Speaker 2 (00:17):
Nicki Drake, tell us a story and please make it.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
So.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
It was my husband, myself, and my parents on a vacation.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
All right.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
So, and we've vacationed with my parents before. They're very chill.
They can go off and do their own things, so
it's not like overwhelming or overbearingly.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
You rarely fall off the back of the ship and
have to be rescued.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
Rare almost never, almost never, right, So my mom and
I decided, okay, hey, let's go get drinks. And we're
at one of the bars and there is another adult
child with her parents sitting at the bar, and strike
up a conversation because my parents are just tickled. Then
the children don't want to vacation with them, like they
(01:02):
just love it.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Right, So this adult child or woman, yes, okay, but.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
My parents always say, my adult children want to go
on vacation with us.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
So we're at the bar.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
And I'm talking to this person and we're talking about how,
you know, we vacation with our parents. How it goes
like a little sharing stories back and forth, and she's
just like, oh, is that your mom?
Speaker 5 (01:27):
I was like, yeah, it is.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
My mom's just walking up to the bar and she
was like, wow, you guys look exactly alike. And I
was like, oh.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
Well thanks, I'll let her know.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
And and then a little bit later afterward, the three
of us women are talking, her dad walks up. I
was like, oh my gosh, that's got to be your dad, right,
She was like, yeah it is. I was like, I
could tell you.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
Guys look alike, and that's when it's started.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
That's when it started to get a little awkward because
she was just like, oh, yeah, I've been told that before.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Just like she didn't care for that, didn't seem to
care for it. So now I'm not sure if I insulted.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Her or not. So the question is is it insulting
to tell a woman, yeah, that she looks like her father?
Speaker 5 (02:12):
Uh huh?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Okay, Now I have to ask was her dad an
attractive guy? Was he a good looking guy?
Speaker 5 (02:18):
He's average looking?
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (02:20):
I mean like he wasn't like short, bolding, full beard,
you look just like it.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
He wasn't like one of like the book boyfriend age
gap romance, like you know, heroes from a story or
anything like that.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
But you know, he was attractive, just you know.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
And he was like one of the characters in your
your books about pirates, right right, love in the Time
of Scurvy.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Right, yeah, exactly?
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Okay, thanks Jo, welcome eight eight eight seven seven seven
sixty six forty is the studio and or textual line.
You can also text us at three five six, five
to one. Let's just toss it out here. I guess
this is a question directly aimed at women. Is it
insulting to you if somebody tells you that you look
like your dad? Would that insult you? And I guess
(03:06):
in my thing in thinking, it would kind of depend
on really what your dad looks like, I mean, because
that's kind of a tough sell. Seriously, if your dad
is you know, short, bald, has a beard, I mean,
and you're a woman and somebody goes you look just
like you're like, which part of the bald part the beard?
What part do Yeah? I could see that, but you know,
(03:28):
generally that's kind of a specific features thing, like maybe
you have your dad's eyes, you know, or his nose,
Bruce strong, chisel jawl line. Maybe I don't know. Talking
to you with a simple question for the ladies, if
someone tells you that you look just like your dad,
(03:50):
and you, of course are a woman, do you find
that insulting? Because Nikki apparently blurted this out on the
cruise ship said unto some woman that she met, hey,
you look just like your dad, and the woman was like, so, Nikki,
before we get to the calls here, what are you
seeing on the textual line?
Speaker 4 (04:10):
On the textual line, Oh no, it's refreshing. Oh oh no,
I've lost internet, did you all know. Let's see, I
was always told that I looked like my dad and
that I have his eyes. My dad is a very
smiley person, so I don't take it as an insult.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
Smiling okay, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Okay, yeah, sure, yeah, okay.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
That's what I got right now.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Okay, all right, I'm sorry. I was waiting on more very.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Good because I lost internet, so that's the only one
I was able to snatch.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Yeah, I don't well, I don't know. Let me let
me go to the phone.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Here.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
There's a man on the line, which is this. This
is kind of like you know, we said, hey, ladies,
would you be insulted if somebody tells you you look
just like your dad? And then a guy calls in it.
This is like when you go fish and you pull
up something that you're not anticipating, right, like we're trying
to catch a certain kind of fish here, yeah, and
then you know we pull it up and it's like
an inner tube or something. Okay, all right, so there's
(05:08):
a man now who wants to address this. Go ahead, sir.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
So the reason I was calling in was because I
heard that. But I just want to tell you guys
that it is insulting when people because I look a
lot like my dad, when my dad's around people, they
think it's me. All thought that was him. I thought
that was your son. And so that's a little bit
insulting because then because I'm thirty five years old.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
And your dad's seventies, my dad, my dad's seventies. You know,
oh god, you know what, maybe it's time for some
I cream and some just for men for your hair, sir.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
I need, I need all of it.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Maybe, so maybe maybe that's maybe that's what you're just
wear a football helmet everywhere you go. I don't know.
This is probably not good. What if somebody told you,
as a man that you look like your mom? Would
that insult you?
Speaker 3 (06:02):
So as a man looking like my mom, it would
insult me a little bit, because you know, I don't
personally I don't like my mom's features. I love my mom, you.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Know, but but you don't like I love my mom.
But oh she is an unpleasant looking woman.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Oh no, he's not.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
He's just saying.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
God, well, let me ask you this.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
I'm sure you are. Here's the thing, though, if your
mom this morning, I certainly hope she is not. If
your mom, though, is old enough, you know, she's in
the same age range as your dad, around seventy. She's
you know, gotten to that point where she's starting to
grow facial hair, so you know, maybe she uh, you know,
somebody says you look like her, it's not that insulting exactly.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
She actually recently asked me to get her one of
them like them, uh motorized razors, And I was like, man.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Uh huh, okay, I think probably we should wrap it up.
We I don't before we cause any more damage between
you and your mom. I mean we've we've done visually
a pleasant, and now she's shaving her face with a razor.
This is this is just going downhill. Thanks for the call, buddy,
I appreciate it. Mom's a werewolf, right, Yeah, that's okay?
