Krista is on the phone today for a first day follow-up, and she's getting ghosted by a guy named Charlie. So in a few minutes, we're going to call him and see if I'll tell us why he's ghosting her and maybe get her a second date. But first, Krista, how long has it been? since you heard from Charlie?

Hi, yeah, it's been about six days, six days, texted twice. Did you guys, like, how did you leave the date? Did you have a plan to see each other again? I thought that we would. I guess it seemed like there was, yeah, potential for a call. I thought that it ended as well. But then again, I don't know, maybe there was, I made, this, well, I kind of made a mess at the event that we...

What do you mean by that? Okay, so, like, so we met at this, it was actually really cool. There was this rooftop astronomy event thing. Like, there were, like, all these telescopes, and there was, like, live jazz, and it was... Oh, wow. Yeah, no, it was amazing, and there were, like, cocktails and teacups in teapots, and we were, like, cocktails out of teacups. It was really cute.

That's really cute. Super cute. I am not the most graceful person, and I accidentally, I was, like, looking through this telescope, and I just accidentally knocked over this tray of the tea cups, and it landed. So there was this just broader guy there, and it's basically I spilled, like, a bunch of cocktails over this, like, really fancy star chart that's this, like, oh, man. Like, really coveted.

Yeah. And everyone saw and everyone gasped and it was really not cute. But, um, but actually, like, it's funny because Charlie was, like, really sweet about it and, like, blast about it and helped me clean it up with, you know, these, like, meager, like, cocktail napkins. It was, so I, I mean, I think, you know, that was not. great, but I still thought that, you know, we had

like a new home and I thought that things were going well. I'm glad he helped you clean up because what was he supposed to do? It would be like, oh, I'm not with her. In just the house. Exactly. That is pretty embarrassing, though. I'm sorry that happened to you. Yes, me too.

But it's like, yeah, not the first time, not the last. Sure, okay. Did the date continue past the rooftop or was that the spot? yeah no we we like talked after that super embarrassing incident and like I don't know we we had a Uber home we like talked about music and I just I thought there was a spark I mean I know I need a mess but like I was really nervous and I'm like I said I'm kind of a clumsy person so I don't know I just I think that I really hope he gives me another chance well how did he seem

afterwards, like in the Uber and stuff. Was he being different with you? No, we were, like, having, like, cute conversation. And, yeah, it felt very neat, cute. Okay. All right, well, we'll try to figure it out for you. We'll play a song. Come back and then call him and see if he'll tell us

why he's ghosting you and maybe get you a second date, okay? All right. All right. We'll get your first day follow up next. Culture eats strategy for breakfast.

But before we do that, Krista, why don't you break down your situation for us again real quick?

Yeah, so I met Charlie at this astronomy event with, like, telescopes and all this stuff. And while we were there, I, like, filled a bunch of drinks over this, like, star chart, and maybe that was the reason. But, like, I don't know, we just, like, clicked even after that and took an Uber home and, like, chatted. Did the Star Tart ruin the event? I hope not. I mean, I'm just curious. I know that the guy who was like running it was really upset. Oh.

Yeah, no, it was definitely like not the thing to do. All right. Well, we'll see if that is the reason. Are you ready for us to call him? Yeah. All right. Let's do this. Okay.

Hello? Hi, may I speak to Charlie, please? This is Charlie. Hey, Charlie, how are you? This is a radio show. It's called The Jubal Show. Hi, Charlie. I'm Nina.

Hi, I'm Victoria. And my name's Jubal. What's up? Oh, really? How are you? Yeah. I'm pretty good. Why is the radio show calling me?

We're calling you because we do a segment on the show called the first date follow-up. That's where if you go out on a date with somebody and they end up ghosting you, that person can email up. us to get you on the phone and ask why you're ghosting them. So we got an email about you from somebody, Charlie. Did you know who it is? Or do you think you know who it is? I mean, I mean, I've got a pretty good idea right now. Really? Who do you think it is?

Would it happen to be Krista by chance? Yes, it is Krista. I was feeling like, yay. You got it right. You won nothing, I guess. But yes, it is Krista. Do you mind telling us why you're ghosting Krista? So she's really curious.

She said she liked you a lot, but can't figure it out. I feel like this sounds like I'm weird without the context, but she's just me and an Uber. And I just don't want any part of that. What? I have to explain. Okay. We were taking an Uber and she just starts just casually singing every lyric to this early 2000s boy band song. And let's say it's saying, I mean like every single line.

