Speaker 1: It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And Jose if
Speaker 1: you had to guess, how many times do you think
Speaker 1: you've been ghosted by a woman in your life? Like completely?
Speaker 1: Just stop hitting me back?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Oh ten eight?
Speaker 2: Huh seems low.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I try doubling maybe tripling that.
Speaker 4: Oh okay.
Speaker 1: But out of all those ghosts the experiences, have any
Speaker 1: of them ever made international news?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 4: No, I would hope so, but.
Speaker 1: No, I didn't think so. It's probably a good thing.
Speaker 1: But one woman from New York is gaining global attention
Speaker 1: this morning, and it's all because of her story that
Speaker 1: she shared on TikTok. Her video has gone viral with
Speaker 1: over five million views so far. Because it's such a
Speaker 1: unique and bizarre way of ditching someone.
Speaker 2: That you're dating already, I can't hear.
Speaker 1: We're gonna tell you what it is coming up next.
Speaker 1: Text into seven, eight, five, nine to two. Tell us
Speaker 1: what's the craziest way some one's ever ghosted you? It's
Speaker 1: Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. In just a decade ago,
Speaker 1: if you got ghosted, that meant a poltergeist or some
Speaker 1: ungodly vision entered your body, made your head spin around
Speaker 1: and things shoot out of your mouth.
Speaker 2: Yeah, which was kind of a fun date.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, as Alexis calls it, spring break. But now,
Speaker 1: being ghosted it's a common dating term where you're pursuing
Speaker 1: a love interest, things seem to be going fine and
Speaker 1: then suddenly, without any warning or explanation, they completely vanish.
Speaker 2: Was that for our like fifty plus crowd that's listening
Speaker 2: right now.
Speaker 1: You might not know. Some people may be getting ghosted
Speaker 1: as we speak and not even realize what's happening. It is,
Speaker 1: but if you're single, this has probably happened to you
Speaker 1: at some point, which is why. Recently somebody on TikTok
Speaker 1: asked everybody to share the worst ways they've ever been
Speaker 1: ghosted in their past relationships. Okay, and one woman's story
Speaker 1: blew everybody else's out of the water.
Speaker 2: My god, what happened?
Speaker 1: So her name's Catherine. Her response immediately went viral and
Speaker 1: last I checked, that had five million views, a million likes,
Speaker 1: and almost twenty thousand comments, Oh.
Speaker 2: My, what happened? This hasn't shown up in my FORU.
Speaker 1: Why you never get ghosted? That's why?
Speaker 2: Married woman?
Speaker 1: So I have a clip of her video, I'm play
Speaker 1: for you right now here we go.
Speaker 4: I was with man for two years, and I thought
Speaker 4: I was going to marry him, have his babies, and
Speaker 4: spend the rest of our lives together. But then COVID
Speaker 4: hit and he unfortunately told me that he thought he
Speaker 4: had it. He said he was thinking about going to
Speaker 4: the hospital because he felt so bad, but then miraculously,
Speaker 4: he's starting to feel better. But it was that same
Speaker 4: day he told me he was feeling better that I
Speaker 4: never heard from him ever again. He suddenly stopped responding
Speaker 4: to all my calls, all my texts. A week later,
Speaker 4: his phone went right to work. I freaked out. I
Speaker 4: started calling the hospital, thinking maybe something happened and he's
Speaker 4: at the hospital. He wasn't there. I called all the
Speaker 4: hospitals in the area, and he wasn't there. I called
Speaker 4: the police and filed a missing person's report, and you
Speaker 4: know what they told me. They told me my boyfriend
Speaker 4: did not exist. So not only did my boyfriend ghost
Speaker 4: me by faking his own death, he also had lied
Speaker 4: to me for two years about his real identity.
Speaker 2: In the system or anything.
Speaker 5: Wait, girl, you've never been to his house. You've dated
Speaker 5: this guy for two years. You can't go track him down.
Speaker 2: A lot of excuses they get to you.
