Hello, Aleijah, Hi, Hi, Well, welcome to War of the
Roses. We understand which while weheard you speak a little bit on the
subject of ghosting and how frequent andoften it's happening now in our society,
and you are now the victim ofjust that. Correct, Yes, I
am. I met someone. Thingswere going well about four months. You

(00:22):
know that was past. I thought, four months, okay, is it
enough time to actually pick up thephone to call a radio station? I
do? I say, four monthsis 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 nonexistence, like wow, I thought I

(00:42):
would have deserved it. Let's let'slet let me let me get to let
me get to a question that nobodyseems to want to answer up front.
You think it could be a problemwith you. It's not you ghosting him,
it's him ghosting you. If youwere 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

Okay, are you dating anybody?Not anymore? Oh you were dating
somebody? Maybe you might want tosend them flowers. And I'm not really

(02:58):
trying to reopen that and and getengaged 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 Ikind 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 meno more. Oh okay, Oh wow,
that's that's harsh. That's cold,don't you think I mean? I

(03:22):
mean, I'm getting older, youknow what I'm saying, Like, I
don't really have a lot of timeto be playing around. If I'm gonna
do something, I'm gonna stick itthrough. 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

(03:43):
never said anyone's name? Who areyou? Who is this? What?
No? I didn't you mention?Does he send you to call me?
I'm sorry, but like I'm notdoing this anymore? Like why why didn't
you personally just pick up the phoneand tell her that yourself? And why?
You know what I mean? Andthey even gave him an all opportunity.
Wait a minute, that would havebeen cool just playing blocked or what?

(04:05):
How bad does she? Okay?My name is Sean Hollywood Hamilton.
I'm a radio personality in New YorkCity on WKTU, and you're on something
called War of the Roses, whichis 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 orderto give us your consent to air this
later on at five forty. Butright now, why don't we just listen

(04:29):
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'sgoing nicely very so far. Civil
gentlemanly, how's your habit? I'msorry, my what your habit? What

(04:55):
are you talking about? So aLeah 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 wouldnot only be on Availa cling on that

(05:17):
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 likelike this, this is beyond treky,
This is scary treky, Like thisis this ain't normal tricky. Okay,
I thought this was a thing ofthe past. I knew it was still

(05:38):
a thing. Yeah, but stillpretty popular. Okay, but it's twenty
twenty four. When was the lasttime you see a new episode of Star
Trek bold lygo where no man hasgone before. I know most people think
of Star Trek as being just CaptainKirk, but there are new episodes dropping
all the time. There was StarTrek per Card. There was Star Trek

(05:58):
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. Ididn'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 wherethey're trying to save the grain and the

(06:23):
Tribles eat all the grain and thenthey multiply exponentiallys are afraid of Tribles.
It's really funny. Ye's what I'mtalking about right now. This is exactly
what I'm talking about. Have noidea, no idea? Oh my god,
is there any way? No,it's too much? Absolutely much?
Wow. Interesting? Is there anythat you can loosen the hold of the

(06:46):
Star Trek obsession? Like, couldyou 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 becauseit sees a future that's not DYSTOPI,
and it talks about future for humanbeings 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

(07:09):
much, the main thing to dowould have been to say something to me
to be direct. Well, okay, all right, I hear you out,
but guess what those are your interestsand that is not compatible with my
interest You failed, you failed tomiss the point the ross he was just
saying. You could have at least, you know, give her closure,
and you could have called it andsaid, you know, it's not working
out because of A B and C. Hear me out, though. I

(07:31):
didn't want her to snap on mebecause it seemed like that's the direction it
was going. So I just triedto slide out unscathed. That's what I
was trying to do. And heary'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 justhave to focus. Still have conventions.
There are conventions. Actually, there'ssomething called Dragon con which she's down in

(07:54):
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 onby a couple of Klingons, you know,
next generation Klingons, which you knowyou don't want that. What the
hell are we doing? Hey,hey, we got real problems in the

(08:15):
world and we're talking about Klingons.You're very closed off ros. You know
what, Actually I think maybe I'mthe 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

(08:35):
you know what, you know what, Ross you live long and prosper elsewhere.
Go ahead with this boot. She'slaughing. Now, okay, great,
that's good.
