Hello, Aleijah, Hi, Hi, Well, welcome to War of the

2
00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:09.160
Roses. We understand which while we
heard you speak a little bit on the

3
00:00:09.199 --> 00:00:13.400
subject of ghosting and how frequent and
often it's happening now in our society,

4
00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:17.559
and you are now the victim of
just that. Correct, Yes, I

5
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:22.120
am. I met someone. Things
were going well about four months. You

6
00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:25.600
know that was past. I thought, four months, okay, is it

7
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:29.600
enough time to actually pick up the
phone to call a radio station? I

8
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:34.719
do? I say, four months
is long enough where you really want to

9
00:00:34.759 --> 00:00:37.920
find some answers? I thought so, I mean to go from texting every

10
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:42.600
day to complete radio silence to non
existence, like wow, I thought I

11
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:45.399
would have deserved it. Let's let's
let let me let me get to let

12
00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:48.600
me get to a question that nobody
seems to want to answer up front.

13
00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:53.719
You think it could be a problem
with you. It's not you ghosting him,

14
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:57.039
it's him ghosting you. If you
were ghosting him, it would be

15
00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:02.000
a problem with him. Correct.
Maybe, I mean tell me that,

16
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:03.920
say you know, say something,
You're man enough to go, you know

17
00:01:03.959 --> 00:01:07.680
what, I've made another choice?
Okay, all right, here we go,

18
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:23.959
Aleah oh are we calling his ros
Ross? Yellow? Hi? Ross.

19
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:26.439
How are you. My name is
Marie. I'm calling from red Roses

20
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:32.079
dot com. I'm calling to give
you a dozen long stem roses today and

21
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:36.319
I'll explain if you give me a
minute. You're not going to ask us

22
00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:38.599
for my credit call to email because
I want to fa inbody. No,

23
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:44.239
sir, I am not going to
ask you for any personal information. We're

24
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:49.840
a brand no no, no,
no, not that either. We're a

25
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:53.640
brand new company in the Tri State
area and we're just trying to get our

26
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:57.519
name out there, keep people talking
about us. The company came up with

27
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:01.680
this promotional vehicle where we get a
list of names, we call them randomly,

28
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:06.719
give them a dozen long stemroses,
and in return for these free flowers,

29
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:10.120
we just ask that you talk about
us on your social media. So

30
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:15.560
are these are free flowers? I
cannot send them directly to you, So

31
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:19.639
it's like a pay it forward type
thing. You have these free flowers and

32
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:23.560
you get to send them to somebody
special in your life and wait, hold

33
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:24.840
on, wait, wait, wait
wait wait, So you want you want

34
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:29.879
me to like, like do promo
for you. Yeah, if you could

35
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:35.319
just talk about us on your social
media and even the person that you're sending

36
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:38.159
the flowers to. If they could
do the same, we would greatly appreciate

37
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:44.240
any help getting worded out about our
business. What if I don't have anyone

38
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:47.080
to send those flowers to? Oh
are you so you're not married? No?

39
00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:52.159
Okay, are you dating anybody?
Not anymore? Oh you were dating

40
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:58.240
somebody? Maybe you might want to
send them flowers. And I'm not really

41
00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:01.759
trying to reopen that and and get
engaged with that again. It was like,

42
00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:05.800
I'm in the clear right now,
Like I don't have any issues.

43
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:08.120
I'm I'm far removed, so I
kind of want to keep it that way.

44
00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:13.680
Well maybe they might need closure.
I think it's pretty closed. I

45
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:17.479
blocked them. They can't call me
no more. Oh okay, Oh wow,

46
00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:22.439
that's that's harsh. That's cold,
don't you think I mean? I

47
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:23.840
mean, I'm getting older, you
know what I'm saying, Like, I

48
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:25.240
don't really have a lot of time
to be playing around. If I'm gonna

49
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:28.280
do something, I'm gonna stick it
through. And if I'm not feeling it

50
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:31.639
then I'm just just so we're clear, you just have no interest in Aliyah

51
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:38.120
contacting you? Ever, again,
how how do you know about Aliyah?

52
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:43.159
Didn't you say nothing about a Liah. I thought you said Aleah. I

53
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:46.120
never said anyone's name? Who are
you? Who is this? What?

54
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:49.800
No? I didn't you mention?
Does he send you to call me?

55
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:54.560
I'm sorry, but like I'm not
doing this anymore? Like why why didn't

56
00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:58.080
you personally just pick up the phone
and tell her that yourself? And why?

57
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:00.520
You know what I mean? And
they even gave him an all opportunity.

58
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:04.520
Wait a minute, that would have
been cool just playing blocked or what?

59
00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:09.280
How bad does she? Okay?
My name is Sean Hollywood Hamilton.

60
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:13.599
I'm a radio personality in New York
City on WKTU, and you're on something

61
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:15.680
called War of the Roses, which
is a very popular feature that we do

62
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:19.439
every afternoon at five forty. Uh. And what we're gonna do is we're

63
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:23.680
gonna offer you an incentive in order
to give us your consent to air this

64
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:29.279
later on at five forty. But
right now, why don't we just listen

65
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:32.680
to what Aliah's got to say.
Yeah, A Liah's on the line right

66
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:43.920
communicate he ross How you doing,
Leah? I'm my how you all right?

