(00:43):
It's The Fread Show. Hey Teddy, good morning, Welcome to
the program. How are you? I'm doing all right? How
are you doing doing? Okay? Man? What's going on with
this woman? Lisa? It's waiting by the phone. We're trying
to figure out if you've been ghosted. It sounds like
maybe you have, but we need the backstory. How did
you Meetles? Tell us about it, any dates you'd been on,
and then where things are now?

Speaker 2 (01:02):
So we met on Hinge and I asked her out
to dinner and we went out. She was even hotter, funnier,
hit in person than she was when we were texting.
We had a great time, I thought, and we were
planning date number two, but then she just sort of disappeared.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
So I don't know why. Okay, and you look back
on this date, I ask everybody, but you look back
on this date and everything went well. I mean you
left the date feeling pretty good about where things stood. Hey,
I'm we're going to go out again, Like I'm going
to reach out and she's going to be interested. The
chemistry was there, the conversation was there, and everything.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
Yeah. I mean, like I said, she was funny. I
was actually really laughing a lot, and I was having
a great time and she seemed like she was too.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Okay because the mood's light, you know, So then what
could possibly have gone wrong? I've said that many times too,
and then and then I find out But okay, well, Teddy,
let's play a song. We'll come back and we'll call Liza.
You'll be on the phone. We'll ask these questions on
your behalf, and you know, the hope is that we
can figure out what's going on. It's possible that she
has something on her end and we can straighten things
out and set you guys up on another date that

(02:08):
we pay for. Sound good, Yeah, sound good? Hey, Teddy? Yeah,
all right, let's call Lisa. You guys met, you went
on a date. You thought the date went great, tals
so old at time, but you have not heard from
Lisa since the date, and you're puzzled. You're disappointed. You
want to know why.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Yeah, exactly. I mean I've reached out to her, but
she hasn't responded.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Okay, well, let's call Lisa and see if we can
get her on the phone and figured this out. Good luck, Teddy. Okay, Hi,
this is Lisa. Yeah, Lisa, Hi, good morning. It's Fred.
My name is Fred. I'm calling from the Fred Show,
the morning radio show. I have to tell you that
we are on the radio right now and I would

(02:50):
need your permission to continue with the call. Can reach
out for just a second. Okay, all right, well, thank you?
That was Yes, I like it. We're calling on behalf
of a guy named Teddy, and he reached out to
us so that I guess you guys matched on an
app or something and recently went on a date that
he felt went really well. But he says he's reached

(03:11):
out to you since the date and you haven't responded.
He's puzzled. Why is why are you not responding to uh?
To Teddy?

Speaker 3 (03:20):
Okay, this is awkward, I mean, Teddy is Okay, I'm
not I'm just not interested, all right, I'm justing.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
Ah, but there's more to this story, though, there's more
to this story. Well, why are you not interested? Like,
here's the thing. Maybe I don't know if you've ever
been ghosted, maybe you've never been ghosted before. But he
feels like he's being ghosted. It's bugging him. He kind
of wants some closure if you're not going to go
out with him again, So can you tell us what
happened or why you've changed your mind about him?

Speaker 2 (03:52):
Okay?

Speaker 4 (03:53):
So Teddy basically asks his mom for permission to do
absolutely everything.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
Okay, well what does that mean? Like, give me an example? Okay?

Speaker 4 (04:03):
All right, So when we first matched, he he and
I started talking. It felt cool, and then I remember
right when we started talking, he was just like, oh,
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
What I want to eat.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
And he's like, you know what, I need to call
my mom and ask her. I need call no, And
I was just I was like, all right, in truth sting,
but okay, kind of cute, like he wants to call
his mom.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (04:30):
I just was like all right. Then when we were
trying to figure out when and where to meet for
the date, he made another comment and he was like, oh,
I wanted I want to check. I want to check
to see if my mom, you know, if we're committing
before we're committing to anything. And I'm like, okay, I mean,
I'll just give you the benefit of the doubt. You know,

(04:51):
maybe you had plans, Like maybe he just kind of
had plans with his mom or something, and you know,
that was that. So I didn't really say anything. And
and then my final straw was when we were on
the date and towards the end of the date, I
was like, we're like finishing up dinner and I was like, Hey,
actually I have an extra ticket to this concert the

(05:12):
following week, and I don't know if you wanted to
come with me, and He's like, oh, yeah, sounds fun.
You know what, I just need to run by.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
My mom really first. So this dude, he actually it
was a good date, like you you were going to
overlook that and go out with him again. So he
didn't actually fumble necessarily. But it turns out that the
dude can't even like put his pants on with that
asking his mom if that's okay, which is very unattractive.
I mean, it's one thing to have a great relationship
with your mom. I think that's usually a good sign.

