Waiting by the phone is next, okay? And that we
had to do ahead to make sure someone answered. That's
we've always done it that way for fifteen years. We've
done it that way because how terrible would it be

then they didn't answer?

Here's Teddy Swims on the French show.

Speaker 5 (06:00):
Ever been left waiting by the phone?

Speaker 1 (06:05):
It's the Fred Show. Lead's good morning, Welcome to the program.
How are you good morning program?

Speaker 6 (06:11):
Huh?

Speaker 1 (06:11):
That sounds serious the program?

Speaker 2 (06:13):
Yeah, it's how I say it sometimes. But what's going
on with this guy, Noah. We want to help you
out on waiting by the phone. You feel like maybe
you're being ghosted to tell us kind of everything. How
did you guys meet? I want to hear about any
dates you've been on, any details you want to share,
and we're going to try and figure this out.

Speaker 6 (06:29):
All right, thank you? So, Yeah, I met Noah through
this indoor volleyball league. We both joined this winter, one
of them, one of the sports like social club companies.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (06:40):
Sure, I just kind of wanted to do something active
being that it was colder outside and uh not for nothing,
but I heard there were a lot of single men there,
so why not.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Yeah, people do that a volleyball else they have like softball, leagus,
you can sign up for soccer stuff, yeah, you name it, right, Hey,
all just guys is like being active. But let's face it,
people trying to get.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
Some Yeah, I mean, yeah, fade right, It's all good.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
Yeah, I'm a little too lazy for that, but still
I gotta go kick a ball the meats that come.
I mean, like, no, I'm good.

Speaker 6 (07:14):
But then you can go you can go to.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
The trivia meet groups, you know, I mean also have
to leave the house for that, but I'm hoping one
day if my doordask driver is the hottest person I've
ever seen, male or female at this point, just whatever, okay, yeah,
and engaging in his doordask career.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
Okay, so you.

Speaker 6 (07:33):
You joined on a door to side note, have you
been getting male names and then a female shows up?
Or female names and then a male shows up? Keep
copping to this, yes, thank you.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
Yeah, that actually makes me a little nervous side note
because it's like, well, then whose account is this registered?
Like why can't you deliver? Who is the person who
actually is showing it? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (07:52):
He asked the guy the other day and he said
it was his mom's.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
Oh wow, like why are we?

Speaker 2 (08:01):
Okay, so you you joined this league to meet a person,
and then what happens?

Speaker 6 (08:05):
I meet a person? I met Noah And it was
after a few weeks there, and we started talking about
getting a drink after volleyball, and we did, and I
think it went really well. So I know it went
really well because we planned a second date, which was
more drinks and dinner and uh again, I see and
dinner and that went really really well.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
So we went back.

Speaker 6 (08:29):
To his place, we had some fun and then Uh,
Noah built the arc and rode away into the sunset.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
Okay, So after two days and a hookup, you never
heard from him again. He never called I mean typical
okay and you.

Speaker 6 (08:46):
And it was more I'm sorry to cut you off.
It was kind of more of like a fade away.
It wasn't just like a disappear. The messages got shorter
and shorter and then eventually stopped. So I don't know
what the deal is. This was not like a random thing.
We like really got to know each other and then
hooked up. It wasn't like one of those things where
we just kind of hooked up and he disappeared. So
I didn't think this was appropriate time for our fade away.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
Huh.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
All right, well and after two dates and all the
rest of it. So here's what we're gonna do. We're
gonna call Noah in just a second. You'll be on
the phone Liz. At the same time, we're gonna ask
some questions. At some point, you're welcome to jump in,
and the hope is that we can straighten it all
out and set you up on another date that we
pay for.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
Sound good, awesome, Thank you so much, guys.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
Hey, Liz, I'm here, all right, let's call Noah. You guys,
you went on a couple of dates. You met actually
out in the wild at one of those like sort
of sports social things, right. You guys were being active together,
which is so exciting and which that makes sense. I
see why people you know, meet that way, especially when
it's cold. Some kind of indoor event makes sense. You

(09:44):
meet this guy, you go on two dates. The last
date you hooked up, you thought everything was really headed
in one direction. But you have not heard from this
man since then. You feel like he's ghosting you. You want
to know why.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
That sums it up pretty well. Thank you, all right, well,
let's call him now. Good luck, Liz.

