Speaker 1 (00:47):
How are you hey? Good morning?
Speaker 2 (00:49):
What's going out with this woman? Courtney? We got to
understand what's going on with Courtney? How you met? Any
dates you've been on? And then where things are now?
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Yeah, So I'm Courtney out in the real world.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Which was cool, not on dating app.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
And then you approached another human like you as a
human approached another human, and then you use your mouth
to speak, and you were like smooth enough that the
other person responded favorably and gave you her phone.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Number in twenty twenty five?
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Can this is absolute unheard of? Okay, all right, well
tell me more about this historical moment.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
So I was at this bar with a few friends.
I met her out on the patio. She was with
her respective group of friends, and we wound up just
all hanging out, started talking, and we actually went to
another bar together and that's when I asked Courtney for
a number, and I invited her out the following weekend
(01:44):
because one of my friends that was at the bar
was having this party and she said, yeah, I'm down,
and she showed up and we had a great time.
I really liked her, and I thought it was honestly,
I thought it was super hot. How she held her
own at the party. You know, she wasn't awkward, she
was really talkative, got along with everyone. And I haven't
(02:06):
talked to her since. That was the last time it
was at the party.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
So this wasn't when you invited her out to this party.
This was not the first time you had met because
we've heard over the years about people who are like,
I know, a great first date idea, let's meet a
bunch of strangers, and that's not what you did here. Like,
you guys already kind of had established a baseline with
one another before you did that.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Oh yeah, initially when I first met her, I mean
we had hung out all night, you know, since been
at the bron and Okay, I figured that she'd enjoy
the party because it was being thrown by one of
the guys that was there.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Yeah, that's a big difference, right, that's a huge difference.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
So you guys already kind of had established that you
knew each other and the vibe and whatever. All right,
So you haven't heard from this woman since what was
really the second date and since you went to this
party together. So let's call Courtney. We're gonna see if
we can get her on the phone. We're going to
ask these questions on your behalf ex of what You're
welcome to jump in on the call and hopefully there's
something going on that we could straighten out and then
set you guys up on another date that we paid
(02:58):
for sound good or two of waiting by the phone.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Hey, Owen, Yeah, all right, welcome back. Let's call Courtney.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
You guys, you met out, so you met in person
a couple of groups kind of matched at a bar
or whatever. You started talking, got her number, and then decided, Hey,
I'm going to a party with my friends, you know
this following weekend after we met.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
You want to go with us?
Speaker 2 (03:20):
She said yes, and you felt like she did, you know,
really well with your friends and kind of fit in.
Except you have not heard from Courtney since that date,
and you want to know why.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
That's right, all right, let's call her now. Good luck, Owen, cool,
thank you for.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Hello.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Hi is his Courtney? Hi Courtney, good morning. My name
is Fred. I'm calling for the Friend Show. The whole
crew is here. I have to tell you that we
are on the radio. It's a morning radio show. We
are on the radio, and I would need your permission
to continue with the call. Can we you have for
a minute?
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Wait what.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Can we talk on the show for a little bit.
You can hang up anytime. I just you got to
say yes, yes, perfect, Thank you. I know it's a
little bit strange, but we're calling on behalf of a
guy named Owen who I guess you met him out
one night with some friends and then recently went to
a party together.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Do you remember this guy?
Speaker 4 (04:15):
Yeah? Yeah, okay, Well.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
What happened with him?
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Because he called us and we just spoke with him,
and he, you know, told us kind of how you
met and that you guys had gone out and he
liked you a lot and was hoping to hear from
you again. And he says he can't get a hold
of you. Now we had we had no issue. So
what happened? Why don't you want to talk to this guy?
Speaker 4 (04:33):
That's funny? Yeah, I mean he's like he was cool.
We met, like you know, we were both out with
our friends and everything, and yeah it was cool. And
he invited me to this party and I went, but
I lost him like halfway through and I couldn't find him,
(04:57):
and I was, you know, I even other people. I'm like,
have you seen in and like no one had, And
so I texted him and he messaged me back and
he was like I'm in bed.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
What right?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Like he like found a bedroom and he was like
come here there or like what I mean, Like, what
what do you mean? It was like, where where was
this bed that he was in?
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Like he was at home?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
He left you at a so he irish exited a
party that he invited you two with people that you
didn't know, and I just went home and didn't say goodbye.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Yeah, like he said, he sound like what do you say?
It was like the perfect opportunity to leave, so he left.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Well hold on, Oh well that's Owen by the way.
I sorry, Courtney, I forgot to mention that Owen is here.
You also forgot to mention you left her at the
party with people she had just met that were your friends.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
I did not read her at the party. I didn't
just reave he at the party.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Well, you were in bed at a different location, and
so my definition you left her somewhere right right. So
you call me crazy here, but I'm gonna take a
leap and say you left her somewhere.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
No, she was having a good time at the party.
I was ready to leap. I was tired. I wanted
to go home.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Okay, But did you have that conversation where you like, hey,
I'm ready to get out of here here. Here's the
conversation that you should have had that. I don't think
you had and I'll be both characters. Okay, so I'm owing, Hey, Courtney,
I really I'm tired. I think I might leave, and
Courtney goes, I'm I'm having a really good time. Your
friendship so nice, and I'm owing again. You should stay
(06:39):
at the party then and have a great time if
you want to, like, you don't have to leave, but
I need to go home. Okay, Well, I'm gonna stay
and hang out with your friends and I'll call you tomorrow. Okay, great, Courtney,
you have a great night. That would have been a
nice exchange. Now I'm guessing that that's the part we missed.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Okay, but do you.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Not know people who irish exerit?
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Yes, I do. I do when I looking at him
when I look. I am a professional, I am a
PhD in this.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
But when I bring someone to an event, I either
tell them I'm going to do this and they come
with me, or they choose to stay or go. Like
it's I have to inform the person who I who
I brought to the event that I'm doing this. I
can't irish exit the date, especially if I expect to
see him again.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Courtney, were you having a good time?
Speaker 4 (07:23):
If I was having a good time on like a
dinner date. Would you leave that great? Because I was
having a good time at dinner.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Yeah, but you were talking to the people that were there,
you were having a good time. I didn't want to
prohibit you from continuing to have a good time. I
was just ready to go home.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
And that was it.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
I mean to communicate, like say that then something like
you said that out like the voo. Yeah, I mean, yeah,
what if you said that at the zoo?
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Man? Like you guys are looking at the elephants, but
I gotta go to the bathroom, and before long it's
just her looking at the elephants alone.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
It's a terrible story.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
I didn't want to keep you continuing to have a
good night.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
I was ready to go.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
We're adults. I texted you right away when you texted me, like, bro,
I didn't just completely disappear.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Okay when you leave? Yeah, yeah, he's not understanding. No
you're not.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
And we're missing we're missing this step about communicating with
the person who you were supposed to be spending the
evening with. But okay, look, Courtney, I'll ask the question.
I think I know the answer. But would you I
think he could have easily said, oh my god, my bad.
I don't know. I thought you were having a good
time and I bounced. I'm so sorry that we could
have taken that path, but we didn't. So would you
like to go out with Owen again? We'll pay for it,
(08:36):
and we can't promise you he'll stay for the whole date,
but maybe.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Look, i'd say he did the bare minimum, but he
I don't know. Somehow he did less than that, So
I'm like rolling with no own.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
You could have, you might have been able to fix this,
but you didn't. So I'm sorry it's not going to
work out. Courtney, thank you for your time, Owe invested.
Luck to you as well.
