Speaker 1 (00:02):
He's ever been left waiting by the phone.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's the Fredshell Angela. Good morning, welcome to the program.
How are you hi, Good morning.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
I'm doing okay, but I'm feeling really confused right now.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Yes, of course, and that's why we're here waiting by
the phone. We are public servants and we're going to
try and figure out if you've been ghosted.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
What's going on? You met a guy, his name is Luke.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Why don't you tell us how you met, about any
dates you've been on, and then what's happening now?
Speaker 1 (00:29):
And while you're confused?
Speaker 4 (00:30):
Yeah, well, we met on Hinge and once we matched,
we were talking so much, just like a ton, and
our messages were really flirtatious. So we planned a date
and so this is.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Where things got really weird.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
When I got to the date, I walked up to
the table and said hi to him, and I sat down,
and then he just looked like he saw a ghost,
and I was like, Uh, that's weird. But then out
of nowhere, it got even weirder because he started speaking
is Hallian and then claiming that he doesn't even speak English,
which doesn't make any sense because we were talking and
(01:06):
texting so much all in English, and yeah, okay, I
just had no idea what was going on. It was
the weirdest thing ever.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Well, I'm trying to figure this out.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
So this guy, this guy had no issue communicating with
you via text, right, so he knows English?
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Okay, but then you go on his date and then
all of a sudden it's broken English to only Italian
and you're sitting there going, wait, man, well, how did
you talk to me before then?
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Exactly? Yeah, it doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yeah, okay, why don't you get on like Google Translator
or something and then start texting him in Italian?
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Maybe that's the problem.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Maybe that's why you haven't heard from him, because now
maybe he had amnesia and he just forgot how to
speak English.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
It was just like, you know, I would never even
normally go on waiting by the phone, but this was
just way too weird for me to not share. To
try to figure out what was going on with this.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
That's where we come in. We're gonna call this guy.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
I'm gonna get out of my Italian treation machine here
and see if I can figure out how to communicate
with him.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Luke the Italian.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Okay, we're gonna call him in just a second and
see if we can figure out what's going on. You'll
be on the phone the whole time, and the hope
is always is that we can straighten this out and
set you up on another date that we pay for.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Sound good?
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Okay, yeah, thank you, that sounds good.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
You have to hear what happens next, Part two of
waiting by the phone. After this song, Ben tim Boone

It's the Fred Show. Welcome to Friday, Happy Valentine's Day.
We are commercial free for the next half an hour.
You don't have to go anywhere. Hey, Angelo, let's call
this guy Luke. You guys, you met on on Hinge,
one of the apps, and you were chatting and it
was flirtatious and it was all good, and you planned
(02:39):
a date together. You go on the date, you sit
down and the guy's facial expression changes and then all
he'll do is speak to you in Italian. It's almost
like you forgot how to speak English.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Yep, that's exactly what happened. And so because I don't
know any Italian, and it was just super awkward.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
I got up and left, and you know, I haven't
seen or heard from him ever since that happened.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
He never like he spoke Italian and then he never
wavered like he'd never no other words of English came out.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Nope, not at all.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
But he knew English when he was texting you, clear right? Okay, yeah,
all right, let's call this guy right now? Good luck?
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Okay, thank you?
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Oh well that's interesting. Hey, chow, Luke choo. My name
is Fred.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
I'm calling from the Fred Show, the Morning radio show,
and I have to tell you that you are on
the radio right now, and I would need your permission
to continue with the call. Can which aff for just
a second in English?
Speaker 1 (03:40):
I'm sure?
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:42):
See, Seth seemed to him like it was a weird question,
you know that we why would we speak in English?
Speaker 1 (03:46):
But these you are Luke?
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Right, you are Luke, and you're on the dating app
Hinge right, Yes, I'm Luke.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Well it's funny because we met a woman named Angela
and she reached out to us, said that she met
you on a Hinge and you seem to have for
gotten how to speak English. Do you remember that?
