First Date Follow Up - The Jubal Show - He won't date a Scorpio!

Episode Date: July 6, 2022

First Date Follow Up is when we get an email from someone who went on a date and the other person isn't calling back. We get that other person on the phone to see why they're "ghosting".Diamond is on the phone for her first date follow up and is not getting a call back from Lenny. They met on Tinder and he even used a 'super like' on her when they matched, but after their date she hasn't heard back from him and it has been about a month! It was his idea to go bowling for their date and and the only thing she can think of for why he is not calling her back is because she asked this girl who kept bumping into him to back up.

Be more you this year and find them on Bumble.

First day follow-up. Hyman is on the phone today for a First Date Follow-Up, and she's not getting a call back from a dude named Lenny. Where'd you guys meet? Well, pretty much like anyone else does these days, which is Tinder. But it was really sweet because he used a super like on me. Oh, wow. And, you know, you only get a few of those to use, you know, every so often.

So, like, it kind of made me feel special. how long has it been since you heard from lenny after your date well it's been almost a month um and yeah i've tried not i haven't been trying to like bug him you know but i've tried texting a couple times and i did try calling at least twice in the past month and normally he's always good about texting like he doesn't answer my phone call okay fine but he's always been good about texting right and there's been nothing like just complete silence ghosting me basically all right well tell us a little bit about the date what did you guys do once you actually went out? Well, it was his idea to go to bowling and it was actually, yeah, like

super fun. Every time I think of bowling now, I just think of how dirty like the balls are. Oh, I never thought about that. You haven't? Oh, I think about it every time. I love bowling. Yeah. COVID? I'm like, ah! I never feel more filthy than after

I've bowled. Well, he kind of, he actually brought his own ball. He did? And I didn't have anything. Yeah, he brought his own ball. He was like a professional, like a pro the entire time. Oh, wow. And I was, yeah, I was kind of all over the place.

I didn't know what I was, yeah, I was kind of all over the place. I didn't know what I was doing. It is a lot harder than I ever imagined it would be. And I hadn't been in years. So why do you think that he's ghosting you? I honestly, I don't know. The only thing that I could possibly think of, there was this girl that was really creeping up into our lane, like, bumping into our station, bumping into him directly. What?

And it happened at least two or three times. So I said, hey, could you just back up a bit? Right. I mean, that's not out of line. I didn't think so. You know, like, I thought, you know, hey, she seemed like she was the one being rude. So I just felt like I had to call it out. Well, yeah. I mean, there's etiquette when it comes to bowling, too. You know, like I thought, you know, hey, she she seemed like she was the one being rude. So I just felt like I had to call it out. Well, yeah, I mean, there's etiquette when it comes to bowling, too.

You know, yeah, there is. You can't be rubbing up on other bowlers on accident. There should be space in between. Yeah. Yeah. And there was plenty of space in between each of the stations. So it just didn't even make sense why it was happening. So that's why I felt like I needed to call it out.

And I don't know i am kind of pretty forward and a little bit feisty when it comes to that kind of stuff so maybe it just was too much for him oh okay did he say anything about you talking to her did he seem like like he was put off by that like no no and it's it's interesting because he even thanked me like as soon as i said it, I looked back at him. I was kind of a little worried, and he was like, oh, yeah, thank you for that. You think maybe he's not calling you back because he thought that was rude or something of you? Yeah, that's the only thing that I can think of because nothing else wrong or negative happened in the date. The rest of the date was amazing.

My tongue. I'm drinking a smoothie, and my tongue is frozen. Can you ask her the question? How did the date. The rest of the date was amazing. My tongue, I mean, I'm drinking a smoothie and my tongue is frozen. Can you ask her the question? How did the date end? Yes. Well, we stayed until the place closed and then we went back to his car

and yeah, well, we basically hotboxed the whole thing. Oh, that was fun. Hotboxed it. Did you guys hook up in his car? Yeah. Okay. In front of the bowling alley. That's amazing. What kind of guy

wines and dines you like that? Takes you to a bowling alley and then hooks up with you in his car outside and then doesn't call you back? Yeah, no. He sounds like the best guy in the most romantic guy in the world, right? Like, it doesn't sound as romantic as it was, but I promise, like, in the moment, it was great, and I had the best time, and I just don't understand what happened. All right.