Speaker 3 (07:22):
All right?
Speaker 5 (07:23):
What are you sing that I got my Internet back?
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Personally, I do take offense, but that's only because my
dad is a large bearded man, and I do not
believe I look like a large bearded man.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Yeah, I get that. I think if I'm this woman
and somebody says you look just like your dad and
he's a large bearded man, I think I would say,
how so right, because you know, maybe they'll drill down
on it. Then maybe they'll say, oh, you have his
eyes or you know, his broad shoulders, Yeah, you know
something like that.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
I just maybe they'll give you some reason.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
It's call aflower ear. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Right. Have you been repeatedly punched in the head? Oh gosh,
please continue?
Speaker 5 (08:06):
This one's funny.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
If you're Maya Lesnar, then yes, that's the daughter of
Brock Lesner.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
Okay, well, yeah that would be something.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
You know what I used to say, Brooke Hogan looks
like Paul Cogan in a wig. I mean, I've seen
a lot of women whose yeah, yeah, that's exactly right.
All right, Well, look I see calls coming in. You
are on the Jack and Nikki show, thoughts, So.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
First time call her here. My my sister was an
actress and she was in a play with this guy
that had a crush on her. And backstage after the
first seage, she said, I'm so excited my parents are here.
And the guy who was into my sister, he said, oh,
how can I find them? And she said, all people say,
(08:53):
my dad looks just like me. And the guy who
was very interested in aiding my sister said, oh, your
dad must be really.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
And then.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
Line uh and it was pretty much over from there.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
For that, and that was the end of it.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
That was the end of it.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
That is unfortunate, all rightunate, Well, thank you for that
charming story. Sorry than you. I like that we give
people not only the opportunity to call in on the
show and offer their opinions, but we give people the
opportunity to call in and do their old von.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
The Nerve Center of North Central West Virginia, Jack Loger
and Nikki Drake on one O two w v a Q.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Let's talk about the kids now, Mistakes can be made,
things can happen, and parenting can be let's say, terrible,
unorthodox and totally irresponsible.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
I'm the worst.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Parent ever responsible irresponsible individuals is clearly irresponsible.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
First thing you can do as a parent.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
You must stak were the worst parents in the world. Okay,
this is another one of those situations where we're gonna
need to hear from parents because, for the life of me,
I cannot figure out how this is possible.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
I can't either.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Run through so many scenarios in my mind. I don't
know how a kid gets out the door at the
house with no pants on, but it happened, and thankfully
the teacher who caught it ran to the internet to
tell us all about it.
Speaker 7 (10:32):
I had a student come to school with no pants on,
just underwear, just underwear. First grader, poor thing, got on
the bus, no pants, no panther on. Came to school,
realized he had no pants, was extremely embarrassed, came up
to the office, so I called I put pants on him,
and then I called his mom and I was like, hey,
(10:54):
just to heads that your son had no no pants
on today when he came to school on the bus,
didn't have pants, and she was like so embarrassed as
any mom, any good mom would be. And she I
told her like, hey, I thought pants on him, He's
good to go, Like when he's home, he's gonna have
a different pair of pants on. She was so embarrassed
she came to school and brought him his own pair
(11:16):
of pants. How nice, good, Oh, it's just those are
the things that make my job, Hili, are you okay?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
There are many things here.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
How was he let on the bus and when he
didn't have pants on?
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (11:28):
How the bus driver allowed that?
Speaker 1 (11:29):
What happened?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Let's run through this good question? So question number one? Yeah,
how did he leave the house without his mom noticing
he has no pants on? Number two? How does he
get on the bus without the bus driver going, hey, there, fella,
you don't have any pants on? Yeah? Okay? Then he
gets to school. Here's a question I have. She said,
if you listen to that carefully, that he came to
school and then he realized that he had no pants on.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Right, okay, So the kids on the bus also didn't
tease him for not having pants on exactly because I'm sorry,
have you ever ridden a school bus?
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Well, sure. I mean, you can't expect kids to not
say something if one of the kids gets on with
no pants, right, So he gets to school and then
he looks down and he goes, you know, there's something's
different today. I feel kind of like some wind on
my legs. What's different?
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (12:19):
I think I'm supposed to have pants on? Yeah, this
is bewildered, it is.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
Yeah, at least somebody would have commented about like the
teenage mutant ninja turtled underwear or something, right, like I'm
assuming allegedly I don't know what.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Characters so many, so many places he had to go,
people he had to see. Yeah, okay, parents, please please
explain this. Is there any way? Is there any way
possible that this could happen and there's not something wrong
(12:52):
at home? I mean there's not. I don't know. I mean,
I don't want to necessarily be smirched this mom and
say that she's a bad mom, because I don't know that.
I guess, you know, you can get through the cracks.
My question is is not so much that that the
if the mom is bad, It's more how is this possible?
(13:14):
How is this? How do you get all the way
to school? As we just said, go through all of
those people, and and then it gets discovered. Okay, eight
eight eight seven seven seven sixty six forty you can
call her text that. You can also text us at
three five sixty five one. Somebody in the parenting community,
give us your best guess at how this happens. I
(13:35):
just want to know. I'm curious. Jack and Nikki working
on a parenting mystery. How does a boy in first
grade get all the way to school with no pants
on and no one notices until he's at school. Not
the parents, not the bus driver, not the other kids
(13:56):
on the bus, not the kids in the school. No
one figures it out until some teacher just happens to notice, Hey,
this kid doesn't have any pants on, and she calls
the mom and says, your kid doesn't have pants and
then of course immediately goes to the internet to make
fun of the situation. And thank god she did, because
otherwise we wouldn't know anything about it. We are getting
(14:17):
some reaction here on the text lines, people tossing out
some theories. The most prominent theory is he was wearing
boxers and it just kind of gave the appearance of
shorts and nobody caught it right.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Somebody said, there's no explanation other than it had to
be the dad who got him on the bus and
the kid had boxers on he didn't notice.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Well, okay, good opportunity for some missandury in there. So
cheers to that. Don't really get a lot of mail
bashing in the media. But the way I read that
was not just that the boy had boxers on, but
also the dad.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
Yeah, oh maybe that's like just how they are. They
just wear boxers.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
And I my hand to God, my hand to God.
