Speaker 2 (01:00):
Yeah, yeah. I met Craig on Bumble and I went
on one date with him and after we matched very
very quickly, he reached out and was like, do you
want to grab drinks? And you know, he was really cute,
so I was like, yes, the day was so much fun.
It really was. We had a really great time. We
(01:23):
talked the whole time, the conversation was flowing, and he
invited me.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Back to his place.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Okay, really good.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Signed right, Yes, this guy.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Gets to it man. Like you know, a lot of
times these dating app situations, they just become these long conversations.
I'm guilty of that. But no, this dude was assertive.
He's like, let's go out, and then he went out
and then he was like come over to the house,
and you were like, let's do it. I mean he
was really controlling the date in a good way. Assertiveness, right, yes.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Very assertive. Like I loved it and I was feeling
it too, So it was nice to have it.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Really, we like it feeling like it. We like it
when everyone feeling it. Yeah, I heard, Yeah, that's what
we're all going for.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
So then what happened, Well, you know, I thought it
was a great night, and I left and then now
he's ghosting me, like, I actually don't know why. I
really thought it went well, and I thought me going
over to his place, I thought that went well too.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
I'm not really sure, and that's why I need your help.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Okay, So you have not heard from Craig since you
were over at his house for the evening.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Right, No? I haven't.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Okay, all right, And have you reached out at all?
Or you've just expected him to contact you, which I
guess I would expect too, since he was sort of,
you know, very very assertive. That was the word, you know,
up until this point.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Yeah, I haven't reached out. I kind of feel how
like what you're saying.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
I I feel like it's kind of up to him.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
So I haven't reached out. Yeah, I'm a little confused.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Okay, Well, let's call Craig and in just a second, well,
place on, we'll come back. We'll do it, and we'll
see if we can get an on the phone and
ask these questions on your behalf try and figure out
what's going on. And our hope is always and it
doesn't happen a lot, but it does happen sometimes. Our
hope is that we can set you up on another
date and pay for it.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Sound good, Yeah, that sounds great.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Let's find out what's going on in part two of
Waiting by the phone. Hey, Jane, let's call Craig. You
guys met at one of the dating apps. I believe
you said it was bumble. You went on a date.
I mean, the things kind of move fast. He was assertive.
I keep saying the word assertive. He was really on
top of things. It's early. I can't come up with
the synonym. But you guys met up and it was
(03:32):
a great date and back to his place and that
went well and everything was vibing. But you have not
heard from this dude since then, and you want to
know why.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Yes, that's exactly right.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Let's call him right now. Good luck. Hi is this Craig.
It is Craig. Hi, good morning. My name is Fred.
I'm calling from the Fred Show, the Morning radio show,
and the whole crew is here, and I need to
tell you that we are on the radio right now,
(04:03):
and I would need your permission to continue with the
with the call. Can which have for just a minute?
You can hang up anytime?
Speaker 5 (04:11):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Okay? Well, thank you, We're calling on behalf of a
woman who said she met you online on one of
the dating apps. Her name is Janey. Do you remember
meeting Janey and going out with her? I do, yeah, okay,
so we just talked to her. She reached out to
us and told us that she was into you and
really liked your approach and that you had a great
date in the nice evening, and that she hasn't heard
(04:32):
from you since and it's bugging her and she wants
to know why. So would you mind telling us what's
going on?
Speaker 5 (04:39):
Are you sure? Do you want to hear about this?
Speaker 1 (04:41):
I feel after that, I'm absolutely sure. I don't know
that I never want to hear anything more, So if
you would tell us what happened?
Speaker 6 (04:49):
Okay, So you know the date, I thought it was
going pretty good. I thought she was cute and you know, funny.
So I invited her back to my place and we
started it hanging out and we were, you know, talking
and drinking, and all of a sudden, she asked if
she could rub my feet.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Okay, all right, that's okay. Some people like, you know,
foot touching, some people don't. I can't say I've ever
asked for that before. But okay, so of all the things,
She's like, can I rub your feet? Great? And when?
What's and what? Say you?
Speaker 5 (05:22):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (05:23):
I wasn't that weird that?
