost a phrase.
Speaker 7 (19:40):
And then you well, my mouth is hanging open, like
Diane right now, all.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Right, very good, very good, thank you?
Speaker 2 (19:55):
And should we remember why the question mark? Though?
Speaker 4 (19:59):
Also but there's text in the car that was printed
on it by Hall with love. Is that part of
the message. We've totally forgotten about it and pushed it aside.
But could that be the start of the note with love?
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Question eight nine three? Like it's one sentence, Yes, doesn't
make any sense. Well, you don't know what it is
until you get the eight nine three.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
I understand. Well, we don't know what any of it is.
What are you counting on your fingers? That's Everston knows
what it is. The she definitely doesn't know what it is.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Intercourse is eleven letters, Hi Elliott, the.
Speaker 8 (20:42):
Morning, Elliott. It's Tim from Charlotte Man.
Speaker 10 (20:45):
I got it, dude eighty nine.
Speaker 8 (20:48):
Three three syllables in eighty nine talk to w.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Oh boy jus
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Wow, he got it.
Someone I don't know sent me a Valentine's Day card.
They got it two days before Valentine's Day. It was
mailed to my work address and arrived two days before
Valentine's Day. Oh, that isn't near. I doubt that it's
one of my coworkers, but I am unable to verify that. Also,
(00:20):
I have no idea what the letter means. Can someone help?
I have the contents of the letter of the Valentine
be a clue?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Right?
Speaker 1 (00:31):
You want me to just explain it, or you want
to write it down so you have it in front
of you.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
It's very easy. It's very easy.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Wait, is that like a puzzle?
Speaker 4 (00:38):
The well, it's a mystery. Actually two words? This is
a traditional greeting card? Or is this like a Valentine
which is more sometimes like a postcard?
Speaker 1 (00:50):
I can tell you no, No, it's a card. It
is a card on the out like the what do
you call that? The face of the card is just
a bunch of hearts and like for Valentine's Day, no text.
You open it. No, you open the card and there
is two words.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
With love. Right under that is a little heart that's
colored in under that is a question mark. Under that.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Eight nine dot three, And this is all handwritten eight
nine dot three.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
That wasn't for you, guys, I was for Kristen.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Was that a blank card? And all of that is written?
Or was with love printed on the card?
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Already?
Speaker 1 (01:46):
I feel like with love was printed on the card
by looking at it.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
What about the heart underneath that?
Speaker 1 (01:52):
I think the heart is colored in may maybe it
was part of the card or not.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
But the question mark and.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
The question mark in the number are one handwritten. Okay,
question mark eight nine dot three.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Hm, And that's it. Diane seems to have solved this
very quickly.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Here we go from somebody that works at that radio station.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
The okay, Diane who works at eighty nine point three
Marbarea Dill We No.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
I can understand why you would go with a frequency
theory there.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Oh, I can understand that.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
But wouldn't the person just go, oh, I know someone
who works at eighty nine point three.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Oh man, it's definitely a decimal. They said, it's a dot,
and it's not the dot of the question mark. It's
a separate correct Yeah. Look, so I'll show you right here. See. Oh, okay,
I thought you were reading a description. You have the
(02:58):
actual picture.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Yeah, I'm reading it.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Yeah, let me see, I can put that on. Let
me see so I can.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Oh, you want to put it up. By the way,
it's going to look exactly as I explained.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Oh, but I mean everybody has their own interpretation of
what you said.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
I didn't mention that the hearts on the front flap
were embossed.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
The I told you there's hearts all on the front.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
But you didn't say that there was texture there put up.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Yeah, it's loading. Oh there you go.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
See.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
I think the heart is colored in.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
I think that's on there. Yeah, it's a pretty good job.
But what's going on was the pen running out of ink.
They've retraced everything multiple times.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
I've done that in the past.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Or a secret admirer. They're not putting in much effort, Diana.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Actually it's a great effort. Mystery.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
By the way, they said that the handwriting on the
the envelope different than the handwriting in the card.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I don't know if that helps or hurt. So I
throw that out there.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
But sometimes when I'm running out of ink, it does
not look like a human being even wrote it. It
looks like an animal, and it's a chicken that's been scratched,
and that a piece of paper.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
I have a question. I said, it's eighty nine dot three?
Is that a Is that a dot down? Or is
that a dot up?
Speaker 3 (04:13):
It's kind of in the middle, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
So what does that mean anything?
