If you're listening to the Jack and Nikki 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):
It's Jack and Nikki with open studio and textual lines
for you as we discuss when love dies. Oh, it's
so great in the beginning, such wonderful euphoria, the excitement
you long to be with each other. And then you
(00:38):
get to know each other, and turns out one of you,
or possibly both of you, are scumbags, and the whole
thing falls apart, and everybody's unhappy and lashing out trying
to take revenge. It's terrific. Let's begin with the story
of a woman who wishes to remain anonymous, but retaliated
(01:02):
against her cheating ex boyfriend who continued to use her
Netflix account after they broke up, so she changed her
profile name to cheater in all caps and set it
to toddler mode with only Pepa pig. He replied, seriously,
question mark. She then changed her password and blocked him.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Sure, but you have to wait until he sees it,
tries to log in and see it first.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Then Yeah, you changed the password?
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Am I the only one who thinks it's audacious that
this man would cheat on her? They would split up,
and then he would keep trying to use her Netflix account?
Speaker 5 (01:43):
Right?
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Shouldn't he stop on his own?
Speaker 5 (01:45):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Shouldn't he be? Like I wronged her? The relationship ended
because of me. I cheated.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Yeah, I should probably not log into these streaming services anymore.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
I did bad. I'm going to stop trying to save
a few bucks by, you know, riding on her account.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Yeah, I mean, just he.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Should he should walk away from that.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
But we already know he's a scumbag, so he's going
to continue his scumbaggery.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Yep, that's right. Some scumbag's gonna scum. That's how it works. Okay,
So that is that's the first story here. And then
I saw this and it reminded me of something that
I saw on Facebook the other day. And I'm wondering
about the wisdom of trashing people on social media. Okay,
I don't know how wise this is. So this woman
(02:32):
and again this I saw this firsthand. She dated a
guy for six months, it didn't go well, they split up,
and then she trashed him, and I mean trashed him
hard on Facebook. You know, he's a liar, he's a cheater,
he's garbage, and of course, you know, narcissists, because that's
kind of the go to. Now, she didn't just trash him.
(02:53):
She posted a colaja photos of this man, including a
screenshot of his page, so everybody knows where to go
after him. And then she tagged his employer in the
post and shamed them for hiring him. Wow, how dare
you hire a man who would treat me poorly? Sure
(03:13):
he's going to ruin your company. Now I'm looking at that,
and I thought, I don't know what happened between the
two of you, and everything you're saying may very well
be true. Mm hmm, but I don't think this is
a good look on you to go on and do
something like that.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Right, that's what? Okay? So I saw a similar post,
if not the same one.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Yeah, and I was curious.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
I was like, well, now I need to know what happened.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
But I didn't care enough to go digging or to
keep tabs on it, so I lost the post. But yeah,
I this was very strange, especially to tag the employer.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Yeah, see that's where I'm going. I thought, this is
a lot. This is a whole lot. And you know,
her relationship with him is probably not the same relationship
he has with other people. Everybody has different relationships, family, friends, employers.
And to say that he's going to be a bad
employee and he's going to destroy this company because he,
you know, didn't get along with you, I mean, that's
(04:10):
a bit much unless there was.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Like some sort of relationship espionage and going on, and
maybe he drained all of her accounts and now he's
going to go do the same at his job.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Who knows. Maybe well there's there's a movie for you.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Well sure, yeah, but maybe just because he robbed her.
And again this is wild speculation. Doesn't mean he's gonna
rob the slur. But to me, I would be first
of all, I would never do something like that because
I keep, you know, things private. I mean, this concept
of dignity, you know, but this is kind of right
on the line of defamation. This kind of tiptoes into
libel territory. I mean, if you are actively trying to
(04:45):
get him fired, yeah, you're you're you're destroying his reputation
in a public setting and actively trying to cause financial
harm to him. Yeah, you're really pushing it bright. Yeah,
that's a yeah, yeah, that's not good. So I'm just
what do you guys think about this? I mean, have
(05:08):
you seen this? Have you done it? Have you had
it done to you? Please call if you've had it
done to you eight eight eight seven seven seven sixty
six more, you could call us. You can text us
at that number. You can also text us at three
five sixty five one. Let's talk about the wisdom of
trashing people on Facebook? I mean, is it is it
really a good idea? The question was that wise should
(05:33):
you have done that? Nicky and I were talking about
a post that apparently she and I both saw where
this woman trashed her ex, said all kinds of horrible
things about him, provided photos of this guy. He had
a screenshot of his Facebook page that you could go
find him, tagged his employer in the post and told
(05:55):
them that basically, you know, they, hey, nice job hiring
this guy. Yeah, you know, tried to shame them for
hiring him. And so we're just asking the question, is
this is this really a good idea to do this?
Because it doesn't seem like a good idea. It seems
like you're kind of tiptoeing on that defamation line and
(06:17):
maybe waiting into libel territory. Studio text lines are open
eight eight eight seven seven seven sixty six forty and
call that she can text us and also text us
at three five sixty five one. And we are getting
some reaction here from you guys on the text line
talking about defamation on social media. So the statement must
(06:39):
be untrue but also presented as a fact and not
an opinion.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Yes, okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
So I'm sure she could argue, well, this was my
experience with him, but at no point did she say,
in my opinion this, in my opinion that she's just
like he's trash, right, So that okay. Also, there has
to be harm to the person's reputation. It's something that
has to cause reputational harm and emotional distress. And I
(07:12):
would suggest to you that if you have said horrible
things about your ex and tagged their employer on social
media with these horrible things, that's going to cause them
emotional distress, that's yes, yeah, and possibly financial damage because
they could end up getting fired over it. Yeah, okay,
(07:33):
So I think that you know, you really walk in
the line there, and the other thing is you know,
do you want to open yourself up to a lawsuit.
