Be more you this year and find them on Bumble. The Indicator is a podcast where daily economic news is about what matters to you. And we're guessing most days, that's money.

First date follow-up. Apparently, Jessica, who's on the phone for a first date follow-up, almost choked on her first date. Is it a memorable one? I mean, that could be a good thing sometimes.

Well, I don't know if she means choke like, I don't know if she means choke like, like didn't do a good job, like, ah, I choked, like a sports type choke. Or choked like if she was in bed. That is a good kind of choking for sure. I wonder if that happened on the first date. That's a good first date.

It probably has happened on a lot of first dates. I think, yeah, it definitely has happened on a lot of first dates. In several different ways. So how did she choke? Yeah, so Jessica, your email said that you choked on your first date. That could be an awesome thing. Could be a not awesome thing. In most of my experience with that, it's been an awesome thing.

So was it a not awesome thing? Well, we'll get to that in a's been an awesome thing. So, was it an odd awesome thing or an odd? Well, we'll get to that in a second. Did you need to get the Heimlich maneuver? Before we get into what your email was talking about with you choked on the date, first of all, what's the guy's name that you want to call? His name is Sean. Sean, alright. And where did you meet

Sean? We actually just met online and decided to meet up in person for dinner. And did you meet on some weird website about like choking, like chokematch.com or something? No, no, no, no. The choking is not what you guys think at all. Well, what did you guys do for your first date? What did you and Sean do for your first date? It was pretty standard. We just met up for dinner. I mean, we met online and wanted to meet in person and thought, let's go have some food and just meet up. And how was the meetup? I mean, I thought it was great, to be honest. The only

hiccup or choke up was when I choked, which was, you know, we were eating and I took a bite of my food and it kind of went down the wrong hole. So I just kind of like coughed and like, what did you choke on? It was just, it was an asparagus, but I guess it was like, it was spicy and I wasn't expecting it to be spicy. And it was just one of those moments, you know, when you're swallowing, you're just like, and I had to spit it out onto my napkin. Oh, that's awkward. I needed to be as straight as possible. Yeah. I was not expecting an asparagus.

No. I was expecting like an Italian meatball or something. Yeah, something. Something with some cheese. I feel like choke on cheese a lot. Cheese items, pasta items are chokeables. I don't know what happened. I just think the spice threw me off.

And if I didn't take it out, I was just going to be coughing and coughing. I was going to say, yeah, like, you know, sometimes you'll do that and you'll kind of choke it down, but you couldn't do that. So you had to spit it out. Yeah, exactly. I was like, it was horrifying, of course. I'm like, oh, my God, you're seeing all this. I mean, choking is already bad enough, but then like having to spit it out, like that's gotta be embarrassing.

I mean, that wouldn't turn me off. If that happened on a day, I'd be like, okay, that happens with food. You know? Yeah, I mean, but you know, people can be particular. So I just, I didn't get that type of vibe. He was very nice about it. He just was like, have some water,

but that's the only thing I can think of really. Why he's not calling you back. But was the date good? I mean, did it seem like he liked you other than that? Yeah. I mean, we were, we were laughing and, you know, just talking about random things and getting to know each other. We had already kind of covered the basics online.

I don't think there was much awkwardness other than that really right he was just really personable and like funny and when he would talk about like his job and like because his eyes would just like light up he was very passionate about it and it was just something really refreshing you know then other than to hear somebody like oh I hate my job and blah so So it was just like really nice to see. And like, I would want to be around that, you know. Yeah. And people who are passionate about what they do and enjoy what they do, that's usually an attractive thing. Yeah, exactly. And we, we actually have the same dog. Oh, that's cute. He has a golden retriever like me.

And I just thought that was really great because it's like, oh, let's go on a puppy date. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's cool. That is a good thing to bond over. I mean, that's right there probably tells you subtly that you guys are meant to be if you have the same dog. Well, we'll figure it out. We'll play a song, come back, and then call him and see if the choking on food is what did you in and why he's not calling you back, okay?

Okay, great. Right in the middle of your first date follow-up, and if you're just joining us, Jessica is on the phone, and Jessica went out with a guy named Sean on her first date. She thinks that he might not be calling back because she accidentally choked on an asparagus in the middle of their date, and I guess it was an awkward moment

because she had to spit it back out. Did you spit it into a napkin or did you spit it on the table? Where'd you spit it? Oh God, no, into a napkin. I think we should spit it on the table right here in front of us. I would have spit it right in his lap.

Oh no. Gross. It was a napkin. And I folded it, you know, put it away. The polite thing to do. But other than that, she can't think of another reason that he wouldn't be calling her back. At the end of your date, I didn't ask you in the first part, at the end of your date, did you guys kiss? Did you guys make plans to go out again, anything?

No, there was no first kiss, but he did say, like, okay, we'll talk soon. So, I mean, I was the first one that texted him, and yeah, he, we'll talk soon. Or so, I mean, I, I was the first one that texted him and yeah, that he hasn't responded. Okay. Okay. How long has it been since you guys' date? It's been two weeks. Oh,

wow. That's a while. Okay. Yeah. I'd want to know. Yeah, me too. I'd be curious.

