Jordan is on the phone today for our first date follow-up, and she's getting ghosted by a dude named Drew. So in a few minutes, we'll call him and see if you'll tell us why he's ghosting her and maybe get her a second date. But first, Jordan, how long has it been since you heard from Drew? It's been about two weeks now.

okay how many times have you tried to hit him up in that time um just twice once uh like really soon after our date and then once again i want to say like three days ago okay and nothing he just left you on red yeah just nothing okay well let's talk about the date let's go back and try to figure it out i know i'm sorry this is the worst no thank you for doing this um so we met on Hinge, right? And he messaged me first, which is already a win in my book. And he saw my photos in Thailand and said something about White Lotus, which full disclosure, I did not know what that was, but I was just playing along and making plans to get drinks. And he suggested the sports bar because there was a vibe there, which honestly wasn't my favorite, but I went with

because he's really cute and, you know, fun. And so, yeah, we were just, we had this great talk, and he's really ambitious. He told me about how he wants to launch his own streetwear brand, and he and he gave a couple of friends, yeah. And then someone sent shots over, which, honestly, I don't, I don't usually do shots, but, like, again, he's really cute. I'm having fun. Wait, back up really quick.

He introduced you to some of his friends. Yeah, I guess this is a bar that they kind of frequent, so a couple of them just happened. But I thought that was, you know, like, it's not like he was like, oh, my friends, we have to go. You know, he introduced me. So that was nice. Okay. And then after a while, they were like, okay, we're going to go do our thing over at the bar and just left us on our own. Okay, good.

I was like, these friends do crash your party, try to get you guys wasted and then sit back and watch what happens? That's actually kind of funny. Yeah, no, they were like apropos. They were good. Okay, good. Okay. Are they the ones that sent you the shots, though? Yeah, I think ultimately that's what we figured out, but I wasn't really paying attention.

I was just having fun. And like I said, like, I don't really do shots. So I was just like, okay, I'm going to get this over with. Okay. I think so much about it. Were you feeling it? Yeah, yeah. I mean, I felt safe enough to, like, not overly question where the shots were coming from,

I guess now that I'm thinking about it, I probably should have. But it's okay. It was just a lot of fun. All right. Well, how did the date end with him? I think it was okay. Like, okay, it got a little weird. So like he's laughing, having fun.

We're all cool. And then, like, out of nowhere, he had to leave. And he made up some excuse. He paid the tab. And then he did. And at one point shortly before that, he and his friends were at the bar and they kept looking back at me which it made me feel like self-conscious but you know it was like what is there something on me um so i went to the bathroom and the only thing i can think is like my shirt was a little to be through but i thought that that was you know hot and it made me feel good and not a reason to be like grossed out by me or anything no yeah his friends were pointing at you or looking over at you and talking what was the excuse that he gave you um just that he had to i think he said something about like having to get up early the next day and

and do something for building his business which okay great like yeah he's i know that he's ambitious i know you know he gave me a lot of details about his plans but it was just the way that it happened like it was so sudden to abruptly leave yeah it seems like something they said might be the reason that he left exactly and i don't know what it was and i just like i would really like know what happened. Okay. 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? If you still want. Okay. Okay, we'll get your first date follow up next. Hi there. This is Josh Clark from the Stuff You Should Know podcast. If you've been thinking,

So we're about to call him and see if he'll tell us why he's ghosting her. And get her a second date if she still wants one.

But before we do that, Jordan, break down your date for us again real quick one time. Yeah, so we met on Hinge, and we ended up going to a sports bar, and a couple of his friends were there, and so I got to meet them. And then we were having a great time, and then all of a sudden he decided, like, he needed to leave very quickly, and he made up this excuse, and I haven't heard from him since, and I'd like to know what happened. That's so weird. Well, are you ready for us to give you a call? Yes. All right, here we go. Hello?

Hi, may I speak to Drew, please? This is him. Who's this? Drew, how are you? This is a radio show. It's called The Jubal Show. Hi, I'm Victoria. And my name is Jubal.

How are you? I'm good. I'm familiar with you guys. Oh, nice. Just to see how you're doing, just checking in. We know we know you listen. We listen to you two and you don't know. Checking in on all the fans.