I mean, even if you can defend what you've done
and somehow, you know, get through it, you're still going
to have to pay an attorney, You're going to have
to fight, You're gonna have to go to court over it.
It's going to cost you all kinds of money to
(07:54):
defend against.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
It, right Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
So maybe you know, if you break up with somebody,
instead of going on social media and dragging them through
the mud and trying to get them fired, maybe you
just don't.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Right, Yeah, because if you had enough evidence to support
how they wronged you, I mean, wouldn't that be a
different lawsuit, different kind of lawsuit, Like there may be
something you'd be able to kind of civil.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Lawsuit, like if they screwed you over with some rent
situations or something like that. Yeah yeah, maybe so.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Yeah, such a horrible person.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Yeah, but somebody just lies to you, or they cheat
on you or something. I mean, I don't I don't
really think that you're entitled compensation. I don't know. I mean, again,
this is the legality of it, but I would also
suggest I just don't think it's a good look on you.
When you do that, because think about this, think about
anybody who might consider dating you in the future, ohbody
(08:49):
who hasn't met you, And you meet and things go well,
and they look you up on social media as you
do sure see what your footprints like on there, and
they see that you've done stuff like this with your exes.
If you had any sense when you go oooh hey, yeah,
red Flag don't want to get involved in us, right.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
That is very true?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yeah, yeah, I look, I don't think you could ever
go wrong taking the high road. And I don't know
anybody who has ever regretted taking the high road. I
don't know anybody who's ever said things didn't work out.
And I kept it classy, and yeah, I kept in
my opinions but private, I didn't go after them. And
and I've always regretted that. I really wish that I
(09:28):
had just done some terrible, unspeakable things.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
That Jack and Nikki show on wv AQ time.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Now for a tutorial, I like to call how to
use the fast food lane at a drive through restaurant.
That's right, because apparently some people don't know how to
use the drive through at let's say McDonald's or Wendy's.
It seems pretty obvious. You pull up, you order your food, yeah,
(09:57):
and then you drive around and you pick up that food.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
If that food is not ready, they will sometimes say, hey,
can you pull up and then we'll bring your food
out to you. Yeah, okay. When that happens, it's important
that you pull up far enough to let the other
people out after they pick up their order.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Yeah, so you just pull up half of a car distance,
You pull at least one car length away, so that
the other people behind you can pick up their order
and pull around you.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Right.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Yeah, you got to clear the window, plus a little
bit of space.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Yeah, and sometimes there's designated spaces for you to go sometimes.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Yeah, that's exactly right. But what happens when a person,
let's say, is not capable of measuring the length of
an average vehicle properly, or they just do not understand
the concept of pulling up, well, you have a backup
situation that results in profanity being screamed and sometimes wild
(10:57):
upper torso gesturing.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
Wild upper torso gesturing.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
You don't say, oh but I do, Nikki Drake, oh
but I do. So here's what happened. Oh boy, Yeah,
Jessica and I were going through the drive through at
a McDonald's and this is what was over the weekend.
And so we pull up in my truck and trying
(11:26):
to get my food and get my food, and I
can't pull out because there is a car in front
of me and there is a vehicle behind me. So
I'm wedged, and I see what's happening to be yeah,
wedged is not good. And I see what's happening here,
and I say to the person working the drive through window,
(11:49):
do you think you can get them to pull up
a little bit more. I mean, they're obviously you told
them to pull up and wait for their food, correct, Yeah,
they're waiting for their food. Okay, Well I can't get out.
And they say, yeah, I see that.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
I mean at least they're acknowledging it and not just
like yeah, being like come on, you gotta go. Yeah, right,
and keep in mind their cars piling up behind me.
So so they say to me, give them a little
toot on the horn and see if you can, you know,
move them along a little bit, right. So I said,
I think I know how this is going to turn out.
But okay, so I just do a friendly peep peep,
(12:21):
like that right, because you don't you lay on the horn.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
That's aggressive.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
So it's just a couple of peep peep and the
woman in the car driving I see her look in
a review mirror and she starts throwing her hands around.
She's angry, throwing her hands around. She's looking at me,
and so I look back at the guy working to
drive through, and I say, okay.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
This isn't going well.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Can you just ask them to move up a little bit?
And he says, well, you try it again.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
What you don't try it again?
Speaker 2 (12:52):
So I said, they're getting they're getting angry, can you please?
And he said, just just try it again. So I said,
all right, like that, here comes the finger. Oh, here
comes the finger out the window at me. And I'm like, okay,
how do you not understand that? Because you're just not
pulled up far enough. If you'll go another five or
six feet, I'll pull out. And then keep in mind
(13:15):
there's a car behind me, and then behind that car
somebody and they've already paid, and then behind that is
another car, and then another car. So that's like four cars.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Not only that, that's what you see on the outside
on the inside.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
They have alarms going.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Off, being like, you aren't moving these people fast enough,
get these meals out of here.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
You're over your time limit.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
That's exactly right. Yeah, yeah, that's what's going on. And
this is all because she will not move up five
or six feet, and honestly, she had two car lengths
in front of her that were available. So we just
sat there. We just sat and waited. And so we're
sitting there. The people behind us are sitting there, and
(13:56):
then eventually here comes somebody with a bag of food
and go to her car and hand her the food,
and she takes her food and drives off and gives
me the finger one more time on her way out. Now,
I says to Jessica, I says, here's the problem. This
person didn't learn anything, because somebody at the restaurant, in
my opinion, should have come out and said, ma'am, you
(14:19):
haven't moved up far enough. You need you to scooch
up into further your more feet and let the cars around. Okay,
if that had happened, then maybe the next time they
would be a little more aware of where the car
is and they would move it up a little bit further.
