The Jubal Show on demand. First day follow-up. The guy on the phone for a first day follow-up today, met the girl that he wants us to call. Probably one of the hottest places you could ever meet somebody.

Oh, really? Arizona? Well, not... Miami? Not like weather hot. Like sexy hot. Where do they meet? The gas station, apparently.

Oh. Nothing says romance like the gas station. Hopefully it was near the restrooms because those are always super sexy. Yeah, they are. What's up, Dylan? How are you? I'm good.

How are you guys doing this morning? Not too bad. So you met the girl that you want to call today for a first date follow-up at the gas station? Yeah. The gas station, but specifically over by the vacuum air tire pump or something. Oh, okay. So it's not like you're just hanging out at the gas station and you're actually pumping up your tires?

Oh, I was thinking maybe he does hang out there just to meet people. You stand next to the thing that pumps up tires like, Hey, my name's Dylan. Want to chat? I was there just getting some gas, and I saw her over there, and she was putting air in her tires, and she was, uh, you know, putting air in her

tires and she walked, uh, towards the gas station to get change. And we just so happened to cross paths and she was like, do you have any change? And I was like, yeah, I got changed for you. And I went to my car and got some change. And then we went over there and just started talking. And, uh, I, I pumped her tire up for her. Is that code or did you actually do it? You're like, and then I pumped her tire up. No, it was really air into her tire. That's nice of you though, for sure. She was great.

She was really sweet. She was really nice. I thought we hit it off. And I was like, I know this is kind of, maybe this may be weird, but I asked for her number. I don't think it's weird in that situation. No, not at all. I mean, you'd already pumped her up a little bit.

You already filled her up. It's actually one of the best places I feel like to meet someone. It's unexpected. You know, it's just, you weren't looking for it. It's not like you're online looking for a date. Like, I like how people meet unexpectedly and then go out. Yeah, it's nice when it's natural. Yeah.

So, you know, I got her number, and then, you know, a few days later, I gave her a call, and we went on our first date. What'd you do? I took her to a driving range, a golf ball driving range. Oh, okay.

That's fun. English Evan likes to golf. Yeah, I love to golf. I played in college. That's a great idea, though, because that's one way to get, like, very personal with someone. Totally.

Yeah, it is. You can do the thing where you stand behind them and go, oh, now move your hips. Yeah, you got to wiggle and waggle your hips a little bit. I don't know why we all sound so pervy today with this, but that is a good date though. That's a fun time. You know, do you think that she enjoyed herself?

Yeah, like, you know, it was fun. I think it's like a step up from miniature golf. So it's a little more adult. And, you know, we got a bucket of beers and we had a couple of drinks. It was great, man. I really had a nice time with her. Like, she's smart. She's funny.

You know, we had a really good conversation. I mean, it sounds like it went really well. Like, what do you think is the reason why she's not calling you back? I have no idea. Like, the date was, I thought, went really well. Maybe she was unimpressed by your golf swing and didn't want to call you back. She's like, this guy sucks. I was. I was like, this is

not, I did not golf well. I was really slicing and that's something I was trying to work on. Well, golf's hard, so don't beat yourself up too bad for it. Yeah, like the only thing that it could be is that I get frustrated with myself when I don't do well.

Oh, no. Not like I wasn't throwing clubs or anything. Okay, yeah. Dylan, you think that she might not be calling you back because you were getting angry? I thought that I was getting angry, you know, I was just frustrated. And that's the only thing that I could think of,

of like, ooh, maybe that was, you know, not cool for her. I don't know, man. Like, everything else went really, really well, I thought. Okay, cool. And, uh, you know, I'm just bummed that I haven't heard from her cause I really thought we hit it off and I really like her and I want to see her again. Well, how, uh, how long has it been since your guys' date? Uh, you know, a week ish. Okay. And then how many times have you tried to hit her up? I tried, I sent a text once and I didn't hear anything. And I was just like, all right, you know, don't, don't, I don't want to, you know, push

or feel forceful. You know, she wants to get ahold of me. She's got my number. She knows I text. So I was like, but I haven't heard anything. All right. And what's her name? Nina.

So Nina. Okay. We'll play a song, come back and then we'll call her and see if we can figure out why she's not getting back to you. Okay. Cool. Thanks guys. All right.

We'll do it next. It's a Jubal show. In the middle, right in just the second part of the first. Come on, Jubal, get it together. Dang it. You can't do anything right. Sorry about that. You guys actually thought I was screwing up, huh?

Yeah, yeah. It's fine, it's fine. Keep going, boo-boo. You got this. Come on. I did that because Dylan is on the phone with us for a first day follow-up, and he wants us to call a girl named Nina,

and he thinks the reason he's not getting a call back is because they went golfing together. Well, to the driving range, but the only reason that he can think of that he's not getting a call back from her is because he was getting a little frustrated with himself, and that was my impersonation of a golfer getting angry at themselves. It was good. It's been about a week since he's heard from her, and he can't figure it out, so we're going to call her right now.

All right, Dylan, you ready? Yeah, I'm ready. Here we go so we're going to call her right now. All right, Dylan, you ready? Yeah, I'm ready. Here we go. I'm going to dial her phone number. Hello? Hi, may I speak to Nina? This is she. Nina, how are you?

This is Jubal from The Jubal Show. Hi, Jubal. That's weird. Do you know who I am? I do. I do. What's up? Okay.

Well, everybody's here. Mahara's wife, Alex Freya. Hey. Also English Evan. Hello. Hello. Calling you today because we got an email about you. Oh.

Is this one of those date things? Yes, is this one of those date things? Yes, it is one of those date things. Have you gone on multiple dates or do you know who we're talking about? I know who you're talking about. Oh, you do, huh? And who are we talking about? Dylan. Dylan, yes.

