set up, which I also thinkthat's usually a great way. I would
think that would be a great wayto meet somebody when your friend is who
knows you and knows this person isbeing thoughtful and says like, hey,
you guys might like each other.Because I actually know you that kind of
thing, you know, I don'tknow. This is my good friend,
I know them, this is myother good friend. I know that you
(01:07):

is normally dating, which is atotal wild card. You really never know.
Yeah, I mean, I don'tknow. I'm kind of confused.
Yeah, yeah, things were goinggood, like you seem actually enjoyed everything.
I don't know. Okay, Idon't know. All right, Well,

Good luck. Hello, Hi isthis Jennifer Jennifer? Good morning Fred
(02:16):
from the Friend Show. The wholecrew is here, and I do have
to tell you that we are onthe radio right now. I need your
permission to continue with the calls.That okay, if we talked for a
second. Yeah, I know,I know it's weird, but we appreciate
your time. We're actually calling onbehalf of a guy who I guess you
were set up with named mcguel andyou guys went out for drinks. Do
you remember this guy? Yeah?Okay, Well what happened with him?
(02:38):
Because he um, you know,he described what he thought was a successful
date. He thought that, youknow, your mutual friend did a good
job. He'd liked you, washoping to hear from you again, and
says that he hasn't, so canyou kind of tell us why that might
be? I mean, mel wasreally nice, um, like he's he
(02:59):
he was good time and it wasfun and I did like him. But
it's just it seems like a littlecomplicated. I guess why is it complicated?
Um? I just kind of gotthis feeling that he's just kind of
like looking for papers. You knowwhat does that mean? Looking for papers?
Like I don't think he's from likethis country, so I don't know.
(03:19):
I just it's just what you like, he's using you for citizens kids
like a green card. We'll waitwait can you hear me? Yeah,
yeah, that's Miguel. By theway, I forgot to mention that miguelis
here. Oh wow, why doyou think that? I don't understand.
So wait, because he doesn't likeyou, then he must not be a
(03:43):
citizen like he No, that's notthat's not I mean, I'm just it's
not even not It's like it's Idon't haven't like, I don't care that
he doesn't look like me or anything, but like, it just seems like
it's a little more grated to datesomebody that I said it. I mean,
like, isn't this and you know, Like I don't. I want
to believe that this is based onactual conversation that you guys had. I
(04:04):
want to believe that was he talkingthroughout the date about how he needs,
you know, he wants to livehere or he's not a citizen or something
like that, and we did heclad out say to you that he needs
to get married to stay or areyou just are you just racist or judgmental?
I mean, I don't. Idefinitely don't think that I'm racist,
and like, I'm not trying tobe judgmental, but I know that it's
(04:27):
a complicated process to like get yourpapers and live in this country. And
it's just what story? What isyour story? Wait? Wait, wait
listen. I said, I wasborn in Mexico and I came here when
I was two years old. That'sit. Like I was at the school,
I even I got what the college, I got a job. I'm
not moving for anything. Wow.So you just shared your story and she
(04:50):
jumped to this guy is obviously goingout with me because he needs something from
me in that regard, Like youdidn't indicate that at all. Oh no,
not even what I mentioned. Now, I'm a Docker recipient because I
was born out of country, butI've been here for over twenty years.
(05:10):
Oh my god. So he tookhis story. That's really what it is,
is ignorant. So you took hisstory and then you jumped to this
conclusion and that's why you're not callinghim back. He never even said that
to you. I mean, itwas just kind of like a vibe,
I guess, vibe like it's notlike I wouldn't date somebody that that wasn't
like you know, like me,but I don't. It's I like have
(05:34):
seen things where it's like hard todate somebody that doesn't have their papers,
and if it goes somewhere, itgets like I want to sound it sounds
like some kind of animal right,it sounds disgusting, like this isn't ninety
day fiance dude, Like if you, I mean, that's really bad,
I don't know how you jump tothat conclusion and you say these things.
(05:55):
And yeah, he's he's a doctorrecipient too, which means that he already
has what he needs in that sense, he's allowed to be in this country.
He can work, he was toschool, and he's as much almost
a citizen as you are. Yeah, he's missing that part maybe the quote
papers, but that doesn't like,why are you dehumanizing him? I don't
even want papers. I just thoughtyou were cool. Wow, this is
(06:15):
wild. I've actually we've never heardanything like this before. So you just
that's you just made that leap thathe was using you for citizenship. I
mean, I'm not saying like usingme. I'm just saying, like,
in the future, if it werelike what, I just don't want to
have been more complicated as all.Like I just if dating is already hard
and just like to add other stuffto it, why you would jump to
(06:39):
that complicated I want to try tomarry you. People date people from different
backgrounds, different countries, different youknow, citizenship status is all the time,
and they don't jump to the conclusionthat the only reason that that person
is with them is because they needsomething from them other than their companionship.
Yeah. I don't want to givemuch more time to this. I wanted
(07:00):
to hear you say that he broughtthis up and and gave you this impression
based on things that he said,rather than you just jump into that conclusion.
But that's not what happened. Imean, you can think what you
want to think. I mean hedidn't ask you to go to Vegas and
marry him so, you know,for one thousand dollars so we can stay
in the country. I mean,this isn't like a you know, a
story on the Daily Mail or something. I mean, I don't. I
(07:23):
don't know, and these are yourwords, by the way, we didn't
anyway. UM, look, Iassume no date right, no second date
for anybody here. If you actuallyyou, Miguel, do it, I
thought. I mean, I don'teven know what to say. I mean,
I'm trying to try back. IfI really, I don't even think
I even let anything over. No, you are fine. I feel like
(07:44):
you shared your story, which isan important story and a significant story and
things that you've overcome. And Ithink she jumped to conclusions um really based
off of what sounds like ignorance.But nonetheless, Um, thanks guys for
your time. Good luck Miguel,good luck Jennifer. Want
