Caitlin said, and this is a story that Caitlin has told for many years. But her first concert was Rod Stewart with her father. Her father, who seemed to think as a child that she was an adult. Yeah, oh, yeah, always. I mean, talk about trauma that your parents put on you. I did not want to be there. Now, I did get a really cool shirt that I'm so mad he gave away because like that would have been cool to wear now. But yeah, I did not know one Rod Stewart's song. This, this older guy, I mean, you know, no shade, no tea, but like this old dude on stage, like swinging his mic stand around.

3:05And that's all I remember. And I was like, can't we go to like spice girls? What was your thinking? Was like, I think you like this. So it's important to me. I like it. So because you know, I think parents are the ones who typically, and at least early, or obviously early years, and still are musical taste in us. Yeah, so one thing about me, as Paulina would say, is I was the first born daughter and first born grandchild on both sides. So and everybody had me pretty young in their 20s. So I was just brought along everywhere. I mean, bars, Rod Stewart concerts. I also saw Janet Jackson. Do you guys know that was not a Madonna concert? I cannot unsee. I mean, I saw movies that I just like, I was just brought along because there was just one. And you know, I was chilling. Yeah, my mom was really young too. I think she was 23 when she had me. Oh, yeah. But whatever reason I didn't, you know, she didn't take me to like Whitney Houston concerts. I wish she had. Yeah. It's probably, it was probably better that, you know, you weren't taking all the places that I was taking, but hey.

4:06But I'm curious though, 855-591-1035, because sometimes these are funny. What was your first concert? The first concert you went to know, this is obviously going to depend on, I mean, we're about to feel old. And we're not that old, but we're about to feel old. Because someone's going to call in here and be like, my first concert was a... Like Sean Mendoff. Yeah. I'll have a Dean or something. I was 20 minutes ago. So that's awful. You know, but I'm curious. So 855-591-1035, what was your first concert? Because sometimes the answers are funny. Like that. I think my first concert was in sync. I think. Wow. Wow, that's a good one. Yeah. I think. What about you guys? Kiki, what was your first concert? B2K. Nice. I was all the way in the last row. It was so bad. Like I couldn't hardly see, but yeah. You were in the building. Yes, I was in the building. And I've been hooked ever since. And we still sit in the last row. Yeah. Yeah. We're still there. Yeah. So yeah, all these years later in the radio show and everything else.

5:07We're somehow still in the nosebleeds. How does that happen? Yeah. So we know K-1. Jason, what was your first concert? So mine was a radio show. And the headliner was Destiny's Child. Oh. So there was Eve, 3LW, Nelly, Dream, and Jessica Simpson. We're all still there. It was a lit show. And isn't it? Yeah. Me and my parents. Yeah. See, your parents, they're good. They're good people. They took you anywhere you wanted to go. They waited for tickets. Yeah. Like you really. The night before I started in your height. Wow. I'm going to be so tired the next day. They're so good parents. Yeah. They did their big one with that one. I love that. Pauline, your first concert. So I was a little older. I was like 20, I think, or 20. Yeah. I was like about 20. So I went to MIA. Oh, yeah. I paid for playing. Yeah. Yeah. That was like front road too. Because I think one of those places were like, you know, you to walk in. Oh, that's good. Yeah. This will see. Yeah.

6:07Yeah. So I was geying my little butt in the front. And I was like, literally second row, if you will. Like, it was up in the front of me. Not necessarily. Yeah. That was really fun. Wow. And then I don't know, Nelly. We'll have to text us hers because she's answering the phone. But hers was probably yesterday. You know, she's never been to a concert yet. Right. Yeah. And by the way, we must remember. Nelly is 20. Was she 29, 28? No, I think. Didn't she just turn 27? I don't know. She's close enough to 30 that there's stuff that she didn't know that she doesn't know. And as much as we tried to keep trying. I don't know. Hey, Bridget. Oh, see, now, Bridget, your first concert was in sync too. Wow. It sure was. I was 12 and my dad took me and he sat there with earplugs and a book. So great. It's a book with a bunch of screaming preteens just read a book. Yeah, I was going to say, I don't even know how you.