She's doing the core redress number and everything. and, you know, whatever. I like my stuff. She likes her stuff. That's cool. But in the middle of it, I try asking her a question, and she just aggressively, just, like, and I'm just, I'm not trying to date someone who's just comfortable disrespect me

with this, like, a violent, you know? Okay, see if I felt disrespectful with the shish. There's a very disrespectful, you know. Yeah, I guess that's true. There are different ways you can shish somebody. Yeah. And there's a disrespectful. way for sure. Yeah, this was full, you know, finger up in the face, spit coming out of the mouth

when she, so it just wasn't a good look. So that's, that's it, though. Other than that, it was good? I mean, before, yeah, but, you know, I'm sure a lot of good things happen before terrible things happen, and you don't just look back on the good things and try to record the bad, so, you know, life is short and I'm not going to tolerate that sort of thing. Yeah, okay. Before you know you could be married for years. And then you think back, like, man, if I would have just paid attention to that shush. Yeah, I haven't spoken in 15 years. Yeah.

Yeah. They're lingering shush. Hey, I'm walking proof. Don't let that happen to yourself. I get it. Well, Charlie, thank you for being honest with us. Krista is actually on the phone and wants to talk to you. Wait, she's here?

You mean she actually let me talk without shush and me? Yeah, I guess. See if she continues. What? Oh my God, it wasn't that bad. Yes, hi. I'm here. Surprise. Yeah. Hi, Krista. Like, for real. So, like, how are you going to ghost me over singing a song? I was just into it. Do you not like music? Like, what? Oh, no, no. I like music. It's just, you're really downplaying it. You're saying you were just singing. You were just full-on choreography dance number like we were in a music video.

And look, I thought it was kind of cute, but you shushed me like your library. on steroids or something and again you just turn into a different person and like I said it was disrespectful it was by bye bye like honestly dude who tries to chat during an instinct classic you know what I mean do you have like librarian issues

or like what's the deal well it made me want to say bye bye bye to you okay it was really disrespectful it had been it had to be quiet peasant energy to it it. And look, I just haven't been a shit that way since third grade story time. So maybe I do have some trauma that you're unlocking. I think you do. Oh, my God. It was really meant to be a fun shush. Like, I really, it's like, you're acting like I threw something at you. Like,

I, it was like a sarcastic shush. It was a power shush. It felt like you were establishing dominance. Like you were trying to be the alpha or something. For me, it was playful. well for me it wasn't and I think you were staring the driver too and also can I just remind you I was literally trying to ask you a question when you did this and it was literally me trying to say hey I think our driver missed the turn and you cut me off with a spitty shush and honestly like even the driver but he gave me a look as if to be like I don't have an HR department

but if I did I'd be calling them right now that is like show dramatic. It was a polite shush, okay? I just, and also, by the way, the driver was definitely vibing with me. He knew every word, too. It was a whole thing. I was setting a fun show

at least I was trying to. Yeah, he knew every word because he was trying to appease you. He was scared. He was hoping, oh, maybe if I sing along this crazy durable stop my windshield and make it so that I have to crash the car because I can't see anything through it through this glob of

saliva all over once in. Well, Charlie, would you like to go on another day with Krista? We'll pay for it. Look, I don't like being disrespected. Nobody does. And throughout all of this, I just heard a bunch of excuses. I haven't heard any apologies or even any reasons why I should give you another chance. So, tell you what, if you can give me a reason and I'll let you speak without shushing you because I'm respectful, then maybe. But if not, then I'm out. Okay. All right. I'm Charlie. I'm very sorry for the power of shush. I got lost in the moment with in sync.

The beat took over me. Here is why you should definitely take me out again. Okay. I bake really good cookies, like can't stop eating them, cookies. I'm really silly, obviously. And yes, I do sometimes freak out and just spontaneous fan spray. that's kind of my love language. I have awesome relationships with both of my parents,

so I don't have any family drama, and I volunteer at a rescue on weekends. So, you know, if you have a pop, then we're basically soulmates. Charlie? I'm not going to lie, that was pretty good. You know, fresh cookies. Honestly, I might need to see a therapist,

so whatever happened to me in third grade, but apology accepted. Look, I'm the condition, no more weaponized session. Otherwise, then I will be saying bye, bye, bye. So, second date, it is. Hey! Hey! Congratulations.