Speaker 4 (04:18):
It's I don't think it's obvious that it's eighty nine
point three.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Okay, so it's just eighty nine something three minus three
eighty six?
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Oh you think that's a dash?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I have no idea.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Oh eighty six. I'm like, a what does I mean?
You'd take it off or something? Take it? Yep, there
we go, But why would you send that to somebody?
It's definitely an eight because I thought when you said
it was definitely maybe it was a six.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
No, it's definitely an eight. Definitely an eight. That's definitely
a nine. It's definitely a three. There's some kind of
dot dash point.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Let me post this and what is the.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
What did she say? Why are you giving her SATA?
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Did Christen solve it?
Speaker 2 (05:04):
No?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
No, Christian wrote down Morse code. You know, Morse code
is just dots, no numbers, no question mark. What is
one dot in Morse code?
Speaker 4 (05:21):
But do the numbers represent letters? What's the eighth letter
of the alphabet.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
R?
Speaker 5 (05:28):
Wait?
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Hold on, wait what the oh? Okay H?
Speaker 3 (05:33):
And I?
Speaker 6 (05:33):
Hi?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
What is high C? High C?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Or the three? You know, some people say one four
three is I love you?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
No? Hi you?
Speaker 7 (05:47):
Three?
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Could I remember hearing like one four three was.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Like christ even Christian who went with morse code is
looking at you?
Speaker 3 (05:55):
One four three was code for like I love you.
In school, I remember hearing that somewhere.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Like we're boys coming up to you and saying one
fourth three I love you.
Speaker 7 (06:06):
No.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
I think maybe somebody could sign something that way one
four three if they if they were too.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Has anybody ever heard that?
Speaker 1 (06:14):
I have not, No, Diane, I'm not I'm not doubting you.
That was a that was an aggressive eye roll. I've
never I just I've never heard that. I've never heard that.
So if I went up to Jen and said one
four three, she would say I love you too.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Never heard that.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Back in the nineties when pagers were widely used, one
four three was a quick way of saying it.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
But where does that come from? Where does one four
what is pagers? No?
Speaker 1 (06:52):
And nine one one meant it was an emergency exactly,
But I don't know what one four three is.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
No, So the middle dot, which you told us originally
was a period or a decimal and now we've determined
this it's some kind of dot. What does the middle
dot mean? Obviously I've seen that before separation, But like
when you use that, because obviously you're able to type
with it as a punctuation mark, what are you telling
(07:20):
the reader.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
End of sentence? Not a middle dot?
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Nod does sometimes use that in like writing out a
date like two dot eighteen dot twenty five.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Oh that's today? Yes, what do you do the slash line.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Or I'll do hyphen or I'll do the month.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
By the way, the dot second, the dot isn't The
dot isn't a all The dot is is a separator.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Well, you've only got so many things to work with,
so you have to look at everything.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Hence the mystery.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Oh J Simpson, how.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
The middle dot in British topography is a very formal
decimal point.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
I didn't know that. Wait say that again.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
So you originally thought it was a decial point, but
then you realized it was higher up. It's just the
middle of the numbers, right, that in at least for
the Brits is a very formal decimal point. Well really,
which may get to the date thing that Diane was
talking about. Could it represent sometimes I feel like you
(08:33):
see this format for what they like a bibliography or
a work cited page. Could this be referring to some
sort of a longer text.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
So somebody that would know what book they had read.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Would Yeah, well you are stuck trying to figure out
what it's from.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Yeah, is the is the admirer getting their desired reaction
to this?
Speaker 1 (08:57):
I mean it's working on me. But no, oh, I
don't know. By the way, I don't know what happened
with the woman.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Oh, you don't know if she has gone on to
solve this, Well, she have updated everybody, everybody.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
I mean you're going with I mean, obviously somebody's sent
a Valentine, so you think it's like a a mystery lover.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Newsweek reached out for common and had not heard back.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
From the woman. Yes, right, okay, what is her name?
Do we know this?
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Did you say it.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Anonymous? Anonymous?
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Of course?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (09:34):
I don't know if it was somehow tied to her name?
U And what is the job they do? Did you
say that?
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Oh? The envelope?
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Okay, Okay, okay, Now she does say it doesn't say
her name, like her name is on the envelope, but
the name is not made clear for privacy. But the
woman shared an image of the envelope which read one
age babe with her name and address omitted for privacy.
(10:04):
What does one Asian babe get you to?
Speaker 7 (10:07):
What?
Speaker 2 (10:07):
No, I'm asking and how does that die?
