Online at Advocateslaw.com. Tatiana is on the phone. today for a first day follow-up and she's getting ghosted by a dude named Drew, so in a few minutes we'll call him and see if he'll tell us why he's ghosting her and maybe get her a second date if she wants one. But first, Tatiana, let's talk about the date. How long has it been since you heard from Drew? It's been almost two weeks and I've texted a few times already, so I'm a little bit, I can't really believe the authenticity is that. That just like doesn't happen

to me, so I'm a little frustrated to say the least. Oh no, that is frustrating. Okay. Well, why don't you tell us about the date then? I felt the date went so well. I think that like, I think Drew is like sort of exactly my type where

he's kind of like a corporate vibe, but I also feel like he was not like too uptight, he had a lot of swag. He was like wearing this really fancy watch, which I love. I love a man in a lot. It, like, looks really expensive. He smelled expensive. I was, like, I was all about it.

Okay. We went to one of those, like, elevated adult playgrounds. I don't know if you guys are just talking about, but, like, I think those can be, like, kind of cheesy, but I feel like this one was, like, really nice. And, like, adult playground, no, I haven't heard of that. That's cool. No, they're awesome. I mean, I've seen pictures or, like, pop-ups and stuff. Fun.

Yes. And, like, this one actually had, like, a really beautiful bar with, like, really good lighting. I feel like lighting is huge for our first date. There was bowling and, like, arcade games and mini golf and, you know, they had, like, really cute snacks and, like, fancy cheese for the soft pretzels and stuff like that. Cool. And I felt, like, yeah, I felt like the vibes of the date were, like, really fun, like, flirt, like, really competitive, but, like, in a flirty, fun way, you know? And, like, I thought it was all going, like, so well. So, yeah, I mean, I think I know what caused the ghosting, but I just, I really want to get confirmation.

When we were on the date, the bill came, and I noticed that like an extra round of shots had been charged for us, but he had already paid and he was like, oh, it's no big deal. Like, I'll just pay, I'll just pay. But like, for me, I'm just like, no, you cannot pay for something we did not order. Like that for me, it was like the principal kicks in. Sure. And I was like, you know, it's not about the money. It's about the principal. He was like, it's fine, it's fine.

And I called the server over and I got the charge removed and it got us a free round of bowling, which I was like, okay, nice, you know. But then I feel like we ended on a really good note and we hugged and there was no red flags to me. And I was like so excited for a second date and then like fully ghosted. So I guess I just, I don't know. It's just, it's the whole thing super confusing and sad. Tatiana, why don't you remind us about your date with Drew real quick? Drew and I went to this like elevated adult playground where we played lots of games.

I thought we had an amazing time. We were like really flirty and competitive with each other in like a really fun way. The bill came at the end and there was like an extra charge and I got him, uh, his money back and like a free round of bowling. But he was kind of weird about that. So I'm wondering if that's why he's ghosting me. Anyway, it's been two weeks. I thought the date was amazing. I'm curious, like, what happened.

Okay. Well, are you ready to call him? Let's do it. Okay, here we go. Hello? Hi, man. Speak to Drew, please. Yeah, this is Jim.

Hey, Drew, how are you? This is the radio show. It's called The Jubal Show. Hi, Drew. I'm Nina. Hi, I'm Victoria. And my name is Jubal. What's up?

Whoa. Hey, I'm sorry. This is, uh, hi, everybody. Is the radio? Yes. Yeah. Have you ever listened to the Jubal show before? No, I've never listened, but I think I've heard of you guys.

Okay, sweet. Well, check it out sometime. But right now, we do a segment on the show that's called the First Date Followup. That's where if you go out on a date with somebody and you ghost them, that person can email us to get you on the phone and ask why you're ghosting them. And we got an email about you from somebody. Okay. You have any idea who would email us and wonder why you're ghosting them?

them? Is it Tatiana? It is. Congratulations. You got it correct. Would you mind telling us why you're ghosting her if she told us about your date? Liked you a lot. Yeah, no, no, no.

I mean, I liked her a lot as well. I really did. I get to see the, I guess the attraction is mutual. We had a really good time. We had a really good time of the date. We went out to one of these adult playground things where there's like Bony Alley. and, you know, games for adults and stuff like that and drinking and a nice bar and all that stuff.

We were playing games all night, but the thing that kind of got me about, I think that kind of made me feel weird was that she cheated at like everything. What do you mean? Like, actually? I mean, like, no, I mean, like, all of it, like, the games. Like, she was cheating. Okay, so we play mini golf. And while we're playing, she's nudging the ball with her foot and she's leaning on, like,

we're playing an arcade game. She's leaning on the machine. I started playing and she's trying to distract me so I don't do it's good. We played one of those claw machine games. Uh-huh. And those things, you guys know, those things suck. They're horrible.