(05:38):
But I also, you know, I don't need to ask
my mom like where to take you on a date
and if I can go to a concert next week.
I mean, I'm a.

Speaker 4 (05:46):
Broadcast man exactly. I was like, this is you know
what now, Dude like absolutely if you need to go
to the bathroom to check with your mom, Like no, no, this.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
Is a lot, This is a lot. I forgot to
mention Lisa that Teddy is here and Teddy's been very
quiet through Teddy, what's it? Why do we Why are
we asking mom, you know, for permission to go out?
Like we're grown ups. We don't have to do that anymore.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
Okay, So just to be clear, I don't need my
mom's permission. Like, I'm not asking for her permission. I
just I like to get her opinions. What do you talk?

Speaker 4 (06:18):
You ask her for anything, all her opinions before you
do anything?

Speaker 1 (06:24):
Do you not?

Speaker 2 (06:25):
So what that's not weird?

Speaker 1 (06:27):
Yeah, no, it is weird. It is weird, like at
some point you have to make decisions for yourself because
you were a grown up. I mean I don't. I
can't remember the last time I called mom to ask her,
you know, if I can go to a concert next week.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
So you don't consult your mom on anything.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
I'm not on No, not as it pertains to you know,
life issues and decisions that I need to make for myself. No,
Like my schedule is my schedule. You know what I
do with my daisy my call right? It's you know
you don't at your momd with the calendar invite? Well,
I mean yes, but that doesn't mean that doesn't mean
if she gets a vote. I mean she is the
right to know where I am at all times. But
other than that, you know, a couple facetimes throughout the date.

(07:05):
But other than that, No, that's crazy, Teddy, Come on, man,
you're grown up.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
I mean, honestly, she I checked in with her before
I even did this. She thought it was a good
idea to find.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
Out your mom told you to come on the radio.

Speaker 4 (07:19):
Yeah, well in that case, you know, Mama's always round.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
We love Mama. Get out of here, d I mean,
there is a difference between having a close relationship and
being a full on mama's boy. And I think this
might be beyond that, This might be another level above
and beyond just mama's boy. I mean, because this is like,
this is like you need permission, This is like she
still runs your life. And I think, yeah, again, I.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
Don't I'm not asking for permission. Sometimes she says something's
a good idea, and I'm like, I don't know. I
just like to get her input.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
But why can't you on her own anything like that's
not an attractive quality? And why are you telling maybe
this is something you do in you know, in your
private life. But I don't know that I would tell
everybody that, because again, I think women want a confident,
decisive guy who has a good relationship with family but
doesn't need to ask for permission to do basic things.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
I mean, I guess I'm realizing that now I mean,
I again, I'm not asking for permission. It's just an opinion.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
Okay, you're you're asking all the time.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
This is weird checking in, It's just checking in. It's
a lot of whatever.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
It is.

Speaker 4 (08:27):
All right, Well, next time you're going to ask if
we should have sex?

Speaker 1 (08:31):
Is that?

Speaker 3 (08:31):
Like?

Speaker 1 (08:31):
What would Ma say about that? Do you think you
think Mom would be in favor?

Speaker 2 (08:35):
I mean my mom. She's very encouraging of using protection.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
So I'm glad that Mom says it's okay sex protection.
She's very strange. All right, Look, Lisa, I'll ask the question.
I know the answer is rhetorical. Would you like to
go out with Teddy again? And we'll pay for it.
We'll ask mom for just didn't clear it all with her.

(09:02):
This is way too excessive for me. Absolutely not weird. Yeah,
not going to work out. Hey, Teddy, Look again, I'm
glad that you have a good relationship with your mom.
That's a nice thing. I might not tell everybody that
I have to ask for her permission to use the
bathroom and and that I run every decision by her.
I might not share that. I might maybe consider not
doing that.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
I mean, I hear you. I think I'm just gonna
not I'll just say I need to think about it.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
Right, and then you got to go do it anyway, Okay,
all right, Well, hey, whatever floats your boat, I guess
Teddy