7:07I don't know how you'd be able to like in. I mean, like soak that in. Like, I don't know how you. I don't even focus on a book. It was one of the loudest. One of the loudest places I've never been. It was bad. Yeah. Thank you, Bridget. Have a good day. Love you, guys. Love you. We have Bellas. Oh, what is it? Cody Simpson and Big Time Rush. Oh, wow. Oh, great. Last year. Yeah. Hey, Christine. Yeah. Hi, Christine. Good morning. Hi, Fred. My first concert was Billy Joel. Oh, you know, what year was this? It was the uptown girl tell her about it. Eric from the 8485. But I wanted to call him because my best memory was my dad took me. This long t-shirt with the piano upscaled piano keys down the side arm. Like, you know, represent piano man. So it was really cool. So cute. I love that. That is cool. I saw Billy Joel too, but it was more recently. And I'm sure seeing him in a heyday was different. I mean, you know, he was like reading off a teleprompter and stuff. It was still good.

8:07He was still great. But it was not probably what it was when you saw him. I think what made me sad as years later, he said that those were his least favorite songs. And I was like in fourth or fifth grade. And I'm loving these songs. And he said those were his worst. And he didn't like them as much. So that was sad. But anyway, it was a great concept. And I wanted to call in. Thank you, Christine. Have a good day. Thanks. Thanks, guys. Bye. I can't stand it when big artists do that. When they're so big and it made so much money off all these hits. And then they go, yeah, I didn't like any of those songs anyway. It's like easy for you to say. Right. You know, you made a billion dollars off of all these hits. And it's like, I prefer the stuff you've never, you know, the B side stuff. It's like, well, you can say that because you're rich. You know what I mean? And maybe that's authentic. But it's like, really? You don't like that song? Because that song made you a lot of money. You can keep it to yourself. Play the hit. Right. And everybody else likes them. So like, I don't want to hear that my favorite song of yours is your least favorite song. Like, I don't want to hear that. Amanda, good morning. How you doing? Good. How are you? Hi, Amanda.

9:07Your first concert was... We, there, when I was not like Ken. That's good. That's a good one. That's a really good one. Yeah. Yeah. There was throwing toilet paper all over. What a waste. And did your parents take you or did they just drop you off at the front and give you 20 bucks for beer? I mean, like, what happened? My dad brought me. And he was like big weed or fan. And it was just weird. Because I had no clue who they were. But in retrospect, that's a pretty epic first concert. So thank you. Have a great day, Amanda. You too. Yeah, that's a really good one. Isabella. Hi, Isabella. Good morning. Good morning. Isabella, your first concert. My first concert was the Backstreet Boys. Yeah. Okay. And obviously this was the heyday I assume, like in the late 90s? No, I'm 28. So I went around about 12. Okay. I was trying to think, like, what era would this have been?

10:07Because late 90s would have been like... Yeah, I wouldn't have been like one. I wouldn't have been like it. I would have been like that way. I would have been like it. I would have been like it. I would have been like, what was it? Early 2000s. Yeah, because late 90s was like as long as you love me Backstreet Boys. All right. Quit playing games. Yeah. Backstreet Boys. Then like the Black and Blue L. That's a juicy apple. What is it? The shape of my heart. What? The call was probably the same as the game I think. Oh yeah. Black and blue. Oh, okay. Isabella, thank you. Have a good day. It's the right. you called. Oh, this is a good one. Hey, Brie. Good morning, Brie. Good morning, Fred. Hi, now before you tell me that artists or the group, how old were you when you attended this? I was probably 11 or 12 and the group was. My first concert was kids. 12 years old. You went to a kid's show at 12 years old with Gene Salinas, big ass tongue. Did you ask anybody about that? Well, my mom took me. The only concerts I've

