First date follow-up.
Carl is on the phone today for a first date follow-up,
and he's not getting a call back From a woman named Ruby
But he did say
They went paintballing
Paintballing sounds fun
Paintballing is a lot of fun actually
I haven't been paintballing
In a long time
It hurts
It does hurt
Yeah
I mean you can get
You can get
Like I had a welt
One time on my collarbone
From going paintballing
Oh sure you did
Man it was messed up
Are you sure it wasn't a hickey
Well I had something
Recently pierced When I went paintballing For the first sure you did. Man, it was messed up. You sure it wasn't a hickey? Well, I had something recently
pierced when I went paintballing for the first time
that was on my chest, and
I'm not even crapping, you guys.
Like, it was right.
It hit me right there. I'm like, ah!
Like, literally, I'm like, no way.
Carl, before we get into your date and how
everything went, how are you?
I'm alright. I'm sort of
trying to figure out what happened here.
I wish I could get a text back, but other than that, I'm okay.
Well, how long has it been since your date with Ruby?
It's been about a week.
About a week.
And how many times have you tried to hit her up?
I texted her once.
I'm trying not to be that kind of guy who stalks someone with text,
so I thought she replied with a one, but she hasn't.
Just one?
Like if I do it a few times without her, it kind of gets weird, you know?
Yeah, for sure.
I agree with the one text rule as well.
If they haven't responded after one, they saw it.
Like they just chose not to respond.
Yeah, but sometimes like I read it and I forget, you know, especially if they're hustling.
Oh, really?
You know.
I'll forget a lot.
You know, I'll mean to text someone back if they text me.
And if they don't text me again, then I might not know because I do forget, you know, and I think people could.
So I think twice, three at the most, you're okay.
So you only did one text.
Yeah, maybe I should just text again.
Well, I mean, you could just text again, but then we wouldn't be able to do the segment and we really need some content for right now.
Well, she obviously didn't text back.
Yeah.
I mean, no matter what, if she was into you,
she would probably reach out to you, right?
To be fair, it did say red, so she's on it.
Oh, she just left you on red.
That's even worse.
She left you on red.
That is bad.
All right, well, what do you think went happen?
Tell us about the date.
What do you think happened?
What did you do wrong?
I mean, I thought it was pretty fun for the most part.
I did accidentally
mistake her for the enemy
and shoot her in the leg.
Yeah, actually
I was going for her head, but I'm a really bad shot.
Thank God I just got her in the leg.
Okay, well.
Did she get mad at you?
Well, I ran over real
quick and apologized. I felt too upset
actually.
You're going paintball. I felt too upset, actually. Okay, yeah.
Yeah, I wouldn't think so.
You're going paintball. Yeah, you're expected to get hit.
Yeah, like she would be an a-hole if she got mad
being hit with a paintball playing paintball.
You don't want to get hit by your friend, though.
Well, the person you're on a date with.
That's like taking the basketball
and going down to the wrong side of the court.
Yeah, I mean, I would get mad at you
for shooting me when I'm on your team
and maybe we lose the game,
but not for getting shot with a paintball.
You should expect that.
So that would surprise me.
How did everything, was that the whole date, paintballing?
Pretty much.
And she was kind of like, I don't know, quiet when we were leaving.
And I went in for it.
She wasn't really feeling it, but she did kiss me on the cheek.
Okay.
I mean, you still got a kiss on the cheek.
That's no bad.
Yeah, I thought it was something. She could have like pushed away, you know? I mean, you still got a kiss on the cheek. That's not bad. Yeah,
I thought it was something.
She could have like pushed away,
you know?
I mean,
if she's being polite,
I don't know,
but I mean,
did you guys make plans to go out again?
Uh,
no,
we didn't,
but I asked her out again in that one text
and I haven't heard back.
Yeah,
we know how the text went.
So obviously she didn't agree to the second date.
Yeah,
I guess that's pretty obvious
that she didn't text me back.
But honestly, guys, I'm just hoping you can help me out here
because she was really cool,
and I feel like it would be a real shame if we didn't get to see each other again.
I felt like there was an actual spark, you know,
and that doesn't happen all the time.
All right, yeah.
This could be the one that got away.
You tried to shoot her in the leg maker's day, but it didn't seem to work out.
Yeah, she probably traumatized me.
Yeah, I was like, what the whole time?
All right.
And so is that the only thing
you can think of
that the only reason
that you can think of
that she wouldn't call you back
because of shooting her
in the leg at paintball?
Yeah, I can't think of anything else.
I mean, she seemed like
she forgave me by the end of it.
Everything seemed okay.
She just kind of got quiet
and, you know, you know the rest of it. Okay. All right She just kind of got quiet and, you know, the rest of it.
Okay.
All right.
Well, we'll see if we can figure it out for you.
Play a song, come back, and then call her and try to find out what you did wrong, okay?
All right.
Thanks, guys.
I appreciate it.
Yeah, man.
We'll do it next.
It's the Jubal Show.
If you're just joining us for today's first date follow-up, Carl is on the phone and he
shot his first date.
He sure did.
With a paintball.
And it's been a week since their date and he hasn't heard a thing.
And he really wants to get a hold of her because he says he liked her a lot.
He's only tried to hit her up one time.
Yeah, he's only texted her once.
I mean, that is not enough for sure.
That's got to be a record.