I read that and my first thought was dad's in boxers.
He goes down to get on the bus with the kid,
put the kid on the bus. When he looks down
and sees boxers on the kid, he looks over it
himself and sees he's wearing boxers, and he goes, yeah,
it looks fine to me.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Yeah right. The kid just wants to be like his dad, Ye, yeah,
his hero. He wants to dress up like dad.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Yeah right. And the dad's proud. He's like, we're wearing
matching under rus. What's the problem.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
I like your your interpretation better, Jack, Thank you for that.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
What makes it even better? As I got all defensive
about malmastering, and then I piled on take that Dad.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
The Jack and Niki Show, WVQ.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
It's time now for something a little different. It's the
All New Jack and Nicki Mysteries. Oh yeah, yeah, that's right.
We're going to debut it now and then of course
you can catch it Saturday mornings at ten o'clock on ABC,
The All New Jack and Nicky Mysteries. I wanted to
ask you guys a question here because we talk about
(16:02):
scams on the show once in a while that are
going around, and it's usually you know, people calling the
house and saying they're with the police and they're going
to arrest you if you don't give them your credit
card number to pay a ticket, or you know some nonsense.
Something weird kind of happened at the house the other day,
Well it actually happened. It didn't kind of happen. Something
happened that was kind of weird. Hey, we got the
(16:24):
mail and discovered an empty package with the return address
Amy from Chicago. Okay, that's it, just Amy, and then
an address in Chicago. It was addressed to Jessica. There's
(16:45):
nothing in this. It's completely it's completely empty, and it's
it's just like a it's like a slip. It's like
a it's not it's bigger than an envelope. It's like,
you know, plastic, and you tear it open and you
look and you go, well, there's nothing in here at all.
And it had a QR code on the front of
the package, and so right away I'm suspicious. Yeah, right,
(17:09):
And Jessica came in and showed it to me and
she was like, what, I have no idea what this is.
I said, I don't know what it is either, But
what I do know is, let's not scan that QR code. Right,
So I'm just curious. Is anybody else getting anything like
this empty package with a QR code on it? And
then just I don't know, maybe it's always Amy from Cago,
(17:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
I don't know, but that's interesting.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
I'm tossing it out here eight eight eight seven seven
seven sixty six forty the studio line. You can also
text us at that number. You can text us at
three five sixty five to one. What are your thoughts here, Nicki.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Drake, that is concerning It's definitely it's got to be
some sort of scam.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
Potentially.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Keep in mind, we didn't order anything from Amy in
Chicago or from anywhere in Chicago.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
Yeah right, Etsy store orders or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Not from there.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
Yeah, I don't know that is concerning.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
I wonder if it's trying to figure out if somebody's
gonna send it back, you know, like.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Seeing right, is it a phishing thing?
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Is right?
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Because like you said, sometimes you'll get emails, you'll get
texts and things where they're just trying to get you
to respond because they want to verify that that's still
a working number.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
The QR was that just like separate from a shipping label?
Was that separate thing?
Speaker 2 (18:27):
It was?
Speaker 5 (18:28):
It wasn't okay? Yeah, see, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
That it was separate.
Speaker 5 (18:30):
I don't like that at all.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Something is not right here. And again for people who
are not savvy, you you maybe could fall for that
because again that we have you know, people calling like, uh,
just give you my credit card number here because apparently
I will Oh some told money that I wasn't aware of.
So here's my number. So yeah, all right, So I'm
just again I'm throwing this out there. I won'er if
(18:52):
anybody else has experienced this, you haven't had this show
up yet, I've not seen anything like this. This is
a new one, all right. Now, while talking about scams,
here's another story that we stumbled upon this morning. Apparently
there are restaurants that charge extra if you were eating
there by yourself because they consider it quiet time, and
(19:14):
there's a surcharge because you've been there and enjoyed the
peace and quiet. So there's an extra fee.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
For that because you're just there by yourself, because you
have so much control over who else is walking into
that restaurant.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Well, there's a story out of the New York Post
about somebody who they wish to remain anonymous. They don't
want any trouble, but they went to this restaurant, they
got their bill. There was a twenty percent fee added
to the bill as a quiet time surcharge because the
restaurant was empty when they were there, and so that
is a bonus to them. That's a benefit that they
(19:46):
otherwise wouldn't have had. So they're like, hey, if you
come in, place is busy, there's a lot of chatter,
that's normal. But if you come in and no one
is here, now you have the place all to yourself
and it's peace and quiet you need to pay extra
for that is amazing.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
But you're not even calling ahead to reserve that. You're
just walking in and there's nobody else.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
There, right, Like, what so you pay extra?
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Now?
Speaker 5 (20:09):
That makes no sense.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Here's the thing. When I go into a restaurant and
it's completely empty and I go in and sit down,
I always think that I'm helping them. I always think, Hey,
because I'm here eating, they're making money right now that
they wouldn't be making if I hadn't come in.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Right, I'm like, they're running a restaurant. I hailed right,
the very notion that you would be charged extra for that?
Should we put that told about it up front?
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Either?
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Should we put that in a scam column?
Speaker 5 (20:38):
That's a scam?
Speaker 2 (20:39):
That's a scam? Tib absolutely all Right, then, well, I
think we're making some kind of progress here. We've identified
at least one scam maybe too. You guys, let me
know if you're seeing this package show up with QR code.
We are doing some slew thing right now. We're learning things,
you guys, things that we need to know, things that
(21:01):
will protect us from the scammers. Okay, so I was
talking about getting a package an empty package at the
house the other day, just showed up with nothing in
it but a QR code on the front that we
did not scan, and we think maybe some kind of
phishing thing whatever.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
By the way, you can report that to the FTC.
It's Report fraud dot FTC dot gov.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
That'll teach Amy in Chicago. Yeah, rip off my family ce. Yeah,
think again, Amy, It's not gonna go down like that
crazy satch. All right, what are we seeing on the
text line here?
