So in a few minutes we'll call her and see

it been since you heard from Serena?
Speaker 3 (00:21):

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Okay, not too bad.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
How long?
Speaker 4 (00:24):
How many times did you hit her up?
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Just a couple, you know, like I'd send her a
text and then I kind of followed up. My usual
is like an upside down smiley face emoji. I tried
calling everybody. Yeah nothing, okay.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
Uh oh, well, why don't you tell us about the date?
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Yeah? So it was great. We went to this like
super chill indie bookstore cafe kind of thing. Yeah, it
was really nice. I had like live music in the back.
They had candles on the table. It was super low key.
It just like really perfect explore what we were trying to,
you know, but the day was trying to be what
(01:03):
I was trying to make it, And yeah, it was
very romantic. Yeah, nobody was yelling in this place, so
that was nice. Yeah, and then you know what we
talked about. You know, we talked about like everything, the
most underrated cartoons, weird family traditions. She actually told me
(01:25):
that she celebrates her childhood stuffed animal's birthday every year,
which I thought was super interesting.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
And yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Admitted to her that I once cried during a dog
food commercial. So yeah, it was a solid, really solid day.
Definitely felt a vibe with her. But yeah, you know,
like I said, I really felt a vibe with her.
I felt like I really felt like we got each other.
I walked her to her car at the end of
the night, and she, you know, she even said she
(01:58):
wanted to see me again, so.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Oh she did. Did you guys have any kind of
intimate moments?
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Uh? No, nothing to nothing like that. You know, I
kept get professional, but yeah, like it sound like a
good exit.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Okay, Well, why do you think she might be ghosting you?
Speaker 3 (02:20):
I don't know. I might have made like a dumb
joke at the end of the night, and you know,
I offered her a mint and said something like, I
hope you're not doing anything for the next forty eight
hours and then pretended the mint was like laced with something.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Maybe you wouldn't joke about that on a Thursday. That's
a really bad joke.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
How did she react to that, Craig?
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Uh, yeah, she kind of froze. Uh, not gonna lie,
she kind of froze. Uh, you know, she draw it
and also kind of like gave me this like half
laugh before saying thanks for the date and getting in
her car.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
So were you able to like apologize for the joke
and be like, hey, that was a joke. It was bad,
bad joke, but still joke.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Yeah, I definitely apologize. I texted her the next morning
and you know, you know, I was like, you know,
I'm sorry. I had a great time. But yeah, no reply, and.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
She goes joining us for today's first date follow up.
Craig is on the phone and he's getting ghosted by Serena.
So we're about to call her and see if she'll
tell us why she's ghosting him and maybe get him
a second date. But first, Craig, why don't you recap
your date for us again?
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Real quick?
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Yeah. So it was a great date. We went to
a really romantic place. We had great conversation. But at
the end of the date, I made a stupid joke
about drugging her with a mint. I totally regret making.
Now I am getting basically ghosted. She is not calling
(04:06):
me back. We're testing me back. All right.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Are you ready for us to give her a call?
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Yep, I'm ready. I'm ready for whatever happened?
Speaker 2 (04:15):

Hey Serena, how are you. This is the radio show.
(04:36):
It's called The Jewbill Show.

Hi, Serena. I'm Nina.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Hi, I'm Victoria and my name is Jewble. What's going on?
Speaker 5 (04:42):

Speaker 6 (04:44):
That's their question.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Yeah, have you ever listened to the show before?
Speaker 3 (04:49):
No?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
No, okay, Well, we do a segment on the show
that's called the first Date follow Up. That's where if
you go 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. And
we got an email about you Are you ghosting somebody?
Speaker 5 (05:08):
I did go out with a guy named Craig recently.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Okay, that who wrote you?
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Yes, it is Craig. He emailed us. We talked him
a little bit about your date. He really liked you,
and he's wondering why you're ghosting him, so we thought
we'd call and ask if you wouldn't mind.
Speaker 7 (05:24):
Telling us Okay, sure, Well the date was lovely, but
what I saw at the end of the date kind
of like freaked me out.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
And you.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Well, I okay, I it was a good time. Honestly,
I wasn't expecting him like him as much as I did,
Like we clicked, we had a really nice time. Like
he's quirky, but he's charming. And then near the end
of the night, we're standing by my car and he
wants to show me a picture of him with elephants
in Thailand. Okay, and so he give me his phone
(06:02):
and says, you know the here's.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
Me with the elephants. And I swiped to see more
pictures and I swiped too far. That's when I saw
just like endless bathroom selfies.
Speaker 8 (06:23):
He's shirtless in different bathrooms.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
Doing like look how hot I am poses, and some
had two action and some did not have tal action,
which you know, like I did not mean to do that.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
What are you doing with this many photos? And who
are you sending them to? Like, nobody should have that
many naked photos of themselves on their phone.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Okay, and that's the reason you're ghosting him? Yeah, okay,
all right, well thank you for telling us. I wonder
why you have so many? Do you want you wonder
that too? I'm sure?
Speaker 5 (07:02):
Yeah. Like I said, it was just a lot tell notell.
I just like, who was he sending those two? Like
why do you need so many?
Speaker 2 (07:08):
We should ask him? Oh gosh, and Serena, he's actually
on the phone right now and wants to talk to you,
So who should just ask?
Speaker 3 (07:19):
I could just jump in. What so that's why you
ghosted me? You're ghosting me because of selfies?
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Cool?
Speaker 5 (07:27):
So you're on this call too.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Right, Yeah, so you're saying, you know, like what you saw,
Like is that is that why you're ghosting You're just
like not attracted to me naked?
Speaker 8 (07:39):
That's nothing to do. I mean, that's that's your takeaway.
Like there's a lot of photos, man, Like, who are
you sending those two?
Speaker 5 (07:46):
That's weird.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
I sometimes I just need to remind myself that I'm
hot now, Like I was overweight growing up and now
I look good. So I like to see it like
an angle I take like I like it. I mean,
I like taking photos of myself.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Do you send those two people?
Speaker 3 (08:06):
I mean I'll send them sometimes if it's like appropriate.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
So it's just to admire yourself.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Yeah, it's just for me. And then like just in
case I need one ready to send to somebody like you.
Speaker 8 (08:25):
I okay, you can save your photos for your like scrolling.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
I'm not interested in them, more in seeing anyone who
like admires himself that much.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
That was just a lot for me.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
What like, you don't want to date somebody with confidence?
I'm confident, Like that's that's just me being confident.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
That's great. I'm glad you feel good about yourself now,
But that doesn't change to something you'll take.
Speaker 8 (08:51):
Longer than me in the bathroom because you're turning.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
At the right angle of your little friends, Like.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
It's not little.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Hey, Serena, would you like another day with Craig? We'll
pay for it, thank you.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
But I'm good at.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Least he's owning it, you know what I mean. It's
not like trying to play it off.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Like if you didn't see those Serena, would you want
to go on a date with him?
Speaker 5 (09:17):
Probably, but like I know what I know.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Now, I mean, Serena, Like, I really hope that you
change your mind. Like I really like you. I really
had a great time on our date. I'm sorry for
the dumb jokes that I made. I'm sorry that I
take so many selfies of myself, but like, I really
really like you as much as I like me.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
I well, I will take that as a compliment because
obviously I know how much you like you.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