Yeah, that's a normal guy.
The only thing that Carl can think of and the only reason Carl can think of that she would not call him back
is because he accidentally shot her in the leg with a paintball when they were playing
on the same team.
Other than that, Carl, you can't think of anything else?
Nothing, guys.
Seriously.
I've been racking my brain.
I have no idea.
I mean, to me, that's a pretty big one.
He said he was aiming for her head as well, and it's just a bad shot.
That's why she's not calling you back is because you're so bad at paintballing.
Or because you were aiming for her head. I didn't tell her that. Or because you were
aiming for her head. You didn't tell her that.
You psycho.
We're about to dial her phone right now and see if we can figure it out, okay?
Here we go.
Hello?
Hi, may I speak to Ruby, please?
This is her.
Hello, Ruby. How are you?
I'm good. Who is this?
This is The Jubal Show. My name's Jubal.
And my name is Alex.
And my name's English Evan.
And The Jubal Show is a radio show.
And we called you today because somebody emailed us about you.
About me?
Yep.
Any idea why somebody would email
a radio show about you?
I don't.
I'm interested though.
We do a segment on the show
called the First Date Follow-Up.
It's where if you go out on a date with someone
and then end up ghosting them,
they can email us to get you on the phone
and find out what happened.
And you recently went out on a date with a guy named Carl.
Oh no.
Sounds like you remember.
And Carl emailed us and told us about your date.
He also said that you're not calling him back and he's tried to text you just one time though
and you haven't responded.
So he's wondering what he did wrong.
This is so embarrassing um yeah i know i'm every day i do this i'm embarrassed it's super embarrassing so why did you ghost him we just want to know why yeah we just yeah
that's all we want to know why you're ghosting Carl. Okay.
Did you not have fun?
Do you not like to paintball?
Do you not like being shot in the leg by your own date?
Well, no, I actually found it really fun.
But I mean, it was fun and I didn't mind getting shot in the leg. It was fine.
It was unexpected, but I forgave him, and it didn't hurt.
It was kind of funny.
It was fine.
Okay.
So what's the problem then?
What's wrong with Carl?
She's stalling.
Ruby, stop stalling.
I'm sorry.
I'll stop stalling.
Okay.
Well, the main thing is this is just between us
like a one-on-one date and when we got there um he told me that I was his date for his friend's
birthday party and like he kind of just sprung it on me out of nowhere I was already there yeah
oh really and he hadn't mentioned that at all, like in any conversation beforehand?
No, I thought it was just going to be me and him.
And like, I'm an introvert.
So it kind of just like threw me off and it made me really nervous.
So are we, all three of us are really introverted.
And I would be like, what in the world?
Yeah, I wouldn't want to be there.
I don't know if it would bug me.
It probably wouldn't bother me. So not even say anything?
Nah, it wouldn't bother me, I don't think.
Really?
So surprise.
I'm an introverted person. Like I'm quiet, but I don't think really but I'm an introverted person like I'm quiet but I don't mind people right like so if I shut up and they're like hey it's my friend's
birthday party I'd be like oh cool but I wouldn't be it wouldn't be the same though it is like being
in a guy's position as it would being the woman in that I feel like it'd be different for you to
show up to a date and be like surprise it's my best friend's birthday party and all these people are here.
Kind of like nerve-wracking.
Oh, for sure.
Yeah.
Yeah, for a first date,
I could see how that would be uncomfortable.
Well, I'd just be upset because on a first date,
you're trying to really get to know someone.
Now you have to worry about getting to know their friends too.
There's a lot of pressure in that.
Yeah.
I mean, I guess I just wouldn't care
about getting to know their friends,
which is probably why people think I'm a little standoffish. So I'm like, I'm here with them.
I want to learn about them, not you. I don't care. So, okay. So the, so you were, you just felt weird
that he sort of sprung like a, like a birthday party thing on you. That was, it's kind of weird
to bring a first date to a function like that. So yeah, is that the reason why you're not calling him back or did something happen there?
Um,
no,
I mean,
that's just the reason I just felt,
yeah,
like I was kind of sprung on and,
um,
when he texted me,
I just decided not to reply.
Okay.
So you don't like having things sprung on you?
Not particularly.
Okay.
Well then I shouldn't let you know that he's on the phone listening and wants to talk to you.
Wait, what?
Yeah, wait, Carl's on the phone.
Sorry.
Oh no.
Hi.
Hi.
Listen, Ruby, I'm so sorry I sprung that on you.
I just, I kind of thought you wouldn't come if I told you.
Yeah, I mean, it just, it would have been nice to know.
Yep, that is fair.
I don't know, did you enjoy the date aside from that?
I mean, aside from being shot and it being your friend's birthday party, I did have a good time.
Okay, so
would you like to go out again?
I promise there will be
no surprises this time.
No.
No, Carl.
I can't ask that.
No.
That's what I'm supposed to do.
Yeah, take his job, Carl.
Well, I just feel like
we got a poor going
and I want to
blow the momentum.
No, Carl.
All right, I'll lay back.
Thank you, Carl.
Hey, would you like to go out on another date with Carl Ruby?
We'll pay for it.
Thanks, Carl.
I mean, I guess so.
I did have a good time.
Okay, you guess so or yes?
Yeah.
Those are two different answers.
You guess so or you yes so?
I yes so
Yes
Woo
