Drea is on the phone today for our first date follow-up and she's getting
ghosted from a date she went on with a woman named Carolina.
So we're going to see if we can help figure it out for her and maybe get her
another date if she still wants one in a second. But first, Drea,
how long has it been since you heard from Carolina?
It's been about a week now that I haven't heard from her.
Okay.
And yeah, so I'm,
I'm just really confused because we will first like we met at work
um and we've kind of been flirting like back and forth you know just kind of office
romance i guess that's fine and until it isn't like yeah exactly but um she's really pretty
she has a great sense of humor and we've actually been
having coffee like in the office break room and stuff and kind of getting to know each other so
it was we kind of knew each other before going into the date um and so i finally got up the
nerve to ask her out and i um when i've been wanting to play pickleball because I've heard there's so much hype around
it and I thought it would be fun.
Is that what you did for your date?
Yeah, we went, we played, um, we played a couple of rounds of pickleball and then we
had some drinks afterwards at the bar.
Okay.
Um, and I mean, as far as I'm concerned, the date was great.
Like the conversation was wonderful.
Like I said, she has a great personality the conversation was wonderful like I said she
has a great personality she's funny she has wonderful sense of humor um and we even shared
a little kiss oh but um yeah the next day I was excited to like get to work and see her
and she wasn't there so I texted her because I was like, oh, no, you know, I just wanted to make sure she was OK.
Maybe she was sick.
I wanted to check in on her.
And she didn't answer me back.
And so she hasn't been at work all week.
She got fired?
I don't know.
I haven't heard anything, so I don't think so.
But I've been reaching out to her and I'm actually kind of worried, I don't know if something happened or if she's really sick or if, I mean, maybe I just don't know.
I thought we had a great date.
I think, you know, now I'm just worried I did something.
Do they have like a policy about dating other coworkers at your office?
Only if you're like, you't um like supervisors can't date
hourly employees and things like that but if you're both hourly then you can then you can date
okay then it's a free-for-all
all you guys are just dating each other i love it
does she usually show up to work every day like i mean is she the type of person that just calls
out sick randomly sometimes or um no she's actually pretty good with attendance so which
is why i'm so worried that she's missed so much did anything weird happen on the date like was
there a moment where you felt like i don't know um i mean not on my end i thought everything went
went great like when we parted we parted on great terms.
And, you know, we even said, we were kind of even like,
hey, see you at work, ha ha ha, like, see you around the office.
And just kind of made a little joke out of it.
I'd be worried, too.
Yeah.
Have you asked around about her?
I asked a couple of people, but nobody really,
I mean, everybody just kind of says they haven't heard from her either.
Especially a week, I feel like,
is a good amount of time to not be in the office.
Right, like, do you know where she lives?
Just do a drive-by.
Or, I mean, just see if she's there and stop.
I don't know, it's an idea.
I did call her from a block number
to see if she would answer,
and she did answer,
but I got a little nervous and just hung up.
Oh, no.
Okay, so you know that she's answering her phone at least.
Okay, well, good.
She's alive.
Yeah, she is alive, so that's good.
I just, now it's more so I'm worried
that she's just avoiding me.
Okay.
Well, we'll see if we can figure it out.
We'll play a song, come back,
and then we'll call her
and see if she'll tell us why she's ghosting you
and maybe get you another date if you still want one, okay? Yeah, great. Thanks, guys. All right, we'll play a song, come back, and then we'll call her and see if she'll tell us why she's ghosting you and maybe get you another date if you still want one.
OK?
Yeah, great.
Thanks, guys.
All right.
We'll play a song.
Come back.
Get your first day follow up next.

But we'll do that thanks to some of my friends like Samantha Bee, Roy Wood Jr. and Charlemagne the God.
We're going to take some viewer questions as well.
I mean, isn't that what democracy is all about?

Drea is on the phone today for a first date follow-up, and she's getting ghosted by a date she went on with a co-worker named Carolina and doesn't know why.
So we're about to call Carolina and see if she'll tell us why she's ghosting and maybe get Drea another date if she still wants one. But first, Drea, why don't you catch everybody up on your date with Carolina?
Yeah, Carolina and I met at work.
We've been kind of flirting back and forth, and I finally got the nerve to ask her out.
We went, we played pickleball, we had drinks, a great conversation, and even a little kiss
at the end.
So I'm just wondering why she's not
returning my texts or calls.
And she hasn't been to work for a week.
Yeah, that's the alarming part.
Yeah.
That's where I'm worried, yeah.
Okay, I'm going to call her.
Hello?
Hi, may I speak to Carolina, please?
Yes, this is Carolina.
Carolina, how are you?
My name is Jubal and I host a radio show and it's called The Jubal Show.
Hi, Carolina.
The show's here, too.
My name's Nina.
Hi, and I'm Victoria.
There's three of us on the phone with you right now.
Hi.
Okay, sorry.
Three of you?
Okay.
What's going on?
We do a segment on our show. It called the first date follow-up that's where if you go out on a date with somebody and end up ghosting
them that person can email us to get you on the phone and ask why you're ghosting them so we got
an email about you from somebody that you dated recently okay any idea who it would be um was it
yes it was.
Drea wants to know why you're ghosting her and why you haven't been to work.
Okay.
So I'll tell you about that.
Okay, cool.
Um, I mean, if you don't mind, you're going to ask me about it. Okay.
