really cool, and you know, this nice and sort of
ship overless and we talked for a couple of days
and then like he asked me to grab dinner, which
was really fun. The date was going well, conversation was flowing,

(00:44):
like we were totally we were totally hitting it off,
you know what I mean, Like just totally nice guy,
totally normal, had some food, asked me to go back
to his house and we hung out and like nothing happened.
We didn't have a cup or anything like that. We
just sort of watched a movie. It was really.

Yeah, nothing even happened like it was just like really
like a really good first date totally just like buy

similar interests. So it's just kind of tough out there.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
Yeah, you know what I mean. We say it like
that every time. Yeah, everybody out here trying to find somebody.
It's like when you feel like you had a great connection,
you feel like maybe it could go someplace, and they
don't call. It's frustrating. So that's where we come. And
we're going to call this dude, Jerry. You'll be on
the phone. We'll see if we can get him on
the phone. I will ask some questions at some point.
You're welcome to jumping on the call. And the whole

(01:48):
as always is that we get straining things out, figure
out what's going on. Maybe he's been busy or sums up,
and then we set you up on another date that
we pay for. Okay, awesome, you guys, thank you. You've

for the next thirty minutes. You don't have to go anywhere. Hey, Vanessa,

(02:10):
let's call this guy Jerry. You guys, you met in public.
You met in the wild, right, that's how this happened. Yeah,
you met in the wild, and then you exchange numbers
and you want to going out and hanging out, and
you hung out at one of your places and watch

guy Jerry, and you want to know why. So we're

(02:30):

this Jerry? Who's this Jerry? Good morning? My name is Fred.
I'm calling from the Fred Show, the Morning radio Show,
and I have to tell you that we are on
the radio right now and I do need your permission
to continue with this call. You can hang up anytime,

(02:51):
but can we chat for just a second. I think
about tell me I want something cool or something well.
I always say no, I always say no, but actually
this worked out an abrupt no too. Like now, man,
this this could work out well for you. We're gonna
find out right now. But we're calling on behalf of
someone you recently went on a date with. Apparently, her

(03:13):
name is Vanessa. Do you remember Vanessa? Yeah? Yeah, I remember.
All of a sudden, the winning aspirations are someone happened
with this woman because she called us and and she
told us that she met you and thought there was
chemistry and went out with you and had a great
time and really expected that you would call her and
ask her out again. But she believes she's being ghosted.
So what's your side of the story, Jerry? I mean,

(03:36):
I guess I could have handled it a little better.
But she's she's cold, man, She's just made of stone.
And I mean, what do you mean, like, what does
one mean? Give me an example of why you feel
this way?

Speaker 4 (03:48):
Okay, So we went out right and we met at
a bar.

Speaker 5 (03:52):
We had fun YadA YadA, you know, for dinner.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
That seemed to go well.

Speaker 5 (03:56):
And then at some point during this interaction, she told
me that she'd never seen the movie Titanic.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
How was that possible, Like, how could you have never?
I didn't believe her. So I'm glad that Kaylen wasn't
present for that conversation because if Klen had heard that,
we would have had to evacuate the building. We would
have had a real scene on our hands, because that
is it's just a part of being I think, just
a human being. A Yeah, well, no, I would say worldwide.
I would say I wouldn't even I wouldn't even isolated,

(04:24):
isolated to just that. I mean, it's part of part
of breathing. Uh, he's seeing Titanic. She had never seen Titanic.

Speaker 4 (04:30):
Jerry, Well, the Titanic event is not an American event,
like it happened in international waters.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
Everyone's aware of it, like a major Yeah, it was
a major world catastrophe at the time. Yeah, yeah, how
could you Multiple governments or whatever ships went to try
to like help the survivors. It was he's talking about
the historical implications. But you know, I mean Leono DiCaprio
was not actually present. He didn't actually die. I don't

(04:57):
want to break it tea. But nonetheless back on track here,
which we're still bad at. But listen, you you wanted
to go watch the movie. You're like, I cannot believe
that you have not seen Titanic, so let's go watch it, right,
So we went and watched it.

Speaker 4 (05:12):
It is the saddest movie ever created.

Speaker 5 (05:17):
I know some might say the the what's the old
yeller where the dog gets shot?

Speaker 6 (05:22):
This is way worse, right spoiler alert, Well, you've had,
like you described yourself terrible, but watch yeah, so you.

Speaker 4 (05:32):
Did not Listen, she did not shed a single tear
watching Titanic, not when like dude, you know when like
the mom is reading the book to her kids as
the ship's going down, or like the old couple in
the bed the water's coming through and you see them
just gripping.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
He's like, you know they're dying. Came was about to
cry right now, your description of the movie, and you're
telling me this woman, Vanessa had zero emotional reaction.

Speaker 5 (05:59):
None, ry as a bone, her eyes were I'm telling you,
the didn't care.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
I mean not what name.

