Speaker 1 (00:00):
I sold both my kidneys to buy a tailor swift ticket.
Should have thought that one through. It's one more thing,
one more thing before we get to the concert tickets.
Thing occurs to me, Katie that Joe being gone last
week week is not up to speed in my budding
romance with my Ukrainian girlfriend. Well this is a must. Yes,
(00:23):
I need to bring Joe to speed on this. Well
now I I heard some of it, right, but so
the uh I haven't finished it off yet. Yeah, it's escalated,
go a bit. But oh I love love story, oh
with triplets? Yes, uh so obviously it's a scam right,
(00:43):
So however this occurred where somebody the any of the
eight million ways somebody could have gotten my email address.
Some scammer is pretending to be a hot young Ukrainian
who is desperately in love with me, having never met me.
I mean, just really constantly calling me. She is your charisma,
(01:04):
I guess, so, my beautiful rose Jack. Why haven't I heard? Why?
I don't want to hear from more often? All that
sort of stuff. But anyway, hands precious diamond, your precious diamond.
That's right, she called me her precious diamond. Wow. But Uh.
Hanson came in the.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
What are the beautiful rose a giant of love?
Speaker 1 (01:22):
The what I got your giant right here? But so
what I was waiting for. I was waiting for what's
the scam going to be? And I've barely played along
with the you know, nice to hear from me. How
are you doing? That's all respond and then she'll give
me Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
We went through the process, so it's like the introduction,
then the love bombing, and then the crisis, which is
where the money comes into.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Play, right, But the crisis hasn't occurred yet, so we're
wondering what it's going to be. Is she going to say,
you know, I got a bad medical diagnosis, or I've
been thrown in jail or my mom's sake or what is?
And I was just interested in that. Hanson came up
with the idea that you hit her first to see
how she reacts. I need to say I'm in jail,
(02:10):
or I got a bad night diagnosis, I desperately need
one thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
I love that idea. So I haven't done that yet,
but I think that's a funny idea to see how
the scammer reacts. That I love you so but to
be together for the rest of our lives. I need
to cure this prostate cancer and I just don't have
the money or whatever. It is, all right, So I
know something about this, and I don't remember the term.
But you need to if you want to, you know,
be the mirror image of it. You ask for something
(02:37):
really small first to establish the the trust and the
you ramp up your requests. You don't start at one
thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Didn't you say something along the lines of you were
going to ask for a couple hundred in order to
go see her?
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Right? Yeah, yeah, I'm just three short up to that.
I'm just a couple hundred dollars short of being able
to fly to see you. Okay, you know what, that's
pretty good. Yeah, don't ask for the whole ticket. Finally,
your beautiful Rose can be ensconced in You're wonderful, whatever
(03:13):
it is.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Yeah, you're one hundred bucks short on a plane ticket.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
That's all. That's all. I need to fly to Key
to see whichever of these five different girls you keep
texting me pictures of is you as they don't even
narrow it down to one foot Take chick, that's One
of the funniest parts of it is it's a bunch
of different Sometimes she's a short hair brunette. Sometimes she's
a long haired bond. Sometimes she's kind of short muscular,
(03:37):
sometimes she's tall and live. It depends on the right
the angle you get her.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
She's hitting all the bases just to find out what
he likes.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
But that's what it is. But that's what it is.
You like short, muscular and got one for you, all right,
So explain this to me. You're the sucker, the fish
who falls for the scam. You'd have to be behind
a moron. That's that's what hooked me in the first place.
Is it was so over the top from from the
word go. It's like you have to be a completely
(04:06):
or like mentally retarded. Really well, yeah, but let's see
what I'm asking Katie. Feel free to jump in. But
is help me through the thought process of the guy
who gets pictures of five different chicks and thinks, yeah, okay,
I'm gonna send her the money or whatever. They're all white,
so they're similarly ish.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Yeah, I think I.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Can tell one white chick from another.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
I think they're just targeting really lonely old men. To
be honest with you. I mean they's so well no, no,
I mean jacket.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
They they shoot their shot.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
You know, they find an email address, clearly it's a dude,
and then they just go for it. But I you
know all the news stories that you hear about people
actually falling for these scams. They're elderly and usually living
on their own or their family isn't there to stop
them from doing this.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
As a lovely old man, I really hate that sort
of talk. Hello, Hello, my dearest sweetheart jack Jackie Armstrong,
my precious handsome made music even Oh my god, thank
you so much for your wonderful letter. Your letter was
a real present for me today. That's when I responded
with sup or more or less? You know, why don't
(05:22):
you write me every day? If you're thinking about me?
It will be impossible for us to build a happy
relationship if we do not talk to each other every day.
If you do not answer, if you do not answer
my letters, don't tell me anything about yourself. And I
have medications a two way street, and I have told
her nothing about myself, and I mean nothing wrong. She's
not wrong. You're being neglectful, Yes, Michael, I am you
(05:44):
got to feed a beautiful love like this one and
the other thing that I like, and then we'll let you.
We'll move on. Well, there's some new pictures, but it's
different pictures of hot young women and then the occasional
kitten or flowers or a beach. Again, she understands you're
a dude. There are other pleasant things to look at.
(06:05):
I guess I don't know what that is. Here's a kitten, Ah, good, great?
Is it your kitten? Or are you giving me? Are
you asking me for a kitten? I don't understand. Maybe
it's a language burrier. Ah, that's funny. I liked you
(06:25):
better when you were a foot shorter, dark hair yesterday.
That really turned me on. The tall, skinny, live blonde
is not. I don't know. Try to be short and
dark haired more often. Since since you went and got
your hair lengthened, blonded, and your femurs extended, I'm not
as interested in you. Oh boy, I love lovest, my
(06:49):
beautiful precious rose.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
So did it go any further?
Speaker 1 (06:52):
No? I didn't responded, so I need to do that.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Oh see, you're letting it die again.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
I'm letting love die.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
You're letting love die.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Love has to be fed.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
She's moved on.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
She may have she found someone else. He's just not
that into you, any of you. Yeah, why don't we
do the ticket thing tomorrow? It's interesting and long and okay,
So you're thinking I will respond today? Then, so you're
thinking a small ask like I'm trying to get together
the money to fly to come see you. I just
(07:23):
need two hundred more dollars. Yeah, okay, I'll do that.
Should I? So? Should I play any of the game?
Should I go with any of the love of my life? Oh?
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yeah, absolutely, pet names.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
I've been thinking about you, and I've made the decision
I would like to come see you.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Problem is I need one hundred and fifty bucks.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Give it one more round of not asking for money.
Go ahead and communicate that this hook has been set.
You think she's a real girl, you're into her. Let
that play out for one more back and forth and
then make the act. I will. Okay, Then as soon
as we get done here, I will hit her with
I missed you all weekend. I can't stop thinking about.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
You, beautiful.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Of course that's how she reacted. Less them. If you
can't stop thinking about me, why don't you ever write
me a letter. That's a good point.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
You're a busy man.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Yeah, hey, yeah, I got a job. I got a job.
You're busy for drinking or traub Jack Armstrong. My precious
time is right. You gotta love that. Well, I guess
(08:31):
that's it.