Speaker 5 (21:38):
All right? We got a furnace part cheap like that.
Checked it out.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
It was a scam, so I guess they received just
an unknown package with a furnace part in it.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Oh wow, Hey, here's a complimentary part for your furnace. Right,
may or may not fit the model that you have,
may or.
Speaker 5 (21:54):
May not explode when installed.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Yeah, yeah, aim away from face right. Okay.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
My grandma ordered something for my son. It was about
two hundred dollars from a Facebook ad. They sent her
an empty box just to have a shipping label and
kept her money. She couldn't get a hold of anybody
to get her money back.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
Yi Oh.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
You know what. That's the thing that's so frustrating is
when there's no phone number, there's no address. You can't
get a hold of anybody. There's nobody that you can
talk to. Yes, you have these transactions. If they go
south on you, you're just stuck.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
You're just out. Yeah, it's unfortunate.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
It really is unfortunate. Okay, you got one about a
restaurant here, I believe.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
Yeah, local restaurants took our card for us to pay
the bill charged.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
Us a convenience fee. We could have.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
Taken it to the register ourselves and not be charged
convenience fee.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Oh wow, Okay, let me make sure I'm understanding this.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
That's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
You paid with a card and they charged you a
fee to take the card from your table to the register.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
Yeah, a convenience convenience fee.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yeah, it saved you about eight steps, So for that
you're gonna have to pay. That's amazing. You know what,
there's there's so much weasling that goes on. Yeah, and
a lot of people probably don't even catch that, right, right.
They probably do that all the time to people who
don't even notice the convenience fee, and then they rack
(23:22):
up some money that way. You know, it's a volume business. Nikki,
you got to you gotta rip off a lot of
people to finally get where you want. This is the
part of the show where we go to the text
line and we feeled a question from you because.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
You you asked for it.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Now you're gonna get it. See, you asked for it.
We will turn the show over to you and your troubles,
your questions, your issues in your life. We will discuss
amongst ourselves, and of course we will air your dirty
laundry in front of everyone else and invite public comment
at eight eight eight seven seven seven sixty six forty
(24:06):
call or text that number. You can also text us
at three five sixty five one. Nikki Drake, please share
the text all right.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
For the last month, I've been having a hot email
and text relationship with someone who I thought was my soulmate.
I met her at a work function in Pittsburgh two
days ago. I found out she's married. She says she's
leaving her husband, but she needs more time.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
Should I believe her or not? Do married people ever
leave their failing marriages?
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (24:36):
My, I well, this is a disaster from one end
to the other.
Speaker 5 (24:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Really sorry, I'm laughing at you text her, Yeah, Nikki,
don't laugh at the Texters Okay, says she's leaving her
husband but needs more time. Should I believe her or not? Okay?
Speaker 5 (24:53):
Flag red flag?
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Yeah, let me toss out this question to you. Why
would you want her to why would you want her
to leave your.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Well, if he thinks, yeah, she's not, Look, this is
just not a good situation.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
It's not anytime you're involved with somebody who's married and
you're waiting on them to leave their spouse, you have
to look down the road a little bit and ask
the question, is this the type of person that I
would want to be married to? Now? Fool around with
is one thing, Mary is another. Yeah, okay, Now you
(25:34):
shouldn't even be fooling around with them because they're married.
If they don't respect their marital vows, you should Okay.
So there's two lines of defense there. They have enough
respect for their spouse to be faithful to them, and
if they don't, then you say, I don't mess around
with married people. Okay, So that's a two tiered system there.
But we've already broken all of that. However, apparently, unknowingly
(25:56):
on your part, to be fair to the Texter, didn't
know that this person was married.
Speaker 5 (26:00):
Right, that's a huge red flag.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Yeah, so that's not really on you because you were unaware.
But now you are aware, and what you should do
is pull a home or something and step backward through
the hedge and disappear into your own yard. Yes, because
this is not somebody that you want to take a
gamble on marrying.
Speaker 5 (26:18):
Now.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
I know that there are probably people listening right now, going,
wait a minute, My thirty year marriage started with her
cheating on her husband with me, and we've been happy
ever since that happens. It's possible.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
Sure, it's possible, but possible.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
But you play the odds. Yeah, you play the odds.
Generally speaking. The saying if they'll cheat with you, they'll
cheat on you, yes, generally speaking is true.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Yeah, so sir, I would say that you consider yourself
fortunate that you found out now and you get out
of it. Yeah, that would be my advice to you.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Yeah, because I mean it's been only a month at least,
you know, like according to the text, it's just been
a month. So like you're lucky you're not a year
or two into this and now you're finding out and yeah,
she needs more time. No, No, that's just stalling. Yeah,
it's a stalling tactic, like, don't believe it. Yeah, she's
(27:16):
not leaving.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
She's probably not.
Speaker 5 (27:18):
I just want to help you text her.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
I don't want to be I'm not trying to be
like mean, I'm just trying to.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Be honest and be fair. But how about this what
you just said? Right, So she's either stalling mm hmm,
which is bad for him if he wants to be
with her, or she will leave the husband and be
with him, which is also bad for him because that's
going to be a disaster down the road. This is
lose lose. The only way this guy wins is to
stop this and get away. Yeah, yeah, that's the only
(27:45):
winning in this.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
The text line is chiming in and this one all
caps run.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
For the hell.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
Right.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Yeah, but look.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
Here's another good point. If they're willing to lie about
a marriage, what else are they willing.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
To lie to you about?
Speaker 2 (28:01):
You got it?
Speaker 5 (28:02):
You're only a month in.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
It's just been a month.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Yeah. You know what I think probably has prompted this
is a loneliness. Lonely people make bad decisions. You know,
he's probably been alone for a while and he wants
somebody and yeah, he's just like hot Digity. I found
the girl of my dreams. Oh wait, what's that She
already has a husband.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
Well ever like that.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
The detailed
You're listening to the Jack and Niki Show podcast everywhere
you get your podcasts and at WBQ dot com. Join
Jack and Nicky live weekday mornings from six to ten
on one O two WVAQ.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Nicki Drake, tell us a story and please make it.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
So.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
It was my husband, myself, and my parents on a vacation.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
All right.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
So, and we've vacationed with my parents before. They're very chill.