11:16been to are with my mom. We went to see kids. Deaf, leopard, hard. That's funny. Hey, it's your mom and Karen. She's your engineer. Yeah. She's your mom, Karen, the genius who works here because that sounds like a lineup that she would have turned like in a good weekend. But Brie, thank you. Have a good day. You too. Thank you. Yeah, we have an engineer. She's a genius. She's our light. She's our angel. And her name is Karen. And that sounds like a lineup that she would love. Heart. Yes, she would do that. And she would buy the VIP so you could go every on her Facebook. Oh, that's all I see. It's like Karen hanging out with, you know, I don't, I don't know, Fleetwood Mac or you know, it's like, how do you do that? I can't hang out with Fleetwood Mac. Hey, Andre. Hey, Fred, good morning, everybody. Andre, this is epic. Your first concert was my mother took me my older sister and my older sister's best friend to see the Jackson five.

12:19That is you. That's amazing. And the thing I remember about it before we went, my sister was, I don't want to go. I don't want to see. I don't care. The whole concert she's screaming. Cheeto. Cheeto. That was. Cheeto. And I bet she'd never live that down. Oh, I remind her on the regular. You have to. Thank you, Andre. Yes, sir. Have a great day, man. Hey, thanks for listening. Thanks for calling. Rebecca says Gwen Stefani Melissa, Melissa's voice to men. Angie new kids on the blocks. Stephanie salt and pepper with Lisa Lisa and Colcham. Wow. Damn. Okay. All right. These are good. These are good. I feel like mine's like too mainstream. I wish my parents had taken me to like, uh, tow the wet sprocket or something. I don't know. Which most people have no idea that's

13:20a band. There's a band. I'm going to make my mom take me now. I've never been left waiting by the phone. It's the Fred show. Hey, John, good morning. Welcome to the program. How are you? I'm all right. Thanks for having me on. I really need help with this. You know, we're here to help and you're welcome. That was very nice of him to thank us. You know, no, we don't get enough. Thank you. We don't get a lot of thank you for this. We don't. We really don't. Um, but we're trying to help you out with this woman, Nina, but we need to know the backstory. How did you meet Nina? Tell us about any dates that you've been on and any details you could remember and why you think maybe you're being ghosted. Well, I met Nina online on hinge and took her out for drinks and and she's beautiful and funny and I really want to go out again to see where things could go. But unfortunately, she's not answering me. You know, so that's why I called you guys because I'm not getting a text back or leave a message. She's not calling me. She's not taking my calls. She's

14:20not answering my text. Okay. So you went on a drink state and you're looking back on this thing. It was just one date, right? Yeah. It's one day. Okay. And you're looking back on this conversation went well. I mean, it was chemistry. You were attracted to her. He did mention that she was funny and pretty in the in the email. He said, beautiful, actually, which is a very strong word. That's a big word. I don't throw that one around because it's beautiful. Beautiful is inside and out for me. Yes. Yes. You know, you guys are beautiful. Oh, thank you. You know what I mean? Why did I rent the girls? No, Jason, you find us hell. Oh, thank you. You just downright sexy. There's nothing I can do about that. No, but I mean, this is all went well in your estimation. And you're looking back on this and you're like, why is this person not calling me back? Right. And I don't understand why in that. You know, so that's why I'm calling you that helping. Right. Right. Okay. So let's play a song. We'll come back in just a second. John will call Nina. You'll be on the phone at the same time. We're going to ask some questions on your behalf. And you're welcome to jump in at some point. But the hope, as always, is that there's a good

15:22explanation for why she hasn't gotten back to you. We can straighten things out. Set you guys up on, in this case, a second date and pay for it. All right. That'd be great. It's the French show. Part two, waiting by the phone and just a second keyword number eight of tendency. Harry Styles and Sydney, Australia. It is will W I L L will. That is keyword number eight. There are two more to go. And then Friday, I'll give you the last one. And then what have you called with all the words to go see Harry and Sydney, Australia. The keyword is will W I L L. Hey, John. Yeah. All right. Let's call Nina. You met on hand and she's the dating app. You went on a date. You had drinks. You really liked her. She was beautiful in your words. Funny. You felt like everything went really well. You've reached out for another date. She's not responding to you. You feel like you're being ghosted. It looks like you're being ghosted and you have no idea why. Yeah. I don't know why. I mean, it's just beautiful. Funny. And this would be great to get some answers from her. Well, let's call her right now. I figured this out. Kiki has a grand

