Kevin is taking a break from doing his squat thrusts And his hip thrusties And his slurpy burpees

And his jump squat back hacks Really? And his leg press scrunch-ups Yikes To do a first day follow-up today Because Kevin apparently met the girls not calling him back At his CrossFit gym Oh, CrossFit. Here we go.

What's up, Kevin? How are you? Hey, I'm doing good, man. How are you doing? Not too bad. You met the girl that's not calling you back at your CrossFit gym? Yeah, man. I mean, it's intense in there. So, you know, you're there, you're sweating, you're putting it all out there. So, you know, when you're there, you sweating you're you know you're putting it all out there so you know when you're there you kind of grow close with somebody and you make the connection and i felt like i noticed her noticing me you know there's those guys who go to the gym you know to to to hit on girls i'm not that kind of guy listen i only i really thought we made a connection so i figured i'd do the slightly less creepy thing and look her up on Facebook and maybe shoot her a DM.

Okay. You chose Facebook over Instagram. That's interesting. I mean, listen, I had a couple of drinks one night, you know, which I'm not supposed to. And I just, you know, worked up the courage to do it. And she wrote back. She did? Okay.

So what did you say to her? Yeah, I said, hey, you know, I've been wanting to chat with you after class. But, you know, you're always running off to work and we're looking pretty gross. I don't want to bother you. But I figured one day after the class, we can go out and maybe grab a coffee or rather grab a smoothie, you know. That's right. That's within our, and she was down. That's cool.

What did she end up saying back to you? She said that she was down, that, you know, she was down. That's cool. What did she end up saying back to you? She said that she was down, that she was free on Wednesday. And so at 2 o'clock after when the class ends, she'd be down to go grab a smoothie. Okay, so did you go and grab a smoothie with her? So, yeah, we went. We got in there, and we were online. We were having a nice conversation. You know, it's a little weird when you get to the cashier

because, you know, she was actually in front of me and I didn't want to put too much pressure on her by paying for it because then it would seem more like a date and not like two people getting to know each other.

So I just figured, let's just go with that. Just only a couple of dollars anyway, right? It was like $4.95. But we had our drinks, we went to the park, we chilled. And how was the conversation?

Did she feel like, or did you feel like she was into it? Yeah, we were vibing. You know, we talked about the, you know, the workout of the day, what we thought, which one we liked, which one we didn't like,

about our instructors and, you know, who we preferred. I mean, it was great. Did you find out anything about her specifically other than the fact she works out well she's got a couple of siblings she's the youngest and she grew up in New York just like me so and is this the only time that you guys went out yeah very first time and it was good. So I waited the typical two days and then I texted her by DM'd her back and for some

reason she hasn't quite wrote back. Have you seen her at the gym? I haven't gone to the gym. I've been jammed at work all week so and I was just kind of trying to see how this situation works out

before because if she's not writing me back I don't really know what's going on it's going to be super awkward yeah it would

really awkward is there anything that you can think of that went wrong why should we go see you I don't know I mean maybe I smelled

I put on deodorant I don't know I have no idea why I mean that literally has been a I put on deodorant. I don't know. I have no idea why. I mean, that literally has been a reason before. For sure, yeah. We have had someone be like, hey, they just smell bad. Maybe. Or is it, should I have paid for her smoothie?

I mean, the way that you explained it, it made sense. Like, if I was in her situation, I wouldn't mind paying for my own smoothie, especially without it being like, I mean, it kind of is a date. You guys set up a time and it was after you guys' class. But also at the same time, like how you explained it is how I would feel too. Like nothing, you know, too serious and you're just getting to know each other. It's just a smoothie. So I don't know.

For me, that could not be it. I don't know. Maybe she has a boyfriend she didn't tell me about. Yeah, that's been one too Let's hope not There's been a lot of things That would suck I mean she's posting though

I see her posting With her friends I mean she's posting At the gym Posting and she's ghosting Posted and ghosted Alright Well we'll play a song

We'll come back And then we'll call her And see if we can figure it out For you okay Thanks man We'll get your first date Follow up next It's the Jubal Show.

Right in the middle of today's first date follow-up, if you're just joining us, Kevin is on the phone, and Kevin met a girl named Hannah at his CrossFit gym. He noticed her in class and then DM'd her and asked her to go out for a smoothie after one of their classes, and she agreed. He thought it went great. The smoothies were delicious.

Yeah, they were. We went into detail about the flavor on those, but he also thought the date was great. They have a lot in common, along with working out other things, too, also from the same area in New York where they grew up. And so he's really into her, but now she's not calling him back, and he doesn't know why. So we're about to call her and see if we can figure it out for him.

All right, Kevin, you ready to go? Yeah. Hello? Hi, may I speak to Hannah, please? Yeah, this is her. Hey, Hannah, how are you? This is the Jubal Show. My name is Jubal.

