Speaker 3 (03:07):
We met on grinder originally, but we've grown so hope
he's not listening right now. We met on grinder originally
I was in Boston. I went up for like twenty
four hours to see a show back in January. Is
he from Boston? He lives in Boston, but he lived
here before.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
He was really like you if he came all the
way down here for dinner.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
He's here for other things, not me, but because he
was in towns like we should finally meet, because we've
just been texting like for forever.
Speaker 1 (03:36):

I thought you went insta fishal already.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
I posted the food. I did not tag. I'm not
I'm not trying. I'm not trying to rush anything, not
if you're getting burnt the All.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Right, very good?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Now, but so what happens now?
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Well, then he kidnaps him and takes his organ and
extorts him.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
I think we we continue to talk, and then I'll
probably get up there to see some friends at some
point and hang out, and he'll.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
Be back down here. I find you're fine going long distance.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
We'll see.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
I don't know. I wasn't before, but we'll see.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
I'm open to anything. I'm just I'm trying to not
I mean.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Listen, nothing else has worked, nothing exactly. All right, very good,
all right, very good, very good. Thank you, Dustin.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Is that what these kidnappings amount to? What's that, Dustin's
no extortion efforts? Oh yeah, not kidnapping and then taking no.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
Of course they're not taking organs, no, but that's what
it is.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
And so they know that somebody is going to show up,
even if they're in a group, and they will like, oh,
let's just go meet up. And then it's like, hey,
you know what else the uh? And then you end
up either going back to their place or a different place,
and on the way there, that's when they take you.
And it turns into pay us and and and then
(05:10):
you can go.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
But are they contacting like your family back in the States.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
You know what, I think it's I think it's a
little bit of everything. In some case, I think it's
just them.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Because then how do you know the difference between one
of those grandparents scammed and in actual kidnapping.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Officials at the US Embassy and its consulates in Mexico
have confirmed several reports of Americans being kidnapped by individuals
They met on dating apps. In a security alert, US
consulate and Juadalajara issued a warning about the incidents, all
occurring in recent months in the areas of Portavarta and
(05:49):
other places. I can't I can't say the name of
this place, what is it? And you don't think I
could say, cantcun nuevo na nuevo naiyat? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Was there a niridiot in there?
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Saygain, it's not like you said, Nidia Nieria. I don't know.
Victims in their families in the United States have times
have been extorted for large sums of money to secure
their release. Please be aware that this type of violence
is not limited to one geographic area. Travelers should use
(06:26):
caution when meeting strangers anywhere. While officials did not name
any specific dating apps, they provided several tips for safe travel.
And then they go into obviously all the things that
you would take into account.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
How much money.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
I bet it's not what you think it is. I
bet it's not what you think it is.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
So do you think it's more or less than Dustin
spends on apps? A quarter?
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Oh less? Nobody spends that much money. Umm, here you go, Jalisco,
same thing. Kidnappings, Naori kidnap, nuevo kidnappings. Exercise caution due
to crime. US citizens traveling in Mexico can find a
list of emergency contacts at the official website of the
(07:10):
US Embassy and Consulate in Mexico. Where I have no
idea where that is. I would assume Mexico sitting.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
So did you say when Dustin was in here, you
if you were dating, you'd be comfortable state side, setting
the radius and doing the GEO.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Yeah. No, like if you're state side, if you're if
I were here and I don't know, we're on a
where I was on a weekend wherever, right, thanks, Chicago, Vegas,
and you were running around, you were like, I'm let's
hook up while I'm here. I don't By the way,
it's probably as dangerous, but yes, I would feel somewhat safer. Right,
(07:46):
But internationally with the exception and this is unfair, this
is unfair. But with the exception of Canada, I don't think. No,
I'm being serious, I don't think I would do it anywhere.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
But I don't speak.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Tell you.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
You know that there's laws the kidnappers have to use
the language.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
No, but you know, and I realized that's an unfair
thing to say.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
It really is. I agree with you admitted that there
are cities in the United States where you probably shouldn't
be doing that.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Yeah, it's called most of them. No, seriously, if they
if they found out that you're christ, will you find
me somebody that like if they travel for work or whatever,
that they'll still like they'll just use location and zoom
in to where they are.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
I mean it's probably unsafe to do anywhere if they
know that you're there. I mean, listen, they don't know
that when you first start swiping, but if they knew
that after you know, you're having a drink or something,
and it turns out, oh no, no, I'm just here
on business. I work in I work in d C. Yeah,
but I'm in Chicago for the weekend. That doesn't make
it any safer.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
No, No, And you could almost be fooled by your
sense of security knowing, well, you'd let your guard desk
so even if you're home. Yes, I feel like I
would be so scared to use I mean the absent
in general, and very thankful I never had to because
they were after my time. But it's like the whole
(09:17):
radius and Miles. Oh no, but that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
I mean I get that, like you if I live
in Arlington, I mean, you.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
Don't necessarily want to date somebody in Richmond.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
The I was going to go the other way, like
like geographic, I don't want to go to Philly.
