Welcome to the program.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
How are you?

Speaker 3 (00:49):
I'm well? Thank you? How about yourself?

Speaker 1 (00:51):
To and okay? What's quana with his dude named Will?

Speaker 2 (00:54):
We got to hear kind of everything, how you Matt
about any dates you've been on?

Speaker 1 (00:58):
And then where things are now?

Speaker 3 (01:00):
On the dating app, and I'm really just trying to
figure out what's going on because we had a great date,
like I would have absolutely put the money on having it,
like having a second date, but for some reason he
hasn't texted me back. And we had drinks, we had
some appetizers, and it went down here perfect. So just
trying to figure out what happened here.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Yeah, you go back and think about the conversation and
you know, no weird topics or anything controversial. You didn't
like the guy's tesla on fire like anything like that.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
No, Yeah, nothing weird and unusual like that.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Okay, because I'm trying to protect you from yourself here
right now, which is what I do and I try
and do in part one of waiting by the phone,
and no one has yet to be completely honest with
me about their proclivities. So honestly, like you went on
this date, everything went great. You left the date, You're like,
this guy's good looking. I love the conversation. We're definitely
gonna hang out again. He's gonna call me, We're gonna

(01:51):
go out, Like there was just no doubt in your mind.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
About this for sure, exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
Huh, Okay, all right, Well, let's call this guy and
we're going to play a song and come back.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
Do that.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
You'll be on the phone at some point. You're welcome
to jump in after we get some info. And the
hope here is that we can figure out why he's
not texting you or calling you and asking you out,
and then we'll set you guys up on a second
date that we pay for.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
Sound good, hey, Jennifer, Yeah, all right?

Speaker 2 (02:13):
I was called will you guys met on one of
the apps, and he went out for drinks and some
appetizers and you had a great time. You thought the date,
in your words, was damn near perfect, and you were
sure that you'd see this guy again, that he would
call you and ask you out for another date. Except
he hasn't done that, and he also hasn't responded to
you at all when you've reached out to him.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Right, well, let's call this guy now. Good luck, Jennifer.
Good morning.

Speaker 4 (02:43):
This is Will.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Oh that was fancy, Hi, Will, How you doing? My
name is good morning. This is Fred. I'm calling from
the morning radio show, The Fred's Show. The whole crew
is here and I do have to tell you that
we are on the radio right now. Is it cool
if we show up for just a second on the show,
would you mind?

Speaker 1 (02:58):
No, I don't mind at all. I feel bad because
you thought this was a work call. You're all.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Right, right, Yeah, Well nobody ever does. But we're calling
on behalf of a woman who says she recently went
on a day with you.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Her name is Jennifer. Do you remember Jennifer.

Speaker 4 (03:16):
Oh, you've got to be kidding me.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
I am absolutely not kidding you. But why would you
say that? Because I'll tell you that she reached out
to us and said that she thought that your date was,
in her words, damn near perfect, and she was certain
that she would see you again for another date, but
says you haven't reached out and haven't responded to her either,
So what's the deal?

Speaker 4 (03:37):
I mean, it's pretty straightforward. She's a degenerate gambler, you guys.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
A degenerate gambler. Okay, well, what is that to describe?
How you know that?

Speaker 4 (03:45):
I mean, I'll bring you back to the beginning. I mean,
we met on a dating app which I don't want
to say the name of. We asked, you know, asked
her out for some drinks and we went out and
it was going fine until she pulled her phone out
and literally was gambling the entire day.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
All right, did you go out with Cailin from our show?

Speaker 4 (04:06):
No?

Speaker 2 (04:06):
That sounds like most of my experiences with her lately.
So it wasn't her right, right, what a fine what
a fine wife, you would be so Okay, So she's
pulling her phone out and she's and she's obsessed with
her gambling app while she should be conversing with you.
That's your problem.

Speaker 4 (04:26):
Yeah, she kept telling me we needed to hit in
order to win our parlay. I don't even really know
what that means. I've never cambled before.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
I see, Oh, well, that was nice to include you,
you know in your process. Now, would you have gotten
some of the winnings if the parlay had hit?

Speaker 4 (04:42):
I don't know. I couldn't even get her attention enough
to know that.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Okay, Now I have to ask, like, are you being
dramatic or was the date really focused on her and
her gambling and winning.

Speaker 4 (04:54):
I mean she never stared at me at any point
of the date. It was either at the phone or
at the TVs. And I mean, I can under stand,
up you're betting on basketball or football, but I mean
she was betting on these crazy sports like ping pong, bowling,
anything that she could find at the bar.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
It was super weird ping pong, table tennis. For the professionals,
you know, fine, uh so be it. But bowling, I mean,
of course you can. You can bet on anything but bowling.
I mean you'd have to know something about bowling to
bet on that, wouldn't you. I wouldn't even know who'd
bet on. Let me, let me bring Jennifer in. I
forgot to mention that Jennifer is here. I'm very forgetful. Jennifer.
Woh god, Why why are we not focused on our date?

(05:32):
On our date? I mean, I can see why this
guy thinks that you're you maybe have a problem and
you should call a number.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
I mean I thought it was I thought we were
having fun. I think he's being way too uptight. I
was trying to involve him and make it fun for
the both of us.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
But ping pong and bowling, I mean, so you'll there's
really nothing outside of the scope of what you'll bet on.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
I mean, just because it's not common doesn't mean there's
not anything in it.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
I mean I don't think that seriously.

Speaker 3 (05:54):
I'm just trying to make rent this month. But it's
not that serious to me.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
Wow, Yeah, it's not a big deal, just trying to
make rent so you have a place to live. I
would say that's that's maybe a little bit more. You're
you're relying on, relying on a little bit more than
just entertainment.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
I mean, I wouldn't say that it's just you know,
here and there. It kind of fills the gap between employment.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
So this this guy takes you on a date and
instead you're staring at your app and you're staring at
the TV, and you're trying to figure out, you know,
how to get an edge on on women's javelin.

Speaker 4 (06:29):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
And I guess I can see why it would be annoying.
I mean that that's your that's your issue, right Will.
It's like we're on a date and not only are
you not paying attention to me, but obviously you're like
you have to win this in order to survive kind
of stuff.

Speaker 4 (06:42):
I mean, I think it was way out of hand
and I could definitely never trust her with money related stuff,
especially for rent.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
Uh huh, Well, yeah, your money and you show gamble
it on uh you know, World Chase tag or something
which watch.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
Don't give her ideas, right, right.

Speaker 4 (07:02):
No, I mean, I mean, I don't want to come
across as rude, but I'd honestly go as far to
say at this point that she's nuts.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
Oh oh, okay, gambling please, Yeah, but maybe take a
break for the date or I mean, I.

Speaker 4 (07:15):
Can retroscact you could have done that.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
But I mean, I just thought he was enjoying himself too,
so I figured why not involve him.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
Yeah, it turns out he wasn't.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
But okay, So look, I'll ask the question, will you
know Jennifer did want to see you again, she did
think it was a good date. If she doesn't gamble
during the date itself, would you consider going out with
her again? If she doesn't ask you to borrow money
or for any kind of a loan, would you go
out with her again?

Speaker 4 (07:37):
I don't know. I got to be honest with you.
This just this whole experience has been a bit too much.
I'm now on radio trying to defend myself, so probably not.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
Yeah, smart, you'll have to defend yourself. You know, you're
just telling your side of the story. But all right, look, Jennifer,
it's not going to work out. Well, thank you, for answering.
I wish you the best, Jennifer, good luck, and there
is a phone number and a website if you need it.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
On now all right, I'll t
