Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's Mojo in the morning.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Second date update were the roses Shannon's dirty this is
your Home? Of all of those, Shannon's ex reached out
to her and what Shannon did next? Was it the
right thing or the wrong thing? We're gonna ask that question, Shannon,
what's going on?

Speaker 3 (00:19):
I can already tell you it was the wrong.

Speaker 4 (00:24):
So this is 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 them 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.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
HI, is this still Shannon?

Speaker 2 (01:16):
So I write I think that's a spam one I got,
and I.

Speaker 4 (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

(01:45):
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, Love to
your fam. So I am like, this is so weird.
Why is he reaching out for this random reason? I

(02:06):
have not talked to him in years and years and
years and years.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Maybe when did he say it was home right.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
Away like a physic Shannon, I.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
So heard smiley face or the hard eyes and the smiling.

Speaker 4 (02:19):
No, it is literally just the I'm showing everybody, just
the standard smiley face.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
I show this text to Wes.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
I got you deleted it. You just said you deleted
his number. That goes away when you delete his number.

Speaker 4 (02:30):
No, 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.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
I don't remember what was the case.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
But I thought you deleted him this time though, too.

Speaker 4 (02:40):
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, why did you respond?

Speaker 3 (02:54):
After he said who he was? Yeah, I mean that's
a great question, and I'm like, f you are right.

Speaker 4 (03:03):
This is totally my nature to just be like, hope,
you're great, hope everything's good with you. And Wes was like,
you do not need you do 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 1 (03:19):
Now.

Speaker 4 (03:19):
I screenshot at 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 2 (03:38):
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.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
I think I was dumb.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
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 like you're responding and sending them like you know, uh,
you know, a nude or something like that. You're you're
just sending it back. And honestly, I think that you

(04:08):
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 Wes's son
was a listener or what was the what's the timeline
of when he reached out to you to when Wes
is Wes's son and you broke this happened.

Speaker 4 (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
the Hey I'm a fan of this dand conversation called
me crazy.

Speaker 5 (04:50):
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 just
trying to reach out, not doing it off the goodness
of a heart and just trying to.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
Say that's what we said, that's what West said.

Speaker 4 (05:05):
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, and
he's like, and you even responding is like that foot
that keeps the door open just a little bit, because

(05:27):
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 5 (05:36):
But that dress you had on at the auto show
popped up on his for you page.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
He couldn't resist.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
Uh 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? He wants to make a comment.
What's going on?

Speaker 1 (06:01):
Mark? Hey, how are you good? Buddy? What's up?

Speaker 6 (06:07):
Shannon? You are okay?

Speaker 1 (06:09):
How well? Relax?

Speaker 7 (06:11):
First of all, I don't think. I don't know how
your relationship.

Speaker 8 (06:14):
With this guy back then, like, and I don't know the.

Speaker 7 (06:16):
Whole circumstance, but I think it was a casual Hey,
how are you hope all as well?

Speaker 1 (06:23):
I mean, I do not think.

Speaker 7 (06:25):
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 5 (06:34):
So but what's the purpose of even entertaining them, Like,
what's the purpose of this three second conversation?

Speaker 7 (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.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
Of year history.

Speaker 7 (06:52):
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.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
I think that that's apples and oranges.

Speaker 4 (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 7 (07:14):
See, I don't like 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 7 (07:21):
I thought that was little. He could have said like
hopeball as well. You know, yeah, he could have kept
it a little more casual. But I definitely don't think.
My wife talks to her exes.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
And I still talk to mine. We all get together.

Speaker 7 (07:34):
I don't know, we're just not we're very I don't know.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
I don't like I don't like emojis. I don't like
any of the emojis in it. Even if it's a
smiley 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,

(07:58):
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 5 (08:14):
So when you say we're all adults, are you saying
that I'm not acting mature? If I see the message
in choosing not to respond, that's not mature, that's not
being an adult.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
I think 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,
if 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
gonna marry. I don't think that it makes its two
totally different situations. And I'm a jealous guy. If Chelsea's

(08:46):
exes 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.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
I go, okay, no.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
Problem, h Carlos, what's up is Mojo in the morning?
What do you think about this? Carlos?