Speaker 3 (09:59):
Thanks. Hello.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
Hi?

Speaker 1 (10:06):
Is this Noah? Hey? No hey, Hi, good morning. My
name is Fred.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
I'm calling for the Fred Show, the morning radio show,
and I have to tell you that we are on
the radio right now, and I would need your permission
to continue with the call. Can which have for just
a second? You can hang up anytime, yeah, I guess yeah? Well,
thank you Noah. We're calling on behalf of a woman
named Liz, who I guess you met. You were playing
sports together, the door volleyball and you went on a

(10:32):
couple of dates, you remember.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
Liz, I do.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
Okay, So she called us that, Oh well, hold on,
I just wanted to tell you where we're at here.
She called us and liked you a lot, told us
about the couple of dates that you guys have been on,
but says that you haven't reached out since. And so
I'm just curious, and maybe you knew what I was
going to ask, But you know, why is that?

Speaker 1 (10:51):
Are you ghosting her?

Speaker 3 (10:53):
I think it? First of all, let's just start here.
It's insane that you guys are calling me, first off,
and secondly, especially for her. Oh oh she's we We
we did meet playing volleyball. It was great. We got
along well, we went out a few times, we had
some fun. Uh and then you know, uh, you know,
something kind of struck me as wrong the whole time,

(11:14):
and I just really couldn't put my finger on it.
And then finally, you know, the night that she stayed
over and we you know, I kind of put two
and two together and I realized that, you know, this
guy that she's been talking about all the time, and
she talks about this best friend of hers that she's
been best friends.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
With for you know, for a long time, and uh,
all of.

Speaker 3 (11:37):
A sudden, out of nowhere, I put it together that
this best friend of hers is her ex boyfriend. Now
these two spend time together, they go to family things together,
They sleep in the same bed at least once a
week together. Like that's, uh, that's not cool with me.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
So so Noah, you're getting to know Liz. You guys
are going on these dates and she keeps referring to
this best friend of hers and all the different nightstivity
as they do together. And I don't know, like if
I guess if it's me and I hear that they're
sleeping in the same bed and they're hanging out constantly
in family stuff. If I'm being really honest, I just
assume it's a gay best friend. If it's a guy,
I mean, it sounds like it sounds like, you know,

(12:13):
pretty intimate. If you have if you have a romantic
friend or a male female dynamic that's like that, I
would assume you would date that person. Well, it turns
out they did. They did date, but they still do
all these things eleven years, eleven years and so the
eleven years and it sounds like they're still dating. It
kind of sounds that way, but she describes as man

(12:33):
as her ex.

Speaker 3 (12:34):
Yeah, so she's got this guy in her life that
does everything with her. What does she need Noah for?

Speaker 1 (12:39):
Oh my god, what does she need Noa for?

Speaker 2 (12:42):
In the third person, I would I agree, what does
she need Noah for? And here to answer that question
is Liz. I forgot to mention that Liz is here. Liz,
you left Ali the ex of eleven That is a
very honest reaction. You left out the eleven year relationship.
Dude who's still sleeps in bed with you once a week.
You love that out?

Speaker 6 (13:02):
I mean, I mean, first of all, I can't believe
how insecure no it is. I mean a girl can't
be close friends with a guy.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
I mean, first of all, well, well.

Speaker 6 (13:14):
There's so much to say. I can't even believe he's
freaking out about this. It's so crazy. I mean, me
and me and my ex are not meant to be
together and it's not physical at all, but we'll always
love each other. You know, He's always going to be
a staple in my life. He's my best friend for
many years. And we just we tried the dating thing
and it didn't it's.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
Not for us.

Speaker 6 (13:31):
I mean I bet a hundred bucks that that he
would feel differently if Matt Matt my ex if he
was a woman A conversations well.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
I mean honestly, if it was a woman who you
had data for eleven years, I think the concern would
be the same.

Speaker 1 (13:46):
I mean, what we're talking.