Yeah.
That'd be great.
Sorry.
Appreciate it.
Yeah.
Okay.
Um, but you know what?
Fine.
Um, so I'm ghosting Drea.
You can tell her this because, um, you know, as we were leaving our date,
something just didn't really sit right with me.
It was a comment that she made.
She's kind of like, Oh, you know, it's going to be amazing when my ex hears about this,
she's going to lose her.
And, um, I just kind of looked at it like, Oh, so there's this one sort of competition.
Like to me, that's like,'s like you know listen i'm getting older
i don't want to be a pawn in anyone's game so i was hurt by that i thought it was really uncalled
for and um from there on out i was really uninterested she was saying that going out with
you was gonna make her ex angry yeah like basically like getting back with her like
happiness is the best revenge like that's what i took from it with her saying that so i ended up actually um i haven't been around her because i called out of work the next
day first and foremost i did not want to see drea but then it turns out universe works in mysterious
ways and i really did come down with something so i've actually been pretty sick this past week or
so um but at the same time like yeah i'm getting better but i just have no interest in being used
to make someone jealous you know what i mean yeah i get that i'm glad you're feeling better
she seems like a cool girl um i gotta protect my heart you know i i don't want to set myself
up for something and be disappointed get hurt so we work together which makes it super awkward i
just think it's probably best if we can just avoid each other at work.
I don't know how I'm going to go about that once I do return to the office,
but I'm going to have to figure that out.
You think that she didn't really like you that much?
She just wanted to make her ex jealous?
Well, that's the thing.
Like, I didn't see that coming, that she gave me no signs of that.
It was, again, just at the very end of the date she said that.
So that was when I felt let down because I thought everything went well i thought we had really good chemistry and everything
um it's just tough to find so yeah it was a lot down for sure but now i just kept trying to be
smart about this whole thing you know i mean i get that protecting yourself is is one thing but did
you ever think about calling her out and having a conversation about it maybe you know it was just
the one date so i kind of feel like, I don't know,
I hope I'm not being cowardly,
but I just kind of want to let it go,
and I really am being a ghoster here, aren't I?
But sometimes, like, it's better than to just get
into long, drawn-out conversations.
I don't know what she'll say
if I mention that comment that she made.
I don't know if it'll backfire.
Well, let's see, because she's actually on the phone and she's been listening this whole time.
And she wants to talk to you.
Oh, my God.
So, Drea, you're there right now?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm here.
Sorry.
Sorry.
It just got kind of like I just got really anxious all of a sudden.
Yeah.
No.
First of all, I am so sorry.
Like, let me apologize for making that
comment. Obviously, you don't know a lot about my past. And I didn't, it didn't come from a place of
Oh, haha, you're gonna be how I get back at my ex and everything like that. Actually, I had a
an amazing time with you. But my ex was kind of one of those who was kind of abusive and always
made me feel small. And like, I wasn't good enough for anybody. And you ex was kind of one of those who was kind of abusive and always made me feel
small. And like, I wasn't good enough for anybody. And you're just all of a sudden this amazing,
beautiful person who showed up. And it was just one of those things where it was,
it was more of like a happy, like, oh my God, wait till my ex sees this because haha, I finally
like might actually be happy for once. And it wasn't to be petty or to use you as a pawn
in a game or anything like that it was just more of like a I'm wow I finally met somebody
like really nice and that I like and you might like me back so I'm so sorry for that comment
if it hurt you okay um I would say right now like I do appreciate the apology for sure. And, you know, didn't think that's where you'd be coming from.
Not really sure if I'm interested if they gave this any further.
For me, the biggest reason why is just kind of like the whole ex talk.
I feel like this is a lot of talk about your ex.
And, like, I don't even like bringing up, like, past girlfriends or even guys I dated about nothing from the past
like early on so I feel like this is a lot coming at me does that make sense you dated guys
yes I date people for sure yeah oh yeah you didn't tell me that I so I didn't know that
so I just I don't mention you know girl I'll keep your secrets for sure
so you know that's kind of
I don't know it's a lot
yeah well you're getting on to me about like my
ex but you didn't even tell me about
your exes so it's
just kind of
it's just kind of odd to me
I wasn't really
getting on to you about your ex I think for me it was just more
about like oh that seems like some game playing there
so yeah well I just
I mean I guess like I just kind of like to be up
front about things I
you know I don't really like to keep things from
people even though early on in a relationship
you know because when you're trying to get to know somebody you're trying to get
to know somebody
yeah but like in time for
sure that is exactly what I'm trying to say
you just pretty much stated that there.
You know, I just think it takes time to get to know one.
I don't need to know everything up front.
I guess I'm just kind of different on that end.
I kind of like, you know.
Yeah, I think we're different.
Carolina, would you like to go out with Dre again on another date?
We'll pay for it.
I think I've made myself pretty clear here.
Again, I think she seems like a cool girl but i just think you know she's
i'm not the one for her uh you know early on but i can tell i can definitely tell this we're just
not a match but yeah no that's fine i mean i would still like to be friends because i think you're
really cool girls but i mean i just i'm not really interested either because you know like you want
to hide things from me so well hopefully hopefully, you know, work friends.
We'll leave it at that.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, see you at work, Carolina.
Have a good first day back after being sick.
Oh, thank you.
I appreciate it.
