Speaker 1 (00:00):
High, mister awesome.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
What's going on?

Speaker 3 (00:03):
Guys?

Speaker 2 (00:03):
How you doing good?

Speaker 3 (00:04):
What do you got for us?

Speaker 4 (00:06):
All right?

Speaker 2 (00:06):
I just need to know if I'm overreacting or not. So. Uh,
my wife and I we've been together for about ten
years now, we're expecting our first child. She works in
an office setting with a couple of girls and guys,
and she became close with this one gentleman at work,
and she is wanting to name our kid after him.

(00:30):
Now now, they she said, they're just friends, nothing's ever happened.
I trust her, but I don't want to kid named
after me? But am I overreacting to say that she
wants to name the kid after him?

Speaker 1 (00:43):
No?

Speaker 5 (00:43):
Wait a second, does she Is she honestly wanting to
name him?

Speaker 4 (00:48):
Name your baby after him?

Speaker 5 (00:50):
Or is she wanting to use the same name because
there's a difference.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
That's a good. Well, we don't know anyone else with
this name in our circle, so you know, his name
is is not a unique name. But you know, uh,
we were coming up with baby names and she goes, oh,
what about this name? And I said from work? And
she goes, yeah, from work?

Speaker 3 (01:14):
Is it first name and middle name or first name only?

Speaker 2 (01:18):
It's just first name.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Now, what is the reason she has to want to
use his name?

Speaker 2 (01:27):
She didn't really say, she just says, what about his name?
I kind of like to, you know, it would fit
in with our family.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
Is he a friction point in your relationship with her?

Speaker 3 (01:41):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (01:41):
There was one point in time because they did go
out to lunch a couple of times that they said
it was for work, and you know, and she hangs
out with in quite a bit. You know, she's out,
she's there every day, eight hours a day, and you
know she's talked about him, you know, off the clock
at home, stuff like that, and they text every every
once in a while. But there's I wouldn't considered it

(02:03):
a fliction point, but it's just was a little weird
that our first boy she wants to name after him.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
You've had enough, But you've had an argument or a
discussion that felt passionate about her situation with him?

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Yes, once or twice?

Speaker 1 (02:21):
All right, I've got enough to make a judgment, lindsay,
do you have enough? Do you have enough?

Speaker 3 (02:26):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Yeah, all right? So his question is should he be
bothered that she wants to name the kid after a
coworker that is her work husband? And did you say
you're married or just dating?

Speaker 2 (02:40):
We are married?

Speaker 5 (02:41):
Yes, okay, lindsay you have a right to your feelings. Yes,
thank You are not overreacting.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
Okay, gimby ae hundred percent, you are not overreacting. Bro,
that is so effing weird. She wants to name it
after him and not her dad or you or her brother.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
Uh. I agree one hundred percent. You have a right
to play a part in the decision of the name.
It doesn't matter if they had a relationship or not.
That's just extra information. If you don't want it to
be that name, there's no reason for you to not
say you're not a fan of that name. I have
a side question, yep, Are you and her a certain ethnicity?

Speaker 2 (03:35):
We are one of the other. I'm more of a Hispanic,
she's more go ahead, he's more white.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
Okay. What I'm getting at is, when the baby's born,
do you think there'll be a discernible character trait that
you can go.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Whoa, Uh, I'm not sure because he's he is white.
So you know, I'd like to say say I have
strong genes in my family, the boys, So you know,
we got some strong you know, noses and eyebrows and stuff.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
But do either of you have kids from a previous situation?

Speaker 2 (04:12):
We do not.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
Okay. How old are you?

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Uh thirty five?

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Both of us okay, okay, and you've been together since
seven years?

Speaker 2 (04:22):
I think, uh course to ten married seven Okay.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
Man, I like sometimes in these situations to think, why
should like, why would she want to do that? Especially
if she knew there was it was a contention, like
there was a discussion you guys had about your uncomfortableness
with their relationship. So to me, that is an interesting reason.
Why is she want that name?

Speaker 4 (04:48):
May I ask what the what the name is?

