Speaker 1 (00:02):
Ever been left waiting by the phone. It's the Fred Show, Trey,
good morning, Welcome, Hey.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Good morning guys. Thanks for having me.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
You are very welcome, glad to have you here on
waiting by the phone. So tell us what's going on
with this woman Charlotte, how you met? About any dates
that you've been on, and then what's happening now?

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Yeah, so I'm kind of at a loss. Man. You know,
I met this really awesome girl, Charlotte on a dating app,
and it was almost like I could kind of like
feel the chemistry from her photo when I looked at her. Man,
I just looked at her eyes and her smile, and
I was like, wow, like I'm ready to go here.

(00:43):
And so I just knew that I had to ask
her out, and I did, and we met up and
we had a great time, and I asked her out
again and then she agreed and then after two amazing times,
you know, I've been trying to reach out to her,
like I texted her a couple times and like she's

(01:06):
just ghosting me, and I have no idea like what
I did wrong, and I just need some help.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Yeah, I mean, typically people have no idea what they
did wrong. But I'm asking you from the bottom of
my heart to think back on the date and really
you felt like everything was normal. You felt like she
was comfy. I mean, you really saw this going someplace,
no big stumbling blocks, no.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
Man, I mean we were laughing, having a great time
and a few drinks. It was like I thought everything
was good. You know, she was smiling. Yeah, I'm at
a loss here.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Okay, Well, let's call this woman, Charlotte. We'll see if
we can get her on the phone because she's not
responding to you at all, and we'll ask these questions.
You'll be on the phone at some point. You're welcome
to jump in and hopefully whatever's going on we can
straighten it out and set you up on another day
that we pay for. All Right, all right, sounds good,
but I'm gonna play one song. We'll come back and
do it. Hang on, let's see what's going on. In
Part two of Waiting by the phone, right after Sabrina Carpenter.

(02:03):
In two minutes, we're back on The Friend The Friend Show.
Good morning, Thank you for having us on the radio
live and on the app live anytime. Search for The
Fred Show on demand. Trey. Yeah, guys, I'm here, all right,
welcome back. Let's call Charlotte. You guys met on a
dating app. You went on a couple of dates. You
felt like everything went really well, except now you can't
get a hold of her. You've reached out, she's not responding.
You're being ghosted. You want to know what's going on?

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Yeah, exactly. I mean really really hit it off with her.
She's awesome, you know, great smile, works out, in shape,
and I thought everything was fine.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
No, I mean she sounds great, but she ain't calling
you back. So no, I mean she's not. That's what
we're trying to figure out. So let's call her now.
Good luck? All right? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Thanks?

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Hello? Hi? Is this Charlotte? Yeah, this is me, Hi Charlotte,
good morning. My name is Fred. The whole crew is
here from the French show. I'm sorry to bother, but
I do have to tell you that we are on
the radio right now and I need your consent to
continue with the call. That okay if we chat for
a minute, sure, Thank you very much. We don't want
to waste too much of your time. We're calling on
behalf of a guy named Trey. He says he mentioned

(03:13):
you on a dating app, and you guys were not
a couple of times recently. Do you remember this guy?

Speaker 3 (03:19):
Yeah, yes, I remember Trey.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Okay, all right, Well, he really liked you, and he
described you as a real catch. Was excited to see
where things were going to go. But he says, after
two dates, you're not responding to him. He's reached out,
text and call whatever you're not you're not getting back
to him, so why are you ghosting?

Speaker 3 (03:37):
Yes, we did go out twice. Our first date, we
went back to his place after the fact, and it
was it was a great date. That's why I went back.
We hooked up. That was pretty good. Then directly after
our cuare he went and got his guitar, which you know,

(04:02):
that seems like a really romantic gesture, but then he
starts singing to me still completely naked, so wall to
again that should be romantic. However, he's not great. You know,
I feel so bad. He only knew like a chord.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
Or two, like I did not move wonderwall or something
like that.

