you've been on, and then where things are now?
Speaker 3 (00:19):
All right? So, I mean, just to be kind of
brief with it, because I mean, it's nothing crazy. So
I went out with a hick Sarah a couple of
nights ago, and I met her on like the apps, right, Like,
I met her online, and so we started talking on
the internet and doing our thing.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
And then yeah, we went on a date.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
A couple of nights ago, and I honestly felt like
we had a pretty great day. I thought everything was
going smooth. But like, I mean, we were like talking
all night. It was great, Like it was a great day.
And then I get a couple of days later, I
still haven't gotten any word from her. I haven't heard
anything whatsoever. She ghost to me, and so clearly I
got the long impression. And that's, uh, that's kind of
(00:55):
why I'm bringing this to you, guys. I'm bringing this
to the professionals, cause I thought day, but shit goes
to me.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Let's let's use professionals loosely here. But we are unlicensed,
but we do have a lot of experience in this.
But you said in your note to us that you guys,
you went on this date. You talked all night. So
this wasn't like a you know, you went on a day,
you had a couple of drinks, somebody wanted out, you know,
she wanted to bail, and then she ghosted you. I
mean like you guys had a connection, because if you're
talking to somebody all night, you know you're connecting.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
No aru Because like so we get to the rest
start at like seven seven thirty, and we left when
it closed at eleven thirty, so we talked all night.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
See, I would think that's good, right, Like I would
think if that's the kind of date that I go on,
that this is a person who's interested and I'm going
to hear from them again. But anyway, let's play a song.
Come back in a couple of minutes. Ben, We're gonna
call this woman Farah who you went out with. We're
gonna see if we can get her on the phone.

(01:50):

all right, let's call this woman Farah. You guys met
(02:11):
on the apps. You went out and something interesting that
you shared about this date is that you win it.
You know, I don't know, seven thirty for the date
and you wound up closing the restaurant down. The conversation
was that intense and in depth and extensive, and yet
you haven't heard from her since to date. You feel
like you're being ghosted. You want to know why?
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Yeah, I feel like it's weird because we were definitely clicking.
We talked for hours and now I got any sex back.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
All right, well, let's call her now. Good luck? Ben? Hello,
Hi is this Farah, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Who's this?
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Hey, Farah, good morning. My name is Fred.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
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 would need your permission
to continue with the call. Can we chat for just
a second, would you mind? Well, thank you very much
for calling on. Behalf of a guy named Ben who
says he met you on one of the dating apps
and you guys recently went on a date.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Do you remember him?
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Of course I remember Ben?
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Of course you remember him? So what does that mean?
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Because you know, he reached out to us and told
you that he liked you, and he said that it
was a long date. You guys conversed for a long time,
and he was excited to see you again. And I
guess he figured because you the day was so long,
that you were into him and that you'd call him back.
But he says that you haven't, so are you ghosting him?
And if so, why, well let's start at the beginning. Yeah,
(03:37):
at the beginning.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
Yeah, So just to clarify, I was super busy the
day of our date. I had barely had any time
to eat, so I was excited that he invited me
to dinner and we go to a restaurant that he picked.
But then he was making lots of comments on how
(03:59):
it was Okay, yeah, yeah, like oh this is a
lot blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
But he took the place so like he's complaining about
how expensive it was, but like he told you where
to go, So what do you You're like, I don't know,
this was your.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Call, right right?
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Yeah, it was like almost making me feel guilty even
though I had no control over it. And we ordered
drinks and then when the waitress came back, he asked
if he could order off the kids menu.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
The kids menu, so he wanted some maca cheese and
some chicken fingers that he wanted because that's like what
he eats, Like he's one of these kind of people
that only eats like kids kind of food or it
because it was cheap.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
I think cheap, like if you want chicken nuggets, I
can respect that, but I think he just wanted the
cheapest option.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Okay, So then what happened, Well.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
He told the waitress that we needed more time, and
then the waitress came back like four times, and he
kept telling her that he wasn't ready yet, and then
he would just go back to talking to me. Finally,
the waitress comes and says that they're going to close
the kitchen and I said, look, I have to eat
or I'm going to pass out. He said, fine, told
(05:18):
her we would split something, and then he ordered for
both of us.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Yeah, he didn't want to spend any money on this
day because he's stalling. And then he's like okay, and
then finally he orders something. He chooses that you then do.
You don't even get to order your own thing, and
what happens.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Yeah, then he ate most of it.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Oh my god, Okay, all right, So this didn't spend any.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Money, No, it just it made me feel like he
really didn't plan this very well and wasn't being super
considerate of me. And honestly, I would have split the
bill with him if he was really concerned. But I mean,
after he decided to order order for me, like screw it.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Okay, Well, let me bring Ben into this, because I
fail to mention that Bennis here, in fact, he may
have fallen asleep after all this, but I'm not sure.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Bet are you there?
