First Date Follow-Up.

The guy on the phone for our First Date Follow-Up today, his name's Gabriel. Oh, like the angel. Yeah, or like Iglesias, the comedian. Alex, do you know any other Gabriels? No. Well, guess what? This is exciting. Hopefully we can get this guy another date, and maybe.

And Alex just met her first Gabriel. What's up, Gabriel? How are you? I'm good. How's everybody doing? Good. Not too bad. You're not going to get a call back from a girl

that you went out on a date with. What's her name? Oh, God, we're getting back to the name thing. Her name is Savannah. And tell us a little bit about Savannah. Well, we originally met on Tinder, and we hit it off on Tinder. So we went to, I suggested to her, and she agreed, you know, from the conversations that we had that we meet at a farmer's market. That's not a bad idea.

Yeah. Farmer's market. Outside, you can social distance. Yeah. Yeah, we could be outside. We didn't have to be bunched up next to each other. Yeah. And all sorts of arts and crafts.

Yeah. Definitely some CBD stuff out there. But it was good, though. You enjoyed the farmer's market. More importantly, did it seem like she enjoyed the farmer's market? It seemed like she did enjoy the farmer's market. I enjoyed it. We walked around the farmer's market.

We talked. Did you buy her flowers? I didn't buy her flowers. That might be why you're not getting a call back. How do you go to a farmer's market on a date and not buy flowers? What are you doing? You've got a billion of them around you. I bought her a bunch of them around you. I thought it was, I'm sort of a, I thought I

bought her, I bought her a bunch of bananas. What? Instead of flowers, you bought bananas? I thought it would be cute instead of flowers. I got her, I got her a bunch of bananas. She's not a gorilla. Apparently she needed some potassium. Yeah, at least she got her something, but I would go with flowers next time over bananas. I mean, yeah. Every guy, you know, every time a guy goes out with a girl, he gets her flowers. I mean, how many guys give a girl bananas? You.

Just you. I think. Just you. All right. Well, at least it's thinking outside of the box. I know you guys are joking with me, but yeah, she really, I gave her the bananas and she laughed

and she really enjoyed the joke about getting the bananas. Okay. And, you know, she didn't bring up flowers or anything like that. We walked around. We had a great conversation. I have a sense of humor.

She had a great sense of humor. Everyone who isn't funny says, I have a sense of humor. That's how it works. Why do you think she's not calling you back then? I mean, I have, I have really no idea. I thought the date went great. At the end of it, I went in for a hug. I got the hug and I went for the kiss. I felt the tension, no kiss. I can understand that. So I backed off. Oh, you, okay. No kiss. All right. So you,

did you ask her or did you just go in? She said no. Or did you just go in and her eyes said no. And you backed up that one. Yeah. I went in and it was like her whole body tensed up and it was just like, uh, and I'm like, okay. So I backed off and then we talked on the phone for about an hour later that night. Oh, wow. Okay. And then is that the last time you heard from her? That's the last time I heard from her. Huh. If there's one thing, we were on the phone and I made this joke about the farmer's market. All right. And I told her, I said, I really had a good time with you today, but that farmer's market

sucked, right? Okay. I don't know where you're going with this. Yeah, yeah, that's what she said. And then I said, yeah, I didn't see any farmers anywhere. What? Okay. Oh, no.

It's not actually a market for farmers. Like, that's what they call, like, the farmer's market. Yeah, yeah, I know, that's the joke. No farmers at the farmer's market. Yeah, yeah, I know. That's the joke. No farmers at the farmer's market. Right. Okay. So did you have to explain it to her the same way? Well, she didn't say anything.

And I'm like, well, maybe all the farmers are outstanding in their field. Oh. So you just kept going with the joke. And I kept going with it, and she didn't get the second part either. So, yeah, I, you know, I explained the joke and I kept going with it and she didn't get the second part either so yeah I I you know I explained the joke to her and she said she said yeah yeah I got it well and then it was she you know she didn't laugh or anything like that and I told her I'm like you know I'm sorry sometimes I'm awkward with jokes I like puns and jokes. And then the rest of the conversation was fine. Okay. And then I've not heard from her since.

All right. So you think it might've been the farmer's market joke that did you in? If it's anything, it's the farmer's market joke. All right. So we'll play a song, come back, call her and see if we can figure out why she's not getting back to you. Okay. Yes.

Thank you. Yep. All right. Hang on. It's a jibble show. It has been way too long. Way too long. Since I have heard a good farmer's market joke.

But thankfully, because of today's first date follow-up, I don't have to wait anymore. Oh, good. Because on the phone is Gabriel. And Gabriel went out on a date with a girl named Savannah. She's not calling him back now, and he can't figure out why. They went to the farmer's market and he said that they had a great time. They walked around, sampled all the

stuff. He even bought her bananas instead of flowers because he thought that would be funny and apparently didn't turn her off. He got a hug at the end of the night and they even talked for like an... Gabriel, I didn't ask you. How long did you guys talk after your date? You said you spoke that evening as well.

