Speaker 1 (00:00):
You ever been blown off, if you're wondering why you're
(00:03):
not getting a call back and you want an update
on that second date, if you've been left on red,
you're following a lot of people. Do this all right,
this is the Joe Show's left on Red where we'll
give them a call and kind of figure out what
exactly happened on that date. Love An ninety three to
three FLZ. I did say that I've already called Steve before,
so real quick, Hey Steve, Hey, Hi, So Steve, you
(00:27):
and I were talking last night, you know, gave you
a little day. Do you do you mind? We had
someone reach out about you and we do a radio show,
Da Da Da dah. You said, yes, I'm down to
talk to Leah who Leah hit us up and this
was one that we've never really done before where you
guys haven't even gone on a date yet exactly. Let's
(00:51):
welcome on Leah, Hi Leah, Hi Hi. So Leah. We
didn't mention a tech next that you had sent before
the date, and that's what we're going to discuss right now. So, Steve,
if you would be OsO willing to share the text
(01:14):
message you received before you guys went out.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Well, yeah, I told her that I wasn't gonna be
able to make it, and then she sends me a
text message, freaking crazy text message being like that's not
good enough. Send me your location right now so I
can confirm this.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Why were you not going to make it?
Speaker 2 (01:36):
I was on the way to the hospital. Look, I
was really excited to go on the date with her.
We've been talking for a couple weeks on Instagram. Everything
seemed great. But there was an emergency that happened. I
had to go to the hospital. I told her. I
felt terrible about it. But now that I'm on the radio,
and now the fact that like she sent that text message,
like this, this whole situation is crazy, and like there's
no way I'm going out with her ever again.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Or to begin with, Leah, what's going on? Why why
send that?
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Because Okay, obviously I'm excited for the date, right I
get dressed up, I put my makeup on, I go out,
and we have these plans and I'm hodded to the restaurant,
spending my time my Friday night doing this and I
get this text that he can't make it, and to
hear like, oh, I'm heading to the hospital. I'm thinking, yeah,
(02:29):
I've heard this a thousand times before, like what a
great way to bail on a date, you know, and
I've put in this effort to go on this date
and it's just like a sham response, you know. So
then I'm thinking, okay, well, like are you actually the hospital?
Probably not, This is probably an excuse, So okay, like
send me your location showing me at the hospital, and
(02:51):
then I hear nothing back, and I know, okay, so
you can't prove it.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Yeah, wouldn't it be weird though, if you've never met
someone like you would be willing to share your location
with Steve even though you've never even met him.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
If I cared about him and I was trying to
prove that there was a real reason that I was
bailing on a date and I wanted to keep that relationship,
you know, healthy or what could be a healthy relationship,
then yeah, I would just to show him like I'm
being serious.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Yeah, No, No, that was crazy.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Absolutely was.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Scary.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
That's such a wild text message to sit there and
to send somebody new like we we hadn't even met
yet in person, and that's such a wild text message.
They have to prove that I'm going to the hospital.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Like, no, But how am I supposed to know for
real that you're being honest and not just ditching me?
Because I don't know you. I can't trust you. I
don't know who you are. I don't know if you're
just ditching me. You know, right, we don't know each other,
So why would.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
I send you my location? That's the whole boyt Like.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Maybe be like, hey, send me a picture of you
in the hospital, even if that would be widely inappropriate.
But like the fact that you asked for my location, Like, girl,
we don't know each other.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
That's wild. No, but if you cared about what I
thought and knowing that I wasn't feeling like I was
being dumped, you would shown me that you were being honest.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Hey, we get it. Text An eighty one three number
Real Quick eight one three numbers says they want to
see Ashley defend this.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
I can't.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Why can't you defend.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
The craziest thing are because we just talked about locations
with Jed and I just think that is wow.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
You don't even know this person.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
Why would you send them your location?
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Could have from eight hundred four nine ninety three ninety
three By the way, we'll call you if you text him,
but make it easier on us. Just call eight hundred
four n ninety three ninety three, text in at ninety
seven seven two zero real quick, and then we'll get
to everyone's stand. And not to cut you off, Jed,
but I am curious with Katie. It's Katie's first day
on the show. Welcome. What do you think? And just
(04:59):
be honest.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
I I think asking for a location it's a little much,
you know what.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I understand, Hey, it takes a lot.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
I take two hours to get ready, so I completely
understand the frustration.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
But maybe like a picture, you know of just like.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
You're the hallway at the hot just a little something something, Hey.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Tammy, good morning, morning love. What do you think.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
She's crazy?
Speaker 3 (05:28):
They haven't even went out on the first date yet
he owes her nothing. Even if he was lying, he
owes her nothing.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Go Steve, do you promise you were being honest?
Speaker 2 (05:40):
I was being one hundred percent honest, one hundred percent honest.
