other way.
Speaker 1 (01:18):

Speaker 3 (01:19):
Wow, and yeah, I just but here's the thing though,
I'm confused because he's kind of ghosting me now and
I don't get ghosted, so I don't know what is
up with us. It's kind of bizarre. But I'm wondering,
you know what happened because we had such an amazing time.
Speaker 2 (01:37):

of this guy now, he hasn't called you. Have you
reached out to him?

Oh yeah, of course, Oh okay.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
But he hasn't responded to my tech.

and you want to know why. So that's where we
come in. We're gonna call Jed and we'll see if
we can get him on the phone. You'll be on

Let's call Jed. You guys, he's slid in the dms
on Instagram. So that's how you met. Exchange numbers went out.
You thought this was a hugely successful date, that he
was Prince charming, I think you said. And you were
hoping to hear from him again. And he's ghosting you,
not calling you, not responding to you, and you want
(02:25):
to know why.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Yeah, exactly, I don't understand what's going on.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Okay, let's call him right now. Good luck, hius Jed's speak.
Hey Jed, thanks for answering and for talking to us
for a second. My name is Fred from the Fred Show.
My whole crew is here, and I got to tell
you that we are on the radio right now. I
would need your permission, your consent to continue with the calls.
(02:49):
It okay, if we talk for a minute, be sure.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
We appreciate that. We get right to it. We're calling
on behalf of a woman named Marcy. I guess you
out to her in her DMS on Instagram and you
guys had a date. Do you remember this woman?
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Yes, yes, I remember Marcie well.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
She described what she thought was a really successful date,
had a great time. She called you prince charming was
excited to see you again and says that not only
have you not reached out, but you're also not responding
to her. So can you fill us in on what's
going on.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
I'm look, he's way too high maintenance for me.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Okay, what does that mean?
Speaker 2 (03:33):
So?
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Yeah, so we talked on Instagram for a little bit
and then we were planning this date. I suggested, like
a couple of dates go out, and she wanted to
pick the day that was her birthday.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
So first date on her birthday.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Yeah, and like she's like she wanted to do it
on that day. It wasn't like I suggested that, and
it happened to be. She was like, no, let's do.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
It on my birthday okay.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
And then you know, so I said, okay, it's a
little weird, but I spent restaurant ideas and then she
sent back, like a restaurant you want to go to
that was like.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
So expensive because birthday dinner. Birthday dinners are special dinners.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Yeah, it's just and I was like, I'm not, you know,
I'm not. I'm not her boyfriend. Oh the burden is
being put on.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Man, don't you have friends or family? Big dinner on
your birthday? Okay, all right, so what did you do?
Speaker 3 (04:25):
So?
Speaker 4 (04:26):
I mean we went and I I did not plan
on spending the amount of money that spent. I spent,
but you know, I tried. I tried to be nice
because you know, her birthday. And she said, what else
do you have plans?
Speaker 1 (04:45):
What did you have plans?
Speaker 4 (04:49):
It's a birthday.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I don't know this lady. Did you play her gifts
or anything?
Speaker 4 (04:55):
I bought the.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Okay, so what happens next? Was that it You're like, no,
I don't have anything else planned. It was nice to
meet you, and then you got out. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
I was like I tried to make a joke out
of it. I was like, I plan to walk around
the block, and we walked. That was that was it.
We parted ways and she said it was the best
birthday ever, and I was like.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
God, it birth date ever?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
For me.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
That's a lot to ask of a first date. Let me.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
I forgot to mention that marcis here, Marci that I mean,
come on, that's you haven't even met this person and
you're asking him to spring for a really expensive dinner
on your birthday. Don't you have other people in your
life who could do that for you.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
I told you it was my birthday, Okay, I mean
birthdays are special and he should have done that. This
is what I was gonna want.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I gotta say, though, if he had suggested the day
and then you're like, well, that's my birthday and he
said no, no, no, but let me take you out for
your birthday, I mean he didn't really have a choice.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Listen. If he can't whine and jine me the way
that I want on my birthday, then I mean maybe
he just will never understand what I want ever in
a relationship.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I mean it looks a little I mean it's not
the best.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Look. Well, I've been.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Whined and dined really nicely before on a first date,
so I don't see why I should settle for anything
less of that.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
But don't you think the guy or the girl whoever's
doing the asking, don't you think that person should get
to decide what kind of data it is as a post.
I mean, if I can tell you right now, if
I on a first date, if someone's like, we're going
to the most expensive restaurant in town. Actually, Jason Brown
did this to me. If someone did that, I would
be like, well, are you into me or you are
you just trying to get a really expensive free dinner
on your birthday?
Speaker 3 (06:30):
No? I wasn't trying to use him at all like that.
I just thought that he would want to do something
special for me for my birthday.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
He doesn't know you girl. Wasn't there anyone else you
wanted to spend it with?
Speaker 4 (06:41):
You know?
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Did you have friends? Ye?
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Well of course I have friends. But I I just
stand by what I want and I don't think there's
anything wrong with that.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Fair enough, fair enough, Jed, Look that's your explanation. Would
you consider giving her another shot? Maybe you guys go
to a more reasonable place.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
No, I'm not interested. This is it's so I hate this,
Like you want me to make this special day for
you at first day is supposed to be special for
both people, and I just feel like, frankly, like I
was like being exploited or something.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
You don't have to do it yet.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I mean, you could have just said no, but then
I get the day you never would have happened. I
guess so he took the chance.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Yeah, I gave it a shot. I I my fears
were confirmed the moment she started ordering. And yeah, I
mean if if this is how you meet people. I
don't I don't want to know how the rest goes.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
You're the one who DMed me, so.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
I'll make sure to check the person's birthday next time
I selected both of you.
