Ugh, we're so done with New Year, New You. This year, it's more you on Bumble. More of you shamelessly sending playlists, especially that one filled with show tunes. More of you finding Gemini's because you know you always like them. More of you dating with intention because you know what you want. And you know what? We love that for you. Someone else will too. Be more you this year and find them on Bumble.

Consider this is a daily news podcast, and lately, the news is about a big question. How much can one guy change? They want change. What will change look like for energy? Drill, baby, drill. Schools? Take the Department of Education, close it. Health care?

Ben is on the phone for a first date follow-up today,

and he's not getting a call back from a woman named Brandy, which is sad because both of their names start with B. And I hope that they have a long, loving relationship because Ben and Brandy will be super cute on wedding invitations. What's up, Ben? How are you? Hey, I'm doing all right. Sorry to bum you out there by thinking about your future wedding invitations with Brandy, but that would be super cute. Ben and Brandy is a good couple name. It is.

Man, I hope this works out for you then. But apparently she's not calling you back, so let's try to figure that out first before we plan the wedding. Tell us about how you met Brandy, first of all. Well, we met through a mutual friend, and we hit it off one day, and I decided to go on a date. And we went out, and I thought it went pretty well.

You know, it was kind of dinner and then a movie back at my place, but you know, nothing too serious happened, but you know, I thought it went great. Okay. But you know, now just not hearing back from her. Okay. So you met through a mutual friend and had you met her before you guys actually went out on a date? Just like,

just like once before, like briefly, like, like with, you know, in a group of other people. Okay. And so she just went

to your house and watched a movie. Was there anything romantic about it at all or was it pretty, because the way you described it was pretty, you know,

basic, like. Yeah, I mean, you know, we sat on the couch next, you know, next to each other. We like, you know, we like hug, I mean, you know, we sat on the couch, you know, next to each other.

We, like, hugged goodbye, but that was about it. How was her body language during the date? You know, I thought it was pretty normal. You didn't watch her body language to tell if she was really into you? Because you can tell. I watch body language all the time, and you can tell just based on the way

people's feet are sometimes, like if they want to get out of a conversation or not, or way they sit you know if their legs are crossed away from you kind of it usually means that they kind of want to get away from you or they can if they're like kind of their body language is slumping into you it means that they're into you and then there's the whole thing of course like when it comes to women and flirting and stuff they play with their hair a lot if they're flirting was she doing that or was it she pretty much like, was her whole body pointed toward the door and she wasn't moving her hands? Or was she kind of fidgety and flirty?

No, no, like I think she was pretty into it, you know, like we were sitting pretty close on the couch. I had my arm around her, you know, we like snuggled a little bit. So we had a great conversation. We talked about like comedy and college basketball, which is something, you know, two things that like, uh, you know, I've been out with a lot of girls and like, you know, sometimes it's like hard to like find that we have like a lot in common and, you know, obviously she's like really attractive physically. And, um, I, I just really, really like

her thought everything went well. And so I was super bummed out when seeming like a really good date. She's just like not getting back to me. Okay. And can you think of any reason why? I mean, honestly, no. Like from my perspective, I thought, you know, everything went really well and that we were going to hang out again. Okay. How long has it been since your date? It's been about a week.

A week. All right. You know what? I'm going to speculate on why she might not be calling you back. By the way, first of all, before I do that, how did you end things?

So it's been about a week. How did you end things? Did you end things where it seemed like things were cool and you were going to go out again? Or was it obvious

that she didn't want to go out with you again after the first date? I mean, I didn't think so. So like, you know, we hugged goodbye

and, you know, had a little conversation in the door and I said, I'd really love to see you again. She agreed.

Tried to play it cool, wait a couple days. I think this was Saturday, so I think I texted her later that night. I never heard from her at all. I have maybe an idea on why you might not be getting a call back. We'll see if I'm right or not. But first, we're going to play a song, come back. I'll give you what I think, and then we'll make our phone call to her

and see if that is the reason, okay? All right, sounds good. Thank you so much. If you're just joining us for today's first date follow-up, Ben is on the phone. Super cute. He went out with a girl named Brandy. Ben and Brandy.

But Ben isn't getting a call back from Brandy. It is cute. And he's wondering why. If you missed the first part, he kind of described the date to us. He said they went out to dinner and then back to his house to watch a movie. And he's not understanding why she's not getting it back to him. And I said that I had an idea as to why. And if you missed the first part, trust me on this.

Ben, when you were describing the date, it didn't sound like you even really liked her that much. And I'm wondering if you're kind of like me. Because most of the time people don't know what I'm thinking or like if I like them even. Alex and I are married, by the way, if you didn't know that. And when we first started dating, I think for a long time, she couldn't even tell if I was into it. And I was super into it.

Like I was falling in love right away. She had no idea. So maybe you're kind of like that. And she didn't even pick up on the fact that you really liked her. I guess maybe, yeah. Like I'm kind of reserved with my emotions. I don't love to be super expressive about my feelings. Which is okay.

I'm telling the truth. When I said I really like Brandy and i'm super bummed out that it hasn't worked out i mean you know especially with everything that's going on it's really hard to meet people so when you meet someone that you click with you know it's a bummer when it doesn't work out all right i'm gonna dial that phone right now and see if that is the reason or whatever the reason is and then you can see if you can get another date with her. Here we go. Hello? Hi, may I speak to Brandy, please?

