online dates in my life. Andyou went a lot further with this than
I have. I mean, you'redoing the research and looking up steal,
(01:10):

discouraging. And so let's see ifwe can help. We're gonna call this
girl, Melanie. We'll ask somequestions. You'll be on the phone at

Report in about ten minutes and achance at one thousand, two hundred and
fifty bucks versus show Beach Shelley infive questions the show Beach Shelley Showdown.
(01:53):
That's about fifteen minutes away. Yeah, welcome back. Let's call Melanie.
You guys met on Tinder. Youdid some research before the day, took
her to a place to eat thatyou knew she would like based on her
profile, brought her some you know, some gifts, flowers, whatever,
and you thought the date went great, except now she's ghosting you and you
want to know why. Yeah,I'm just I'm just wondering because things seem
(02:14):
to go so well that, like, I don't I want to know what
I did wrong because I felt likewe were doing everything right. Well,
who knows, maybe it's something isgoing on that we can fix or whatever.
But hopefully set you guys up onanother date. So good luck,
all right? Thanks man? Hello? Hi is this Melanie? Yeah,
(02:35):
Melanie, Good morning Fred from theFred Show The Whole Cruise Here. I
have to tell you that we areon the radio right now and I need
your permission to continue. Is thatokay if we talk for a minute.
Oh my gosh, yeah, that'sfine. Okay, Well, thank you
so much. Um, I'll getright to it. We're calling on behalf
of this guy named Jeff who reachedout to us. Apparently you guys met
on tender and went out once.Yeah, okay, so like Jeff is
(03:00):
involved with this all right? Yeah, no, he reached out to us,
and this is what we do onthis thing. We were trying to
figure out what people got ghosted,and so maybe maybe you could explain to
us, Melanie, why you're notcalling him back because he can't seem to
figure it out. Yeah, Imean, I guess it is shocking to
me that he wouldn't know, butyeah, cheryls oh no, they never
know. They never know, andthat's kept us in business for over a
(03:23):
decade, so please if you would. Yeah, that's okay. Um,
So we had a tender date andlike the date itself was totally fine,
like fine to actually a good date. We got some sushi and he actually
brought me flowers, which was likesuper old fact, and then yeah,
(03:43):
he mentioned that I was impressed bythat. Well, and the impression I
got was that he was kind oflike a chivalrous like gentlemanly type, which
I think is it kind of rarethese days, So I was optimistic about
it. Okay, So where didthis go? Wrong though, because obviously
this took it to our what happened, what happened later is so crazy because
he drove me home again, verypolite and um, we pulled up to
(04:08):
the final turn into my neighborhood.Um, and he saw that the road
was unfinished. It's like kind ofa dirt gravel road. Yeah. And
he stopped the car and was like, hey, this is a new car,
so can you just get out andwalk? Stop it? Ye in
(04:28):
And like I thought he was jokingfirst. That was how crazy this researched
a bunch of stuff for you andwas telling us, tell us about how
he's you know, a hopeless romanticbefore you got on the line and flowers
in the whole deal. But hewouldn't drive his new car on a on
a you know, unpaved road forhim. Good for him, Not good
for him. No, come on, he probably got a car washed and
(04:53):
the dust will start flying up onthe on the dirt again. Yeah,
right, stop the the you know, the finish on the time. If
a guy told you to get outand walk because he didn't want to get
his car dirty, yeah, Andlike I'm listening things you can't get things
out of a car, but likewhat the impression I have of him is
(05:15):
permanent? Wasn't that far of awalk though? Like when in a in
a car, it feels like notlong at all, but when you're wearing
like three in shields, it feelslike miles. Okay, you know,
let me bring jaffin. I forgot. I forgot to mention that Jeff is
here. Dude, what happened tohopeless romantic? It's hopeless romantic until your
car might be effected. Oh well, hey, Melanie, ho's it going?
(05:40):
Well? I'm sorry, it's sojeffic. Did you hear all that?
Because I hope I don't have toexplain to you why that is completely
Oh no, he heard all that. You don't have to re explain yourself
at all. Dude. What okay, it makes no sense, So you
go the extra mile unless unless youmight chip your car your paint. Well,
I mean, I'm sorry. Ithought I was just making like a
simple request like that. There wasjust a little thing to like a walk,
(06:00):
a little bit like it's not thatfar. It's a huge deal.
I cannot believe you, of allpeople, ruf, you are excusing this
because we had tire shine on thereand are you guys? You would you
never make your wife. I've seenyou around your wife. You would never
make her do this, don't you. Yeah? And like he had to
see on the GPS, but itwas like a third of a mile like,
(06:21):
which, again, in a caris nothing, but in heels is
a lot. Yeah. And Jeff, I don't know what kind of guy
you are because we only had firstdate. But I'm gonna assume you've never
been in heels, so just trustme. It's not cool. It's I
got to be honest. I mean, it seems like a little bit of
an overreaction. I mean, likeI did a lot for you for that
day. It doesn't seem like askinghim a lot to get out and walk
(06:43):
for just like a little bit,so I don't damn walk mile Like no,
come on, man, Well,I hope that your car is really
really beautiful and that you can dateyour car. Do you drive a Lambo?
Like? What do you drive?No? I mean I mean that's
not saying it was not a Lambo. No, I mean it's a it's
a Prius. But it's like,you know, bro, never mind forget
(07:10):
the house. Okay, homie reallygoes ten thousand hour let's go. Come
on, we're talking about it.If it had been that damn bro,
if it like a BMW or likea nice Audi, doesn't matter. You
know, you drive slow car washAgain, you're a gentleman. Don't make
a woman walk one one hundred percentwould be perfectly honest. Like, I'm
not even sure that a priest canmake it down an unfinished fro. I
(07:33):
just don't want to take any chances. Or if you're that worried about your
car and get her ren uber orsomething like, just figure it out like
that. Yeah, man, likeyou gambled and you lost from that chance
that you took, and I'm notgoing to look good. Okay, sorry,
I'm not going to drive you toyour door. You got to get
out so my car doesn't get messedup. No, no, so I
look, I don't even have toask, right, Melody, you gotta
(07:56):
date with the Prius, Bros.Come on, there is nothing wrong with
the Prius. Very nice car,are very nice car, except in this
case. You know, he comesoff like a like an a hole.
So um yeah, maybe that's howmuch of an environmentalist he was, Like
too many carbon emis driveway. Okay, Melanie, no second date, there's
(08:16):
no way. Okay, absolutely not. I mean, well, I'm Melanie.
I'm sorry for what it's worst.I'm sorry that we can't get on
the same page about this. Well, you nailed nailed the first three fourths
of the night, so you're sorrythat she can't thinking here, which is
not a good way of thinking.Okay, guys, thank you for your
(08:37):
time, best of luck to bothof you. Thank you, and I'll
work on my closure next time.
