what's going on with this woman? Jen? I gotta know

(00:44):
how did you meet? Tell us about any dates you've
been on, and then what's happening now and how we
can help? Okay, sounds good. I'm at Jen on Hinge.
I think you've probably heard of that. Oh, I'm I'm
vaguely familiar with the yeah Hinge. Yeah, And I'll be honest.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
I thought she was hot in her photos, so I
was like, let's let's, you know, we chat it briefly
and I set up a date. I'm pretty easy to
get a We went to get some drinks and go
to a comedy show.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
Okay, and and let's take it, by the way, on
the dating apps, that's what we're doing here. We're hot
or not on the dating apps. I mean, you know,
you can dig into the prompts in the bio if
you want to, but like, no one's looking at where
you went to college really well, and they may see
if you're hot. Like once, if I see someone I'm
attracted to, then I might read some of the words
the profile, but usually no, So you were attracted to her,

(01:36):
and you plan this day with an activity, even a
comedy show, Okay, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
I felt like it went really well. She you know,
we got along, we have a lot of things in common.
And I even made her laugh. You know that's always
I know, that's always good if she's laughing. Okay, So
everything went really well on just like I can't. She
kind of goes with me now and I'm like, uh wow,

(02:05):
I can't really wrap my head around this one because
I didn't. I don't know what I did, made wrong
or anything like that. There was no awkward moment.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
Yeah, I mean, look at this guy, Look at this guy,
he you know, he matches with a woman. He plans
more than just a drink state, which I'm guilty of.
I'm so guilty of that drink state. That's what I did.
Nothing creative, Okay, No, I mean the first date is
a drink state, but then maybe second day we include
some form of activity. But this guy, like really thought
about a comedy show, drinks. You know he was attracted

(02:34):
to her, Yeah, he said, the conversation, the chemistry was good.
But you have not heard from Jen since the date.
You want to know why that would bother most people.
So let's call Let's call Jen. We're gonna see what's
going on and hopefully straightened things out and then set
you guys up on another day.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
That we play for.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
Okay, yeah, that's great, Adam, Yeah, welcome back. Let's call Jen.
You met on a dating app, you planned a date,
you went, you went to a comedy show. You felt
like the conversation was good, you were attracted to her,
you were excited to see her again for a second date.
But now you can't get a hold of her. She's
not responding to you, you're not answering the phone, and

(03:10):
you want to know why like, what happened? How do
we go from a good date and now I can't
get a hold of this person? Yeah, yeah, I don't know. Yeah,
all right, let's call Jen now? Good luck at him?

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Thank you?

Speaker 3 (03:27):
Hello?

Speaker 1 (03:28):
Hi is this Jen?

Speaker 4 (03:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (03:31):
Jen? Hi? Good morning. My name is Fred. I'm calling
from the Fred's Show, the Morning radio show, 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. Can we chat for just a second
on the show. You can hang up anytime? Yeah? Okay?
Well good? Oh, thank you? Yeah again, I'm gonna take
that as a guess. But we're calling on behalf of
a guy named Adam who says he matched with you

(03:52):
recently on a dating app and you, guys went out.
Do you remember a date with him?

Speaker 4 (03:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (03:59):
Okay, Well he called us and he was describing he
thought you were very attractive, and he thought that he
planned a great date and he felt like the date
went well, and he said that he made you laugh
and the conversation was good and all these things. But
he says he can't get a hold of you now
and it's bugging him. He feels like he's being ghosted.
Is that was that? What is happening? Yeah kind of?

Speaker 3 (04:20):
I mean, look he seemed fun.

Speaker 4 (04:24):
Like before we met. Everything in cool, he's in cool.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
I just okay.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
So basically he said we were gonna go to a
comedy show, right, was fine, comedy, Yeah, but we get
there and it's just an opening like night, and I.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
Was like okay. Then he told me that he was
trying to like perform.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
In it, and then he did. Oh so this wasn't
like we didn't go see Dave Chappelle or something like
we didn't go to we didn't go to that Nate
Burgatesey or whatever guy we we you know, this was
a Sebastian maniscal but like like this guy he was
the comedy show. Oh god, yeah, I'm already uncomfortable.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
Yeah yeah, and he didn't do well like bombed.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
Oh no, so he goes out there nobody laughs at him.

