Craig is on the phone today for a first date follow-up, and he's getting ghosted by a woman named Serena. So in a few minutes, we'll call her and see if she'll tell us why she's ghosting him and maybe get him a second date. But first, Craig, how long has it been since you heard from Serena? Yeah, it's been about five days.

Okay. Not too bad. How many times did you hit her up? Just a couple, you know, like I'd send her a text and then I kind of followed up. My usual is like an upside down smiley face emoji. I tried calling her, but yeah, nothing. Okay. Uh-oh.

Well, why don't you tell us about the date? Yeah, so it was great. We went to this like super chill indie bookstore cafe kind of thing. Yeah, it was really nice. I had like live music in the back, they had candles on the table. it was super low-key just like really perfect for what we were trying to you know what the day was trying to be what I was trying to make it romantic yeah it was very romantic yeah nobody was yelling uh in this place so that was nice um yeah and then you know what we talked about you know we talked about like everything most underrated cartoons

uh weird family tradition she uh actually told me that she celebrated her childhood stuffed animals birthday every year, which I thought was super interesting. Very interesting. And I admitted to her that I once cried during a dog food commercial. So, yeah, it was a solid, really solid day. Definitely felt a vibe with her. I really felt like we got each other. I walked her to her car at the end of the night.

And she, you know, she even said she wanted to see me again. So. Oh, she did? Did you guys kiss or have any kind of intimate moments? No, nothing to. Nothing like that.

You know, I kept a bit professional. But, yeah, like it felt like a good exit. Okay. Why do you think she might be ghosting you? Um,

I don't know. I might have made like a dumb joke at the end of the night. And, you know, I offered her a mint and said something like, Hope you're not doing anything for the next 48 hours and then pretended the meant was like laced with something. That's a terrible joke. Yeah, I maybe wouldn't joke about that.

On a first date, that's a really bad joke. Yeah. Pretended you drug to her. Yeah. We'll see if that is the thing that did it. We'll play a song, come back, and then call her and see if she'll tell us why she's ghosting you and maybe get you a second date if you still want one, okay? Cool. All right.

Thank you guys. Appreciate it. We'll get your first day follow up. Right after this, it's The Jubal Show. If you're just joining us for today's first day follow-up, Craig is on the phone and he's getting ghosted by Serena. So 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 first, Craig, why don't you recap your date for us again real quick? Yeah, so it was a great date.

We went to a really romantic place. We had great conversation, but at the end of the date, I made a stupid joke about drugs. hugging her with a mint that I totally regret making. And now I am getting basically guessed it. She is not calling me back. So, or texting me back. All right. Are you ready for us to give her a call?

Yep, I'm ready. I'm ready for whatever happens. Okay. Okay. Here we go. Hello. Hi, may I speak to Serena, please? This is she.

Hey, Serena, how are you? This is a radio show. It's called The Jubal Show. Hi, Serena. I'm Nina. Hi, I'm Victoria. And my name's Jubal. What's going on? I don't know. What is going on?

Not much. That's fair question. Have you ever listened to the show before? No. No? Okay. Well, we do a segment on the show that's called the first date follow-up. That's where if you go on a date with somebody and you end up ghosting them, that person can email us to get you on the phone and ask why you're ghosting. And we got an email about you. Are you ghosting somebody?

I did go out with a guy named Craig recently. Okay. Is that who wrote to you? Yes, it is Craig. He emailed us. We talked to him a little bit about your date. He really liked you. And he's wondering why you're ghosting him.

So we thought we'd call and ask if you wouldn't mind telling us. Okay. Sure. Well, the date was lovely, but what I saw at the end of the date kind of like freaked me out. And, um, you say what you saw? Well, I, okay, I, it was a good time. Honestly, I wasn't expecting to like him as much as I did. Like, we clicked.

