It's been three weeks since their date And according to her email she's heard Nothing So Charity thank you for listening to the show Thank you for your email Hope we can get you another date Hey yeah no I'm not actually like a listener But my friend told me about the Jew ball show

So I just thought I would reach out Well cool Hey, yeah. No, I'm not actually like a listener, but my friend told me about the Jubal show, so I just thought I would reach out. Well, cool. I'm glad you reached out to the Jubal show. We love the Jubal show. My name is pronounced Jubal, but it doesn't matter. It's fine. It's the Jubal show.

I'm so sorry. No, it's fine. It happens all the time. Can you say it one more time because I think I'm confused now? Yeah. It's Jubal. Kind of like you're puking. Jubal. Jubal. That's how you say it one more time? Because I think I'm confused now. Yeah. It's Jubal. Like, kind of like you're puking. Jubal.

Okay. Jubal. That's how you say it. That's how I've described it to people, if you don't know how to say it. It's sort of like you puke it. Right. Jubal. Jubal.

I can't get what you mean. Yeah, no, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to mispronounce it. Trust me, I'm not offended at all. I just coached my nine-year-old stepson's flag football with another dude. That guy called me Jubal the whole time. I never corrected him. So for weeks he's calling me Jabal.

I don't really care. Did you finally correct him? Nope. Yeah, it was weird. I'm like, why didn't you? I don't care. The kids were trying to. Yeah, the kids were like, his name's not Jabal, it's Jubal.

I'm like, whatever, kid, don't worry about it. Anyway, it's not about Jubal. It's about charity right now. And you said you went out with a dude named Mark and he hasn't called you back in three weeks. How many times have you tried to reach out to him in those three weeks? I mean, I texted him three times, like only once a week. So let it don't seem like too crazy. But I did think about this a lot.

So like maybe I am crazy. I don't know. Okay. And what did you guys do for the date i mean we went to dinner it was amazing i mean it was the best date i've ever been on we talked about family and retirement which is funny because we're both in our 30s so there's a long way to go but the date was incredible okay incredible for you or incredible incredible for both of you i mean i thought it was good for both of us, which is why I'm confused.

Is there any reason why you think that he's not calling you back? Well, honestly, I think I offended him. How? Were you calling the wrong name? His name's Mark. I don't know how you got that one wrong. Mac? No.

No, I'm actually really health conscious. And at the moment, I'm trying to limit my sugar intake. But after dinner, we went out for ice cream and to go on a walk. And at the time, I didn't say I don't need ice cream because it seemed like the perfect way to end an amazing night. But when I told him I didn't want ice cream when we got to the stand, he looked really upset. Really? I mean, that would kind of upset me if someone didn't want ice cream. Really? It would just be awkward at that point.

Yeah. Just to let loose for one night? I don't know. I mean, I feel bad a lot because I don't really like sweets. I do like a little taste here and there of sweets, but I feel bad. Alex and I are married, if you didn't know that, but she wants to get dessert. I like to get dessert, right? Yeah. I don't necessarily want to eat it, but I love the act of getting dessert. Right. But I also want to

enjoy the cheesecake with her, so I'll have a bite of cheesecake and also lactose intolerant not a good idea but either way i do feel bad sometimes so but but to get mad about that it seems kind of weird get mad well i mean like he just it was more of a his just whole mood change like he was just ice cold after that and it just sucks because i feel like if that's what offended him like i've been really diligent about my routine and i could have like explained that like this has been a long-term thing and i've had a lot of success i don't know i just would have liked a chance to like explain myself okay other than the ice cream is there anything else that you did wrong on that on your date i don't know if necessarily i mean no i mean i thought like i said i thought it was a great date i thought we had a lot of fun.

He seemed really interesting. He seemed interested in me until like we got to the ice cream. And then I was just like, oh, it fell off. Well, that's a weird deal breaker to have. But I just really need you to help me because I think this guy is perfect for me. And I had such a good time. So how did the date end? Well, I mean, he gave me a hug and we went to our cars and that was that.