But the fact that nobody said anything, and this person,
by the time they pulled out, the line was all
the way around the restaurant. So now there's like seven
(14:40):
or eight cars waiting because this one person won't put
it in drive and move four or five feet. They
have learned nothing, and they'll continue to do.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
It right because somebody should have gone out.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
I think, so, yeah, I agree with you.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Yeah, because it's not like you're saying, hey, there's a
problem with your org. There's nothing to set them further
other than hey, would you mind?
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Could you still working on your food? But these people
need to pull around you?
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Yeah? Could you move up four feet and please stop
flipping off this guy behind you? Okay, Well, there you go.
There's your there's your tutorial in the does and do
not do's a fast food drive through restaurants. What do
you think here, triple eight, triple seven, sixty six forty
have you had to deal with this? Surely? To God,
and by the way, I know it sounds petty and ridiculous.
(15:29):
It was incredibly frustrating. Oh, it was really really frustrating. Absolutely.
It wasn't just the getting flipped off part, which nobody likes.
It was just the stupidity of it, that's what bothered you.
I was like, this is so incredibly stupid. Let's go
to the text line now and see what kind of
reactions we're getting, Nicki Drake, what.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Can you tell us text number one?
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Meanwhile, somewhere in the listening area, a woman is hitting
her forehead and saying, that's what that crazy person was
beeping for.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
I hope it damned on them. I bet it. And
even if they were listening, I think they're so out
of it that they don't even they didn't need an
ext room.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Yeah right, they don't care.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
They don't. I don't, I don't know, won't if.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
You weren't uh right, wait, hold.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
On, she's lost her way.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Oh I would have locked my truck in four by
four low Low deployed poll noodles on my brush guard
and slowly pushed her past her.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Yeah yeah, that's one. Having the guard with the pool
noodles around comes in handy.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Yeah, yeah, you know it is.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
It is tempting sometimes when people treat you like that
to go.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
If you won't move, let's play monster trucks. You've got one.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
I'm gonna move. Yeah yeah, but you can't not in
any type of polite, civilized society, you know, turn into chaos.
It would, Yeah, you can't do that.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
I've managed a restaurant. I'd have been out there confronting her.
That's ridiculous. If I'd seen her flip you off, I'd
even have asked to please stop confronting other customers for
wanting her to do.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
The right thing.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
I'd I have a confront Wait, you don't have to
say that word for me.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Confrontational, A confrontationally.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Occationally, thank you, it's a big word. I had a
confrontationally polite way about me.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
One time, a customer insisted on a remake, but wanted
us to bring it to them.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
When I said we couldn't do that, they threatened to
come fight me.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Of course, I was like, well, sir, that's up to you,
but if you're coming in any way, we'll get started
on your remake.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Make You know, what is it about fast food restaurants
that causes so much anger when people go there. I
don't understand it. The food, let's be honest, is delicious.
Sure it is, Okay, it's really delicious, and it's prepared
for you quickly. Even if there's a delay. It's a
(17:58):
lot faster than going to other restaurants. Why are people
so angry when they go to get fast food?
Speaker 4 (18:05):
A hypothesis?
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Okay, yeah, okay, so we've had the studies where fast
food is addicting, right, so I'm wondering if whatever makes
it addicting also makes you angry.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Oh wow, Like is it part of that fast food
addiction or is there something in the oil?
Speaker 2 (18:22):
I don't know how about this while we're throwing around
our hypotheses.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Maybe it's like somebody who's getting ready to take a
drug and they're jonesing for it and there's a delay
in getting the drug and it causes them to flip
out and just become furious.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
Yeah, this is part of, yes, part of the addiction.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Yeah, so whatever's in the stuff that makes it addicting makes.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
You go crazy when there's a delay getting it?
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Yes, right, get the withdrawal.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Okay, Well that may or may not be, or possibly
we're idiots. But my point is this, just looking at
this text that came in, can you imagine when they say, okay,
if your orders messed up, remake it, and they threatened
to come in and punch you in the face. Yeah,
what is what is happening in your life when somebody's like, well,
(19:10):
you know, we're gonna have to remake your sandwich? What
you have to remake it?
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:13):
All that's it. I'm gonna okay, all right, Well, thank
you Texter for the support and all of the support
I've received. That makes me feel just a little bit
better about being flipped off.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
The area's number one rated morning show, Let's Go, Let's Go,
Jack and.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Nikki one two w v AQ. Let's get awkward up
in here. Yes, that's right. It's the story of a
man who was asked a question by his wife and
he answered that question in a most unexpected way. Some
say he was joking. Others say, no, no, he was
(19:54):
actually being honest. And you know, it's one of the
situations where maybe you can be honest and it looks
like a joke to somebody and they take it as
a joke, but you really mean it.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Here is the question and the answer as it was posed.
Check it out.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
When did you know that I was the one?
Speaker 2 (20:19):
When did I know that you were the one?
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (20:21):
I was the one and only the one.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
You spent your life with the love of your life,
Like when When was that moment?
Speaker 4 (20:29):
When did you know?
Speaker 3 (20:32):
I'd have to say, when your.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Roommate dumped me? He knew she was the one when
her roommate dumped him. He was dating the roommate that
didn't work out, so she was planned b sure, So
there's only one thing left for her to do now
you guessed it. Go to social media and trash him
well and tag his employer and part that'll learn him
(20:55):
to be honest. Right, yeah, let's I think you the
guy joking around. It seems like he's joking around, But
what if he's not. Let's let's take that angle. Let's
let's try that one out for size.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
If he's not joking.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
What if he's not joking. What if he was dating
her friend and he was in love with her friend
and that didn't work out, and so then he ends
up marrying her. This is an uncomfortable situation. Very yeah,
And I think people do find this out after they
(21:29):
get married. That does happen. There are people who find out.
You know, we've had this conversation. It's been a long
time since we've talked about this. But if if you
marry the love of your life, great, good for you.