Speaker 6 (13:47):
About dge double standards.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
I don't think so.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
What we're talking about here is a is a relationship
of eleven years that was at one point romantic, and
it sounds like it's everything and you're saying, but the sex,
but it's else, like it's every bit as intimate as
it was. And so another person comes along and they're like,
wait a minute, that would be my job, and that
dude's not going anywhere, and you're talking about it so openly.
I guess I can see the reservations.

Speaker 6 (14:12):
I mean, like I just I understand to a degree.
But it's just like something you got to get over.
Like they'll meet, they'll hang out, and he'll realize this
guy is not that, and.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
He'll realize fun the best friend. Yeah, that that's going
to be in your bed by ten pm? Because why
why are you sharing?

Speaker 3 (14:28):
Bay?

Speaker 2 (14:28):
I'm gay and I don't sleep in a boat with
many of them in your bad girl.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
I mean, you know, struggles for cuddles.

Speaker 6 (14:38):
Man, you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (14:42):
It is physical.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
In fact, I would argue that's more intimate than other
things that you could do in bed.

Speaker 6 (14:48):
I meant live teddy bear, you know. I mean, I've
heard this before. Thou like, well, I guess you can't
have chex about the eggs.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
But huh, it's it's it's the level of intimacy though,
it's the lack of boundaries. Like if I'm a guy
trying to date you, and I can see from a
mile away that there's this other guy who's very much
fulfilling a lot of that role, then I might ask
the same questions, like well what am I here for?

Speaker 6 (15:17):
But again, like if it was a female, even if
we dated, if it was a female and we were
laying in bed together and going out and playing volume
and all these things the other then nobody would have
anything to say about it.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
I could honestly tell you that the differentiating factor is
the fact that you were romantic. And I know that
you'd think I'm bsing you as a guy, as a
straight dude. But if I dated a woman or met
a woman and found out that she was she spent
that much time and had that much level of intimacy
and that level of closeness with a woman who she
used to date. That would concern me too. I don't

(15:49):
care if it's a man or a woman. It's more
what are you gonna like? Why is this other person?
Why there are no boundaries?

Speaker 1 (15:55):
That's a run.

Speaker 6 (15:58):
It's my best friend. I mean to be my best
friend and bought my best friend out of the picture.
I just think that just sounds jealous and possessive and insecure,
and you'd be missing out on a.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
Green best friends that don't cuddle with you in bed
at night once a week, I'm told.

Speaker 6 (16:11):
I mean, it's literally like sleeping with my dog.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
I did not date my dog for eleven years. You
know I caddle with my dog, but did not.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
Yeah, it's also a dog. It's not a human being
who you went slept with. And and and I mean
your family.

Speaker 6 (16:38):
Yeah, oncelet with many many many years ago, and he's
still friends with my family and they love him. And
it's like, yeah, I mean, I just I don't get.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
It, and I guess I'm just surprisedly that you can't
see even though you clearly understand this and feel comfortable
with it. I guess I'm surprised you can't, you know,
sort of put the shoe on the other foot and say,
would you like it if Noah had this woman in
bed with him when he was texting you and intimate
it's not sexual, But but there's a woman who sleeps
in bed with him.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
It's not you.

Speaker 6 (17:05):
Yeah, I mean, I guess I can see your point,
but I feel like, I don't know. I feel I'm
a little more open minded in this field. I guess
a lot of people have an issue with it. So
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
I don't know, all right, So the guys that.

Speaker 6 (17:19):
If you know about this, right, I don't know if
it would ever work out if Matt knew that you
didn't approve anyway.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
So no, so Matt, Matt gets the best friend, gets
to make the decision.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
Then, so we ask.

Speaker 6 (17:30):
Matt, Well, he doesn't get to make the decision.

Speaker 1 (17:32):
But he gets a vote in who you date my
best friend?

Speaker 2 (17:35):
Oh boy, your ex boyfriend gets a vote in who
you date next? Well, he's in bed with you. Look,
I mean, if it works for you, that's fine, But
you got to realize it's it's not going to work
for a lot of other Yeah. Okay, Well anyway, look
I'll ask the question, Noah, do you want to try again?
Maybe Matt'll come, Maybe you could beat mad do the
interview prize, go through the interview process?

