00:00:01.241 --> 00:00:03.867
Oh my god, I just totally got catfished.
00:00:03.867 --> 00:00:05.913
He looks absolutely nothing like his picture.
00:00:06.379 --> 00:00:11.029
So I found out, the guy that I've been dating is married with kids.
00:00:11.029 --> 00:00:13.153
His wife just reached out to me.
00:00:15.441 --> 00:00:16.704
Welcome to the meat market.
00:00:16.704 --> 00:00:20.152
The single scene is a slaughterhouse and we are here to devour it.
00:00:20.152 --> 00:00:21.222
We are your hosts.
00:00:21.222 --> 00:00:25.192
I'm Lindsay, I'm Jess and today's sizzling single is Pam.
00:00:25.192 --> 00:00:27.503
Welcome, hello, I'm so happy to be here.
00:00:27.503 --> 00:00:32.764
So you had an NFL player pursue you and then you found out he was headed to jail?
00:00:32.764 --> 00:00:34.088
Tell us about that.
00:00:34.270 --> 00:00:36.057
I mean that is a great way to start it off.
00:00:36.137 --> 00:00:37.420
It was really hilarious.
00:00:38.783 --> 00:00:45.713
I was on a plane and we had a layover in Dallas somewhere and they were like you can get off the plane.
00:00:45.713 --> 00:00:53.252
I'm like okay, and I'm such like I don't like to be late and so, even though it was an hour, I'm like I have to hurry to the quickest market, get something and run away.
00:00:53.252 --> 00:01:08.090
And I happened to meet this guy in the little market and he just commented on my shoes I'm a huge fan of Chucks, I only wear Chucks and then I had a Snoop Dogg shirt on, so he quickly just mentioned something about that.
00:01:08.090 --> 00:01:10.822
And then we both like headed to the line he's like gorgeous ladies first.
00:01:10.822 --> 00:01:15.561
And I was like, oh, that was really sweet, paid for my stuff and just wished him a safe travel.
00:01:15.561 --> 00:01:26.152
And I walked to my plane and um sat in my seat and one of the flight attendants came over and was like hey, there's a card that this guy he's like you didn't see this huge man running after you.
00:01:26.152 --> 00:01:28.594
And I'm like I'm in my own little world.
00:01:28.754 --> 00:01:29.036
No.
00:01:29.775 --> 00:01:32.873
So he had a card on it and he's like, hey, from the guy that met you in the market.
00:01:32.873 --> 00:01:35.542
And I was like, okay, so I'm like why not?
00:01:35.542 --> 00:01:45.195
So I text him while I'm sitting there and we started texting back and forth and about like a month later he happened to travel back to Arizona.
00:01:45.195 --> 00:01:49.572
So we hung out and had dinner and everything was wonderful.
00:01:49.572 --> 00:01:58.590
And then we were planning on me going out and meeting up where he was traveling next and it was just, it was really funny.
00:01:58.590 --> 00:02:00.927
I was like, okay, I just want to make sure this guy's like not married.
00:02:00.927 --> 00:02:08.191
So Googled him and, of course, got his history in the NFL and all the things he did, and he's been retired for quite a while.
00:02:08.191 --> 00:02:13.348
So, um, and I was like, okay, he's being honest about stuff Like you never know what someone's going to lie about.
00:02:13.348 --> 00:02:22.746
And then, but the one photo that I clicked on was a mugshot and I was just like I mean you know everyone has a past, like it could happen, Like I Like.
00:02:23.126 --> 00:02:27.588
I'm not here to get all upset about that, and so it was really, really interesting.
00:02:27.588 --> 00:02:32.431
And so there was a pending case and I was like this is probably something that's going to go somewhere.
00:02:32.431 --> 00:02:33.913
And we kept talking.
00:02:33.913 --> 00:02:37.936
I was waiting for him to bring it up, just because I'm such not a judgmental person.
00:02:37.936 --> 00:02:39.817
Like things happen, we all do stupid stuff.
00:02:39.817 --> 00:02:42.563
Some of us get caught, Some don't.
00:02:42.563 --> 00:02:53.766
And so right after New Year's he had texted me his long message right on New Year's and all of this stuff and then gone Like never heard from him again.
