Hello, Aleijah, Hi, Hi, Well, welcome to War of the Roses. We understand which while we heard you speak a little bit on the subject of ghosting and how frequent and often it's happening now in our society, and you are now the victim of just that. Correct, Yes, I am. I met someone. Things were going well about four months. You know that was past. I thought, four months, okay, is it enough time to actually pick up the phone to call a radio station? I

do? I say, four months is long enough where you really want to find some answers? I thought so, I mean to go from texting every day to complete radio silence to non existence, like wow, I thought I would have deserved it. Let's let's let let me let me get to let me get to a question that nobody seems to want to answer up front. You think it could be a problem with you. It's not you ghosting him, it's him ghosting you. If you were ghosting him, it would be

a problem with him. Correct. Maybe, I mean tell me that, say you know, say something, You're man enough to go, you know what, I've made another choice? Okay, all right, here we go, Aleah oh are we calling his ros Ross? Yellow? Hi? Ross. How are you. My name is Marie. I'm calling from red Roses dot com. I'm calling to give you a dozen long stem roses today and I'll explain if you give me a minute. You're not going to ask us for my credit call to email because I want to fa inbody. No,

sir, I am not going to ask you for any personal information. We're a brand no no, no, no, not that either. We're a brand new company in the Tri State area and we're just trying to get our name out there, keep people talking about us. The company came up with this promotional vehicle where we get a list of names, we call them randomly, give them a dozen long stemroses, and in return for these free flowers, we just ask that you talk about us on your social media. So

are these are free flowers? I cannot send them directly to you, So it's like a pay it forward type thing. You have these free flowers and you get to send them to somebody special in your life and wait, hold on, wait, wait, wait wait wait, So you want you want me to like, like do promo for you. Yeah, if you could just talk about us on your social media and even the person that you're sending the flowers to. If they could do the same, we would greatly appreciate

any help getting worded out about our business. What if I don't have anyone to send those flowers to? Oh are you so you're not married? No? Okay, are you dating anybody? Not anymore? Oh you were dating somebody? Maybe you might want to send them flowers. And I'm not really trying to reopen that and and get engaged with that again. It was like, I'm in the clear right now, Like I don't have any issues. I'm I'm far removed, so I kind of want to keep it that way.

Well maybe they might need closure. I think it's pretty closed. I blocked them. They can't call me no more. Oh okay, Oh wow, that's that's harsh. That's cold, don't you think I mean? I mean, I'm getting older, you know what I'm saying, Like, I don't really have a lot of time to be playing around. If I'm gonna do something, I'm gonna stick it through. And if I'm not feeling it then I'm just just so we're clear, you just have no interest in Aliyah

contacting you? Ever, again, how how do you know about Aliyah? Didn't you say nothing about a Liah. I thought you said Aleah. I never said anyone's name? Who are you? Who is this? What? No? I didn't you mention? Does he send you to call me? I'm sorry, but like I'm not doing this anymore? Like why why didn't you personally just pick up the phone and tell her that yourself? And why? You know what I mean? And they even gave him an all opportunity.

Wait a minute, that would have been cool just playing blocked or what? How bad does she? Okay? My name is Sean Hollywood Hamilton. I'm a radio personality in New York City on WKTU, and you're on something called War of the Roses, which is a very popular feature that we do every afternoon at five forty. Uh. And what we're gonna do is we're gonna offer you an incentive in order to give us your consent to air this later on at five forty. But right now, why don't we just listen

to what Aliah's got to say. Yeah, A Liah's on the line right communicate he ross How you doing, Leah? I'm my how you all right? I guess it's going nicely. It's going nicely very so far. Civil gentlemanly, how's your habit? I'm sorry, my what your habit? What are you talking about? So a Leah has this weird fixation with the Star Treks series in the motion picture franchise, Like that's all she talks about, that's all she ever obsesses over. She even has Star Trek clothing and memorabilia,

like, like, it's wild. This woman even tries to speak kling on, Bro that your position would not only be on Availa cling on that ain't even a real language, man, but also undignified. Okay, so she's a truck She's a trecky. Really, nah, It's one thing to be like a trecky, but like like this, this is beyond treky, This is scary treky, Like this is this ain't normal tricky. Okay, I thought this was a thing of the past. I knew it was still

a thing. Yeah, but still pretty popular. Okay, but it's twenty twenty four. When was the last time you see a new episode of Star Trek bold lygo where no man has gone before. I know most people think of Star Trek as being just Captain Kirk, but there are new episodes dropping all the time. There was Star Trek per Card. There was Star Trek Discovery and Star Trek's Strange New World, which is the reimagining of a wonderful

franchise, which are really entertaining. I didn't think I was boring him with this. I'm I'm a fan. I like sharing that, I like talking about that. I didn't. I didn't think it was a problem. I mean troubles. Who doesn't love troubles? Like Tribbles from the original series. I'm the Trouble with Tribles episode where they're trying to save the grain and the Tribles eat all the grain and then they multiply exponentiallys are afraid of Tribles.

It's really funny. Ye's what I'm talking about right now. This is exactly what I'm talking about. Have no idea, no idea? Oh my god, is there any way? No, it's too much? Absolutely much? Wow. Interesting? Is there any that you can loosen the hold of the Star Trek obsession? Like, could you see? I don't think of it

as an obsession. I mean, if you actually understand Star Trek, it's better than other sci fi franchises because it sees a future that's not DYSTOPI, and it talks about future for human beings where we are better to each other. There's no hunger, there's no war. I mean, I don't understand how how someone doesn't like that. And if I was talking about it too much, the main thing to do would have been to say something to me

to be direct. Well, okay, all right, I hear you out, but guess what those are your interests and that is not compatible with my interest You failed, you failed to miss the point the ross he was just saying. You could have at least, you know, give her closure, and you could have called it and said, you know, it's not working out because of A B and C. Hear me out, though. I didn't want her to snap on me because it seemed like that's the direction it

was going. So I just tried to slide out unscathed. That's what I was trying to do. And hear y'all had to be back in the fire. I love this, you know, it's there's always you gotta find somebody at the convention. You really just have to focus. Still have conventions. There are conventions. Actually, there's something called Dragon con which she's down in Atlanta every year. I go. But my first convention was a Star Trek

convention. My mother took me. I addressed this with Sanata horror because of course, and we got hit on by a couple of Klingons, you know, next generation Klingons, which you know you don't want that. What the hell are we doing? Hey, hey, we got real problems in the world and we're talking about Klingons. You're very closed off ros. You know what, Actually I think maybe I'm the one who's dodged the phaser that you

can't find something in your life. All right, Aleah, thank you so much for being uh not only patient, but uh understanding and your cue and you know what, you know what, Ross you live long and prosper elsewhere. Go ahead with this boot. She's laughing. Now, okay, great, that's good.
