Speaker 1 (00:00):
I've ever been left waiting by the phone. It's the
(00:03):
Fred Show. John, Good morning, Welcome to the show. How
are you.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
I'm great, I'm glad I was able to get in.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Touch with you. Yeah, well we are too so far.
I mean it's only been about five seconds. So I'll
tell you in a few minutes if I'm so happy
you got in touch with us. But what's going on
with this woman? Stacy on waiting by the phone? So
you you met her, We got to know how you met,
about any dates you've been on, kind of give us
all the backstory, and then where things are now.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Well, I thought things were great. We met on one
of the apps and everything was fine. We matched, thought
it was cool. Her and I had like flirty banter
and it started, you know, going really well. So I
thought i'd take her out on our first date, you know,
and we went out for drinks and everything seemed promising,
and then she ghosted me and I really don't know why,
(00:47):
and I'm calling to figure it out.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Okay, so you guys go out for drinks and I
mean the conversation was good. These are all the same
questions I always ask and I always get the same answers,
But it really like the conversation went well. We stayed
away from any kind of crazy topics. We you know,
we had a nice time. We felt there was chemistry,
you know all that stuff. No weird stuff. You didn't
pick your feet at the table, you didn't show up
(01:10):
in a pint my ride car. You didn't know, no
sort of a drug deal in the parking lot. I mean,
all the things we've heard over the years, none of that.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
No, we just hung out and talked about music, and
I think, you know, she had a great time. I
was a little confused, but it was fun and funny.
I mean, she's really funny. So yeah, I really want
to know what I did wrong or what I could
do to fix it. Maybe see her again sometime.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Right, because you liked her, and nobody wants to be ghosted,
and especially you kind of want to know for at
least closure. I guess, like what you did that made
somebody I want to call you?
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Well, yeah, because now I'm afraid to go out with anybody.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Oh now, I don't be like that, you know, Okay, Right,
we'll talk maybe be like that. You actually get a
very good point. You're right back to what I said before.
Let's see if I'm happy that we spoke in a
few minutes, because sometimes at the end of these I
feel kind of filthy. But let's see what happens. We're
gonna play a song, come back call Stacy. You'll be
on the phone, and we're gonna try and work this out,
(02:06):
figure out why she may be ghosting you, and hopefully
we can fix it and set you guys up on
another date that we pay for. Sound good, Thank you
so much.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
That sounds great.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Let's see what's going on. Part two of waiting on
the phone. Right after this song, Ariana Grande back in
two minutes. The Fred Show is commercial free, Ariana Grande.
It's the Fred Show. Good morning, Hey John, I mean okay,
let's call this woman Stacy. You guys, you went on
a date a drink state after meeting out one of
the apps, and you felt like everything went well. You
talked about music, you talked about various things that you
(02:34):
thought maybe you had in common. You thought everything was flowing,
except you have not heard from this woman since the day.
You've reached out, tried to plan another one, and you
don't know why. Yeah, that's about it. Well, let's call Stacy. Now,
good luck, John, thank you. Hello. Hi is this Stacy? Yeah, Stacy, Hi,
(02:56):
good morning. My name is Fred. I'm calling for 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 which have for a little bit? Do you mind? Okay?
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Okay, Well, thank you.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
I know it's a little bit strange, but you can
hang up any time. We're calling on behalf of a
guy who reached out to us. He says he met
you on a dating app and you went out recently.
His name is John. Do you remember John?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Yes? I do?
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Okay, all right, well, can you tell us kind of
about that, like what happened with John?
Speaker 3 (03:30):
You guys, he's just he's obsessed with John Mayer, like
like uncomfortably obsessed with John Mayor.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
It's John may Yeah, the singer.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Yeah, this singer, like this singer. I mean it was
all right, well, okay, so we met on the apps
and he was like really cute, and you know, we
hit it off. And before we met, he sent me
like a John Mayer song and I was like, okay,
like I'll I'll send him a song that I like too,
and I, you know, just thought nothing of it, you know,
(04:09):
And then we met up for the date and he
was just wearing a John Mayor concert T shirt and
still I thought, okay, this is normal. He likes Sean Mayor, like,
you know, what are you going to do? And then
it just kind of turned around quickly when he mentioned
(04:30):
that he's been to the John Mayor concert ninety three times.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
And kept ninety three times.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Just he then kept finding like I mean, he kept
finding reasons to bring him up with anything. This is
anything like a Beyonce song Camp comes on in the
bar and he tells me, oh, you know that John
Mayer has a great cover of this bed, like we
couldn't even talk about another artist. Then I noticed on
(05:02):
his log screen it's John Mayor.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Okay, ye, like it's just like boyfriend or something like
they're together too far.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
And the way yeah, and the way he was talking
about him was like they were friends, you know. It's
just you know. My final straw was when I commented
and I was like, oh, what a coincidence? You know
you like John Mayert. It was you know that you
have the same name as him, You're like johnya guys.