Speaker 1 (04:50):
I don't think he wants to share on purpose.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
Can't we dump it?

Speaker 1 (04:53):
Yeah, we can dump it? Yeah. I mean it's a
very neutral name. Like there's no there's plenty of people
with that name. We dumped it, so no one.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
Has the short but we in our circle have no
one named that name that we talk to or hang
out with. Nothing. That's the only one that that only
one that we know.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
Of now that name is the same name that is
on my caller ID right now. So yes, sir, just curious,
that's not your name at all? Whatsoever? The name that's
on my caller ID right now? No, sir, Okay, does

(05:38):
this other person pay your phone bill? Or is it
on your wife's plan? And she got it from somebody else?

Speaker 2 (05:48):
So so, so he does not pay our phone bill,
but he is on our plan.

Speaker 4 (05:55):
What?

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (06:00):
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. You gotta
pump the brakes here. So your wife of ten years
has a coworker on your family plan? Just a yes
or no? Is what I need from you on this
so far?

Speaker 2 (06:18):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (06:19):
Was it her idea? Yes or no?

Speaker 2 (06:23):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (06:27):
Does the word cuck mean anything to you?

Speaker 2 (06:34):
I had a feeling that was gonna come up, but
it is not.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
I let me ask you. I'm gonna ask one more
and then I'm gonna because I know lindsay you can
have some things. They want to say, what makes you
think that's okay? Because you may have a good reason.
Why do you think it's okay to have this man
that you don't think is awesome on your family plan?

Speaker 2 (06:58):
So it came up. He was struggling in life and
he you know, he can pay a little bit, and
so he pays. But because we got him a new phone,
it added to our family plan because he couldn't afford
like a whole new iPhone. He asked if we could
add it to him, and then he just pays us
the monthly installments, and so that's what we did.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
Right now, I'm practicing anger control. Yeah right, bro, Wow, Okay, Lindsey, go.

Speaker 4 (07:29):
Ahead, Okay. So I think that what she's doing is
she's trying to name this baby after the baby's dad.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
That's not good.

Speaker 4 (07:48):
No, it's not.

Speaker 5 (07:51):
I think you need to go to the doctor and
get a DNA test before this baby is born.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
Oh, well, the babies do the end of the month.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
You'd definitely have a paternity test DNA test done when
the baby is born.

Speaker 4 (08:08):
You can do it beforehand, can you.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
I don't Yeah, I didn't know that.

Speaker 4 (08:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
If you had a female coworker and you it was
your work wife and she you and I, you and
her became close, and your wife was not okay with it,
and then you were like, hey, can we put them
on the family plan and buy him a new phone?
How do you think she would handle that?

Speaker 2 (08:34):
Well, she's a very cheerful person, so I mean, you
know she, I'd kind of like to think we both
were would be okay with it.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
I'd like to think that.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
In the ten years of togetherness, seven years of marriage.
How many times have you let strangers be on your
family plan? To him, go ahead, Corbyn, have you ever
had a stranger on your family plan?

Speaker 4 (09:07):
Hell?

Speaker 2 (09:07):
No, Hell no.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
Lindsey, have you ever had a stranger I'll leaven save
family members on your family plan?

Speaker 4 (09:14):
No?

Speaker 3 (09:15):
No?

Speaker 1 (09:17):
I oh, this is a great question. Somebody text in.
Is he gay?

Speaker 2 (09:23):
No he is not.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
Is he married?

Speaker 2 (09:27):
No he is not.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
Say it finish the sentence.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
You almost said it that he is a single, good
looking guy.

Speaker 4 (09:38):
Are you in a threttle?

Speaker 2 (09:41):
No? No, we are.

Speaker 4 (09:43):
You are.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
We are.

Speaker 3 (09:45):
Whether you like it or not.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
But it's a fair question. Have you been in an
open relation? Have you two ever been in an open relationship?

Speaker 2 (09:53):
No?

Speaker 1 (09:54):
Well he hasn't. Yeah, this is a great text that
somebody is asking. The listeners are sending some great text
which we are way over in time. But I don't care.
How do you not see the red flags?