That's that's good. That's nice for you. Yeah, that's a
nice thing. As long as you are also the love
of their life. This is where you run into a problem,
(21:55):
right So yeah, yeah, So if you marry, let's I'm
just going to use you and Dave as an example. Okay,
let's say Dave is the love of your life. M
hm okay, and you think that you're the love of
his life and then you find out no, no, you're
actually miscongeniality. Oh yeah, you're the runner up.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Well he stuck with me, now, yeah, well.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Is he though? But you know what I mean, that's
that's a very painful thing to learn and to deal
with and to understand. And of course there is one
big clue, which we have revealed on the show in
the past, but it's summertime. We got a lot of
different people listening right now, and maybe it's time to
tell you what that clue is.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
What's the clue.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Somebody you're married to is really critical of you, oh
and hateful. Yeah, and they just seem to be annoyed
by everything about you. You're probably the runner.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
Up, yeah, yeah, probably.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Yeah, Because if somebody is married to the person they
think is the best person they could possibly get the
love of their life, the person that they would choo
choose over everyone else. You're not going to be nasty
to them. You're not going to be annoyed by them constantly.
I hate the way you breathe. I hate the way
you do everything. Everything about you makes me stick.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
You're you're so.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Stupid, you know, if you've got somebody, if you're married
to somebody, and they're very critical of you. Right, somebody
texted this in one time. Somebody texted in and said,
my wife says she hates the way I breathe. And
I thought, buddy, I don't want to tell you this. Yeah,
tell me you're not the love of her life without
telling me you're not the love of her life, right,
(23:32):
I mean, that's.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
That's a big, big clue.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
It is a very big clue. So I hope that
this doesn't ruin marriages all over the area. I mean,
I can imagine there're people listening right now. Go wait
a minute. My spouse is critical to me all the time,
all the time. I get criticized all the time.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Oh no, yeah, what happens next?
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Oh no, oh no, oh no, all right, studio text
lines are open? What do you guys think eight eight
eight seven, seven, seven sixty six forty and calls You
could text at that number in Texas at three five
sixty five to one, just out of curiosity, love of
your life? Are you married to the love of your life?
Did you take the runner up? Do they know they're
the runner up? Because it seems to me like if
(24:13):
you're settling, you don't usually tell the person. Like I said,
it usually comes out as just a lot of hatefulness
and bitter behavior because and this is what gets really
interesting and almost kind of funny about it. Somebody's really
nasty to you that you're married to. It's because you're
(24:33):
not the love of their life and you're now in
their way and they can't get to the love of
their life because they're married to you, right, So that's
why they're so nasty towards you, because you're in the way.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
You're in the way.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
You people are bud freaks. It's Jack and Nikki, it's
you guys on the studio and textual lines. As we
talk about the man who told his wife that the
minute he realized, the time it occurred to him that
she was the one was surprisingly the same time that
(25:08):
her friend broke up with him, so he's dating her friend,
doesn't work out, he goes and marries her.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
So we're talking about what happens when you are married
to the love of your life but you're the runner
up in their life, and it causes problems. It's an
imbalance in the relationship.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
You know.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
You look at your spouse and you're crazy about him, Yeah,
and you're like, this is fantastic. I'm just married to
my favorite person in the world, and they're looking at
you and they're going, gee, I wish it had worked
out with that other person. And because this is my
runner up. All right, so let's go to the studio
lines Triple eight, Triple seven, sixty six forty you were
on the Jack and Nikki show, which you got for us.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
Okay, right quick. I dated a gentleman years ago and
he was as sweet as he could but I could
tell he wasn't my type. So I introduced him to
my best friend and they ended up getting married. He
liked me, but I didn't like him. Uh oh no,
(26:14):
but they've been married for over thirty years.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Okay, so they were meant to be.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
Deal? Well, I mean it was this deal because he
finally found the match.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (26:24):
Well, I mean in our live I didn't like him
that well.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Yeah, Well, just because people are not married to the
love of their life doesn't mean they get a divorce.
There are a lot of people who are married to
their second choice or third choice. I mean that happens
all the time.
Speaker 5 (26:38):
Well I did so, but I thought about that when
I was listening to your show and I'm thinking he
was like infatuated with me, and I was like, you know,
after a couple of dates, I was like.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Oh no, no, no, wait no wait, so wait now
I have to ask you this. So after they got married,
did you continue to hang around with her and you
guys were friends and you were also around him?
Speaker 5 (27:03):
Yeah, because we were been best friends the fourth grade.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Okay, Well was that not weird for both you and
your friend when you were with this guy who was
infatuated with you and just thought you were the best
I mean, was that not weird?
Speaker 5 (27:17):
No, it wasn't weird because there I mean it was. Well,
see when I dated him, it was like old school.
You know, you court people, You're not just kissing them
on the first date or anything like that. M h.
It wasn't a situation. You know, we went out on
a couple of dates and from that and nothing happened,
(27:37):
no touchy feeling stuff. You know, it was just that
I figured out.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Yeah, no, I got you. I got you. I'm just
saying that if he's infatuated with you and you introduce
him to your friend and he ends up with her, okay,
well that doesn't mean it's infatuation with you goes away.
And also, is your friend aware that he was infatuated
with you? Did she know that he liked me?
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (28:02):
And so when when the three of you hung around,
nobody noticed that he was staring at you the whole time? Okay?
Speaker 5 (28:11):
Man I Faly was a little distance after they started
going out together.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Oh okay, yeah, she kept him clear. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
I wasn't around them looking at their courtship.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
You know, I understand. Listen, ma'am, you and I have
a lot in common. I have the same problem with
Jessica's friends. I am as I'm sure you know, dead
sexy and Jessica's friends, you know, they lust for me,
sometimes openly right in front of her, and then I
have to go Jessica, It's okay. You know, I'm not
gonna leave. I know these ladies are after me. You know,
I get it, I understand your situation.
