Evan is on the phone today for a first day follow-up, and he's getting ghosted by Ruby, 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, Evan, how long has it been since you heard from Ruby? It's been about four days. Okay, that's too bad. Yeah. Have you hit her up a bunch in that time? I did try a couple times, yeah. I don't want to over to it,

but I reached out and definitely got nothing back. Okay, and you feel like that's weird. Like, you feel like four days is a long time, did not hear from her. Yeah, we were kind of hitting it off, so it is out of the ordinary. Well, tell us about your date. Well, Ruby and I went to a rooftop bar, and, you know, it had the best view of the city. It was her idea, actually.

It was super cool, you know. Can't really beat it for a first day. It's just a great place. Grabed drinks. shared a charcutory board and you know our conversation was just really easy

natural the vibe was laid back and plenty of kind of flirty moments she's hilarious you know we're making each other laugh the whole night and they were just barked you know the kind you can't fake

we ended up taking a walk after and because we were both a little buzzed and before we said good night. There were a few kisses, and, yeah, you know, it's just the kind of date you never want to stop. Okay. Well, why do you think you're getting ghosted then?

Honestly, really confused. You know, we were texting nonstop for two days after, so things, you know, they felt promising, and then nothing. It just stopped. So, wait, you went on the date and you ended up hearing from her after the date. Yeah. After the day for about two days. And then it stopped.

Right. Could it be something you texted? Um, I don't think so. I mean, I don't think it was. I did text her a pick of me, like, in the bathroom with a towel on as a tease. Like, I thought it would be harmless. That may have been it. Okay.

Is that the last time you heard from her? Um, I believe so. Oh, I'd be tripping if I got ghosted after that. She was teasing me about having abs. So I just decided to show her, you know. I don't know, maybe it was too much. It wasn't like an pick or anything, you know. Do you have abs or were you, like, joking around being like, check out mine, but you don't have them, you know?

I have abs. Yeah. I mean, just wanted to prove myself. Okay. That could be it. So was a selfie? Yeah. I mean, if she stopped talking to you right after that, then that probably, it probably has something to do with that.

I don't know. I mean, I don't think it was that bad or racy or anything, but... What did you say when you sent the picture of yourself in a towel? Nothing much. I just, I think I've put like a little blurb, like, you know, here's proof or something like along those lines. Okay. Well, we'll see if we can help you off then. I mean, it is kind of strange that she was stopped talking to you right after that, so that might be the reason.

But we'll play a song, come back and see if we can get you a second. a date in your first day follow-up next. December 29th, 1975, LaGuardia Airport. The holiday rush. Parents hauling luggage, kids gripping their new Christmas toys. Then, at 6.33 p.m., everything changed.

There's been a bombing at the TWA terminal. Apparently, the explosion actually implosion. actually impelled metal, glass. The injured were being loaded into ambulances, just a chaotic, chaotic scene. In its wake, a new kind of enemy emerged, and it was here to stay.

Terrorism. Law and order, criminal justice system is back. In season two, we're turning our focus to a threat that hides in plain sight. That's harder to predict and even harder to stop.

Through the lens of politics and culture, we talk with you every week to make sense of this madness. I've been telling, Angela, I don't even know how to fight back right now. So what I'm focused on is just looking out for ourselves.

That's the truth. We're having the same debates that American households are having all over the country. Rest is certainly a form of self-care. But if you are watching your full neighbors starve, not be able to pay bills, your rest is selfish. But the thing is, Angela, this is not the mess we create it. So I do understand black folks feeling like, you know what, y'all got it. We're like family, but we disagree all the time. And we love when our listeners chime in.

What would happen if we built our own little Wakandan communities in the rural south? Tiffany, do not run to know rural south. I don't know what's your own. What our audience is asking is, okay, fine, you want me to stop resting? What specifically are you asking me to do? Stay informed and take action.

middle of today's first date follow up if you're just joining us. Evan is on the phone and he's getting ghosted by Ruby so we're about to call her and see if she tells us why she's ghosting him and hopefully get him a second date. But first Evan, why don't you break down your date for us one more time? Yeah, so we had a lot of great moments on our date. Sparks flew. Everything was perfect. I thought we had a connection and, you know, two days after the date, I've not heard from her. And the last thing that you sent her was, let's not forget this part, a picture of yourself in the bathroom and a towel. I did send her in my abs. All right, well, are you ready to see if that's the reason you're getting ghosted?

