Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's Mojo in the morning. Second date update, wore the roses,
Shannon's dirty, this is your home of all of those,
Shannon's ex reached out to her in what Shannon did next?
Was it the right thing or the wrong thing? We're
going to ask that question, Shannon, what's going on? I
can already tell you what was the wrong So this is.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
The the the ex that is I don't know if
he still is. I think was a musician. So the
guy that I was engaged to, which is so weird.
We were just talking about him because my stepson, remember
I told you the story, is like, oh I'm a
I'm a fan of this band. I'm like, oh, right,
Like I had to tell on the whole story. So

(00:46):
I get a text message, and first off, this relationship
ended in two thousand and eight, two thousand and nine,
I think was really like the last time I actually
spoke to him. So I thought I had his number blocked,
And actually his number might be blocked. His number that
he had this might be a new number. I don't
know the case, or maybe I just deleted the number. Regardless,

(01:10):
I get a text message that says, HI, is this
still Shannon?

Speaker 1 (01:16):
So I write I think that's a spam one I
got and I.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Am then I am my sixty something year old mother
because I write back and say Hi, who's this? And
then he writes his name with a little smiley face.
So I write back Hi, question mark, and he writes
just saying hello, hope you're having a great day. That

(01:44):
is probably where Zach is shaking his head. That is
where I should have just not said anything more stupid
me right, thanks so much. I always hope you are
doing well, and he writes, yay, doing great to your fam.
So I am like, this is so weird. Why is

(02:04):
he reaching out for this random reason. I've not talked
to him in years and years and years and years.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Maybe when did he say it was home? Did right away? Like,
I am, is this Shannon? I so heard smiley face
or the hard eyes and the smiling.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
No, it is literally just the I'm showing everybody, just
the standard smiley face. I show this text to West.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
You deleted it. You just said you deleted his number.
That goes away when you delete his number.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
No, no, no, I'm saying a long time ago, when we
broke up, I either blocked him and this is a
different number. Or deleted him. I don't remember what was
the case, but I thought you deleted him this time though, too. Well, Block,
You're you're getting ahead of the story because you already
know how this ends. So I show this to Wes
and say, you are never going to guess who reached
out to me? And Wes looks at it and he said,

(02:51):
why did you respond? After he said who he was? Yeah,
I mean that's a great question, and I'm like, f
you are right. This is totally my nature to just
be like, oh, hope, you're great, hope everything's good with you.
And Wes was like, you do not need you do

(03:11):
not owe him that, You do not need to say that.
You should have just not responded at all. So I did,
so he is blocked.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
Now.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
I screenshoted this obviously because I had showed it to
Wes and stuff and eventually wanted to make it a
topic because that's our life. But I looking back, thought
that I was being quote unquote nice and really didn't
even need to respond to it.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
Let me add my wisdom to this, Oh I can't.
I'm now listen. I gotta tell you now, I'm going
to tell you this. You always get called the smartest
person on the show. I think I was dumb. No,
I think there's nothing wrong with you responding back to it.
This guy was part of your history and you saying, hey,
hope you're doing great, you know, move on. It's not

(03:58):
like you're responding and sending I'm like, you know, uh,
you know a nude or something like that. You're you're
You're just sending it back. And honestly, I think that
you just being honest and telling Wes right away, which
I did, is the is the right thing to do.
So I do find it very interesting. And you got
to tell me the timeframe of this one. Do you
think he heard us talk on the air about how

(04:21):
Wes's son was a listener or what was the what's
the timeline of when he reached out to you to
when we is Wes's son and you brought this happen?

Speaker 2 (04:30):
This actually happened before that. This happened a while ago.
But I needed to we needed to work through it
before I brought it up on the air, being truth
being very truthful about it. So this happened before the
hey I'm a fan of this band conversation called me crazy.

Speaker 4 (04:49):
First off, I do think you entertained the foolishness, So
I'm kind of on west side, but I could understand
where you were coming from as well. Call me crazy, though,
I feel like anybody that's from the past that's just
trying to reach out, not doing it off the goodness
of a heart and just trying.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
To say that's what we said, that's what West said.
And he was like the He's like, I know that
you weren't trying to like do anything shady, which obviously
is why I showed him the whole conversation. But he's
like him reaching out is not for no reason eactly.
And he's like, and you even responding is like that.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
Foot that keeps the door open just a little.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
Bit, because he's like, even the nice and he's right,
And I didn't see it that way in the moment,
and now looking back, I do, and I'm mad at myself,
and it is a lesson learned.

Speaker 4 (05:36):
But that dress you had on at the auto show
popped up on his for you page. He couldn't resist.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
You think it was the auto show dress is the
reason why Shannon was looking code that night. But okay, well,
the timing probably if Shannon said that this has been
a while that he reached out to you. That foreshadowing
never mind, what's up? Mark wants to make a comment.
What's going on? Mark?

