00:00What's the most insane thing that you just get into a relationship with somebody, and
00:04what's the craziest thing they asked you right off the bat?
00:0799.5 QIK, it's Mark and Melanie, Tampa Bay, it's Morning Crew.
00:10This story here, and by the way, Melanie wrote a great blog about this.
00:14It's on 99.5QIK.com, it's on the Morning Crew page.
00:18This guy's in a new relationship with this woman, okay?
00:23And she asked him to turn on the read receipts, the red receipts.
00:29I don't know if it's read or read receipts.
00:30I guess it doesn't matter.
00:31Yeah.
00:32That would notify her that he has seen the text.
00:36And, you know, this happens to me sometimes.
00:38Well, you'll get an email or a text, and it'll say, the person has also sent you a read receipt.
00:43Would you confirm that, you know, that you want to sign up and do that with them?
00:46And I'm just like, no.
00:48Why do they have to know when I'm reading and not reading?
00:50Yeah, there is definitely a setting.
00:52If you notice, you can tell who has it on and who doesn't.
00:55Right.
00:55Because when you're texting with someone who has it on, you can usually see that bubble that they're typing.
01:00Right.
01:01You can see it says seen underneath the messages.
01:04So my sister and I, we can see.
01:06That's why I'll call her out.
01:07I'll be like, I know you saw that message and you haven't replied yet.
01:09All right.
01:10But you and your sister is one thing, but a new relationship.
01:12Yeah.
01:13This is crazy.
01:14Crazy.
01:15This is next level.
01:16I was trying to see how long it was going to take him to respond to all of her text messages, which is great.
01:21It's like, you just got in a relationship with this person.
01:23Bro, run.
01:24Run now.
01:25This is your sign.
01:26Fast.
01:27Yeah.
01:28Eric is the guy who went on a first date with this person.
01:31And it obviously went well because they were going to go on another.
01:34They started texting.
01:35She said, on the way to the gym right now, can you do me a favor?
01:37He said, yeah.
01:38What do you need?
01:39And this is all in a screenshot that he posted to Twitter.
01:41Yeah.
01:41Things went so well.
01:42He posted all the text messages to Twitter.
01:44That's how well things were going.
01:46Click on my contact.
01:48Press the I.
01:49Then turn on read receipts.
01:50And he said, what?
01:51Exclamation.
01:52Question mark.
01:52Exclamation point.
01:53And yeah, that was the end of that, I think.
01:55That was the end of that.
01:56So she needed to know when he was seeing him.
01:59And she was probably just trying to gauge, you know, how long it was going to take to respond.
02:03And this is brand new relationship.
02:06I mean, man.
02:06You know what, though?
02:07To her credit, maybe she's been through a few things and she's tired of the games.
02:13She wants to know.
02:15Did he see the text?
02:16Did he not see the text?
02:17Quit playing.
02:17I give Buck a lot of credit.
02:19He tried hard.
02:20I mean, he really was like, I got to find a way to make this woman seem normal and these
02:25actions seem normal.
02:26You have a way of doing that to make crazy sound normal.
02:29So well done.
02:30It didn't work.
02:31But you did give it a good shot.
02:32I actually thought he had a good point, but it's still crazy.
02:36I thought maybe like the angle was like, if she was like, look, I'm just very organized
02:40and I just have to keep all of her.
02:42But even as I'm saying that, I can't buy that.
02:44Because if someone was like, I need to know when you're reading all my stuff and when you're
02:47going to respond, like, I just have to know.
02:49That's too much.
02:49Her last boyfriend probably never wrote back and she's sick of it.
02:54I want to be seen.
02:55I want my text to be seen.
02:57Or she's crazy.
02:58Or she's crazy.
03:00Have you asked someone to do this, Buck?
03:02No, no.
03:02I feel like you're very, you are doing a good job at defending why people should have the
03:07read receipt on.
03:08Half the text, listen, half the text we all send, after you send them, you're just kind
03:11of like, you know, I hope, I wish I would have never sent that.
03:13I hope they never read it.
03:14Oh, totally.
03:15You know what I mean?
03:16Instead of like, confirm to me that you've read this and understand it.
03:19I almost, I'm like, nah, this goes the other way.
03:21I almost said, I wish there was a buyback button where you could send a text and you actually
03:25get 30 seconds.
03:26And actually, I do think there's an app that you can do that with.
03:28It holds it for 30 seconds.
03:30It does.
03:30And then it'll pop up and go, do you really want to send?
03:32Nope, I don't.
03:33You're right.
03:34Thanks for asking.
03:34I don't want to send this text.
03:35I know you can unsend on Instagram if they haven't seen it yet and you're in someone's
03:39DM and you send them a message.
03:40Oh, have you ever used that?
03:42Oh my gosh, yes.
03:43For what?
03:44I just am an awkward person and I say the wrong thing.
03:47I think I send something back and I go, oh wait, that was, I need to not say that.
03:50And then I hit unsend.
03:51I second guess basically everything I do in life.
03:54So this is not a surprise.
03:55I did not know about the Instagram unsend thing.
03:56I'm going to check it out.
03:57All right.
03:57So 800-992-1099.
04:00We're looking for the strangest request.
04:03The strangest request somebody ever made.
04:05This is a brand new relationship.
04:07Like they had only been on one date, I think.
04:09Yeah, one date.
04:10One date.
04:11And she's like, turn on the receipts.
04:12I got to know.
04:13I got to know.
04:14Or is it not that bad?
04:16Are people on the other side?
04:17Yeah, maybe we're crazy.
04:19I mean, that's always in play.
04:20That wouldn't surprise me.
04:22Call us or text us.
