The Jubal Show on demand. First date follow-up. Samuel is on the phone today for a first date follow-up, and he went on a date with a woman named Savannah And now Savannah's not calling him back and he doesn't know why And his date sounded fun so I'm not sure either Samuel But before we get into your date How long has it been since you and Savannah went out?

It's been just about a week now And it was awesome I really thought we had a good match been just about a week now um and it's just because you know it was awesome you know like uh i really thought we had a good match and like even our like we joked about our names like kind of matching up you know samuel and savannah like oh i you know it's just like we like we just i felt like it was just real good you know like yeah i mean that's cute you know like you guys could get married one day and it'd be Samuel and Savannah's wedding. Like, it just sounds perfect.

It sounds like love. It does. It sounds like love. That's a little quick, but, you know, you kind of go there. How many times have you texted her since your date? I've texted three times and no response. No response. Okay. And your date sounded fun.

You said you went to one of those axe throwing places. Yeah. Yeah. Um, it was, uh, it was good. Um,

like, I mean the, the whole vibe was a lot of fun until I almost killed her. What? You almost killed her with an axe? So we were, you know, you,

you toss the axe like at the target, like you kind of take turns going back and forth. So we kind of gotten in, you toss the axe, like, at the target. Like, you kind of take turns going back and forth. So we'd kind of gotten in a rhythm. And also, like, I just turned for a second. She was right by me. And I turned just thinking, like, I'm going to look cool, like, not look, like, throw the axe. She had already thrown her axe, and she was down there grabbing it. Oh.

And thankfully, I am a horrible axe thrower because it went very far off, but close enough to kind of scare both of us. Yeah. How did she react to that? I don't think she was happy. She seemed a little pissed. Super irresponsible. And a little, like, you know, shook up. Like, I was shook up.

I mean, it was super irresponsible, and I get that. Like, I know that's on me. But, you know, we started laughing about it. Like, and that's where I kind of thought, like, all right, you know, this isn't going to happen again. We've got this great story. You know, I almost killed her on our first date. Oh, we could tell the kid. But, you know, when we get to the end of the night,

like, I could tell, like, she didn't want to go in for the kiss. And I didn't want to push it or anything. And I thought, you know, maybe she's still a little shaken up by this. I'm not sure how I would feel about that. I'm not sure if it would, like, cause me to not want to go on another date with you

and just, like, think of you as, overall, like, a really irresponsible person or not. I don't think no like i wouldn't but i would be like well that's okay you almost killed me but that's weird you almost killed me and you killed the vibe i'm out yeah if i liked him though then that would be one thing okay so is that is that what you think it was that ruined your chances at another date and the reason that you're getting ghosted because you you know because of the you almost killed her yeah i i think i think that's it but it's like i said the date was going so great up until that and i feel like i i understand it was very irresponsible it's like i know that would never happen again you know kind of a thing so it's just i think if i could explain that to her

like look i i understand how crazy that was let's you know let's start over and go from there like okay and is there anything else that you can think of or that's the only awkward moment on your date that you can that you remember like that's that's it i mean like like i said you know we were we were vibing having a good time time. And even after that, I thought things got back on track. But that's the only thing I can think of that would have happened. Okay. Well, we'll see if we can figure it out. We'll play a song, come back, and then call her and find out why she's not calling you back and see if we can get you another date.

All right? All right. Right in the middle of your first date follow-up, if you're just joining us, Samuel is on the phone and Samuel accidentally almost murdered his date on their first date. Her name is Savannah. They went axe throwing and the only thing that he can think of being the reason

that he's getting ghosted is the fact that they went axe throwing and there was a point where she went to go grab her axes out of the targets and he threw his without realizing that she had already started walking down there. And apparently the ax almost hit her. Obviously she was shook. He was shook.

And he said it got back to normal. Those, they started laughing again at a fun time at the end of the date. Um, you guys didn't kiss, right? We didn't kiss, you know,

hearing it out loud. It's a lot worse. I feel like it doesn't sound too great. It doesn't sound great. Yeah. Saying it again. I was like, wow,

that's, this does not sound good. So maybe that is the reason you're not getting a call back. But we're about to call her right now and see if we can find out and help you get another date. All right, you ready? I'm ready. Okay, here we go. Hello? Hi, may I speak to Savannah, please?