00:02:53.766 --> 00:02:56.705
I was like okay.
00:02:56.705 --> 00:02:57.588
So then I was trying to Google.
00:02:57.588 --> 00:02:59.706
I'm like maybe he did go to jail, I don't know what happened.
00:02:59.727 --> 00:03:00.569
Did I serve that sentence?
00:03:00.569 --> 00:03:00.669
Yeah?
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:08.009
I couldn't find anything about it and I was like, okay, and it of that, yeah, I couldn't find anything about it and I was like, okay, and it happened.
00:03:08.009 --> 00:03:12.444
I think it was like a year later, on New Year's, I just happened to send a message um to his phone, just like hey, it's been a year, hope you're doing well.
00:03:12.444 --> 00:03:14.149
And it went undelivered.
00:03:14.149 --> 00:03:17.348
So I was like, okay, either his phone's off or phone number isn't working anymore.
00:03:17.348 --> 00:03:19.014
But and that was it.
00:03:19.014 --> 00:03:21.401
Yeah, that was it, and you never heard from him again.
00:03:21.481 --> 00:03:22.563
No, that is so.
00:03:22.563 --> 00:03:25.830
He could be still in jail, maybe, wow.
00:03:25.830 --> 00:03:32.923
I don't know yeah, and you never found out the reason why he went to jail or the reason why he was arrested it had to do with something, something.
00:03:32.943 --> 00:03:38.920
There was an assault that happened and, yeah, that's crazy yeah, talk about no.
00:03:38.980 --> 00:03:41.947
Closure right, talk about no oh, my gosh at all.
00:03:42.228 --> 00:03:43.310
And were you interested in him?
00:03:43.912 --> 00:03:47.288
I was like we actually connected a lot and and everything was great.
00:03:47.288 --> 00:03:54.867
But you know people can fluff up things through text and phone calls and visiting and everything, and so, yeah, I was like, oh well, that took a turn.
00:03:55.088 --> 00:03:55.751
Disappointing.
00:03:55.751 --> 00:03:58.007
He might creep back up.
00:03:58.007 --> 00:04:00.426
He might pop back up once he gets released.
00:04:00.526 --> 00:04:01.370
Do you know what I mean?
00:04:01.430 --> 00:04:06.163
It can happen Like release there you go, like after his release day.
00:04:06.163 --> 00:04:08.770
He's probably been thinking about you all these five years later he reaches out to you.
00:04:08.830 --> 00:04:16.930
He just got out of prison like oh my goodness, so we have a lot to talk about you're like maybe I should have brought it up that I googled you.
00:04:17.711 --> 00:04:29.093
I know I should hang out, it's like it's like we're so worried, like, oh, it's too soon for the crazy to come out like he can't see how crazy I am, that I Googled him and I know all this about him.
00:04:29.093 --> 00:04:35.146
I can't bring it up yet, but then maybe you should have brought it up, maybe you should have seen that side.
00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:37.233
I'm like there's no playbook to say when do you bring up?
00:04:37.233 --> 00:04:38.240
Hey, I saw your mugshot.
00:04:40.526 --> 00:04:43.132
Like you should have texted it to him.
00:04:43.132 --> 00:04:46.762
Hey, this is a great picture of you.
00:04:46.781 --> 00:04:47.463
I know the lighting is perfect.
00:04:47.463 --> 00:04:47.964
That'd be terrible.
00:04:47.964 --> 00:04:48.225
Oh my gosh.
00:04:48.225 --> 00:04:49.689
I'd probably cry for him for myself.
00:04:49.689 --> 00:04:56.906
But yeah, it was just like you know, I didn't again, I didn't want to be judgmental about anything and I was like there could be a logical explanation for it and stuff.
00:04:56.906 --> 00:05:01.223
So I was just kind of letting him dive into that and, yeah, never got there.
00:05:01.223 --> 00:05:02.867
So wow, who knows?
00:05:03.108 --> 00:05:07.966
So you had someone else that cheated on you and you confronted the woman?
00:05:07.966 --> 00:05:08.891
Tell us about that.
00:05:08.911 --> 00:05:12.180
That that really was like a Jerry Springer episode.