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Hey guys, hey, fair like.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
This because normally they get knowing people are like, oh,
and they get kind of upset nothing about it.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
But Ben, what are we doing?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Man? Why are we going to you know, the most
expensive restaurant or a super expensive place and then not
letting her order and and being surprised at how much
stuff costs? I mean, it's kind of rude to go
on a date and bring up how expensive stuff is,
especially if you picked the place.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
I mean, my thing is that, like I think she's
kind of putting this vibe on it of like oh,
Ben didn't want to spend the money or something like that,
that that this is crazy. Look, I'm just this is
this is where it was for me, is that I
was just more into her than I was like the food,
you know what I mean. I was just into the
(06:57):
conversation and like chatting and vibing with her. Because you
guys heard the way that I described the situation or
the date when I first called you guys, It was
that we were there for hours and we were vibing
and clicking for hours. That's what I thought was going down,
was that, but you were just more into the conversation
and each other than the food.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Then you can vibe and click and also nourish your
body right, you know, with some with some food, you
know what I mean, Like you're at a restaurant. The
person who you invited expects to eat, the waitress expects
you to eat, you know, the people that own the
restaurant expect you to eat. I mean, you know, and
I guess I look, you may have picked a place
you to realize how expensive it was.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
There's a way out of that. I mean, you could
be like, hey, you.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Want to let's get a drink here and then let's
jump over to this other place or whatever. But I mean,
you know, order off the kids menu or whatever else,
like you just didn't want to pay.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
I know, I'm gonna hold my ground that that's not
what this was. I eat, Okay, I will admit that
I pulled up and when I saw the prices on
the menu and.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Was just thrilled about them.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
I'll admit that that I wasn't excited to pay what
I was about to pay for a signal entree on
that freaking man you buy. I will admit that I
think that this is a situation of her thinking that
I'm cheap or whatever, when that's not the case. I
was ready to pay for whatever. I just I mean,
I honestly just was enjoying her in the conversation more
(08:22):
journey and I'm placing.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
It's not just about you being cheap. It's about you
not paying attention to me and what I.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Needed, which was, yeah, she's about to puss out on
her here. This woman needs to see something. Look, Kiki,
if I go to a movie, I expect a movie
to come on. If I go to a bar, I
expect them to serve me a drink. If I go
on a dinner date, if I'm invited on a dinner date,
then I expect there to be dinner.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
I don't think it's unfair. No, this is given broke
boy energy.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
No disrespect, man, But I think you need to stop
trying to date until you get your money right, Like
you got to build up your funds and then go out.
Because taking a grown woman on a date and asking
for the kid minu you is like in saying she
had yeah, no disrespect.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
But you brokeass no disrespect though, yeah I ever heard
of broke It's give bro boy energy.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
All right. Look, I just I don't think that this
is a situation of broke boy energy, and I will
prove it with this because if I was on some
broke boy stuff, then would I be ready to ask
her on a second date? Again?
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Right? Fool me twice. That's come on out.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
You're gonna take her to the park or something somewhere,
the public library, something that's free. Look, man, I don't
I'm not knocking anybody who doesn't want to spend or
can't afford to spend a bunch of money on a
on a dinner date. But then you you, if you
knew that might be a problem, then you got to
look ahead of time and pick a place where you're
gonna put your best foot forward. I mean, you ask
someone to do something, you're hosting them essentially, and you
(09:49):
want to make a good impression.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Then you got to pay for the date. Man.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
It's not even like you took her somewhere and she
went and order the most expensive thing on the menu
or whatever.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
She just wants something from the mining right.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
They were sitting there, like the kitchen clothes there, and
then I'm about to close.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
Down the closing shift and everything's going out.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Around me and I'm home.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Yes, Oh, I mean let me ask you this, uh Pharaoh,
would you have split the bill with him? I mean,
it may not have been the best impression, but at
least you would have gotten something to eat out of
the deal. You could have you ordered something and then
just knowing that you were going to have to pay
for it.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Absolutely, It's just you know, I put all this work,
like us gals put all this work to look super
nice for our dates. And I don't know any guy
who takes as much time getting ready as I do.
I mean, the least you can do is make sure
that I'm able to.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
Eat right, Like next time, take her to a happy
hour you know where it's like appetizers and light bites.
You go for to sea to try to take her
out to dinner.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Yeah, if I'm going on a date after work, I
do not have time to go to work, eat, then
get dressed and then go on your date.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
And you got to feed your date. Man, you got
to you know what, And.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
I feel you it is really it is. It is difficult.
I'll bring the nutril green bar or something next time.
Whatever we gotta do, we'll figure something out. But just
in case she's hungry like that. I didn't know she
was hungry like.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
That, Like, so for dinner, I mean, what are you
gonna bring her some fruits now, But you're.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Saying I need all these appetizers and stuff like that.
So I'm like, okay, well if I bring the nutril
green bar, then I got all my bases covered. We
can take four and a half five and a half
that we need, and she got.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
One kids menu. Moe, just bring me a bag of
cheerios while you're at it.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Yeah, I know this is the stuff we do for
my four year old niece. But anyway, I'll ask the question, Sarah.
I think I know the answer, But would you like
to go out with then again, we'll pay for it
so that won't be an issue, I know.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Okay, all right, okay.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Well can I have the money and go out by myself?
Speaker 5 (11:57):
I got you know what, we should probably ge of
it to him, like I think he needs some groceries.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
I know, man, I'm gonna go buy you some nutri
grain bars and I'll send it to your house. I'm
Amazon for you. It'll be fine, uh you know I guys,
I wish you both the best of luck. Thank you
for your time. This is wild well thanks for trying, guys.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
All right By
