Drake is on the phone today for a first date follow-up and he's being ghosted by a woman named Shelly. What's up, Eric? How are you? I'm good. How are y'all? Not too bad, man. Thank you for agreeing to do the first date follow-up.

Tell us a little bit about Shelly. Yeah. So Shelly and I, we've run into each other quite a few times at the same little dive bar. We both work nights. So, you know, kind of chit-chat a little bit. And I finally got the courage to ask her on a real date, not just cheap beers at the dive bar. Good job, Eric. Tell us about your date then.

So I got reservations at a pretty nice place. And we both the funny thing is we ran into each other at the bar dressed for it. We didn't even plan that. But, you know, made a good first impression. Right. So you were dressed to go to a different place? Is that what you meant? Yeah, like, so it was like, hey, get the nerves, the jitters out a little bit, go grab a drink

at the dive bar before the date, and she must have had the same idea. So we both showed up in our date clothes, and the dive bar was actually kind of funny. That's awesome. Okay, so then at that point, did you guys walk over to the fancy restaurant together or what happened next um i mean we drove it was a little bit of a waste but yeah we did we uh we drove over there and i mean i thought date went great like conversation was great uh we both have some strong opinions on stuff so getting to know each other was pretty easy there was none of that awkward silence where you're just like staring at each other, trying to figure out what to say next.

I thought it flowed pretty damn well. We found out we're both big film nerds. She's a big sci-fi geek and I'm a horror movie guy. So I'm a manager at a movie theater. So in the course of our conversation, I mentioned that I collect movie stuff and she was like, well, I wouldn't mind seeing that. You know, so went and showed her. Wait, at your house? Yeah. You know, it went well.

After dinner, she seemed interested in seeing the collection. Okay. Okay. Smooth line. Yeah. All right. I mean, hey, it worked, right? We did.

We had some fun. We watched a movie. And then after that had uh we we hooked up okay but i haven't heard from her since no text no nothing she hasn't been back to the bar like straight ghost oh okay was it not to get too personal but like was your fun good it was super hot like she's hot the sex awesome. Like top five for me. Definitely. Wow.

So yeah, yeah, I don't get it. That sounds like she definitely was enjoying herself. Then why do you think you're getting ghosted? That's it. I don't know. I hope it wasn't something like I said,

we had some strong opinions on a few of the things we talked about, but I didn't think anything that would offend her. And you wouldn't, you know, you wouldn't have thought that that would have stopped her from coming over if she was offended during the dinner conversation. So you said you had strong opinions. Was there any time on the date where you guys kind of argued or you think

maybe you said something that was offensive in a way? I mean, we were talking about horror movies and I mentioned that Freddy Krueger, Nightmare on Elm Street, that series, you know, he's my favorite slasher and she was kind of like, that stuff is ridiculous. I don't know how any adult or how any grown up could watch that or whatever. And I was

like, oh, come on. You know, I mean, we kind of got into it about that. I did make a comment that Star Wars was better than Star Trek. And, you know, when we were talking about the sci-fi and crime movies, she didn't seem to like that very much either. So maybe it's one of those things. I mean, I hope not. I mean, could she have also just have gotten what she kind of wanted out of the situation?

Maybe. I hope not. I'd like to see her again. She is, I've already mentioned a couple of times, she's great in bed. But the conversation was great. She seems super nice. She's smart. She hope not. I'd like to see her again. I've already mentioned a couple times she's great in bed, but the conversation was great. She seems super nice. She's smart. She's funny. So, yeah, I want this to be more than just a one-time thing. I don't know if you've ever had where you just click with somebody. You get that feeling where it's like, man, I want to, you know, this person gets me.

I feel like I'm vibing with her, it just felt deeper than a one time hook up. Alright, well we'll see if we can figure it out for you. Then we'll play a song, come back and then call her and see if she'll tell us why she's ghosting you and ask her if she'll go on another date with you if you still want one after you hear the reason, okay? Alright, sounds good. Thank you.

If you're just joining us for today's first day of follow up Eric is on the phone and he's getting ghosted by a woman named Shelly. And it might be because he thinks Freddy Krueger is the best movie slasher of all time. Eric, hey, before we call her to try to get you another date and find out why you're getting ghosted, refresh everybody's memory about your date with Shelly. Yeah, so we went to a nice restaurant. To back it up a little bit, we had a few drinks as acquaintances at this local dive bar. Went on a real date.

I thought we hit it off. Great conversation. She came back to my place. We had some fun, if you know what I'm saying. And ever since we hooked up, I've not heard from her. And that sucks because I really liked her. And it's weird she hasn't been to the bar either that you guys met at.

I mean, that makes me a little bit nervous. Like, it's really bad because to give up your own dive bar. Okay, I'm going to call her right now. Okay, here we go. Hello? Hi, may I speak to Shelly, please this is shelly who's this shelly hi how are you my name is jubal from a radio show called the jubal show hi shelly my name is nina i'm on that show too and i'm victoria i'm also she's also on the show there's three people on the phone hi

how are you okay um i'm'm confused. Yeah. Fair. So we do a segment on our show called the First Date Follow-Up. That's where if you go out on a date with somebody and then end up ghosting them, that person can ask us to get you on the phone and find out why. Now, I think I know exactly who you're talking about. Like, it's Eric. We went on a date and I haven't reached back out to him. So, I mean, it has to be him. Yes, it is Eric. We went on a date and I haven't reached back out to him. So, I mean, it has to be him.