They can go off and do their own things, so
it's not like overwhelming or overbearingly.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
You rarely fall off the back of the ship and
have to be rescued.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
Rare almost never, almost never, right, So my mom and
I decided, okay, hey, let's go get drinks. And we're
at one of the bars and there is another adult
child with her parents sitting at the bar, and strike
up a conversation because my parents are just tickled. Then
the children don't want to vacation with them, like they
(01:02):
just love it.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Right, So this adult child or woman, yes, okay, but.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
My parents always say, my adult children want to go
on vacation with us.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
So we're at the bar.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
And I'm talking to this person and we're talking about how,
you know, we vacation with our parents. How it goes
like a little sharing stories back and forth, and she's
just like, oh, is that your mom?
Speaker 5 (01:27):
I was like, yeah, it is.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
My mom's just walking up to the bar and she
was like, wow, you guys look exactly alike. And I
was like, oh.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
Well thanks, I'll let her know.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
And and then a little bit later afterward, the three
of us women are talking, her dad walks up. I
was like, oh my gosh, that's got to be your dad, right,
She was like, yeah it is. I was like, I
could tell you.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
Guys look alike, and that's when it's started.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
That's when it started to get a little awkward because
she was just like, oh, yeah, I've been told that before.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Just like she didn't care for that, didn't seem to
care for it. So now I'm not sure if I insulted.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Her or not. So the question is is it insulting
to tell a woman, yeah, that she looks like her father?
Speaker 5 (02:12):
Uh huh?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Okay, Now I have to ask was her dad an
attractive guy? Was he a good looking guy?
Speaker 5 (02:18):
He's average looking?
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (02:20):
I mean like he wasn't like short, bolding, full beard,
you look just like it.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
He wasn't like one of like the book boyfriend age
gap romance, like you know, heroes from a story or
anything like that.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
But you know, he was attractive, just you know.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
And he was like one of the characters in your
your books about pirates, right right, love in the Time
of Scurvy.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Right, yeah, exactly?
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Okay, thanks Jo, welcome eight eight eight seven seven seven
sixty six forty is the studio and or textual line.
You can also text us at three five six, five
to one. Let's just toss it out here. I guess
this is a question directly aimed at women. Is it
insulting to you if somebody tells you that you look
like your dad? Would that insult you? And I guess
(03:06):
in my thing in thinking, it would kind of depend
on really what your dad looks like, I mean, because
that's kind of a tough sell. Seriously, if your dad
is you know, short, bald, has a beard, I mean,
and you're a woman and somebody goes you look just
like you're like, which part of the bald part the beard?
What part do Yeah? I could see that, but you know,
(03:28):
generally that's kind of a specific features thing, like maybe
you have your dad's eyes, you know, or his nose,
Bruce strong, chisel jawl line. Maybe I don't know. Talking
to you with a simple question for the ladies, if
someone tells you that you look just like your dad,
(03:50):
and you, of course are a woman, do you find
that insulting? Because Nikki apparently blurted this out on the
cruise ship said unto some woman that she met, hey,
you look just like your dad, and the woman was like, so, Nikki,
before we get to the calls here, what are you
seeing on the textual line?
Speaker 4 (04:10):
On the textual line, Oh no, it's refreshing. Oh oh no,
I've lost internet, did you all know. Let's see, I
was always told that I looked like my dad and
that I have his eyes. My dad is a very
smiley person, so I don't take it as an insult.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
Smiling okay, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Okay, yeah, sure, yeah, okay.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
That's what I got right now.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Okay, all right, I'm sorry. I was waiting on more very.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Good because I lost internet, so that's the only one
I was able to snatch.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Yeah, I don't well, I don't know. Let me let
me go to the phone.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Here.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
There's a man on the line, which is this. This
is kind of like you know, we said, hey, ladies,
would you be insulted if somebody tells you you look
just like your dad? And then a guy calls in it.
This is like when you go fish and you pull
up something that you're not anticipating, right, like we're trying
to catch a certain kind of fish here, yeah, and
then you know we pull it up and it's like
an inner tube or something. Okay, all right, so there's
(05:08):
a man now who wants to address this. Go ahead, sir.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
So the reason I was calling in was because I
heard that. But I just want to tell you guys
that it is insulting when people because I look a
lot like my dad, when my dad's around people, they
think it's me. All thought that was him. I thought
that was your son. And so that's a little bit
insulting because then because I'm thirty five years old.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
And your dad's seventies, my dad, my dad's seventies. You know,
oh god, you know what, maybe it's time for some
I cream and some just for men for your hair, sir.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
I need, I need all of it.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Maybe, so maybe maybe that's maybe that's what you're just
wear a football helmet everywhere you go. I don't know.
This is probably not good. What if somebody told you,
as a man that you look like your mom? Would
that insult you?
Speaker 3 (06:02):
So as a man looking like my mom, it would
insult me a little bit, because you know, I don't
personally I don't like my mom's features. I love my mom, you.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Know, but but you don't like I love my mom.
But oh she is an unpleasant looking woman.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Oh no, he's not.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
He's just saying.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
God, well, let me ask you this.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
I'm sure you are. Here's the thing, though, if your
mom this morning, I certainly hope she is not. If
your mom, though, is old enough, you know, she's in
the same age range as your dad, around seventy. She's
you know, gotten to that point where she's starting to
grow facial hair, so you know, maybe she uh, you know,
somebody says you look like her, it's not that insulting exactly.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
She actually recently asked me to get her one of
them like them, uh motorized razors, And I was like, man.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Uh huh, okay, I think probably we should wrap it up.
We I don't before we cause any more damage between
you and your mom. I mean we've we've done visually
a pleasant, and now she's shaving her face with a razor.
