Elena is on the phone today for our first date follow-up, and she's getting ghosted by a dude named Nikolai.

So in a few minutes, we're going to call him and see if we'll tell us why he's ghosting her and maybe get her a second date. But first, Elena, we need to find out about your date with Nikolai. How long has it been since he talked to him? Like two weeks, maybe. Oh, that's a long time. Okay.

Yeah. Yeah. And it's been that long. Why do you want to get a hold of him? I just like really liked him and stuff. He was like really handsome and like, I don't know, we hit it off so well. Okay. Well, tell us about the date. Okay. Well, you know, we met at this like local place. He was like so gorgeous. And like, you know, he kept talking about his family in Italy and how he would take me there. And then like he was like finance. but like he gave I can take care of you like vibes you know or so you're saying he had money I think you know he's like he's seen like one of those people that say that they're comfortable okay did anything else happen on the date yeah well um so I noticed like this like loner guy

on the down floor it's like he was just like by himself and like I felt really bad for him and like Express Martini's like they make me want to dance and like emotionally support strangers. Like you know like when you make a best friend in the bathroom and stuff like that and you're like, yeah, you talk to everyone. Yeah. That's how I get. Thank you. And then like I see the guy and I like I start dancing with him, but it's like more like encouraging like vibes and not flirting. So you know what I mean?

So you're with Nikolai. You saw a guy dancing. You left the guy that you were to go dance with another. one. Yeah, but like, I want you to see it like charity work. I want you to see it like a kindness. You know what I mean? Yeah.

Yeah, like I did a kindness. Calling it charity work and kindness in the same sentence are a little bit. It's like emotional support. I get it. But that also could be a reason why. Because if from his point of view, he see, he saw you kind of just like leave him to go dance with the guy. Yeah.

No, I, I think that's what happened. Because he was like watching. James in the bar and he was like amused right and then like this guy like Nikolai totally like shifts like mood shifts like you know like mic drop like record scratch like everything and like his smile is gone he starts like driving his phone but like if he was mad at me about that like we wouldn't be living together right I would think I mean yeah that's true but yeah who I don't know All right. Well, we'll see if we can figure it out. Elena is on the phone and she's getting ghosted by a dude named Nikolai.

So we're about to call him. And Steve will tell us why he's ghosting her and maybe get her a second date. But first, Elena, break down your date again for us real quick. Okay, so, you know, we were at this local spot and it was super cute. And we had, like, express with martinis and chocolate. And we had a really great time. I danced with this other guy that was by himself. because I felt bad for him, but I went back to Nikolai,

and we went home together, so I don't know. I don't know why he's coaching me. Yeah, you felt like his mood changed because you were dancing with the other guy, but you did go home together. I don't know. This is weird. Okay. All right.

Are you ready for us to call him? Yeah. Please. Okay. Here we go. Pronto? Hi, man. I speak to Nikolai, please.

Oh, he's speaking. I'm in. Oh, hey, Nikolai, how are you? This is a radio show. It's called The Jubal Show. Hi, Nikolai. I'm Nina. Hi, I'm Victoria.

And my name is Jubal. What's up? Hello. This is on the radio? Yes. Have you ever listened to the Jubil? Well, I don't know. Have you ever listened to the Jubal show before?

No, no. Not at all. All right. Well, it's a radio show. You can check us out if you want or not. Whatever, it's up to you. But we do do a segment on our show called the first date follow-up. What that is is where if you go out on a date with somebody

and then you end up ghosting them, they can email us to call you and ask why you're ghosting them. And we got an email about you from somebody. Oh, yeah, a email from a date? Are you ghosting somebody? Well, that's a kind of new term, but I did go on on a date with someone

and didn't work out. Is that ghosting? Yes. Well, if you didn't call them, if you didn't talk to them after, if you just went out on a date and didn't talk to him. Okay. Yeah, well, then yes.

Okay. Was her name Elena? Yeah, I remember Elena. Bella Rada. Yes. Okay. Well, Elena emailed us, and she said it's been about two weeks since she talked to you, and she thought the date was great, and she's wondering if you would tell us why you're ghosting her.

All right. Oh, okay. Okay. Just me a second to place. All right. So, uh, met Elena and she was beautiful. Uh, everything was great. Conversation was blowing.

Um, she started dancing. Her moves were amazing, you know, uh, when, when you got more drinks, more dancing. Uh, and I, I have to admit, the attraction was real. Everything was on fire. Uh, you know, uh, you know, uh, I bring her to my place and, yeah, you know, there's chemistry, there's, you know, passion, there's everything. And that's when, you know, that's when I had to stop. Okay, wait, so stop what, when you got to your place?

Yeah, we are at our place. We're making out, you know, there's fire, passion, and, you know, things get hot and heavy. and while we're making out, I noticed her toenail polish. Okay. What wrong with her toenail polish? I know it sounds bad, but it's, I don't know. This is my thing. I don't know.

My brain kept saying, why is that one blue? Why is that one gray? All right. Well, thank you for telling us, Nikolai. I'll also let you know that Elena is on the phone and wants to talk to you. Oh, she's here? Yep. Hi.

Oh, hi. Oh, hi. That's ridiculous. So you go through me over that? Okay. Okay. I know it sounds worse, but I'm just being honest. And the lighting in the house, low lights and everything made it look worse.

The lighting? Yeah. Yeah, it was warm lighting, very, you know, revealing. It was very, you know, it showed a lot. You were fine with me dancing, but like one at toe took you out? I just kept seeing it. It's like every angle, every moment, every place I look, it was there. Oh, the fuck are you, the toe police?

Listen, listen. I am not proud of this, but my brain kept my brain kept saying, Why is that one different? Why is this one? I simply, I don't understand. You kiss me for 20 minutes. Yeah. And then the toe entered the chat.

I just don't understand. Oh. I just don't understand. I've accepted that, you know, it's not right. But I couldn't, I couldn't shake it. You know what I, is that a baby in the background? Oh, yeah. I, it wasn't right to say, but yes, I do have a baby.

You didn't tell me about your baby. You're here. Forget about my toe. Like, you lied to me. You, you never told me about your baby. I can hear it. So what? It's not for everyone to meet the baby.

But everyone has to meet the toenail. That's not, that's not fair. Oh, what? Wow. How old is this baby? Like, it sounds brand new. Yeah, like, I don't know. Six months old.

You know, I'm just a baby. Are you even single? Yeah, where's the mom? So how do you not know if it's your baby? Yeah. I was single at the moment I met you. No, I'm not. In two weeks?

What? What? Did you have a... You have a... You have a... had a baby in two weeks. Oh, my God. How disgusting.

We worked it out. Do I work it out with the mom? You're disgusting. You should have been staying up with the mom helping to be in care of the baby. He's worried about a towel. And then looking at people's toes. Like, you're crazy. Okay, okay.

What was I going to say? Hey, I love the night, but fear the food? But what? Yeah, no, I, what was I supposed to tell her? Like, no, I don't. I don't get it. It didn't work, and I just let her off easy. And I said, you know what?

I caught my losses. I cut the toe. And I just called the mama and we worked it out. All right. Well, Nicolai, would you like to go on another date with Elena? We'll pay for it. No, I don't think so. No.

Absolutely not. Jubil's first date follow up. In the middle of the night, Soskia awoke in. A Hayes. Her husband, Mike, was on his laptop. What was on his screen would change Saskia's life forever.