Speaker 6 (09:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Now, if I were dating somebody and they moved to Philly,
I would drive there, like my life depended on it
for some bagoon. But you don't want to start that way.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
But if I had to do something.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Do you realize how ridiculous it is that Dustin was
going to date long distance to Mexico City, Like that's ridiculous,
Like Dustin.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Does heart wants the heart rises, it's in Mexico the tides.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
Today. No, you know what I mean, Like that's crazy, But.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
People date people who live all over the globe.
Speaker 6 (10:10):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
I dated long distance with Jackie for for nine months
between Houston and New York.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
They Mexico.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Yeah, you know, it's not.
Speaker 6 (10:20):
Known her had known her since middle schools.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
And I also knew that I was moving. I also
knew that I was moving, so we were waiting to
see if I was going to stay in New York
or move to DC. So we knew that was coming.
There was no reason for me to.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
Pay to move for her stuff twice.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
But that sun. Do you know how far a flight
is to Mexico City from here?
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Yes, it's not close.
Speaker 6 (10:42):
No, that's forever.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
That's like saying, oh, you know what, I found someone.
They're awesome. They live in Hawaii, right, But people do it.
Nobody here is dating somebody in No. Absolutely, somebody's in
a long distance and I don't mean that it's your
spouse and they got stationed there, but somebody they met
you've talked.
Speaker 6 (11:03):
To before ward.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
It's like I get to see my significant other like
once every three months.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Oh my god, I'd kill for that. The No, there
is nobody long distance dating. Dating not my job, their job.
Like wet we were engaged in that, like we met.
We met on a weekend in New York. I live
in d C. They live in Maui. And now we're
(11:27):
dating long distance. That's crazy.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
I'm not saying it's easy, but either of you will
do it.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
No way Maui.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Yes, no, yes, And by the way, I take the
Mexico City, d C Richmond distance. People do it with
the West Coast and by the way to get to La.
It takes longer.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Yeah, I'd rather date somebody in San Diego than in Hawaii.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
No, but I'm talking about you. First couldn't believe Mexico
City and said that was a preposterous idea.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
It is. He'll do It's people.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Not only do it, but they thrive.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
I would bet there is nobody nobody listening right now
who is dating somebody in California. Again, don't tell me
their stationed. Don't tell me. They were just transferred like
we were together and now they live there, but started
dating and they live in I flew to La for
(12:23):
a long weekend. I met this chick. She's awesome. We're
dating long distance. No, you're not.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
So are you going to play that game where they're
gonna describe the relationship and you're not going to count it?
Speaker 1 (12:33):
No, no't count I don't do that.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
I'll count it.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
It's also almost eleven am.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
I'll do it tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
You'll definitely find it tomorrow. People also, you're yeah, see
he's half the people can't listen today.
Speaker 6 (12:48):
Yeah, because you're a static against us.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
People at an eleven am.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
People think we're already off for the day and time off.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
No, but trust me, nobody thinks Tamo was on. What
they may if they're listening, if the radio is on,
they know she's not.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
So I don't know if it's the fairest of questions
to ask. Right now, you're gonna write down for tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
I'm gonna write that down.
Speaker 6 (13:12):
And I found your quote too long?
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Duck, not really, what's my quote?
Speaker 4 (13:21):
A rising tide lifts all ships. That's exactly what I said,
kind of, isn't it? All ships rise?
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (13:27):
I'm sorry, that's what you said.
Speaker 2 (13:28):

Speaker 6 (13:29):
Originally traded to John F.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Kennedy who got it from Confucius who also told us.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
And then mine was the heart wants what it wants.
That's Selena Gomes, who got it from Confusius, who also
said
