Speaker 1 (00:48):
I mean it's cold outside, so I'm not going to
sit outdoors, but I can't sit indoor, so yeah. But yeah,
I mean I thought everything was pretty normal, no red

Waiting by the phone. Christopher, welcome back. Let's call Mila.
You met on Tinder. You guys texted for a little bit,
exchange numbers and then went out for drinks and you
thought everything went great. Many people often do. You're being

(01:51):
ghosted now you want us to figure out why and
let's do it right now. Good luck.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
Thanks?

Speaker 4 (02:01):
Hello?

Speaker 3 (02:02):
Hi is this Mila? Yeah, Hey Meela, good morning. It's
Fred from the Fred's Show. The whole crew is here,
and I'm sorry to bother, but I do have to
tell you that we are on the radio right now.
I need your permission to continue with this call. Is
that okay?

Speaker 4 (02:15):
Yes, yes, that's okay. Although I'm confused.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
We appreciate that, and we can end the confusion right
now and get right to it. We're calling on behalf
of this guy named Christopher who reached out to us. Apparently,
you guys met on a dating app on Tinder and
went out for a date. Okay, I guess he was,
you know, feeling optimistic about the date after you guys
went out, Except he says that you're not responding to
any of his correspondences. He's trying to get you to
go out with him again. You're ghosting him, and so

(02:40):
he wanted us to figure.

Speaker 4 (02:41):
Out why, and so he called a radio station.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
Yeah, yes, we called. Well, you know, we're more like
his friends. We're not going to be his friends until
we know what he did first. But what happened? Why
aren't you calling him?

Speaker 4 (02:53):
Yeah? I mean Okay, I am. I have kind of
ghost of him, which isn't cool.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
I shouldn't have done.

Speaker 4 (02:58):
That, but it's just a workout. Well, I think we're
just on different pages.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
And okay, you're being nice now and that's fine, But
that's like the PC answer. That's like, we still care
for each other deeply, but we're breaking up. Probably not
what actually happened that led you to not call him,
if you don't mind, I.

Speaker 4 (03:16):
Just think he's gross. Boy, it's been so awkward. Okay,
we went out for some drinks safely, like I know,
things are whatever. Anyways, we went out for some drinks
and basically as soon as the drinks were served to
us out in public, he very graphically took out his

(03:40):
retainer while slurping and being so loud, left it on
the table for the rest.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Of the day. So what does he do.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
He grabs onto this retainer and he like slurps in
any residual spit that collects on it, and then just
sets it on like a napkin or something.

Speaker 4 (03:55):
Not a napkin, No, but yes, correct, you put it
right down on the little tape. Why did he not
have a case, Like if you're saying you did that too.
I'm no friends grossed out by you too, because.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Why don't you have a case because I forgot the case.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
Sorry, that's Christopher. I forgot. I apologize. I forgot to mention.
I actually forgot that he was here. We're talking more
with you, so you forgot the case. There was no
subtle way to do it. I've seen people do it.
I had it in visit line too. I actually just
wouldn't wear them on dates. You know, I don't recommend it,
but but I've seen people and they're very discreened about it.
You know, they'll like take them out and kind of
like do the lean over things you don't really see,

(04:29):
and then they stick it in their bag. I've seen it.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Yeah, but I like you noticed then, like you forget
that you're wearing them. So I forgot that I was
wearing them, and I didn't want to be without them
for like, you know, four or five, six, seven, eight,
however many hours, you know what I mean. And I
was like, okay, so but I.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
Never took him out to drink though. Take him out
to drink, yeah, I got I got like.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
A fruit like in the top of the drink, and
I want to eat that we normalize retainers here.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Adults are getting a diss wine, not just.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
For nost Yeah no, no, no, no one's making fun of you
for having a retainer. I do think there's a subtle
way to handle that, though. Probably wouldn't set it on
the table for a couple of reasons. One because I
don't think anybody wants to necessarily look at that. Too,
because I would probably forget it, like if it gets
wrapped a napkin or something like you yeah, right, he

(05:19):
seems to put it though he like, uh, anywhere about
the table. Yeah, I would agree with that anywhere. But
let's talk about why you're ghosting him for that reason,
Like you can't so the guy forgot his case. It's
a one time deal. You know, it sounds like that's
not his normal, you know, standard operating procedure. Would you
give him another shot? Mila?

Speaker 4 (05:37):
First of all, you have no idea that's not his
standard operating procedure, Like he's just saying that we're on
the freaking radio, like for all I know he always
does that. Right. Also, it literally made me puke and
it was a one date, one time. I don't feel
like I have to be like giving him this in
depth novel about.

Speaker 3 (05:54):
Why well that's another but I you know, we've had
that debate by the before, by the way, and I'm
so glad that some people need to have an answer
after one day, because that's that's sort of kept our
show afloat for a decade. But I also I kind
of agree with you that one date doesn't necessarily require,
you know, a Mia Kolpa, you know, or some sort
of narrative where I call you and tell you I'm

(06:14):
not going to call it one date, but I but
he wanted to know, and you told him, and you
will not give him another chance, though I will.

Speaker 4 (06:23):
And I get like, it's super sweet you wanted to
call him find out, and I do at this point, See,
it should have been me just saying like, hey, it's
not gonna work out, and then you would have known.
I didn't even have to tell you. It's because it's
super disgusting with.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
Your Christopher's only getting better. He's going to have really straight,
like like laser straight teeth here very very soon, and
you're going to miss out on that. On that mouth now, I.

Speaker 4 (06:43):
Think it's a pant I'm well to do with Timbo.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
Okay, there is a way to do it. But nonetheless,
I'm sorry Christopher and Miila. Thanks for your time and
I wish you both the best of luck. The Entertainment
