Trent is on the phone today for a first day follow-up, and he's getting ghosted by a woman named Kara. So in a few minutes, we'll call her and see if she'll tell us why she's ghosting him. Maybe get him a second date. But first, Trent, how long has it been since your date with Kara? It's been like a couple weeks. Yeah, man. I mean, look, we had a great date.

Don't really understand why she's ghosting me. But anyway, so I work in IT. I'm a big animal guy. And I was volunteering at the shelter. And that's where I met her. And, you know, we were like kind of just talking just casually. And then all of a sudden, like three dogs just climbed up on us. and I don't know, it just felt kind of heavenly.

I was like, yeah, it might be the girl. Okay, for sure. But yeah, I don't know. I care. I had this, like, easy warmth about her, and it seems like she likes animals the same way I do. I mean, she was volunteering. Yeah, I don't know.

It just felt like very casual and easy, and I thought she was pretty funny. She's really kind. What was the date? So you guys met at the shelter and you guys are playing with dogs. Was that your date, or that's, like, how you guys started to talk?

Well, it's kind of funny. Well, that's actually how we met, but then our date was also going to the shelter. I thought instead of like going out to dinner, it would be kind of fun to, you know, go to the shelter and have a little picnic there. You know, there's just like glass ceiling style with all these plants and it's like really good natural light. And anyways, I brought a blanket into food and, you know, the dog just went on a date with us. Okay. Dog's making everything better. Did you guys kiss?

Was she flirting back? Did you feel like you guys had serious chemistry? I thought so until there was a parrot in the room. And it squeaked, feed me right when I was about to kiss her. I thought it was funny and she lost to, but. Wait, there was a parrot? You got a parrot there too. This is so wild.

I love this place. Okay. Yeah, it's pretty fun. Yeah, so I don't know. I just feel like she might be ghosting me because we were laying on the blanket. it and you know how it is sometimes like you're a little close and I forget that her hair is much longer than mine and how to navigate that and at one point she tried to get up and I didn't know my elbow was on her hair and it yanked a lot of her hair out and I don't know I felt very

bad it was obviously out not like fully but she did yell oh okay and before she yelled and then the dog started barking and then remind you that the parrot just said what it said up with that. It was kind of a really big collapse of the date and it's kind of just like that the date was over. Yeah. Your hair gets stripped out. So it was after that the date was over and did she seem like okay or did she seem just like upset? I think she seemed like she was trying to hide out how upset she was. Okay. But you know, before the hair pulling out, everything was perfect. So I don't know. I just don't get it. I thought she was really into it like I was. Okay. Well, we'll see if we can figure it out then. Trent is on the phone and he's getting ghosted by a woman named Kara.

So we're about to call her and see if she'll tell us why she's ghosting him and maybe get him a second date. But first, Trent, why don't you break down your situation for us again real quick? Yeah. So I met the school Kara at the animal shelter where we both were volunteering. Asked her on a date, ironically, to have a picnic at that same animal shelter. He's going great. We were hanging out. And we were laying on a blanket that I brought. and right as I was going to kiss her, a parrot squeaked me, which was, I thought, hilarious. And she goes to get up and I didn't realize that her hair was under my elbow and it pulled a lot of her hair out. And now she hasn't talked to me since.

Trent, this sounds so ridiculous. You just like picture this moment happening. I'm so sorry. Are you ready for us to call her? Yes, thank you. Okay, here we go. Hello? Hi, may I speak to Kara, please.

Yeah, this is she. who's this? Hi, Kara, how are you? This is a radio show. It's called The Jubal Show. Hi, Kara. I'm Nina. Hi, I'm Victoria.

And my name is Jubal. How are you? Wait, this is the radio. Okay, I wasn't ready for this. The radio's calling. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

We do a segment on the show that's called the first date follow up. That's where if you go out on a date with somebody and end up ghosting them, that person can email us to get you on the phone and ask why you're ghosting them. And we got an email about you from somebody. Oh my gosh, okay? You have any idea who would email us? Are you currently ghosting somebody? Oh, God, this is uncomfortable.