Yeah, this is her. Can I ask who's calling? Yes, you can. My name is Jubal from a radio show called The Jubal Show. And mine's Alex from the same show called The Jubal Show. And I'm Christian from also the same show called The Jubal Show. Oh, okay. Hi. show called the drupal show oh okay hi um well we're calling you because we one of our listeners asked us to call you we do a segment called the first day follow-up that's where if you go out

on a date with somebody and then you end up ghosting them they can email us to get you on the phone and ask what happened and so samuel who you went axe throwing with, that dude. I don't know if you remember him or not. Yeah. No, I don't know who you're talking about. Well, Samuel wanted us to call you and find out why you're not calling him back. And I'll just tell you, he thinks that you're not calling him back because he almost hit you with an axe on your axe throwing date.

I mean, he did almost do that. And I'm not going to lie, that really did not make me so happy. You know, like the act, it was just kind of irresponsible. Like he wasn't even looking where he was throwing or anything. Totally. But no, that's not like the end all be all for why I didn't call him back. Would you like to tell us why? Um, I don't know.

I'm, I'm still honestly kind of like weird about this and everything. But, um, I actually ended up getting the name and number of this guy who works there. Oh God. Works at the axe throwing place that you and Samuel went to on your date? Yeah, I know it's that. The 60-year-old lumberjack

hipster guy? Are you serious? Wait, what? Samuel, a little too early. Wow. Yeah, he's on the phone, Savannah. Savannah, yeah, that's Samuel. Samuel's on the phone listening to the conversation and apparently couldn't help himself. Had to jump in. Didn't wait for the right moment. Forgot to tell you about that, that's Samuel. Samuel's on the phone listening to the conversation and apparently couldn't help himself, had to jump in, didn't wait for the right moment.

I forgot to tell you about that, too. Sorry. Sorry. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm, like, really confused right now. What's happening? Samuel's on the phone and wanted to talk to you, apparently. He's upset.

I can't believe it. Oh, you guys should have seen this dude. I mean, he was the brawny man, and Mr Mr. Clean and Justin Bieber all had a threesome. And this was the baby. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You don't even know him. Like, that is way, way far off. I know enough to know that he's like 70.

He has a twirly mustache. I mean, at least I have a car. I'm sorry? I'm sorry. What is that supposed to mean? Yeah, because it means that I'm sure he's one of those just bicycling little scrawny old men going back and forth because he thinks he's saving trees and stuff. Like some kind of urban eco-cowboy.

What in the world? Are you kidding me? So you're saying that the dude that she got a number from at the axe-throwing place when she was on a date with you is a 70-year-old hipster lumberjack that looks like the brawny man Mr. Clean and Justin Bieber had a baby and is an eco-friendly cowboy that doesn't have a car. Yeah, that about sums it up. Yep. boy that doesn't have a car yeah that about sums it up yep you know from my end it just honestly

sounds like somebody being very petty and very jealous i just don't get like why why if you're on a date why you would get another dude's number and like if you did want to date him then why not tell samuel that you don't want to see him again? I mean, look, I know it sounds bad. Like, hey, sorry, I got the number of this guy on our date. And, like, look, I know it sounds bad and everything, but he almost hit me in the head with an ax. And then, like, the guy who I'm talking to now, he saw the whole thing, and then Samuel went to the bathroom, and, like, he ended up, like,

coming over, just making sure I was okay and then oh god you know you're fine it wasn't like I actively thought it out it wasn't like I'm like oh hey let me go get the number of this guy who I'm on a when I'm on a date or anything it just like it just happened and like he was actually more caring about you of his granddaughter is he that old I don't even know where you're getting that from. Like, he's 70 years old. Like, honestly, Samuel, he just sounds really petty and really jealous. You know, that's fine. Okay, he's not 70, but he's brewing his own kombucha and riding his bike to save the forest.

And, you know, I hope you have a real good time composting with this. Oh, my God. No, I mean, like, at least he's doing something for the planet. Why would you ever hate on that? And also, kombucha's healthy. Like, what you're saying literally makes no sense. It's not even a good insult. Savannah, would you like to go out on another date with Samuel?

We'll pay for it. I'm sorry, guys. This whole thing is just, it's kind of, it's baffling to me. Like, yes, I like kombucha. So what if I care about my gut? I think you guys know the answer. Like, okay, yeah, axe throwing is very fun. We had fun on our date, but it's not that fun getting almost hit in the back of my head with an act.

You know, I'd rather be with somebody who actually gave two shits about what was going on. Don't need another date. That's just fine. Are you sure? Because I could still keep asking Savannah. It seems like we've got her right there on the edge. She's about to say yes. I can tell.

It's about to happen. You know, if she needs an extra date. Savannah. It seems like we got her right there on the edge. She's about to say yes. It's about to happen. It's okay, guys. She doesn't need another day. I think we're just not going to match up. I don't think so. Sorry, guys. Better luck next time. It's okay. I have my luck. Well, that's fine.
