Catfish: The TV Show (2012–…): Season 3, Episode 3 - Antoinette & Albert - full transcript
A year after meeting "T-lights" on Instagram, "instaceleb" Antointette is ready to take things to the next level and meet "T-lights", but he always brushes off the idea. Is "T-lights" really the online celebrity he claims to be?
>> THAT'S THEM, PROBABLY,
RIGHT THERE.
>> YOU CAN LOOK THROUGH
THE SHRUBS.
>> WHAT IS HE DOING?
IS THAT HIS BROTHER?
THIS IS WAY TOO MUCH, RIGHT NOW.
IT'S MAKING ME FEEL,
LIKE, MORE ANXIOUS.
>> DO YOU WANT TO JUST--LET'S
JUST WALK OVER THERE.
>> NO.
WHAT CAN THEY POSSIBLY BE
SAYING?
OH, MY GOSH.
>> ALL RIGHT.
ROLL.
SEASON THREE. ACTION.
OUR STUNNINGLY HANDSOME
CAMERA GUY.
>> THERE'S DAVE, OUR EXECUTIVE
PRODUCER AND SHOWRUNNER.
>> HEY, MAX.
>> BEHIND THIS DOOR
IS OUR SOUND GUY.
DUSTIN CAN'T LEAVE.
THIS IS HIS OFFICE.
SO EVEN WHEN I'M ON THE TOILET,
IT GET'S A LITTLE UNCOMFORTABLE.
BUT IT'S NOT--
I'LL HOLD THIS UP LIKE THIS.
[laughter]
HERE WE GO.
>> ALL RIGHT.
>> WE GOT OUR FIRST TASK.
SUBJECT:
"TOGETHER WE HAVE OVER 44,000
INSTAGRAM FOLLOWERS,
BUT WE REMAIN APART.
HELLO, NEV AND MAX.
MY NAME IS ANTOINETTE,
AND I'M 21 YEARS OLD.
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN BIG ON SOCIAL
NETWORKS, BUT I'VE BEEN ON
INSTAGRAM THE LONGEST,
AND HAVE BUILT IT UP TO ABOUT
15,000 FOLLOWERS.
EVERY TIME I POST A PHOTO,
I GET TONS OF LIKES AND
COMMENTS, SOME OF THEM
NEGATIVE, SO MOST OF THE TIME
I DON'T RESPOND.
BUT ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO,
I NOTICED A REALLY CUTE GUY
BY THE NAME OF T-LIGHTS
FOLLOWING ME.
HE IS 22 YEARS OLD,
RAPPER/SINGER FROM BOCA RATON,
FLORIDA.
I GAVE HIM MY HANDLE,
AND WE STARTED CHATTING,
AND WE CLICKED RIGHT AWAY.
WE TEXT, WE TALK ON THE PHONE,
AND WE TALK ALL DAY,
LIKE BASICALLY 24/7."
>> * BABY, PLEASE DON'T LEAVE *
* 'CAUSE IF YOU GO *
* YOU TAKE ALL OF ME
* 'CAUSE YOU ARE MY SOUL *
>> "T-LIGHTS IS ALWAYS BUSY
WITH HIS MUSIC."
WE'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE.
>> OH, GOD.
BUSY WITH THE MUSIC.
"IT SEEMS TO BE HIS MAJOR
EXCUSE FOR EVERYTHING.
HE NEVER HAS TIME TO VIDEO CHAT.
HE ALWAYS SAYS THAT HIS WI-FI
CONNECTION IS BAD
OR HIS PHONE BATTERY IS LOW."
T-LIGHTS, COME ON, BUDDY.
BETTER EXCUSES.
>> "I TRUST T-LIGHTS,
BUT I'M HOPING TO MOVE
TO CALIFORNIA WITHIN
THE NEXT YEAR, AND I NEED
TO KNOW IF MY RELATIONSHIP WITH
T-LIGHTS IS WORTH CONTINUING OR
IF I SHOULD COMPLETELY MOVE ON
FROM MY INSTAGRAM CRUSH."
>> * YOU ARE MY SOUL
* MY SOUL
*
>> LET'S GET ANTOINETTE.
>> ANTOINETTE.
>> HI.
>> WOW. THAT IS SOME JACKET.
>> IT'S A VEST.
>> OR VEST.
>> YEAH. DON'T MESS WITH HER.
>> YIKES.
WE JUST SAW YOUR EMAIL.
INSTAGRAM CRUSH.
WHAT IS IT ABOUT HIM
THAT DRAWS YOU TO HIM?
>> IT'S LIKE, OBVIOUSLY, WE
LIVE, LIKE, FAR FROM EACH OTHER,
BUT WE BUILT A CONNECTION TO
WHERE WE TRUST EACH OTHER, LIKE,
EVEN THOUGH WE HAVEN'T MET
IN PERSON OR SEEN EACH OTHER.
WE DEFINITELY CARE ABOUT EACH
OTHER, LIKE, WITH ALL OF OUR
HEARTS.
HE'S TOLD ME THINGS
THAT HE'S NEVER TOLD ANYONE.
>> HAS HE EVER BEEN ABLE
TO DEFINITIVELY PROVE TO YOU
THAT HE IS HIM?
>> UM, NO.
I'VE NEVER SEEN HIM ON,
YOU KNOW, LIKE, A CAMERA
OR IN PERSON.
SO NO.
>> DON'T YOU THINK IT'S A LITTLE
WEIRD THAT YOU'VE NEVER
VIDEO CHATTED WITH HIM?
>> YEAH, IT IS.
THAT'S WHY, I MEAN, LIKE,
I HAVE LITTLE DOUBTS.
AND THAT'S OBVIOUSLY
ONE OF THEM.
IT'S BEEN TOO LONG.
I FEEL LIKE IT'S TIME TO,
LIKE, MEET HIM.
>> GET READY FOR AN ADVENTURE.
>> I AM BEYOND READY.
>> SEE YOU IN DALLAS.
>> BYE.
>> BYE.
>> MAN.
>> OOF.
>> OBVIOUSLY,
SOME VERY BIG RED FLAGS HERE.
>> RAPPER.
IT'S NEVER A UKULELE PLAYER.
IT'S ALWAYS A RAPPER.
>> WE'LL FIND OUT MORE AS WE GO.
DALLAS, GUYS.
DAY ONE.
[upbeat pop music]
*
I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU, IT FEELS
GOOD TO BE BACK ON THE ROAD.
>> WE ARE BACK ON THE ROAD.
*
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH.
>> IN HER BRAIN.
>> ALL RIGHT.
SO WE'RE MEETING HER AT WORK?
>> YEAH.
>> IS THIS IT?
[laughs] NO WAY.
THAT'S WHERE SHE WORKS?
REDNECK HEAVEN?
ALL RIGHT, WE'VE ARRIVED.
>> IS IT?
>> THIS IS A NICE PLACE
FOR SATURDAY BRUNCH.
CASUAL.
I SPY ANTOINETTE.
>> HELLO.
>> ANTOINETTE.
>> OH, MY GOD.
>> HEY.
>> OH, MY GOSH.
>> OH, WATCH YOUR HEAD.
>> HERE, WILL YOU PUT SOMETHING
ON, PLEASE?
JESUS.
>> YEAH. I'M COLD.
>> SO THIS IS WHERE YOU WORK?
>> YEP. THIS IS IT.
>> AND YOU ENJOY IT?
>> I GET TO WORK WITH
MY BEST FRIEND.
>> OH, WHO'S YOUR BEST FRIEND?
>> IT'S LAUREN.
I'M GONNA INTRODUCE Y'ALL
TO HER.
>> OH, OKAY. GREAT.
>> LAUREN.
THIS IS LAUREN.
>> HELLO, LAUREN.
>> NICE TO MEET YOU.
>> HELLO.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
>> HOW YOU DOING?
>> GOOD.
>> WELL, WE TRIED ONCE,
WHENEVER WE WENT TO
SPRING BREAK.
>> OH, YEAH? WAIT A SECOND.
WHAT HAPPENED?
>> I WENT THERE FOR SPRING BREAK
LAST YEAR WITH HER
AND HER BOYFRIEND AND A FEW
OTHER PEOPLE.
RIGHT BEFORE THAT,
WE GOT IN AN ARGUMENT.
RANDOMLY, HIS ATTITUDE WAS JUST,
LIKE, CHANGING.
AND I WAS LIKE, "OKAY, WELL,
THIS IS ANNOYING ME."
SO I WAS--
>> SO HE STARTED ACTING LIKE
A JERK RIGHT AROUND THE TIME
YOU WERE GONNA MEET HIM.
I MEAN, ISN'T THAT
KIND OF WEIRD?
>> KIND OF.
BUT HE REACHED OUT TO ME
AFTER THAT, AND I GUESS--
>> GEEZ.
>> IT BOTHERED HIM.
>> SHE'S SO STUBBORN.
>> YEAH.
>> LAUREN, WOULD YOU MIND?
CAN WE BORROW ANTOINETTE
FOR A FEW MINUTES?
>> YEAH, YOU CAN HAVE HER.
>> STEP INTO OUR OFFICE.
WHAT'S FUNNY IS THAT IF WE MET
T-LIGHTS, AND HE SAID,
"HEY, HERE'S THIS GIRL
I'VE BEEN TALKING TO FOR
THE LAST TWO YEARS,"
WE'D BE LIKE, "DUDE,
SHE'S FAKE."
>> NO WAY.
>> THIS GIRL DOES NOT NEED TO
GO ONLINE TO FIND A GUY.
>> IT'S KIND OF HARD TO EXPLAIN,
HONESTLY.
I GREW UP WITH, LIKE,
ALL THE GUYS WHERE I'M FROM.
I KNOW ALL THEM SINCE
I WAS LITTLE.
IT'S JUST LIKE, I, YOU KNOW--
LIKE, NEW PEOPLE AROUND THE
WORLD, LIKE, INTEREST ME MORE.
YOU KNOW?
>> THIS IS OLD NEWS, YEAH.
>> I DON'T REALLY CARE TO TALK
TO ANYONE HERE.
>> WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT T-LIGHTS
AND YOU THINK ABOUT
THE POSSIBILITY OF MEETING HIM,
WHAT'S SORT OF YOUR DREAM
SCENARIO?
>> WELL, I WANT TO MOVE ANYWAY,
AND I WANT TO LIVE BY THE BEACH.
AND HE GREW UP THERE.
SO MAYBE I WOULD, LIKE,
MOVE THERE AND THEN,
POTENTIALLY, LIKE,
LIVE TOGETHER IF WE KEEP
GETTING, LIKE, CLOSER
AND CLOSER ON THAT LEVEL.
>> DO YOU FEEL LIKE
YOU LOVE HIM?
>> WE, LIKE, YOU KNOW--
WE DON'T SAY, LIKE, "I LOVE YOU"
BECAUSE I'M GONNA, LIKE,
GUARD MY HEART.
LIKE, I'M NOT JUST GONNA SAY
THAT WHEN I HAVEN'T MET
THE PERSON.
HE, LIKE, TELLS ME THAT HE
TRUSTS ME, WHICH, LIKE,
MEANS A LOT.
I DON'T TRUST A LOT OF PEOPLE,
SO THAT'S ATTRACTIVE
WHEN GUYS ARE LIKE THAT.
I HAVE A VOICEMAIL,
IF Y'ALL WANT TO HEAR HIS VOICE.
>> YEAH. I'D LIKE TO.
I'LL--WE'LL SWING AROUND
A LITTLE BIT.
>> AT WHAT POINT DID YOU GUYS
EXCHANGE CELL PHONE NUMBERS?
>> HE ASKED ME FOR MY KIK
SO WE DIDN'T HAVE TO
PUT OUR NUMBERS ON INSTAGRAM.
AND THEN HE KIKED ME,
AND WE EXCHANGED NUMBERS THERE.
>> BUT INSTAGRAM'S PUBLIC,
SO SOMEONE COULD HAVE SEEN
THAT THIS GUY SPOKE TO YOU ON
INSTAGRAM, AND THEN IMPERSONATED
HIM ON KIK.
>> THAT'S A STRETCH, BUT SURE.
>> WE'VE SEEN THAT BEFORE.
>> LET'S JUST GO TO HIS
INSTAGRAM.
WOW, OKAY.
CUTE GUY.
HE SAYS, "I SING IN THE
TWENTYS," WHICH IS HIS GROUP.
>> HE HAS ALMOST 30,000
FOLLOWERS.
HE'S INSTA-FAMOUS.
>> THERE YOU GO.
