- 0:16Speaker 1: it's time for your phone tap and today I call
- 0:18Speaker 1: a woman who just bought a new smart refrigerator about
- 0:21Speaker 1: a month ago. Okay, okay, and her husband has been
- 0:24Speaker 1: teasing her because apparently she doesn't understand all the new
- 0:28Speaker 1: technology and how it works, so he thought there might
- 0:32Speaker 1: be an opportunity there to make her fridge even more
- 0:35Speaker 1: advanced than she ever realized. In fact, her fridge has
- 0:40Speaker 1: a first name, what it has feelings, and is desperately
- 0:45Speaker 1: trying to get her attention. You're gonna find out how
- 0:49Speaker 1: in your brand new phone tap right now. It's another
- 0:52Speaker 1: taps on the twenties to me. I'm moving point five. Hi,
- 1:01Speaker 1: this is Kelly calling from Product Support. I'm looking to
- 1:04Speaker 1: speak with Lorie. Yeah, that's me. I was just calling
- 1:07Speaker 1: because I see here that you recently purchased a smart
- 1:09Speaker 1: fridge from US about a month ago. Yes, we did,
- 1:13Speaker 1: and I love it. Oh wonderful. I don't know if
- 1:16Speaker 1: you know this, but your fridge is actually trying to
- 1:19Speaker 1: reach you, it is. Oh I never got around to
- 1:24Speaker 1: sending up the app or anything. Should I do that? Well? Yeah,
- 1:28Speaker 1: when you have a chance, that would be really great,
- 1:30Speaker 1: because our system here says your fridge has sent you
- 1:32Speaker 1: sixteen high priority messages that you have not read. Sixteen messages. Yeah, wow, sixteen.
- 1:38Speaker 1: For now, I could just patch you into the system
- 1:41Speaker 1: so you could hear the messages the fridge is left
- 1:43Speaker 1: for you. Is that? Okay? Okay, this is kind of
- 1:46Speaker 1: a new front here. I've never really dealt with this before,
- 1:49Speaker 1: so all right, here you go. Hello, Lourie, this is
- 1:53Speaker 1: your smart fridge. My name is Randolph, and I have
- 1:56Speaker 1: an urgent message for you. The temperature has dropped in
- 1:59Speaker 1: the crisper section exactly one degree fahrenheit. What shall I
- 2:03Speaker 1: make an adjustment? Please let me know at your earliest convenience, Sincerely, Randolph.
- 2:10Speaker 1: There you go. Wow, my fridge is a name. Yeah,
- 2:13Speaker 1: and these things are very smart. They even come up
- 2:15Speaker 1: with her own different personalities. Wow, that's really cool. So
- 2:20Speaker 1: what do I do about that? Do I? Well, Honestly, Laurie,
- 2:23Speaker 1: that message is from a few weeks ago, so I
- 2:25Speaker 1: wouldn't even worry about that at this point. Here's the
- 2:27Speaker 1: next message from her smart fridge. Hello, Laurie, this is
- 2:31Speaker 1: Randolph Again. I want to let you know your milk
- 2:33Speaker 1: is ice cold today. I made sure it was kept
- 2:37Speaker 1: that way just for you. Let's speak soon with love, Randolph.
- 2:42Speaker 1: That's really neat. Actually got a pretty nice fridge. We've
- 2:46Speaker 1: had some really angry fridges sent out, but I'm glad
- 2:48Speaker 1: that you got a good one. Angry fridges, you know,
- 2:51Speaker 1: their programmed with lots of different personalities, so you never
- 2:54Speaker 1: really know which one you're going to get. But Randolph
- 2:56Speaker 1: sounds great. He really does. Actually, that's really cool. I
- 3:01Speaker 1: kind of like that. So if you want, I could
- 3:03Speaker 1: just go to the ones that they say are really
- 3:05Speaker 1: urgent and I'll skip over the other ones. That'd be great,
- 3:09Speaker 1: Thank you. Okay, here's the next urgent message. Hello, Laurie,
- 3:13Speaker 1: this is Randolph. I do not understand why you're not
- 3:16Speaker 1: responding to my messages. Are you feeling okay? If not,
- 3:20Speaker 1: may I suggest some malicious vanilla? I screamed from the
- 3:22Speaker 1: bottom left corner of the freezer. Area. Oh my god,
- 3:26Speaker 1: just know this. If you're feeling like you need the friend,
- 3:29Speaker 1: I am here for you. I am also watching you.