Dylan's the dude we're calling about. He said that you guys went out on a date and he had a lot of fun. He also thought you enjoyed yourself and now you're not calling him back and he's wondering why. Um, I mean, yeah, I, yeah, I'll, I'll, I'll tell you guys. Um, he's very nice. It, it just kind of came down to, uh, really. One thing. Well, let me, okay, I'll tell you what he thinks. See if he's right. Okay, because we talked to him, and he told us that he thinks the reason you're not calling him back is because when you guys went to the driving range,

he wasn't his normal Tiger Woods self, you know? And he was getting frustrated with himself, and so he thought maybe he seemed a little angry to you. Is that why? No, I mean, he got frustrated he was getting frustrated with himself. And so he thought maybe he seemed a little angry to you. Is that why? Uh, no, I mean, he got like frustrated when he would miss,

but no, it wasn't anything alarming or anything like that. It was, it was actually something he said, something he said, what did he say? So he started talking about, um,

how he would never have kids because uh because it's bad for the environment huh what does he mean by that yeah he just said that you know like we as humans were just like so wasteful we're awful you know we're like the cancer to the earth and he wouldn't want to bring more children into it. And, you know, as he got into it, it just got more and more intense to, you know, I was just kind of sitting there taking this lecture. So it sounds like you do want kids?

And yeah, I mean, to me, one of the points of me dating is to find somebody and start a family. Right. How incredibly environmentally insensitive. Yeah. Oh, my God. Very sensitive of me, yes. Yeah. Wow. a family so it was just how incredibly environmentally insensitive yeah oh my god yeah wow that's a very deep conversation to have or a thing to bring up on the first date it is she got intense about that one like i can take the missed golf balls and stuff but he he got very intense about that conversation he feels very very, very strongly about it, clearly. So it just kept escalating.

I mean, I wasn't even saying anything. It just escalated. He's just yelling at you. So he just went on a rant about not wanting to have kids because he thinks it's bad for the environment. Yep. Exactly. All right.

I mean, I can see why you wouldn't call him back. I mean, whether you agree with him on the environment thing or not, you plan on having kids someday and continuing to kill the earth like a rescue man, I guess. But that's a deal breaker for a lot of people, especially if the whole reason you're dating is to meet someone to spend your life with. Right, exactly. Yeah, thank you for being honest with us. I appreciate that.

And now, Nina, I have to be honest with you. I forgot. He's on the phone with me. Yes, Dylan is on the phone be honest with you. I forgot. He's on the phone, isn't he? Yes, Dylan is on the phone. Dylan, you still there? Yeah, I'm here. Hi, Dylan. Yeah, I'm here.

Hi, Nina. How you doing? I'm sorry. I should have been honest. You know, I just thought, you know, I wanted to be honest about my stance on something that I feel very strongly about, you know? Well, at least it wasn't for your anger. Yeah, this is true.

And I think it's a really important subject that people just sort of glaze over when it comes to that. And I feel that, you know, our responsibility as individuals on this planet is to take the time to really reflect on that decision and how we as a society and also as humanity moves forward and making it so it's reproduced as it has such a huge effect on our environment. And, you know, Nina, I'm here, you know, I want to be helpful. I want to try to educate people. And I would love to give you more information that maybe will impact your decision so you can kind of maybe rethink that because I think it's really important. No. You're asking her to rethink having kids yeah yeah i mean we always think about having kids right we're always like oh we are you going to have kids but we never really give the reason

why and the idea of like oh i want a family or i think i should be doing this to me are just like ideas that have been projected into our heads for generations or you just want kids yeah i don't know um well you know thank you for the information dylan i just i'm i'm gonna make my own decision i don't really need another lecture i think i had enough of it the other day i don't think it's a lecture i think it's just you know like information that we don't think if i can't get a word in then it's a lecture i I think it's just, you know, like information that we don't think about. If I can't get a word in, then it's a lecture. I don't know if you really understand the words you're saying about this. I'm going to score

points. I don't think you know what you're talking about. That's why I'm not letting you talk. Sounds like a guy who wants another date. I just don't think most people do when they talk about this, you know, this topic. Well, you're coming in a little bit intense as well, so it's not very welcoming. I think you're just coming in, you know, ignorant topic. Well, you're coming in a little bit intense as well, so it's not very welcoming. I think you're just coming in, you know,

ignorant to this topic, if I can be honest. I think you should, like, you know, look at other people's, you know, opinions as well. Exactly, just what Alex said, Nina, and, like, you need to look at other people's opinions. I don't think she meant us the other way. No, Dylan, she wasn't talking to me to listen to your opinion. She was talking to you to listen to my opinion.

Yeah, I think so. How about I just, I think I know where this is going, so I'm just going to ask the question. Nina, would you like to go out with Dylan on another date? We will pay for it. No. No, no. Wow, shocker.

Yeah, that is a shocker. Dylan, I'm sorry, man. No second date for you? You know, I'm sorry, man. No second date for you. You know, I get that. And I hope that, you know, I hope this conversation maybe shed some light on something that you really haven't had a full chance to to really grasp. Thank you, Dylan. We appreciate it. Well, thank you, guys. You know, I appreciate it. And I hope people listening to this, we'll do a little research for themselves to think about this topic. Cause there's tons of information out there that highlights the impact of per child on our environment.

You know, you do have to reduce to continue this life. Yeah. Well, we don't need to, you know, you know, it's just something about America.

It's like, we just consume, we take more than we need and we always want more. And that makes me, we need to. All right. Well, thank you so much. It's going to be a no for her, and so we're going to go. Thank you.

So have a great day. Yeah, and if you guys ever want me to come back and talk more about this, No, thank you. Oh, my God, get him off. The Jubal Show on demand.
