Episode Date: July 15, 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".Steve is on the phone and hasn't gotten a call back from Danielle! They have been on two dates so far and the only thing he could think of on why he is not getting a call back is because he may look a little different than his tinder profile!Leave a rating and review wherever you listen.

The Jubal Show on demand. First date follow-up. Steve is on the phone today for a first date follow-up, and he went out with a woman named Danielle But now Danielle Who knows where she is And Steve can't find her because he's not getting a call back After their date

Steve what's up man how are you Hey guys how's it going Good Not too bad Steve Sorry that you're being ghosted Yeah that sucks how long has it been since your date Um it's been about Three weeks now Steve. Sorry that you're being ghosted. Yeah, that sucks. How long has it been since your date? Um, it's been about three weeks now since, um, our last date. Okay. So you got on more than one date?

Yeah, we, um, we went on two dates. Okay. And then how many times have you tried to hit her up since your last date? So I sent her three different text messages over about like one a week. Like not crazy, but I also called her two times and left one voicemail. So, you know, I don't know. I don't want to keep reaching out to her, but I don't, I don't know what to do. Well, you did the right thing by emailing us, Steve, because we'll call her in just a minute and see if we can figure out why she's not calling you back and try to get

you another date. Before we do that, though, tell us about the date. How did you meet Danielle and what did you guys do? Well, we met on Tinder, the app, and we went to a bar for some cocktails. Okay. It was our first date, which, you know, I thought it went pretty well then we met up a few days later and had some more drinks and caught up and I thought I was really into it something about you Steve makes Steve I'm not you know we joke around

the show something about you just makes me want to take a nap. Not that you're boring. Like, you just, just the way you tell a story is very soothing. You sound like very methodical about everything. Oh, I'm just trying to tell you, you know, all the details of what happened. It's great. What I just mean, the cadence and just the way you speak is like... Jubal wants to take a nap. Yeah.

Anyway, back to your story. I'm sorry. Yeah. So we went out twice and it was more or less the same drinks and, you know, at a nice bar and we had conversation. We talked about our job, our family, and I thought she was really really nice okay and then are you saying that she didn't respond to any of your text messages or calls or voicemails yeah after the second date she just disappeared oh man i know i know you guys sometimes call people and I didn't know what

else to do. Why do you think she's not calling you back? If everything was so went well and you went on two dates, why do you think she's not calling you back? The only thing I could think of is that my profile pictures on Tinder were from a few years ago when I looked slightly younger, but I also... Why are they two years old? I don't know. pictures from then and I was a little more overweight, younger and maybe she thinks I, what's the word was catfished now that I lost some weight What?

I don't know, that's all I could think of Okay, so you think you look different though, that much different from your profile pictures and your pictures that are on Tinder than who you are now? A little but I don't think a lot. But a little, so maybe. Maybe that's it.

I can't think of anything else. All right. Well, we'll try to figure it out for you. We'll play a song and then come back and call her and get your first date follow-up right after this, okay? Okay. All right, we'll get your first date follow-up next.

If you're just joining us for today's first date follow-up, Steve is on the phone, and Steve isn't getting a call back from Danielle. They've actually gone out on two dates, and since their last date, it's been over a week. He's reached out to her a few times, and she's definitely ghosting him. He doesn't know why. The only reason he can think of is that maybe he looks a little different from his Tinder pictures. He said they were two years old. He's lost some weight since then. And maybe she just doesn't like the way he looks now as opposed to how he used to look. But other than that, Steve, you're sure there's nothing else?

I can't think of anything else. All right. Well, we'll try to figure it out for you because you really liked her, right? Yes. I did. I was very interested. Okay. One more dollar phone was very interested. Okay.

One more. Dollar phone number right now. Here we go. Hello? Hi, may I speak to Danielle, please? Yeah, this is she. Hey, Danielle, how are you? This is Jubal from a radio show called The Jubal Show.