>> UH-OH.
>> NOTHING CRAZY.
HE'S KIND OF LIKE A MORE MANLY
VERSION OF JUSTIN BIEBER.
>> THEY HAVE A BRAND-NEW
MUSIC VIDEO.
>> YEAH.
THAT'S ONE OF THEIR NEWEST ONES.
>> * I SAID, BABY
* WHAT'S GOOD? *
* I KNOW IT'S KIND OF FUN *
>> WHICH ONE IS HE?
>> HE'S ON THE LEFT.
GABI'S ON THE RIGHT.
>> THIS IS, LIKE,
A PRETTY LEGIT VIDEO.
>> YEAH.
>> AND WHAT'S THIS
TECHNO TUESDAY?
>> I THINK IT'S AT, LIKE,
A CLUB THEY DO.
>> WAIT. ON DECEMBER 17TH.
WHAT DAY IS TODAY?
>> THE 15TH, I THINK.
>> HOLY SMOKES.
WE GOT TO GO.
>> I KNOW. I NOTICED THAT.
>> WE SHOULD GO.
>> I KNOW.
HE'S BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT TO ME
ON TEXT MESSAGES.
>> THIS GUY SEEMS TO HAVE
A LOT GOING ON.
>> YEAH.
>> SO WHAT ARE THE THINGS
THAT DON'T ADD UP?
>> IN THE VERY BEGINNING,
I'VE ASKED HIM TO FACETIME,
BUT THAT WAS, LIKE, LITERALLY
THE FIRST, LIKE, WEEK OR TWO
THAT WE STARTED, LIKE, TEXTING.
HE SAID HE WAS, LIKE, DOING
SOMETHING IN THE STUDIO,
WHICH IS USUALLY WHAT HE SAYS.
"I'M IN THE STUDIO."
THAT'S ALWAYS HIS BIGGEST
EXCUSE FOR DIFFERENT THINGS.
IT STILL STRESSES ME OUT,
LIKE, ALL THE TIME.
OH, THIS IS ANOTHER THING
THAT WAS KIND OF WEIRD TO ME
THAT WAS BOTHERING ME ALSO.
HE'LL BE LURKING ON ME ON
INSTAGRAM, AND HE'LL RANDOMLY
TAKE A SCREENSHOT AND SEND IT
TO ME.
AND HE'LL BE LIKE, "YOU'LL BE,
LIKE, SO PERFECT, BAE."
OR SOMETHING.
LIKE, HE'LL SEND THAT
AT RANDOM TIMES.
>> THAT IS WEIRD,
TO TAKE SCREEN GRABS
AND SEND THEM BACK.
SOMETHING'S NOT ADDING UP.
>> THERE IS POSITIVE THINGS THAT
MAKE ME BELIEVE HE IS WHO HE IS,
BUT THERE'S STUFF THAT'S, LIKE,
SKETCHY THAT BOTHERS ME AND THAT
I THINK ABOUT ALL THE TIME.
SO THERE'S OBVIOUSLY DOUBTS.
>> IS WHAT YOU WANT TO HAVE US
HELP YOU GO AND MEET HIM?
OR IS WHAT YOU WANT JUST TO--
>> YES.
BECAUSE I WOULD, LIKE,
NEVER GO BY MYSELF TO DO IT.
I FEEL LIKE THIS IS THE BIGGEST
SUPPORT SYSTEM THAT YOU COULD
HAVE.
AND, LIKE, I CANNOT DO SOMETHING
LIKE THAT BY MYSELF.
EVEN IF I WANTED TO, I WOULDN'T
'CAUSE I'M JUST SMART ENOUGH
TO KNOW THAT THAT'S RIDICULOUS
AND TOO DANGEROUS.
>> ARE YOU READY TO DEAL WITH
WHAT COULD BE SOME BAD NEWS?
>> I'M PREPARED TO GET ANSWERS.
>> WELL, THEN WE'VE GOT A LOT
OF WORK TO DO.
INVESTIGATION TIME.
WE'RE GONNA GO.
>> OKAY.
WE'RE GONNA GET STRAIGHT TO
WORK.
HOPEFULLY, WE'LL FIGURE THIS
OUT, AND WE'LL GET YOU ANSWERS.
ALL RIGHT.
>> THANK YOU.
>> BYE.
>> BYE.
>> ALL RIGHT, NEV.
THAT'S KIND OF A NEW ONE.
>> THIS IS INTERESTING.
>> YEAH.
>> SHE'S SKEPTICAL.
LIKE, SHE'S PROTECTING HERSELF,
AND SHE'S LOOKING FOR--
>> SHE'S PRETTY, LIKE, ON IT.
>> TOTALLY.
>> I MEAN, SHE'S OBSERVANT.
SHE'S LOOKING FOR THINGS
THAT LOOK WEIRD.
>> YEAH.
THE BIG SORT OF WEIRD THING,
THOUGH, IS IF I WAS THAT GUY,
AND I HAD THIS VERY BEAUTIFUL
GIRL WHO I HAD BEEN TALKING TO
FOR YEARS INTERESTED IN ME...
>> YEAH.
>> I WOULD WANT TO SEE HER.
SO WHAT IS HE HIDING?
>> MAX, CLOSE YOUR EYES.
DO YOU TRUST ME?
>> YES.
>> SO IF I SAY, BEND YOUR KNEES
AND SIT BACK, DO YOU TRUST THAT
THERE'S A CHAIR THERE FOR YOU?
>> YEAH.
>> ALL RIGHT, SIT DOWN.
NO, YOU CAN'T DO THAT.
YOU CAN'T FEEL.
THAT'S THE TRUST.
DO IT, BUDDY.
YEAH!
>> I GUESS I CAN TRUST YOU.
>> SO BASICALLY WHAT WE'VE GOT
IS A GIRL WHO REALLY LIKES
THIS GUY T-LIGHTS.
BUT SHE'S BEING CAREFUL BECAUSE
SHE KNOWS SHE'S NEVER MET HIM.
SHE HAS NO HARD EVIDENCE THAT
HE IS EXACTLY WHO HE SAYS HE IS
ON HIS INSTAGRAM AND ON YOUTUBE,
AND ON ALL THESE DIFFERENT
PLATFORMS.
HE SEEMS VERY ABLE TO POST
AND SHARE VIDEO CONTENT.
AND YET, HE'S NEVER ONCE
SENT A LITTLE THREE-SECOND VIDEO
OR 10-SECOND VIDEO
OF HIM PLAYING THE GUITAR.
>> WHY DOESN'T HE POST ANYTHING
THAT'S DIRECTED AT HER?
>> SOMETHING'S GOING ON.
>> SO WHERE DO WE EVEN START?
>> HERE'S HIS TWITTER.
HIS REAL NAME IS ALBERT AMBROSE.
>> HE'S GOT HIS SOUNDCLOUD
LISTED.
>> 8,700 FOLLOWERS.
>> THAT'S AN INTERESTING
PICTURE.
>> AND THEN HE'S GOT
AN INSTAGRAM.
>> THIS IS THE INSTAGRAM PAGE
FOR THE BAND, THE TWENTYS.
>> AND THEY HAVE A LOT
OF FOLLOWERS.
>> SO ALL OF THESE ACCOUNTS
REFERENCE EACH OTHER.
HE'S PRACTICING.
>> * SAY THE [bleep]
* THAT YOU SAID
WHAT?
>> HIS SAYING "WHAT" SOUNDED
A LOT LIKE ANTOINETTE'S
VOICEMAIL.
GO TO THEIR SOUNDCLOUD.
BOCA RATON, FLORIDA.
AND THAT'S HIM IN THE FRONT.
>> WHAT SEEMED TO BE A BIG RED
FLAG--OH, HE'S A RAP ARTIST
MUSICIAN--IT'S VERY
REALISTICALLY SORT OF
SMALL AND MODEST,
AND THEY'RE DOING LOCAL GIGS.
>> BUT WE NEED TO KNOW THAT THIS
GUY FROM THIS GROUP IS ACTUALLY
THE GUY THAT'S TALKING TO HER.
HOW DO WE PROVE THAT?
>> THE ONLY THING THAT WE HAVE
FOR HIM IS A PHONE NUMBER.
>> WE KNOW THAT SHE'S BEEN
TALKING TO HIM ON THE PHONE,
SO WE KNOW THAT THAT NUMBER
BELONGS TO WHOEVER SHE'S BEEN
TALKING TO.
LET'S RUN IT.
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO GET?
[sighs]
WHOA.
WHO'S THAT?
CARMEN ESSAYE,
55 TO 59 YEARS OLD.
THAT'S AN INTERESTING TWIST.
>> WHITE PAGES,
THERE'S ASSOCIATED PEOPLE,
WHICH OFTEN MEANS RELATIVES.
AND THERE'S SOMEONE NAMED
JOSEPH.
LET'S LOOK UP THIS GUY,
JOSEPH ESSAYE.
ALL RIGHT.
HERE IS JOSEPH'S PAGE.
HE LIVES IN BOCA RATON.
HE'S MARRIED.
>> HOLD ON.
[gasps]
DO YOU SEE THAT?
IT SAYS, "MY BRO'S
LATEST MUSIC VIDEO."
>> HERE'S HIS FAMILY.
ALBERT, CARMEN.
CARMEN ESSAYE.
PROBABLY HIS MOM.
>> PROBABLY HIS MOM.
>> THERE HE IS WITH HIS BROTHER.
>> THAT'S HIM AND HIS BROTHER.
>> MORE EVIDENCE THAT
HE'S TELLING THE TRUTH.
>> YEAH.
WE LOOKED UP THE PHONE NUMBER.
IT IS REGISTERED TO THEIR MOM.
CARMEN IS THE MOTHER
OF BOTH JOSEPH AND ALBERT.
THIS GIRL IS GONNA LUCK OUT.
THERE'S HIS PHONE NUMBER.
>> IF WE GET THIS GUY
ON THE PHONE AND HE SAYS--
>> EASY.
>> YEAH. WE'RE--
>> WE'RE IN.
[line ringing]
>> SOUNDS LIKE HIM.
>> A LOT LIKE HIM.
>> JOSEPH'S VOICE SOUNDS A LOT
LIKE HIS LITTLE BROTHER'S.
>> THAT'S INTERESTING.
>> LET'S GO TO THE TWENTYS' PAGE
HERE AND SEE WHO WE CAN CONTACT.
HERE'S THEIR MANAGER,
AND HIS NAME IS LUKE.
>> LET'S CALL LUKE.
LET'S JUST ASK HIM WHOSE PHONE
NUMBER THAT NUMBER SHE'S BEEN
TALKING TO IS.
[line ringing]
>> YES. HELLO, LUKE.
HOW YOU DOING?
GOOD.
THIS IS NEV SCHULMAN
FROM THE MTV SHOW CATFISH.
STRANGE AS THIS MAY SEEM,
I THINK YOU CAN HELP US
ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS
WE MAY HAVE.
WE'RE IN TEXAS RIGHT NOW
WITH A YOUNG LADY WHO HAS,
FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS,
BEEN TALKING TO
YOUR FRIEND ALBERT.
WE HAVE A PHONE NUMBER
FOR ALBERT.
WHAT WOULD BE GREAT IS IF YOU
COULD JUST TELL US IF IT IS
HIS CELL PHONE NUMBER.
RIGHT, SO--
NO, TOTALLY.
SO ALL I'M ASKING IS IF I GIVE
YOU THE NUMBER THAT WE HAVE,
IF YOU COULD JUST SAY YES OR NO,
THAT'S HIS NUMBER.
THE NUMBER WE HAVE IS 561-
[bleep].
THAT IS NOT HIS NUMBER.
OKAY.
YOU DON'T HAPPEN TO KNOW WHOSE
PHONE NUMBER THAT IS, DO YOU?
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD HIM TALK
ABOUT A GIRL NAMED ANTOINETTE?
>> DOES HE HAVE ANYONE HELPING
HIM SORT THROUGH ALL THAT SOCIAL
MEDIA, MAIL, AND WHATNOT?
>> AND HIS OLDER BROTHER
JOSEPH IS--HE'S THE MARRIED
BROTHER, RIGHT?
AND THEY HAVE PRETTY SIMILAR
SOUNDING VOICES.
I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP.
ALL RIGHT. LATER.
>> BROTHERS' VOICES ARE SO
SIMILAR THAT HE CAN'T TELL
THE DIFFERENCE.
>> EVEN A CLOSE FRIEND CAN'T
TELL THE DIFFERENCE.
