Speaker 1 (00:01):
I've ever been left waiting by the phone. It's the
Fred Show. Holly, good morning, Welcome to the show. How
are you?
Speaker 2 (00:08):
I'm okay.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
How are you guys here?
Speaker 1 (00:10):
She's okay. Well, I can see why you might be
okay because you're worried about this guy named Steve. Yeah,
you think posting you. So we got to hear all
the kind of the backstory here. How did you guys meet?
How many dates have you been on? How did those go?
And then what's going on now? Fell us in, Well,
we met.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
On the apps and we had like a lot of
back and forth, like a lot of banter and stuff.
So like we just we went out for dinner, but
we had a lot of talking before. So I felt
like I kind of knew him. I don't know, like
I thought for sure I was going to hear from
him again, but I didn't. And then like I reached
out not you know, I didn't text like a crazy person,
but I just reached out no answer, and so I'm like, well,
(00:49):
what's going on? You know, I don't know. I just
want to know, Like I want to know what's because
I don't get ghosted, Like it just doesn't happen to me.
So I'm like, what went on?
Speaker 1 (00:59):
What ne did we? None of us are on here
and get ghosted. It's impossible, never happen. But Holly certainly
doesn't get ghosted. And so really though, you look back
on this date and you thought everything went really well,
and you we attracted to this guy Steve, and you
you know, you're thinking maybe this is going someplace, except
he did reach out to you. He's left you on red.
That's annoying. You want to know why.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Yeah, definitely, it definitely seemed like we're gonna go on end.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
So I was just like, yeah, well, let me play
one song. We'll come back in like two minutes, and
we'll call this guy Steve, see if we can get
him on the phone. You'll be on the phone too.
We'll ask some questions and hopefully we can straighten this
out and set you guys up on another date and
pay for that sound good? Yes, thank you. You've got
to hear what happens next. Part two of waiting about
the phone After Ariana, it's two minutes away. The Fread
(01:44):
Show's on Ariana Grande. It's the Fread Show. Good morning,
thanks for waking up with us. The entertainment report five
hundred and fifty bucks. The show vis Shelley. All coming up, Holly,
welcome back.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
All right, let's call this guy, Steve. You met on
one of the apps. You chatted, you went on a date.
You thought the date went great, it was like a
dinner date. I guess, conversation was good. You were attracted
to him, everything was flowing. He has not reached out
to you since the date you have texted him. He
has not responded. You want to know why you're being ghosted?
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Yeah, definitely right, let's call him now. Good luck, Holly, Okay,
thank you?
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Well. Hi, as is Steve, Hey Steve, good morning. My
name is Fred. I'm calling from the Fred's Show, the
morning radio show. The whole crew is here, and I
do 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 at for just a
second on the air? Uh whoa, yeah, Okay, yeah, I know.
(02:43):
So it kind of is a woe. You know, you
can call it from a radio show on the spot
or whatever. You can hang up anytime you want to.
But we're calling on behalf of a woman who says
she met you on a dating app and you guys
recently went out. Her name is Holly. Do you remember Holly? Yes?
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Yeah, yeah, I know Holly.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Okay, yeah, So she described to us what she thought was,
you know, a great date that you guys went on
after chatting a bit on the apps, I guess, And
she said she was attracted to you and thought everything
went well. But you, I guess, have not reached out
to her for another date. You haven't responded to her either,
so she feels like she's being ghosted. What's going on?
What's your version of the story.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Yeah, so yeah, yeah, like you said, mom, the abs
frount to dinner, but like after dinner, you know, one
thing led to another and you know, we hooked up
and you know she.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Liked that part. Nowt like she didn't INCLI mean that part? Okay,
that's shocking.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Well things, I mean, I thought things were going okay,
things are going all right. I liked where we were heading.
And then next day I get I get a text
from Holly asking if I could get text tested, and
I'm like, wait, what.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Yes, why for that? Maybe I don't yeah right, I'm
not sure what the parameters where we don't have to
get into the specifics, but like that that's a startling
text to get the next morning, like, hey, heads up,
can you see if everything's oh boy.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Yeah, that's the thing that happened before that.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Yeah, right, concerned about that. You might address that ahead
of time, but okay, all right, sure, thank you.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
So when I after I she didn't get tested herself.
