CALLER BACKGROUND: SHANNON’S SIDE

• Shannon confident the date went well.
• No kissing or overt romantic moments, but the vibe felt good.
• Craig said, “Hit me up” at the end — Shannon took that as an invitation.
• She didn’t want to seem desperate, so she turned to the show for help.

REACHING OUT TO CRAIG

• Kevin calls Craig, who agrees to talk (a little reluctantly).
• Hosts explain the segment and Shannon’s perspective.
• Craig shares he’s not interested in a second date — “not a fit.”
• Hosts probe: “What happened?”

CRAIG’S REASON: RED FLAGS

• Craig says Shannon was fixated on his ex.
• Asked many questions: Who she was, what she looked like, why they broke up, did he cheat, etc.
• Felt like it lasted 15+ minutes.
• He wants to focus on the present, not dwell in the past.
• Said it gave him “a weird vibe.”

THE CONFRONTATION: SHANNON JOINS THE CALL

• Shannon joins the line — surprised and confused.
• She argues that asking about an ex is normal for getting to know someone.
• Defends her questions as trying to understand Craig’s background.
• Craig stands firm — felt like interrogation, not conversation.
• Shannon insists it wasn’t “trauma dumping,” just curiosity.

DEBATE: WHO’S IN THE RIGHT?

• Craig thinks it was obsessive; Shannon thinks it was reasonable.
• Shannon accuses Craig of avoiding the topic because he might still have feelings for his ex.
• Craig disagrees — he just wanted to move forward, not backward.
• Hosts question both sides: Is it okay to ask about exes on a first date?

CLOSURE

• Hosts ask Craig if he’d consider another date if the ex talk was off the table.
• Craig declines: “Cat’s out of the bag. It already happened.”
• Shannon disappointed but thanks the hosts.
• Both wish each other well.

HOSTS RECAP + COMMENTARY

• Hosts reflect on:
• The fine line between curiosity and interrogation.
• Whether it’s appropriate to dig into someone’s past on a first date.
• Importance of reading social cues and knowing when to move on.
• Some empathy for both sides: curiosity is human, but timing matters.