Speaker 1: B Oh my god, how many years this guy lied
Speaker 1: to Catherine about his name and everything about him. She
Speaker 1: never had any idea until he claimed to come down
Speaker 1: with COVID and then disappeared.
Speaker 5: You know, God, he was either like married, had another family,
Speaker 5: or with some sort of like ex comvic drug smile.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I liked the other family idea.
Speaker 2: I thought drug smuggler was sexier.
Speaker 1: It's just shocking. I don't know how you can go
Speaker 1: two years lying to somebody first. But also, I know
Speaker 1: this sounds bad, but when you're with someone for two years,
Speaker 1: how do you not catch on?
Speaker 2: I mean, but they say.
Speaker 5: Love is blind, I mean literally, if you are truly
Speaker 5: feeling like, oh, this is the man of my dreams,
Speaker 5: I mean, he's just playing into everything that you want
Speaker 5: to hear.
Speaker 3: I guess.
Speaker 5: I mean it just it makes you like Of course,
Speaker 5: hindsight twenty twenty, she probably feels like a complete idiot
Speaker 5: and sees all the sides and puts them together. But
Speaker 5: oh yeah, he said he was homeless.
Speaker 2: That's why he just had an apartment.
Speaker 1: A lot of people on TikTok were shocked when they
Speaker 1: heard Catherine's story and they criticized her former boyfriend. Another
Speaker 1: person thought maybe he was a spy who had to
Speaker 1: go full dark mode, which would explain why he was
Speaker 1: using a fake made super cool, But a bunch of
Speaker 1: people wanted Catherine to show pictures of the guy and
Speaker 1: expose him. She wasn't comfortable doing that.
Speaker 2: Oh is that because she made up the whole story herself.
Speaker 1: Well, here's where the story gets juice here, because you know,
Speaker 1: the Internet never gives up on this stuff. You've seen
Speaker 1: documentaries of people who are like, I'm going to solve
Speaker 1: this thirty year old by just Google searching, and they
Speaker 1: do it. Yeah, it's Google searching for Carol.
Speaker 6: Baskin as we speak.
Speaker 1: Somehow the people of the Internet found a picture with
Speaker 1: her and this guy. They discovered his real name, and
Speaker 1: they were able to track the guy down in less
Speaker 1: than two hours.
Speaker 4: This is so juicy.
Speaker 5: Come on, less than two hours and you couldn't have
Speaker 5: done that in thee.
Speaker 2: Where are your girlfriends at?
Speaker 1: It turns out this guy is actually married, I know it,
Speaker 1: which now makes sense why he was using a fake
Speaker 1: name when he was talking to her. Maybe the wife
Speaker 1: figured out what was going on between him and Catherine
Speaker 1: and made him break it off. But was the internet.
Speaker 1: It's satisfied, no want of flesh. So they went and
Speaker 1: they found.
Speaker 2: His Facebook and then did they tell her?
Speaker 1: They started leaving comments on his wedding photos calling him out.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, they like snake emoji to him.
Speaker 1: I feel bad at first, I'm like, wait a minute,
Speaker 1: this guys a cheater. Yeah, destroy him. So that happened,
Speaker 1: and were they done?
Speaker 3: Close?
Speaker 2: I mean, this guy is living a miserable life. Let's
Speaker 2: living a lie. He can't sleep at night.
Speaker 1: This is the closure that we live in the Internet
Speaker 1: wants everybody who ever makes a mistake can't.
Speaker 2: Say what did they do?
Speaker 1: So they also found out where the guy worked, and
Speaker 1: they started commenting on his work Facebook page and contacted
Speaker 1: his employer directly asking for him to be fired for
Speaker 1: what he's done.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's crossing the line.
Speaker 1: That's the Internet nowadays. If I was his boss, so
Speaker 1: I'd be like, wow, he is very committed to what
Speaker 1: he does. He has excellent follow through. I don't want
Speaker 1: to lose him.
Speaker 2: Dude.
Speaker 5: If I was his wife that I was about to
Speaker 5: divorce him and be like, yo, you're ruining my alimony,
Speaker 5: not a job.
Speaker 2: I need him to have a job, and I'm married
Speaker 2: to him.
