Speaker 1 (00:07):
Steve, Good morning, Welcome to the program. How are you.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
I'm good.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Well, I'm glad to hear that you're good.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
I mean, I realized that you think you're being ghosted
by this woman, Maggie, and so we kind of need
the backstory.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
How did you, guys meet?
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Tell us about any dates that you've been on and
how those went and where things are.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Now, why you think you're being ghosted?
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Well, first, we haven't been on any dates.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
That's kind of why I'm calling a date before a date.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
I get Yeah, I gotta ghosted before a date. As ever,
he happened before.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
I know it might be the first.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Well I know, I'm sure it's happened. Yeah. Well, but
what's your story though?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Oh kay? Well no, I just I saw her on
a dating app. She's really cute, it was beautiful, ask
for her number. We chatted for a little while, and
then boom, she just ghosted and gone never talked to
me again. So I'm calling to kind of figure out
what's the story if you can maybe help me out
with that.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Okay, all right, I mean, it's does happen on the
dating apps? Because I feel like the whole game is
what's the next match? I mean appeals to the same
part of your brain as gambling. I read this whole
article about it, like you just keep going back to
see what's next. The only thing I can compare it
to you is if you grew up in the nineties
and you had AOL. This is a very old reference,
but do you remember the excitement of dialing into the
(01:19):
internet for it to go. You've got mail, you had
a message, or a little bit further along, if you
had aim when signed on right and it would open
the door, close the door, or you'd come back from
class and like people had left you messages in there.
It was very exciting, you know, and I feel like
it's the same thing on these dating apps. However, let's
see if that's what happened or something else. We're gonna
(01:41):
call Maggie right now. We're gonna have you on the
phone as well, ask some questions.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
At some point.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
You're welcome a jump in on the call, and hopefully
we can get you guys set up on your first
date and we'll pay for it. All right, Look at
uh hi is this Maggie? Yes, it is Maggie, good morning.
My name is Fredam calling from the Fred's Show, The
Morning Radio Show. The whole crew is here. I do
(02:06):
have to tell you that we are on the radio
right now, and I do need your permission to continue
with the call. Can we chat for just a second? Sure, Well,
thank you very much. We're calling on behalf of a
guy named Steve. Now, Steve says he met you on
one of the dating apps and you, guys, I guess
messaged and maybe text it a little bit, but you
never met because he says you disappeared.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Do you remember chatting with this guy?
Speaker 5 (02:30):
Oh? Yeah, yeah, no I remember chatting with him. Basically,
the only time Steve ever asked anything about me was when.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
He got my number. Really okay, so the whole conversation
was about.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Him, and then yeah, it was just like the entire
conversation was like pulling teeth, Like it was just me
asking questions and him.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Giving like one word answer back.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
And I just took that as a sign and so
I was just I was just done with him.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
So you gave him your number, hoping that that would change,
But then it just sort of continued on on the
text and it was just like okay, just boring conversation. Basically,
you're like, I'm not I'm not going to take the
time to meet this guy if it's going to be
like this in person.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
I forgot you.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Mentioned that Steve is here. I'm very forgetful about that Steve.
So you didn't ask her anything about her? I mean,
that's like one O one. It's got to be a
volley more than that.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
You go back and forth, Maggie.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
I even asked you what you were in.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Oh, that's nice. Ask what neighborhood she's in? What a guy?
What a great question?
Speaker 4 (03:39):
Is that?
Speaker 3 (03:40):
It?
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Though?
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Honestly, you know, Maggie, you're beautiful and you don't really
have to be that interesting the truth.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Really, what do you mean how do you know she's
not interesting? You never asked her any questions.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
I don't really need to. I mean I kind of
you know, women aren't that interesting.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Really, bro, it's a it's all making sense to me,
and I am bro. Why first of all, what are
you talking about? And second of all, why so you're
only out for for looks? I guess you're you're going
to date women and be with them, according to you,
simply because look what for sex.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
I don't need to be that smart, just you know, really, honestly,
what do you need?
Speaker 3 (04:26):
And Maggie, you're beautiful, but you did say quite a bit.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
You'd write like a monologue, and then I would.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Write back, god line, you'd have to read.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Well, that's a lot.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Let's get to know each other first, yes, So.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
What are you looking for then? Like what I mean?
Speaker 1 (04:43):
If you find all of the women kind uninteresting, what's
the point?
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (04:47):
I tell you they're not that funny either.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Hey, Maggie, tell me a joke.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
That you don't have to have.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
No, she doesn't have to tell you.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Hey, I'm very entertaining though.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
You're talking said several women right here who are interesting
and funny, Like, what's wrong with you?
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Have one of them tell me a joke.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Interesting because.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
They don't have to. What are you supposed to have
a knock knock joke for you? So you can get
a little woody right.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Knock knock jokes? I haven't gone out of style.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
I would like to hear one.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Bro.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
This is some small d energy right now from from Steve.
I mean, so what do you want with women? If
you think they're uninteresting? They're not funny. I mean, what
do you want from that? Are you even talking about?
Speaker 5 (05:30):
What?
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Do you want?
Speaker 5 (05:30):
A man?
Speaker 2 (05:31):
It's pretty obvious, right, so you want a man?
Speaker 4 (05:37):
I asked you what you wanted man, and it's pretty obvious.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
It sounds it sounds like you want a man because
you know women are not interesting or funny, so maybe
you just a date man?
Speaker 2 (05:50):
What's wrong with I actually don't know. If the gays
want you, then Dad, I speak for all gays and
we don't thank you. I mean, what is wrong with you? Anyway?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
It doesn't matter, Maggie. I'm not going to give this
guy anymore time. I can completely understand why you wouldn't
have wanted to go out with him, but I am
sorry you had to talk to him again.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Okay, you can make fun of me and say all
you want.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
At the end of the day, I'm man, I still
had me.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
I was talking about her.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Oh you have me.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
I was talking to her. But oh that's good. So
she's only basically a receptacle for you, is what you're saying.
That's that's all she does. Wow, I don't know what's
confusing about that. But Rinnie, I'm really sorry you had
to be subjected to this man again.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Yeah no, I dog the bullet, So thank you.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
And stop with writing those novel texts you know what
I mean, like more than one or two lines because
you're not interesting or funny.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Don't forget it, Maggie, what hell? Look always here? Yeah
we're done.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
