So in a few minutes, we'll call her and see if she'll tell us why she's ghosting him and maybe get him a second date. But first, Craig, how long has it been since you heard from Serena? Yeah, it's been about five days.

Okay. Not too bad. How many times did you hit her up? Just a couple, you know? Like, I'd send her a text and then I kind of followed up. My usual is like an upside down smiley face emoji. I tried calling her, but yeah, nothing. Okay.

Uh-oh. Well, why don't you tell us about the date? Yeah, so it was great. We went to this, like, super chill indie bookstore cafe kind of thing. Yeah, it was really nice. I had, like, live music in the back. They had candles on the table. It was super low-key, just, like, really perfect for what we were trying to, you know, what the day was trying to be, what I was trying to make it.

Romantic. Yeah, it was very romantic. Yeah, nobody was yelling. in this place so that was nice um yeah and then you know what we talked about you know we talked about like everything most underrated cartoons uh weird family traditions she uh actually told me that she celebrates her childhood stuffed animals birthday every year which i thought was super interesting and uh yeah i admitted to her uh that i once cried during a dog food commercial.

So, yeah, it was a solid, really solid day. Definitely felt a vibe with her. But yeah, you know, like I said, I really felt a vibe with her. I felt like I really felt like we got each other. I walked her to her car at the end of the night. And she, you know, she even said she wanted to see me again. Oh, she did? Did you guys kiss or have any kind of intimate moments?

No, nothing to, nothing like that. you know, I kept it professional, but yeah, like, it felt like a good exit. Okay. Why do you think she might be ghosting you? Um, I don't know. I might have made like a dumb joke at the end of the night and, you know, I offered her a mint and said something like, I hope you're not doing anything for the next 48 hours and then pretended the mint was like laced with something.

Oh, gosh. That's a terrible drug. Yeah, I maybe wouldn't joke about that. You know, on a first date, that's a really bad joke. Yeah. She presented you drunk to her. Yeah. Well, that might be in.

How did she react to that, Craig? Yeah, she kind of froze. Not going to lie. She kind of froze. You know, she dropped it and also kind of like gave me this like half laugh before saying thanks for the date and getting in her car so were you able to like apologize for the joke and be like hey that was a joke it was a bad bad joke but still joke yeah i definitely apologize i texted her the next morning and you know

i was like you know i'm sorry i had a great time um but yeah no reply and um she's just joining us for today's first a follow-up craig is on the phone and he's getting ghosted by serena 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. But first, Craig, why don't you recap your date for us again real quick? Yeah, so it was a great date. We went to a really romantic place. We had great conversation, but at the end of the date, I made a stupid joke about drugging her with a mint that I totally regret making. And now I am getting basically ghosted she is not calling me back so or testing me back so all right are you ready for us to give her a call yep I'm ready I'm ready for whatever happens okay here we go

hello hi may I speak to serena please Hey, Serena, how are you? This is a radio show. It's called The Jubal Show. Hi, Serena. I'm Nina. Hi, I'm Victoria. And my name's Jubal.

What's going on? I don't know. What is going on? Not much. That's fair question. Have you ever listened to the show before? No. No?

Okay. Well, we do a segment on the show that's called the first date follow-up. That's where if you go on a date with somebody and you end up ghosting them, that person can email us to get you on the phone and ask why you're ghosting. and we got an email about you. Are you ghosting somebody? I did go out with a guy named Craig recently. Okay.

Is that who wrote to you? Yes, it is Craig. He emailed us, we talked to him a little bit about your date. He really liked you and he's wondering why you're ghosting him. So we thought we'd call and ask if you wouldn't mind telling us. Okay, sure. Well, the date was lovely, but what I was, I saw at the end of the date kind of like freaked me out and um you say what you saw well

i okay i it was a good time honestly i wasn't expecting to like him as much as i did like we clicked we had a really nice time like he he's quirky but he's charming and then near the end of the night we're standing by my car and he wants to show me a picture of him with elephants in Thailand. Okay. And so he handed me his phone and says you know, here's me with the elephants. And I swiped to see more pictures and I

swiped too far. Oh no. That's when I saw just like endless bathroom selfies. Oh, okay. Kept sprawling. Oh. He's shirtless in different bathrooms doing like

look how hot I am. poses and some had towel action and some did not have towel action which you know like I did not mean to do that um but you kept swiping what are you doing with this many photos and and who are you sending them to like nobody should have that many naked photos on themselves on their phone yeah oh it was a lot okay and that's the reason you're ghosting him yeah okay all right well thank you for telling us I wonder why he has so many. Do you wonder that too, Serena, I'm sure. Yeah, like I said, it was just a lot.

Tell, no tell. I just like, who was he sending those to? Like, why do you need so many? We should ask him. Oh, gosh. And Serena, he's actually on the phone right now and wants to talk to you. So we should just ask. I can just jump in.

So that's why you ghosted me. You're ghosting me because of selfies. Yeah, cool. So you're on this call, too. Right. Yeah. So you're saying, you know, like what you saw? Like, is that, is that why you're ghosting? You're just, like, not attracted to me naked? That's not nothing to do with it. I mean, that's your takeaway. Like, that was a lot of photos, man. Like, who are you sending those two? That's weird.

Sometimes I just need to remind myself that I'm hot now. Like, I was overweight growing up and now I look good. So I like to see it. Like, whenever I see an angle I take, like, I like it. I mean, I, I like taking photos of myself. Do you send those to people? I mean, I'll send them sometimes if it's, like, appropriate. So it's just to admire yourself? Yeah, it's just for me.

And then, like, just in case I need one ready to send to somebody like you. I okay you can save your photos for your like scrolling I'm not interested in them or in seeing anyone who like admires himself that much that was just a lot for me what like you don't want to date somebody with confidence I'm confident like that's that's just me being confident that's great I'm glad you feel good about yourself now but that doesn't change the thought that you'll take longer than me in the bathroom because you're trying to get the right angle of your little friend. It's not little.

Hey, Serena, would you like another date with Craig? We'll pay for it. Thank you, but I'm good. At least he's owning it. You know what I mean? He's not like trying to play it off. Like if you didn't see those, Serino, would you want to go on a date with him? Probably, but like I know what I know now.

I mean, Serena, like, I really hope that you change your mind. Like, I really like you. I really had a great time on our date. I'm sorry for the dumb jokes that I made. I'm sorry that I take so many selfies of myself. But, like, I really, really like you. As much as I like me. I really like you.

Well, I will take that as a compliment because obviously I know how much you like you like you. But I think this, like in the radio and the selfies. I just, this is a little too much for me. So I think this is, this is over now. Hey, guys, can I, can I just email you a picture, a couple, like a few pictures so you can tell me if they're good or not? Yes. Okay. Absolutely.

Yes. Go ahead. See, they want to see them. That's fine. I'm Stefan Curry, and this is Gentleman's Cut.
