First Date Follow Up - The Jubal Show - Is it a red flag if you lie on a first date?

Episode Date: November 16, 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".There is a guy who is not getting a call back from a date he went on. He thinks it's because he lied on his date, which is something you should not do on a first date, but he still thinks he can get a second!Leave a rating and review wherever you listen.

Barry is on the phone today. First day follow-up. Barry is on the phone today for first day follow-up. He's not getting a call back from a woman named Zoe that he went on a date with.

Barry, before we get into why you think you're not getting a call back from Zoe and what you liked about Zoe and all that good stuff, how long has it been since you talked to Zoe? Hey, yeah, thanks for having me. So we spoke about a week and a half ago. All right. And we, yeah, and we met on Tinder, you know, classic, nothing, you know, too crazy about that.

How many times have you tried to reach out to her since you guys went out? I tried to keep it chill. I've reached out like twice. Like twice, that's not bad. And so it was like a first thing right after the date. And then just like another, I didn't get a response, but maybe the message got lost and I sent another thing and she just hasn't responded at all.

Which just sounded weird because the date was like really fun and really great. Okay. Well, tell us about it. What was really fun and really great about it? Yeah. So we, so like I said, we, we matched on Tinder and and we messaged for a while it was like a week of messaging back and forth um and like she's gorgeous man like she's so attractive like so cool and she's got this like real dark like wicked sense of humor you know like looks a little toxic

but like super funny like i told you like i'm with it, you know, like all the way. Okay. And like, like I remember the moment was I quoted an old Eddie Izzard bit from, from like his special dress to kill, which is like one of my favorite specials all time. All right. And she finished the punchline. It was insane. Like that kid's not. All right. So, um, obviously you like standup comedy. She likes standup comedy as well. Definitely. Yeah. So I, that actually worked great because we she agreed to go on a date with me and we went to a whitney cummings show um which was like super funny like yeah she's awesome she's killer so we went and watched the show and then we got drinks

afterward uh and that that was a week and a half ago uh and and we had a great time on the date. I thought, um, again, the conversation was great. Like she's so flipping funny, like just a great time all around. But I think I know I'm like 99% sure why she goes to me and like, I really need your help on this one. What do you think it is? So like, I was like like, really into her. Even from her Tinder, like, profile and then, like, her photos and then, like, our, like, texting, I was in it already. So, like, so I was basically willing to do whatever, like, I can to get a second date with her.

Like, not in a weird way. Like, not go overboard. But, like, I just want to have one more shot. And one of the things I found really attractive about her was she's she's tall she's like she's like 5'10 okay but her tinder profile says she's like only interested in men six foot and up you know like one of those okay um and i am 5'7 so like i i lied my ass off in my t bio. I changed all that stuff. I did no full body photos. It was all high angle.

It made me look good. Okay, so you actually changed it because you wanted her to think you were taller? Yeah, I just wanted a shot. I was like, listen, let me get in the door and then hopefully the vibes are good. Personality is there. I got those many inner quotes on deck. It's going to be a good time.

All right. I even tried trying to find some platform shoes i could wear but i was walking like a giraffe like it wasn't gonna work but it really wasn't gonna work okay so so i just owned it um and like i know i lied and i feel like really about that but but like really man like i don't think there's another girl out there that i'd want to be with or at least like give a shot at being with more than her she's so cool and awesome um cool and i yeah that's and you know i'm a really big fan of you guys really big fan of juval as a comedian um you know and so the reason i wanted to reach out to you was because um you've talked about being short and I was hoping as like numbers

of like the lollipop guild you'd be able to help me out a bit. Absolutely. You know what I mean? You know us little guys have to stick together, right? Yeah, come on. Right, all the way.

Like we got to stand together. Strength in numbers. I mean, the two of us will be able to do this together, I think. I'll hop on your shoulder so I can talk to her eye to eye and see why she's not calling you back

and then we'll see if we can get you another date. All right, we'll play a song. Come back and then call her and get your first date follow-up next. In the middle of your first date follow-up, if you're just joining us, Barry is on the phone and Barry wants to call Zoe because Zoe is ghosting Barry. Did that make sense? I hope it did.

Barry went out on a date with Zoe. They met on Tinder. Barry thinks he knows why he's not getting a call back. It's because he lied on his Tinder profile when he saw Zoe because he is not that tall. He's about 5'7", so giant as far as I'm concerned. We're about the same size. But he's about 5'7", and she said she likes taller guys. So he changed all his pictures so he looked taller, and then he took her out on a date.

Since the date, she hasn't talked to him at all. Barry's guessing it's probably because he lied about his height. But we'll see if it's something else, too. All right, Barry. Are you ready to call Zoe? Yeah, let's do it. Thank you, guys. Yeah, man. All right. Here we go. Hello? Hi, may I speak to Zoe, please?

This is Zoe. Hey, Zoe, how are you? This is Jubal from a radio show called The Jubal Show. Oh, hey. Yes, I know you guys. Oh, you do? Okay, cool. Well, how are you today?

