Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ever been left waiting by the phone.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
It's the Fred Show. Hey, Corey, good morning, welcome to
the show. How are you.

Speaker 3 (00:07):
I'm doing pretty good.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
How are you?

Speaker 1 (00:09):
Hey, We're okay. Here we are well, we're great. And
I'm just gonna say it, we're great. I don't know
if that's true, but here we are waiting by the
phone is what this is called. So you met a
woman named Hope on a hinge and you liked her.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
What happened next, Well, we went on a date and
we had a really great time. We had fun, and
we actually even after our data and I'm going back
to my place for a little bit. So I thought
things were going really well. And then yeah, I've just
pretty much been straight up ghosted since then.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
Wow. Wow. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
I mean, you know, day goes well enough that you
move on to a second venue, especially if the venue
is your house, that's usually a good sign. However, we've
heard over the years many ways that it is not.
So you've reached out to her, I suppose since the date,
and she's not responding to you at all, not at all.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Okay, Well, let's call this woman Hope. We'll see if
we can get her on the phone. You'll be on
the phone as well. I don't want you to jump
in at first, but you know, hopefully this is we
can straighten out and get you guys set up on
another date that we pay for.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
All right it Hey.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
Corey, Cory, Oh there you are, you're there? All right?
Perfect Corey, let's call Hope. You guys met on Hinge,
went out to dinner, had a good time back to
your place afterwards. You thought all that was great too,
except now you've reached out, you've texted, you've called since
the date. She's not responding, and you want to know

(01:25):
why exactly. All right, we're calling now, good.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
Luck, thank you? Hello?

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Hi is this Hope, Hey Hope, good morning.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
My name is Fredam called from the French show. The
whole crew is here.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
I'm sorry to bother, but I do have to tell
you that we are on the radio right now and
I would need your consent to continue with the calls.
I don'kay if we chat for a second, I guess,
thank you very much. We appreciate that we won't take
up too much of your time, but we're calling on
behalf of a guy named Corey, who says he mention
you on hims and you guys went out on a
date recently. Yeah, all right, we've heard that kind of

(02:10):
response before.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
So why yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
Are you yeah and not not responding to him at all?

Speaker 4 (02:18):
Well, I mean it was nice. Then he invited me
back to his place for a drink, and I didn't
know he had a roommate. But that's not really the issue.
I mean, that's fine. But their bedrooms were just beds

(02:40):
on the floor, separated by a sheet.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
So okay, all right, hold on, So Corey invites you
back to his house. He doesn't indicate to you that
he has a roommate, which, okay, all right, you know
that's a little weird.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
You walk in. Was the roommate there by the way, No,
thank god, that would have been weird.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
Okay, But nonetheless, you walk in and you realize that
he lives in the same room with another guy in
no privacy or girl or whomever. Ray ray huh, Yeah,
that is a little weird. Let me bring Corey and
I forgot you mentioned the Corey is here. Corey, what's
the deal? I don't get it.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
Yeah, you know, it's just kind of that's the arrangement
we have. You know, I have a roommate, and we
live in a one bedroom apartment and where you know,
it's not you know, I could afford to live on
my own if I wanted to, I guess, but you know, basically,
I'm just trying to save money. So yeah, me and
a friend of mine, Yeah, we got a place and
we share a bedroom together.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
Can you afford to get your bet off the floor? Yeah?
That good stars given trap house.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
It's not like a box ring. It's not on the floor,
it's on a box bring. I just don't have a
frame for it.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
But yeah, in that case, well what happened if you
brought the lady home and and your roommate was there.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Yeah, well that's what the sheet's for. You'll be doing
it at the same time, or what's he doing while
you're doing it? Vice versas.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
This is not college, dude, And even if it were,
I don't think anyone would get I don't think many
people will get away with that.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
Well, yeah, it's not like that's the only room in
the house though, Like we have a living room in
like in other spaces, and you know, he's not always there,
and you know, and like I said, right now, I'm
a single dude, So it's not like I'm in a
relationship where I need the more privacy. If I was
in a relationship that moved further than yeah, maybe I
get my own place. I don't see the big deal.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
But in the meantime, you and Hope are going to
have an audience. I'm sorry, you're right, those seat is there, though,
so I felt.

Speaker 4 (04:40):
Like I was at like a third world brothel.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
It just wasn't very romantic, dude.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
I don't know, Man, has this ever caused a problem
for you before?

Speaker 2 (04:51):
Corey?

Speaker 3 (04:52):
No, No, My roommate's actually a pretty deep sleeper. So it's.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
All right.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
So Hope, I'm just gonna asks. It's rhetorical. I know
the answer. But would you would you consider another date
with oh boy?

Speaker 4 (05:05):
Oh no, absolutely not.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
Okay, I might invest in, like, uh, can't you go
to like Pier one and get one of those like
you know, can you go to like Target? Because you
know what I'm thinking of, it's like one of those
like those dividers that like folds.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
You know, like a cubicle, like a cubicle.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
I mean, just go to Pier one. I don't know
if you can go to Peer one anymore? Go to
a wayfair dot com, but none of I have a
better idea.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
How About, since we're grown ups, we just get two rooms, right,
at least some bum bits.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
Anyway, it's not gonna work out, Corey. Thank you for
your time, Hope, I wish you the best of luck
as well.