This is Alex from a radio show called The Jubal Show. Oh, hi. Hi. Why are you guys calling me? We're calling you today because we do a segment on the show called The First Date Follow-Up. If you don't know what that is, that's where if you go out on a date with someone and then you end up ghosting them, that person can email us to get you on the phone and ask what happened.

And so you went on a date with somebody and ghosted them and they emailed us. Oh no. You're talking about the guy I consider Eeyore. Eeyore? Like the cartoon character, the Winnie the Pooh, the sad donkey thing, whatever it is? His name isn't Eeyore. No.

His name is Steve, but I call him Eeyore to all my friends. Oh. Oh. Okay. Yes, it's Steve. Yes. Steve emailed us because he told us he went out with you twice and he really liked you a lot but

you're ghosting him and he doesn't know why and he wants to know why okay well I don't know if you had the opportunity to speak with him we did okay so maybe you know what I'm talking about he speaks so slow I felt like

I was forced I felt like I was forced. I felt like I was in like a lecture, like a college lecture. It was so hard to keep a conversation with him. Yeah. Okay, but why did you go out a second time with him then? Yeah, well, the first time, I thought that maybe he was like drunk or something because I didn't know it was humanly possible to speak that slowly. So the second date, I was like, I prepped myself.

I'm like, all right, there's no way that's normal. So then when I went into the second date and he talked like that throughout the entire time again, I just couldn't do it. I couldn't even focus on what he was saying because I was watching the clock, seeing how slow he talked. Slow talker. And by the way, it doesn't just stop at how he speaks. I mean, I got in a car with him. He drove under the speed limit.

Who does that? Who drives under the speed limit? And when he's trying to order something on the menu, he would consider all of his different options. It was awful. I felt like somebody... Torture. It was awful. I felt like somebody, torture. It was torture. Yeah, I would definitely not call somebody back if they were going under the speed limit.

That's a deal breaker. Just the speed limit thing alone. So basically you think that Steve is just slow at everything. It's not like he is slow. He is very intelligent. I could tell he was intelligent. But everything that he did in life was like it was gripped in molasses.

It was so slow. And I felt like I was oozing when I was sitting across from him. And I'm like, oh my God, I can't do this. Aw. I really wish he wasn't so attractive

so I could just break this whole thing off. I mean, he is attractive. He's sexy. Aw. You know. Slow. You just can he is attractive. He's sexy. Aw. You know. Slow. You just can't get over the slowness.

I could. I can't. All right. Torture. Well, thank you for telling us. We appreciate it. Also, I should let you know that he is on the phone listening

and wants to talk to you. Ooh. Steve? Oh. Hey. So, I didn't realize that you're so impatient. I'm not impatient. It's just it was beyond possible for me to sit for as long as you tell a story.

But this was impossible. And also, yeah, I mean, I'm sorry. I would have been a little bit kinder if I knew that you were on the phone. But I mean, has no one ever told you that before? No, I've never heard that. But, you know, I do like to take my time, especially when I tell stories. So I can relay all the details. And yeah, when I drive, I like to obey the law.

So I drive the speed limit. Do you have an issue with that? I just feel like that lifestyle is not for me. It seems like you want somebody who is okay while you look over the menu and pictures of every single dish. I just am more of like a let's get it done kind of person. So I just don't think it's the right fit.

Well, why wouldn't you want to read all of the different menu items? You could be missing out on something that you'll like. Yeah, I think I'm missing out on my life when I'm just sitting there wasting time. So, that's my perspective. Oh, wow. Well, this is a surprise. I mean,

I don't even know what to say, and maybe this isn't going to work out. Well, let's see. Danielle, would you like to go on another date with Steve? We'll pay for it. No, thank you. But I wish you the best of luck, Steve.

Okay, well, yeah. Good luck, I guess, to you, too. Have fun running around the rat race so fast with someone else. I'll stop and smell the roses with someone better, someone nicer who can appreciate taking the time and enjoying the brighter things in life.

Well, okay. Good luck with that and good luck with stopping to smell every single rose that's going up on time, Daddy. The Jubal Show on demand. Ugh, we're so done with New Year, New You. This year, it's more you on Bumble.