Speaker 3 (05:23):
Well, it was worse than that because people were like
brewing him and heckling him. Like it wasn't just it
was bad, like it was offensive, like in what way
it was like sexist?

Speaker 1 (05:38):
It was racist? Whoa oh cool first date, I'm going
to do the comedy. I'm going to run the chance
that I bomb, and then I'm also going to be
racist and sexist in front of this woman who I'm
for whom I'm trying to make an impression. Wow. And
you said people were booing him.

Speaker 3 (05:54):
Yeah, yeah they were him.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
Somebody was throwing food at him. Wow. That great. Yeah,
let me bring Adam. And I forgot to mention that
Adam is here. I'm extremely forgetful and I'm sorry about that. Adam.
You said you went to a comedy show. You didn't
mention that you were the comedy show.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
I'm here. Hey, hey, Jen, are you doing your set now?

Speaker 1 (06:23):
This is an overreaction.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
Absolutely, I was working on a new set, so like
I was.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
Just practicing my crowd work.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
Yeah, it's it's just my might have not landed.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
It wasn't working with her. I mean, dude, so you
go up there and tell racist and sexa's jokes, you
get booed. And this is all on a first date.
I mean, I look, if you guys were married or like,
knew each other and she knew when she was getting
into that's one thing. But do you realize you embarrassed
her too? Again, overreaction. This is not my fault that

(06:57):
the crowd in.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Her or you don't have a good sense of humor.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
Like dark humor. This is good, Jane. It's your fault.
It's your fault, it's the audience's fault. Look when I
say something, if you don't last, it's your fault. Everybody
knows that what I said.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Regret saying all this when I get a Netflix deal.
This is just like how Jerry Seinfeld and Dave Chappelle
had to practice.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
Before they got really good. So I don't see the problem.
Do you think they took women to their practice sets? Maybe?
I mean maybe they did, but they're they're funny though. Yeah,
I don't know. That's a very it's a very bold
thing to do, especially if you're if your approach is
a little bit controversial.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
This is just normal stuff that people do these days.
I don't understand you, just Jen, Why do It's just
a character? Like I was just putting on a on
a character.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
It's just a character, Jen, Listen to this guy, Oh character?
Why are we playing characters on the first date? I
know someone? That's what I mean for yourself, right, Like
you plan this date, Adam to be the center of
attention and the unfortunately you took a big gamble and

(08:12):
you lost. Because maybe maybe if you had gone up
there and killed it, she would have been impressed. But
I also would argue that a first date is a
chance to like sit down and talk and make it
about the other person, and you made it about you
and it failed.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
I didn't just get there and go up on stage.
That's the thing, Jen, You're overreacting like you had fun.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
I saw you laugh I mean, were you laughing at
how are you we laughing out of misery? Out of discomfort?
Were you laughing at him?

Speaker 3 (08:41):
If I was laughing at Alder and said it was
because it was incredibly uncomfortable, like it is, not because
I thought it was funny.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
Yeah, that's a pretty wild, wild move. All right, Look,
I'm gonna ask the question, Jen. I think I know
the answer. But would you enjoy going out with Adam again?
Let's say we don't do that. Let's say we actually
do like a like a dinner and you know, we
don't do another comedy show, don't go to something. Yeah right,
we don't do another wacky stand a bit. You know,
I'm good. Adam, by the way, a racist and sexist.

(09:10):
I mean, like, why would you Why wouldn't she assume
that you're not racist and sexist if you're up there
doing this stuff.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
It's just a shame she's not sophisticated enough to get
my hemor.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
That's what it is. It's a sophistication issue. It definitely
is a h Okay, I would ask you for a joke,
but I'm I'm not. I'm not going to do that. No,
we really, I'm afraid. Actually, I'm not going to put
Jen through that again. So all right, Jen's not interested, Adam.
Look good luck out there, man. I can't wait for

(09:41):
the special. Let me know where it airs.
