Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're waking up in the morning. Guys, my favorite thing happened.
I met someone in the wild on New Year's Eve.
I mean, you don't hear that anymore. It's my favorite.
And now I'm a little hung up as to what
time of day I should text them. Is that weird
of me to think of that? Is that my brain
just kind of overreacting a little bit. Let me introduce
(00:21):
you to Liam Audi. We're gonna hear from a boy's perspective.
I really wanted to get your take on this one.
And guys, Liam works at seven hundred WLW on the
Mike McConnell Show, and he's got a relatively high EQ.
So I felt like you would be a really good person.
Am I overthinking this? What's the appropriate time of day?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Well, you know, when you're younger, you know, maybe a
late night text is cool, but no offense. I'm not
calling you older or anything, but we're different demographic age wise.
So I think as I get older, I'm like, you know,
a good morning text. I think I like that, you know,
get my day started on a positive note. I like
good energy, like have a great day, good morning. I
always you don't hear that all the time.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I always feel bad though, texting someone when I get up,
because that's at like four thirty. When I get up
at the same time a bit.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
You don't have to wait. You don't have to text someone.
You get up if you know his schedule and he's
like eight or nine o'clock, maybe even ten, not too early.
Don't want to be like, wake up first thing you see,
but it could be the first thing he sees and
you're on his mind.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
So good morning text from a guy's perspective is nice.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Yeah, because I think there's different implications with the late
night text. Later in the day you go in the
morning text, so I think it's better in the morning
personally for me.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
When I met this man on New Year's Eve, I said,
he gave me his number, and I said that I
would text him. I have yet to text him yet,
mostly because I've just been wrapped up in work. If
I'm hitting him up for the very first time, should
I do that in the morning, lunch or while I'm
watching TV at night for the very first time.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Very first time? I think nine to twelve for sure.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
BBM.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Yeah, because you texted me the first time late at night.
It's like, hey, come over. What are you doing?
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (01:52):
I thought I might have been overthinking it, but you're right,
Like I didn't want I was like, is it appropriate
to hit someone up at nine pm while I'm watching TV?
Probably not?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Well, I mean you can, but the implications are different
at nine pm than nine am, for sure.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Okay, thank you, Liam, I appreciate you. He's got to
go back to seven hundred WLW. Okay, so let me
tell you guys want to hear how it actually happened.
I figured you would love to get in on this conversation.
I am a big proponent of meeting someone in the wild.
It's actually the only thing I've ever done because I
haven't signed up for app based dating since I've been
(02:25):
single for almost three years, and I don't have any
like if you do it, that's amazing. I just have
had this conversation so many times with myself and a
lot of times with my therapist, and I had said,
you know, am I just trying? Am I holding back?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Like?
Speaker 1 (02:40):
What is it that's preventing me from doing this? And
I think it could be a little bit of ego
if I'm checking myself EQ wise, you know, it could
be that but I also just think that I don't
connect with people over photos. You know, I've never looked
at someone and been like, Ooh, I want to date them.
It's all about the personality for me. So I said
to myself, I'm just gonna go with my gut on
(03:01):
this one. And I don't meet a lot of people
in the wild. It's not like it's happening every weekend.
But I really try to keep myself open to the
universe when I'm out and about. I try not to
be on my phone too much, and I really try
to put myself out there. If this is the way
in which I'm deciding, I'm going to do it. So
New Year's Eve, I meet this guy and you know,
we're chit chatting back and forth a little bit here
(03:22):
and there while I was out at Vintage Lounge, and
I was like, I thought we had some good conversation.
Fast forward to the next day. I am, guys, I
am borderline about to ask John John if this guy
is single, because they're mutual friends. I hit up John John.
I said, Hey, I have to ask you a question,
and I don't want you to answer ask any follow
(03:43):
up questions. And He's like, okay, Tiffany. Before I got
the answer from him, I went over to my Instagram
and I had a DM from that guy and he
had said, Hey, it was really great meeting you last night,
and that was my end. I said, okay, I said, hey,
it was great meeting you too. I didn't waste any time.
I said, if you want to meet for a coffee
or drink, I like to give both options, like an
early morning option and a night option. Let me know.
(04:04):
And he's like, absolutely, I'm down for either. Here's my number.
And that's kind of where we're still sitting now. Again,
this was like, you know, two days ago, and we're
all wrapped up in the end of the week and
getting ourselves prepared, so and I figured i'd wait towards
the end of the week anyways, and I'm going to
text him. But that's how we met. I'll keep you posted.
I'll keep you updated on if it's coffee, cocktails or whatever.
(04:24):
But I think that Liam is correct in saying that
nine am to noon is probably like the best time
to reach out. My brain was probably overthinking it, but
let's hear from you too. I always like to open
up the phone line. Not that the thing ever closes
five one, three, seven, four nine, one oh seven one.
