First date follow-up. James is on the phone today for a first date follow-up, and he's getting ghosted by Missy. So in a few minutes, we'll call her and see if she'll tell us why she's ghosting him and maybe get him a second date. But first, James, how long has it been since you heard from Missy? Oh, man, it's been like a lot. little bit of time. I'd probably say it's like a week, week and a half. Okay.

Definitely feels like it's a little, feels like it's a little too long to reach out. So I'm, I'm trying to figure out what the right move is, but I just can't figure out why it happened. Okay. Well, why don't you tell us about the date? Yeah. So, I mean, like, I, I, I, I, went strong and wrong. I was, like, really excited about this little craft beer tasting that I wanted to check out, which would have been super clutch, if she drank. Oh, no. Yeah, I, like, straight out the gate, Marty battened out like a zero. I felt terrible.

She was cool about it, but I could tell it wasn't like her thing because it was pretty much just beer and, like, high noons. And I panicked and we pivoted and ended up walking to this ice cream shop that was pretty close by down the block and then we you know went on a walk-and-talk okay that's great yeah i thought it was cute and she seemed like you know she was pretty on board with it we were talking about our childhoods all the weird hobbies and stuff you have as kids i had texted her after say it was a good time and you know nothing went on after that did you feel like she had a good time like were you feeling like it was reciprocated while you were on your walk-and-talk yeah i mean the energy felt like light we were

cracking jokes with each other. She was smiling. You know, it wasn't like the sun was still out, so it didn't feel like it was creepy or anything. I don't know. It just felt like I started so strong and so wrong that it was so hard to turn away from. But she was like such a good sport that I was like, you know, I assumed she wanted to try

again. Why do you think she's ghosting you? I'm like, I really feel like it's the beer thing. I really messed up straight. at the gate or like maybe we didn't have enough of common. I just keep thinking about it and it just like, you know, we had ice cream. We went for a walk. We talked and then it was over.

She, she got this like phone call to leave, but it didn't feel real, I guess. Oh, like she had a friend, like. Yeah. James is on the phone and he's getting ghosted by Missy. So we're about to call her and see if she'll tell us why she's ghosting him and maybe get him a second date. But first, James, why don't you recap your date for us real quick? For sure. I went to take her to like a microbrewery tasting. She does drink. We roll with the punches. Go get some ice cream going to walk. Have some really good talk. It's really good laughs.

I think it's like going somewhere and then she like checks your phone. It's really polite but dips. And it's been like a week and change. Okay. Are you ready for us to call her? Yeah, man. It's the not knowing that's the worst. All right. All right. Here we go. Hello. Hi, man, speak to Missy, please.

Yeah, this is Missy. Hey, Missy, how are you? This is the Jubal show. It's a radio show. Hi, Missy, I'm Nina. Hi, I'm Victoria. And my name is Jubal. What's up?

Oh, hi. Hi. What's going on? Not much. Have you ever listened to the show before? Yeah, I have. Oh, sweet. Why are you calling?

Well, Missy, because we do a segment called the first-day follow-up. That's where if he goes somebody, they can email us to call you. to call you and get you on the phone and ask why you're ghosting them. Oh, my God. Is this about James? Yes. Oh, okay. Yeah.

It is about James. So you are ghosting James. Yeah. Okay. You mind telling us why? Yeah. It sounds bad. Like, I'm not a ghoster, okay?

But he was sweet and we did have a good time. Like, he tried. I mean, the beginning of the day was kind of odd. But the thing is, he took me on a walk through a jost. junkyard. It was just a bunch of broken, rusty parts, broken down cars, loose gravel. Like, it wasn't what I was looking for exactly. But the thing is, I watched so much true crime. And I've heard that story a thousand times. Girls get lured into sketchy places by the nice guy. Like, I'm not going to be part of the next podcast episode, okay?

Girl, you were part of the episode. You went to the junkyard. I know you got that far. What was the plan if you were in the middle of Well, look, I just made up a reason to leave. Like, I didn't want to risk it because he just seemed too into the junkyard and being there. Yeah, he didn't tell us that he took you to a junkyard. Look, I don't know. It just, it wasn't my thing. Like, I had bad signs and I just wanted to get out of there fast. All right.

Well, thank you for telling us. I can see how that would be a little off-putting to be taken to a junkyard. Yes. For no reason. I never thought. I never thought that that's new. that a guy would take me there. Missy, James is on the phone and wants to talk to you.

Hey, Missy. James, you got some swainting to do. No, I feel I'm so embarrassed. You thought I was just like luring you to a junkyard to murder you? You put it like that. Okay. I mean, now that you say it out loud, it does sound extreme, but, you know, it was sketchy, James. I mean, that's fair.

some random dude was ended up wandering me into a junkyard, I'd be a little freaked out. But like I wasn't, I wasn't trying to be creepy. I like, my family didn't have a lot growing up. So like, free time, my brother and I used to like go to the junkyard and like root around and either try to find stuff that we could fix up or find cool stuff that people threw away. You know, so like we were always making the best out of a worst situation. And I guess on like some weird subconscious level, it's what I was still doing. but, you know, we were eating ice cream. I wasn't intending to go to the junkyard.

It was just, like, right where we were. So it seemed like a trip down memory lane. It was something I feel like I wanted to share. I don't know. Yeah, James, but you could have told me that. Like, I was on edge the whole time while I was there. I mean, you would have said anything about your family, you know, about how important it was to you.

And instead, you're over here, like, bringing me into, like, the most contact area. It's kind of gross. You know, there's a lot of junk. Not that glamorous. What were you thinking? You didn't like any part of the junkyard? Not when that machine was like crushing the car

and like all the cool broken glasses stuff around. No, absolutely not. No. I mean, have you done this to other girls? Like, is this your idea of a cute state? Like done this to other girls? It wasn't my intention, but I guess like, no, this was a one-of-a-kind thing.

you were the only girl I wanted to take to the junkyard. Oh. Oh. I never thought that would sound so sweet. I just, I mean, yeah. I didn't want to, I didn't want to make you scared. And I clearly messed that up. Gosh, I don't know.

I don't know how to feel about it because, like, I genuinely was scared for my life when we were there. But, I mean, like, I know, I know, I know. Okay. I know it sounds like I was overreacting. So. Not really. Well, I feel just terrible about how it ended. And if you feel like taking another risk on me, I promise I will not take you to the junkyard.

We can go get some mocktails or small place or whatever it is that is the furthest thing away from a microbrewery and trash. Actually, you know, if you're willing to maybe go on another date, when you left, I found this cool thing that at the juncture at that, like, I thought would be cool to gift you. Oh, hey, Missy, would you like to go on another date with James? We'll pay for it. Wait, you made me something from the junkyard? Yeah, there was this really, you know, there was a lot of hidden potential behind this thing that I saw, so I made you something and thought it would look good on you.

Wow. I mean, yeah, that's unique, I guess, but thank you. Is that a yes, Missy? Yeah, yeah, I believe him. Like, he seems sincere, so I just going to have to put my fear away and I'll give him another shot. You can share your location with all your best friends. I was going to say, keep it a little bit. It can be the most public place.

You can invite a bunch of your friends. I will make it as safe of an environment and the least trash light that I can. But this necklace has got to look great on you. Made out of water. You polish it dirty enough piece of metal and it shines just like your eyes. Oh, now that, there you go, Missy. That's a good, cute. Jeeble's first date follow-up.
