The only thing she knew about the person she was flirting with was his name, Jack. When she was asked about how she would feel when she learns that Jack” is actually a female, she said that would be okay because she has no problems dating a female. The hosts started an investigation and traced the phone number to a woman named Angel as noted by Metro.