Speaker 1: And then the people of the internet went and found
Speaker 1: his seven year old daughter's Instagram.
Speaker 2: Do not wait, Why does his seven year old have
Speaker 2: an Instagram?
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2: I'm a terrible Tara.
Speaker 1: He doesn't have any kids. But we don't know what's
Speaker 1: going to happen next in this story, but Catherine says
Speaker 1: she has come to terms with the deception, and now
Speaker 1: she's encouraging all her supporters online to stop commenting on
Speaker 1: the guy's stuff and just let it be.
Speaker 2: That's not gonna happen, honey. He's got to change his
Speaker 2: name again, exactly.
Speaker 1: But I think you can learn a lot of really
Speaker 1: important lessons. It's important to recognize red flag so you
Speaker 1: can learn going forward, which is why I want to
Speaker 1: hear from our listeners.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's help.
Speaker 1: People out with their future relationships. Text into seven, eight, five,
Speaker 1: nine to two. Tell us your craziest story about how
Speaker 1: you got ghosted. We'll do the best ones next. Wow,
Speaker 1: isn't dating fun?
Speaker 4: Sometimes?
Speaker 1: Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, if you're just joining us,
Speaker 1: We've been talking about a woman from New York named Catherine,
Speaker 1: who's going viral on TikTok today after sharing her crazy
Speaker 1: story about how she got ghosted by her boyfriend of
Speaker 1: two years.
Speaker 2: Oh it's so insane.
Speaker 1: No, you like two dates? I'm getting ghosted? Yeah, year,
Speaker 1: because after two years together, one day, her boyfriend said
Speaker 1: he came down with COVID, told her that he went
Speaker 1: to the hospital but was starting to feel better, and
Speaker 1: then that same day stopped responding and never responded ever again.
Speaker 1: The phone a week later started to go to voicemail.
Speaker 1: And this is what Catherine did next.
Speaker 4: I freaked out. I started calling the hospital, thinking maybe
Speaker 4: something happened and he's at the hospital. He wasn't there.
Speaker 4: I called all the hospitals in the area, and he
Speaker 4: wasn't there. I called the police and filed a missing
Speaker 4: person's report, and you know what they told me. They
Speaker 4: told me my boyfriend did not exist. So not only
Speaker 4: did my boyfriend ghost me by faking his own death,
Speaker 4: he also had lied to me for two years about
Speaker 4: his real identity.
Speaker 2: Hello, I stumbag was married.
Speaker 7: I called it.
Speaker 1: Afterwards, the Internet found out the guy's real name, tracked
Speaker 1: down his social media within two hours, and started commenting
Speaker 1: on his wedding photos asking him to be fired from
Speaker 1: his job. It's an insane story, but I wanted to
Speaker 1: hear from some of our listeners too, because I know
Speaker 1: that they probably have some insane dating stories and let
Speaker 1: them vent about the crazy ways that they've been ghosted
Speaker 1: in the past.
Speaker 2: Or ghosted themselves. Yeah, maybe they were the ghoster.
Speaker 1: Either way, can we welcome all sorts of ghosts here.

Speaker 8: years ago.

Speaker 8: ghosted me and it was like kind.
Speaker 7: Of late August.

Speaker 8: I was in college at the time, and turns out
Speaker 8: he was my professor.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 5: Oh man, Well, I mean maybe he got his class
Speaker 5: list and he saw your name and he's like, oh,
Speaker 5: can't mix.
Speaker 2: No, probably not.
Speaker 8: Well, he clearly didn't plan ahead because I was in
Speaker 8: her class and it was super awkward.

Speaker 6: shut up the entire movie, like you get whispering to
Speaker 6: me and like asking me questions, and I was like,
Speaker 6: I don't know, I haven't seen the movie either. The
Speaker 6: absolute final straw was when she pulled out her phone
Speaker 6: in the middle of the movie to google the end
Speaker 6: of the movie and started telling.
Speaker 5: Me one of those people she was rooting in the
Speaker 5: end of the movie, that's that's messed up.