Speaker 5 (06:02):
Hey?

Speaker 1 (06:03):
How are you good? Buddy? What's up?

Speaker 4 (06:06):
Shannon?

Speaker 5 (06:07):
You are okay? How?

Speaker 1 (06:09):
Well?

Speaker 6 (06:10):
Relax? First of all, I don't think. I don't know
how your relationship with this guy back then, like and
and I don't know the whole circumstance, but I think
it was a casual Hey, how are you hope all
as well? I mean, I do not think you ignoring
him would have been like, I mean, we're grown like
this has come on like there's you did nothing wrong?

Speaker 4 (06:34):
So but what's the purpose of even entertaining though, Like,
what's the purpose of this three second conversation?

Speaker 6 (06:41):
Well, again, I don't know the detail and how long,
but the fact that he said, you know, love to
the fam tells me he had a pretty close relationship
with family, so they could have had a couple of
year history. And you know that's like that's like saying
burn all your excess pictures.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
You just don't. I don't know. I disagree with I
agree with you. I think that that's apples and oranges.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
I think that you don't need like I don't delete photos.
I think that that is all that's part, you know,
part of your story. But this is I don't need
this back in my present.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
See, I don't like.

Speaker 6 (07:14):
That he said have a or what did you say,
have a great day?

Speaker 1 (07:19):
Or hope like enjoy your I don't know.

Speaker 6 (07:21):
I thought that was a little he could have said
like hope all as well. You know, yeah, he could
have kept a little more casual. But I definitely don't think.
My wife talks to her exes and I still talk
to mind.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
We all get together.

Speaker 5 (07:34):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
We're just not we're very I don't know. I don't
like I don't like emojis. I don't like any of
the emojis in that. Even if it's a smiley of
face emoji, that's too that's too friendly. But I do
say this, I agree with you in the fact that
we're all grown adults. If a guy sends you a text,
you're not It's not like you're opening up Pandora's box
by just saying, hey, all's good, great, thank you, boom,

(07:57):
move on, and you don't have to You don't have
to do long text with him. If it's a quick
little text, if it's a long text and you're telling
them your life story and explaining to him how you
know everybody in the family is doing. Then you're engaged
more than just a quick text to you know, make
sure all as well.

Speaker 4 (08:14):
So when you say we're all adults, are you saying
that I'm not acting mature. If I see the message
and choose not to respond, that's not mature it that's
not being an adult.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
That if I think that if I were to if
a client, this is totally non dating. If a client
from years ago that hasn't talked to Shannon in forever
said hey, Shannon, just checking in, how's it going, and
she founded the need to answer him back, there's no difference.
She had less of a relationship with that client than
she did with a man that she was going to marry.
I don't think that it makes its two totally different situations.

(08:44):
And I'm a jealous guy. If Chelsea's axes started texting
her and she was having long conversations, I'd be horribly jealous.
But if she said, hey, so and so reached out
to me today, I answered them back, and she showed
me the text exchange, and it was what your text
exchanged was I move on, I go okay, no problem,
h Carlos, what's up is Mojo in the morning? What
do you think about this? Carlos?

Speaker 5 (09:06):
You Mojoe?

Speaker 1 (09:07):
But I'm with Wes.

Speaker 4 (09:09):
I am with Wes.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
There's zero reason for communication. And the high was one thing.
But then the second reply was I always hope you're
doing well. That implies that she thinks of him, and
we thought it may not be the case, but just
the wording of it, there's zero say that. Okay, you're

(09:32):
cutting out? Are you pushing buttons or hitting your your
cheeks hitting the phone? Carlos. Carlos is a He is
a He's a Latin man with with lots of jealousy.

(09:53):
All right, go to Mike next, Mike, what's going on?
A lot of guys texting in with this. I want
to hear what the ladies have to say too. What's up, Mike?
Are you real?

Speaker 5 (10:01):
Good?

Speaker 1 (10:02):
Modo?

Speaker 5 (10:02):
I was going to comment on this. So my wife
is a lot like Shannon.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
She's just a super bubbly, happy, go lucky person and
she gets messages just like Shannon's describing all the time.
Some guys she hasn't talked to her exes from her
past whatever, And I have to agree with We's on
because of the examples that I'm about to give is
with the emojis.

Speaker 5 (10:28):
In my opinion, the emojis are a gateway to getting
a D pick in the future unsolicited.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
Not anything you're encouraging, but it happens.

Speaker 5 (10:36):
I swear to God, I swear to God. My wife
will respond just like you did, Shannon. She'll be like, oh,
nice to talk to you, Hope you're doing well too.
And then that guy gets drunk one night, starts crying
and getting in his feelings, and then you end up
getting slammed with the d pick and then you have
to explain that to West.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
Let the record you know that, by the way, is
the greatest. The is the gayway to a deep egg.
Starts with a smile, leads to a sack. You never know, Liz,
what's going on? Liz?