Speaker 6 (05:23):
I mean usually I started with a kiss, but you know,
men don't usually get spoiled in this way, So I said, sure, okay.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
So you hadn't even kissed yet. No, right for the feet, okay, all.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
Right, okay, And I thought it was a little od
all right, okay, but you know, to your point, at
first it felt really nice.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
And then.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
She started sucking on my big toe.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Yeah, okay, you know I saw this, saw this coming,
I did. I saw it? Well, yeah, I just I
had a gut feeling, you know, I'm professional but doing
this for a minute. Yeah, and I could see what
this was going. Okay, So and then how did we
feel about that? Did we? I'm guessing not not great.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
I was a bit shocked.
Speaker 6 (06:07):
And then I became more shocked when she put my
entire flop in her mouth.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Wow, I mean that's yeah, that's I don't have tiny feet?
H yeah, which one is twelve? Boy? Oh boy? I
mean kudos kudos something? Wow? Okay, So then what are
you doing? And during all I mean, are you just
sort of like amazed? Are you missedifud? He stunned? I mean,
(06:37):
what what are you doing during this?
Speaker 6 (06:39):
It's hard to even know because it felt like I
was in some sort of tractor beam because the entire
time she was making eye contact with me.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Okay, wow, and so so you just sort of go
with it, and then it was insane. Did things continue
from there? We move on to other activities or or
or no.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
I don't really know if it's try to go into
that and.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Okay, so it didn't stop you then, so we did
move on, So maybe maybe we liked it a little bit. Yeah,
maybe let me bring Jane in though. Janey, uh, Craig,
I'm sorry, I'm so forgetful. I just get caught up
in the story. I forget the other person's here the
whole time. Wow. So you he was appalled, I guess
by that behavior, but it didn't stop him from apparently
(07:28):
continuing on with the evening and the activities that you
know that that's the activities and then that, but that's
why he's not calling you. It's the foot stuff.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
That's that's like wild to me. I was just we
were about to hook up obviously we did hook up.
I was just setting the mood, like I just wanted
to treat you like a king.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Yeah, you were so upset about it, Craig that you
kept going, right.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
It's hard to go back once you're in that situation.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
But no, it's it's it's you just say no and
move on to a different I mean, I think that's
the thing. Like maybe maybe she was buying something she
thought you would like it, and you didn't like it,
so then you say no, I don't want to do that,
and then we move on to something else. There are
nice ways to do that. What we don't probably do
is then continue on and then not call someone back
because of the thing that you didn't vocalize you didn't want, right, no, right, absolutely,
(08:18):
Yeah you're shaming her for this thing, but you didn't
stop her, and it led to other things to say, you.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
Liked it, I liked the foot rubbed.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
I didn't like anything that came after that.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
I just don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (08:31):
I don't know how many guys she's done this too.
I don't know if she's ever gotten an infection in
her mouth.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
What I mean, but the other stuff, but you hit
it like you did that.
Speaker 6 (08:47):
I was walking around in bare feet the entire time
we were back at my apartment.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Oh yeah, so Janny, this is something that you like
or or something you thought he would like her both.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
A little bit of both. I definitely like it, and like,
you know, I was getting the vibe with the foot
rub and I was like, maybe I'll just try and see,
like why not? And then we ended up hooking up.
So I thought it was great. I thought he was like, great,
keep doing it.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Yeah. I might have thought the same thing, because look,
when we're first meeting someone, we try different things. You know,
it's kind of a process of getting to know what
everyone likes, and we got to be communicative. But I
feel like you're shaming Craig. You're shaming Janey for something
that you didn't actually dislike. It's like you're almost ashamed
of yourself.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
I don't I don't know what to say.
Speaker 6 (09:37):
Okay, Well, feel like I'm just gonna put my foot
in my mouth no matter what I say.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Why did I not see that coming, Janny? I mean,
normal norma would ask him if he wants to go
out with you again, But in this case, I'm going
to ask you do you want to go out with
him because I don't like I don't like this. I
don't I don't think this is cool. You got to
speak up if you're going to shame someone.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
For something, right, I absolutely and like this tells me
so much about him, Like will he speak up when
there's an actual problem? So no, no second date for me?
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Well, yes, there you go. So she doesn't want to
go out with you anymore, Craig, I don't doesn't telling
you want to go out with her. I don't know.
Maybe you're missing out. Maybe secretly you do, but nonetheless
it's it's not going to work out here, Craig. Thank
you for your time. Jenay, good luck to you as well,

I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before.
