Taylor is on the phone today for a first date follow-up, and Taylor went on a date with a dude named Joel.

But now Joel is gone. What happened? He's no longer with us. Oh. That sounded way too dramatic. He's ghosted her, and she hasn't heard from him, and she doesn't know why. So we're going to see if we can figure it out for her. Taylor, how are you?

I'm okay. How are you guys? Pretty good. So you said you went out with a dude named Joel, and he's not calling you back. How long has it been since your date? It has been like a month. I mean, I've texted him. I've called him. I mean, I even put into his DMs. Like, nothing. Like, he hasn't gotten back with me. That's a long time. Very long time.

I know. The date was so cute. Like, it was so good. Like, he picked me up, and we went to this, like, bar arcade place. It was so LA. A barcade. A barcade. What a name.

Yeah. I know. So, did you guys just go to that place Or was that it? Yeah Yeah We had dinner We played some games I mean

It was really cool How did the actual date go? Like It went really Like really well Like we were both very interested in Like dolphins and marine life Which is like so cool.

I liked them a lot. Everything went well. Okay, so you guys talked about dolphins, and that's really kind of what you bonded over? Right, and everything was great until I got my hand stuck. Then everything just went wrong from there. Yes, I got my hand stuck. And what? Well, so we were playing one of those machines where you have to use the claw thing to get the stuffed animal.

Oh, yeah, I'm a beast at those. Yeah, I mean, I won, and my hand got stuck in the hole where the stuffed animal falls. Ouch. Like I was trying to reach. Right. Yeah, I tried to reach up in there one time to get one to see if you could reach up and grab one and steal it out.

The difference there, Jubal, she won one. You were trying to steal one. That's true. Yeah. Also, she's an adult, and I was a kid. So anyway. Did they have to call, like, emergency services or something? Yeah.

Like, I don't even know, like, how I got it. But, like, the staff at the arcade had to, like, help me get my hand out. Like, it was 15 minutes. Like, people were, like, gathered around. It was so super embarrassing. Did it ruin the date, though? Or, like, was he able to laugh at what was happening? Well, after my hand was removed from the machine, my wrist was super sore.

I bet. They gave me some ice. And so he offered to walk me to my car because the ice started melting and leaking all over the arcade. So it kind of ended our date. Oh, that sucks. But I mean, he was laughing at me the whole time. And I mean, just funny. Not laughing at me, but just thinking it And I mean, just like funny, you know, like not laughing at me, but, you know, just thinking

it was funny and it was like no big deal. Like he was trying to lighten the mood and make it not like a huge deal. Maybe help you not be embarrassed. Like a nice thing to do. Trying to make it not as horrible. Yeah. He wasn't shaming you. Yeah.

Okay. Right. Like he was trying to help me because I was so mortified. I was embarrassed. But I mean, I would have thought I was funny if it wasn't me, you know what I'm saying? Um, but,

um, he gave me a hug and he said he talked to me later. And so that's how it ended. And nothing. All right. And I'm assuming you like the guy a lot since it's been such a long time and you haven't, you know,

heard from him. Yeah. I really, I think we connected, so I just don't get it. And he hasn't responded at all, not one time through a text or anything? No.

And I just don't know what happened. You almost lost your arm for this man, and he can't even respond. All right, well, we'll see if we can help you out. Play a song, come back, and then call him and get your first day follow up okay Okay Unless he went back to that barcade and he's lost both of his arms

And that's why he can't answer the phone We figured it out That might be it too Well no cause if you're motivated enough He'll learn to do it with his feet He could have told Siri to call for him Yeah exactly we got Siri now too Either dial with your toes or use Siri

Hey Siri call the girl who got her arm stuck in the machine. All right. So we'll figure it out for you, though. We'll play a song, come back, and then call him right after this, okay? Okay. Taylor is on the phone today for a first date follow-up, and Taylor almost lost her arm on her first date with Joel. Sacrifice.

But now Joel isn't calling her back. If you missed the first part of today's first date Follow-Up, Taylor met a dude named Joel. They went out on a date to an arcade bar type place and she was playing the claw game where they have the stuffed animals in it and the claw goes down and then it goes on top of the stuffed animal's head and you get super excited because there's no way that it would let go

and she reached up and she won an animal and she went to go reach up in and grab it because it didn't fall all the way down and her arm got stuck and it was like a big thing and they had to have the staff help her out of it. But the dude that she went on a date with seemed to like, was like trying to lighten the mood. And she said that she had a really fun time still and that didn't ruin anything. But her date did have to end right after that because her arm was hurt. So now she's not getting a call back from him.

