Speaker 1 (00:01):
You've ever been left waiting by the phone.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's the Fredshell. Hey Pete, good morning, welcome to the show.
How are you, Hey, good morning. I'm all right.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
So Pete, tell us what's going on with this woman, Brinn?
How did you meet? We got to know about any
dates you've been on, any details you can give us,
and why you think she's ghosting you?

Speaker 3 (00:20):
Okay, So we met at we were watching the playoffs.
We're at a bar. The playoffs were on. I was
watching the game and she seemed pretty great.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
We hit it off.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
I got her number, and we plan to go out again,
not football oriented, and grab some drinks and dinner a
few nights later, and it was I don't know, we
just hit it off, like I don't know what happened,
because afterwards, she just starts acting a little off and
she's not really in a rush to go out another date.
And I thought we were connecting.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
I don't know, we.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
Could talk about all these other things, and then she
just kind of ghosted. And I'm hoping you guys can
help me figure out why.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
I do love a a meeting in the wild situation.
You know, we don't hear about a lot of those
I feel like all of these start on an app,
which is how everybody meets. I got that, But like
the thing about meeting in the wild is it sort
of takes away that is there going to be chemistry?
Does the person look the same We've obviously heard that
one before. They don't look the same as their pictures
or whatever. So there's a lot that you kind of
can read when you first meet somebody that you don't

(01:24):
know when you meet on the apps, which I think
if that works, then you're off to a better start.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
But in this case, you're saying.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
You did actually hang out separately, and now she's not
calling you exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
Like it's we got to know each other.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
We were laughing, Like.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
I think laughter's great. On a day you realize like,
oh I can connect with this person, and I just
I The silence afterwards is also like did I do something?

Speaker 2 (01:50):
Yeah, I'm okay if I did.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
But I just want to know what I was so
I don't.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
Do it again.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
Yeah, right, Well, I get it, Pete. It's not like
a nice guy.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Let's call this woman Brin in just a second, Well,
play song will come back.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
You'll be on the phone.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
I don't want you to say anything right at first,
but at some point you're welcome to jumping on the call,
and the hope, as always is that we can straighten
this out and then set you up on another date
that we pay for.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
Sound good, awesome, thank you, thank you so much.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
Let's see what's going on Part two of Waiting by
the Phone. All shall be revealed next after Sabrina Carpenter

It's the frend Show. Good morning, twelve hundred bucks with
show vice Shelley in the showdown five pop culture questions
you can win in ten minutes the Entertainment Report right
before that, Hey Pete, Yeah, all right, welcome back. Let's
call it Brin. You actually met out in person. You

(02:34):
were watching football games, you got her number. You guys
went on a date. The date went well, but you've
been reaching out since the date, trying to get a
hold of her to plan another one because you thought
there would be another one. Except she's not responding to you,
and you want to know why.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
That's exactly exactly it.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
We're gonna call it Brinn right now. Good luck, man. Hello, Hi,
is this Brin? This is brid Hey brand 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 the call.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
Can which have for just a second, would you mind?

Speaker 1 (03:12):
Yeah? Thank you very much for calling on behalf of
a guy named Pete. I guess you guys met in
person and then went on a date recently.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
Do you recall Pete?

Speaker 4 (03:23):
I recall a Pete, but but.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
I wasn't a date. Well, what do you mean? Because
he we just talked to this guy Pete.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
He says he met you at a bar, you were
watching football, and then he asked you on a date.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
And then he says you went on a date.

Speaker 4 (03:39):
And so now thought, I want to hang out, like,
you know, like dinner, drinks, maybe watch another game or something.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
Sounds like a date, bough like dinner drinks possible?

Speaker 1 (03:49):
Why?

Speaker 4 (03:49):
Because because Pete's a guy and I've been a lesbian
for as long as I can remember.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Oh minor detail that.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
Is a twist in the story that I did not seek.
Is Pete aware of your interests?

Speaker 2 (04:09):
I mean, we didn't.