00:05:12.180 --> 00:05:14.925
And, um, yeah, so I'd been.
00:05:14.925 --> 00:05:18.213
No, it's just Scottsdale right, oh my gosh.
00:05:18.213 --> 00:05:19.033
So I was.
00:05:19.033 --> 00:05:27.338
I was in a relationship with a gentleman and we were living together and I was working a lot and very busy.
00:05:27.338 --> 00:05:28.661
He was also very, very busy.
00:05:28.661 --> 00:05:36.473
So you know, we didn't have a lot of quality time together and you kind of get those red flags a little bit, but you're like you can brush it off to something.
00:05:36.473 --> 00:05:45.533
And I was going with a friend out of town and I get a message on Facebook messenger and was like hey, are you still dating so-and-so?
00:05:45.533 --> 00:05:51.149
And I was like yes, and they were like, oh well, he's also dating my friend.
00:05:51.149 --> 00:05:53.848
And I was like okay.
00:05:53.848 --> 00:06:01.451
So I said would you like to have your friend contact me Because I want to make sure, like we get our like what's truly happening yeah.
00:06:02.221 --> 00:06:04.528
I'm literally what is with me in airports, Okay.
00:06:04.528 --> 00:06:16.023
So I'm literally about to hop on a plane with a friend of mine to help take care of a family member that needed some medical help and, um, so I'm like, okay, so that whole weekend her and I are talking about what's going on.
00:06:16.023 --> 00:06:29.744
She three-way calls him a couple times to confront him about me and just all the things he was saying about we're just roommates and he doesn't want to leave because he feels bad and you're on the call.
00:06:29.744 --> 00:06:30.708
Oh, I'm listening, Wow.
00:06:31.440 --> 00:06:32.526
So, listening to all of this.
00:06:32.526 --> 00:06:42.759
And so then, about two days after I'm gone, I called him and I'm like, just, I try to play it off cool the entire weekend, except for the day before I came home.
00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:48.944
I called him and I was like, hey, I have a question, who's so-and-so?
00:06:48.944 --> 00:06:51.048
And he's like, just you could.
00:06:51.048 --> 00:06:58.930
I could picture the face and I'm like, okay, Um, so you need to be, I don't want you home.
00:06:58.930 --> 00:07:00.903
When I get there, you need to start packing your stuff.
00:07:00.903 --> 00:07:01.505
I will be home.
00:07:01.526 --> 00:07:02.810
I think it was like Monday at five.
00:07:02.810 --> 00:07:14.343
Um, I want all of your stuff gone.
00:07:14.343 --> 00:07:15.367
You will come over and I want this explained to me.
00:07:15.367 --> 00:07:17.759
So he comes over and I start talking with him and I'm just like, tell me about this relationship, what's been going on?
00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:19.942
Like I want to know everything.
00:07:19.942 --> 00:07:29.744
And so then I started asking very purposeful questions about her as well and to make sure, like what he was gonna say.
00:07:29.744 --> 00:07:34.221
And so I was just like, hey, so do you know where I know all this and how I know all this information?
00:07:34.221 --> 00:07:37.548
She was in my stairwell that he couldn't see her.
00:07:37.709 --> 00:07:46.749
so she comes down so she not only got to hear all the stuff he said about her, so that he can't then go to her and be like hey, I actually finally broke it off, smart.
00:07:46.749 --> 00:07:48.274
Yes, so she heard that.
00:07:48.274 --> 00:07:57.225
Then I kicked them both out because she was in the wrong, she knew about me she met me at dinner from the beginning from the beginning he took me to meet her where she was working.
00:07:57.526 --> 00:07:59.291
They because they've known each other from growing up.
00:07:59.291 --> 00:08:02.947
So I was like oh, okay, and he told me about it, so I initially didn't think anything of it.
00:08:02.947 --> 00:08:08.473
But yeah, I really wish like TikTok was around at that time, because that would have been right.
00:08:08.553 --> 00:08:09.800
Yeah, that would have gone viral.
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:11.968
Yeah, that was, that was impressive.
00:08:12.129 --> 00:08:19.016
But yeah, I wasn't gonna let him, even though I was still frustrated with her, it's you know he, he was doing a lot, but she also knew about me.
