Speaker 1 (00:00):
I've never been left waiting by the phone. It's the
Fred Show. Hey Brian, good morning, Welcome to the program.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
How are you, Hey, good morning. I'm doing okay.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
What's going on with this woman Carolina? You said that
you met her in the wild, and now she's not
responding to you. So tell me everything. Tell me how
you met, where you met, and about for many interaction
you've had, and where things are now.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Yeah, well you're right, what's the wild?
Speaker 2 (00:26):
It's actually the FedEx of all places.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Yeah, we kind of met in the line and we
headed off, and I don't know.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
They felt like there was a pretty strong connection.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
With us, and so yeah, I got her number and
we were messaging a little bit and then I don't
know where she kind of just stopped. And I've been
rereading the text and you know, in our conversation, and
I'm like, I don't think I said anything wrong. So
I'm just trying to figure out if something went wrong
or maybe she got a new number or I don't know.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Interesting, So this doesn't make example of you met in
person and talked about a date except the date never happened. Yeah. Interesting,
And I would also I probably said this a thousand
times as we've done this, I would think that in
person meetings or in person sort of approaches or whatever
you want to call it would be more successful than
the blind dates that we're going on, which basically dating
(01:21):
app dates are blind dates because you don't really know
what you're dealing with. But in this case, you guys
were able to sort of gauge chemistry and attractiveness and
things like that in person. So it's weird that you
would meet in person, she would agree to something and
then ghost you before you even do it, right.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Yeah, I thought we really headed off and you're totally right,
like we've already kind of done the first daity kind
of thing that you know, the blind so like, I
mean not really we met and had a conversation, but yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Okay, well let's play a song. We'll come back in
a couple of minutes. We'll call this woman Carolina. You'll
be on the phone as well, Brian, and you can
jump in at some point after we get you some info.
But the hope is that we can straighten this out
and set you guys up on another date that we
paid or I guess, first date in this case that
we pay for.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
For sure, that'd be great. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Hey, Brian, Yeah, all right, welcome back. Let's call this woman, Carolina.
You met in person at a FedEx of all places,
and you thought you had a great connection and good chemistry,
and you guys connected that way, and I guess you
exchanged numbers and you've been reaching out to her trying
to plan a first date and she's not responding to you.
So she gave you her number, but now she's not
(02:23):
calling you back or texting you, and that's a little
bit strange.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Yeah, I haven't really heard from her.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Okay, well let's see if we can figure out what's up.
We're gonna call her now. Good luck, Brian. Hello, Hi
is this Carolina? Yeah, Carolina, good morning. My name is
Fred and I'm calling for the Fred's Show, the morning
radio show, and the whole crew is here, and I
(02:50):
have to that we are on the radio right now,
and I would need your permission to continue with the call.
Would you mind if we ch that for a second?
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Wait?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
What? Okay, well you can hang up anytime. I'm gonna
take that as a guest. But yeah, no, I totally
understand why this is weird. Yeah, yeah, no, I get it.
But we're calling on the radio on behalf of a
guy named Brian who says he met you at fed
X and you gave him your number. Do you remember
this guy?
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Oh my god, oh my god.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Yeah, okay, yeah, I.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
Did not give this guy my number.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
I didn't give him, honestly, any indication that I ever
wanted to talk to him again. So yeah, yeah, yeah,
I remember that guy.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Okay. So what he told us was that you met
at fed X and you guys talked, and he told
us that you had amazing connection in chemistry and that
you gave him your number, and he's been reaching out
and you haven't been responding. So none of that is true.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
Well, I mean.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Part of it's true.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
He continues to text me even though I'm not texting
him back, but I never gave him my number. I
honestly am trying to figure out how he got my number,
And the.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Only explanation I can think of is that you were standing.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
Behind me in line, so he overheard me talking to
the like FedEx guy about like telling the FedEx guy
my phone number.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Or like touching it in.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Oh wow, really creepy.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
And now he called the radio, So yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Yeah, yeah, cool, Okay, so this guy did not give
you his number at all, and yet he's still been
reaching out and the reason that you're not responding is
because you guys didn't talk about that. No, okay, I
forgot to mention that Brian is here. Brian, So did
she give you her number or did you take her
number from some other resource and then just take it
(04:48):
upon yourself to reach out to a person who is
basically a stranger?
Speaker 3 (04:51):
All right?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Well, when when we fail like that, it sounds bad. Honestly,
the way that.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
She gave the way that she gave her number, definitely,
and it sounds like she was like, you know, throwing
it back towards me and I.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Was shooting my shot.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Well, yes, when she said her number, she was kind
of like looked.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Back at me.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
She wants to write it down, Yeah, she doesn't want
her loyalty points, Like what are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (05:15):
I mean, you have to give your phone number when
you're shipping something like that's not she'd probably looked back
because you wanted to know why you were breathing, heaving
and writing it down like you could get bro.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
So I was like, listen, is it crazy for me
to shoot my shot? Is it crazy?
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Very crazy?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Ran no shot?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
People take and hold hold on.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
An initiative shooting yourself would have been, Hey, Carolina, my
name is Brian, and I would like to you know,
can I have your number? Can we go on a day?
Can we get a drink? Can we do something? And
then she says yes or no, and that's the end
of it. But that part of it apparently never happened
because you took it upon yourself to get her information
without her knowledge and then reach out to her and
(06:01):
then wonder why she's not responding because she didn't give
you permission. Dude.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
She but she was responding it, and it felt implied
she was responding to me.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
I was responding I figured out who you were. But
then once I figured out who you were, I stopped
responding because you're a stalker.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I just I thought we had to pick I really,
I thought we hit it off.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
You can't get people's contact information by spying on them
and then reach out to them. That is very unlikely
to work and very likely to make somebody feel very uncomfortable.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
It wasn't It wasn't.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Like that, like she like I said, it felt like
she was giving me her number.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
But did she say, Brian, here is my phone number
and I would like you to contact me.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Not exactly.
Speaker 5 (06:46):
Okay, I'm like wondering what other contact information you have
on me, and this is getting really creepy.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Well, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
I mean, I think we're like neighbors or we live
close by.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
But like I looked it up. But I'm not coming
over your health.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Right that would be crazy? Oh my god, Yeah, don't
do that anymore. This isn't your information. She was giving
the information to the person who works at FedEx so
she could send her return or whatever. Like it wasn't
for your edification, Like she wasn't.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
She looked bad.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Because she was scared than she looks fair.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Oh yeah, no, no, no, no, look, Jail Carolina. I
think I know the answer. I'll ask the question. I mean,
you don't want to go out with this guy, right, No.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
I've already blocked his number during this call.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Yeah. I mean, I think there's such a thing as
being a little bit resourceful. You know, maybe maybe I
don't know, you could slide into a DM on social media,
but you do that once and if you don't get
a response and we're done with that. I mean there
is such a thing as taking initiative. But that would
have in this case, would have been not stalking her
while she was giving her information to somebody trying to
help her with something. It would have been walking up
to her and asking her for permission.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
I thought that was impune.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
It wasn't. So she's not interested. Brian, don't do that anymore.
And Carolina, thank you for answering and for your time.
And Brian, don't do that anymore. All right, I'm not convincing.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
I'm not gonna do that anymore.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
It's not believable, but all right.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Oo chah
I've never been left waiting by the phone. It's the
Fred Show. Hey Brian, good morning, Welcome to the program.
