FunTranscript
00:00All right, it is the second date update right now where we're trying to match two people up on another date.
00:04We have just talked to Rob, and he seems pretty confident in his date with Marissa.
00:09Yeah, he really, really likes her, but obvious she liked him back because after they had dinner,
00:14they actually went to another place and had a drink, and he said the night ended good.
00:18Okay, so we're going to try to call Marissa because he has not heard from her since their date.
00:22Let's do that right now.
00:30Hello?
00:40Hi, good morning. Is this Marissa?
00:42Yeah, this is Marissa.
00:44Hey, Marissa. This is going to kind of catch you off guard, I think,
00:48but this is actually J.R., Lana, and Kevin over here at 99.5QIK.
00:53Good morning. The radio station?
00:55That's us, yeah. Do you think we could talk to you for a couple minutes on the air?
01:00I mean, yeah, sure.
01:02All right, well, I appreciate that.
01:03Let me just tell you what this is about.
01:05This is about a date you went on, and it's about a date you went on with a guy named Rob.
01:10We heard you guys went to Currants in Tarpon Springs
01:13and then actually ended up grabbing a drink afterwards at another place,
01:17and he is really looking forward to seeing you again.
01:21We were hoping we could make that happen.
01:23What's going on with you guys?
01:25You're not talking to him since the date. What's going on?
01:28Wait, he called you guys to call me?
01:31That's right, because I guess you're not answering his calls.
01:34Because you won't text him back.
01:35Oh, yeah.
01:38So is there a reason you're not texting him back?
01:40Um, yeah.
01:43Can you tell us?
01:45Yeah, okay.
01:47So, Rob, let me just start by saying Rob is a nice guy
01:52and has a really big heart, you can tell.
01:56So that's the positive, right?
01:58Yep.
01:58We had a really good time.
01:59Enough to where after dinner I was down to go get drinks.
02:03We went to a bar down the way,
02:06and sometimes you walk into a bar and they've got, like, events.
02:09They were doing karaoke nights that night.
02:11Rob decided to put his name in to do a song,
02:16and it was his turn.
02:18He pops up and he gets on the microphone,
02:20and he proceeds to, like, introduce himself in the song
02:25as, like, a dedication to me
02:27and does this, like, really kind of, in hindsight, creepy,
02:32but, like, weird.
02:34This song is dedicated to Marissa.
02:38She's so beautiful.
02:39She's so wonderful.
02:40I mean, like, I just met this guy, okay?
02:42Oh.
02:43Like, dedicate yourself to me and everything,
02:45but, like, okay.
02:46It just got weird.
02:47So then he proceeds to sing this really, like, romantic
02:51Ed Sheeran song.
02:53It was, like, a serenade.
02:56Oh.
02:57He sang Ed Sheeran?
02:59Yeah, Ed Sheeran.
03:00To you?
03:01Well, it was dedicated to her.
03:03Oh, my God.
03:03Yeah.
03:04Wait, hold on.
03:05I got to look this up.
03:06Okay, was it, like, was the song, uh,
03:08what's a good Ed Sheeran song that you probably would have sang?
03:11Probably perfect.
03:12All right, let's see.
03:13Let me look this up real quick.
03:14Baby, I'm dancing in the dark.
03:20That was it.
03:21That was it.
03:21It was that little thrill that I heard.
03:23Oh, wow.
03:24Well, how was he?
03:26He was not good.
03:28Oh, no.
03:29Man.
03:30Like, and it wasn't just, like, not good,
03:33and you got through it, everyone clapped,
03:34and everything was fine.
03:36It was, like, he thought he was the next Backstreet Boy.
03:39And he, like, I mean, singer in his ear,
03:41Mariah Carey hand-waving, like, deep singing,
03:45and it was so bad.
03:47It was so embarrassing.
03:48People around us were laughing.
03:51I was maroon red in the face.
03:53Anyway.
03:54But sweet?
03:55I mean, if your first date, and he's singing to you?
03:59It would have been sweet if we had been dating for a little bit,
04:02or, like, you know, I knew him more than just four hours.
04:06But, like, it was just awkward.
04:09You just feel like you got kind of put on the spot?
04:11I was so embarrassed.
04:12I was put on the spot.
04:14Like, everything but a spotlight directly on me is what it felt like.
04:17Okay.
04:18Well, that's a bummer.
04:19I wish you would have been awesome and just crushed it.
04:22That would have been great.
04:23Well, let me see if I can get some answers for you, Marissa,
04:26of why maybe he did this,
04:27because we do have Rob on the phone with us as well.
04:31So there's that.
04:33Oh, hey, Rob.
04:34Um, I just, wait a minute.
04:37So you didn't like my singing?
04:38I'm just kind of confused.
04:40Rob, you are sweet.
04:44You're sweet.
04:47That's the review on his singing is you are sweet?
04:52Yeah, Rob, you're sweet.
04:53And I know that you meant well with that.
04:55But, I mean, I could have just not done that and been justified.
05:00It was a great performance.
05:02You know what I mean?
05:03Like, and I've never had anyone complain about my voice before.
05:05And I was just trying to make the night special.
05:09I love that no one has ever complained about your voice.
05:13That's really sweet of them, too.
05:15You're not like a bunch of bag of dying cats or anything.
05:20But, um, on top of the fact that, like, maybe you're not the next Ed Sheeran, I was so embarrassed at the fact of how you called me out.
05:32You dedicated the song to me.
05:34And, I mean, you said things about me as if we had been dating for years.
05:40I didn't mean to embarrass you, obviously.
05:42And if I did embarrass you, I apologize.
05:45Obviously, people who were there, you know, in the room, they were probably jealous because they weren't getting a song dedicated to them.
05:52No, they were making those faces and looking uncomfortable because they wanted to die a little.
05:58But, um...
05:58Well, I think we maybe should, uh, listen to Rob sing and be the judges ourselves, don't you?
06:04Oh, yeah, you guys be the judge, yeah.
06:07I mean, Rob, do you feel like singing anything?
06:10Uh, I can give you a quick harmony.
06:12La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
06:16Hey, okay.
06:17Play a little of the Ed Sheeran and see if he's singing along.
06:19Well, I don't know.
06:20I think we might want to move on here.
06:23I want to hear him sing.
06:24Marissa, Rob, you said multiple times he was a nice guy.
06:27He was sweet.
06:28Maybe you guys don't go to a karaoke bar next time.
06:31What if you guys just hung out again?
06:32Would you be willing to do that?
06:33I don't want to dive into something as deeply as I think you're preparing to dive into, um, something.
06:41Okay.
06:42Aw.
06:43I'm sorry, Rob.
06:43Maybe there's, maybe there are other songs I can sing for you.
06:47You know, I'm really good at 80s stuff, too.
06:49Maybe there's, maybe it's not a fun experience.
06:51You're sweet, but I'm gonna pass, okay?
06:55All right.
06:55Well, Rob, uh, I give you guts, I give you props for having the guts to get up there and sing and dedicate a song.
07:01That's great.
07:01Keep on doing it.
07:03Um, Marissa, thanks for your time this morning.
07:05I'm sorry it's not gonna work out between you guys, but I do appreciate you both.
07:08Yeah, no problem.
07:09Sorry, Rob.
07:10Thanks, guys.
07:11You got it.
07:12Oh, man.
07:13A lot of thoughts on this.
07:14We want to hear yours, though.
07:15800-992-1099.
07:17800-992-1099.
07:20You got it.
07:21Oh, man.
07:38You got it.
07:39Oh, man.
