Speaker 2 (00:24):
What we went on one date? We met on Hinge.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
We talked for a little bit on the app and
some texting and we called on the phone and we
went on a really fun date. But he just never
like texted me back after the date. So I don't
know what's going on?

Speaker 1 (00:42):
Okay, And you look back on this date. I always
asked this question. You look back on the date and
you really felt like everything went well, no stumbling blocks,
no weird topics, nothing. I mean, it was like the
conversation was flowing and the chemistry was there, and and
you know, you really walked away thinking, I'm I'm for
sure going to hear from this guy again. We're definitely
going on again.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
No, yes, I really felt that. Well, yeah, it was
kind of like interesting because we went. He suggested a
rage room, so nice.

Speaker 4 (01:08):
I guess I was super excited for that because I've
never done that, He's never done that, and like we
both shared about like some of our past a little bit,
and he was encouraging me to.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
Yeah, like go for it, like rage at what you're
what you've been penting up over time?

Speaker 1 (01:25):
So I I rage? Okay. I mean, hey, hey, that's
an activity that I've not heard of on a day,
but sure, why not? I like it? I like it.
I mean I feel like everyone's like meet me for
a drink. I mean I'm guilty of that. I don't
plan activities, but good. Yeah, like your energy was flowing.
I felt I liked him, and I think he liked

(01:47):
me too. I just don't know what happened to him,
Like did he get into a car accident? Like why
isn't he calling me back? Why isn't he texting me?
Why did he just ghost me? It's weird. Yeah, yeah,

welcome back. Let's call Chris. You guys, you met on

(02:31):
one of the apps on Hinge and you went on
a date. You thought the date went great. You guys
went to they did like an activity, went to one
of those rage room things and you had a good time.
And you left the date thinking that you wanted to

He's not reaching out. You want to know why? Yeah, okay,
let's call him out. Good luck, Kim. Hello, Hi is

(02:56):
this Chris?

Speaker 2 (02:57):
Yeah, this is Chris.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Hey Chris, good morning. My name is Fredam called for
the Fred 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 which out for just a second. You can hang
up anytime? Uh? Yeah, sure?

Speaker 2 (03:10):
What's up?

Speaker 1 (03:11):
Okay? Well, we're calling on behalf of a woman named
Kim who says she met you on Hinge and I
guess you guys went on a date recently. Do you
remember her? I hope, yeah, yeah, I remember. So she
called us and had nice things to say about you
and said she liked you and enjoyed the date. Was
hoping to hear from you again for another date. But
you're not responding to her. You haven't reached out. She

(03:32):
feels like she's being ghosted. What's your side of the story.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
Yeah, you know, I had a nice time talking to
her online, but hook in person, it seemed like she
just had some pent up things that she needs to
deal with and that's kind of like where we left off.
And I was like, you know, maybe not for me
right now?

Speaker 1 (03:55):
What does that mean? Like, could you give us a
little more? I mean, why do you feel that way happened? Well?

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Look, I took her to one of those rage rooms
for a date because you know, I thought it would
be fun and different, like you know, and one.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
Of these places like as a show we went, but
like they put you in a room and they got
old appliances and TVs and glass and whatever you need.
Like you put like the goggles on and you can
just go swinging and stuff with sledge hammers or whatever.
So that's what you guys did. So what happened?

Speaker 2 (04:24):
Yeah, you know, you know, I'm glad we did, because
like it showed me that there's a hole aside to
her and that she has some pent up aggression that
she should probably deal with before getting into a relationship
with anybody.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
What does that mean though, because like the purpose of
going in the room is to get the aggression, Like
that's why you go there. So why why was that
so triggering for you? Though? I mean, what happened that
was out of the ordinary.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
You know, Yeah, I hear you, but it's just, uh,
I saw a side of her that I was like,
this is more than just somebody having fun and like
you know, being angry drawing. It seemed like there was
some something underneath going on.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
So yeah, yeah, what did you see though?

Speaker 2 (05:08):
So we're allowed to like play music and while we're
breaking stuff, she picks like a death metal song. And
then like dude, I'm not even kidding, she started doing
nuts like it's gonna sound mean, but like, you know,
like an animal with Raby's kind of nuts.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
Wow, whoa Kim became an animal with Raby was at
the mouth.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
Practically, man like, I'm not even kidding, Like she was
screaming and like breaking stuff and I'm not trying to
sound mean, but yeah, I feel like she was salvating
a little bit. It got a little messy and it
was not it was not cute, like you know, she
was screaming, breaking stuff and when the music stopped, right,
so yeah, and like screaming like like hardcore screaming like scary.

