It's the second date update. A mojo in the morning.

We're going to find out why you're not getting a call back after you went out on a date. Why are you being ghosted? Kenny is getting ghosted this morning. Kenny, where did you guys meet? We met at the Tin Roof. Oh, okay. So you guys went out, just hung out with each other, or did you have other people that you were out with?

Yeah, they were like mutual friends, and we were hanging out at the bar, and then we were getting drinks, and then we kind of broke off, and we were walking around the city and just talking. Yeah, I know she was laughing at my jokes, and I thought we were getting along really well. Yeah, this whole thing is just weird. I heard from her since.

The date ended with you guys saying, hey, we're going to go out again?

Yeah, and we kissed. So I was like, okay, that's a really good sign.

Okay.

And I really thought we had a great time.

But you have not heard from her since that night, and you're wondering what's going on. We're going to find out what's happening. Alina is on with us right now. Hey, Alina, will you say hi to Kenny?

Hi. How are you doing? I'm okay. How are you?

good just kind of you know i know this is a little awkward just wondering you know what happened

uh well um do you want us to help you here alina how are you doing alina you doing good i'm fine this is just weird but yes okay so you guys so explain this to me alina so you were there with friends kenny was there with friends did your friend did you guys all know each other or Or was it just you guys were hanging out at the bar?

Well, so we were hanging at the bar. But, like, I told my friends about him. And my friends, like, knew of him and said that he's a player and he talks to, like, every girl. And, like, he was a big player.

Wait, is that true, Kenny?

He's not going to admit that.

I guess I used to be a player when I was younger, but I'm trying to settle down now. That's not the person I am now.

Who is this friend? How did she know? Did she know him in real life, or is this hearsay? She said friends, like plural. I mean, did they date him?

None of them have dated him, but they knew people who have dated him. So he's famous, I guess.

In the friend community. You are a world-renowned guy, Ken.

That's hard because you want to formulate your own opinion about somebody, especially after you have a great date. However, I know how I would feel about that. Like, that would mess with my head right off the bat, and I think I'd be doing the same thing. I don't know.

Say, for example, in your situation, because you've made it known that Wes has had a pass. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, Wes won't tell me his number. Wes was 100 million percent a player. But he's not there anymore. Right.

And you gave him an opportunity.

Yeah, I mean, yeah.

I feel like this is the same situation. He said he was a player back in the day. Doesn't mean he should have to pay for his previous sins.

What is his definition of back in the day? Like, a year ago? If all of her friends are coming forward to say, oh, yeah, we know this guy.

What did they say, Alina, specifically about Kenny?

he just like he just like you know hooks up and you know tries to get with like a ton of girls and like I don't want to I just don't want to be another

number another girl for this guy and like all right 844 mojo live 844-665-6548 i want to just ask this question should you go off of what others say about somebody when you're going out or are their references tainted because it sounds to me like the night you guys had was great was it am i right in saying that like going off of nobody said anything to you would you be out with

him on another date yeah probably okay the problem here is it's not one reference it's multiple and that's where it puts the pressure on of um maybe there's some truth to this but also are they

dealing with it because they heard rumors sure because i think that that's the problem sometimes too is that i think that sometimes people will talk crap about somebody and and it's a game of Telephone. It's like wildfire. And also, can he admit it? Back in his past, I mean, can a guy change? I mean, that's something I think that you have to understand, too. I don't think everybody is the same person that they are today that they were yesterday. Let me take some calls here. Let me see what Kelly thinks. Kelly, what are your thoughts on this? Hi.

So, I have actually been with a guy for 10 years, and one of my friends said the same thing about him before we started dating.

Oh, boy. And why did you?

kind of warned me about him she was like well i hear he gets around he does this he does that and i said well first of all how do you know i'm not wanting the same thing oh okay i said but i said but i wanted to have my own opinion of him i didn't want to take anybody else's opinion so i just kind of took it with a grain of salt and i was like okay let me just have that as a guard

and we've been together for 10 years okay thank god you didn't go off of that opinion

Yeah, I didn't because he was somebody completely different than what she was telling me about anyways. And I come to find out she actually had a crush on him.

So you never know how to do the same thing. I mean, that's something. I don't know, Alina, if you vetted these friends of yours to figure out if these friends of yours have good intentions in mind when it comes to your relationship life. Lauren, what are your thoughts? Hi, it's Mojo in the Morning.

Hi. So I just wanted to say that I used to be a player myself. And I feel like I agree 100% with what you guys are saying of where, you know, your past can't be used for current judgment. So if you are, you know, like if someone is interested in you, then they should take the experience that's happening in the present and base their feelings off of that. and a lot everyone has an opinion everyone has something to say but it's up to you to decide if you want to go off your own opinion or if you want to listen to what others are feeding into you

you know what changed your your ways what changed you to become uh not a player um well for one it

was really tiring trying to keep up with having multiple like entertaining multiple people and i I did meet somebody who I've been with now for three years. We're having a baby together. Congratulations. That's nice. Yeah, and it just was a good, like, having a connection with somebody, and that made me change. Like, I didn't want to be out and doing whatever, having meaningless affairs with people. Like, I wanted something that was more, you know.

Good for you. Well, congratulations on that, and congratulations on the baby. What's up, Jennifer? Hi.

Hello.

Hello.

I just wanted to see that if this was her and his friends were saying that she's a hoe and she slept around with a lot of guys, you know, he would feel the same way.

Maybe not. But I will say this to you. Well, that's true. Maybe he might be interested in that. But I also will say this to you. I think there is a double standard to giving this guy the bad reputation off of this friend circle thing. If this was a girl and he came on the air with us and said, hey, I heard that she's kind of a hoe or whatever the deal is, like you said, I think that our listeners like you would be more defensive towards, hey, you can't, you know, talk about that about a girl. I think it's easier to call a guy a hoe than it is to call a woman a hoe and get away with it on just other people's comments.

Right.

I mean, I feel bad for you, Kenny. I do feel bad about this whole thing because at what point do you get to change your reputation? You know, you get to get a chance. I think what you guys did was commendable, and the fact that you guys weren't meeting on an app somewhere. You guys actually went out and had conversation with each other and hung out with each other at a bar.

Exactly. And it's not like we hooked up. If I was a player, don't you think I would have tried to do that? You know, it was just a nice night.

Well, that's interesting. Come on, man. Preach. All right. Give him a chance, man. Maybe he's different. Prove your friend.

wrong. Think about it, Alina, all right?

Mm-hmm.