Well, we'll figure it out. We'll play a song, come back, and then call him and find out why he's not calling you back with your first date follow-up next, okay? Okay. We're in the middle of your first date follow-up. If you're just joining us, Diamond is on the phone, and things got real dirty on her first date with a dude named Lenny. Why? Because they went to a bowling alley, and there's not many more places that are more filthy than a bowling alley.

They bowled for a little while. She said they had a great time. And then after the date, it got even more dirty because they did dirty things in his car outside of the dirty bowling alley. So just dirty all around. It sounds fun, but she's not going to call back.

She doesn't know why. The only thing that's the only reason she can think of that Lenny isn't calling her back is that maybe because of a situation that happened when they were bowling, someone on the lane next to him kept getting in the way and like getting over in their spot and like rubbing up against him. And Diamond called her out and said, hey, stay over there. But probably in worse words than that.

I don't know. But Diamond called her out for it. And she thinks that maybe it was awkward for Lenny that she did that. And maybe he thinks that she's rude. We're about to get him on the phone, though, and see if we can figure it out. All right, Diamond, are you ready? Yeah, yeah, I'm pretty ready because I would really like to get to the bottom of this and try and go out on a second date. All right, well, let's see if we can figure it out.

Here we go. I'm going to call him right now. Hello? I'm going to speak to Lenny, please. This is Lenny. Lenny, my name is Jubal from a radio show called The Jubal Show. And my name is Alex Freyash. My name is Bennett.

And I'm Christian Gray-Snow from a radio show, Guess It. We're calling you today because we do a segment on the show called The First Date Follow-Up. It's where if you've been on a date with someone and then you don't call them back, they can email us to get you on the phone and find out what happened. And we got an email about you from somebody who listens to the show. You been on any dates recently, Lindog? Yeah. Yeah, I've been on a few. A few that you've ghosted?

Yeah, well... Let me ask you this, Lenny. Do you take every girl to the bowling alley? Yeah. So it's probably about Diamond, huh? Or one date outside of a bowling alley because you haven't called Diamond back and that's why we're on the phone. Oop. Yeah.

I don't know. What about it? Well, can you tell us a little bit about your date with Diamond? She's really confused. She said that you guys had a, she thought you guys had a great time, and now you're not calling her back. She told us about your date. She said you took her to the bowling alley. You even have your own bowling ball, which is pretty sweet.

She complimented your bowling skills, said you're like a professional bowler. And then she said after you guys shut the bowling alley down, you went out to your car and had a little bit of fun in there. Was that why you're not calling her back? Was it not good enough? I know what you're talking about. No, that was all cool. I thought so. Okay.

She also said she thinks you might not be calling her back because while you guys were bowling, there was an incident where she had to tell somebody to back off because they were getting in your lane and stuff. Yeah, I don't even remember that. No, I don't think that's yeah that's not that's not

this that's not like why she talked about it like it was like a big event that happened like she had to tell this girl off and then you thanked her for it you don't remember yeah so yeah that wasn't like like that's not i didn't really see that as like an issue or anything i know i know what you're talking about but it wasn't i didn't give it a second thought okay you know it just kind of happens bump into somebody or something all right well then can you tell know what you're talking about, but I didn't give it a second thought. It just kind of happens. Pump into somebody or something. Can you tell us why you're not calling her back? I just... I can't date another Scorpio

again. Are you serious? Scorpios are my weakness, right? But then also, my last three major relationships were with Scorpios and they all just ended terribly. Like it. Yeah, I just I just made a promise. Like seriously, like heartbreak and just back to back.

