and he's getting ghosted by Christine. 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, Ryan, how long has it been since you? you heard from Christine. It's been, it's been a few minutes. I'm not going to lie. I'm getting a little, I'm excited that we can reconnect,

but I'm a little bit concerned why she hasn't gotten back to me. Okay, that's fair. But when you say, like, it's been a few minutes, like a week? Like I would say within a week, yeah. Let's talk about the date and see if we can figure out why. Well, this is the confusing part. Okay, so, like, we went to this Italian food festival. Okay.

in this park and it was like so awesome because there was like boots everywhere like mozzarella fresh mozzarella canola everything is you want right yeah and we both geeked out clearly she's into food like i am and we were just i mean we ended up in this little sort of tiny family done sort of one like deli okay and it's so good like insane italian combo sandwich like life-swinged salad okay wow nice really and and And so after stuffing our faces, we got up this old dive bar. And it was just like old jukebox, sticky floors, darts that never go straight. And somehow she just destroyed me at dart.

And totally just wiped the floor with me, not even competitive. But it was fun, you know? Yeah. And, yeah. And then she stayed over. Oh, okay. So that sounds like the date went well. Oh, phenomenal.

I mean, laughing, talking, vibing. Like, I'm not going to lie. Did we hook up? Yes. And everything went away. Everything was just great. So then what went wrong? Well, here's the thing.

Okay, so I think she stole my punch card. Excuse me? Punch card? Yeah. Okay. So because we're both into food and stuff like that, I shown her my deli punch card from these. Okay, it's like a restaurant.

It's like 20 sandwiches get you a free sandwich every week for six months. if you finish in under three months. And look, it's a stupid flex, but she was impressed. She was, like, checking it out the whole time, you know? Like, I mean, she was hanging out, so it's funny. Like, it was kind of like a running joke. But then the next morning, the card's just gone. Okay?

It just vanished. And she left before I woke up. And honestly, I think she took it, like, pocketed it. And I know she goes to me because she doesn't want to face that. And, like, who stills a punch card? It's not even money. It's sandwiches. It's weird.

You did use it to impress her, though. So, like, clearly you guys both appreciate the sandwich punch. Yeah. Could you have just dropped it, though? Are you sure she stole it? It was, I am telling you, I know where it is. She had it last. It's gone.

I've checked everywhere. Okay. And I worked hard for that, you know, so. So do you want another date or you just want your punch card back? Both. I'll take her for it. I don't know. But wait, if she actually did steal your punch card and agrees,

going a day with you anyway. Are you cool with that? Yeah, I would want to talk about it and see what's going on. And maybe like, maybe it was an accident. Look, I'm willing to give your friends to the doubt here. I could just totally be, oops, I space. Well, we'll see why she's ghosting you. And

if she did take your punch card, why don't you recap your date again real quick? Yeah, so Tristan and I went out and we hit like this super cool food festival, ate a bunch of food, had a great time. And then we ended up going back to my place hooking up but when she left in the morning I noticed that

my punch card for this great restaurant is like gone and I think that she took it okay so we're going to fight well so our mission here is to find out why you're getting ghosted maybe get you a second date and also get your punch card back yes okay here we go are you ready yeah okay okay hi man I speak to Christine please um um is is she? Hey, Christine, how are you? This is a radio show. It's called The Jubal Show. Hi, Christine. I'm Nina. Hi, I'm Victoria. And my name is Jubal. How are you? I'm good. How are you? Great. Thanks for asking. Have you ever listened to the show before? Um, no. Oh, cool. Okay. So, um, a little bit about us. We do a segment called, it's called the first date follow up. That's where if you go out on a date

with somebody and then you end up ghosting them, that person can email us to get you on the phone and about why you're ghosting them do you have a few minutes to talk to us because we got an email about you from somebody oh god um I guess so I'm interested now are you ghosting somebody um I guess there's somebody that comes to mine that I haven't responded okay so is this like an intentional ghosting or you just like eh I'll go back to him later I don't know I just I guess I just didn't know what to say and then you know like time got away for me kind of. Yeah.

Okay. Well, who are you talking about? Let's make sure it's the same person. His name is Ryan. Yes, Christine. That's who emailed us. Ryan emailed us. He told us about your date.

He said it was awesome and he really liked you. But he's wondering why you're not getting back to him. Can you tell us? It was sort of embarrassing and I don't usually kiss and tell. But I guess it was just a good. And then he was kind of like, I don't even know how to say this nicely. He was mid. Oh.

Mid. Mid. Are you kidding me? Oh, no. Hey, Christine, that's Ryan. He's on the phone and wants to talk to you. Okay. I wasn't expecting much.

Hi. Oh, no. Yeah, this is awkward. But, yeah, I mean, I would say mid. And you're not, you're really, okay, I'm sorry. You're not awful. It's just like there was a lot of talking and you were like giving me play by plays.

Like it was like a show or something. And at one point you, it was just a lot of verbal. And one point you whispered time to stack the layers like that right in my ear. Time to stack the layers. Oh my God. What does that be? Listen, I was being playful. I was being playful in original.

I was being playful. Christine, back to layers is like romantic. It's a metaphor for depth and flavor. I mean, come on. I mean, okay, I thought you had potential. It was like your sweet. The date was really fun. And I was open, you know, I was open at that point to seeing where things could go.

But I don't know if it's going to work out, to be honest. Yeah. Right. I know what this is. I know what it is, Christine. You know, it didn't work out because you're a liar. And you stole my punch card. Okay.

And I'm not going to let you ruin my bedroom rabbit talk about this potential. bullshit. Listen, you were the last one to see my punch card and now it's gone. That just own it. Oh my God. I did not take your stupid punch card. Like, why would I risk my integrity for a sandwich punch card? It's not the holy grail. It's just... Because you admired it. Then why were you handling it all night? You asked questions about it. You held it. Then it was gone. Where else would it go? Yeah. I admired it like a museum piece. Not like I was planning a hike. I was. I mean, have you looked between your couch cushions?

Yeah, I looked at me. Yeah, right. It's not like you looked, Ryan. I find your self-awareness in there, too, because it seems to be missing as well. Oh, that's really, really good. That's really good. As good as a sandwich, you're probably going to steal once you take that punch card and cash it in. I already know the deal, man.

I don't have your punch card. It's probably in your house somewhere. Your house is kind of a mess. You have one towel. Oh, God. Yeah, your morals are a mess. If you're stealing on a date and you think that's okay, it's not okay. And I'm telling you, I wish I had a, I wish I had a camera.

I should have set up a camera. You'd be so red-handed right now. You can know what stacking layers was if you had a camera. Christine, I might know the answer to this. I'm going to ask, though. Would you like a second date with Ryan? We will pay for it. No.

I'm not doing a sandwich. It's bad and bad. To be fair, first times are always awkward. Say whatever you want, thief. We both know you like my sandwich card. And we know you're going to just, I hope that's... You're going to get off the phone and find it. It's going to be like under your stack of mail.

You're going to be so embarrassed. Oh, yeah. I'm really embarrassed. Trust me. I looked everywhere. I know my sandwich card. Okay. Bye-bye.
