Storytime podcast on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. First date of follow-up. Powered by the advocates injury attorneys. Online at advocates law.com. Stephen is on the phone today for a first day follow-up, and he's getting ghosted by a woman named Yasmin. So in a few minutes, we'll call her and see if she'll tell us why she's ghosting him and maybe get him a second date. But first, Stephen, how long is it?

been since your date? So it's been like a week. Could I just be that she's working? Yeah. No, I know she's working because we work together. Oh. Oh, that makes it awkward. Okay, so you went on a date with a co-worker, but now she's

ghosting you. Yeah. But you still see her at work. Right. Exactly. Awkward. Yeah. Let's figure out how we got here. So, how did you guys end up going on a date? So I just kind of liked her I always at work like I just you know

We were always kind of viving it seemed like when we were at work And I was just thinking like why not mix Maybe we can mix in like some fall vibes and some romance you know And so I invited her over for pumpkin carving and scary movies Oh that's fun Yeah I thought it was a good idea What happened on the day? I mean

It's uh first of She looked so good, by the way. She came over like one of these oversized sweaters, like the cozy kind of, but still make you look hot. You know what I mean? She just look. Yeah, she's, I really, I really do. She's awesome. So the night, it started out great.

We had some whiskey. We had some popcorn. And, like, before the first pumpkin even made its appearance, things got kind of steamy on the couch. Like, it kind of just happened a little bit. But since we worked together, we agreed to, like, sort of pump the brakes a little bit, you know, it was like we kind of, it was, it got going and then we kind of backed off. But we're still having like a really fun, like a flirty night, you know, or still kind of like charged up from that. Anyway, then came the incidents, as I like to refer

to it. All right. Yeah. So I was kind of like, you know, I was very in a very like whiskey-fueled creative mode and I ended up carving a lopsided grin into my pumpkin when I was hiring the other it looked like sloths from Goonies and that was not what I was going for and I kind of lost it I sort of had a meltdown over the pumpkin and I think what kind of melt out of a meltdown I'm talking I mean like I was just like I was I was kind of worked up I was like I like yeah I said 20 minutes in this damn face and I like I'm I know may or may not have launched the pumpkin off the balcony.

Oh, wow. Insulter his mother, possibly. It's a lot. You've got a complete meltdown. You've not been in those situations before. What? What is she doing? I worked so hard on the pumpkin and it came out terribly.

And I just got to, you know, I'm sorry. What is she doing, though? Like, while you're freaking out over your pumpkin and tossing it off of a balcony. Meanwhile, her pumpkin looks perfect it's great she's like really good at this obviously she's better at this than i am and she just kind of like dipped her drink quietly and was like are you okay you know and then

she left soon after like no kiss not even like just a just a point of the beginning but the day i was like oh man like i just scared away i got us with a gourd all right well we'll see if that is the reason that you're getting ghosted we'll pull play a song, come back, and then call her and see if she'll tell us why she's ghosting you and maybe get you a second date, okay? Got to really walk back from that fucking hate. Yeah, we'll see if we can patch that up for you. All right, well, we'll get your first day follow up next.

On the latest episode of Next question with me, Katie Couric, I sat down with Bernie Sanders, who is 84 years old, has spent 34 years in Congress, and he can still pack a rally with people a quarter of his age. Denver, 34,000 people come out. Salt Lake City, 20,000 people are, you know, huge turnouts. People are really dissatisfied about the status quo. His fighting oligarchy tour with AOC and other young progressives has become a movement. But is his message too far to the left?

Well, he certainly doesn't think so. Is that like a radical idea, Katie? Is that too far left for you? Okay, okay. I get your point, Bernie. We talk about the billionaire class, the cost of, living. And of course, the government shut down, not to mention the current state of the Democratic Party. To me, the failure of the Democratic Party has been an unwillingness to recognize the

real issue. Open your free I-HeartRadio app. Search next question with Katie Couric and listen now. What's up everybody?

Right in the middle of your first day follow-up, and if you're just joining us, Stephen is on the phone, and he is getting ghosted by a woman named. Yasmin, so we're about to call her in a second and see if she'll tell us why she's ghosting him and maybe get him a second date. But first, Stephen, why don't you remind us about your date again real quick? Yeah, so I invited Yasmin over, who I work with, my coworker, invited her to come over for, like, you know, pumpkin carving and scary movies and everything seemed like it was going well until I screwed up my pumpkin pretty bad and kind of ended up throwing it over the balcony me and yelling at it.

That is pretty... It might have been too much for her, you know? She might have been like, wow, if this guy reacts like that with a pumpkin, you know, it might be a little high-strung. It's a little too soon to show that. All right. Are you ready for us to call her? Yeah, let's do it.

Okay, here we go. Hi, man, speak to Yasmin, please. This is she. Hey, Yasmin, how are you? This is a radio show. It's called The Jubal Show. Hi, Yasmin. I'm Nina.