Yes, it is Eric. What happened? Honestly, like at first things were really great and I was really into it. Like he's really cute and the dinner seemed really nice and expensive and, you know, it was great conversation and the night was really great like the first part of the day was amazing and then we got to his place and he told me that he was a horror fan but he's not just like a horror fan he's a horror nut his place was nice and all and it wasn't like cluttered but it was wall to wall nothing but horror posters and guts and gore and memorabilia. Wait, so you hooked up with him anyway? Sorry, he told us that part too.

Oh God. I mean, well, the sex was great. Like honestly, that was phenomenal. Like some of the best sex I've ever had. Wow. He said the same thing. I don't know. It's just like there,

it was just too much. Like even like the sex was great, but like there was literally a Chucky doll staring at us. Like, that's not the first thing I want to see after having sex with somebody. What? Cause she was scared? And then after the sex,

like we even stayed. And again, we watched a horror movie, of course. And it was just like, I don't know if I could handle that. Like, I literally felt scared by the end of it, and I was kind of scared going home. And I was kind of scared to go back to the bar that, like, I usually hang out with before I see him all the time. Are you scared of him?

Like, what part is scary to go back, like, to the bar? I mean, I understand the horror memorabilia, but. I don't know. I guess it's just like the whole house has constant everything. And Corey's got like this giant skeleton that like sits in his living room that he like talks to. And his name is Jeff. And like he thinks that's really funny. Yeah, he thinks like his skeleton is so funny.

And his name is Jeff. And he like makes jokes. i i don't know it was just like kind of creepy but i was like going with it i don't know i just feel like it's a little bit too much and it's kind of seriously like if you're that into it it's like what if you want to do that kind of stuff in real life and i'm like i don't want to be like a victim like i don't know it just freaked me out yeah started to spiral down that hole of don't want to be like a victim like I don't know it just freaked me out yeah started to spiral down that hole of don't chop me up because I get that it was like honestly the most interesting and memorable first date I've ever been on thank you for being honest with us I appreciate that no yeah no problem I don't I mean I'm happy to you know say but I just definitely got really

freaked out all right well i also need to let you know that eric is on the phone he's been listening this whole time and wants to talk to you oh no shelly do you think i'm a murderer i don't there's just a lot of you know scary stuff in your house in your house and you know it's kind of scary. It's all pudding. I mean, it's movie stuff. It's goofy. It's campy. I mean, I really, really am sorry. I had a great time with you.

And I live there, so I don't think about it. Hearing you describe it, I get it. I get how that can look through someone else's eyes. I promise I'm not a psycho. I'm just a horror dork. And I'll be totally honest. I completely forgot Chucky was there. So my grandmother actually gave me that Chucky doll when I was a kid, and that's sort of what started my love of horror movies when I was about that age.

So that was actually a gift from my grandma, and so I just kind of keep it up in there. But, I mean, I can see how it could be creepy. I think that's kind of sweet, though. I know. I was like, I kind of think that's sweet. And now I get it. Like, you know, like that's kind of what got me into my love for sci-fi. I was like, my grandpa was really into sci-fi.

We used to watch Star Trek together. I'm sorry. I feel bad for saying something about Chucky now. I get it. And I know you were not happy when I said that Star Wars is better than Star Trek. I was hoping it wasn't that. I was hoping that wasn't what ran you off. I will dig my heels in on this.

Jeff is hilarious. I will stand behind that. Who's Jeff? I didn't know you guys had another guy on your date. That's the life-size skeleton in his living room that literally takes him an entire chair. He is not hilarious. He is weird and creepy and too big and does not belong in a living room. Oh, you're killing me.

Jeff is the best. Right, Jeff? Oh, you're killing me. Jeff is the best. Right, Jeff? Oh, you know I am. If I never heard that Jeff voice again, it would be too soon. Look, Chucky can get a pass, but Jeff is no. No excuses for Jeff. Oh, come on, Shelly. You know I'm great.

You know you love me. Don't tell a fibula. I think that was a quality fibula joke. I haven't heard one in a while. That was definitely a first for me. No, the bone jokes are terrible. No, they need to stop. I can't.

See, I can't do bone jokes with Jeff. Shelly, I think I'm kind of sick. I believe I have a femur. You're ridiculous. Shelly, would you like to go on another date with Eric and his skeleton buddy, Jeff? We'll pay for it. I don't know.

Like, Jeff, you are so cute, and the sex was so good, and I had so much fun on the date. Wait, you said Jeff. Oh. See, you just can't get Jeff off your mind now, can you? It has to be the bone, right? I meant Eric. You know what? Yes, fine.

Yes. You will? Yes. I'm laughing enough to realize that you're obviously not a murderer. Shelly, thank you so much. I really do like you and I promise you have my word. No Jeff voice

and I'll even put him in the closet next time you come over if you want. Okay, you got a deal there. Whoever thought they were going to make a deal to go on a date. I'll keep my bones in the closet for you, girl. Jubal's First Date Follow-Up. The Jubal Show on demand. Hey, everyone. It's Katie Couric. Well, the election is in the homestretch,