When you're hitting someone up, whether it's through the app
(04:45):
or through texting or DM like myself, what is the
best time in your brain to text someone, I'd I'd
love to continue to get the guy's perspective. But ladies,
of course, you know, can also talk back with Tiff
on iHeartRadio as well. Hi, good morning, You're a wake
up up with Tiff in the morning on kiss on
O seven one. Happy New Year. If this is the
first time you and I are connecting, or maybe I'm
(05:05):
the first voice that you're hearing today, we're in the
midst of chit chatting about what time of day is
the best time to text someone knew that you met
so quickly. I met a guy in the wild, okay,
and I was like kind of overthinking what time of
day should I hit him up for the very first time? Hi,
good morning, you're on the air.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Good morning, Tiff. I'm so happy that you've met somebody
who you like. I think that's really neat and I
want you to explore it. But here's what concerns me. Okay,
I don't know if you should talk about it very much.
On the radio because that might be intimidating for him,
I know. I mean, he's probably never dated a lady
who is a broadcaster before. Do you really want to
(05:49):
share all that stuff with your viewers, with your listener?
Speaker 1 (05:54):
You know. You make such a great point and something
that I've kept mostly tight lipped about the history on
the show as far as if I meet someone new.
But I struggle, and I grapple with the balance of
it because I think you guys want to know and
you want to be a part of it. But I
have to protect, you know, my personal life very you know,
ever so slightly. So I'm with you. I don't think
(06:16):
I'll go too deep, but I always like to give
you guys a little bit so that you feel a
part of it.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
I think that's incredible and I really like that you
do that because when your mom, remember when she was
like in lockdown, I was so worried about her not
being able to get out of that town. I'm like,
oh my god, So I was like taming in. I
was like getting on the radio just to find out
if your mom was okay.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Oh I love you for that. Hey, that really strikes
a chord with me. I appreciate you. What's your name,
by the way, what neighborhoodre you in?
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Oh? This is Tammy Rings calling you from Independent Okay,
spoken to you many times. I'm understand. I love you.
I think you're.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Incredible, Tammy. Thank you, Tammy. So I'm happy. So what
do you think I want? I want your perspective? Should
I just you know, not talk about it and kind
of hold off a little bit until I go a
little bit further down the road or well?
Speaker 3 (07:09):
I think so, because how how hard would it be
for you if it wasn't a good match to then
have to come back on the radio and go, oh, well, sorry, guys,
who wasn't a very good match? But that you know
before freaking disappointed along with you. And maybe it's not
a disappointment, but I kind of say Trent softly until
you're really sure that this is your guy, and then
(07:33):
maybe you could date him long term. But and once
you get to know him, it wouldn't hurt to ask him, Hey,
do you feel comfortable with me talking about this potential
relationship on air? I don't want to screw things up
because I'm a broadcaster, you know what I mean? If
you really connect to him, and you really like him
and you feel comfortable with him, and then ask him, Hey,
is it cool with you if I talk about you.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
On their breakdehow Tammy? Maybe he's a am Mike.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
You would love that, all right, my gal.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
I appreciate you more than you know. It's good to
talk to you. Happy New Year.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Thank you, sweetheart. YouTube pleasures to you and your family.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
You're the greatest, Tammy.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
My gal, look at that. Hey, I'd like to get
your your perspective on it. You know, I can't hide
myself in my job from the world. What I do
is what I do. But five one three seven four nine,
one oh seven one we heard from Tammy. I want
to hear from you. Good morning. You're waking up with
TIF in the morning on kiss one oh seven to one.
We're just a few minutes out from the three things
(08:32):
you need to know. But I wanted to get you
this sleep hack was better sleep on your vision board
for twenty twenty five. I came, of course. When I
say I came across an article, that really means I
was watching TikTok and I came across a video. Just
give you some context to the conversation. Here if you
want to test it out. They say to sleep upside down,
(08:52):
not like a vampire. I did mention earlier in the
show that I started watching True Blood for the first time.
That show is insane. It's nutso but I'm hooked, Yeah,
kind of. You got to sleep upside down in your bed,
so where your feet go is where your head's supposed
to go. I don't know if I'm gonna try that,
but the sleep psychologist from this article said that it
(09:13):
does work because it throws off the norm for you,
and the norm is what might be actually waking you up.
We're all gonna adjust over the next week. I bet
last time we had to adjust like this was daylight saving.
I'm in the same boat. I woke up three times
last night before my morning alarm because I think I'm
just trying to get settled here, you know me twenty
twenty five. We're not overthinking it. We're not gonna stress. Okay,
(09:36):
coming up next, as promised, Three things you need to

You're waking up in the morning. Guys, my favorite thing happened.