Speaker 3 (04:32):
Like literally, if he had some wonder wall, I feel
like that would have been redeemed. So he was terrible.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
Naked musical performance, not well rehearsed, or at least not
really self aware that he wasn't that good at it,
and it turned you off on the whole thing, like
you're not.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
It wasn't even he was, And it wasn't even the
fact that like he wasn't great. It was the fact
that I sat there for an hour. Oh no, oh wow,
like the same the same three notes I goo.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
Goo dolls iris, Yes, yes, I mean like the date.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
The date and the hookup were both great, so I
decided to give him another go. But it's like real, real,
real cute. He was atracted after the second date. Like again,
it was great. The drinks were flowing, so we decided
to you know, take two of night one, and as
soon as we finished, almost like on the dot, he

(05:35):
went and grabbed his guitar again, coming I literally though.
I don't know why I didn't. I don't know, But
this time it wasn't just like random songs. He wrote
me a song and it still wasn't great. In fact,
like I don't even know how it's possible, but like

(05:55):
I think it was worse than before.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
Wow, let me bring I had no idea singer songwriter
Trey is here. I forgot to mention the trade. I
always leave that part out. I'm very sorry, but Trey
is here. Trey, what's up with the original performance here?
I mean, did you prepare this ahead of time? Was it, like,
you know, sort of it it came to you impromptu?
I mean, what was up with the customer written song? Charlotte?

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Like I poured my heart out to you, and this
is how you treat me?

Speaker 3 (06:25):
Trey. I'm just sorry that was just a little.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
Too much, you know, and I guess it wasn't very good.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
Yeah, I think that's important.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
I mean, are you is this are you practicing? Are
you new to the guitar? Are you have you been
playing for a long time?

Speaker 2 (06:40):
I mean no, I mean yeah, I mean I I
just started so obviously. Sure you know, I'm I'm not John.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
Mayer for Christ's sake.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
I mean, come on, I mean you know, but look,
I all I was trying to do is just like
I wrote a song for you. I was just trying
to let you know that I care about you. And
I mean, yeah, I don't.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
I don't know if it's so much about me, it's
not so much that you weren't good at it necessarily.
I think it's like you wrote a love song for
a woman and performed it for her on the second date.
I mean, that would that's a lot for most people.
I was. I think it's a sweet gesture, but I don't,
you know, we're joking with you about not being very good.
But I think it's kind of awkward. I mean, it's

(07:20):
a little early for people to maybe reciprocate with those feelings.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
I don't know. I just I feel like we have
a real connection and you know, I really really, you know,
enjoyed being with you, and I don't.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
Know, sounds like a nice guy.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
I can't believe it.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
Sort of wish we had time for a little performance
of our own, but unfortunately we don't. And I'm sure
you don't have the guitar handy, So that's a real shame.
We'll take Charlotte's word for it. Charlotte, he seems like
a good guy. Okay, so he tried to do something
creative in a world where most guys are super lazy,
you know, certainly aren't writing songs for anybody, or practicing
anything or whatever. I mean, can you give them another chance?

Speaker 3 (08:02):
I mean, look, I did go on to dates. The
dates were great. I just I got really turned off
by the guitar. Honestly, like if I had known right
off the bat he had just like said, hey, I
just learned the songs the first time, you know, that
might have set it up a little differently. I just
I'm sorry, Trey.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
You've got a lot of energy tray because I usually
want to go to sleep afterwards, and you're over here
strumming away for an hour, putting on an hour long
solo concert. I mean that's Hey, when.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
You're passionate about something, you'll put in the time. Well yeah,
well maybe it's this passion passion project. It might be.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
I mean, Trey, look, she's not interested. But I think
you're a sweet guy. All jokes aside, and I you know,
maybe a little bit you poured it on a little
thick too soon, But I think you keep at it,
you know, keep practicing, you'll find the right lady who
appreciates your original performance.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
Right. Well, thank you, guys, I appreciated and.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
Yeah, sorry about that, hey, Charlotte, thank you for your
time as well. Best of luck to both of you.
