So in a few minutes, we'll call her and see if she'll tell her, us why she's ghosting him and maybe get him a second date. But first, Anton, how long has it been since you heard from Jade? About one week. About a week, okay. Well, tell us about it. What was the date with Jade like? Yeah, it was, it was cool.

It was cool. You know, we met up at this really, you know, low-key spot. I got like, you know, light food and some cocktails and they had cool tables. You know, so we were going to play some cool. we're just biving you know the lighting was dim music's good we're playing cool right and um it it was one of these tricky shots and you can't like get it the right way oh i was like um i was going to do it like a behind the back kind of shot you know i must have hit the wrong angle you know because it the ball just went it went flying and so it went into this um

this booth there was just other couple in this booth and it uh it knocked over this girl's drink. Okay. Yeah. So, you know, I, I felt horrible. So, you know, I go over there and, you know, I apologize. And, and, and she was, you know, she was a little upset. And, you know, understandably so.

So, you know, I bought her another drink and I bought, you know, the whole table around a shot. And I apologize. And, you know, Jade is still over there by the pool table. and she's, you know, she's looking horrified. But, you know, once I saddle everything down, I go back over to her. And she's joking around about it. You know, she called me Mr. Trickshot after that, which is, you know, I mean,

what can you do about those kinds of? You have to laugh, you know? Yeah. The whole thing was that we had chemistry. You know, we were, we had food. And, you know, neither of us are really great. It pooled me, especially, you know. And then, yeah, after the last game, we just, we hugged.

She said, yeah, I remember she said that I was unexpectedly charming, unexpectedly charming, you know, but that charming part's in there. The things that we hold on to, you know, in those moments that just make you feel so attached. You know, I'm looking for something. And she is, you know, obviously too. So today in the past couple days, and. I'm getting nothing texting back, you know. So was there, did she act weird at any point?

Like after you were confronting some lady or like? Yeah, no, I mean, I wasn't like, you know, like pulling a crack out or, you know, you know what I mean? Or like are picking my now or, and you know, no, it was, it was like a really, really solid first date. It was probably the first really great solid date I've had in a long time. And that's why I'm, you know, I'm trying to figure out like what, what the heck happened. Anton is on the phone and Anton is getting ghosted by a woman named Jade and 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 before we do that, Anton, why don't you break down your dating again for us real quick? Yeah, we went out, we played pool. We were really viking and I thought everything was going great. I made one bad shot, really, but it felt great. We, you know, we hugged afterwards. We said that, you know, we'll talk. And then I've, you know, tried to reach out a couple of times now. And I'm getting nothing.

So I'm just trying to figure out what's going on. All right. Well, are you ready for us to call her? Yeah, yeah. Okay. Hello? Hi, man, speak to Jade, please. Hey, this is Jade.

Hey, Jade, how are you? This is a radio show and it's called The Jubal Show. Hi, Jade. I'm Nina. Hi, I'm Victoria. And my name is Jubal. How are you? Hey, I'm good.

Have you ever listened to the show before? I may have. I may have. If you haven't, I'll just let you know why we're calling. We do a segment on the show and it's called the first date follow-up. So that's where if you go out on a date with somebody and they end up ghosting you, that person can email us to call you and ask why you're ghosting them. And we got an email about you from somebody.

Oh, my God. Okay. Do you know who might email us about you? I kind of have an idea. This is kind of awkward. I did go on a date recently. So. Which is name.

Yeah. I didn't want to hurt his feelings. His name's Anton. Yeah. And Anton is the person who emailed us. He said he really liked you. We talked to him a little bit about your date. And he was wondering if you wouldn't mind telling us why you're ghosting him.

Hmm. I really didn't want to hurt his feelings. I really didn't. So that's why you ghosted him? There was one big thing that happened that night. I'll be honest with you. But the biggest thing of it all was that he apologized too much. He apologized too much.