AND THAT'S NOT
HIS CELL PHONE NUMBER.
OKAY, WAIT A SECOND.
ONE WEIRD THING THAT NOW
KIND OF MAKES SENSE
IS REMEMBER WHEN ANTOINETTE
SAID, "HE JUST SCREEN GRABS
MY POSTS AND TEXTS THEM TO ME."
SHE SHOWED US ONE.
IT WAS A SCREEN GRAB OF
THE INSTAGRAM POST WITH SOME
COMMENTS, AND THEN HIS TEXT
UNDERNEATH.
HE'S NOT ACTUALLY USING
THE ALBERT AMBROSE INSTAGRAM.
>> PRETTY WEIRD, YEAH.
>> YEAH, THAT'S WEIRD,
WHICH WOULD MAKE SENSE
IF IT WASN'T REALLY ALBERT.
>> RIGHT.
>> IT'S NOT IMPOSSIBLE
THAT TWO YEARS AGO,
ALBERT WAS SHOWING HIS BROTHER
THIS SUPER-HOT GIRL,
AND THAT HE WAS LIKE, "WOW.
SHE IS REALLY HOT."
AND THEN HE NOTICED
THAT SHE HAD POSTED HER HANDLE.
HE WAS LIKE, "OH, I WANT TO TALK
TO THIS GIRL."
AND HE HIT HER UP.
IF IT IS THE BROTHER,
WE'RE ENTERING INTO A SORT OF
VERY STICKY SITUATION.
BECAUSE AS FAR AS WE CAN TELL,
HE IS CURRENTLY MARRIED.
>> SO HIS WHOLE LIFE COULD
ESSENTIALLY BE RUINED
IF WE GO TO FLORIDA TO MEET HIM.
>> HOW DO WE DEAL WITH THAT?
ALBERT'S A REAL DUDE.
HE'S IN THIS BAND.
PICTURES ARE HIM.
HE'S LEGIT.
WE JUST DON'T KNOW
WHO'S HOLDING THAT PHONE.
>> HOLY [bleep].
>> WHY WOULD SHE POST THAT?
>> I FEEL LIKE WE GLOSSED OVER
THE IMAGE THAT SHE'S PUTTING
FORTH ON INSTAGRAM.
>> I HAVE MORE QUESTIONS
FOR ANTOINETTE NOW.
AND WE HAVE SOME INFORMATION
WE CAN GIVE HER.
[line ringing]
HEY, GOOD MORNING, ANTOINETTE.
WE SPENT A LONG TIME YESTERDAY
SORT OF DOING SOME RESEARCH.
WE'VE GOT SOME LEADS,
SO WE WANT TO KNOW
IF WE CAN COME AND MEET YOU
AND GO OVER ALL THIS.
[doorbell rings]
HEY.
>> HI.
>> HEY.
>> HOW ARE YOU?
>> GOOD.
I'M GONNA INTRODUCE Y'ALL
TO MY DAD.
>> HEY.
>> GOOD TO MEET YOU.
>> MORNING, SIR. HOW ARE YOU?
SO OBVIOUSLY, WE DON'T HAVE TO
TELL YOU THAT YOUR DAUGHTER'S IN
A RELATIONSHIP.
WHAT IS YOUR IMPRESSION
OF THIS YOUNG MAN?
>> I KNOW NOTHING, BUT THE
ISSUES I'VE HAD WITH HER SOCIAL
MEDIA BEHAVIOR AND THEN,
YOU KNOW, TELLING ME THAT SHE'S
TALKED TO SOMEONE ONLINE WHO
SHE'S NEVER MET AND HAS A DESIRE
TO MAYBE GO DOWN THERE AND MEET,
THAT'S NOT AT ALL
WHAT I WANT TO HEAR.
WE'VE HAD SEVERAL DISCUSSIONS
ABOUT SOCIAL MEDIA.
I TELL ANTOINETTE ALL THE TIME
PERCEPTION IS EVERYTHING.
AS SHE PROGRESSES IN LIFE
AND WANTS TO GO OFF TO COLLEGE
OR EVENTUALLY HAVE A CAREER,
SOMETIMES THOSE THINGS
CAN COME BACK AND HAUNT YOU.
>> I'VE HONESTLY, LIKE,
CLEANED THEM BOTH OUT.
ALL MY SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS.
>> SO WE'RE SEEING THE CLEAN
VERSION?
>> YEAH.
>> I'M GONNA GET REALLY
SPECIFIC, THEN.
>> OKAY.
>> WHY IS THERE A VIDEO OF YOU
SHAKING YOUR ASS CHEEKS--
>> DANCING? YEAH.
>> RIGHT IN FRONT OF A CAMERA.
LIKE, WHAT IS THAT?
>> I THOUGHT THAT WAS DELETED.
>> I KNOW SOME PEOPLE ARE
PROBABLY LIKE, "THAT'S REALLY
STUPID."
BUT ME AND MY BEST FRIEND--
LIKE MY VERY FEW, CLOSE FRIENDS,
WE WERE JUST LIKE, I DON'T KNOW.
I JUST STARTED DANCING.
DOING WHAT WE WANT.
LIKE, THERE'S NOT MUCH TO DO
AROUND HERE.
WE JUST DO IT FOR FUN.
I'M STILL THE NICE, LIKE,
CARING PERSON THAT I AM.
THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HOW
I DRESS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
>> THE CONCERN THAT I WOULD HAVE
IS THAT, YOU KNOW,
A YEAR OR TWO FROM NOW
YOU MIGHT GO FOR A JOB
APPLICATION SOMEWHERE,
AND THEY MIGHT SEARCH YOUR NAME.
AND THE FIRST TEN THINGS THAT
COME UP MIGHT BE THINGS THAT
YOU MIGHT NOT WANT THEM TO SEE.
>> YEAH.
DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU'RE TRYING
TO GET AS YOUR JOB.
>> RIGHT. EXACTLY.
>> YEAH, THAT'S AN OBVIOUS.
>> MY CONCERN WITH THIS
SITUATION IS, AGAIN,
HIS PERCEPTION MAY BE SOMETHING
DIFFERENT THAN WHAT SHE REALLY
IS.
AND I CERTAINLY DON'T WANT HER
TO FEEL LIKE SHE HAS TO LIVE UP
TO THAT WHEN SHE DOES MEET HIM.
>> YOU GOT A GOOD DAD.
>> I KNOW.
>> IF YOU GUYS END UP
TAKING A TRIP,
I'D APPRECIATE YOU TAKING CARE
OF HER AND WATCHING OVER HER.
AND I KNOW YOU HAVE
HER BEST INTERESTS AT HEART.
>> WE WILL.
>> THANK YOU GUYS.
>> SURE, MAN.
>> ALL RIGHT.
NOW WE'RE GOING TO TELL
ANTOINETTE THE RESULTS
OF OUR INVESTIGATION.
ALL RIGHT, PANDORA'S BOX.
>> MAX AND I FEEL KIND OF
VERY STRONGLY NOW
ABOUT TWO SCENARIOS.
THE FIRST THEORY IS THAT
T-LIGHTS IS EXACTLY
WHO HE SAYS HE IS.
>> YEAH.
>> THEN, THOUGH, WE FIGURED,
IF WE'RE GONNA DO OUR JOB WELL,
WE SHOULD ALSO TAKE THE PHONE
NUMBER, WHICH YOU HAD GIVEN US,
AND THESE ARE JUST THE FIRST TWO
THINGS THAT COME UP WHEN YOU DO
A SEARCH FOR THAT NAME.
THIS ONE SORT OF CAUGHT OUR EYE.
>> JOSEPH ESSAYE.
>> MM-HMM.
>> AND WE FOUND A FACEBOOK PAGE.
YOU'VE NEVER SEEN THIS GUY
BEFORE.
>> NO.
>> WE WENT TO THE ABOUT
FOR JOSEPH.
SURE ENOUGH, HE LIVES IN
BOCA RATON.
AND UNDER FAMILY,
ALBERT WILLIAM, BROTHER.
WHEN YOU GO THROUGH THEIR
PHOTOS, YOU SEE A PICTURE
OF ALBERT WITH HIS BROTHER,
AND HIS BROTHER'S WIFE.
SO THE NEXT THING WE DID WAS
WE REACHED OUT TO THE MANAGER
OF THE TWENTYS.
HIS NAME IS LUKE,
AND WE SPOKE TO HIM.
>> UH-HUH.
>> WE ASKED HIM--
>> IF HE HAD EVER HEARD
OF ANTOINETTE.
HE SAID NO.
>> WE READ HIM ALBERT'S NUMBER,
AND IMMEDIATELY HE SAID, "NO.
THAT'S NOT ALBERT'S NUMBER."
IF IT'S NOT ALBERT YOU'VE BEEN
TALKING TO, THEN WHO COULD IT
BE?
>> I WOULD HAVE NO IDEA.
DO Y'ALL?
[giggles]
>> WELL, WE HAVE SOME IDEA.
SO YOU MET ALBERT, AKA T-LIGHTS
ON INSTAGRAM,
AND HE MESSAGED YOU.
YOU THEN MESSAGED BACK.
AND EVENTUALLY GAVE HIM
YOUR HANDLE.
IT'S POSSIBLE THAT BECAUSE
THAT WAS PUBLIC,
THAT SOMEBODY WHO CLOSELY
FOLLOWS ALBERT'S INSTAGRAM...
>> YEAH.
>> COULD HAVE SEEN THAT,
AND THEN REACHED OUT TO YOU,
KNOWING THAT YOU'D BE EXPECTING
A MESSAGE FROM T-LIGHTS,
FROM ALBERT,
AND PRETENDING TO BE HIM.
>> MM-HMM.
>> IF THAT WERE THE CASE,
IT WOULD HAVE TO BE SOMEBODY
CLOSE TO ALBERT,
HAVING THIS RELATIONSHIP
WITH YOU SORT OF BEHIND
ALBERT'S BACK.
>> THAT'S CREEPY.
>> THE STRANGE THING
IS THAT LUKE, THE MANAGER,
SAYS THAT JOSEPH, THE BROTHER,
HELPS OUT WITH, LIKE,
ALL THE SOCIAL MEDIA STUFF.
>> AND THAT HIS BROTHER AND HE
SOUND SO SIMILAR THAT SOMETIMES
EVEN LUKE, THE MANAGER,
CONFUSES THEM ON THE PHONE.
>> WELL, I COULDN'T IMAGINE THAT
VOICE COMING OUT OF THAT GUY.
>> WHAT COULD BE THE CASE
IS THAT AT SOME POINT,
HIS BROTHER JOSEPH
SORT OF SNUCK IN,
GOT YOUR HANDLE,
AND THAT'S WHO YOU'VE BEEN
TALKING AND TEXTING WITH
THIS WHOLE TIME.
>> EW.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.
LIKE, HONESTLY I--THAT'S JUST,
LIKE, GROSS.
>> * WE ARE SHOUTING
* WE ARE WHISPERING
>> IF IT IS HIS BROTHER, LIKE,
WHAT IF HIS WIFE FINDS OUT
AND I HAVE--I HAD NO IDEA.
YOU KNOW?
>> YEAH.
>> LIKE, THAT'S JUST MESSED UP
IN EVERY WAY.
>> I MEAN, THE ONLY THING
WE HAVEN'T DONE YET IS CALLED
ALBERT WITH THE NUMBER THAT YOU
HAVE.
>> YEAH.
>> WE COULD DO IT RIGHT NOW.
>> THE OTHER OPTION
IS THAT WE DON'T SAY ANYTHING.
WE GET ON A PLANE TOMORROW.
WE FLY TO FLORIDA.
AND WE SHOW UP AT THE TWENTYS
SHOW ON TUESDAY,
AND WE SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
BECAUSE IF WE GIVE THEM
A HEADS-UP NOW,
WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY COULD DO.
JOSEPH COULD TALK TO HIS BROTHER
AND SAY, "ALBERT,
I'VE BEEN SCREWING UP.
I NEED YOU TO COVER FOR ME."
>> IF IT IS THE BROTHER,
I--LIKE, I--THAT'S WHERE
THE LINE IS DRAWN, THOUGH.
>> YOU'LL HAVE A CHOICE.
>> YOU'RE THE BOSS.
>> YEAH. TOTALLY.
IT'S YOUR CALL.
WHOEVER IT IS, THEY'RE GONNA BE
AT THAT CLUB ON TUESDAY NIGHT.
>> YEAH.
>> SO WE NEED TO BE THERE, TOO.
