So in a second, we're going to call her and see if she'll tell us why she's ghosting him and maybe to get him another day. But first, Josh, how long has it been since you heard from Taryn? Oh, man. I think it's been like six days. I love when they're at the exact number. You know, you're feeling that person. If you're saying it was six days. Did you try to reach out to her in that time? I did. I tried sending text messages. I've only called there one time, you know, because I don't want to seem like a creep. Sure. But nothing, no response, no like on the text messages. You know, so we have iPhone. so she used to have the red

settings on but I don't know she just took them off I don't I don't really know what's going on well what happened I would tell us about the date first all right so long as we're short you know we're on the same softball team and you know after practice last week I offered to give her a right home and just so you know guys there's always been some sort of flirty tension like she literally winked at me

during like batting practice so I see her looking at me we always lock eyes we kind of laugh to each other and you know what we's talking. Everything is going good. And so I told her we can hang out at my place, have a beer, maybe chill a bit. And she said yes very quickly. So I took that as like a green light to, you know, let's hang out at my place. Yeah.

But here's the thing. So my apartment isn't great right now. And I pretty much told her that. I gave her a full disclaimer. I literally told her. I said, hey, it's going to look like one of those post-apocalyptic episodes of borders. I don't know if you guys had seen the shows. oh no okay yeah so she said she said she didn't care and quote unquote

I'm not precious she said and and so you know it just I don't know it just was weird like you know she came over we were hanging out and all that good stuff and I just don't get it you know it just we were having a good time and then she leaves and now I had getting no response from her and and we were laughing it was like one of those random dates at my place You know, it wasn't planned. It wasn't, like, spontaneous. We just went over. I had a movie plane.

You know, I had chips and stuff. So everything seemed to be going really good. I just, like, I don't know. I don't know what it is. You don't know at all why she might be ghosting you? I mean, I hope it's not like, you know, my house, by the way, was a huge mess. I mean, that, that would suck. But, yeah, I mean, it just, yeah, it just sucks because I really like her.

And I haven't told her that I like her yet. I just, I know that she likes me as well, you know. So, how do you know? I mean, she came over my place, you know. Usually we always go, you know, with a team, you know, to get some, you know, sports bar or something like that. Usually we see each other like in a group setting, but when I kind of just casually asked her, hey, want to go to my place?

And she said, yes, right away. I kind of thought at that moment, okay, I think this is going to maybe the next level, wherever this may be. How messy was your place, though? You say that you warned her and you said post-apokrefer. but like are we talking about like mold on things like kitty litter on the floor well you guys I warned her like I mean I did not okay Josh that's when you don't invite somebody to your house I mean I don't know I just it wasn't like I told her hey come see my

pristine loft you know I didn't I didn't make it seem like it was all something else but yeah total frat house you know I'm going to be honest with you and she even by the way when she came in she kind of like looked around and I said I'm so sorry you know I know it's a mess and she said no don't worry I appreciate your honesty and she even joked about it and she even told me how messy her car was okay so now did I think about it I did have a box of pizza out from last week I feel like this whole conversation started with the big red flag and you keep making it sound so sweet by saying but I told her though like you can only get away with so much I mean, look, if it's the, if it's my hideous apartment, you know, everything pretty much like, you know, messy everywhere, the pizza boxes and the, you know, I had like gatorade bottles. That's pretty gross, Josh. Then that's going to be horrible, you know. That's going to be like the worst of the worst. All right.

Well, we'll see if we can figure it out. We'll play a song, come back, and then call her and see if she tells us why she's ghosting you and maybe get to another date, okay? All right. All right. We'll get your first day follow up next. right in the middle of your first date follow up if you're just joining us josh is on the phone and he's getting ghosted by taren 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 before we do that though josh why don't you catch us up on your situation again real quick yeah i think it was going great you went back to my place after practice you know we had some some lunch there watching tv and she just ghosted me she left and i think that i mean i don't know i think it's the pizza boxes guys i mean i don't know maybe the catereret bottles i don't know i It was messy. I told her that my face was a little messy.

She said she liked my honesty. So that's where we're at. Okay. I hope you've cleaned. Well, we'll see if that is it. Are you ready for us to call her? Are you guys going to tell him on the phone or not? Or just, do I say quiet?