If you're listening to the Jack and Nikki 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):
It's Jack and Nikki with open studio and textual lines
for you as we discuss when love dies. Oh, it's
so great in the beginning, such wonderful euphoria, the excitement
you long to be with each other. And then you
(00:38):
get to know each other, and turns out one of you,
or possibly both of you, are scumbags, and the whole
thing falls apart, and everybody's unhappy and lashing out trying
to take revenge. It's terrific. Let's begin with the story
of a woman who wishes to remain anonymous, but retaliated
(01:02):
against her cheating ex boyfriend who continued to use her
Netflix account after they broke up, so she changed her
profile name to cheater in all caps and set it
to toddler mode with only Pepa pig. He replied, seriously,
question mark. She then changed her password and blocked him.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Sure, but you have to wait until he sees it,
tries to log in and see it first.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Then Yeah, you changed the password?
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Am I the only one who thinks it's audacious that
this man would cheat on her? They would split up,
and then he would keep trying to use her Netflix account?
Speaker 5 (01:43):
Right?
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Shouldn't he stop on his own?
Speaker 5 (01:45):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Shouldn't he be? Like I wronged her? The relationship ended
because of me. I cheated.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Yeah, I should probably not log into these streaming services anymore.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
I did bad. I'm going to stop trying to save
a few bucks by, you know, riding on her account.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Yeah, I mean, just he.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Should he should walk away from that.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
But we already know he's a scumbag, so he's going
to continue his scumbaggery.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Yep, that's right. Some scumbag's gonna scum. That's how it works. Okay,
So that is that's the first story here. And then
I saw this and it reminded me of something that
I saw on Facebook the other day. And I'm wondering
about the wisdom of trashing people on social media. Okay,
I don't know how wise this is. So this woman
(02:32):
and again this I saw this firsthand. She dated a
guy for six months, it didn't go well, they split up,
and then she trashed him, and I mean trashed him
hard on Facebook. You know, he's a liar, he's a cheater,
he's garbage, and of course, you know, narcissists, because that's
kind of the go to. Now, she didn't just trash him.
(02:53):
She posted a colaja photos of this man, including a
screenshot of his page, so everybody knows where to go
after him. And then she tagged his employer in the
post and shamed them for hiring him. Wow, how dare
you hire a man who would treat me poorly? Sure
(03:13):
he's going to ruin your company. Now I'm looking at that,
and I thought, I don't know what happened between the
two of you, and everything you're saying may very well
be true. Mm hmm, but I don't think this is
a good look on you to go on and do
something like that.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Right, that's what? Okay? So I saw a similar post,
if not the same one.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Yeah, and I was curious.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
I was like, well, now I need to know what happened.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
But I didn't care enough to go digging or to
keep tabs on it, so I lost the post. But yeah,
I this was very strange, especially to tag the employer.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Yeah, see that's where I'm going. I thought, this is
a lot. This is a whole lot. And you know,
her relationship with him is probably not the same relationship
he has with other people. Everybody has different relationships, family, friends, employers.
And to say that he's going to be a bad
employee and he's going to destroy this company because he,
you know, didn't get along with you, I mean, that's
(04:10):
a bit much unless there was.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Like some sort of relationship espionage and going on, and
maybe he drained all of her accounts and now he's
going to go do the same at his job.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Who knows. Maybe well there's there's a movie for you.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Well sure, yeah, but maybe just because he robbed her.
And again this is wild speculation. Doesn't mean he's gonna
rob the slur. But to me, I would be first
of all, I would never do something like that because
I keep, you know, things private. I mean, this concept
of dignity, you know, but this is kind of right
on the line of defamation. This kind of tiptoes into
libel territory. I mean, if you are actively trying to
(04:45):
get him fired, yeah, you're you're you're destroying his reputation
in a public setting and actively trying to cause financial
harm to him. Yeah, you're really pushing it bright. Yeah,
that's a yeah, yeah, that's not good. So I'm just
what do you guys think about this? I mean, have
(05:08):
you seen this? Have you done it? Have you had
it done to you? Please call if you've had it
done to you eight eight eight seven seven seven sixty
six more, you could call us. You can text us
at that number. You can also text us at three
five sixty five one. Let's talk about the wisdom of
trashing people on Facebook? I mean, is it is it
really a good idea? The question was that wise should
(05:33):
you have done that? Nicky and I were talking about
a post that apparently she and I both saw where
this woman trashed her ex, said all kinds of horrible
things about him, provided photos of this guy. He had
a screenshot of his Facebook page that you could go
find him, tagged his employer in the post and told
(05:55):
them that basically, you know, they, hey, nice job hiring
this guy. Yeah, you know, tried to shame them for
hiring him. And so we're just asking the question, is
this is this really a good idea to do this?
Because it doesn't seem like a good idea. It seems
like you're kind of tiptoeing on that defamation line and
(06:17):
maybe waiting into libel territory. Studio text lines are open
eight eight eight seven seven seven sixty six forty and
call that she can text us and also text us
at three five sixty five one. And we are getting
some reaction here from you guys on the text line
talking about defamation on social media. So the statement must
(06:39):
be untrue but also presented as a fact and not
an opinion.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Yes, okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
So I'm sure she could argue, well, this was my
experience with him, but at no point did she say,
in my opinion this, in my opinion that she's just
like he's trash, right, So that okay. Also, there has
to be harm to the person's reputation. It's something that
has to cause reputational harm and emotional distress. And I
(07:12):
would suggest to you that if you have said horrible
things about your ex and tagged their employer on social
media with these horrible things, that's going to cause them
emotional distress, that's yes, yeah, and possibly financial damage because
they could end up getting fired over it. Yeah, okay,
(07:33):
So I think that you know, you really walk in
the line there, and the other thing is you know,
do you want to open yourself up to a lawsuit.