This is this is just going downhill. Thanks for the call, buddy,
I appreciate it. Mom's a werewolf, right, Yeah, that's okay?
Speaker 3 (07:22):
All right?
Speaker 5 (07:23):
What are you sing that I got my Internet back?
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Personally, I do take offense, but that's only because my
dad is a large bearded man, and I do not
believe I look like a large bearded man.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Yeah, I get that. I think if I'm this woman
and somebody says you look just like your dad and
he's a large bearded man, I think I would say,
how so right, because you know, maybe they'll drill down
on it. Then maybe they'll say, oh, you have his
eyes or you know, his broad shoulders, Yeah, you know
something like that.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
I just maybe they'll give you some reason.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
It's call aflower ear. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Right. Have you been repeatedly punched in the head? Oh gosh,
please continue?
Speaker 5 (08:06):
This one's funny.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
If you're Maya Lesnar, then yes, that's the daughter of
Brock Lesner.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
Okay, well, yeah that would be something.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
You know what I used to say, Brooke Hogan looks
like Paul Cogan in a wig. I mean, I've seen
a lot of women whose yeah, yeah, that's exactly right.
All right, Well, look I see calls coming in. You
are on the Jack and Nikki show, thoughts, So.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
First time call her here. My my sister was an
actress and she was in a play with this guy
that had a crush on her. And backstage after the
first seage, she said, I'm so excited my parents are here.
And the guy who was into my sister, he said, oh,
how can I find them? And she said, all people say,
(08:53):
my dad looks just like me. And the guy who
was very interested in aiding my sister said, oh, your
dad must be really.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
And then.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
Line uh and it was pretty much over from there.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
For that, and that was the end of it.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
That was the end of it.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
That is unfortunate, all rightunate, Well, thank you for that
charming story. Sorry than you. I like that we give
people not only the opportunity to call in on the
show and offer their opinions, but we give people the
opportunity to call in and do their old von.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
The Nerve Center of North Central West Virginia, Jack Loger
and Nikki Drake on one O two w v a Q.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Let's talk about the kids now, Mistakes can be made,
things can happen, and parenting can be let's say, terrible,
unorthodox and totally irresponsible.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
I'm the worst.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Parent ever responsible irresponsible individuals is clearly irresponsible.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
First thing you can do as a parent.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
You must stak were the worst parents in the world. Okay,
this is another one of those situations where we're gonna
need to hear from parents because, for the life of me,
I cannot figure out how this is possible.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
I can't either.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Run through so many scenarios in my mind. I don't
know how a kid gets out the door at the
house with no pants on, but it happened, and thankfully
the teacher who caught it ran to the internet to
tell us all about it.
Speaker 7 (10:32):
I had a student come to school with no pants on,
just underwear, just underwear. First grader, poor thing, got on
the bus, no pants, no panther on. Came to school,
realized he had no pants, was extremely embarrassed, came up
to the office, so I called I put pants on him,
and then I called his mom and I was like, hey,
(10:54):
just to heads that your son had no no pants
on today when he came to school on the bus,
didn't have pants, and she was like so embarrassed as
any mom, any good mom would be. And she I
told her like, hey, I thought pants on him, He's
good to go, Like when he's home, he's gonna have
a different pair of pants on. She was so embarrassed
she came to school and brought him his own pair
(11:16):
of pants. How nice, good, Oh, it's just those are
the things that make my job, Hili, are you okay?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
There are many things here.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
How was he let on the bus and when he
didn't have pants on?
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (11:28):
How the bus driver allowed that?
Speaker 1 (11:29):
What happened?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Let's run through this good question? So question number one? Yeah,
how did he leave the house without his mom noticing
he has no pants on? Number two? How does he
get on the bus without the bus driver going, hey, there, fella,
you don't have any pants on? Yeah? Okay? Then he
gets to school. Here's a question I have. She said,
if you listen to that carefully, that he came to
school and then he realized that he had no pants on.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Right, okay, So the kids on the bus also didn't
tease him for not having pants on exactly because I'm sorry,
have you ever ridden a school bus?
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Well, sure. I mean, you can't expect kids to not
say something if one of the kids gets on with
no pants, right, So he gets to school and then
he looks down and he goes, you know, there's something's
different today. I feel kind of like some wind on
my legs. What's different?
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (12:19):
I think I'm supposed to have pants on? Yeah, this
is bewildered, it is.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
Yeah, at least somebody would have commented about like the
teenage mutant ninja turtled underwear or something, right, like I'm
assuming allegedly I don't know what.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Characters so many, so many places he had to go,
people he had to see. Yeah, okay, parents, please please
explain this. Is there any way? Is there any way
possible that this could happen and there's not something wrong
(12:52):
at home? I mean there's not. I don't know. I mean,
I don't want to necessarily be smirched this mom and
say that she's a bad mom, because I don't know that.
I guess, you know, you can get through the cracks.
My question is is not so much that that the
if the mom is bad, It's more how is this possible?
(13:14):
How is this? How do you get all the way
to school? As we just said, go through all of
those people, and and then it gets discovered. Okay, eight
eight eight seven seven seven sixty six forty you can
call her text that. You can also text us at
three five sixty five one. Somebody in the parenting community,
give us your best guess at how this happens. I
(13:35):
just want to know. I'm curious. Jack and Nikki working
on a parenting mystery. How does a boy in first
grade get all the way to school with no pants
on and no one notices until he's at school. Not
the parents, not the bus driver, not the other kids
(13:56):
on the bus, not the kids in the school. No
one figures it out until some teacher just happens to notice, Hey,
this kid doesn't have any pants on, and she calls
the mom and says, your kid doesn't have pants and
then of course immediately goes to the internet to make
fun of the situation. And thank god she did, because
otherwise we wouldn't know anything about it. We are getting
(14:17):
some reaction here on the text lines, people tossing out
some theories. The most prominent theory is he was wearing
boxers and it just kind of gave the appearance of
shorts and nobody caught it right.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Somebody said, there's no explanation other than it had to
be the dad who got him on the bus and
the kid had boxers on he didn't notice.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Well, okay, good opportunity for some missandury in there. So
cheers to that. Don't really get a lot of mail
bashing in the media. But the way I read that
was not just that the boy had boxers on, but
also the dad.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
Yeah, oh maybe that's like just how they are. They
just wear boxers.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
And I my hand to God, my hand to God.
