You ever meet someone and then you're like, you know what? They're great. I'm going to quit my job for them right now.

Change my whole entire life. No? No. Nope. Yeah. Neither have I. But Mike, who's on the phone for a first day follow-up right now did just that he risked his job and everything for the woman that he wants to call today bold man i'm being dramatic

right he said that they met up for a date and then that date continued on and they both ditched work so that he basically called in sick he didn't okay so sorry about like high school kids bunking off yeah bunking off yeah that's an english okay i. Yeah, that's an English term. Sorry. Once again, don't be weird. Oh, my God. Just move on. All right. Mike is on the phone. Mike, are you bunking off or what?

Well, you know, these English guys, I've heard of Shaggin before, but English people can't use English correctly. Yeah. You know, it's Evan. We deal with him. Yeah. Some weird stuff going on. But anyway.

Anyway, man, thank you for emailing the show. I read your email, and I was being dramatic there about you quitting your job and everything, but it says that you guys actually skipped work to hang out together? Yeah, I'll tell you the whole thing. Okay. Her name is Debra. Debra. Okay.

And this is one of these situations where I interacted with her a few times on Facebook because we have some mutual friends, and not like really good friends. So I didn't know her, but we just kind of were chatting back and forth on a couple of things. All right. And, you know, I said, hey, you know, maybe we should meet for lunch, you know, next week. And she's like, yeah, sure. Okay. So this is on Facebook okay did she actually so

this is on facebook did she actually type me or that's how you heard it in your head well she yeah i said hey you know whatever you want to do and she suggested um that we do lunch at this like really really good taco truck that she knows about and i was like all right yeah you know that that's a good idea tacos are always good you all right, yeah, you know, that's a good idea. They were fantastic. So, you know, we started talking and we're hitting off really well. So we kind of both decided to blow off the rest of our work days over to the bar that was across the street and, you know, had some drinks, had some, you know, fun with it and, you know, had a really good time, but, um, she's not getting back to me, and I kind of think I know why. Okay, why?

What did you do? Well, I kind of have this habit where when I get a few beers with me, I start talking a lot. Okay, so you did say that you guys went and blew off work and went day drinking. A lot of people talk a lot when they get drunk. Yeah, they do, and they say stupid things. Do you think you said something stupid? Well, I don't know if I said anything stupid. It was just I didn't let her get a word in edgewise.

It seemed like I was just rambling. And I don't want to speak on behalf of women, but I'm going to do it here. I think women really, really, really like it when you just talk the whole time and don't even listen to them on a date. Is that right? Oh yeah. They love it. Love it. Just talk about yourself. Yeah. That's probably actually, that's probably actually the worst thing that you could do. Well, that's what I did. I think I talked and I talked a lot about myself. So you obviously liked her though. Oh no, dude, I loved her. She was awesome. You didn't say that when you were drunk, did you? Uh, I, I don't, I hope not. That would be pretty, pretty bold. All right. Okay. How did your date end? I think, uh, it

became a little obvious that, obvious that she wanted to leave. She said she was starting to get cold. It got a little chilly, but I think that maybe this was more just like, this guy needs to sober up and shut up. It was that kind of a thing. I'm guessing no kiss, no hug. There was a hug. There was a hug.

Well, you know what they always say. Hugs, hugs, not drugs. They do say that. That's not what you're going to say? No, I was going to say where there's hugs, there's hope. Oh. They always say that, don't they? Who is they?

The people in my head that just said it right now. Oh, right. Yeah. I mean, the fact that she gave you a hug might be a good sign or no? Probably not. I hope so. You know, it's not like I fell down or anything. She wasn't holding me up. So hopefully that was fine. But, you know, it was kind of hard to tell. All right. And she hasn't responded to any of your phone calls or messages or anything?

Yeah, I messaged her a few times, you know, And she hasn't gotten back to me at all Okay Alright, well, we'll play a song And then come back and call her And see if we can figure it out for you In your first day follow-up, okay? I really appreciate it, thank you You're welcome

Remember, where there's hugs, there's hope So maybe we can get this done for you Alright, we'll do it next In your first day follow-up It's the Jubal Show First day follow-up. It's the Jubal Show. First day follow-up. I just want everybody to know that I'm going to be filthy rich. Are you?

Yes. Right in the middle of a first day follow-up. Yay. And if you missed the first part, I just coined a phrase that's going to be on t-shirts. It's going to be on coffee mugs. It's going to be everywhere. I made it up right then and there and nobody gave me the respect that it deserves.

As a matter of fact, you guys and Mike, the guy who's on the phone today, even laughed at it. Isn't that right, Mike? Yeah, I thought it was funny. It wasn't supposed to be funny. It was supposed to be thought-provoking

and I'm going to be the one laughing last when I am on a jet somewhere because I have all kinds of money because I've sold so many t-shirts that say where there's hugs there's hope on them something yeah it does sound stupid not gonna happen no I don't think it's gonna happen all right I'll just stay here for a while perfect phrase for you you're doing great sweetie thank you I said that because Mike is on the phone for a first date follow-up and he went out with a girl named Debra They met for tacos. Then they blew off work and went day drinking.

He says that everything was going great. And at a certain point, he could tell that she was not really into him. He thinks the problem is he got too drunk, too talkative, might have only talked about himself the whole time and not listened to her. But he did say at the end of the date, he got a hug. And that's where I came up with that amazing phrase that nobody's giving me credit for where there's hugs there's help and that's why i said he might be able to get a second date um because she hasn't responded to anything from him all right mike are you ready for us to call her and see if we can figure it out i am ready all right

here we go Hello? Hi, may I speak to Debra, please? Speaking. Hey, Debra, how are you? This is Jubal from The Jubal Show. Who from the what show? Jubal from The Jubal Show. Like I said, it's a radio show.

