Lucy is on the phone today for her first day follow-up.

And she's getting ghosted by a dude named Josh.

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.

But first,

Lucy, how long has it been since you heard from Josh?

Yeah.

Hey, yeah, it's been about two weeks.

It's a good amount of time.

Yeah.

I mean, I feel like we have such a good vibe and connection.

I can't let this go.

Yeah.

Did you try to get a hold of him in that time?

Oh, I definitely have.

Yeah.

Okay, when was the last time you reached out?

I actually reached out yesterday.

Been in the text.

But yeah, I haven't heard anything from them.

Okay, we'll tell us about the date.

Well,

okay, I know it sounds really wild,

but it honestly felt like it might be something

from out of a movie.

That's how magical it felt.

We met in Vegas.

I don't know.

We just had a really great time.

It felt like otherworldly.

I don't know.

It was felt like the universe kind of put us together.

He made me laugh immediately.

I felt disconnected to him.

We saw each other at this lot of machines.

We had a great conversation and then he got my number

and we text nonstop.

When I got back home,

he actually asked me out on a real date.

I didn't even let him finish the sentence.

I was like, yes, yes.

You guys met in Vegas and you live in the same city.

How amazing.

I can see.

It really felt like it was meant to be.

Okay, that's cool.

So we ended up going to this really,

Viby wine bar with fairy lights,

and we shared a secretary board

and held hands the whole time.

I don't know.

It really just felt like we were falling in love.

I know that sounds crazy,

but it was amazing.

Okay.

He was feeling the same way, you think?

Oh, my goodness.

Yeah.

I felt like we were so connected.

I don't know.

It was awesome.

He definitely was into me.

Okay.

Well, then what happened?

Was there anything off at the end of the day

or even during the day, I guess?

Yeah, so I thought everything was going well

and I felt really like I wanted to be open and honest with him

and so towards the end of the day,

I told him that I'm technically married.

Oh.

Okay.

Yeah, but like I'm really working on opening things up

with my husband and...

Did you say opening things up with your husband?

Yeah.

So like open relationship type thing?

Yeah, yeah.

Like here, he knows like I'm a free spirit

and he knows like I'm very open-minded.

I mean, he loves who I am.

And so I, you know, I talked to him about it.

And he, I don't know, instead of listening

and having a conversation,

he just felt very frantic and just left.

Josh did.

And yeah, so...

Like he grabbed his jacket, he didn't even finish his drink

and I haven't heard from him since.

So we know why you're getting ghosted.

Yeah.

Well, I mean, yes, but I don't know.

I feel like I was being really transparent

and I believe in honesty and obviously love

and multiple kinds of love.

And he said he really liked emotionally intelligent women.

And I don't know.

I thought that he would be at least willing

to have a conversation about it.

So...

Okay.

That's what you want.

A conversation about it.

Lucy is on the phone and she's getting ghosted

by a guy named Josh.

We think we might know why.

Mm-hmm.

But we're not sure.

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.

But first, Lucy, why don't you break down your situation

again real quick?

Yeah.

So I had a really great connection with Josh.

We went on a date and I was honest with him

and told him that I'm married.

But I'd like to, you know, have an open relationship

and I don't know if he just left.

So I haven't heard from him since.

All right.

Are you ready to call him?

Yeah.

Okay.

Here we go.

Hello.

Hi, man.

I speak to Josh, please.

Yes, Lucy.

Hey, Josh.

How are you?

This is a radio show.

It's called the Jewel Show.

Hi, Josh.

I'm Nina.

Hi, I'm Victoria.

And my name's Jewel.

What's up, guys?

I don't know.

Have you ever listened to the show before?

I have.

But it's really cool.

It's really cool.

It's really cool.

It's really cool.

It's really cool.

It's really cool.

It's really cool.

It's really cool.

It's really cool.

It's really cool.

It's really cool.

I have.

But it's been a minute.

I don't know what I'm doing.

I'm doing it.

I know.

Well, we do his segment called the first day follow-up.

That's where if you go on a date with somebody and then you ghost 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, Josh.

Okay.

Any idea who would email us?

Uh, uh, uh, which is Vanessa?

It's Vanessa.

It's Vanessa.

It's Vanessa.

It's Vanessa.

It's Vanessa.

It's Vanessa.

Who is it?

It's Vanessa.

Uh, it's Lucy.

And that's Lucy.

She's actually on the phone and wanted to talk to you.

So.

Lucy.

All right.

Josh.