>> * OH, OH, OH
* NO ONE GAVE US A MARK
[electronic pop music]
*
>> IS IT THIS ONE?
>> YEP.
>> BING BONG.
>> WHOA.
>> OH, MY GOD.
YOU GOT A LOT OF STUFF.
>> IT'S NOT A LOT.
>> WHAT IS IN HERE?
>> YOU BARELY WEAR ANY CLOTHES.
SO, LIKE, WHAT COULD POSSIBLY
TAKE UP SO MUCH SPACE?
>> THIS THING IS RIDICULOUSLY
HEAVY.
*
YESTERDAY, WHEN WE DISCUSSED
THE IDEA OF GOING DOWN
AND SURPRISING ALBERT,
YOU WERE VERY NERVOUS.
>> I MEAN, IT IS EXTREME.
YOU KNOW, LIKE, IT'S GOING TO
MEET SOMEONE, LIKE, OUT OF STATE
THAT YOU'VE ALWAYS, LIKE,
TALKED ON THE PHONE WITH.
SO OBVIOUSLY IT'S EXCITING
AND NERVE-WRACKING.
>> HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT
WHAT YOU WOULD SAY OR--
>> LIKE, IF IT'S HIM?
>> YEAH.
>> I MEAN, YEAH.
I'LL BE ALL EXCITED.
BUT IF IT'S HIS BROTHER,
THEN I WON'T CARE
TO SAY ANYTHING.
I MIGHT BE LIKE, "OKAY.
YOU SHOULD GO TELL YOUR WIFE
THIS AND BYE."

>> NO.
>> YEAH. COME ON.
>> NO.
WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG?
WHAT COULD THEY POSSIBLY
BE SAYING?
IT'S A SIMPLE QUESTION.
"DO YOU TEXT HER?"
OH, MY GOSH.
>> THIS IS WAY TOO MUCH,
RIGHT NOW.
>> SO NOW HE'S TALKING
WITH THE BROTHER.
WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE
THEY'RE SAYING RIGHT NOW?
>> I DON'T KNOW.
>> WHAT'S HAPPENING?
>> OKAY.
SO HE HAD NO IDEA
THAT WE WERE HERE.
NONE OF THEM DID.
>> WHAT'S THE STORY?
>> "WELL, I'M GUESSING
IT'S BECAUSE OF ANTOINETTE."
AND I WAS LIKE, "SO THAT'S YOU,
RIGHT?
LIKE, THAT'S THE ONE.
YOU'VE BEEN TALKING TO HER."
AND HE'S LIKE, "YEAH."
LET'S JUST WALK OVER THERE.
COME ON.
>> OKAY, BUT WHY IS IT--LIKE,
OH, MY GOSH.
OH, MY GOSH.
>> SO, I DON'T THINK I NEED TO
INTRODUCE HER.
>> OF COURSE.
>> THIS IS ANTOINETTE.

>> WHAT?
>> I WAS IN THE VERY BACK.
>> I WISH I SAW YOU.
>> YOU GUYS KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT THIS?
>> OH, YEAH.
HE'S TOLD ME TONS ABOUT HER.
IT'S ALMOST LIKE JUST HAVING
A FRIENDSHIP, BUT THEY'RE
ATTRACTED TO EACH OTHER,
SO IT'S ALL GOOD.
>> WAIT A SECOND.
SO I WANT TO TALK TO YOU BECAUSE
YOU KNOW THAT, LIKE,
THIS WHOLE TIME WE HAD THIS,
LIKE, SHRED OF DOUBT OR, LIKE,
KIND OF CONCERN THAT MAYBE
SHE WAS TALKING TO YOU.
>> SHE'S A BEAUTIFUL GIRL.
>> NO, BUT WE'RE ALWAYS TRYING
TO CONSIDER EVERY OPTION.
>> SO WHEN YOU SAW US ONSTAGE,
WERE YOU LIKE, "THAT'S LEGIT"?
>> YEAH, IT'S SO LEGIT.
I WAS LIKE, "HE LOOKS THE SAME.
LIKE, HE SOUNDS THE SAME."
LIKE, IT'S EVERYTHING--
>> YEAH.
YOU LOOK THE EXACT SAME.
>> REALLY?
>> YEAH.
>> I LOOK THE EXACT SAME?
>> I STILL CAN'T GET OVER, LIKE,
TURNING TO MY RIGHT AND BEING
LIKE, "DAMN."
YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE, "T!"
I WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE,
"OH, [bleep]."
>> NO.
I DIDN'T WANT TO JUST SHOCK--
>> I WOULD HAVE PROBABLY
STOPPED THE PERFORMANCE
AND BEEN LIKE,
"OKAY, SO SHE'S REAL,
BY THE WAY."
>> RIGHT. NO, RIGHT.
>> NEV CALLED YOUR MANAGER
AND HE TOLD HIM THAT, LIKE--
HE GAVE HIM YOUR NUMBER,
AND HE WAS LIKE,
"SO IS THIS HIS NUMBER?"
AND YOUR MANAGER WAS LIKE, "NO."
>> OH, YEAH, HE TOLD ME.
HE WAS LIKE, "DUDE, I JUST KEPT
TELLING HIM, LIKE, NO."
BECAUSE I WAS LIKE, "DUDE.
I DON'T WANT MY NUMBER TO
ANYONE."
LIKE, I'M PRIVATE ABOUT IT,
YOU KNOW.
>> I HAD TO HAVE THAT AS LIKE
A SMALL, TINY DOUBT.
BUT, LIKE, I JUST KNEW.
>> WE TALK A CERTAIN WAY.
AND, LIKE, NO ONE--I MEAN,
THE EMOJIS, LIKE, WE USE--
>> I FEEL LIKE I--I DON'T KNOW.
I FEEL LIKE I TYPE THE SAME.
LIKE, I DRAG OUT MY WORDS
FOR NO REASON.
>> SO--LIKE 30 LETTERS.
YOU MADE ME DO IT.
THAT'S SO FUNNY.
>> THEY HAVE, LIKE, A WHOLE
SCENE OF ME AND MY DAD.
AND IT'S ME AND MY DAD--
>> HOW IS HE?
IS YOUR DAD CHILL?
>> HE'S, LIKE, TATTED UP.
HE'S FULL-BLOODED ITALIAN.
SO IT'S ME AND MY DAD, AND,
LIKE, THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT,
LIKE, MY SOCIAL NETWORKS, AND,
LIKE, HOW I POST THOSE KIND

AND LIKE, THEY'RE, LIKE--

ACTUALLY ARE.
>> LIKE, YOU KNOW HOW MY TWITTER
WAS, LIKE, REALLY CRAZY?
>> YOU KNOW WHAT'S THE THING,
IT'S LIKE, I'M NOT EVEN TRYING
TO BE, LIKE, CUTE ABOUT IT.
BUT, LIKE, YOU'RE GORGEOUS,
SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE, LIKE,
A RATCHET GIRL WHO'S GONNA POST,
LIKE, ALL THAT STUFF.
>> AND I'M NOT--YEAH.
I'M JUST, LIKE--
>> BUT YOU CAN PUT UP A PICTURE
OF YOU IN A DRESS EVERY DAY
AND STILL GET,
"YO, YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL."
>> I GUESS.
>> YOU KNOW,
IT WASN'T EASY TO GET HER
TO COME HERE.
LIKE, SHOWING UP AT YOUR SHOW
WAS A BIG DEAL FOR HER.
>> IT'S A BIG STEP.
>> THAT'S A HUGE MOVE.
>> THAT'S A HUGE FIRST MOVE.
>> THAT'S TRUE.
>> SO, LOOK.
WE'VE GOT SOME TIME.

>> I AM VERY RELIEVED.
I'M LIKE--I FEEL SO, LIKE,
CLEARED OUT, NOW.
LIKE, JUST, LIKE, STRESS-FREE.
>> SO WHERE'S THIS GONNA GO NOW?
>> STICK AROUND.
CATFISH: THE TV SHOW

THE SAME LOCATION,
NO DOUBT I WOULD TAKE HER OUT
ON A DATE AND WE WOULD SEE
WHAT HAPPENS AND HANG OUT.
AS FAR AS WHAT WILL HAPPEN
FROM NOW ON,
I DON'T KNOW.
>> WE'RE JUST SO INFATUATED
WITH THE FACT THAT WE'RE, LIKE,
IN FRONT OF EACH OTHER.
BUT IT'S JUST HARD 'CAUSE
I'M REALLY CLOSE TO MY FAMILY
IN DALLAS,
AND HE'S REALLY BUSY WITH MUSIC
STUFF RIGHT NOW.
>> * IT MAKES ME WEAK

>> I'M GOOD.
>> WHEN WE WERE ALL TOGETHER,
WE GAVE YOU AND ALBERT SOME
TIME TO HANG OUT.
>> WHAT HAPPENED?
>> WE JUST HUNG OUT.
WE WATCHED, LIKE,
A COUPLE OF MOVIES.
>> DID ANYTHING HAPPEN?
>> WE CUDDLED,
AND WE DIDN'T KISS.
>> WOULD YOU GUYS SAY
THAT YOU'RE DATING?
>> WE PROBABLY WOULDN'T SAY THAT
UNTIL WE SEE EACH OTHER MORE.
>> SO CAREFUL WITH THOSE LABELS.
>> YEAH.
AND HE'S BEEN, LIKE, EVEN BUSIER
WITH THE MUSIC STUFF.
>> HAVE YOU CHANGED ANY OF YOUR
INSTAGRAMMING HABITS?
>> I THOUGHT ABOUT IT MORE,
LIKE, WHEN I TALKED TO Y'ALL
AND, LIKE, MY DAD.
I THOUGHT ABOUT IT MORE AND,
LIKE, I DON'T POST, LIKE,
PROVOCATIVE STUFF LIKE I USED TO
IN VIDEOS AND STUFF.
LIKE, I DELETED A LOT.
SOME OF THE OLD STUFF,
I'M JUST LIKE, "I CAN'T BELIEVE
I POSTED THAT."
BECAUSE IT'S JUST, LIKE,
A LITTLE TOO MUCH.
BUT I GUESS I WAS JUST
BEING IMMATURE.
>> AWESOME.
WELL, IT'S GOOD TALKING TO YOU.

>> WHEN WE DID HANG OUT,
IT WAS JUST, LIKE,

THANKS FOR EVERYTHING. BYE.

>> KIDD COLE.
>> YOU REALLY THINK HE'S WORKING
WITH KANYE WEST?
THE SECURITY TEAM, THE DRIVER,
AND I FINANCED WHATEVER HE

>> I'M THINKING I'M GONNA BE
CHARGED WITH SOMETHING BECAUSE
EVERYTHING IS DONE BY ME.
>> HE WAS GOOD.
HE OKEYDOKEYED US.
>> WE CAN VOUCH FOR HIM.
>> THERE HE IS.
>> MM-HMM.
1560
00:41:03.
RIGHT THERE.
>> YOU CAN LOOK THROUGH
THE SHRUBS.
>> WHAT IS HE DOING?
IS THAT HIS BROTHER?
THIS IS WAY TOO MUCH, RIGHT NOW.
IT'S MAKING ME FEEL,
LIKE, MORE ANXIOUS.
>> DO YOU WANT TO JUST--LET'S
JUST WALK OVER THERE.
>> NO.
WHAT CAN THEY POSSIBLY BE
SAYING?
OH, MY GOSH.
>> ALL RIGHT.
ROLL.
SEASON THREE. ACTION.
OUR STUNNINGLY HANDSOME
CAMERA GUY.
>> THERE'S DAVE, OUR EXECUTIVE
PRODUCER AND SHOWRUNNER.
>> HEY, MAX.
>> BEHIND THIS DOOR
IS OUR SOUND GUY.
DUSTIN CAN'T LEAVE.
THIS IS HIS OFFICE.
SO EVEN WHEN I'M ON THE TOILET,
IT GET'S A LITTLE UNCOMFORTABLE.
BUT IT'S NOT--
I'LL HOLD THIS UP LIKE THIS.
[laughter]
HERE WE GO.
>> ALL RIGHT.
>> WE GOT OUR FIRST TASK.
SUBJECT:
"TOGETHER WE HAVE OVER 44,000
INSTAGRAM FOLLOWERS,
BUT WE REMAIN APART.
HELLO, NEV AND MAX.
MY NAME IS ANTOINETTE,
AND I'M 21 YEARS OLD.