(05:53):
And when the music stopped, she wouldn't stop. And that
was very weird, man like they had to like rye
the crowd crowbar.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
Out of her hand and.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
Freaky. You know, it freaked me out. And I'm also
pretty sure she was screaming what you feel or something
like that.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
And I don't know who pill.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
Is, but I don't know. I don't think I.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
Want man, Phil damn. Yeah, what it failed? What you deserve?
Your name is Chris. That's what let me bring Kim in.
I forgot to mention that Kim is here. I'm sorry,
I'm very forgetful. Hey Kim, who's phil? And And what's that?
What's with the mouth frothing?

Speaker 3 (06:30):
Like? What shell is my biological dad who I was four? Oh? Okay,
of course I would have tents of energy. And also
like doesn't everybody have pens up energy sometimes.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
Like it's fine, it's fine.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
To express anger than to internalize it and then go
raw inside for life, right, Like you just got to
let that out.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
So I don't understand that.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
I don't. I feel like I have the right to
be angry at my biological dad who loved me when
I was a child.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
I mean, he's a guy with with daddy issues and
a room full of daddy issues. I'm not laughing at you,
but I'm just envisioning going on a first date with
a woman who is who is aggressively and uncontrollably swinging
at things and screaming out her father.

Speaker 3 (07:21):
I think, right, but it's so normal, right, isn't that
what anybody would do?

Speaker 1 (07:26):
Right? It's real. Yeah, it is a very real thing.
But I guess if I didn't know you normal, if
I didn't know you, I might you know, be a
little concerned about your well being if you were screaming
a man's name and then they had to physically restrain
you from from and take the crowbar from your hands
and pry them pry it away from you, I would

(07:46):
concern me. I think I would be wondering, you know,
kind of for what the context was. And now we know. So, Hey, Chris,
she she was screaming at her estranged father on a
first date. Yeah, totally normal, right, I mean, Okay, this
one's hard, I guess because I'm laughing because the picture

(08:06):
in my head is I don't know what I would
do if I were you, Chris, Like, I don't know
how I would First of all, if I heard a
man's name and you're swinging, I would assume it was
an ex boyfriend. And then I'm like, why are we
thinking about him right now? No, it turns out though
it's a little bit deeper than that which we commiserate with.
But at the same time, I can see why if
you didn't know someone well and you weren't invested in them,

(08:26):
you might be like, I don't know if I want
to go down this rabbit hole with you. You know
what I mean, because it sounds like maybe you've got
some unresolved stuff. I mean, would you say that's true, Kim,
that you have some some unresolved issues.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
You know, yeah, I think that part is unresolved.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
But I think I you know, I'm sure maybe Chris
has some unresolved things, and I.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
Do have resolved things that are unresolved.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
Huh.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
That's why you got therapy though, you know you should
probably do that.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
We all have a result. Sometimes therapy is not enough.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
My guy doesn't help you. Yeah, just the guy left
me when I was growing up. Yeah, that mother, I
get it.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
I'm you don't have a crowbar now, You're like, you
don't have any sort of sharp obtexts Berkley.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
I do, like I'm always ready, like if he if
I ever see this mass.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
Okay, Okay, I guess I can kind of see where
where Chris is coming from. But Kim, I feel for you.
I do feel for you, and I want you to
like talk to somebody about this, you know.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
Yeah, yeah, but I'm just like really angry after all this.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yeah. No, that's that's that's clear metal music right now. No,
we're not. Let's not. Let's not. Let's not trigger anyone here.
So look, Kim, I really hope that that maybe you
could talk with someone about this and I don't know,
find some form of resolution or something, because, yeah, moving forward,
it might be an issue for you. Would you say
that's that's possible. Yeah, it's possible.

Speaker 4 (09:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
And here's Chris who doesn't know you, and he's going,
I don't know what you know, what have I uncovered here?
You know he doesn't know, so it's not really his fault.
I'll ask the question, Chris. I mean, now you have
a little bit better understanding. Uh, would you like to
go out with Kim again? Oh?

Speaker 2 (10:06):
No, no, thanks, Okay, Kim shouldn eight for a bit, Okay,
Oh well, hey if you would he could?

Speaker 4 (10:17):
You know?

Speaker 1 (10:19):
All right, this is really unraveled now and I'm uncomfortable,
which is hard to do. So look, Kim, I wish
you the very best of luck. I do, and and
Chris thank you for your time as well.
