Who is "Hot Sexy Wife"? | Forensic Files

I There we you and I have been having a bit of a debate that I was wondering if maybe other listeners could weigh in on.
>> All right. I don't know what you're talking about. I'm nervous. Is it personal?
>> Personal for someone, not for us. Last week, I flew to Wyoming to drop my niece off. I was there on the ground for
12 hours. I have been to Wyoming before. I went for my 40th birthday for my little
sojourn by myself. I again I'm going to say I think Wyoming is an incredibly beautiful state. I
think that in the summertime it's like it's just shocking how how pretty it is. Um but on the plane there, I was sitting
next to a man and I was working on my own computer and he was working and he hadn't turned off the sound noti-
notifications on Right. So, this is why I'm just I'm just trying to say I wasn't trying to
eavesdrop or spy. He It was just he It was dinging, so I would have I would look over. Just be like natural looking
over. >> I would have judged you for looking over if there weren't wasn't any ding.
>> Well, I would Yeah, I know, but the but then you're going to hear what happened
next. So, he is di- dinging. So, I'm looking over and I look over and I see that
he's text messaging someone on his phone. >> Like I you're holding up your phone as a
prop. >> Yeah. And on the top >> messaging. >> Someone on the phone. And on the top of
it >> What's so funny? >> Nothing. Continue. >> On the top of it the name is hot sexy wife.
And I told you I said it's he's te- Isn't that so odd that this man is texting someone and he and the name is
hot? Like isn't that gross? And you immediately said, "What?" >> Well, that's not his wife.
>> Well, that's not his wife. Assuming that this was the mistress and that me would look at that and say, "Oh, I
bet his wife's really hot." That this was the >> it's it's less literal than that. It's
more like that's the type of playful thing that someone does before they're married.
Like if he's having a flirtation with a co-worker, you know, and she might change her name in his phone to that. Or
like if they've been dating and it's going well, I think it's like I think it's like I think when you give someone
a goofy name in your phone, it's flirtatious. And I don't think it's >> that But that's rather forward for
someone you're flirting with say, "Hot sexy wife." >> I think it's just like some sort of
joke. >> So you think >> Yeah, I think it's like a playful flirtatious gesture that I and I don't think they're
married. What were What was the content of the text messages? >> I got too nervous.
>> logistics or was it flirtatious? That will tell you if they're married. >> Well, it wasn't flirtatious.
>> stopped reading? >> I did kind of cuz I got a little embarrassed. It's hard It's It's easy to
read a word that you It's hard to read sentences. But So you think that this was not an affair?
>> Could be an affair. Could be an affair. It could be an affair. But that would be really
>> it was I think it was the wife playing a joke one day and being like hot >> I can see that, too.
>> I don't think that it was the man calling his wife my hot Do you think I mean he did it for fun for his wife like
look what I call you in my phone. I think she could have put it in kind of as a funny joke. But anyway, uh
>> What kind of shoes did he have? >> He had on Ons. >> Mhm. >> The the very practical ones that don't
even have any laces. They're just like They're just um cords kind of. >> Hm, slip-ons.
>> Yeah, they're kind of slip-ons. Um Anyway, so that was a But it's just interesting. I spent the whole time
Who's that hot sexy wife? Is that the affair? >> have any Is anyone in your phone have a
joke name? >> No one. >> No one? Are you serious? >> No, but what I do is I I put first
names, cuz I sometimes I don't know last names. But I'll put first and one I'm notorious for not putting in names for a
very long time. So I'll get a text message from someone and it'll say, "Happy birthday." Or it will s- a text
message um I and I just don't know who they who they are. But I will also uh will say things like um Denise tennis.
Cuz I don't know her last name. So I'll say so I'll say um Lauren podcast. >> Please don't put my name in your phone