I mean, nothing about a second date, nothing about how much he enjoyed the date, nothing. So like, I mean, I'm just, yeah, the end was, I don't know. Did he initiate the hug? Yeah, he did. Okay. That's not great. Oh. Yeah.

Something happened. And it sounds like, and the only thing you can think of is that you didn't want ice cream. That's it. Okay. All right. Well, we'll play a song, come back and then call him and see if that is the problem. And if we can get you another date next. Okay.

Okay. All right. Right in the middle of today's first date follow up. If you're just joining us, Charity is on the phone and Charity went out with a dude named Mark and she said it was one of the best dates of her life. She had a great time, and she doesn't understand why it's been three weeks, and she hasn't heard anything from him. The only reason that Charity can think that she's not getting a call back is that they went for ice cream after, and Charity's been working out and trying to eat right, all that stuff, so she didn't really want the sugar,

didn't want any ice cream, and that's when his mood changed, and he seemed really cold. She thinks that not ordering ice cream is the reason when his mood changed and he seemed really cold she thinks that not ordering ice cream is the reason he's not calling back so we're about to get him on the phone and see if we can figure out the scoop yes i just dropped the mic should we see what you did there thank you um all right charity are you ready to call him and see if that is the reason not calling back yeah i'm honestly i'm just hoping you guys can get me another date and I really liked him. So I'm just fingers crossed. All right. Well, here we go. I'm going to dial this phone number.

Hello? Hi, may I speak to Mark, please? Hello? Hi, may I speak to Mark, please? This is Mark. Hi, Mark. My name's Jubal. My name's Alex. My name is English Evan.

I'm Christian Gray-Snow. And this is a radio show called The Jubal Show. Oh, okay. All right. Yeah. How can I help you guys? You've heard of the show before? Yeah.

Don't you pick for other contests or something? No. Well, yeah, not really. So if you've heard the show before, have you heard of a first date follow-up? Have you ever heard one of the first date follow-ups? Yeah. So you already know that's a segment that we do where if you ghost somebody, they can email us and then we can get you on the phone and go, hey, what happened?

Why did you ghost? Let's say their name's Charity, for example. Why'd you ghost Charity? Oh, yep, yep, Charity. Yeah, so like, let's say, I don't know. I'm gonna do another hypothetical. Let's say your name was Mark and you were on the phone with us

and it's been three weeks since you reached out to a girl named Charity who you went on a date with, we'd call you and ask why. That's the kind of segment I'm talking about. So why aren't you calling Charity back? Okay, yeah. Charity, alright. This is weird. Okay.

If you want me to be completely honest, she was boring as hell. It was like watching paint dry. You said boring? Boring. It was like watching paint dry. Oh. You said boring? Boring. Yeah. Like, so freaking boring. That's kind of rude.

It was like talking to a wall. We talked to her. She didn't sound super boring, but it's hard to tell. She also said that the date was like the best date she's ever been on. And she thinks the reason you're not calling her back is because she didn't want ice cream. Oh, my. Oh, my. I knew that was going to be a thing i knew it was gonna be a thing okay so yes that was like the the like it wasn't just that but it was just like everything on top of that okay so we had dinner and she was just so freaking dull and then when she didn't want the ice cream i was just like okay you know what like

this is so ridiculous she had no personality and so like i just ghosted her because i didn't want the ice cream, I was just like, okay, you know what? Like, this is so ridiculous. She had no personality. And so, like, I just ghosted her because I didn't want to waste my time. And I didn't want to waste her time either, you know? But it was just like, I just don't see this going anywhere. She's the most boring date I've ever had. Wow, dang. I mean, my gosh. So it wasn't just the ice cream, but she was a little too vanilla for you.

