1
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:04,439
Speaker 1: He's ever been left waiting by the phone.

2
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 2: It's the Fredshell Angela. Good morning, welcome to the program.

3
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:10,959
Speaker 2: How are you hi, Good morning.

4
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 3: I'm doing okay, but I'm feeling really confused right now.

5
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 2: Yes, of course, and that's why we're here waiting by

6
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 2: the phone. We are public servants and we're going to

7
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 2: try and figure out if you've been ghosted.

8
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: What's going on? You met a guy, his name is Luke.

9
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 2: Why don't you tell us how you met, about any

10
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 2: dates you've been on, and then what's happening now?

11
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: And while you're confused?

12
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, we met on Hinge and once we matched,

13
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 4: we were talking so much, just like a ton, and

14
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,520
Speaker 4: our messages were really flirtatious. So we planned a date

15
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 4: and so this is.

16
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 3: Where things got really weird.

17
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 4: When I got to the date, I walked up to

18
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 4: the table and said hi to him, and I sat down,

19
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 4: and then he just looked like he saw a ghost,

20
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 4: and I was like, Uh, that's weird. But then out

21
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 4: of nowhere, it got even weirder because he started speaking

22
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 4: is Hallian and then claiming that he doesn't even speak English,

23
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 4: which doesn't make any sense because we were talking and

24
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 4: texting so much all in English, and yeah, okay, I

25
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 4: just had no idea what was going on. It was

26
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 4: the weirdest thing ever.

27
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: Well, I'm trying to figure this out.

28
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 2: So this guy, this guy had no issue communicating with

29
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 2: you via text, right, so he knows English?

30
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.

31
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 2: Okay, but then you go on his date and then

32
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 2: all of a sudden it's broken English to only Italian

33
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 2: and you're sitting there going, wait, man, well, how did

34
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 2: you talk to me before then?

35
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 4: Exactly? Yeah, it doesn't make any sense.

36
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, why don't you get on like Google Translator

37
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 2: or something and then start texting him in Italian?

38
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: Maybe that's the problem.

39
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 2: Maybe that's why you haven't heard from him, because now

40
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 2: maybe he had amnesia and he just forgot how to

41
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 2: speak English.

42
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know.

43
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 4: It was just like, you know, I would never even

44
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 4: normally go on waiting by the phone, but this was

45
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 4: just way too weird for me to not share. To

46
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 4: try to figure out what was going on with this.

47
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: That's where we come in. We're gonna call this guy.

48
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get out of my Italian treation machine here

49
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 2: and see if I can figure out how to communicate

50
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 2: with him.

51
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: Luke the Italian.

52
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 2: Okay, we're gonna call him in just a second and

53
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 2: see if we can figure out what's going on. You'll

54
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 2: be on the phone the whole time, and the hope

55
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 2: is always is that we can straighten this out and

56
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 2: set you up on another date that we pay for.

57
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: Sound good?

58
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,160

111
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,080

Speaker 2: Hey, Angela, Angela, this is this dude obviously speaks English,

117
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 2: and this is obviously I would love to get I

118
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 2: would love to get the story out of him. But

119
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 2: I don't know why he's doing this. What I mean,

120
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 2: is there any is there any way we could get

121
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:37,559
Speaker 2: you to speak English again?

122
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:44,080

Speaker 4: Yeahslator, come on, just give her the real reason you're

124
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 4: being weird.

125
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 2: Obviously there was something that he didn't like, and it's

126
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 2: easier for him to pretend I guess this is his

127
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 2: way out of something. Can you think of anything, Angela?

128
00:05:59,440 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: Like?

129
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 2: Are your pictures older? I'm not saying that you're not attractive.

130
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, like, is there any did you change

131
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 2: your hair? I'm trying to think of all the things

132
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 2: we've heard over there. Did you put your you know,

133
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 2: bare feet up on the table, like? Did you do

134
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 2: anything weird?

135
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:10,799
Speaker 4: No?

136
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 3: I can't think of anything weird that I did. And uh,

137
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 3: my pictures are recent. I think they're pretty recent.

138
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: I'm going to give you one more chance. Luke is there?

139
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 2: Do you want to tell us why you haven't called

140
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 2: Angela in English? Okay, fine, there is there's Luke.

141
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 1: You got you got me?

142
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 4: Okay, look, I did you?

143
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 1: Did you pet it?

144
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 4: I showed up and I swear she looked completely different

145
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 4: from her photos and and I didn't.

146
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: Know what to do. So my brain just shut down.

147
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:51,679
Speaker 1: And somehow, I don't.

148
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 4: Know, I thought pretending not to speak English felt like

149
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 4: the least mean option. I don't know.

150
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 2: You obviously speaking was because you planned the date in English,

151
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 2: So I mean, I could understand if you'd never met

152
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 2: before that you could try this one. But like you

153
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 2: answered the phone in English. You texted her in English.

154
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: Like I beg my brain turned off and I didn't

155
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: know what to do.

156
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, I wish I could ask you in Italian,

157
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 2: but I can't do. Would you like to go out

158
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 2: with her again? We'll pay for it. I think I

159
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 2: know the answer. You can go to a nice Italian restaurant,

160
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 2: you can order Italian, She'll be very impressed. Would you

161
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 2: like to go out with her again?

162
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: I just I don't know.

163
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 4: I don't think that I'm not just not attracted to her,

164
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 4: and I didn't want.

165
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: To hurt her feelings, and.

166
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 4: I did hurt her feelings, and so I don't feel

167
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 4: like it's.

168
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: For the best.

169
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 2: Well, I mean a better question when be Angela, after

170
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 2: hearing all of this, would you even want to go

171
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 2: out with him again?

172
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 4: No?

173
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 3: I wouldn't because it's just ridiculous what he did, and

174
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 3: he really didn't have to do all that. He could

175
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 3: have just fault.

176
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,119
Speaker 4: Me, or we could have just, you know, like had

177
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 4: our day and it didn't have.

178
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 3: To go on for long. It could have been like,

179
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 3: you know, have said that he had to leave or

180
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 3: something after we were there for like, I don't know,

181
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 3: thirty minutes or something like you could give someone thirty

182
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 3: minutes of your time, right and then like it could

183
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 3: have been over. He really didn't have to pretend to

184
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 3: not know any English and just peak Italian and then

185
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 3: you know, now my feelings really are hurt.

186
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: So well, I think it's kind of a fair standard.

187
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 4: I don't want to go out with him.

188
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 2: You know, you agree to go on a date with

189
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 2: somebody for drinks. Typically it's two drinks. Typically that's just

190
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 2: kind of you know, everyone's going to make time and

191
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,839
Speaker 2: get ready and go out and do all that. It's

192
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 2: usually kind of like universally accepted, we're going to sit

193
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:36,839
Speaker 2: there for two drinks and if it doesn't work out

194
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 2: then that's fine whatever. But or you could just start

195
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 2: speaking another language and pretend like you don't speak English anymore,

196
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 2: that you just have amnesia and for god, but anyway.
