What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
It's War of the Roses on KDWB.
You know, you listen to the Dave Ryan Show, you learn things. Like, you know, I learned the other day that I used to think a stop sign with a white border around it was optional. It was? Yeah. Well, I thought it was.
No, you didn't. Yeah.
And then I learned on the radio here that the white border around the stop sign doesn't mean it's optional. For my entire life, I've been zipping through these stop signs that have a white border on them. Mm-hmm. We got somebody on the show, Emma. You learned something on the show too, Emma. What did you learn on The Dave Ryan Show?
Well, I learned that I could look up myself and anyone's public court records. Oh, yeah. Big secret.
Yeah. Okay. I talked about that once where I said I would go on First Dates and just look up the guy on public access courts to see if he had a, you know, rap sheet. And so apparently I'm spreading the news to one and all.
Okay, because I guess it'd be a good thing to know.
Yeah, exactly.
So you go online, you're poking around. What did you find?
Yeah, I probably should have done it after the first date, but I did not. I waited until after about five months of getting this guy set. Long story short is that I, well, maybe not short, but I was, of course, my first instinct was to look up my own records and be like, you know, oh, what's out there on me? Which, by the way, they do. There is. You can get information. Like, my old parking tickets. Wild. Anyway.
Yeah.
So I was poking around my own files and then I'm like, well, I wonder if there's anything on Seth. So I start poking around. I put in Seth's name. There was actually two entries of the same name, but I could tell one was the same age as him and the other one was like 75 or something. Which one was him? And under his name, I see a charge for failure to pay child support. Which is one thing, but I did not even know this guy has a kid. Oh.
What public records can you look up about someone?
Oh, dang. And it's been five months into the relationship?
Yes. And I know it's his profile because everything else matches. The phone number matches, his address matches. So I know it's him because at first I really needed to make sure that I wasn't like, I didn't want to think I have the wrong person and look like a real crazy if I, you know, if it wasn't him. But like I said, all the data matched. So I had to confront him about it. And I did. And he said his excuse to me is I just wanted to get to know you first before I told you about my kid. But did I tell you the part where it's been five months?
You did mention five months, yeah. So, I mean, you've got five months of history together.
Five months of history together. And then, oh, and then he hits me with, and this is like a trigger word for me, but whenever I hear a guy say that his ex is crazy, to me, that's like red flag, right?
But what does that have to do with him not telling you? And five months, I mean, think of like, I'm going to guess you spent nights together and went places together and held hands and touched butts and things like that.
Oh, Lord.
So, and so he... Some uglies have bumped, yes. Okay, that's good. But so now, what makes you want to call and think that he's cheating?
Well, so again, it's because he said, my ex is crazy. That's the red flag for me. Because I don't think it has anything to do, like you said, with the fact that his ex is crazy. I think that he's just trying to keep up a bunch of different lies. And it makes me think that if he's doing this so easily to me, I don't know. If I'm with him three nights out of the week, what's he doing the other four? And he certainly never talked to me, you know? So I just, something feels off, you know? It's... Feeling fishy. It's smelling fishy. It was weird enough to find out that he had a kid. And now I just all of my senses are on high alert. And I want to know even more.
I'll give you another red flag. The fact that he didn't pay child support long enough that he got taken to court for it. That's what I was because. You know, if there's like a month, I mean, you know, if you're young and you don't have the money, usually they take it right out of your paycheck.