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN BIG ON SOCIAL
NETWORKS, BUT I'VE BEEN ON
INSTAGRAM THE LONGEST,
AND HAVE BUILT IT UP TO ABOUT
15,000 FOLLOWERS.
EVERY TIME I POST A PHOTO,
I GET TONS OF LIKES AND
COMMENTS, SOME OF THEM
NEGATIVE, SO MOST OF THE TIME
I DON'T RESPOND.
BUT ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO,
I NOTICED A REALLY CUTE GUY
BY THE NAME OF T-LIGHTS
FOLLOWING ME.
HE IS 22 YEARS OLD,
RAPPER/SINGER FROM BOCA RATON,
FLORIDA.
I GAVE HIM MY HANDLE,
AND WE STARTED CHATTING,
AND WE CLICKED RIGHT AWAY.
WE TEXT, WE TALK ON THE PHONE,
AND WE TALK ALL DAY,
LIKE BASICALLY 24/7."
>> * BABY, PLEASE DON'T LEAVE *
* 'CAUSE IF YOU GO *
* YOU TAKE ALL OF ME
* 'CAUSE YOU ARE MY SOUL *
>> "T-LIGHTS IS ALWAYS BUSY
WITH HIS MUSIC."
WE'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE.
>> OH, GOD.
BUSY WITH THE MUSIC.
"IT SEEMS TO BE HIS MAJOR
EXCUSE FOR EVERYTHING.
HE NEVER HAS TIME TO VIDEO CHAT.
HE ALWAYS SAYS THAT HIS WI-FI
CONNECTION IS BAD
OR HIS PHONE BATTERY IS LOW."
T-LIGHTS, COME ON, BUDDY.
BETTER EXCUSES.
>> "I TRUST T-LIGHTS,
BUT I'M HOPING TO MOVE
TO CALIFORNIA WITHIN
THE NEXT YEAR, AND I NEED
TO KNOW IF MY RELATIONSHIP WITH
T-LIGHTS IS WORTH CONTINUING OR
IF I SHOULD COMPLETELY MOVE ON
FROM MY INSTAGRAM CRUSH."
>> * YOU ARE MY SOUL
* MY SOUL
*
>> LET'S GET ANTOINETTE.
>> ANTOINETTE.
>> HI.
>> WOW. THAT IS SOME JACKET.
>> IT'S A VEST.
>> OR VEST.
>> YEAH. DON'T MESS WITH HER.
>> YIKES.
WE JUST SAW YOUR EMAIL.
INSTAGRAM CRUSH.
WHAT IS IT ABOUT HIM
THAT DRAWS YOU TO HIM?
>> IT'S LIKE, OBVIOUSLY, WE
LIVE, LIKE, FAR FROM EACH OTHER,
BUT WE BUILT A CONNECTION TO
WHERE WE TRUST EACH OTHER, LIKE,
EVEN THOUGH WE HAVEN'T MET
IN PERSON OR SEEN EACH OTHER.
WE DEFINITELY CARE ABOUT EACH
OTHER, LIKE, WITH ALL OF OUR
HEARTS.
HE'S TOLD ME THINGS
THAT HE'S NEVER TOLD ANYONE.
>> HAS HE EVER BEEN ABLE
TO DEFINITIVELY PROVE TO YOU
THAT HE IS HIM?
>> UM, NO.
I'VE NEVER SEEN HIM ON,
YOU KNOW, LIKE, A CAMERA
OR IN PERSON.
SO NO.
>> DON'T YOU THINK IT'S A LITTLE
WEIRD THAT YOU'VE NEVER
VIDEO CHATTED WITH HIM?
>> YEAH, IT IS.
THAT'S WHY, I MEAN, LIKE,
I HAVE LITTLE DOUBTS.
AND THAT'S OBVIOUSLY
ONE OF THEM.
IT'S BEEN TOO LONG.
I FEEL LIKE IT'S TIME TO,
LIKE, MEET HIM.
>> GET READY FOR AN ADVENTURE.
>> I AM BEYOND READY.
>> SEE YOU IN DALLAS.
>> BYE.
>> BYE.
>> MAN.
>> OOF.
>> OBVIOUSLY,
SOME VERY BIG RED FLAGS HERE.
>> RAPPER.
IT'S NEVER A UKULELE PLAYER.
IT'S ALWAYS A RAPPER.
>> WE'LL FIND OUT MORE AS WE GO.
DALLAS, GUYS.
DAY ONE.
[upbeat pop music]
*
I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU, IT FEELS
GOOD TO BE BACK ON THE ROAD.
>> WE ARE BACK ON THE ROAD.
*
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH.
>> IN HER BRAIN.
>> ALL RIGHT.
SO WE'RE MEETING HER AT WORK?
>> YEAH.
>> IS THIS IT?
[laughs] NO WAY.
THAT'S WHERE SHE WORKS?
REDNECK HEAVEN?
ALL RIGHT, WE'VE ARRIVED.
>> IS IT?
>> THIS IS A NICE PLACE
FOR SATURDAY BRUNCH.
CASUAL.
I SPY ANTOINETTE.
>> HELLO.
>> ANTOINETTE.
>> OH, MY GOD.
>> HEY.
>> OH, MY GOSH.
>> OH, WATCH YOUR HEAD.
>> HERE, WILL YOU PUT SOMETHING
ON, PLEASE?
JESUS.
>> YEAH. I'M COLD.
>> SO THIS IS WHERE YOU WORK?
>> YEP. THIS IS IT.
>> AND YOU ENJOY IT?
>> I GET TO WORK WITH
MY BEST FRIEND.
>> OH, WHO'S YOUR BEST FRIEND?
>> IT'S LAUREN.
I'M GONNA INTRODUCE Y'ALL
TO HER.
>> OH, OKAY. GREAT.
>> LAUREN.
THIS IS LAUREN.
>> HELLO, LAUREN.
>> NICE TO MEET YOU.
>> HELLO.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
>> HOW YOU DOING?
>> GOOD.
>> WELL, WE TRIED ONCE,
WHENEVER WE WENT TO
SPRING BREAK.
>> OH, YEAH? WAIT A SECOND.
WHAT HAPPENED?
>> I WENT THERE FOR SPRING BREAK
LAST YEAR WITH HER
AND HER BOYFRIEND AND A FEW
OTHER PEOPLE.
RIGHT BEFORE THAT,
WE GOT IN AN ARGUMENT.
RANDOMLY, HIS ATTITUDE WAS JUST,
LIKE, CHANGING.
AND I WAS LIKE, "OKAY, WELL,
THIS IS ANNOYING ME."
SO I WAS--
>> SO HE STARTED ACTING LIKE
A JERK RIGHT AROUND THE TIME
YOU WERE GONNA MEET HIM.
I MEAN, ISN'T THAT
KIND OF WEIRD?
>> KIND OF.
BUT HE REACHED OUT TO ME
AFTER THAT, AND I GUESS--
>> GEEZ.
>> IT BOTHERED HIM.
>> SHE'S SO STUBBORN.
>> YEAH.
>> LAUREN, WOULD YOU MIND?
CAN WE BORROW ANTOINETTE
FOR A FEW MINUTES?
>> YEAH, YOU CAN HAVE HER.
>> STEP INTO OUR OFFICE.
WHAT'S FUNNY IS THAT IF WE MET
T-LIGHTS, AND HE SAID,
"HEY, HERE'S THIS GIRL
I'VE BEEN TALKING TO FOR
THE LAST TWO YEARS,"
WE'D BE LIKE, "DUDE,
SHE'S FAKE."
>> NO WAY.
>> THIS GIRL DOES NOT NEED TO
GO ONLINE TO FIND A GUY.
>> IT'S KIND OF HARD TO EXPLAIN,
HONESTLY.
I GREW UP WITH, LIKE,
ALL THE GUYS WHERE I'M FROM.
I KNOW ALL THEM SINCE
I WAS LITTLE.
IT'S JUST LIKE, I, YOU KNOW--
LIKE, NEW PEOPLE AROUND THE
WORLD, LIKE, INTEREST ME MORE.
YOU KNOW?
>> THIS IS OLD NEWS, YEAH.
>> I DON'T REALLY CARE TO TALK
TO ANYONE HERE.
>> WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT T-LIGHTS
AND YOU THINK ABOUT
THE POSSIBILITY OF MEETING HIM,
WHAT'S SORT OF YOUR DREAM
SCENARIO?
>> WELL, I WANT TO MOVE ANYWAY,
AND I WANT TO LIVE BY THE BEACH.
AND HE GREW UP THERE.
SO MAYBE I WOULD, LIKE,
MOVE THERE AND THEN,
POTENTIALLY, LIKE,
LIVE TOGETHER IF WE KEEP
GETTING, LIKE, CLOSER
AND CLOSER ON THAT LEVEL.
>> DO YOU FEEL LIKE
YOU LOVE HIM?
>> WE, LIKE, YOU KNOW--
WE DON'T SAY, LIKE, "I LOVE YOU"
BECAUSE I'M GONNA, LIKE,
GUARD MY HEART.
LIKE, I'M NOT JUST GONNA SAY
THAT WHEN I HAVEN'T MET
THE PERSON.
HE, LIKE, TELLS ME THAT HE
TRUSTS ME, WHICH, LIKE,
MEANS A LOT.
I DON'T TRUST A LOT OF PEOPLE,
SO THAT'S ATTRACTIVE
WHEN GUYS ARE LIKE THAT.
I HAVE A VOICEMAIL,
IF Y'ALL WANT TO HEAR HIS VOICE.
>> YEAH. I'D LIKE TO.
I'LL--WE'LL SWING AROUND
A LITTLE BIT.
>> AT WHAT POINT DID YOU GUYS
EXCHANGE CELL PHONE NUMBERS?
>> HE ASKED ME FOR MY KIK
SO WE DIDN'T HAVE TO
PUT OUR NUMBERS ON INSTAGRAM.
AND THEN HE KIKED ME,
AND WE EXCHANGED NUMBERS THERE.
>> BUT INSTAGRAM'S PUBLIC,
SO SOMEONE COULD HAVE SEEN
THAT THIS GUY SPOKE TO YOU ON
INSTAGRAM, AND THEN IMPERSONATED
HIM ON KIK.
>> THAT'S A STRETCH, BUT SURE.
>> WE'VE SEEN THAT BEFORE.
>> LET'S JUST GO TO HIS
INSTAGRAM.
WOW, OKAY.
CUTE GUY.
HE SAYS, "I SING IN THE
TWENTYS," WHICH IS HIS GROUP.
>> HE HAS ALMOST 30,000
FOLLOWERS.
HE'S INSTA-FAMOUS.
>> THERE YOU GO.
>> UH-OH.
>> NOTHING CRAZY.
HE'S KIND OF LIKE A MORE MANLY
VERSION OF JUSTIN BIEBER.
>> THEY HAVE A BRAND-NEW
MUSIC VIDEO.
>> YEAH.
THAT'S ONE OF THEIR NEWEST ONES.
>> * I SAID, BABY
* WHAT'S GOOD? *
* I KNOW IT'S KIND OF FUN *
>> WHICH ONE IS HE?
>> HE'S ON THE LEFT.
GABI'S ON THE RIGHT.
>> THIS IS, LIKE,
A PRETTY LEGIT VIDEO.
>> YEAH.
>> AND WHAT'S THIS
TECHNO TUESDAY?
>> I THINK IT'S AT, LIKE,
A CLUB THEY DO.
>> WAIT. ON DECEMBER 17TH.
WHAT DAY IS TODAY?
>> THE 15TH, I THINK.
>> HOLY SMOKES.
WE GOT TO GO.
>> I KNOW. I NOTICED THAT.
>> WE SHOULD GO.
>> I KNOW.
HE'S BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT TO ME
ON TEXT MESSAGES.
>> THIS GUY SEEMS TO HAVE
A LOT GOING ON.
>> YEAH.
>> SO WHAT ARE THE THINGS
THAT DON'T ADD UP?
>> IN THE VERY BEGINNING,
I'VE ASKED HIM TO FACETIME,
BUT THAT WAS, LIKE, LITERALLY
THE FIRST, LIKE, WEEK OR TWO
THAT WE STARTED, LIKE, TEXTING.
HE SAID HE WAS, LIKE, DOING
SOMETHING IN THE STUDIO,
WHICH IS USUALLY WHAT HE SAYS.
"I'M IN THE STUDIO."
THAT'S ALWAYS HIS BIGGEST
EXCUSE FOR DIFFERENT THINGS.
IT STILL STRESSES ME OUT,
LIKE, ALL THE TIME.