I mean, even if you can defend what you've done
and somehow, you know, get through it, you're still going
to have to pay an attorney, You're going to have
to fight, You're gonna have to go to court over it.
It's going to cost you all kinds of money to
(07:54):
defend against.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
It, right Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
So maybe you know, if you break up with somebody,
instead of going on social media and dragging them through
the mud and trying to get them fired, maybe you
just don't.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Right, Yeah, because if you had enough evidence to support
how they wronged you, I mean, wouldn't that be a
different lawsuit, different kind of lawsuit, Like there may be
something you'd be able to kind of civil.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Lawsuit, like if they screwed you over with some rent
situations or something like that. Yeah yeah, maybe so.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Yeah, such a horrible person.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Yeah, but somebody just lies to you, or they cheat
on you or something. I mean, I don't I don't
really think that you're entitled compensation. I don't know. I mean, again,
this is the legality of it, but I would also
suggest I just don't think it's a good look on you.
When you do that, because think about this, think about
anybody who might consider dating you in the future, ohbody
(08:49):
who hasn't met you, And you meet and things go well,
and they look you up on social media as you
do sure see what your footprints like on there, and
they see that you've done stuff like this with your exes.
If you had any sense when you go oooh hey, yeah,
red Flag don't want to get involved in us, right.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
That is very true?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yeah, yeah, I look, I don't think you could ever
go wrong taking the high road. And I don't know
anybody who has ever regretted taking the high road. I
don't know anybody who's ever said things didn't work out.
And I kept it classy, and yeah, I kept in
my opinions but private, I didn't go after them. And
and I've always regretted that. I really wish that I
(09:28):
had just done some terrible, unspeakable things.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
That Jack and Nikki show on wv AQ time.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Now for a tutorial, I like to call how to
use the fast food lane at a drive through restaurant.
That's right, because apparently some people don't know how to
use the drive through at let's say McDonald's or Wendy's.
It seems pretty obvious. You pull up, you order your food, yeah,
(09:57):
and then you drive around and you pick up that food.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
If that food is not ready, they will sometimes say, hey,
can you pull up and then we'll bring your food
out to you. Yeah, okay. When that happens, it's important
that you pull up far enough to let the other
people out after they pick up their order.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Yeah, so you just pull up half of a car distance,
You pull at least one car length away, so that
the other people behind you can pick up their order
and pull around you.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Right.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Yeah, you got to clear the window, plus a little
bit of space.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Yeah, and sometimes there's designated spaces for you to go sometimes.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Yeah, that's exactly right. But what happens when a person,
let's say, is not capable of measuring the length of
an average vehicle properly, or they just do not understand
the concept of pulling up, well, you have a backup
situation that results in profanity being screamed and sometimes wild
(10:57):
upper torso gesturing.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
Wild upper torso gesturing.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
You don't say, oh but I do, Nikki Drake, oh
but I do. So here's what happened. Oh boy, Yeah,
Jessica and I were going through the drive through at
a McDonald's and this is what was over the weekend.
And so we pull up in my truck and trying
(11:26):
to get my food and get my food, and I
can't pull out because there is a car in front
of me and there is a vehicle behind me. So
I'm wedged, and I see what's happening to be yeah,
wedged is not good. And I see what's happening here,
and I say to the person working the drive through window,
(11:49):
do you think you can get them to pull up
a little bit more. I mean, they're obviously you told
them to pull up and wait for their food, correct, Yeah,
they're waiting for their food. Okay, Well I can't get out.
And they say, yeah, I see that.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
I mean at least they're acknowledging it and not just
like yeah, being like come on, you gotta go. Yeah, right,
and keep in mind their cars piling up behind me.
So so they say to me, give them a little
toot on the horn and see if you can, you know,
move them along a little bit, right. So I said,
I think I know how this is going to turn out.
But okay, so I just do a friendly peep peep,
(12:21):
like that right, because you don't you lay on the horn.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
That's aggressive.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
So it's just a couple of peep peep and the
woman in the car driving I see her look in
a review mirror and she starts throwing her hands around.
She's angry, throwing her hands around. She's looking at me,
and so I look back at the guy working to
drive through, and I say, okay.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
This isn't going well.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Can you just ask them to move up a little bit?
And he says, well, you try it again.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
What you don't try it again?
Speaker 2 (12:52):
So I said, they're getting they're getting angry, can you please?
And he said, just just try it again. So I said,
all right, like that, here comes the finger. Oh, here
comes the finger out the window at me. And I'm like, okay,
how do you not understand that? Because you're just not
pulled up far enough. If you'll go another five or
six feet, I'll pull out. And then keep in mind
(13:15):
there's a car behind me, and then behind that car
somebody and they've already paid, and then behind that is
another car, and then another car. So that's like four cars.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Not only that, that's what you see on the outside
on the inside.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
They have alarms going.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Off, being like, you aren't moving these people fast enough,
get these meals out of here.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
You're over your time limit.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
That's exactly right. Yeah, yeah, that's what's going on. And
this is all because she will not move up five
or six feet, and honestly, she had two car lengths
in front of her that were available. So we just
sat there. We just sat and waited. And so we're
sitting there. The people behind us are sitting there, and
(13:56):
then eventually here comes somebody with a bag of food
and go to her car and hand her the food,
and she takes her food and drives off and gives
me the finger one more time on her way out. Now,
I says to Jessica, I says, here's the problem. This
person didn't learn anything, because somebody at the restaurant, in
my opinion, should have come out and said, ma'am, you
(14:19):
haven't moved up far enough. You need you to scooch
up into further your more feet and let the cars around. Okay,
if that had happened, then maybe the next time they
would be a little more aware of where the car
is and they would move it up a little bit further.