00:08:19.016 --> 00:08:23.148
So it's like, yeah, okay, you were both, you were both at wrong here, so how?
00:08:23.148 --> 00:08:28.173
Long were you with him for at that time was like about a year wow, and did they date afterwards?
00:08:28.233 --> 00:08:29.057
or was she done with him?
00:08:29.057 --> 00:08:32.245
Good, so he walked away with no one.
00:08:32.245 --> 00:08:33.528
Ha ha ha karma.
00:08:34.590 --> 00:08:37.821
Right, that was, that was an impressive, yeah, yeah, impressive one.
00:08:37.821 --> 00:08:39.284
So how has dating been for you?
00:08:39.284 --> 00:08:39.985
So how long have you been?
00:08:39.985 --> 00:08:42.392
Single for um, my kids.
00:08:42.392 --> 00:08:44.144
Dad and I, we were together for quite a long time.
00:08:44.144 --> 00:08:49.711
Um, we've been apart since 2018, I believe like right in the beginning of 2018, we separated.
00:08:49.750 --> 00:08:50.600
So why did that end?
00:08:51.221 --> 00:09:03.730
It was just, you know, we are very, very different people and I think we we just do not have the ability to communicate well, um, with us, and we're just just we are such drastic people.
00:09:03.730 --> 00:09:05.352
So I think that it was best.
00:09:05.352 --> 00:09:10.030
And now he's remarried to a lady who I just absolutely adore her.
00:09:10.030 --> 00:09:14.586
So her and I really co-parent very, very well and stuff like that.
00:09:14.586 --> 00:09:21.549
So I think, um, you know, it kind of ended up working out really well, because now they also get another woman in their life who's just absolutely incredible for them.
00:09:21.650 --> 00:09:22.822
So oh, that's wonderful.
00:09:22.841 --> 00:09:24.505
Yeah, yeah and how old are your kids?
00:09:24.505 --> 00:09:26.090
They're 10 and almost 9.
00:09:26.090 --> 00:09:27.533
Oh, fun ages.
00:09:27.533 --> 00:09:28.844
Yes, they're exhausting.
00:09:29.065 --> 00:09:30.850
But so much fun, I just love them.
00:09:31.181 --> 00:09:32.981
It is fun with the ages, like my oldest son.
00:09:32.981 --> 00:09:41.907
Now he's big enough to where he can come to the gym with me and he's finding all of those things out, and my little guy is coming along in life and just doing all the fun things, so it's really great.
00:09:41.907 --> 00:09:42.467
Do you want more?
00:09:42.869 --> 00:09:45.432
No, no, you're done, someone else's bonus kids?
00:09:45.533 --> 00:09:46.955
absolutely, my uterus is weird.
00:09:46.955 --> 00:09:48.927
No, that is not happening.
00:09:50.100 --> 00:09:52.187
So you have your doctorate degree.
00:09:52.206 --> 00:09:53.390
I do yeah, and what was that in.
00:09:53.740 --> 00:09:55.206
It's in a doctorate of nursing practice.
00:09:55.206 --> 00:09:57.245
Oh okay, and you run a mobile IV company.
00:09:57.245 --> 00:10:06.879
I do so.
00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:09.591
I'm the president of of a large national chain of mobile clinics and so I've been doing that since about 2021.
00:10:09.591 --> 00:10:11.258
I've been in this position with this company, so you're super successful and smart.
00:10:11.258 --> 00:10:11.659
It's wonderful, it's.
00:10:11.659 --> 00:10:12.621
It's a lot going from.
00:10:12.621 --> 00:10:22.831
I was a bedside nurse in pediatrics for 18 years and I did a lot in the national or the natural world and I loved that.
00:10:22.831 --> 00:10:27.965
And then just then, just yeah, right before the COVID times or during the COVID times, I'm like I'm just done.
00:10:28.386 --> 00:10:29.890
I needed a break and I I love.
00:10:29.890 --> 00:10:33.890
Now I get to be with my kids a lot more, so I'm a lot more flexible versus the shifts.
00:10:33.890 --> 00:10:36.361
I was always missing things and that was really, really difficult.