Hi, I'm Victoria. And my name is Jubal. What's up? Okay. What's going on? Have you ever listened to the show before? I have. I have caught it before.

Okay, cool. But why are you calling me? Well, we're calling you because we got an email about you from somebody. Okay. So, I don't know how much you've listened to the show, but we do a segment that's called the first date, follow-up. That's where if you go out on a date with somebody and you end up ghosting them, that person can email us to

get you on the phone and ask why you're ghosting them. So we got an email about you from somebody that you're not talking to after you went out on a date with them. Oh, my God. Okay. Do you have any ideas who it might be? Yeah, I'm pretty sure. Okay. Steven?

Yes, it is your coworker, Stephen. and we talked to him about your date. He told us a little bit about it. He said it's been very awkward at work now because you're not really talking to him and he really liked you and he's wondering why he's getting ghosted. Would you mind telling us?

This is probably making him now. Okay. This is kind of weird to explain. There was a thong in his laundry hamper. Like hanging out like hello. Oh. Like a female's... It's not what.

That's not what you think it was. Hold on a minute. Okay. Yeah. That's Stephen. He's on the phone listening and wants to talk to you. Oh, my God. So you're here.

Okay. This is weird. That song is not what you think. Like that. Oh, man. I can't believe you saw that. Okay. So it wasn't the pumpkin thing?

Because Stephen told us about how he kind of like freaked out on a pumpkin because he carved it bad and threw it out to the balcony and started yelling at it. He thought that was it. And I could have. been it. No, it's not. It is not. It was a thong. Like, it wasn't, I mean, it wasn't just a thong. It was neon pink and sparkling.

Like, it wanted to introduce itself. Wait, so, hold on. Just so we can all have a clear picture, Stephen, before you defend the thong, where did you see this thong, Yasmin? Well, I was going to the bathroom and it was in a hamper, like, hanging, like it was like over the edge.

Like, you could see it. It was just clear as day. Oh, that's, okay. All right. All right. Now, Stephen. You want to explain the song? What in the world? Yeah, so this is also going to sound strange, but that was part of my Halloween costume.

Um, I was going as a sexy lumberjack. That was the plan and it came in a costume kit, all right? A kit with glitter lingerie? Yeah, I like, I was, so I was going to do is like, pull the song up, you know, so it was kind of like showing. So, you know. My pants are down, like, showing off the sexy thong. That was kind of the idea of...

A sexy lumberjack. With a whale down. The whale tail. Oh, yeah, that's right. Listen, they gave me a bunch of options. Don't costume shame me, okay? It was hanging halfway out of the hamper like a trophy. If I didn't know, if it was bade or evidence.

Evidence of what? Like, you could have just said something and they're like, hey, what's with the pink, sparkly... Like, you think I'd leave it out, like a random, you know, stong trap? Like, I don't... it's not the reason it was I spent like 30 minutes trying on the thong

in the mirror and stuff but in the end it just didn't look right on me I felt like it wasn't for me Steven's funny do you believe him yesman I don't know what to believe

I mean does he have a girlfriend do you have random girls come by I don't know if you thought it was going to look more appealing to me if I thought I thought other women wanted you It's just kind of weird It was really a costume

Yeah, it was just like Why didn't you say anything We were having a good time I mean besides the pumpkin thing But we were having a good time And you should even send something about the phone Yeah It's

I just I already felt weird okay I mean we worked together The second I saw that thing hanging out of your hamper I was like nope This is the universe telling me to back off I just didn't want drama at work

Or to start asking questions that would make things, you know, messy. Look, I promise you, it was, I don't have a girlfriend, I don't have visitors other than, like, DoorDash or whatever. Like, the only thing, it wasn't, it wasn't like I was trying to, like, show off or show you something. Like, it was just something for a dumb hell. And, like, I don't want things to be awkward to work,

but I also really like you. Like, we have, there's a reason, you know, you came over in the first place. We like each other. We've had a good time at work. We were having a good time that night. Like, don't, I don't want this silly, stupid little costume malfunction to ruin any of that.

Well, yes, then would you like to go on another date with Stephen? We'll pay for it. Oh, my gosh. This is so insane. But I don't, I mean, seriously, I am just, you're really something. I don't know what to think. Should you try again and find out? a bad thing.

Listen, I'm, it's just, I swear this is a costume, like, go to laundry and ever. I can even show you the package. Like, I, I'll dig through my trash and find the package that it came in for the costume. And, like, I'll let you, you know, help me figure out what, you know, underwear looks good with the costume thing. Oh, lucky. There you go, Yasmin. I mean, if that's not incentive to go on another date, I don't know what it is.

Well, you know what? Let's do it as friends. That's it. Let's start just hanging out. No whiskey, no pumpkins, no wardrobe malfunctions. And let's do that. Then what's left? Okay.

I'm terrible at just being friends. Okay. Then start practicing because we're going slow. This is great. I'm so excited. This is the happiest I've ever been to get friends owned. I'm super fun. Jubble's first date follow-up
