Ever been left waiting by the phone. It's the Fredshell.
Hey Tim, good morning, Welcome to the program. How are you?
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Oh man, I'm just super frustrated. I thought I went
on a really awesome date last week.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
And she's just not She's just not getting back to me.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
She's a ghosting.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
All right, Well that's frustrating, So why don't you tell
us to listen? How did you meet? Tell us about
any dates you've been on, and then where things are now?
Speaker 2 (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 I was super fun. I thought it was
just really you know, talked, had good conversation, that learned
any walls.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Or anything, you know, Like I thought I had some
good sons.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
But because you can sometimes tell when you're out with somebody,
if you're conversing in the conversations labored or 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 1 (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, you've kind of here.
What happens next? Part two of waiting at the phone
(01:33):
After god Gotte Bruno mars back in three minutes. Fred's Show.
It is the Fred's Show on the radio and the
iHeart app. Check us out live each morning anytime. Search
for the Fred Show on demand. 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,
(01:56):
and yet you've reached out for another date since then,
and you have not heard from her response text calls
whatever nothing, Okay, let's call Sophie. Figure this out right now?
Good luck?
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Hello?
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Hi is his Sophie? Yes, I 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? Sure? Well?
Thank You can hang up any time. But we're calling
on behalf of a dude who says you met you
(02:35):
on Bumble. His name is Tim. Do you remember meeting Tim?
Speaker 5 (02:39):
Oh? Oh boy, yeah I do. This is a little
on a pocket. What's going on?
Speaker 1 (02:46):
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 rings. So what's going on?
Why haven't you called him back? Why don't you want
to see him again?
Speaker 3 (03:06):
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 (03:15):
Wait, so you're saying this date was one of the
creepiest experiences that you've ever had.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
The aftermath of the date, oh definitely.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Okay, Wow, what happened?
Speaker 5 (03:25):
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 1 (03:45):
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 a 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 of the night. And I mean
that in the finest way possible and the nicest, kindest way.
So okay, So what happened?
Speaker 5 (04:06):
Yeah, date, super fun. After the date though, that's when
it 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.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Know, But okay, sure, he said he had a surprise
for me.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
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 point? Possibly me? Yes,
(04:44):
I clicked on that PowerPoint and.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
I was absolutely shocked.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
This guy actually made a PowerPoint using AI photos. Mind you,
you show us what our life would be like together.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
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? Oh no, did he have AI
make of the two of you?
Speaker 5 (05:18):
The entire play by play? Engagement photos? Oh yeah, oh yeah,
wedding photos. I will say he picked a really nice
dress for me.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Oh my god?
Speaker 5 (05:32):
Yeah, pregnancy oh wow, wow?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Okay, kids, now you're married with what you have? Yeah?
Boy or girl?
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Boys?
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Say the girl? The girl?
Speaker 2 (05:46):
You know?
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Questionable? You know, maybe should a late bloomer shall come
into it.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
The kid.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
We're making some of the AI children now that you
would have together. Okay, wow, so wedding kids.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
There was a cat, a caligo named Pebbles.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
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,
wait 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 5 (06:23):
This is not what we mean.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Let me bring Tim 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 4 (06:42):
I mean, what was the issue with that?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
What was the issue? I think there are kind of
a lot of issues actually go ahead that he.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Have to ask. That is an issue?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
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 (07:03):
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.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Know if if you're in.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
It took a long time though, no.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
No, no chat GBT and the new program that I
had it took like twenty five minutes.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
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,
oh would look like.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Like.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
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 4 (07:47):
Well I didn't create the images they I did.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Well, is a cat really abrasive?
Speaker 1 (07:51):
I mean, the pretty pretty creatures? I thought, why. I
think it's the purchasing of the cat combined with the
kids who you've named, and yeah, right.
Speaker 6 (08:03):
Right, I think that, you know, it's kind of like
plug and play. You know, 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.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Along with that.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
And this guy, you know, Tim is just a 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 oriented is normal, The man is focused,
(08:40):
The man knows what he wants. I uh may be
changing my mind about this. So many normal things? What
what what I mean?
Speaker 6 (08:51):
People gotta you know, they got to stand out right,
Like you don't know her middle name, Bro, you just
met her.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
You don't need that for I'm silly. Yeah, A is
out of control. I would 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
(09:19):
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 because
that 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. No, I don't.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
I don't have any I don't have any frames.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
That would be weird.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
That would be you have Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Weird, Sophie. You haven't said much. Are you just frightened her?
Speaker 4 (09:44):
I mean, I don't mean it's it's supposed to be cute.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Why are you yelling?
Speaker 3 (09:51):
This is not cute.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
This is a thing that documentaries murder mysteries on Netflix Formato.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
This is how.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
No, No, that's good, certainly not that. Okay, I'm gonna
ask the questions. Oh no, I think you should totally
understand why this. No, 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
(10:24):
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 4 (10:30):
Together and any more AI images.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
If you don't like them, see, he won't send anymore.
How about that?
Speaker 5 (10:35):
No agreeing to jet chat whoa, I can't even say it.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
According to chat GBT, I will not be going on
a second date.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Oh see, she asked chat GBT too, and chat even
chat GPT is like, well this is weird. This is
a weird use of me. That's what chat GFT 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. You spooked her, 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.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
