Speaker 1 (00:02):
Have I ever been left waiting by the phone. It's
the Fred Show, Tara, Good morning, Welcome to the show.
Hi guys, glad you're here. Let's hear about this dude
who you went out with. His name is Robert. You
met on the dating app Hinge, so you match and
then fill us in from there.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Yeah, so we matched. We had great conversations and then
we actually went out to a couple of different restaurants.
One of the conversations we had when we were chatting
was about how I love food.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
I'm huge foodie.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
I love finding new restaurants, and he was like, I
have the best new restaurants to go to, which I
thought was really cool. And he took me out to
this really great place our first night, and it was
the place I had never been.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
I was shocked. So we had a lot in common.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
He loves, like I said, you love food, and we
just like kind of have a lot of things similar.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
So I don't know.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
It was just a great, amazing date and we talked
and talked all night, and then we had a second date,
which was also amazing, and then after that, I just
I haven't heard from him. So I'm a little confused
because I thought the first two dates were.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
So great dated people before who were like really into
keeping up with new restaurants that are opening, And I
respect it because I get so lazy about where I
go to eat. I go to the same places because
I know it's going to be good every time. Like,
if I'm gonna go out and spend a bunch of
money on dinner, then I want it to be good.
I want to be happy. And the thing that makes
me the most like frustrated about that is if you
go to a new restaurant's not good and then he's like,

(01:39):
I could we could have gone to the place I
know is good.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
I'm the new place girl. I love it.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Yeah, so that's cool that you guys have that in
common and you out of here trying new stuff, and
it sounds like it was a match on a lot
of levels. Except this guy's ghosting you now, and you
want to know why. So we'll call Robert. We'll see
if we can get him on the phone. We'll ask
some questions. At some point, you're welcome to come in
on the call, and hopefully whatever's going on, maybe he's
been busy or not feeling well or whatever, and whatever
he's not communicating, and hopefully we can straighten things out

(02:05):
and set you guys up on another date that we
pay for.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
All right, Okay, that sounds great.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
I'm gonna play one song, come back and do it.
Can you hang on? Yeah, let's see what's going on.
Part two of Waiting at the Phone next in two
minutes on The Fred Show. We're commercial free, by the way,
for the next forty five minutes. It's the Fred Show.
Good morning, thanks for having us on the radio. On
the iHeart app seven hundred bucks with show by Shelley.
That's coming up the Entertainer Report as well, Tara, Yes,
welcome back. Yeah, Hi, let's call Robert. You guys met

(02:31):
on Hinge, went on a couple of dates, tried some
new restaurants. You felt like, I think you used the
word amazing, right, you said these dates were amazing.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
Yeah, I mean truly incredible.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
All right, So you had a good time, except after
two dates, he's not calling you, he's not responding to you,
not reaching out for a third date, nothing, He's ghosting
and you want to know why.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Yeah, I'd love to know.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Let's call him now, good luck. Hello, He's just Robert.
Robert Hey, good morning Fred from the Fred's Show. The
whole crew is here. We started to bother, 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 a couple of

(03:12):
minutes on the program.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
Sure?

Speaker 1 (03:17):
I know it's weird, it is. I know it's a
little bit jarring, I would imagine, but thank you for
taking a call. We're calling on behalf of this lady Tara,
who you met on HNS. You guys went on two dates.
You remember Tara?

Speaker 3 (03:30):
Yes? I remember Tara?

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Okay, So what's going on with her? Because she called
us and told us that she met you, It was
attracted to you, liked you. I believe she's again the
word amazing. Two dates that were amazing, and she says,
now you're not reaching out for another one. It's bugging her.
She wants some closure. So why aren't you calling her?
She is very attractive, she's very hot, but I have

(03:55):
to say, she's not hot enough to put up with
all this stuff that I had to do on both days.
What did you have to do? Uh?

Speaker 2 (04:02):
Well, Jarah, if you know what a TikToker is.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Yeah, we're regually familiar with TikTokers. Yeah, so she's on
she's on the app, she's a whe Does she have
a big fan base or something like tens of people
of people, yeah, something like that. I don't and I
know a lot of people do the TikTok, but she's
like very active on it. And on both of our dates,

(04:30):
she was like, it was like a documentary crew. How
many times I brought this? Yeah? Yeah, and let me guess,
let me guess you weren't in any of these tiktoks.
You were the photographer, You were the videographer. I was, Yeah,
I was a vieographer. I'm telling you. I see these
things all the time. They come up on out my algorithm.
I hate the day of my line. I went to