And I just need to break the pattern. I made my promise. It was like just no more Scorpios. And then somehow I ended on a date with with Diamond, who was one. And I was like, like, dude, come on. Didn't did you? Well, wouldn't you have known that before you went on a date with Diamond, who was one, and I was like, dude, come on. Wouldn't you have known that before you went on the date? Well, not necessarily. How would he know? I would ask. If it's that important to you, I would ask. Maybe he didn't think about it. Did you think about it?

Well, no, she told me she was a Libra. What? Which would have been great. So she lied to you? Yeah. Oh, why? Yeah, she said she was a Libra. I'm a Gemini. And that means that we'd be very compatible. But at dinner, I could tell something was different or whatever. And I asked her what her birthday was.

And to both of our surprises, she was a Scorpio. Both of your surprises? She didn't know what her sign was? No. What? You found out that she was a Scorpio at dinner, so you can't hit her back, but you could bring her outside after dinner and hook

up with her? What's up with that? Yeah, well, yeah, because we're out and we're having fun and stuff. To me, it was just like a mental note. Like, you know, if you make a promise to yourself, you gotta stick with it. But I'm not just gonna, you know. You don't want to be handcuffed to a Scorpio again. You'll hook up with her, but you make a promise to yourself, you got to stick with it. But I'm not going to, you know. You don't want to be handcuffed to a Scorpio again.

You'll hook up with her, but you don't want to be handcuffed. I've done the Scorpio thing. I'm not trying to do the Scorpio thing anymore. All right. Well, you're going to have to not avoid them one more time because she is actually on the phone listening and wants to talk to you. Yeah. Sorry about that. Are you serious?

Man, I was worried this would be like an ambush type thing. Well to talk to you. Surprise. Yeah, sorry about that. Are you serious? Man, I was worried it was going to be like an ambush type thing. Well, you were right. Congratulations. Diamond? Diamond's on the phone. Yeah. Hi. I love hearing every second of this.

I mean, I said you were cool. Wow, really, Lenny? Yeah. But all of that stuff is just like, it's fake. It's bullshit. Like, there's nothing. Did you really not know what sign you were no i i don't follow any of that stuff so i thought i was a libra and like if i

my whatever star moon of is is that like i just thought that's what my my sign was too i didn't really think of it because I don't care. So he asked and I was like, oh, I think I'm a Libra. So I'm a Libra. It's not something that dictates or guides my whole life, unlike apparently you where you have to follow it to a T, but apparently you didn't mind screaming in the back of your car before figuring that out. So I guess it doesn't really. I don't know.

I'm pretty sure you look like you were enjoying yourself too. So it's not like a one party thing. Look, yeah, whatever happened, happened. It was in the moment, but I was cool with all that. I'm just not trying to date somebody like that. Well, if it seems like I was enjoying it that much, I appreciate that. That's actually a compliment because it means I'm a good actor and I did my job right.

Okay. Ooh, that's harsh. Dang. All right. Well, at this point, I'd like to ask, Lenny, would you like to go on another date with Diamond? We'll pay for it. No. Obviously no.

Sorry. Sorry, Diamond. We couldn't get you another date because you're a Scorpio who didn't know you were a Scorpio And thought you were a Libra Hey that's okay because It sounds like I'm way better off anyways This guy sounds so boring You're f***ing boring

I got bowled like a perfect game in front of you You know Maybe I'm boring but you're crazy And I already know it So I'm just going to avoid this Okay Look sorry boring, but you're crazy and I already know it. So I'm just going to avoid this. Okay. Look, sorry. I'm trying to find someone I'm compatible with. You should do the same. I don't want to make this a big fight.

No, this reminds me. I think it sounded more like, oh, Diamond, that felt so good. Oh, yeah. Diamond, keep doing that. Yeah. Uh-huh. Just like that. Look, I'm just trying to find somebody who's compatible. All right, so like look into your sign. Oh, I'm like, oh, you're so good. Oh, Diamond, oh, please. Okay. He said, okay.