I read that and my first thought was dad's in boxers.
He goes down to get on the bus with the kid,
put the kid on the bus. When he looks down
and sees boxers on the kid, he looks over it
himself and sees he's wearing boxers, and he goes, yeah,
it looks fine to me.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Yeah right. The kid just wants to be like his dad, Ye, yeah,
his hero. He wants to dress up like dad.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Yeah right. And the dad's proud. He's like, we're wearing
matching under rus. What's the problem.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
I like your your interpretation better, Jack, Thank you for that.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
What makes it even better? As I got all defensive
about malmastering, and then I piled on take that Dad.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
The Jack and Niki Show, WVQ.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
It's time now for something a little different. It's the
All New Jack and Nicki Mysteries. Oh yeah, yeah, that's right.
We're going to debut it now and then of course
you can catch it Saturday mornings at ten o'clock on ABC,
The All New Jack and Nicky Mysteries. I wanted to
ask you guys a question here because we talk about
(16:02):
scams on the show once in a while that are
going around, and it's usually you know, people calling the
house and saying they're with the police and they're going
to arrest you if you don't give them your credit
card number to pay a ticket, or you know some nonsense.
Something weird kind of happened at the house the other day,
Well it actually happened. It didn't kind of happen. Something
happened that was kind of weird. Hey, we got the
(16:24):
mail and discovered an empty package with the return address
Amy from Chicago. Okay, that's it, just Amy, and then
an address in Chicago. It was addressed to Jessica. There's
(16:45):
nothing in this. It's completely it's completely empty, and it's
it's just like a it's like a slip. It's like
a it's not it's bigger than an envelope. It's like,
you know, plastic, and you tear it open and you
look and you go, well, there's nothing in here at all.
And it had a QR code on the front of
the package, and so right away I'm suspicious. Yeah, right,
(17:09):
And Jessica came in and showed it to me and
she was like, what, I have no idea what this is.
I said, I don't know what it is either, But
what I do know is, let's not scan that QR code. Right,
So I'm just curious. Is anybody else getting anything like
this empty package with a QR code on it? And
then just I don't know, maybe it's always Amy from Cago,
(17:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
I don't know, but that's interesting.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
I'm tossing it out here eight eight eight seven seven
seven sixty six forty the studio line. You can also
text us at that number. You can text us at
three five sixty five to one. What are your thoughts here, Nicki.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Drake, that is concerning It's definitely it's got to be
some sort of scam.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
Potentially.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Keep in mind, we didn't order anything from Amy in
Chicago or from anywhere in Chicago.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
Yeah right, Etsy store orders or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Not from there.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
Yeah, I don't know that is concerning.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
I wonder if it's trying to figure out if somebody's
gonna send it back, you know, like.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Seeing right, is it a phishing thing?
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Is right?
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Because like you said, sometimes you'll get emails, you'll get
texts and things where they're just trying to get you
to respond because they want to verify that that's still
a working number.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
The QR was that just like separate from a shipping label?
Was that separate thing?
Speaker 2 (18:27):
It was?
Speaker 5 (18:28):
It wasn't okay? Yeah, see, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
That it was separate.
Speaker 5 (18:30):
I don't like that at all.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Something is not right here. And again for people who
are not savvy, you you maybe could fall for that
because again that we have you know, people calling like, uh,
just give you my credit card number here because apparently
I will Oh some told money that I wasn't aware of.
So here's my number. So yeah, all right, So I'm
just again I'm throwing this out there. I won'er if
(18:52):
anybody else has experienced this, you haven't had this show
up yet, I've not seen anything like this. This is
a new one, all right. Now, while talking about scams,
here's another story that we stumbled upon this morning. Apparently
there are restaurants that charge extra if you were eating
there by yourself because they consider it quiet time, and
(19:14):
there's a surcharge because you've been there and enjoyed the
peace and quiet. So there's an extra fee.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
For that because you're just there by yourself, because you
have so much control over who else is walking into
that restaurant.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Well, there's a story out of the New York Post
about somebody who they wish to remain anonymous. They don't
want any trouble, but they went to this restaurant, they
got their bill. There was a twenty percent fee added
to the bill as a quiet time surcharge because the
restaurant was empty when they were there, and so that
is a bonus to them. That's a benefit that they
(19:46):
otherwise wouldn't have had. So they're like, hey, if you
come in, place is busy, there's a lot of chatter,
that's normal. But if you come in and no one
is here, now you have the place all to yourself
and it's peace and quiet you need to pay extra
for that is amazing.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
But you're not even calling ahead to reserve that. You're
just walking in and there's nobody else.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
There, right, Like, what so you pay extra?
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Now?
Speaker 5 (20:09):
That makes no sense.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Here's the thing. When I go into a restaurant and
it's completely empty and I go in and sit down,
I always think that I'm helping them. I always think, Hey,
because I'm here eating, they're making money right now that
they wouldn't be making if I hadn't come in.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Right, I'm like, they're running a restaurant. I hailed right,
the very notion that you would be charged extra for that?
Should we put that told about it up front?
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Either?
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Should we put that in a scam column?
Speaker 5 (20:38):
That's a scam?
Speaker 2 (20:39):
That's a scam? Tib absolutely all Right, then, well, I
think we're making some kind of progress here. We've identified
at least one scam maybe too. You guys, let me
know if you're seeing this package show up with QR code.
We are doing some slew thing right now. We're learning things,
you guys, things that we need to know, things that
(21:01):
will protect us from the scammers. Okay, so I was
talking about getting a package an empty package at the
house the other day, just showed up with nothing in
it but a QR code on the front that we
did not scan, and we think maybe some kind of
phishing thing whatever.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
By the way, you can report that to the FTC.