Speaker 2 (10:10):
Because, like I said, we're both kind of good people.
I'd like to think and well, you know, it might
be somebody struggling.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
It ain't your job. It ain't your job to take
care of a struggling adult.

Speaker 4 (10:28):
Yeah, you forgot single and good looking.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
Right, why is he struggling? He has a job. How
long has he worked there?

Speaker 2 (10:38):
He's been there for about three years.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
Now, struggling struggling? Did did he I don't know, give
some money to a Zimbabwean prince? What do you mean struggling?

Speaker 2 (10:49):
Well, he was, he was a little homeless before this,
before the job.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
Three years ago. Three years ago.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
Yeah, that's what she was telling me, that he struggle.

Speaker 4 (11:03):
Who has attached himself to your wife?

Speaker 5 (11:07):
Your wife, Nope, And now she wants to name your
child after him.

Speaker 4 (11:18):
That probably is his child.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
So listen, what you do with your life ain't none
of my business. Okay, However, you're a listener of the show.
Listeners are friends. In my opinion, you called an asked
you need to figure out if this is how you
want to be loved.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
Okay, right, yeah I can, I can, Yeah, yeah, I
can get I can do a test. I want to
wait till the baby's born.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
Somebody texted and said somebody and people are like, if
you wait till the baby's born, it'll be your name
will be on the burst of you. You should do
something now. Jeff Hensley from Hensley Associates has pointed out
many times. If you are married and the other person
gets pregnant, they will not deal with the divorce until
the birth of the baby, So your name will be
on the Bertha tificate anyway either way. But if it

(12:16):
isn't your kid, you are responsible for it because you
are married.

Speaker 3 (12:22):
Yes, I would suggest calling in Monday at nine o'clock
when Jeff is in that way, in case we are
misrepresenting anything that he may have said, miss remembering it.
You can get it straight from the horse's mouth. Jeff Hensley,
the family law attorney right there. I think personally, I

(12:44):
think that'd be the best thinks.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
Hold on, yeah, yeah, I'm piecing something together here. You
said that he's on your family plan. Yes, then why
is his name on the caller ID? It should be
your name?

Speaker 2 (13:02):
M h he's yeah, he's the primary holder. Uh be
we have bad credit and so we basically paid for every.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
Story's not your story's not adding up?

Speaker 2 (13:16):
Your story?

Speaker 1 (13:17):
Yeah, your story's not adding up because you said he
doesn't he's had down on his luck. But now the
story is is that you have bad credit. So was
he down on his luck or were you.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
No, No, we just had bad credit. But we had money,
and we were we had to do bankruptcy and everything
like that. So we get a phone plan. He was
okay with credit and so we put it all in
his name and then got phones that way. But we're
paying for everything except his phone, which he pays for.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
Wow, Okay, people want to know if we can line
up to fight this guy. No. No, this guy's trying
to figure it out, man, and he's calling us to
trust us to give give advice. Bro, I think you're
in a really serious situation. It could be a nothing burger,
but I think you're in a pretty serious situation.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
Like yeah, when, okay, when did so?

Speaker 1 (14:14):
When is she doing?

Speaker 2 (14:15):
A couple of weeks at the end of October?

Speaker 1 (14:18):
At the end of October, so she got pregnant in
January February?

Speaker 2 (14:25):
Yes, sir?

Speaker 1 (14:27):
Does that work in your mind? Like can you pinpoint
the time and was that the time that they were
spending a lot of time together?

Speaker 2 (14:37):
Well, they always spend time together, but I mean it's
it's mainly at work. We don't see him. You know,
he doesn't come over for anything for sports and stuff.
I'm not friends with him, so I don't invite him
over for you know, beers barbecue or anything like that.
She just works with the guy.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
He's never been in your house.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
That I am aware of.

Speaker 4 (14:59):
No, what kind of work do they do?

Speaker 2 (15:03):
Just an office setting building.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
There's a lot of red flags for me, so many
of them. There's a lot of red flags. And the
more you tell us, the more red flags are showing up.
I don't how does he How does he get convinced
he is she isn't cheating? Lindsay, what could she say
or prove that they're that this isn't she wants to

(15:29):
the naming is the is the for me? The seiler?