But the fact that nobody said anything, and this person,
by the time they pulled out, the line was all
the way around the restaurant. So now there's like seven
(14:40):
or eight cars waiting because this one person won't put
it in drive and move four or five feet. They
have learned nothing, and they'll continue to do.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
It right because somebody should have gone out.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
I think, so, yeah, I agree with you.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Yeah, because it's not like you're saying, hey, there's a
problem with your org. There's nothing to set them further
other than hey, would you mind?
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Could you still working on your food? But these people
need to pull around you?
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Yeah? Could you move up four feet and please stop
flipping off this guy behind you? Okay, Well, there you go.
There's your there's your tutorial in the does and do
not do's a fast food drive through restaurants. What do
you think here, triple eight, triple seven, sixty six forty
have you had to deal with this? Surely? To God,
and by the way, I know it sounds petty and ridiculous.
(15:29):
It was incredibly frustrating. Oh, it was really really frustrating. Absolutely.
It wasn't just the getting flipped off part, which nobody likes.
It was just the stupidity of it, that's what bothered you.
I was like, this is so incredibly stupid. Let's go
to the text line now and see what kind of
reactions we're getting, Nicki Drake, what.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Can you tell us text number one?
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Meanwhile, somewhere in the listening area, a woman is hitting
her forehead and saying, that's what that crazy person was
beeping for.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
I hope it damned on them. I bet it. And
even if they were listening, I think they're so out
of it that they don't even they didn't need an
ext room.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Yeah right, they don't care.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
They don't. I don't, I don't know, won't if.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
You weren't uh right, wait, hold.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
On, she's lost her way.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Oh I would have locked my truck in four by
four low Low deployed poll noodles on my brush guard
and slowly pushed her past her.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Yeah yeah, that's one. Having the guard with the pool
noodles around comes in handy.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Yeah, yeah, you know it is.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
It is tempting sometimes when people treat you like that
to go.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
If you won't move, let's play monster trucks. You've got one.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
I'm gonna move. Yeah yeah, but you can't not in
any type of polite, civilized society, you know, turn into chaos.
It would, Yeah, you can't do that.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
I've managed a restaurant. I'd have been out there confronting her.
That's ridiculous. If I'd seen her flip you off, I'd
even have asked to please stop confronting other customers for
wanting her to do.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
The right thing.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
I'd I have a confront Wait, you don't have to
say that word for me.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Confrontational, A confrontationally.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Occationally, thank you, it's a big word. I had a
confrontationally polite way about me.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
One time, a customer insisted on a remake, but wanted
us to bring it to them.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
When I said we couldn't do that, they threatened to
come fight me.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Of course, I was like, well, sir, that's up to you,
but if you're coming in any way, we'll get started
on your remake.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Make You know, what is it about fast food restaurants
that causes so much anger when people go there. I
don't understand it. The food, let's be honest, is delicious.
Sure it is, Okay, it's really delicious, and it's prepared
for you quickly. Even if there's a delay. It's a
(17:58):
lot faster than going to other restaurants. Why are people
so angry when they go to get fast food?
Speaker 4 (18:05):
A hypothesis?
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Okay, yeah, okay, so we've had the studies where fast
food is addicting, right, so I'm wondering if whatever makes
it addicting also makes you angry.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Oh wow, Like is it part of that fast food
addiction or is there something in the oil?
Speaker 2 (18:22):
I don't know how about this while we're throwing around
our hypotheses.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Maybe it's like somebody who's getting ready to take a
drug and they're jonesing for it and there's a delay
in getting the drug and it causes them to flip
out and just become furious.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
Yeah, this is part of, yes, part of the addiction.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Yeah, so whatever's in the stuff that makes it addicting makes.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
You go crazy when there's a delay getting it?
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Yes, right, get the withdrawal.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Okay, Well that may or may not be, or possibly
we're idiots. But my point is this, just looking at
this text that came in, can you imagine when they say, okay,
if your orders messed up, remake it, and they threatened
to come in and punch you in the face. Yeah,
what is what is happening in your life when somebody's like, well,
(19:10):
you know, we're gonna have to remake your sandwich? What
you have to remake it?
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:13):
All that's it. I'm gonna okay, all right, Well, thank
you Texter for the support and all of the support
I've received. That makes me feel just a little bit
better about being flipped off.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
The area's number one rated morning show, Let's Go, Let's Go,
Jack and.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Nikki one two w v AQ. Let's get awkward up
in here. Yes, that's right. It's the story of a
man who was asked a question by his wife and
he answered that question in a most unexpected way. Some
say he was joking. Others say, no, no, he was
(19:54):
actually being honest. And you know, it's one of the
situations where maybe you can be honest and it looks
like a joke to somebody and they take it as
a joke, but you really mean it.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Here is the question and the answer as it was posed.
Check it out.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
When did you know that I was the one?
Speaker 2 (20:19):
When did I know that you were the one?
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (20:21):
I was the one and only the one.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
You spent your life with the love of your life,
Like when When was that moment?
Speaker 4 (20:29):
When did you know?
Speaker 3 (20:32):
I'd have to say, when your.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Roommate dumped me? He knew she was the one when
her roommate dumped him. He was dating the roommate that
didn't work out, so she was planned b sure, So
there's only one thing left for her to do now
you guessed it. Go to social media and trash him
well and tag his employer and part that'll learn him
(20:55):
to be honest. Right, yeah, let's I think you the
guy joking around. It seems like he's joking around, But
what if he's not. Let's let's take that angle. Let's
let's try that one out for size.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
If he's not joking.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
What if he's not joking. What if he was dating
her friend and he was in love with her friend
and that didn't work out, and so then he ends
up marrying her. This is an uncomfortable situation. Very yeah,
And I think people do find this out after they
(21:29):
get married. That does happen. There are people who find out.
You know, we've had this conversation. It's been a long
time since we've talked about this. But if if you
marry the love of your life, great, good for you.