We talked for about an hour on the phone. Okay. And the only reason that you can think that she's not calling you back is because you made an awkward farmer's market joke about the farmer's market not having any actual farmers for purchase. And she didn't really get the joke and you had to over explain it. Yes. We're going to see if that's actually the reason.

I'm going to call her right now and see if we can figure it out. Are you ready? Yes. Okay, here we go. Hello? Knock, knock. Hello?

Knock, knock. If this is a Like robot caller I'm gonna block your number No I'm sorry Please don't Don't block I was trying to be stupid And make a knock knock joke

Hi this is Jubal From the Jubal show Oh okay Hi Did I win something I Well you might have You might have actually won something

You might have won a date Oh lucky you. Oh, okay. I'll get to the point. It's a radio show and we do a segment called the First Date Follow-Up. It's where if you go out on a date with someone and then end up not calling them back after, they can email us to call you and figure out why. So you recently went out on a date with someone.

Do you know who it could be? Oh, well, it could be two people okay well it could be jesse a girl or it could be gabe a guy oh oh so you went hello okay all right hey that's cool um well let me tell you this it's not a girl can you guess which one so it's gabe oh bingo yeah g Gabe emailed us and told us about your date. He said that he really liked you, but he also is confused why you're not calling him back. Do you mind talking to us about that for a second? Sure.

I have some time. We could talk about it, I guess. Okay. What did he tell you? Well, he said that you went to a farmer's market and had a nice afternoon at the farmer's market. He got you some bananas. He got you some bananas. He said that you liked.

And other than that, not much. He said the reason he's really confused is because you guys spoke on the phone later that day for quite a while, I guess. And he thought everything was great, but now he can't figure out why you're not calling him back. The only thing that he can think of is, I guess he made a really weird, hard to like a bad farmer's market joke on the phone. And he thought maybe that like turned you off. Oh yeah. I, I remember the farmer's market joke. That was awkward, but that, that wasn't like a deal breaker for me. I think I got a peek into kind of his weirdness. A peek into his weirdness?

Yeah. God. What does that mean? Yeah. Well, I feel so bad like blowing up his spot like this but he kind of left the phone on when we were done talking oh no i don't think he realized uh-huh did you hear something he said yeah i wasn't really like i couldn't actually make out what he was saying but he was doing a really weird like cartoon puppety voice to himself it sounded like. What?

Like talking to himself in a really, really, like if you heard it, you would be like turned off. And you're sure it wasn't like anybody in the background or TV or something? TV, yeah. No, I'm sure it was just him

because he like referenced himself. He was talking to himself like, I don't know, Gabriel. It's weird. I don't know. Oh, God. It was weird. I don't know. It was a weird. Okay.

Yeah. It was very uncomfortable to hear that. Like I just, I was picturing him alone at his place, like talking to himself in that weird voice. And I just couldn't get that out of my head. That's a bit creepy. Yeah, it is. Hey, hey, hey, I can explain. I can explain. Okay.

Oh, my God. What? Yeah, that was Gabriel. I guess he can explain. So do you want to hear an explanation from him? Okay, but that was really weird what I heard. I understand how that can be weird if you don't know me. But what you heard was Mr. Boykin.

It was what? Mr. Boykin. It's just something I do when I'm alone. I talk to myself in these character voices that I made up. I would never have done it to her on the phone. I would never have said that to her. I thought I was alone. I thought I hung up the phone. I would never have said that to her. I thought I was alone. I thought I hung up the phone.

I was happy with the phone call. And Savannah, I just want to apologize. You were not meant to hear that. I'm not weird. That was just Mr. Boykin. Oh. I really wish you so much good. Dave, I just, I can't.

I'm sorry. Well, we haven't even asked you if you want to go out with him again. Are you sure you can? I mean, I mean, I talk to myself sometimes in weird voices. Maybe I shouldn't say that right now, but I do. I mean, you didn't hear it. And like, I don't think I could unhear it. Savannah, I just want to let you know that I'm not weird.

It's just a thing that I do. It's a thing that I do just to amuse myself. I really liked you. I thought we hit it off at the farmer's market. I want to see you again, and I promise you I am not a weirdo. Look, it's just not the chemistry isn't there for me okay? And it's me, Mr.

Boykin. I'm not a weirdo either. Oh my God. Hey Savannah, would you like to go out with Gabriel and Mr. Boykin? Come on Savannah, let's go out again. Oh my God, stop it. It's me, Mr. Boykinin. Come on, Savannah. Let's go out again. Oh, my God. Stop it. It's me, Mr. Boinkin.

That's not helping. We could have a freeway. What the hell? Can you hang up on him? Can you hang up on me? I don't want to. I like Mr. Boinkin a lot. I like all you guys, too.

Can I come visit? Okay. Okay. See, that's just a fun voice that I do, Savannah. Can we go out again? I was just doing it for fun. Just having fun with you, just having fun with everybody here. No, no, definitely not.

All right, Savannah, are you sure? Oh, man. I'm positive. Well, thank you, Savannah, for being honest. I appreciate it. Yeah, thank you. And, Gabriel, I'm sorry you did not get another date, man. Well, f*** it.
