No such thing. First day of follow up. Powered by the Advocates Injury Attorneys. Online at Advocateslaw.com. Emma is on the phone today for a first day follow up, and she's getting ghosted by a dude named Kyle. 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 another date.

But first, Emma, how long has it been since you heard from Kyle? Um, gosh, I want to say it's been about like three weeks, three or four weeks. Oh. Oh. And it's been that long? Why do you want to get a hold of him? Okay. I mean, if I can be totally honest, it's because I know it's kind of cheesy to say because

it was just one date, but I really felt like there was a connection. Like, I really feel like there was something there. Um, yeah. I mean, the date went so well. And, you know, we did like a whole escape room thing, which I thought would be pretty fun. That's fun. Yeah. I mean, I love solving puzzles and, uh, you know, it, it seemed like we were both really working well together. You know, I was kind of the brains. He was kind of like the muscle moving stuff around helping us, you know, tall clues. And it just felt like, I don't know. It almost didn't even feel like it was a first date. We, you know, even let so much time pass that it was like past dinner time and we hadn't

ate anything yet. So then we decided to like stop and get something to eat. It was so casual. I am, I'm very much a person who kind of overthinks on the first date and I get very nervous usually, but I didn't feel anything like that with Kyle. I feel like he was also kind of feeling the vibe too and the way he was looking at me and talking to me and telling me things. Yeah, I just, I felt so safe and comfortable. And it's always so hard to know that you feel that way and it's kind of like, it's impossible

that the other person didn't feel something, right? Like, don't you always feel that way? Exactly, yeah. What could have been the reason why he's disappeared now if it was that intense? I've really been trying to pin this down and I, I mean, I'm not totally sure, but the only thing that I can kind of think of is that I can sometimes get a little bit into the games. Like, I do get competitive to a certain point, but I did tell him this in advance.

Okay. And I tried to kind of just brush it off in more of like a flirtatious way. Like, there was one puzzle that he just wasn't getting. Like, it was, you know, like a word, clue thing. and it was so obvious to me, and he just wasn't getting it. And I just joked with him. I was like, well, you're lucky you're so pretty, you know, like. And you got offended by that?

You called him dumb? Well, okay, I didn't say that, but, and it's my own fault. Like, I know I probably could have done better about that, but that's the only thing that I can think of. Okay, well, how did it end with him? Um, I mean, I thought it ended so. well we didn't like fully confirm going on a second day but we both said the whole like oh you know like I had a great time I'd like to do it again sometime and we both

said that at the end and we exchanged you know like we still had you know our phone numbers and stuff and then I tried to text him the next day and I didn't hear anything and then I tried again you know a couple days later and then nothing and I did try again and, you know, a few more times, but I haven't, yeah. I will say, if there's one thing I normally hear on all these, it's that after every single time they go on a first date, everyone says like, oh, March, like, we should do this again sometime. We're like, yeah.

It's polite. I think it's honestly just a polite thing people say, because I've said it before knowing that I was like, eh. So I don't know, it sucks because you, like, you thought it was a really great date, and you in your head is like, oh, he wants to go see me again. but at the same time, he could just be doing it to be polite. Well, that's heartbreaking.

That's what sad. I know. That's like soul crusher. Emma, we'll see if we can 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 to another date, okay? All right. I appreciate it, guys. Victoria was a job.

First day follow up. December 29th, 1975. The holiday rush, parents hauling luggage, kids gripping their new Christmas toys. Then, at 6.33 p.m., everything changed. There's been a bombing at the TWA terminal. Apparently the explosion actually impelled metal glass. The injured were being loaded into ambulances, just a chaotic, chaotic scene. In its wake, a new kind of air.

enemy emerged, and it was here to stay. Terrorism. Law and order criminal justice system is back. In season two, we're turning our focus to a threat that hides in plain sight. That's harder to predict and even harder to stop. Listen to the new season of Law and Order Criminal Justice System on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. My boyfriend's professor is way too friendly, and now I'm seriously suspicious. Oh, wait a minute, Sam. Maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra credit. Well, Dakota, it's back to school week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon.

This person writes, my boyfriend has been hanging out with his young professor a lot. He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her. Now, he's insisting we get to know each other, but I just want her gone. Now, hold up. Isn't that against school policy? That sounds totally inappropriate. Well, according to this person, this is her boyfriend's former professor, and they're the same age. And it's even more likely that they're cheating.

He insists there's nothing between them. I mean, do you believe him? Well, he's certainly trying to get this person to believe him because he now wants them both to meet. So, do we find out if this person's boyfriend really cheated with his professor or not? To hear the explosive finale, listen to the OK Storytime podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Hey, everybody, I'm Angela Rye, co-host of Native Lambot with Tiffany Cross and Andrew Gillum.

through the lens of politics and culture, we talk with you every week to make sense of this madness. I've been telling, Angela, I don't even know how to fight back right now, so what I'm focused on is just looking out for ourselves. That's the truth. We're having the same debates that American households are having all over the country. Rest is certainly a form of self-care. But if you are watching your full neighbors, starve, not be able to pay bills,

your rest is selfish. But the thing is, Angela, this is not the mess we create. So I do understand black folks feeling like, you know what, y'all got it. We're like family, but we disagree all the time and we love when our listeners chime in. What would happen if we built our own little Wakandan communities in the rural South? Tiffany, do not run to know rural South. I don't know what's your own. What our audience is asking is, okay, fine, you want me to stop resting. What specifically are you asking me to do? Stay informed and take action.

