Craig is on the phone today for a first date follow-up, and he's getting ghosted by someone named Maggie. Aw. Craig has no idea why.

Apparently, they met at a movie screening. Craig, before we get into all of that, I want to ask you, how long has it been since you talked to Mags? It's been a couple weeks. I don't really understand. He went wrong. Okay. How many times have you tried to reach out to her in that couple weeks?

Just twice. Tell us a little bit about your date. Your email said that you met at a movie screening. Yeah. So we met at a movie screening and we really kind of hit it off. It was pretty unique and it was nice to be able to share that with someone. So we started talking about how, what kind of movies we like. And we're both eating clean right now for our diets, and we both talked about how one of our favorite cheat meals is eating popcorn, so I was really excited to do that again with someone. Basically, we kind of set up another date. I took her out. We had a really nice night.

I brought her back to my place, and she just left in the morning like, you know, normal. So did you guys hook up though? Yeah, we did. Okay. Alright. What was the review of that? I think it was pretty great. Alright.

That's good. Okay. And so she just left in the morning and you didn't hear anything else? No. I texted her, you know, like just a normal like follow-up text. Like, had a great time. Really look forward to seeing you again. No response.

Thought that was a little interesting. Maybe, you know, she had work. And who knows? You know, people got things going on. Followed up, still nothing. And I don't really understand what's going on because we connected so well is there like think back on it were there any silly moments did you accidentally say something and put your foot in your mouth like to be honest i like i used to like drink a lot and

i really was sober for this date and i was actively trying to be sober for this date so I could be just like who I am so she could understand who I was. Now I'm all in my head like that was the problem. I didn't have my courage juice, if you will. So you think maybe the fact that you weren't drunk, you weren't loose enough? I don't know, something like that,

or maybe she just thought I was some stale old dude. Was she drinking? I mean, not that I'm aware of. Okay. You think that because you weren't drinking, you simply weren't exciting enough? Actually, like really concerned that that's the issue. Okay. That's okay.

Okay. On her way out, what were the final words? Because I usually kind of hint at if something happened or if she was looking forward to a second date or a second hookup. Alright, so like I was like walking around so she could get in her car to like go home and he noticed that

my car was like on blocks and my window was bashed in. What? I don't know why that happened but maybe she thinks I live in like a bad neighborhood and I don't even know if that's neighborhood but I don't know. So you're but maybe she thinks I live in a bad neighborhood. I don't live in the best neighborhood, but I don't know. So you're thinking maybe she's not calling you back because of two options. Maybe you weren't drunk and you think that maybe you weren't that exciting because you feel like you're funnier or whatever when you're drinking.

And or she thinks you live in the hood because you walked out and your car was on blocks and someone has stole your tires. And busted your windows out. I mean, yeah, I guess. But at the same time, I'm going to movie screenings. She should relax. Oh, my God. Okay. And a free movie, right?

Because you've won the ticket. Yeah. All right. Well, we'll try to figure it out for you then. We'll see what it is. We'll play a song, song come back and then call her and find out if we can and see if we can get the reason she's not calling you back and maybe get you another date with your first date follow up next in the middle of today's first date follow up if you're just joining us craig is on the phone and craig isn't getting a call back from maggie and he doesn't know why bummer they met at a movie

screening went for dinner ended up hooking up at his place. So it seems like everything went well, but it's been a few weeks and he hasn't heard anything from her. He thinks the reason he might not be getting a call back is because maybe he wasn't drinking because you're trying to eat healthier, Craig. That's what it is. Yeah, I'm trying to eat healthier. Just kind of have a clear mind. Okay. He feels like he's a little more fun when he drinks. So maybe he was boring.

I get that. The other reason that Craig is speculating about why he's not getting a call back is that when he was walking her out of his place in the morning, they went outside and his car had a window bashed in and it was on blocks. Someone has stole his tires. I don't think they did that anymore, but apparently they do. Oh, yeah. And so Craig is thinking maybe she thinks that he lives in a bad area and doesn't want to go out with him and have to go over there all the time. Those are the two reasons? Yeah.

And I don't think I live in a bad area. It just makes your skin thicker. Exactly. It might make you a soldier. Whatever you say. All right. Well, we'll see if we can figure it out for you. I'm going to get her on the phone right now and see if we can figure it out for you.

Here we go. Hello? Hi, may I speak to Maggie, please? This is her. Hello, Maggie. How are you? My name is Jubal, and I host a radio show called The Jubal Show.

I'm Bennett from the same show. I'm Christian Gray-Snow, and surprise, I'm also from the same show. And how are you, Maggie? Hi. Hi, everyone. I'm okay. I'm kind of familiar with your show. And now that I'm thinking about it, I think I actually might know what this is about. Okay. Give us a guess.