Well, you can stay quiet at first. Eventually, we'll tell her. All right. All right, go. All right, go. All right, let's go. Hello? Hi, man, I speak to Terran, please.

This is she. Taryn, how are you? This is a radio show. It's called The Jubal Show. Hi, I'm Nina. Hi, I'm Victoria. And my name's Jubal. How are you?

Wait, what is this? It's a radio show called The Jubal Show. Like, I'm confused. I haven't like, why are you calling me? Well, we're calling you because we actually got an email about you. Okay. It's from somebody who listens to the show. And we do a segment on a show that's called the first date follow-up.

That's where if you go on a date with somebody and then you end up ghosting them, that person can email us to ask you why you're ghosting them. And we got an email about you from somebody that you're not calling back. I'm sorry No, like this isn't real right Like this is a joke Are you guys joking? No, it's not a joke

Who are you ghosting? Oh my God Is it Josh? Yes, it is Josh Josh emailed us He told us a little bit about your date And he's confused He said he really liked you

And he thought you were into him He wants to know why you're ghosting him Honestly, I mean if he really wants to know I'm ghosting him because he's a mansplainer, like, an aggressive mansplainer. Like, on the date, like, things would be, like, going fine, and he would literally pause what we're doing to explain something to me. And, like, not things that are, like, I don't know what they are.

Oh, that might be interesting, but, like, basic things. Like, at one point, we're making out, and he literally paused to say, you know, physical chemistry is just the result of electrical. signals in the brain and I'm like, why are you interrupting us making out to tell me about this? Like, read the room, dude.

That's okay. He thought it was endearing. Okay, well, then he explained to me the rules of softball. To me, me. I've played for 10 years and I'm literally our team shortstop. I'm sorry, but like there's no excuse for this.

He told me why the glove is shaped the way it is. Like I'm a freaking and toddler. Oh, okay. Really? He's hot, like, ridiculously hot, like extremely freaking hot. That's why I was, like, you know, kind of end him at first.

But, and I tried to ignore it because he is really good looking. But it's like once I spend time with him and everything was just mansplained this, mansplain. I was just, I couldn't. Hold up. Hold up. Hold on. Taryn?

Taryn, that's, Josh. He's actually on the phone who wants to talk to you. Oh, my God. so because I know things and I wanted to share them with you that's why you're ghosting me because I explain stuff that's like nerdy charm I thought that was like a cute thing I thought you were into that stuff nerdy charm you literally stopped kissing me

to break down why some people just click who does that that's kind of cute I was nervous I thought you were smart I thought you'd appreciate insight yeah insight is when someone offers you something you didn't already know Not when some dude explains how beer is carbonated, like a plot twist. Well, maybe, maybe you could have just said something instead of just ignoring me like that.

And then, you know, you're I'm calling the radio. Like, I thought you were cool. Just, man, I just, you're just like all the rest. Well, you know, you're just like every guy who thinks being condescending is a personality trait. Look, Josh, you're hot, but that's not enough to sit through a freaking TED talk every time I touch your arm. cool okay i understand you now and you know i don't date people who lie and go so you know have fun being you know mediocre terran have fun with that okay i thought you were i thought you were i didn't lie to you yeah you know you know this is just i'm embarrassed and you just so what do we do now

we just what say hi and practice like we ignore each other taren would you like another date with josh we'll pay for it i would love another day no i definitely just called her mediocre with Josh, I'm, I'm good on that. And also, I'd just like to say, nobody's toilet should look like that. Like, get it together, John. Oh, no. I had told you that my apartment was messy.

Okay, you don't have to throw it out. You know, I was going to let it fly at first, but now I'm not. It's really nasty. Like, you're a grown man. You need to figure that out. Oh, you can't hold that against me. No, no, no.

No, thank you. Nope. Yeah, what do you guys do now for your games? Pretend you don't know each other, get on another team? I'm open to forgetting everything about, like, I'm open to forgetting this ever happened, and I'm sorry, and, you know, it just sucks. That's all. Yeah, I mean, I think that we were fine at practice before, so maybe things could just go back to the way they were. Pretend like you never saw us toilet.