I mean, maybe, would it be Trent probably? Congratulations, that is correct. It is Trent. Okay. All right. Would you mind telling us why you're ghosting Trent? Yeah, yeah, sure. So, okay, I basically, I overheard to, I don't know how much she told you,

but I overheard two of the other volunteers. We were volunteering whispering about Trent while I was on the date with him. And they were whispering about how like he's done this before, like this whole indoor picnic was not like he just does it with cute volunteers. And honestly, I don't want to be the next like pool and his little, you know, shelter dating tour. So what did he do? Yeah.

He like, it was very sweet, right? Like he created this like indoor picnic. at the shelter and like you know it's beautiful like the animals are there it's it's chill it's there's you had a blanket there's food it was very sweet the dogs are there but um yeah like i heard the volunteers like talking about it and be like yeah he does this all the time like every cute new volunteer and i'm like i that that feels crummy right like i'm like i don't need to be the next person he's because he was acting like this was you know what an inspired idea right like it was just for me like the first time he's ever done it exactly exactly and I'm

like nope that feels something blue red flags going off so what a move so he's just like an animal shelter player yeah yeah it's what it's all right too bad well thank you for telling us why you're ghosting him appreciate that carra yeah thanks us hopefully it's helpful yeah and also let you know that Trent is on the phone and has been listening and wants to talk to you. What? What? Oh, okay. What?

He's here now? Hey, yeah. Oh, boy. Hi. Hi. So you ghosted me over that? I didn't want to be like indoor picnic girl number seven, you know? All right, fine.

But look, I've done the picnics before, but that's because it's a cool spot, but I didn't want you to feel that way like I actually liked you oh okay sure mr. saint like a shelter date's like a predator praying on volunteers do you have a punch card you know like 10 picnics and you get a free cat or something I don't know this is dating I can't help if oh come on I can't help if that's my move but you can't ghost the guy for creating perfect TV moments okay maybe the moments were perfect but like your motive was not like are you kidding me I still don't even know why you like me what makes me so different like are you into me just because I ghosted you like I'm

suddenly not available and so you can't move on to the next like girl to set the picnic up for no no it's just it's the way you were with the animals you don't just play with them and you see them and you remembered every dog's name their story even the one that was nervous around men you kind of looked at me the same way and I know that sounds like a TV moment But look, I wasn't just another guy at the shelter that's when I knew you weren't just, you know, a moment. You were you. Oh, that was disgustingly sweet. Like, I'm pretty sure you say that to all the girls.

And yeah, I don't know what to say, man. Look, you can say whatever you want and I'll take it just as long as you don't ghost me. I don't know. Like, how can I trust you? You know, like, it's very sweet. what you just said to me but it like doesn't how do I know it's sincere I mean all the other volunteers are like know your playbook that you've done this before I've never I've never taken another volunteer on a second date and how about you trust me and so I

give you a reason not to trust me all right so you like what do you sleep of them all the first dates and then you got what you need and you don't call them back or or they just like don't ghost you so like now now I'm a challenge that's why you want to go on a second date with me definitely don't sleep with them on first date because that would be in public and that hasn't stopped people before. Very good point. You are funny. That's, that's for sure.

This is so weird. I can't believe for all the radio doing this. I don't know what to say. I'm like, I feel weird. Like, I don't know you. I feel they're like. And you can say whatever you want. I could take it.

I promise. Kara, would you like another date with Trent will pay for it? Maybe. But like no picnic. no shelter and and if I hear you've used the same move again like honestly I am I'm sticking the dogs on you okay all right that is a deal but only if I can keep Casanova okay yeah see this is why women need self-respect fine yes I I will give you another chance okay this is perfect what is Cassanova it's a movie but she was kind of you know tying back in the whole thing like I can't

help it if I do TV romantic style date. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I kind of love it. Because you're so smooth. Yeah.

Okay. So I can't help that I might be a help is romantic and I take her on TV dates, TV level romantic dates. And, um, care, I thought it was kind of funny to call me Cassanova.

And I actually love it. And I want that to be my nickname going forward. All right. Well, congratulations, Cassanova. You got a second date. Hey, let's go. Thank you. Kara, I promise you you will not regret this.

Okay. I can't wait for you to prove it to me. Hey, everyone, it's the Jonas Brothers. If you haven't heard, our new podcast is called Hey Jonas.