We had a really nice time. Like he's quirky, but he's charming. And then near the end of the night, we're standing by my car and he wants to show me a picture of him with elephants in Thailand. Okay. And so he hands me his phone and says, you know, here's me with the elephants. and I swiped to see more pictures and I swiped too far

So that's when I saw Just like endless bathroom selfies Oh, okay He kept shirtless in different bathrooms Doing like Look how hot I am poses Oh And some had towel action

And some did not have towel action which, you know, like, I did not mean to do that. But you kept swiping. What are you doing with this many photos and who are you sending them to? Like, nobody should have that many naked photos of themselves on their phone. Yeah. Oh. It was a lot.

Okay. And that's the reason you're ghosting him? Yeah. Okay. All right. Thank you for telling us. I wonder why he has so many. You wonder that too, Serene, I'm sure.

Yeah. Like I said, it was just a lot. towel, no towel. I just like, who is he sending those to? Like, why do you need so many? We should ask him. Oh, gosh. And Serena, he's actually on the phone right now and wants to talk to you.

So we should just ask. I can just jump in. So that's why you ghosted me. You're ghosting me because of selfies. Yeah, cool. So you're on this call too. Right. Yeah.

So you're saying, you don't like what you saw. Like is that, is that why you're ghosting? You're just like not attracted to me naked? That has nothing to do it. I mean, that's your takeaway. Like that was a lot of photos, man. Like, who are you sending those two? That's weird.

Sometimes I just need to remind myself that I'm hot now. Like I was overweight growing up and now I look good. So I like to see it. Like, whenever I see an angle I take like, like I like it. I mean, I like taking photos of myself. Do you send those to people? I mean, I'll send them sometimes if it's, like, appropriate. So it's just to admire yourself?

Yeah, it's just for me. And then, like, just in case I need one ready to send to somebody like you. Okay. You can save your photos for your, like, scrolling. I'm not interested in them or in seeing anyone who, like, admires himself that much. That was just a lot for me. What?

Like, you don't want to date somebody with confidence? I'm confident. Like, that's just me being confident. That's great. I'm glad you feel good about yourself now, but that doesn't change the fact that you'll take longer than me in the bathroom

because you're trying to get the right angle of your little friend. It's not little. Hey, Serena, would you like another date with Craig? We'll pay for it. it. Thank you, but I'm good.

At least he's owning it. You know what I mean? He's not like trying to play it off. Like if you didn't see those, Serena, would you want to go on a date with him? Probably, but like I know what I know now. I mean, Serena, like I really hope that you change your mind.

Like, I really like you. I really had a great time on our date. I'm sorry for the dumb jokes that I made. I'm sorry that I take so many selfies of myself. But like, I really, really like you. as much as I like me. I really like you. Well, I will take that as a compliment because obviously I know how much like you like you,

but I think this, like in the radio and the selfies, I just, this is a little too much for me. So I think this is over now. Hey, guys, can I just email you a picture, a couple, like a few pictures, so you can tell me if they're good or not? Yes. Absolutely. Yes.

Go ahead. See, they want to see them. That's fine. Number one hits, millions of records sold, awards, sold out tours. You think that Jonas Brothers are satisfied? Nope, it's podcast time. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Hey Jonas is available now, and their first guest is a big one.

Paul Rudd. You know, Steve Carell is a great singer. Can you tell you not to audition at the office or something? I told him. Whoa. We were filming Anchorman. Clearly, I was the idiot. Thank God he didn't listen to me, right?

Your 20s can be so exciting, but they can also be really overwhelming, confusing, and honestly, just kind of lonely. May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and the psychology of your 20s is breaking down the science behind the biggest roadblocks we face. I was six years into my career, the 80-hour weeks, and just the first one in, the last one out, and I ended up burning out. There was a large chunk of my 20s that I, like, was just so wanting to, like, be out of that phase out of my skin. And I just, like, really regret not living in the present more. You don't need to have everything figured out right now.

You just need to understand yourself a little bit better. Listen to the psychology of your 20s on the IHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