Speaker 7: ten days I've been trying to contact him, like ten
Speaker 7: I was like, what's going on? What's going on? Like,
Speaker 7: I don't know where to find him? So then I
Speaker 7: decided after ten days, okay, this is really weird. Yes,
Speaker 7: I go to his apartment and then I find out
Speaker 7: through his roommate that he moved to London.
Speaker 2: What what his roommate tells you that he moved to London?
Speaker 7: Yeah, he moved to London. Old ties with me blocked

Speaker 3: Yeah, so my ex and I we were down on
Speaker 3: the Caribbean at the beach, supposedly having a nice vacation.
Speaker 2: Well, hello, this all sounds great to me so far.
Speaker 3: I honestly can't remember who started the fight because we
Speaker 3: had a bunch of rum by that point. Well, we've
Speaker 3: been there, so the fight was over. Like you're checking
Speaker 3: out this person, No, you're checking out this person. So
Speaker 3: like she was saying, I was looking at some other girls.
Speaker 1: But it was a word fight. That's good to clear.
Speaker 1: I didn't want to say anything. I don't know who started.
Speaker 3: The other way that I should have led with that.
Speaker 7: Thank you.
Speaker 1: Okay, So you guys were arguing, correct, correct?
Speaker 5: Good.
Speaker 3: So she says, fine, Well I'm going to go back
Speaker 3: to the hotel and fine, I'll see you there. So
Speaker 3: a couple of hours later, a couple more drinks later,
Speaker 3: I go to the hotel room and all my stuff
Speaker 3: is there, but all of her stuff is gone. She
Speaker 3: had used some hotel stationery. You know they got the
Speaker 3: pen in the paper there by the ball. Yeah. She
Speaker 3: writes me a note that says I got a flight
Speaker 3: home and I left with the guy from the beach.
Speaker 3: I don't know if that is true or not. I'm
Speaker 3: guessing she took a flight home, but it was the
Speaker 3: last time I ever saw was walking away on the
Speaker 3: sunny stands. Look make poor guy from the beach.
Speaker 1: He's like, wait, where are we taking?
Speaker 2: I don't get napped. I mean, if you're going to
Speaker 2: get your heart broken, it's a good setting. Yeah, that's
Speaker 2: where you do it.
Speaker 1: All right, I think we might have time for one more.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Mary Anne. Tell us your craziest ghosting story.
Speaker 9: Hi, Okay, I was offered two jobs, and one was
Speaker 9: a great job in the same town where my boyfriend
Speaker 9: of three years lived three years, and then the other was.
Speaker 8: A less great job. It was a fine job, but
Speaker 8: it was in my dream city.
Speaker 5: So you're obviously picking the one where your boyfriend lives, right.
Speaker 2: The great job in the city city.
Speaker 8: I mean, it was my dream city, so I mean
Speaker 8: I did, like think about it. I had a hard
Speaker 8: time deciding, and I asked my boyfriend, of course, and
Speaker 8: he ended up kind of gently nudging me to take
Speaker 8: job number one so I could, you know, be in
Speaker 8: the same town that he was in. Yeah, And then
Speaker 8: the morning after I accepted.
Speaker 9: I woke up to him gone, just gone, everything gone,
Speaker 9: out of the apartment, totally ghosted.
Speaker 2: What No, I just made a life decision. Wait, you
Speaker 2: made a life decision based on him and he.
Speaker 9: Left, Yeah, like just out of nowhere, and I had
Speaker 9: no idea what happened. Finally, eight months go by. Eight
Speaker 9: months and one of his friends finally told me that
Speaker 9: he took a job in my green city.
Speaker 2: So he just didn't want you to live there.
Speaker 9: I guess he like planned the whole thing out and
Speaker 9: wanted it to be like a just a clean break.
Speaker 8: I guess she was.
Speaker 2: He was, and you said, I got this job in
Speaker 2: the same city you're going.
Speaker 1: To move to, and he was like, don't do that.
Speaker 1: I feel like he's the one that took your other job.
Speaker 5: Don't take that one.
