First date follow-up.
Okay, before we talk to the dude
who's on the phone for a first date follow-up today,
I want to ask Alex a question.
Would this be considered a good date to you?
The guy picks you up,
and then you go sit in an abandoned parking lot
for an hour or two,
staring at a wall.
Okay, that sounds scary.
It sounds scary to me, but the dude on the phone, his name's Ricardo. Ricardo, how are you? Hey,
what's going on guys? Ricardo might've actually found a way to make that date enjoyable. Really?
Yeah. I actually, I read your email, Ricardo, and you had a very creative first date idea for the girl that you want to call today. And I'm curious, just like you are, why she's not
calling you back. First of all, before we get into what you did on your date, what's her name?
Alessandra.
Alessandra. All right. And how did you meet her?
I actually met her on Instagram.
Okay. True love story.
Yeah. I mean, that's how Alex and I met on the gram.
That's how me and my girlfriend met.
That's how everybody meets now.
So did you message her first or did she message you first?
I messaged her first.
Okay. All right. So you messaged her and or did she message you first? I messaged her first. Okay.
So you messaged her and you were like, hey, you're hot.
Hot.
With seven O's in hot.
That's exactly how it went down.
I mean, obviously it went down okay because you guys did go out on a date, right?
Yeah, it went down
pretty smooth, I think. Okay, where did you guys
go for your date? So,
how Jubal said about the
abandoned parking lot, that's
what we did, but it was a way
more creative idea. How can you
make that creative? So, like,
there's not a lot of things open right
now. Like, there's only a few restaurants open,
but everything has, you know, the social
distancing stuff, so
movie theaters aren't really open.
So what I did was I created my own little drive-in theater.
I brought a projector.
Oh, that's sweet.
Yeah, a super kit.
See, that is the way you can take a woman on a first date
to an abandoned parking lot and not have her go,
you're trying to kill me, sir.
That's a good idea, actually.
You made your own drive-in movie.
Yeah, so we watched Netflix and hung out.
I brought her some snacks and, you know, kind of made a night of it.
So you Netflixed and parking lotted.
I guess you would call it.
Yeah.
Yeah, that sounds like a good idea for a date.
I mean, did she seem to like it?
From everything I could tell, she seemed
like she was really into it.
We both laughed and
she liked the snacks that I brought, so I thought it went well. joint of souls, you know, she liked the snacks that I brought.
So, yeah, I thought it went well.
Well, it's always good if they like the snacks that you brought.
Like, if you had a bad choice in snacks, I'd be like, that's definitely the reason she's not calling you back.
Yeah, you bring a Kit Kat to my date?
Yeah.
It's a no-go.
You don't bring real Oreos?
Yeah.
You don't bring real Oreos?
You bring some of those Xerox ones or whatever they're called?
You know, the generic one that starts with an X in the store?
Yeah.
Like, that's a deal-breaker for a lot of people.
No, no.
I definitely brought Top Shelf X in the store. Yeah. I guess a deal breaker for a lot of people. No, no, I definitely bought the top shelf snacks for sure.
Okay.
So how long has it been since your date?
About a week and a half.
All right.
So it's been about a week and a half.
And how did it end?
Was that the whole date?
You guys watching TV shows and movies in the parking lot?
Sounds really unromantic when I say it that way.
Well,
yeah.
And then she,
she kissed me on my cheek at the end.
You know,
I thought I went well.
And,
you know,
she, she, I, like I said, she seemed into it.
You know, I didn't pick up anything, like, that she would want to go on a second date.
Told her, I was like, yo, I'll text you later.
And she was like, yeah, definitely.
Should be a text, whatever.
Well, in our experience with these first date follow-ups, people often say that and don't mean it.
So has she not talked to you at all since your self-made drive-in movie date?
No, I haven't heard from her at all.
And there's nothing, like, because usually people leave out if they've done something super creepy on the date.
There's nothing that you did that was weird, was there?
No.
No, I mean, the creepiest thing was the parking lot, and I still made that cool.
All right, yeah.
You're definitely not creepy if you can make an abandoned parking lot fun.
Did you tell her beforehand that you were going to take her to an abandoned parking lot?
