Ever been left waiting by the phone.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
It's the Fread Show. Hey Tim, good morning, Welcome to
the program. How are you?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Oh man, I'm just super frustrated. I thought I went
on a really awesome date last week and she's just
not She's just not getting back to me.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
She's a ghosting.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
All right, Well that's frustrating. So why don't you ten us?
Fill listen? How did you meet? Tell us about any
dates you've been on and then where things are now?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Yeah, I mean we met on Bumble, you know, and
we one out and after you know, talking for texting
or whatever for a week on Bumble, we decided to
go out and we just got drinks, and I thought
it was it was super fun. I thought it was
just really you know, talked, had good conversation that learned
any walls or anything, you know, Like I thought I
(01:17):
had some good signs.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
But because you can sometimes tell when you're out with
somebody if you're conversing in the conversations labored or you know,
if you go if you bring up a topic that's
gets weird or awkward or whatever, but you're saying like
everything was just kind of natural and flowing, and that's
usually a good sign. Yeah, yeah, that's what I thought. Okay,
all right, well let's see if we can figure out
what's going on. We're gonna call this woman Sophie. You'll
(01:40):
be on the phone at the same time. I want
you to jump in at some point, but we're gonna
ask some questions before that and see if we can
figure out what's going on. And the hope, as always
is that there's something going on here we can straighten
out and then set you up on another day and
pay for that. Sound good, that's great, Pard, Hey, Tim, Hey,
all right, let's call Sophie. You guys met Umbum and
you went on a date and you thought the date
(02:02):
was amazing. You thought the conversation was good, you thought
the attraction was there. You were into her, you were
excited about this, and yet you've reached out for another
date since then and you have not heard from her.
No response, text, calls, whatever, nothing. Okay, let's call Sophie.
Figure this out right now? Good luck?
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Hello? Hi?
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Is it Sophie? Yes, Hey, Sophie, good morning. My name
is Fred. I'm calling from the Fred Show, the morning
radio show, and I have to tell you that you
are on the radio right now, and I would need
your permission to continue with the call. Can we ch
out for a second, would you mind?
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Well, thank you. You can hang up any time. But we're
calling on behalf of a dude who says you met
you on Bumble. His name is Tim. Do you remember
meeting Tim? Oh?
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Oh boy, yeah I do. This is a little on
a pocket. What's going on?
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Oh wow? Well, I mean, I mean that's fair to say.
But he called us and he told us that you
guys had met on Bumble and went on a date.
He thought the date went great and was excited to
see you again, but says that he hasn't been able
to get a hold of you. We obviously had no trouble.
You picked up in like two rings. So what's going on?
Why haven't you called him back? Why don't you want
to see him again?
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Well, I guess things like this are facing point. But
I can go ahead and walk you through one of
the creepiest experiences I think I've ever had.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Wait minute, so you're saying this date was one of
the creepiest experiences that you've ever had.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
The aftermath of the date, oh definitely.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Okay, Wow, what happened?
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Well, I mean everything was fine when we match some Bumble,
the back and forth. Our conversation was really nice, which
is really rare for Bumble. That's kind of like a
watery hole of creatures of the night. So I thought, Okay,
somebody nice and normal, who's having a real conversation with
me the date.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
I'm sure the Bumble people appreciate that. By the way,
I'm sure there it's a it's a watering hole for
creatures of the night. Just then, happy, right you Bumble five.
I can see it now on a billboard. I think
that's kind of what our show is, is a watering
hole for creatures of the night. Anyway, And I mean
that in the finest way possible and the nicest, kindest way.
So okay, So what happened?
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Yeah? Date, super fun. After the date though, that's the
make out really weird. The day after the date, he
asked for my email and he already had my phone number.
People don't really ask for emails, you know, But okay, sure,
he said he had a surprise for me. Fine. I
got the email, that's all when it took a really
(04:40):
dark turn. The subject line was I picture a future
with you? Whatever could that possibly mean? So inspide the email?
I kid you not. He had a power point. Now
what at that power point possibly mean?
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (04:57):
I clicked on that power point and I was absolutely shocked.
This guy actually made it for a point using AI photos.
Mind you, you show us what our life would be
like together.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Stop. So this dude went to like chat GPT and
he typed in like, you know, me and Tim and
Sophie together forever or something, okay, and then he sent
this to you in a little organized manner. So what
sort of images did he Well, did he have AI
make of the two of you?
Speaker 3 (05:31):
The entire play by play? Engagement photos?
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Oh yeah, wedding photos. I will say he picked a
really high stress for me. Oh my god, yeah, pregnancy,
Oh wow wow?
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Okay kids, now you have yeah boy or girl?