Speaker 4 (04:09):
Talk about that kind of thing. I just I don't
know thought I was making a new friend.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
So this dude approaches you asked what he thought he
was doing was asking you out, and you're just like, no,
this is a nice man at a bar who wants
to buy me dinner. And you're like, okay, I don't
have to disclose that I actually don't like what he
has to offer.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
What I I mean, that's you're right, by the way,
you don't.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
You don't have to like qualify anything. Like, you know,
someone can ask you to hang out and that doesn't
mean that anything is happening. But I guess that it
would be safe to assume that if a dude approaches
you he's a stranger and wants to take you to dinner.
I don't know that it's unfair for him to assume
that was a date, right, Well, that.

Speaker 4 (04:45):
Doesn't happened that often. I guess.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
Okay, I just.

Speaker 4 (04:50):
Thought we like, we're just clicking and yeah, that's all okay, Well,
dude's cool.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
Yeah, I mean, that's that's honest and it's fair. I
got to bring Pete in, though I forgot to mention
that Pete is here with us. I get caught up
in a strong so forgetful Pete turns out, so we
just learned a piece of information that would have been
vital to this whole thing. Turns out she doesn't like men.
Oh am, I the first to tell you that.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
Maybe she does. Hold it? Where you been?

Speaker 3 (05:31):
Mean?

Speaker 2 (05:31):
We were wearing the same shoes?

Speaker 1 (05:34):
Oh well, in that case, Gay both we like Birkenstocks.
What what was the dead giveaway there? I don't understand
bred what kind of shoes were we both wearing?

Speaker 2 (05:47):
Steal to boy?

Speaker 1 (05:51):
I guess honestly, I don't. I don't know that the
footwear would have given it away. I don't, That's what
I'm saying. No one gave me the the guidebook on
what lesbian shoes look like, go to look at her shoes.
Gotten the look book on that yet? But what what
shoes were you wearing?

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Brinn? That would have given it all the way?

Speaker 4 (06:12):
They were definitely Nikeys from the men's section.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
The women in his room Nikes from the men's section.
So I don't, okay, Peter, are you okay over there?
Because you're not saying much. You seem a little stunned, like,
are you okay? It's just an.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
Honestly take it's I mean, it makes so much sense now.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
But I can't believe.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
I called this in and now everybody gets to hear it.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
Oh no, don't worry about that. Is this is the
least sinister of all of them. Like, we've heard a
lot of really bad stuff. What do you want to say, brins?

Speaker 4 (06:47):
Oh, I just say you have my number if you
still to hang out.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Oh wait a minute, how about that?

Speaker 1 (06:53):
Like I don't think that's ever happened before, where people
at the end of waiting my the phone wind up
being actual friends. Like she's not saying she doesn't like
you as a human, she just doesn't like your parts.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
Yeah, I mean I might. I might need some time
just so every time I see you, I don't think
about how embarrassed I am.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
Eventually, you didn't know, you didn't know you got your
homep step. That's not your fault.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
Hit me up.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
I'll tell you what.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
If you guys want to go on again, let me know.
We'll pay for that. You guys can go a little
friendly date. And uh, I'm sure that was embarrassing. You know,
I might have asked a few more questions, like I
don't know who's your favorite w NBA player.

Speaker 4 (07:41):
Not the lesbian screening questions.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
Well, we were trying to this would have avoided this situation.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
Needs something, something needs to happen. Go to the next situation.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
Yes, I guess my point is I feel like Pete
may have missed some obvious clues. But but Brinn, hey,
I think you've been very cool about this, and Pete,
I don't think you should be embarrassed. And I think
that I think if you guys choose to go out
again and be friends, which you should, let us know
and we'll pay for the date.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
Or not date.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
We'll pay for the outing, right, the activity or whatever.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
Okay, Oh my god, I'm.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
Just suggesting things that friends do.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
They're bros. They're bros. What watching sports when they.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
Met women who like men watch sports. I don't think
that's the giveaway. I'm just saying you like sports, and.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
You're very very strange, I.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
Might say, very very straight sports guys for her, Yeah,
I've seen her shoes. You guys, thank you for being
good sports and I'm glad we got this straighten down.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
Good luck to both of you.
