Rachel is on the phone today for our first-day follow-up and she's getting ghosted by a dude named Zane, so in a few minutes we'll call him and see if he'll tell us why he's ghosting her and maybe get her a second date if she still wants one. But first, Rachel, how long has it been since you heard from Zane? It's been five days since I heard from Zane.

Okay, because we're not counting or anything, right? No, we're definitely not counting or anything now. Have you tried to reach out to him? I have. And, like, you know, I heard from him, like, right after our date, like, that night, and, like, everything seemed chill. and then I heard nothing after that. All right.

Tell us about the date. Yeah. So we like met at this venue in, and it was this total dive bar like vibes. It was very punk energy. Like we had messaged on and off about the band that we both happened to like have tickets to this underground indie group thing. Like so it was just perfect. It was like, you know, a thing that we're both into, you know?

And like it was like, it was like. a blast. We were in the front row. We were like both super sweaty and dancing and screaming the lyrics. Like he actually knew all the lyrics. Like, so he wasn't a poser. You know what I mean? And it just felt like we were teens again. Like, you know, he pulled me close during this one like slow build song. And like we made out hard in the front row. No shame like teenagers. Like it was so good. I love that. Yeah. Like, you know, like it got a little handy, but like I'm not going to lie. Like it felt like natural. like in the moment. It wasn't anything like sleazy.

So he wasn't like, there were no bad vibes or like red flags like the night of the day, you know? Mm-hmm. Well, why do you think he's ghosting you? I don't know. Like, so like maybe like when we were outside, like it was freezing. So I asked him for his jacket and like jokingly I said like, oh, a real gentleman would have offered it to me by now.

And like we both laughed and like then he gave his jacket to me. and like kissed me on the cheek. And like it was kind of like a siffer kiss than like, I mean a full on makeout like we did in the front row. But like, I don't know. He said like, oh, you didn't give me a chance to be a gentleman before you just took it. And like laughed and walked away. So it seemed very like, oh, like I don't know.

It was flirty. But like if I have his jacket, like I have it. Yeah. Don't go see if you want your clothes back. Rachel is on the phone and she's getting. ghosted by a guy named Zane. So in a second, we're going to call him and see if he'll tell us why he's ghosting her and maybe get her a second date if she still wants one.

But before we do that, Rachel, why don't you break down your situation with Zane real quick? First date, went and saw some live music, made out in the front row, like we're teenagers, had a great time. Maybe I upset him because I said, hey, a gentleman would have offered his jacket by this point when we went outside and it was cold. maybe you took it the wrong way. I still have his jacket. I haven't heard from him in five days,

but he is responding to comments on his post from the concert. So, yeah, I don't know. You ready for us to call him? I am. Okay, here we go. Okay. Hello. Hi, may I speak to Zane, please?

Yeah, this is who's calling? Hey, Zane, how are you? This is a radio show. It's called The Jubel show. Hi, Zane. I'm Nina. Hi, I'm Victoria. And my name is Jubel. What's going on?

Oh, yeah, I know you guys. Yeah, what's up? Oh, cool. Thank you, man. Appreciate it. Well, we're calling you today because somebody wanted us to call you. Okay. So I don't know how much you listen to the show, but we do a segment called the first date follow-up.

That's where if you go out on a date with somebody and then you ghost them, that person can email us to get you on the phone and ask why you're ghosting them. Oh, yeah. Yeah. This is about Rachel, isn't it? Yes, it is about Rachel. Do you have a second to tell us why you're ghosting her, man? Yeah, okay. Like, I mean, she's super cool, like, fun, but there's, I don't know, it's just, like, it's just like this thing, man.

She's got this, um, she's got this nose ring, and it's like this, it's like this giant poop, right? got this dangly little charm that's just kind of like hanging out of her nose and like I kept like moving when she was talking and like I didn't really notice it at first like when we were because we were in a venue right he's like super dark yeah like once we got outside and like I couldn't take my eyes off it was just like immediate oh no so like you kissed her and stuff though right yeah no for sure I mean like you know we were on the heat of the moment in the show and I was, you know, kind of dark at that. You know, it felt really good at the moment.

But, like, once we got outside and, like, the streetlights and stuff, like, it's just, like, I mean, this thing is not just, like, a nose ring. It's like a wind chime, like, our face. I could not stop looking at it. Like, I had, like, a nightmare about it that night. It was bad. Oh, no. And that's the reason?

Just that? I mean, yeah, I just, like, I just, like, could not stop looking at it. Like the whole time she was talking to me, I was just like, this is just, I just could not do it. It was not. What if she took it out?

Can you just not unsee it? I mean, I don't know. I mean, it feels like, I don't know, man, she seems like kind of like part of her whole, like, look and aesthetic and like, I don't know, I just, I was not feeling it. All right, well, thank you for telling us.

Appreciate that. I wouldn't know how big this nose ring is. Hey, Rachel, how big is your nose ring? A windshine for your face. Really? Zane, that's Rachel. She's been listening and wants to talk to you. Okay.

Did not realize you were on there too. Okay. Oh, yeah. I was like aesthetic takedown. So you're ghosting me because of my style with my like average size nose ring. My nose jangle. Yeah, look, okay, like, I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything. It's just not for me, all right, you know?

It's just not a mess. I'm not gonna do it. You made out with me like you were gonna propose and then you disappeared because my jewelry wasn't minimal enough for your sensitive indie eyes. Oh, man. Come on, like, that's kind of funny, but like, it's not personal, right? I just, like, I couldn't unsee it. Like, it, the thing just, just, like, I couldn't unsee it.

The thing just felt like it had like its own, like, personality. Like, I was, like, on a date. Oh, his name is Gerald. He swings my laugh and you two would have been great friends. Oh, you named it. Okay. Okay, that's kind of funny, actually. Okay, but, like, you're such a pose or, like, you're acting like you're into punk shows,

but you can't handle a nose ring? Well, look, come on. I'm obviously, clearly, I'm into punk shows, all right? Like, I mean, I just don't want to date the merch table, you know? And I don't want to date a suit who fakes his way through life. What are you talking about? I'm going to make any sense. Listen, I'm going to keep your jacket, Zane.

You don't deserve it. It's too cool for you. You know what? You can keep the jacket because I don't really ever want to see. that thing again, honestly. Zane, would you like another date with Rachel? We'll pay for it. No, no, that's going to be a hard pass from you guys.

Ooh, cool. You know, Gerald feels the same way, and he doesn't want to see you again, so yeah, I'm with Gerald. We don't want to see you again. We don't need this date. Cool, I got it. You named your nose ring, Gerald. I'm not going to let you guys have a happy

life together. And you know what? You can keep the jacket, you know? I don't ever need to wear that thing again. Oh yeah, I'm sure you have a ton more in your closet because you're such a fake poser and you just have them there to like try and be cool and recapture your use, bro. Got it.