Speaker 2 (15:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (15:32):
Before it was like, ah maybe, but now the information we.

Speaker 5 (15:36):
Have, yeah, I feel like it's she's omitting the affair
almost with this.

Speaker 3 (15:49):
I think the only way that he could believe what
she's saying is with DNA test. And when that DNA
test comes back and Mariy Povich says, mister Awsome, you
are the father, then all right, you good?

Speaker 1 (16:07):
Okay, A listener just text something really good. Yeah, did
your wife's work have a company Christmas party? And did
you go?

Speaker 5 (16:20):

Speaker 2 (16:21):
Yes, they do have those kind of parties and and
yes I do it's him.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
Did you this year?

Speaker 2 (16:28):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (16:28):
Were you guys ever separated for a minimum of ten minutes.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
No, okay, somebody's asking her name and I'm gonna dump it.
No one will hear it except for the people in
the studio. What okay, okay, that's not match. Somebody's texting in.
Do you have cameras on your home?

Speaker 2 (16:52):
We have some outsides, yes, and none inside? Really?

Speaker 1 (16:56):
Oh, I got another good one? Do you have fine
my iPhone?

Speaker 2 (17:00):

Speaker 1 (17:01):
Do you guys share your locations?

Speaker 2 (17:04):
Yes, on the Yes, on a on a certain not
on iPhone like that one. Yeah, on an app? Yes?

Speaker 1 (17:10):
Does is he and that too?

Speaker 2 (17:14):
No? He is not.

Speaker 4 (17:16):
Who gets the phone bill?

Speaker 2 (17:19):
He does because it's all in his name.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
And then you guys give him money.

Speaker 2 (17:26):
No, no, no, So he gets the phone bill, we
pay it, and then he gives us money for his portion, right.

Speaker 3 (17:34):
Because you just pay online. Anybody can pay online.

Speaker 1 (17:36):
How old are you?

Speaker 3 (17:37):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (17:38):
Thirty five?

Speaker 1 (17:42):
You need to cut ties, bro with this guy. There's
no reason for all this. I understand you have bad credit.
I understand that you can get phones with bad credit.
People do it all the time.

Speaker 3 (17:54):
Obama phone.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
Yeah, you don't need him. You're giving Let's say she's
not you're creating scenarios that provide the idea that she
may be cheating in your head, What was for you
the indicator that, like, has that ever entered your mind
that she's cheating?

Speaker 2 (18:14):
Obviously it has, Yeah, yeah, it has.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
Yeah, so we go ahead and finish.

Speaker 5 (18:23):
Someone wants to know where were you when you found
out she was pregnant.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
Uh? She told me at Olive Garden one dinner.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
That's nice, Well you could eat soup and salit.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
What was her reaction when she told.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
You, Well, we were happy. We weren't trying, but we
were happy, you know that we're you know, I kind
of finally have an air you know, as a as
a man, to have a son, and so pretty happy.

Speaker 1 (18:54):
Maybe usually when a woman, especially a first child, especially
an unannounced planned child, the woman's very emotional for a
multitude of reasons chemically, but also because of the moment.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
Yeah was she I mean, yeah, like I said, we
were out of dinner to Olive Garden and she you know,
pulled out the test and told us, you know where
you're gonna be a father's and everything like that, and
then I went to every doctor's appointment and everything, and
so you know, it was a pretty pretty emotional kind
of for both of us.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
Yeah. Usually women are unconsolable in that moment that maybe yours,
maybe not. We have taken too much time, too much, dude,
I you deserve the best. I hope it works out.
If I can give you any advice, Get your own
phone plan as an adult appreciates as a man who
has a job and can provide. Get your own phone plan.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
Alrighty, I appreciate you guys. Thank you so much for
your time.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
Hey, listen, let us know how it goes.

Speaker 4 (19:58):
Man.

Speaker 1 (19:59):
I'd love an update please. Yeah, I'll do it all right, man,
see you later.

Speaker 2 (20:05):
Thank you.