OH, THIS IS ANOTHER THING
THAT WAS KIND OF WEIRD TO ME
THAT WAS BOTHERING ME ALSO.
HE'LL BE LURKING ON ME ON
INSTAGRAM, AND HE'LL RANDOMLY
TAKE A SCREENSHOT AND SEND IT
TO ME.
AND HE'LL BE LIKE, "YOU'LL BE,
LIKE, SO PERFECT, BAE."
OR SOMETHING.
LIKE, HE'LL SEND THAT
AT RANDOM TIMES.
>> THAT IS WEIRD,
TO TAKE SCREEN GRABS
AND SEND THEM BACK.
SOMETHING'S NOT ADDING UP.
>> THERE IS POSITIVE THINGS THAT
MAKE ME BELIEVE HE IS WHO HE IS,
BUT THERE'S STUFF THAT'S, LIKE,
SKETCHY THAT BOTHERS ME AND THAT
I THINK ABOUT ALL THE TIME.
SO THERE'S OBVIOUSLY DOUBTS.
>> IS WHAT YOU WANT TO HAVE US
HELP YOU GO AND MEET HIM?
OR IS WHAT YOU WANT JUST TO--
>> YES.
BECAUSE I WOULD, LIKE,
NEVER GO BY MYSELF TO DO IT.
I FEEL LIKE THIS IS THE BIGGEST
SUPPORT SYSTEM THAT YOU COULD
HAVE.
AND, LIKE, I CANNOT DO SOMETHING
LIKE THAT BY MYSELF.
EVEN IF I WANTED TO, I WOULDN'T
'CAUSE I'M JUST SMART ENOUGH
TO KNOW THAT THAT'S RIDICULOUS
AND TOO DANGEROUS.
>> ARE YOU READY TO DEAL WITH
WHAT COULD BE SOME BAD NEWS?
>> I'M PREPARED TO GET ANSWERS.
>> WELL, THEN WE'VE GOT A LOT
OF WORK TO DO.
INVESTIGATION TIME.
WE'RE GONNA GO.
>> OKAY.
WE'RE GONNA GET STRAIGHT TO
WORK.
HOPEFULLY, WE'LL FIGURE THIS
OUT, AND WE'LL GET YOU ANSWERS.
ALL RIGHT.
>> THANK YOU.
>> BYE.
>> BYE.
>> ALL RIGHT, NEV.
THAT'S KIND OF A NEW ONE.
>> THIS IS INTERESTING.
>> YEAH.
>> SHE'S SKEPTICAL.
LIKE, SHE'S PROTECTING HERSELF,
AND SHE'S LOOKING FOR--
>> SHE'S PRETTY, LIKE, ON IT.
>> TOTALLY.
>> I MEAN, SHE'S OBSERVANT.
SHE'S LOOKING FOR THINGS
THAT LOOK WEIRD.
>> YEAH.
THE BIG SORT OF WEIRD THING,
THOUGH, IS IF I WAS THAT GUY,
AND I HAD THIS VERY BEAUTIFUL
GIRL WHO I HAD BEEN TALKING TO
FOR YEARS INTERESTED IN ME...
>> YEAH.
>> I WOULD WANT TO SEE HER.
SO WHAT IS HE HIDING?
>> MAX, CLOSE YOUR EYES.
DO YOU TRUST ME?
>> YES.
>> SO IF I SAY, BEND YOUR KNEES
AND SIT BACK, DO YOU TRUST THAT
THERE'S A CHAIR THERE FOR YOU?
>> YEAH.
>> ALL RIGHT, SIT DOWN.
NO, YOU CAN'T DO THAT.
YOU CAN'T FEEL.
THAT'S THE TRUST.
DO IT, BUDDY.
YEAH!
>> I GUESS I CAN TRUST YOU.
>> SO BASICALLY WHAT WE'VE GOT
IS A GIRL WHO REALLY LIKES
THIS GUY T-LIGHTS.
BUT SHE'S BEING CAREFUL BECAUSE
SHE KNOWS SHE'S NEVER MET HIM.
SHE HAS NO HARD EVIDENCE THAT
HE IS EXACTLY WHO HE SAYS HE IS
ON HIS INSTAGRAM AND ON YOUTUBE,
AND ON ALL THESE DIFFERENT
PLATFORMS.
HE SEEMS VERY ABLE TO POST
AND SHARE VIDEO CONTENT.
AND YET, HE'S NEVER ONCE
SENT A LITTLE THREE-SECOND VIDEO
OR 10-SECOND VIDEO
OF HIM PLAYING THE GUITAR.
>> WHY DOESN'T HE POST ANYTHING
THAT'S DIRECTED AT HER?
>> SOMETHING'S GOING ON.
>> SO WHERE DO WE EVEN START?
>> HERE'S HIS TWITTER.
HIS REAL NAME IS ALBERT AMBROSE.
>> HE'S GOT HIS SOUNDCLOUD
LISTED.
>> 8,700 FOLLOWERS.
>> THAT'S AN INTERESTING
PICTURE.
>> AND THEN HE'S GOT
AN INSTAGRAM.
>> THIS IS THE INSTAGRAM PAGE
FOR THE BAND, THE TWENTYS.
>> AND THEY HAVE A LOT
OF FOLLOWERS.
>> SO ALL OF THESE ACCOUNTS
REFERENCE EACH OTHER.
HE'S PRACTICING.
>> * SAY THE [bleep]
* THAT YOU SAID
WHAT?
>> HIS SAYING "WHAT" SOUNDED
A LOT LIKE ANTOINETTE'S
VOICEMAIL.
GO TO THEIR SOUNDCLOUD.
BOCA RATON, FLORIDA.
AND THAT'S HIM IN THE FRONT.
>> WHAT SEEMED TO BE A BIG RED
FLAG--OH, HE'S A RAP ARTIST
MUSICIAN--IT'S VERY
REALISTICALLY SORT OF
SMALL AND MODEST,
AND THEY'RE DOING LOCAL GIGS.
>> BUT WE NEED TO KNOW THAT THIS
GUY FROM THIS GROUP IS ACTUALLY
THE GUY THAT'S TALKING TO HER.
HOW DO WE PROVE THAT?
>> THE ONLY THING THAT WE HAVE
FOR HIM IS A PHONE NUMBER.
>> WE KNOW THAT SHE'S BEEN
TALKING TO HIM ON THE PHONE,
SO WE KNOW THAT THAT NUMBER
BELONGS TO WHOEVER SHE'S BEEN
TALKING TO.
LET'S RUN IT.
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO GET?
[sighs]
WHOA.
WHO'S THAT?
CARMEN ESSAYE,
55 TO 59 YEARS OLD.
THAT'S AN INTERESTING TWIST.
>> WHITE PAGES,
THERE'S ASSOCIATED PEOPLE,
WHICH OFTEN MEANS RELATIVES.
AND THERE'S SOMEONE NAMED
JOSEPH.
LET'S LOOK UP THIS GUY,
JOSEPH ESSAYE.
ALL RIGHT.
HERE IS JOSEPH'S PAGE.
HE LIVES IN BOCA RATON.
HE'S MARRIED.
>> HOLD ON.
[gasps]
DO YOU SEE THAT?
IT SAYS, "MY BRO'S
LATEST MUSIC VIDEO."
>> HERE'S HIS FAMILY.
ALBERT, CARMEN.
CARMEN ESSAYE.
PROBABLY HIS MOM.
>> PROBABLY HIS MOM.
>> THERE HE IS WITH HIS BROTHER.
>> THAT'S HIM AND HIS BROTHER.
>> MORE EVIDENCE THAT
HE'S TELLING THE TRUTH.
>> YEAH.
WE LOOKED UP THE PHONE NUMBER.
IT IS REGISTERED TO THEIR MOM.
CARMEN IS THE MOTHER
OF BOTH JOSEPH AND ALBERT.
THIS GIRL IS GONNA LUCK OUT.
THERE'S HIS PHONE NUMBER.
>> IF WE GET THIS GUY
ON THE PHONE AND HE SAYS--
>> EASY.
>> YEAH. WE'RE--
>> WE'RE IN.
[line ringing]
>> SOUNDS LIKE HIM.
>> A LOT LIKE HIM.
>> JOSEPH'S VOICE SOUNDS A LOT
LIKE HIS LITTLE BROTHER'S.
>> THAT'S INTERESTING.
>> LET'S GO TO THE TWENTYS' PAGE
HERE AND SEE WHO WE CAN CONTACT.
HERE'S THEIR MANAGER,
AND HIS NAME IS LUKE.
>> LET'S CALL LUKE.
LET'S JUST ASK HIM WHOSE PHONE
NUMBER THAT NUMBER SHE'S BEEN
TALKING TO IS.
[line ringing]
>> YES. HELLO, LUKE.
HOW YOU DOING?
GOOD.
THIS IS NEV SCHULMAN
FROM THE MTV SHOW CATFISH.
STRANGE AS THIS MAY SEEM,
I THINK YOU CAN HELP US
ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS
WE MAY HAVE.
WE'RE IN TEXAS RIGHT NOW
WITH A YOUNG LADY WHO HAS,
FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS,
BEEN TALKING TO
YOUR FRIEND ALBERT.
WE HAVE A PHONE NUMBER
FOR ALBERT.
WHAT WOULD BE GREAT IS IF YOU
COULD JUST TELL US IF IT IS
HIS CELL PHONE NUMBER.
RIGHT, SO--
NO, TOTALLY.
SO ALL I'M ASKING IS IF I GIVE
YOU THE NUMBER THAT WE HAVE,
IF YOU COULD JUST SAY YES OR NO,
THAT'S HIS NUMBER.
THE NUMBER WE HAVE IS 561-
[bleep].
THAT IS NOT HIS NUMBER.
OKAY.
YOU DON'T HAPPEN TO KNOW WHOSE
PHONE NUMBER THAT IS, DO YOU?
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD HIM TALK
ABOUT A GIRL NAMED ANTOINETTE?
>> DOES HE HAVE ANYONE HELPING
HIM SORT THROUGH ALL THAT SOCIAL
MEDIA, MAIL, AND WHATNOT?
>> AND HIS OLDER BROTHER
JOSEPH IS--HE'S THE MARRIED
BROTHER, RIGHT?
AND THEY HAVE PRETTY SIMILAR
SOUNDING VOICES.
I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP.
ALL RIGHT. LATER.
>> BROTHERS' VOICES ARE SO
SIMILAR THAT HE CAN'T TELL
THE DIFFERENCE.
>> EVEN A CLOSE FRIEND CAN'T
TELL THE DIFFERENCE.
AND THAT'S NOT
HIS CELL PHONE NUMBER.
OKAY, WAIT A SECOND.
ONE WEIRD THING THAT NOW
KIND OF MAKES SENSE
IS REMEMBER WHEN ANTOINETTE
SAID, "HE JUST SCREEN GRABS
MY POSTS AND TEXTS THEM TO ME."
SHE SHOWED US ONE.
IT WAS A SCREEN GRAB OF
THE INSTAGRAM POST WITH SOME
COMMENTS, AND THEN HIS TEXT
UNDERNEATH.
HE'S NOT ACTUALLY USING
THE ALBERT AMBROSE INSTAGRAM.
>> PRETTY WEIRD, YEAH.
>> YEAH, THAT'S WEIRD,
WHICH WOULD MAKE SENSE
IF IT WASN'T REALLY ALBERT.
>> RIGHT.
>> IT'S NOT IMPOSSIBLE
THAT TWO YEARS AGO,
ALBERT WAS SHOWING HIS BROTHER
THIS SUPER-HOT GIRL,
AND THAT HE WAS LIKE, "WOW.
SHE IS REALLY HOT."
AND THEN HE NOTICED
THAT SHE HAD POSTED HER HANDLE.
HE WAS LIKE, "OH, I WANT TO TALK
TO THIS GIRL."
AND HE HIT HER UP.
IF IT IS THE BROTHER,
WE'RE ENTERING INTO A SORT OF
VERY STICKY SITUATION.
BECAUSE AS FAR AS WE CAN TELL,
HE IS CURRENTLY MARRIED.
>> SO HIS WHOLE LIFE COULD
ESSENTIALLY BE RUINED
IF WE GO TO FLORIDA TO MEET HIM.
>> HOW DO WE DEAL WITH THAT?
ALBERT'S A REAL DUDE.
HE'S IN THIS BAND.
PICTURES ARE HIM.
HE'S LEGIT.
WE JUST DON'T KNOW
WHO'S HOLDING THAT PHONE.
>> HOLY [bleep].
