Ever been left waiting by the phone? It's the Fread Show.
Hey Teddy, good morning, Welcome to the program. How are you.

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

Speaker 1 (00:40):
How are you doing doing okay? Man?

Speaker 2 (00:41):
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 meet Lisa? Tell us about any dates
you've been on and then where things are now.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
So we met on Hinge and I asked her out
to dinner and we went out. She was even 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 (01:11):
I don't know why.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
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 gonna 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 1 (01:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
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.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
Too, 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

(01:57):
out and set you guys up on another date that
we pay for.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Sound good jolly, it's not the radio.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
On the iHeart app, listen live all morning and catch
up anytime. Search bet a Fred Show on demand and
make us a pre set. Hey, Teddy, Yeah, all right,
let's call Lisa. You guys met, you went on a date.
You thought the date went great, tales so oldest time,
But you have not heard from Lisa since the date,
and you're puzzled. You're disappointed. You want to know why.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
Yeah, exactly. I mean I've reached out to her, but
she hasn't responded.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Okay, well, let's call Lisa and see if we can
get her on the phone and figured this out. Good luck, Teddy, 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

(02:47):
need your permission to continue with the call.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
Can we chat for just a second? Okay? All right,
well thank you? That was yes. I like it.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
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 out to you since the date
and you haven't responded. He's puzzled. Why is why are
you not responding to?

Speaker 4 (03:13):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (03:13):
To Teddy?

Speaker 4 (03:17):
Oh yeah, okay, this is awkward. I mean, Teddy is okay,
I'm not I'm just not interested, all right, I'm justing.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Ah, but there's more of this story though, there's more
to this story. Why are you not interested? Like, here's
the thing. Maybe I don't know if you've ever been ghosted,
maybe you 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 why you've changed your mind about him?

Speaker 4 (03:49):
Okay? So Teddy basically asks his mom for permission to
do absolutely everything.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
Okay, well what does that mean? Like give me an example?

Speaker 3 (04:00):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (04:00):
All right.

Speaker 4 (04:01):
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 what.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
I want to eat?

Speaker 4 (04:15):
And he's like, you know what I need to call
my mom and ask her. I need to call that no,
And I was just I was like, all right, in trusting,
but okay, kind of cute, like he wants to call
his mom.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (04:27):
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.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
And I'm like, okay, I.

Speaker 4 (04:45):
Mean, I'll just give you the benefit of the doubt.
You know, maybe you had plans, like maybe he just
kind of had plans with his mom or something.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
And you know, that was that.

Speaker 4 (04:55):
So I didn't really say anything. 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 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 (05:14):
My mom really first.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
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. But I also, you know,

(05:38):
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.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
I mean, I'm a broadcast man, exactly.

Speaker 4 (05:45):
I was. 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 is
a lot, This is a lot.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
I forgot to mention Lisa that Teddy is here, and
Teddy's been very quiet throughout this.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
Teddy, what's the why do we?

Speaker 2 (05:59):
Why are asking mom, you know, for permission to go
out like we were grown ups. We don't have to
do that anymore.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
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 opinion. What do you talk?

Speaker 4 (06:15):
You ask her for anything, all her opinions before you
do anything?

Speaker 1 (06:21):
Do you not?

Speaker 3 (06:22):
So what that's not weird?

Speaker 1 (06:24):
Yeah, no, it is weird.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
It is. It is weird, like at some point you
have to make decisions for yourself because you were a
grown up.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
I mean I don't.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
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 3 (06:35):
So you don't consult your mom on anything?

Speaker 2 (06:39):
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.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
Right, it's you know you don't at your mound of
the calendar invite Well.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
I mean yes, but that doesn't mean that doesn't mean
that she gets a vote. I mean she has a
right to know where I am at all times. But
other than that, you know, a couple facetimes throughout the date.
But other than that, No, that's crazy, Teddy, you're grown up.

Speaker 3 (07:07):
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 (07:12):
Out your mom told you to come on the radio.

Speaker 4 (07:16):
Yeah, well, in that case, you know, Mama's always now
we love Mama, get.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
Out of here.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
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
don't I'm not asking for permission.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
Sometimes she says something's a good idea, and I'm like,
I don't know. I just like to get her input.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
But why can't 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 3 (08:07):
I mean, I guess I'm realizing that now. I mean
I did again, I'm not asking for permission, it's just
an opinion. You're you're asking all the time.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
This is weird.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
Checking in It's just checking in.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
It's a lot whatever it is.

Speaker 4 (08:24):
All right, Well, next time you're going to ask if
we should have sex?

Speaker 1 (08:28):
Is that?

Speaker 3 (08:28):
Like?

Speaker 1 (08:28):
What would mom say about that? Do you think you
think Mom would be in favor?

Speaker 3 (08:32):
I mean my mom, she's very encouraging of using protection.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
So I'm glad that mom says it's okay she has
sex with protection. Very strange. All right, look, Lisa, I'll
ask the question. I know the answer. It's rhetorical. Would
you like to go out with Teddy again? And we'll
pay for it? We'll ask Mom first and clear it all.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
You know with her this is way too excessive for me.
Absolutely not weird. Yeah, not going to work out.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
Hey, Teddy, look again, I'm glad that you have a
good relationship with your mom.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
That's a nice thing.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
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 3 (09:20):
I mean, I hear you. I think I'm just gonna
I'll just say I need to think about it right.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
To do it anyway?

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Okay, All right, Well, hey, whatever floats your boat, I
guess Teddy right right, right right. We've really we've really
got nowhere here