I had a thing that happened. It required me to
go to the hospital. I spent the entire night there.
By the way, this is not a this is not
a fun situation. For me, I would have much rather
gone on a date, but granted, considering how crazy she is,
maybe not. I don't know. This is a weird situation.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Do you ever think about maybe taking how about on
another date? But keep your bracelet on that they give
you at the hospital?
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Yeah, they give you.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Then when you were growing up, you'd keep those on
and bring it to school. Yeah, I love you. Tammy. Hey, Matthew, Matthew,
you're on with Steve and Leah.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Hey, uh, Leah, you're in the wrong. There's no reason
he would need to share location and to prove and
you'll have even met. That's just crazy.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
You're asking a lot.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
But if he lied, what if he liked I'm just
trying to help out, Leah.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
I mean, if he did, that's him. But you'll have
You'll haven't even met yet, so you're already asking for
a location.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
That kind of sounds kind of crazy.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Jed, you're single now. He is super attractive, great person,
So I'm going to pick up for her, maybe get
another day.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Defend Leah, and not because I want to go out
with her, but just for for From this standpoint, what
if Joe on the date Matthew, hold on one second,
I'll be done like about that. I would say, what,
how weird would it be if he was like, hey,
I send me your location, I'll head over to your
place kind of thing, you know what I'm saying? So, like,
(07:12):
I don't I think that from that perspective, like she
would have been creeped out and weirded out by that too.
Does that make sense? Like, I think that would be
socially acceptable to the roles were reversed and he would
be like, Hey, it's not a big deal to send
me your location. We went out on the first date.
(07:33):
It would be one of those things where you already
went out. I don't know. I don't even know.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
I don't even.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
That happens New Year.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Can't find the button.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Button? No, you should not.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
I'm done with that now, redesigning everything you can get.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
My point is you could have just shared your location
with her for an hour and then you just would
have just said, get whatever, okay.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
All right, carry in. You're on with Stephen Leah, Hey,
I love what do you think?
Speaker 6 (08:04):
So I do kind of agree with Steve that it's
really weird that if you haven't even met the person
and you're already asking for their location. I think that's
kind of a red flag. I kind of get where
she's coming from that she's interested, but she you know,
she doesn't even know the guy. They haven't even met yet.
Why do you need someone to prove that they're where
(08:25):
they are? Where they are? It really shouldn't matter if
you haven't even met yet. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Well, listen, I appreciate you, you know, carry in. I'm
trying to figure out is anyone on Leah's side. We
tried to have Jed doing. He couldn't pull it off.
Mental fart, No, not a mental fart. You just can't
figure it out. I mean, someone's got it.
Speaker 6 (08:45):
And I'm a girl's girl one hundred percent. I support
a women one hundred percent because that's just me. But
I can't support this because even I wouldn't do that.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
All right, let me try one last thing. We're gonna
try one last thing.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
A Oh my man, Andy, Yo, my man just gonna
last off for the o'clock and out clocking out.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Bet you better not be by the way. My man
for the next two weeks is on overnight, so we're
gonna get him super early and then later he's gonna
go to bed. But uh, one last thing that I
need you to do. Forget about what you were about
to say. Have Leah's back real quick.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
Actually do no, I know I do. Okay, listen, I'm
not gonna lie. Ask it for the location. It was
a little much, but me as a person I am
you know, I would have gave a positive reassurance, you know,
like I would have not gave it a location, but
I would have sold it a hospital or something like.
I could understand that, you know, she got prepared and
waited all the time to go meet you. Y'all was
(09:40):
talking online. I'm assuming se Ad Battie you know, or
you know you attracted or to her and you're feeling her.
You could have gave a little bit of reinsurrements that yeah,
I'm sorry, I have to go to the hospital instead
of just ghosting it, which makes me think that you know,
you know, I would have thought something use like if
somebody did that to me, I'm like, yeah, you know,
you just went to in on another day and you
just want to say, you what's at the hospital, because
(10:01):
like she says, she's heard that all before. You know,
you could have gave us some reassurance if he was
really interested in hook m.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Hm, right.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
There at that, Jules love you man, get some sleep, Steven, Leah,
I'm assuming no, uh no other date, Steve yeaut.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Yeah no, absolutely not. I hear what that man was saying.
But like, you don't start off with the location.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Thing, Leah, did we learn anything or do you not care?
Speaker 3 (10:32):
I just feel like everybody was bullying me. Everybody was
being so mean, calling me crazy. Obviously they've never been
ditched on a date before, but I have, and soil
that really triggers me. And so I'm just like, obviously
they don't have any compassion or empathy from where I'm
coming from.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Well, Leah, they're they're big, big dummies. How dare they?
Leah will talk to you later, Steve will talk to
you later, and listen. I tried to get someone on
her side