That's that's good. That's nice for you. Yeah, that's a
nice thing. As long as you are also the love
of their life. This is where you run into a problem,
(21:55):
right So yeah, yeah, So if you marry, let's I'm
just going to use you and Dave as an example. Okay,
let's say Dave is the love of your life. M
hm okay, and you think that you're the love of
his life and then you find out no, no, you're
actually miscongeniality. Oh yeah, you're the runner up.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Well he stuck with me, now, yeah, well.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Is he though? But you know what I mean, that's
that's a very painful thing to learn and to deal
with and to understand. And of course there is one
big clue, which we have revealed on the show in
the past, but it's summertime. We got a lot of
different people listening right now, and maybe it's time to
tell you what that clue is.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
What's the clue.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Somebody you're married to is really critical of you, oh
and hateful. Yeah, and they just seem to be annoyed
by everything about you. You're probably the runner.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
Up, yeah, yeah, probably.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Yeah, Because if somebody is married to the person they
think is the best person they could possibly get the
love of their life, the person that they would choo
choose over everyone else. You're not going to be nasty
to them. You're not going to be annoyed by them constantly.
I hate the way you breathe. I hate the way
you do everything. Everything about you makes me stick.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
You're you're so.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Stupid, you know, if you've got somebody, if you're married
to somebody, and they're very critical of you. Right, somebody
texted this in one time. Somebody texted in and said,
my wife says she hates the way I breathe. And
I thought, buddy, I don't want to tell you this. Yeah,
tell me you're not the love of her life without
telling me you're not the love of her life, right,
(23:32):
I mean, that's.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
That's a big, big clue.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
It is a very big clue. So I hope that
this doesn't ruin marriages all over the area. I mean,
I can imagine there're people listening right now. Go wait
a minute. My spouse is critical to me all the time,
all the time. I get criticized all the time.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Oh no, yeah, what happens next?
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Oh no, oh no, oh no, all right, studio text
lines are open? What do you guys think eight eight
eight seven, seven, seven sixty six forty and calls You
could text at that number in Texas at three five
sixty five to one, just out of curiosity, love of
your life? Are you married to the love of your life?
Did you take the runner up? Do they know they're
the runner up? Because it seems to me like if
(24:13):
you're settling, you don't usually tell the person. Like I said,
it usually comes out as just a lot of hatefulness
and bitter behavior because and this is what gets really
interesting and almost kind of funny about it. Somebody's really
nasty to you that you're married to. It's because you're
(24:33):
not the love of their life and you're now in
their way and they can't get to the love of
their life because they're married to you, right, So that's
why they're so nasty towards you, because you're in the way.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
You're in the way.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
You people are bud freaks. It's Jack and Nikki, it's
you guys on the studio and textual lines. As we
talk about the man who told his wife that the
minute he realized, the time it occurred to him that
she was the one was surprisingly the same time that
(25:08):
her friend broke up with him, so he's dating her friend,
doesn't work out, he goes and marries her.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
So we're talking about what happens when you are married
to the love of your life but you're the runner
up in their life, and it causes problems. It's an
imbalance in the relationship.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
You know.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
You look at your spouse and you're crazy about him, Yeah,
and you're like, this is fantastic. I'm just married to
my favorite person in the world, and they're looking at
you and they're going, gee, I wish it had worked
out with that other person. And because this is my
runner up. All right, so let's go to the studio
lines Triple eight, Triple seven, sixty six forty you were
on the Jack and Nikki show, which you got for us.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
Okay, right quick. I dated a gentleman years ago and
he was as sweet as he could but I could
tell he wasn't my type. So I introduced him to
my best friend and they ended up getting married. He
liked me, but I didn't like him. Uh oh no,
(26:14):
but they've been married for over thirty years.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Okay, so they were meant to be.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
Deal? Well, I mean it was this deal because he
finally found the match.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (26:24):
Well, I mean in our live I didn't like him
that well.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Yeah, Well, just because people are not married to the
love of their life doesn't mean they get a divorce.
There are a lot of people who are married to
their second choice or third choice. I mean that happens
all the time.
Speaker 5 (26:38):
Well I did so, but I thought about that when
I was listening to your show and I'm thinking he
was like infatuated with me, and I was like, you know,
after a couple of dates, I was like.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Oh no, no, no, wait no wait, so wait now
I have to ask you this. So after they got married,
did you continue to hang around with her and you
guys were friends and you were also around him?
Speaker 5 (27:03):
Yeah, because we were been best friends the fourth grade.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Okay, Well was that not weird for both you and
your friend when you were with this guy who was
infatuated with you and just thought you were the best
I mean, was that not weird?
Speaker 5 (27:17):
No, it wasn't weird because there I mean it was. Well,
see when I dated him, it was like old school.
You know, you court people, You're not just kissing them
on the first date or anything like that. M h.
It wasn't a situation. You know, we went out on
a couple of dates and from that and nothing happened,
(27:37):
no touchy feeling stuff. You know, it was just that
I figured out.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Yeah, no, I got you. I got you. I'm just
saying that if he's infatuated with you and you introduce
him to your friend and he ends up with her, okay,
well that doesn't mean it's infatuation with you goes away.
And also, is your friend aware that he was infatuated
with you? Did she know that he liked me?
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (28:02):
And so when when the three of you hung around,
nobody noticed that he was staring at you the whole time? Okay?
Speaker 5 (28:11):
Man I Faly was a little distance after they started
going out together.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Oh okay, yeah, she kept him clear. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
I wasn't around them looking at their courtship.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
You know, I understand. Listen, ma'am, you and I have
a lot in common. I have the same problem with
Jessica's friends. I am as I'm sure you know, dead
sexy and Jessica's friends, you know, they lust for me,
sometimes openly right in front of her, and then I
have to go Jessica, It's okay. You know, I'm not
gonna leave. I know these ladies are after me. You know,
I get it, I understand your situation.
