sounds right. Okay, Well let's call her now. Good luck. Hello,
Hi is this Anastasia.

Speaker 5 (02:18):
It is Hi.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Good morning. My name is Fred. I'm calling from the
Fred Show. The morning radio show. The whole crew is here,
and I do 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
just a second, would you mind?

Speaker 6 (02:30):
I guess I have time. What's up?

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Well, thank you very much. We're calling on behalf of
a dude name Ashton, and he says he met you
on a dating app and you guys went on a
coffee date recently. Do you remember him?

Speaker 6 (02:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (02:42):
I remember, and I'm really honest, I'm not sure I'm
actually comfortable being on the radio talking about this anymore.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Oh well, you can hang up any time, I mean,
if you want to, but we'd love to get the
story because he reached out to us, and he says
that he thought the date went really well and he
liked you. Except he is confused, he says, because he
can't get a hold of you. So I mean, you
can tell us and then we'll tell him, and then
you know, this whole thing can be over.

Speaker 5 (03:05):
I guess yeah, okay, Well, I mean, I guess you're right.
It's very this is very awkward, but I guess nothing
illegal happened, so sure, Yeah, Ashton and I met on
We met on bumble. We were like flirting and stuff,
and he asked me out for coffee and at the
time he said, it's because oh, I'm taking.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
A break from drinking, right okay.

Speaker 6 (03:28):
Which is no, that's like no problem. I don't need
to go out and drink.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
So I'm going to ask that question too about the coffee,
like does he not drink or was he not drinking
or you know who knows? Yeah, but anyway, so he's
taking a break.

Speaker 6 (03:39):
Yeah, I mean that's what he told me, and yeah,
that's great. I support that, so totally fine. We go,
we had food, we got the coffee, we walked in
my car, and you know, gave me a case before
saying goodbye, and everything was fine, but I don't know,
my sixth cents kind of went off and things took
a turn. Basically.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
I know.

Speaker 6 (04:01):
It's weird that I did some creeping on him on
social and I.

Speaker 5 (04:05):
Found his Facebook with his photo, but it said he
was much younger than.

Speaker 6 (04:11):
What he told me.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
I mean, how much younger, like you're going to jail
younger or you don't know.

Speaker 5 (04:16):
But I have some friends who are cops and I
reached out to them and they told me that he's twenty.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Oh also we ah, wow, so we like did a
background check on the guy. Okay, so he's twenty. I
mean he's twenty years old. And how old are you?
I'm thirty four Okay, And how old did he tell
you he was?

Speaker 5 (04:36):
He didn't exactly say, And I guess that's kind of
like what I'm saying.

Speaker 6 (04:40):
I mean the whole like, oh, I'm taking a break
from drinking.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
Though your break. Actually, he's legally right. He can't. He
can't physically buy a drink. Okay. Wow.

Speaker 5 (04:50):
Yeah, and my bumble profile says that my age range
is thirty to fifty, So it means in order for
us to have matched up on bumble, he had.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
To have lied. Oh so he consciously set his age older. Okay,
Now this isn't against the law. He's over eighteen, he's
an adult. I mean, it's not like you did anything wrong.
But I can also understand that you, like, I.

Speaker 6 (05:10):
Kissed the boy. Yeah, well you know he could have
babysat this kid.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
Yeah, I mean you were you were fourteen years old,
you were you know, a woman presumably when he was born.
Let me bring it. I forgot to mention that ashion
is here, and I'm very forgetful, and I apologize for
that ash. And how old are you? I'm twenty, okay,
And and you're purporting to be much older than that
to match with older women, which I must say is

(05:37):
a genius move. Yes, that's it. That's a pro that's
a pro level move. I'll be honest. He's very, very creative.
And if you know you you were indeed taking a
break from drinking because you can't. So there's But also,
if I had to do over again when I was twenty,
I would have been dating much older women to In fact,

(05:57):
if you've been listening for a while, you know I
did have a transfer story when I was around twenty
one and I went out with someone significantly older. Now,
I did not lie about my she knew. If anything,
I think she lied about hers among other things. But anyway,
that was a transformational experience for me, and I can
see why you might want to do this. But what

(06:19):
were you going to do when you eventually had to
tell her how old you were?