I think it's about a guy named Craig. This is a first date follow-up. So we got an email from Craig. He said he really liked your date, but he doesn't know why you're ghosting him, and that's why we're on the phone. Why are you ghosting Craig? I'm not trying to be like that.

I mean, it was a great second date. It was a second date? Yeah, yeah, it actually was. That was Craig and I's second date. Okay. He did not let us know that girl. Yeah, it was the first date. This is also the first date. Air them out, then they'll

put you in front of an audience or put the movie in front of an audience and have them screen it. Isn't that where you guys, that's what he told us, that's where you met, was at a movie screening. or put the movie in front of an audience and have them screen it. That's what he told us. That's where you met was at a movie screening. Yeah, but that was the second time that that had actually happened. The first time was a year ago. Same scenario.

Like exact same scenario? Not the exact. So last time we hit it off during the screening and we were talking afterwards and then we ended up going to a bar and we got so, so sloppy drunk and I offered for him to come back to my place and he did. And well, we, we had fun and he, I mean, we were basically blackout drunk. And then, you know, next morning we parted ways, never saw or spoke to each other again. But then flash forward to, you know, just recently with the other screening, we hit it off again and went to his place. And we were

in the middle of things and I just saw something. Um, he has this birthmark that's like on his upper leg that he has this birthmark. Um, it was very distinctual and and I all of a sudden it hit me I remember why I remember this guy it was like an immediate turn off and you know just let the night play out and I left and what happened after I left is what pissed me off the most and why I didn't want to go back out with this guy what happened what? So I had just bought this really nice set of panties and underwear and I had accidentally left them. They were, they became my favorite pair. I accidentally left them at his place.

When you hooked up a year ago. Yes. Yeah, exactly. And so when I realized that when I got home, I texted him and he was like, oh, sorry, I threw them away. What? Aw. That quick? Yeah. So not only were they my favorite pair, but they were the most expensive pair.

Like I spent well over $100 on this pair. So you're not calling him back because you hooked up with him over a year ago. It looks like neither of you remember it because you were both drunk, I guess. Then you met him at a movie screening just a few weeks ago, hooked up with him again, saw the birthmark on his leg, and remembered that's the guy that threw out your favorite undies. Yep, that's it. Wow. All right. Maggie, Craig is on the line listening and wants to talk to you. Oh, my gosh.

Okay. Oh, my gosh. Hi. So I don't remember us hooking up at all. Are you sure that that happened? I mean, look, I was pretty drunk too, but there are two factors into that night that definitely make it sure that it's you. So, yeah, I mean, you do have a birthmark, right?

Everyone has a birthmark. What do you mean? Well, it's on your upper leg, your upper right leg, right? I mean, am I wrong? Okay. It's you, and you, like, threw away, like, the best, most expensive pair of underwear that I've ever owned. How do you know I threw them away? Because you told me.

And then I never spoke to you again me and then I never spoke to you again and then you never spoke to me again and like that was it I have never thrown a pair of underwear away that was left in my house so you definitely have me mistaken Are you sure that was me?

Um yeah because I've never slept with somebody with a birthmark like that. And I distinctly remember. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it. I'm just telling you that that's how I know it's you. I remember seeing that. That's only happened one other time, and that was a year ago.

No, I had a girlfriend a year ago. It couldn't have been me. Well, now I just feel like I'm being gaslit here. Somebody did, and somebody messaged me. I know for a fact I was sober the next day, painfully sober. And I remember getting a message when I asked about it. And it was a test for me too and everything. There's no way that all was just that all of this

was a coincidence and that I'm thinking of somebody else. Alright well you said that you met me at a movie screening what movie screening was it? Um it was for Yeah I have never seen that movie Oh Maggie

do you think that maybe you got Craig confused with somebody else who you met at that movie screening that threw away your underwear? Because I'm confused. I feel like he might be. Yeah. I don't even know what to think anymore. I mean, seriously, what are the odds that I go to a test screening twice and I have this incredible, like, perfect image of a birthmark on the exact same place as this guy.

I mean, unfortunately, it sounds like it's very likely. Maggie, like, honestly, like, if you would have left, like, your underwear at my house, I probably would have just, like, framed them and left, and I wouldn't have to send them away, so. You don't have to say all that. That's cute or creepy. Hey, Maggie, would you like to go out with Craig again on another date?

We'll pay for it. Now that you know he's not the guy that threw out your underwear, Craig would actually frame them. Yeah, I actually, I would like to. I mean, if you're interested, Craig. Awesome. Craig, are you down to go out with Maggie again? Yeah, that sounds actually really great.

That's awesome. Well, you guys have fun. And you know what? Maybe we'll send along a gift card for a framing shop, too, so that you can get those framing houses. Ooh, la la. That sounds perfect. The Jubal Show on demand.