Yes, sir. Hey, Brandy, please? Yes, sir. Hey, Brandy, how are you? This is The Jubal Show. My name is Jubal. Mine's Alex. Hi. Have you listened to the show before? I do, actually.

Oh, nice. Yeah, I listen all the time. Okay. Thank you. Why are you calling? Well, there's only a couple reasons that we could be calling. We'll see how much you do listen. Do you know what those reasons are? Okay, well, I am not cheating on anyone currently,

so this is not a war of the roses, and I'm guessing it is a Thursday follow-up. Your guess is correct. Congratulations. Fun. Have you been ghosting several people, or is it just one person? No, just one person. And I never thought I would get this call.

So you know who it's about then? I do. Ben wants to know why you're not calling him back. He said you guys went out to dinner and back to his house to watch a movie. And he had a great time and he's wondering why you've been ghosting him. So I listen to your show all the time and because I listen, I know that Ben is on the other line. Wow.

You're full of right answers, aren't you? Yeah. Yes. We can bring him on after if it's too awkward to bring him on right now, I can wait. Oh yeah. If I have an option.

Yeah. It's super awkward. Okay. So you want to tell us then why you're not calling back you're not going to tell him though right of course it's really embarrassing he's listening right he's literally listening we'll just act like he's not though okay

we can pretend if you want oh my god okay I'll just tell you I'm just going to tell you before you bring him on the phone Ben's a great guy he's really sweet we totally hit it off we have the same taste. We, Isaiah has great taste in movies. Um, he's super cute. I would totally have gone on another date with him, but when I was at his house, uh, we were in his living room watching TV and there

are a bunch of photographs up on the wall and I was just glancing as I was walking to the bathroom and there's a photo of mom and his dad and I recognized his mom. I used to work at this dive bar, um, downtown and it's kind of a seedy spot. Uh, I was there for like a year and she used to come in all the time. It was just like a couple of years ago. So that's why you're ghosting him? No, she was always with this dude who was like a Hell's Angel biker dude. Okay. Clearly, like, was not his dad

in the photo, yes. Okay, so it's Ben's, like, obviously Ben's, they're married still. So Ben's dad is a Hell's Angel and like, are you scared of him or what? That's kind of cool. Like, you just didn't like that? I mean, I asked Ben just to make sure. I said, is your dad into motorcycles?

Does he own a hog? And he just laughed. He said, no, my dad is the furthest thing from a motorcycle rider. So do you think that like maybe you got his mom wrong then? I mean, people look alike. Nope, definitely not. Nope. I double checked. I went on his Instagram. I saw pictures of her. I was certain there was, definitely not. Nope. I double checked. I went on his

Instagram. I saw pictures of her. I was certain there was no question in my mind when I saw it. So it's definitely the same person. The person you saw in the picture at his house with his dad is the same person that used to go into this bar you worked at with, um, like a biker dude. 1000% could have been a friend way or they were romantic? Nope. Nope. Like, oh my God, this is so awkward. No, like, like making out in the corner. Awkward. Oh, okay. So you don't want to date her son because you, she knows that, you know, basically, I mean, she went there a lot and she would recognize you and she super awkward. And it's not like we've been dating for three years and there's investment

it's right at the beginning and it's just a lot all up front and I didn't know how to handle it or what to say to him. It's just not my place. Even just knowing that I feel like would be awkward to have that in the back of your head even if the mom didn't remember you from the bar just to know that wow this is all kinds

of... And then if I happen to run into her at some point my head was just spinning I was like this is all kinds of... And then if I happen to run into her at some point, my head was just spinning. I was like, this is too much. I just can't handle it. I'm not up to this. Well, now I just want to check on how Ben's doing because that's a lot of information that he just heard. That is.

Ben, how are you feeling about that? Hearing that news? Do you know what that's about? Or is that brand new to you? No, I didn't even know my mom drank oh my god oh man I feel like such a jerk and I'm so sorry Ben are your parents still married yeah yeah they've been they've been married for 35 years oh man so what if they have an upper relationship, though, and they never told you?

Yeah, they could. It's a doubtful. Okay. For once, I don't know where to go from here. I'm like speechless. Ben, I'm really sorry. I obviously did not want you to find this out this way. I don't even want to know this information, so I can't even imagine how you're processing this, but I'm really,

really sorry. I mean, yeah, it's not your fault at all. It's just, uh, it's a really crazy way to find out a really crazy thing. Yeah. I mean, just for the record, Ben, I really did. I really do like you. I really had a great time and I thought we really hit it off. I would love to have gone out with you again. I just can't imagine a scenario in which I have to be in the same space with your mom or be involved with all this. It's just too much. I hope you can understand. Uh, I mean, yeah. But maybe not though. Like, if you think about it,

if you think about it, guys, Brandy, you're already involved in the family drama. It's like you guys are married. Yeah,

I'm like standing on the outside of the window looking in. I don't know if I want to sit down at the dining room table for Sunday dinner,

you know? Ben obviously has a lot to think about and I think you're very clear on where you stand, but I still have to ask the question, would you guys like to go out

on another date? We will pay for it. Brandy would you like to go out with Ben again? You guys should because your names are Brandy and Ben and that's super cute.

I would but I can't. I mean not right now. Not right now so there's still an opportunity Ben. Yep. No means numerous opportunities. Yeah I guess

I'm just saying about what I'm going to say to my mom right now. Yeah I bet. Jubal just thinking about what I'm going to say to my mom right now. Yeah, I bet. Jubal's First Date Follow-Up.
