waiting by the phone. It's the Fread Show. Hey Jordan, Yeah,
good morning, welcome to the show. It's waiting by the
phone trying to figure out why this woman Rachel is
not calling you. We need to know though, how did
(00:42):
you guys meet? Tell us about any dates you've been on,
and then where things are now?
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Yeah, well things are not good now she's not getting
back to me. But we met out at a bar
actually about drinking, having fun. I thought she was cute.
I asked for her number, she gave it to me.
I hit her up the next day and reached out
about you know, going out and grabbing some drinks and
she said yes, and it was all good. But since
(01:09):
then I just haven't been able to get in touch
with her, and I have no idea why.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Okay, you met in the wild and we talked about
this all the time on waiting by the phone. He's
pretty rare these days that people approach each other and
talk in person and then making kind of vibe check
because the dating apps you don't really know. You might match,
you might chat, but then in person it could be different.
But in this case, you kind of everybody knew what
they were getting into. So then when you go on
the date, you're thinking, I got a little bit of
(01:35):
a head start here, and you felt that there was
good chemistry on that date as well, so you're surprised
that she's not interested in another date.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Yeah, yeah, we hit it off. The vibe check went
well when we met, and we have drinks and laughed
and had a good date. But I don't I have
no idea what happened. She's just not responding. I just
I met a loss of words. Really, I don't know
what happened.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Well, allow us to put your mind into because we'll
give Rachel a call. You'll be on the phone and
I don't want you to say anything right at first,
we'll try and get some information for you. At some point,
you're welcome to jump in. And the hope is always
and it doesn't happen very often. It has happened a
few times. I think I can count on less than
two hands a number of times in all these years.
But it does occasionally happen where we're able to to
(02:19):
sort of figure out what's up and set you guys
up on another date. And that's our hope here.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
All right, Yeah, no, I appreciate it. Sounds great, Hey, Jordan, Yeah,
welcome back.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Let's call this woman Rachel, who you met out in
person at a bar, asked her out, who got her number,
asked her out, You guys went out for drinks later.
You thought the date went well. You walked away from
the date thinking this is great, everything's going very well,
and you'll see her again. So you reached out to
try and set up what I guess would be a
second formal date. She has not responded to you. You
feel as though you're being ghosted. You would like to
(02:51):
know what's up.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Yeah, that's all i'd like.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
All right, let's call her now, Good luck, Jordan, thank you? Hello?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Is this Rachel? Is she Hey, Rachel, good morning. My
name is Fred and I'm calling from the Fred's Show
of the morning radio show. The whole crew is here,
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. You can hang up any time,
but can we chat for a couple of minutes about something?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
I don't I mean, I'll do it. I'm okay, so nervous,
but okay.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
I mean yeah, in fairness, I would wonder what was
coming next to But we're calling on behalf of a
guy named Jordan, who you met in Okay, you know Jordan.
You guys met in person and then went on a date.
So he called us and he told us this story
about how you met. And he says that you guys
went on a great date and he felt that the
chemistry was there. And I'm paraphrasing here, but he was
(03:51):
expecting that he would see you again. He says, he's
reached out for another date. You're not responding, so that
there's a disconnect here because it sounds like you didn't
have a good time. What happened, well.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
He insulted me. I won my entire career.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Actually, he insulted you. Yes, how did he insult you?
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Tea?
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I'm a teacher, and while we're getting to know each
other on this date, he asked me what I did.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
But his response is what get it? Like?
Speaker 1 (04:18):
He starts laughing and says, what's that saying? Again?
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Those who can do those who can't teach? Right? Oh?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I mean, yeah, you don't say that to a teacher, Like, yeah,
why would you know, Why would you say that to
someone with whom you're trying to make a good impression. Hey,
that thing you do? You know, like, yeah, the whole
profession's kind of whack. You know, I've never heard people
disc teachers Like this is new for me, and that's
so wild. You are you got to be a real
weirdo to do that. Yeah, that's very insulting. Fred. It's
(04:50):
like when people like dis radio You've said on dates before,
I don't listen to the radio. I'm like, well, that's
that's cool, because uh, I'm paying for this and with
the money that I made from the thing you don't use.