And I can't really win at them. Yeah. And I go to the bathroom, I come back, and she has a stuffed animal. I never see how she gets it. It's just in her arms. And I know she's got like a red mark on her shoulder. I'm like, did you reach into the machine? No.

That's hard to do. I've tried. it's very hard to do but I mean I saw her the whole time so I was like she's probably good at that too

did she do it did she reach into the machine to get one well I don't know I mean but the way it was set up you were not pulling the stuffed animal out of it

there's no way and after like to cheat on night I was like all right okay this is maybe this is who you are

I don't know she's the girl that sticks her hand in to get what she wants yeah and honestly as red as her shoulder was I mean, you can tell.

I'm pretty sure she stole it. Okay, so you don't want to go out with her again because you think that she stole a stuffed animal from the machine. Well, it's not that. It was the constant cheating. I'm just like, if that's how you are here when we're playing games, how do I know she's not going to cheat on me if that's how she operates? Starts with ski ball and then it's all downhill, I guess.

Thank you for telling us why you're ghosting her. And now, Drew, I'll let you know she's on the phone and wants to talk to you. Wait, I'm sorry. She's on the line. She's here? Yep. She's here listening. Hi, Drew.

Hey. Hi. How's going? I'm sorry. My jaw is like on the floor. Like you're mad that I won at the game? No, I'm not. No, okay.

Well, let's be clear. I'm not mad. You didn't win. You manipulated a system by cheating. I did not manipulate. I played smart. That's what you do at those places. you play smart.

There's a difference between playing smart and stealing a stuffed animal. That's what you did. Oh my God. Oh my God. You were obsessing about this stuff. I won that stuffed animal, okay? I saw your arm.

You didn't see. You were in the back on your arm. Yeah, but when I came back the security guard kept them looking at us. The security guard kept them looking at us and falling his arm. I mean, okay, here's the whole thing. Here's the whole thing. If I see you doing this now,

let's say I started picturing our life together, right? Okay? So like if we're at a restaurant and suddenly you're yelling because there's hair in your food, you know. Okay, if there's a piece of hair

if there's hair in my food, I'm sending the food back. Drew, that's like, in this scenario, you put your hair in the food to get it for free. Oh. I don't like, is that your hair? You really spiral, you're like, oh my hair.

out. What are you? Oh, my God. I imagine if you and me went on a cruise, right? Let's say we're wrong. First of all, I would never be on a cruise. Oh, red flag number two. You're not going to go on a cruise with me now. How did we get here? If we're on the cruise, I could see rigging the shuffleboard tournament to get a free buffet voucher or something like that. You know? Okay, Drew? If I get overcharged. I'm getting my money back. That's plain and simple. Honestly, okay, Drew, Drew, Drew, Drew, just stay with me for one second.

I feel like what you're telling me is that you have, in fact, like, pictured our life together, which tells me that there is something here, okay? And. Well, yeah, I have. I have. In my version of our life together, you're playing a shuffleboard and cheating against some poor old lady. She got there to spend a retirement fund on the gym. True.

No? Cheating it stuff. Drew. Okay. I'm sorry, but I feel like you, I have to say, I feel like you can't stop thinking about me. Okay? And like, I, I want you to listen to me when I say, like, I was having a lot of fun, but I also, like, I will, I will let you be the man. What?

What? Like, like, I, I, okay, I'm sorry. I thought we were having fun, but I like, I know how to relax. I will, you know, I'm really agreeable. I'm one of those girls, like, I will wear whatever you want. I will, like, do whatever you want, like, whatever you want the plan to be, I will do. I really don't care about winning that much. I just want you to be a old lady.

I just want, I just want us to like have, I just thought there was a lot of chemistry and I really, like, want to see you again. And I think you want to see me again, too. Drew, would you like to go out with Tatiana again? We'll pay for it. The chemistry was there. You know, I mean, I have been thinking about her a lot, and I do want to see her again. But you know what?

I mean, she's, Tatiana, you're a little intense, and I have some strong questions about your morals. But I like that you're being honest. I like what you're saying. I like that you do have been thinking about me. I haven't thinking about you, too. and I think that as long as you're okay with it, I think we can work at a fair system that's fair.

I did not see it going this way. So are you saying you'll go out with her again? Well, I mean, she's showing you that she's not always like at a hundred. So, I mean, I think that yes, because I have been thinking about her a lot. Well, okay, congratulations, Tatiana. You got another date. We get it. Thank you.

Okay, that's what I thought. Thank you. God. Jubil's first date follow-up. In the middle of the night, Saskia awoke in a haze. Her husband, Mike, was on his laptop.
