First Date Follow Up - The Jubal Show - Tasha & Jordan: She Thought It Was a Movie-Perfect Date… Then He Vanished for One Unexpected Reason

Episode Date: December 18, 2025

As part of our 12 First Date Follow Ups of Christmas, Tasha can’t understand why a date that felt straight out of a rom-com suddenly turned into radio silence. Bookstore vibes, coffee, park people-watching, chemistry, and even a sweet goodbye — everything seemed right. So why did Jordan disappear? In this First Date Follow Up, the answer takes a surprising turn that no one sees coming and sparks a hilarious, jaw-dropping conversation about first impressions, deal-breakers, and staying true to who you are. Listen as we get Jordan on the phone, uncover the real reason behind the ghosting, and see whether this connection can be saved — or if it’s better left in the past. Ever been ghosted after what you thought was an amazing date? Do you REALLY want that Second Date? The Jubal Show has your back! On First Date Follow Up, we track down the person who disappeared to get the real reason why. Awkward, hilarious, and sometimes downright shocking—First Date Follow Up delivers the truth, whether you want to hear it or not. Will there be a second date or just secondhand embarrassment?

okay okay a good amount of time yeah so have you been trying to get a hold of him how have you felt during that time oh man I'm even so nervous like I actually did reach out to him two days ago and he didn't respond okay well let's talk about your date like what could have gone wrong was it? I thought it was great, you know? Like, it was a classic get to know you thing, coffee in a bookstore and, you know, we just like kept hanging out and we watched some people watching, you know, like by the park and he's really funny, low key, you know. She's a low key. Okay. Yeah, and we had this moment where he brushed my hair back while we were sitting on the bench and well, things got a little romantic after that. I mean,

And it just made me think he liked me. And he was real. Like, none of the, like, performative stuff you get on the apps and, like, I felt so seen. I don't know. He even remembered the book. I said I loved in high school. Oh, that's cool. That is cool.

So you felt like he was vibing you, too? Yeah. And his voice is so dreamy. I don't know. I'm just, like, so into him. And I don't get it. I thought he was into me, too. Okay.

Well, why do you think he's ghosting you? I can't really think of anything. I just feel like maybe he found me too talkative or he didn't like my jokes, you know. Like, I mean, I made this like one political joke, but like it wasn't even a joke that I made up, you know. I just like Googled jokes to talk about on dates and. And that political one kind of. So you went political. Like, I'm not even a political person.

Like, I don't care about politics, you know. But maybe he found what I said offensive. Yeah. I mean, usually they say talking about politics on a first date isn't. bad thing even if it's a little joke but you google jokes before you go on dates that's what they gave you if you go prepared you don't no maybe i should i mean i've never done it before but i think that's kind of cool actually i'm about to start so you go to dates with like a list of pre-approved or pre-google jokes to use yeah that's cool i think that like actually if i were to go on a day with you

i think that was dope if you if you told me that you google that things i'd be like that's awesome that's effort right yeah yeah i mean i didn't tell him I mean, you don't tell the person you're on a date with that you Google jokes or something. That's like months into the relationship, then you tell them. Right. When they're like, she had all these jokes, but now she doesn't. You're like, yeah, it's because I've been Googling them. But, yeah, how was his mood after the political joke then?

Did it change after that? No, I mean, he laughed, you know, but I don't know if it was like an awkward laugh. Did you guys change the subject after that? Yeah, I mean, honestly, the conversations, just kept flowing naturally like and then we just like made people made fun of people walking by and and I don't know I just I I didn't really think anything bad happened so that's why I'm just very confused you know he gave me a little kiss on the cheek and and that was good well so how did it how did you guys leave it did you plan on seeing each other again or was it just like oh this was fun

thanks yeah yeah I mean I was like okay well I'll see you you know soon hopefully and then that's kind of like how we ended it and then like you know these days go by and I'm just like replaying the date in my head over and over again and I'm like wait what did I do like I don't get it I thought we were good I wasn't being weird or anything when I texted him two days ago like I just you know sent him a playful text and you know he didn't respond so it's like what's up? Tasha is on the phone and she's getting ghosted by a dude named Jordan so we're going to call him in just a second and see if he'll tell us why he's ghosting her and maybe get her another date you still want one right tasha oh yeah and maybe get her another

date if she wants one which she said she does and but first tasha let's get a recap of your date real quick before we call him oh yeah it was such a beautiful date you know we went to a bookstore and a coffee shop and then we like sat at the park and people watched and it was it was literally like a movie like a romantic comedy movie and I was the star and he was a hero The only reason you can think of that he might be ghosting you is because you made a political joke on your date. Yeah, but I don't care about politics. All right.