And then, by the way, when you call me a
month later ask me for Taylor Swift tickets, I guess
I guess radio is not so bad after it, or
like when I take you on another day or a
trip or something, it's oh and buy you a gift
(05:12):
or whatever, and all that money is from that thing
that you don't do. Okay, let me bring Jordan in Jordan.
And I'm sorry Rachel that I forgot to tell you
that Jordan is here. I'm very forgetful. Maybe maybe you
saw that one coming, but uh, why Jordan would you
say something like that? And then why are you calling us?
Like if you say a thing like that to someone,
(05:33):
you have to know that that's a possibility that you insulted.
That there is a possibility that you insulted that person.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Well, I mean, that's kind of a dumb reason to
not call somebody.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Back, A dumb reason. What do you do? I work
in finance, you know what I heard? Finance people they
only work with other people's money because they don't have
their own cool style. Yeah, I hear all he wears
a Patagonia vest and uh and you know, I don't know,
I mean, like, would you appreciate being generalized in a
negative way?
Speaker 2 (06:02):
I know that wasn't even a negative way. Like I'm
not the one that came up with the saying like
that's a real saying. I was just saying it, like, well,
there are.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
A lot of real sayings. It doesn't make them true,
and it also doesn't mean that it applies to everyone
or anyone. And it also doesn't mean that it's something
that you say to a teacher. You never had a teacher, bro,
That's what I'm so lost, Like, why would you diss
a teacher?
Speaker 2 (06:22):
So no, I think it's super cute, So she's a teacher. Cute?
Oh wow, cute?
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Oh my god. Yeah, it's very rude because I mean,
I don't think I have to explain it, Kiki. But
it's like, I think there are people out there saying, well,
you're teaching other people. If you're so good at teaching
other people how to do something, then why aren't you
doing it? But in many cases, people have a gift
of being able to instill knowledge in other people and
they are good at it, and they're choosing to help
the next generation learn or be whatever. So I think
(06:52):
that's a stupid thing to say, especially to someone who's
proud to be a teacher, as Rachel is. Why would
you diss the profession of a person with whom you're
trying to make a good impression and go on romantic
dates with Well, No.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I wasn't even trying to disser, like like you said.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I mean what you trying to say that that?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Oh, I was just saying, you know, that's like you know,
you know, I'm just reiterating saying I heard that you
you know people that can't do teach and.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
You know I don't know you. So you're saying to
her that she can't do whatever it is that she teaches,
that she's incapable of, like achieving more. It's that's not
a nice thing to say. And you don't even know,
you don't know enough about her to even be able
to say something like that. It's an insult.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Oh, it's it's listened. I think it's what she does
is adorable.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
I get her. Oh, here we go. There's a self
awareness issue here, because you clearly don't realize that the
things that you're saying are not helping your cause adorable.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I'm telling her that it's it's like it's a cool thing,
you know. I mean, I don't know, what do you
want me to do, like tell her it sucks that
I don't know what?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Well, you kind of okay, discus nothing. Yeah, he's not
getting it. Like she's obviously passionate about her job and
cares about it. So I would only say really nice,
enabling positive things about you know, how much you admire teachers,
or how much teachers have made a difference in your life,
or or you know how it's a selfless job, or
thank you for doing many of the things that that
people should be saying. But anyway, you didn't do it.
(08:22):
You didn't do that, did you. Rachel would like to
go out with Jordan again. I know the answer, but
I'll ask the question. I'm going to say now, yeah, yeah, well,
thank you for being a teacher. By the way, we
have a lot of teachers who listen. We've all been
influenced by teachers. We appreciate what you guys do. The
fact that he doesn't realize what he said was a
dis is confounding to me. But anyway, Jordan is not
(08:42):
going to work out. Good luck out there, man. Yes,