Not bad. Having a little sandwich over here. Can we talk to you for a second, or do you just want to enjoy your sandwich for a while? I mean, the sandwich is pretty good, but you guys are also pretty cool, so I think I'll talk to you. All right, sweet. Well, we're calling you because we got an email about you from Barry. Oh, yep. Okay, here we go. Barry emailed us, told us about your date, said that you're ghosting him, and Barry wants to know why.

Would you mind telling us? Oh, I don't mind at all. Yeah, Barry was awesome. We had a great time. He's a sweet guy. And we saw a comedy show. It was so funny. And I feel like we bonded,

you know? Well, he told us, he told us about your date. He told us all that. He thinks, just tell me if I'm right or wrong on this because he thinks the reason that you're not calling him back is because Barry kind of lied about his height on his Tinder profile.

Yeah. Like I'm not super into liars, you know? Yeah. Liars or short guys or both? Well, mostly liars, you know, short guys. They're like, I really, you know, I put on my, we met on Tinder.

I put on my profile that I'm only, I'm size 10. I want a guy who's six feet or taller. That was on my profile. And Barry, man, I mean, he really convinced me. But then in person, you can't lie about that. So the truth became clear. So that's why you're not calling him back, because he was short? Not because he's short, because he told me he was something, and he's something else.

Oh, okay. So if you wouldn't have lied about his height, then you would be down to maybe go out with him again, even though he's not as tall as you like? I mean, yeah, but it's just tough to... Look, we got along. It was a fun time. But look, Barry, I know you're there. I just cannot be with someone who's dishonest. I've heard this show before. I know it.

And you're awesome. And I love jokes with you. It's hard to be with someone you can finish punchlines with, you know, but like, man, I don't know if I could be with someone who lies about who they are, you know? Yeah. Okay. Jigs up. Um, okay. First off, Zoe, I am like, so low down, you know, I'm super sorry that I lied about my height like i just like coming out straight with that that was like stupid of me it was dumb like i should not have done it the reason i mean straight up the reason i did it you're beautiful in in your tinder profile

and i just wanted a shot and and it said six foot over, and I was like, well, maybe if, like, let's just, like, if we both vibe, if our personalities are great, if we just have a great time together, that maybe the six foot thing won't be as important. But, like, I totally screwed up lying. Like, I'm an idiot. I'm really, really sorry about that. It was so dumb, but, like, I had to take the chance.

Like, I knew it could be special if it worked out, so I had to take the chance. I knew it could be special if it worked out, so I had to take the leap. And that's why I did it. But I'm really sorry. Short guy, big lie. Listen, you gotta make up for it somehow, but if you're down, I'm so sorry.

It won't ever happen again, and I'd just love to go on a second date with you, if you'd be down. Guys, what do you think? What should I do? What should I do? Alex, tell me. I personally think it's weird that you're just now dropping him. You knew when you saw him that he obviously wasn't six foot, but you still were able to have a great time with him.

Well, I'm not going to walk away. That would be, you know. Of course. But you had fun with him, right? Yeah, for one, for an evening and then be like, all right, you know, I don't think I could have a partnership with someone who's going to start off like that, you know. But I mean, look, I'm not sure. He lied because he wanted to go out with you. I know.

And he said some very nice things about me just now. And he said that he's, I think he said he's an idiot, and he's very dumb, and I'm into that. You know, I'm into dumb guys, idiots. That's great for me. I don't know. I'm considering it. I'm considering it.

One final thing. One final thing. I know I lied about the height, and that was stupid. That was really stupid. How many other people you know love Eddie Izzard? How many other people you know love Eddie Izzard? I'm an idiot who loves Eddie Izzard. That's got to be something. That's got to be something.

I think that's your answer right there. I mean, look, I think I might be down to see you again. I just don't want you to be lying to me about anything. Hair color, eye color, whatever, anything. Tell me who you are. Tell me what food you like. Tell me if you want bacon or bacon. Let me ask you this, Zoe. Would you like to go

on another date with Barry? We'll pay for it. Barry, you're not lying about anything else, are you? Well, okay. I'll be straight up. I was wearing colored contacts, but it's just because they look good. Who wears those in 2022? I'm just, I'm not the one.

Who wears brown colored contacts? That's the lamest colored contacts to wear, man. No, everything's legit. Everything's chill. Okay, so I'm down if you're down, and I was hoping. I mean, you're always down, you know? I'm always up.

You're always down. That's how it's going to be, you know? Listen, that's one of the benefits of being short. Listen, I know you said you only like six-foot guys, but you're going to find some benefits to a 5'7 dude. Oh. But I was hoping you'd give me another chance, and I decided to bet on myself.

So I had a really good feeling. So I did buy two tickets to go see Chris Rock and Chappelle. What? No. The other one's yours if you want it. It's always good to bribe someone with tickets. Yeah. And we don't have to pay for it.

Yeah, I want to do that. I mean, we got along. Look, we got along. I'll give it another shot. I'll give it another shot. I'll give it another try. Sweet. Congratulations, Barry. You got another date.

Yeah, here we go. Now go find those platform shoes. I can retire them. It's all good, guys. The Jubal Show on demand. Hey, everyone. It's Katie Couric. Well, the election is in the homestretch right in time