It's Report fraud dot FTC dot gov.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
That'll teach Amy in Chicago. Yeah, rip off my family ce. Yeah,
think again, Amy, It's not gonna go down like that
crazy satch. All right, what are we seeing on the
text line here?
Speaker 5 (21:38):
All right? We got a furnace part cheap like that.
Checked it out.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
It was a scam, so I guess they received just
an unknown package with a furnace part in it.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Oh wow, Hey, here's a complimentary part for your furnace. Right,
may or may not fit the model that you have,
may or.
Speaker 5 (21:54):
May not explode when installed.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Yeah, yeah, aim away from face right. Okay.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
My grandma ordered something for my son. It was about
two hundred dollars from a Facebook ad. They sent her
an empty box just to have a shipping label and
kept her money. She couldn't get a hold of anybody
to get her money back.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
Yi Oh.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
You know what. That's the thing that's so frustrating is
when there's no phone number, there's no address. You can't
get a hold of anybody. There's nobody that you can
talk to. Yes, you have these transactions. If they go
south on you, you're just stuck.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
You're just out. Yeah, it's unfortunate.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
It really is unfortunate. Okay, you got one about a
restaurant here, I believe.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
Yeah, local restaurants took our card for us to pay
the bill charged.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
Us a convenience fee. We could have.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
Taken it to the register ourselves and not be charged
convenience fee.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Oh wow, Okay, let me make sure I'm understanding this.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
That's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
You paid with a card and they charged you a
fee to take the card from your table to the register.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
Yeah, a convenience convenience fee.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yeah, it saved you about eight steps, So for that
you're gonna have to pay. That's amazing. You know what,
there's there's so much weasling that goes on. Yeah, and
a lot of people probably don't even catch that, right, right.
They probably do that all the time to people who
don't even notice the convenience fee, and then they rack
(23:22):
up some money that way. You know, it's a volume business. Nikki,
you got to you gotta rip off a lot of
people to finally get where you want. This is the
part of the show where we go to the text
line and we feeled a question from you because.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
You you asked for it.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Now you're gonna get it. See, you asked for it.
We will turn the show over to you and your troubles,
your questions, your issues in your life. We will discuss
amongst ourselves, and of course we will air your dirty
laundry in front of everyone else and invite public comment
at eight eight eight seven seven seven sixty six forty
(24:06):
call or text that number. You can also text us
at three five sixty five one. Nikki Drake, please share
the text all right.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
For the last month, I've been having a hot email
and text relationship with someone who I thought was my soulmate.
I met her at a work function in Pittsburgh two
days ago. I found out she's married. She says she's
leaving her husband, but she needs more time.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
Should I believe her or not? Do married people ever
leave their failing marriages?
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (24:36):
My, I well, this is a disaster from one end
to the other.
Speaker 5 (24:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Really sorry, I'm laughing at you text her, Yeah, Nikki,
don't laugh at the Texters Okay, says she's leaving her
husband but needs more time. Should I believe her or not? Okay?
Speaker 5 (24:53):
Flag red flag?
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Yeah, let me toss out this question to you. Why
would you want her to why would you want her
to leave your.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Well, if he thinks, yeah, she's not, Look, this is
just not a good situation.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
It's not anytime you're involved with somebody who's married and
you're waiting on them to leave their spouse, you have
to look down the road a little bit and ask
the question, is this the type of person that I
would want to be married to? Now? Fool around with
is one thing, Mary is another. Yeah, okay, Now you
(25:34):
shouldn't even be fooling around with them because they're married.
If they don't respect their marital vows, you should Okay.
So there's two lines of defense there. They have enough
respect for their spouse to be faithful to them, and
if they don't, then you say, I don't mess around
with married people. Okay, So that's a two tiered system there.
But we've already broken all of that. However, apparently, unknowingly
(25:56):
on your part, to be fair to the Texter, didn't
know that this person was married.
Speaker 5 (26:00):
Right, that's a huge red flag.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Yeah, so that's not really on you because you were unaware.
But now you are aware, and what you should do
is pull a home or something and step backward through
the hedge and disappear into your own yard. Yes, because
this is not somebody that you want to take a
gamble on marrying.
Speaker 5 (26:18):
Now.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
I know that there are probably people listening right now, going,
wait a minute, My thirty year marriage started with her
cheating on her husband with me, and we've been happy
ever since that happens. It's possible.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
Sure, it's possible, but possible.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
But you play the odds. Yeah, you play the odds.
Generally speaking. The saying if they'll cheat with you, they'll
cheat on you, yes, generally speaking is true.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Yeah, so sir, I would say that you consider yourself
fortunate that you found out now and you get out
of it. Yeah, that would be my advice to you.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Yeah, because I mean it's been only a month at least,
you know, like according to the text, it's just been
a month. So like you're lucky you're not a year
or two into this and now you're finding out and yeah,
she needs more time. No, No, that's just stalling. Yeah,
it's a stalling tactic, like, don't believe it. Yeah, she's
(27:16):
not leaving.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
She's probably not.
Speaker 5 (27:18):
I just want to help you text her.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
I don't want to be I'm not trying to be
like mean, I'm just trying to.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Be honest and be fair. But how about this what
you just said? Right, So she's either stalling mm hmm,
which is bad for him if he wants to be
with her, or she will leave the husband and be
with him, which is also bad for him because that's
going to be a disaster down the road. This is
lose lose. The only way this guy wins is to
stop this and get away. Yeah, yeah, that's the only
(27:45):
winning in this.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
The text line is chiming in and this one all
caps run.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
For the hell.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
Right.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Yeah, but look.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
Here's another good point. If they're willing to lie about
a marriage, what else are they willing.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
To lie to you about?
Speaker 2 (28:01):
You got it?
Speaker 5 (28:02):
You're only a month in.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
It's just been a month.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Yeah. You know what I think probably has prompted this
is a loneliness. Lonely people make bad decisions. You know,
he's probably been alone for a while and he wants
somebody and yeah, he's just like hot Digity. I found
the girl of my dreams. Oh wait, what's that She
already has a husband.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
Well ever like that.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
