John is on the phone today for a first date follow-up and he's getting ghosted by a woman named Clover. So in a few minutes, we're going to call her and see if she'll tell us why she's ghosting him and maybe get him another date.

But first, John, how long has it been since you heard from Chloe? It's been like two weeks. I feel like I've given it enough of time to, like, give it a breath and see if it was just me or something. I did weird, but, like, I really, I don't know. I thought we were vibed. Yeah, two weeks is kind of a long time to not hear anything. I mean, unless maybe she's just really busy. Did you get that vibe?

it didn't really seem like that like we so for for starters like I wanted to do something fun and interactive something that like didn't make us think about the fact that we were like just trying to get to know each other so I signed us up for a cooking class something something you know that we had something to do and we could figure out probably all together so we took this cooking class it's more of a baking class we tried we tried to make a cake I think what came out was like pretty edible it was really cool the instructor was really sweet they had some wine flowing they had good music it seemed like it was a good time well why do you think you're getting ghosted i'm not i'm not sure man like after after the day we we went out we had coffee

we took a walk around the park and just chatted and she was like whip smart like annoyingly smart in in a good way in like the best way she was like funny she was kind and and and i mean i I was nervous, but she had me in stitches. And I'm confused because, like, we even kissed. It wasn't, like, movie magic. It was a quick moment, and it seemed like she kind of, like, pulled away pretty fast, but the lead into it seemed very open and receptive. Why would she pull away?

I don't know. And maybe she, like, she, like, wanted to keep things more prim and proper for her first date, which I can respect. I mean, I'm just, like, maybe she's, She has, like, a kid I don't know about, or she's worried that I have kids or something, you know? Maybe she just got, like, weirded out or she hasn't been on a day in a while and was like, maybe this isn't the right guy for my kid or something? I don't know. Okay, so she does have a kid?

Or you just think she has a kid? I have no clue. Maybe there is a kid. I'm trying to create scenarios to figure out. Okay. So you're just going deep down a rabbit hole of, like, reasons, and you went straight to kids. I'm in the weeds. Anything's possible, I guess.

All right. Well, is there anything else other than maybe one of you guys has a secret kid? I think the reason I care so much is, like, most of the other days I've been on are just really, like, banal small talk. And we got into some, we got into some stuff. We started, you know, really getting esoteric. It was nice. It was lovely. It didn't feel like a first date.

Nice word. Thank you. Yeah, I studied my activities. Yeah, I see that. And, man, I don't know if it was like, maybe she, maybe she's in like a pollicule or something, and I'm not the right fit, but I really, I just, a pollicule, like she's Polly. Like, she's in a, she's in a multiple relationships or something. Oh, my God. Oh.

I keep trying to come up with, like, you know, anything under the sun to explain it. Okay. Well, I keep replaying it over and over in my head, and I, like, I don't want to pat myself on the back too much, but I think I did. did a pretty good job, and I think I'm pretty personal, so maybe I'm just really ugly. Hopefully that's not it, but we'll find out for you. Yeah, you got some pretty things there. Okay. We'll play a song, come back, and then call her and see if she'll tell us why she's ghosting you and maybe get you a second date, okay?

Hey, thanks so much, guys. I really appreciate it. We'll get your first day follow up right after this. It's The Jubal Show. On the latest episode of Next Question with me, Katie Couric, I sat down with Bernie Sanders, who is 84 years old, has spent 34 years in Congress, and he can still pack a rally with people a quarter of his age. Denver, 34,000 people come out, Salt Lake City, 20,000 people out. You know, huge turnouts.

People are really dissatisfied about the status quo. His fighting oligarchy tour with AOC and other young progressives, has become a movement, but is his message too far to the left? Well, he certainly doesn't think so. Is that sound like a radical idea, Katie? Is that too far left for you? Okay, okay. I get your point, Bernie.

We talk about the billionaire class, the cost of living, and of course, the government shut down, not to mention the current state of the Democratic Party. To me, the failure of the Democratic Party has been an unwillingness to recognize the religiousism. Open your free IHeartRadio app. Search next question with Katie Couric and listen now.

My book The Big Short tells the story of the buildup and burst of the U.S. housing market back in 2008. It follows a few unlikely but lucky people who saw the real estate market for the black hole it would become and eventually made billions of dollars from that perception. It was like feeding the monster, said Eisman. We fed the monster until it blew up. The monster was exploding. Yet on the streets of Manhattan, there was no sign anything important had just happened.

Now, 15 years after the Big Short's original release, and a decade after it became an Academy Award-winning movie, I've recorded an audiobook edition for the very first time. The Big Short Story, what it means when people start betting against the market, and who really pays for an unchecked financial system, is as relevant today as it's ever been, offering invaluable insight into the current economy and also today's politics.

by a woman named Chloe, 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, John, why don't you recap your date again for us real quick before we call her? We went to a little make-and-bake cake date, had some coffee, took a walk, shared a kiss, and that was it. And then you've got some interesting reasons as to why you think you might be getting ghosted. I just think I'm probably spiraling out of control. All the reasons that I can think of is she's Polly. or I'm ugly or, you know, she's got a kid and doesn't, you know, want to be dating around dude. I have no clue.

