Speaker 1 (00:00):
I've ever been left waiting by the phone. It's the
Fred Show, Summer, good morning, welcome, Hi, how's it going
very well waiting by the phone. So why don't you
tell us how you met this guy Phil, about any
dates that you've been on, and then you know, tell
us what's going on now and how we can help you.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Sure.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
So the thing is, we haven't actually gone on a
date yet. We met him Bumble and flirted for a
little while before you know, he asked for my number,
and we're flirting and talking like a loss, it's like
all day every day, and he asked me out. We
had a date planned like I'm super excited, and then
out of nowhere, he just ghosted, like no more texting.

(00:40):
I checked on Bumble, didn't message me on Bumble. I
don't understand what happened. Like things were, you know, really good,
Like we hadn't even met in real life yet, So
I just I don't understand what I could have said or.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Done with the conversation. Like on the app, you guys
are messaging back and forth and it was all good,
and so you're looking forward meeting this guy, and that's
always disappointing when people you know disappear like that because
you sort of invest time and and and when you
feel a good vibe about somebody on these apps, then
you want to meet them. You want to see if
there's something there. But this just do is totally ona.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
And we took it off the apps that we were texting.

Speaker 4 (01:14):
Oh right, and like we had I thought we had planned.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
So I'm I'm just really confused.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Okay, yeah, nowhere, I don't blame you. So let's call Phil.
We'll see if we can get him on the phone.
Figure out where this guy went, what's going on. Hopefully
then we can set you up on I guess what
will be your first date and we'll pay for that.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
All right, Okay, that's great.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
I'm going to play one song. We'll come back and
do it. Okay, let's investigate part two of waiting metaphone
in two minutes after Traviy McCoy, we're back the Fred Show.
Good morning, We'll get to show Upy Shelley. Another tiebreaker
with Jennifer. Eleven hundred bucks is the prize. The Entertainer
Report Both on the way. Next Throwback throw Down Thursday,
that's coming up to summer. Yes, all right, welcome back
let's call Phil. You guys met on bumble. You messaged

(01:56):
for a while, then you got to the phase where
you exchange phone numbers and you were you were texting
and you know, sort of vibing and setting up a date,
and then all of a sudden, this dude, he goes,
he's nowhere to be found, not responding, obviously, no date.
You want to know what's going on? Yeah, yeah, let's
call him now? Good luck?

Speaker 4 (02:13):
Thank you? Hi?

Speaker 1 (02:23):
Is is Phil? Phil? Morning, Fred Fred Show, the whole
care is here. I'm starting to bothering, but I do
have to tell you that we are on the radio
right now and I need your consent to continue with
the call. Can we chat for just a second where Okay,
thank you so much. Man. I know it's kind of strange,
but maybe you've heard this before and maybe not, but
this is waiting by the phone. We're calling on behalf

(02:45):
of a woman named Summer, who says that you guys
have been I guess you met on bumble and you've
been messaging and texting to and she thought you guys
were gonna meet, but I guess you've disappeared. So what's
going on? Because we had no trouble getting ahold of you?
So what's the deal?

Speaker 5 (03:02):
I mean, in summer, it's weird, Like, so this isn't
like I guess the avenue that I would have likes
to explain all of this, but look, it's weird.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
It's basically I just get a vibe that I can't
really be trusted in summer.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
You can't be trusted in summer? Why not? Why can't
you trust her?

Speaker 5 (03:20):
I mean, she's cool, and she's really cool girl vibe
out like that, but she's just really on something else.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Like look, so we were talking for a while, we
started kind of flirting up, and then we put instagrams.
We started getting to our instagrams, and I just at
some point there I noticed that she didn't have a
single picture on her feet that didn't have some dog
years and it didn't have some teachers on the cheek.
And I just get the vibe that she's on some
other kind of cat bass.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
She's on some other kind of cat basis stuff. So
everything is really filtered, is what you're saying. Like all
the photos I'm clearly been run through some kind a
you know, a light room or I don't know, not
like subtle though like room a tone or I don't
know what the dog ears, and like the glitter like
you can see so like the like the animated she

(04:13):
trying to cover herself up almost I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
And it's so bad that, like I stopped her Instagram
for maybe thirty minutes, and I feel like I have
no idea what she looks like.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
Okay, all right, so you gut kind of freaked out
and disappeared a summer I forgot to mention the summer
is here. What's the deal with the glittery Instagram filters
and stuff? Isn't that for kids? Okay? Are you kidding me?

Speaker 3 (04:34):
It's fun, it's you know, but how heavy everything else is?

Speaker 4 (04:38):
Right now?

Speaker 3 (04:38):
It's like Kenna, nice to have a little fun.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
I didn't struggle once in a while, but every picture
got to look like it was taken by like and edited.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
I mean I didn't.

Speaker 4 (04:49):
I didn't really think that you would care, like I'm
kind of caught off guard here.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
Well, he thinks that you're hiding something like I don't know.
He wants to know what you really look like. I
guess you could have asked her for a selfie. She
sends you a selfie with dog ears and some whiskers
or whatever. Then you know something is up. But like
you probably didn't have to ghost her. You probably could have,
you know, dug in a little bit didn't talk.

Speaker 3 (05:10):
To me about it, I mean.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
In the first place, so I will adjust someone that place?
Are you?

Speaker 1 (05:20):
I mean? Why why all the filters? Why are none
of the pictures just like of you normally?

Speaker 3 (05:24):
It is literally just fun.

Speaker 4 (05:26):
And I started doing it, and I thought that it
would be kind of fun to have like my whole
Instagram just of filters out with new ones like every week.
And you know, it's not Instagram. Who I am like,
I don't know why we have to have social media
like define.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
I will keep it real though, nothing but filters. I
might be like, what are you really a grown up?
I don't know. I'm not saying that you're not who
you say you are, but I would think a certain
kind of way about that.

Speaker 3 (05:53):
It's just funny and cute.

Speaker 4 (05:54):
It's not a big deal.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
You're blowing this what he had a proportion?

Speaker 1 (05:58):
Dude? Oh no, if you got those like dead eyes,
you know, like how you can fix red eye if
you got that in every picture, I'm like, what's going
on with you. I don't know. I do look at
that though. I look to see how heavily edited photos
and if they look like poorly edited, that's another thing,
like if you poorly edit your photo you were so
desperate to have it look a certain kind of way.
I mean post you just be you. But I don't know.

(06:21):
He doesn't think that's fun, Phil, don't think that's fun.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
If she does hurt, I just feel like I don't
know her, Like I.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
Said, I don't that's not my real life.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
Like it's not all right, Well, he's not into the
fantasy life, I guess, or whatever you're portraying yourself as
on Instagram, which I guess is his right. He could
have told you that. But anyway, all right, So Phil,
no second date or no no date? I guess. Okay,
Hey guys, special elected both of you. Sorry it didn't
work out summer. You know, someone will be into it,
someone will think it's cute. Thank you, Thank you, Phil, good.

Speaker 5 (06:52):
Luck, many thanks guys.