I mean, she was saying that she hadn't hooked up
with someone a long time, and I'm like, cool, but
I have no way of knowing if that's true. And
I don't really think that's an excuse, like would you
want to also get tested with me? Like I don't know,
just in case, Like like I I, I just think
(04:42):
it's really weird.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
And that one guy a couple of weeks ago that
they wanted to just swing by the clinic on their
first day, you know, he picked her up and then
they swung by the He was like, let's just go, yeah,
let's just pull through real quick and get you know,
because you never know. And this woman they hadn't even
had a drink yet. Huh. So that by itself, Steve
was that's like I don't want anything to do with this,
(05:03):
Like this seems weird to me.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Yeah, this is this is just get me to pick
you know, like if she wants to know, then she
can just go herself, right.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I mean, let me bring I forgot to mention that
Holly is here. I forgot to I'm just so forgetful.
I always forget these things. Holly. It is a weird
request after the fact, but it's not a weird request
by any means. I mean, I guess I could see
you hooked up, you liked it, you think it'll happen again,
so you're like, hey, this is going to keep going,
then we may as well, you know, get this out
(05:32):
of the way. Is it was that kind of what
where your head was?
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Yeah, I don't understand my request is weird.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Like it's perfectly okay to get to have someone to
get tested, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
But like I think.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
I didn't know we were going to hook up that night.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
I didn't know that was going to happen, and I'm like, oh,
this is probably a good idea.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Yeah, But I if I hooked up with somebody and
the next morning I get a text, hey can you
go get tested? Like I'm looking all over my body,
I'm looking at every crevice every inch. I'm like, what, why? Why? Now? Why?
Like what, He's the only.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Person I've been within a year, So I just figured, well,
he's the one to go because like I there's no
I am there's no chance.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Because I I like haven't hooked up with anybody.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Well, first of all, if you want that, then you
go get it. You both go get If that's what
you're interested in, and you have nothing to worry about,
then I suppose you go. You both go do that.
But at the same time, like the next morning, I
would be like, what does she think she's got that
she gave me? I don't know. It's just the timing's
a little bit strange.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
That's amazing. I mean, whatever, why something that happens before normally, No,
it's it's through me that you texted me that the
next morning and that like look, I think.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
That we were going to hook up, Like I didn't
have that, Like that wasn't our plan, Like it just
sort of happened.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
And then afterwards like.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Oh, like on the schedule, it wasn't on the Google calendar. No.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Well, I mean like yeah, I mean, I'm not going
to get tested unless someone sends me a calendar invite,
that's for sure. No, look, it's a fair request. I
think it's just kind of the way in which sounds like,
you know, the urgency the next morning, it's just a
little bit discouraging, like I don't, I wouldn't you kind
of feel like Kiki, like what what? Why do I
need to like what may have happened?
Speaker 4 (07:19):
You gave it up already, so like you know, like
I understand wanting to get tested, but like the next
like the very next morning, you thought that was appropriate.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
That might be like a phone call or like an
in person conversation like hey, you know, I had a
great time and we maybe are doing this now, would
you mind? You know, this is kind of how I
normally do things. I mean, it's not uncommon at all
when people switch partners or get into a new relationship
to go through that process.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Like that's just like a pretty standard thing to do,
Like I don't even know why it's that big of
a deal, like you just do it.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
But he was at the sort of recency of it
all because it's also kind of like, well, we already
did it, so if there's something I need to know about,
it's a little late for that. Potentially you already got.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
It well, but I told him, like, I haven't been
with anybody in a year, so like, I don't get it.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Whatever, whatever, Steve, this is not the worst thing we've heard.
I mean, it sounds like her sort of the process
here was a little bit off and a little bit discouraging,
but like, if we believe what she's saying, and she
was just trying to be safe and responsible, and now
that we've straightened that out, I don't know, what do
you think? Maybe y'all, maybe you do go for testing
an ice cream or something, you know what I mean.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
I'm still uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
It's this, It's it's it's.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Still rubbing me the wrong way. I'm I'm I'm backing off, dude.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Would you be rubbed?
Speaker 5 (08:33):
You know, I don't like this conversation anyway, when you
go if we believe what you're saying, what do you
mean if you.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Believe what I'm saying, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
I mean, I'm giving you the benefit of the doab.
I don't know you so whatever, right now, we're not
talking about my sexual health. We're talking about yours. I
don't know. Ruvio has a very puzzled look on his face.
I mean, are you okay over there? Yeah? No, I
was just trying to follow along a want me to
dry your graph? Yeah, I mean I often need a graph,
(09:04):
but it's you know, so so she put they put
the thing in the thing right right after the fact.
I'm like, it happened. It might be it might be late,
too late, you know. Yeah. So no really like Steve, no,
no second shot with this.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
I'm also now so for the records, I'm there.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Oh, she's there. Everybody now so there's no okay, well there,
you haven't just go and get tested everybody? Yeah, why not?
Why not just go figure out where we're at. But hey, Steve,
thank you for your time. Holly, I'm sorry talking to
work out. Best of luck to you as well.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
Okay.