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Harassment?
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Losses? No, that's that's not a harassment.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Not no, like if you were redhead and I said
one redhead babe, and I'm not harassing you.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
I'm showing it's for you.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Kathy says. Elliot said, No, the eighty nine to three
in Houston is ks BJ. Oh no, it's a religious station.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Unfortunate call letters.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
SBJ Saved by Jesus for real?
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Yes, I'm sorry, Oh my gosh, yes SBJ. One there
put a hand up and said, I don't know if
we can.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
We can probably find a better set of call letters.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
I gotta be reroll honest.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I'm I maybe it's just because I all I know
it as is saved by Jesus.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I'm not following you. Guys.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Shut up, girl, did they inherit those call letters and
have to create something out of.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
It, like a heritage thing. You couldn't change the call letters.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
I don't know. I didn't work there, Okay. I worked
at KKBQ.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
In nineteen eighty two. It began as a Christian rock station.
It's always been KSBJ.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Yeah, say by Jesus.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
So they were a rock station, but they were still Christians.
We're going to cross that line.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
You know there is Christian rock.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Yes, Christian rock wouldn't make a joke like this.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Am I the only one failing to get the joke?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (11:30):
Elliott stop?
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Say the call letters out loud slowly, k yes, yes, yes,
b J say the two close together, shay.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Ks oh oh I never got that. Diane, you're dirty.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
And according to them, God listens. That's a great slogans.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Funny, that is good.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Oh you know what, after all these years, I had
no idea. That never even crossed my mind. Oh, that's funny.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
So Kathy, apparently he was familiar with the station. Just
isn't picking up you think maybe community?
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Okay? Well, Tammy's dirty? Also? Why because I don't think
people see that and think oral sex. Kathy, not Tammy. Whatever.
They probably both do. Hi, Elliott the morning I gotta
get a shirt. Hello, Hello, yeah, Hi, who's this.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (12:43):
This is Nick?
Speaker 6 (12:44):
Yes, yes, sir, so eighty nine, that that middle dot
might be actually a multiplication symbol, so eighty nine times three,
which were.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Equal to sixty seven, and then a numerical.
Speaker 8 (12:59):
I can't remember what it's called, but people who will
I add up certain dates to equal certain numbers. If
you add the two and the seven, that equals at nine,
which then drops you down to sixty nine.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Okay, and then everybody, every everybody, everybody's got their mouth
on drive.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
But my one four three was out of the question.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Okay, okay, all right, very good, very good. The no,
people are thinking, people are thinking line why Hi, Elliott,
the morning.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Hi.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
This's me, Yeah, Hi, who's this Hi? It's Jennifer, Hey, Jennifer.
Speaker 9 (13:38):
Hi. So going back to the deeper days, the pager days,
when you would have to spell out a word, but
you know, each each number could be one of three letters.
Speaker 8 (13:48):
Eight nine is t y, which is.
Speaker 9 (13:51):
Thank you, and then the dot and her name could
be like Donna or Francis or Franny or whatever. So
it could be an affair. She did something for him,
and he's saying thank you, okay.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
But if she was doing this, if she had done
something for him, what did she know who it's from.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
It's not a secret.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Yeah, like at that point it's not a secret, but admirer.
Speaker 9 (14:17):
I don't know he's thanking her for something.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Well the way this audience thinks, probably a mouthful of muff.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
All right, very good, thank you. Line five, Hi Ellie
in the morning.
Speaker 10 (14:33):
Hey is this man?
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Hey?
Speaker 8 (14:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Who's this?
Speaker 10 (14:37):
Brandon? A long time listener, first time called?
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Oh, thank you sir, Oh, first time. You're going to
solve the mystery. Go ahead.
Speaker 10 (14:44):
So I'm not sure about that. I don't know what
the point three means.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
But eighty nine in love language means positive change and
hope and relationship.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
What do you read?
Speaker 10 (14:53):
If you google eighty nine, it should come up.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Yeah, wait, so on love language eighty nine is like
positive change?
Speaker 5 (15:01):
Yes, yes, look up eighty nine love language or whatever,
and it should come right on up.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Are you into all that stuff?
Speaker 1 (15:14):
No?
Speaker 9 (15:14):
I am not.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
How do you know that?
Speaker 10 (15:18):
It's for random facts?
Speaker 5 (15:19):
Man?
Speaker 10 (15:19):
My brain's full of them.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
When you heard the call letters of that station, what's
the first thing you thought?