Mine's Alex Fresh. Mine's English Evan. Hi. So you have heard of the show? Yeah. Have you listened to it, though? I can't say that I have, really. All right, that's fine. I'll tell you why we're calling, because it's probably weird that I have. Oh, really? All right, that's fine.

I'll tell you why we're calling because it's probably weird that we're calling you, but we're calling because we do a segment on the show called The First Date Follow-Up. Basically what that is, if you go out on a date with someone and then you end up ghosting them, that person can email us to get you on the phone and ask you why.

And you have been ghosting a dude named Kevin. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And Kevin emailed us and told us about your date, said that he really liked you, also said that you haven't talked to him in about seven days since the date, and he would like to know why.

Do you mind telling us? Uh, yeah. Well, what did he tell you what did he tell you guys well yeah he said that you guys met at your gym your crossfit gym and that he asked you out for a smoothie date and that you guys went and got a smoothie and he hasn't been able to get a hold of you since. It's just a little awkward, I guess. But the reason that I ghosted him is when we would text his text, he used so many exclamation points. So many exclamation points. I felt like I was talking to a 15-year-old boy.

And it just was a really big turnoff. And it was just so, it was too many. And be like, what's up? With like a thousand exclamation points. I know some people like that, that they'll text you and it's always exclamation points or emails are always exclamation points. And you're just like, are you this excited about everything all the time sorry but that's the reason you're

not getting back to him yeah is it because are you like a grammar or like a nazi or maybe a school teacher no i i wouldn't say that it's just something that you wouldn't want to deal with going forward in a relationship? Yeah. Like, can we just tone it down? It felt like it was too much all in my face when we were texting. In person, it was great. In person, it was good. Yeah.

I mean, I'm attracted to Kevin. I think he's very cute. But I don't know. Every time I got a text message from him, I would he's very cute. But I don't know. Every time I got a text message from him, I would just cringe. Wow. Okay. I wonder if he realizes that he does that.

I mean, I wouldn't assume so. Yeah. We should ask him. We should ask him about it. Right now. What do you think? What? Yeah, he's actually listening to this conversation and wants to talk to you. Hey, Hannah. Wow do you think? What? Yeah, he's actually listening to this conversation and wants to talk to you. Hey, Hannah. Oh, you're alive. You guys.

Oh, Hannah. So that was it, huh? Wow. That was an exclamation point. It was more like three. Okay. And if that's what turned you off, then I don't know who the 15-year-old here is, me or you. But listen, I was just, listen, when you get to know somebody at the very beginning, I'm just trying to be a little bit friendly. Sometimes texts can come across as a little bit cold, and I was trying to be warm. And instead of using corny emojis, I figured I'd put a little oomph with exclamation points, but wow. Exclamation points, wow. I'm sorry.

I was still trying to process what is happening right now. And that you're on the phone. But, yeah, I just, Kevin, it was just too much. It was too much. Sure, yeah, okay. Yeah, I mean, you could have just texted me that without exclamation points or whatever, but okay. I guess I'll see you around in class or not.

I don't know. You guys aren't even going to talk it out at all, huh? Come on. I mean, there's really nothing to talk about, right? I still use a few exclamation points. I mean, that's what people do. It wasn't a thousand. Kevin, Kevin, Kevin, it was more than a few.

I mean, I feel like you're downplaying how many exclamation points you actually use. Downplaying? It was a lot. It was a few. I mean, I feel like you're downplaying how many exclamation points you actually use. It was a lot. It was a lot. After it would be, what's up? How are you? So great.

Exclamation point, exclamation point, exclamation point. I mean, I don't think I've ever seen somebody use so many exclamation points. And I like exclamation points. I use them myself. Just one or two. It's a great piece of conversation. If it's warranted, three at max. Three is fine. I think three, you know,

at the end of the phrase. Not every time, but you know, then you can downgrade it to two or one. No, see, it was every time, though. It was every time. And. It was every time. And it was more than three. I was just trying to be friendly.

Friendly with 16 exclamation points? I mean, it's like... It wasn't even 16. Come on, stop exaggerating. For real, it was three. Maps. Per sentence. Whatever.

Three maps. But you did it every time after every single thing you said. They're free. They're free. They're free. I've never heard anyone say that. You guys are already arguing about some of the weirdest stuff. And to me, that says that you're ready for a relationship.

Hannah, would you like to go out with Kevin one more time? We'll pay for it. I mean, if it's only going to be to argue about exclamation points, I think that's a no. You know, we can just be adults about this. I mean, at least I can be. I don't know about you, but, you know, I guess I'll see you around class or, you know,

we'll take different classes. But, Hannah, very nice to meet you. No exclamation point. How do you ask that? Jubal's First Date Follow-Up. Hey, everyone. It's Katie Couric. Well, the election is in the homestretch,
