Speaker 2 (00:06):
It's the Fred Show. Hey Jim, good morning, Welcome to

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Oh man, I'm just super frustrated. I thought I went
on a really awesome date last week, and.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
She's just not She's just not getting back to me.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
She's a ghosting.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
All right, Well that's frustrating, So why don't you kind
of still listen? How did you meet? Tell us about
any dates you've been on, and then where things are now?
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Yeah, I mean we met on Bumble, you know, and
we went 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 weren't
any walls.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Or anything, you know, Like I thought I had some
good signs.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
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
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.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
Yeah, yeah, that's what I thought.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
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 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 date
and pay for that. Sound good sound. You've got to
hear what happens next Part two of waiting at the
(01:33):
phone right after Bruno bars back in three minutes, it's
that Fread show. Don't move everyone, thanks for waking up
with us. The Fred Show is on. Hey, Tim, All right,
let's call Sophie. You guys met on Bumble and you
went on a date and you thought the date was amazing,
You thought the conversation was good, you thought the attraction
was there. You were into her, you were excited about this,
(01:54):
and yet you've reached out for another date since then
and you have not heard from her, no response, tech calls, whatever, nothing, Okay,
let's call Sophie. Figure this out right now? Good luck?
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Hello?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Hi is this 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
chat for a second, would you mind?
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (02:29):
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?
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Oh? Oh boy, yeah I do. This is a little
on a pocket. What's going on?
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Oh wow? Well, I mean that's fair to say. But
he called us and he told us that you guys
have 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 ahold of you. We obviously had no trouble. You
picked up in like two So what's going on? Why
haven't you called him back? Why don't you want to
see him again?
Speaker 3 (03:05):
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 2 (03:13):
Wait minute, so you're saying this date was one of
the creepiest experiences that you've ever had.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
The aftermath of the date, oh definitely.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Okay, Wow, what happened?
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Well, I mean everything was fine when we match on Bumble,
the back and forth, our conversation was really nice, which
is really rare for Bumble. That's kind of like a
watering 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 2 (03:43):
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 night, happy, right you Bumble
twenty 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 (04:05):
Yeah? Date, super fun. After the date though, that's the
nick got 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.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Sure, he said he had a surprise for me.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Fine, I got the email, it's all when it took
a really dark turn. The subject line was I picture
a future with you. Whatever could that possibly mean? So
inside the email, I kid you not. He had a
power point. Now look at that power pint? Possibly mean?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (04:43):
I clicked on that PowerPoint and I was absolutely shocked.
This guy actually made a power point using AI photos.
Mind you, you show us what our life would be
like together.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
So this dow went to like jat 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 did? He have a I make
of the two of you, the entire.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Play by play, engagement photos, oh yeah, oh yeah, wedding photos.
I will say he picked a really high stress for me.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Yeah, pregnancy, oh wow, wow?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Okay, the kids? Now you're married with what you have? Yeah?
Boy or girl?
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Boys?
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Say the girl?
Speaker 2 (05:44):
The girl?
Speaker 1 (05:45):
You know?
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Questionable? You know, maybe should late bloomer, she'll come into it.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
The kid, one of the AI children know that you
would have together. Okay, wow, So wedding.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
There was cat, a caligo named Pebble.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
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
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.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
This is not what we mean.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Let me bring Tim into this, the AI master. I wow, Tim,
you didn't mention when you said the things that she
wants to responding to you. You didn't mention this fantasy
world that you created at the two of them in
a PowerPoint presentation. I mean, what was the issue with that?
What was the issue? I think there are kind of
(06:48):
a lot of issues actually go.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Ahead that he has to ask that is an issue.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
I mean, is that normal behavior for you to create
a fantasy world with someone you just met, including pictures
of a events that didn't take place.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
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.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
You know if if you're in It took a long
time though, no.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
No, no chat EBT and the new program that I
had it took like twenty five minutes.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
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.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Like.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
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 in 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 step of creating the images.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Well I didn't create the images they I did. Well,
is a cat really abrasive? I mean they're pretty pretty
cup creatures.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
I thought why. I think it's the purchasing of the
cat combined with the kids who you've named, and yeah,
built don't right right? I think that, you.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Know, it's kind of like plug and play.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
You know.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
It's like I have, you know, an image of what
I want in my life and I'm just you.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Know, getting this person to.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
See if they go along with that. And this guy,
you know, Tim is just the vision board. How is
that 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
of the children that they don't have, So I look
(08:34):
oriented is normal? The man is focused, The man knows
what he wants. I uh, I may be changing my
mind about this. So many normal things. What's what what
I mean?
Speaker 1 (08:50):
People gotta you know, they got to stand out right, Like,
you don't.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Know her middle name? Bro, you just met her. You
don't need that for I certainly don't. Yeah, A is
out of control. I would look you 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,
(09:14):
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 in frames in
your house or anything like, you haven't taken it?
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
What can you imagine like if she went over to
his house and like that side is the picture of Uh. Actually,
I think I just did give you.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
No, I don't I don't have any I don't have
any friends.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
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 mean it.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
You're supposed to. It's supposed to be cute.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Why are you yelling at?
Speaker 3 (09:50):
This is not cute? This is a thing that documentaries
murder mysteries on Netflix Formado.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
This is how No. No, well that's good. That's certainly
not that.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Okay, I'm gonna ask the question.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
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 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
(10:28):
of the two.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Of you together and any more AI images if you.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Don't like them.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
See, he won't send anymore. How about that?
Speaker 3 (10:34):
No agreeing to jet chat whoa, I can't even say it.
According to chat GBT, I will not be going on
a second date.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
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 GPT said. Okay,
all right, look so it's not going to work out, Tim,
I'm sorry. Look you sound like a sweet guy. It
was a little aggressive. He spooked her, So I might
be mindful of that moving forward. But good luck to
you and Sophy, thanks for answering. Good luck to you
as well.
