"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

He was syndicated in quite a few cities, but based in Los Angeles. The station was 97.1 The FM Talk Station (then renamed to Free FM), which switched to a top 40 format, so all of the talk shows it once put out have been dropped.

I know that he was doing his show on KLSX, that's the station that carried Howard Stern for 14 yeras. I live in LA. My question is, being that he was syndicated, what happens to his show on the other cities where he's heard? Does he not do a show in LA, but continues on other stations across the country?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Since he was based in LA and the station he was based at has switched formats, he will no longer be doing shows at all. I guess this wasn't clear before. Any other place that syndicated the show will probably hear some reruns until they fill his timeslot with something else (if they didn't just yank the show immediately). No more new Leykis anywhere until we hear that another station has picked him up somewhere, but for now I'm guessing he's fine focusing on his estate and picking up a paycheck for doing nothing.