16:23under face already. This should be good. I don't know. Good luck, John. Thank you. Hello. Hi, is this Nina? Yeah, this is Nina. Hi, Nina. My name is friend. I'm calling from the Fred show. The whole crew is here. I do have to tell you that we are on the radio. It's a morning radio show. We are on the radio and I would need your permission to continue with the call. Can we chat for a minute? Would you mind? I mean, what is it about? I mean, I guess. Yeah. Well, thank you very much. You can hang up anytime. But we're calling on behalf of a guy named John. I guess you met him on a hinge and you guys recently had some drinks. Do you remember, John? I hope. Yeah. Yeah. I remember, John. Okay. All right. So what happened? Are you are you avoiding him because he reached out to us and had very nice things to say about you? I said, you were funny and beautiful and all these things. But he says he's reached out to plan a second date. You're not responding. He's very confused. He has no idea why he felt like the first date was a success. Oh, my God. I don't know to say, wow, John. I mean, I don't know what to say,

17:32John. Well, what happened? Because it sounds like maybe you have a different impression of how this date went. Yeah, honestly, like I didn't expect to get a 180 from him. He seems so funny, cool, laid back. Like when he was speaking before the day, but once we met, though, honestly, it was a completely different story. Okay. So the chatting, like, because you would match on the absent stuff and there's like some back and forth and a little chat mode there. So that that was all going well and things changed in person. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Okay. What happened? Because he didn't tell us any of this. He made it sound like the date was they all do, but he made it sound like the great was the date was great. Nothing went wrong. He's actually very surprised that he can't get a hold of you. So what happened? All right. When we first got there, he mentioned there was like some sort of smell and he kept asking me if I could smell it and I had no idea what it was talking about, like, whatever. So I don't actually like throughout this whole time, there's just so many comments told under little

18:32comments about like, wait, you're not like all the stuff about the smell. And then all of a sudden, he like pauses and he's like, wait, you're not wearing perfume. Are you? And like, of course, like I am. I always wear it. Like that's whatever. Like I always wear perfume. So I told him that. And then all of a sudden, he was like 180. He started talking himself down some, off some ledge, like bizarre. Like it's okay. He was at accident. She didn't know. And he's like whispering into himself, like having a stool attack. Like I have no idea. And so I finally asked him, like, are you okay? Like, what's going on over there? And he flipped out on me. Like yelled at me, yelling at me, that perfume triggers his migraines. I should have known this. I should never wear perfume ever without like telling somebody because it could trigger them. And like, what's that? Like, what do they don't like to send? Like, you honestly don't know if he's ever living by. I'm not normal. No, I'm not normal. I'm not like most people. So you don't have to have basic common courtesy. John, Nina, you know each other. John, I mean, if you don't,

19:38even if you're very sensitive to fragrance, one, I don't know how you're able to sort of survive in the real world because it'd be like most people wear one. But I mean, if you're that sensitive to it, isn't that something you might say to her? Like, hey, it's kind of a weird thing to say. But I mean, hey, my olfactory senses are very strong. And I need you to show up all natural. Like, I don't know. I mean, how do you survive in the real world? And why are you yelling at her for doing a normal thing? Like, it's not her fault. She didn't know. Well, it's, I mean, but what? I mean, that's basic common courtesy. I mean, my whole next day was shot. And I mean, that's what is common courtesy, John? It's common courtesy not to wear a fragrance. I think like Sephora might disagree with you. It was so heavy. It was like, you know, I mean, I just couldn't, my whole next day was shot. I had migraines had to call out of work. And, you know, I mean, like, this isn't my, you know, it's because of her, because of her, like, or, or, you know, like, she, it just was so heavy and it's so strong. It's just common courtesy. Like, you can't do that to people. That's the question. No, no, no. You made sure, you made sure that you totally made sure that