67
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:46.800
I guess it's going nicely. It's
going nicely very so far. Civil

68
00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:55.519
gentlemanly, how's your habit? I'm
sorry, my what your habit? What

69
00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:59.639
are you talking about? So a
Leah has this weird fixation with the Star

70
00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:03.800
Treks series in the motion picture franchise, Like that's all she talks about,

71
00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:11.000
that's all she ever obsesses over.
She even has Star Trek clothing and memorabilia,

72
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:14.399
like, like, it's wild.
This woman even tries to speak kling

73
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:17.639
on, Bro that your position would
not only be on Availa cling on that

74
00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:21.720
ain't even a real language, man, but also undignified. Okay, so

75
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:28.240
she's a truck She's a trecky.
Really, nah, It's one thing to

76
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:30.519
be like a trecky, but like
like this, this is beyond treky,

77
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:34.120
This is scary treky, Like this
is this ain't normal tricky. Okay,

78
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:38.000
I thought this was a thing of
the past. I knew it was still

79
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:42.800
a thing. Yeah, but still
pretty popular. Okay, but it's twenty

80
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:45.079
twenty four. When was the last
time you see a new episode of Star

81
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:48.800
Trek bold lygo where no man has
gone before. I know most people think

82
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:54.839
of Star Trek as being just Captain
Kirk, but there are new episodes dropping

83
00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:58.000
all the time. There was Star
Trek per Card. There was Star Trek

84
00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:02.360
Discovery and Star Trek's Strange New World, which is the reimagining of a wonderful

85
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:06.160
franchise, which are really entertaining.
I didn't think I was boring him with

86
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:10.759
this. I'm I'm a fan.
I like sharing that, I like talking

87
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:13.000
about that. I didn't. I
didn't think it was a problem. I

88
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:16.680
mean troubles. Who doesn't love troubles? Like Tribbles from the original series.

89
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:23.879
I'm the Trouble with Tribles episode where
they're trying to save the grain and the

90
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:29.839
Tribles eat all the grain and then
they multiply exponentiallys are afraid of Tribles.

91
00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:32.000
It's really funny. Ye's what I'm
talking about right now. This is exactly

92
00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:36.279
what I'm talking about. Have no
idea, no idea? Oh my god,

93
00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:40.959
is there any way? No,
it's too much? Absolutely much?

94
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:46.279
Wow. Interesting? Is there any
that you can loosen the hold of the

95
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:49.519
Star Trek obsession? Like, could
you see? I don't think of it

96
00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:54.040
as an obsession. I mean,
if you actually understand Star Trek, it's

97
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:59.040
better than other sci fi franchises because
it sees a future that's not DYSTOPI,

98
00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:02.360
and it talks about future for human
beings where we are better to each other.

99
00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:05.000
There's no hunger, there's no war. I mean, I don't understand

100
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:09.800
how how someone doesn't like that.
And if I was talking about it too

101
00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:13.399
much, the main thing to do
would have been to say something to me

102
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:16.560
to be direct. Well, okay, all right, I hear you out,

103
00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:20.680
but guess what those are your interests
and that is not compatible with my

104
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:25.319
interest You failed, you failed to
miss the point the ross he was just

105
00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:27.680
saying. You could have at least, you know, give her closure,

106
00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:29.519
and you could have called it and
said, you know, it's not working

107
00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:31.279
out because of A B and C. Hear me out, though. I

108
00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:33.800
didn't want her to snap on me
because it seemed like that's the direction it

109
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:38.240
was going. So I just tried
to slide out unscathed. That's what I

110
00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:40.480
was trying to do. And hear
y'all had to be back in the fire.

111
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:46.480
I love this, you know,
it's there's always you gotta find somebody

112
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:49.279
at the convention. You really just
have to focus. Still have conventions.

113
00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:54.879
There are conventions. Actually, there's
something called Dragon con which she's down in

114
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:59.079
Atlanta every year. I go.
But my first convention was a Star Trek

115
00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:03.319
convention. My mother took me.
I addressed this with Sanata horror because of

116
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:07.480
course, and we got hit on
by a couple of Klingons, you know,

117
00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:11.000
next generation Klingons, which you know
you don't want that. What the

118
00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:15.000
hell are we doing? Hey,
hey, we got real problems in the

119
00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:18.839
world and we're talking about Klingons.
You're very closed off ros. You know

120
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:22.680
what, Actually I think maybe I'm
the one who's dodged the phaser that you

121
00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:28.639
can't find something in your life.
All right, Aleah, thank you so

122
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:35.080
much for being uh not only patient, but uh understanding and your cue and

123
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:37.440
you know what, you know what, Ross you live long and prosper elsewhere.

124
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:46.080
Go ahead with this boot. She's
laughing. Now, okay, great,

125
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:46.559
that's good.