00:10:36.361 --> 00:10:43.503
So I'm like, all right, we're gonna hang up those scrubs and now I work in business and it's absolutely wonderful you love it, oh good.
00:10:43.523 --> 00:10:46.408
Oh good, Gosh, I freaking love it, and are you on the dating apps?
00:10:47.168 --> 00:10:48.851
I've tried twice.
00:10:48.851 --> 00:10:50.595
Really that's it.
00:10:50.595 --> 00:10:51.682
Try, yeah, and it's just been.
00:10:51.682 --> 00:10:54.409
I haven't done like Tinder or Bumble or anything else.
00:10:54.409 --> 00:11:09.101
Like I'm just I don't know, I'm I get enough disgusting DMs as it is on, like just Instagram and I'm like you think that's an appropriate message to someone right like I couldn't get myself there, but I was on match like a couple years ago and actually met a really wonderful gentleman.
00:11:09.101 --> 00:11:14.160
We were dating for about nine months and then, um, he had to move across the country.
00:11:14.160 --> 00:11:25.083
So now we're actually still really good friends, um, but yeah, he's all the way across the country, so that wasn't gonna work that sucks, yeah, and is there anywhere else that you find have found success meeting men?
00:11:25.104 --> 00:11:25.804
do you meet men at work?
00:11:26.525 --> 00:11:27.488
no, because I work from home.
00:11:27.488 --> 00:11:36.759
So and I, yeah, yeah yeah, we have, like we have a large group of people, but it's all work related and that's not something I would get into.
00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:43.514
But, um, yeah, so I'm between being home working at the gym or sometimes when I go out with friends.
00:11:43.514 --> 00:11:48.302
Um, it's, yeah, to meet men in the wild is kind of interesting.
00:11:48.302 --> 00:11:49.525
Like no one talks anymore.
00:11:49.525 --> 00:11:52.030
That's so depressing.
00:11:52.171 --> 00:11:53.134
What a world.
00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:55.065
It is, it is, it is.
00:11:55.225 --> 00:11:59.461
And it would be nice to meet someone at the gym, but when I'm at the gym I don't want to talk to anyone.
00:11:59.461 --> 00:12:01.644
I just want to like go get my workout and go home.
00:12:01.884 --> 00:12:13.509
Right, no one's really talking to each other, or I think because of like so many horrible videos out there, it's like it's like the men are scared because of the videos that women post and it's just like yeah.
00:12:14.032 --> 00:12:16.543
I'm like if someone comes up and talks to me in the gym, I'm so nice.
00:12:16.543 --> 00:12:19.110
I'd be like this lovely old gentleman.
00:12:19.110 --> 00:12:20.491
He was oh God, he was the cutest.
00:12:20.491 --> 00:12:24.474
Um, he looks like a guy who used to like bodybuild, with Arnold back on like.
00:12:24.474 --> 00:12:29.655
Newport Beach or something and he was in the gym every single day and he would just randomly.
00:12:29.655 --> 00:12:30.755
Can I work in sure?
00:12:31.157 --> 00:12:37.123
oh, I'll 100% you come on like you're just so nice and I think he was in his 70s now, but he worked out every day.
00:12:37.123 --> 00:12:38.288
He was at the gym every day.
00:12:38.288 --> 00:12:40.740
I think that was just kind of his his life there.
00:12:40.740 --> 00:12:41.541
He was the sweetest.
00:12:41.541 --> 00:12:44.404
But I'm like, if someone approaches me in the gym, I'm not an ass.
00:12:44.404 --> 00:12:46.607
Yeah, like, be nice, be courteous.
00:12:46.607 --> 00:12:51.975
I mean, if someone's going to like be rude, I think that would be a good place to meet people, because you're au naturel.
00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:56.721
Like typically no makeup, no hair, you know Well.
00:12:56.721 --> 00:12:58.203
But the girls now they're doing these.
00:12:58.203 --> 00:13:01.648
Like there was a video, it was like like a photo or whatever.
00:13:01.648 --> 00:13:08.216
That was kind of going viral and it was this girl and she had on her like little short, short, shorts.
00:13:08.336 --> 00:13:08.635
Right.