Yeah, it was, was like just so dull. Like there was nothing to her. I have a question, Mark. If the date was so boring, why did you ask her to go to ice cream after? Because I was trying to save it. I was like, well, if this date's going to go south, I'm at least going to get some ice cream. That's funny. He's a smart guy.

Yeah. All right. Well, thanks for being honest some ice cream. That's smart. He's a smart guy. Yeah. All right. Well, thanks for being honest. I appreciate it. I don't know if Tiffany or right. No charity. I don't know if charity would appreciate it, but either way, you don't even remember her name.

Oh my God. Charity is actually on the phone listening and wants to talk to you. Oh, you think I'm boring? You didn't talk for the entire date. Mark, I'm not boring. I feel like this is the best date you've ever been on. I'm scared to think about how your other dates have been. If this was your best date, how bad were your other dates?

I don't understand because we were speaking about family. We were laughing. I had an amazing time. What are you talking about? I asked about your family and you were like, yeah, mine's good. And that was it. And like you said nothing else. You just like looked at me.

You're like, yeah, that's it. And then you just stared at me. I was like, okay. And that's like every conversation that we had. Like I'm not even surprised you didn't want ice cream because ice cream's fun and you're absolutely not. Well, then she ended up not getting ice cream. Oh, my gosh. Okay, I can be fun.

You can be? Yeah, like, no, I was responding. I just, like, sometimes I get nervous and I thought I was talking enough. I also worried that, like, I was over-talking and then, like, maybe I just didn't, like... No, over-talking is, like, the least of your problems, all right? Like, you did not engage at all. I mean, maybe that's true, but like, I was trying. No, there's no name charity.

Like, you were just like, yep, uh-huh, mine's good. Yep, like that's it. Okay. Maybe she was just listening to you. Yeah, she's an avid listener. A good listener. She's not listening now because I'm trying to give her a hint. She's not picking it up.

Maybe she wasn't not talking. Maybe you were just talking too much. I was asking questions the whole time. I was like, so tell me about your work. And she's like, yeah, it is what it is. See, I'll give you like the perfect example. Hey, Charity, are you there?

Yeah. Okay, did you not hear like the thought processing, processing, the answer, and then the awkward silence? That's how the entire conversation was. See, it's been a few minutes, and she hasn't even said a word. I forgot she was already there. Well, gee, who can get a word in edgewise when you won't shut up? I got the point, dude. I heard you. I was like, I'm just going to, like, spare her of this, and I'm was going to be nice and not talk to you.

I'm just going to spare her of this and I'm not going to call her. And then you keep texting me. Then all you have to do is respond and just let her know that you're not interested. Little communication goes a long way, Mark. You're right. You're right. You know what? I should have just called her up

on a radio show and pulled her all out on public. I think so. I also want to ask you, Mark, would you? No. Okay. Hold on, Mark. You don't even know what to say. Would you like?

No. I already know what you're going to say. The answer is no. No. Okay, Mark, can I just say it, please? Would you like to go on another date with Charity? We'll pay for it. Okay. You know what? You know what? You know please? Would you like to go on another date with Charity? We'll pay for it. Okay, you know what?

You know what? You know what? Fine, I'll do one more date. Really? No! Right! Yes, you're right. You are a total jerk.

Please, man. All right, so, Charity, I'm sorry that you didn't get another date. It sounds like you're going to be better off, though. Yeah. You'll find somebody who doesn't think you're boring. Honestly, like, sorry to, I feel bad. I wasted your guys' time and you turned out

to be kind of an ass. It wasn't a waste of time? I probably should have said more during our date, but like... It's all good. You guys aren't meant to be. It's fine.

You'll find someone who likes the way that you communicate, whether you're saying words or saying nothing at all. Well, I mean, like, at least I found the Jabal show,

so... Yes, you did. So check out the Jabal show and thank you for your email and now you can be a I found the Jubal show. So I got something good to listen to. Yes, you did.