Speaker 7 (06:11):
Come on, that's you're you're inhuman how to do? Like
it's a movie. You know that you know what happened.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
Emotions? Are you free from emotionally? I mean, I will say,
I mean I'm an emotional guye Jerry, but I don't
cry it much. It takes a lot. It takes a
lot for me to cry. It doesn't mean that I'm emotionless.
It just means that Titanic's not going to make me cry.
I don't think she didn't even get mad when he didn't.
She didn't let him up on the door. Plenty of

(06:45):
room on the door, of room, plenty of room door.

Speaker 6 (06:49):
No.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
Probably could have put some kids on there too, but
didn't care. She didn't care.

Speaker 5 (06:52):
She dumped them off, and she was like, all right, nothing.

Speaker 6 (06:57):
Well, the necklace out of the jacket and and gives
his last name.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
Jack's last name is her own. When she says Dawson
Rose Dawson. Wow, no tears, I'm about to cry dramatic reenaction.
Let me bring up Jerry. I forgot to mention that
Vanessa is here. I'm very forgetful about this Vanessa. I
mean no emotion with Titanic. He believes that you are
made of stone. He believes that you're emotionless, and that's

(07:22):
a problem for him.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
I've been listening to this and I'm just like, my
jaw is like dropped open. You cannot possibly be serious.
That's the reason you're not.

Speaker 5 (07:34):
More shocked at this, and you're having more emotions to
this than.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
The band was playing. Oh yeah, right right, what nothing?
There is nothing.

Speaker 7 (07:47):
It's because I would be all seriousness. I would be
I would be interested to know why someone had no
emotion for one of the saddest movies of all time.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
What are you listen? Do you just cry double wall? Yes, yes,
you know that point.

Speaker 5 (08:06):
You know that point in the movie where like the
ship breaks in half and you see like the guy falling.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
In the part, and like you've mentioned, we got it Jerry,
Like I appreciate the Rotten Tomatoes review, but like we
he yawned right, no, when that happened she was born.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
I just I mean, if you didn't like me, why
didn't you just say that?

Speaker 1 (08:28):
I mean?

Speaker 3 (08:28):
And also, I know what happens on the Titanic. It's
not something that is a huge surprise. The movie was fine,
but like, you cannot be telling me that that it is?

Speaker 4 (08:37):
That is that is so I like to until I
found out you were so sopathic and.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
I have to say this, Jerry. If she had just
sat there and sobbed on the first date and uncontrollably
emotional about this movie, then you'd probably be complaining about that.
So I don't know that we necessary well, I feel
like you're I feel like you're going a step too far.

Speaker 5 (08:58):
You're saying that you know, for her heart grew two
sizes of like the Grench when she was watching it.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
Man, you put Titanic on and you're looking at the
cryometer on me to see like where I fall? Like,
is this your sort of like weird data mining tool
that you use to like date women. This is the
most ridiculous, Like you need to grow up, dude.

Speaker 5 (09:21):
I've never met someone who's never seen Titanic, let alone
someone who watched it and was completely unaffected.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
Okay, did you.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
Met someone who stares at someone for their reaction to
a movie like a creed?

Speaker 1 (09:34):
Did you? Jerry? I need to know were you emotional? Yeah?
I have a heart. It beats, and therefore I cried.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
Oh my god, I have when you didn't respond to me,
I had a lot of emotion when you left me
on Red. Does that also factor in or is it
only just like a Hollywood thing where you actually feel,
you know, momentum of anger.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
What is going on with it? I mean, okay, are
you embarrassed as you cried? Jerry? Is that what this is?
She didn't cry and you did and that's the issue. No,
not at all. I don't. I don't think that emotions
are bad. They just are what they are, right. I'm
not saying like like.

Speaker 5 (10:10):
Men should be able to cry, that whole old stereotype.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Oh no, dude should never cry.

Speaker 5 (10:17):
That's that's why guys, I had heart attacks of like
you know, at thirty eight or whatever like that.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
That's just ridiculous. And now we're learning about medicine. So
any movies make you cry?

Speaker 6 (10:25):
Girl?

Speaker 1 (10:26):
Anything? Yeah? All yellin for the spoiler. Guys. That was
the most emotion we've heard from her. Actually she is
capable of. That's actually twisted and I'm starting to see
a side I don't normally pivot in these things. But

(10:47):
all right, Jerry, thank you for answering. I bet I'm
assuming that you don't want to go out with her again.
We'll pay for it if you do. I mean, we're
gonna go see Bambie. She's gonna laugh at the beginning
when the mom. All right, Jerry, I wish you the best. Vanessa,
thank you for calling. I'm sorry it's not going to
work out. Good luck to you as well. Thank you guys.

Speaker 3 (11:07):
Let's having my answer, the.