Wait, that's why you're ghosting him? Well, to me, you always hear about females saying, oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry about everything. Yeah. Don't be sorry. Like, you say sorry for the sake of paying sorry kind of thing. He did that from the beginning and up until this big event that happened. Like, even when we were ordering drinks at the bar, bartender comes over.

Oh, sorry, didn't mean to interrupt you. Like he's constantly saying, sorry. Okay. And that bothered you? You want to date somebody that's going to take a little bit of charge of a situation? I kind of get that. Yes, exactly. Like, didn't have, like, masculine trait that I was kind of thinking as well.

Well, so the place that we went, we played cool. And the big incident I was kind of mentioning was he was making a shot and it ended up hitting another table of people that were enjoying their drinks and chilling. And, yeah, so that just turned into like a bigger deal. than it had to be. He ended up even like feeling like he had to buy them a whole round of shots, replacing the drink. Like, it's just over the top.

He kind of mentioned that. I thought that was kind of a nice way to recover after you disrupt somebody's thing. I don't know if I'm being a little cheap here, but I'm like, you don't need to buy them all this stuff. It was an accident. That's why it's called an accident. Okay.

Yeah, I just felt like he was going to be like a pushover kind of vibe. Okay. I mean, that's fair. You know when you're going to bulldoze somebody. That's just not a good time. Well, thank you for telling us, Jade.

I appreciate it. And now I'll let you know that Anton is on the phone and wants to talk to you. Oh, wow. Okay. Anton? Yeah. Wait. So I'm polite.

That's a bad thing. But I'm sorry that I don't understand that if, you know, I'm being polite and being nice to people and, you know, sometimes, you know, things happen. And what are you going to do? You know, I'm sorry, but that's the way things are. Anton, you literally just said sorry again, by the way. Anton, listen, it's not bad. It's just that it's a little bit too much.

And I honestly thought you had a tick at first. He had a what? A tick. Like it's like a compulsive thing, but he had to like stay and do. And so it's not bad. It's just I can't do that. Can't be with that. What do you even, what do you even mean?

I was being polite. Okay. But what about when the drink got filled over? You look like you were kind of going to get upset about it. Like you were not only embarrassed, but you're, like you were going to cry. No, that's what I was not about to cry. That's, that's, look, she, she had an issue, and I was letting her vent, her frustration to get it out so she can feel, you know, heard about that.

Because, you know, the drink is, I caused that. You know, I spilled her drink. And that's not bad. What am I supposed to do? You know, just be a, you know, just be a, and just bit, oh, yeah, so what, you know, whatever, I'm playing pool. You stay over there. That's not what I'm about.

I'm going to be polite. That's the way I was taught. Anton, there's a difference between being polite and then being a little, a little bit of a bit of a bit of a bit. Like, you're over there feeling, I felt like you, like, you, like, you're trying to wipe up everything. You didn't ruin anyone's outfit. Like, you got to think about the big picture.

You were very, very dramatic. It's not even that you're too nice. It's just you're not confident. I don't even know. I don't even know where, how could you even say that? I mean, even, I don't know if you heard me when I was speaking with the host, but even when we ordered drinks, you're apologizing. Oh, sorry.

Like, you're a paying customer. You want to apologize for everything. You can be a paying customer and still have kindness in your heart, you know? Jade, would you like to go out with Anton again on the second day? We'll pay for it. I mean, no. What do you think? No.

There was a chance. You know, good. That's absolutely, you know, you know what this is? This is, this is, you know, like, like a, like danger avoided, okay? And you know what, Jay, I think you're going to be fine. I know you're going to be absolutely fine. I'm sure, you know, you'll find a new date with, you know, a little pug nose and a curly tail. And he probably goes, oink, oink, you know.

I didn't know where we were going there. How's this for being nice? Okay, for you, Jay, here's, I got one word for you. Boo. And you can take that to the bank and, you know, and oh, oh, I'm so sorry that I wasn't even mean enough for you. See, we're ridiculous. You don't even know. Well, I don't, yeah.
