Speaker 1 (00:02):
Ever been left waiting by the phone. It's the Fred Shell.
Hey John, good morning, Hey, good morning, welcome to the program.
It's waiting by the phone. And you met a woman
named Isabelle. So what's going on with her? We need
to know how you met, about any dates that you
guys have been on, and then why do you think
you're being ghosted?
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Yeah? Well I wanted to wave the story out there
and see what you guys thought. I met her on
Hinge and I liked one of her photos, you know,
classic hinge.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Right, Yeah, that's how it works. It's like, you know, yeah,
on hand, you hit a heart though for the people,
you know, for those who haven't been on the dating
aps in a while, you pick a picture. I think
that the actual strategies to pick a prompt I hear
it's better to pick one of the things that they
wrote on there, but you know, like with the needs
like letters and stuff. But anyway, and I also have
a theory about Hinde that we can get into later.
(00:53):
I wonder if women don't judge men on which picture
they choose, if they choose a picture, because sometimes there
are thirst traps on there. And what I wonder is
if you like like the bikini pick? Does that get
you less credit than if you like the one where
she's like helping the homeless or something. That's what I wonder.
But anyway, okay, so you guys matched on there and
then what Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:14):
I think it was a picture with her.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
With her dog, So there you go, you know, pretty
game there. Yeah, we started talking, you know, started texting
the app. I saw that she was into football on
her profile. You know, I like, I like some of that,
So I invited her out to go to a bar
and just watch some of the games. You know, pretty
(01:36):
pretty casual date. And we actually had a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I'll just say it. We got pretty pretty soft and
one thing wanted to another. Oh yeah, came back to
my place.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
So old as time, so old. Yeah. Okay, so some
things went down and uh and then what is good?
Where's the issue? Like, she hasn't talked two since exactly.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
You know, I I liked her and I wanted to
see her again, but she hasn't responded to me.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
So sure, what's up? All right, Well, this is our specialty.
We're gonna call Isabelle see if we can get her
on the phone. We're gonna ask some questions on your behalf,
and hopefully we can straighten things out and set you
guys up on another date that we hope is a success,
but this time we'll pay for it.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
All right, Oh that be that would be fantastic.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yeah, okay, Well hang on one second, John, and to
play one song. We'll come back. We'll call you isabel
and see what's going on. Good luck, my man. All right,

Good morning, it's the Frend Show. Part two of Waiting
by the Phone. Hey John, Yes, all right, welcome back.
Let's call Isabelle. You met on Hinge, you matched, you
went out, you had what you thought was a really
(02:46):
successful date, really successful, including a you know a bit
of a body's colliding. Yeah, yeah, plants marching. I don't
know what body's colliding. Is that in the biblical Matthews
song's body is colliding and it's marching be crash. Yeah,
maybe that's what I meant. I don't know. It's surely
satellites crashing. I don't know whatever it is. Anyway, So
it went really well. But she has not contacted you
(03:08):
or responded to you. Since you feel like you're being ghosted?
Do you want to know why exactly? All right, let's
call her now. Good luck, John, Thank you. Hi, sus Isabelle.
It is Isabelle. Good morning. My name is Fred. I'm
calling from the Fred Show. The whole crew is here
the morning radio show. I have to tell you that
(03:30):
we are on the radio though, and I would need
your permission to continue with the calls, and okay if
we chat for a minute. Uh yeah, I guess so, okay, Yeah, Hi,
I know it's a little bit at little crazy get
a random call from the radio, but we're calling on
behalf of a dude named John, who I guess you
matched with on one of the dating apps and went
out with recently. Do you recall this guy? Yes? Yes,
(03:51):
I do you do? Okay, So what happened with him?
Because he called us and said he liked you a
lot and felt like your date went really well and
kind of expected that you as would go on another
date and that you'd respond to him and and all
of that. But he says he hasn't heard from you
that you're ghosting him. He thinks is that true?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Oh okay, why is that.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Yeah, well, you know, we did have a lot of
fun on the date like that. That was good, and
you know, I thought the situation was pretty promising ununtil
we actually because we we hooked up, you know, so
he did.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Mention that that, you know, that happened.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Yeah, so what I mean, first date, that's always little
weird whatever, But it was it was good.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Everything was fine.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
But you know, we first started making out and then
I thought I heard him say something about a baby
or something like something weird, and I just figured I
misheard him, and so things like continued and we went
a little farther and then he started saying like I'm
going to put a baby in you.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Yeah, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Yeah, like more than once and I you and yeah.
So when it was finished, I just like could not
get out.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Of there fast enough. It was so weird on the earth. Yeah,
I feel like ninety nine percent of men on a
first date, and like I'm trying my best not to
put it, like, I'm doing everything in my power not
for that not to happen. How sexy The guy wanted
to make a baby with you on the first day?
What a guy? Yes, no, gros and.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
I mean like we were you know, we were saying
we were using protection and everything, but like it was
just so weird.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Who doesn't first date?
Speaker 1 (05:38):
He didn't even know my last name. Well, hold on,
I forgot to mention it is about the Jonas here.
I'm so forgetful. I forget that part. So you it
was like, you're telling her that you want to do this.
Is it some kind of weird fantasy? Because you also
apparently weren't incapable in that moment of doing that. So
is this that turned you on somehow to like think
about procreation or what's going on?
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Good?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Sorry, She's like, okay, I don't okay, I don't remember

But yeah, I mean, you know, you're in the middle
of stuff and I don't I thought it was hot.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
I don't know, you thought that was hot. All of
all the things that a virtual stranger could say to you.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
What I mean, when you got that good, you don't
know what he might say.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
That's what you know, you know, man, he just got excited,
like and shut down.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Yeah they're not they're strangers, but they're together with their
clothes off, so it ain't too strange.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
We say crazy stuff. We do too, But I don't
want a baby, so I'd be like, hey, I'm gonna
put it. And that's the other thing that it's like
a dog humping, like it's not gonna work. That's how
you know it's good. I'd be like, logistically, I'm a
smart ass. I'd be like, that's not possible right now.
