Ever been left waiting by the phone. It's the Fred Show. Hey, Nick,
good morning, Welcome to the program. Good morning, Wow, Nick,
you already sound just trust it's We've said this before,
but it's always wild to me that we check in
with people and they're I'm like, you know, you think
you're being ghosted. So you call the show and I'm like, hey,
how you doing it? And they're like, I'm great, but
(00:56):
Nick doesn't sound great? What's going on?
Speaker 3 (00:58):
No? Yeah, I appreciate me on It's uh So I
went on a date with this girl that I had
been on hinge and I invited out to dinner and
she I mean, she was like perfect, and when I
met her in person, she was even like way hotter
than I had seen online, which was you know, which
(01:21):
is she's great, but it made me really nervous and
I really want to see her again. I thought, I
thought the dinner went great, but uh, she's she's never
called me back, okay, and she won't respond to I
tax either or anything.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yeah, I mean that's exciting when when you're looking forward
to meeting someone because you're attracted to them on the app.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
And let's face it, I said, the.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Apps are all about it's all about hot or not
until you meet in person and then you got to
engage the chemistry. But then you show up to this
date and she's hotter than you already thought she was. Yeah, Like,
how don't mean to make this worse. I don't mean
to reb this. I really you're being ghosted, as I've said,
but I don't. I don't mean to, you know, but
but I mean, you know, sometimes it goes the other way.
We've heard that too, where like the pictures are old
(02:02):
or you know they've been additated or whatever. So you
show up and she's everything you want her to be
and more, and you were excited about where this was going,
except you haven't heard from her, and you assume you've
reached out since the day tried to plan another one.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
She's not responding. Oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah, it's okay.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Yeah, well look, let's seef we can figure this out.
We're gonna call Marina, the woman that you met on Hinge,
in just a second. We're gonna ask these questions on
your behalf, and the hope is always is that we
can straighten this out, set you guys up on a
second date, and pay for it.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Okay, cool, Thank you, I really appreciate it. Hey, Nick, Yes, okay,
welcome man. Let's call Marina. You met on Hinge. You
were really attracted to her.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
She was better looking in person than you expected her
to be, and you already thought she was gonna be
hot based on the picture. She was hotter in person.
You had a great night with her, except you haven't
heard from her since the date. You've reached out, You've
tried to plan something. She's not responding. You want to
know why? Yeah, yeah, no, you sound very sad about this.
Let's get at the bottom of this and hope for
the best. Good luck, Nick, Hello, Hi, is this Marina? Yeah,
(03:09):
I hey Marina, good morning. My name is Fred. I'm
calling from the Fred Show, the morning radio show, and
I do have to tell you that we are on
the radio right now and I would need your permission
to continue with the call.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Can we chat for just a second, would you mind?
Speaker 4 (03:20):
I guess fine.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Well, I know it's kind of strange, but thank you
for taking a call. We're calling on me haveing a
dude named Nick. He says that he met you on
Hinge and you guys recently went out to dinner. I
hope you remember this guy.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
Yeah, I remember him.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Okay, Well, he had nice things to say about you.
We just talked to him, except he's kind of sad
because he says he's reached out to you since the day,
tried to plan another one and he can't get a
hold of you.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
So what's going on.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Well, yeah, we went out to dinner and he said
some really bizarre things like, Okay, so when we first
sat down, like like I talked about like I was like, whoa,
that breadstick is huge? Like we thrown like huge breadsticks
or whatever they served up, and he said something like
(04:05):
there's such thing as too big though, right, and I
like thought he was joking, but like, second we.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Stuff because I want to know where they serve the
frank and breadsticks. I mean, did you go to Olive Garden?
I mean, where could I get me a freaking if?
I was going to say, there is no such thing
as a breadstick that's too big? In my opinion, I
just have you know, if that if that's the size
of the breadstick, if it comes it looks like one
of those bagyettes from you know, France, then that's a
single serving and I'm eating it.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
Yeah, give me some butter.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Not the point though, so he said to you, He
said to you, there's such a thing as too big
of a bread stick.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Yeah, okay, a breadstick, so like and fine, like he
he wasn't laughing, which is really weird. But then later
on in the date, he like made some sort of
other like comment about how he's pretty average sized and
like nothing special, which.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
What which I.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Thought, like, first of all, like that's a lot for
a date for a date, but like I assumed he
was just doing the like underpromised over deliver thing. I
don't know, it's weird.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
But then like but then he said later.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Like I can't believe I have to say this on
the radio. But after he had some strings, he like
confided in me how he was like self conscious about
the size of and like he was upset, like he
had tears in his eyes. Like I don't know what
was weird. I don't know what.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
I didn't know what to do.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
It was like the whole it was like a beam
on this date and.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
A breadstick makes himself gone. I mean, then again, a
breadstick oftentimes would make most people self conscious. But then again,
I'm really not thinking about that when the breadsticks come
to the table, Like that's not the first thing I
think of is how would I compare? Right? No, no,
So this is obviously something that weighs on him because
apparently nothing, nothing fallic, can come to the table without
(05:59):
some sort of yeah did you order a canoli? Got forbidden?
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Don't you dare? So wow?