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Boys? I say the girl, the girl? You know, clush,
you know, maybe should late Bloomer shall come into it.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
The kid we're making one of the AI children now
that you would have together. Okay, wow.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
The wedding, there was a cat, a caligo named Pebble.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
A cat. You own a cat now too? In AI
world with this guy who you went on one day
with from Bumble absolutely wow wow wow. Okay, I mean wait,
way to hate, way to have vision. You know. Let
me say something here. A lot of women complain that
guys don't know what they want. This guy quite clearly
knows what he wants. This is not what we mean.
This is not what we mean. Let me bring Tim
(06:41):
into this, the AI master. I wow, Tim, you didn't
mention when you said the things, uh that she was
responding to you. You didn't mention this fantasy world that
you created at the two of them in a PowerPoint presentation.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
I mean, what was the issue with that?
Speaker 1 (06:58):
We what what was the I think there are kind
of a lot of issues.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Actually, go ahead, you have to ask that is an issue.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I mean, is that normal behavior for you to create
a fantasy world with someone you just met, including pictures
of events that didn't take place.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Well, I mean it was just like a joke, you know.
I mean, I know we're not married, I know we
don't have kids. It was just like, you know, hey,
like I see this getting serious, you know if if
you're in It took.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
A long time though, no.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
No, no chack ebt and the new program that I
had it took like twenty five minutes.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
But I don't I don't know that I would say
to somebody after a first date all that stuff anyway,
not to mention creating the fake pictures of what all
that would look like like. I think a lot of
people would be alarmed if you told them after the
first date that you saw a future, you know, having
kids and buying a cat with them. I think that
people might that might be a little abrasive for people.
But then you you went ahead and took the extra
(07:56):
step of creating the images.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
I didn't create the images I did.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Well, is a cat really abrasive? I mean, they're pretty
pretty pretty sure, I thought why. I think it's the
purchasing of the cat combined with the kids who you've named,
and yeah, right right, I think that, like you know,
it's kind.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Of like plug and play.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
You know.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
It's like I have, you know, an image of what
I want in my life, and I'm just you know,
getting this person to see if they go along with that.
And this guy, you know, Tim is just how is
it any different than putting a picture of a Ferrari
on your on your mirror. The man wants to you know,
aspire to have a Ferrari, except this time he's uh,
the Ferrari is is Sophie, and he made fake images
(08:44):
of the children that they don't have.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
So I look, oriented.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Is normal?
Speaker 1 (08:52):
The man is focused. The man knows what he wants.
I uh, I may be changing my mind about this.
It's not normal? What's so many normal things? What?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
What?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
What I mean?
Speaker 2 (09:04):
People gotta you know, they gotta stand out right, Like
you don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Her middle name? Bro, you just met her. You don't
need that for.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
I'm silly.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Yeah, Ai is out of control. I would have look
your your your imagination has taken you know, kind of
gotten the best of you here. And I think again,
I feel like if you communicated these things to her
after a first date. That that in itself would spook
a lot of people because even though you have good intention,
you just met, now you went ahead and created fake
pictures of this. I don't suppose you have them like
(09:36):
in frames in your house or anything, like, you haven't
taken it because that what can you imagine, like if
she went over to his house and like that side
is the picture of Actually, I think I just did
give you.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
No, I don't. I don't have any I don't have
any frames.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
That would be weird. That would be you have Okay,
that would weird, Sophie, you haven't said much. Are you
just frightened her? I mean I don't need it to
be and you're supposed to.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
It's supposed to be cute.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Why are you yelling?
Speaker 3 (10:04):
This is not cute? This is a thing that documentaries
murder mysteries on Netflix Formado.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
This is no, that's good. That's certainly not that. I'm okay,
I'm gonna ask the questions. Oh no, I think you
should totally understand why this murder. No one's murdering anybody.
But I think you may have murdered your chances of
going out with her again. But I have to ask
(10:33):
the question. That's what I'm paid to do. Do you, Sophie,
would you like to go out with him again? You know,
he was a little he came in a little hot
with the AI images of the two of you.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Together, and any more AI images if you don't like them.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
See, he won't send anymore. How about that?
Speaker 3 (10:48):
No Agording to jet chat, whoa, I can't even say it.
According to chat gbt, I will not be going on
a second date.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Oh see, she asked chat gpt too, and chat even
chat gpt is like, well this is weird. This is
a weird use of me. That's what chat gift said. Okay,
all right, look so it's not going to work out. Tim,
I'm sorry. Look at you sound like a sweet guy.
It was a little aggressive. You spooked, so I might
be mindful of that moving forward. But good luck to
you and Sophie, thanks for answering. Good luck to you
as well. Thank you all right,

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