00:13:15.019 --> 00:13:26.808
And then the bra top and then her T-shirt like tucked in so that her butt was like out, and she was doing a video and there was a guy standing at a weight bench like kind of kitty corner to her and was like looking at her and it said it was something like her.
00:13:26.808 --> 00:13:29.565
Like she turned and was like why are you staring at me?
00:13:29.565 --> 00:13:32.471
And he was like why is your ass out in the gym?
00:13:33.221 --> 00:13:37.269
like everyone's gonna look, exactly like everyone's gonna stare at you.
00:13:37.629 --> 00:14:04.861
So it's yeah, social media has created this whole gym environment where it's turned into this social media moment for a lot of so many fitness influencers I've heard that lifetime fitness it's all influences there and that would kind of annoy me if you go to work out and then everyone's on their phone filming like yeah, dude, that's kind of annoying over tripods and everything else, oh, tripods yes tripods are set up like.
00:14:04.903 --> 00:14:05.826
That's how they set, that's how.
00:14:05.826 --> 00:14:07.903
How else do you expect to get the full?
00:14:07.923 --> 00:14:10.702
body stuff, like that's what this video was Like.
00:14:10.702 --> 00:14:15.600
She had her camera set up and she was filming and there was a guy looking at her.
00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:20.687
Because what are you going to do when there's a half naked person filming themselves at?
00:14:20.707 --> 00:14:23.043
the gym and you're trying to use the space.
00:14:23.082 --> 00:14:33.629
If something's hanging out, I'm going to look at it right, exactly, exactly exactly that's why I'm glad I work at an EOS, because there's no tripods there, no influences come to my house because I'm.
00:14:34.291 --> 00:14:36.657
I will never meet a man at the gym.
00:14:36.657 --> 00:14:39.046
I know I'm like comes to my house.
00:14:39.466 --> 00:14:40.509
Oh my gosh, it's terrible.
00:14:40.509 --> 00:14:45.330
Like there's a couple gyms that I'll go to, depending on, like, if I have my son with me or I just have a really quick workout.
00:14:45.330 --> 00:14:45.892
I need to get in.
00:14:45.892 --> 00:14:47.384
But yeah, I think that's right.
00:14:47.384 --> 00:14:51.572
It's so many men don't want to approach women because of that.
00:14:51.572 --> 00:15:02.991
They're going to be like, oh my gosh, it's a video up and now I'm going to be called a creep and a predator online.
00:15:03.232 --> 00:15:04.575
I'm going to end ass out.
00:15:04.654 --> 00:15:09.086
So it's just like you're damned if you do and I'm not the girl at the gym in skimpy clothes Like I can't.
00:15:09.086 --> 00:15:09.727
I'm not either.
00:15:09.727 --> 00:15:10.169
I'm sorry.
00:15:10.470 --> 00:15:11.131
I'm not either.
00:15:11.131 --> 00:15:16.442
I'll work on some glutes, but it does not need to be for everyone to see, and I'm like no, so I'm in.
00:15:16.442 --> 00:15:17.024
I'm in pants.
00:15:19.003 --> 00:15:20.504
I have some crop tops, boobs falling out.
00:15:20.524 --> 00:15:21.566
Like I just can't.
00:15:21.566 --> 00:15:23.308
I remember one time I went to the gym on my slippers.
00:15:23.308 --> 00:15:26.133
My sister took a picture of me.
00:15:26.133 --> 00:15:27.033
Everyone was making fun of me.
00:15:27.033 --> 00:15:28.076
That's so gross.
00:15:28.076 --> 00:15:37.000
So you had a boyfriend cheat on you with a stripper and you saw the text oh yeah.
00:15:37.041 --> 00:15:37.760
That was cute.
00:15:37.760 --> 00:15:41.625
Um, yeah, I happened to.
00:15:41.625 --> 00:15:53.456
Just, you know, I was with someone for a short period of time and I kind of started like feeling some things like why are you coming home from work a little extra late?
00:15:53.456 --> 00:15:54.966
Like things are kind of weird.
00:15:54.966 --> 00:16:09.783
And for some odd reason he just went to the bathroom and picked up their phone and I was just like, and I saw I looked through the text and there was one text and it was only two messages and it said hey, I'm so sorry, I won't see you, I can't come play tonight.
