is in studio with us this morning he is our executive audio producer zach had an interesting phone call from a friend who asked for permission from zach what did he ask for permission for zach

yeah uh so he basically texted me um and he was like hey can i uh reach out to the female that you were dating a couple years ago and uh i was kind of shocked i was like i don't know i kind of feel weird about it but ultimately i was like absolutely go ahead go text her she's an ex haven't even talked to her in a few years what's the worst that can happen and uh they've been talking for about a week now and he was like so he asked me questions he was like hey so what ended up happening to you guys and i basically said uh he wanted intel too he wanted intel uh i ended up

moving uh you know was this the girl that you dated for a long time you guys lived in new york

together different different right after okay okay zach uh okay so let's let's back up here for one second come and ask you some questions so first off is this a thing like do you have to do this If you want to date somebody's ex, do you have to ask for permission?

I don't think so. I think so. You do? I think it depends on the level of the relationship, though. Like, if they was just some fly-by-night kind of thing, maybe not. But if it's like, say my example, Sherelle. If it's somebody that you have, like, a serious relationship with.

And somebody that knows you, absolutely they have to ask.

Well, like, sorry. No, because most relationships, to me, start organically, where you start organically with vodka, tequila, something like that and honestly i think i would be disingenuine in the fact that i was calling asking for permission because the permission would have never been granted because i wouldn't call

and drunk dial you to tell you that that was but i think even after that after that first meeting you would call your buddy or whatever and be like okay so i met you know so and so last night we hit it off how do you feel about this you're at least because they're probably going to come

around each other i would assume yeah you would see your friend with this with your ex well i wanted to tell you guys that i didn't see a future with her ultimately so i was like good luck with

her like have fun you know like do you know the rule about uh resume uh references no do you know you can get sued if you give a bad reference can you really yeah you're not allowed to give bad references you're only allowed to say yes they worked here and here's the times that they

worked here basically that's why do you even do references what's the point usually the only

person that you're asking a reference from is somebody that you think is going to give you a positive reference but but if you have somebody that they do their deep diving yeah so i that i would say to you this is dating so obviously that rules out the window but i don't know if i want to

forewarn him i want to let him learn the hard one i also think that that is not cool that he's asking you those personal questions maybe maybe why you guys broke up in case there was like you know she's a huge cheater or something like that but and i don't know how close of a friend you are with this guy. He's like one of my best high school friends. See, I feel like that's where you cross the line and he shouldn't even do that anyway because he needs to formulate his own opinion of her and that also puts you in a really funky position. I think I

would have felt weird though if I would have saw them at a bar together.

No, I'm saying I'm happy he asked you. I agree with that, but digging for details

is... Oh, for sure. But Shannon, you know your girls will probably be on the same thing. For sure. would every little detail they can but like i like i if i put if i'm putting myself in your shoes and somebody's asking me a ton of questions about my ex and i'm like going back and revisiting that

relationship and rehashing i don't know that i love that you know 844 mojo live 844-665-6548 zach was asked for permission eric uh to go and date his one of his exes by a buddy what's up eric What did you want to say?

Yeah, I was a buddy of mine, ex-Marine now, but he was in district boot camp. Said, let's go for a walk. He was all nervous. And go for a walk through his neighborhood. He's kind of jittery and nervous. I mean, I really just want to know if I can date, you know, so-and-so. I'm like, really, that's what you're worried about? You're like 75 pounds on me, and you're worried about asking me to date my ex.

Wow. I got to be honest with you, though. when you started talking about the fact that both of you guys served in the, was it Marines? Is that what you said?

He was a Marine. Yeah. Yeah. When you bring up Marine,

that scares me. Like, honestly, at that moment I'm thinking, ah, yeah, I'm not, you know, you can do whatever you want, sir.

You can kick my ass. You fight,

you fight terrorists. Uh, but tell me about your ex though. And be honest, is she just a pain in the ass?

She wasn't worth it. He left her too. Oh, Oh, damn.

How long do you last?

A couple months.

Wow.

Less than a tour. You're not raining my ass.

Yeah. I don't know about this with the Zach thing because Zach is such a nice guy. I feel like Zach would never give you an honest answer. Oh, I would. Whenever we talk to Zach and we're like, hey, Zach, can you do me a favor? this guy could be in the middle of you know some kind of a horrible thing that he has to deal with that he's been putting off forever and he will go yeah boss

I'll do that for you. But if she was an absolute disaster she wasn't I'm saying you would warn your friend. Oh absolutely

because he's my best guy I'm not gonna put yeah absolutely. See that's another thing though if he your best guy in my mind I'd be like a piece of me is like has he been plotting on her the whole time Then another piece of me is like, if you my dog for real, you couldn't just go find somebody else? Like, why does it have to be her?

But this was years ago. Yes. And that movie, who cares?

And it was a fling. Like, it's not like, we probably saw each other for maybe three months. Quick question for you. Could you see yourself dating one of his exes?

It depends on what she looked like.

Come on.

She go, why not?

What kind of girls does Zach date? I've never really seen any of these girls at these dates. You know some of the girls that I've dated. Dated or just hung out with? What's the difference?

I know. There's a difference. There was that one girl we know.

Oh, I see, actually, the one girl all the time at my favorite golf clothing store that you guys know.

No, we just hung up. You're just friends. Yeah, no, we're not.

Every time I see her, she hides behind us.

She's nervous of you, man. A pile of puma.

What's up, Calvin? How you doing?

Good. First off, Zach, it was hilarious when he goes, I don't think Zach would give you an honest answer. and I heard the background. He goes, yeah, I would. I could just barely hear it. But anyway, yeah, I mean, it's up to Zach at the end of the day. You know, if you want to share the information and y'all want to get around in sloppy seconds, then have fun.

That's true. By the way, the sloppy seconds is great. That ruins it. Bruno, what's up, Bruno?

Morning, everyone. Good morning.

What's going on, bud?

Nothing much. So first off, I don't think permission would be the right word personally that I would use. Because when you say permission, that's kind of like, you know, someone having ownership over something or in this case, someone.

Yeah, true.

And secondly, I would say that's only reserved for like really close friends. You know, like in this case, this guy and Zach were really close. But if it was someone that Zach kind of like knows, but they don't really know each other, then he doesn't have, you know, he doesn't have to tell Zach about someone that he's dating in the past.

Yeah.

That's what I was.

How about if it's not called permission, it's rent to own.

Or borrow.

Can I borrow?

He can after praise.

Yeah. All right.

The United States is about to mark its 250th anniversary.

And so on the Global Story podcast from the BBC, we're telling surprising tales of American influence on the world stage and in ordinary people's lives all across the globe.

We have this ability to export our story and a lot of people have bought it.

I feel like the American dream is alive, but not well.

From the BBC, it's the United States at 2.50.