Listen to Nativeland Pod on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Welcome home, yeah. Right in the middle of today's first day, follow up. And if you're just joining us, Emma is on the phone, and she's getting ghosted by Kyle. So we're about to call him and see if he'll tell us why he's ghosting her and maybe get her another date. But first, Emma, why don't you break down your date for us a more time? Yeah, Kyle and I went out a few weeks ago. We had a great first date.

We did an escape room. I had, you know, dinner afterwards. It felt like we were both on the same page. We were vibing. We were laughing. We were having fun. And we both said that we were wanting to see each other again. But then I never heard back from him.

All right. Well, you did kind of imply that he wasn't the smartest cook in the room. So. Yeah, there was that. All right. Well, are you ready for us to see if we can figure it out? Yeah, I'm ready. Okay.

Hey, it's Kyle. Kyle, how are you? This is a radio show. It's called The Jubal Show. Hi, Kyle. My name is Nina. Hi, and I'm Victoria. And I'm Jubal.

How's it going? Hey, guys. It's going. It's going pretty good. How's it going, guys? Good. Thank you for asking. Have you ever listened to the show before?

Yeah, a little bit. Well, we do a segment on the show called The Fire. first eight follow-up. I swear if you go out on a date with somebody and you ghost them, they can email us to call you and figure out why you're ghosting them. So we got an email about you from somebody, Kyle. That's why we're calling. Uh-huh.

Yeah. Yeah, for sure. I think I've, uh, I think I've been familiar with it. Uh, let me guess, uh, he's been texting me a ton. Uh, no surprises on this. Is it, Emma? Yes, it is Emma. Do you have time to tell us why you're ghosting her?

Uh, uh, uh, Um, yeah, I guess, uh, look, I mean, look, I mean, I don't know, I mean, the day was really fun. I thought it was, I thought it was a good time. I mean, she was really, she's really gorgeous. And I mean, I think she means well. I'm just kind of, uh, I don't know, I'm bummed because, I mean, I was pretty attracted to her. I was like, really feeling something with her. And, uh, it turns out, uh, I don't know, I'll get, she's kind of crazy, but she's like a, he's a pretty specific kind of girl. And it just kind of rubs me the wrong way, sort of, right? So, right? So after our day, She sends me a Venmo request for half of our Uber ride.

People that send like Venmo requests without like a heads up, that's like a different kind of passive aggressive. And this is for an Uber ride that was like $25. So like I paid it and I just kind of checked out with her. I don't know. Wait, wait a minute. Sorry. That's the reason why you ghosted me.

Hey, Kyle, that's Emma. She's on the phone and wants to talk to you, by the way. Yeah, I'm sorry. I had to jump in. Like, it was, you're, you're, you ghosted me over $12.50. Did you send him in Morales? I mean, I did. It's like, yo, I didn't, I didn't, sorry.

I didn't, I didn't really, I didn't really like a big thing or anything like that. Yeah, it just, it just, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's a big thing. Like, it's, it's a $25 ride. Like, I was I just supposed to just not like, just deal with it? Like, it was a. date. I feel like that's just a very common expectancy to like split things. Did you guys split everything else on the date? Yeah. My thing is this is my thing though. So to me this has like nothing to do with like the money. Like I don't care about this

splitting the money the fees the $25 that. I don't even care about that. To me is like this is a communication thing. You kind of know what I mean by that. So it's like we hadn't even had our first post first date conversation before you're like sending me these Venmo requests without like hitting me up about like or even just text to me or even just like talking to me it felt like I don't know that could be like our future right is just passive aggressive comment actions stuff like that I really I can't really handle that I'm kind of good I'm an adult and I appreciate straightforward communication just to be honest about it so would you have rathered her text you and be like hey do you mind if I send you a Venmo request for the Uber ride

like would that have solved the issue for you? I don't know because like I would have rather heard I guess in my head I kind of want her to have just dropped it at least until we're having like regular conversations for a little while and then it's like

hey you want to send me some money for that Uber right. But you just said that the money, you just said the money wasn't an issue but now you're saying it is an issue because I mean I pay for my food and, like, everything. All I did was sent a request.

I didn't demand it from you. I was, and you could have just texted me and said, hey, what's up with the Venmo request? You didn't respond to me at all. How is that an adult, mature thing? I mean, even if you would have demanded it from me, that would have been more straightforward communication. So I feel like I would have preferred that even over.

Like, I just don't like the passive aggressive Venmo thing, dude. Like, this is, it's like a type of person that communicates and operates through the Venmo transactions like that and it's not me. I'm just not into it. It's a turnoff. Emma, do you think you're a passive-aggressive person in general? No, no, I'm definitely not. I don't know what kind

of specific person you're like looking for in terms of wanting something like that, but you could have also just communicated that that was an issue. Like you're boasting about being a mature adult and communication is

important to you, but you did the exact opposite. of what you just said. So I'm looking for somebody who can actually follow through with their own principles. I just need to send a memo request like to someone after a day all out of the blue.

I just think it's kind of weird. In this economy, how is that weird? If you need the money or whatever, I guess I get that or whatever, but for me it's a turn off. I'm sorry about it. It just is what it is. You said that you would have rather

her bring it up later, but I feel like it would have been more awkward if she would have brought it up later randomly. well okay how about we try this right like why don't you tell me how much your time was worth for the date and i'll reimburse you for it oh wow no you know i don't know it's not about money you know i just i mean if you want to pay me like you know give me 150 bucks but to be honest i don't think you can even afford that oh okay all right i'm a venue of

use 300 right now. Just to show you I can afford it. What? Hey, Kyle, would you like to go on another date with Emma? We'll pay for it. I'm thinking about it. I think I'm good, though, fam. I think we're good.

Emma, you didn't get a second date, but hey, you got 300 bucks. That's a win in my book. Jubel's first date follow-up. December 29th, 1975, LaGuardia Airport.