It consists of me. I'm the host. My name is Jubal Fresh. With me is my hot ass wife, Alex Vriesch. Hello. And English Evan. Good morning. Okay. How can I help you? Well, we are calling you today because we got an email about you from one of our listeners. And I know it's kind of weird to be getting a call from a radio show out of the blue. Yeah. But I'm wondering if you can talk to us for a second. Okay, sure. What's up?

Well, we do a segment on our show called the First Date Follow-Up. What that is is if you go out on a date with somebody and then end up ghosting them, they can email us

to get you on the phone and find out what happened. And recently, you went out for tacos with a guy named Mike. Oh, great. That's what this is about? Yes, that's exactly what this is about. Mike emailed us and said that he really enjoyed going out with you. And then he also told us that you're not calling him back and he doesn't know why. Would you mind telling us why? That's crazy.

Um, okay. So, well, here's the thing. He kind of said some things I didn't like. Okay, that sounds pretty much on par with what he told us. So he told us that you guys met for tacos, you ditched work, and you got a little day drunk together. And he says that he thinks you're not calling him back because he talks too much and he didn't take the time to actually listen to you and he just talked about himself the whole time. Which I thought was a very attractive feature, a very attractive thing for a guy to do on a date. But I would think you would probably disagree with that.

That's pretty, that's pretty straight to the point, but there was, there was more, there was more. Okay. Can you tell us what the more is? Well,

first of all, he, he, he was talking about politics and stuff, which is something that I don't care to talk about in general. Not a great subject for a first date, no. And then on top of that, like, he's got, like, all of his kids' names planned out. Oh. All of his kids' names.

Oh, like, he has already named his unborn children? Exactly. Wait, hold on. But on but i mean why is that weird well that's more of like a female thing yeah i guess you're right i've never met a guy who's done that ever in my life you thought it was weird that he named that he had baby names already in his head just one name was like really troubling for me. He wants to name one of his kids Rifle, like the gun. Rifle? Rifle? I'd name mine Ruger. Two of them. Twins, Rifle and Ruger. So that's it?

I just think it's weird to name your kid after a gun. I can see a celebrity doing it, though. Oh, yeah, for sure. Was he a celebrity? Debra? No, he's not a celebrity. Aside from that, though, was he normal? He seemed normal at first, but once he started talking, you couldn't shut him up.

All right. Well, thank you for being honest with us. I appreciate it. No problem. And before you go, just one second. I would like to let you know that Rifle's daddy is on the phone. Oh, God. You're not telling me what I think you go, just one second, I would like to let you know that Rifle's daddy is on the phone. Oh, God. You're not telling me what I think you are, right?

Yes, I am. And if you're thinking that Mike is actually on the other line listening and wants to talk to you, because that's exactly what I'm telling you. Mike? No. Hey, Debra. Hey. Yeah, well, I had no idea that was the reason. Yeah, I'm sorry.

I didn't realize you were on the other, you know, on the line, and you could hear everything I had to say. Maybe I would have been nicer about how I said it. But, yeah, Rifle's a dumb name for a kid. Oh, damn. Wow, you went straight to dumb. You actually got more rude with him on the phone. Yeah.

Well, I guess everybody has an opinion. I don't think it's a dumb name at all. I think it's a great name, but that's the reason, because that's what I want to name a kid that's not even born yet. I think that's a little strange. I think you're strange. Okay. Deborah, you were just saying that you were sorry about him hearing you

and that you said it, that you thought you were a little mean, but now you're just kind of being rude to him. Yeah. Well, now I'm mad because I got set up on the radio. So now it's not even about the kid's name. It's about that. Yeah. I don't like being put on the spot like that. Okay. That's fair enough. Take a hint. When somebody doesn't respond, it means they don't want to respond.

How many times has he reached out? At least 20. Oh, we didn't know that. Yeah, no response 20 times. Yeah, that's a little bit much there, Mike. Well, I don't know if it was actually 20, but I just don't understand why you wouldn't say, hey,

you know, had a nice time, but not interested. You know, and that would be that. Maybe if I had a nice time, that's how i would have responded oh this is deteriorating yeah take it easy wow okay well i guess i guess we know where this is going guys and it's going right to a second date i can feel it uh deborah would you like to go out with mike again on second date we'll pay for it not happening what You sure? Am I listening to the same phone call here? Because I could have sworn

you guys were hitting it off. What was your name again? Jubal. You're actually really annoying. Why are you turning on me now? I'm trying to Yeah. Okay. You know normally I would let that hurt me but I just want to let you know that where there's hugs there's

hope. It didn't really work the same, did it? What the f*** does that even mean? Nothing. It just means bye. That's the way we say it here on the show. So thank you for your time. Appreciate it.

Yeah. Wow. She was nice. Yeah. Mike, are you still there? Yeah. Yeah. It looks like I dodged a bullet there.

A bullet from, huh? Pulled it from rifle. Yes. Thank you. Man, I was the most annoying I've ever been on this second date. I apologize to everybody listening. Mike, thanks for your email, man. I'm glad that you did dodge a bullet, though. She didn't sound very nice.

Yeah, no, I think this has worked out for the best. Thank you guys so much. Yeah, man. Hey, everyone. She didn't sound very nice. Yeah, no, I think this has worked out for the best.