>> WHY WOULD SHE POST THAT?
>> I FEEL LIKE WE GLOSSED OVER
THE IMAGE THAT SHE'S PUTTING
FORTH ON INSTAGRAM.
>> I HAVE MORE QUESTIONS
FOR ANTOINETTE NOW.
AND WE HAVE SOME INFORMATION
WE CAN GIVE HER.
[line ringing]
HEY, GOOD MORNING, ANTOINETTE.
WE SPENT A LONG TIME YESTERDAY
SORT OF DOING SOME RESEARCH.
WE'VE GOT SOME LEADS,
SO WE WANT TO KNOW
IF WE CAN COME AND MEET YOU
AND GO OVER ALL THIS.
[doorbell rings]
HEY.
>> HI.
>> HEY.
>> HOW ARE YOU?
>> GOOD.
I'M GONNA INTRODUCE Y'ALL
TO MY DAD.
>> HEY.
>> GOOD TO MEET YOU.
>> MORNING, SIR. HOW ARE YOU?
SO OBVIOUSLY, WE DON'T HAVE TO
TELL YOU THAT YOUR DAUGHTER'S IN
A RELATIONSHIP.
WHAT IS YOUR IMPRESSION
OF THIS YOUNG MAN?
>> I KNOW NOTHING, BUT THE
ISSUES I'VE HAD WITH HER SOCIAL
MEDIA BEHAVIOR AND THEN,
YOU KNOW, TELLING ME THAT SHE'S
TALKED TO SOMEONE ONLINE WHO
SHE'S NEVER MET AND HAS A DESIRE
TO MAYBE GO DOWN THERE AND MEET,
THAT'S NOT AT ALL
WHAT I WANT TO HEAR.
WE'VE HAD SEVERAL DISCUSSIONS
ABOUT SOCIAL MEDIA.
I TELL ANTOINETTE ALL THE TIME
PERCEPTION IS EVERYTHING.
AS SHE PROGRESSES IN LIFE
AND WANTS TO GO OFF TO COLLEGE
OR EVENTUALLY HAVE A CAREER,
SOMETIMES THOSE THINGS
CAN COME BACK AND HAUNT YOU.
>> I'VE HONESTLY, LIKE,
CLEANED THEM BOTH OUT.
ALL MY SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS.
>> SO WE'RE SEEING THE CLEAN
VERSION?
>> YEAH.
>> I'M GONNA GET REALLY
SPECIFIC, THEN.
>> OKAY.
>> WHY IS THERE A VIDEO OF YOU
SHAKING YOUR ASS CHEEKS--
>> DANCING? YEAH.
>> RIGHT IN FRONT OF A CAMERA.
LIKE, WHAT IS THAT?
>> I THOUGHT THAT WAS DELETED.
>> I KNOW SOME PEOPLE ARE
PROBABLY LIKE, "THAT'S REALLY
STUPID."
BUT ME AND MY BEST FRIEND--
LIKE MY VERY FEW, CLOSE FRIENDS,
WE WERE JUST LIKE, I DON'T KNOW.
I JUST STARTED DANCING.
DOING WHAT WE WANT.
LIKE, THERE'S NOT MUCH TO DO
AROUND HERE.
WE JUST DO IT FOR FUN.
I'M STILL THE NICE, LIKE,
CARING PERSON THAT I AM.
THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HOW
I DRESS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
>> THE CONCERN THAT I WOULD HAVE
IS THAT, YOU KNOW,
A YEAR OR TWO FROM NOW
YOU MIGHT GO FOR A JOB
APPLICATION SOMEWHERE,
AND THEY MIGHT SEARCH YOUR NAME.
AND THE FIRST TEN THINGS THAT
COME UP MIGHT BE THINGS THAT
YOU MIGHT NOT WANT THEM TO SEE.
>> YEAH.
DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU'RE TRYING
TO GET AS YOUR JOB.
>> RIGHT. EXACTLY.
>> YEAH, THAT'S AN OBVIOUS.
>> MY CONCERN WITH THIS
SITUATION IS, AGAIN,
HIS PERCEPTION MAY BE SOMETHING
DIFFERENT THAN WHAT SHE REALLY
IS.
AND I CERTAINLY DON'T WANT HER
TO FEEL LIKE SHE HAS TO LIVE UP
TO THAT WHEN SHE DOES MEET HIM.
>> YOU GOT A GOOD DAD.
>> I KNOW.
>> IF YOU GUYS END UP
TAKING A TRIP,
I'D APPRECIATE YOU TAKING CARE
OF HER AND WATCHING OVER HER.
AND I KNOW YOU HAVE
HER BEST INTERESTS AT HEART.
>> WE WILL.
>> THANK YOU GUYS.
>> SURE, MAN.
>> ALL RIGHT.
NOW WE'RE GOING TO TELL
ANTOINETTE THE RESULTS
OF OUR INVESTIGATION.
ALL RIGHT, PANDORA'S BOX.
>> MAX AND I FEEL KIND OF
VERY STRONGLY NOW
ABOUT TWO SCENARIOS.
THE FIRST THEORY IS THAT
T-LIGHTS IS EXACTLY
WHO HE SAYS HE IS.
>> YEAH.
>> THEN, THOUGH, WE FIGURED,
IF WE'RE GONNA DO OUR JOB WELL,
WE SHOULD ALSO TAKE THE PHONE
NUMBER, WHICH YOU HAD GIVEN US,
AND THESE ARE JUST THE FIRST TWO
THINGS THAT COME UP WHEN YOU DO
A SEARCH FOR THAT NAME.
THIS ONE SORT OF CAUGHT OUR EYE.
>> JOSEPH ESSAYE.
>> MM-HMM.
>> AND WE FOUND A FACEBOOK PAGE.
YOU'VE NEVER SEEN THIS GUY
BEFORE.
>> NO.
>> WE WENT TO THE ABOUT
FOR JOSEPH.
SURE ENOUGH, HE LIVES IN
BOCA RATON.
AND UNDER FAMILY,
ALBERT WILLIAM, BROTHER.
WHEN YOU GO THROUGH THEIR
PHOTOS, YOU SEE A PICTURE
OF ALBERT WITH HIS BROTHER,
AND HIS BROTHER'S WIFE.
SO THE NEXT THING WE DID WAS
WE REACHED OUT TO THE MANAGER
OF THE TWENTYS.
HIS NAME IS LUKE,
AND WE SPOKE TO HIM.
>> UH-HUH.
>> WE ASKED HIM--
>> IF HE HAD EVER HEARD
OF ANTOINETTE.
HE SAID NO.
>> WE READ HIM ALBERT'S NUMBER,
AND IMMEDIATELY HE SAID, "NO.
THAT'S NOT ALBERT'S NUMBER."
IF IT'S NOT ALBERT YOU'VE BEEN
TALKING TO, THEN WHO COULD IT
BE?
>> I WOULD HAVE NO IDEA.
DO Y'ALL?
[giggles]
>> WELL, WE HAVE SOME IDEA.
SO YOU MET ALBERT, AKA T-LIGHTS
ON INSTAGRAM,
AND HE MESSAGED YOU.
YOU THEN MESSAGED BACK.
AND EVENTUALLY GAVE HIM
YOUR HANDLE.
IT'S POSSIBLE THAT BECAUSE
THAT WAS PUBLIC,
THAT SOMEBODY WHO CLOSELY
FOLLOWS ALBERT'S INSTAGRAM...
>> YEAH.
>> COULD HAVE SEEN THAT,
AND THEN REACHED OUT TO YOU,
KNOWING THAT YOU'D BE EXPECTING
A MESSAGE FROM T-LIGHTS,
FROM ALBERT,
AND PRETENDING TO BE HIM.
>> MM-HMM.
>> IF THAT WERE THE CASE,
IT WOULD HAVE TO BE SOMEBODY
CLOSE TO ALBERT,
HAVING THIS RELATIONSHIP
WITH YOU SORT OF BEHIND
ALBERT'S BACK.
>> THAT'S CREEPY.
>> THE STRANGE THING
IS THAT LUKE, THE MANAGER,
SAYS THAT JOSEPH, THE BROTHER,
HELPS OUT WITH, LIKE,
ALL THE SOCIAL MEDIA STUFF.
>> AND THAT HIS BROTHER AND HE
SOUND SO SIMILAR THAT SOMETIMES
EVEN LUKE, THE MANAGER,
CONFUSES THEM ON THE PHONE.
>> WELL, I COULDN'T IMAGINE THAT
VOICE COMING OUT OF THAT GUY.
>> WHAT COULD BE THE CASE
IS THAT AT SOME POINT,
HIS BROTHER JOSEPH
SORT OF SNUCK IN,
GOT YOUR HANDLE,
AND THAT'S WHO YOU'VE BEEN
TALKING AND TEXTING WITH
THIS WHOLE TIME.
>> EW.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.
LIKE, HONESTLY I--THAT'S JUST,
LIKE, GROSS.
>> * WE ARE SHOUTING
* WE ARE WHISPERING
>> IF IT IS HIS BROTHER, LIKE,
WHAT IF HIS WIFE FINDS OUT
AND I HAVE--I HAD NO IDEA.
YOU KNOW?
>> YEAH.
>> LIKE, THAT'S JUST MESSED UP
IN EVERY WAY.
>> I MEAN, THE ONLY THING
WE HAVEN'T DONE YET IS CALLED
ALBERT WITH THE NUMBER THAT YOU
HAVE.
>> YEAH.
>> WE COULD DO IT RIGHT NOW.
>> THE OTHER OPTION
IS THAT WE DON'T SAY ANYTHING.
WE GET ON A PLANE TOMORROW.
WE FLY TO FLORIDA.
AND WE SHOW UP AT THE TWENTYS
SHOW ON TUESDAY,
AND WE SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
BECAUSE IF WE GIVE THEM
A HEADS-UP NOW,
WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY COULD DO.
JOSEPH COULD TALK TO HIS BROTHER
AND SAY, "ALBERT,
I'VE BEEN SCREWING UP.
I NEED YOU TO COVER FOR ME."
>> IF IT IS THE BROTHER,
I--LIKE, I--THAT'S WHERE
THE LINE IS DRAWN, THOUGH.
>> YOU'LL HAVE A CHOICE.
>> YOU'RE THE BOSS.
>> YEAH. TOTALLY.
IT'S YOUR CALL.
WHOEVER IT IS, THEY'RE GONNA BE
AT THAT CLUB ON TUESDAY NIGHT.
>> YEAH.
>> SO WE NEED TO BE THERE, TOO.
>> * OH, OH, OH
* NO ONE GAVE US A MARK
[electronic pop music]
*
>> IS IT THIS ONE?
>> YEP.
>> BING BONG.
>> WHOA.
>> OH, MY GOD.
YOU GOT A LOT OF STUFF.
>> IT'S NOT A LOT.
>> WHAT IS IN HERE?
>> YOU BARELY WEAR ANY CLOTHES.
SO, LIKE, WHAT COULD POSSIBLY
TAKE UP SO MUCH SPACE?
>> THIS THING IS RIDICULOUSLY
HEAVY.
*
YESTERDAY, WHEN WE DISCUSSED
THE IDEA OF GOING DOWN
AND SURPRISING ALBERT,
YOU WERE VERY NERVOUS.
>> I MEAN, IT IS EXTREME.
YOU KNOW, LIKE, IT'S GOING TO
MEET SOMEONE, LIKE, OUT OF STATE
THAT YOU'VE ALWAYS, LIKE,
TALKED ON THE PHONE WITH.
SO OBVIOUSLY IT'S EXCITING
AND NERVE-WRACKING.
>> HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT
WHAT YOU WOULD SAY OR--
>> LIKE, IF IT'S HIM?
>> YEAH.
>> I MEAN, YEAH.
I'LL BE ALL EXCITED.
BUT IF IT'S HIS BROTHER,
THEN I WON'T CARE
TO SAY ANYTHING.
I MIGHT BE LIKE, "OKAY.
YOU SHOULD GO TELL YOUR WIFE
THIS AND BYE."
[electronic pop music]
>> * I THINK I'LL SPLASH *
* FROM COLOR TO COLD
* YOUR BLOOD'S RUNNING DRY *
* AND I'M HAUNTED *
* OH, OH, OH
>> GOING TO FT. LAUDERDALE.
>> I SAID I'M AT THE AIRPORT
NOW.
