AJ Good morning, welcome to the program. How are you?

Speaker 3 (00:39):
Good morning? I'm doing all right?

Speaker 1 (00:40):
How are you doing great? What's going on with this woman? Natalie?

Speaker 2 (00:43):
We got to know on waiting metaphone here? How you met?
Tell us about any dates you've been on? And then
why do you think you're being ghosted?

Speaker 1 (00:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (00:50):
I think I'm being ghosted. We had a good first date.
We met on the apps, nothing crazy. We went out
for a couple of drinks. I had a great time.
I thought she did too. To the date, I sent
her a hope you got home safe text? To be courteous,
and I got a very kurt response, very short, not.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
A correct response. Oh you got to wow, very short response.
What did she say to you? You were like, hey,
you know, great time, and she was like she.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
Said something along the line of thanks, pretty short, very sweet,
very simple. I hit her up the next day, no answer,
being ghosted, not really sure what's going on?

Speaker 1 (01:23):
Wow? All right?

Speaker 2 (01:24):
And I asked the question every time. But you look
back on the date and you felt like everything went smoothly.
The conversation was good, the subject matters were good.

Speaker 4 (01:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
Really, I felt like we had a lot in common.
There was laughter shared. I thought it was a good time.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Laughter was shared. There was laughter shared.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
It was shared. It wasn't just on one side. It
was shared, which is what we want to hear. And
so you're puzzled and it bothers, you know, as it
would most people. You thought you had a good time
and you thought you met someone, except this person's not
talking to you, and you want to know why. So
we're gonna call Natalie a j. You'll be on the
phone the whole time. We're gonna some questions on your behalf,
and at some point you're welcome to jump in, and

(02:03):
the hope is that we can straighten out whatever's going on,
set you guys up on another date and pay for that.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
All right, all righty, I appreciate it, Thank you.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Hey, AJ, all right, let's call I'm still good, still good,
by the way, thanks for asking. We're gonna call Natalie.
You guys met on a dating app and you went
in a date that you thought was a success, except
you've reached out. Well, you reached out right after the
date and you got kind of a I don't know,
cold response, and then you've reached out since then, trying
to plan a second date. She's not responding at all,

(02:31):
and you want to know why.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
Yeah, I gotta know.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
I gotta know what's going on.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
All right, let's call Natalie now, good luck?

Speaker 2 (02:36):
AJ. Hello, Hi, this is Natalie. Hi Natalie, good morning.
My name is Fred. I'm calling from the Fred's Show,
the morning radio show. The whole crew is here. Did
I mention it's called the Fred Show? I don't know,
I'm Fred Fred Show whatever. But you are on the
radio right now, and I would need your permission to

(02:59):
continue with the call. Can we chat for just a
couple of minutes. You can hang up anytime.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
Sure, Okay, well, thank you.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
I know it's kind of strange to get a call
like this, but we're calling on behalf. Maybe you've heard
this before, but we're calling on behalf of A guy
named AJ says that you guys met on a dating
app and went out recently.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
Yeah, yeah, I remember. Well what happened with him?

Speaker 2 (03:19):
Because you know, he called us and we just chatted
and he said that he enjoyed going out with you
and was excited to go out with you again. He
says he's reached out, uh to see you, and that
you're not responding at all. Now, I guess you were
kind of cold after the date and now you're it
would appear you're ghosting him.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
So what happened? Why are you doing that?

Speaker 4 (03:39):
Okay, you guys have to promise not to judge me,
because what I will?

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (03:49):
No, sure, sure, we promised to give to do our
best not to judge you.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
Okay, yeah, buckle up.

Speaker 4 (03:58):
I know, which is really shallow, but I think I
just had trouble getting past it. Every time that a
J thought something was funny, instead of just laughing like
let's say a normal person would do, he would say

(04:20):
laugh out loud.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
It was in like l like you would use on
your phone. Would he would say l l out loud? Yes,
he would say the thing laugh out loud. He would
say laugh out loud.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
Yeah, okay, so instead of laughing, he would say laugh
out loud.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
Yes, yes, he would say laugh out loud. Yeah, that's annoying.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (04:46):
And I kept being like, oh, maybe I'm like, you know,
maybe it's like a one time thing or I misheard him,
And then he said then he even went to sit
on to say laughing my ass off like l m
F A O.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
And laugh like if it's that funny, then actually laugh, like,
don't say exactly.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
And this is like multiple times. Is that's terrible?

Speaker 2 (05:09):
I know?

Speaker 1 (05:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
A J's here by the way, Natali, I'm sorry, I forgot.
I'm very forgetful. I get caught up in the story. Natalie,
Why don't you Why don't you just laugh if something funny?
Why don't you just laugh like a normal person? I
would like to.

Speaker 3 (05:22):
I mean, it's like a cool thing that people say lol,
laugh out loud.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
Really no, I mean it's something you say in text
form because you can't they can't hear you laughing.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
Natalie did I not laugh at all? Was there no haha?

Speaker 1 (05:36):
Has?

Speaker 3 (05:36):
It was all l o ls and laugh out loud?
Maybe it's just a response. I didn't even realize.

Speaker 4 (05:41):
I mean, there was more laugh out louds than there
were laughs.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
That would be so weird if I said something funny
and then you're like, laugh out loud, I don't like
just laugh like.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
Or don't it sounded cool?

Speaker 3 (05:54):
I thought it sounded cool.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
Kids were saying, oh no, no, they're not. Though they're not.
They're not saying that. They're saying that in written form
only maybe someone will go lo o l but like,
I don't think anyone wi laugh out loud. I'm man, Okay,
Well that didn't sound cool either, And I'm not judging
your girl.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
I'm not and I'm not that cool.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
But even I know that that's not cool, you know, yeah,
to do like, why are you trying to be cool?
Why don't you just act naturally like maybe she would
like that a j if you just like laugh like
a normal person.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
Well, I mean she was the one shoeing her food
with her mouth though, But you don't see me complain about.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
It, you know, to get another date with her? And
now she's making fun of you for trying to be cool.
You're admitting that you were trying to be cool. It
wasn't and so now you now you're coming up with
complaints about her. But then, let's not forget that you
asked us to call her. So stop it.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
Laugh out loud, loud, lap loud. Do you see why
I goes? Do you see why I this is not?

Speaker 2 (07:01):
Yeah, I gotta get going. It is very strange. Natalie,
thank you for answering. I wish you the best. Ah,
don't do that anymore, man, Good luck out there,
