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 another date if he still wants one. But first, Ethan, how long has it been since you heard from you? Yeah. Oh, man. It's been a minute. Like I just, I don't know what's going on. Like, it's been like, you know, a week or so. So I'm kind of nervous about all this.

Like, I don't know what the problem could be. Okay. Well, was the date good? How did that go? We went rock climbing, so it was a lot of fun. I mean, it was my idea. And, you know, she said that she liked being active. So I was like, hey,

Why not? Did you go actual rock climbing or do like a rock climbing gym? Oh, we would, we went to like a gym. Oh, okay. Still hard. Right. And like, I don't saw once, but we just laughed it off. And I thought it was, you know, just a fun way to break the ice.

Did it seem like she enjoyed it? Yeah, yeah. It's also a good way because like near death experiences are supposed to make people horny. What? Really? Yeah. I could see that. What? But did she fall, though?

I almost fell, almost died. Take me home. Just like that. But did she fall? Because if she didn't fall, then it might have been a little bit off center, you know? Maybe that, maybe that was part of it. And maybe she's just afraid to come back. But I don't know. But really, guys, like, like, she was awesome. Like, I mean, she was brilliant. Like, and we had good conversation. It wasn't just surface level. Did you guys talk while you were rock climbing? Here and there, like while we were rock climbing, we were just kind of focused on that. But afterwards, we went to a nearby smoothie bar afterwards, and that's where we did, like,

most of talking. Because, like, I mean, it was, it was for over an hour. And, you know, that was really cool. But, I mean, she just knows everything about, like, finance, which I totally don't. And, I mean, she just made it seem cool. And her smile was amazing, guys. Like, she just lit up the room. How did you guys get into a conversation about finance at smoothies?

Well, she works in finance. And so like I thought that was really cool and just kind of was like all your cars got declined. That would be a good reason to like not want a date. But yeah, like I was kind of curious. Like you so what's what's going on in the market? And she was like, oh, this has been up and that's been down. And you know, it goes up and down and up and down and all that. And it sounds like life.

But maybe he was right on that whole rock. climbing danger thing because we did share a kiss at the end of the night. What do you think could have gone wrong? Okay. So there was this one minute. It was kind of awkward when we were rock climbing. I reached for a rock as she was moving and, well, I ended up grabbing her butt. And she screamed.

And I apologize like right away. Okay. She screamed up. I mean, that's awkward. Yeah. And I keep replaying that, and I'm wondering, is that why she goes to me? Well, how did you play it off, though? So, like, did you grab it and you're like, got it?

Or, you know, or was there some other kind of, like, I don't know, how you react to something like that is kind of how you take it, you know? Yeah, well, she was obviously mortified. So I was like, oh, I was so sorry. Like, I seriously thought I was just, I reached the wrong place. I was going for a rock and I was not looking. You okay? He's like, yeah, yeah, I'm fine. All right.

Did you make any more comments about her butt? I mean, because that could also be it. Like, if you just kept talking about it, like, yeah. Well, that thing is rock hard. I thought it was like a rock, you know. Sorry about grabbing your butt there. I, listen, I almost said something by mistake. I was almost like, hey, I thought I was grabbing a rock,

but I thought real quick, I was like, oh, if I say that, that's probably not going to sound right. So let me just be like, oh. Ethan, why do you break down your date for us one more time? Yeah, so we had a lot of fun going to rock climbing. I accidentally grabbed her butt. I apologize. We went out for smoothies afterwards. Maybe she got horny from the rock climbing because we ended up with a kid.

All right. Well, here we go. I'm going to, but she's ghosting you, so we don't know why. So maybe she did it. Cold shower. I'll call it right now, okay? You ready? Yeah.

All right, here we go. Hi, May I speak to Mia, please. This is she. Hey, Mia, how are you? This is The Jubal Show. It's a radio show. Hi, Mia. I'm Nina.

Hi, I'm Victoria. And I'm Jubal. How are you doing? Oh, I've seen you guys. I've heard these on TikTok. Cool. Well, guess what? Now you're on one on TikTok and on the radio.

Oh, my gosh. I did not think that this would ever be me. Also, check out the podcast at the jubelshow.com. It's all there. It's all there. Now it's you, Mia. Yeah, we do a segment called the first aid follow-up. That's where if you go on a date with someone and end up ghosting them,

that person can email us to get you on the phone and ask why you're ghosting them. And we got an email about you. This is Ethan, right? Yes. It's about Ethan. Yeah. It is about Ethan. Okay.

So you're pretty confident about that. What happened? He's like, he's too much. I guess I'll say, look, I'm ghosting. him because honestly I couldn't stop staring at his like his business you know. Like in not a good way? You're ghosting somebody because you couldn't stop staring at something. Did you like it?