All right. Well, we're going to dial this phone right now. See if we can figure it out. Okay. Okay. All right, here we go.

Hello? Hi, may I speak to Sean, please? Yeah, I'm speaking. Sean, how are you? This is the Jubal Show. My name's Jubal. Mine's Alex. What's up? What is this? The Jubal Show. It's a radio show. Sounds like you haven't heard of it. No, sorry. What's up? Why are you guys calling me?

Well, we're calling you because we do a segment on our show called The First Date Follow-Up. That's where if you go out on a date with someone and then end up ghosting them, they can email us to get you on the phone and try to figure out what happened. And you recently ghosted somebody. Do you have any idea who could have emailed us? Is this Jessica? Correct. Congratulations.

You got it right. Jessica emailed us because she said that you're not calling her back. She told us about your date. She said that she had a really good time with you, and she doesn't know what happened. You mind telling us? All right. Yeah, we went out. Uh, we got a little

bite and a couple of drinks. It was cool. Um, I liked her. Um, I mean, she was pretty, she looked like her picture. Rave review. It sounds like you didn't really like it. Like, it sounds like, I don't know, just the way that you said that. Hey, you know, you want me to be honest? I didn't fall in love on the first date. She was pretty. Okay. She didn't use trick photography. She looked like her picture.

That's good. I mean, you know, worse things have happened in my career. So, you know, I liked her and everything like that. Good to talk to, I would say. And we were laughing. The date was good. So if it was good, then why not try again? Yeah.

A brutal truth is we're talking before the date and, you know, she's telling me about herself. I'm telling her about me and there's kind of like one detail she's like oh yeah green eyes and all this and um as we're sitting there looking and uh i'm noticing the more i looked i was like those are false contacts you can tell then once you notice it once you see it, right? And I was like, they were not green. She's wearing, I'm like, you know, what's next?

She's wearing a wig. Wait, you're not calling her back because she's wearing, because she lied about her eye color and that she was wearing contacts? Yeah, yeah. Okay, so. That's it? No, that's not it because she's lying. You know, it's kind of a big deal.

It's like a big part of who you are, your face. A lot of people wear colored contacts, I think. What color do you think her eyes are, then? Probably brown, right? But there's nothing wrong with that. I have brown eyes. But it's like, be real. She's lying about that. It's like, what kind of a cheeseball?

You know, it's like, oh, I have green eyes. And then they roll up. They've got like bionic implant eyes. It's like so stupid. So it's more the fact that she lied about her eye color than the fact that she was wearing It's lame, you know?

I mean, like, be you. Be your best self, right? You know what's also lame? Mm-hmm. Is that we didn't tell you that. She's been on the phone the whole time. Oh, God. Hey, Sean.

Hi. Hey. Wait, so you don't have green eyes, and you said you have green eyes. What color of eyes do you have? I have hazel eyes. They may look a little green in the sunlight, but it's more brownish than green. So I wear contacts to bring out the green, I guess. Why do you have to lie about it? You know, I just, I've been

wearing contacts for such a long part of my life that I, it's not really that I'm like trying to lie, like blatantly lie, I just it's what I say. It's just an everyday thing. I mean, it sounds to me like you're insecure

about it because you like listed on your stuff that he's talking about, like your eye color. And then you're wearing the contacts, which is fine. But you're trying to pretend like it's not that you're not wearing contacts. You should just own it, I think. Yeah. Yeah. It is a big insecurity.

It's not something that, you know, you guys like saying like, you're beautiful. You don't even know what I look like first. But that's not really helping. I appreciate it, but it's not going to be solved in just one day. But you are though, you are though, if you think you are, you will be. All right. Look, now I kind of feel bad. Now you heard me say, I thought you were pretty. I mean, I don't think anybody wouldn't think you're pretty. You're very good looking. But I'm just like, why the lie? That's weird. I mean, it shouldn't have to be so screwed up.

Just be yourself, like they said. I don't want to beat up on you. Would you like to go on a second date with Jessica? We will pay for it. Now that you've come clean about the eye color, and Jessica, there's nothing more to hide, I don't think. Maybe, but who knows? Hopefully not.

Would you like to go out with Jessica again on another date? You know, Jessica, you're beautiful just the way you are. And I would like to see you again. I just didn't like the dishonesty about the eye color. That's all. All right. That's a start. That's good.

I'd like to go out with you again. Yay. Nice. That's all. All right. That's a start. That's good. I'd like to go out with you again. Yay. Nice. That's exciting. Yeah. Congratulations, Jessica. You got another date. All right. I'm glad you reached out. Thank you. Thank you for giving me another chance. I'm really looking forward

to it. I can't wait to see you again. Awesome. I guess if we're being real honest, one thing you should know is I don't really like Italian food, so if we could just kind of not go Italian, that'd be great. Jubal's First Date Follow-Up.