20:42it was you let me know that it was my fault. And I was this awful human that I triggered your migraines. Like, you didn't even know it was my perfume. We were in a crowded bomber. It's, it's not because of you. It's not abnormal to wear a fragrance stone. Like, I don't, you're yelling at this woman. And then you're asking why you didn't get another date. It's because you screamed at her about how she smelled it. I mean, if it was so strong, though, it was like, it's so strong. I mean, it was so up. I mean, it was so it made my head hurt. I had to call it a work. I mean, I mean, okay, okay. John, I'm sorry that you have that sensitivity. Right. But like, I guess if it's that significant, then you got to let people know that, hey, I'm going to be in close contact with you. I have very strong senses. I mean, again, I can't imagine having that conversation with someone before I meet them. Like, hey, I don't, don't, not too heavy on the, you know, fragrance or whatever. But I, this is kind of a you thing, bro. No,

21:43I don't think it's normal to call out of work because you sniff somebody. Honestly, I didn't like it. I was like, absolutely not huge red flag. No, thank you. But like, yeah, I get the migraine thing. Like, everybody has their own triggers. But how could she know that? And also, you're in a crowded place. Like, do you police everyone's fragrance? It's, it's a little much. You got a night scream at people. I wasn't screaming. I just said that she had so much on. Were you talking like this? Well, you can't smell me. Yeah. I look, man, I mean, I think you, you had all these nice things to say about her. If she's that wonderful, then, and, and you go out with her again, and the fragrance is so strong, I don't know. Maybe me, I don't know. That's a very difficult thing. Do you say to someone? Beautiful person, but she wears a lot of perfume. And so it's just with a lot. I had to call it a work and I had a migraine all night. Pretty sure, you know, we, we know you had to call it. Oh, we got it. We're clear on that. I guess I don't really know how to tackle this because it is, I don't know how you tell somebody or when you tell someone, hey, you're wearing too much

22:44cloned or too much perfume. But I mean, if they're worth it, then I think you get there. But you did nicely, but you're asking for another day. And yet you forgot to mention the part that she apparently bathes in, you know, Ariana Grande's fragrance or whatever it is. Yeah, what's it called? Oh, my God, you did. Well, then why are you calling? Like you're asking me to set you up with another day with a person that you claim you, you're allergic to. Well, I think I'm allergic to a fragrance, but I mean, I don't know why, why can't that work? Why? She just can wear a left or not. I guess I don't know how to tackle this. Do you, Nina, would you, would you have gone out with him again if he had said nothing, but then before he asked you on the second date told you he thought maybe he was allergic to the way you smell? I don't know. I mean, it would have been better than what happened. Yeah, getting yelled at on the first date is not much fun. Well, look, man, I'm sorry that happened to you, John, but you got to handle it differently because you made her feel bad, and I don't think she necessarily did anything wrong. I mean, maybe she wore, even if she wore too much perfume, I mean, maybe that's a one time thing. He had to

23:48wear it, friend. I have a question. Did you have to call it a work for this though? How long have you laid up in bed? Did you, did you, did you go to work the next day or not? I had a migraine all night. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what, I don't know how to navigate it. I also know that you don't yell at somebody, and I don't, if you have a sensitivity, then you got to figure out a way to work with the other person. But this, no, I don't think it's, it's common to screaming people on a first date about wearing too much cologne. I mean, imagine if she smelled bad, then what would you do? I didn't yell at her. Okay. She's just that simple. She's really carrying a lot of smell. Nina, would you like to go out with John again? I mean, I, you know, he's got plenty of people, so it'll be fine. Nice time. Yeah. Come on. No, no, I'm definitely not interested. She's all good. She's all good. John, look, I'm sorry this happened to you. I think you got to handle

24:51it differently, but she's not interested. I wish you guys both the best of luck, and thank you for your time. Thank you. Tyler Reddick here from 2311 Racing.