Oh, it's Vanessa.

I know I freaked her out by telling you I'm married.

But are you going out with somebody else?

I don't think we really had a good connection.

Uh-huh.

Uh, okay.

Hold on.

I'm still trying to process all this work.

So you thought I ghosted you.

So you called a radio station to call me on the air?

Is that what is happening here right now?

Yes.

I didn't know what else to do.

So I called the radio station like you've been ghosting me.

So what would it?

I don't know what to do.

Okay.

I'm going to break this down in a way that I hopefully you can understand.

Lucy, you casually dropped that you're married and you're planning to ask him for permission

to date me.

So you're asking your husband, how do you think this was going to go?

Like I, yeah, I do like you, but this is so messy.

This is not how I operate.

I know, but I mean, I, I was being really vulnerable with you.

Like I felt like, I don't know, I felt like we were just placed.

And like I, I was able to open up few in that way and, and that.

I want you to be in my life.

I feel like something's really here between us.

And I, I felt like I could tell you the truth.

And we could like kind of work through this.

Yeah.

Lucy, I didn't sign up for a struggle.

I don't want that.

I don't want that.

I don't want that.

Okay.

I don't, not a struggle.

This is me.

Like, I'm, okay, I would still be married.

But I would be monogamous of you.

So you wouldn't be with your husband anymore.

Is that what you're saying to me?

Okay.

I, well, I would be with him.

But, but it would just be him and then you and nobody else.

That's not monogamous.

Do you understand what's working on this?

I know, but like what is, I just, I feel like, okay, what if I let you date,

whoever you want, but then you're still my boyfriend.

Okay.

I'm going to refer back to the monogamous.

Do you even know what that word means?

I, I, listen to this, this is bothering me.

Can you tell me what it means?

If you, if you know, what does it mean?

What does it mean?

No, no, no, no, no.

Tell me like, I don't know.

What do you explain it to me?

Just tell me what it is.

What does that mean?

Word means.

Yeah, I mean, I think it's going to take more than like a conversation on the radio to talk about that.

No, no, no, no, no.

I'm just telling you to tell me one thing.

You've dragged me on the radio.

I just want you to define one word.

What's monogamous means?

What is it means?

Well, like, I have a definition.

You got your phone there?

Google it.

You don't know.

Yeah, I mean, I just feel like a, for me, it's, it's being with my husband and then,

and then you know it's my boyfriend and then nobody else.

Oh, that's great.

Okay.

Thank you.

That's amazing.

Cool.

So chairs are dead too in my world.

Like, I don't, you know, you can't just change that definition or word to suit your application.

Do you understand that?

Would you at least be willing to maybe like talk to me more about this?

Like absolutely.

At this point, I'm like fascinated with what's going on in your mind.

I'll never talk to you from a romantic angle ever again or that, that's, that's not happening.

I mean, that's, that's, but I want to know, I want to know how crazy you are.

I'm being honest.

I want to figure out what is going on in your head.

I don't know that.

That's not me.

Yeah.

Josh, would you like another day with Lucy?

We'll pay for it.

I don't know.

Are you kidding?

Like, okay, I guess that you think I'm crazy.

It's a little unconventional.

But I, I just felt like you would maybe want to see like where our connection to go.

Like, it might be worth, you know, exploring a little bit more.

Well, you know, sometimes we think wrong.

Wow.

Okay, you did say we, so it's that.

Yeah.

Okay.

Yeah, that's a hard no.

There will never be a you and me.

We as long as you have a husband.

Okay.

Okay.

Well, Josh, I feel like it's really unfair that you think I should leave my husband for you.

It's estimated.

Well, yeah, I don't think you're getting another date, Lucy, but at least you got to talk to Josh.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, thanks guys.

I don't know what to say.

You'll figure it out.

I'm sure.

Yeah.

And Josh, thank you for your time.

Yeah.

I still don't know what happened with all this.

This is Chelsea, handler from Dear Chelsea.

After the big game, like most people, I kept thinking about the commercials.

And there was one that stayed with me.

It was from the Blue Square Alliance against hate.

And it wasn't loud or flashy.

It showed a Jewish kid being targeted at school and another student who chose not to ignore it.

As someone who was Jewish, that moment felt very real to me.

Not dramatic, just familiar.

And what struck me was how clearly it showed that hate doesn't always announce itself.

But the impact is still huge.

If you saw the Blue Square spot during the big game, it's worth thinking about.

And if you want to show support, sharing the Blue Square is one small way to do that.