Well, are you ready for us to call him? Yeah. Okay, here we go. Okay, here we go. Yeah, hello? Hi, may I speak to Jordan, please? This is him, who's this? Hey, Jordan, how are you?

My name is Jubal, and I'm calling from a radio show. It's called The Jubal Show. Hi, I'm Nina also on the show. Hi, and I'm Victoria. Wait, is this a prank? No, it's not. We're calling you today for a different reason, though. It's not a prank.

Okay. So we do a segment on our show. 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 ask us to get you on the phone and ask why you're ghosting them. So we got an email about you. from someone that you've been out with but aren't calling back. Oh, wait, Tasha?

Yes, it is Tasha. Yeah, she emailed us. Yeah. And she told us about your day. She said she really liked you, but she's confused because it's been nine days and you haven't responded to her. I mean, she was great.

The date was actually a lot of fun, and she made me laugh. She's actually really funny. Do you mind telling us why you're not talking to her, though? It's the glitter. What? She had a lot of glitter on her face, like a lot of it, you know? And I don't know.

By the time we were done, it was all over me, and it was all over my clothes and my car, and I could never get it off. And I know, I know it sounds crazy, but I'm serious. It's just I kept finding glitter on myself for days. It was like I was dating a disco ball. So what was it like her eye shadow? I don't know. She's wearing her hair, I guess, her face.

I think it was on her hands. It had it been on her hands. I don't know. everywhere. She had that much glitter on? I mean, I guess. It was like I wore it all day. Kind of a clean freak.

Okay. Wait, you ghosted me because of glitter? Hey, Jordan. That's Tasha. She's actually on the phone listening and wants to talk to you. Oh, my. This is embarrassing. Hi, Tasha.

Look, it's nothing personal. I swear I really did have a great date and you were very pretty and hilarious. but I have a thing about messes and it just dressed me out and I can't have glitter all over me like I took a bath in it. It's called Sparkle, Jordan, and some of us like to shine.

Oh, okay. Okay, fine, but I don't like the Sparkle. And I kind of think that's like a little cute thing to do. Wow. No, okay. Sparkle life, you know? And I'm a Sparkly girl and I don't think there's anything wrong.

with him. And I mean, you've been to strip clubs before, so I'm sure you've had your, you know, load of fuck. I knew what I was turning up for. And plus, actually, I don't really go to strip clubs like that because of this reason. I just don't know what sparkles. I don't mean it is what it is. I mean, what's so bad about it? Like, it just makes your life a little bit more shiny. I mean, I'll help you clean it off. It's impossible to clean up. I'm sorry. The date was great, but I just, it was like, it was ending up in my food

because it was all over my hands and my hair and, oh, my God. If there was less, Jordan, would you be down with that? Jordan, would you like another date with Tasha will pay for it if Tasha was willing to cut back on the glitter a little bit? If there's no glitter involved, yeah, I mean, yeah, it was a good day. Yeah, I'm not sure about it. that because I am a sparkly girl and I don't know if I even want to live

a light without glitter. Wow. Okay. Stand on yours, girl. Okay. Well, I mean, maybe we pick like somewhere less glitter friendly, like a pool. I feel like that would be worse, Jordan. Honestly, you're swimming in it then. I mean, I already

was. Just embrace it. I mean, I'm not even sure anymore, Jordan, because I thought we had something special and I can't believe you've ghosted me because I sparkle and I don't even know. I don't even think I want another date with you. I don't want you dimming my light, okay? Okay, so is that a no then, Tasha?

You don't want another date with Jordan? No, I will pass. Okay, well, at least you know now why he's ghosting you and that he's probably not a good fit for you. Yeah, I'm very disappointed about this, Jordan. Hey, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm sure there's a lot of guys. who would love to have your sparkle all over them. Yeah, there is, and his name is Nate,

and I'm going on a day with him actually tonight, so whatever. Okay. Jubil's first date follow-up. I'm Stefan Curry, and this is Gentleman's Cut.