Speaker 3 (17:58):
My body?

Speaker 1 (17:59):
Oh, well, to be more clear.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
Wow, that's aggressive. That's okay. So that's a no for Noah.
All right, Liz, Look, I wish you the best of blocks.
Sounds like you had a great friendship, and I hope
that you can find somebody who's comfortable with all of them. Okay, Noah,
we got we've heard enough from you. Let's let's just hope, Liz. Yeah,
it is going to be weird. Now, it's going to

(18:21):
be strange. All right, guys, find.

Speaker 6 (18:23):
Another place to play.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
It's cool, all right, Thank you both for your ands.
I invested luck for both of you. The entertainment report
is on the I don't want to argue with you.

Speaker 2 (18:34):
I'm just trying to help you understand why your your
point of view is not really accurate because and the
best part is I told her she was kind of
right too. But I mean, you go ahead and hate me.
I'm a terrible. I'm a terrible human. Go ahead, Kiki,
I'm gonna take it human. I'm guaranteed human. I'm gonna
take a two week nap, you guys, because I just
I just can't with stuff like this. I just can

(18:56):
with stuff like this, You guys like, I try the
very best I can, But I'm not a liar. Aren't good,
I'm not a liar.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
It'll be all right, baby, all right, they get some
love we love for the room.

Speaker 4 (19:06):
There are reports swirling that Megan Fox and Machine Gun
Kelly are currently spinning the block and giving their relationship
another try while co parenting their daughter, Saga Blade, born
in March of twenty twenty five. Sources say they've been
acting like a couple at times, but without publicly making
it official again. Since they're messy split in late twenty
twenty four, they've been focusing on family life and putting

(19:29):
their child first. Despite past intense romance and engagement. They
recently spent Thanksgiving together, showing a much happier collaborative dynamic,
with Machine Gun Kelly working on himself and being being
a supportive father.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
So I love that for them.

Speaker 4 (19:43):
Hopefully it works out for the best now Fred This
is for you, Okay, because I know you've been waiting
on this. CBS is giving fans more family time by

the follow up comes after that Everybody Loves Raymond thirtieth
Anniversary Reunion. It pulled in more than ten million viewers

sitcom staying power. Decades later, Ray Ramono and Phil Rosenthal

set of Everybody Loves Raymond and features on air clips, outtakes,
and interviews reflecting on the show's Legacy. So the bonus
special will air on CBS and stream for some subscribers
on Paramount Plus.

Okay, did you know that in Japan a major Christmas apparently,
a major Christmas tradition is eating KFC.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
What so?

Speaker 2 (23:37):
It started from a nineteen seventies advertising campaign called Kentucky
for Christmas. Apparently now KFC is so popular on Christmas
Day in Japan that you have to reserve a bucket
weeks in advance.

Speaker 4 (23:50):
That makes sense because I always see KFC in random
locations around the world, Like I don't see other restaurants there,
but I always see a KFC.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
There's always McDonald's, Sames, Yeah, the KFC.

Speaker 4 (24:00):
It's always like I was in the Where's Rihanna from Bodo? Yeah,
and the only restaurant they had was like a KFC.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
When I went to the Bahamas for for Thanksgiving, my
parents were there and uh and landlow pop up plane
the Bahamas and a guy landed in front of me
and he gets out a plane. He was like a
regular on this place. And he gets out and he
hands the guys that work at the airport like two
huge buckets of KFC, and they treated him like gold.
And I looked at him and I was like, I
don't know you, but that would have been a nice
thing for me to know.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
That's the way.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
I had a time that in Duncan. People around the
world rope. When I went to Cuba, people were getting
on the plane Cubans going back to Cuba. We're getting
on the plane with just stacks of Dunkin donuts. Really, yeah,
it's like a delicacy.

Speaker 4 (24:41):

are good.

Speaker 2 (24:44):

Speaker 1 (25:44):
The stars of the show Love but Deer blog. I have.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
I have a new It's really not new. It's just
an anxiety that I think has been heightened lately. Jason,
you and I have been traveling a lot lately, all
over the all over the land.