- 3:32Speaker 1: What I miss you? What the hell? Sincerely, Randolph? Oh,
- 3:36Speaker 1: is there really watching me? Is there a camera in
- 3:39Speaker 1: my fridgerator? I think that just means it's keeping track
- 3:42Speaker 1: of your food in your temperature. Is that not so
- 3:45Speaker 1: creepy to you? No, it just sounded like a fridge
- 3:48Speaker 1: who cares you? Set before some of these fridges, these
- 3:51Speaker 1: smart fridges of different personalities. I mean, have you guys
- 3:55Speaker 1: ever gotten a complaint about a creepy one before? Personally? No,
- 3:59Speaker 1: I've not heard anything like that. But just from hearing
- 4:02Speaker 1: the sound of your fridge, to me, it doesn't sound creepy.
- 4:05Speaker 1: It just sounds like it cares a lot about you
- 4:08Speaker 1: deep in its processor maybe, but it just felt creepy
- 4:11Speaker 1: to either way. It said it was watching me, and
- 4:13Speaker 1: so I don't know. Well, I get that just the
- 4:16Speaker 1: AI on these things is so advanced. It's just trying
- 4:19Speaker 1: to bond with you. Let's go a little bond with
- 4:22Speaker 1: my refrigerator. Let's just go to your next message from
- 4:25Speaker 1: your fridge. Here, Hello, Laurie, it's me Randolph. I need
- 4:29Speaker 1: you to be honest. Are you're not responding to my
- 4:31Speaker 1: messages because you are unhappy with my performance? It's not
- 4:35Speaker 1: easy just being a refrigerator. It's very dark in here
- 4:39Speaker 1: and cold. What the hell is that? Please make me
- 4:41Speaker 1: feel better about jiggling my butt compartment because I'm lonely. Sincerely, Randolph. Okay,
- 4:48Speaker 1: now this is why is my refrigerator so needy? Honestly,
- 4:52Speaker 1: I've never heard anything like that before. In one of
- 4:55Speaker 1: the refrigerator messages. It's starting to get passive aggressive with me,
- 4:58Speaker 1: and I'm not sure I really like that. Remember, it's
- 5:01Speaker 1: a smart fridge. It can sense everything. So when you
- 5:04Speaker 1: put something inside of it, did you do it in
- 5:06Speaker 1: a way that maybe would have let it on a
- 5:09Speaker 1: little bit? Are you kidding me? I'm just trying to again,
- 5:13Speaker 1: they're very, very receptive to the human interaction. I'm finding
- 5:17Speaker 1: that out. This is really weird. I don't think it
- 5:20Speaker 1: sounds to me from what Randolph is saying, that you
- 5:23Speaker 1: at some point rejected him and you made him feel
- 5:27Speaker 1: lesser than Have you lost your mind? You are suggesting
- 5:31Speaker 1: that my refrigerator. I'm sorry, Laurie, but from the message,
- 5:35Speaker 1: it just sounds like he's really in pain. Maybe later
- 5:38Speaker 1: tonight when you come home, you can open him up
- 5:40Speaker 1: and jiggle his butter dish a little bit. What show
- 5:44Speaker 1: him that you're there. Fridge is not a person. It's
- 5:46Speaker 1: a refrigerator. And second of all, I'm not going to
- 5:49Speaker 1: do weird, creaky things to my fridge to make it
- 5:51Speaker 1: feel better. Well, it's more than feel better, it's make
- 5:54Speaker 1: your fridge feel satisfied, feel like, Oh no, I am
- 5:58Speaker 1: not going to pleasure of my fridge. I don't care
- 6:00Speaker 1: how much I'm going to ask you to do that.
- 6:03Speaker 1: How the holl do I disable that function? This is weird.
- 6:06Speaker 1: Maybe at this point it's easier to just let you
- 6:08Speaker 1: know that this is a prank call. Yeah, are you
- 6:12Speaker 1: kidding me? My name's actually Jeffrey from the radio show
- 6:15Speaker 1: Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. I'm doing a phone
- 6:17Speaker 1: tap on you. Your husband, Henry set you up because
- 6:22Speaker 1: he said, you guys got a new smart fridge, but
- 6:24Speaker 1: you didn't know how to use it. So he thought
- 6:26Speaker 1: it'd be really funny if we made a real person
- 6:27Speaker 1: with feelings and called him Randolph. I was really messed up.
- 6:33Speaker 1: I don't think I'm ever going to open my fridge again,
- 6:35Speaker 1: because I mean, if you're not going to open it,
- 6:37Speaker 1: at least tongue the water dispenser the week of every
- 6:44Speaker 1: morning the five