Speaker 6 (11:08):
Hi?

Speaker 1 (11:11):
Hello?

Speaker 5 (11:11):
Liz?

Speaker 7 (11:13):
Oh sorry, Hi?

Speaker 1 (11:14):
Hey, what's going on?

Speaker 7 (11:22):
So when I got married? Good, how are you guys doing?

Speaker 1 (11:25):
Fantastic? Go ahead? Tell us what your story is. Go ahead.

Speaker 7 (11:28):
So three years ago when I got married, all within
a year I got a flood of text from x's
from past admirers, did not entertain them whatsoever. My husband
told me at some point he just didn't even want
to know about it. So my fance on it is,

(11:49):
I just feel like an X and X for a reason.
Unless we stayed in contact that entire time, I don't
see a reason to engage whatsoever.

Speaker 8 (11:58):
I don't trust the intention of you reaching out after
all of these years when we haven't stayed in touch.
And to be honest, I'm perfectly happy right now. You know,
I would not want to engage or do anything that
I personally wouldn't feel comfortable with my husband doing.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
Oh yeah, So do you think that this guy should
just be blocked and be blessed and moved on?

Speaker 7 (12:22):
I mean, I don't know if you necessarily need to
block him, but I wouldn't have responded. Clearly, he is
definitely thinking about you, Shannon.

Speaker 8 (12:30):
I think it's probably a little bit more situational.

Speaker 7 (12:32):
I think the algorithm probably brought him over back to
you somehow, So I think.

Speaker 8 (12:36):
He needs to be blocked.

Speaker 7 (12:37):
He doesn't seem like he needs to be, but if
he reaches out again, I would block and move on.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
Yeah. And by the way, algorithm is that also code
for depicts about to come to Anna. You there, Anna,
hi Anna? Hi? Anna doesn't agree with you, Shannon, what
do you want to say? I don't agree at all.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
I'm sorry, Shannon.

Speaker 7 (13:05):
Once you found out who it was, I feel like
you should have just been like, okay, I don't need
to talk to you.

Speaker 8 (13:13):
I'm blocking.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
Yeah, you're right, looking back, you are right. I was wrong.
I just think we're all grown people. Why do we
have to be that way?

Speaker 4 (13:22):
Why does grown doesn't have to look and go ahead?

Speaker 1 (13:25):
I'm sorry, I don't want to interrupt.

Speaker 7 (13:26):
Oh that's say. The thing is, why is he reaching out?
And even if it's like something small, he's gonna say like, oh,
you know, I just thought of you. But for what
reason are you thinking that we're going to have more conversations,
more texts after this?

Speaker 6 (13:40):
Like?

Speaker 8 (13:40):
What's the purpose?

Speaker 1 (13:42):
I just feel like he was part of her history.
And if Shannon's gone through countless you know days since
their relationship, there's no feelings for him. And I know
that this has been a person that Shannon, I know,
has probably gotten over. I've definitely gotten over through therapy.
Why not be able to go, hey, you know what, man?
I hope you're doing Okay, I'm doing great. I found

(14:05):
a great man. I've got two wonderful children, and you
know what, my life couldn't be better. Are you working
with this man?

Speaker 6 (14:11):
No?

Speaker 1 (14:12):
Look, all history doesn't inside.

Speaker 4 (14:15):
All history doesn't have to be revisited, and being an
adult quote unquote doesn't look a certain way or in
one direction. You can be an adult and be elevated
if you want to and reach out and have no feelings,
or you can be an adult and say.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
This is my past and that's why I'm gonna be
leave it. But I also think too that I think
that it shows Wes that Shannon can have a past
without the past coming back and being part of her
present by just going, you know what, that's my Hey,
good luck to you. We're all you know. Shannon is
a Christian, right you know? If you saw him sitting

(14:49):
on the side of the road, what do you do?
You run over?

Speaker 4 (14:53):
It? Not the same situation. Don't try to move a
gold post. I'm not moving goalposts. If you saw him
on the side on the road, Gothold, stop playing.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
You know what, mister, I am now a single man
after this thing. I can't wait for all the booty
x sex that you end up having Uh, listen, I
told you since July. Okay, oh my god, you're gonna
you you call you sit there and you preach a
good game. Wait until the Monday morning when he comes
in and goes, You're never gonna believe what the hell

(15:22):
happened to me this weekend, And I'm gonna go. Oh,
let's go back to January twenty seventh, twenty twenty five,
Monday morning, eight thirty one, the year of the Lord.
I wanna say they were on the side of the road,