Speaker 1 (25:57):
Yeah, the Continental Unit.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
Yeah, yeah, yeah exactly. And I have a new thing.
It's and maybe it's been there for a long time.
I'm just realizing it because I've been on you know,
commercial airplanes now, like for I don't know, five times,
six times in the last ten days.

Speaker 3 (26:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
But I know what's in my bag, like harry On bag, right,
I know what's in it.

Speaker 1 (26:17):
Nothing is in it that shouldn't be there. But I
have this fear.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
Now I start to like actually sweat in my under
arms when I put the bag on the conveyor in
Tsa and I stand there waiting for them to like
pull me aside and arrest me, like I'm convinced that
I forgot that I had an uzi right, Like I'm
a schetti, right, I forgot about my uzi in the bag.

(26:43):
And then they're gonna like they're gonna be like sir,
and then they're gonna pull me aside and be like
what is this What is this sword doing in here?
And I'll be like, I forgot. I don't know why
I was storing it there. I don't know why I
was storing my sword there and I forgot to take
it out. They're like, you're going to jail forever.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
I all know. It's this new fear I have every time,
and I don't know.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
I don't know where I mean because you usually have
fly little put pupp plane that I fly. So whatever,
I can bring my sword if I want to. No
one's gonna stop me, or I check a bag and
then whatever. But really it's like did I leave a
razor in the thing? And I'm gonna be very embarrassed.
But then I start to think in my head, like
what if I did put a sword in there, and
I just forgot I out of body put a sword
in my bag, and then I'm gonna get yelled at

(27:25):
and I'm gonna be embarrassed, and then they're gonna like
make so I might take away my global entry and
I can't fly anymore ever again. And I go through
this whole scenario every time, or even walking through the
metal detector, I'm like, did I forget about something?

Speaker 3 (27:40):
You know?

Speaker 1 (27:41):
Right?

Speaker 3 (27:41):
Real?

Speaker 1 (27:42):
That is such a real thing.

Speaker 4 (27:43):
And for me, it's always disappointing because the only thing
they ever find is a water bottle. For some reason,
I never think about the water bottle that I'm taking through,
but they act.

Speaker 1 (27:50):
To get a weapon.

Speaker 4 (27:52):
Yeah, I'm like, ma'am sir, like I just forgot my water.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
That's it, Like I didn't throw it away. But they
get very upset about the water.

Speaker 4 (27:58):
I can imagine when they find your rozie.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
And they're gonna be very upset. Well, you're the one
that mentioned Ouzzy, so I think you ought. I think
I told the story before. But I went to Salt
Lake City this year and uh, and I was like
going through a security and we were there for a while.
So I had a big bag. I checked it and
I got my backpack, like my backpack is so heavy,
like why is it back?

Speaker 1 (28:14):
And I didn't even whatever.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
So I go through the security and then of course
they go and then gets pulled out, you know, they
pull the bag out like circause is your bag? I'm
like yes, two of them, two people like can we
speak to you for a minute. I'm like okay. And
the guy looks at me like because he saw on
the screen what it was, and he looks at me
like really, and he pulls out the world's largest smart

(28:36):
you know, the smart what is it? Smart water? Like
they're like eight feet tall bottles. They're like seven feet
tall these bottle. He pulls it out of my backpack
and like it's like they weigh like five pounds. And
he looks at me like really, like you didn't know
this was in there? And I'm like, oh, dude, I'm
so sorry. I'm like I honestly didn't know. But I
was like slepting my bag with the thing. I had
a gallon of water in the bag and I forgot

(28:59):
and then I was like I don't know, it's unopen,
Like it's like I think I paid seventeen dollars for
this at the hotel. Do you want it? He's like,
we have to throw all this stuff away, But I mean,
this is my new fear now, it's real. I feel
I'm gonna wind up in breakers. They're gonna lock me
up forever, and I'll never be able to fly off
the walk everywhere.

Speaker 4 (29:16):
Leave the weapons at home, man.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
We'll make sure I leave the lousy at home from
now on.