He told, he told me he changed his name, no
(05:37):
legally to honor John Mayor. No, I mean I want
to leave.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Oh my god, let me you know what, Let me
bring John aka John not Mayor. And it was obsessed
with John Mayor? Who you went on a date with John? Yeah,
he's your background screen on your phone.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I'm a fan. I don't know what else to say.
I don't know why it's such a big deal. You know,
everyone has a favorite artist. You're a stand two like
Swifties telling me told that they're too upset with Taylor, right,
I mean, why why can't I be a fan of
John Mayer.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
I didn't change my name.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
I mean I a lot of things. I haven't gone
to change my name legally because of it. I mean
I've thought about it. I've thought about changing my name
too well, I mean something far more contemporary, like Elvis.
I thought about becoming to but it's already in Elvis
in radios. I can't do that. No, but I've considered.
I've considered changed my name to many, many things that
(06:36):
I'm a fan of.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
No, I make my regular my original name, and John's
not abnormal, And I thought, why not just continue honoring
the guy the way it is.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
It's it's not abnormal to be named John. It's a
little abnormal to change your name from Frank to John
or whatever it was because you are a fan of someone.
I mean, yeah, more power to you. But it sounds
like it's over the top. You're like, what does your
house look like? Is it like concert posters? And uh,
I don't know. You have a lot of his hair,
Like what's going on? I have all those.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Records and I have like a John Mayor room, you know,
in my.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
John may room? Right, Yeah, a lot of people would
have them. Okay, so all right, Look, the guy likes
John Mayer. There are guys that like golf, There are
guys that like sports teams. There are guys that like,
you know, all kinds of different things. Okay, and he
likes John Mayer. Other than that, did you like him,
Stacy like? Or was was it just overwhelmingly? We couldn't
(07:30):
talk about anything else.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Let's put it this way. I now know more things
about John Mayer than I do about what's your real
what was your about John? Okay? I just know more
about John Mayer now, and it feels I don't know,
I think I think you actually want to date John Mayor,
if I'm being completely honest.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Would you?
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Would you?
Speaker 1 (07:52):
I mean, are you into that idea? Like, what if
we can hook you up with John Mayer? Would you
be down? Could you guys do that? I would be
lucky to get John Mayer? Honestly, So, you like women primarily,
but you would date John mayy if given the options
to like it's it's women plus John Mayer is sort
of your your area of interest.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I've never thought about another man, but if there was
like a celebrity past to be dead, I guess it
would be John Mayer.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Okay, wow, hall pass for John Mayer. I got it,
I got it all right. Well, look, would you consider
another date with with not John Mayer, Stacy? What do
you think about that?
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Absolutely not, as.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
There are worse things than to be obsessed with This
is pretty bad. You could tone it down. What's your
favorite John Mayer song? I mean, if you had to
pick one, there's just so many.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Well, I'd like to say my favorite song is slow
Dancing in a Burning Room. But that's how this relationship
started to feel.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Well, wow, we at least, hey, at least there's a job,
there's got to be a John Mayer song for you
to listen to that would help you through this time,
you know, this difficult time that you're going through.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
I'll listen to the entire catalog on repeat today, Okay,
through this moment.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Okay, all right. Wow, well CC, thank you for your time.
Good luck out there, John, good luck to you. Will
work on that meet and greet too, But I'm a
little afraid, actually, I don't think I want to. I
don't think I want us attached to the John Mayer
meet and greet. I'm a little afraid of what you
might do.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
I just want a lock of his hair and to
play his guitar and hang out.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Yeah, so we're not doing We're not going to be
doing that. Yeah, I'm sorry. Good luck to both of you. Okay,