Speaker 4 (06:22):
Oh, honestly, I didn't really think that far ahead, obviously,
but shocking I would have.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
I would have I would have been honest about it
and hopefully that they would take Did mom forget to
put your cell phone bill? I mean, what's what's going
on here? Like your breaking up a whole bit, Anastasia.
So you kiss you kissed a twenty year old you're
thirty four. I mean I can see that A no
you when someone's twenty. I think there's nothing wrong with it.

(06:55):
I think that I think that the person needs to
not pretend to be ten plus years older. I think
it's a oas very dishonest. That's the line for me, right,
And so I don't know anything. And you could go
out with a much younger man if you chose to,
and he can go out with a much older woman
if he chooses to. But I think it's the dishonesty.
It's the lack of transparency that's the issue here, right,

(07:15):
I mean.

Speaker 6 (07:15):
That's the reason he'll never see me again. But like
I mean, to each their own.

Speaker 5 (07:19):
I'm not bashing people who date people that are much
younger than them.

Speaker 6 (07:24):
But I was pretty upfront that it's not for me.
And then he like circumvented the system so that he
could slip through the cracks anyway, you no, never again.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
So it was intentionally it was manipulative. It was intentionally
dishonest because he knew. He knows that most thirty four
year old women are not going to go out with
a twenty year old man. Most I wouldn't say all,
but most, And so you would never have accepted a
date with him if you had known that he was twenty.

Speaker 6 (07:48):
No, I mean there'd be no point.

Speaker 5 (07:49):
We're not even on the same playing field, like mentally,
life wise, Like it's.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
True to talk about I think it's fair to say
that's not a diss that's just the facts exactly, Ashon.
How often has this worked for you and you ever
get caught? Well, it was really my first time. No, yeah, yeah,
I don't know, but hey, I will say the whole
taking a break from drinking, Well, it's multifascinating because not

(08:16):
only is it it's it's smooth, but it's highly dishonest.
Like you know what you're doing, Like you know that
you're lying to these women. You're not being deceptive, you're
being dishonest.

Speaker 4 (08:26):
Yeah, yeah, you know.

Speaker 5 (08:31):
I'm glad I took this call now because I hope
you learned a lesson today, Ashton.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
It's giving, like teacher and students. Maybe maybe this is
what he's into actually, like, yeah, you're going to bet
without dinner to night, Ashton, I'll tell you what. Yeah,
you've been, you've been, You've been. Ana. This is turning
into okay anyway, So, Anastage, I mean I have to

(08:58):
ask the question. It's my job. I know the answer her.
Would you like to go out with him again? We'll
pay for it, perhaps with nice chuck e cheese or
something I don't know, Oh my god, a McDonald's with.

Speaker 3 (09:12):
I know if I kiss a twenty year old, I
would be like I would feel like I guess a child.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
Yeah, I mean, let's just be clear. He obviously looked
old enough to her, and he obviously she was obviously
into it. There's nothing wrong with this, It's just it's
a lie. She didn't This is not illegal. It's a
lie that I would have an issue with, and it
would also make me wonder what else are you not
telling me? How in what other ways you're being deceptive?
But I mean, you didn't let me ask you this, Anastasia.

(09:38):
You couldn't tell that he was fourteen years younger.

Speaker 5 (09:41):
I mean I wasn't gonn to say it, but maybe
work on your skincare regimen.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
National like you pulled.

Speaker 6 (09:49):
It off, but it's not a good thing.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
Oh wait, so now okay, so now you kiss the
pimple kid like. I don't know, I'm confinused, I'm kids.
I'm trying to give you the benefit of the doubt here.
And then you look like a immature twenty year old.
And that's how they say he had.

Speaker 6 (10:02):
A beard, So like that helps too.