(04:50):
anything you said on that day of my life. And
then it's like somebody has to follow this person around
and capture all of this, and I feel bad because
it's probably the boy friend. You know, It's like who
I mean otherwise you know what I mean? Like someone's
filming all of that. It is and then you're at
the table and like and the girls eating and ta,
It's like, but what about the other person, Like, are

(05:12):
you even there because they want to be there with
you or are you there because you're like a human
that can hold up a camera or phone. And then
he doesn't do it right, I gotta ask him do
it again? What do you know about this pthing? So
that was the deal? Like I'm feeling I'm talking on
your behalf, but like, is that what happened? You want
to be advertie.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
That's exactly yeah, that's exactly what.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
But also not only that, but we're having dinner and
we ordered food, but we can't eat the food until
she gets the perfect shot yea food? Yeah yeah, and
by the way, paid for this food? You I did?

Speaker 3 (05:44):
Yeah, like an idiot like me?

Speaker 1 (05:46):
Wrong, Tara's here, Let me bring Terry and Tara. I mean,
if you're going to go on look, if you want
to have a TikTok channel or page whatever, and you
want a following and you want to show people new stuff,
like I respect it, but you can't take people on
dates when the expectation is that they're there to meet
you and get to know you and you're not even present.
I mean basically, they're they're the crew, they're the they're

(06:07):
the you know, videographer for your little Venture Production crew.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
No, not at all. That is ridiculous. I feel like my.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Page is filled with people who I mean, I would
go as far as to say fans, Like people really
appreciate my content, and I'm just shocked that he was
bothered by helping me out with that, Like I figured
he was having fun, Like.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
That's no fun thing to do.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
I'm not, I mean, I was making fun before, but like,
I'm not knocking the content. Like, maybe you have great content.
People really do love it, and that's good for you.
Maybe you can monetize it and that's awesome, but then
hire someone to do it, you know, to take the
shot and then pay for your own stuff, because I
would feel like what am I even doing here? Like
you're using me to hold the camera, You're using me

(06:53):
to pay for the food, you know, and not that
you have any expectation when somebody takes you on a
date to do anything. But I think the minimum expectation
is is it's assumed that you're there for the other
person to get to know them, right, Otherwise, why am
I buying you dinner? I don't. I don't want to
hold the camera and the light and the mic out
and buy you dinner, Like, I don't even need to

(07:14):
be there for that. I think you're speaking what I'm thinking.
I agree with you.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
I'm really authentic on my TikTok, and.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
I just I'm not going to I don't really curate situation.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
So I was on a date. It was really great lighting.
I just asked him to help me out. I mean
it was probably like twenty minutes of the day, and
I just don't think it's that big of a deal.

Speaker 3 (07:41):
And I honestly thought it was a great bonding thing.
It was really fun.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
And if he's something I'm going to date going forward,
I want to know that he enjoys.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
He's going to be as well. Camera holder. Yeah, I
mean that's every relationship, every relationship the guy because everything one,
you know what I'm saying, Like the guy is the
camera holder for the picture taker, everything like that. But
they go to get to know each other. At least
that means this is her life, she was he was
getting to know, this is this is what she does
for a living. Okay, she doesn't content and and you

(08:10):
might have paid for the meal now, but then that
video blows up and she tags the restaurant. Next time
you're eating for free, homie. I can see how this
would be irritating earlier. He doesn't even know her. He
doesn't even know her, you know, he might be willing
to help her out down the road. Like I'm sure
a lot of these people who have, you know, long
term boyfriends or whatever. I'm sure their boyfriends are helping them.
They're like, they want to assist in whatever this endeavor

(08:33):
is they do. But but yet, if I don't know
somebody and they're like, we're going to this restaurant that
just open, you're paying for it and you're holding the camera,
that's all that's taken away from the get to know
you process, I wouldn't like it either. It would annoy me.
Thank you, I mean, and I've got a free meal.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
I get I can appreciate people that you know, can
appreciate that.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
But I would pay any.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
Amount of money never have to experience that again.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
I would just want to go out and have a
dinner with a conversation with someone I'm on day with
and that's it.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
Well, that video actually got ninety seven likes, so the.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
Joke is on you.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
Yeah, a lot of a lot of engagement there, a
lot of engagement, So I can understand what it was
worth it. You know, you sacrifice love. You sacrifice love.
I think you, honestly, I think you're out here. You're
kind of a vigilante to be honest. I mean, you
sacrifice love for for likes, and I think some people
must admire you for that. Maybe maybe nobody. You're a Martin.

(09:27):
Good luck for you. Good luck to both of you.
Robert not going. I don't even have to ask, there
won't be a third date. And Tara, good luck with
your content and all that stuff.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
Yeah, yeah, thank you.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