*
>> * I THINK I'LL SPLASH *
* FROM COLOR TO COLD
* YOUR BLOOD'S RUNNING DRY *
* AND I'M HAUNTED *
* NO LONGER AROUND
* NO LONGER TO ME
* NO LONGER DRIPPING OUT
* OR FALLING
>> WE'RE GOING TO THE CLUB
TONIGHT.
LET'S PICK UP OUR PRINCESS.
SHE'S GOT TO BE PRETTY NERVOUS.
>> SHE WON'T ADMIT
THAT SHE'S NERVOUS, THOUGH.
[knocking]
>> WHOA.
>> WHOA.
>> IF YOU'RE GOOD,
I THINK WE SHOULD DO IT.
>> OKAY.
SO WHAT'S THE PLAN RIGHT NOW?
SO I CAN STOP FREAKING OUT
SO MUCH.
>> THE PLAN IS THAT WE ARE
HEADING TO THE CONCERT.
>> WE'RE GONNA GO IN.
WE'RE GONNA KIND OF HANG IN
THE BACK, INCONSPICUOUS.
>> HE'S GONNA SEE US.
>> NO, NO, NO.
BECAUSE THEY'RE, LIKE,
BACKSTAGE.
>> WE'RE GONNA GET A DRINK.
>> CHILL OUT.
>> WATCH THE SHOW.
IT'S GONNA END,
AND THEN WE'LL GO FIND HIM
AND TALK TO HIM.
>> HE JUST POSTED A PICTURE
NINE MINUTES AGO.
>> OH, WHAT DID HE SAY?
>> IT SAYS "DRESSING ROOM,
GETTING READY."
>> WHAT'S IT LIKE KNOWING THAT
HE'S GETTING READY RIGHT NOW,
BACKSTAGE?
>> OH, THAT MAKES ME MORE
ANXIOUS.
>> OKAY, SO THIS IS THE BAR.
>> LOOK AT THIS.
LOOK AT ALL THE PEOPLE LINED UP
TO GET IN.
>> WOW, IT'S PACKED.
>> BUSY.
>> OH, MY GOD.
>> OH, MAN.
THIS PLACE IS POPULAR.
>> HE'S LIKE A BIG DEAL.
>> I'M, LIKE, TRIPLE NERVOUS.
>> * I TRIPPED
* AND FELL IN LOVE WITH YOU
>> HOLY [bleep].
>> WHAT IS GOING ON?
>> * HONEST, YOU DO
* WHAT I AIM TO
>> THIS CAN'T ALL BE
FOR THIS CONCERT.
>> THIS IS A BIG DEAL.
>> OH, MY GOSH.
THIS IS MORE STRESSFUL.
>> WE ARE HERE.
WOW.
>> OH, MY GOSH.
>> HERE WE GO.
>> OH, MY GOD.
>> HEY, WHAT'S UP, MAN?
>> HOW YOU DOING, GUYS?
>> LET'S SIT OVER HERE.
PUT HER IN THE MIDDLE.
>> YEAH.
[cheering]
>> HOW'S EVERYONE TONIGHT?
LET ME HEAR SOME NOISE.
THAT'S NOT LOUD ENOUGH.
GET LOUD. GET LOUD.
SANDAL, DROP IT.
LET'S GIVE IT UP
FOR THE TWENTYS,
STRAIGHT OUT OF BOCA RATON,
FLORIDA.
ABOUT TO BE WORLDWIDE.
>> * DUBSTEP BLASTING
* SO OBSESSED WITH FASHION
* THAT SHE MIGHT JUST
* [bleep] YOU OVER
* BUT SHE'LL SAY *
* IT DIDN'T HAPPEN *
* I FEEL YOU, OH, I FEEL YOU
[electronic dance music playing]
*
>> THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
[cheering]
>> JUST STAY OUT.
>> I THINK IT'S THIS WAY, DUDE.
>> THEY'RE PROBABLY, LIKE,
BACK HERE SOMEWHERE.
THERE'S A PARKING LOT OR A--
>> THAT'S THEM, PROBABLY,
RIGHT THERE, NEV.
>> I'M FREAKING OUT.
REMEMBER, REMEMBER.
LIKE, WE DON'T KNOW
IF IT'S HIM OR HIS BROTHER.
LIKE, YOU HAVE TO ASK FIRST.
>> STAY WITH ME.
>> OKAY. SO YOU GO.
YOU'RE THE--
>> OKAY. SO YOU HANG HERE.
>> I'LL HANG.
>> AND I'LL GO TALK TO HIM.
>> ALL RIGHT. SO JUST GO.
>> OH, MY GOSH.
>> COME ON. COME HERE.
>> OH, MY GOSH.
>> JUST COME HERE.
WE'RE JUST STANDING HERE.
YOU CAN LOOK THROUGH THE SHRUBS.
>> WHAT IS HE DOING?
I DON'T KNOW.
WHAT IS HE SAYING?
>> I CAN'T HEAR.
>> IS THAT HIS BROTHER?
OH, MY GOSH.
THAT'S HIS BROTHER NEXT TO HIM.
>> IS IT?
>> IN THE MIDDLE OF THEM.
>> YEAH. YEAH.
THAT COULD BE THE BROTHER.
>> THIS IS WAY TOO MUCH,
RIGHT NOW.
IT'S MAKING ME FEEL, LIKE,
MORE ANXIOUS.
>> LET'S JUST WALK OVER THERE.
>> NO.
>> YEAH. COME ON.
>> NO.
WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG?
WHAT COULD THEY POSSIBLY
BE SAYING?
IT'S A SIMPLE QUESTION.
"DO YOU TEXT HER?"
OH, MY GOSH.
>> THIS IS WAY TOO MUCH,
RIGHT NOW.
>> SO NOW HE'S TALKING
WITH THE BROTHER.
WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE
THEY'RE SAYING RIGHT NOW?
>> I DON'T KNOW.
>> WHAT'S HAPPENING?
>> OKAY.
SO HE HAD NO IDEA
THAT WE WERE HERE.
NONE OF THEM DID.
>> WHAT'S THE STORY?
>> "WELL, I'M GUESSING
IT'S BECAUSE OF ANTOINETTE."
AND I WAS LIKE, "SO THAT'S YOU,
RIGHT?
LIKE, THAT'S THE ONE.
YOU'VE BEEN TALKING TO HER."
AND HE'S LIKE, "YEAH."
LET'S JUST WALK OVER THERE.
COME ON.
>> OKAY, BUT WHY IS IT--LIKE,
OH, MY GOSH.
OH, MY GOSH.
>> SO, I DON'T THINK I NEED TO
INTRODUCE HER.
>> OF COURSE.
>> THIS IS ANTOINETTE.
>> HI.
>> HEY, I'M MAX, BY THE WAY.
>> HOW ARE YOU? OKAY?
CHILLING?
>> YEP. Y'ALL DID SO GOOD.
>> YOU SAW IT?
>> YEAH.
>> WHAT?
>> I WAS IN THE VERY BACK.
>> I WISH I SAW YOU.
>> YOU GUYS KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT THIS?
>> OH, YEAH.
HE'S TOLD ME TONS ABOUT HER.
IT'S ALMOST LIKE JUST HAVING
A FRIENDSHIP, BUT THEY'RE
ATTRACTED TO EACH OTHER,
SO IT'S ALL GOOD.
>> WAIT A SECOND.
SO I WANT TO TALK TO YOU BECAUSE
YOU KNOW THAT, LIKE,
THIS WHOLE TIME WE HAD THIS,
LIKE, SHRED OF DOUBT OR, LIKE,
KIND OF CONCERN THAT MAYBE
SHE WAS TALKING TO YOU.
>> SHE'S A BEAUTIFUL GIRL.
>> NO, BUT WE'RE ALWAYS TRYING
TO CONSIDER EVERY OPTION.
>> SO WHEN YOU SAW US ONSTAGE,
WERE YOU LIKE, "THAT'S LEGIT"?
>> YEAH, IT'S SO LEGIT.
I WAS LIKE, "HE LOOKS THE SAME.
LIKE, HE SOUNDS THE SAME."
LIKE, IT'S EVERYTHING--
>> YEAH.
YOU LOOK THE EXACT SAME.
>> REALLY?
>> YEAH.
>> I LOOK THE EXACT SAME?
>> I STILL CAN'T GET OVER, LIKE,
TURNING TO MY RIGHT AND BEING
LIKE, "DAMN."
YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE, "T!"
I WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE,
"OH, [bleep]."
>> NO.
I DIDN'T WANT TO JUST SHOCK--
>> I WOULD HAVE PROBABLY
STOPPED THE PERFORMANCE
AND BEEN LIKE,
"OKAY, SO SHE'S REAL,
BY THE WAY."
>> RIGHT. NO, RIGHT.
>> NEV CALLED YOUR MANAGER
AND HE TOLD HIM THAT, LIKE--
HE GAVE HIM YOUR NUMBER,
AND HE WAS LIKE,
"SO IS THIS HIS NUMBER?"
AND YOUR MANAGER WAS LIKE, "NO."
>> OH, YEAH, HE TOLD ME.
HE WAS LIKE, "DUDE, I JUST KEPT
TELLING HIM, LIKE, NO."
BECAUSE I WAS LIKE, "DUDE.
I DON'T WANT MY NUMBER TO
ANYONE."
LIKE, I'M PRIVATE ABOUT IT,
YOU KNOW.
>> I HAD TO HAVE THAT AS LIKE
A SMALL, TINY DOUBT.
BUT, LIKE, I JUST KNEW.
>> WE TALK A CERTAIN WAY.
AND, LIKE, NO ONE--I MEAN,
THE EMOJIS, LIKE, WE USE--
>> I FEEL LIKE I--I DON'T KNOW.
I FEEL LIKE I TYPE THE SAME.
LIKE, I DRAG OUT MY WORDS
FOR NO REASON.
>> SO--LIKE 30 LETTERS.
YOU MADE ME DO IT.
THAT'S SO FUNNY.
>> THEY HAVE, LIKE, A WHOLE
SCENE OF ME AND MY DAD.
AND IT'S ME AND MY DAD--
>> HOW IS HE?
IS YOUR DAD CHILL?
>> HE'S, LIKE, TATTED UP.
HE'S FULL-BLOODED ITALIAN.
SO IT'S ME AND MY DAD, AND,
LIKE, THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT,
LIKE, MY SOCIAL NETWORKS, AND,
LIKE, HOW I POST THOSE KIND
OF PICTURES.
AND LIKE, THEY'RE, LIKE--
>> HOW, LIKE, INTENSE THEY
ACTUALLY ARE.
>> LIKE, YOU KNOW HOW MY TWITTER
WAS, LIKE, REALLY CRAZY?
>> YOU KNOW WHAT'S THE THING,
IT'S LIKE, I'M NOT EVEN TRYING
TO BE, LIKE, CUTE ABOUT IT.
BUT, LIKE, YOU'RE GORGEOUS,
SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE, LIKE,
A RATCHET GIRL WHO'S GONNA POST,
LIKE, ALL THAT STUFF.
>> AND I'M NOT--YEAH.
I'M JUST, LIKE--
>> BUT YOU CAN PUT UP A PICTURE
OF YOU IN A DRESS EVERY DAY
AND STILL GET,
"YO, YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL."
>> I GUESS.
>> YOU KNOW,
IT WASN'T EASY TO GET HER
TO COME HERE.
LIKE, SHOWING UP AT YOUR SHOW
WAS A BIG DEAL FOR HER.
>> IT'S A BIG STEP.
>> THAT'S A HUGE MOVE.
>> THAT'S A HUGE FIRST MOVE.
>> THAT'S TRUE.
>> SO, LOOK.
WE'VE GOT SOME TIME.
YOU GUYS ARE GONNA BE
RECORDING TOMORROW.
>> YEAH, WE HAVE A STUDIO
SESSION TOMORROW.
>> WE CAN HANG OUT.
YOU GUYS CAN TALK.
>> THAT WOULD BE FUN.
>> ALL RIGHT.
>> READY?
>> NICE MEETING YOU ALL.
>> BYE.
>> BYE.
>> WE'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW.
>> OKAY.
>> I THINK THAT WENT
PRETTY WELL.
>> I FEEL LIKE
HE'S REALLY GREAT.
HE'S SO SWEET.
>> LIKE, OUR CONNECTION
OVER THE PHONE IS, LIKE, IN
THIS--IT JUST, LIKE, NATURALLY
HAPPENED IN PERSON, TOO.
>> ARE YOU RELIEVED?
>> I AM VERY RELIEVED.
I'M LIKE--I FEEL SO, LIKE,
CLEARED OUT, NOW.
