First date follow-up. Finn is on the phone today for a first date follow-up, and Ben has three reasons he thinks he's not getting a call back from Haley, the girl that he went out with. Three reasons.

Normally, people can't think of one, so we'll find out what all three of them are and see if we can get him another date right now. Ben, thank you for your email. I'm sorry that you are not getting a call back from Haley, and I'm sorry that you have three reasons to choose from, but before we find before we start with, before we find out what those reasons are, how long has it been since your date? Yeah, pretty miffed. I guess I kind of messed up or something. I don't know what's going on, but I have three leads that I think why this awesome girl, woman, won't get back to me after what I thought was a great date.

Well, we went to Cheesecake Factory. We both, I know we liked it and it's casual, just kind of easy. Cheesecake Factory's not easy. What are you talking about? No, it's not.

You can never get in. Well, you can't get in. It's always packed and their menu is like a novel. Oh my God, that's what I was going to say. It's longer than the Bible.

It's overwhelming. It is. How do they have that much options? Like, what do they get their food? I'll just tell the server to pick something for me. I used to want to, I worked at serving a lot growing up, for a lot of my life, and I used

to want to be a server at Cheesecake Factory because they make a lot of money, they make good tips, until I found out you had to go to basically Cheesecake Factory College and get a degree in their menu, and I was like, no, I'm not doing that. No thanks. So anyway, you went to Cheesecake Factory. I thought it was a great time. I think I might have, I don't know.

I don't know. I talked a lot. I was a little nervous. Okay. So I'm thinking that might be one of the reasons Haley hasn't texted me, called me,

or turned my voice messages, anything. I talked a lot about politics, which is kind of like my thing. Probably not a good move. That's like something you should never do on a first date. I know, but it's very much who I am.

And then I was coming from work, so I had my suit. It was kind of like not very... If you're in a suit, that's cool. Women like dudes in uniform. That's also cool. Unless it's a McDonald's uniform, they probably don't like you as much, but... I guess it could have its benefits, but I don't know if she didn't seem that interested

in my work, which is also politics, but I guess the last thing I can think of is that we went Dutch on the bill. We split the bill, and I didn't pay for it at all. We just, you know, split the bill. It was the first date, kind of modern. Yeah, I don't think that's ever really a hit.

You know, I've been doing these for a long time and I don't think that that really ever goes over very well when you both split the bill on a first date.

Somebody should pay. I feel like that's how it should be. Can I tell you the one thing I've noticed in this conversation so far is that you said you were fearful you talked too much

and then you also said you left her voice messages after the date. How many voice messages are we talking? Just three. You're still continuing to talk a lot. Yeah, exactly. That's a lot of things.

I left a voicemail for someone the other day, and it was actually a work call. Normally, I wouldn't even leave a voicemail, and for some reason, I decided to leave a voicemail, and it felt so weird after. I was like, I shouldn't have done that. No wonder they haven for some reason, I decided to leave a voicemail. And it felt so weird. I shouldn't have done that. No wonder they haven't called me back. They probably haven't listened to it.

I delete mine without even listening to it. How did it end? Well, it kind of just went our separate ways. It was, you know, I didn't leave it for kids or anything. But I said, oh, let's do this again. Okay. kiss or anything but uh i said oh let's do this again okay what i what i was trying to get at was it would did it seem like she also wanted to see you again and like she had a good time at the end of the date or did it seem like she was just like all right bye uh you know she's a little distracted

but uh that's why i keep thinking it's because i talk too much but i couldn't read her and i really like her a lot and she's smart and just really attractive and successful and interesting. She's, you know, one of those girls that you'd be really lucky

to be with. Oh, all right. Well, let's see. Well, I wish someone would say that about me. We'll see if we can get you lucky.

Thanks, guys. I need it. Yeah, no problem. We'll play a song, come back, and then call her and find out what the actual reason is that she's not calling you back and try to get you another date in your first date follow-up next.

Right in the middle of your first date follow-up, if you're just joining us, Ben is on the phone and Ben isn't getting a call back from Haley. Ben thinks that the reason he's getting ghosted is because, well, reasons that he's getting ghosted is because he talked too much on the date, he feels like. He also talked about politics, which you should never do. That's one of the three things you should never do on a first date. He talked politics. Also, they split the bill.

He thinks he should have paid instead of splitting the bill. He also was still in his work clothes. He says it was a suit, which I think would be fine. Unless, do you work as a clown or something? Was it a clown suit? That could be weird. It was not a clown suit. It was my suit. But it still kind of felt weird.

No one else was in the suit. Oh, okay. So you were the only guy in the suit at the Cheesecake Factory. Dude, you should have owned that. You should have been like, yeah, I go everywhere like this. Well, we're about to call Haley and see if we can figure out what the actual reason is that she's not calling him back. Was it the suit?