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Oh yeah, Angela schools non Glazon no no, no, no, not
playing with us. No no, you know you understand Cape,
(04:26):
you understand Valley or even Barlow English.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
And I look, I know you speak English because you
spoke it to me, you know, for a good minute
before we did this. Can we can we just go
back to English? It's just you and you and me.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
No Englan no no no, So we're not angel so.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
You we're not going to speak in English. I just
want to be clear, because you spoke English until I
said her name, and then you trade.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Then you became.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
No.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
No, I expect Louis Parla England Ill no no no, no,
Barista tourism, Visa got it.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Hey, Angela, Angela, this is this dude obviously speaks English,
and this is obviously I would love to get I
would love to get the story out of him. But
I don't know why he's doing this. What I mean,
is there any is there any way we could get
you to speak English again?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Anyway? Google Translator? I mean that one.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Yeahslator, come on, just give her the real reason you're
being weird.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Obviously there was something that he didn't like, and it's
easier for him to pretend I guess this is his
way out of something. Can you think of anything, Angela?
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Like?
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Are your pictures older? I'm not saying that you're not attractive.
I'm just saying, like, is there any did you change
your hair? I'm trying to think of all the things
we've heard over there. Did you put your you know,
bare feet up on the table, like? Did you do
anything weird?
Speaker 4 (06:10):
No?
Speaker 3 (06:11):
I can't think of anything weird that I did. And uh,
my pictures are recent. I think they're pretty recent.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
I'm going to give you one more chance. Luke is there?
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Do you want to tell us why you haven't called
Angela in English? Okay, fine, there is there's Luke.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
You got you got me?
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Okay, look, I did you?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Did you pet it?
Speaker 4 (06:41):
I showed up and I swear she looked completely different
from her photos and and I didn't.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Know what to do. So my brain just shut down.
And somehow, I don't.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Know, I thought pretending not to speak English felt like
the least mean option. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
You obviously speaking was because you planned the date in English,
So I mean, I could understand if you'd never met
before that you could try this one. But like you
answered the phone in English. You texted her in English.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Like I beg my brain turned off and I didn't
know what to do.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Okay, Well, I wish I could ask you in Italian,
but I can't do. Would you like to go out
with her again? We'll pay for it. I think I
know the answer. You can go to a nice Italian restaurant,
you can order Italian, She'll be very impressed. Would you
like to go out with her again?
Speaker 1 (07:27):
I just I don't know.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
I don't think that I'm not just not attracted to her,
and I didn't want.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
To hurt her feelings, and.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
I did hurt her feelings, and so I don't feel
like it's.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
For the best.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Well, I mean a better question when be Angela, after
hearing all of this, would you even want to go
out with him again?
Speaker 4 (07:45):
No?
Speaker 3 (07:46):
I wouldn't because it's just ridiculous what he did, and
he really didn't have to do all that. He could
have just fault.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
Me, or we could have just, you know, like had
our day and it didn't have.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
To go on for long. It could have been like,
you know, have said that he had to leave or
something after we were there for like, I don't know,
thirty minutes or something like you could give someone thirty
minutes of your time, right and then like it could
have been over. He really didn't have to pretend to
not know any English and just peak Italian and then
(08:17):
you know, now my feelings really are hurt.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
So well, I think it's kind of a fair standard.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
I don't want to go out with him.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
You know, you agree to go on a date with
somebody for drinks. Typically it's two drinks. Typically that's just
kind of you know, everyone's going to make time and
get ready and go out and do all that. It's
usually kind of like universally accepted, we're going to sit
there for two drinks and if it doesn't work out
then that's fine whatever. But or you could just start
speaking another language and pretend like you don't speak English anymore,
that you just have amnesia and for god, but anyway.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Look, try anything, weren't we I mean, this is a
new one.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
We've never heard this one before, but Luke, adios and
Angela good luck to you. Chow is hello and goodbye
right so choo again and Guy's best of luck to
both of you.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Thank you.