Speaker 2 (06:07):
So you struck a chord with this guy like he
he feels self conscious about his you know himself.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
I guess I don't know.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
What I did to make a build subconscious about himself
because we were at a restaurant and nothing was happening
other than dinner eating, So I don't know it was
so strange for me.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
It was a strange.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Yeah, that is that is a very strange thing. And
not you know, not putting your best foot forward. No, no,
pun intended, not a foot but Nick, I forgot to
mention the nick is here. Marina, I'm sorry, I'm very forgetful.
I get caught up in the story and oh, Nick,
why why would we go there?
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Right? Like it didn't take but a few minutes.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
The bread comes, like within five minutes, Like why are
we already reflecting on our you know, perceived inadequacies, Like oh,
like come on, you know, I'm sorry you feel this way,
but like if you know, that's not really selling ourselves,
is it?
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (07:04):
And Marina A, yeah, I'm just yeah, I guess, but
I kind of feel like isn't it normal, like you know,
like kind of everyone's self conscious about that is.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Normal within five minutes in the first date to let
your date know that you may be not.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Pack right right right? No? No, no no.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
And I think there are other ways that I think
you could have made up for it, like if she
liked you, I think there are ways you can make
up for these kind of things.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
So maybe or you know, if it what.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
I'm just the way know you to tell us the way?
Speaker 1 (07:43):
I just I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
I mean, I feel like I don't know. There's nothing
good that's going to come from you immediately telling someone
that you feel inadequate about a part of your body,
because then it automatically is going to lead to more
attention to that thing. Right, So if you are a
little bit less than others, then there's you called attention
(08:05):
to it yourself, Like why would you do that?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Why would you shoot yourself in the foot in that way?
Speaker 3 (08:10):
I oh, no, I I figure I address it and
not you know, it's just like I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
No, that's no. Let her be surprised.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
You know.
Speaker 7 (08:20):
I appreciate the openness, what but not right away exactly
because if that's something that I really care about, not
me personally, but if I did, why am I gonna
go like, however many dates until I find out?
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Okay, But let me see, Mareena, let me ask you this.
So let's say you really liked Nick and it did
get to the phase where you know that is exposed,
you know, contenually, and that's what you wanted. I mean,
I mean, I would imagine that there's a range that's acceptable, right,
(08:54):
And it would probably depend we're being honest, it would
depend on how much we like the person. And maybe
it's like more of a big picture thing where like
let's see what you can do with it kind of thing,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Like, am I right? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Yes, I just like I don't know. I just I
think part of it. And also like I don't think
it's like normal, Like I don't think a lot of
people are that self conscious and I.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Just don't know not to compare ourselves to it, to
bring it up immediately, you know, within five minutes to
cry about it on.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
A first date. But yes, like if once you like
get into that stage, like no, you see where you go.
But like I don't know, I just feel like weird.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
About I feel bad for him, like I actually knew, But.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
I mean, we can't be crying about our inadequacies within
five minutes of a day, Like we just can't.
Speaker 5 (09:41):
Like that hurt before you could tell like keep okay.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
But we gotta hold it together. We got we got
work before.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
I don't care if it's your ex or you're whatever,
you're Feka lang or whatever it is, like you can't
you cannot start you know, or you feel like you
have small hands or I don't know what, you can't
just like start crying on a date. And I'm sorry
for you, Nick, that you feel this way, and I'm
hoping maybe you're just being ultra self critical, but like,
I think that just shows weakness off off the top,
(10:10):
and I don't think that's always It's not going to
be attractive very often ever.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Oh God, he about to cry right now?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Okay, Nick, don't cry, don't cry. Everything's fine, it's good.
No breadsticks are present, everything is good. No one's comparing
anything right now.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
It's all about the motion.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
H Well, see, that's kind of what I was saying,
kicking you're trying to disagree with me, was that I
think I think. I know I said that earlier, you know,
and you said to me, you were like, oh, I
want to I want to hear the ways. And what
I'm saying is I feel like there are people out
there that can make up for stuff with other things,
and I think there are people that have the tools
(10:51):
that don't know how to use the tools. So I
feel like, you know, you could have been okay, Nick,
you just we just don't need to be calling attention
to it is all I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
I can lead with that, He says. I might not
look like the breadstick, but I can do this and this.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Who is.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
The breadsticks alone?
Speaker 1 (11:13):
They were waiting at the dinner. Let me get mushrooms,
Let me get through the salad first.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
I mean, transparency's keys.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
No, it's sometimes there is such a thing as too transparent.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
This man was s through.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Okay, all right, Look, Marinea, I'm gonna ask the question.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
He sounds like a nice guy.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
He's sad, he's really broken up a body he liked you.
Would you consider giving him another chance, maybe seeing what
he has to offer. I mean, he's called so much
attention to it now that it's going to be all
the focus.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
But maybe we give another shot.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
I'm so sorry. I know he's a nice guy. I
just like it was just too much for me on
that first date.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Not enough.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
But I don't know, I'm sorry it was too much.
That's a weird way to end it. Nick, Look, you
seem like a nice guy. My advice to you, not
that you asked for it, but maybe maybe we within
Maybe never do we bring that up. We just sort
of let things happen and see what happens from there,
because maybe you're a very talented guy, Nick, and this
(12:18):
never would.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Have been an issue.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Yeah yeah, okay, I like, I mean, I like to
believe it.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
There you go, There you go. That's so simple. There perfect, Marina.
Thanks for taking a call. Good luck to you, Nick,
good luck as well.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Thanks.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Thanks,