Was it the fact that he talked a bunch and about politics? Was it the fact that they split the bill or something else? I'm going to dial her phone number right now, okay? All right. Thanks. Yep. Here we go. Hello?

Hi, man. Speak to Haley, please? This is her. Haley, how are you? This is, well, my name is Jubal from a radio show called The Jubal Show. And my name is Alex from the same show. And I'm Christian, also from the same show. Okay.

How's it going? Why are you calling? We're calling because we do a segment on the show called The First Date Follow-Up. What that is is if you go out on a date with someone and then you end up ghosting them they can email us to get you on the phone and ask what happened and we got an email about you from someone named ben oh yeah yeah i went on i went on a i went on a tinder date you don't sound too excited yeah do you want to tell us what happened and why you're ghosting him? I'm not ghosting him. He was great. It just didn't work.

It wasn't a match. Okay. Like, what was it about the date or what happened that made you not want to see him again? Okay, well, the truth. He wasn't the guy I was supposed to be meeting for the date. He wasn't the person you were supposed to meet for the date? Okay, so, you know, tender profile pictures? There was two people in those pictures, the same two people in those pictures,

and I thought I was meeting the other one. Oh, no. Wow. Are you kidding? Who else was in the profile picture with him? Was it just like a friend of his? I guess it's a friend of his who I'm still very interested in, but it wasn't his profile. So I know I feel bad.

So I'm just not answering. I don't want to hurt his feelings. It's just he's not. Did you not clarify which one he was? Yeah, how did you not know? I just assumed the more attractive person in the photo is the person. How would you assume? No, don't ever assume that.

You always got to play safe, girl. I always assume the other way. How does he assume? No, don't ever assume that. You always got to play safe, girl. I always assume the other way. How does he not verify either? Like, that's confusing. You should have to have at least one solo picture in a dating profile, I feel like. You definitely should. That happens so often. What in the world?

Every single one of the photos was the two of them. And like, why would you post a picture with your hotter friend? What did you think when that happened? What was going through your head? Well, I was like, oh, I do recognize this person. Oh, copy. I've made a mistake.

It was a lovely date. It was a good date. It was a fun date. It's just not for me. And I didn't want to hurt his feelings or make him feel weird or resent his friend or something. So I was just like, I just won't respond anymore. Okay.

Oh, dang. I mean, that's an awkward situation to be in. Yeah. And even more awkward is he's on the phone. Ben's on the phone listening and wants to talk to you. So it gets even more awkward. Yes. Are you serious?

He's on the phone? Yeah. I think it's weirded as I thought. Ben, have you not thought about that before? No, I guess I know. How? How would you not think about that though?

Like every single one of your pictures is both of you guys. I don't know. He's always taking photos so we're doing stuff all the time. My best buddy, I don't know. That's always taking photos, so we're doing stuff all the time. I don't know. Okay. That's what the photos of me are. I don't know.

Well, maybe just one photo with just you in it to like clarify. Yeah, because people might not know who they're going out with. They might show, like this might happen again to you, Ben. Exactly. Yeah, it's too awkward. So yeah, I'm gonna take that advice. But I mean, it's too awkward. Yeah, I was going to take that advice.

But I mean, you said you had a good time and that I was great. So should we like try dinner or something easy again? I know Ben, you were super nice. You were great. You were a good date. I mean, honestly

it's just, come on man don't make me do this. It's just, you're just not you're just not my, like it's just not on man don't make me do this it's just you're just not you're just not my like it's just not it for me not in a mean way it's just you know I already had my whole brain around this other person and I just please don't take it bad I'm not trying to be mean or cruel

well whatever it is why I like you know try to introduce you to my buddy and maybe we can do a double date? You can bring someone. I don't know. Bring someone for you? No, for him.

We try it again. I'll just get a good answer for you, Ben. Haley, would you like to go on another date with Ben? We'll pay for it. If it's a double date and I'm going on a date with his friend and I bring him a date, I would love that. Dang. What do you think, Ben? You get to see Haley again.

You just have to try to date one of her friends. Stop. I have really great friends too, Ben. I promise. This is messy. Do you have any lawyer or judge friends? I get along with judges and lawyers really well. You get along with judges and lawyers.

How does that work? Yeah, I don't think I have any friends like that. Sorry. Okay. Well, I'll take a veterinarian. I like that. Sorry. Okay, well, I'll take a veterinarian. What in the world? Hey, good luck finding a veterinarian for him to go out with. I guess it's sort of a successful first date,

second date, because you guys are going out again, just not with each other. You get to meet the hot guy and hopefully, Ben, you get a veterinarian or a judge or a lawyer to hang out with. Well, that sounds great to me. I can't wait to see you again, Ben. Yeah, well, glad it worked out. It's okay, guys.

It's awkward. Yeah, it is. The Jubal Show on demand. Hey, everyone. It's Katie Couric. Well, the election is in the homestretch right in time