Yeah, let's do it. Okay, here we go. I'm going to call it right now. Hello? Hi, may I speak to Ruby, please? This is Ruby. Hey, Ruby, how are you? This is a radio show.

It's called The Jubal Show. Hi, Ruby. My name's Nina. Hi, I'm Victoria. And I'm Jubal. How are you? Okay. I'm good.

Sweet. Have you ever listened to the show before? I have. Tope. Thank you. Well, what if I told you that you were the star of a first date follow-up right now? Oh, God. Yeah, we got an email about you from somebody that you're ghosting, and they don't know why.

You know who would email us? Mm-hmm. I'm pretty sure it's probably Evan. You're very smart, Ruby. Yes, it is Evan. Evan told us about your date, said that he really liked you. I thought you guys had an awesome time, but you texted for a little while after, and then you just ghosted him, and he wants to know what's up. Would you mind telling us?

I mean, like, look, I really, I thought Evan was great, and we had an amazing. time. But then after my date, my friend showed me something and it just, it kind of killed the vibe for me. Okay. What was it? Okay. So I tested my friend a picture of Evan when we were on the date because she wanted to be what it looked like. And then the next night, she sends me a picture of him with some other girl, like literally the night after we went on date and then he was at another bar and they were making out no no no no you've got it wrong Ruby that's Evan he's actually on the phone and wants to talk to you oh my god I mean like yeah okay I guess I knew this is coming oh man hi hi look you've got it all wrong it's not no no no Evan you are

literally in the picture. I mean, it's not hard to recognize someone when you were just right there, you know? Oh, okay. Yeah, it happened, but it's not what you think. Like, she's someone I've been hooking up with for a while, and I was going to tell her it was over because I wanted to focus on you that night,

and I just, I didn't get to it yet. So you were, oh, someone else right after your day making out with her. technically yeah at Evan you were just with me and then you just go make out with someone else I mean I understand people date multiple people but it just it felt wrong to me

I swear I swear I'm done with her I'm not seeing anyone else I like you I was going to tell her that the next day but it was like it wasn't like that anymore you're the one that I want to date did you tell her that I told her I mean I wouldn't want to see a picture of the dude

that I just want an amazing date with like messing around with somebody else again like she said I get people are dating other people but if I don't know I wouldn't feel good about that either I just would have too many questions yeah like are you just saying that like you want to date me or like did you hook up

with her that night you know that's just how it felt to me did you hook up on her I mean, yeah, but it was like just one. It was just like a last round type of thing. I swear, I told her about you at that point, and that was the last time. You told her after you hooked up?

Yeah. You hooked up with her after you told her about me? Like, seriously? No, I told her about you after I hooked up with her. That's not necessarily panic. Evan's at least truthful. Yeah. That's true.

Okay, so you hooked up with her after you told her about me. Like, seriously? No, I hooked up with her and then I told her about you. But that's because things felt so different with you. Like, we've been on one date. It's not like I cheated on you or anything. I was just trying to do the right thing. I mean, it would have been better if you told her before and didn't hook up with her.

Okay. I get that, but I was, you know, I was just kind of desperate and sad. I didn't get to see you. And, you know, I was just trying to break things off and it didn't go as smoothly as I hoped it was. I mean, if we were to date and you didn't see me, you can't hook up with other people. I'm not trying to do that. I swear. It's kind of tricky because he kind of does have a point.

He is trying to do the right thing. Like, he didn't cheat on anybody. and she's out of the picture now. Ruby, would you like to go on a second date with Evan? We'll pay for it. I mean, Evan, are there any other people I need to know about? I mean, yeah, well, yes. I'm going to text them and let them know I'm not available.

Via text, I'm not going to meet up with them. I will show you the text. What do you think, Ruby? It sounds like you're serious. I mean, like, honestly, we just. did just go in one date, and it was, like, a really, really good date. But I swear to God, Evan, if any of my friends send me more pictures of you out with other women, you're going to wish that I was just ghosting you.

They will be way worse. Way worse. I promise you'll never see that again. I don't want to ever meet that side of you again. Okay, sure. All right, we'll go out again. Are you happy? Yeah.

Thank you. You're welcome. Juble's first date follow-up. December 29th, 1975, LaGuardia Airport. The holiday rush. Parents hauling luggage, kids gripping their new Christmas toys. Then, everything changed. There's been a bombing at the T-Whorning.
