The new country, 963.

Second, second, second, second, second date update. All right, Lucy gave us a call this morning. She's on the line with us. She went out with Troy. Normally, people had a great first date, and they call us, you know, and they never heard from them. They got ghosted. But Lucy said the situation here is a little bit different. All right. First of all, tell us him at Troy and what's going on here. Yeah, I mean, we met online.

It was pretty, pretty standard. situations here is a little bit different. All right. First of all, tell us him at Troy and what's going on here.

Yeah, I mean, we met online. It was pretty, pretty standard. So, we were supposed to meet for a drink on, like, Saturday afternoon.

And I just got caught up. I was helping my sister babysit. And time got away from me. And so I just I just had like no time to get ready at all.

I didn't, I wasn't able to go home and like change and do makeup or any of that. So I kind of showed up and I was, you know, looking not my best. I had like a baseball hat on and I didn't have

any makeup on and she didn't look cute let's say that um and yeah I could

just tell that he was like noticing it and wasn't really into it and uh wasn't into my appearance let's

say you could just feel that you see it yeah like he just was acting kind of like I don, as soon as I got there, I just felt like he was acting kind of weird. You met online, so I assume you had texted or chatted before. Did it seem like he was excited about the date before? Yeah, definitely. But like you said, you just lost track of time. Yeah, I mean, yeah, and I looked like gross, and that was, like, you know. And do you think that's the reason, like he hasn't called you back since, just because, like you said, you just had to show up for the date at the last minute? Yeah, it looks like I didn't get ready. I didn't, even if, like, that is on me, but I just feel like he, yeah, he just wasn't into it. Okay. And you'd like to go out with him again and get kind of a redo, a reset? Yeah, I want like to come and feel like my best. And yeah, just like go for it again. Okay. Well, let's give Troy call and see if we can help you out here, okay? Okay. Hey there.

He's agreed to come on the air with this. So Troy, do you remember going out with Lucy?

Yeah, I do.

Well, she gave us a call since you guys went on a date, and she said she hadn't heard from you since that date.

She was kind of hoping maybe to get a reset and chat with you and see about maybe going out a second time.

You know, I just, I don't really feel like we were a good match.

I mean, we weren't on the same wave wave at all, in my opinion. She did tell us she didn't have time to really get ready. Did it have anything to do, and I hate to ask, with her appearance? I mean, you know, she just, she didn't feel like she wanted to be there. She didn't put any effort at all into it, in my opinion.

Like, that's kind of how it sells.