Or did you just show up there and then she thought she was going to get murdered?
No, no, no.
I definitely told her beforehand that.
But that was the deal that I was going to like.
She probably was still scared she was going to be murdered.
I would be.
No, no, no.
I definitely think she was into it and had a good time.
So I really don't know what it is.
Okay.
Well, we'll play a song.
Come back, call her, and see if we can figure it out on your first date follow-up, right?
Sounds good.
All right, man.
Hang on.
First date follow-up.
Because of today's first date follow-up, there are going to be a lot of dates in abandoned parking lots, I think.
That's weird.
I hope not. Because Ricardo's
on the phone. And if you missed the first part of the first date follow-up, he told us about a girl
that's not calling him back. Her name is Alessandra, but he did have a very creative first date idea.
It sounds creepy because it wasn't an abandoned parking lot, but because of the pandemic,
you can't go many places. So he actually took her to an abandoned parking lot with a projector
and made his own drive-in movie.
I guess they hung out and watched Netflix for a while.
According to Ricardo, they had a great time, but now she's not calling him back and he has no idea why.
All right.
You've had a second to think about it before we call her, Ricardo.
You can't think of anything?
No, I can't.
You didn't put on like Texas Chainsaw Massacre, did you?
No, no, no, I didn't.
You didn't say something like, hey, it's fine, I take all my dates
to this abandoned parking lot on your way there?
No, we didn't watch the creepy movie.
I didn't put on cuties or anything like that.
Cuties?
That is creepy.
Yeah, that would be creepy.
If you put on cuties in an abandoned parking lot,
no, you should be locked up for that no matter what,
even if it's innocent.
All right, well, I'm going to dial her phone number right now and see
if we can figure out why she's not calling you back, okay?
Cool. Alright, here we go.
Hello?
Hi, may I speak to Alessandra, please?
Um, that's me. Hey,
Alessandra, how are you? This is Jubal from The Jubal
Show. What's that? It's a radio show. It's called The Jub, Alessandra. How are you? This is Jubal from The Jubal Show.
What's that?
It's a radio show.
It's called The Jubal Show.
Oh.
Oh.
I'm sorry.
I don't know what that is.
Why are you calling me?
That's a good question.
I'm calling you because somebody emailed us about you.
And by the way, on the phone right now, it's more than just me.
Mahara's wife, Alex Freyash is here.
Hi.
Oh, hi.
And English Evan is here.
Good morning.
Okay. Weird.
We got an email about you into the show and that's why I'm calling.
An email?
Yes. We do a segment on the show. It's called the first date follow-up. So basically,
this is what it is. Not even basically. This is just, this is what it is. Not even basically. This is what it is.
Not even basically.
Sorry, that's bad use of the English language right there.
And I apologize for that.
I'm a broadcast professional.
I should know better.
You talk for a living, Google.
Yes, sorry.
Now I'm ranting and you're probably like, what the hell is going on?
Anyway, if you go out on a date with somebody and then ghost them,
they can email us to call you and figure out what happened.
So we got an email about you and it said some very nice things and it was from a dude named Ricardo.
Oh.
Okay.
Makes sense
now? Kind of making sense? Yeah.
What did he say in the email?
Well, he said that
you guys met on Instagram.
He said that he really liked you
and wanted to take you out.
He did say that he took you to an abandoned
parking lot. At first we were like, that's
creepy, Ricardo. And then he told us
what the date was and we actually thought it was kind of cool.
He said he planned sort of a
self-made drive-in movie experience
for you guys. Took snacks, a little projector
since there's no movie theaters
open and you guys hung out in the car and watched movies
and ate snacks. He thought you had a great time,
but apparently you feel the opposite
because you haven't responded to any of his phone calls or text messages.
So we're calling to find out why.
Exactly.
Yeah, no, the date was actually really cute and really fun.
And, you know, he had me cracking up.
We did have a good time,
but this is, like, one thing that I couldn't get past.
Okay.
Was it the kind of car that he drove?
No.
Was it the movie selection that he picked?
No.
It was the snacks.
Was it the snacks?
No, it wasn't.
All of that was fine.
All right.
So why aren't you calling him back?
Okay.
Well, oh, God.