No, Drew, we're calling you because this is a first date follow-up. You know, if you go on a date with someone and then you end up ghosting them, they can email us to call you and find out why. So we got an email about you. It's Jordan, isn't it? Yes, it is, Drew. You don't even have to think about that. She told us about your date, and she's really confused.

It says that you guys were hanging out at the bar. Your friends ended up being there, too. and at one point you went over to your friends and then it looked like they were pointing towards her and then after that you said you had to get up for work or something and bounced. Mm-hmm. Well, okay, so first off,

thrilled to be talking to you guys, been listening for a while, but when Jordan, she was nice, fun, even, but I ghosted her because I cannot be out here dating someone who just confidently uses words absolutely and completely wrong. What do you mean?

Like, I tried to let it go. I really did, but she kept using, like, juxtaposition as if it meant, like, compromise. You like wine. I like sports bars, but I think we can find a juxtaposition, you know? Oh, okay. Is that not cute? I mean, if it's one word, sure, I get it. Like, you know, it's like a little quirky, cute moment, and then you can correct it.

But it kept happening over and over again with different words. And then, like, my friends ended up being at the bar, and she was, like, talking and they were joking about something, and she just went, this is such an ambiguous situation, and it wasn't, like, super clear. I think she meant to say, like, ridiculous or wild, but she was, like, so sure. She's like, this is so ambiguous. Okay. She seemed well-spoken when we talked to her. Like, it didn't seem like that was going on when we talked to her. I don't know.

I don't know. That wasn't my experience, you know. Like I said, she was nice. She was even fun. But I'm big on words, man. Like, you got no basic English language, you know? All right. Okay.

Well, thank you for telling us, Drew. And also, if you listen to the show, you know what happens now? Hi, Jordan. Hi. Hi. Wow. I'm so sorry that I didn't live up to your English-speaking expectations. You knew what I meant, though, right?

Like, that's all that matters. Communication is about intent, right? Like, reading people. Totally, for the most part. But, like, just basic first-grade understanding of the language is important. Like, words mean things, Jordan. The worst part is, like, my friends caught it, too. one of them even repeated it back to you like yeah

you're all super ambiguous and they were all laughing and you just nodded like they weren't roasting you I was like you got to have a little bit of like self-awareness about those roasting me wow okay I don't even know what to say to that I'm pretty sure I have better than a first grade understanding

of the English language well you did say you don't drink shots a lot So maybe that just kind of threw off your basic understanding of certain words, you know? I don't know, maybe. Because you do sound well spoken now. Thank you. I'd like to think that I am, at least most of the time. I don't know what you expected as me, but your friends were all of a sudden there,

and I guess I was trying to impress and just be. be, you know, conversational with everybody. And, you know, I was drunk and, like, I don't know. Like, you're, you're acting like I did something wrong to you. You were what? Well, you got that one right. You were bemused.

What is bemused mean? It means confused. I don't know. I'm bemused right now. See, I know how to use words. Totally. I mean, we're all a little bit mused right now, you know. Oh, my.

I was just saying, look, you didn't do anything to me. You were nice. You were fun. It's just not for me. Like, words mean things, and I can't, for me, I can't be explaining basic vocabulary every time we hang out, you know? I'm sure we can find some sort of, like, explanation, juxtaposition about this. Jordan, you're doing it.

Again, there, you just get it. That's not what that word means. I mean like a compromise. Yeah, go on. It's just that's what that means. That's what juxtapose means. No, that's not what it means, Jordan. No, when two people disagree, they come to a juxtaposition.

That is what that means. oh my goodness do you guys see what I'm talking about it's like and you're just getting a little sneak peek we were out there for like two hours I think she's right I think she's right

I wish you guys could come to a juxtaposition I mean I understand don't encourage her this can be fixed she needs to know would you like to go on another date with Jordan we'll pay for it and then you guys can see

if you can juxtapose in person yeah no no words mean things man I can't I can't be doing that yeah I also don't want another date because you clearly don't know words like you think you do.

Why don't you go look up, juxtapose, juxtaposition in a dictionary, and you can figure it out from there. Girl, I speak four languages. This is crazy. I hate this so much right now. Joubles's first date follow-up. Hi there. This is Josh Clark from the Stuff You Should Know podcast.
