Speaker 1 (00:01):
I've ever been left waiting by the phone. It's the
Fred Show. Leah, good morning, welcome to the program.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
How are you.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
I'm good? Thanks, thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
You know, it's our pleasure, well usually it's our pleasure.
But we'll see what happens here. So you went out
with a gun named Alex. How did you meet? Tell
us about any dates you've been on, and then where
things are now?
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Okay, So we met on bumble and we went out
once we went and had drinks and not.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
It that's it. Yeah, that's a story. Good time.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Yeah, I mean we had a really good time on
the date. And I don't understand, like it was weird.
Like I just don't get why I haven't heard from him, because.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Like if you went out and had drinks, didn't speak,
and then left, I can probably tell you why. You know,
it didn't work out, So I need a little more details.
So a little more details. So you you you had
a good conversation, good chemistry. You know, how many drinks
did you have?
Speaker 3 (00:55):
I had to drink?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Okay, because that.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Matters, because you did to drink minimum for an okay
to good date. If for some reason there was only
one date, I can tell you or one drink rather,
I can tell you that's the problem right there. If
someone ever has one drink with you in leaves, then
it's over.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
It's done. There's no point even investigating. Well, I felt like.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
We really hit it off, like we had good chemistry.
He's super cute, like he was very funny. We never
ran out of things to talk about.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
It was a good time, Like it was a solid
first date.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
So all sounds promising. Hey, Leah, Yeah, all right, let's
call Alex. You guys, you met on Bumble, the dating app,
You went on one date, you had some drinks.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
You describe it as a really good date.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Except you haven't heard from this dude since then, and
it's bugging you as it would most people, and you
want to know why. Yeah, okay, let's call him now.
Good luck Banks hisus Alex, Alex, Hi, good morning. Is
(01:57):
Fred calling from the Fred's 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 wh chat for just
a second? Would you mind? You can hang up anytime?
Speaker 4 (02:07):
Oh yeah, cool?
Speaker 2 (02:09):
All right?
Speaker 1 (02:10):
I mean his voice leg he got a little excited,
but I don't. We'll see, we'll see. In the second
here we're calling up Behalving a woman named Leah who
you met on bumble and you recently had drinks with.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Do you remember Leah? Oh?
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
And there it is. There.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
It is the range of emotions that we go through
in the first thirty seconds. What happened with this woman, Alex?
Because we talked to her and she had nice things
to say about you in the date and felt there
was chemistry and was excited about you, and I was
hoping to hear from you again to plan another date.
But then she hasn't, so are you ghosting her?
Speaker 5 (02:39):
It would look like why, I mean, she's nice, but guys, guys, yeah,
she's a theater girl.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Okay, like like froll on all the time.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Oh boy, okay, just like reciting lines from Beauty the
Beast to something like what like what does that mean?
I mean, I think I know what that means, But
what does it mean?
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Okay, Well it means that, like I mean, what it
isn't It isn't that she used to do theater or
anything like liking theater is fine. It's that she's got
like constant theater kid energy all she talked about the
whole night where like Broadway shows that I have never
seen and like her improv troop and like I don't
(03:31):
I don't know any of that. I'm a sports guy.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Her improv group. Okay, I see an improv artist.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
And so okay, so you don't have anything in common,
is what you're saying.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
No, No, I mean I mean, like I thought she
was she was hot, and I was excited, but it
just no, No, there was not that connection.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Yes, sometimes with theater people, you know, there could be
a little bit of a Olmer over dramatization.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
You know, things can be a.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Little a little dramatic, a little over the top, you know,
with the emotions and the range of emotions and the communication.
I've experienced this before. Was there some of that too,
or was it simply that she wanted to talk about
things that you didn't know anything about.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
Oh No, She's got that constant like always has to
perform energy about her like.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Okay, so it's like pick me type stuff on It's
like what it's like pick me type stuff like like me, me, me,
center of attention, like look at me.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Yeah, I mean I could see that.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
It really is, like there's just she's always ready to
step into the spotlight. Yeah, okay, well okay she did.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Oh that's karaoke. Oh yeah, wait a minute, well she
just okay karaoke. Well what does that have to do
with it?
Speaker 4 (04:43):
I mean yeah, well, I mean, like I thought that
was a fun idea too, but I realized that, like, no,
this was obviously just so she could perform show tunes. Now,
so we did.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Oh so you don't want to karaoke doing show tunes?
Like that's not okay, No, let me bring you here
to perform? Is Leah Lia's here? I forgot to mention
that I always forget that part. So is this true?
I mean, are you you know, are you a little
bit obsessed with the theater and the improv stuff? And
maybe there wasn't a whole you know, range of topics discussed.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Okay, this is totally ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
You asked me what.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
I was into, Like we went back and forth about
the things we're into, and now you just like decided
because you don't have the same interest as me, Like
there's something wrong with me, Like that's insane.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I didn't.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
I mean, I just I can't believe the reason.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Like you asked me what I was into.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
You can't like them be like, oh, she talked about theater,
like you asked me. I had to listen to you
talk about sports, like I don't care about sports, but
like we don't have to like the same things.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
That's ridiculous, Okay.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
I just I don't think I can give you the energy,
like all the attention that you require. I can't that
she is ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
I mean, you haven't seen too over the top yet.
I mean it's like, oh my goodness, you know there's
nothing like that. It's just I don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
So she likes I'm like a normal human, Like I
don't understand, Like I feel like you're like creating this
person that doesn't exist, Like I'm just a person. And
you asked me what I was into. So I talked
about Broadway because I'm into Broadway shows. And I talked about.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Alex.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
She could break down in tears if she wanted to
right now, she's not doing it. She has that ability
as a performer.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
I mean, I'm prepared for it.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
I just like can't believe, like just because you feel
threatened because you don't know, like basic stuff that like
everyone should know, Like you don't know who stephen sonteim is.
Like that's embarrassing for you, not me.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Okay, I've never needed to it's it's come up literally
never once.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Well it just did. And I don't see what the
big deal is, Like, it's not like we have to
talk about it all the time. I just like can't
believe you'd be so close minded.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Okay, But to Cailyn's point, did you pick the karaoke
so that you could be the center of attention? Like
is that why you picked that activity because you wanted
to show off?
Speaker 2 (07:05):
No?
Speaker 3 (07:05):
I picked it because I think karaoke is really fun
and I go and do it with my friends.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Did you do show tunes though? With your the rest
of it? Does the troop go sometimes or no?
Speaker 5 (07:15):
Just you.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
I don't think it's fair just because I suggested Summer eleven, as.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
You would lose me right there. Yeah, you would lose
me right there if we were doing Summer eleven.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
There's a lot of due together. It's like a feature
of an artist on a song.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Oh boy, all right, so this womans into something that
you were not, Alex. You don't see a world where
you could provide her with the focus that you believe
that she requires, and you also don't know anything about
her interests, so it's just not a match.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Yeah, I just don't.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Have it any Well, you know what, joke's on you
because my a guy from my improv troop just at
the app so like if you're lost anyway.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Yeah, we're not supposed to date with any improv troop
that I hear. That's not a good idea because you
know what, Hey, what happened? Do you have to find
a new troop if things don't work out? She doesn't
think that's funny. All right, I'm actually I think it's
kind of serious. But I might not do that. You
know what, if you guys, you might go to S
and L together. I mean, this could be terrible if
(08:15):
it falls apart.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
If we went to together, that would be amazing and
that sounds really romantic, So okay
Speaker 1 (08:20):
All right, well look, Alex, thank you for answering for
your time, and Leah, best of luck to you with
the new guy.
I've ever been left waiting by the phone. It's the