I'm going to feel really bad saying this,
but you know how life is right now,
and when you go somewhere, you have to, like, show up with a mask on.
Well, when he pulled the mask down,
I saw what his teeth looked like,
and he has, like, really fugly teeth.
Oh, No way.
Sad.
Yeah.
His teeth is the reason?
Yeah.
It's like, I can't help it.
I find, I know that there's a British guy listening right now, but I feel bad.
I'm not attracted to that.
He actually has pretty good teeth.
He's a dual citizen, so his teeth are fine.
Yeah, he probably had braces.
I did.
My mom's American. She
fools me.
I know it sounds shallow,
but I don't even know how this
got past me. I went back onto Instagram
and I looked at his pictures
and then I was like, oh my god,
he's not showing teeth in any of his
photos. That's what people do.
He was a really cool person
and I could maybe hang out with him as a friend, but i don't think i could put my lips on his lip oh my gosh was it
was it like the order of the teeth or was it the the color were they super yellow it was like the
whole package dude it was like they're all going different directions like little jigsaw puzzle
pieces that just didn't fit together do you know what i mean they're all like different color and
different shapes and all different sizes i speak I talk now? Can I speak?
Are you serious? What? Who's that?
Oh, yes, you can talk now,
Ricardo. By the way, Alessandro Ricardo is actually
on the other line listening and he wanted to
talk to you and he just heard what you think
of his mouthpiece.
Oh my God, I'm so
sorry. Yeah, wow.
Yeah, he sounded like you're really apologetic the way
you were laughing your ass off just now.
I'll crack it by my mouth.
I did.
I sounded really, really, really sorry about it.
Sounds like it.
I did not know you were listening.
I mean, yeah, she didn't know you were listening.
Also, Ricardo, we do tell everybody, you know how it is.
We say, hey, if you want to do this, you've got to be prepared to hear something you might not want to hear.
I haven't seen you.
Sound like a nice dude.
I don't know if your girl's messed up.
My teeth were horrible
until I had braces for like seven years
as a kid. And now he just has a gap.
And now I have a huge gap
in the middle of my teeth, but I actually
embrace my teeth. They're not
the best. Yeah, I mean, I know
how my teeth look. I just thought maybe
she'd be able to look past that if she
actually was into me and liked me.
Yeah, there's always Invisalign.
You know, women get judged on tons of different things in our appearance.
And I can't help it when I'm not attracted to the teeth.
Ricardo, that's not a bad point.
Everybody's got something that they could get judged on.
You know, I mean, except for me.
You know, perfection.
You're gorgeous.
Yes, thank you very much.
I have beautiful pug-like good looks, and I know that.
But anybody could get judged on something, and some people have deal breakers.
Especially women have to deal with it all the time.
I mean, you know, she's not like she said it to you on the date.
She said it to us when she didn't think you were listening.
I don't know.
I just figured she'd be able to look past it.
Ricardo, the pandemic must have been pretty good for you after having to wear a mask around.
Yeah, I mean, I know how my teeth look,
and I'm actually working on getting them fixed.
But yeah, the pandemic has been all right for me.
My face is my worst feature, so it's been great for me.
Oh, wow.
Okay, well, I'm really sorry, Ricardo.
I hope that at least, I don't know, answers your question and gives you closure.
And maybe there's other girls out there that it doesn't bother them.
You say sorry weird.
I was thinking the same thing.
Sounds Canadian.
Yeah, are you Canadian or something?
Yes, I am.
Oh, all right. Yeah, I have messed or something? Yes, I am. Oh, all right.
Yeah, I have messed up teeth and you say sorry weird.
So I guess I'm good, guys.
All right.
Well, I still have to ask no matter what, even though I know what the answer is going
to be.
Hey, Alessandra, would you like to go out on another date with Ricardo?
We will pay for it.
Maybe after he gets braces.
Okay.
Ricardo, I'm assuming you don't want another date with Alessandra?
Nah, not until she learns
how to say sorry, right?
All right.
Well, I feel like this was
a very successful
first date follow-up.
I mean, you know,
both you guys found things
you don't like about each other.
You don't like his teeth
and he doesn't like
the way you say sorry.