It's been over a month and we're going to get him on the phone and see if we can figure out what happened. Okay, Taylor, are you ready? Yeah, I mean, my hand and arm is better now. That's good. Good. I think I'm ready. Here we go. I'm dialing his phone right now.

Hello? Hi, may I speak to Joel, please? Speaking. Hey, Joel. How are you? My name is Jubal. My name is Alex. My name is Uncle Shevan.

Okay. The Jubal Show is a radio show. It's called The Jubal Show. We're calling you because we do a segment on the show called The First Date Follow-Up. That's where if you go out on a date with someone and don't call them back, they can email us to get you on the phone and find out what happened. And one of our listeners emailed us about you, Joel. I'm assuming it's a girl named Taylor. Yes, it is.

It is Taylor. Correct. She wants to know why you're ghosting her. Oh, my gosh. This girl is a hot mess. Hot mess express? Hot mess so hot that she gets her hand locked in a machine? Hand thing? What?

Yeah, she told us about how she had this horrible experience of getting her arm stuck in one of those machines, you know, like the claw machines where you go to get one of the stuffed animals. Is that why you're not talking to her? Hilarious. No, but no, that's not the reason I'm avoiding her. She's just a mess. First of all, she showed up to the date nearly an hour late.

Oh. Hour late, yeah. That's disrespectful. Yeah. I mean, I stuck around, had a few drinks while I waited, and then she just stormed in super late, saying she was late because of L.A. traffic. L.A. traffic? Yeah, L.A. traffic. She just moved here from L.A., so everything she talked about was just L.A., L.A. this, L.A. that.

It's ridiculous. So is it only because she was late? Why else was she a hot mess? Well, everything. She would say, oh, back in L.A., that's L.A., L.A., we do this back in L.A. Like, what are you, like, Los Angeles ambassador? It was really annoying. Influencer?

Yeah, influencer. Yeah, did she just move here or something? Yeah, she just moved from L.A. to here. So that's the only reason that you're not, like, calling her back or anything? Because it's been a month, and she said she tried to contact you pretty much everywhere, except LinkedIn. Like, she tried everything else though why would you not just want to like you know tell her i'm not interested rather than having her keep yeah let her know what's up i mean i would if she would even let me get a word in without you know talking comparing it to la la this like that like so i just didn't want to talk

to her all right well it's too bad you don't want to talk to her because she had her people call your people, which is you. That's pretty LA. She's actually on the other line listening and wants to talk to you. Wait, what? She's on the phone? Yes. What do you mean? I mean, she's on the phone listening and wants to talk to you.

It means you can't run anymore. The whole time? Yes, the whole time. Sorry. So LA. Hi, Joel. Hi. Hey, I'm like so sorry that my hand got stuck in the machine. I wasn't trying to cause a scene at all. I'm just so embarrassed about it.

It's not your hand getting stuck. All you do is talk about you're not even from there and she's obsessed with it. Yeah, I know, right? Those people are so annoying, like me. Okay, and that's the only reason you don't want to go out with her though? You can't get past that?

I think it was super annoying and coming to the date an hour late, are you kidding me? Yeah, an hour late is bad. The traffic! I mean, it was horrible. It was just like LA. Oh my god. It was bad traffic. Yeah, you gotta plan for traffic.

You should know that if you're from LA. People in LA think everything's 20 minutes and then they're late. I know that because I... I don't know if it's an LA thing, but that's just rude to be late. I guess I'll just ask the question. I don't know. This got off the rails, but that's fine. That's what we do sometimes.

Hey, Joel, would you like to go on another date with Taylor? We'll pay for it. No, hard pass. Are you sure? You didn't even give it a thought. Yeah, it's so LA. It is. What if she got her hand stuck again?

Would you go on a second date then? No. Okay. It seems so. Yeah. All right. Well, I'm sorry. I'm not even interested

anyway. Yeah, you've got other options, huh? Yeah, I do have a lot of options. I have a lot of guys asking me out. I just thought we had

a real connection, so I really wanted to explore this, but I have a lot. I may have two dates lined up connection. So I really wanted to explore this. But I have two dates lined up next week alone. All right. Booked and busy. Yeah, you're busy. So that's good for you, Taylor. Don't worry about it

then, Taylor. You're fine. If one of them doesn't work them out, send my way. The Jubal Show on demand. Hey, everyone. It's Katie Couric.