No, no, no, it's not like that. Okay. No, it's not like that, I swear. Is it out? No. Okay, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. We're laughing.

Okay. We went rock climbing, right? And you know when you go rock climbing, you wear the harness. And it kind of goes around your hips area. And it very much frames your junk. Yeah. If you have junk like that. And I get it.

The harnesses are tight. It's a safety thing. I totally understand. But for the entire date after we got down from the rock climbing wall, he kept adjusting himself. Like every five minutes, he was adjusting, moving. His hand was down there doing something. It was driving me.

crazy and I could not focus on anything else, no matter what we were talking about, because his hand has got another adjustment, another shift, another shift. And this is after the harness is off? Yes. Yes, this is after the hardest. I mean, maybe it was like super tight. I don't know what the, I don't have junk like that. So I don't know what it's like.

So it's like you were on a date with a toddler and you had to keep being like, get your hands out of your pants. Stop touching yourself. I don't say anything. You're right. Okay. Other than that, did you like him? I mean, we definitely had a good talk.

I don't, you know, sometimes, I mean, there are, I'm in like finance and there are guys who get kind of bored about that, but there's some who are into it. And some are into it too much and they try to mansplain it to me. Well, we had a good time. Yeah. I mean, he listened to what I was saying and it felt nice to be able to sort of teach someone about the stuff that I do, you know. Except you wouldn't stop adjusting himself. He just wouldn't stop adjusting himself. So sometimes I definitely would lose my train of thought.

It was, that was also embarrassing for me, because I was just don't think I could see him after that experience. You know what I mean? Well, thank you for being honest with us. I appreciate that. And Ethan is actually on the phone listening and wants to talk to you. You know, like, wait, why I, I didn't realize I was doing that. Was that bad?

You were, yes, you were, Ethan. You were doing that. It was, I don't know. I don't know. It was just a lot. I get it. Maybe the harness was tight. But.

Yeah, for sure. You know, it was just, it kept happening. Sorry, I saw. You didn't realize you were, you know, moving stuff around a lot? Yeah, I just kind of thought, like, well, if I just kind of shift a little bit, I'll be fine. But maybe every time I shifted, I was glad. I didn't know. I didn't know.

I wasn't doing it on purpose. I swear. It must have been, like, you know, just the harness. like you said. Okay. I get that, but I don't, it just, it made me uncomfortable. It made me feel kind of weird. Like, like, it couldn't stop looking.

And I know it sounds weird or silly or I don't know if it sounds superficial, but it just made me question if we should go out again, because I just didn't feel great about that, you know? I just want to be clear. So you're ghosting me because I couldn't stop adjusting my area. I mean, pretty much. It's just, I don't know. I've never had that happen.

And it just really threw me off, you know? Is there a lot to adjust? Why is it so distracting? I'm, listen, Mia, I'm a great guy aside from all the accidental adjusting. Like, we could just, listen, we could do something totally different. I could take you to a place with zero chance of awkwardness. Okay. Sorry again about the grab.

I grabbed the wrong thing. Plus, you told me. you think I'm attractive and a really good picture. So I mean, I can definitely not adjust myself in normal clothing. Okay. So that's not the norm for you. That's not how it's going to be. That's right.

Yeah. I mean, no issue. But how do you know? You didn't even know you were doing it, Ethan. How do you do this? Has nobody ever said that you adjust often before? No, nobody's ever said that. I mean, like, I guess maybe.

Maybe they'd be afraid to mention that, but I haven't noticed. Yeah, I mean, I'm paranoid. Now I want to, like, go back and look at any videos I'm in and just make sure. I mean, the harness was tight, you know, like, it was. Hey, Mia. Would you like to go on another day with Ethan will pay for it? I mean. If he promises to use duct tape or something so he doesn't have to adjust.

I feel like you have to, just to see if it's going to do it again. And maybe no, like, I don't know, like, no rock climbing, no horseback. riding, nothing like that, nothing involving that area. We can chill at like a coffee spot, something nice and like a, it can be similar to an office, like a financial office, you know? What? A financial office? I don't want to go to work.

Oh, my God, just go to dinner. Yeah, yeah, there you go. Okay, I feel like it's, you're making it pretty hard to say no. And I feel like I should give you another chance because you're right about what I said. I don't know that you had to tell everybody in the world. But yes, I had a good time and I think you're cute. And look, but seriously, if there's like, if there's one adjustment, I am out of course. All right.

Well, congratulations, you have my word. You got another date. Yay. Yay. Yay. How fun. Joubles first date follow up. Black history lives in our story.