Speaker 6 (09:06):
I love you, Mojoe, but I'm with Wes. I am
with Wes. 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.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
Say that. Okay, you're cutting out?

Speaker 2 (09:33):
Are you pushing buttons or hitting your your cheeks hitting
the phone?

Speaker 1 (09:37):
Carloss.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
Carlos is a He is a He's a Latin man
with with lots of jealousy. 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 my how you doing?

Speaker 6 (10:02):
Real good modo.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
I was going to comment on this. So my wife
is a lot like Shannon.

Speaker 9 (10:09):
She's just a super bubbly, happy, go lucky person and
she gets messages just like Shannon's describing all the time.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
Some guys.

Speaker 9 (10:17):
She hasn't talked to her exes from her past whatever.
And I have to agree with west one.

Speaker 8 (10:23):
Because of the examples that I'm about to give is
with the emojis. In my opinion, the emojis are a
gateway to getting a D pick in the future unsolicited.

Speaker 10 (10:34):
Not anything you're encouraging, but it happens.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
I swear to God, I swear to God.

Speaker 9 (10:38):
My wife will respond just like you did, Shannon.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
She'll be like, oh, nice to talk to you. Hope
you're doing well too. And then that guy gets drunk
one night.

Speaker 9 (10:46):
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 3 (10:55):
Let the record, you know.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
That, by the way, is the greatest.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
The emoji is the gayway to a deep egg.

Speaker 5 (11:04):
Starts with a smile, leads to a sack. You never know, Liz,
what's going on?

Speaker 1 (11:08):
Liz?

Speaker 8 (11:08):
Hi?

Speaker 1 (11:11):
Hello?

Speaker 11 (11:12):
Liz?

Speaker 10 (11:13):
Oh sorry, Hi?

Speaker 1 (11:15):
Hey, what's going on?

Speaker 8 (11:22):
So?

Speaker 10 (11:22):
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 10 (11:29):
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. 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

(12:11):
feel comfortable with my husband doing.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
Oh yeah, So do you think that this guy should
just be blocked and be blessed and moved on?

Speaker 10 (12:23):
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. I think it's probably a
little bit more situational. I think the algorithm probably brought
him over back to you somehow. Do I think he
needs to be blocked? 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.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
And by the way, algorithm is that also code for
depicts about to come to.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
Anna. You there, Anna, Hi Anna?

Speaker 11 (12:55):
Hi?

Speaker 1 (12:56):
Anna doesn't agree with you, Shannon, what do you want
to say?

Speaker 11 (13:02):
I don't agree at all. I'm sorry, Shannon. 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 5 (13:13):
I'm blocking.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
Yeah, you're right, looking back, you are right. I was wrong.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
If we're all grown people, why do we have to
be that way?

Speaker 5 (13:22):
Why does grown doesn't have to look and go ahead?
I'm sorry, I don't want to interrupt.

Speaker 6 (13:26):
Oh that's kay.

Speaker 11 (13:27):
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 7 (13:40):
Like?

Speaker 6 (13:40):
What's the purpose?

Speaker 2 (13:42):
I just feel like he was part of our 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 definitely gotten over through Theraah.
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.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
Are you working with this man? No? Look, all history
doesn't inside.

Speaker 5 (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.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
You can be an.

Speaker 5 (14:22):
Adult and be elevated if you want to and reach
out and have no feelings, or you can be an
adult and say this is my past and that's why
I'm gonna believe it.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
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 on the
side of the road, what do you do?

Speaker 1 (14:53):
You run over?

Speaker 8 (14:54):
It?

Speaker 5 (14:54):
Not the same situation. Don't try to move a gold post.
I'm not moving goalposts.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
If you saw him on the side on a road, Gods,
hold stop playing.

Speaker 2 (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 your 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

(15:23):
hell 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.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
Of the Lord. I'm gonna say they were on the
side of the road,