Speaker 10 (15:29):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
I had to sit there and think about it, and then
it popped in my head of wait, eighty nine, that's
a positive change in open relation.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
There you go, all right, very good either I didn't
know what the eighty nine meant. Thank you? What about
here's going to be the problem? I don't. We're never
going to know what the answer is.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Yeah, but somebody may come up with an idea where
we say that's got to be it, And so far
we have not.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
We haven't even sniffed that.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Now.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
I like some of the ideas, but we haven't gotten
to a point where I'm willing to say the love language.
That's definitelyot. You mentioned there's a reference to her being
Asian on the envelope one Asian babe. Earlier today you
talked about numerology and good fortune when it comes to
(16:15):
numbers in Asian cultures. Yeah, could there be anything there?
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Why would I know that?
Speaker 4 (16:24):
I'm saying maybe now, somebody who's more familiar with what
each number represents could help us down that path.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
I wouldn't even know who to call.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
Not you call someone someone call us.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Who knows Asian numerology, good luck can be surprised.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
I told you my brother who is married to a
Chinese lady.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
They didn't want their baby.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Born on a certain day because of bad luck. So
this doesn't take someone who's been studying it for years.
This is something that.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
They're ancient chiny secret.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
No, would that have been in the Tom Hanks in Memoria,
probably for characters and questionable ethnic whigs that are gone
too soon.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Line eight is an Asian. Oh god, what do you
want me to say?
Speaker 1 (17:19):
I don't know if it's chined Hi Elliott in the morning,
I got nothing.
Speaker 10 (17:22):
Good morning, good morning.
Speaker 8 (17:23):
Have you tried adding eighty nine days to.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
February fourteenth, which I believe is May sixteenth, which is
day of peace.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
I'll tell you what, man, between we have the we
have the most educated.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Buried audience.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Everybody, everybody got a snicker out of save by Jesus,
and then people know love languages.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
In eighty nine? What is May? May sixteenth is World
peace Day?
Speaker 10 (17:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Why would you?
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Why would you? Why would you write that? As a
secret admirer?
Speaker 2 (17:57):
I don't know. I just work here, man, see you
all right?
Speaker 4 (18:02):
The number six and eight are widely considered to be
lucky in Chinese numerology.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Okay, but we don't have number six. We have an
eight yeah, So what is nine upside down? Six? What
is nine? What is love?
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Come on, Diane, come on, Howard Jones, Baby, don't hurt me?
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Oh Jesus, oh god?
Speaker 4 (18:28):
How'd you get in the radio?
Speaker 2 (18:29):
That's on? Thistery Hi, Elliot in the morning.
Speaker 7 (18:33):
Hi, it's Carol from Severna Park.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
How are you guys?
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Carol?
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I am doing fantastic. What can I do for you?
Gonna know?
Speaker 5 (18:39):
Ye?
Speaker 10 (18:42):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (18:43):
Fred Rogers, Mister Rogers used to use the number one,
four or three often because he said it took one
letter to say I, four letters to say love, and
three letters to say you. In other words, one forty
three equals I love you.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
So it does predate the pager.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
You know what, that's pretty good. That's good is that? Fred?
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Now did Fred Rogers ever say eight nine to three?
I'm not so sure about that, but use the same theory, right,
It takes three letters to say you, that's the three?
What is what takes eight? Let what's an eight letter word?
And then a nine letter word?
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (19:30):
This is like really hard word. And Diane struggled with
five letters? What is what is an eight and nine
letter word? Well, there's almost a phrase.
Speaker 7 (19:40):
And then you well, my mouth is hanging open, like
Diane right now, all.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Right, very good, very good, thank you?
Speaker 2 (19:55):
And should we remember why the question mark? Though?
Speaker 4 (19:59):
Also but there's text in the car that was printed
on it by Hall with love. Is that part of
the message. We've totally forgotten about it and pushed it aside.
But could that be the start of the note with love?
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Question eight nine three? Like it's one sentence, Yes, doesn't
make any sense. Well, you don't know what it is
until you get the eight nine three.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
I understand. Well, we don't know what any of it is.
What are you counting on your fingers? That's Everston knows
what it is. The she definitely doesn't know what it is.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Intercourse is eleven letters, Hi Elliott, the.
Speaker 8 (20:42):
Morning, Elliott. It's Tim from Charlotte Man.
Speaker 10 (20:45):
I got it, dude eighty nine.
Speaker 8 (20:48):
Three three syllables in eighty nine talk to w.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