I have no clue. Okay. Well, are you ready for us to call her? Yeah, man. I got to know. Okay, here we go. Hello? Hi, me, I speak to Chloe, please.

This is she. Hey, Chloe. How are you? this is a radio show. It's called The Jubal Show. Hi, Chloe. I'm Nina. Hi, I'm Victoria.

And my name's Jubal. What's up? Hi. Did I win something? I don't know yet, actually. But we did get an email about you, Chloe. That's why we're calling. An email?

I'm sorry. What is this? It's a radio show called the Jubal show. And we do a segment on our show that's called the first date follow-up. That's where if you go out on a date with somebody and you end up ghosting them, that person can email us to get you on the phone. and ask why you're ghosting them. And somebody emailed us saying that you're not calling them back

after you had a date. They really liked you. And they're wondering if we can figure out why you're getting ghosted. I'm really confused. I'm not really sure why you guys. I don't really know what you're talking about. I'm sorry.

A few weeks ago, you went on a day with a guy named John. Wait, John? It's not really going to be about. Did you go make a cake with a guy? Oh. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. McKenzie is going to die when she hears this.

Yes, I do know what you're talking about now. This is, I can't even believe that you're calling me about this. This guy was like the complete weirdo I went out with two weeks ago. You think he's a weirdo? And who's McKenzie? McKenzie is my best friend. And she actually, she went out with this guy. And she was telling me this horror story.

um and there was a group of friends and we just kind of had this bet about how i didn't really believe how bad the date was so she told me i needed to go out with him to find out myself so oh your friend went out with him didn't like the date and then told you that you have to check it out for yourself and that's why you went out with him girl that's terrible i don't think it's that terrible she he was like pretty awful to my friends i don't see a problem with it he was super weird and my friend was telling me about it, so we just thought it would be hilarious if I actually went out on a date with this guy. So you had no intention of calling him back. You just wanted to go check it out and see what your friend was talking about.

She had a bet that I couldn't make it two hours on a date with this guy, and I made it just to two hours, and that was all an example. So it was a bet? What was so weird? He dresses, like,

super weird. He had a hat with like these peacock feathers on it and then had a flannel shirt with a flannel shirt and then a hat with peacock feathers and then he picked his teeth a lot like with his fingernails and we were making a cake

it was disgusting he just like used a lot of big words like trying to tell like make it seem like he was really smart and it just felt like really unnecessary thank you for telling us Chloe appreciate that and and now I should let you know that John is actually on the phone

and has been listening and wants to talk to you. Wait, what? Well, not anymore. John's on the phone? Uh-huh. Yep. Yeah, it's Mr. Peacock. What's going on?

I mean, I can't even, I can't believe you wrote into the radio. I can just say, sup. Wow. Okay. I mean, if this doesn't prove the point that I'm trying to make, I don't know what does. He wrote a radio. station to confront me about this.

I mean, are you kidding me? It's not that on crime. Do you realize how unbelievably f***ed up it is to just go on a date with somebody as a joke? I think it's pretty f***ed up that you decided to then confront me on a public radio station afterwards, so you can think about what you're doing, too. Yeah, I am. I didn't understand what was happening, and you wouldn't get back to me. So, I mean, if you want to keep ruining and meddling in other people's lives, just as a lark, more power to you.

And you're exaggerating about the hat. Yeah, there are peacock feathers in it, but it's a regular hat. It's just like, it's a little pop of color, and I didn't wear it the whole time. I wore while we were outside. Any hat with peacock feathers in it is not a normal hat. Let's just put that right on the table there, first of all. I don't know why you needed to come and confront me. Anyone who's going on a date with somebody just to laugh at them with their friends is kind of messed up too.

Wouldn't you at least agree? Can we meet halfway? You picked your teeth and then made a cake. I don't really know what else to tell you about this situation. I mean, I do not know. And you spent two hours on a date with somebody that you had no interest with. That's like way more of a move than picking. take batter out of your teeth

I don't know I won the bet I'm sure I'm sure you won the bet maybe you can take all those winnings and buy a personality that's worth a damn Wow

okay I mean I have a personality I have a boyfriend Wait you have a boyfriend Wait what That's so messed up Why don't you know about our date What's his name? Maybe I'll message him You went out on a little chat

A date with John because your friend said he was weird and you have a boyfriend But you don't think that's weird? Yeah, it was a bet It wasn't anything serious Does your boyfriend know you did this? He knows that we have like a friendship like that

That we do like fun best like that He knows that I don't think I actually told him I went on a date but he knows that like We do fun stuff But it doesn't mean anything Girl You hear yourself right I just want to make sure that we're all living in that reality

Yeah I don't see a problem with it i don't know why you have an issue with it i i can't imagine why anybody wouldn't have an issue with that but you know what thanks for showing your true colors i uh i got the answers i need ploy would you like another date with john we'll pay for it no i just told you guys i have a boyfriend this is like actually not what this has been such a f***ing waste of my time all you can just f*** off wow whoa wow she's gone john she hung up i'm sorry i couldn't get you another day with her. She sounds super sweet. I think I dodged a bullet. So, uh,