Speaker 5 (10:06):
I've seen sixteen year olds with a full beard and
they can they can blow it off.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
Well, I couldn't bring a full beard at twenty, So
you know, he says, well ahead of me. I guess
I still can't. All right, Look, so no for a
second date, Ashton. Look, I bet you there are people
who would be into it if you just told the truth.
Maybe not as many as you'd like, but you're good.
The problem with these kind of lies is eventually you're
going to have to tell the truth and then you

(10:30):
have a problem. So why not just tell the truth
from the beginning.

Speaker 4 (10:34):
Yeah, I'll definitely start doing that more.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
I guess he should start doing that more. Yeah, I
would recommend it. Okay at the stage, I'm sorry this
happened to you. Good luck to you, Thank you for
answering Ashton, tell the truth. Good luck to you as well.

Speaker 6 (10:47):
Thanks God, love your show.

Speaker 2 (10:49):

woman who filed a paternity suit back in December for Stefan.
But Carti jokingly responded to her on Instagram saying that's

(11:33):
our baby daddy. Now we're going to work it out,
which made me chuckle and happier. Carti news she is
set to headline the Global Citizen Fest in New York

the Weekend who with Drew Jodou Personal reasons. The festival,
held annually in Central Park, aims to address global issues

the way, and also yesterday, and this is like not
an ad at all, but I was scrolling through door
dash and I saw that they set up a Cardi

(12:34):
b bodega storefront where you can directly buy her new
album am I The Drama, along with a couple other
like Snackis or whatever, directly on door Dash.

Speaker 2 (12:42):

Speaker 3 (12:45):
She is and she's also doing the classic like she's
from New York a Forrest. So she's doing the classic
selling her albums on the street. You know, Okay, I
can't pay my rent if you don't buy this album,
which is actually a pretty cute and funny roll out.

Speaker 2 (12:56):

Speaker 6 (12:57):
She's cute.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
Yeah, hey, I bought one. I mean, do you like it?
I love it. I got this Kiky shirt from door Dash.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
You do we need a Kiky bodega.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
There we do Kiki shirt and then Taco Bell, same thing,
same time. It was cool. That's awesome. That's sufficiency right there.

Speaker 3 (13:16):
Speaking of Hugh Jacksman, Jack okay, hold on, speaking of Huge.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
No, it's started over a good it's good Jacksonman. Speaking
of Huge Jacks, I've seen his work before. It's a
different that's a whole different person. No, don't look him up.

Speaker 3 (13:28):
He was for some reason on stage with Pink. Actually,
of course he was, but also joined by her daughter, Willow,
and Willow brought Pink to tears. Her mom did tears
by covering one of her songs here listen.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
Well, that's pretty good. How does twelve? Willow is fourteen?

Speaker 5 (14:08):
Both of them?

Speaker 2 (14:18):
Wow, that's pretty darn good. That's really good. So good. Yeah,
honestly sweet too. Oh, I love it. It is really sweet.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
Yeah, like I said, fourteen and also the daughter of
Carrie Hart, Pink's long term husband.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
But that was amazing.

Speaker 3 (14:33):
I mean to have Pink have a good voice and
then your daughter has one and she's covering a song
with you. I cannot imagine how that feels, or like
how Beyonce feels when her daughters join her on stage.
But I don't know if they can sing.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
I just know they I mean Kelly Clarkson's son, I
think it was one. Yeah it Frank.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
Learn you so Much?

Speaker 1 (15:15):
Guys?

Speaker 2 (15:15):
Did you know? And this it seems obvious, but maybe
people need to hear this, need to hear me say
it out loud. But studies indicate that negative emotions lead
to lower immune responses against diseases, and staying in a
negative relationship can lower your immune system. Other studies support
this by stating that stress and emotions can adversely affect

(15:37):
your immune system. So today's fun fact not so fun.
May maybe somebody out there needs to hear me say it,
because I think we've all probably experienced this before. Staying
in a negative relationship can lower your immune system and
make you sick. Yes, sick of someone's dusty son is

(15:57):
making me sick. Word on her more than that show
