It was like he then took the letter to a whole new level of deception.ДЇirst he said, when I met him at the bar- the first thing he said to me was, oh, I recognized you immediately. It wasn't just that he had seen my letter and kind of went with it. And it was kind of frustrating to me because I felt like, why is he doing this? I couldn't understand why he would do this. But then, on the other hand, it was sort of strange because he kept talking about our encounter in the airport. He doesn't need to know that I made up the story. And the first surprise is he looks nothing, nothing like his picture. And so instead, she shows up, and she has a drink with him at his hotel. And a musician talks about a very unusual, slightly mind-bending request by one of his fans.Д«ut before we get any of that, consider what happened to Lori. Later in our program today, we have the story of self-appointed secret agents going around New York City hoping to serve the forces of good and not evil till things get more emotional than they planned. You're listening to This American Life, by the way, from Chicago Public Radio. Well, today on our radio show, we have three stories of mind games, situations where a simple deception goes way out of hand and leads to all kinds of things that it was never intended to lead to. Because on the one hand, you know, how fated, how romantic comedy can you get? Both at the airport, right? And then on the other hand, what the hell is he talking about? They've never met. Which, of course, was the single most confusing thing that he could possibly say. And when he meets me, he's going to be really disappointed that I'm not whoever he was thinking of. Like, maybe he met some other girl in the airport a long time ago, and he thinks that I'm that girl. And what a coincidence, he's coming to LA to do a story the next day, and can we see each other again? And I'm thinking to myself, again? This didn't happen.ДЄnd I'm really worried that he thinks that I'm somebody else. And he starts to tell me that he's really glad that he heard from me because, yes, he's the guy from the airport. I'm the guy from the airport.ДЄnd I'm floored because I can't believe that he's calling me, that I'm actually on the phone with him, that I'm talking to this guy that I was momentarily obsessed with.

So I said, you're not the cable guy? And he says, no. And this whole thing goes back and forth until I realize that he's not the cable guy. So I say, where have you been? And he says, I know. And I say, hello? And the person says, is this Lori? And I say yes. So we're gonna hang on with you while we contact him, and he's going to call you. So I'm on the phone with the cable company, and they're saying, the guy in the field is going to call you any second on your call waiting. I'd been waiting for, like, three days for the cable guy. And I was actually waiting for the cable guy. So then one day, like three months later, I get a call. After I sent the letter, I really regretted actually sending the letter because I was really sort of just embarrassed that I had done this. So I don't hear from him, which I was relieved by, actually.
